Kerama blue that fascinates the world

The waters of Kerama, commonly called "Kerama blue," are known for their clarity.

The beauty of the water, which is so clear that you can see dozens of meters ahead of you and glistening in the sunlight, is truly spectacular.

Many tourists from all over the world visit the island every year, fascinated by the Keramas blue waters.

 

A sanctuary for marine activities

There are more than 100 spots in Kerama where you can enjoy marine activities.

It is especially famous for its diving, and is so rich in dive sites that it is safe to say that it has everything a diver in the world could wish for.

The high transparency of the Kerama Blue Sea allows visitors to clearly see the undersea scenery, including coral reefs and the tropical fish that live there.

It is also famous as a place where you can meet sea turtles, and if you are lucky, you can even swim with them.

The waters of Kerama could not be more perfect for diving, snorkeling, and other marine activities.

It can truly be said that Kerama is a mecca for marine activities.

 

Magnificent Nature

There is still much untouched nature in Kerama.

The abundance of coral and fish is of course wonderful, but it is also a breeding area for humpback whales, so whale watching can be enjoyed in the winter.
In recognition of such beautiful sea, plants, and diverse ecosystems of Kerama, it was designated as the 31st national park in Japan on March 5, 2014 (Coral Day).

The beauty of this magnificent wilderness, with its endless expanse of white sandy beaches and Keramas blue ocean, will blow away the fatigue and stress of everyday life.

 

Attraction of Kerama Blue

The charm of the Kerama Sea, also known as Kerama Blue, is its beauty.

The clear waters sparkle in the sunlight, and coral and tropical fish are clearly visible even from the surface.
Also, each spot in the Kerama Islands has a different look and feel, so it is recommended that you visit different places to see for yourself.

 

Enjoy marine sports that will make you feel exhilarated!

Marine sports are essential to the ocean.

A number of marine sports can be experienced in Kerama.

Here we will introduce some of the marine sports that can be enjoyed in Kerama.

 

Attraction of Marine Sports

What is the attraction of marine sports?

Here are three attractions.

 

Exhilaration of running through the sea

Jet skis, one of the marine sports, for example, run through the ocean at considerable speed.

The exhilaration at that moment is beyond compare.

The spray of the water on the body, which has been burned by the heat of the sun, and its coolness is also pleasant.

 

Enjoyable for both children and adults.

Marine sports are now available for people of all ages.

In particular, kayaking, parasailing, and snorkeling are disciplines that can be enjoyed by children as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

I think it will be a very good experience for children if they can travel to Kerama with their families and do marine sports together.

The thrill is irresistible.

One of the most attractive aspects of marine sports is the thrill of the sport.

Speeding across the surface of the ocean or soaring high into the sky to admire the scenery, you will experience something extraordinary that you would never normally have the chance to experience.

Such an experience will thrill and uplift you.

 

Exhilarating marine sports

If the play is related to the bright blue sea, you want to experience the exhilaration.

Here are some of the most exhilarating marine sports.

 

banana boat

Banana boats, as the name suggests, are rubber boats shaped like bananas.

You have probably seen them in the ocean.

In fact, banana boating is one of the great marine sports.

 

Fun & Attraction

Banana boats do not go forward on their own, but are pulled by jet skis or motorboats.

Both of these rides are quite fast, so it is a thrilling and exhilarating experience.

Also, unlike other rides, banana boats can be ridden by a large group of four to six people.

Why not take a banana boat ride through the waters of Kerama with your family or friends?

 

jet ski

Jet skis are officially called "water motorcycles.

As the name of the motorcycle suggests, a special small-sized license is required to drive it, so if you want to drive it, get a license first before trying.

 

Fun & Attraction

You may think that jet skis are difficult for beginners, but that is not true.

There are two types of jet skis: single, which is ridden standing, and tandem, which is ridden seated.

And ocean touring on jet skis is the best marine activity.

There are no roads or traffic signals, so you can drive as much as you like, within the bounds of good manners.

There is also a wide variety of ways to play, such as attaching a boat to a jet ski and pulling it, or enjoying freestyle jet skiing.

 

parasailing

Parasailing is an activity in which participants carry a parachute on their backs and are pulled high above the sea by a motorboat or other vehicle.

The sight of it flying in the sky reminds one of flying a kite.

In Kerama, you can also enjoy parasailing.

 

Fun & Attraction

Because parasailing floats high in the sky, you can see a different view of the Kerama Islands than you can on the ground.

Above all, it is a rare opportunity to have a panoramic view of the beautiful Keramas blue ocean, so it will be a valuable experience.

Parasailing is also a great activity for families, as children can participate.

We hope you will try it with your family.

 

fly-boat

Flyboarding is an activity that was just created in France in 2012.

The rider rides on a board and is propelled high into the air by the force of the seawater coming out of the nozzle attached to the jet ski's drainage ditch.

Although the sport is not yet widespread in Japan, it is already quite popular overseas, and even competitions are held.

 

Fun & Attraction

One could say that the appeal of flyboarding is the exhilarating feeling of floating through the air.

Using water pressure, it floats up to a maximum height of 9 meters.

If you enjoy walking in the air as it is, you will feel a strange and indescribable sense of exhilaration.

In addition, this activity can be enjoyed on sunny days, but also on rainy days.

If the weather prevents you from doing other activities, you may enjoy flyboarding instead.
