About this experience

What to expect

The Naruto Strait is located between Naruto and Awaji Island, the junction of the Seto Inland Sea and the Kii Waterway, and the Strait of Messina between the Italian peninsula and the Sicily peninsula, and the Huhu between the west coast of North America and the east coast of Vancouver Island. The Ann de Fuca Strait is also known as the world's three major eddies. The water drop here is as high as 1.5m when the tide rises and falls, and the tide speed is as high as 15-20km per hour. Therefore, countless vortices of different sizes are produced, and the diameter of the large vortex is as long as 20m. It is a world-famous vortex, which is breathtaking. The whirlpool landscape of Naruto can be viewed from a close distance by a tourist boat, or from the 45-meter-high sky from the vortex road inside the Onaruto Bridge that spans the Naruto Strait.
