Sapphire Cave Exploration

This natural cave is formed by seawater surging deep inside. The external light refracts, scattering a blue glow across the water's surface, creating the illusion of being inside a jewel.

Snorkeling with Tropical Fish

The area around the cave is one of Miyakojima's premier snorkeling spots. With shallow waters, even beginners can enjoy with peace of mind, encountering diverse marine life from clownfish (Nemo) to sea turtles.
