Plan introduction( SUP & Turtle Snorkeling Pumpkin Cave Exploration )
This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy the great nature of Miyako Island for a full day.
This is a full day tour that includes SUP in the beautiful ocean of Miyako Island, snorkeling at a spot where you can swim with sea turtles, and caving.
In the morning, we experienced SUP at Sunset Beach near the city center.
The current is calm here, so even first-timers can enjoy with ease.
If you look down into the ocean, you will be amazed at how clear the water is, so much so that you can even see the bottom of the ocean.
After enjoying SUP, it is time to get in the water.
We will move to a beach where sea turtles are highly probable to appear.
This is the only place where you can have the dreamlike experience of being able to see and swim with sea turtles, which are listed as an endangered species, up close and personal.
Finally, we will go caving at “Pumpkin Hole,” a cave whose entrance emerges from the sea surface only at low tide.
We will take a sea kayak to the entrance of the Pumpkin Hole.
Your sense of adventure will be heightened as you go deeper into the caves, where giant stalactites shaped like pumpkins are found.
This tour allows you to enjoy three of the most popular activities on Miyako Island in just one day.
