What you can expect

Embark on a whale watching tour from Okinawa. Spot humpback whales in the warm waters of Okinawa and learn about these magnificent creatures from a veteran captain.

See humpback whales, one of the biggest mammals in the world, as they come to the warm waters of Okinawa’s Kerama islands to mate and give birth before continuing on their journey. Learn about these magnificent creatures with our audio guidance on your smartphone (in English, Spain, French, Thai, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin or Korean). Meet our Guide (speaking English, Spain, French, Thai, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin or Korean) at the port and board our boat.
