Half-day Kerama Islands whale watch from Naha for $37 with pickup, 1-hour whale spotting, possible dolphins, and digital photos.

“We saw a whale, it was amazing, the cruise itself was a very good experience. The staff was so kind and the hotel pick up is well organized. It is recommended to dress warmly because the weather is cold and very windy in January and take medicine against seasickness.”

Naha: “Orca” Spotting Glass Bottom Boat & Sam’s Famous Steak

Naha: "Orca" Spotting Glass Bottom Boat & Sam’s Famous Steak - Meet at Naha Port, then glide to the glass windows

4.Naha: “Orca” Spotting Glass Bottom Boat & Sam’s Famous Steak

★ 3.8

Ride the glass-bottom Orca boat in Naha, then eat a real teppanyaki lunch at Sam’s Sailor Inn on Kokusai Street.

“It was not a tour. With the boat it stayed within the port area and had to take turns for the glass bottom. There were speakers with annoying voiced in asian languages with no translation throughout and super loud. That being said, the restaurant was very good teppanyaki - nicely surprised. Good value for money…”
