See the undersea world from a glass-bottom boat

Since swimming is prohibited in Kabira Bay, glass-bottom boats are the best way to see corals, tropical fish and the beautiful sea. From the glass floor of the boat, you can get a close look into the sea where around 250 species of coral as well as tropical fish and sea turtles live. The sea shows its various facets in accordance with the time of day and natural conditions such as the weather and the rise and fall of the tide, and the boat crew will guide you to the recommended point at the time and explain the names of colorful tropical fish and coral.

World's first successful cultivation of black butterfly pearls in Kabira Bay

Natural black butterfly pearls are said to be extremely rare, found in just one out of 400,000 shells. Kabira Bay on Ishigaki Island was the first in the world to successfully cultivate this very precious pearl. Compared to other pearls, black butterfly pearls are mixed with various colors, and the colors even change depending on the angle. It is truly a work of art created by Kabira Bay.
