All Reviews for Cruises

The weather was very calm, and although the boat swayed due to the waves from the large ships, I think there were few people who got seasick. We were able to see whales for about an hour, every 7 to 10 minutes. There weren't any big jumps. During the whale watching, you can view from the second floor and around the first floor seats. There were no specific seating assignments. I was satisfied to participate in the tour at a lower price than other boats!

とても穏やかな天気で、大型船の波で船が揺れることはありましたが、船酔い人も少なかったのでは？と思います。7分〜10分おきに1時間程度クジラを見ることができました。大ジャンプはなかったです。ホエールウォッチング時は2階部分と1階の座席のまわりで見ることができます。特に場所指定はなかったです。他の船よりお安くツアーに参加でき、満足です！

The weather was great, and the clarity of the sea was excellent. The guide, a young man on the boat, was fun and fantastic. We were able to see sea turtles and rays. They also provided solid support for my mother, who has difficulty walking, when getting on and off the boat.

天気にも恵まれて海の透明度も最高でした。船頭のお兄さんのガイドも楽しくて最高でした。ウミガメやエイも見られました。
足の悪い母親の船の乗り降りもしっかりサポートして頂けました。

It was mid-March, but the weather was cloudy and cold. The boat swayed even on the way to the whale watching spot, but it was especially rough after we arrived and turned off the engine. Motion sickness medication was a must.

This was my second time whale watching, but I saw a breach for the first time. It was a bit far away, but it was a wonderful experience.

3月中旬でしたが天気は曇りで寒かったです。
クジラ観察スポットまでも揺れますが、着いてエンジンを止めてからが揺れて辛いです。酔い止めは必須でした。

ホエールウォッチングは2回目ですが、初めてブリーチを見られました。ちょっと距離はありましたが素晴らしい体験です。

It took some time to find the whales at first, but after that, we spotted them multiple times, and the crew brought the boat closer, which made it quite enjoyable. While other boats were heading back, our boat kept saying, "One more time! One more time!" and made another attempt. I would love to participate again when I go to Okinawa.

はじめに鯨を見つけるまで時間がかかりましたが、そのあとは何回も見つけては、船を近づけてくれ、おかげでかなり楽しめました。
他の船が帰って行く中、私らの船はあと一回！あと一回！と思ってくれたのか、トライしてくれました。
また、沖縄に行ったら、参加したいです。

I have been to Okinawa Island more than ten times, but I had never participated in a whale tour. This time, I joined to celebrate a special year for the two of us. I was glad to see the whales, but there were too many participants. I think a reasonable number would be around 15 to 20 people, but with over 30, it was difficult to see the whales from the boat at the desired spots. In fact, there were quite a few people who couldn't see anything due to the poor viewing locations. Additionally, I felt that for safety reasons, the number of participants should be limited.

沖縄本島には、10回以上来ていますが、クジラツアーには参加していませんでした。
2人の記念の年に、今回は参加しました。
クジラは見れて良かったのですが、参加者が多すぎます。15人から20人くらいまでが妥当だと思いますが、30人以上では、見たい場所で船からクジラを見ることができません。現に場所が悪く見れない方も結構いました。また、安全上を考えても人数を絞るべきだと感じました。

The small boat tour of the whirlpools in Naruto and the drift ice was totally fine, but I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life 🤮.

After arriving on the island, we had a short 10-minute drive to the beach, and then immediately had curry (this was the problem!). About 20 minutes after eating, we went scuba diving. Since the schedule was tight (we were rushed), we finished and had no time for a shower or even to use the restroom before heading back to the port for whale watching, circling on the water for 30 minutes.

Of course, I got seasick.

The inside of the boat was like a triage center. I think about half of the people were completely seasick, probably thinking, "I just want to get back to Naha Port quickly."

It would have been nice if they had allowed us to choose lighter snacks that are easier to digest.

小型船で鳴門の渦や流氷ツアーも全然オーケーだったが人生で初めて船酔いで🤮した。
と言うのも、、
島到着後車で10分程度の移動でビーチ
すぐカレー（これが問題！）
食後20分後にスキューバ
スケジュールが押してるため（急かされて）終わってシャワーはおろかトイレも行く暇なくバスで港まで戻ってすぐホエールウッチングの為、洋上を30分グルグル
そりゃ船酔いするよ

船内は野戦病院状態
恐らく半分くらいの人は完全な船酔いで『もう良いから早く那覇港戻って』っ思ったはず

消化のいい軽食を選択出来るようにしてくれると有り難かったかな？

I went on my first whale watching tour last February. This time, I used this tour company for my second trip on March 4th. The staff worked hard to find the whales, so I was able to see them well both times. I want to go again next year. The transportation to Kokusai Street, the boat, and the staff were all very kind. I signed up for an option that included a set of three anti-seasickness items, and the mysterious "anti-seasickness glasses" might have actually worked.

