Zamami Whale Watching Association

The whale watching season in Zamami starts from the end of December every year and continues to the beginning of April of the following year. It is one of the key items of Okinawa winter tour. Generally, there will be two departures of boats every day, one at 10:00 in the morning and one at 12:30 in the afternoon. The whale watching journey takes about 2 hours. The staff will generally observe the movements of humpback whales on the day at the observation deck on Zamami Island, and then decide the direction of departure after finding the target. If the weather is not bad, there is a high chance of seeing humpback whales floating on the water and wagging their tails.
