Reviews
We loved this experience! We were very lucky with the weather the ocean was calm and pleasant. The island was beautiful, and we could swim freely or join extra activities such as snorkeling or the glass-bottom boat (these need to be selected on Klook in advance). We only chose the island option, and the two hours went by very quickly with lunch and time to explore the beach. The guide was extremely kind, and everything was well explained. Finding the whales wasn’t easy, but our captain and guide were patient, and we finally spotted them at the end! It was an amazing and unforgettable experience.
absolutely no words if you’re coming to Naha you have to do this tour. it’s a must! the guide was so informative and also they put in a little more effort to watch the whale for a little longer.
The staff is very attentive. They offer motion sickness medication for 500 yen at the pickup point. The boat is comfortable, and the experience is impressive.
Originally I just wanted to watch whales, but this group can go to Tokashiki Island for a small amount, and lunch is included (although it is just a simple curry rice). Tokashiki Island is super beautiful, and the beach is really clear and sandy! What a treat these two hours were! The only shortcoming of this group is that there is no direct public transportation to the gathering pier. I have to walk from my hotel for more than 20 minutes to get there. However, there are some scenic spots along the way: such as Boshang Palace, Confucius Temple, etc.
So happy, saw so many whales! The weather is also great! We also went to the island, and the glass sea was much prettier than the main island... Although I got seasick (or maybe I hated the smell of diesel engines and felt a little like it🤮), it was so worth it! The young staff on the boat are very concerned about people who are feeling unwell. After arriving on the island, the tour guide will drive them directly to the beach.
It was very well organized and orderly. You can buy motion sickness medication at a drugstore; I bought "Shiroi Usagi" (White Rabbit) motion sickness pills, which come in packs of 4, 6, and 10. Take them half an hour in advance. If you want to photograph whales, I recommend sitting at the front and standing at the bow of the boat; otherwise, you'll mostly be taking pictures of people's heads from the sides or back. We didn't see any large whales, just a small one, which was quite cute and surfaced several times. I imagine with so many people watching it, it must have felt a bit overwhelmed.
The tour was fun. However, there are many shops in the waiting area, and I didn't know where I was, and even if I said my name, I wasn't registered ... I was told that there was a vacancy. I made a reservation. I wanted you to tell me the shop name and contact information.
amazing trip! We could easily to see whales many times. The weather was good , we took lots of good pictures on the boat while waiting wales showing up.
It was just incredible! Seeing a whale is a great luck! We saw a whale and a baby whale several times))) it was a double luck!!! The captain is great, we changed course several times in pursuit of whales and we managed to see them several times))) thank you very much!!!
Honestly incredible! The Aharen Beach experience was the highlight of my time in Okinawa! I highly recommend walking to the observatory, because that was the best view I've ever seen! Definitely buy seasick medicine when you check in with the guide at the port -- it was really necessary, even on a day with calm seas! Saw many whales and it was really cute! Definitely do this tour!
