All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

It was thrilling. The captain sometimes acted as the pilot. The boat soared through the air. It was refreshing. The cruising lasted about 80 minutes.

スリルがあります。船長さんは時にはパイロット。飛ばす飛ばす船体が飛びます｡爽快でした。80分程のクルージングでした。

I participated on a clear autumn day. Since it was close to evening, the sea was also less crowded, and I had plenty of time to take photos inside the cave, which became a wonderful memory!

The captain's talk was sharp, and his driving was impressive! I think this is quite a unique activity (^^).

I joined from Sapporo, but I didn't know such a place existed, and I discovered a new charm of Hokkaido!

Next year, I want to invite my husband to join me!

秋晴れの日に参加致しました。
夕方近かったので海も空いていて
洞窟の中もじっくり撮影する時間を頂けて
大変良い思い出になりました！

船長のトークもキレッキレで
運転(？)もお見事！
なかなかないアクティビティかと思います(^^)

私は札幌からの参加でしたが
こんなところがあるとは知らず、
新たな北海道の魅力を発見致しました！

来年は夫も誘って行きたいと思います！

It was a cloudy afternoon in early October, but the boat had windows that could be opened in the front and on the sides, making it comfortable. When I wanted to feel the wind, I could move to the back seat and enjoy the scenery.

The friendly captain made the experience very enjoyable. The Blue Cave was beautiful, but the scenery along the way was also magnificent and truly representative of Hokkaido.

I walked to the meeting point, but it was closer to the end of the canal than I expected, so I got a bit lost. However, I was able to confirm my location quickly by calling the captain, which was a relief.

10月初旬の曇りの午後だったのですが、ボート内は前と横に窓が開閉できて、快適にいられました。風に当たりたいときは、後ろの椅子へ移動できたので景色も満喫できます。
気さくな船長がとても楽しく盛り上げてくれました。青の洞窟も綺麗でしたが、道中の景色も北海道らしく雄大ですごく良かったです。

集合場所まで歩いて行きましたが、思ったより運河の突き当たり寄りで、ちょっと迷ってしまいましたが、船長に電話してすぐに確認がとれたのでよかったです。

We rode in kayaks in pairs and headed towards the cave.
With the instructor, we entered the cave one pair at a time and experienced the beautiful blue water surface.
(It was different from what I had imagined, but it was beautiful.)
It was also a rare experience to see sea urchins and abalone on the way there and back.
It seems that there has been a lot of media coverage recently.
The instructor was polite and friendly, which made me feel comfortable participating.
At the end, the instructor sent photos taken during the trip to all participants via iDrop.
I think it would have been even better if they had been considerate about not sending photos of other groups, as some people may be sensitive about personal information handling these days.

3ペアでカヤックに乗り、洞窟へ向かいました。
インストラクターさんと一緒に1ペアずつ洞窟に入り、美しい青の水面を体験出来ます。
(想像していたものとは違いましたが綺麗でした)
行き帰りにウニやアワビを見られる体験も貴重でした。
TVなどの取材も最近多いようです。
インストラクターさんも丁寧で気さくな方で安心して参加できました。
最後、インストラクターさんが撮った写真をアイドロップで参加者一斉に送ってくださいます。
昨今、個人情報の取り扱いにナーバスな方もいらっしゃると思うので、他グループの写真は送らないよう配慮していただけると尚良かったかなと思いました。

Even in these times of COVID-19, I think I visited during the busiest season, but I was able to take my time and enjoy it! Not only the Blue Cave, but also other attractions were explained in a fun and entertaining way, making it a memorable experience. The boat ride felt like an attraction, and if you're looking for some thrills, I definitely recommend it! The meeting point was a bit hard to find, though.

コロナのご時世とは言え、1番の混雑期に行ったと思いますがゆっくり見せてもらえました！
青の洞窟だけでなく、他の見どころも面白おかしく説明していただいて楽しい思い出となりました。ボートもアトラクションみたいで、スリリングさを味わいたいのなら断然おすすめです！
合流場所だけが少しわかりにくかったです。

The cheerful captain makes the tour enjoyable. The sea is very beautiful, and I am satisfied. If you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is essential.

