I signed up for the tour because it promised a full refund guarantee if whales were not sighted, but the tour representative told me it was not within the refund guarantee period. In reality, I didn't see any whales and received no refund, which feels like being deceived.
クジラが見えない場合は、全額返金保証ありとあって申込みしたのにツアー担当者より返金保証期間ではないとのことでした。実際、クジラは見えず返金もなく騙され感じです。

The waves were high, and the boat rocked. The menu included unlimited salad, soup, coffee, and tea, and the children only ate the side dish, which was French fries. At the dinner show, we enjoyed nostalgic songs among other entertainment. If you add the anniversary option, they announce it during the dinner show, so I think it's a good idea to use it for anniversaries.

At first, I was anxious, wondering if I had mistakenly booked the wrong tour since I didn't know where I would be able to see the fish from the boat. However, once we arrived at the designated spot, we were guided to the bottom of the boat and were able to see the fish underwater. Although the water was murky, I was glad to see a lot of coral.
最初『船の中から魚が見られる』とは言うものの、どこから見られるのか判らず間違って観光注文してしまったのかと不安に覚えた。だけどポイントに着いてから船底への案内をしてもらい水中の中の魚達を見ることが出来た。
海中は濁っていたけど、多数のサンゴが見られて良かったと思う

The whales were amazing! I was able to see them up close for a longer time than I expected, which was really great! But this is all about luck, right...?
Also, it felt a bit sad in the second half when we ended up chasing the whales with 4 to 5 other tour boats for almost an hour. My middle school daughter felt the same way.
Aside from luck, it seemed that due to the size of the boat or the weather, there was a lot of rocking, and a few people got seasick, which looked tough. It brought down the mood for those of us watching as well.
Additionally, there were more people than expected for the size of the boat, and some pushy individuals claimed the best spots from the beginning to the end, while my family, being more reserved, could only see over the shoulders of those in front of us. I wish there had been a system for taking turns or that the staff had paid more attention to this.
クジラは最高でした!
思っていたより近くで長い時間見ることができてとてもよかったです!
でもこれは運ですよね・・・。
また、他のツアーの船と4~5隻で1時間近くクジラを追い回すような形になって、後半はクジラがかわいそうな気持ちになりました。(中学生の娘も同様の気持ちだったそうです。)
運以外の点では、船のサイズのせいか天候のせいか、揺れがひどくて船酔いでダウンした方が数名いて大変そうでしたし、見ているこちらまでテンションが下がりました。
また、船のサイズのわりに人数が多くて「我先に!」っていう図々しい人たちが、見やすい場所を最初から最後まで陣取ってしまって・・・、
遠慮し~なうちの家族は、前の人たちの肩越しにしか見られませんでした。
順番で交代とか、スタッフの方に注意してほしかったです。

I participated with a friend this time, and I was very satisfied to see whales!
First, the boat heads out to sea for about 30 minutes, and we wait for the whales to appear. Once we spot them, the boat's engine starts, and we move quickly.
During the watching session I attended, we saw whales three times!! The staff were quite friendly, and they quickly informed us of the whales' locations when they appeared.
However, one point to note is that depending on the day, the boat can be quite rocky. Many people got seasick this time. I think it's best to ensure you're in good health before participating. (They provide sick bags.)
As long as you don't get seasick, the boat goes pretty fast, making for a pleasant cruising experience with the wind.
They picked us up at our hotel in the city, so the access was excellent. They also provided transportation back to the hotel. Thank you very much!
今回友達と二人での参加、鯨を見ることができて大満足でした!
まず30分ほど沖に向かって船が走りそこで鯨が現れるのを待ちます、
姿が確認できたら船のエンジンがかかり素早く移動。
私が参加したウォッチングでは3回鯨が現れてくれました!!
スタッフの方々は、かなりフランクな感じで、鯨が現れると素早く位置を知らせて貰えます。
ただ、注意点としては日にもよるのかもしれないのですが、
船はかなり揺れます、今回は多くの方が酔ってダウンしていました。
参加する前は体調を必ず万全にして臨んだ方が良いと思います。
(エチケット袋は用意されています。)
酔いさえしなければ結構スピードを出すので風の気持ちいいクルージングです。
市内のホテルにてピックアップしていただいたのでアクセスも最高でした。
帰りも乗ったホテルまで送迎していただきました。
どうもありがとうございました。

It was titled "Sunset Cruise," but unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, so we couldn't see the sunset.

