I was told by a friend who loves Okinawa that when the sea is rough, the chances of encountering whales increase because they are active in the water. That was exactly the case; there were huge waves about 3 meters high, and we were able to see a mother and calf whale.
However, many people were vomiting. Those who are prone to seasickness might want to think twice about going.
海が荒れているときはクジラが海の中で運動しているから遭遇率は上がるって沖縄好きの友人に言われました。
まさにその通り、3mくらいの大波ですごい揺れでしたが母子クジラが見れました。
ただ人間は嘔吐多数でした。
船酔いの自身のない人は自重した方がいいかもしれません。

This was my first experience with whale watching. The day before, I received kind and detailed instructions about the meeting place over the phone, which made everything go smoothly.
Just to be safe, I took anti-nausea and motion sickness medication, and I was fully prepared for departure! The guide shared four methods to avoid getting seasick: 1) Look at distant, stationary objects like islands. 2) Don't yawn. 3) Talk a lot. 4) Sleep.
After practicing these tips, we arrived near the Kerama Islands in about an hour. Suddenly, the guide shouted loudly that a whale had been spotted, and there was applause and cheers. We chased after a solitary humpback whale, catching glimpses of its tail a few times, and even saw it jump at the end. However, it was a bit disappointing that everything was at a distance and lacked the thrill I had hoped for.
According to the guide, the weather was nice and the waves were calm today, yet nearly 20% of the participants still got seasick. I think those who are unsure should carefully consider whether to participate. I also got sunburned, and the marks from my watch were quite noticeable. Don't forget your sunscreen!
Despite that, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!
ホエールウォッチング初挑戦。前日に電話で親切、丁寧に集合場所を教えて頂いて、スムーズに行くことができました。
念のため、吐き気止め、酔い止めを服用し、準備万端、いざ出航!
ガイドさんから、酔わないための4つの方法がありました。①島などの遠くの動かないものを見る。②あくびをしない。③よくしゃべる。④寝る。
これらを実践しながら1時間ほどで慶良間諸島付近に到着。
しばらくすると突然ガイドさんが、大きな声でクジラ発見‼︎と吠え、拍手喝采。単独のザトウクジラを追いかけて、数回、尾を見て、最後にジャンプまで。しかしながら、どれも距離が遠く、迫力に欠けたのが残念でした。
ガイドさんいわく、今日は天気も良く、波も穏やか、と言いつつも、2割近くの方が酔っていました。自信のない方は、よく考えて参加を決めた方が良いと思います。日焼けもし、時計の痕がくっきり。日焼け止めも忘れずに!
それでも、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

Since we had a one-night schedule on Taketomi Island, we were able to change our return ferry to a time of our choice the next day. Additionally, upon arriving at Taketomi Island, a representative from the water buffalo company was waiting for us, allowing us to smoothly transition to the water buffalo experience without any confusion. During the water buffalo ride, we enjoyed the tranquil scenery of Taketomi Island in a relaxed atmosphere. The weather was great, and even though it was the end of February, it was quite warm, making me regret not bringing sunglasses and better UV protection.
竹富島に一泊のスケジュールだったので、

If you want to visit Churaumi Aquarium but can't or don't want to rent your own vehicle, this tour is probably the best way to do it. Although the staff's English language abilities are minimal, they have some helpful signage and a lot of patience to help you out. The English speaking tourists were all given a headset which provided some interesting information along the drive to compensate for missing out on what the guide was saying. The additional stops: butterfly garden, Nago Pineapple Park, and glass shop were all very catered to getting you to spend more money on souveniers, but you don't have to buy anything and they were all (mildly) interesting enough that it wasn't an annoyance. Lunch is good, if a bit sparse. Bring snacks or buy some at the stops. The three hours at the aquarium is a good amount of time. Enough time to get through the whole aquarium and even catch the dolphin show or spend time at the other attractions. The staff was excellent and surprised us with a complementary pineapple sherbet at the end of the day, so that nice. They also offered to drop us off at the main shopping street or our original pick-up point, which was very convenient. Overall, I'd recommend this as a cost effective way (all the entrance frees and lunch are included) to see some of Okinawa Honto and get to the main attractions up north.

