All Reviews for Cruises

Even though it was 36 degrees Celsius and we were in a vehicle without windows, I didn't feel hot at all. First, we traveled through Yokohama city by land. The explanations about the history and buildings were fascinating, and the story of the three towers was particularly impressive. The moment we slid into the sea was more powerful than I expected! Everyone cheered. The view of Minato Mirai from the sea is as beautiful as in the brochure photos. Near the Red Brick Warehouse, we had a moment to make wishes while seeing all three towers that are said to grant wishes. Since we were near Marine Tower, we were lucky enough to hear the deep noon whistle from the Hikawa Maru. When I returned to Kansai and shared this story, many people who didn't know about the Sky Duck were envious. I highly recommend that everyone experience it at least once!

気温36度で窓のない車両ですが暑さは感じませんでした。
まずは横浜市街を陸路で走行。
歴史や建物の説明など興味深く、特に三塔物語が印象的でした。
海に滑り込む瞬間は思った以上の迫力！皆さん歓声をあげてました。
海からみるみなとみらいはパンフレット写真のように素敵です。
赤レンガ倉庫の辺りでは、願い事が叶うと言われる先程の三塔が全て見られる場所でお願いタイム💕
マリンタワー近くに停泊している氷川丸からは、タイミングが良かったので、重厚な正午の汽笛を聞くことが出来ました。
関西に帰りこの話をすると、スカイダックを知らない人多数で羨ましがられました。
皆さんも是非一度体験してみてください！

I found this on a website and since I had never been on an amphibious bus before, I decided to give it a try.

We started by driving through the city, and then we entered the sea. The splash of water at the moment we entered (just a little) was amazing on a sunny day.

From the sea, we could see Yamashita Park and the Minato Mirai area, offering a different view of Yokohama. There were flying fish jumping in the sea, which was also nice to see.

I booked the earliest time available, but the bus was full, with a mix of foreign tourists and Japanese tourists.

サイトでたまたま見つけ、水陸両用バスは乗った事なかったんで、乗ってみました。
始めに街を走り、その後海へ入るのですが、入る瞬間の水しぶき（少しですが）は晴れている日には最高です。
海から山下公園や、みなとみらい地区を見られ、また違った横浜の風景が見られました。
海には、トビウオらしき魚が跳ねており、それもまた良かったです。
１番早い時間で申し込みしましたが、車内は満席で、外国からの観光客と日本人観光客半々位の感じでした。

It was a hot season in August, but I had a refreshing cruising experience!

I personally hold a small boat license and often have the opportunity to drive, but the captain's driving was professional. He skillfully avoided waves and minimized the impact on the boat, so I don't think there was anyone among the passengers who experienced seasickness.

The interior of the boat was kept clean, and the seats were equipped with cushions to absorb shock, which gave the impression that they were considerate of the passengers! You can enjoy a leisurely time inside the boat, or there are seats outside to enjoy the view as well!

I was looking forward to the famous foreign captain, and he turned out to be a very amusing person, providing guidance filled with jokes, making for a laughter-filled cruise! There are boats that guide you to the Blue Cave in the Otaru area, but I think this one was the most entertaining!

As of August 2025, due to concerns about falling rocks inside the Blue Cave, it seems they do not enter the cave itself, but they get as close as possible within a safe range, allowing us to see the beautiful cave!

It was a memorable and wonderful experience! I learned from the captain that on cloudy days, the cave can look more beautiful or sometimes not at all, so I would like to board again when I visit Otaru! Thank you!

8月の暑いシーズンでしたが、爽快なクルージング体験ができました！

私自身、小型船舶免許を保有しており運転する機会が多いですが船長の運転はプロでした、波を避け船への衝撃を最小限に抑えるような運転をしており同乗しているお客さんの中に船酔いしている様子の方は1人もいなかったと思います。

船内も綺麗にされており、座席にも衝撃を和らげる目的のクッションも備えられており乗船される方のことを考えられている印象でした！
船内でゆっくり楽しむもよし、船外にもイスがあるので外で楽しむもよしです！

船長は外国人の有名船長ということで楽しみにしておりましたが、大変愉快な方で終始ジョークを交えた案内をしており笑いの絶えないクルージングでした！
小樽エリア各地に青の洞窟を案内している船がありますが面白さは1番かと思います！

2025.8月現在は青の洞窟内の落石への配慮から洞窟の中までは入らないとのことでしたが、安全な範囲の中でできるだけ青の洞窟に近づいてくれる為、綺麗な洞窟は見ることができました！

記憶に残る素晴らしい体験ができました！
船長さんからの豆知識で、曇っている日の方が綺麗に見えたりとか見えなかったりとからしいので、また小樽に行くときには乗船したいと思っています！
ありがとうございました！

The bus guide's explanations were interesting, and I enjoyed both the land and water experiences! The good environment of Koto Ward was also impressive. I recommend it!

