Meet sea turtles on Ishigaki Island
When is the best time?

If I go all the way to Ishigaki Island, I want to see sea turtles!"
For those who think so, it is a point of great concern when you can meet them. In fact, sea turtles may be seen all year round, but encounter rates vary greatly depending on the time of year and conditions.

Here we will explain in simple terms the season when you are most likely to see sea turtles and the key points to increase your chances of meeting them.

Summer is the best season to see sea turtles.

Sea turtles live around Ishigaki Island all year round, but are especially active from spring to summer when the sea water temperature rises.

From April to October, the water temperature is stable and sea turtles are more active. Especially during the egg-laying season from May to September, the possibility of encountering sea turtles swimming in the shallows to lay their eggs increases.

Professional guides in the field also recommend this time of year for the highest encounter rates.

It is more than time that determines the encounter rate.
“Location and Timing.”

Once sea turtles find a favorite root, they tend to spend most of their time around it, and there is a relatively high probability of encountering them in a particular area.

On the other hand, there is no clear time rule, such as "it's morning, so it's easier to see," and the behavior depends on the sea conditions and timing of the day.

It is not uncommon to find turtles “not in their usual place” or “moving to a different point. Therefore, ”point selection and timing" are more important than "time of day" for encounters with sea turtles.

How to choose a snorkel on Ishigaki Island

If you want to see sea turtles on Ishigaki Island, the quality of the experience will vary greatly depending on whether you "look for them on your own" or "join a tour.

If freedom and cost are important to you, we recommend individual tours; if certainty and safety are important to you, we recommend tours!

Advantages and disadvantages of searching for sea turtles on your own

The greatest advantage of searching privately is the freedom to act freely without being restricted by time or location, and the ability to keep costs down.

This method can be a hurdle, especially for beginners and those who do not know the land.

Guided tours are available.
The reason for the overwhelmingly high encounter rate

Guided tours are led by professionals who are familiar with the sea turtle emergence points and the sea conditions of the day, so you can search for sea turtles efficiently.

In many cases, information is shared among guides, and in some cases, points are selected based on real-time appearance information.

The major attraction of this service is that it provides excellent safety support, and even beginners can meet people at a high rate of confidence☆.

The parking lot itself is well maintained, but the route to the caves is not paved, but rather a natural route.

First, as you exit the parking lot, you will enter a narrow path surrounded by trees. This area is overgrown with plants unique to the subtropical zone, giving the impression that you are walking through a jungle.

Because the footing is somewhat slippery due to the soil and sand, comfortable footwear such as marine shoes is recommended rather than sandals.

After a short distance, the view opens up and you will find the beach that serves as the entry point to the Blue Cave.

From here, snorkel at high tide and walk to the Blue Cave at low tide.

How does the landscape change with low and high tide?
How to check the tide table

The Blue Cave's visibility changes dramatically as the tides change the water level and the way light enters the cave.

While at high tide, light reflects off the surface of the water and tends to appear more vivid blue,Emerald green at low tideThe color tends to be similar to the

Tide levels change approximately every 6 hours, so it is important to check the tide tables in advance. It is recommended to use tour company guides and weather websites and aim for the time around high tide.

Understand the difference from Cape Maeda.

Okinawa Main IslandBlue Cave at Cape Maedais well maintained as a tourist attraction, with ample parking, showers, changing rooms, and other facilities.