I was able to see the whales clearly. I was satisfied to see their tails multiple times. However, the boat sways quite a bit, so I think it's important not to let your guard down just because you are used to motion sickness from regular cruises or sightseeing boats. If you participate, you should definitely take measures against seasickness. Especially on the return route after whale watching, you should not let your guard down.
By the way, it seems that there is no drink service on this tour, so I think it's better to bring your own drinks.
クジラはしっかりと見れました。何度も尻尾を見ることができ、満足できます。ただ、船は非常に揺れますので、「通常のクルーズや遊覧船で船酔いには慣れている」と思って油断するのは禁物だと思います。参加するならしっかりと船酔い対策はするべきです。特にクジラを鑑賞した帰りの航路で油断してはいけません。
ちなみに、このツアーには飲み物のサービスなるものはないようですので、飲み物を持参したほうがいいかと思います。

During the free time of the company trip, I used this tour for sightseeing. I had never been to the southern part before, so I enjoyed various experiences. The Sefa Utaki involves climbing a small mountain, which might be a bit tough for the elderly. Unfortunately, it was raining, and the ground was slippery, which made me a little nervous. However, upon arriving at the solemn space, I felt my heart being cleansed. The Gyokusendo Cave and the Himeyuri Monument were also great. The optional tours for the company trip were all quite expensive, and later, when discussing where we went with my colleagues, they envied me when I talked about this tour. I think it's rare to find a tour with this content at this price.

南部の方は行ったことがなかったのでいろいろ楽しめました。
斎場御嶽は小山を登るのでお年寄りとかにはちょっとキツいかもしれません。あいにく雨で足元が塗れていて滑るので少しドキドキしました。でも到着した厳かな空間には心洗われる気持ちになります。

I was a bit anxious because I easily get car sick, but I took motion sickness medication and was careful with breakfast, so I was able to enjoy the trip without feeling sick.
There were three whales: a mother and her two calves, and the baby whale was practicing jumping while the male whale performed dynamic jumps repeatedly, which was incredibly exciting! They were so close that I forgot to take out my camera.
I joined the tour at my request, and when I got home, my husband said, "I will never forget today," which made me very happy. I'm glad I participated.
車酔いしやすいので少し不安でしたが、酔い止めの薬を飲み朝ご飯も気をつけたので酔うことなく楽しめました。
母子と雄クジラの3頭がおり、赤ちゃんクジラが一生懸命ジャンプの練習、雄がダイナミックなジャンプを何度もしてその迫力に大興奮! あまりにも近くてカメラを構えるのを忘れてしまいました。

I think this tour is perfect for those who want to visit tourist spots in northern Okinawa, including the aquarium, but cannot move around by rental car. If you were to go to the Churaumi Aquarium using public transportation, it would cost quite a bit just for transportation. I believe using this tour offers better cost performance.
However, one point to note is that the time spent at the aquarium is relatively short. Don't expect to have much time to leisurely explore and have lunch. That said, you will have enough time to see everything and catch the dolphin show.
I also want to mention that Ryukyu Village was surprisingly boring. Basically, Ryukyu Village only has traditional Ryukyu houses, and if you don't watch a show, you can go through everything in just over 10 minutes. There is a similar facility in the southern part of the prefecture called Okinawa World, which I visited the next day, and I found Okinawa World to be much more fulfilling overall. Looking back, I feel that Ryukyu Village was a bit of a disappointment.
Additionally, the snack shop we stopped at sells souvenirs that can also be purchased at the airport, so it felt unnecessary to stop there. I would have preferred to have more time at the aquarium instead.
Despite these complaints, the bus guide was enjoyable and kept the atmosphere lively, and I was able to learn a lot about Okinawa thanks to their thorough guidance. This is something you can only gain from a tour.
The sea at Kouri Island was incredibly beautiful and moving, and visiting the aquarium provided a valuable experience. I think the price is quite reasonable, so I rated it ☆4 for satisfaction.
レンタカー移動ができないが、水族館を含む沖縄北部の観光スポットを回りたいという人にとっては、ぴったりなツアーだと思います。
もし個人で公共交通機関で美ら海水族館へ行くなら、移動だけで相当なお金がかかってしまいますからね。このツアーを利用したほうがコスパがよいと思います。
ただ注意点として、水族館見学時間は短めです。ゆっくり見学しお昼ごはんを食べる時間はあまり無いと思ってください。とはいっても、普通に全部まわってイルカショーも見る時間はありますが。
あと言いたいのは、琉球村は意外と退屈でした。基本的に琉球村には琉球古民家があるだけで、ショーを見なければ10分強で全部まわれてしまいます。沖縄文化を楽しめる似たような施設として県南部に「おきなわワールド」があり、翌日こちらにも行ったのですが、おきなわワールドの方が全体的にとても充実していたので、今思えば琉球村はがっかりスポットだったなぁという感じです。加えて、途中に立ち寄る御菓子御殿ですが、ここのお土産は空港などでも買えますのでわざわざ立ち寄らなくてもいいという感じ。それならば水族館の見学時間を増やしてほしかったです。
このような不満点はありますが、ただバスガイドさんは楽しく車内を盛り上げてくださいましたし、丁寧に案内していただいたので、沖縄についていろいろ知ることができました。これはツアーでしか得られないことです。
古宇利島の海はとても綺麗で感動しましたし、水族館にも行けて貴重な体験ができますし、値段も安めだと思いますので、☆4満足という評価にさせていただきました。
Dear Warawara,

