Whale Watching in the Kerama Islands

Humpback whales are migrating right now in the sub-tropical waters along Okinawa and through the Keramas, which is a small island chain just an hour boat ride away. 
We think they might be the most gorgeous islands we’ve ever seen and watching these beautiful behemoth mammals jumping through the water just off of them was incredible.
Have you gone whale watching before? Maybe off of Cali?

If you’re looking for an idea for dinner tonight, I’m sharing one of our favorite meals on my friend Kelly’s blog, Eat Yourself Skinny (:

    Wow, these pictures are incredible! Isn't whale watching one of the most magical experiences ever 🙂 I went once in Boston and there were so many whales everywhere I couldn't believe it!

    Happy Monday!

    SOOOOO incredible girl! I love the 2nd to last one. We got to go whale watching off Vancouver 2 years ago and got caught in a super pod…85 killer whales…it was amazing. I will never forget it!

    I love the ocean and I love swimming in it but I am DEATHLY afraid of whales. Like, I have major issues with them. Even so, I think these photos are gorgeous. I cannot believe how perfectly you captured them.

    Hi there, we are very blessed that the whales come visit us in Cape Town every October…….One more reason to visit stunning, sunny South Africa!!!

    Have a great day.

    PS before I go down for some whale watching I need some photography lessons!!! Your pics are amazing.

    Amazing pictures! I went whale watching this time last year in Maui, and I got about 100 pictures of a dark mass in the ocean that looks like it could or could not be a whale. We saw a lot of great breaches, but my camera was not up to snuff. Have a great week!

    How awesome! Whale watching is on my bucket list (as I'm sure it is on most peoples!) They are such awesome animals!
    Oh, I read your section "Our Love Story" the other day as I was catching up on blogs and I must say that it is inspiring! I love how you sent him cookies and called him 🙂 I'll have to do that when I meet a man that strikes my fancy! And if you know any single military men, send them my way! 😉

    Gorgeous photos! I've been whale watching near where I grew up outside of SF, but I've never seen something quite like this! xo

    I love humpbacks! We went whale watching here in Oregon last month (gray whales!) but they were about 2 miles off the coast so we could only see them through binoculars (still just unfathomably beautiful!)

    Gorgeous pictures!!

    Found you via your guest post over at Kelly's blog and I'm so so glad I hopped over! Three of my friends here in NC just found out they're moving to Japan so I'm already plotting a visit out there… though I might end up getting stationed there too (usmc wife here!) — so so nice to meet ya!

    wonderful pictures!! I have been whale watching off cape cod and it was simply breathtaking! looking forward to see some more here in Australia!!

  28. Emily says

    Oh my goodness! These pictures are spectacular! For whatever reason….I've never gone whale watching, despite living in Cali and Australia 🙁 I would love to and your pictures are definitely the kick in the butt I needed. Of course, I also need to figure out the right time of year.

  29. Candice says

    Truly amazing! It's a bit odd that I haven't seen any here in NZ (that I can remember)…although recently I nearly did on the ferry between the Nth & Sth islands. Definitely a must see, I think!
