Half-day and full-day tours
Our Snorkeling & Fishing tour departs from Naha on our own boat and heads to the Chibishi Islands, part of the Kerama island group.
Snorkel over coral and watch tropical fish in the clear water, then try fishing from the boat.
The fishing is simple and suitable for beginners and children. We don’t target large fish or particular species.
Choose a three-hour half-day tour or a five-hour full-day tour, depending on your schedule.
What you catch depends on the conditions that day. Catching a fish isn’t guaranteed.
About the Tour
① Snorkeling and Fishing in One Trip
You can snorkel and fish on the same trip in the clear waters around Chibishi.
Spend time in the water watching coral and tropical fish, then try fishing from the boat.
Prefer to stay on the boat? You can join for fishing only.
② No Fishing Experience Needed
You don’t need to have fished before to join.
We’ll show you how to use the rod and put bait on the hook. Children can try it too, with help from our staff.
③ Bring Your Family or Friends
You can enjoy both activities, or skip the snorkeling and stay on the boat to fish.
Up to eight guests can fish at once. If there are more than eight, we’ll organize turns.
You can relax on the boat while you wait for your turn.
