Crystal-clear waters, warm sunshine, and slow, relaxing days—
Okinawa offers all of that and more.
But if there's one activity that truly captures the essence of the island,
it’s Blue Cave snorkeling.


So, why is Blue Cave snorkeling a must?

Located along the cliffs of Maeda Misaki on Okinawa’s main island,
the Blue Cave is a naturally formed sea cave famous for its glowing blue light.
As sunlight hits the water and reflects inside the cave,
the entire space becomes illuminated in deep shades of blue.

It’s stunning in photos, but experiencing it in person?
That’s on a whole different level.

Don’t worry if you’re not a confident swimmer.
Life jackets are provided, and you’ll be guided by experienced instructors.
Plus, the water is shallow enough for beginners to safely enjoy.
