子供とホエールウォッチングに参加しました。ホテルの方も99.9%遭遇できるよ、できなければかなり運が悪いと聞いていたのでドキドキしながら参加したのですが無事出会うことができました！送迎でのお話や、くじらのお話を聞いたりスタンプラリーをしたり写真を撮っていただいてデータをいただいたり、子供は終始楽しめたようです。クジラの本を忘れてしまってホテルの近くまで持ってきていただきありがとうございました。

人がたくさんいると落ち着かないので、少人数乗り合いに惹かれてこちらで申し込みました。 たまたま、乗り合いのお客さんがいなくて貸切状態でした。 小学生の子供達もデッキに出たり、上に登ったり。ポイントまでの移動中も、YouTubeを観たり楽しく過ごしていました。 スタッフの方も優しく、くじらも五回くらい見れて大満足です。上手く写真が撮れなかったのですが、スタッフさんがカメラで撮った写真と動画をその場でスマホに入れてくれました！ 三世帯での利用でしたが、本当に素敵な思い出ができました。全員大満足です！ ありがとうございました！

"Private whale watching departing from Fisherina in Chatan! A half-day charter plan to search for humpback whales that visit in winter." Every winter, humpback whales return to Okinawa to breed, which is the most exciting season in Okinawa's ocean! Let's go looking for whales while looking at the beautiful Okinawa coast on the fully chartered comfortable boat "Haisai". In summer, they travel long distances to the Bering Sea, which is their feeding ground, and in winter, they travel long distances to the coastal waters of Okinawa to raise their young and breed. Humpback whales are one of the largest mammals in the world, with a total length of 10 to 15 meters and a weight of 30 tons. You will be fascinated by the performances of the whales, such as blowing (spouting) when their huge bodies appear on the surface of the sea and blow up a lot of spray, diving with their tails raised high, and jumping called breaching. Sometimes you can see their charming gestures of flapping their fins and tails in the air and splashing on the water surface. If you're lucky, you may have the chance to see a baby whale being brought along by its mother, or the dynamic spectacle of a male whale repeatedly breaching for courtship, known as a "heat run."
Fun half day trip go watching whale shark with small group up to 5 people! Really nice guild who share the day with us! Fortunately we were able to find them during the trip!
