Okinawa: Passeio de barco com fundo de vidro na Praia de Mibaru

This place is super fun and beautiful. The glass-bottom boat is really enjoyable, and there are many fish. The boat itself is not bad at all. It's truly stunning when the weather is good, but the boat trips can take quite a while, so it won't return immediately.

Location: Mibaru Beach is about a 30-40 minute drive from Naha. I'm not sure about public transportation as I didn't use it, but if you have a car, it's a worthwhile trip. The water is incredibly clear, and there are unique rock formations, making the beach beautiful. Parking is paid (500 yen). Experience: You take an approximately 12-seater boat with a transparent bottom out to sea to observe underwater fish. The experience is relatively short, about 20 minutes, but you can observe various fish closely and clearly at four different spots. It's a slightly different feeling than seeing them in an aquarium. I think it's a great alternative for those who can't dive. The fish you frequently encounter have their pictures and names posted on the boat. The captain kindly explains things at the observation points, but only in Japanese. Safety: Personal safety equipment like life jackets are not provided separately, but the boat has a roof and you can only sit, so it's not particularly dangerous.

I found the registration and seating arrangements to be very flexible! The boatman was also very safe in helping us board and disembark, and during the tour, we were pleasantly surprised to spot sea turtles and large coral fish, satisfying the eyes of everyone traveling together.

Okinawa in late July boasts beautiful blue skies, white clouds, and scenic views. The sea water is slightly warm, and the staff are friendly and easy to communicate with. The boat is stable, and it's more comfortable to sit by an open window.

Very cool experience. We arrived way earlier than expected and they let us change our time to an earlier departure which was great.

The boat didn't provide life jackets, and I was a bit scared when we encountered big waves. However, the underwater world was truly spectacular, and I even saw sea turtles, which made me very happy. It's definitely worth a visit.

This was a very special experience taking a glass-bottom boat out to sea at Okinawa's Shinbaru Beach. The captain even made a special effort to show us sea turtles. It was a truly worthwhile trip!

Fun, with clear water and fine sand. You can see the bottomless seabed, with fish and sea turtles. A great experience 👍🏻

The staff were very enthusiastic. They were worried we'd wait too long, so they quickly contacted the boat that had just departed to wait for us. Unfortunately, it was really cold that day, and the fish were all hiding. However, the captain specifically told us where the sea turtles were and even stopped for a while so we could take good photos! Big thumbs up!

It was very convenient to use the voucher, and we were lucky enough to see sea turtles! The beach wasn't too crowded, and the large rocks along the shore were beautiful. The vending machines by the beach don't accept electronic payments; you need Japanese yen.
