Shimanami Cruising (1 hour) with Lunch at SOFU cafe

Setouchi is dotted with countless islands of all sizes. The Japanese word “tatōbi” describes the beauty of a seascape of islands stretching into the distance. Hotel guests have access to a special private cruise experience offering a close-up view of the dynamic scenery of the Shimanami Islands.

After departing from Bella Vista Marina, our cruiser sails through the Onomichi Strait, a narrow channel of the Inland Sea separating the port town of Onomichi from Mukaishima on the opposite shore. From the deck of the boat, enjoy an intimate view of the three hills of Onomichi rising over the city. The cruiser weaves through the narrow waterways that are emblematic of the Seto Inland Sea and passes under the Innoshima Bridge between Mukaishima and Innoshima. Get a spectacular view of the Innoshima Bridge and the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea along the captain’s recommended route.

Complete your Setouchi experience with lunch at SOFU Pasta & cafe, our restaurant located in the Marina’s clubhouse. A perfect complement to a Bella Vista stay.
