Whale watching in Oki! - The staff was fantastic and I loved that they knew the spots to see the whales. I had a great day out on the water and highly recommend this trip.

Last tour of the whale migration season (31.3.24). - We booked the last tour of the whale migration season where they would give a refund if you don’t see any whales or dolphins. Rose early and parked at a pier nearby. The marine club has a toilet and some souvenirs for sale. A minibus took us to the pier where we boarded a boat. Best to go up deck. After a 40-45min ride, around off shore near Chatan, we spotted a mom and calf humpback breaching and blowing and doing what whales do. We were around 500m away from the whales. My teen didn’t find the experience as exciting as I did. Once the whale dived down it takes 5-10min before it resurfaces. Worth getting a phone camera with a zoom.

Fun Trip - We were able to see a mother and her calf and then later a male whale came which was impressive.
My wife and I didn't get sea sick but several other people did. I would recommend taking sea sickness medication before the trip if you think you may be susceptible to sea sickness.

Whale watching - Good afternoon out and although took a little time, the whales didn't disappoint. Plenty of time to see everything going on. Take the advice to take a warm jacket. Even on a warm day, the sea breeze is cold.

Whales on a Sunday afternoon - The booking process was very easy and done quickly. For the rest, I was kept informed of the developments of the tour via emails. I also found the explanation by means of a video for parking the car very clear and well done. The tour itself was also good and it was a spacious boat. Maybe a little short on seating for so many people. It was a 2-storey boat with a roof. We certainly saw whales and I think that the animals are treated respectfully because enough distance is kept.

Not recommend. - Not recommended. Didn't see much but a tail for 2 seconds. Highly not recommend for someone has motion sickness. A lot of people vomiting during the 3 hours trip. The ship can hold 40 passengers and has two toilets in it. The day I took this trip was too windy and with big wave. Not quite enjoyed it.