バスガイドの方の説明が面白く、水陸両方で楽しめました！
江東区の環境の良さも印象的でした。
おすすめです！

I went out to sea on a motorboat for the first time. The waves were getting high, and we thought we might have to cancel the next trip due to the whitecaps. The boat bravely crossed the waves, repeatedly going up and down in a way that was even more exhilarating than a roller coaster, making sharp turns. Along the way, we received explanations about the islands and coastlines as we headed to the Blue Cave. Inside the cave, there was only our boat, allowing us to leisurely observe the seabed.

初めてモーターボートで海に出ました。
波が高くなってきたので次の回はキャンセルだなーと言っていた位の白波でした。
果敢にボートは波を越え、ジェットコースターよりも小刻みにUP.DOWNを繰り返し急回旋します。
途中の島や海岸の解説もしながら青の洞窟へ。
洞窟の中には私達のボートしか居らずゆっくりと海底を見学できました。

It may have been a coincidence, but I couldn't see very well.

I thought that snorkeling in the shallow sea would allow me to see a clearer and more beautiful underwater world.

たまたまかもしれませんが、あまり、よくみえずでした。

シュノーケリングで浅瀬の海をみるほうが、きれいに、すっきりした海中がみえるんだと思いました。

I was worried because there was a possibility that we couldn't go in due to high waves, but I decided to participate. As expected, the waves were high, and we couldn't go in, so it turned into a cruising experience.

直前で波が高いから入れない可能性もあるとのことで、悩みましたが参加しました。
やはり波は高く、入れずで、クルージングに変わりました。

The experience was enjoyable. The captain was also a great storyteller and very entertaining. Although we couldn't enter the Blue Cave, we got very close to it, and the view was absolutely stunning!

↓ Here are some suggestions for improvement:

1. The life jackets smelled bad.
2. The interior of the boat, including the cushions, didn't feel clean (haven't they been washed?).
3. The music was too loud.
4. The windows were dirty, making it hard to see the scenery.

The heat added to it, and I got seasick right after boarding. Other families also seemed to struggle, with mothers and children looking very uncomfortable.

Ninety minutes is quite long, so we should have taken some measures before boarding.

I apologize for the harsh feedback. I believe many Japanese people prefer a clean environment. I'm sure that if improvements are made, you'll see a significant increase in repeat customers. Good luck!

内容は楽しいものでした。
船長さんもお話上手でおもしろかったです。
青の洞窟には入れませんでしたが、洞窟付近まで行ってくれてとても絶景でした！


↓ここからは改善希望の内容です

①ライフジャケットがくさい
②船内もクッションなど清潔な感じがしなかった（洗ってない？）
③音楽が音が大きすぎる
④窓の汚れなのか景色が見にくい

暑さも重なって乗ってすぐに船酔いをしてしまいました。
他のファミリーの方達もお母さんとお子さんがすごく辛そうでした。

90分はとても長いので、
何か対策をして乗るべきでした。


厳しい評価ごめんなさい。
日本人は清潔な環境を好む方が多いと思います。
きっと改善したらリピーターさんがすごく増えると思います。
頑張ってください！

It was a slightly chilly day, but we set sail as planned. However, a tsunami warning was issued, and I thought it might be canceled. Following the captain's instructions that it was safer offshore, we continued the cruise. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to witness the scene of a whale spouting and diving. The captain's various explanations were eye-opening, making for a fun two and a half hours!

