遊覽船主要航行在英虞灣內，這裡的水質能夠培育出很棒的珍珠，途中會停在珍珠工廠參觀製作流程，還蠻特別的體驗。

The cruise boat departs from Kashikojima and cruises around Ago Bay for about 35 minutes, visits a pearl model factory, and returns to Kashikojima Port. The entire tour will take about 50 minutes.
The cruise boat “Esperanza” is a three-masted sailing ship modeled after a ship used during the Spanish Age of Discovery, featuring a nice observation deck. Drinks are served on the second floor of the ship, and a special lounge, "Isabella," is available for a more luxurious cruise (additional fee).
Participants can observe inserting a nucleus in Akoya shells to culture a pearl in the Pearl Model Factory tour. A nucleus and mantle are placed in an oyster and the mantle forms a layer of nacre around the nucleus and eventually makes a hard pearl. This method of culturing pearls is known as Akoya pearl farming, which was invented by Kokichi Mikimoto and others more than 100 years ago. Similar methods are now used for pearl farming all over the world.
Nuclei insertion usually takes place from May to June, but the Pearl Model Factory is open for tours all year round.
