Blue Cave Snorkeling
Tour Details
Tour Details
The Blue Cave is Okinawa's most popular spot for snorkeling. Beyond the mysterious blue glow inside the cave, the area is rich in tropical fish and coral, making it a perfect first-time snorkeling point in Okinawa. Many of the tropical fish here are used to people, and at B-nature fish feeding is included in the price — getting up close with the fish is an unforgettable experience, not just for adults but for kids too.
You don't need any certification or particular skill for snorkeling. You'll wear a life jacket, so kids and beginners alike can enjoy it.
Since you meet directly at the site, the tour itself is shorter, leaving you more time to play and enjoy the water!
