All Reviews for Cruises

I was concerned about the murkiness of the sea in warm Okinawa, but despite being in the bay, it looked beautiful and I was very satisfied. I've heard that the water clarity is higher in winter, so I would like to go in winter next time.

暖かい沖縄なので海の濁りが気になっていましたが。湾内にも関わらず綺麗に見え大変満足しました。冬のほうが海の透明度が高いらしいとのこと次は冬にいきたいと思います。

The weather was perfect, and the sea breeze was refreshing, but perhaps due to a nearby typhoon, the water was slightly murky. However, it was great to see plenty of fish. For lunch, I went to a hotel nearby, and although I didn't have high expectations, I found a surprisingly wide variety of dishes. It was a satisfying lunch overall. The prices were reasonable, so I would like to use it again.

天気は最高で、海風が爽やかでしたが、台風が近隣を通過していたせいか、やや海底が濁り気味でした、でも魚は沢山いたのが見えて良かったです。ランチはすぐ近くのホテルで、あまり期待していなかったのですが、行って見ると思っていたよりも品数豊富、普通に満足できるランチでした。価格もお手頃なのでまた利用したいと思います。

Participating was definitely the right choice. The captain was kind, and the factory night view can only be described as amazing. Along the way, the boat stopped at a beautiful night view spot, and I really enjoyed walking on the narrow deck while feeling the thrill.

参加して大正解でした。
船長さんもやさしく、また、工場夜景は最高のひとことに尽きます。
途中、夜景のきれいなスポットで船が停泊し、スリルを感じながら幅の狭いデッキの上をあるいたりして、とても楽しみました。

I went to this dinner with my mother and we both had an amazing time. There were several other people from overseas there and they introduced all of us and where we were from, which was sweet. I speak Japanese, but it was almost not necessary as everyone spoke English well. The MC translated pretty much everything into English so everyone could understand. Also, the Japanese locals were kind and joking around with us, so we felt completely comfortable.

The food was very good. And there was a LOT. I see some reviews saying there wasn't enough food, but if you eat all of it and have a reasonable amount of drinks, you will not leave hungry. Obviously it is a traditional Japanese meal, so be prepared to eat Japanese food!! - raw fish, fish cakes, sweet red beans, etc. If you don't like the food, of course you might leave hungry, but you're in Japan so you should try it...

The atmosphere of the evening started out calm, but then it turned into a party. There was singing, a dragon running around pretending to bite people's heads, and taking pictures with giant beer bottles. This might not make sense now, but it will. Harumiya does a great job at entertaining. I was laughing the whole time. So, if you're thinking about going to this dinner, you definitely should.

I was satisfied with the staff's service and the meals at the hotel, but the sea was quite murky that day, so I could only see the fish and coral vaguely. I understand that this depends on luck for the day, but honestly, I wish I could have seen it in a clearer state.

スタッフの方の対応やホテルでの食事は満足していますが、海がけっこう濁っている日だったので、魚やサンゴはぼんやりと見える感じでした。
こればっかりはその日の運次第なので仕方ないと思いますが、もう少し綺麗な状態を見たかったな、というのが正直な感想です。

The reservation date had strong waves, so we couldn't depart, but we were able to reschedule for the next day and had a valuable experience. Not only did we see the Blue Cave, but we also had a thrilling experience riding over the waves on a pleasure boat, like a roller coaster. The foreigner (probably from Russia) spoke fluent Japanese and provided amusing explanations that made us feel like we were in another country, which was a lot of fun.

Once you arrive at the location, I recommend calling the contact number if no one is there, as there might be a cancellation. The meeting point is in the bay, so even if the wind and waves aren't too strong, there can still be big waves near the cave that prevent you from going.

