Whale watching tours in the waters of Okinawa (Kerama Islands and Motobu area)

Why can you see humpback whales near Okinawa (Kerama Islands and Motobu area)?

From spring to summer, humpback whales fill their stomachs with Toyotomi food in the Alaskan waters and stock up on nutrients, then come to the waters of Okinawa from Dec. to Apr. to give birth and raise their young. During the tour, you may be able to see the adorable sight of whales swimming with their baby whales.

The sun in Okinawa is strong even in winter, so be sure to take precautions against sunburn.
