All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

On the day of our reservation, it was reported that a brown bear appeared early in the course, and the tour ended in no time! Since we had some extra time, we were able to reschedule for the same tour the following morning.

The next day, in the refreshing morning right after the park opened, my friend, the guide, and I leisurely toured the five lakes. Our guide, Ayano, was very knowledgeable about animals, plants, flowers, and even the history of the five lakes tourism, making the explanations enjoyable and extremely interesting. We also looked at distant herons and deer through binoculars that were lent to us for free. I was particularly happy when I spotted a hazel grouse by sound and was praised for finding such a rare sight.

We were blessed with good weather, and the fun time flew by. I hope to have the opportunity to join the star tour, which I heard Ayano is particularly skilled at, next time.

予約した当日は、開始早々にコ－ス内にヒグマが現れたとのことで、あっという間に終了！時間に余裕のあった私達は、翌朝の同ツア－に振替えとなりました。
翌日は開園早々の清々しい午前中、友人と私そしてガイドさんの三人でゆっくり五湖を巡ることになりました。ガイドの綾野さんは動物、草木や花、はたまた五湖観光の歴史等知識が豊富で、説明が楽しく、非常に興味深かったです。また無料で貸していただいた双眼鏡から遠くのサギやシカを眺めました。とりわけ私が音で気が付き、何かを尋ねたエゾライチョウを見つけた時は貴重だとほめてもらい、嬉しかったです。
天候にも恵まれ、楽しい時間はあっという間に終わりました。次回は綾野さんが最も得意とお聞きした星のツア－に参加する機会があればと思います。

I participated at the beginning of October. The temperature was around 12 degrees, with light rain coming and going. I initially thought the bad weather would be disappointing, but it was the opposite! The damp, quiet atmosphere felt very much like a wetland and was pleasant. With the cool temperature and light rain, the animals seemed to be quite active; I encountered a herd of about 20 deer, a magnificent stag with impressive antlers, and a bald eagle. The guide was a seasoned individual who was skilled at canoeing and shared very interesting stories. They also provided boots and ponchos, which made for a comfortable experience. I would love to come back in other seasons as well!

10月頭に参加しました。気温12度くらいで小雨が降ったり止んだりの天気。悪天候で残念と思っていましたが、逆でした！しっとり静かな雰囲気が湿地らしくて気持ちよく、涼しくて小雨とかだと、動物たちは活発らしく、20頭くらいの鹿の群れや、立派な角の牡鹿、オジロワシに出会えました。ガイドさんは個人のベテランの方でカヌー操作も上手で、お話もとてもおもしろかったです。長靴やポンチョも貸してくれて快適でした。またほかの季節にも遊びに来たいです！

I had some time before my flight, so I was looking for a tour near the airport and found this one... it was a huge hit, and I was surprised! The guide was attentive, and the nature was beautiful... I was able to create the best memories at the end of my trip! We were caught in a sudden thunderstorm at the end of the tour, but the guide handled it calmly, and also, I was able to take a bath at the airport, so I recommend this for those who have a little extra time before their flight! You can also meet swans during the tour.

飛行機まで時間があったので空港近くのツアーを探していたら見つけたのですが…大当たりでビックリしました！ガイドさんは丁寧だし、自然は美しいし…旅行の最後に最高の思い出作りができました！ツアー終わりに急な雷雨に見舞われましたが、ガイドさんが冷静に対応くださり、また、空港でお風呂にも入れたので、飛行機までちょっと時間に余裕がある…という方におすすめです！
ツアー途中で白鳥さんと会うこともできますよ。

This time, we were the only group on the cruise, but the captain was very entertaining and made it a wonderful memory. I was really happy to see how hard he worked to satisfy the guests!

今回、私達一組だけのクルージングでしたが船長さんがとても楽しく盛り上げてくれて最高の思い出が出来ました。とにかくお客さんを満足させようと一生懸命なのがよく伝わりとても嬉しく思いました!