予約日は波が強くて出港できずでしたが、翌日に振り替えてもらえて、貴重な体験ができました。
青の洞窟を見るというだけでなく、プレジャーボートで波を乗り越えてジェットコースターのような体験や、外国人（多分ロシアの人）の上手な日本語、でもなんか可笑し面白い説明で異国を感じられたりして大変楽しめました。

現地に着いて、誰もいなかったら連絡先に電話することをお勧めします。欠航かもしれないので。集合場所は湾内なのでそんなに風、波が強くなくても洞窟付近は大波で乗れない事も。

We participated as a couple.

The sea seemed a bit rough, which added a sense of adventure to the cruise. We got splashed by waves, and everyone had fun laughing and enjoying the moment. My husband usually gets seasick, but he seemed to be fine this time.

The foreign captain shared many amusing stories, making the round trip cruise feel like it went by in no time.

In the cave, we encountered beautiful emerald green waters, creating a wonderful memory. I was a bit worried about whether the tour would go ahead due to the bad weather, and when I reached out, it seemed there was some confusion with the reservation since it was made last minute. I'm glad we were able to participate without any issues.

夫婦での参加です。

海は少し荒れていたようで、クルーズはなかなかのアトラクション感があります。波がかかったりもして、それはそれで皆さんはしゃいだりして楽しかったです。主人はよく船酔いをするのですが、今回は大丈夫だったようです。
外国人の船長さんが面白可笑しくいろんな話をしてくださったり、往復のクルーズもあっという間です。

洞窟では綺麗なエメラルドグリーンに出会えて、とても良い思い出になりました。
あいにくの天候で催行されるのか不安で連絡したところ、直前の予約だったせいか予約を認識されていなかったようで少しごたつきました。無事に参加出来て良かったです。

Although the weather wasn’t great it was a great experience! My kids loved it! It was nice and short so we didn’t get sea sick which was good. You do have to pay for Parking but it wasn’t much, like ¥320 yen. This trip was cheap and well worth it! The boat even had vending machines for drinks of coarse right!

I am sure this activity would have gotten an outstanding rating if the weather would have been better during the day. I decided however to go through with it due to going home the day after, I was offered a free re-booking or full refund by both Veltra and the tour operator on location.

So the weather was really bad, rain and windy which made the underwater visibility really bad, we did however see some really cool corral reefs, but I do recommend future participants to re-book if the conditions are not good, I am sure the view would have been amazing on a sunny day!

All staff I met during the tour was really nice and friendly, I just wish the time we were allowed under deck would have been a little longer, that is the only complaint I have :)

The boarding area is at the dock near the park, past the main road after going through the Meruhen intersection towards the sea. Please be aware that searching online for "Otaru, Blue Cave" may lead to different boarding locations.

You will see a signpost near the meeting point, so if you call out to the boat that is docked nearby, they will assist you with the check-in.

On the day of my visit, the sky was cloudy after the rain, which made me anxious about how clear the view would be. However, the captain sensed my worries and assured me that "the weather like today is when it looks the most beautiful," which put me at ease as we headed towards the Blue Cave. The journey was quick and enjoyable thanks to the captain's lively and cheerful talk. As for the Blue Cave, just as the captain said, it was a beautiful blue color, and only the area near the cave was blue, creating a very magical atmosphere. Since there were no boats following us, I was able to fully enjoy the scenery.

By the way, as you head out to sea, you will get splashed, so it's best to wear clothes that can get wet.

乗り場はメルヘン交差点を海側に抜けて、大通りを越えた先の公園近くの船着き場です。インターネットで「小樽、青の洞窟」等で調べると違う乗り場が出てくる場合があるので、ご注意ください。
集合場所付近には目印の”のぼり”が見えますので、近くに停留している船に声を掛けると、受付していただけます。

当日、雨上がりの曇りの空模様でしたので、綺麗に見えるか不安でしたが、その不安な気持ちを察した船長から、「今日のような天気の時が一番きれいに見える」と教えていただけたので、とても安心して青の洞窟に向かうことができました。道中も船長の軽快で陽気なトークで楽しませてもらえたので、青の洞窟まであっという間でした。青の洞窟は船長の言ったとおり、綺麗な青い色で洞窟の近くだけが青いので、非常にとても幻想的な雰囲気でした。後続の船も無かったので、思う存分景観を楽しむことができました。

