All Reviews for Cruises

The visibility was average. Since it's nature, you can't know until the day of. There was excitement as we were taken to the fish spots, and on this day, there were even small sharks.

透明度は、普通でした。
何せ自然相手なので当日にならないとわからないです。
お魚ポイントに連れて行くのでワクワク感あり、この日は、小さなサメもいました。

I was truly moved by the beautiful sea!
You can see plenty of fish and coral!
It was an exciting 30 minutes for both kids and adults!
Thank you for the fun time! ♪

本当にきれいな海で感動しました！
魚もサンゴもたくさん見られます！
子どもも大人も大興奮の30分でした！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました♪

They took us to many points on the glass boat, and miraculously, we were able to see both sea turtles and manta rays. It became the best memory! ❤️

グラスボートでたくさんポイントに連れて行って下さり、奇跡的に海亀もマンタも見れました、最高の思い出になりました❤️

I was worried about the impact of the typhoon, but I was able to enjoy myself even with the rain and wind. The driving was impressive, stopping the boat at various points of interest and rotating it! I was able to see sharks, tropical fish, and rare corals, and I was very satisfied to encounter the "symbol of happiness," the sea turtle.

台風の影響で心配していましたが、雨と風がある中でも十分楽しめることができました。見どころのあるポイント、ポイントで船を止める、回転するなど運転は見事プロの技でした！サメや熱帯魚、珍しい珊瑚も見れましたし、「幸せの象徴」ウミガメにも出会うことができて大変満足しました。

Wow! I was the only passenger!! It was a private charter. I got to see sea snakes and turtles napping, which was really rare. You absolutely should ride the glass-bottom boat! It was so good that I might consider riding it again next time I go.

な、な、なんとー！乗員が私だけ！！
貸切でした。
ウミヘビや、亀のお昼寝も見れてとってもレアでした。グラスボートは絶対に乗るべきです！次回行ってもまた、乗るかもって思うくらい良かったです。

Although it was a short time, I was able to see many wonderful things, such as sea turtles and beautifully colored fish. I'm also grateful that I could ride for a lower price than if I had booked on-site.

短い時間ではありましたが、ウミガメやキレイな色の魚など、素敵な物がたくさん見れました。現地で申し込むより安く乗れたのも有難いです。

At Kabira Bay, I was able to see coral and tropical fish, and the scenery was amazing. The explanations were thorough, making it easy to understand. However, the waves were a bit high, so I couldn't make it to the sea turtle spot, which was disappointing. I would like to try again when the sea is calm.

川平湾の珊瑚や熱帯魚を見る事ができ、また、景色もサイコーでした。説明もしっかりとされるので、わかりやすかったです。ただ、波が少し高かったので、ウミガメスポットまで、行くことが出来なくて、残念でした。海が穏やかときに、再トライしたいです。

I was able to see four whales!

Initially, when I applied, I was told, "It's rough weather..." and the next day, "We don't have enough participants..." so I was half resigned to not going. However, I received a message saying, "The afternoon trip on January 31 will depart," and I participated.

I had joined a few years ago, but at that time, I could only see the splash after the jump, so I wanted to try again. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but they just kept coming—four of them, haha! I even got to see a sea turtle!

I also learned about whale behavior and their calls, so I was very satisfied.

When the blow (spout) happened, Mizuki, our tour guide, told us, "This means you'll have a happy year," and since it happened, it looks like this year will be a good one!

会えましたよ４頭も！

当初、申込したら「シケで…」とか、翌日は「人数が満たない…」と言われ半ば諦めていたのですが「1/31午後便出港になる」と連絡を頂き、参加してきました。

数年前にも参加したのですが、そのときはジャンプ後の波しぶきしか見れなかったのでリベンジ参加。
なので正直期待していなかったのですが、出るわ・出るわ４頭もｗｗ
ついでにウミガメにも会えるとは！

クジラの生態や、鳴き声等も学べたし満足でした。

潮吹き（ブロー）が掛かると、「その一年幸せになる」ともツアコンのミズキさんに教えて頂き、掛かったので今年は良い一年になりそ♪

I took the opportunity to participate since the period for whale sightings is limited. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication before boarding the boat and arrived at the whale watching point. While overlooking the vast ocean, we waited on the deck for the whales to appear, but whether they show up or not is a matter of luck. In a way, I think it was a valuable experience!

