    Meet the Giants of the Ocean 

    Get ready for the chance to encounter one of the largest mammals on Earth in the wild!

    During summer, humpback whales feed in the rich waters around the Aleutian Islands.


    When winter arrives, they migrate south to the warm, calm waters around Okinawa to breed.


    The waters around Zamami Island, approximately 40 km west of Naha, are surrounded by beautiful coral reefs and are one of the areas where these magnificent whales can be seen.

    Weighing up to approximately 30 tons and reaching around 15 meters in length, humpback whales are truly spectacular to watch.

    Keep your eyes on the horizon and join us as we search for these magnificent wild whales! 🐋

However, please be aware that we cannot offer the above options if any of the following conditions are met:

● Multiple passengers were able to spot a whale


Additionally, please note that if your schedule prevents you from utilizing either option (① or ②), the right to these options will be forfeited.
