humpback whale appears in the winter sea of Okinawa. Let's encounter the dynamic and moving figure up close!

Okinawa has only a few whale watching points in the world.

In summer, humpback whale lives in the Antarctic Sea, but in winter it travels to the warm southern sea for childbirth and child care. The route can be broadly divided into seven locations around the world, and Hawaii and Okinawa are one of the most popular watching tours.

The encounter points are roughly divided into two areas: the Kerama Islands sea area and the I Eshima sea area. Predict the appearance point of whales based on information from captains and local fishermen who are familiar with the sea.

humpback whale, one of the largest whales in the world's largest mammal whales, is 15 meters long, worth the height of a four-story condominium, and 30 tons of giant bodies equivalent to 11 elephants.
Wheel watching is one of the most popular activities in Okinawa. If you're traveling to Okinawa during this time, we recommend early booking your whale watching tour.
Let's experience the moving moments that can only be experienced now!
