About this experience
The Okinawa Glass Bottom Boat Tour allows you to see vibrant marine life in a more immersive experience than an aquarium. Through the Orca, a semi-submersible sightseeing boat that accommodates up to 160 passengers, you can observe the tropical fish and coral reefs in their natural habitat, making you feel like you're at the bottom of the sea. With a comfortable and stable hull, the Orca ensures that you can appreciate your ocean journey without worrying about seasickness.

The tour may be cancelled or rescheduled if sea conditions or weather make it unsafe to sail. If this happens, you will be notified and offered an alternative arrangement.

How much does it cost for children?

There are four daily sailings: 10:00, 11:30, 14:00 and 15:30. The morning departures tend to have calmer seas; afternoon light can make the underwater colours particularly vivid.
