Inari Maru Fishing Boat Sightseeing Cruise - Experience the "Sea of Izu" in 40 minutes!
The best way to experience the sea of Inatori at its best is to board a fishing boat. The Inari Maru's fishing boat sightseeing cruise condenses the highlights in about 40 minutes. The sea breeze, the sound of the engine, and the cliffs and reefs that approach before your eyes will give you a thrill and excitement that is different from that of a sightseeing boat. This is the perfect "sea activity" for a family vacation or a trip for three generations.
Highlights
- Immediately after setting sail, you will be able to see the "cliff stones" at close range from the sea. The dynamic shape carved by the sea erosion is breathtaking.
- Continue around Cape Inatori and enjoy a panoramic view of the horizon of Sagaminada Sea and the hotels standing in the forest on the south side of the cape. The colors of the sea and sky, which change with the seasons, are not to be missed.
- You may even spot wild birds and migratory fish. If the sea conditions are good, photo opportunities will come one after another.
