Whale Watching in Okinawa
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. I'm worried about getting seasick.
Yes, it is okay! We recommend that you take a tour using a large ship that is resistant to turbulence, or a plan departing from Ginowan. The trick is to take anti-sickness medicine in advance and sit in the back center of the boat, where there is less swaying.
Q. What happens if I don't see the whales?

The encounter rate for NAWA tours is very high, but many stores offer a "full money-back guarantee" or a "free retry ticket" in case you do not encounter the fish. It is a good idea to check the details of the guarantee when you make your reservation♪

Q. What should I be careful to wear and bring on the day of the event?

It is windier and colder at sea than on land, so a warm and waterproof jacket is essential! Sneakers are best, not heels, as feet are slippery. Don't forget to prepare your camera and phone for dropping or getting wet◎.

Q. Will the tours be held on rainy days?

Even if it is raining, the tour will be held as long as the waves are calm! Whales come to the surface to catch their breath, so rainy weather does not significantly affect the encounter rate. However, if the waves are high, the tour may be cancelled, so please check the operation status on the day of the tour.

Q. What are the chances of seeing baby whales?
The rope is a "birthing and rearing" area for humpback whales, so there is a very good chance of encountering a parent and calf whale around February to March! You may see a smiling mother whale swimming close to her calf, or a baby whale practicing its jumps with great effort☆.