去年の2月に初。今回3/4に2回目のクジラウォッチングでこちらのツアー会社にお世話になりました。
スタッフが一生懸命に、クジラを探してくれるので、2回ともよく見えました。
来年も行きたいです。
国際通りまでの送迎も、船内も、スタッフさんがとても親切です。
オプションで、酔い止め3点セットというのがあり申込みましたが、不思議な『酔い防止メガネ』が効果あったかもしれないです。

I experienced it on February 10.
I was worried about seasickness, but I was okay, perhaps because I took motion sickness medication.
I was able to see whales, and I could see them quite closely. I saw them several times swimming side by side, with their tails raised.
It seems we found the whales quickly.
Whale watching was fun.

2月10日に体験しました。
船酔いを心配していましたが、酔い止めを服用していたからか大丈夫でした。
クジラにも会えたし、わりと近くで見られました。しっぽを振り上げ、親子で並んで泳ぐ姿が何度も見れました。
クジラが見つかるのが、早かったようです。
クジラ探し楽しかった。

It's extremely difficult to capture whales with a smartphone or camera, so it's best to give up quickly and leave the photography to the staff. They will upload the photos for you. I'm impressed by the remarkable shots they managed to take, such as the small whale jumping and the photo of the mother whale's tail.

スマホやカメラでクジラを撮影するのは至難の業なので、さっさと諦め撮影はスタッフに任せるのが正解です。写真はアップしてもらえます。このタイミングの写真がよく撮れたなと感心する小クジラのジャンプの写真や親クジラの尾の写真など印象的なシーンの写真がアップされていて驚きです。

I had heard beforehand that we might see a jump once for every ten attempts, so I gave up and was busy filming the baby whale's tail slap when suddenly it jumped out from the back, causing everyone to go wild (laughs).

It miraculously jumped right when I had my phone ready, and I was able to capture its jumping姿.

I could feel the staff's desire to entertain us. Thank you very much. I hope to come back next year if I can.

事前にジャンプは10回きたら1回見られるかなとお話しされてたので、諦めて子クジラのテールスラップを撮影してたら奥からドーンと飛び出してきてみんなで大騒ぎになりました（笑）

携帯構えてるところでジャンプしてくれて奇跡的にジャンプ姿をおさめる事ができました。

スタッフさんも楽しませてあげようという想いが伝わってきました。ありがとうございました。また来年、行けたらいいな。

This time, I challenged myself to diving for the first time in 35 years as a celebration of my 60th birthday. The weather wasn't great, and the boat was rocking, which made me quite anxious, but thanks to the staff's quick guidance and instructions, I was able to dive safely. Amid the excitement and nervousness, I truly enjoyed swimming in the beautiful ocean after such a long time. I had a wonderful experience touching the clownfish playing among the sea anemones. Thank you very much.

今回還暦の記念に35年ぶりのダイビングを挑戦しました。天候もあまり良くなく、船も揺れて、いろんな不安もありましたが、スタッフの方々のテキパキとした誘導や指示より安全に行うことができました。ドキドキワクワクの中、ほんとに久しぶりに海の中の素敵な遊泳を楽しむことができました。
イソギンチャクの中で遊んでいるクマノミに触れたりと素敵な経験ができました。ありがとうございました。

The sea was rough, and the conditions were just on the edge of cancellation, so the boat rocked quite a bit, but I was very satisfied to see the whales. When the whales appeared, the staff kindly guided us, saying, "This is the best spot to see them!" Thank you very much.

海が荒れて翌日は欠航になるという位のギリギリのコンディションで船は大分揺れましたが、クジラを見ることができて大満足です。
クジラが現れた際にはスタッフさんが「こちらが見やすいですよ！」と丁寧に案内してくれました。
本当にありがとうございました。

I participated in a whale watching tour departing from Chatan, Okinawa, by myself. Initially, I had some anxiety, but the check-in and guidance were very smooth, and the staff were very kind, allowing me to create wonderful memories.

