Fit, water-confident travellers on a call of eight hours or more who want sea turtles and a cave in one day.
You meet at the Shigira Beach and Pumpkin Cave car parks, not at the ship, and Miyakojima has no usable public transport to the beaches, so a taxi or charter has to be booked before you sail. The listing advises against it for travellers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, and the cave involves climbing.

Before you book
Is the Okinawa Miyako Day Trip Sea Turtle Snorkel and Pumpkin Cave worth it from the Miyakojima cruise port?
A six-hour guided day on and under Miyakojima: snorkelling with sea turtles at Shigira Beach, then caving at the Pumpkin Cave with canoe access, with the guide's waterproof-camera photo files handed over free. Best for: Fit, water-confident travellers on a call of eight hours or more who want sea turtles and a cave in one day.
How long a port call do I need for this tour?
About 8 hours. The tour runs 6 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. Six hours plus the 90 minutes before all-aboard is 7.5 hours, rounded to 8; the listing gives no travel time from the berth to Shigira Beach, so the transfer comes on top.
Can I cancel if my ship skips the port?
The operator's policy: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. The operator may cancel for bad weather, with a refund.
What should I know before booking?
