☆Highlights of Whale Watching Off the Coast of Ie Island☆
Point 1
Experience the thrilling performances up close! Compared to the Kerama Islands, there are fewer boats here, ensuring a less crowded, safer, and more enjoyable whale watching experience. You’ll get the chance to see whales right next to the boat! The abundance of whales in this area is also a major attraction♪
Point 2
It’s only a 10-minute drive from the meeting point to Churaumi Aquarium! With both morning and afternoon tours available, you can easily plan your visit to the aquarium or explore Northern Okinawa’s scenic spots. Be soothed by the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Okinawa and the spectacular whale performances♪
Point 3
Receive a Whale Watching Guidebook and a Welcome Drink on-site! The guidebook provides insight into whale behavior, so you won’t have to ask the whales “How are you feeling today?”—you’ll understand their emotions through their performances! Onboard, a whale expert will also give you easy-to-follow explanations about these amazing creatures.
Point 4
The meeting point is at a shop right next to the departing port! While waiting for departure, relax at the shop with views of the ocean and enjoy Okinawan music. The shop is fully heated for your comfort!

I was able to see it, but...

I've always wanted to go whale watching☆ I was really looking forward to it and was drawn to the idea of seeing them up close, so I even went out of my way to find a hotel in the northern area...
We did see a mother and calf whale, and we were able to see them spouting water and their tails.
However, they were not close at all... Other boats would quickly move in when they spotted a whale, but we couldn't get close. We didn't get to see them up close at all. The images I had in mind seemed quite r… I've always wanted to go whale watching☆ I was really looking forward to it and was drawn to the idea of seeing them up close, so I even went out of my way to find a hotel in the northern area...

The images I had in mind seemed quite rare, and we didn't see anything like that. It was also quite difficult to leave the port after the tour since we had to disband at the location. 念願のホエールウォッチング☆ ずっと楽しみにしていて 船の間近で見れるのに惹かれて わざわざ北部の方のホテル探したのに…
Since it was April, I thought it might not be possible to see anything, but I managed to catch a glimpse. Various companies' boats seemed to be communicating with each other, and the boat that spotted the whale was in contact with the other boats, so we were able to encounter it.4月という事で ダメかなぁと 思って参加しましたが 何とか見れました 色々な会社の船が連絡を取り合いながら クジラを発見した船が 他の船に連絡を取っているようなので 遭遇できました

Whale Watching & Sea Walking

う～ちゃん
I participated because I wanted to have memorable experiences in Okinawa for the first time. I couldn't quite imagine what a sea walker would be like, but it was so much fun walking on the ocean floor like I was floating in space, feeding the fish, and holding sea cucumbers and starfish! I might want to try diving next time? I also thought it would have been nice to have a photo service underwater.

During whale watching, we couldn't get too close, but the boat was maneuvered so we could see them, and when we spotted the spouts and tails, it was truly moving!
I’m thinking I want to go again! 初めての沖縄で思い出になる体験をしたくて参加しました。シーウォーカーってちょっとイメージできなかったんですが、宇宙遊泳感覚で海の底を歩いてお魚に餌をやったり、なまこやヒトデを持たしてもらったり、とても楽しかったです！今度はダイビングに挑戦したいかも？水中での写真サービスがあれば嬉しかったなと思いました。 ホエールウォッチングでは近くで見ることはできなかったのですが、見えるように船を走らせてくれ、潮吹きや尾びれが見えた時は本当に感動でした！ また行きたいな！と思っています。

Whale watching on the first day of the season.

- The waves were calm, and I felt comfortable without any seasickness. I wore a raincoat because I was worried about the weather, but it also helped keep me warm. - I regret not being able to see the jumps like in the photos, but I was satisfied that I could clearly see the large tail fin.・波も穏やかで、船酔いもなく快適でした。天気が心配なためカッパを着ていきましたが、防寒対策にもなりました。 ・写真のようなジャンプが見れず心残りでしたが、大きな尾びれはしっかり目に焼き付けることができ、満足しています。

We finally set sail.

