The tour group was very experienced and quickly located the whales, allowing for close-up views of them spouting water and diving. The boat handling was also very stable, and the staff provided clear explanations and cautioned passengers along the way, especially regarding children running around. It was a wonderful whale watching experience.
It started raining heavily before we even left Naha. The high-speed ferry ride took 40 days to reach the island. Thankfully, the rain wasn't too bad once we arrived, but it was very cold. Even though it was cloudy, you could still see the gradient colors of the sea. Next time, I want to come back for snorkeling and an overnight stay to experience the island's tranquility and play with the island's cats. On our way back to Okinawa's main island, we saw sea snakes, corals, and tropical fish at the harbor – probably the cleanest harbor I've ever seen. The Taiwanese staff who greeted us on the island were very kind.
This trip was very comfortable in the luxurious 7-seater car. Our driver, Ms. Zheng, drove very safely. Before departure, she double-checked the pre-arranged itinerary. Ms. Zheng accompanied us to our destinations, helped us buy tickets, and took photos for our family, treating us like friends. When we arrived at the restaurant we had originally booked, it was too crowded, so we changed to another place. So, if there are any changes to the itinerary, we can easily make adjustments. Thank you, Ms. Zheng, for being so cooperative with the schedule! Today's chartered day trip was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Ms. Zheng! 👍👍👍
The tour guide, who could understand a little Japanese, said that it's more beautiful in winter and summer, and even more beautiful at nine o'clock that day.