陽気な船長さんが楽しくツアーを盛り上げてくれます。
海もとてもきれいで満足です。
酔いやすい方は、酔い止め必須です。

We arrived earlier than our scheduled time, so it was helpful that we could depart early without any loss of time. I was worried about it being crowded during this season, but we had the place to ourselves, and the enjoyable conversation along with the wonderful scenery was truly soothing for the heart! I was moved to discover that there are such lovely places in Japan. Thank you very much.

予約時間より早く到着したので早めに出発して頂き時間のロスもなく助かりました。
この時期だから密にならないか心配してましたが私達だけの貸切で楽しいトークと素晴らしい景色に心癒されました！
日本にもこの様な素敵な場所があったとは感動です。ありがとうございました。

The foreign captain entertained us in various ways, so the round trip to the Blue Cave was enjoyable without getting bored. The driving is acrobatic, so those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication!

外国人船長がいろいろ楽しませてくれたので、青の洞窟までの往復も飽きずに楽しめました。運転がアクロバティックなので酔いやすい人は酔い止めを忘れずに！

It was a fluorescent blue that was different from what I expected! I was surprised! It was a mysterious world! Thank you!

思ってた青とは違う、びっくりすらぐらい蛍光色の青！でした！なんで！？って不思議な世界でした！ありがとうございました

It was my first experience kayaking, but I received a thorough briefing beforehand, and even after we got out to sea, the guide was very considerate, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was surprised to see so many sea urchins and starfish clearly through the clear kayak. Unfortunately, we couldn't enter the Blue Cave, but the guide took photos for us and chatted casually, making it a very satisfying experience. After the canoeing, I was also recommended a place for sea urchin rice bowl, and I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sea urchin from Shakotan.

カヤック初体験でしたが事前にレクチャーいただき海に出てからもガイドさんはとても気を遣っていただき安心して楽しめました。クリアカヤックからは海底がはっきりと見えるためウニやヒトデがとても多いことに驚きました。あいにく青の洞窟には入れませんでしたがガイドさんに写真を撮っていただいたり気さくにお話をしてくださり、大変満足いく内容でした。カヌー体験後、おすすめのウニ丼の店なども紹介いただき積丹の美味しいウニを堪能しました。

I participated on July 18, 2020. The weather was clear and the waves were calm, making it a perfect day for kayaking. The water was so clear that I could see all the way to the seabed, and I was able to observe many sea urchins and schools of fish clinging to the rocks from underneath the kayak. Furthermore, inside a pitch-black cave that could only be accessed by kayak, I had a truly mysterious experience where only the seawater touched by the paddle glowed a bluish-white. The guide was also very attentive, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any worries, and I was able to receive photos of myself kayaking after the experience.

令和２年の７月１８日に参加しました。天気は快晴で波も穏やか、絶好のカヤック日和でした。海の透明度は海底までくっきり確認できるほど高く、岩場に張り付く沢山のウニや魚の群れの姿を船底から観察することができました。さらに、このカヤックでしか進入できない真っ暗な洞窟のなかでは、オールに触れた海水のみが青白く輝く、とっても不思議な体験をしました。ガイドの方も丁寧で、不安なく楽しむことができ、またカヤックを漕ぐ姿を写真撮影して体験後に頂くことができました。

I participated in the Blue Cave for the first time with a friend from Hokkaido! My friend from Hokkaido had never been to the Blue Cave either, and it seems to be a relatively new attraction.

The canoe we used wasn't a regular canoe; it had a transparent bottom, allowing us to see the many sea urchins below! There were really a lot of them, and I was surprised.

Since the day we went was during high tide, the water level was just high enough to enter the cave. Inside the cave, it was pitch dark, and we cautiously made our way in. The reason it's called the Blue Cave is that when you turn around at the entrance, you can see the beautiful blue surface of the water.

When you tap the water surface, the spot you hit glows a brilliant emerald green, which was absolutely stunning! We also saw many divers in front of the cave. The deeper parts of the cave can be accessed by diving, and I've heard it's very beautiful there as well, so I would like to try diving next time.

