Why not come to Nagannu and see these majestic whales up close? Every year, humpback whales return from Alaska to the waters around the Kerama Islands to breed and raise their young. Their courtship battles, parenting activities, and spectacular performances (surface behaviors) in the open ocean make them one of the most fascinating whale species to observe.
