Okinawa
The weather forecast for the previous day was cloudy with occasional rain. I was worried that the sea wouldn't look beautiful and that the trip might be canceled if it rained. However, it was sunny on the day of the trip (^ -^)v.
The scenery was so beautiful, unlike anything I had ever seen before. I was truly moved.
I was super excited from the moment I got on the boat.
前日の天気予報は曇り時々雨。海の色が綺麗に見えないだろうし、雨なら中止かなと心配でした。ところが当日晴れてました(^-^)v
こんな綺麗な景色、今まで観たことがないくらい。感動でした。
ボートに乗った時からテンション上がりまくりでした。
We are already older, so we wore T-shirts and denim, but for younger people, swimsuits really stand out! Please try to experience it while you're still young.
私たちはもう歳だからTシャツとデニムでしたが、若い方なら水着が映えますよね!
なるべく若いうちに体験してください。
Thank you for joining the tour!!
I'm glad we were able to take photos in such nice weather! Please make a reservation again when you come to Miyako Island; we look forward to seeing you.
ツアーへご参加いただきありがとうございます!!
晴れて良い天気の中で撮影もできて良かったです!!
また宮古島へ来た際はぜひご予約くださいお待ちしております。
I arrived early at the ticket counter, but I was quickly guided to the ship by a small bus, and I was able to board right away. I even got to enjoy a BBQ before departure. I had a great time without wasting any time.
切符売場に早めに着いたのに、直ぐに船まで小型バスで案内してもらい、そのまま乗船でき、出航前にBBQも食べることが出来ました。
時間の無駄なく楽しめました。
The taste and quantity of the meal exceeded expectations, which was great!
食事の味も量も予想を上回り、良かったですね!
It may have been a coincidence, but I couldn't see very well.
I thought that snorkeling in the shallow sea would allow me to see a clearer and more beautiful underwater world.
たまたまかもしれませんが、あまり、よくみえずでした。
シュノーケリングで浅瀬の海をみるほうが、きれいに、すっきりした海中がみえるんだと思いました。
Last time I experienced it, there were Okinawan songs, and I really enjoyed the Okinawan atmosphere, so I recommended it to a friend who hadn't experienced it before and participated this time.
However, this time, there was an elderly man playing the flute, and there were no songs related to Okinawa at all, just unrelated tunes. While the bad weather was unavoidable, was it really necessary to have the elderly man's performance in two parts? It was truly disappointing to hear only songs unrelated to Okinawa, especially with so many tourists participating.
I won't participate again, nor will I recommend it to others.
前回体験した際は沖縄ソングに歌もありとても沖縄感が味わえ楽しかったので、今回は体験した事のない友達に良かったからとお勧めし、参加しました。
今回はフルートをもったおじいさんの演奏、歌もなく沖縄とは全く関係のない曲ばかりでした。
天候が悪かったのは仕方ないですが、おじいさんの演奏は2部制にする必要はありますか?観光客が多く参加される中沖縄とは関係ない曲ばかり演奏されて本当にとても残念でした。
二度と参加しないですし、人にお勧めもしません。
I do not recommend it.
お勧めしません。
At the end of June, it was quite hot since the rainy season had ended. I originally planned to stroll around Kokusai Street for about two hours, but due to the intense heat, I thought of taking a sightseeing boat around 3 PM the day before and found this plan.
Since it was a request reservation for 10 AM the next day, I was wondering if we could go, but within about 30 minutes, I received a "reservation confirmed" notice, and they responded smoothly.
Also, there was a heavy downpour for about three hours the day before, so I was worried about visibility in the water, but it was sunny on the day of the trip, and we could see clearly. The kids enjoyed it as well, and we were very satisfied! Thank you for accommodating our last-minute reservation! 😊
6月下旬で、梅雨明けをしていたこともあり、かなりの暑さでした。本当は2時間くらい国際通りを散策予定でしたが、あまりのカンカン照りを受け、前日の15時頃にに遊覧船を思い付き、このプランを見つけました。
翌日の10時から、リクエスト予約だったので、行けるかな?どうかな?と思っていたのですが、30分程度で『予約確定』が来て、スムーズに対応頂けました。
また、前日に3時間くらいのスコールがあり、海の中が見えるか不安でしたが、当日は晴れていたこともあり、クリアに見れました(^^)子供たちも楽しんでおり、非常に満足です❣️
急な予約にも関わらず、ありがとうございました😊
It was our family's first trip with three generations. Thank you very much for accommodating my father, who has knee arthritis, according to the situation. The children also had a great experience.
