Japan
On December 26th, I experienced this with my elderly mother, starting at 9 AM.
The day before, I received a call while I was still on the plane regarding the pickup, but since there were no messages, I felt anxious. In the end, I called them at night. All other communications were via email, so I thought it would be better to receive important information through email.
The pickup from the Regency Hotel was at 8:05 AM, and we were the first ones. As people from various Asian countries boarded, it felt like we were traveling abroad, filled with a sense of exoticism.
Before boarding, we signed in at a small hut and received a photo of a whale as a special gift along with a simple pair of binoculars. We were fine, but there were others who hadnโt received theirs after boarding, and they were told they would be given them after confirming once we got off, so I recommend being proactive and collecting them before boarding.
The boat had two types of seating: one in the dark bow and another with large windows at the back. The back was filled with foreigners, leaving some Japanese families and a few foreigners seated in the bow where they couldnโt see outside. Since the view was blocked unless you stood up and the engine noise was very loud, many people ended up falling asleep.
Once we set sail, the boat started to sway, and about 15 minutes in, some people in the bow began to feel nauseous. It seems everyone took motion sickness medication before boarding, so those who are unsure should be prepared. Also, those prone to seasickness might find it easier to manage if they can see outside.
After a little over an hour, we could see the Kerama Islands, which was the spot, and the engine stopped, causing the swaying to worsen.
Wearing windbreakers and life jackets was recommended to avoid getting wet, but with the heat, everyone was sweating profusely. Moreover, the boat was dark and lacked ventilation, causing even those who had been fine until then to feel unwell.
Everyone hurriedly took off their outerwear. I also planned to change into a lighter down jacket when going out onto the deck.
If a whale had appeared at that moment, it would have lifted everyone's spirits, but nature doesnโt always cooperate.
We anchored for about 20 minutes, but no whales showed up, and many people felt sick. Even those in the back with a good view started to feel unwell.
However, itโs a bit strange to say, but there was hardly any smell, so it didnโt lead to others feeling sick as well. The provided etiquette bags were double-layered and plentiful, which was reassuring. For those worried, itโs better to bring water to rinse your mouth.
Those who were feeling very nauseous were taken to the back where the wind was blowing, and it seemed to help them a bit as they could see the scenery. About ten people were being assisted at the back that day.
We reluctantly moved to wait for the whales to appear, but there were no sounds even from the underwater microphone, and we had to give up and return.
Upon returning to the port, the group representative handed out one boarding ticket each. We didnโt receive one each, so Iโm a bit worried about whether only one person can retry in case of a second attempt, or if everyone can. There was no mention of this.
I had heard that the chances of seeing whales are low until mid-January, and that turned out to be true.
It was disappointing that we couldnโt fully enjoy the whale watching tour.

I was really looking forward to seeing the whales, and I'm glad I got to see them. I wish I could have seen them a little closer. I felt it was a bit hot inside the boat. When we spotted the whales, everyone stood up at once, which felt a little dangerous. But overall, I was satisfied.

The summer in Rausu is often shrouded in deep fog, and unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. We ran out to sea in the cold and drifted for a long time waiting for a whale to appear, but in the end, none showed up. We did encounter a pod of dolphins, though. Meeting a single whale in the vast ocean might be a miracle, but still, it's incredibly disappointing.

I participated on a sunny day in early July. The ship was large, so the rocking wasn't too bothersome, and since the sea was calm that day, it was a very comfortable cruise. However, the perceived temperature in the northern sea is low, and without a thicker layer of clothing, the wind on the water can feel quite cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket (they also provide rentals on board).
Before departure, I was told that the chances of seeing orcas or whales weren't very high, so I wasn't expecting much and thought I would just enjoy the beautiful Shiretoko mountains and Kunashir Island from the sea. To my surprise, I encountered orcas, whales, and even dolphins! It might be rare to be this lucky, but the crew coordinated with other boats to search for them and even used a microphone in the water to listen for whale calls, so Iโm really glad I participated!
The sight of the whale raising its tail and diving into the sea was truly moving! It was the best experience of my trip to Shiretoko! I couldn't capture it at all with my smartphone camera, though!