If you want to see wildlife, early morning seems to be the best time! I went in late September and encountered many Ezo deer. The tour provided all the necessary equipment, so even though it was pouring rain in the first half of the day, it was not a problem at all. Thanks to the weather, I also got to see a white-tailed eagle and a red-crowned crane! Photography was allowed freely. Even in September, it can get quite cold in the mornings and evenings, so please dress warmly! The hand warmer given by the guide was a lifesaver.

野生動物が見たいなら、早朝がいいようです！
9月下旬に行きましたが、たくさんのエゾシカに会えました。
ツアーは万全の装備を全て貸してくれたので、当日前半は超絶大雨でしたが、全く問題なく、この天候の味方があって、オジロワシと、タンチョウにも会えました！
カメラ撮影も自由でした。9月でも朝晩はかなり冷えるので、暖かくして下さい！
ガイドさんがくれたカイロに救われました

I participated in the tour starting at 6 AM. Since it was a weekday, I felt like we had the Kushiro River all to ourselves without encountering other canoes until the end. It was refreshing to paddle through the morning mist. I saw a white-tailed eagle and Hokkaido deer. I'm grateful for the guide's kindness, including the detailed explanations and taking us to the points in time for the train.

6時からのツアーに参加しました。平日でもあったので最後まで他のカヌーに遭遇することもなく、釧路川を貸し切っているようでした。朝もやの中を進むカヌーで爽やかな時を過ごすことができました。オジロワシ、エゾジカを見ました。丁寧な説明、列車が来る時間に合わせてポイントに連れて行っていただくなどガイドさんの親切に感謝です。

We departed at 6:00 AM. Since there are more canoes in the afternoon, the wildlife tends to flee, but being the first ones there, we were able to see wildlife everywhere.

早朝6:00出発しました。
お昼からだとカヌーが増えて野生動物は逃げるのですが、一番乗りだったため至るところに野生動物が見られました。

I participated in mid-September, and the views from the five lakes were breathtaking, overlooking Shiretoko Peninsula. I was able to encounter various plants and animals, and I was extremely satisfied! It became the best memory. The guide's explanations about the flora and fauna were easy to understand. Before joining the tour, I had zero knowledge about Shiretoko, but I feel that my understanding deepened throughout the day. It was my first time using binoculars, and the thorough briefing beforehand was very helpful. When I finally saw the wildlife, I was moved by their power! The photos taken by the guide were all beautiful, and I think it's because they know Shiretoko so well. When I visit Shiretoko again, I definitely want to join the same tour!

9月中旬に参加、五つの湖からの絶景、知床岬を望む景色、さまざまな動植物にも出会うことができ、大満足‼︎最高の思い出になりました。
ガイドさんによる動植物の解説は分かりやすく、
ツアーに参加する前は、知床の知識がゼロだったのですが、1日ツアーを通して知床に関する理解が深まったように思います。双眼鏡を初めて使ったのですが、事前にしっかりレクチャーもしてくださり、いざ野生動物を見たときはその迫力に感動しました！
ガイドさんが撮ってくださった写真はどれも綺麗で、知床を知り尽くしているからこそなのかと思います^^ 再び知床を訪れる際は、またぜひ同じツアーに参加したいと思います。

Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were no customers, and it was like having the place to ourselves! It was absolutely amazing! You can experience a refreshing feeling here that you can't usually find. For those who are tired of food-focused trips, I think this thrilling experience is a must-try.

コロナの影響でお客さんがおらず、貸切状態！それが最高すぎました！普段味わえない爽快感がここなら感じられます。食べ歩きだけの旅行に疲れた人はこの刺激的な体験アリアリだと思います

I started with a raincoat due to concerns about the weather, but it gradually improved, leading to a comfortable kayaking experience. Paddling down the Chitose River flowing from Lake Shikotsu, the return course was gentle, and under the guidance of the instructor, I was amazed by the clear bottom and the non-decaying trees submerged beneath the water. It was a delightful time passing through the shade of the trees and navigating between them. It was a pity that there were some waves preventing us from reaching Lake Shikotsu, but I look forward to enjoying it again.

