All Reviews for Cruises

I boarded with my 2-year-old child. As we left Naha Port and arrived at the point where the fish are, I was thrilled to see a sea turtle swimming right away! My child was also very happy, calling out "Turtle, turtle!" We were able to see a lot of coral reefs and fish, and it was great to see my child enjoying themselves. In the pre-trip briefing, it was mentioned that the visibility was 3 (cloudy but visible), but I think it was clearer than I had imagined. It wasn't as sharp as in an aquarium or underwater camera, but adults enjoyed it too.

2歳の子供と乗船しました。
那覇港を出て魚のいるポイントに着いたところで早速ウミガメが泳いでいて感動しました！子供もカメさんカメさんと大喜び。サンゴ礁もお魚も沢山見ることが出来、子供が楽しんでいる姿を見られて良かったです。
事前の説明では透明度は3(濁っているが見える)でしたが想像していたより見えたと思います。水族館や水中カメラのようなクッキリ具合ではありませんが、大人も楽しめました。

The weather was a bit bad, but we were able to enjoy underwater sightseeing. Since it was still February and a bit chilly, I was glad I could enjoy the sea without getting in the water. It was very popular with foreigners as well.

天気が少し悪かったですが、水中観光をすることができました。まだ2月で肌寒い時期だったので、水に入らず海を満喫できてよかったです。外国人の方にもすごく人気でした。

About one-third of the passengers seemed to be struggling with seasickness. Our family took some motion sickness medication and had a fantastic time, though... We were on board with a TV crew from Singapore, and even the coordinator ended up feeling unwell.

However, we were thrilled to see the whales jumping (I heard it's called breaching), which is something you don't get to see often. The staff were also very kind, which was great. This is a tour I definitely want to include next time I visit Okinawa in winter.

乗船客の1/3は、船酔いで大変そうでした。我が家は、酔い止め薬をバッチリキメて最高に楽しめましたが…
シンガポールからのテレビ取材クルーと同乗でしたが、コーディネーターのうちなんちゅまでダウンしてましたよ。

でも、なかなか見れない鯨のジャンプ（ブリーチって言うらしい）まで見れて最高でした。
スタッフさんも優しくてgood
冬の沖縄に行く際は、次も入れたいツアーです。

The underwater sightseeing was great. I was able to see clearly underwater, and they scatter food, so the fish come to gather around. The hotel buffet exceeded my expectations☆ It was delicious.

水中観光良かったです。
海の中もしっかりと見れましたし、餌をまいてくれるから魚も集まって来てくれます。
ホテルのビュッフェも期待以上でした☆
美味しかったですよ。

Initially, I had made a reservation for the 4th, but it was canceled due to rough waves, so I rebooked for the following day. They provided thorough communication in advance, allowing me to adjust my plans accordingly. I confirmed the status for the 5th by reaching out to them beforehand.

I was able to see whales, but following the guide's advice, I purchased motion sickness medication and took it. However, I still felt a bit nauseous, and among the participants, there were some who were severely seasick and couldn't enjoy the whale watching at all.

　当初は、4日に予約していましたが、波が荒いということで中止になり、翌日に再予約しました。事前連絡がしっかりしていたので予定を変更して行動しました。5日の可否についてはこちらから事前連絡して確認しました。
　クジラは見ることができましたが、添乗員のアドバイスで酔い止めを購入して服薬しましたが、少し酔ってしまい参加者の中には激しい酔いでクジラどころではない人もいました。

We used the service for her birthday. I was moved when a singer surprised us by singing a birthday song.

彼女の誕生日にご利用させていただきました。
サプライズで歌手の方がバースデーソングを歌っていただき感動しました

Before boarding, there is an explanation of the current wave conditions and water clarity. I believe the wave conditions are divided into four levels. On the day I boarded, it was at the "waves present" level, but the waves weren't too strong. The water clarity is also divided into four levels. On the day I boarded, it was at the "slightly murky" level, but I could see the fish and coral very well, which was great.

I participated alone, but both children and adults can enjoy it.

