All Reviews for Cruises

Wonderful staff created a hospitable, welcoming experience. The entertainment was interactive and enjoyable. The food was good, especially the tempura. All you can drink was a huge plus. All around great, memorable experience. If you have the money to spare, you’ll probably have a great time too.

First of all, the staff's service is outstanding. There were five staff members on board, and they responded quickly to everything from serving food to providing additional drinks. Celebrations for birthdays and other occasions were lively, and the lion dance performance was also enjoyable.

The boat stops at the Tokyo Skytree and Odaiba, allowing you to go up to the deck during that time. I was able to take photos while feeling the pleasant breeze. They were also very accommodating when it came to taking pictures with the boat in the background and with a staff member who resembled Kei Nishikori. I would love to bring my family again.

まず一番はスタッフの対応が素晴らしいです。五名のスタッフが乗船してましたが、配膳から追加の飲み物まで素早く対応してくれます。誕生日などのお祝いも盛り上がりましたし、獅子舞などのパフォーマンスも楽しかったです。
スカイツリーやお台場では停船し、その間デッキに上がる事ができます。心地よい風を感じながら写真撮影ができました。帰り際の船をバックにした写真撮影や、錦織そっくりのスタッフとの記念撮影も気持ちよく応じてくれました。また家族をつれて行きたいです。

Don't drink or like raw food while sitting on floor. Waste of money.

I can’t say enough on how great this dinner was. Staff were excited, friendly, and perfectly bilingual. If you’re having any doubts, cast them aside. This dinner cruise is most certainly worth it. 10/10 would recommend to a friend, would do again.

The night views and factory flames are not attractions, so there seems to be some variability depending on the day (on the day I participated, they mentioned it was a medium flame). There were some disappointing aspects, but when we reached the highlights, they made an effort to guide us to good viewing spots and opened the windows for better visibility, which conveyed their desire for us to enjoy the experience. At one point, we went to the front of the boat and picked up some speed, adding an element of excitement. In the end, we were able to see the beautiful night view of Minato Mirai, making it a satisfying tour.

夜景や工場の炎などはアトラクションではないので当たり外れは日のよって有るようで（参加日は中くらいの炎と言ってました）残念な部分も有りましたが見どころの場所に来ると見やすい場所への案内や見えやすいように窓を開けてくれたりなど一生懸命楽しんでもらおうとしていてくれた感じが伝わりました。
途中船の先端に出てちょっとスピードを出してくれたりアトラクション的要素も有り、最後はみなとみらいのきれいな夜景も見れ満足できるツアーでした。

Very cool, unique experience! Especially great if you sit outside in the back of the boat to get the full experience.

Great food,excellent staff, & awesome endless drinks.

There are various types of cruises, but the factory night view was a completely new experience for me, as if I had come to another planet. The captain's explanations were excellent, and I heard many interesting stories about the port and the ship. On the way back, the ship got very close to the Ferris wheel, and I was able to go out on deck and enjoy an exhilarating view of the Ferris wheel and the hotels from directly below. It was amazing!

クルーズにもいろいろありますが、工場夜景は全く初めての経験で、まるで別の星に来てしまったのかと思うような経験でした。船長さんの説明が絶品で、港や船に関して興味深いお話をたくさん伺いました。また、帰りには観覧車のすぐ近くまで船を寄せて、甲板に出していただき、真下から観覧車やホテル群を眺めるという心躍る体験をすることができました。最高でした！

The weather was calm with relatively low waves, but unfortunately, the visibility was not great. I was hoping to see a bit more colorful tropical fish.

割合浪の少ない穏やかな天候でしたが残念ながら透明度がイマイチでした。
もう少し色とりどり熱帯魚を期待していました。

I took a submarine sightseeing tour for the first time. The underwater fish and coral were more beautiful than I expected. The color of the sea water was clear, and I want to ride the submarine sightseeing tour again when I come to Okinawa next time.
After that, I went to the hotel buffet, and the variety and taste of the food were good.

初めて水中観光船に乗りました。思った以上に水中の魚や珊瑚がきれいでした。海の水の色の透き通っており、次に沖縄に来た時にも、水中観光船に乗りたいと思います。
その後、ホテルバイキングに行きましたが、食べ物の種類も味も良かったです。

I invited my parents to celebrate my father's birthday. Unfortunately, the weather was not great that day, but they were delighted with the unique experience of being on a yakatabune (a traditional Japanese houseboat). The boat stopped at a viewpoint, and we enjoyed the night view. Additionally, the interaction with the people at the neighboring seats was wonderful, making it the best birthday celebration.

父の誕生日のお祝いに両親を招待しました。当日はあいにくの天気でしたが、屋形船という非日常を喜んでくれました。ビューポイントでは船が泊り、夜景を堪能しました。また、隣席の方々との交流も素敵で、最高の誕生祝いとなりました。

It was a Thursday on a weekday, so it wasn't too crowded and I enjoyed it. The hotel buffet was also delicious. I recommend it.