I've loved orcas since I was a child and was captivated by their presence at aquariums. When I learned that I could see wild orcas from a boat in Shiretoko Rausu during this season, I finally made the visit. The Hamanasu boat is large, and they provide warm jackets for passengers (the waters around Rausu can still be cold even in early summer), making it comfortable. Unfortunately, the weather that day was foggy, and I was worried about whether we would see any orcas. However, suddenly, a nearly 2-meter tall male orca's dorsal fin appeared on the surface! Other male and female orcas also showed up! Swimming in the calm waters of Shiretoko, the black and white orcas near the boat were breathtakingly beautiful and majestic. Yet, their playful behavior as they swam alongside each other conveyed the affection they have for their families, which was incredibly endearing. Although it was unfortunate that the weather was not clear, if it had been sunny, we would have been able to see the orcas against the backdrop of the snow-capped Shiretoko mountain range or the silhouette of Kunashir Island. It was truly a precious experience that could be called a "miraculous encounter." I definitely want to go again!

I participated at the end of the year, but unfortunately, I didn't see any whales. After returning, I asked a diver acquaintance, and they told me that whales are rarely seen in December. It seems that most whale watching tours organized by diving shops start around the second week of January. I thought it might be a bit early, so I wasn't too hopeful, and it can't be helped!
We ventured out to about the area shown in the photo. It was quite far, so I'll just consider it as part of the cruise cost.
The boat rocked quite a bit, probably due to the winter weather. Since the journey was long, there were many people sleeping... There wasn't really a sense of "We might see whales! We need to keep an eye out!" throughout the boat. I got the impression that there were many participants from China.

I was able to see wild whales for the first time. There weren't any flashy movements like jumping, but at one point, a baby whale came very close and swam right under the boat, which was an incredible sight. The appearance of the whale was fleeting, and I couldn't take any still photos, but I kept the video rolling, and it turned out clear, so that was great.

Unfortunately, I was unable to see any whales, and since it was the end of the year, there was no refund available.
Well, that was within my expectations, so itโs fine, but when I tried to use the re-boarding ticket I received to try again in March, I was told, "You only have one re-boarding ticket, so please pay the rest in cash."
If thatโs the case, I wish they had told me to get enough re-boarding tickets for everyone at the end of the last trip.

I have been whale watching both domestically and internationally, but this time felt like a miss. Whales are part of nature, so it's understandable. The mother and calf were nice to see. The boat's equipment was average. The crew was young, and I thought their explanations for the international guests were good, but I felt something was lacking. I would have liked more information about the whales, such as being able to hear their calls before we spotted them. For the next time, maybe I'll try a different boat?

I could clearly see it! The sight of a whale! We started from Chatan Port on a cruiser with about 25 people, and the boat was going quite fast. There were already about eight other whale-watching boats around. After about 20 minutes, a whale appeared near the boat, breathing and diving, and we saw its tail right in front of us. I was very busy taking photos and videos. (laughs) It was an incredibly fun experience.

I was surprised by the intensity of the swaying.
It seems there was a child who got so close that the captain said, "This one is friendly, it's too close!" However, I couldn't clearly see its figure from the boat, but I was able to see its tail above the water and the spray. It was moving.
Motion sickness medication is a must!

Dear U family,
Thank you very much for participating in our "Whale Watching Tour." Many of our guests, both children and adults, express their joy and excitement at seeing the powerful whales up close.
Additionally, compared to summer, the winter sea can sometimes have higher waves, so we recommend taking motion sickness medication as you mentioned. Nevertheless, whale watching continues to attract many repeat customers seeking that thrill, and we sincerely look forward to your next visit.
Sincerely,
The staff at Cerulean Blue

Dear Ethan,
I sincerely apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in our "Whale Watching" tour.
The incredible experience of seeing whales up close, which you described as the best, is truly moving. It seems you have become quite fond of whale watching, so we hope you will join us again next season.
We look forward to your next visit, Ethan. Thank you very much.

