We were able to relax and enjoy the calm sea at Abaren Beach. We were able to see whales many times, a truly moving moment. It was an experience because it was winter in Okinawa. The set plan is full of value for money and we had a very satisfying day with our parents and children. If you want to participate, I recommend booking early and avoiding a full house!