家族3代での初めての旅行でした。
膝関節症のある父に対しても
状況に合わせて対応して頂き
本当にありがとうございます。
子供達にも良い体験ができました。
The weather was a bit cloudy, so it wasn't perfectly clear, but I could see a lot of fish. The boat was also swaying a little, and even though I've hardly ever experienced motion sickness, I ended up feeling seasick while staring into the water.
I think whether it's a hit or miss depends on the weather. Since the price is reasonable, I think it would be a good option to include in your plans for the last day.
天気が曇り気味だったのもあり、綺麗に見える!ほどではないけれどお魚は沢山見えました。船もやや揺れるレベルだったのもあり、乗り物酔いをほぼした事ない私が海中をじっと見ていたら船酔いをしました。
当たりハズレは天候次第だと思います。
お手頃価格なので最終日の予定に入れても良いと思います。
If you are prone to motion sickness, please bring motion sickness medication.
乗り物酔いをする方は酔い止めを持参して下さい
You can see a small school of tropical fish. There are many noisy people, but let's endure it for a while. When you throw food, a lot of tropical fish gather. It's a highlight.
小さな熱帯魚の群れが見れます。騒がしい人が多いですが、しばらく我慢しましょう。餌を撒くと熱帯魚が多く集まってきます。見所です。
If you sit on the outside, you can see tropical fish gathering for food.
外側に座ると熱帯魚が餌に群がるのが見れます。
The weather was unfortunate, but I could see some fish! I think it would have been even more wonderful if it had been sunny! I definitely want to try again. ^_^
あいにくの天気でしたが、お魚が少し見えました!
晴れだったらもっと素晴らしいだろうなと思います!
またぜひトライしたいです^_^
I was able to make a reservation at a great price for a group of three. One of the participants in my family used crutches, but there were no issues with boarding or moving around on the boat. I'm glad we could participate in the ocean activities even in that situation.
3人のグループプランでお得に予約できました。家族に松葉杖をついての参加者がいましたが、乗船も船の中の移動も問題はありませんでした。そんな状況でも海のアクティビティに参加できてよかったです。
The ship, the food, and the show all made for a wonderful memory. In particular, the thoughtfulness of the staff was very pleasant. Thank you very much.
船・料理・ショー共に、素晴らしい記念になりました。
特に、スタッフの方の心遣いが、とても心地良いものでした。
ありがとうございました。
Since the sunset starts early, be mindful of the timing for sunset photos and similar shots.
日没が始まると早いので、サンセットの写真等のタイミングに注意
Thank you for your review.
Once again, congratulations on your 45th wedding anniversary.
We are very pleased that you chose our company for your special occasion. Thank you very much.
We will share your feedback with the staff of the Moby Dick.
Receiving such kind words from you is truly encouraging for us.
We all wish you lasting happiness.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard again during your next trip to Okinawa.

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。
The ship feels quite old and lacks a luxurious atmosphere. Inside the ship, the seating is spacious and comfortable. There is live music, and you can listen to Okinawan folk songs and jazz. The staff seems a bit rushed, and meals are served quickly one after another. Appetizers, desserts, and coffee are available at the buffet, which can get crowded. It seems we were sharing the ship with a school trip, and the desserts disappeared within seconds, so they weren't replenished immediately, making it difficult to enjoy them.
船は割と年季が入っている感じです。ラグジュアリー感はありません。船内は席の感じは広くゆったり過ごせます。LIVEがあり沖縄民謡やジャズのような?音楽を聴けます。
スタッフの方はバタバタしている感じで食事は次々にさっさと提供されます。前菜とデザート、コーヒーなどはビュッフェ台にありますので混雑しています。修学旅行生と同乗していたらしく、デザートは数秒で無くなっていて、すぐに追加を補充される訳ではないのでほとんど食べられませんでした。
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 was able to see a lot of fish! My 2-year-old child was so excited that he was making sounds of joy (laughs). I usually get seasick easily, but I didn't feel particularly unwell this time. The duration was just under an hour, which was perfect.
たくさんの魚を見る事ができましたよ!2歳の子供も唸り声をあげて喜んでました(笑)船酔いしやすい私も特に気分が悪くなることはありませんでした。時間も1時間弱なのでちょうど良かったです。
The morning weather was bad, with wind and cold, but I was moved by the sight of small fish swimming energetically while diving. The coral was also clearly visible, and I was happy to see a turtle when the semi-submarine returned to the surface, as it was something that is not often seen. My mother was also very delighted. The cold was forgotten.
