Overview

★Phantom Island: a pure-white sandbar that appears only around low tide, surrounded by turquoise sea. Two of Ishigaki's best experiences in one booking: land on the Phantom Island, a white sandbar that appears in the emerald sea, snorkel with tropical fish, then watch the sunset over the ocean at St.ELMO while enjoying half a lobster and Ishigaki beef by a Michelin chef. Why PiPi: No.1* marine activity shop in Japan in 4 categories, 500,000+ guests guided. Okinawa-certified safe operator; all guides are certified water rescuers. *Survey of 5 major shops by Japan Marketing Research Organization, Jun 29-Jul 3, 2026. Does not guarantee superiority.

Itinerary

Meet your guide at Euglena Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal and travel by boat (about 30 minutes) to the Phantom Island (Hamajima), a pure white sandbar in the middle of the emerald sea. Land on the island, take photos (your guide will take photos for you), and snorkel among colorful tropical fish and coral reefs with a certified guide (about 1.5 hours). After returning, the tour ends at the terminal, or at Ishigaki Shower Station if you would like to shower and change. Then make your own way to Oceanfront Grill St.ELMO ISHIGAKI, the restaurant closest to the sea on Ishigaki Island, for a sunset dinner from 18:00 featuring half a lobster and Ishigaki beef prepared by a Michelin chef. Transportation to the restaurant and after dinner is not included. Dinner upgrades can be booked as separate options: an Ishigaki beef tasting (sirloin 90 g and fillet 90 g) or an 8-course French full course.
