Dolphin Tour Encounter Rate Over 90% Aomori Mutsu Bay August 22 14:12
This is a tour that allows you to observe wild dolphins traveling around Mutsu Bay in Aomori Prefecture from a boat.
Mutsu City has been conducting a tour from two years ago that allows visitors to observe the wild “Kamilika” from Mutsu Bay.
Kotono tour was held twice a day from mid-May to late June, and out of 52 operated, 48 were able to encounter wild dolphins, a record high of 92.3%. It was.
This is the third year since the tour began, and information on sightings of dolphins from local fishermen became available, and from now on, it is easy to find dolphins by increasing the number of crew on board.
On the other hand, cancellations due to barges were conspicuous. Of the 88 scheduled flights, 36 flights, or 40%, were canceled.
In preparation for next year's operation, Mutsu City said that it would like to further enhance the attraction of tourists by offering new benefits in the event of cancellation or failure to meet dolphins. I would like to secure repeaters through collaboration with other tourism resources and the development of new tourism resources. "