I was especially moved when the title "Okinawa" was performed.

It was soaking wet just about 20 meters from the building to the boarding area. They provided free raincoats, but they were too short, so my lower half ended up a mess... I was informed in advance that visibility wasn't great, and with little rain protection and the cold sea breeze, my spirits were pretty low.
However, when we arrived at the spot and moved to the viewing area below, I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few people there! Although there weren't as many colorful fish as I had expected, I could see relatively far into the depths, and it was moving to realize that natural fish were living in the vast sea. I've done scuba diving before, but I thought it was great to be able to peek into the ocean without getting wet and without a headache.
建物から乗り場に向かう20m程度でびっしゃびしゃでした。無料でカッパを配布して頂いたのですが長さが足りず下半身はぐちゃぐちゃに。。。視界もあまり良くないと事前に説明があり、あまり雨よけもなく海風で寒いしテンションだだ下がりでした。
スポットに着いて下の展望スペースに移ると、意外といる!!と嬉しかったです。思ったよりカラフルな魚は少なかったですが比較的奥まで見渡せ、広い海に自然の魚が生きてるんだなぁ、と感慨深かったです。スキューバもやったことがありますが、濡れずに頭痛もなく海の中が覗けるのは良いと思いました。
Dear Kero-yo,
Thank you very much for boarding the underwater sightseeing boat Orca.
The winter weather in Okinawa can be quite unpredictable, and there are days when the weather is very poor.
We regret that you were unable to enjoy the experience comfortably due to the rain and wind on that day.
However, the underwater scenery can be quite beautiful even on rainy days, as the water remains clear.

I participated in a tour departing from Naha on the morning of February 13. The weather was nice, but the sea was indeed cold. Warm clothing is a must.
At first, I only saw the spray and the tail fin breaking the surface, so I thought that was all there was to it. However, we later encountered a smaller whale that seemed to be in its adolescence. It jumped several times, which was very exciting.
The observation lasted about an hour. As we returned to port, the waves were high and the boat was rocking. I took motion sickness medication beforehand, but I still felt nauseous. There were people lying down inside the boat, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious about their condition.
But seeing the whale up close was absolutely amazing.
2/13午前那覇発のツアーに参加しました。
天気は良かったのですが、さすがに海は寒かったです。防寒対策は必須ですね。
最初潮の吹き上げや尾びれを海面上に持ち上げる仕草しか見られなかっただけので、こんなものかと思っていたのですが、その後ちょうど思春期位だろうという小さめのクジラに遭遇。
何度もジャンプしてくれて大盛り上がりでした。
観察は約1時間で終了。
帰港となったのですが、やっぱり波は高いし揺れて、酔い止めを飲んで行ったのですが気持ち悪くなってしまいました。
船内ですっかり横になっている人もいたので、船酔いする人は体調に注意です。

I understood that the winter sea has strong waves, so I took motion sickness medication and prepared for the cold before participating. I was worried about getting seasick from the rocking, but I didn't feel sick; however, I was quite exhausted from the strength of the waves and wind. It took a while to get from Naha port to the whale watching area. We spotted a whale's spout from a distance and patiently circled the area slowly, but we couldn't see it up close, and we had to return to port. It took time to reach the point, and I got tired from the waves and wind during that time, which left me feeling extremely sleepy after disembarking. Next time, I would like to go to an island that is closer to the whale watching area and then board the whale watching boat from there.
冬の海は波がきついことを了解して、酔い止めも飲んで、防寒も対策して参加しました。
波の揺れに心配していた酔いはしませんでしたが、波と風の強さにかなり疲れました。那覇の港からホエールウォッチングの海域まで時間がかかりました。遠目にクジラの潮吹きを発見し、かなり粘ってその付近をゆっくり旋回してくれました。が、間近には見ることはできず、帰港となりました。ポイントまで行くのに時間がかかるので、その間の波風に疲れ、下船後モーレツな眠気に襲われました。クジラのいる海域まで近いように島まで一旦いって、ホエールウォッチングの船に乗る形を次回はとりたいです。