雨の心配もありカッパを着けてスタートしたが、お天気は次第に良くなり快適なカヤック体験となった。支笏湖から流れる千歳川を下り、折り返すコースは穏やかながら、インストラクターの指導もよろしく、大変透明な底に沈む腐食しない木々に驚きつつ、木陰くぐり、木のあいだ通過など楽しいひとときとなった。少し波があって支笏湖に出られなかったのは残念だったが、またの楽しみとしたい。

I participated with my daughter. We requested the afternoon tour, and the weather was nice, making it a perfect ending. It was our first guided tour, and the guide shared many highlights, making the three hours fly by. Thank you for patiently accompanying my daughter, who was thrilled to spot a deer. It was a wonderful location, and it became a memorable trip.

娘と2人で参加しました。午後からのツアーをお願いしましたが、お天気も良く最後でした。ガイドツアーは初めてでしたが、見どころなど教えて頂き、３時間あっという間でした。鹿をみつけて感動する娘にゆっくり付き合っていただきありがとうございました。素晴らしいロケーションでもあり、思い出深い旅になりました。

The weather was nice, and the views were always stunning. I was captivated by Rausu-dake, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Sakhalin fir, feeling like I wanted to gaze at them forever, as if time wasn't enough. I didn't encounter many animals, but at the very end of the tour, I got to see the natural monument, the Black Woodpecker! Since we walked on paths without trails, I think it's important to wear clothing that covers your skin, as mentioned in the precautions. It became a wonderful memory.

天気が良かったこともあり、常に最高の景色でした。
羅臼岳やオホーツク海、トドマツに目を奪われて、時間が足りないくらいずーっと眺めていたいと感じました。
動物にはあまり会えなかったですが、ツアーの最後の最後に天然記念物のクマゲラに会えました！！
道なき道を歩いたりもするので、注意事項に書いてあった通り肌を出さない服装をしてくることが重要だと思います。
素敵な思い出になりました。

I participated in mid-August. The weather was cloudy with occasional rain, and there were some light showers. The temperature was around 16°C, which felt a bit chilly, but it was comfortable for me coming from Tokyo.

In the morning, I joined a group of nearly 10 people and we walked around the five lakes (participants who only joined for the morning disbanded here). In the afternoon, we went trekking in the primeval forest. There were no walking paths in the forest, and it was challenging to navigate the animal trails, but it was fun. I encountered wild Ezo deer several times. The leaves were starting to change color, and I thought it would be nice to visit again in a different season.

8月中旬に参加。
天気は曇り時々雨、たまに小雨の日でした。気温は16℃と少し肌寒さを感じる位でしたが、東京から来ていた自分にとっては快適でした。
午前中は10名弱のグループで五湖をぐるっと周り(午前中のみの参加者はここで解散)、午後は原生林をトレッキングしました。原生林は遊歩道はなく、獣道を進んでいくのが大変だけど楽しかった。野生のエゾシカに何度か遭遇しました。葉が色づき始めていて、また違う季節にも訪れてみたいなと思いました。

I think the quality of this type of tour really depends on the guide, and I believe that Miura, who attended us this time, is one of the best guides.

In the evening, we went to a restaurant bar called Piccadilly in Utoro, and that was also fantastic!

I will definitely visit again the next time I come to Utoro.

この手のツアーはガイドさん次第かなと思うのですが、今回アテンド頂きました三浦さんは最高のガイドさんの1人ではないかと思います。

夜はウトロでピカデリックというレストランバーをやられてて、そちらも最高でした♪

また次回ウトロに訪れた際は伺わせていただきます。

In the morning, we spent three hours at Shiretoko Five Lakes. Although it was a time when we could enter without a guide, having one made the experience enjoyable with explanations about the flora and fauna, as well as quizzes. For lunch, we chose a restaurant from the recommended places around the Utoro roadside station. In the afternoon, we went on a three-hour trekking adventure on a wild animal path. The guide stopped every few minutes to provide explanations, so we were able to walk comfortably without getting out of breath. Although it was a six-hour trek in total, including the time for explanations, I think it's a tour that anyone can enjoy, even if they're not very confident in their physical fitness. We also searched for mushrooms and took photos of deer and squirrels along the way, making it a fulfilling tour. It may be common knowledge, but I think it's a good idea to bring a portable toilet. Since it was early September, it wasn't cold, but I recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants because of the grass. I included photos that don't spoil the experience.