ちなみに沖に出るに連れて、水しぶきがかかるので濡れてもいい格好で行ったほうがいいです。

Lot of fun! Great service and company. View was wonderful

Just before the typhoon, the visibility and waves were reported to be at normal levels, but I could see the coral reefs and fish perfectly. I was lucky to go since the next departure was canceled!

台風直前で、透明度も波も普通のレベルとの表示でしたが、サンゴ礁もお魚もバッチリ見えました。次の出航から欠航になったので行けてラッキーでした♪

The approach of the typhoon raised concerns about the departure, but the visibility conditions and the stability of the boat were displayed at the reception in advance, allowing us to board with peace of mind.
We arrived at the spot quickly from Naha Port and were able to enjoy the underwater scenery at a leisurely pace, with many fish coming close, likely due to feeding, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
On our way back, my husband and I talked about wanting to bring our grandchild next time!

台風接近で出航が危ぶまれましたが、事前に透明度の状況と船体の揺れ状況が受付へ表示されており安心して乗船することができました。
那覇港からすぐにスポットへ到着しゆっくり水中観賞でき、餌付けされているのか沢山の魚が寄ってきて十分に堪能することができました。
次は、孫を連れて来たいね！と夫婦で話して帰りました。

A wonderful experience viewing the underwater world of fishes and corals

The onboard announcements were very detailed and sometimes amusing, making for a really enjoyable time. I thought it was a bit cold on the ship, and right away, someone asked if I would like a blanket. The attentive service was excellent. I feel like I could have a great time every time I ride; it was a valuable experience.

船内での案内は、とても詳しく＆時には面白く、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
船上では少し寒いな。って思っていたら、すぐにブランケットはどうですか？っと、声をかけてもらいました。
決め細やかな対応も凄く良かったです。
何度乗っても楽しく過ごせるのではないかと思うくらい、貴重な体験ができました。

When advertising this dinner cruise, please indicate what drinks are "all you can drink". I don't drink sake, whisky and may drink beer, That was it. You get a lot of Europeans and Americans on this dinner, so include things like bourbon and a variety of beers. Food was fine, but I couldn't eat a lot of it as it didn't explain what was what. I ate eel but didn't know till someone told me I had. Andy was a godsend and knew his craft, asset.

Many companies offer similar cruises, but this one was the best. The older woman at the reception was kind, and above all, the captain was exceptionally experienced and excellent. The announcements were easy to understand, and he provided a thorough guide to various locations. I thought an hour and a half might be long, but it flew by. When the boat rocked, they informed us in advance, so there was no worry about seasickness. It seems there are other courses available, so I would like to participate in those next time. Since it's on the sea, I recommend wearing warm clothing.

似たようなクルーズを、各社開催していますが、この会社は最高でした。
受付の年配の女性も親切でしたし、何より船長さんが抜群にベテランで最高です。アナウンスも聞き取りやすく、色々な個所を丁寧に案内してくれました。
一時間半、長いかなと思ったのですが、あっという間でした。
船が揺れるときも、事前に教えてくれたので、船酔いの心配もありません。
別のコースもあるようなので、次回はそちらにも参加したいと思います。
海の上なので、温かい服装をお勧めします。

Great cruise with great hosts. Food was amazing and the ladies looked after us well. Great finish to our holiday in Tokyo.

Would recommend to anyone

Weather was bad during our visit but we were glad that we proceeded. My elderly parents and young children had an amazing time. The booking is prompt and convenience.
The lunch is also timely after our boat ride.

