It was our first trip to Okinawa, and we were all really looking forward to the snorkeling tour as a family. However, the weather was bad on the day of the tour, and the boat was rocking quite a bit, making it a tough environment for small children. I ended up feeling seasick, and my son started crying, which made it very disappointing that we couldn't enjoy the ocean together for his first time.
I was also anxious because they only asked for our shoe sizes and provided almost no explanation on how to use the equipment or swim. Although they advertised that it was suitable for children from 3 years old and that even those who are not good at swimming would be fine, I felt that the content was a bit challenging for small children and beginners.
Additionally, the transparent floatation device mentioned in the rental section was not available. Instead, we received a regular black float. I regretted not preparing something for my son to see underwater.
There was a staff member who was very kind and attentive to my son, and I am truly grateful to them. However, I was shocked and frightened when another staff member shouted, "Don't just focus on one family! The parents are here, so leave it to them!" This was very surprising and disheartening, especially since it was our first time participating and there were many things we didn’t understand.
Furthermore, there was a slightly scary moment while changing. I was changing in the only place where the door could close, and another woman was being urged by a staff member to "hurry up and change" and "change inside." If she had opened the door, I would have been exposed, but thankfully, that woman refused and said "NO," which saved me. I am truly grateful for her courage at that moment.
I understand that there are aspects like the weather and sea conditions that cannot be helped. However, I believe that if there had been a bit more consideration for beginners and families with children, along with better explanations and support regarding safety and privacy, the overall impression would have been significantly different.
I wrote this review with the hope that others who are participating for the first time with small children will be able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I sincerely thank the staff who treated us kindly, the captain, and all the participants who were on board with us.
初めての沖縄旅行で、家族みんなでとても楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングツアーでした。
当日は天候が悪く、船の揺れがとても強くて、小さな子どもにはかなり厳しい環境でした。私自身も船酔いしてしまい、息子は泣いてしまって、初めての海を楽しませてあげられなかったのがとても残念でした。
足のサイズを聞かれただけで、器具の使い方や泳ぎ方の説明がほとんどなかったのも不安でした。
「3歳からOK」「泳ぎが苦手な方も安心」とありましたが、実際は小さな子どもや初心者には少し難しい内容に感じました。
また、貸し出し欄に書いてあった透明な浮き袋というものもありませんでした。普通の真っ黒な浮き輪です。
こんな事なら息子が海の中を見れるように
何かしら用意したのになと残念でした。
スタッフの中には息子を気遣って優しくついてくださった方もいて、その方には心から感謝しています。
ですが、別のスタッフの方が「ひと家族だけにつくな!親がいるんだから親に任せろ!」と大声で言った時は、とても驚き、怖さを感じました。初めての参加で分からないことも多かったので、その一言がとてもショックでした。
さらに、着替えの際にも少し怖い場面がありました。私が唯一扉が閉まる場所で着替えていた時、他の女性がスタッフの方から「早く着替えて」「中で着替えろ」と促されていました。もしその方が扉を開けていたら、私は全裸を晒してしまうところでしたが、その女性が「NO」と拒否してくれたおかげで助かりました。あの時の勇気に本当に感謝しています。
天候や海の状況など、どうにもならない部分もあると思います。
ですが、もう少し初心者や子ども連れへの配慮、説明や安全・プライバシー面のサポートがあれば、印象は大きく変わっていたと思います。
このレビューは、同じように小さな子どもを連れて初めて参加する方が、安心して楽しめるようになってほしいという思いで書いています。
優しく接してくださったスタッフの方、船長さん、そして一緒に乗船されていた参加者の皆さんには心から感謝しています。

Thank you very much for the one-day boat experience diving and snorkeling in Kerama. I truly enjoyed it and had a wonderful time. I was also very happy to see a sea turtle. I had some anxiety since it had been a while since my last dive, but the staff provided thorough guidance, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind. Furthermore, the hayashi rice and shaved ice we had for lunch were exquisite! If there’s another opportunity, I would love to do it again.

