What to expect
[What is Phantom Island?]
About 30 minutes by boat from Ishigaki Port, the water suddenly becomes shallow and a world of stunning emerald blue opens up. The official name is "Hamajima". It is called the "phantom island" because it disappears at high tide. [What is Ishinishi Shallow Lagoon?]
It is the largest coral reef area in Japan, named after the "stone" of Ishigaki Island and the "west" of Iriomote Island. This area, designated as Iriomote Ishigaki National Park, is home to more than 400 species of coral, and plays an important role as a source of coral larvae to Okinawa's main island and other areas. Having abundant coral means naturally rich marine life, expanding into a vibrant underwater world.

Since it was raining on and off, I think it can't be helped, but I believe it's better to cancel on days with rough waves. The boat was rocking a lot, it hurt my backside, and at the phantom island, it was raining and cold, so it wasn't enjoyable at all. The staff was kind and their service was good.アメが降ったり止んだりなので、仕方ないかと思うのですが、波風ある日は中止にした方が良いかと思います。 船はバンバンゆれ、お尻が痛いし、幻の島では、雨が降り寒いし、全然、楽しくなかったです。 スタッフは、親切で対応は良かったです。

The weather was nice, and the 30-minute boat ride to the island was wonderful with a refreshing breeze. There was a proper beginner's explanation for snorkeling.
At the phantom island, we were repeatedly told, "Please wash your feet and take off your sandals so we don't get sand in the boat!" The photo service was only available twice, once during the boat ride and once at the phantom island. There were no interesting anecdotes or lively discussions; it was quite subdued and straightforward.

This was based on the assumption that customers would arrive by rental car, and we acknowledge that the details were insufficiently clarified. We have promptly revised the information on our tour page.
According to the situation on the day of the tour, after you arrived at the meeting point on foot, it was necessary to walk an additional 10 minutes to the actual boarding location. Therefore, we were informed that we arranged for a shuttle vehicle to ensure you arrived on time for the start of the tour. Additionally, after the tour concluded, we received reports that we provided transportation to your accommodation to avoid any inconvenience in an unfamiliar port.
We did our utmost to ensure you enjoyed the tour to the fullest, but we regret that we could not meet your expectations.
We will continue to strive to provide activities that ensure your satisfaction in collaboration with the operating company, and we hope you will consider using our services again in the future.
Best regards, VELTRA Sales Team この度はVELTRAをご利用いただきありがとうございます。 特典のGoProレンタルにつきまして、事前にSDカードをご用意いただき心待ちにされていたにもかかわらず、結果としてご利用いただくことができず、申し訳ございません。
Thank you for taking care of me during my trip! Although I mentioned that I didn't need a wetsuit, it was cloudy during the snorkeling, and it was very cold on the return boat. I should have asked to bring the wetsuit on board even if I didn't wear it. Thank you very much.GWお世話になりました！自分からウェット不要と申しでたものの、シュノーケル時点で曇り空、帰りの船上も非常に寒かったので、ウェット着用しなくとも船に持ち込ませて頂く様にすればよかったです。 ありがとうございました。

Since many tour companies gather in one place, it can get crowded, but that's to be expected. On the day of the tour, the port was just a short drive from the meeting point, where we parked and boarded the boat. There were about 20 participants and 3 staff members. They provided a brief snorkeling lecture and accompanied us during the actual snorkeling. We were able to see many fish in the beautiful sea. However, I would have appreciated a bit more time for snorkeling.
One downside was the lack of showers. I had to rinse off using a hose at the port. I recommend staying at a hotel for consecutive nights when using the tour, so you can use the hotel shower during the day. 3連休の真ん中だった日曜日に半日ツアーを利用しました。 天候にも恵まれ、幻の島とシュノーケリングを楽しめました。若い女の子達は幻の島で無料レンタルの人魚コスプレでの撮影も楽しんでいました。 各ツアー会社がわんさか集まるので混雑していますが、仕方ないですね。 当日は待ち合わせ場所から車でほんの少し移動した場所に港があり、そこの駐車場に車を停めて乗船。 参加者約20名に対し、スタッフ3名。シュノーケリングの簡単な講義をしてくれ、実際のシュノーケリングにも帯同してくれました。美しい海で魚をたくさん見ることができま… 3連休の真ん中だった日曜日に半日ツアーを利用しました。 天候にも恵まれ、幻の島とシュノーケリングを楽しめました。若い女の子達は幻の島で無料レンタルの人魚コスプレでの撮影も楽しんでいました。 各ツアー会社がわんさか集まるので混雑していますが、仕方ないですね。 当日は待ち合わせ場所から車でほんの少し移動した場所に港があり、そこの駐車場に車を停めて乗船。 参加者約20名に対し、スタッフ3名。シュノーケリングの簡単な講義をしてくれ、実際のシュノーケリングにも帯同してくれました。美しい海で魚をたくさん見ることができました。ただ、もう少しシュノーケリングの時間があると嬉しいところです。 残念だったのはシャワーが無かったこと。仕方なく、港にある水道のホースで体を流しました。ツアー利用の際にはホテルを連泊し、昼間でもホテルのシャワーを使える用意をしておくことをオススメします。

A fulfilling half-day! Is low tide the best time?

