Selected] Kohama Island Tours Premium Plan

I took this three-island tour with my husband as part of our anniversary trip. The waters around Panari Island and Kuro Island, where unspoiled nature remains, were incredibly clear, and the two of us were constantly awestruck by the beauty of the vibrant coral reefs. The photo taken of us on the white sandy beach of the “phantom island” is a treasure we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Sharing this special, out-of-the-ordinary experience made for the best anniversary trip ever.

As we traveled from Panari Island to Kuro Island and then to the “Phantom Island,” I felt deeply soothed by the sea, which revealed different shades of blue at each stop. As I swam alongside the vibrantly colored fish, it felt as though the fatigue of everyday life was melting away with the waves… If I had to nitpick, the sun was quite strong, so it would have been perfect if the awning on the boat had been a little larger. Even so, it was a deeply satisfying and rejuvenating trip.

The waters around Panari Island, known as the “Last Paradise,” were far more beautiful than I had ever imagined. The instructor’s pre-dive briefing was spot-on, allowing me to calmly observe the pristine coral reefs and colorful fish. Even though I booked on the same day, the staff treated me with great care, and I felt this was a truly high-quality snorkeling tour.

As I dived into the calm, crystal-clear waters off Panari Island, the hustle and bustle of daily life seemed to vanish, and my mind felt completely refreshed. I was deeply soothed by the fish swimming as if they were dancing around the colorful coral reefs… Surrounded by unspoiled nature, I spent such a peaceful moment that I completely lost track of time.

I wasn’t very confident about snorkeling because I’m not a strong swimmer, but the instructor patiently taught me everything from how to use the buoyancy aid, and kept a close eye on me even after we got in the water, so my nerves quickly melted away. I became completely captivated by the beautiful waters around Panari Island, and before I knew it, I’d forgotten all my fears and was just having fun. It’s a wonderful tour that even beginners can enjoy with peace of mind.

It was a well-planned itinerary that allowed us to efficiently visit popular spots—Panari Island, Kuro Island, and the “Phantom Island”—all in a single day. We were able to enjoy snorkeling at each island, and it was fascinating to observe the differences in the types of coral and fish. The staff were very attentive, which made me feel completely at ease during the tour.