I participated with my daughter on a weekday at the beginning of February. Perhaps due to the timing, I almost thought I had mistakenly signed up for a tour with foreigners (Chinese), as everyone around us was Chinese, with a few Koreans, and we were the only Japanese participants. Since we were the only Japanese, they kindly guided us to our seats and the staff was very friendly. The boat for whale watching was extremely rocky. Both my daughter and I are fine on boats, so we were okay, but most people were holding bags and looking exhausted, wondering why they came at all. The waves were that high and it was quite bumpy. When we headed out to sea to look for whales, we could go outside, but after a little running, we got soaked from the high waves, so I recommend bringing something like a raincoat. They also sell them before boarding.
It was wet and quite cold. As for the whales, during this time, we only saw a blow (the spout) and a glimpse of part of the body. I wish we could have seen more of the whole body.
In any case, I think it would be difficult for those who are weak on boats. I wish we could have seen the whales a bit better.
2月始めの平日に娘と参加しました。時期的になのか、一瞬外国人(中国人)のツアーに間違えて申し込んでしまったのかと思ってしまう程周りは全て中国人と一部韓国人、日本人参加者は私達という状況でした。日本人が私達だけということで先に席を案内してくれたりスタッフの方は親切にして下さいました。ホエールの方は、船がめちゃくちゃ揺れます。私も娘も船に強いので全然平気でしたが、何しに来たのか?というくらいずっと袋を持ってグッタリしている人が殆どでした。それくらい波が高く揺れます。そしてホ沖に出てホエールを探す時になると外に出て良いのですが、少し走ったりすると波が高くずぶ濡れになるのでレインコートの様なものを持って行くのをお勧めします。乗る前に販売もあります。
そして濡れるし結構寒いです。肝心のホエールは、この時はブローという潮吹きを目印にブローと体の一部がチラッと見えた程度でした。出来ればもっと身体全体が見たかったです。
とにかく船に弱い人に無理だと思います。
ホエールはもうちょっと見えたらよかったな。

It was a whale watching experience. I was a bit nervous since I brought my 2-year-old child along, but we were able to encounter whales safely! Since it was a New Year's trip to Okinawa in January, this whale watching experience, which can only be done at this time of year, was something our whole family had been looking forward to, so seeing the whales was truly moving.
However, the cruise while searching for the whales felt long. We waited for about an hour and a half, listening to the engine noise, wondering when we would see them. When we finally spotted a whale's tail in the distance, cheers erupted from the boat, and as everyone started to buzz with excitement, the whale jumped, and we could hear the sound. I wish it had been closer, but I guess that's just luck.
If I have the chance again, I would love to participate once more.

しかし、クジラを探す間のクルーズは長く感じました。1時間半ほどずっとエンジン音が聞こえる中まだかまだか、まだかと待ちました。遠くにクジラの尾ひれが見えて、船から歓声が聞こえだし皆んながざわざわ騒ぎだすと期待に応えるようにクジラがジャンプして音が聞こえました。もっと近かったら良かったけどこればかりは運でしょうか。

We went whale watching off the coast of the Kerama Islands. I think the one hour of slow cruising to search for whales has a high possibility of causing seasickness. I felt that taking motion sickness medication is essential. Since we are dealing with nature, it's hard to predict the necessary time. We departed at 9 AM and returned at 1 PM, but it took longer than expected, so we had to reduce the number of sightseeing spots.

