When you disembark from the pier, you will find the terminal building. Our staff will be waiting for you at the counter (Oska Mintle sign) in the square in front of the Zamami Village Whale Watching Association inside. We will gather at the high-speed ferry berth at 10:20 and board the Oska Mintle. Whale watching will begin shortly after we depart at Ⅹ:30. For 1-day watching, you will have lunch on board while watching the whales. Please prepare your own lunch and drinks. Time to buy lunch in Zamami is tight, so it is better to buy it before boarding the "Queen Zamami" and before departing from Tomari Port in Naha. Humpback whales do not gather in groups, so they swim alone or in groups. The appeal of this tour is that you have many opportunities to see many whales on a 1-day boarding trip. Of course, you can also see many performances by the whales. The ship returns to Zamami Port at around 15:30, so if you are returning to Naha, please board the "Queen Zamami" departing from Zamami Port at 16:20. *Please note that the "Queen Zamami" is a separate charge, so please purchase your own ticket. We recommend purchasing a round trip ticket.