มาดูปลาแบบไม่ต้องเปียก ก็ถือว่าเป็นอีก 1 ตัวเลือกที่ดีค่ะ ราคาไม่แพง ไปเจอกันท่าเรือเลย

I've taken this cruise multiple times, and each time I can capture different scenery. The weather, the season, the wind direction... I definitely recommend taking it several times.

In the summer, you can also enjoy the twilight views of Yokohama.

何度も乗っているクルーズですが、行くたびに違う風景が撮れます。
天気、季節、風向き・・・ぜひ何度か乗ってみることをお進めします。

夏場に載ると、黄昏時の横浜も楽しめます。

The tour of the Keihin Canal is popular, but the charm of Honmoku Negishi is in a league of its own. The lights of the gantry cranes at Honmoku Pier, the fantastical factory night view of the massive oil refinery in Negishi, and finally, the beautiful night view of Minato Mirai... The guidance from the renowned captain of Yokohama is rich in content that is a must-listen for sailors.

京浜運河のツアーがメジャーですが、本牧根岸の面白さは別格です。
本牧ふ頭のガントリークレーンの明かり、根岸の巨大な製油所の幻想的な
工場夜景、そして最後はみなとみらいの美しい夜景・・・。
横浜の名船長の案内は船乗りならではの濃い内容で必聴です。

The reservation was made correctly and we had a table with our name.
Drinks were all you can drink style and food was very nice.Japanese small dish and fresh fish and season vegetanles tempura!
We enjoy the cruise very well and the staff crew were lovely !!

We had some sakura also near Asakusa.

Nice cruise to rainbow bridge. Beautiful view of lit up bridge, Tokyo tower and sky tree tower. Japanese style dinner. Plentiful food but mostly all raw fish, and pickled things. Tempura eel, squid and potato. For me as a westerner who doesn’t eat raw fish it would have been nice to have a food choice. The advertisement said it was a cherry blossom special cruise but we saw no cherry blossoms so I was somewhat disappointed. Beer and alcohol was plentiful. I would go again but I would eat before hand.

I chose this tour since I can't ride ships for a long time. the time we spent below watching the fish was not that long but it was enough to enjoy them and take pictures. the crew even tried to throw food to attract fish who gathered around the ship.
I highly recommend to combine it with the buffet, the lunch at Nest hotel was so delicious especially the dessert and fruits section.

You can check the situation on the bulletin board on the day. Last time it was LEVEL-4 and I couldn't see anything at all, but this time it was 3. The lunch at Nest Hotel was delicious, and I recommend the ice cream dessert with chinsuko. I think it's a good thing that it's not from a famous ice cream company in Okinawa.

当日の様子を掲示板で確認､出来ます｡前回はLEVEL-4で全く見られず､今回は3でした｡またネストホテルのランチも美味しかったし､デザートのアイスはちんすこうがお勧めです｡沖縄で有名なアイスクリームの会社ではないのが､逆に良かったと思います｡

This cruise was nothing short of an amazing experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was plenty and delicious, and the views were simply stunning!

I came to Okinawa for a 2-night, 3-day professional baseball camp. It's easy to plan since it's close to Naha Port. The lunch option is an additional 500 yen, which is quite a bargain. The water clarity was level 3, but it was clearer than I expected, so I enjoyed it. The boat hardly rocked, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness.

2泊3日プロ野球キャンプで沖縄に来ました。
那覇港と行きやすい場所で、プランを組みやすいです。
ランチ付きはプラス500円のため、かなりお得です。透明度はレベル3でしたが思っていたよりも見えたので楽しめました。
船もほぼ揺れませんでしたので、船酔いは心配いりませんでした。

It was my first time with children, and they were very happy. The lunch at the hotel afterwards was also satisfying. I think it's a great value plan.

子供とは初めてでとても喜んでくれました。
そのあとホテルでのランチも満足です。
お得な内容のプランだと思います。

We ended our Japan tour with this cruise and it was nice to relax and try unique foods.
Very nice tour!
