Underwater Observation Boat New Shakotan
Encounter sea life in a vibrant underwater world under the deep blue sea!
Departing from Bikuni Port, this 40-minute cruise takes you around Gome Island, Biyano Cape, and Takarajima. As the boat glides forward, the dramatic coastline unique to the Shakotan Peninsula unfolds, with towering cliffs and hidden coves that are sure to leave you in awe.
For an even closer look, head down to the underwater viewing room in the hull. Here, the crystalline sea world spreads out before your eyes. You can clearly see schools of fish darting through the azure water and seaweed swaying gently against the rocks. The sunlight filtering down from the surface creates a dreamlike, ethereal atmosphere. Accompanied by the fresh scent of the tide and the gentle rhythm of the waves, you will feel at one with the ocean.
On the return journey, seagulls gather and dance in the air behind the boat, their cries echoing across the water. Feeding these birds and watching them skillfully catch food in mid-air is a highlight that brings joy to both adults and children. This cruise offers a condensed experience of Shakotan’s best: the dynamic underwater scenery, the stunning cliffside views, and the incredible transparency of "Shakotan Blue."
