The sea wasn't too rough that day, but since it was a small boat, it rocked quite a bit, and there were some people who felt sick and ended up vomiting. If you are prone to motion sickness, I definitely recommend taking anti-nausea medication before boarding.
Unfortunately, we hardly saw any whales. We might have caught a glimpse of a tail a few times in the distance, but it was so brief that there was no time to take photos.

Unfortunately, we hardly saw any whales. We might have caught a glimpse of a tail a few times in the distance, but it was so brief that there was no time to take photos. Just being able to see them was a small consolation. So, the whale watching experience was disappointing this time.
However, Tokashiki Island was very nice. The conversations during the car ride around the island were also interesting. I was soothed by the beautiful sandy beaches and scenery.
Thanks to the tour that included landing on Tokashiki Island, the disappointment of not seeing whales was somewhat alleviated. 当日海はそこまで荒れていませんでしたが、小さな船なのでそこそこ揺れ、具合が悪くなって吐いている方がいました。乗り物酔いをする方は、絶対に吐気止めを服用してから乗船したほうが良いと思います。
I think it would be tough for those who get seasick (there's room to reconsider the plan).

The small boat tour of the whirlpools in Naruto and the drift ice was totally fine, but I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life 🤮.
After arriving on the island, we had a short 10-minute drive to the beach, and then immediately had curry (this was the problem!). About 20 minutes after eating, we went scuba diving. Since the schedule was tight (we were rushed), we finished and had no time for a shower or even to use the restroom before heading back to the port for whale watching… The small boat tour of the whirlpools in Naruto and the drift ice was totally fine, but I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life 🤮.

Since the schedule was tight (we were rushed), we finished and had no time for a shower or even to use the restroom before heading back to the port for whale watching, circling on the water for 30 minutes.
Of course, I got seasick.
The inside of the boat was like a triage center. I think about half of the people were completely seasick, probably thinking, "I just want to get back to Naha Port quickly."
It would have been nice if they had allowed us to choose lighter snacks that are easier to digest. 小型船で鳴門の渦や流氷ツアーも全然オーケーだったが人生で初めて船酔いで🤮した。 と言うのも、、 島到着後車で10分程度の移動でビーチ すぐカレー（これが問題！） 食後20分後にスキューバ スケジュールが押してるため（急かされて）終わってシャワーはおろかトイレも行く暇なくバスで港まで戻ってすぐホエールウッチングの為、洋上を30分グルグル そりゃ船酔いするよ
The beaches of Tokashiki Island were incredibly beautiful. I wished I could have stayed longer. During the whale watching, I was satisfied to see whales a few times. However, it's a matter of luck, and the whales were farther away than I expected (laughs). The guide was friendly and kind, which made for a comfortable experience.渡嘉敷島のビーチがものすごく綺麗でした。もっと長く居たかったです。ホエールウォッチングでは何回かクジラが見れて満足でした。ただ、こればかりは運の問題なのですが、思っていたよりクジラが遠かったです(笑)ガイドさんが気さくで優しい方で居心地が良かったです。

In mid-March, I participated with my family of four (my spouse, a 3-year-old, and a 0-year-old). On the way there, my wife and child got seasick due to the unexpectedly high waves and rocking of the boat, but we were able to refresh both our minds and bodies during our break and beach stroll on Tokashiki Island. The beach was beautiful and felt great.

During the whale watching, with the guidance of our guide and captain, we were able to see whales multiple times! (They mentioned that there were more sightings than usual.) It was an exhilarating moment that made us forget about the seasickness.
I recommend that those who are not good with vehicles or have little experience on small boats take motion sickness medication in advance. 3月中旬に家族4名（夫婦＋3歳・0歳）で参加しました。 往路では想定以上の波の高さ・揺れに妻と子が船酔いしてしまいましたが、渡嘉敷島での休憩兼ビーチ散策で心も体もリフレッシュできました。ビーチは綺麗で気持ちよかったです。 ホエールウォッチングではガイドさん・船長さんの案内の元、何度もクジラの姿を見ることができました！（いつもより多めにでてきてくれたとのこと） 船酔いも忘れて大興奮のひと時でした。 乗り物が苦手な方、小型船の経験が少ない方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。

On Tokashiki Island, I went to the observation deck and enjoyed the wonderful views of the surrounding Kerama Islands. On the way back, we went whale watching; although it was a bit far, we were able to see the whales jumping.渡嘉敷島では、展望台まで行き周りの慶良間諸島など素晴らしい景色を堪能しました 帰りはフォエールウォッチング、少し遠目でしたがクジラのジャンプも見れました

On the way to Tokashiki Island, we saw a whale. After arriving in Tokashiki Village, we quickly took a microbus to the beach. For lunch, we had curry, which was self-service, and the vegetable curry was delicious. The glass boat to the uninhabited island allowed us to see coral reefs and fish, and we had some free time on the uninhabited island to collect seashells and take photos—it went by in no time. On the way back, we also saw a whale during whale watching. It would have been nice to see a … On the way to Tokashiki Island, we saw a whale.