I participated in the half-day plan. In the morning, they picked me up at the hotel on time and took me to the port. It was farther from the island terminal than I expected, so I was glad I didn't have to go there on my own.
With 14 passengers and 3 crew members, we set off on a boat with a sunshade. They lent us seasickness bands at the start, and thanks to that, even though it was a day with high waves, no one got seasick until the end.

That day, the tide was higher than ever, and the phantom island was only partially visible. Since it was crowded with other tour guests, we decided to snorkel first and then go to the phantom island.
During the transfer, there was a snorkeling lesson, and they provided very detailed instructions.
Finally, we arrived at Ishigaki Coral Lagoon. There were colorful fish and blue and yellow corals! I even saw a clownfish! It was a bit disappointing that the visibility wasn't as high as I had hoped, but I still had a great time.
It was a bit chilly during the transfer after getting in the water, so it would be good to have a cover-up that can get wet.
And finally, we reached the phantom island.
After swimming a bit from the boat, we landed on the island. It was truly a beach-only island, and I was moved! Since the tide had receded more than in the morning and the number of tour guests had decreased, I was glad that RISE adjusted the plan according to the situation. I took plenty of photos for 30 minutes, lay on the sandy beach, and thoroughly enjoyed the phantom island. I didn't have the courage to dress up as a mermaid, but it looked cute when I saw others doing it.
The morning tour ended at 12:00, and they took us back to the hotel afterward.
You can have plenty of fun even with the half-day plan! They provided all the necessary snorkeling gear, tea, and seasickness bands, so all you need to do is wear your swimsuit and bring a towel while waiting at the hotel, which is convenient. The service was very polite, so I highly recommend it. Since the tide was too high this time, I would like to participate again during low tide. 半日プランに参加しました。 朝、時間通りにホテルまで迎えに来てくれ、港まで送ってくれました。離島ターミナルからは思ったより離れた港だったので自力で行かなくて良かったです。

I participated in a half-day tour of the Phantom Island and Ishigaki Coral Reef snorkeling. Since I chose not to have transportation included, I drove my rental car and gathered in front of Toyoko Inn, where the staff guided us to the nearby marina for participation. By the way, the boat tends to sway quite a bit, so I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take medication before boarding. For those who have no issues, if the weather is good, you can enjoy a refreshing cruis… I participated in a half-day tour of the Phantom Island and Ishigaki Coral Reef snorkeling.

