Next Season’s Blue Cave Area Cruise

We would like to thank you for always choosing Salt Valley 408.
Time flies, and the year is almost over.
We are truly grateful to all of our customers who have joined us for cruises this year.
 
we would like to share information about next season’s cruise operations and reservation period.

About Next Season’s Blue Cave Cruise

 
After carefully considering safety and sea conditions,
next season we will not be entering the interior of the Blue Cave, and the cruise will be offered as a “sightseeing cruise” around the cave area.
 
We understand that some guests may be disappointed about not entering the cave,
but at Salt Valley 408, we always prioritize safety above all else in our operations.
We appreciate your understanding.

The Charm of the Blue Cave Area Cruise

 
Although it was not possible to enter the interior of the cave from late July onward,
the waters around Shioya were extremely clear, and many guests enjoyed the sightseeing cruise.
 
During the cruise, you can experience:
 

• ・Beautiful scenery created by the clear waters and rocky coastline
• ・Unique rock formations and cliffs shaped by nature
• ・Coastal highlights introduced from the guide’s unique perspective

 
These are just some of the attractions of Shioya’s sea that can be enjoyed even without entering the cave.
 
Many guests have commented:

“The sea was even more beautiful than I imagined.”

“The sightseeing cruise alone was more than enough to enjoy.”
 
These remarks show the stunning scenery and sense of immersion that can only be experienced by boat.

Experience the Shioya Sea from a Sightseeing Cruise

 
By cruising around the area instead of focusing on entering the cave interior, you can enjoy:
 

• ・The clear blue waters that change their appearance depending on the sunlight
• ・The dynamic contrast between rocks and the sea
• ・A refreshing cruising experience while feeling the sea breeze

 
These experiences can be enjoyed safely and comfortably.
The cruise is also recommended for first-time participants and families with young children.

Reservation Period for Next Season

 
The reservation period for next season’s cruises is scheduled from April 20 to September 30, 2026.
Since some dates can become fully booked during the season, we recommend making your reservation early if you are considering joining us.