平日の木曜日だったんのでそんな混んでなくて楽しめました。
ホテルのバイキングもうまかったです。お勧めします。

A thrilling and exciting factory night view cruise! The shining factories illuminated against the night sky were enchanting! The close encounters unique to the meat-eating small boats were astonishing! The attractions held towards the end were full of thrills!

The captain's talk is somehow addictive, haha!

どきどきわくわくの工場夜景クルーズ！夜の闇に浮かび上がる、輝く工場は幻想的でした！肉食系小型船ならではの接近戦は度肝を抜かれます！終盤に行われるアトラクションもスリル満点！

船長さんのトークがなんだかクセになります笑

I boarded with my 2-year-old child. As we left Naha Port and arrived at the point where the fish are, I was thrilled to see a sea turtle swimming right away! My child was also very happy, calling out "Turtle, turtle!" We were able to see a lot of coral reefs and fish, and it was great to see my child enjoying themselves. In the pre-trip briefing, it was mentioned that the visibility was 3 (cloudy but visible), but I think it was clearer than I had imagined. It wasn't as sharp as in an aquarium or underwater camera, but adults enjoyed it too.

2歳の子供と乗船しました。
那覇港を出て魚のいるポイントに着いたところで早速ウミガメが泳いでいて感動しました！子供もカメさんカメさんと大喜び。サンゴ礁もお魚も沢山見ることが出来、子供が楽しんでいる姿を見られて良かったです。
事前の説明では透明度は3(濁っているが見える)でしたが想像していたより見えたと思います。水族館や水中カメラのようなクッキリ具合ではありませんが、大人も楽しめました。

The weather was a bit bad, but we were able to enjoy underwater sightseeing. Since it was still February and a bit chilly, I was glad I could enjoy the sea without getting in the water. It was very popular with foreigners as well.

天気が少し悪かったですが、水中観光をすることができました。まだ2月で肌寒い時期だったので、水に入らず海を満喫できてよかったです。外国人の方にもすごく人気でした。

The underwater sightseeing was great. I was able to see clearly underwater, and they scatter food, so the fish come to gather around. The hotel buffet exceeded my expectations☆ It was delicious.

水中観光良かったです。
海の中もしっかりと見れましたし、餌をまいてくれるから魚も集まって来てくれます。
ホテルのビュッフェも期待以上でした☆
美味しかったですよ。

Before boarding, there is an explanation of the current wave conditions and water clarity. I believe the wave conditions are divided into four levels. On the day I boarded, it was at the "waves present" level, but the waves weren't too strong. The water clarity is also divided into four levels. On the day I boarded, it was at the "slightly murky" level, but I could see the fish and coral very well, which was great.

I participated alone, but both children and adults can enjoy it.

乗船する前に、本日の揺れ具合、透明度の説明があります。揺れ具合は確か4段階に分かれていたと思います。私が乗船した日は、「揺れます」レベルでしたが、それほど大きな揺れではありませんでした。透明度のレベルも4段階に分かれていたと思います。私が乗船した日は「少し濁っています」レベルでしたが、お魚もサンゴ礁も良く見え、とても良かったです。
私は一人で参加しましたが、子供も大人も楽しめます。

I participated in a factory night view tour for the first time. Before the tour, the meeting place and time were changed, but I received very polite communication about it.

As for the tour, the female guide's explanations were very skillful, and I could feel her love for the local area. The next day, I saw the same scenery during the day, and thanks to that, I was able to understand the factory better!

初めて、工場夜景ツアーに参加しました。参加前に集合場所と時間が変更になりましたが、とても丁寧な連絡を頂きました。
ツアーですが、案内役の女性の説明がとても上手で、地元愛が感じられました。翌日は昼間に同じ景色を見ましたが、お陰様で工場を理解しやすかったです！

It was a great experience since I don't often have the opportunity to ride on a submarine. It would have been nice if there was sushi for the hotel lunch. There was chirashi sushi, but the sweet denbu was a bit much.

水中船もなかなか乗る
機会が無いので良い体験でした。
ホテルランチに寿司が有ると良かった。
チラシ寿司は、有りましたが
でんぶが甘いからねー。

The water was a bit murky, but I was thrilled to see so many fish coming close to me. The lunch at the Pacific Hotel was also great, with a variety of desserts, and the atmosphere inside was spacious and comfortable.

少し海の中は濁りは有りましたが、お魚が
近くに沢山寄って来てくれて感激しました。
パシフィックホテルのランチもデザートが充実していて店内もゆったりしていて良かったです

When the ship was about to depart, there was a delay in collecting the boarding passes (plastic numbered tickets), which caused some trouble, but the sea and the fish were beautiful and met my expectations.

