Overview

No car? No problem! Use our convenient service to travel from Naha or Chatan to the Blue Cave and enjoy an unforgettable snorkeling experience. Discover Okinawa’s most famous snorkeling spot, the Blue Cave, in an easy and comfortable way. No need to walk down steep stairs or cross rocky areas to reach the ocean. With this tour, you’ll board a dedicated boat directly from the port. The boat ride takes only about 10 minutes, making access quick, easy, and stress-free. This tour is ideal for guests who may not feel confident with physically demanding access. Inside the cave, sunlight reflecting on the water creates a stunning, mysterious blue glow—an unforgettable natural phenomenon known as Okinawa’s “Blue Cave.” Additional Information: ・Your instructor will take photos and videos during the tour (available for purchase: ¥3,000, payable on site) ・The tour requires a minimum of 2 participants to operate, but solo bookings are welcome
