When I asked the staff at the reception on the day of the event if there had been any sightings yesterday, they replied that since it was already late in the season, they hadn't seen anything. So, I wasn't expecting much. However, once the boat set sail, the boarding staff mentioned that they had a good chance of spotting something based on the morning trip. My hopes began to rise. But the boat was rocking a lot! After about 1 hour and 10 minutes, we finally arrived at the spot. At first, there was a long silence, but then someone shouted with excitement, and when I looked in that direction, there they were—whales spouting water! They showed themselves a few more times after that. The staff said there were two of them, but did they all look the same to me? While we were stopped at the point searching, I went up on deck, but the side-to-side rocking was intense, and my back started to hurt, which was a bit tough. But it was a great experience. I was also very satisfied with the parasailing I did in the morning, as I was able to soar quite high.
当日受付のスタッフさんに、昨日は出ましたか?と聞いたら、すでにシーズン終盤で北上してしまったのか、見られなかったとの答えだったので、あまり期待していませんでした。でも船が出港して、乗船スタッフの人から、午前中の便であたりをつけてあるので、見られるチャンスはあるとのこと。期待が高まりました。しかし、揺れる揺れる!およそ1時間10分。ついにポイントに到着したら、最初は長く沈黙が続いていたのですが、誰かが歓声を上げたので、その方向を見てみると、いましたいました。潮吹くクジラ。その後も何度か水面に姿を見せてくれました。スタッフさんは2頭いるといっていましたが、どれも同じように見えたのは自分だけ?ポイントで止まって探しているうちは甲板に上がってみていたのですが、横揺れがひどく、腰が痛くなり、ちょっと辛かったなぁ。でもいい体験でした。午前中に体験したパラセーリングもかなり高く舞い上がれたので、とっても満足でした。

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。

I'm glad the weather improved, but for someone like me who isn't used to being on a boat, the waves seemed quite high. However, despite the height of the waves, the rocking was minimal and it felt safe. The staff took great care of those who were prone to seasickness.
As for the main event, the whale watching, they seemed quite skilled at it and accurately located and communicated the position of the whales.

I participated with a group of four girls. I had heard that large cruise ships are less likely to cause seasickness, but two out of the four of us ended up feeling sick and wanted to return to land. Hearing that they were throwing up made me a little happy and boosted my spirits! I was glad to see a new side of my friends!

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.
慶良間列島の沖合まで出てホエールウォッチングをしました。
クジラを探すため低速クルージングしている1時間が船酔いする可能性が高いと思われます。酔い止めは必須と感じました。
自然が相手なので必要な時間が読めません。我々は9時出港で13時帰港となったのですが、予想よりも時間がかかったので観光する場所を減らさざるを得なくなりました。

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 traveled to Okinawa with two friends in March for a two-night, three-day trip. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see much of the beautiful ocean due to the weather. However, on the last day, which was our whale watching day, the weather was perfect. The guide was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.
At first, I was worried that we wouldn't see any whales, but we were able to see them clearly. It was also memorable to see a mother and baby whale together.
There were many people on the boat, including not only Japanese tourists but also a lot of foreign tourists, such as those from China. Since it had been rainy for several days, the waves were a bit high, and it seemed that more than half of the foreign tourists were seasick. However, our group had no issues. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took some medication beforehand, which helped. I recommend that anyone who is worried about seasickness take some medication as well.
Overall, it was a satisfying tour with good weather and no seasickness.
3月に友人と3人で利用しました。2泊3日の沖縄旅行でしたが、天候に恵まれずあまり綺麗な海を見れていませんでした。最終日のホエールウォッチングの日だけとてもよく晴れました。ガイドのお兄さんも、とってもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
最初は、クジラが見れなかったどうしようと思っていましたが、しっかりと見ることができました。また、親子のクジラを見ることができたのも印象深かったです。
船には多くの人が乗っていて、日本人だけでなく中国人観光客など外国人が多かったです。雨の日が続いていたこともあり、若干波が高かったこともあり外国人の観光客の方の半分以上が船酔いしていたようでしたが、私たちグループは問題ありませんでした。もともと、酔いやすいタイプなので事前に酔い止めを飲んで防げたので、心配な方は酔い止めを服用するといいと思います。
船酔いすることもなく、いい天気で楽しいツアーだったので満足です。

