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!
The experience was excellent, and the shop Aquabase was very patient and enthusiastic. I will definitely sign up again next time I visit.
Miyako-ai (Miyako Blue) is beautiful and a highly recommended activity.
