We were impressed by the powerful whale jump! The boat was comfortable, and the restrooms were a nice touch for those with children. The half-day tour was fun enough, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand. If you come to Amami in winter, I definitely recommend this tour!

I had an image of Amami as being in summer, but I had no idea that such a precious experience could be had in winter. The sea was crystal clear, and I was impressed by the clear sight of the whales. The tour is comfortable as long as you are prepared for the cold weather!

I joined the half-day course with my family. I was worried about the long tour, but there was a restroom on the ship, so we could enjoy the tour without worries. At first I was worried if we would be able to see the whales, but we were able to see them. My child was so excited! The dynamic movements of the whales fascinated even the adults.

I had always wanted to see humpback whales at least once in my life, and I never thought I would be able to observe them so closely! The sight of the whales beating their large fins and their dynamic jumps were breathtaking and truly moving. The guide's commentary was easy to understand, and it was great to learn about whale ecology. It was a great experience!

I joined the morning half-day course at the end of January. I was told by the hotel's activity manager that the whale encounter rate is low these days. On the day of the tour, we could not see any whales and were about to give up when we managed to see a big whale. I appreciate the service spirit of the couple who kept searching for the whale even though it was way past the scheduled time. Thank you very much!

The encounter rate as of mid-January was about 50%, but they searched hard and we were able to see them just before returning to port. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is considering sightseeing in Amami by early spring. Seeing whales up close is very powerful!

Perhaps it was too early in the season this time, but we did not see any whales, but thank you for moving around a lot and looking for them. At the end of the tour, we met a father and daughter dolphins and were able to take pictures of them. Thank you very much for spending so much time with us. I would definitely like to go again someday, this time during a better time of the year.

It was a good decision to take anti-sickness medicine. The beautiful sea of Amami Oshima and the encounter with the whales became a treasure of my life! I hope I can join again next year.

I joined the half-day course with my children, and they were very excited to see humpback whales jumping up close! There is a restroom on board, so even with small children, it was a safe and enjoyable experience. It was an unforgettable experience for the whole family!

We joined the half-day course because our children were small, but we were able to fully enjoy the tour. The guide was kind and gave us a lot of information about whales.

I joined the one-day course with him. The experience of seeing whales at sea was very romantic and made for a special day that I will never forget. The guide's commentary was fun and we were continuously impressed by the whales' behavior! You should definitely experience this tour when you come here.

It was a very satisfying whale watching experience! The captain spotted the whales from a distance and quickly drove the boat around. We were able to see a mother and her calf very close by! I was very impressed with the resourcefulness of the captain and his consideration for the whales. This is a great activity for everyone from young children to seniors. The staff was very kind and we had a great time. I would like to participate again! Thank you very much.

It was a wonderful experience. I was very moved to be able to feel the creature, a whale, so close up. I was also impressed by the captain's precise decisions on the course to take and points to move to, as well as his easy-to-understand explanations. It was my first whale watching experience, and I am sure this tour will be the right one for me. I would like to come back to Amami to watch whales jump again. Thank you very much for your wonderful guidance!

This was my first whale watching experience. I get motion sickness, so I was a little worried. But I took anti-sickness medicine and enjoyed it without any problem! On the day of the tour, we saw a mother and her calf jump several times. I was really moved! It was a very moving experience just to see the whales, but I also enjoyed learning about them through the guide's explanations. It was a really valuable experience! Thank you very much for a fun day. Thank you very much for an enjoyable day!