The weather was great, the points were all good, and I even got to see sea turtles; it was the best. Thank you very much. However, when I applied for this tour, I had to submit documents regarding health management, but I was asked to fill out the same documents again on-site. I received a confirmation email with the same attachments, but I was told that I didn't receive anything from Veltra, so I'm wondering what's going on...
天気にも恵まれ、ポイントもどこも良く、またウミガメも見れ、最高でした。
ありがとうございました。が、
本件申し込みの際、体調管理等の書類を作成提出の上のツアーでしたが、現場にて同じ書類を書かされました。同じものを添付の上確認のメールをもらいましたが、ベルトラさんからはもらっていないとの事でどうなっているのかなぁと・・・?

I was a bit scared because we traveled quite far after boarding. It swayed a lot due to the waves, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medicine before getting on. There were a few people who looked unwell.
The whales are quite far away, so if you don't watch carefully, you might miss them. The guide was kind and explained things clearly, and they seemed experienced as they quickly moved us to areas where whales were likely to appear. It started to rain, so we went inside, but if you stay outside, you will definitely be able to see them.
乗船してから相当遠くまで行くので少し怖かったです。波の影響でかなり揺れるので酔い止めを飲んでから乗った方が良いと思います。具合の悪そうな方が数名いました。
くじらはかなり遠方なのですごくよく観ていないと見逃してしまいます。ガイドの方は親切で説明もわかりやすく、くじらが出そうな場所まですぐ移動してくれたりと、慣れている感じがしました。雨が降ってきたので室内へ入りましたが、外にずっと居れば必ず見ることができそうです。

After about an hour of traveling by boat to where the whales are, we were able to observe them for an hour! I was very moved to see the whale performance called breaching up close. The waves were high, and I felt a sense of floating repeatedly, so I was doing my best not to get seasick. Since we couldn't return immediately if we felt unwell, it requires some mental preparation.
クジラがいるところまで1時間程船で移動した後、1時間観察することができました!
ブリーチと呼ばれるクジラのパフォーマンスを間近で見れてとても感動しました。波が高く浮遊感が繰り返しあり、酔わないようにするのに必死でした。気分が悪くなってもすぐ戻ることができないので、覚悟が必要です
Even if you usually don't get motion sickness, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. I also think chewing xylitol gum is a great way to clear your mind.
普段乗り物に酔わない方でも、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。キシリトールガムで脳をスッキリさせるのもいいと思います

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。

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。
Recommendation: Motion sickness medication is essential.
It took about an hour to find the mother and baby whales, and we were traveling at high speed, so it was very bumpy. Some people were vomitin

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。
It's a good idea to prepare by taking motion sickness medication.
酔い止めを飲むなどの準備はした方が良いです。

It was a day with high waves that caused the morning flight to be canceled, and the ride there felt especially like a thrilling amusement park attraction, with plenty of splashes. However, thanks to the guidance of the veteran crew, we were able to encounter a whale beautifully. We patiently waited for the whale to come up to the surface, and when we finally saw its back and tail, I was completely thrilled. It was wonderful.

Positive points:
- They stayed with my mother, who was struggling.
- The equipment was comfortable and good.
- The explanations were well done.
- I didn't know there would be three dives, but for an additional 5,500 yen, they took us to Tokashiki Island.
- They took us to good dive spots.
Negative points:
- I thought there would be a shop; it was my first time on a direct boat.
- My mother was diving for the first time, and I wasn't sure if she could do it, but we couldn't choose how many dives each person would do.
- Once it was clear she couldn't dive, I wanted her to be allowed to join the snorkeling group.
- My mother's payment for one dive was wasted, and I couldn't use it for my three dives.
- The return boat was too fast, and a basket full of equipment moved, pinching my legs between the bench and the basket, causing an injury.
- I shouted that it hurt, and even though someone must have seen it, no one helped.
- At that time, there was a mark, and later it swelled.

As the slogan suggests, I think there is a high possibility of seeing whales. However, it felt a bit lonely since you can only see their fins from a distance. I understand that you can't get too close because they are wild animals, and the weather also plays a role in this.