せっかくの機会だし、クジラが現れてくれる期間も決まってるとの事なので参加させて頂きました。
船酔いが心配だったので酔い止めを飲んで参加し、船に乗ってホエールウォッチングポイントへ到着。
大海原を見渡しながら、クジラの出現を甲板上で待つ訳ですが、現れる、見える、見えたは運次第です。
ある意味、貴重な体験をしたとも思います！

I was satisfied with the course content, which was just right and kept me entertained with mini concerts. Even during COVID, I appreciated the thorough safety measures that were in place.

ミニコンサートがあったりと退屈せず、ちょうどよいコース内容で満足できました。コロナのなかでしたが、対策もしっかりされていてありがたかったです。

I had a wonderful time.
The surprise cruise was well-received.
If there's another opportunity, I would love to do it again.
I also recommended it to my friends!

優雅な時間を送れました。
サプライズのクルージング喜んでもらえました。
また何かの機会があったらお願いします。
友達にも進めました！

Before we even set off, the tropical fish gathered around, making for an exciting departure. The captain's explanations were very easy to understand. Even after disembarking, the captain answered all my questions without a hint of annoyance. He kindly explained things I didn't know, such as, "The fish come to the bottom of the boat to eat the algae that cling to it." I would love to go again.

出発する前から熱帯魚が寄ってきてわくわくしながらの出発になりました。
船長の説明はとても分かりやすかったです。
下船後も船長にいろいろと質問しても、嫌な顔一つされずに答えていただきました。『船底に魚が寄ってくるのは船底に付着している藻を食べるためによって来るんですよ。』というような、知らなかったことを丁寧に教えていただきました。
また、行きたいです。

Due to the impact of COVID-19, I received notice that the tour could not be conducted after my reservation was confirmed. While I understand that this is unavoidable, I am very disappointed as I had planned it as a birthday celebration. In a place where I have no familiarity, I had to quickly come up with another plan (since the cruise is not available with other companies in the prefecture, I switched to a hotel dinner, etc.).

For those considering using this plan for anniversaries or celebrations, I recommend confirming whether the tour is confirmed before making a reservation, as you may need to inquire to find out.

コロナの影響で、予約確定後に催行できないと連絡を受けました。
仕方がないこととは思いつつ、誕生日祝いのプランにしていたのでとてもガッカリです。
土地勘のない旅先で急遽別のプラン(クルーズは県内では他の会社でなしとのことでホテルディナー等に切りかえ)を考えることになりました。

記念日やお祝いでこのプランを利用しようと考えている方は、催行決定しているかどうか確認(問い合わせしないとできないかもしれません)してから予約をすることをおすすめします。

This is my fourth time in Okinawa, and I participated in the sunset cruise BBQ that I learned about this time. As expected, there were few passengers due to COVID, but the crew's attentive service was great. I would like to participate again next time. The wind was a bit strong, and the grill's flame went out a few times, but I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

沖縄は４回目、今回知ったサンセットクルーズBBQに参加
さすがにコロナで乗客は少なかった、乗員の配慮サービスは
良かったです。次回もまた参加したいと思います。
風が少し強くてコンロの火が消えたりしたけど、楽しく過ごせました
ありがとうございました。

If you come to Ishigaki Island, you must ride the glass-bottom boat.

The captain takes you to places where you can see fish. In the end, he took us to a spot where we could see sea turtles.

Due to COVID-19 measures, they have arranged the seating to maintain distance by leaving one seat empty between passengers.

This is definitely something you should experience.

石垣島に来たのなら必ず乗りたかったグラスボート。

船長さんは、魚が見れる場所に連れていってくれます。
最後には海亀が見れるポイントまで連れていってくれました。

コロナ対策で密にならないように席を1つあけて座るようになっています。

これは絶対に乗るべきです。

I was able to see a mother and baby whale up close. On the way there, we couldn't see any, and we were told to look for them on the way back, so I was half resigned to not seeing them. However, the captain found them for us. Moreover, since it was on the way back, I thought we would only see them for a few minutes, but we were able to watch for about 30 minutes. I had a refund in February because I couldn't see any, so I'm glad I got to see them this time.

親子のホエールが、間近でシッカリと観れました。行きの船では見れず、帰りながら探します。と言われていたので、半分諦めていましたが、船長さんが見つけてくれました。しかも帰りなので、数分かなっと思っていたのですが、30分程見せて頂けました。2月に見れずに返金だったので、今回は見れて良かったです。

I requested to change my reservation to the following day due to not-so-great weather on the day before my participation. They responded very flexibly. Although there were a few clouds on the day itself, I was able to see many fish and turtles by focusing on the key points. However, I was unsure about the availability of parking and ended up getting lost, asking the neighbors for help. If there was no parking available, I would have appreciated guidance to a paid parking option. Overall, I am satisfied.

