What to expect

A whale watching tour in Okinawa is an unmissable, spectacular winter experience! Every year from December to April, humpback whales visit the Kerama Islands waters of Okinawa to find food, mate, and raise their calves. During this period, the number of humpback whales in the Kerama waters can reach 300 to 500, and more than a thousand whales have been identified. This area has become their gathering place, hence a high whale sighting success rate of 98%! **[Departing from Naha]** ★ Using a more stable, large catamaran compared to traditional speedboats ★ Free download of whale watching guide ★ Free download of the day's event photos and stunning whale photos taken in the past ★ Free round-trip transportation from designated locations in Naha city ★ Whale watching guarantee period: 2/1/2026-3/19/2026 ★ In addition to the basic plan, a "motion sickness prevention plan" including anti-nausea wristbands, glasses, and raincoats is also available. **[Departing from Chatan]** ★ Located near American Village ★ Wha