沖縄北谷から出ている
ホエールウォッチングに1人で参加させて頂きました。当初不安もありましたが、受付から案内迄とてもスムーズで有り、スタッフの方がとても親切で、良い思い出とする事ができました

I think it depends on the weather, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and the boarding time was long. If you went outside, you would get soaked from the strong winds and waves, making it quite hard. We saw whales several times, but even so, I felt like I wouldn't need to go again for the second time. Some people felt sick and were sleeping the whole time.

天候にもよると思いますが、かなり船が揺れ、また乗船時間も長く、外に出れば強風と波でびしょ濡れになり、なかなかハードでした。鯨は何度も見れましたが、それでも二回目は行かなくて良いなと思ってしまいました。何人かの方は、気分が悪くなりずっと寝ていました。

The guide was very attentive, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling while taking breaks and checking on everyone's condition, which made me feel at ease! It was a great memory to see a sea turtle as well. 🥹

I also appreciated how the guide shared a lot of recommendations for shops and information about Ishigaki Island on the way to the sea!

I would love to use this service again when I visit Ishigaki Island! (＾_＾)✨

ガイドさんが丁寧に案内してくださり、要所要所で休憩や体調確認も挟みながらシュノーケルができたので安心して楽しめました！ウミガメも見れていい思い出になりました🥹

海に向かう途中におすすめのお店や石垣島の情報をたくさん喋ってくれるのもありがたかったです！

また石垣島に遊びに行った際は利用させていただきたいです（＾_＾）✨

I was a bit anxious before the whale watching experience, but once on board, the staff were very accommodating, and I had a great time. The whales seemed to be a bit stressed too (laughs), and they made quite an impression that even surprised the staff. The staff provided clear explanations on-site. It took some time to see the next whale after the first two, but once the captain changed the location, we quickly spotted a whale. Amazing job, captain. I will definitely participate again when I come back to Naha. Thank you, staff and captain.

ホエールウォッチング体験するまでは少しだけ不安でしたけど乗船するとスタッフさんの対応も大変良く◎楽しく過ごせました。クジラさんもストレス溜まってたみたいで（笑）スタッフさんまで驚くぐらいのアピールこの辺りはスタッフさんが現地で分かりやすく説明してくれます。2回見てから次見るまで時間かかったけど船長さんポイント変えたら速攻クジラさん出ました。凄いわ船長さん。また那覇に来た時は参加させて頂きます。スタッフさん。船長さん。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my 3-year-old daughter. Watching the fish underwater was great, but I think the cruising to the point was also one of the attractions for her. ✨

3歳の娘をつれて参加。
海中のお魚をみるのはもちろん、ポイントにつくまでのクルージングも子供にとっては魅力の一つだったんじゃないかなと思いました✨

On the way to Tokashiki Island, we saw a whale. After arriving in Tokashiki Village, we quickly took a microbus to the beach. For lunch, we had curry, which was self-service, and the vegetable curry was delicious. The glass boat to the uninhabited island allowed us to see coral reefs and fish, and we had some free time on the uninhabited island to collect seashells and take photos—it went by in no time. On the way back, we also saw a whale during whale watching. It would have been nice to see a bit more of the tail, but since we saw one on the way there, I was very satisfied.

いきなり渡嘉敷島に向かう途中でクジラが見れました。そのあと渡嘉敷村に着くとすぐにマイクロバスでビーチの方へその後お昼をカレーは自分でセルフサービスで、野菜カレーおいしくいただきました。無人島へのグラスボートは珊瑚礁や魚も、無人島でしばし自由時間こちらも貝殻を拾ったり、写真を撮ったりあっという間
その後帰りのホエールウォッチングでも、クジラは見えました
もう少し尾が見れたらよかったですが、行きにみれたので、大満足です

Snorkeling in the crystal-clear sea was amazing. The staff were very kind and accommodating, and overall, I am extremely satisfied!

透き通った海でのシュノーケリングは最高でした。
スタッフさんとても優しく対応してくださり、総じて大満足です！

I saw whales and their tails, and the whales even flipped over. It was great! Plus, the weather that day was very nice, with no rain and not much wind at sea. The captain's skills were impressive.

看到了鲸鱼和鲸鱼尾巴，鲸鱼还会翻身。很棒！而且当天天气非常好，没有下雨也没有太大的海风，这船长水平不错。

It's definitely worth a visit. Be sure to take motion sickness medication. I had a guy help me book it, and the experience was fantastic. Whales were spotted, and this place is truly like the ancient paradise of Penglai.