Due to the location of our stay, we participated in the tour departing from Chatan. The location is near "American Village," making it efficient for sightseeing after the tour.
Since it was the peak season for whale watching, the relatively large boat was fully booked. Most of the passengers were Asian tourists. Those who sat in the open (uncovered) seats enjoyed the fresh air but ended up soaked from the splashes by the time we returned, so I recommend choosing seats towards the back when boarding.
It can be quite rocky, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking medication is essential.
After arriving at the spot, we chased after the whales, moving around quietly. During that time, we were able to spot whales several times. I would love for you to experience it in detail, but it’s quite a rare experience, especially recommended for those with children!
滞在場所の都合上、北谷発に参加。場所は「アメリカンビレッジ」のそばですのでツアー後の観光にも効率が良いです。
ホエールウォッチングの繁盛期ということもあり、割りと大きめの船も満席状態。大半はアジア系の観光客。開放感で外側(囲いのない)の席に座った人は帰る頃には波しぶきでビショビショになってましたので、乗船時は奥の席をおすすめします。
結構ゆれますので、酔いに心配な方は薬は必須。
スポット到着後はクジラを追いかけ地味に移動を繰り返します。その間何度かクジラを発見することが出来ます。詳しくは体験して頂きたいですが、なかなか貴重な体験ですので、お子さんのいる方には特におすすめします!

In Nagoya, it snowed the day before yesterday, while Okinawa's weather is unpredictable, with the forecast for the day being cloudy. It seems to be a hot 22 degrees, which is incomparable to Nagoya. When we departed at 9 AM, there were glimpses of sunshine, and I felt grateful for my usual good behavior and praised myself. After about 30 minutes on the cruise ship, we arrived at the point, and my wife excitedly told me, "Look! A whale!" I turned my gaze and felt excited too! The captain informed us that there was a whale where it had spouted water, so we eagerly scanned the surface of the sea. Then we saw another whale, and the excitement was overwhelming! The captain dashed towards it! We were surprisingly close to it. It takes patience, but the satisfaction of spotting one is incredible. It was a very satisfying cruise. Since we were on the ship for nearly two hours, those who are not confident should take motion sickness medication. It was fun!! I will participate again. I will keep this excitement until then. Thank you!

暑い22度らしく名古屋と比べものにならない。1便9時出航時は晴れ間も覗き日頃のおこないに感謝と自分をほめる。クルーズ船で30分ほどでポイント?に到着、隣の妻があ!クジラと興奮気味に教えてくれ視線をやると自分までも興奮!!潮を吹いたとこにクジラが居ますと船長の教えで海面をきょろきょろ注目、するとまたクジラ、興奮!!船長が猛ダッシュ!!意外に近くで観れました。根気がいりますが発見した時の満足感はたまりません。大満足なクルーズでした。2時間ちかく船に乗っているので自信のない人は船酔い止めの薬飲んでたほうがいいよ。
楽しかった!!また参加しますね。興奮をそれまで維持します、ありがとうございました。

I gifted this whale watching tour to my sister and her husband for their 25th wedding anniversary. My husband and I also participated, so there were four of us. The whale watching was the highlight of this trip, but while there were a couple of whale spouts, I couldn't see them clearly. The journey there took quite a while, and the waves made the boat rocky, but we managed to endure it because we were excited about seeing whales. However, on the way back, the speed of the boat and the rocking were overwhelming! There was a storm of vomiting from all sides! It was tough. We didn't get seasick, but the experience didn't turn out to be a great memory as we had hoped. It's a shame. The weather was cloudy, but at least it didn't rain, so that was good. Since we are dealing with nature, it's understandable, but I really wanted everyone who participated to see the dynamic sight of the whales! I feel regretful. If there's another opportunity, I would love to go with everyone again! Thank you for the monitor tour! Great job, staff!
今回結婚25周年記念の妹夫婦にこのホエールウォッチングツアーをプレゼントしました。私達夫婦も参加し4人でいきました。今回の旅の一番の楽しみであったホエールウオッチングでしたが、鯨の潮吹きが2.3回あったようですが、よくわかりませんでした。行きも結構時間がかかり波もあったので揺れましたが、鯨に会える期待が大きかったので我慢出来ましたが、帰りの船のスピードと揺れにはまいりました!前から後ろから横から次々と嘔吐の嵐!しんどかったです。私達は船酔いはしませんでしたが、せっかくの楽しみがなんかあまりいい思い出にはなりませんでした。残念でした。天気は曇りで雨が降らなかっただけでも良かったです。自然が相手ですから仕方ないですが、ダイナミックな鯨の姿今回参加した皆んなに見せてあげたかった!心残りです。また機会があればみんなで行きたいなあ!と思います!モニターツアーまたよろしくお願いします!スタッフさんお疲れ様でした!