It seems that canoeing offers more freedom and allows for various activities, so if you're visiting the cave for the first time, I recommend canoeing as it's relaxing and enjoyable! I'm also curious about visiting the cave when the water level is low, so I would like to participate again.

初めて青の洞窟に北海道出身の友達と参加しました！北海道出身の友達も青の洞窟は行ったことがなく、わりと最近出来た名所らしいです。
カヌーは普通のカヌーではなく底が透明のカヌーで下にいる沢山のウニが見られました！
本当に沢山いてびっくりしました。
行った日が満潮だったため洞窟に入れるギリギリの高さでした。
洞窟の中は真っ暗で探り探り入っていき、青の洞窟と言われる由縁は出る時に洞窟の入り口側へUターンをした時に青い綺麗な水面が見られます。
水面を叩くと叩いた箇所が光るようにエメラルドグリーンに輝きとても綺麗でした！！
洞窟前ではたくさんのダイビングの人達もみかけました。
洞窟の深いところはダイビングで行け、そこもとても綺麗らしいので次はダイビングもしたいなと思いました。
自由度はカヌーの方が高いらしく色々いけるらしいので、洞窟に初めていくのでしたらカヌーはゆっくりできて楽しめますのでおすすめです！
また水位が低い時の洞窟もきになりますので、参加したいと思います。

The captain was full of puns and consideration, and it was lively and fun. The covered boat provides peace of mind even in the rain. Even when the weather is good, there can be quite a bit of rocking, so make sure to get plenty of sleep the night before. If you're prone to motion sickness, take some medication and consider acupressure (around the wrist) for when you feel nauseous! Even in summer, it can feel chilly at times, so having a towel or scarf would be a good idea.

船長さんはダジャレあり気配りあり、元気で楽しかったです。屋根つきのボートで雨でも安心。
天気が良くても揺れがかなり激しい時もあるので、前日は睡眠をしっかり、酔い易い方は酔い止めの薬、酔った時に効くツボ押し(手首の辺り)など対策を！夏でも寒く感じる時もあるので、タオルマフラーなどあると良いと思います。

I experienced sea kayaking in mid-July. The weather was perfect, and I was able to see the calm Shakotan Blue with no wind or waves. I entered the sea in a transparent sea kayak, and when I looked at the seabed, I was surprised to see sea urchins living among the rocks! Shakotan's sea urchins are famous, but I didn't expect to see so many of them. It's all thanks to the high transparency of Shakotan's waters.

The Blue Cave involves moving through a completely dark cave. Once my eyes adjusted, I tapped the surface with my paddle, and it turned a beautiful blue! The emerald blue surface glowing in the darkness was magical.

Our guide shared information about the characteristics of Shakotan's sea, recommended delicious sea urchin rice bowl restaurants, and pointed out sightseeing spots for later, allowing us to fully enjoy Shakotan.

It was great that we could also share photos taken during the sea kayaking, so we could keep those memories.

I had a very valuable experience and enjoyed it so much that I want to try snorkeling next time. Thank you!

7月中旬にシーカヤックを体験しました。
お天気に恵まれて、風と波がなく穏やかな積丹ブルーを見ることができました。
スケルトンのシーカヤックで海に入り、海底を見るとウニがゴロゴロと岩場に生息していて驚き！
積丹のウニは有名ですが、まさかこんなにたくさんのウニが見られるとは思っていませんでした。
透明度が高い積丹の海だからこそですね。

青の洞窟は、真っ暗の洞窟の中を進みます。
目が慣れた頃に、パドルで水面を叩くとキレイな青色に！真っ暗闇の中でエメラルドブルーに光る水面は幻想的でした。

ガイドさんからは積丹の海の特徴、美味しいウニ丼のお店、この後の観光スポットを教えて頂き、積丹を大満喫できました。

シーカヤック中の写真も共有してもらえたので、思い出も残すことができるのはいいですね。

とても貴重な体験ができて楽しかったので、次回はシュノーケリングもやってみたいです。
ありがとうございました！

Amidst the various tours being suspended due to COVID-19, I was drawn to this beautiful photo of a mysterious world tour that I found. There were several tours to the Blue Cave, but I was right to choose this one, as many people have shared wonderful experiences about it.

