I couldn't fully enjoy it because the weather was bad due to the rain and typhoon, but the scenery was nice and it was good for snorkeling. 4 out of 5 stars because I went when it was raining

Although the weather wasn't great that day, so we couldn't see the spectacular blue hole colors, snorkeling near the beach was still fantastic! Lots of coral and fish, and the deep trenches were magnificent!

Mon voyage à ishigaki à était sauvé grâce à cet endroit, j'y suis allé seule sans excursion et je conseil fortement de faire de même pour pouvoir faire ce que vous voulais. J'y suis allé marré basse, dans la grotte directement il n'y avait quasiment rien mais jai nagé un peux plus et pour se repérer il suffit de suivre les groupes en excursion. Les récifs était dingue et incroyable des profondeur de coraux énormes jai beaucoup aimé.