I participated in this trip because I wanted to show my husband the dynamic appearance of whales. I understand that it's about facing nature, but it was very disappointing that we only saw the spout a couple of times and the tail in the distance! To make matters worse, we were running late on the way back, and the boat was going too fast. We were splashed by the waves, and because of the roughness, many people were getting seasick and vomiting. It was unbearable to see the mess in front of us on the boat. I understand the staff's intention to help us see the whales, but I wonder if it would have been better to leave with the disappointment of not seeing them rather than the feeling of nausea. All I have left are the scenes from the boat! I really wanted to see the big whale! I hope to have another chance to try again next time.
今回主人に鯨のダイナミックな姿を見せてあげたいと思い参加しました。自然との向き合いなので仕方ないなと思いますが、噴気だけ2.3回尾が遠くにすこし見えただけでとても残念でした!おまけに帰り時間が押していて船のスピードが激しすぎました。波にあたって水しぶきはあるわ、揺れが激しかった為あちらこちらから、酔われて吐かれてました。汚物が前の方にかかったりして見るのも耐え難い船上でした。なんとか見させてあげようというスタッフさんの気持ちはわかりますが、吐いて辛かったという気持ちが残ってしまうよりは、見えなかった残念の気持ちが残った方が良かったのかな?と私は思いました。船上での光景しかのこりませんでした!大きなクジラの体が見たかったです!今度また機会があったらリベンジしたいなあと思っています。

