Snorkeling with Humpback Whales
SEE YOU NEXT SEASON in 2026!!!
**Freediving or scubadiving cert required**
Humpback whales are wild sea creatures.
We may not be able to get in water depending on the whale's temperament. This is uncommon, but safety is our priority for you and the whales. We will determine if it is safe to swim with the whales.
I love watching the whales in the water and from the boat.
Fortunately, in Okinawa often we see adult whales and mothers with their calf. If we're lucky, the baby will dance with us until the mother says “stop playing with people, let's go home.”
If you wanna have an unforgettable experience, I recommend making a reservation as soon as possible.

**Rules of Okinawa snorkeling with whales organization**
Don't dive!!Don't chase!!
If you just float on the surface, whales are curious about human beings
and could swim to us so close like my picture.
Please understand our rules to protect the good environment
so that whales can come to Okinawa for migration in the long future.
