Whale, Dolphin & Bird Watching

Summer

Whale, Dolphin & Bird Watching

Late April to Mid-October

Watch sperm whales, killer whales, dolphins, and shearwaters up close!

Sperm whales blow out water and powerfully flip the tail. Dolphins and killer whales swim gorgeously. Large groups of shearwaters fly over. What makes these sceneries more dynamic is the view of the Shiretoko Mountain Range and Kunashir Island (one of the Northern Territories) on the opposite shore. You and the staff will be cruising as looking for whales and birds. On finding animals, the staff announces on speaker and explain about their ecology, characteristics and behaviors. Here exists the real nature that you have never experienced. Your cruise will not end up in just a whale watching. It sure is a unique cruise to Rausu which lets you explore various animals.