The departure that was originally scheduled for the morning was canceled, and it was rescheduled for the following afternoon. On the day of cancellation, the wind was strong and the waves were high, so I understood it was not possible. The following afternoon also had some waves, and I felt a bit seasick right after we set sail, which was tough.
However, after about an hour, we were able to reach the area where the whales were, and we got to see them. The number of whales increased from two to three, and they stayed with us until just before the boat returned. It was very moving.
However, it was disappointing that there seemed to be regulations preventing us from getting too close. Also, capturing them on camera was quite difficult.
当初予定した日の午前中が出港なしになり、翌日の午後になりました。中止の日は風が強く波も出ていたので、無理かなとわかりました。翌日の午後も少し波があり、出港してすぐは船酔いしそうでつらかったです。
しかし、1時間ほどしてクジラのいる場所に行くことができ、見ることができました。2頭、3頭、とクジラが増え、船が戻る直前まで、クジラたちはいてくれました。とても感動しました。

There were about 20 to 30 people on the boat, but it was nice that it wasn't so crowded that we couldn't see the ocean. Perhaps because it was the day after a high wave warning, the boat was really rocking, and quite a few people were feeling seasick and vomiting.
We spotted a whale less than an hour after setting sail, and we were able to see it from a decent distance. It didn't jump, but it did show us its fluke and tail fin several times.
I also appreciated the shuttle service.

While it may be expected to see these during whale watching, the excitement and impact of finally witnessing them after so many attempts is beyond words for me. The staff's guidance on where to look for the whales was also precise, and I believe everyone in the group was able to see them without missing out. I'm really glad I continued to participate without giving up.
ホエールウォッチングに何度か参加させてもらってますが、今回は何と、なんと、ナント…初めてクジラの一部を拝むことができました(^^♪
尾びれに背びれ、そしてブロー。ホエールウォッチングなので見れて当たり前なのかもしれませんが、何度も参加して拝むことができなかった自分にとって、その感動・迫力は言葉に言い表せません。
スタッフの皆様方のクジラの見える方角の案内も的確で、参加者みんなが見逃すことなく拝めたと思います。諦めずに参加し続けてよかったです。

I was worried about seasickness, so I joined this whale watching tour on a large boat. It was a nice bonus that they provided transportation close to the hotel.
After about 40 minutes out of the port, we spotted a whale and stopped the boat, allowing passengers to go to the front deck. During the hour of observation, we were able to see whales about 5 to 6 times.
■ Good points
- While the whales were diving, they provided explanations about them, which kept us engaged.
- When a whale was spotted, they quickly changed the boat's direction and got closer, making it easy to see.
- Although there was some rocking on the large boat, I was hardly worried about seasickness.
■ Bad points
- The boat was nearly full with about 60 passengers, and the observation deck at the front was extremely crowded. For safety reasons, we had to stay seated, which made it quite uncomfortable as there was no space to stretch our legs. Additionally, since the deck was flat, shorter people had their view obstructed by those in front of them, making it quite difficult to see.
船酔いが心配だったので、大型船のこちらのホエールウォッチングツアーに参加しました。ホテル近くまで送迎付きなのも嬉しいポイント。
港を出て40分ほどでクジラを見つけたとのことで停船し、乗客は船の前のデッキへ。1時間ほどの観察で5〜6回クジラを見つけることができました。
■良かった点
・クジラが潜っている間はクジラについての説明をしてくれたので、飽きずに見学できました。
・クジラが見つかるとすぐに船の向きを変えたり近づいてくれたりするので、見やすかったです。
・大型船でも揺れないことはないですが、船酔いは殆ど心配ないくらいでした。
■悪かった点
・ほぼ満席の60名ほど乗っており、船の前の見学デッキは超満員。安全のため座っている必要があるので、足を伸ばしたりできるスペースがなくかなり辛かったです。またデッキは平らなので背が低い人は前の人に視界を遮られてかなり見ずらい状況でした。

The weather was favorable, and I was very satisfied to see the whales. I would like to participate again when I go to Okinawa.
天候にも恵まれ、クジラの姿も見ることが出来大満足でした。 沖縄に行った時はまた参加させて頂きたいと思います。