We participated in a private tour with my two children, and we excitedly boarded the boat. The captain provided attentive and kind service, and we enjoyed a fun time filled with jokes as we made our way to the Blue Cave. My children had a great time standing at the back of the deck during the cruise.

The waves were such that the captain mentioned he was considering canceling the tour, but we hardly noticed them and had a great time. Unusually for this time of year, there were no other boats waiting, so we were truly lucky to take our time and fully enjoy the beauty of the Blue Cave.

Unfortunately, my daughter got seasick at this point, and the captain was very considerate, hurrying us back. However, he continued to offer us water and encouraged us to take our time until she felt better. We had a wonderful time. During that time, the captain also shared his dreams for the future, which deeply moved me.

I am truly grateful for the wonderful memories and time we spent. Thank you very much.

コロナでいろいろなツアーが運行停止中の中、
こちらで見つけた美しい写真に惹かれた神秘の世界のツアーでした。
いくつか青の洞窟へのツアーはありましたが、たくさんの方が素敵な体験談を投稿されているこちらのツアーを選んで正解でした。
子ども達２人と一緒に参加した3人で貸し切りツアーになり　ワクワクしながら船に乗り込み船長さんの丁寧で優しい対応とジョーク混じりのガイドの楽しい時間を過ごしながら目的の青の洞窟に到着しました。
子ども達は後ろのデッキに立ちながらこのクルーズをとても楽しんでいました。
船長さんが今日は中止にしようか迷ったと話されるほどの波のようでしたが、ほとんど気にならず楽しめました。
今回は　この時期には珍しく他に待機している船がいないとの事で　ゆっくりと時間をとって青の洞窟の美しさを堪能出来て本当にラッキーでした。
あいにく娘がこの時点で船酔いになり、船長さんが気にして下さり残りは大急ぎで帰ってきましたが　船を降りてからもお水をくださったり気分が良くなるまで好きなだけゆっくりして行ってください。と素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
その間　船長さんのこれからの夢なども語って下さり、澄んだ心に改めて感動しました。
本当に素敵な思い出と時間を過ごさせていただき感謝しています。ありがとうございました。

The weather was perfect, and the sea in Shakotan was truly clear, allowing us to see all the way to the bottom. When viewed from a clear kayak, we could see sea urchins scattered on the seabed, and it felt like we could reach down and grab them. The color of the sea was an indescribable blue (Shakotan Blue), and gliding smoothly over it in the kayak was the best feeling, melting away all the stress of daily life. Additionally, entering a cave formed by the cliffs, the dark cave was illuminated by light coming from the entrance, making the sea shine a beautiful blue! It was truly the "Blue Cave." We also had the incredible experience of being taken to places that could only be accessed by kayak, such as observing seabirds on the steep cliffs by the sea.

お天気にも恵まれ、積丹の海はホントに透明度が高く底までくっきりと見えます。クリアカヤックで見ると底にはウニがゴロゴロしていて、手を伸ばせば取れそうな感じ。海の色もなんとも言えない青い色（積丹ブルー）をしていて、その上をカヤックでスーッと滑るように移動していくのは、最高の気分で、日頃のストレスがすべて溶けてなくなりました。また、崖にできた洞窟の中に入って行くと、真っ暗な洞窟の中は入り口から差し込む光で、海が青く輝いていてホントにキレイ！まさに「青の洞窟」です。他にも、海から切り立った崖にある海鳥を見物したりとカヤックで無ければいけない場所に連れていってもらい最高に素敵な体験が出来ました。

The instructor was very kind and it was incredibly fun, making it easy for beginners and anyone to enjoy! The sea was really beautiful, and the caves were breathtaking!

This experience became such a wonderful memory that only those who have experienced it can truly understand, so I definitely want everyone to try it!

I heard that bringing a phone can be risky because it might fall into the sea, so I think it's a good idea to prepare a waterproof case that you can hang around your neck to take photos freely! I used a GoPro during the experience and was able to take many amazing pictures!

