"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."
