Zamami island is a small paradise in the Kerama archipelago, 50 minutes from Okinawa (Naha) by ferry.
Zamami Island is 24 kilometers in circumference. The sea around the island is a mecca for divers, and there are many scuba shops on the island. The high clarity of the water offers the excitement and fascination of diving to many, from beginners to experienced veterans. In addition, Ama Beach and Furuzamami Beach have a campground so that visitors can enjoy camping and swimming. Visitors can also enjoy the beautiful scenery from the top of Mt.Takatsukiyama and visit the Kerama Maritime Museum. Zamami Island is also known as a good whale watching spot. Visitors can see dramatic breachings (leaping clear out of the water) by the humpback whales during the January-April season.