乗船する前に、本日の揺れ具合、透明度の説明があります。揺れ具合は確か4段階に分かれていたと思います。私が乗船した日は、「揺れます」レベルでしたが、それほど大きな揺れではありませんでした。透明度のレベルも4段階に分かれていたと思います。私が乗船した日は「少し濁っています」レベルでしたが、お魚もサンゴ礁も良く見え、とても良かったです。
私は一人で参加しましたが、子供も大人も楽しめます。

We were fortunate to have unusually great weather for this time of year, and I was very satisfied to see a variety of colorful tropical fish and a large group of giant clams. The clarity of the ocean is incredible.

この時期にしては珍しく絶好のお天気にも恵まれ、色とりどりの熱帯魚や大きなシャコ貝の群を見ることができて大満足でした。海の透明度が半端ないです。

The weather was clear, and the transparency of the water was amazing, allowing us to see the corals and fish very well. Additionally, the staff's explanations during the tour were easy to understand and great. I would love to board again if I have the opportunity.

晴れていたせいかさすがに透明度が素晴らしく、海中のサンゴや魚が良く見えました。また、戦中でのスタッフの方の説明も分かりやすく良かったです。また、機会があれば乗船したいと思います。

I was able to see the whale's back and tail fin a few times. I was excited when I saw them, but it was only for a short while, and at this price, it might be a bit high.

クジラの背中と尾ビレが何度かみれました。
見えた時は興奮したけど、ちょっとだったし、これでこの値段はちょっと高いかも

It was a great experience since I don't often have the opportunity to ride on a submarine. It would have been nice if there was sushi for the hotel lunch. There was chirashi sushi, but the sweet denbu was a bit much.

水中船もなかなか乗る
機会が無いので良い体験でした。
ホテルランチに寿司が有ると良かった。
チラシ寿司は、有りましたが
でんぶが甘いからねー。

I took a glass-bottom boat tour in Kabira Bay! The weather was unpredictable, and visibility underwater was poor... I couldn't see many fish, but I definitely spotted a sea turtle!

川平湾グラスボート遊覧船に乗船しました！
天候不順で、海中の視界が悪く...
ほとんど魚は見れませんでしたが、
ウミガメさんは、しっかり見つけました！

We participated in a dinner cruise as a couple at the beginning of the year. Both the Japanese and foreign staff were very friendly, and they promptly cleared the dishes after we finished eating, providing a stress-free service. The problem was the dinner food. To be honest, it wasn't delicious. The appetizers, main course, and buffet were all disappointing in taste. I understood why the cruise fee was low. However, perhaps a summer barbecue might be more satisfying. We ordered a course with diced steak and seafood gratin this time. It might be better to either raise the price a bit to improve the taste or switch to a buffet style to compete with variety. ← This is just my personal opinion. I think it was the shikuwasa beer? That was very delicious.

年始に夫婦でディナークルーズ参加しました。日本人スタッフも外国人スタッフも皆さん愛想よく食べ終わった後の食器もサッと下げてくれてストレスない接客でした。問題はdinner料理。ハッキリ言って美味しくありませんでした。前菜、メイン、ブッフェ、全てが残念なお味。クルーズ料金が安いのには理由があったのだと納得。ただもしかしたら夏のバーベキューなら満足できるのかも知れません。私達は今回サイコロステーキと魚介グラタンのあるコースを注文しました。もう少しお値段上げてでも味を見直すか、いっそブッフェスタイルで種類で勝負する方が良いのではないでしょうか？←個人的な勝手なコメントですが。シークヮーサービールだったかな？それはとても美味しかったです。

Everyone was a foreigner, but the attentive service provided by the Japanese staff was meticulous. I was able to spend my time comfortably. Their dedication was evident. Thank you very much.

皆は、外国人でしたが日本人に対応をさせた細やかなサービスでした。気持ちよく過ごすことができました。皆の一生懸命さが伝わりました。ありがとうございました。

The water was a bit murky, but I was thrilled to see so many fish coming close to me. The lunch at the Pacific Hotel was also great, with a variety of desserts, and the atmosphere inside was spacious and comfortable.

