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, bleaching, aYou will see a performance in which the body is lifted above the water into the air, the pectoral fins sticking out to the sides, while the body rotates in mid-air and falls back into the water!
It is often done to remove fish and debris from the body. This is the best part of whale watching and the biggest show.
*Since the start of whale watching in 2010, the encounter rate has been maintained at 981 TP3T or higher, and in 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024.Achieved 1001 TP3T in encounters.I did.

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.

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).

Percentage of review submissions]Total 6 items520代Month of posting: 2024/01We were informed that a father and calf whale had been spotted rather soon after leaving the port, and we moved at a high speed. We were able to see them at close range immediately! They gave us a great service and showed us the breeches over and over again, which we had been told were rare before departure. The captain's light-hearted explanations were a lot of fun, and we had a lot of laughs. The staff was always smiling and friendly, and they were very helpful in giving us information about the timing and where to find the breeches, which is not easy for an amateur diver to understand! We were more satisfied than we could have imagined! Thank you very much!

530代Month of posting: 2024/01My child and I joined the tour to see whales, which we had longed to do. I was excited with anticipation, but also a little anxious about whether we would be able to see the whales safely. On the day of the tour, we were blessed with clear skies. We couldn't see any whales for a while after the tour started. After some trial and error, we finally met the whales. The overjoyed child was so excited that he and the other participants joined in the fun! It was a great experience to see not only a glimpse of them from the surface of the sea, but also to see them jump. I hope to come back with them when they are older. Thank you for the fun memories!
