I was lucky to have good weather when I went there. The whales were located far away. There was a special car to pick up and drop off the whales, and I was able to take pictures of the spray and tail. This journey was a very fresh experience.

The car picked up directly at the hotel. The whole arrangement was very smooth. The tour guide on the boat kept explaining the precautions, how to prevent seasickness, and arranged for everyone to go to the deck when the whales were found. You can sit in the front with children. The captain kept looking for whales. Seeing the whales breathe and jump out of the water, all the hard work was worth it. I was lucky to see it about 4 times. The tour guide also kept explaining, although few people could understand. On the way back, he also showed and explained specimens of several parts of the whale. It was very hard work, and the experience was first-class 👍You can also download photos for free, which are much better than taking them yourself!

Recommended! The whales, really good to see, will be introduced in Japanese throughout, so you will not understand, but their open grid boats are sailing very close, very spectacular!

A very good itinerary ~ We picked up and dropped off at the designated location on time in the morning. There were many participants. It was raining slightly in the morning, but we still saw whales smoothly.

The trip scheduled for the 29th was canceled by email on the afternoon of the 28th, and was rescheduled for the 2nd. The weather in Okinawa is unstable every day. It started raining early in the morning on the 2nd. I was worried that something would happen again. Good luck to those who love to laugh. It's not always bad. We found whales an hour after we went out to sea smoothly. There were two whales, and they went back and forth more than ten times to play in the sea. The female tour guide who took us out to sea said that this is rare. It is said that whales are seen. People will have a lucky year👍

I was lucky enough to see whales twice, and one of them was a parent-child whale, a large one and a small one. The wind is strong, so be sure to keep warm and protected from the wind. Leave the rest to the professional crew.