初心者でも誰でも簡単に楽しめるように、インストラクターさんがとっても優しくてすごい楽しかったです！とにかく海がすごい綺麗で洞窟も感動もんでした！

この感動は体験した人にしかわからないくらいすごいいい思い出になったので、ぜひみなさんにも体験して欲しいです！

携帯を持っての体験は海に落とす危険があるそうなので、首からさげれる防水ケースなどを用意すると自由に写真が撮れていいと思います！
私はGoProを持って体験しましたが、すごい素敵な写真が沢山撮れました！

On July 1, after the request for self-restraint was lifted, my family of four participated in kayaking. It was everyone's first experience, and since my mother, who is over 60, was with us, we had some concerns. However, after calling in advance and receiving detailed explanations, we applied without hesitation.

On the morning of the event, we first received a lecture on how to hold the oars, paddle, turn, and safety precautions on land, and then we set off for the cave exploration at sea level 0m! The sea around the Shakotan Peninsula was more beautiful than I had imagined, shining in a mystical blue. It was so clear that you could see to the bottom, and the sea urchins scattered around seemed within reach. As we progressed deeper into the cave, it became pitch dark, but gradually our eyes adjusted. When we splashed the surface with the oars, the water sparkled brightly, allowing us to see the stunning Shakotan blue even more beautifully.

Thank you to our instructor, Mr. Aizawa, and the two staff members who were very friendly and took care of us from start to finish. It was a fun experience. I heard that there will be filming for EXILE on the 7th. I'm looking forward to watching the broadcast.

外出自粛後の７月1日家族4人でカヤックに参加しました。
全員初めての経験で、60歳越えの母も一緒だったので不安もあり事前に電話でお聞きしますと、詳しく説明頂き迷いもなく申し込みました。
当日の朝、最初は陸でオールの持ち方.こぎ方.回転の仕方.注意点等レクチャーを受けて、いざ海抜0mの洞窟探検に出発へ❗
積丹半島の海は、想像以上に神秘的なブルーに輝く美しさでした。海の底まで透き通り、あちこちに点在する雲丹が手を伸ばせばつかめるようでした。洞窟の奥へと進んで行くと真っ暗やみになりますが、徐々に目が慣れてきてオールで水面を叩くと不思議にぱぁーっと水面が明るく輝き一段と美しい積丹ブルーを見る事が出来ました。
インストラクターの相澤様、はじめ２名のスタッフの方は、とても気さくで最初から最期までお世話になり有り難うございました。楽しい体験でした。
7日には、EXILEの撮影もあるとお聞きしてます。放映を見るのが楽しみです。

It was unfortunately rainy, but we were able to enjoy the sightseeing without getting wet since the boat had a roof.

The Russian guide spoke Japanese fluently and occasionally made jokes in Japanese, which was funny.

Also, the Blue Cave is beautiful and mysterious. There's no doubt you'll create wonderful memories there.

Additionally, since it was a rainy day and the sea was rough, the boat swayed a bit. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication in advance!

あいにくの雨でしたが、屋根が付いてるボートなので濡れずに観光ができました。

ロシア人のガイドさんは日本語がペラペラです。時折、日本語でギャグも言ってきます笑。

そして、青の洞窟は美しく神秘的。最高の思い出ができることは間違いなし。

また、雨の日で海が荒れていたので船が多少揺れました。酔いやすい方は、事前に酔い止め薬を飲むといいと思います！

There were foreigners, so they explained to the customers in both English and Japanese. The explanations were very polite, and the humorous speaking style made it enjoyable. Thank you very much.

外国人もいたので、英語と日本語でお客様に説明されていました。とても丁寧な説明で、ユーモアな喋り口調で楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was a beautifully sunny day. The captain's stories were very enjoyable, and the boat had a roof, with the back designed like an open deck, which made it a lot of fun! The captain was very kind, stopping the boat at interesting spots and sharing fascinating stories. He even asked if I was cold, showing great consideration. I'm really glad I participated!

