hi! i'm on ishigaki for 3 days and hoping to do a snorkeling trip for one of the days. it's on my bucketlist to see manta rays but i'm in communication with a japanese comapny who say it's hard to guaranteed this time of year and from other posts and reviews, seems liek theres not much else to see at that spot if there are no mantas. i've heard good things about phantom island and the corals ar iriomote/ishigaki NP snorkeling and wondering if peolpe suggest one over the other – i probably only have time to choose one. also is taketomi half day trip worth it or should i try to go to iriomote (won't have a car on iriomote) ? Thank you in advance!!!
