About Blue Cave Okinawa Snorkeling

A guide for your time in the blue

Blue Cave Okinawa Snorkeling is an independent guide for everyone planning to snorkel or dive at the Blue Cave of Cape Maeda. Here you will find how the tours differ, whether to swim in from the stairs or come by boat, what a try dive involves, how to get to the cape, what the flags and closures mean, where else to snorkel on Okinawa and in the Kerama Islands, and how the sea changes through the year.

The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: the Cape Maeda facility for its rules and opening hours, the Okinawa Convention & Visitors Bureau, Okinawa Prefecture, its police and the Japan Coast Guard for safety and accidents, the Ministry of the Environment for the Kerama Islands, PADI and Divers Alert Network for diving, and the Japan Meteorological Agency for the climate and the sea temperature. Information on tours, that is duration, inclusions and prices, comes from the respective listings on GetYourGuide.

Nobody can promise calm water or an open cave on a given day, and listings differ in where they start, whether they use a boat and whom they accept. That is why we tell you plainly what a listing states and what it leaves open.

How we make money

Blue Cave Okinawa Snorkeling is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
