All Reviews for Cruises

Low visibility but I manage to see some of the fishes and the reefs. I would recommend this trip for couples.

The foreign captain who speaks fluent Japanese is an entertainer on par with Disneyland. From the moment we checked in, we were greeted with a wonderful smile. He provided explanations with a good tempo, sprinkled with jokes, much like a DJ. Steering the boat like a roller coaster, he turned left and right, and at times jumped between waves, making the experience exciting. Not only was he skilled at maneuvering the boat, but his attention and care for all the passengers were perfect. And the Blue Cave was a deeper blue than I had imagined! Although it was a cloudy day, the captain's words that it looked more beautiful than on a sunny day turned out to be true.

日本語ペラペラの外国人船長さんは、ディズニーランド級のエンターテイナー。受付時から、素晴らしい笑顔でのおもてなしでした。DJのようにテンポ良く、ジョークを散りばめた説明をしてくれます。ジェットコースターのごとく、右に左に舵を切り、時には波と波の間をジャンプして、エキサイティングに進みます。ボート操縦だけでなく、乗客全員への目配り、気配りも完璧。そして、想像していたよりも濃いブルーだった青の洞窟！当日は曇り空でしたが、晴れの日よりもキレイに見えるという船長さんの言葉はホントでした。

I used this service because I wanted to show my young daughter the underwater world. The price was reasonable, and all the staff were very kind, making for a very enjoyable time. We moved to Coral Point while sitting on the deck, and after arriving at the point, we moved to the bottom of the boat, which felt like being submerged in the sea. I was impressed by that system alone. We were able to see many fish, and my daughter was very satisfied. Additionally, at Motobu Genki Village, there were many activities, including playing with dolphins, which we participated in on-site. I am grateful for the memorable experience I had with my daughter.

幼い娘に海の中を見せたくて利用しました。
お値段もお手頃な上にスタッフの方々も皆さん親切で、とても楽しい時間でした。
コーラルポイントまで甲板に座り移動し、ポイントに着いてから船底に移動しそこの部分が海の中に入る感じでした。そのシステムだけでも感激でした。そして、沢山のお魚を見ることが出来て娘も大満足でした。
また、こちらのもとぶげんき村ではイルカと遊べたりと他にも沢山のアクティビティがあり現地で参加させて頂きました。
思い出深い体験を娘とできた事を感謝致します。

Since it’s a natural experience, there was uncertainty about whether we would see anything, but fortunately, we were able to see orcas. They were quite close, and since they were in a pod, we could see several orcas swimming in a straight line. Additionally, we also saw dolphins and seabirds. Depending on the time and day, there may be differences, but I encourage anyone interested to participate. However, one point to note is that for those coming from Utoro, please make sure to dress warmly. The temperature can be significantly different over the sea, sometimes more than 10 degrees. It’s definitely better to be prepared.

自然のものなので、見れるかどうかというところではありましたが、
幸いなことに、シャチが見れました。
かなり近くで、しかも群れであったのでタ頭数のシャチたちが
横一列になって泳ぐ姿が見れました。
さらに、イルカに、海鳥たちも。
時間、日によって、違いはあるのかもしれませんが、
ぜひ興味のある方はご参加を。
ただ、1点注意が、ウトロの方から来られる方は
ぜひ、防寒対策を。
気温が、海の上ということはあるのでしょうが、10度以上違うことも。
ぜひ、対策されておいた方がいいですよ。

The captain was really nice from the very beginning. Our plan started at 9 AM, and we were supposed to gather at 8:30, but we arrived a bit early and the captain was busy preparing the boat, cleaning, and fueling it. However, he welcomed us without any unpleasant expression (you know, the kind you sometimes encounter) and engaged with us while preparing, making us feel excited. At that moment, I already felt glad to have joined this cruise.

Of course, the cruise itself was amazing! The sea was crystal clear, and it was beautiful to see the bottom! The Blue Cave was truly stunning with its beautiful blue color, and I was moved! We were taken to many other attractions besides the Blue Cave, and the detailed explanations (with some puns) made it very enjoyable. There were seats prepared on the deck, and sitting down felt nice while we could feel the speed of the boat. When standing, there were places to hold on to, which allowed us to feel the speed even more, and the view opened up, creating a wonderful feeling! When we stood or sat, the captain would slightly ease the steering, and overall, the attention to customers was impressive!

Even when it’s sunny, it can feel a bit chilly in summer if you’re lightly dressed. Since there’s sunlight, it’s a good idea to bring a light jacket. The captain also asked, “Aren’t you cold?” On our way back to the port, birds flew around, probably thinking they would get some food. (laughs)

Since this was the last plan of my trip to Hokkaido, I was able to enjoy it and end on a high note, which was the best!

