Busena Marine Park
ブセナ海中公園
The undersea observation tower and glass-bottom boats at Busena Cape in Nago let you see coral reefs and tropical fish without getting wet, making it suitable for seniors and children.
The undersea observation tower is built about 170 meters offshore. Walk along a long bridge, then descend a spiral staircase to an observation room about 5 meters underwater, where porthole windows let you observe corals and tropical fish directly. Glass-bottom boats leave from the pier and take about 20 minutes, offering a wider view. The observation tower costs about 1,050 yen and the glass-bottom boat about 1,560 yen, and combo tickets are available. The park is open 9:00 to 18:00 (until 17:30 from November to March). It sits next to Bankoku Shinryōkan, the venue of the 2000 G8 Summit, and the Busena Terrace resort hotel, and it is about 20 minutes' drive from Manzamo. Glass-bottom boats are suspended when waves are high.
