Okinawa Naha Whale Watching Tour Booking
Overview
Humpback whales arrive at Kerama Islands in Okinawa every year from January to March.
After spending the summer feeding on the abundant food in the northern waters around the Aleutian Islands, they return to the warmer waters of Okinawa to breed.
This is the only time of year to watch these whales, and it will be a memorable experience.
