- Winter special offer! Encounter whales!
- Every winter, humpback whales return to Okinawa to breed. When it comes to whale watching in Okinawa, the Kerama Islands are famous, but you can also see many whales in the waters off our home ground, Motobu. The whales' dynamic performances are simply breathtaking!
- The greatest thrill of whale watching is the "breach"
- Humpback whales are some of the largest mammals in the world, reaching lengths of 10 to 15 meters and weighing up to 30 tons. Their pectoral fins are much longer than those of other whales, and you can get a close-up look at them slapping the surface of the water with their pectoral fins, or diving gracefully with their large tail fins on full display. It's guaranteed to be an impressive sight to see such a huge body soar through the air, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to witness the moment!
- A shiny cruiser launched in 2018
