What is the Okinawa Blue Cave?
Where is the Okinawa Blue Cave?
The Okinawa Blue Cave is a diving spot right in the middle of Okinawa's main island. Getting to Cape Maeda, where the Blue Cave is, is far easier by rental car! That said, in summer the queue to enter the parking lot can top an hour, so meeting on site at Cape Maeda was recently banned by local ordinance. We hope the people who live near the Blue Cave get their peaceful neighborhood back.
What makes the Okinawa Blue Cave so special?
The greatest appeal of the Blue Cave has to be that dreamlike blue that seems to wrap right around you. But the Okinawa Blue Cave isn't only about the cave. The waters around Cape Maeda are home to all kinds of colorful little fish, including the clownfish that inspired Finding Nemo. And the blue of the Blue Cave looks completely different depending on the time of day, which is why so many people come back to snorkel or dive again and again!
Why is the Okinawa Blue Cave blue?
Of all the caves in Okinawa, only the Blue Cave glows blue! The secret lies in the color of its limestone seabed, the sunlight, and the remarkable clarity of the water. So many conditions had to line up for nature to create the Blue Cave. Knowing about this small miracle makes diving and snorkeling at the Blue Cave even more fun♪
What makes Kai・la special
All you need is a swimsuit!
Enjoy the Blue Cave with zero fuss.

The passion behind Kai・la at the Blue Cave!
So that everyone who joins a tour run by Blue Cave specialists Kai・la can always take part with complete peace of mind, we're committed to training without ever letting up.
For many people, the Blue Cave becomes a memory that lasts a lifetime. For first-timers especially, it stays with them as something fresh and special. Precisely because it's a Blue Cave tour worth recommending, our staff look after every guest kindly and carefully, picturing what it would be like to bring their own family, partner or parents along. That's exactly why we think you can visit us with confidence.
We also have absolute confidence in our staff, and we're proud to say that anyone can have a great time with us. Please come and enjoy the Blue Cave tour we're so proud of! Same-day bookings for Blue Cave tours are welcome!! We're more than happy to take them — if we have space we can book you in any time, so don't hesitate to get in touch!
Our staff policy
We believe that when the staff are good, your memories of the sea are all the more enjoyable. We think the same goes for our parasailing menu.
The fact is that two people can go on the same Blue Cave tour and one comes back saying it was amazing while the other doesn't. That difference comes down to the Blue Cave shop, and to the staff member looking after you. The many reviews and kind words we receive come down to the character of the staff who guide you to the Blue Cave.
Here at Kai・la, we take our guests out to sea guided by the following staff policy!
Be gentlemanly!
Marine shop staff can easily come across as flippant or frivolous. Starting with the way we speak, we make a point of treating every guest courteously.
Enjoy it ourselves!
Your safety goes without saying — our staff genuinely love the sea themselves! We believe that when we enjoy it alongside you, you'll have a wonderful time too. We want to enjoy the Blue Cave together with you.
Be grateful!
We're deeply grateful that you chose Paradise Miyakojima out of the precious, limited time of your Okinawa trip, and we do our very best to send you home with the finest memories.
Introducing our column!

Kai・la at the Okinawa Blue Cave writes this column, and we hope it helps with more than just the Blue Cave — with travel, sightseeing and food as well.