The sight of the humpback whale was impressive,
and since itโs partly about luck, I didnโt get to see it very often.
Still, aside from the two reservations I made here,
I ended up going on a total of four boats,
and although they were small, I was able to see the whales.
I want to come back for a revenge trip next time.
By the way, I went from February 1st,
and it was already summer in Okinawa.

I was surprised to hear that you joined us four times, but it seems you really enjoy whale watching, which makes us very happy as the tour provider.

The young and lively staff members were on board, and the staff who accompanied us on the boat were desperately searching for whales. It seemed like we might have seen a tail or a spout... something like that. However, just experiencing the sea and wind of Okinawa made it worth participating.
On the day we boarded, the sea was quite rough, and many people were exhausted on the way back. Since we participated in January, the wind was cold, so I think long sleeves are a must during this time. But that's nature, so it's something we have to accept. I hope we can see more clearly next time.

Dear Spring,
I sincerely apologize for the delayed response. Thank you very much for participating in our whale watching tour.
During the winter, the waves tend to be higher compared to the summer, so we recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are concerned about seasickness. It was unfortunate that the whales were not clearly visible, but we hope you will fully enjoy the experience during your next visit.
We look forward to your next participation, Spring. Thank you very much.

Previously, I participated in tours around Kerama, but this time I stayed in Onna Village and traveled with children, so I joined this tour departing from Chatan. It was a great decision. After boarding, we spotted a whale in just about 15 minutes! The staff mentioned it was the shortest time they've experienced (laughs). Although we didn't see any jumps this time, we were able to watch the whales slowly, and I was very satisfied. The boat didn't sway too much, but it seemed like there were quite a few people feeling unwell (๏ฟฃ0๏ฟฃ;). I recommend taking motion sickness medication early before participating.

Dear Yuko,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you for choosing our whale watching tour among the many options available.
I'm glad to hear that you were able to spot a whale about 15 minutes after departure! It's wonderful that you were able to enjoy watching the whales at a leisurely pace. Thank you for your kind words of satisfaction!
Additionally, during the winter months, the waves can be higher compared to summer, so we recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who may be concerned about seasickness. We hope you will join us again next season.
We look forward to your next visit, Yuko. Thank you very much.

The weather was nice, with a blue sky and blue sea. From the bow of the boat, I saw the white spray of a whale, its large black body, and its tail fin, which was incredibly exciting. We chased the whale with the boat, and I was able to see its body several times. The boat rocked, but it was great.

Dear Keiko,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you for choosing to participate in our whale watching tour among many options.
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the perfect weather and had a great time watching the whales. Itโs always exciting when we spot a whale or see their performances, isnโt it? With a length of up to 15 meters, they must have been quite impressive!
Since their size and behavior can vary from day to day, I believe you will continue to enjoy the experience no matter how many times you join us.
We look forward to welcoming you again, Keiko. Thank you very much.

I took motion sickness medication 30 minutes before, but I ended up feeling quite seasick. Other boats gathered at the spot, and we were able to observe wild whales. I was able to see the whales' blows and dorsal fins, which made it worth participating. However, I noticed that several Korean women were extremely seasick and probably couldn't observe the whales at all.

Dear Mr. Mori,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you for participating in our whale watching tour among the many options available.
During winter, the sea tends to have higher waves compared to summer. We aim to provide a viewing experience in the least shaky areas possible, but since whales are wild creatures, it can be quite challenging.
However, Iโm glad to hear that you were able to see them safely. We are very pleased to receive your feedback that it was worth participating!
We look forward to your next visit. Thank you very much.

The tour company is not at fault, but this is my honest opinion.
I haven't experienced much seasickness on this type of tour before, but just in case, I took a motion sickness pill that was sold at the reception for 500 yen. Even so, I still felt quite nauseous. From what I could see, there were actually fewer people who didn't throw up. Because of that, I was able to throw up without hesitation, which slightly improved my condition, but...
I did see the whales and their spouts, but honestly, it wasn't enough to make up for the discomfort of seasickness. I think there were many people who were so sick that they hardly saw the whales.
If you're planning to include this in a short stay in Okinawa, I think it's important to carefully consider and prepare for it.