朝は3時間の知床五湖。ガイドさん不要でも入れる時期でしたが、ガイドさんがいることで動植物の説明やクイズなどがあり楽しく歩くことができました。昼食はウトロの道の駅周辺のおすすめ店から1店を選び各自食事。昼からは3時間の獣道トレッキングでした。数分間に1回ガイドさんが立ち止まり説明をしてくれるので、1回も息があがらず快適に歩けました。朝昼6時間トレッキングですが、説明の時間もあるので、体力に自信がなくても大丈夫なツアーだと思います。途中でキノコを探したり、鹿やリスなどの写真を撮ったり、充実のツアーでした。常識かもわかりませんが、携帯用トイレは持って行くべきだと思いました。9月初旬だったので寒くはなかったのですが、草が生えているので長袖長ズボンが良いと思います。写真はネタバレしないものを載せました。

On the day of the event, when I arrived at the meeting point indicated by Veltra, I found that the location had changed, and I had to walk for about 20 more minutes, almost making me late. I wish they had communicated the change in the meeting point properly. The boat clearly felt overcrowded, but since it was small, we were able to enter the cave and truly experience the blue color. The sea was relatively calm on the way to the Blue Cave, allowing us to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

参加当日にveltraで案内された集合場所に行ったら、集合場所が変わっていて、さらに20分くらい歩くことになり、危うく間に合わないところでした。集合場所変更は、きちんと連絡してほしいです。ボートはあきらかに店員オーバーな感じでしたが、小型のため、洞窟の中にはいることができて、青さを実感することができました。青の洞窟までは、海も比較的穏やかで、周辺の景色を楽しむことができました。

On the day, due to strong winds and high waves, we only went on the river instead of the lake, but with the clear kayak, we could really feel the transparency up close. I felt refreshed being close to the wind, greenery, and water. The staff were also kind, and it was fun.

However, it was stated to be two hours, but with the explanation and moving around, we were actually on the kayak for about 40 to 45 minutes, which felt short for the price.

It was a refreshing experience that I would like to do again.

当日は風強く波が高いため、湖には出ず川のみでしたが、クリアカヤックならではですが、透明度を身近に感じられました、風や緑や水を身近に感じられリフレッシュできました、
スタッフの方々も親切で、楽しかったです

ただ、２時間と記載ありましたが、説明レクチャー移動などで

実際カヤックに乗ってるのは40から45分程度で価格に対しては短い印象でした、

また行きたいと思う清々しい体験でした

In the morning, I took a round trip around Shiretoko Five Lakes, and thanks to the favorable weather, I was able to see some truly wonderful scenery. In the afternoon, I went trekking in the primeval forest, exploring animal trails that differ from the walking paths. Although some areas were difficult to walk due to being unmaintained, I felt a closer connection to the forest and encountered beautiful views and many sights. Along the way, the guide shared various information about the creatures, plants, forest, and history of Shiretoko in a detailed manner, allowing me to learn many things I wouldn't have noticed if I had just wandered alone. I had a very enjoyable and fulfilling time. If I had more time, I would have loved to visit again. I plan to come back to Shiretoko.

