Ishigaki is home to some of the richest marine life in Japan. Located within the Yaeyama coral reef system, the island’s clear waters and healthy reef formations create ideal conditions for underwater biodiversity.
Most of Ishigaki’s reefs are dominated by hard corals, which build the solid reef structures that support the entire ecosystem. These coral formations create natural habitats for hundreds of species of tropical fish and marine animals.
While snorkeling above these coral gardens, you may encounter butterflyfish, parrotfish, clownfish, angelfish, surgeonfish, and triggerfish weaving between the reef. Large schools of fish often move together across the coral slopes, creating constantly changing underwater scenes.
Green sea turtles are one of the most special highlights of Ishigaki marine life. They are often seen resting calmly on the coral along the reef. If we are lucky, you may watch a turtle slowly rise to the surface for air — and that moment sometimes allows us to observe them much closer before they gently return to the reef.
Depending on the season, you might also spot reef sharks, rays, squid, mackerel, tuna, or even giant cuttlefish during their unique mating displays. Every snorkeling tour is different.
We choose the snorkeling location each day based on sea and weather conditions to access the healthiest reef areas with the best visibility. All snorkeling is done directly from the shore, allowing a relaxed pace and more time exploring the reef.
This amazing underwater world is delicate. Coral reefs grow slowly and can be harmed easily. That’s why we follow responsible snorkeling practices — and ask you to do the same:
✓ Don’t touch the reef or marine animals– Coral is alive and breaks easily.
✓ Float gently above the reef – Never stand or kick your fins against coral.
✓ Keep a respectful distance – Give fish, turtles, and other sea life their space.
✓ Leave everything in the ocean – Shells, rocks, and sea creatures belong in the sea.
✓ Use reef-safe sunscreen – Ordinary sunscreen can harm coral. Choose reef-friendly options.
By snorkeling with care, we can all help protect Ishigaki’s marine life for future generations.