すごく快晴の日でした
船長さんの話がとても楽しくて、ボートも屋根があって、後ろはオープンデッキのようになってて、とても楽しめました！
見どころ見どころで船を停止させ、面白い話を聞かせてくれたとても優しい船長さんです。
寒くないですか？と気を使っていただいたり、とても参加して良かったです！

Unfortunately, it was drizzling, but there was no problem at all with the 13-person boat that had a roof and windows (for reference, most of the other boats we saw near the cave had no roofs and their passengers were wearing raincoats). Captain Alexei provided guidance in fluent Japanese and English, including puns, which everyone enjoyed. It was said that the blue of the cave looks better on cloudy days, and indeed, we were able to see a wonderful shade of blue that we had never seen before, and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

あいにく小雨の降る天気でしたが、屋根/窓のある13人乗りボートで雨でも何ら問題ありません（参考まで、洞窟近くで見た他の船の殆どが屋根もなく雨合羽を着ていました）。船長のアレクセイさんは流暢な日本語と英語で乗船中はダジャレも含め案内して頂き皆楽しんでいました。洞窟の碧は曇りのほうが良いとのことでしたが、確かに今まで見たことのない素晴らしい”碧”が見れ、満喫しました！

It really is possible to create a truly enjoyable experience.

It was cloudy on the day of the tour, but I learned that the sea looks more beautiful when it's cloudy. You won't know until you try.

The guide, who always entertains us, also seemed to have a solid philosophy on life.

Even if the boat doesn't look luxurious, you can still create plenty of enjoyment.

I thought the eyes of the guide, who had that kind of spirit, were much clearer and bluer.

I'm glad I was able to experience this tour.

本当に楽しい体験というのは作れるものですね。

当日は曇りだったのですが、曇りのほうが海が綺麗に見えると学べました。
行ってみないと分からない。

いつも愉しませてくれるガイドさんでいながら、人生論もしっかり語っているようでした。

船のみてくれが豪華でなくても、楽しみは十分作っていける。

そんな意気込みを持った、ガイドのオジサンの目のほうがずっとキレイに澄んでいて青いと思いました。

このツアーを体験できてよかったです。

I parked my car at Katsuna Park and crossed the road (you can go under the road from the right side with your back to the sea). A young man from Russia, born in Japan, helped me at the reception. (I paid in cash, but I realized I had already completed the credit card payment through VELTRA and got a refund.) The departure was at 13:30, but we were about 10 minutes late (it's better to have some buffer time in your schedule). There is one temporary toilet at the boarding area, but it's better to take care of that somewhere else beforehand. It's best to have your luggage as small as possible. (It's not the kind of situation where you can drink juice while on board.) The boat shakes quite a bit; I get motion sickness easily, so it was tough. However, the Blue Cave was incredibly beautiful! (You can also go out on deck from the cabin to see it. It's even more beautiful than the photos posted!) You might get a little splashed (but it's not enough to need a raincoat). Since the boat has a cabin, it was nice to be sheltered from the sun. (I think it's good for colder weather too.) My parents in their 70s also said they had a great time.

勝納公園に車停めて、道路向かい（海を背中にして右側から道路下くぐって行けます）日本生まれのロシアの若者が受付してくれました。（現金払いましたが、VELTRAでクレジット決済済みに自分で気付き返金してもらいました）13:30発で、10分位遅れました（前後の予定は余裕持った方が良い）乗り場に1個、仮設トイレありますが、先にどこかで済ませて来た方がいいです。荷物はなるべく小さいほうがいいです。（ジュース飲みながら…という感じではないです）かなり揺れます、私は酔いやすいので、辛かった。でも、青の洞窟はすっごい綺麗でした！（キャビン出て甲板の上に上がって見ることも可能。投稿写真よりもっともっと綺麗です！））少しだけ、しぶきがかかります。（カッパ着るほどではない）船がキャビンなので、日差し避けられ良かった。（寒い時もいいと思う）70代の両親も楽しかったと言ってました。

I participated with my mother. It was cloudy when we joined, and I was worried because it had been raining in the morning, but even with the clouds, the cave was very beautiful and it was amazing!
I think Otaru can be fully explored in two days, so I believe you should include the Blue Cave in your schedule.
The voyage to the cave was also pleasant and thrilling, and it will definitely be a great memory.

