All Reviews for Cruises

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。

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。

Since it was my first time at Onuma Quasi-National Park, I thought it would be good to check the geography, so I made a reservation. Despite the light rain, the boat departed as scheduled with a small number of passengers. While laughing at the guide's jokes, the 30 minutes flew by, and I learned a bit about the history of Onuma Park before we arrived. It seems that in winter, there are ice sledding tours available, and I thought I would like to try that if I get the chance. We had planned to cycle around Lake Onuma afterward, but since it was raining on and off, we decided to walk around based on the points the guide had shared along the route. If you plan to take the train round trip from Hakodate Station, I recommend checking the timetable in advance as there are few trains. Although we couldn't do it, if you extend your trip a bit to Mori Station from here, you can enjoy that delicious ika-meshi (squid rice).

初めての大沼国定公園だったので、先ず地理を確認する上でも良いかなと思い予約。あいにくの小雨の中、少人数ながらも船は予定通り出発。ガイドの人の冗談に笑いながら、あっという間の30分でしたが、少し大沼公園の歴史を学び到着。冬は氷上そりツアーが出来るらしく、機会があれば試して見たいと思った。この後大沼湖をサイクリングする予定だったが、雨が降ったり止んだりだったので、ルートに沿いガイドさんに教えてもらったポイントを元に歩いて一周する事に。函館駅から往復電車で行く場合は本数が少ないので、事前に時刻表を確認する事をオススメ。私達は出来なかったが、ここからちょっと足を伸ばして森駅まで行くと、あの美味しいイカメシが食べられる。

On the second day, despite being in Hokkaido, the weather was like the rainy season, and since we had a reservation, we had no choice but to board. We could only see the foothills of Mount Komagatake, and while there was a guide on the boat for other groups, there wasn't one on ours. I wished we could have gone a bit closer to the flowers.

北海道なのに梅雨みたいな天気の2日目、予約をしていたので仕方なく乗りました。駒ケ岳は裾野のみ、他の団体用の船にはガイドさんがいましたが、私たちの船にはいませんでした。もう少し花の近くを通ってほしかったです。
