Mikurajima Island
★★★★☆
(151)
More than 200 wild dolphins live around Mikurajima. You can swim with them by skin diving only; no scuba diving is allowed. There are two ways to swim with the dolphins here. The first way is you can land on Mikurajima and approach the dolphins in a small boat.
This is one of the best spots to swim with wild dolphins in Japan, however, sightings are not guaranteed. The dolphins on the island are individually identified and strictly protected and cannot be touched.
