Okinawa in winter is a paradise for humpback whales!

Humpback whales spent the summer in the northern seas around the Aleutian Islands, feeding on an abundance of food.

In winter, they return to the waters around Zamami Island, surrounded by beautiful coral reefs about 40 km west of Naha City in Okinawa, a warm and quiet place with quiet waves, to breed.

Observe the unique behavior of humpback whales up close!

Behavior unique to humpback whales

◆Bleaching (jumping)
◆ tail slap
◆ Spout (spraying water from fumaroles)
◆Heading (face out of the water)
◆Group Actions

Frequently asked questions about this plan

Q. What is the difference between the two?Does the probability of detection differ depending on the time of day?

The probability of detection does not change depending on the time of day. You may be able to find it in the morning but not in the afternoon, and vice versa. Please decide the flight according to your schedule.

Q. What is the difference between the two?Is there a place to leave valuables and luggage?

There are no lockers at the meeting place, so please keep your valuables with you.

Q. What happens if it rains?

If it rains enough not to interfere with the operation of the vessel, the vessel will sail. Cancellation due to rain will incur a cancellation fee. In the event of severe weather or high waves, the tour will be cancelled. In case of cancellation, we will contact you the day before or on the day of the tour, and the tour will be rescheduled for another day or a refund will be made. Refunds will be made by bank transfer, but in the event of a cancellation due to weather conditions, bank transfer fees will be borne by the customer.

Q. Is there anything I need to prepare in advance?

A kappa, binoculars, and a towel are useful. The sea in winter in Okinawa can be windy and cold, so be sure to keep warm. The boat can be bumpy, so we recommend that you wear non-slip shoes such as sneakers.

Q. I am worried about getting seasick...

It is recommended to take anti-sickness medicine 30 minutes before boarding the boat. Looking into the distance, licking candy, and staying in a well-ventilated area seem to help prevent sickness.