I participated on a day when the weather had been bad for a while, and the departure had been postponed, but we finally set sail. We did encounter whales, but they were a bit far away. However, since this is nature we're dealing with, it can't be helped. It was quite a rocky day, but I didn't get seasick and had a fun half-day. I'm grateful for the courteous service from the staff.天候が悪い日が続き、延期も続き、やっと出航できた日に参加しました。 クジラには出会えましたが、少し遠かったかなー。 でもこれだけは自然が相手なので仕方ないです。 かなり揺れた日でしたが、船酔いする事もなく楽しい半日でした。 スタッフの方々の丁寧な対応に感謝しています。

Reply from the operator
Dear Ashiko,
Thank you very much for choosing our shop among many others. We would be delighted if you could use our services again when you visit Okinawa.
I attended with my wife. She was worried about seasickness, but there were no particular issues. We were able to see whales multiple times, and we are satisfied. Next time, we are talking about possibly going diving.妻と参加しました。妻は、船酔いに不安を感じていましたが、特に、問題はありませんでした。クジラも、何度も見ることができ、満足しています。今度は、ダイビングでも、などと話しています。

When I asked the staff at the reception on the day of the event if there had been any sightings yesterday, they replied that since it was already late in the season, they hadn't seen anything. So, I wasn't expecting much. However, once the boat set sail, the boarding staff mentioned that they had a good chance of spotting something based on the morning trip. My hopes began to rise. But the boat was rocking a lot! After about 1 hour and 10 minutes, we finally arrived at the spot.

So, I wasn't expecting much. However, once the boat set sail, the boarding staff mentioned that they had a good chance of spotting something based on the morning trip. My hopes began to rise. But the boat was rocking a lot! After about 1 hour and 10 minutes, we finally arrived at the spot. At first, there was a long silence, but then someone shouted with excitement, and when I looked in that direction, there they were—whales spouting water! They showed themselves a few more times after that. The staff said there were two of them, but did they all look the same to me? While we were stopped at the point searching, I went up on deck, but the side-to-side rocking was intense, and my back started to hurt, which was a bit tough. But it was a great experience. I was also very satisfied with the parasailing I did in the morning, as I was able to soar quite high. 当日受付のスタッフさんに、昨日は出ましたか？と聞いたら、すでにシーズン終盤で北上してしまったのか、見られなかったとの答えだったので、あまり期待していませんでした。でも船が出港して、乗船スタッフの人から、午前中の便であたりをつけてあるので、見られるチャンスはあるとのこと。期待が高まりました。しかし、揺れる揺れる！およそ1時間10分。ついにポイントに到着したら、最初は長く沈黙が続いていたのですが、誰かが歓声を上げたので、その方向を見てみると、いましたいました。潮吹くクジラ。その後も何度か水面に姿を見せ… 当日受付のスタッフさんに、昨日は出ましたか？と聞いたら、すでにシーズン終盤で北上してしまったのか、見られなかったとの答えだったので、あまり期待していませんでした。でも船が出港して、乗船スタッフの人から、午前中の便であたりをつけてあるので、見られるチャンスはあるとのこと。期待が高まりました。しかし、揺れる揺れる！およそ1時間10分。ついにポイントに到着したら、最初は長く沈黙が続いていたのですが、誰かが歓声を上げたので、その方向を見てみると、いましたいました。潮吹くクジラ。その後も何度か水面に姿を見せてくれました。スタッフさんは２頭いるといっていましたが、どれも同じように見えたのは自分だけ？ポイントで止まって探しているうちは甲板に上がってみていたのですが、横揺れがひどく、腰が痛くなり、ちょっと辛かったなぁ。でもいい体験でした。午前中に体験したパラセーリングもかなり高く舞い上がれたので、とっても満足でした。