参加前日に予約も当日あまりお天気が良くなく、予約日を翌日に変更依頼。とても柔軟に対応くださいました。当日は雲も少しありましたが、ポイントをおさえており、たくさんのお魚や亀を見ることができました。
ただ駐車場の有無がわからず当日迷いに迷いご近所さんに聞くことに。ないならないで、有料駐車場の案内が欲しかったかな。
トータルでは満足です。

Since the participants gathered early, we departed from Hamakawa Fishing Port in Chatan before the scheduled time. The day before had been stormy, so although the weather improved, the waves were high, and we started the tour feeling anxious. After about 30 minutes of sailing, we stopped the boat because a whale was spotted. We saw the whale for a moment, but it quickly dove and disappeared. While the boat was moving, it was fine, but when we were anchored, the waves rocked the boat, and I started to feel seasick. We waited for the next whale while not feeling great. Although there weren't whales appearing one after another, I felt fortunate to see them up close, possibly thanks to the captain's skill, compared to another whale-watching boat nearby. I saw more whales than during a whale-watching tour I participated in last summer in Shiretoko, Hokkaido. One point I would like to mention is that the website should clearly indicate that there is a facility usage fee of 200 yen per person for departures from Chatan Port.

参加者が早めに揃ったので、定刻前に北谷浜川漁港を出港しました。
前日は嵐のような天気だったので、当日は回復したものの、波は高く不安を感じながらのツアー開始でした。
30分余り船は走ったところで、クジラ発見とのことで停泊します。
少しクジラは見えたのですが、すぐに潜ってしまい見えなくなります。
船を走らせているときは良いのですが、停泊していると波に揺られ船酔いが襲ってきます。気分のすぐれないなか次のクジラを待ちます。
次々とクジラが現れるということはなかったのですが、船長さんの腕が良かったのか、近くのもう一隻のウォッチング船よりも間近でクジラを見ることができ良かったと感じました。
以前夏に北海道知床で参加したホエールウォッチングよりもクジラを見ることができました。
一点、北谷港発は施設使用料が200円/人要することのHP上での表示をわかるようにして頂きたい。

I participated in this tour during my last trip to Okinawa as well. Yes, I'm a repeat customer! Just like last time, the food was delicious, and the night view was beautiful, which made me very satisfied. Additionally, the performers remembered me, which was another delightful experience. It turned into a night cruise where I could feel the warmth between people. ☆

This is completely unrelated to the tour, but I just realized that the "Diamond Princess" passed by nearby...汗

前回の沖縄旅行でも参加しました。そうです。リピーターです！
前回同様食事もおいしく、夜景もきれいで大満足でした。
また、パフォーマンスしていた方が覚えていてくれて、それもまた嬉しい出来事でした。人と人との温かさも感じられるナイトクルーズになりました☆
このツアーには全く関係の無いことですが、あの「ダイヤモンド・プリンセス号」が近くを通ったということを、今になって考えてみたら・・・汗

I participated early in the morning, and the weather was unusually nice for February. Just opening the windows of the glass-bottom boat and enjoying the ride was very pleasant. I was able to see various colorful fish, but I was especially happy to see a sea turtle. When it surfaced, everyone on the boat was excited and cheering! 😊

朝一で参加させていただきましたが、2月では珍しいほどの天候の良さで
グラスボートの窓を開けて乗っているだけでもとても気持ち良かったです。
色とりどりの魚たちも見れましたが、
やはりウミガメを見れたことがとてもうれしく、
水面に顔を出してきたときは船の中みんなで騒いでました(^^♪

I'm glad I was able to participate in the optional activity the day before the last day of my trip to Okinawa. There were only two couples, but we were able to see things up close. It was disappointing that we returned to port an hour earlier than scheduled. I overheard the staff talking and saying, "At least we got to see it," which was unfortunate.

沖縄旅行の最終日の前日にオプションを申し込みましたが、参加出来てよかったです。
２頭のカップルだけでしが、近くで見ることもできました。予定時間よりも、１時間も早く帰港したので残念でした。スタッフ同士の会話で(見れたからいいか)と、聞こえそれは残念でした。

The weather was not favorable, and the sea was rough, which caused a lot of seasickness, but we were able to see whales somehow. If I have the chance, I would like to try again.

天候に恵まれず海が荒れた為、大変な船酔いとなりましたが、なんとかクジラを見ることができました。
機会があったら、再挑戦してみたいです。

We participated in this sunset cruise as a family trip, coinciding with the timing of our younger child starting their career in spring. We were blessed with good weather on the day, enjoying our meal while gazing at the sparkling sea from the orange-tinted interior of the boat.

