Jammer, geen enkele walvis gezien, zelfs geen dolfijn. Boot stinkt naar de uitlaatgassen. ipv van warme kledij mee te doen hadden we beter oordoppen mee gedaan. Ik vind ook dat kinderen(babys) beneden de 6 jaar niet zouden mogen meegaan op trip, die weenden, braken ... geen aangename ontspanning....

Ik vind ook dat kinderen(babys) beneden de 6 jaar niet zouden mogen meegaan op trip, die weenden, braken ... geen aangename ontspanning. Ok, we hebben geen refund gekregen maar wat ben ik met een ticket die geldig is tot 2023, een reis van België naar Japan maak je niet ieder jaar. heel teleurgesteld. Alle werd uitgelegd in het Japans, één iemand kwam ons vagen als er vragen waren (in het Engels) dat we ze mochten stellen. Bus waarin je opgehaald en terug gebracht word naar hotel is zeker niet meer baanvaardig, kraakt langs alle kanten. één positieve noot, we hebben we berggeiten gezien.Benemoths

I was unlucky with the weather when I initially booked this trip; my first two were rescheduled due to rough seas. I'm so glad I rescheduled and went ahead with it! It's easily the best experience I've had in Okinawa. The staff were very helpful and responsive during the scheduling and lead up to the trip, I can't praise them enough. I joined a Japanese tour group despite speaking no Japanese, and it wasn't a problem at all. Forms and information pages were all in English and the guides were patient and helpful. As for the whales: they were wonderful. We had been out on the boat for only ten or fifteen minutes when we saw the first one, and several more times we saw more and more. When we found a spot with whales the captain angled the boat around to give us a good view. As we returned to port we even saw a whale breaching! It was all fabulous. I was picked up and dropped off near my hotel, so it was very convenient for me. I highly recommend this trip if you're at all interested in whale watching while you're in Naha.paolarD4753UK

Had such a great time! We saw the whales really up close and the ride to the location was so peaceful, with such a beautiful view. The boat didn’t feel crowded and the pictures were taken for us. Definitely recommend.

My family had a blast. Seeing the whales up close was an amazing experience. The tour guides were excellent and very accommodating. They spoke English for those who could not understand Japanese. Definitely recommend taking this tour.
