Whale Encounter Beach

A fish pen is set up in the bathing area, and at a scheduled time, cute small whales are released from the pen, allowing you to observe the whales up close, unlike anywhere else. Since the water is deep where the whales swim, having a floatation device is recommended for a more enjoyable experience when bringing children.