名物船長さんが最初からすごく良い感じの方でした。9時からのプランで8時半集合なのですが、少し早めに到着してしまいまだ船長さんが船の掃除やらガソリンをいれるやらで準備に忙しくされていました。でも、嫌な顔（時々いるじゃないですかー）ひとつせず私たちをむかえてくださって、準備をしながらも私たちに話しかけて盛り上げてくださり、ここでもうすでにこの人のクルーズに参加して良かったと思いました。
もちろんクルーズ自体も最高！海が透き通って底が見えてとても綺麗でした！青の洞窟も本当に綺麗な青で感動！青の洞窟以外の見所にも沢山連れて行ってもらえて、丁寧な説明（ダジャレあり）もあり、とても楽しめました。デッキにも席が用意されており、座っても気持ち良い感じで船のスピードを感じられるし、つかまるところがあるので立って乗ると、よりスピードを感じることができ景色が開けてとても良い気持ち！立ったり座ったりするときは船の操縦も少しゆるくしてくださったりと、とにかくお客さんへの対応が感動もの！
晴れてても薄着だと夏でも少し寒いです。日差しもあるので、1枚羽織って行くと良いですよ。
船長さんも「寒くないですかー？」と聞いてくれます。港に帰るとき餌をもらえるとおもってか鳥が飛んできます。（笑）
北海道旅行最後のプランだったので、良い気持ちで楽しめて終えることができ最高でした！

Grandpa and grandma, who came from the countryside, also had a great time with their grandchildren! Despite the unfortunate rain, it was so much fun that it didn't matter at all.

田舎から出てきたおじいちゃんとおばあちゃんも孫たちと一緒に楽しめました♪
あいにくの雨でしたが、それも関係ないくらい楽しかったです。

I was surprised by how fast it was, but the captain's stories were interesting, and the enchanting scenery is unforgettable. I definitely want to ride again!

思っていたよりもスピードが早くて驚きましたが、船長さんのお話も面白く、幻想的な風景は忘れられません。また是非乗りたいです！

During the actual cruising experience, not only was the captain's talk engaging, but I was able to experience everything through my eyes and ears, as well as the smells and temperatures... the sensation of fully immersing myself was something that could only be felt in that moment.

実際のクルージングでは船長さんのトークはもちろん、目から耳から、匂いや温度まで体感できて…全身で味わう感覚はその場でしか得られないものでした。

There was only one day when our family's schedule matched, so we chose this tour, and it turned out to be a very efficient way to visit the places we wanted to see. I was truly moved by the drift ice, which I wanted to see at least once in my lifetime!

家族のスケジュールが合うのがたった1日しかなかったため、このツアーを選びましたが、大変効率良く見たい場所を回ってくださり、充実したツアーになりました。一生に一度で良いから見たかった流氷には、ひたすら感動しました！

You can see it from the land, but going by boat to get close and experiencing the smells gave me a strange feeling as if I had entered another dimension. The captain brought us closer for a better view, and his stories were very interesting. It felt great to speed through the water and feel the wind, and I was captivated by the beautiful scenery when we returned to Minato Mirai. It's rare to see it from the sea, so I was truly impressed.

陸地でも見る事ができますが、こうしてそばまで船で行って見て、においも感じて、なんだか異次元の世界に入ったような不思議な感覚になりました。
船長さんが見やすいように寄せてくださるし、
お話もとっても面白かったです。
スピードと風をきって走るのも気持ち良いし、
最後にみなとみらいに戻ってきた時の、景色の綺麗さにもうっとり。
海から見る事は滅多にないので、感激しました。

I came from Nagasaki Prefecture and was supposed to meet my daughter, who lives in the city, but she didn't show up even before departure. Thanks to the captain's consideration, we were able to wait until the last minute and made it just in time! I truly appreciate it! Thanks to you, we enjoyed a night cruise together. The night view of the Keihin Industrial Zone and Minato Mirai seen from the sea reflected beautifully on the water.

長崎県から来たのですが、都内に住む娘と現地集合予定でしたが、娘が出発前になっても現れず。船長さんの計らいでギリギリ迄待ってもらってなんとかセーフ！
その節は本当に有り難うございました❗️
お陰で親子でナイトクルーズ楽しめました。京浜工業地帯の夜景と海から見た
みなとみらいは水面に写り最高でした。

The departure at 7:00 PM was right at sunset. The sky, beautifully and mysteriously painted red by the setting sun, was stunning. After the sun went down, the industrial area in the darkness was enchanting, and I never expected the view from the sea to be so beautiful. The captain's stories were also interesting and enjoyable. I definitely recommend experiencing this.

