Battleship Island Tour from Nagasaki with English Audio Guide
Overall Rating

good tour and worth the money and time ✅
Reviewed by: Anila, 2019/04/07The English audio should have more detail - otherwise it was a good tour and worth the money and time ✅
Well organised and I was able to book online the previous day and get immediate confirmation.
No trouble at all and the pick up point was convenient at the Tokiwa terminal. The tour guides were very good - but all the commentary was in Japanese. The English audio service was good but very brief and repetitive.

A great tour — fun day
Reviewed by: John and Janet, 2018/07/29This was an amazing experience and fun to do. The English audio could be improved but thus just adds to the experience. Some English brochures of the tour would be really useful. Other than that, remember to bring plenty of sun protection as it got very hot.

Glad I went
Reviewed by: Mi-ko, 2015/04/09Normally the boat is for up to 130 people, but because of safety inspection, we changed and went on the tour in a small boat of 45 people (Since its speed was slower than the normal boat, we had to come 15 minutes earlier.) I was worried because I had thought a larger boat would shake less. But I did not become seasick because I took medicine for motion sickness.
There were nearly 40 people, so it was really crowded in the boat. I had difficulty even when moving for taking pictures. Usually it will be less crowded.
The person who gave an explanation to us said that he lived and worked on Gunkanjima Island. He also talked about his life there, which was interesting.
I participated alone, but one of the staff told me that he would take my picture for me at each spot. So I asked him sevral times and I could be in photos. Thank you very much. Although I was the only female participant, some men took photos with their big SLR. Most of the participants were friends, adult families and couples.
Since I participated in the afternoon tour, when I saw the panoramic view of the Gunkanjima Island on the way back, it was against the sun. And its silhouette stood out. Many of the photos I took when I came closer to the island were bright.

To Gunkanjima!
Reviewed by: Miadora, 2015/03/04First I scheduled to join the tour on the 17th (Morning), but I checked the weather forecast one week in advance and booked afternoon trip after arriving in Nagasaki from Tokyo instead. The tour was excellent! My biggest purpose in traveling to Nagasaki was to see the island, so I was very pleased. Depending on the weather the tour might be cancelled or landing on the island may not be possible, so I think those planning to join should check weather information in advance.
