Plan description

This is a whale watching tour where you can meet the Bryde's whales and dolphins that live in Tosa Bay with an active fisherman and a guide who loves Kuroshio Town! ~ Flow of the day before and on the day ~ ◆ The day before departure Be sure to check the "departure information" at the top of the homepage at 17:00 on the day before departure to see if there is a departure or not! ◆Meeting/reception Meet at the Irino Fishing Port Whale Watching Center 30 minutes before boarding time! All passengers will be required to wear a mask and disinfect their hands when entering the whale watching center. The representative will be asked to fill in the "boarding list". *"Irino Fishing Village Center" is written on the outer wall. The first floor is the whale watching center. Please fill out the boarding list! ◆ Lecture before the experience We will talk about the cautions when boarding the boat and the whales that can be seen off the coast of Kuroshio Town. ◆Departure! To the world of the 360-degree horizon! Many cetaceans such as Bryde's whales and common dolphins inhabit Tosa Bay. It is a very natural sea where you can meet fish such as seabirds and flying fish, and even sea turtles if you are lucky. What you can meet depends on the day! Let's search together 360 degrees around the ship with the captain, guide, and guests on the same ship♪ ◆Discovery・Observation of cetaceans and sea creatures A once-in-a-lifetime encounter. I change the maneuvering method according to the character and atmosphere of the cetaceans I meet. ◆Returning to the port/dissolution Returning to the port with a feeling of farewell to the cetaceans and the comfort of spending time on the sea. If you do not see any whales or dolphins, we do not offer refunds. We will give you a "fun ticket (discount ticket)" that you can use the next time you come! [Notes] ●The final decision on departure will be made by 17:00 on the day before departure. After 17:00, we will inform you of the departure status on the top "Departure Information" of the official website, so please be sure to check it. ● Depending on the weather and sea conditions, the cruise may be canceled or returned to port on the morning of the day. ●Even if it is sunny, if the waves are high, the cruise may be cancelled. Please note. ●The captain and all the staff are working hard to provide all customers with an enjoyable boat trip and an exciting encounter with whales, but there are days when we cannot meet them because we are dealing with wild animals. Please apply after understanding and acknowledging. ●Minimum number of participants is 4 adults. [Others] *The deadline for cancellation is 13:00 the day before boarding. A cancellation fee will be charged from 13:00 on the day before boarding to the same day or without contact. (Boarding fee 100%) * Please be sure to wear a life jacket while on board. * Promptly follow the captain's instructions (this will also help prevent accidents and troubles). Do not throw it into the sea. Creatures eat them by mistake. * You may experience waves on board. Please be careful not to get your electronic equipment wet. In case of failure, click here

Sea creatures you can meet in Tosa Bay

You can meet dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, etc., as well as Bryde's whales called "Ladies of the Sea"!

Encounter rate because the captain is a fisherman!

The encounter rate for encountering whales and dolphins is 70-80%. Talk wirelessly with fellow fishermen out to find places to find or likely to find cetaceans! The masculine captains persistently search for "I want to meet you!". There are days when it will be extended, so please allow plenty of time for future plans.

Whale watching boats are fishing boats!

Capacity 12 people. There aren't many problems that people's heads don't look like! All ships have Western-style toilets (because it is a ship, it is a little small so that you can fix your body) There are benches and sunshade tarps
