Meet at Chatan Fisharena
Upon arrival, please go directly to the boat (name: Haisai).
There is a dry room available to store valuables or belongings you don’t want to get wet.
After getting ready, put on a life jacket (mandatory by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism), then set off to search for whales!
The YAMAHA YFR-27HMEX is a 2024 model boat ideal for private groups.
It seats up to 8 guests and features a clean, quiet gasoline engine, plus a toilet, shower, A/C, cabin, and sunshade.
All gear, including fishing rods and bait, is provided.
Our staff will support you throughout, or you can simply relax on board.
After Tropical Fishing, Move to The Whale Watching Point
Let’s search for humpback whales returning to Okinawa for breeding and nurturing!
Sometimes they appear within 15 minutes of departure, other times it may take over an hour.
Enjoy cruising the Okinawan sea while searching!
You may witness powerful blows, high tail dives, or even breaching—when whales jump out of the water!
They may also flap their fins or tails in playful behavior.
Enjoy a 45-minute cruise back to Chatan Fisharena.
If you’re feeling cold, relax inside the cabin for comfort.
Hot showers and changing rooms are available for your convenience.
Staff will guide you on how to receive your tour photos.
*Use of the hot shower in "Uminchu Wharf" costs ¥200 per 5 minutes.
*Available from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