少し肌寒い日でしたが、予定通り出港、しかし直ぐに津波警報が出され、中止かと思いましたが、沖合いの方が安全との船長指示に従い、クルーズ続行ですね～幸いにクジラの潮吹きから潜水のシーンが目撃出来て、ラッキーでした～
船長の色んな説明が目から鱗、楽しい2時間半でした～

A foreign captain who speaks Japanese played music and set sail! It felt like being in a theme park, and then as a service, the ship tilted dramatically to the left and right while speeding forward, making it feel like we were on an attraction. We couldn't enter the Blue Cave due to the risk of falling rocks, but we had a great time cruising.

日本語喋れる外人の船長が音楽かけて出航！テーマパークにいるみたいと思ったら、サービス？で船体を左右に大きく傾けながら高速前進して完全にアドラクションに乗ってる気分に。
落石の危険があるとのことで青の洞窟に入れませんでしたが楽しいクルージングできました。

It was foggy, and I had low expectations of seeing anything, but a pod of orcas appeared out of the mist. Thanks to the crew's skills, we got really close, about 3 meters away from the orcas! They seemed accustomed to humans and appeared to be observing us and playing, so I didn't feel any fear. We also encountered a sperm whale, and I was deeply moved by its grandeur. It was a different kind of excitement compared to videos. I heard that there are days when you might not see anything at all, but it seemed we were lucky to see so many orcas.

濃霧でしたが出航、こりゃ何も見られないかなと期待薄でしたが霧の中から鯱の群れが現れ、船員さんのテクニックによりすごく近くまで寄って下さり、3mくらいの距離てシャチを見られました！シャチの方も慣れているのか、人間を観察して遊んでいる感じで、恐怖心は感じませんでした。マッコウクジラにも出会えて、その雄大さに感動しきりでした。動画とかとは違う感動でした。全く出会え無い日も有るとの事でしたが、シャチがウジャウジャいる様子が見られ、ラッキーだったようです。

I rode on the Sky Duck for the first time this time. Until then, I had visited Yokohama many times, but the initial drive through Yokohama was very refreshing, and the view of Yokohama from a high perspective was quite new.

It was a 10-minute city tour drive, and the bus guide explained Yokohama's history and attractions in an easy-to-understand manner, sharing even some niche information about Yokohama.

Moreover, the moment we entered the water was more powerful than I had imagined. The waves were calm that day, so there was no swaying, and I didn't feel nauseous. Additionally, the captain made sure to turn the vehicle so that those on the right side and those on the left could enjoy the scenery equally, so I don't think there was any advantage based on seating.

It was a lot of fun to experience this strange vehicle that combines both a car and a boat.

今回初めてスカイダックに乗車しました。
それまで、何度も横浜に訪れておりましたが、冒頭の横浜ドライブはとても爽快で、また高い視点から眺める横浜の風景はとても新鮮でした。
10分ほどの市内観光のドライブでしたが、バスガイドさんが横浜の歴史や見どころを分かりやすくお話ししてくださり、マニアックな横浜の情報も教えていただきました。

そして、入水時は想像以上の迫力でした。
当日の波が穏やかでしたので、横揺れもなく、酔うことは無かったです。
また、車体の右側に乗車された方、左側に乗車された方にそれぞれ平等に景色を見られるように船長さんが旋回してくださいましたので、座席によって有利が生じることは無いかと思います。

車と船の二刀流という不思議な乗り物を体験できて、とても楽しかったです。

The meeting place was a bit difficult to find, but the person who came to pick us up was very kind, and we were able to enjoy the cruise thanks to their assistance. During our landing on Niijima, the guide explained the history of Niijima and the observation of rare plants, which was enjoyable. Taking memorable photos on the swing was also a great keepsake. The view of Sakurajima from the ship was also wonderful.

集合場所がわかり難かったですが、お迎えのかたがすぐに来てくださり、親切な対応でクル―ズを楽しむことができました。
新島上陸では案内人のかたから新島の歴史や珍しい草花の観察について説明していただき、楽しかったです。
ブランコでの思い出の撮影も良い記念になりました。
船上から見た桜島も大変良かったです。

The wonderful captain really entertained us to the fullest. It was definitely the right choice to ask for this! The beautiful scenery became even more amazing with the captain's lively talk. Thank you very much.

