420代Month of posting: 2025/01Although the waves were a little high that day, the large cruiser did not sway at all and we were able to spend a comfortable time! The location of the whales was perfectly predicted, and we were able to see them many times. However, it was understandable that the tour was full, I think it is better to book early because it is a popular tour. Next time I will book early!

530代Month of posting: 2025/01It was convenient that I could book easily online. I received detailed communication prior to joining the tour, so I was able to arrive at the day of the tour with no worries. The boat was clean, safe, and comfortable. The guide gave us information about nature and sightseeing in Okinawa while we were on the way to the point, which made the tour more enjoyable besides whale watching. I would like to come back again!

540代Month of posting: 2024/12We departed on a specially-designed large cruiser and were comfortable in the spacious cabin. Our guide, a veteran captain, had a good grasp of the whale spotting points, and we were very excited when we actually encountered the whales! The 97% detection rate was understandable. We were so impressed by the power of the whales jumping right in front of us that the half day went by very quickly. I would definitely like to participate again next time.

530代Month of posting: 2024/02My family and I joined the tour. We had to make a reservation on short notice due to a change of plans the day before, but we were relieved to be able to book right away! It was our first time to see whales, but they were so big and powerful that it was a sight to behold☺. The kids were so excited and had a great time!
