Whale-watching tours of great powerHumpback whales are one of the largest mammals in the world, measuring 10 to 15 meters in length and weighing 30 tons.
They return to Okinawa every winter to breed. You can see them up close as they dive, tapping the surface of the sea with their long pectoral fins and gracefully displaying their large tail fins!
What are the advantages of northern outbound flights?
Originally, the Kerama Islands were famous for whale watching in Okinawa, but this whale watching tour is held in the waters around Iejima in the northern part of the island.
It is still a very rare spot and there are only a few boats, so it is very easy to see the whales.98% encounter rate.and a high encounter rate.
The ship departs from a port about 10 minutes by car from Churaumi Aquarium, a famous sightseeing spot in Okinawa, so it is easy to set up a sightseeing route such as whale watching in the morning and visiting the aquarium in the afternoon.
What kind of performance can we expect?
Because you will be watching whales in their natural habitat, the performances you will see will vary depending on the day you participate.
For example,Lift the tail fin high and swing it straight down, slamming it into the water.They slap their large tail fins, which are around 4 meters long, making a loud noise and a loud splash, and this action is one of the most exciting parts of whale watching.

The biggest concern about whale watching is seasickness. Even people who pride themselves on not getting sick can get seasick, depending on their physical condition!
Always 30 minutes before departureIt is recommended that you take anti-sickness medication to prevent sickness. Be careful not to board the ship after a night of sleep deprivation, hunger, or overeating, and try to see as much of the distant scenery as possible after boarding.
Also, please come dressed as warmly as possible. Even in Okinawa, it can get very cold out at sea.
If you are hot, you can simply take it off. Please be sure to bring a down jacket or other heavy jumper. - Reference Schedule