By the way, the boat tends to sway quite a bit, so I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take medication before boarding. For those who have no issues, if the weather is good, you can enjoy a refreshing cruise until arrival.
As for the tour, we first visited the Phantom Island and had some free time to explore. We were blessed with good weather that day, and although there were quite a few tourists, the stunning scenery was just as I had seen in commercials and on TV, making it an unforgettable memory.
Next, we boarded the boat again and moved to Ishigaki Coral Reef to enjoy snorkeling. The water was relatively shallow, allowing us to enjoy the corals and colorful fish, but honestly, I felt that the snorkeling I did the day before at Barasu Island was better in terms of the vibrancy of the corals and the number of fish (this may depend on the sea conditions of the day and is subjective, so just for reference).
After finishing snorkeling, we returned to the marina where we started. Since we participated for half a day, we disembarked here, concluding the tour. Those on the full-day course seemed to have a meal before departing again. After disembarking, the staff guided us to the office where we were able to take a shower. Since I planned to take an afternoon flight home, having access to a clean facility for a shower was very helpful.
Lastly, regarding the staff, they were very kind and seemed to take great care to ensure safety, which left a very good impression on me. If I come back next year, I would definitely like to rely on their services again. 幻の島＋石西礁湖シュノーケリングの半日ツアーに参加しました。 送迎なしを選択したので、レンタカーに乗り東横イン前に集合、近くのマリーナまでスタッフの方に誘導されての参加となります。 ちなみに、船は割と揺れるので、酔いやすい方は薬を服用し乗船されたほうが良いと思いました。まったく問題なしという方は、好天であれば到着するまで爽快なクルージングを楽しむことができます。 ツアーですが、最初に幻の島を訪れ、思い思いの散策となります。 当日は天気に恵まれ、観光客の方たちもそれなりに多かったのですが、CMやらTVやらで見… 幻の島＋石西礁湖シュノーケリングの半日ツアーに参加しました。 送迎なしを選択したので、レンタカーに乗り東横イン前に集合、近くのマリーナまでスタッフの方に誘導されての参加となります。 ちなみに、船は割と揺れるので、酔いやすい方は薬を服用し乗船されたほうが良いと思いました。まったく問題なしという方は、好天であれば到着するまで爽快なクルージングを楽しむことができます。 ツアーですが、最初に幻の島を訪れ、思い思いの散策となります。 当日は天気に恵まれ、観光客の方たちもそれなりに多かったのですが、CMやらTVやらで見ていた通りの素晴らしい景色は想像通りで、忘れられない思い出となりました。 続いて、再び乗船し石西礁湖に移動、シュノーケリングを楽しむ行程になります。水深は割と浅め、サンゴや色とりどりの魚を楽しむことができますが、正直なところ前日に参加したバラス島でのシュノーケリングのほうが、サンゴの鮮やかさや魚の多さといった点では勝っていたように思います（当日の海のコンディションにもよりますし、主観も入っているので参考までにということで）。 シュノーケリングを終了した後、出発地のマリーナに戻りました。私たちは、半日参加でしたので、ここで下船しツアー終了となります。一日コースの方たちは、食事をしまた出発されるようでした。下船後、車でオフィスまで誘導していただき、シャワーを浴びさせていただきました。午後飛行機に乗り、帰る予定であったので、綺麗な施設でシャワーを浴びられたことはとても助かりました。 最後にスタッフの方たちですが、とても優しく安全にすごく気をつかっていただいている様子でとても好感が持てました。 来年、また来ることがあれば是非お世話になりたいと思います。

Since the Phantom Island gets crowded in the morning, we went snorkeling first. We were able to snorkel for about 40 minutes in an area with many blue coral reefs, and I was very satisfied. The blue corals were beautiful! Although the water was a bit murky due to the wind, there were plenty of fish, and the kids were happy. My older child wanted to return to the boat early, so I was able to leave them there while I enjoyed snorkeling alone. Thank you very much!

It seems that the sports available vary depending on the weather, but I probably tried around 8 or 9 different activities in those two hours.

In the afternoon, we went to Hamajima for snorkeling. When I asked the staff to take pictures, they captured some amazing shots that felt like a pre-wedding photoshoot, creating wonderful memories!
You can even become a mermaid, so definitely ask the staff about that! Although we weren't blessed with great weather, we went back around Ishigaki Island for snorkeling, and it was still incredibly beautiful. The tour allowed for a leisurely snorkeling experience with explanations, and I had a lot of great conversations with the staff and fellow participants. It was truly a fantastic one-day tour!

I was definitely sore the next day! 1日ツアーで全力で楽しみました！ 午前中はマリンスポーツ2時間ちょい満喫しました。 天候によって遊べるスポーツが異なるようですが、2時間でおそらく8.9個ぐらいは乗りました。 ビーチで遊ぶより、かなりコスパがいいと思うのでとてもオススメです！ 朝の9時からめちゃめちゃ叫んでストレス発散。笑 激しめをお願いしたら腕がちぎれそうになる程全力で楽しませてくれるスタッフさんです！ 午後からは浜島とシュノーケリング 浜島では、スタッフさんに写真を撮って欲しいとお願いしたら、結婚式の前撮りのようなレベルでめちゃめちゃ良い感じに… 1日ツアーで全力で楽しみました！ 午前中はマリンスポーツ2時間ちょい満喫しました。 天候によって遊べるスポーツが異なるようですが、2時間でおそらく8.9個ぐらいは乗りました。 ビーチで遊ぶより、かなりコスパがいいと思うのでとてもオススメです！ 朝の9時からめちゃめちゃ叫んでストレス発散。笑 激しめをお願いしたら腕がちぎれそうになる程全力で楽しませてくれるスタッフさんです！ 午後からは浜島とシュノーケリング 浜島では、スタッフさんに写真を撮って欲しいとお願いしたら、結婚式の前撮りのようなレベルでめちゃめちゃ良い感じに撮ってくれてとてもいい思い出になりました！ マーメイドにもなれちゃいますので、是非スタッフさんにお願いしてみてください！笑 天気に恵まれなかったので、シュノーケリングは石垣島の周りまで戻って、となりましたが、それでもほんまに綺麗ですごかったです。 解説付きで、自由度も高めのゆっくりシュノーケリングさせていただけるツアーでした。 スタッフの皆さんともいっぱいお話しさせていただけて、一緒になった方々とも仲良くなれて、とてもよい1日ツアーでした！

The marine sports were so abundant that we hardly had any time to rest, and we played so much in the morning that we exhausted our energy.