I participated in the 9 AM departure.
To start with the results of the whale watching, I was able to see a mother and baby whale swimming together! Although I only saw their backs, it was heartwarming to witness them swimming close to each other, and I was even able to see them spouting water occasionally.
As for the process leading up to the encounter, first, we took a free shuttle to the meeting point, which was a really large bus typically used for tours (this may vary depending on the number of participants). Since it can't enter narrow roads, I recommend that those considering the free shuttle book a hotel close to the main roads.
During the ride, we were given a paper with participation guidelines, which we read and signed.
After picking up participants from their hotels, we arrived at Mie Castle Port. When I got off the bus, I noticed that there were mostly foreigners, particularly many from China.
At the waiting area, we submitted the signed guidelines from the bus, and at this time, I received a ticket, a postcard, and a whale book (one per group). The waiting area has restrooms and a smoking area. Although both are available on the boat, it seems better to take care of that beforehand.
It seems that the color of the ticket we received during participant confirmation determines which boat we would board; mine was green, corresponding to the boat in the photo. The boat had a maximum capacity of 70, but I think there were about 30 to 40 people on board. We were given life jackets upon boarding, which were easy to wear as they were the type you put on and tie. However, the life jackets had significant insulation, and it got hot, so I took off my down jacket and put the life jacket back on. I wasn't particularly cold throughout the trip. There were pink plastic bags hanging everywhere on the first floor of the boat, ready for anyone who might get seasick.
It was said that it was dangerous to go up to the second floor until we were a certain distance offshore, so I sat on the first floor by the side of the boat, and we finally set sail.
About 10 minutes after leaving the port, the second floor was opened up. When I went up, they handed me a raincoat, but the waves were so rough and windy that I was worried about being blown away… At that moment, a staff member guided me to a lower seat, saying, "This area is less bumpy." While it was indeed less bumpy, the rough waves and wind remained, so I gave up on wearing the raincoat halfway through.
After that, we were tossed around for about 30 minutes like a thrilling amusement ride. I was laughing the whole time due to the sheer fun of it. It really rocked a lot, so as recommended, if you don't wear non-slip sneakers, you might end up taking an unintended dive…
For those who are prone to motion sickness or have never been on a small boat, it's advisable not to go up to the second floor and to take motion sickness medication as recommended for peace of mind.
Then, as the boat slowed down… the main attraction made its appearance! As I mentioned at the beginning, it was very easy to spot the whales because the captain directed the boat toward the direction the whales were heading.
While watching, the situation was indeed bumpy due to the high waves. If you try to watch from the second floor, there is a steering seat in front, and behind it, there is a rope to hold onto. Depending on the waves and the situation of the people behind, the rope can dig into your stomach, and my friend who was with me started to feel unwell.
After about 30 minutes of watching the whales, the boat made a U-turn, and I wondered what was happening, only to find out we were heading back to the port (laughs). The return trip was also somewhat bumpy, but it felt less so than the outbound trip.
We returned to the port in about two hours. Since I had a flight scheduled afterward, I didn't use the shuttle. I picked up my luggage from the bus, called a taxi at the waiting area with a sign, and head
午前9時発便に参加させて頂きました。
クジラの結果から書きますと親子クジラが仲良く泳ぐ姿に出会えました‼︎
見られたのは背中だけでしたが、
母クジラと子クジラが寄り添って泳いでいるのがわかり、とても微笑ましい光景で、時折潮吹きも見ることができました。
出会うまでの過程は、
まず、無料送迎で集合場所へ、ツアーなどで使われるような本当に大型のバスでした。(これは参加人数などで変わるのかもしれません。)
細い道には入れない為、
無料送迎を考えている方は
主要道路に近いホテルを取る事をオススメします。
道中、バスの中で、参加の注意事項が記載された紙を渡され、それを一読し、サイン欄に名前を記入します。
送迎希望参加者のホテルを周り三重城港へ、
バスを降りてみると外人さんばかりでした。
特に中国の方が多かったです。
待合所にてバス内でサインをした注意事項を提出、
この時チケットとポストカードとクジラブック(こちらは1グループに1冊)を貰いました。
待合所にはトイレ、喫煙所もあります。
船内にも両方あるものの、こちらで済ませておいた方が良さそうです。
参加者確認の際にもらったチケットの色で
乗る船が分かれるようで、私は緑色で写真の船でした。
船に最大乗船人数が70と書いてありましたが、載っていたの大体30〜40人くらいだったと思います。
乗船時ライフジャケットの配布があり、
羽織って紐で結ぶタイプのものだったので、着用は簡単でした。
ところが、ライフジャケットにかなりの保温効果があり、暑かったのでダウンジャケットを着ていたのですが脱いで、再ライフジャケット装着しました。
最後まで特に寒くは無かったです。
船内1階の至る所にピンク色のビニール袋が下げてあり、
酔ってしまった方にすぐ対応出来るようになってました。
ある程度沖に出ないと2階に上がるのは危ないそうで
船内脇の段差に1階に座り、いよいよ出航です。
港を出て10分程で2階が解放され、2階に上がる時にカッパを手渡してくれたのですが、
上がった先は荒波暴風で中々着られないどころか、
飛ばされないか不安でした…
その時スタッフの方が「こちらの方が揺れがマシですよ。」と低めの座席に誘導してくれましたが、
確かに揺れはマシなものの荒波暴風は変わらない為、
中途半端に着て諦めました。
その後、30分程上下左右に揺さぶられ系絶叫アトラクションです。
あまりの楽しさにずっと爆笑していました。
本当にかなり揺れるので推奨されている通り
滑りにくいスニーカーで行かないと
不本意なダイビングをする事になりそうです…
乗り物酔いしやすい方はもちろん、小型の船に乗った事がない方は2階には上がらず、こちらも推奨されている通り酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安心です。
そして、船のスピードが緩まり…
主役のご登場です‼︎
見られた感想としては冒頭の記載通り、
船長がクジラの向かって行く方向に船を向けてくれるのでとても見つけやすかったです。
見ている時の状況は、やはり波が高いので揺れます。
2階で見ようとすると、前の方に操舵席があり、その後ろにロープが張ってあるので、それに捕まって見ることになるのですが、揺れや後ろの人の状況によってお腹にロープがめり込んで同乗していた友達は具合が悪くなっていました。
大体30分程クジラを眺め、ふと船がUターンして、何かな?と思ったら帰港でした(笑)
帰りもそれなりに揺れましたが行きより揺れがましな気がしました。
大体2時間ほどで港に戻り、
その後飛行機に乗る予定だったので、送迎は使わず
バスに預けていた荷物を引取り、
待合所に看板のあるタクシーを呼んで
那覇空港に向かいました。
そこそこ濡れてしまうので、髪がパキパキになります。
ツアー参加後はシャワーを浴びる時間を作った方が良さそうです。
今回見られたのは、悠々泳ぐ姿のみなので
派手さはありませんでしたが、これからのシーズンオスのクジラに会えたりするとまた違うのかもしれません。
私は船が楽しかったので、クジラに会えるかは期待し過ぎず、アトラクション目的でまた参加させて頂きたいと思います。

