Muroran Dolphin Watching

You might even encounter orcas!

From spring to summer, you can observe up to 18 species of marine animals, including dolphins, whales, and seals, in the waters near Muroran. You might see minke whales swimming around the boat, watching humans, and sometimes even groups of 500 to 1,000 Dall's porpoises. Occasionally, you can also spot orcas, the largest species in the dolphin family. The tours operate from June to mid-August and end when the dolphins leave. The period during which dolphins can be seen varies each year depending on the water temperature and other climatic conditions. Typically, there are two trips per day, each lasting about 150 minutes.