非常值得去看，一定要吃晕船药，我是让小哥帮我定的，形式非常好，鲸鱼出没，这里其实就是古代的蓬莱仙境。

The weather was cloudy and not great, but I wanted to see sea turtles, so I was glad I got to see them. I would like to go again if I have the chance. ^ ^

天気は曇りでイマイチでしたが
海亀が見たくて乗ったので見れて良かったです。又機会があれば乗りたい^ ^

On Tokashiki Island, I went to the observation deck and enjoyed the wonderful views of the surrounding Kerama Islands. On the way back, we went whale watching; although it was a bit far, we were able to see the whales jumping.

渡嘉敷島では、展望台まで行き周りの慶良間諸島など素晴らしい景色を堪能しました
帰りはフォエールウォッチング、少し遠目でしたがクジラのジャンプも見れました

I was looking forward to the boat ride, but the waves were high, and my entire family got seasick.

The staff were very polite and took care of us kindly, but it was very disappointing that we didn't see a single whale.

I think it also depends on one's physical condition and constitution, but even if you usually don't get motion sickness, a boat can be different, and there's a possibility that you might get seasick and miss the chance to see whales. I think it's best for participants to keep this in mind.

楽しみに船に乗りましたが、波が高く、家族全員で船酔いしました。

スタッフの方の対応はとても丁寧で、優しく介抱していただきましたが、鯨が一目も見られず、とても残念でした。

体調や体質もあると思いますが、普段乗り物酔いをしなくても船は別もので、船酔いしてしまい、鯨を見るどころじゃなくなる可能性があることを念頭に参加された方がいいと思います。

My first experience with the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay.
We were on the boat for quite a long time, but I think it's not easy to get seasick!
I was amazed by the various corals we could see.
We were also able to spot several sea turtles.
Kabira Bay is beautiful and soothing even just from the observation deck, but if it's your first time at Kabira Bay, I highly recommend the glass-bottom boat.

はじめての川平湾グラスボート体験。
結構長い時間乗船していましたが、酔いにくいと思います！
様々な珊瑚が見られスゴイと思いました。
また、海ガメも何匹か見ることができました。
川平湾は、展望台だけの観光でも充分キレイで癒されるのですが、はじめての川平湾ならばグラスボートオススメです。

Thanks to the captain's skill, we were able to see the whales from a great spot. The staff also shared various stories, which increased our knowledge about whales.

船長さんの腕でいい位置でクジラさんが見れました。
スタッフの皆さんも色んなお話をしていただいてくじらうんちくが増えました。

I arrived earlier than my reserved time, but since there was availability, I was able to board an earlier boat. It was quite crowded and nearly full, but the captain's explanations were clear and precise, the scenery was beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which made me very satisfied. Also, the fact that parking is free is a big plus if you're renting a car.

予約した時間より早く到着しましたが、空きがあったので早い船に乗せてもらえました。結構混んでいてほぼ満員でしたが、船頭さんの説明がわかりやすく的確で、景色も綺麗、魚もたくさんみれて大満足でした。
また駐車場も無料な点はレンタカーする場合には見逃せません。

We visited as a family. The middle school students also enjoyed it and were satisfied. We were able to take beautiful photos. We also had a feeding experience, but the fish didn't come close very much. Since it was winter, there might be more fish during warmer seasons. Thank you very much.

家族で伺いました。
中学生も楽しめて満足しました。
綺麗な写真も撮れました。
餌やり体験もしましたが、魚はあまり寄ってこなかったです。
冬だったので、暖かい時期だと魚も多いのかもしれません。
ありがとうございました。

I saw beautiful and cute fish. I was excited to see what kind of fish and coral would appear next.

きれいでかわいいお魚さん見られました。
次はどんなお魚やサンゴが出てくるかワクワクしながら乗っていました。

Due to the weather conditions, there was a cancellation the day before, and since the waves were a bit high, we were advised to take motion sickness medication. After two changes, I was half anxious and half excited about the departure. It was great to learn various things about whales from the staff's explanations. I felt reassured knowing that they would respond quickly if anyone felt unwell. I would like to participate again.

天候の具合で前日一日欠航だったあとということもあり、
波が高めなので酔い止めの薬飲んで来てくださいとのことでした。
2回変更後の出港は不安半分でどきどきしました。
係の方の解説で、クジラのことが色々わかってよかったです。
具合が悪くなっても、すぐに対応して貰えるので安心でした。
また参加したいと思います。