午前は知床五湖を一周、天候に恵まれたこともあり、とてもすばらしい景色を見ることができました。
午後は原生林トレッキングとして、遊歩道とは異なる獣道を散策、整備されていない分歩きにくいところもありますが、より森らしさを近く感じられ、素敵な景色とたくさん出会えました。
道中はガイドの方が知床の生き物、植物、森、歴史などのさまざまなことを丁寧に話してくださり、自分1人で散策するだけでは気づけないことをたくさん知ることができ、とても楽しく充実した時間を過ごせました。
時間に余裕があればもう一度訪れたかったくらいです。
また知床に来ようと思います。

In the morning, after the lecture, I entered the Shiretoko Five Lakes area, but after about 100 meters, we received information through the guide's radio that a bear had been spotted at the lakes. We quickly turned back to the entrance and changed our plans to go trekking in the afternoon, visiting Shiretoko Five Lakes then. The guide provided the necessary explanations, but to be honest, I wished there had been more detailed information that someone knowledgeable could have shared without me having to ask questions. The trekking course included places that are hard to access on your own, which was very nice. If I participate again, since this is not a cheap tour, I would want to choose a guide with higher reviews.

午前中、知床五湖を訪れようとレクチャー後に入り口を入りましたが100メートルほどでガイドさんの無線機に熊が五湖で出たと言う情報が入りました。すぐに入り口に引き返し午後予定されていたトレッキングに急遽変更となり、午後知床5湖を訪れました。ガイドさんの説明は必要な分はありましたが欲を言うと、こちらから質問しなくても、もう少し詳しく勉強している方だからこそ知っている情報をもっといろいろ知りたかったです。トレッキングのコースは自分ではなかなか行けない場所もありとてもよかったです。次回参加するとすれば、安いツアーではないので口コミ評価のもっと高いガイドさんを選びたいと思ってしまいます。

It was an experience that was easy to understand, so even as a first-timer, I felt comfortable. The water was very clear and beautiful, which was impressive. I was able to take many photos, making it a great memory. The weather wasn't perfect, but I think it would be amazing on a sunny day.

分かりやすく説明していただいた後の体験となるので、初めてでも大丈夫でした。透明度が高く水面がとてもきれいで感動しました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえたので、記念になりました。天気が今ひとつだったのですが、晴れの日は最高だと思います。

I was able to stroll through the clear Shiretoko Five Lakes while receiving explanations from a guide who is well-versed in the conditions of the Shiretoko Peninsula, knowledge that cannot be gained from guidebooks or books. Although I have climbed quite a few mountains, primarily in the Northern Alps, I felt a deeper connection to nature. Thank you very much.

ガイドブックや本の知識からでは得られない知床半島の状況を熟知したガイドさんに、3時間ほど説明を受けながら快晴の知床五湖を散策できました。北アルプスを中心にかなりの山に登っている者ですが、自然により深く触れられた感じがしました。ありがとうございました。

The Russian boatman delivered puns in fluent Japanese, and it was really funny. The Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful.

ロシア人の船頭さんが流暢な日本語でダジャレの雨アラレを降らせます。
それがすごく面白かったです。
青の洞窟はすごく綺麗でした。

The guide, Ayano, was indeed a veteran as mentioned in the reviews, and we had a fun time exploring. She taught us various things, including information about bears and deer, how to determine the age of plants, and that in case of getting lost, it's good to eat the leaves and fruits of thorny plants. The binoculars were fantastic; they were ready to use without needing to adjust the focus, and I was thrilled to see faraway sights clearly.

It seems that during the hot summer, bears tend to wander near the roads around Shiretoko Goko in the evening, so I thought I would drive there during that time on my next visit. On the way back, I was quite happy to see a mother bear and her cubs at the Iwaubetsu River, although unfortunately, they didn't catch any salmon. Thank you for pointing out the viewing spots from the top of the cliff.

