Join us during the peak breeding season for a chance to see humpback whales, including mothers and calves, in their natural habitat. On departures from Naha, an English-speaking guide is guaranteed on board to provide clear and engaging explanations about whale behavior, migration, and conservation throughout the tour.

After the tour, you will receive a download link to beautiful whale photos taken by our staff (photos may be from another day depending on weather and shooting conditions).
