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.
Snorkeling in some of the clearest waters
It is not as crowded as in the summer and offers a very private experience.
The winter sea has less plankton and high transparency. You can enjoy snorkeling 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

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.

Percentage of review submissions]Total 9 items520代Submitted Month: 2025/04I participated in the whale watching and snorkeling tour and was impressed by the powerful performance of the whales! It was truly amazing to see the whales up close with their tail fins raised high and beating on the surface of the ocean, which is something you don't usually see. The snorkeling was great fun for the whole family, as we were able to see a lot of fish in the clear water. The guide was very supportive and made us feel at ease. The hot showers and hair dryers after returning to port were perfect for the cold weather. Highly recommended!
