Product Info

【Natural Waters Where You Can Meet Wild Dolphins】 The dolphin watching reservation center is located in Itsuwa-machi, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, a place with a long history. The waters off Itsuwa-machi are one of the few places in the world where wild bottlenose dolphins reside year-round (estimated at about 300 individuals). You have a high chance of spotting dolphins shortly after departure. *Note: Dolphins are wild animals. Activity and the tour experience depend on the sea conditions of the day; a 100% sighting rate cannot be guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.

【Clear Sea Views and Relaxing Boat Cruise】 Itsuwa-machi is famous for its crystal-clear, deep blue waters that resemble a tropical paradise. Cruise across the sparkling sea, watch the dolphins gracefully swim alongside the boat, and enjoy about 50 minutes of relaxation away from the hustle and bustle.

【One-Stop Check-in for a Smoother Experience】 The reservation center handles check-ins for multiple boat operators, so you do not need to worry about choosing a specific boat. Once you arrive and complete your check-in, your boarding will be arranged smoothly.

【Explore Amakusa's Cultural Sites After Dolphin Watching】 Amakusa is famous for the story of Amakusa Shiro and its Catholic history. There are many cultural sites nearby, such as Gothic churches, which are perfect to visit after your dolphin watching tour (please arrange your own transportation; costs are not included in this package).