素敵な船長さんが思いっきり楽しませてくれます。
こちらにお願いして大正解でした!!
綺麗な景色が、船長さんの軽快なトークで更に素晴らしいものとなりました。
ありがとうございました。

A first-time yacht experience with three classmates. The weather was great, the wind was just right, and there were no other boats around, making it feel like we had the ocean all to ourselves—it was fantastic. We also got to experience steering the yacht, and the captain was friendly, making for a very enjoyable time. Thank you for the souvenirs as well.

同級生三人で初めてのヨット体験。
天気も良く、風もちょうどいい感じで、尚且つ周りに船など居なく、まさに海を貸し切った様で、最高でした。
カジを操作しての運転も経験でき、船長さんも気さくで、とても優しく楽しい時間を過ごせました。
お土産まで頂き、ありがとうございました。

The captain was a foreigner. At first, I was a bit anxious, but he spoke well and kept cracking dad jokes, making it as enjoyable as Jetstar. The Blue Cave was more beautiful and impressive than I expected!! On the way back, my son got sick, but the captain was very considerate, which made me feel very relieved. I highly recommend this. Thank you, captain!

船長さんは外国人の方でした。最初は不安もありましたが、言葉は上手だし親父ギャグを連発、ジェットスターみたいに楽しませてくれました。青の洞窟も思ってたより綺麗で圧巻！！帰り息子の体調悪くなってしまったけど、気遣ってくれてとても安心しました。とてもオススメです。船長さん、ありがとうございました。

I participated hoping to see the drift ice, but it was disappointing that I couldn't due to unexpected weather conditions. However, I enjoyed the prison, jail, and the Drift Ice Museum. It was fun to freeze the towel at the Drift Ice Museum.

流氷目当てで参加しましたが、まさかの天候の事情で見ることできなかったのが残念でした。
ですが監獄、刑務所、流氷館は楽しめました。
流氷館でのタオルを凍らすのが面白かったです。

People walking along the road waved at us. Even though it was scorching hot, a pleasant breeze came into the bus, which felt nice. The view of Yokohama from the sea was very beautiful, and it was a luxurious experience that we don't usually get to see.

道を歩いている人達が手を振ってくれました。猛暑の中でしたか、バスには心地よい風が吹き込んできて、気持ち良かったてす。海から見る横浜はとても綺麗で、普段見ることがてきない、とても贅沢な時間でした。

I have party of 3, went to Asakusa Nitenmon, saw no sign of Mizube cruise, ask the shop around there and told us go to the river band, finally found the ship after running from Asakusa temple Nitenmon to river band along with two other people also booked the same cruise line, the Japanese asked why we were not exchange for actual ticket in really rude manner, of course he finally let us on the ship but made us really mad. four out of five of us are Chinese so we can read Chinese characters and I can read Katakana too, your company lack of signs to follow by the intersecton of the police box which the pier is further down the river bank. Please tell him to control his temper.

At the end of June, it was quite hot since the rainy season had ended. I originally planned to stroll around Kokusai Street for about two hours, but due to the intense heat, I thought of taking a sightseeing boat around 3 PM the day before and found this plan.

Since it was a request reservation for 10 AM the next day, I was wondering if we could go, but within about 30 minutes, I received a "reservation confirmed" notice, and they responded smoothly.

Also, there was a heavy downpour for about three hours the day before, so I was worried about visibility in the water, but it was sunny on the day of the trip, and we could see clearly. The kids enjoyed it as well, and we were very satisfied! Thank you for accommodating our last-minute reservation! 😊

6月下旬で、梅雨明けをしていたこともあり、かなりの暑さでした。本当は2時間くらい国際通りを散策予定でしたが、あまりのカンカン照りを受け、前日の15時頃にに遊覧船を思い付き、このプランを見つけました。
翌日の10時から、リクエスト予約だったので、行けるかな？どうかな？と思っていたのですが、30分程度で『予約確定』が来て、スムーズに対応頂けました。
また、前日に3時間くらいのスコールがあり、海の中が見えるか不安でしたが、当日は晴れていたこともあり、クリアに見れました(^^)子供たちも楽しんでおり、非常に満足です❣️
急な予約にも関わらず、ありがとうございました😊

Due to thick fog, we couldn't reach the Blue Grotto, but the boat cruise was thrilling and enjoyable. The captain's talk was entertaining and fun for all ages. It will be a great memory.

