FAQ
How do I get to Ogasawara?
The only access is a 24-hour ferry ride from Tokyo (Takeshiba Pier). There is no airport. The ferry runs approximately once per week, so trips require at minimum 6 days.
Can I swim with the dolphins?
Yes, free-swimming encounters with wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins are the signature experience. Operators locate pods by boat and offer in-water encounters.
What makes Ogasawara unique for diving?
The extreme remoteness (1,000 km from mainland Japan) means pristine conditions, endemic species found nowhere else, and virtually no other divers.
