Plan description

Swim with humpback whales in the beautiful winter waters of Okinawa's Kerama Islands! Whales come here every year from December to April to breed and raise their young. You can observe their graceful swimming and interactions with their young up close, and sometimes you can even hear the whales singing! Why not experience a special moment where you can connect with the whales?

High probability of encounter!

From the boat, the staff will check for whale movements and communicate with the captains of other boats to work together to search for the whales!

A small group experience

A small group tour allows you to observe and photograph whales!

A privilege reserved only for those who hold diving, skin diving, and free diving qualifications.

Only license holders can participate, so this is your chance to use the license you worked so hard to get!!
