- Tour Introduction -
Humpback whales arrive in the warm waters of Okinawa from late December to early April to breed. Surrounded by rich coral reefs and schools of tropical fish, the waters around Zamami Island in Okinawa are the best breeding grounds for humpback whales in winter. Okinawa whale watching is a winter-exclusive activity. Large humpback whales can weigh about 30 tons and reach lengths of about 15 meters. Do not miss the chance to encounter the world's largest mammals this winter and capture a truly moving moment. Riding a high-speed boat, feeling the splashing waves and the vibration of the vessel, you will feel as one with the whales. You can admire the swimming movements of wild humpback whales up close from the boat and fully experience the charm of marine ecology. Free pick-up service is available from hotels in Naha for your convenience.