We could specify which marine sports we wanted to do, and they adjusted the speed, making it enjoyable even for our child (in early elementary school). Many of the staff were very friendly, and they were kind during snorkeling as well, which made us very satisfied. Our child was delighted to see fish like Nemo.
The only disappointing point was that the pickup car had no air conditioning, and the back seat windows were also closed, making the approximately 15-minute ride very hot, which caused our child to feel unwell. I think I should have spoken up, but I endured it because I didn't know the time or distance until we arrived. The return car had air conditioning, so I wish the pickup car had been air-conditioned as well. ７月下旬に家族３人で参加しました。 マリンスポーツを満喫したあと、幻の島とシュノーケリングを楽しみました。 マリンスポーツはほとんど休む時間がないほど乗り放題で、午前中で体力を使い果たしてしまうくらいたくさん遊べました。 こちらから乗りたいマリンスポーツを指定することもでき、スピードも調節してもらえるので、子供（小学生低学年）でも十分に堪能できます。 スタッフはとてもフレンドリーな方が多く、シュノーケリングでも親切に対応していただけてとても満足しています。ニモなどを見ることができて子供も喜んでいました。 … ７月下旬に家族３人で参加しました。 マリンスポーツを満喫したあと、幻の島とシュノーケリングを楽しみました。 マリンスポーツはほとんど休む時間がないほど乗り放題で、午前中で体力を使い果たしてしまうくらいたくさん遊べました。 こちらから乗りたいマリンスポーツを指定することもでき、スピードも調節してもらえるので、子供（小学生低学年）でも十分に堪能できます。 スタッフはとてもフレンドリーな方が多く、シュノーケリングでも親切に対応していただけてとても満足しています。ニモなどを見ることができて子供も喜んでいました。 １点だけ残念だったのは、迎えの車に冷房がかかっておらず、後部座席は窓も開いていなかったため、到着するまでの約15分間がとても暑く、子供の具合が悪くなってしまったことです。。こちらからも声をかければよかったのだとは思うのですが、到着するまでの時間や距離感がわからずずっと我慢してしまいました。帰りの車は冷房がかかっていたので、迎えの車も冷房をかけた状態にしていただければよかったなと思いました。

We couldn't find any turtles as they seemed to be out, but we had a relaxing and leisurely tour with the two of you, and it was so much fun to chat with you!
Let's definitely meet again in Ishigaki Island on a sunny day, not during the rainy season!ちゃむ様 先日はツアーご参加ありがとうございました!天気はあいにくでしたが、まれにみる透明度で私たちもテンション上げ上げで一緒に楽しませていただきました☆ カメはお出掛け中か見つけられませんでしたがお二人とのんびりゆったりツアーさせていただき、たくさんお話しもさせてもらえて、とっても楽しかったです!
ぜひ、また梅雨ではない、晴天の石垣島でおあいしましょう!

