Plan introduction([Experienced Only] Blue Cave SUP tour)
Otaru’s blue caves are truly a mystical sight to see – a rare sighting in Japan as all the right natural conditions have to be met to cast a blue shade on the water.
This course will let you cruise through the blue caves on a standup paddleboard (SUP).
The course will take you through advanced areas so it’s recommended for participants with prior SUP experience.
If you’re a first time SUP participant but still keen to check out the blue caves, please take a look at the plans here.
This plan will allow you to check out sites that can only be accessed via a SUP.
This SUP tour will be accommodated by an experienced SUP guide who will provide thorough guidance.
Please consider a SUP tour in the blue caves during your next visit to Otaru!