I used this service again, just like last time. This time, we were on a slightly larger boat, and the second floor had an open space, which felt really nice with the breeze!
Before heading out to sea, we received explanations about whale watching, which led to many discoveries!
Since I was able to see whales during the same period last time, I think there's a pretty good chance of spotting them again (^^).
When the boat is moving fast, it's fine, but when searching for whales, it might be tough for those who are prone to seasickness... You can buy motion sickness medication (in drink form) at the reception, so it might be a good idea to take some!
This time, I felt like we were able to see whales quite frequentlyヽ(*´∀`)ノ
Thank you to all the staff!
前回に続き、こちらを利用させて頂きました。
前回よりも少し大きめの船で
2階は吹き抜け(?)になっていて
風がとても気持ち良かったです!!
沖に出るまでに、ホエールウォッチングの
説明をしてもらえるので色んな発見になりました!
前回も同じ時期に行って見れたので
かなりの確率でクジラを見れると思います(^^)
船のスピードが出ている時はいいのですが
クジラ探しをしている時は
船酔いしやすい方は辛いかもしれません。。。
受付をする場所で酔い止め(ドリンクタイプ)を
購入出来るので飲んでおくといいかもしれないです!
今回は頻繁にクジラを見ることが
出来たように感じますヽ(*´∀`)ノ
スタッフのみなさん、ありがとうございました!

I've loved whales since I was young, and I wanted to see one up close at least once in my life, so I participated in this tour. Since they are wild animals, I listened to the guide's explanation that encountering them depends on luck, which made me nervous, but fortunately, we encountered a mother and her calf. I've seen footage on TV, but seeing them in person was incredibly moving. The kids were also thrilled! If you're not good on boats, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.
昔からクジラが好きで、一生のうちで一回は間近でクジラを見てみたくて参加しました。自然の生き物なので、時期的に遭遇出来るかは運だとガイドさんの説明を聞いて、ドキドキしましたが、幸運にも親子のクジラに遭遇できました。テレビなどで映像は見たことがありましたが、やはり実物は最高に感動しました。子供たちも大喜びしてました~。船が苦手な方は事前に酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいたほうがいいかもです。

I participated in a tour on December 26. The weather was supposed to be good and I was told I wouldn't get wet, but while sitting outside on the boat, I ended up completely soaked. Unfortunately, we spent three hours on the boat without seeing anything and had to return. I was continuously vomiting due to seasickness. I understand it's nature, but it turned into a very sad memory for me.
12月26日にツアーに参加しました。天候も良く濡れることは無いとのことでしたが、船の外に座っていたところびしょ濡れになりました。我々は運が悪く3時間船に乗ったまま何も見えずに戻ってきました。わたしは船酔いでずっと吐き続けていました。自然相手のことなのでしょうがないのですが、とても悲しい思い出となりました、(;´д`)トホホ。。

It was a day that seemed normal, but there was no shaking, and the visibility underwater was not bad. The viewing spot stayed longer than I expected, so I was able to enjoy it slowly.
The comfort on the boat was also good. I was happy to hear explanations about the scenery visible from the deck.
After that, I had lunch at the Pacific Hotel, which offered a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, and there were plenty of drink options as well, so I was very satisfied.
I would like to use this again when I go to Okinawa.
当日は普通に見えるとうレベルの日でしたが、揺れもなく、海中の視界も悪くなかったです。鑑賞スポットで思ったより長く停滞してくれていたので、ゆっくり楽しめました。
船の居心地もいいです。デッキから見れる景色の説明も聞けるので嬉しかったです。
その後、パシフィックホテルのランチを頂きましたが、これが和洋折衷種類も多く、ドリンクの種類も豊富で、大満足でした。
また、沖縄に行ったら利用したいです。