First of all, thank you for the wonderful memories on Ishigaki Island! Before the end of the rainy season, I was worried because the weather forecast showed cloudy and rainy conditions. There were some downpours during our travel, but the sun occasionally peeked out while we were active. We headed towards a spot where we could meet sea turtles, but due to the rain clouds and wind conditions, safety was prioritized, and we ended up at a different spot. Upon arrival at the new spot, the guide went… First of all, thank you for the wonderful memories on Ishigaki Island! Before the end of the rainy season, I was worried because the weather forecast showed cloudy and rainy conditions. There were some downpours during our travel, but the sun occasionally peeked out while we were active. We headed towards a spot where we could meet sea turtles, but due to the rain clouds and wind conditions, safety was prioritized, and we ended up at a different spot. Upon arrival at the new spot, the guide went in first to check the conditions and, finding the visibility poor, we moved to yet another spot. We successfully started snorkeling! Unfortunately, we couldn't meet any sea turtles, but we did encounter beautiful fish among the coral.
I was very pleased with the effort to find a snorkeling spot. If I could wish for something, it would be nice to have one guide per group. There were differences in stamina, and since I participated with my son, it felt like the guide was doing their best to assist everyone else. It would have been even better if we could have heard a bit more about the fish and coral.
I didn't feel any anxiety regarding infection control measures. Additionally, I didn't use the one-way ticket for the free trip to Taketomi Island, but I thought it was a nice perk that anyone could use. まずは、石垣島の良い思い出をありがとうございました！梅雨明け前で天気予報は、曇り雨マークで心配でしたが、移動中はスコールのような雨もありましたが、活動中は時折太陽も顔を出してくれました。ウミガメに会えると言うスポットは、雨雲と風の状況から、安全を優先すると言う事で途中まで向かいましたが、残念ながら別スポットに。到着した別スポットでガイドさんが先に潜り状況確認され、透明度が無いと言う事で更に別のスポットに。無事シュノーケリングスタート！残念ながら、ウミガメに会う事出来ませんでしたが、珊瑚に綺麗な魚… まずは、石垣島の良い思い出をありがとうございました！梅雨明け前で天気予報は、曇り雨マークで心配でしたが、移動中はスコールのような雨もありましたが、活動中は時折太陽も顔を出してくれました。ウミガメに会えると言うスポットは、雨雲と風の状況から、安全を優先すると言う事で途中まで向かいましたが、残念ながら別スポットに。到着した別スポットでガイドさんが先に潜り状況確認され、透明度が無いと言う事で更に別のスポットに。無事シュノーケリングスタート！残念ながら、ウミガメに会う事出来ませんでしたが、珊瑚に綺麗な魚たちには出会う事が出来ました^_^ シュノーケリング出来るスポットを何とか探してくださる対応はとても嬉しかったです。欲を言うとすれば、対応ガイドさんの人数がグループに一人いるといいかな。と感じました。やはり、体力などの差もあり、私は息子と参加したのですが、海の中でのガイドさんの対応は他の方達で精一杯と言う感じでした。もう少し魚や珊瑚の説明が聞ければより良かったかな。 感染対策などは、不安に感じるところはありませんでした。 他、無料竹富島行きの片道チケットは使用しなかったので、誰でもが使用出来る特典が嬉しいかな。と思いました。

First, we landed on the Phantom Island after snorkeling. I participated in the morning tour, and we were able to go at a relatively relaxed pace. The weather was nice, and it was a highly satisfying tour.まずはシュノーケル後幻の島に上陸。午前のツアーに参加しましたが、比較的ゆっくり回れました。天気も良くて満足度の高いツアーでした。

I participated in the half-day course for landing on Hamajima and snorkeling. The weather was a bit cloudy, but I could see clearly underwater. It was my first time snorkeling, and the captain provided thorough guidance. At first, I struggled due to fear, but gradually I got used to it and was able to enjoy watching for a long time. The other staff members were also friendly and engaged in conversation, making for a fun half-day experience.浜島上陸とシュノーケリングの半日コースに参加しました。少し天気が曇りがちでしたが、キレイに海の中が見れました。初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、船長さんが丁寧に指導してくださり、初めのうちは恐怖心からなかなかうまくできませんでしたが、徐々に慣れ長い時間見る事ができるようになりました。他スタッフの方々も気さくに話しかけてくださり、楽しい半日を過ごす事ができました。

I am very satisfied with the plan itself. The sea was beautiful, nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, the wetsuit provided was tight, and I couldn't borrow prescription goggles, so I couldn't see clearly while snorkeling. I would appreciate it if you could ask about preferences when making the reservation.プラン自体は大満足です。海はきれいで言うこと無し。残念だったのは、与えられたウエットスーツがきつかったのと、度付きゴーグルが借りれなかったのでシュノーケリングはぼやけて良く見えなかった。申し込みの時に希望きいていただけるとありがたい。

On the day of our trip, the weather was not great, and I experienced seasickness for the first time due to the rough boat ride. Thanks to the incredibly hospitable staff, we were able to safely land on the elusive island. The pick-up and drop-off service was excellent, so my husband and I, who do not drive, felt at ease.当日、天気がいまいちでボートの激しい揺れのため船酔いを初体験しました。ホスピタリティー溢れるスタッフの方のお陰で無事に幻の島に上陸することができました。送り迎えをバッチリしていただけるので、車に乗らない私達夫婦も安心でした。

My first snorkeling experience. I was very nervous, but I was taught carefully, and even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy it. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, but underwater, it was a completely different world, and I had a blast with my friends! The phantom island felt mystical, as if it were standing right in the middle of the ocean.初めてのシュノーケリング。とてもドキドキしていましたが丁寧に教えていただき、初心者でも楽しめました。あいにくの曇り空でしたが、海の中は全く関係なく別世界が広がっており、友達と一緒に大はしゃぎ‼幻の島も海のど真ん中に立っているようで神秘的でした。