Thank you for your valuable feedback. The duration of stay at each tourist facility is one of the points we have received comments on from other customers as well. We have structured the itinerary to ensure that all attractions can be enjoyed sufficiently, but we do need to make some adjustments to the locations and times we visit. We will make sure to reflect your opinions and strive to create an even better tour!
Also, thank you for your kind words and wonderful photos. I hope we were able to convey some of the charm of Okinawa through this tour.
We look forward to your next visit. Thank you very much.

This is my fourth time in Okinawa, and I've visited many places besides the Sefa Utaki, but I always make sure to visit the Eisa show at Okinawa World and the Himeyuri Monument. I found this tour, which is reasonably priced and includes a guide's explanation, and decided to join.
The female guide was wonderful, her explanations were easy to understand, and she sang beautifully at the end. The half-day went by in no time.
I’m a woman, but I became a fan of this guide (laughs).
I participated alone, but there were also a few other solo travelers, as well as couples, families, and friends, so I think it’s suitable for any group type.
沖縄は4回目で、斎場御嶽以外は何度も来ていますが沖縄ワールドのエイサーショーとひめゆりの塔は必ず訪れる場所なのでガイドさんの説明も聞けて料金の手頃なこのツアーを見つけて参加しました。
沖縄美女のガイドさんがとても素敵で説明も聞きやすく最後に歌っていただいた歌もとても上手で、本当に半日があっという間でした。

The visit took place on a cold Sunday in February. It seems that many people visit during this month because travel companies offer discounted package tours due to the often poor weather. Since the participants of these tours join in unison, the water buffalo carts are packed so tightly that you can barely move your shoulders. I wish I could have enjoyed the sightseeing with a bit more space. While it was efficient, I wonder if it's worth it to see three islands in one day like an assembly line. The scenery and atmosphere were nice, so I would like to visit again at a more leisurely pace next time.
参加は、2月の寒い日曜日でした。2月は天候も悪い日が多いとかで、旅行会社が安くパックツァーを販売するらしく、訪れる人が多いそうです。そのツァーの人たちも一斉に参加するので、水牛車も隣の人と肩が重なるくらい詰め込まれます。もう少しゆとりをもって観光したかったな。効率は良いですが、流れ作業のようにでも一日で3島見られたので良しとするかどうかですね。景色や雰囲気は良かったので次回はゆっくりと訪れたいです。

The arrangements for the boat, water buffalo cart, and glass boat were convenient as they were all done together.

I participated with my son. In the morning, at the meeting place, I was informed that our online reservation had been canceled, which was very unpleasant. Since it was said that we would be taking a boat that is strong against swaying, I let my son board without giving him motion sickness medication, and he ended up feeling quite seasick. However, he seemed very excited to encounter a whale. The staff were very refreshing and left a good impression, but my son experienced more seasickness on the way back. I would have appreciated it if there had been a note suggesting that those who are anxious should take medication, or if medication could be sold for a fee.

It was a great deal since it was already cheaper than the original price and had an additional discount. The ticket pickup at the port and the water buffalo cart ride went smoothly, and the guidance was thorough, so I had no issues at all.
The shuttle bus schedule between the port and the hotel is fixed, so be sure to check it.
元々定価より安くさらに割引されていたのでお得でした。
港でのチケット受け取りや水牛車乗車もスムーズに進めることができ、案内もしっかりしていたので困ることは一切ありませんでした。
港とホテル間の送迎はシャトルバスの時間が決まっていますので要チェックです。

I used this service for a solo trip. The stories from the bus driver during the ride and the guide on the mangrove cruise were very interesting and entertaining. The timing was just right, making it a tour that I could fully enjoy!
ひとり旅で利用しました。
バスで移動中の運転手さんのお話や、マングローブクルーズのガイドさんのお話などなど、てても面白く楽しませていただきました。
時間配分もちょうど良くて、しっかりと満喫できるツアーでした!

