Departing from Motobu Town in northern Okinawa! 10 minutes from Churaumi Aquarium! Small group tour. Two departures a day from Toguchi Port in Motobu Town. Veteran staff who love whales will guide you to see whales in the north! Free pick-up from some designated hotels in Motobu Town and Nago City! (However, this is only for those who do not have transportation such as rental cars) The average encounter rate is an amazing 98%! If you do not see cetaceans (whales or dolphins), you will be issued a re-attempt right valid for one year (However, if you are able to see blows even if you are alone or if you are unable to see them due to your own circumstances, you will not be issued a re-attempt right) ★ Dogs (pet dogs) are allowed on board the boat.
Humpback whales will return to Okinawa from December to April. The area around Motobu Peninsula is a super secret whale watching area. Humpback whales are whales that migrate thousands of kilometers north and south of the earth, and can reach up to 15 meters. The curious humpback whale may even approach the boat on its own! Once you see it, you will never forget it! Let's experience the excitement together!
Two flights a day depart from Toguchi Port in Motobu Town. After-sales activities such as Nakijin Castle, Nago Pine Garden, and Kouri Island sightseeing, graduation trips, and family participation are also recommended!
Motobu Town and some designated hotels in Nago will be picked up free of charge. Please contact us when making a reservation.