19:00の出航時はちょうど夕暮れ時。
日が沈み夕焼けで赤く染まる空がとてもきれいで神秘的でした。
日が沈んだ後、暗闇の中での工場地帯は幻想的で海から見える景色がこんなに綺麗だとは思いませんでした。
船長さんのお話も興味深く楽しかったです。
是非体験してみてほしいです。

I participated in the first tour at 9:00 AM. The boat has a maximum capacity of 13 people, but there were only 10 of us when I joined. Before boarding, we sanitized our hands, and all participants, including the staff, wore masks. Since it was an outdoor tour, I felt no anxiety. I was first surprised by the fluent Japanese of the famous captain! The fun guiding (with puns) and the boat handling made it very enjoyable.

The "Blue Cave" was truly blue, which lifted my spirits—absolutely the best! There were many other highlights besides the Blue Cave, and I really think you should join the tour to experience them. Since all the participants gathered early when I joined, we set sail 15 minutes before the scheduled time, and the tour ended around 10:20, so I had a very satisfying experience with a great value of 1.5 hours.

If I come to Otaru again, I will definitely book with Kanehide Marine next time.

朝1番の9:00〜のツアーに参加しました。ボート最大乗船可能人数13名の所、私が参加した時は10名でした。乗船前に手の消毒、スタッフを始め参加者全員マスク着用し屋外ツアーと言う事もあり、不安は感じなかったです。名物船長の流暢な日本語にまずビックリ!そして楽しいガイド(ダジャレ)とボートの操縦に、やみつきになりそうでした^_^
『青の洞窟』は本当に海が青くて気分が上がり↑最高！でした。青の洞窟以外の見所も沢山あり、是非それはツアーに参加して体験して欲しいと思います。私が参加した時の参加者の集合が皆さん早かったので、9:00〜の所15分前に出航してくれて、終わり時間は10:20位だったので1.5Hのお得感満載のツアーを体験できて大満足でした。
また、小樽に来る事があったら是非次もカネヒデマリンで予約します。

I've always wanted to see the factory night view! I was very satisfied!
The night view of the factories was really cool, and I was able to take a lot of photos. I want to recommend it to others!

ずっと行ってみたかった工場夜景！大満足でした！
夜の工場夜景は本当にかっこよくて沢山写真を撮れました(^^)人におすすめしたくなります！

The younger adults were excited about the factory night view. I think it's that extraordinary and beautiful. The captain's stories are enjoyable.

良い年下大人が工場夜景にはしゃいでました。それだけ非日常的で綺麗なのかと思います。船長さんのお話、楽しいですよ。

The person who piloted the boat was very entertaining, and I was drawn into the conversation! They frequently checked if anyone was feeling cold or unwell, and they provided cushions for small children to raise their height. I appreciated their thoughtfulness, especially when they helped us move to the deck in a way that made it easier to walk.

There were many breathtaking views of the sea and rocks, and I particularly enjoyed the cave area where we could take our time exploring. The photos were beautiful, but the emotional impact of seeing it in person was incredible.

The person I went with said that even those who are not fond of attractions would get used to this boat! At first, they were gripping the handrails tightly, but by the end, they were comfortable enough to hold on with just one hand!

Sitting on the deck is fun, but standing gives you an interesting feeling as if you are piloting the boat. The wind hits directly, so it might get cold after a long time, but I enjoyed it in short sleeves.

For those who get motion sickness, it's easier to feel queasy when the speed is slow (almost stopped) while looking at the scenery, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

操縦してくれた方がとても面白くて、話に引き込まれました！寒くないか、体調悪くなった人がいないかを度々聞いてくれて、小さい子には高さを上げるためにクッションを用意してくれたり、デッキに座ろうと移動するときには歩きやすいように操縦してくれたりと気遣いが嬉しかったです。
海や岩など絶景がたくさんあり、洞窟エリアはとくにじっくり見ることができて楽しかったです。写真でも綺麗でしたが、やっぱり実際に見た時の感動はすごかったです。
一緒に行った人は、アトラクションが苦手な人でもこの船なら慣れる！と言っていて、最初がっちり掴んでいた手すりを最後には片手でもいけるくらいには慣れてました！
デッキの方に座るのも楽しいですが、立つと操縦してるかのような面白さがあります。風が直で当たるので長い時間は寒くなりそうですが、半袖で楽しめました。
乗り物酔いする人は、景色を見るときにスピードがゆっくり（ほぼ止まっている）ようなときに酔いやすいので、酔い止めおすすめです。

I had a great time!! It was also educational as you explained various places. Thank you very much!

とても楽しかったです！！
いろんな場所を説明してくださって勉強にもなりました。ありがとうございました！
