Swim with majestic whales! Experience the thrilling and moving "whale swim." Since this is snorkeling, not diving, you can fly the same day after participating! We are a company with a proven track record of hosting whale swims every year. Not only do we ensure safety and security, but we also have a high rate of whale encounters! <What is a whale swim?> This is an activity where you snorkel to observe whale behavior from the surface. Unlike dolphin swims, whale swims do not allow you to chase or dive. You can quietly observe the whales' behavior from the surface, following the captain and guide's signals so as not to interfere with their movement. ~Experience Schedule~ 6:30-7:00: Pick-up and arrival at the port. Pick-up and drop-off within Naha City only. 7:15: Briefing: Explanation of how to use the boat, introduction of staff, whale swim procedures, and precautions. 7:30: Departure and whale search. Now it's time to begin searching for whales. Once you spot a whale, you'll observe its condition and then start whale swimming after determining whether it's possible! 11:00-12:00 Lunch *It depends on the whale, so there is no set time. We recommend sandwiches that you can eat or stop eating at any time, or easy-to-eat jelly-like foods that will give you nutrition. 14:00- Shower, return to port. Thank you for your hard work. Take a shower, change clothes and return to the port. 15:00- Thank you for the transfer to the hotel. We look forward to seeing you again. *Pick-up available only within Naha city
Free boat coat rental! Hot showers on board!
Since we're dealing with nature, I'm not sure if the photos and videos will necessarily be good, but I'll do my best to present the best photos and videos of the day!
Not only is safety and security guaranteed, but the chances of swimming with whales are also high!

| Matters require attention | Chasing or diving is not permitted during whale swimming. Generally, you will observe the whales from the surface to avoid startling them. First, once you spot a whale, you will observe from the boat to see if it is possible to swim with it. Because conditions vary depending on the ocean and the individual whale, the captain and guide will make the decision on whether to attempt it. This course is only available to licensed diving participants, and diving tanks are not used. This is a snorkel swim. Do not approach the whale from behind, as its tail is dangerous. Do not chase the calf. We recommend wearing straps for any items that may sink into the water, such as cameras. Due to the depth of the water, it is not possible to retrieve lost items. Reservations are accepted from licensed diving participants, but as you will be swimming in rough waters, we ask that those without confidence refrain from participating. The course period also coincides with peak whale watching season. You will not be able to swim with whales being watched by other whale watching boats. If no whales are found that look like they can swim, we may observe from the boat with other whale watching boats. |
|---|---|
| Other notifications | *Even if the whale passes by completely, you can try again as long as you don't startle it, which increases your chances of seeing it up close. On the other hand, if one guest disregards the rules, the whale may become more wary. As a result, all participants may not be able to see it. Guests who do not follow the guide's instructions will be prohibited from entering the water, even during the course. *Depending on sea conditions, if we are unable to find the whale, the tour may end without being able to jump into the sea. Please note that there will be no refunds in these cases. Please understand that this is a tour involving the sea and wild whales. |
Plan attractions
You might even be able to see whales right in front of you! Read the direction the whale is heading and wait patiently on the surface. If you're lucky, you might even see a whale swimming right in front of you!
You can also enjoy whale watching! You can also go whale watching by searching for whales and observing their movements before going for a whale swim!
High chance of encountering whales! This period from February to March is the best time to go whale swimming, as humpback whales that live in Siberian waters return to Okinawa's waters for breeding season.
A page in your life's memories! The excitement and thrill of encountering one can only be understood by those who have experienced it. I hope you will experience this excitement and thrill at least once!
An experience that only a limited number of people can have! Participation is limited to those with a scuba diving license, so if you have one, please give it a try!