少し海の中は濁りは有りましたが、お魚が
近くに沢山寄って来てくれて感激しました。
パシフィックホテルのランチもデザートが充実していて店内もゆったりしていて良かったです

Since it was rainy in January, I chose the glass-bottom boat. I was taken to several spots where there were fish, and I was very satisfied. Due to the rain, it seemed that the turtles were waiting in the shallow waters, and I was able to see them.

I wish we could have stayed a little longer at the turtle spot. I'm not sure why the boat left so quickly.

Anyway, just being able to see the underwater world from the boat was very satisfying! Thank you.

1月で雨だったので、グラスボートを選択しました。何箇所か魚がいるポイントに連れて行って頂き大満足でした。雨の為、亀が浅瀬に待機していたようで見ることが出来ました。
亀がいるポイントに、もう少し長く居たかたったです。直ぐにボートが離れていったのはなぜか理由があるのかは、不明でした。
ともあれ、ボートに乗るだけで海の中が見れるのは
大満足でした！ありがとうございます。

It was our wedding anniversary, so we applied for the anniversary service. I was worried that it might have been forgotten, but they surprised us with a special arrangement, which became a wonderful memory. Thank you for the commemorative gift as well. The live performance was very homey and great. I would like to recommend this to others.

結婚記念日でしたので、アニバーサーリーサービスを申し込み、忘れられたかなって思っていたら、サプライズ的に演出していただき、良い思い出となりました。記念品もありがとうございました。
生演奏もアットホームでとても良かったです。
周りにも勧めたいと思います。

When the ship was about to depart, there was a delay in collecting the boarding passes (plastic numbered tickets), which caused some trouble, but the sea and the fish were beautiful and met my expectations.

船が出発するとき、乗船券(プラスチック板の番号札)の回収に手間取り、なかなか出発しないトラブルがありましたが、海や魚はきれいで期待通りでした。

It was disappointing that the visibility in the sea was not very good due to the heavy rain two days before the tour. I would like to participate next time when the visibility is better.

ツアーの前々日の大雨のため、海の中があまりよく見えなかったのが残念でした。次回は、よく見える時に参加したいです。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. I got seasick, but the staff were very kind, and I want to challenge myself again despite the seasickness.

くじらには会えず残念でした。船酔いしましたがスタッフの方の対応が優しく、船酔いに負けず再度チャレンジしたいです

The weather was bad, but I was able to enjoy the event on the boat and relax. The staff were kind. If I have the opportunity, I would like to use it again. The food is satisfying as long as you don't have overly high expectations.

天気が悪かったのですが、船の中でのイベントも楽しめゆっくりできました。スタッフの方は親切でした。機会があればまた利用したいと思います。料理も期待しすぎなければ満足です。

Suitable for both young and old, a unique experience to view underwater without needing to go scuba diving.

Would definitely recommend!

The waitress who took care of us made a balloon flower for my child. My child was very happy, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

お世話をして頂いたウエイトレスの方が、子供に風船で花を作ってくれました。子供も大喜びで、良い思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました‍♂️

You just need to bring the voucher and present it at the reception, and you can use it for a discount, which I think is great. Since it was the off-season, the scenery was a bit different from the usual photos, but the visibility in the water was good. The captain also made an effort to ensure we could see well, so I enjoyed it.

ヴァウチャーを持参して受付に出すだけですが、割引で利用できるので余暇っと思います。オフシーズンでしたので少し景色は普段よく見る写真とは違いましたが、海の中はよく見えました。船長さんも工夫しながら見やすくしてくれましたので楽しめました。

The day after the heavy rain, we were blessed with clear skies at Kabira Bay. We participated in a glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay. In the morning, it was low tide, which allowed us to see the sea floor clearly, including clownfish and blue corals. Near the open sea, we were lucky to spot a sea turtle swimming underwater. However, be careful not to look down too much, as it might make you feel unwell.

前日のザンザン振りの雨模様から一転、川平湾の当日は晴天に恵まれ
川平湾グラスボート遊覧に参加しました。
　午前中は干潮時間帯でしたが、海底までの距離も近い分、ニモ達や青サンゴ
などもクッキリ見ることができました。
　外海近くでは、水中遊泳中のウミガメさんも目撃出来、ラッキーでした。
あまり下ばかり見過ぎると、具合が悪くなる可能性もあるので、要注意です。

The food was delicious. The night view was beautiful. The live performance was great. However, the stars weren't clearly visible (laughs). The Moby Dick was amazing! The staff's efforts were evident! I want to ride again!