The food was more substantial than we had imagined, providing a satisfying experience for the price. After the meal, there was plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos on the deck. Although it was the last week of February, the deck felt a bit chilly as the sun set, so I think it would be good to have something to wear. I would definitely like to participate again on another occasion.

下の子供が春から社会人というタイミングの家族旅行でこのサンセットクルーズに参加。当日は天候に恵まれ、オレンジに染まる船内でキラキラ輝く海を眺めながら食事を楽しみました。
お料理は想像していたよりもボリュームがあり、お値段の割に満足感がありました。食事の後にデッキで景色を眺めたり写真を撮ったりする時間も充分にあります。2月の最終週でしたが、日が暮れてくるとデッキは風が少し肌寒く感じたので羽織るものがあると良いかと思います。またの機会には是非参加したいです。

The day I made my reservation, the weather was bad, and it got canceled, but I was able to go the next morning on an earlier flight. I appreciated the shuttle service to the hotel, especially since I'm directionally challenged. I took motion sickness medication before participating, so I was able to enjoy the experience without suffering from seasickness. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see a whale jump, but I did see a mother and her newborn baby whale, and I was moved by the multiple sightings of spouting.

予約した日は天候不良でキャンセルになりましたが次の日の午前便で行く事が出来ました
ホテルまでの送迎があるのが方向音痴の私にはありがたかったです
酔い止めを飲んで参加したので船酔いに苦しむ事なく楽しめました
残念ながら鯨のジャンプは見れなかったけれど生まれたばかりの赤ちゃん鯨の親子が見れたし、潮吹きは何度も見れて感動しました

The wait for the whales was long, but we were able to encounter them safely! Many guests were feeling unwell due to the rough boat movements, but the staff were very kind and accommodating, which was great!

クジラ待ちの時間が長かったですが、無事にクジラに遭遇することができました！船の揺れが激しくて気分が悪くなっているゲストが沢山いましたが、スタッフのみなさんがとても親切に対応されていて、良かったです！

I highly recommend it.

I participated in February, and the temperature was around 26 degrees with cloudy weather. Since I tend to get hot, a short-sleeve shirt was fine for me, but I think it's a good idea to have a light long-sleeve shirt prepared. It sways a lot, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. I was truly moved to see whales jump twice. It's a recommended tour.

是非お勧めします。

2月の参加でしたが、気温26度位で曇り。
私は暑がりなので半袖で大丈夫でしたが、薄い長袖を用意してると良いと思います。
よく揺れるので、前もって酔い止めを服用しておく事をお勧めします。
2回クジラがジャンプするとこが見れて、本当に感動しました。
お勧めのツアーです。

It was advertised as a tour of the vast ocean, but it seems we didn't actually go out into the open sea. However, it was a bit cloudy, and the food was good, so we enjoyed ourselves while dining.

大海原遊覧とのうたい文句ですが、外海には出ていなかったようです。
ただ、少し曇り空でしたし食事は良かったので、飲食しながら楽しめました。

I was looking for activities in Okinawa during winter, so I participated in whale watching for the first time. On the day of the trip, we only saw the heads of the whales a few times, and we couldn't see any jumps or spouts. However, it was exciting to watch the sea, wondering when we would see them!

Regarding seasickness, I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was fine. Some passengers seemed to be sitting in the corners of the boat and couldn't see the whales. It seems that those who are prone to motion sickness should take medication in advance.

冬の沖縄のアクティビティを探していたので、ホエールウォッチングに初めて参加しました。当日はクジラの頭が数回見える程度で、ジャンプや潮吹きは見ることができませんでした。ですが、いつ見えるかドキドキしながら海を見るのは面白かったです！
船酔いについてですが、酔い止めを事前に飲んでいたので私は大丈夫でした。一部の乗客は船の隅に座り込んでいてクジラを見ることはできなかったようです。乗り物酔いをする方は事前に内服していたほうがよさそうです。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy and the wind was strong, so the water was murky and didn't look as beautiful as in the pictures, but it was great to see various coral reefs and fish up close.

あいにく曇りで風強かったのでミスが濁って写真のように綺麗に見えなかったが、いろんな珊瑚礁及び魚を間近に見れてよかったです。

I was able to participate with peace of mind without having to search for the meeting place, thanks to the shuttle service. I am grateful that there was a shuttle just for my daughter and me. Although it was a time when there were few whales, we were lucky enough to see three of them. It was a great experience.

送迎があったので、集合場所を探すことなく、安心して参加できました。娘とたった二人のために送迎があったことには感謝です。時期的にはクジラが少ない時でしたが、運良く3頭も見られました。良い体験ができました。