朝の天気は悪く風があり寒かったんですが、潜水して小魚達の元気に泳ぐ姿に感動し、珊瑚もよく見えて、半潜水艦が上に戻っていく時に、亀を見ることが出来て嬉しかった。なかなか見られないということだったので。母も大喜びでした。寒さ吹っ飛びました。
It might be a good idea to bring a sunshade hoodie, even if it's just during the boat ride on hot days.
暑い日でも船の移動中のみですが日除けパーカーをもっていくといいかもです。
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。
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。
It's a good idea to bring some mineral water as it also helps prevent motion sickness.
酔い防止効果もあるので、『ミネラルウォーター』もってきた方がいいですよ。
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
リコメンド:酔い止めは必須です。
親子クジラを見つけるまで約1時間、高速で航行していたので、すごく揺れました。何人か吐いてました。行きは、打ち寄せる波に向かって進むので揺れます。
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。
Since it's over the sea, the wind is cold, so a jacket is essential. It might also be good to have wrist warmers or gloves that cover up to the back of your hands, as your hands can get chilly while h
海の上ということもあり風は冷たいので上着は勿論ですが、携帯持つ手も悴むので手の甲くらいまで覆う手首ウォーマーや手袋あるといいかもです。
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。
It's essential to manage your health. Please refrain from alcohol the day before, as I believe I can handle seasickness, but make sure you board in good condition. About 30% of people experienced seas
体調管理必須です。前日アルコール控えるなど船酔い私は大丈夫だと思わず体調良しで乗船して下さい。3割ぐらいの方が船酔いされてました。
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✨
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。
I was able to see a lot of fish. It was disappointing that I couldn't see a sea turtle, but everyone in the family who participated was satisfied. The boat was relatively stable and quite comfortable.
魚が沢山見れました。ウミガメが見れなかったのが残念でしたが、参加した家族全員満足してました。船の揺れも少なくまあまあ快適でした。
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。
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。
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。
Riding the glass-bottom boat was a pleasant experience, especially since I don't usually get on boats. The breeze was just right, making it enjoyable. The smooth journey to the points where we could see fish and coral reefs was stress-free. It was really fun to see the fish up close in the water. However, many of the points had similar types of fish. Still, watching their movements kept us entertained throughout the experience. We were satisfied.
実際グラスボートに乗ってみると普段船に乗ることのない分、風が程よくて気持ちよかったです。魚やサンゴ礁が見れるポイントまでもスムーズな移動でストレスは感じませんでした。海の中を見る時すぐそこまで魚がいてとても楽しかったです。ですが見ることの出来るポイントの中には同じような魚ばかりでした。それでも魚の動きを見ていたら飽きずに体験出来ました。自分たちは満足しました。
It is a bit windy on the boat. You might need something to wear depending on the temperature and weather.
船の上は少し風が強いです。気温や天気を診て何かはおるものが必要かもしれません。
The coral reefs and schools of fish were clearly visible, creating a magical landscape. The timing was just right, and I was able to take quite a few photos. The staff's service was also good. Since the boat didn't rock, I thought it would be great if there were plans for whale watching and similar activities with this boat, and I would definitely like to take advantage of that next time.
サンゴ礁や魚の群れがよく見えて幻想的な風景でした。時間もちょうどよく写真もけっこう撮れました。スタッフの方の対応もよかったです。船も揺れなかったのでこの船でホエールウォッチングなどもできるようなプランがあるとぜひ今度も活用したいと思いました。
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.
午前の便が欠航になるような波の高い日で、行きは特に絶叫系の乗り物のようで波も浴び放題でしたが、ベテランクルーのみなさんの案内で見事にくじらに遭遇できました。くじらが水面まで上がってくるのをじっと待って、背中や尾びれが見えた時はすっかり興奮してしまいました。良かったです。
After departing, we moved over the sea for a while. When we arrived at the point, we moved to the inner cabin, and the cabin sank. It was nice that we could look out from the front window, as the view was wide. However, the actual time was short, and it went by in an instant. What was disappointing was that the young female staff member, although not meaning any harm, was rather unfriendly and seemed to just be going through the motions, providing instructions without much engagement. I would have appreciated a bit more smiling or explanations. Well, I guess that's how it is...
出港してから、しばらく海上を移動。ポイントに着くと、内側の船室に移動して、船室が沈下します。正面の窓から眺めらるので、視界が広いのはよかった。でも、実質の時間は短く、あっという間でした。残念だったのは、係員の若い女の人が、(悪気はないが)あいそなく、黙々とルーティーンのように、指示説明だけしておられたこと。
もう少し笑顔とか、解説とか欲しかった。ま、こんなもんかなぁ……でした。