船が出発するとき、乗船券(プラスチック板の番号札)の回収に手間取り、なかなか出発しないトラブルがありましたが、海や魚はきれいで期待通りでした。

We did this cruise on the last saturday in December, and had so much fun! The food was tasty, the sake and beer was abundant, and the staff was charming. The whole activity was family friendly, and we saw people with small children and grandmothers in tow. We were lucky to be in Tokyo when they had fireworks on the rainbow bridge, and it was the best fireworks I’ve ever seen! There was also a traditional entertainer on board, who engaged everyone in a couple of party games. Although we didn’t understand everything that was happening, everyone was gracious and several people in our group took part. I would highly recommend one of these cruises.

It was disappointing that the visibility in the sea was not very good due to the heavy rain two days before the tour. I would like to participate next time when the visibility is better.

ツアーの前々日の大雨のため、海の中があまりよく見えなかったのが残念でした。次回は、よく見える時に参加したいです。

Suitable for both young and old, a unique experience to view underwater without needing to go scuba diving.

Would definitely recommend!

There was a mistake about the time of the reservation. I booked for 6pm and we waited for over an hour because the 6pm dinner cruise was not available. Apparently only the 7 pm dinner cruise is available on weeknights. Veltra did confirm our booking at 6 though. There was definitely a disconnect.

Once we got onto the boat, things were good. We had a good time and the atmosphere was fun.

We will depart near Asahibashi. I was worried because it was raining, but the visibility in the water was good. There is also an explanation about the water's clarity before departure, which is reassuring. Small children were very happy.

旭橋近くから出航します。雨が降っていて心配でしたが海の中はよく見えました。
出航前に海の透明度の説明もあるので安心です。小さい子どもは大喜び。

Nice food, very friendly service.
The firework was a surprise for us: it was just fantastic.
Night view of Tokyo bay is amazing.
We recommend it to anyone!

We went on the Yakatabune Dinner Cruise in late October 2018. The directions to the port were clear and easy to follow. Very easy to get to via the subway (Oedo Line - Kachidoki station). I made sure I printed the Veltra voucher emailed to me. When I got to the pier, I showed the attendant the voucher and he directed us to the boat.

Once everyone boarded, they explained everything in Japanese and English (although the English was not great, it was understandable). The food served was delicious. I tried some new things I would never have ordered if I were to pick from a menu. The food kept coming, they served six types of tempura, and it was filling. All you can drink beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) was good too. We had several rounds of sake.

At several locations the boat stopped for picture taking upstairs above the main eating area. It was nice that this was an option. Several people went upstairs to take in the sights during the dinner. The party I was with enjoyed ourselves and the meal, it looked like the other parties enjoyed themselves as well.

If I had the chance, I would go again and would specifically seek the Harumiya Yakatabune cruise because of the wonderful experience

I signed up for this tour hoping my Korean boyfriend would have a unique experience in Hokkaido.

The tour guide was skilled in both Japanese and English, allowing us to enjoy his fun jokes in either language.

The journey to the cave was thrilling, and the blue cave felt like a Disneyland attraction, which was exciting. The emerald green was truly beautiful, and my boyfriend was very impressed.

Unfortunately, my iPhone ran out of battery, so I couldn't take any photos, but the guide kindly offered to charge it for me. He was very service-oriented.

I've visited Otaru several times, but this was my first experience like this. I definitely recommend it to both international visitors and Japanese people.

韓国人の彼が北海道に遊びに来ると行くことで珍しい経験が出来たらと思い申し込みました。

ツアーガイドさんは日本語も英語も上手な方で、彼の楽しいジョークをどちらの言語でも楽しむことが出来ました。

洞窟に着くまでの移動も迫力満点でしたが、青い洞窟はディズニーランドのアトラクションのようでわくわくしました。エメラルドグリーンが本当に綺麗で彼もとても驚いてくれました。

途中でiPhoneの充電が切れてしまい写真が撮れなくなってしまったのですが、ガイドさんが快く充電して下さりました。とてもサービス精神が旺盛な方でした。
小樽に何度か訪れたことはありますが、このような体験は始めてです。海外の方は勿論、日本の方にも是非参加していただきたいです。

I participated with a friend. The guide was a cheerful self-proclaimed Earthling (Russian) captain. It's a covered boat, so it's safe for those who can't swim or are afraid of water, and you can also feel the wind outside. The journey has a bit of an attraction feel to it, making it enjoyable on its own.

Fortunately, we had the boat to ourselves, so I took a lot of photos, and I could feel the thoughtfulness in things like slowing down the boat. The Blue Grotto is undoubtedly beautiful. It's worth seeing. You can enjoy it with family, friends, or a partner.

友人との参加でした。
陽気な自称地球人（ロシア人）の船長の案内です。屋根のあるボートで泳げない方、水の怖い方でも安心ですし、外に出て風を感じる事もできます。道中はちょっとしたアトラクション感覚で、これだけでも楽しいです。

運良く貸切状態だったので、写真を撮りまくってしまいましたが、たぶんボートのスピード落とすなど、心使いも感じました。
青の洞窟は間違いなくキレイです。見る価値はあります。家族、友人、恋人、どなたとでも楽しめますよ。
