We are a whale watching ship "Oska Mintle" that can enjoy whale watching in the surrounding waters starting from Zamami Island in the Kerama Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. We are whale watching in the precious waters where wild whales live. We try to be cautious, moderate and gentle watching, so the whales will let go of their guard and come closer to us with interest. The blowing sound of whales that you hear up close is powerful. Watching on Zamami Island is based on strict watching rules, and whale sounders climb up to search stations on each mountain to find whales. We often leave the port after checking whale information around each island, so the encounter rate is almost 100%, and there is a high possibility that we will encounter whales immediately after leaving the port. If you get close to the whales, you can enjoy the longed-for whale watching as they approach the ship. Let's share with us the majestic and beautiful time that nature weaves ♫
Whale information is obtained from the whale-hunting point in the mountains, and the captain is notified of the weather, sea conditions, and where the whales are located, so the chances of encountering whales will definitely increase in a short time.
Since you can spend time with the whales for a long time, there is a high possibility that you will be able to watch many performances.
Because it is a breeding area, you can see whale heat runs (breeding behavior in which male whales compete for female whales) on a daily basis. In addition, since there are many births, it is designated as a sanctuary for mother and child whales, so you can watch parent and child whales in the inland sea. Baby whales are cute. Still, the size will be 700 kg at birth.
