Kuga Port Setouchi Cruise to observe sanderlings

The Seto Inland Sea off Suo Oshima is known as a habitat for sanderlings, and if your timing is good, you may see them during the 50-minute cruise from Kuga Port to Maejima and back. During the cruise, the captain of the boat will assist you in your search for the snapping turtles, so please enjoy the pleasant sea breeze as you watch for the snapping turtles that can only be seen on Suo-Oshima, located in the Seto Inland Sea.