料理も美味しかった。夜景もきれいでした。ライブも良かった。ただ、星がきれいに見えなかった(笑笑)モビィディック号最高❗スタッフの対応も一生懸命さが、伝わったよ！また、のりたいでーす。

I used the sunset cruising service during my trip to Okinawa. The reservation was easy, and the food was really delicious. Since it was my child's birthday, I ordered a cake, and they surprised us by bringing it out. There was also live music, which made for a fun time. Thank you very much. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

沖縄旅行の際サンセットクルージングを利用させていただきました。予約も簡単でしたし、料理も凄く美味しかったです
子供の誕生日もあったのでケーキを頼みましたがサプライズ的に出してくれますし、生演奏もあって楽しい時間が過ごせました。ありがとうございます
また、機会があれば利用したいと思います

We will depart near Asahibashi. I was worried because it was raining, but the visibility in the water was good. There is also an explanation about the water's clarity before departure, which is reassuring. Small children were very happy.

旭橋近くから出航します。雨が降っていて心配でしたが海の中はよく見えました。
出航前に海の透明度の説明もあるので安心です。小さい子どもは大喜び。

Finally, the long-awaited whale watching! I participated in this tour a year ago, but unfortunately, there was no encounter with whales... After a year, I can finally meet a whale!! They boast a 99% encounter rate with whales. I boarded the boat with high expectations. The sea was a bit rough, and the boat headed towards the Kerama Islands. My heart raced with anticipation as I waited inside the swaying boat. After a while, the boat's engine stopped. Is it finally time? I went outside. Other boats were also waiting around us. Excitement was building! I scanned the sea, waiting and watching. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes... nothing appeared.... After about twenty minutes, it seemed we received a radio call, and we sped off to another point!! The boat was rocking like crazy. Is the captain Daigo...? Finally, we were freed from the intense rocking, and the boat stopped. Whale watching resumed. However, the whales still did not appear.... A significant amount of time had passed since we set sail, and there was a tense atmosphere inside the boat. When I looked around... hey! Is everyone seasick? At that moment, the staff made an announcement. "More than 80% of the guests are feeling unwell, so we will return to port." The staff worked hard to show us whales and were all very nice, but.... If I participate in whale watching every year, will I have a chance to encounter a whale in the next 200 years based on these odds?

待ちに待ったホエールウォッチング！とゆうのも１年前にもこのツアーに参加させてもらったのですが、残念ながらクジラとの遭遇は無し．．．。1年越しでクジラに会える！！なんでもクジラとの遭遇率９９％以上の謳い文句。期待して乗船。少々海の荒れる中、船は慶良間諸島方面へ。まだかまだかと心躍らせ、揺れる船内に待機。暫くして船のエンジンが停止。いよいよかと船外へ。周りの海上には他の船も待機。期待が高まります！今か今かと海を見渡します。５分、１０分、１５分…現れません....。２０分程して無線が入ったのか、別のポイントへエンジン全開！！船の揺れハンパないって。船長は大迫か....？ようやくこのハンパない揺れから解放され船は停止。ホエールウォッチング再開です。が、しかしクジラは現れず....。出港から時間もだいぶ経ち船内にも不穏な雰囲気が、と思いまわりを見渡したら．．．おい！みんな船酔いかよ！ここでスタッフからお知らせが。「８割以上の方がグロッキー様態なので帰港します」とのこと。スタッフの皆さんはお客様にクジラを見せてあげようと一生懸命だったし良い人ばかりでしたが....。私は毎年ホエールウォッチングに参加したとして、確率からこの先２００年は必ずクジラに遭遇出来ますかねぇ～。

Since it was after the typhoon, I was unsure whether to cancel, but I decided to participate since I had the chance. I was able to see some things, but it was a bit disappointing.

台風の後だったので、中止しようか迷ったのですが、せっかくなので参加しました。
多少はみれましたが、ちょっと残念でした。f