I was able to see a mother and baby whale! I participated alone, but thank you for being so considerate. I got to learn about whale ecology and see samples of baleen, and thanks to the motion sickness set, I was comfortable.
クジラ親子が見れました!
一人で参加でしたが色々気を遣っていただきありがとうございました。クジラの生態やヒゲの標本なども見せてもらい、酔い止めセットのおかげで快適でした。

Before going, I thought it would be lucky if we could see them. We arrived at a place where we might encounter whales and waited. I was thrilled when I saw the spout. There were three whales: a mother and her calf, along with a male. They jumped several times, showed their large tails, and even raised a flipper, which got our guide excited as well. It seems it's rare for them to play for such a long time.
When the time came, we had to leave the whales behind. What struck me in the end was the captain's excellent maneuvering skills. Next time I go to Okinawa, I want to go whale watching.
行く前までは、会えればラッキーくらいに思っていました。
遭遇できそうな場所に着いて、クジラを待ちました。潮吹きを見たときは感激しました。母子クジラとオスの3頭でした。そのうち何度もジャンプしたり、大きい尾びれが見えたり、片手?を上げたりでガイドさんまでも興奮ぎみでした。こんなに長く遊んでくれたのは珍しいそうです。
時間になり、クジラを置いて私たちが帰って行くことになりました。
最後に思ったのが、船長さんの操縦のうまさです。
次回、沖縄に行ったら、クジラウオッチングに行きたいと思いました。
Dear Apricot,
Thank you very much for choosing us from among the many whale watching companies. On the day of your visit, we were able to see a lot of breaches, and the staff was excited! As you mentioned, the captain's skill really showed! We all look forward to welcoming you again.

The captain and the staff were all wonderful. We saw many boats watching the same whales at the same time, but I felt that the whales came closer to our boat and we were able to see more than on other boats. After an hour of observation, when we said goodbye to the whales, they waved back at us, which made me feel like they recognized us. It was truly an amazing tour. Personally, I love airplanes, so I was thrilled to see them up close from the boat. I went with the mindset that it would be lucky to encounter whales since it was nature, but I ended up seeing so many whales and was really impressed.
船長さんやスタッフの方も素敵な方ばかりで、
同じ時間帯に沢山の同じクジラのwatchingの船を
みましたが、クジラ達は私達の船と泳ぐように近くにきてくれたり他の船よりも沢山みれたのではと思いました。
1時間の観察後にクジラ達にさよならをしたときに
手を振るように又姿をみせてくれたので
私達の事をわかっているんだなぁと感じました。
本当におすすめなツアーでした。個人的に飛行機が大好きなので船からの間近で飛行機がみれた事にも感激しました。自然あいてなのでクジラに出会えたらラッキーくらいで行ったので飛行機ばかり目に入りましたが
それよりもクジラの群れやとにかく沢山みれて
感激でした。
Dear Mie,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day. We also appreciate you choosing us from among many whale watching operators.
The weather and sea conditions were excellent that day! It was lucky to see many planes landing since we were near the airport while the whales were diving. The reason we saw more whales than other boats is that our captain is very skilled at navigating! We all look forward to serving you again.

先日はツアーのご参加誠にありがとうございます。
また数あるホエールウォッチング業者からお選びいただきありがとうございます。
当日は天候海況ともによくベストコンディションでしたね!
クジラが潜っている間、ちょうど空港近くのため着陸前の飛行機をたくさん見れてラッキーでした。
クジラが他の船よりたくさん見れたのは船長の操船が上手なんですよ!笑
またのご利用スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。

- The waves were calm, and I felt comfortable without any seasickness. I wore a raincoat because I was worried about the weather, but it also helped keep me warm.
- I regret not being able to see the jumps like in the photos, but I was satisfied that I could clearly see the large tail fin.
・波も穏やかで、船酔いもなく快適でした。天気が心配なためカッパを着ていきましたが、防寒対策にもなりました。
・写真のようなジャンプが見れず心残りでしたが、大きな尾びれはしっかり目に焼き付けることができ、満足しています。
