More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a low-profile skiff into Miyako Blue — water so clear it reads like glass until fins disturb it. Small groups step over a reef crest and float above branching corals where clownfish dart and green sea turtles lift slow heads, as if checking on passing guests. A guide times the stops; a drone arcs overhead to capture portraits of the group against the reef.
