Ochiishi Nature Cruise 1,250

April 10th, 2016
<Ochiishi Nature Cruise>    By Eagle
 The first cruise for the new Japanese fiscal year.
During the last fiscal year, 1,050 customers joined our cruise tours. We have really appreciated their supports and understandings to our business.

Today, we enjoyed an increasing number of Rhinoceros Auklets in short distance. They have just arrived from the south in order to breed on two islands called Yururi & Moyururi.
We also encountered 4 Sea Otters. They were sometimes very close to our boat.

In addition, Spectacled Guillemot, White-winged Scoter, Ancient Murrelet, Pigeon Guillemot were birds of special mention.