濃霧のため青の洞窟まで行けなかったが、ボートクルーズがスリルがあり楽しめました。また、船長のトークが面白く年齢問わず楽しめました。いい思い出になります。

It was an exciting and thrilling experience.
The streets viewed from the bus, filled with exotic charm,
the splash bus diving into the sea,
and the view from the sea was also wonderful at Yokohama Port.

It seems that my relatives who came from Osaka also made great memories.
Thank you very much.

ワクワクドキドキしながらの体験でした。
異国情緒溢れるバスでの街並み、
海に飛び込むスプラッシュバス
海からの眺めも横浜港で素敵な眺めでした。

大阪からきた親戚も良き想い出になったようです。
ありがとうございました。

It was our family's first trip with three generations. Thank you very much for accommodating my father, who has knee arthritis, according to the situation. The children also had a great experience.

家族3代での初めての旅行でした。
膝関節症のある父に対しても
状況に合わせて対応して頂き
本当にありがとうございます。
子供達にも良い体験ができました。

I had a great time experiencing this with everyone on board. I would definitely like to invite my acquaintances to join next time. It was fun!

一緒に乗船した皆様と楽しく体験出来ました。また是非、知り合いにも声掛けて参加したい。楽しかったです。

First, you go to the reception, and the payment has already been completed with a card, so there's no need to fill out any annoying address or phone number details. You just receive your ticket and can head straight to the port.

I have previously taken a ship from a certain company, but once you're out at sea, it's the same. However, the quality of the reception and the atmosphere here are better, so I've been using this service consistently.

I usually go to Rausu around June every year, and I've been able to encounter orcas each time.

I will visit again next year, so thank you in advance.

まず、受付に行って、精算はすでにカード決済で終わっていて、面倒な住所・電話番号の記入もなし。チケットを受け取るのみで終了、すぐに港に向かえます。

過去に某G社の船にも乗ったのですが、海に出てしまえば同じですが、受付の対応の良さ、雰囲気がこちらの方がよく、ずっとこちらを利用しています。

毎年だいたい６月に羅臼に行くのですが、毎年シャチに出会えています。

来年もまた伺いますのでよろしくお願いいたします。

The weather was a bit cloudy, so it wasn't perfectly clear, but I could see a lot of fish. The boat was also swaying a little, and even though I've hardly ever experienced motion sickness, I ended up feeling seasick while staring into the water.

I think whether it's a hit or miss depends on the weather. Since the price is reasonable, I think it would be a good option to include in your plans for the last day.

天気が曇り気味だったのもあり、綺麗に見える！ほどではないけれどお魚は沢山見えました。船もやや揺れるレベルだったのもあり、乗り物酔いをほぼした事ない私が海中をじっと見ていたら船酔いをしました。

当たりハズレは天候次第だと思います。
お手頃価格なので最終日の予定に入れても良いと思います。

I didn't have high expectations, thinking I would be lucky to see orcas once or twice, but I was able to see so many orcas multiple times, and I was extremely satisfied. The captain maneuvered the boat to a great viewing position, and the guide informed us in advance about the points where the orcas would appear, allowing me to take many photos. I was truly moved!

１～２回見られればラッキーなのかなとあまり期待していませんでしたが、何と沢山のシャチを何度も見ることができて、大変満足でした。船頭さんも見やすい位置に船を操ってくれ、ガイドさんもシャチが出て来るポイントを事前に教えてくれたので、写真も沢山取ることができました。本当に感激でした！

I was completely satisfied with the conversation with the pilot, the flying, and the scenery. My wife was especially thrilled and excited. We want to go again.

操縦士さんの会話、操縦、景観、全て大満足。特に家内はドキドキ、ハラハラの大興奮でした。又行きたいです。

I couldn't understand what the announcement on the ship was saying, and I got very lost trying to get to Senso-ji after disembarking. No one could help me, and there were no signs.

船内の放送が何を言っているのかわからない、下船した後浅草寺に行くのに大変迷った。誰に聞いてもわからない。案内もないです。

You can see a small school of tropical fish. There are many noisy people, but let's endure it for a while. When you throw food, a lot of tropical fish gather. It's a highlight.

小さな熱帯魚の群れが見れます。騒がしい人が多いですが、しばらく我慢しましょう。餌を撒くと熱帯魚が多く集まってきます。見所です。