母と2人で参加しました。午前中雨模様で参加した時も曇りだったので心配でしたが、曇りでも洞窟内はとても綺麗で最高でした！
小樽は2日あれば制覇できる場所だと思うので、スケジュールに青の洞窟は入れるべきかと思います。
洞窟に行くまでの航海も気持ちよくスリルもあり良い思い出になること間違いなしです。

The blue cave I saw on the early morning boat with no other people was very mysterious and beautiful, leaving a strong impression on me. The captain's cheerful guidance was also very charming and enjoyable, allowing me to fully enjoy the cruise with peace of mind. Thank you!

人の入っていない早朝便でみた青の洞窟は、とても神秘的で美しく感銘を受けました。船長さんの愉快な案内もとてもチャーミングで楽しくまた、安心してクルーズを満喫できました。
ありがとうございました！

I couldn't visit the Blue Cave in Italy or Okinawa, but I found out there is one in Otaru, so I went to check it out. I was able to fully enjoy the transparent blue waters. The round-trip cruise was also very meaningful, as the captain provided fun commentary and shared a wealth of knowledge, making for a great experience.

イタリアも沖縄も見られなかった青の洞窟。小樽にもあると知って行ってきましたが、透き通った青を満喫できました。往復のクルーズも、船長さんの楽しいおしゃべりと豊富な知識でいろいろと案内していただき、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。

It was a very enjoyable boat cruise. The scenery reminiscent of Jurassic Park, in addition to the destination of the Blue Cave, was fantastic. The captain's jokes were also funny, and the whole family had a great time. Thank you very much.

非常に楽しいボートクルーズです。目的の青の洞窟以外にもジェラシックパークを連想するような景色も最高でした。船長のオチのわかるシャレも面白く家族全員楽しい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

Blessed with good weather, the Shakotan Blue. I was impressed looking into the "mysterious blue." The captain's guidance was also great! The 90-minute cruising, with a final round in the open sea, was refreshing. I'm glad I went!

好天に恵まれての、積丹ブルー。「神秘の青」をのぞきこんで、感心しました。船長さんのご案内もGOOD！９０分のクルージング、最後に外洋での一廻りは爽快さを演出してくれました。行って良かった！

It was drizzly weather, but the boat had a solid roof and windows, so I didn't need to wear a raincoat and could enjoy cruising with just a life jacket. I had no worries about taking photos because of the windows. There was a deck, and the boat stopped at sightseeing points. I had plenty of time to take pictures on the deck while listening to enjoyable commentary.

Above all, the scenery is stunning! I was told that on cloudy days, the blue looks deeper than on sunny days, and I was truly moved by the rich, deep blue. Additionally, there were many small, cute bats about the size of half a little bird living in the caves, flying around above, adding to the sense of adventure. The dramatic cliffs along the route reminded me of Shiretoko.

I had no idea I could enjoy such beautiful natural scenery in Otaru. I heard that the sunset time is also recommended, so I would like to participate again.

小雨模様のお天気でしたが、しっかりとした屋根と窓のあるボートなのでカッパを着ることもなく、救命胴着のみでのクルージングでした。
窓があることで写真が撮りにくいのでは、という心配は無用です。デッキがあり、観光ポイントではボートは止まります。楽しい解説を聞きながらデッキで写真を撮る時間はじゅうぶんにありました。
なにより、風景が素晴らしいです！晴れよりも曇りの日の方が青く見える、と言われましたが、こっくりと深い青には感動しました。また、洞窟内には小鳥の半分ほどのサイズの小さなかわいいコウモリがたくさん住んでいて、上の方を飛び回っていて、秘境感もたっぷりと味わえます。航路の断崖絶壁の風景はダイナミックで、知床に通じるものがあります。
小樽でこんなに大自然の風景を楽しめるとは知りませんでした。サンセットの時間帯もお勧めだと聞いたので、また参加したいと思います。
