Plan description

This winter-only, one-day whale swim tour departs Okinawa's main island aboard a cruise ship. From February 1st to March 10th, humpback whales migrate from Siberia to the warm waters of Okinawa for mating, birth, and raising their young. This tour is exclusively available to those with a diving, skin diving, free diving, or snorkeling license. Experience the majesty of nature with your own eyes as you witness these winter-only wild whales. Experience the wonder of nature firsthand! Whale Watching | The Best! Captain Kaito's impressive navigation skills guarantee close-up views of whales! ★100% encounter rate last year★ Small group tours ensure optimal whale viewing! 1. Depart a small-group cruiser with a capacity of 40 people for 360-degree whale viewing. Enjoy free movement throughout the boat, ensuring you find the perfect vantage point for whale observation. 2. Enjoy a relaxing time on a comfortable cruiser! We use a cruiser that is less affected by waves and rocks less. The boat also has spacious cabins and a second-floor deck with great views. 3. Enjoy the thrill of a whale-hunting adventure! Everyone searches for the whale's "blow" (a behavior in which a whale sprays water from above its head to breathe), a sign of a whale. When you find one, slowly approach the boat so as not to startle the whale. You can also see dynamic swimming actions such as "breaching" and "peck slap." The greatest attraction of whale swimming on Amami Oshima is the opportunity to observe whales up close.

Get up close to whales with the help of a veteran captain and a fisherman's intuition

With 25 years of experience and intuition, he is able to time his visits with whales, so whales often appear right next to the boat. Even on days when it's difficult to spot whales, the captain never gives up, and is a very service-oriented guy.

A cruise ship with a 360° view of whales

The cruise ship also has a second floor deck with a great view.

You'll be thrilled to meet the world's largest mammal!

The most attractive thing about whale swimming is that you can observe whales up close. It is a marine sport that can only be enjoyed in winter, where you can enjoy watching whales in the water!
