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.
The spot is still a hidden spot and there are only a few boats, so it is very easy to see whales as there are only 3 to 4 boats.98% encounter rate.and a high encounter rate.
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.
Experience diving in some of the clearest waters
It is not as crowded as in the summer and offers a very private experience for winter-only tours.
The winter sea has less plankton and high transparency. You can enjoy the experience diving with many fish in the coral field!
Cold weather protection is also available!
Free hot showers available.The thickest winter wetsuits and equipment are of course available for free rental.

＜ Whale watching precautions
The biggest concern about whale watching is seasickness. Even people who pride themselves on not getting drunk 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.
Please dress 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

- Frequently asked questions about this plan
-
Q. What is the difference between the two?Can I always see whales?
Whales are wild animals. Although we do not always see them, we have maintained a minimum of 981 TP3T since 2010 and have achieved an encounter rate of 1001 TP3T in 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024.
Q. What is the difference between the two?What should I wear?Even in Okinawa, you will feel the cold in winter. It is especially cold at sea, so we recommend that you bring warm clothing. We also recommend that women wear jeans and other clothing that is easy to move in rather than skirts.
Please wear shoes with shallow heels, such as sneakers, as high heels are slippery and dangerous. Even if it rains a little, the boat will sail, so it would be convenient to bring a simple rain coat (we also have rental coats available). (We also have rental coats available).
Q. What is the difference between the two?Will I get wet on board?It is a large 40-passenger cruiser with a cabin and second deck, but depending on the wind and waves on the day of the cruise, your clothes may get wet from the spray. Please wear warm and waterproof clothes as much as possible.
Q. What is the difference between the two?I am pregnant.We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Your safety and physical condition are our priority, so we are unable to allow you to board the boat.
Q. What is the difference between the two?What happens on bad weather days?If it rains a little, we will sail. However, in the event of bad ocean conditions, heavy rain, thunderstorms, fog, etc., the safety of our guests is our top priority, so we may have to cancel the sailing.
In case of cancellation, we will contact you on your cell phone the day before the event or early in the morning on the day of the event.
Q. What is the difference between the two?Can I bring food and beverages on board the cruiser?Feel free to bring your own food and beverages. We also offer a hot beverage service before boarding.

540代Month of posting: 2024/01I participated in whale watching once a few years ago, This time I was lucky enough to see two whale breaches! The best part was the warmth of the captain and staff. I have been to Okinawa several times and participated in several tours, but this was the most heartfelt service I have ever felt.
