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?

ReplyDeleteStunning captures!
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!

ReplyDeleteSOOOOO 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical experience! Wow!
ReplyDeleteMuch love, Bailey from Vanilla Blonde
Amanda, you have a beautiful blog and your photography is stunning. Seems like you're living quite the adventure in Japan! Looking forward to more from you.

ReplyDeleteWow - what fantastic photos! When we were in Hawaii we saw whales breaching and it was just the coolest thing ever! such beautiful animals!
ReplyDeleteHi 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!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

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!
ReplyDeletewe just went whale watching off newport coast in So Cal.. no whales, but we did see two kinds of dolphins- pacific bottlenose & rizzo.. too cool.. but your pictures, of WHALES, are awesome (:
ReplyDeleteWow, those whale photos are incredible! Thanks for sharing! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! Whale watching is on my bucket list (as I'm sure it is on most peoples!) They are such awesome animals!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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! ;)
Woooow, these pictures are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I've been whale watching near where I grew up outside of SF, but I've never seen something quite like this! xo
ReplyDeleteI 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!)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures!!
Oooh, we're going whale watching pretty soon too! Sometime before March! I hope we see as many as you saw! :-)

What an amaZing experience and how fantastic are your photos!?!?
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the whales are gorgeous! I've gone on a few whale watches in Cape Cod, MA and have loved them.
ReplyDeleteYour life in Japan is like a dream! I love seeing your beautiful photography!
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures!! I have been whale watching off cape cod and it was simply breathtaking! looking forward to see some more here in Australia!!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteTruly 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!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Wow.
ReplyDeleteI've never been whale watching before... but we're going to Hawaii in May so hopefully then??
These photos are so gorgeous!