ガイドの綾野さんは口コミ通りベテランで楽しく散策できました。
熊や鹿の情報情報はもちろん、植物の年齢の見方や、遭難した時はトゲのある植物の葉っぱや実を食べると良いこと等様々なことを教えていただきました。
双眼鏡が素晴らしくピントを自分で調整しなくてもすぐ使え遠くがはっきりと見え感激しました。
熊さんは暑い夏は夕方知床五湖の近くの道路付近をうろうろしているらしく、次回行く時はその時間帯にドライブしてみようと思いました。
帰り道イワウベツ川に鮭を捕りに来た熊さん母子が見れてかなり嬉しかったです。残念ながら鮭は捕れませんでしたが。崖の上から見えるポイントを教えていただきありがとうございました。

I received a message the day before, and they picked me up at the hotel. The walking tour lasted three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, and as it is called a walking tour, it was a leisurely stroll that children and older participants could join. We were blessed with good weather, and the guide provided detailed explanations, showcasing the wonderful scenery of Shiretoko and the animals we encountered by chance, making it a very fulfilling tour. The only disappointment was that we couldn't see any bears. I thought it would be nice to participate in a different season as well.

For lunch, we returned to Utoro, where the guide introduced us to a recommended restaurant. By the way, I had a seafood bowl.

前日に連絡があり、ホテルにピックアップしてくれました。午前3時間、午後3時間のウォーキングですが、ウォーキングと言うだけあって、のんびり散策できお子さん、年齢が高い方も参加できるのではないでしょうか。天気にも恵まれ、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明、素晴らしい知床の景色、偶然出会う動物などとても充実したツアーでした。残念なことは熊を見ることができなかったことくらいです。また、違う季節で参加しても良いと思いました。
お昼はウトロまで戻り、ガイドさんがおすすめの店を紹介してくれます。ちなみに私は海鮮丼を食べました。

The wind was strong, and we weren't sure if we could reach the cave, but they took us there while keeping an eye on us. We could see the fish in the sea clearly, and the cave was glowing with a fluorescent blue light. Thank you for this precious experience.

風が強く、洞窟まで行けるか分からない状況でしたが、私たちの様子を見ながら連れていってくれました。海の魚たちがよく見えて、洞窟は蛍光のブルーで光っていました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

Despite the heavy rain on the day of the tour, which caused the road to Shiretoko Goko to be closed and led to changes in the itinerary, the guide, Ayano, was incredibly flexible and responsive. I am truly grateful for her assistance. It was a good decision to request rubber boots in anticipation of the rain. Thanks to that, even when it started to rain during the walk, I was able to walk steadily without slipping. There were fallen trees throughout the area to preserve nature, and I learned that these fallen trees play an important role in the natural cycle, awakening my awareness of the forest's vitality. This is a place that you might pass by without noticing, so I highly recommend taking a guided tour. The weather affected the scenery, so I rated it as "good," but the content was undoubtedly "excellent!" Thank you very much.

当日大雨で知床五湖への道が通行止めになってツアーが変更になったり、その後開通してまた当初のツアーに戻ったり、アクシデント続きでしたが、その都度柔軟に対応してくださり、ガイドの綾野さんには感謝しかありません。雨を予想して長靴をリクエストしておいて正解でした。おかげさまで途中で雨が降ってきても滑らず順調に歩けました。自然のままに保存するためあちこちに倒木がありましたが、倒木にも自然のサイクルの中で重要な役割があることを教えていただき、森の生命力の強さに目が覚めた思いでした。知らなければ通り過ぎてしまうところでしたが、ここは是非ガイド付きのツアーをお勧めします。天候に左右されて景色はいまいちだったので評価は「よかった」ですが、内容は文句なく「最高！」です。ありがとうございました。

The guide, who was a very interesting captain, made the experience really enjoyable, and it was so much fun to feed the seagulls and black-tailed gulls as an option! Seeing such a beautiful blue sea felt like it changed my perspective on the world!

とっても面白い船長さんのガイドと
オプションでカモメやウミネコに餌をあげることができてとっても楽しかったです！
あんなに綺麗なブルーの海をみたら　世界観が変わった気がしました！

The captain was very kind, and he explained the locations in a fun way, making it a really enjoyable time! ✨

I was a bit worried about the weather since it was cloudy, but he told us that the light blue inside the cave looked beautiful and that it was actually the perfect timing, even better than on a sunny day, which made me very happy!

