Reviews
Excellent! This is my second time visiting Miyakojima, and each time, Yaebishi is a must-do. They are very welcoming to foreigners and provide meticulous care. We saw so many fish! All in all, it's an essential experience.
We made a reservation for four people and went. It seemed like about 6 people were grouped together, and 4 groups were on the boat at the same time. Each group had an instructor assigned, and for those who couldn't swim, they were given a tube attached to a rope and pulled from start to finish :) There were a total of three spots, and the first one was the best. We started at 11:30 AM and returned around 2:30 PM.
the three spots under the sea is stunning! color of the coral are vibrant and fishes are active! thanks for yui’s guidance!
Miyako-ai (Miyako Blue) is beautiful and a highly recommended activity.