Dear Reviewer,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you for participating in our whale watching tour among the many options available.
I appreciate your honest feedback. The winter sea, where whales visit, can have higher waves than in summer, depending on the day's conditions. Additionally, most people have limited experience on boats and may not be accustomed to the rocking.
I'm relieved to hear that your condition improved a bit after experiencing seasickness. While individual experiences may vary, I believe it is essential for us to provide solid support to minimize seasickness and help with quicker recovery if it occurs. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
We look forward to your next visit to Okinawa. Thank you!

About 10 minutes after departure, we were lucky enough to encounter a whale. I was moved to see its dorsal fin clearly and to be able to gauge the size of the individual. After that, we were able to see the blow and the tail fin protruding from the surface of the water from a distance several times. We returned to the port much earlier than scheduled, but I think the other passengers had no objections due to the high waves, the cold, and the ample opportunity for observation.
There was a sale of motion sickness medication at the reception, but I think it's better to prepare your own and take it in advance with plenty of time. It seems that on some days, 30 out of 40 people can get seasick.

Dear Balle,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you for participating in our whale watching tour among the many options available.
Itโs great to hear that you encountered whales just 10 minutes after departure! We are pleased that you were able to see them clearly. As the season progresses, the whales tend to show various performances, so we are glad to know you were satisfied.
Regarding seasickness, it can be affected by the wind and waves on the day of the tour, but if you are concerned, we recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. Were you okay with seasickness?
Whales perform differently each day, so please consider joining us again when you visit Okinawa.
We look forward to your next visit. Thank you!

The boat shakes a lot until you reach the whale sighting location. If you get seasick, it might be quite tough... but it's worth enduring. When you spot a whale in the incredibly vast ocean, it's truly moving. It became a wonderful memory of Okinawa.

Dear Ken-chan Jiru,
I apologize for the delayed response. Thank you for choosing our whale watching tour among the many options available.
Compared to summer, the waves tend to be higher in winter. The conditions of the wind and tide can affect the level of rocking, but there will inevitably be some movement. However, the excitement of encountering a whale after overcoming that rocking is unforgettable! We are glad to hear that it has become a wonderful memory of Okinawa for you.
Each time you go out, the whales you encounter and their performances are different, so I believe there are various ways to enjoy the experience no matter how many times you join us.
We look forward to your next visit, Ken-chan Jiru. Thank you very much.

I saw a whale! Just a few glimpses of its back. However, it seems that it's difficult to spot them during this season, and there was quite a bit of time spent searching for the whales. The waves were also high (according to the captain, the sea was calm that day), so about one-third of the people couldn't see the whale due to seasickness.

โ Participants: 0-year-old, 4-year-old, mother
โ Fees: Adult 3,800 yen, Child 1,000 yen
โ Positive Points
- Suitable for 0-year-olds
- Hotel shuttle bus available
- Children's captain experience (the 4-year-old boy was delighted)
- Consideration for children's seating positions
โ Negative Points
- Other guests fell due to the ship's rocking (I would like to request prior guidance and caution)
I saw whales about three times from a distance. This is just luck, so it can't be helped.
My mother (who usually doesn't get motion sickness) was feeling exhausted from seasickness in the second half, but the 4-year-old was energetic. The 0-year-old was seated in a stroller wrapped in a life jacket, sleeping without crying.

The weather was nice and the climate was pleasant on the day of the trip. Since the hotel was nearby, we decided to depart from Chatan. Although it was said that it might be cold on the boat, the temperature kept rising and it was warm.
When we saw the whale's blow and its dorsal fin come out of the water, there was a cheer. Just when I thought it was over, we were able to see the whale for quite a long time as it swam. The sea was clear and beautiful, which made it incredibly moving to see the swimming up close.
The staff were kind and predicted where the whales would appear, quickly informing us when they spotted one.
I would love to participate again for some relaxation.

It was my first time whale watching. The sea conditions weren't great, and by the time we arrived at the spot, I was feeling a bit seasick. However, when we encountered the whales, I was so excited that I forgot all about the seasickness. I definitely want to participate in whale watching again.