Encountered a mother and baby whale. The captain can tell how fast they dive underwater! The boat runs parallel to the whale, and when it dives and comes up again, it often appears very close to the boat. Of course, being a professional, that's to be expected, but I was thrilled to spend quite a long time with the mother and baby whale, sometimes as close as 20 to 30 meters from the boat.
The catamaran was sturdy against the waves, but it rocked quite a bit until we got closer to the Kerama Islands. According to my partner, nearly half of the passengers were using bags for motion sickness. The only ones left on the upper deck, cheering, were middle-aged men. I, who felt no motion sickness at all, had an emotional whale watching experience.
親子のクジラに遭遇。
水中に潜っているスピードが船長さんはわかるんですねぇ!
クジラと並行して船を走らせるのですが、クジラが潜って次に出てくる時に、殆ど船の近くに出現するんです。
勿論プロだから、と言ってしまえばそうなんでしょうが、ずいぶんと長い時間を親子のクジラと一緒に、しかも近い時には船から20~30mの近さで見られて感激しました。
揺れに強いカタマラン船でしたが慶良間諸島に近づくまでに結構揺れて、私の相方に言わせればほぼ半数近くの方々が袋を口にされていたそうです。
揺れの大きな屋上デッキに残って歓声を上げていたのは、すべて中高年の男性ばかり。

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。

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。
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!

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。

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。

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.

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.

That's because we were allowed to sit at the front deck, which was incredibly thrilling!
However, be careful with the payment! Most people paid in cash on-site, but if you book here, you pay by credit card, so it's best to double-check on-site. The receptionist told me that the reservation for Alan1 was also cash payment on-site, so I paid in cash. Later, when I showed the confirmation of the credit card payment on my phone, the cash I paid was refunded. Be cautious of double payments!
最初の1時間あまり見つけなかったので、諦めたところ、なんと2頭も現れました。しかもカップルでデート中だそうです。ラッキーなことに、鯨が橋のように横ジャンプもしてくれて、白いお腹もはっきりと見えました。他3艘の船も有ったが、この船が一番よかったです!なぜなら、先頭の甲板に座らせてもらえますので、迫力がすごすぎます!
ただ、支払いは気をつけた方がいいです!他の方はほとんど現地で現金払いだったのですが、ここで予約するとクレジットで払うので、現地で再確認した方がいいです。受付の人にはAlan1の予約も現地現金払いと言われて、そのまま現金で払いましたが、後で携帯でクレジットカードの支払い確認を見せたら、払った現金が戻ってきました。二重払いには要注意です。

The day I participated, the morning course was canceled due to high waves. I joined the afternoon course, and I was able to see something, but I got really seasick and it was quite painful.
For those participating, don't forget to take measures against seasickness! And make sure to get plenty of sleep!
私が参加した日は午前中のコースが中止になるくらい波が高かったようです。
私は午後のコースに参加しましたが、何とか見ることができました。ですが、すごく船酔いをしてしまい苦しい思いをしてしまいました。
参加される方は船酔い対策を忘れずに!そして充分な睡眠を忘れなく!

On January 2nd, we set off on our first family trip to Okinawa. We participated in a whale watching tour. The ride to the hotel was filled with excitement as we headed to the local port. However, I was honestly skeptical about whether we would actually see any whales. But... we did see them!! And a mother and calf too!! They were spouting water and jumping... it was amazing. I heard that February and March are particularly good months for whale watching, so I definitely recommend that anyone traveling to Okinawa should participate. Just a heads up, the boat does rock quite a bit, so it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication (laughs).
1月2日 初めての沖縄旅行に家族で出発しました。
ホエールウオッチングツアーに参加しました。
宿泊するホテルまでのお迎え⇒現地港までワクワクな気持ちでした。
でも、クジラなんて本当に見えるのか本当は半信半疑でした。
しかし・・・見えました!!それも親子!!
潮を吹き、ジャンプし・・・すごかったです。
2月3月は、特に見ごろだと聞きましたので、是非沖縄旅行をされる方は
参加されるといいと思います。
ただ、船はかなり揺れますので、酔い止め薬は飲んでいた方がよいかも(笑)

I was really excited when I saw a whale jump up close for the first time in a long while. It was incredibly powerful. This is an activity unique to winter in Okinawa, and I absolutely recommend it. The self-proclaimed handsome staff were very attentive and provided a pleasant experience. It felt like a great deal.
間近でクジラのジャンプを見たときは、本当に久しぶりに興奮した。すごい迫力である。
冬の沖縄ならではのアクティビティで絶対のお勧め。
自称イケメンのスタッフも、良く気が付き、気持ちの良い対応であった。
お得感満載である。

Dear Anonymous,
Thank you very much for participating in our whale watching tour.
The scene of the whales jumping (breaching) is a rare sight that our staff only gets to see a few times a month! (laughs) Although the waves were a bit high on the day of your tour, we are encouraged to hear that you were satisfied!
We look forward to your participation again if the opportunity arises!

この度は弊社のホエールウォッチングにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。
クジラさんのジャンプシーン(ブリーチ)、私達スタッフも月に数回しか見ることが出来ない貴重なシーンなんです!(笑)
当日は波が高めでの出港でしたが、ご満足頂けて私達も励みになります!
機会がありましたら、再度のご参加をお待ちしております!
