A whale watching tour in Okinawa is a wonderful experience not to be missed in winter! From December to April each year, humpback whales visit the Kerama Islands waters of Okinawa to find food, mate, and breed their calves. During this period, the number of humpback whales in the Kerama waters can reach 300 to 500, and more than a thousand humpback whales have been identified. This area has therefore become their gathering place, so the success rate of whale watching is as high as 98%! **[Naha Departure (Japanese)]** ★ Whale watching guarantee period: 2026/2/1-2026/3/15 ★ Compared with traditional speedboats, a more stable large catamaran is used ★ Free download of whale commentary manual ★ Free download of activity photos of the day and wonderful whale photos taken in the past ★ Free round-trip pick-up and drop-off at designated locations in Naha city ★ In addition to the basic plan, a "motion sickness prevention plan" including anti-motion sickness bracelets, glasses, and raincoats is also available **[N