Even though it's called a tour, the guide doesn't accompany you the whole time, so it feels quite free. Before departure, we were given tickets for the ferry, meals, bus, and water buffalo cart, and we moved to the next location on our own. Since various tours are happening simultaneously, some people mistakenly got on the wrong bus (but the bus guide will help you find your way, so it's okay). Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience, but if I had to say something, the lunch was a bit disappointing...
ツアーと言ってもガイドさんがずっと同行する訳ではないので自由な感じです。出発前にフェリー、食事、バス、水牛車等のチケットを渡され自分たちで次の移動場所に移動する感じです。色んなツアーが並行して開催されているので自分の乗るバスを間違えてる方もいらっしゃいました(でもバスガイドさんが捜索してくれるので大丈夫です)。とても満足な内容ですがしいて言えば、昼食がイマイチだったかな・・・。

I found a traveler's experience in the comments for this course, which made me want to participate. It was exactly what I expected and very enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone thinking about taking a solo trip to a remote island. The staff was attentive, and even though I was participating alone, I felt well taken care of and had no unpleasant experiences at all. The time spent swaying in a water buffalo cart on the round trip to Yubu Island was a blissful moment I will never forget. I am grateful for this wonderful tour, as it would be quite difficult to go on my own.
このコースの書き込みに一人旅で参加した方の体験談があり、参加してみようと思いました。期待していた通りの内容でとてもよかったです。一人でぷらっと離島に行ってみようかなと思う人がいらしたら、お勧めします。スタッフの対応が丁寧で一人で参加しても心配りがあり、嫌な思いは全くしませんでした。水牛車に揺られて油布島への往復した時間は生涯忘れることができない至福の時でした。個人ではなかなか行くことが難しいので、素敵なツアーがあってよかったと思い感謝しています。

We participated as a couple with our 0-year-old child.
1. I thought it would be completely fine if we prepared a baby carrier.
2. For an hour and a half after starting, we couldn't see any whales. The boat was rocking a lot, and I started to feel a bit nauseous. I regretted not taking motion sickness medication. I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
3. It was a long travel time of an hour and a half to see the whales, and then just over an hour on the way back. I couldn't sleep much and got quite tired.
As a result, I was satisfied because we were able to see a large whale right in front of us.
0歳児の子供と夫婦で参加しました。
1、赤ちゃんは抱っこひもを用意しておけば、まったく問題ないと思いました。
2、スタートしてから1時間半クジラが見えず。また揺れが大きかったので気持ち悪く
なりかけました。酔い止めを飲まかったことをちょっと後悔。酔い止めの服用を推奨
3、1時間半の行きとクジラを見た後の帰りの1時間ちょっと。移動時間が長くあまり寝る
こともできず、かなり疲れました。
結果として、大きなクジラが目の前で見られたので満足です。

Dear Izumi Kensei,
Thank you for using our services the other day!
How lucky to have your first experience be a jump! While you mentioned that it lacked impact, I think that distance might actually be good for the whales. Since they are wild animals, getting too close can cause them stress.
In order to continue whale watching in the future, we need to maintain a good relationship with them as well (^ - ^;).
Of course, there are days when the whales come incredibly close to the boat, which feels miraculous. So please do come back to Okinawa to see the whales again!
We sincerely look forward to your next visit, Izumi!
Best regards,
Mocchi, NEWS STAFF

先日はご利用ありがとうございます!
初挑戦でジャンプとはラッキーですね!
迫力に欠けるとの事ですがそのくらいの距離がクジラにとっても良いのかなと思います。
相手は野生動物なので近すぎると相手にもストレスになってしまいます。
これからもこの先もずっとホエールウォッチングを続けるためには僕らもうま~~~く付き合っていかないといけないんですね(^-^;)
もちろんものすごく近い日やクジラから船に近寄ってくる奇跡の日もございますので
是非ともまた沖縄に来た際はクジラを見に来てくださいね!
泉様のまたのお越しを心よりお待ちしております!!