He also guided us to various places besides the cave, so I was very satisfied. ☺️

There are many cruises to choose from, but I think if you're going, this one is definitely the best choice! Thank you for a wonderful time!!

船長さんがとても優しくて、場所の解説も楽しくお話ししてくださりとても楽しいひとときでした✨

天気が曇りで少し天候の心配をしていたのですが、洞窟の中のライトブルーがとても綺麗に見え、晴れよりも絶好のタイミングだったと教えてくださり嬉しい気持ちになりました！

洞窟以外にもいろんな場所に案内してくださるのでとても満足でした☺️

いろんなクルーズがあり悩んでましたが、もし行かれるならここ一択かなと思えるくらい楽しかったです！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました！！

I was able to fully enjoy Shiretoko in just one day. I was moved to encounter wild deer and squirrels! The guide introduced various things at a good pace, and there was no wasted time, which was great. The guide was also very knowledgeable, and listening to them sparked my interest in plants, animals, and the terrain. The measures against brown bears were thorough, which made me feel safe.

Regarding COVID-19 measures, alcohol disinfection, mask-wearing, and avoiding crowded places were all properly implemented, allowing me to participate with peace of mind.

The weather wasn't very good this time, so I would like to see a sunny Shiretoko someday. Of course, I would like to book with Veltra!

1日みっちり知床を満喫することができました。
野生の鹿やリスにも出会えて感動です！
ガイドの方が良いテンポで、かつ余すとこなく色々紹介してくださり、無駄な時間がなかったのも良かったです。
またガイドの方は知識も豊富で、話を聞くと植物や動物、地形に対する興味が湧いてます。
ヒグマ対策も万全で、安心でした。

新型コロナウイルス感染症対策についても、アルコール消毒やマスク着用、三密回避など、しっかりと行われており安心して参加することができました。

今回は天気があまり良くなかったので、またいつか晴れた知床も見てみたいです。もちろん、私はベルトラさんでお願いします！

While searching for something memorable from my trip to Otaru and Sapporo, I found this Blue Cave tour and booked it right away! On the day of the tour, I was heading to the meeting point by taxi when I received a call saying, "Thank you for today. If you have any questions about the location, please feel free to contact us." It was a kind gesture. When I arrived at the meeting place, others were already there, and the captain was distributing life jackets while engaging in friendly conversation, which created a warm atmosphere and everyone was smiling.

And off we went! I was surprised by how fast the boat was going, but it felt great. The captain shared many stories and took pictures with us. His fluent Japanese and puns were all wonderful! Finally, we arrived at the much-anticipated Blue Cave—truly a stunning blue that made me wonder if I was really in Hokkaido. I learned that cloudy days make the blue appear even more vibrant, and that day was perfect for visiting the Blue Cave.

The boat itself isn't very large, but I think it's definitely worth the ride. I would love to go again if I have the chance. It became a great memory. Thank you!

小樽、札幌の旅行で何か思い出に残るものはないかと探していたときにこちらの青の洞窟ツアーを見つけすぐに予約しました！当日はタクシーで乗り場へ向かっていたのですが集合時間前にお電話があり「今日はよろしくお願いします。場所等わからなければすぐにご連絡下さいね。」と親切に連絡をくれました。集合場所にはすでに他の方も来ていて船長さんがライフジャケットを配りながらも和気あいあいな会話が場を和ませみなさん笑顔でした。さぁ、出港！思いの外スピードが出て驚きましたがとても気持ち良かったです。色々なお話をたくさんしてくれて写真におさめました。流暢な日本語、ダジャレ(笑)どれも素晴らしかったです！そしてお楽しみの青の洞窟へ到着〜一面本当に綺麗な青でここが北海道？と思うほど感動しました。晴天より曇りの日の方がより青く見えるとのことでその日は絶好の青の洞窟日和でした。船自体は正直大きくはないですが乗る価値は十分にあると思います。また機会があれば乗りたいなと思います。いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！
