All Reviews for Glass Bottom Boat

I arrived quite early than my reserved time, but I was able to board the next departing boat right away. It was a big tide and low tide, but I was able to see several sea turtles offshore!

After disembarking, I received a call on my mobile a little while later. They said, "Due to the low tide, the sea is murky, so we will be suspending operations for the reserved time. We apologize for the inconvenience. We plan to resume in the evening; what time would you like?"

Of course, I informed them that I had already boarded. I felt warm and fuzzy from their kind response.

予約した時間よりかなり早く到着しましたが、すぐ出航する次の船に乗せてもらうことが出来ました。大潮かつ引き潮でしたが沖で海亀を何頭か見ることが出来ました！
下船後、暫くして携帯に電話がありました。『引き潮で海が濁っているので予約された時間の運行を見合わせます。申し訳ありません。夕方から再開を予定していますが何時になさいますか？』と。
もちろん既に乗せていただいたことをお伝えしました。親切な対応にほっこりしました。

It was a fun first experience. I definitely hope to do it again. I was moved by the sea turtles. Nemo was also cute.

初めての体験　楽しかったです。
是非またよろしくお願いします。
ウミガメには感動しました。
ニモも可愛かったです。

I participated with my 5-year-old and 3-year-old. I tend to get motion sickness, but the ride was smooth enough that I enjoyed it without feeling sick. The kids were super excited to see Nemo and the turtles! However, my husband, who was sitting across from us, said he didn't get to see as many turtles as we did. Since we were the last to board, we might have had the chance to see the turtles at the same level as the captain, who pointed them out. It's not something that can be easily controlled, but sitting next to the captain is recommended! Also, I reserved the 10:20 AM tour, but I was informed that the departure times can vary a bit. They said, "We can guide you at 10:05 AM. The next one is at 10:25 AM," so I changed to the earlier time. If you arrive early, I recommend checking in right away to avoid wasting time.

5歳、3歳の子連れで参加しました。私は乗り物酔いする方ですが揺れが少なく酔わずに楽しめました。ニモやカメが見られて子供達は大興奮！ただ向かいに座っていた夫は私達ほどはカメを見られなかったそう。私達は最後に乗ったので、船長さんの隣で船長さんが見つけたカメを同じ目線で見られたのかもしれません。なかなかコントロールできることではありませんが、船長さんの隣、おすすめです！また、10時20分の回を予約したのですが出発時刻は多少変動するそうで「10時5分にご案内できます。次は10時25分です」とのことだったので早い時間に変えてもらいました。早く着いたら時間潰しせずに、とりあえず受付されることをおすすめします。

I participated with small children. We received plenty of explanations and saw various coral reefs, fish, and sea turtles multiple times. We had a wonderful time, and the children were very happy. Thank you very much.

小さい子どもたちと一緒に参加をさせていただきました。
たっぷりとご説明やいろんな珊瑚礁、魚たち、海亀も何度も見させていただきました。とても良い時間を過ごせて子どもたちも喜んでいました。
有難うございました。

I went for my birthday and it was a nice experience. The current was a little bit strong so we went to a different area for snorkeling. It is perfect for beginners or if it’s your first time snorkeling. Staff was so nice.

I think the beauty of the sea's color is in the northern part of Ishigaki Island, but even with not-so-great weather, the sea at Kabira Bay was very beautiful. They take you directly to the spots where you can see the corals and marine life.

海の色の綺麗さは、石垣島北部だと思うのですが、天候があまり良くなくても、川平湾の海はとても綺麗でした。
海の中のサンゴや生き物のいる所へ、ピンポイントで連れて行ってくれます。

I came to Ishigaki Island to see sea turtles. If I couldn't see them, I was thinking of going to the research institute on Kuroshima the next day. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a sea turtle. I arrived a bit early, so I would like to thank the staff who guided me to an earlier boat and the captain who helped me meet the sea turtle. Thank you very much.

石垣島に来たのはウミガメを見るためでした。もし見れなければ次の日に黒島の研究所に行こうと思っていました。
何とラーキーな事にウミガメと出会えました。
少し早めに着いたので、早い船に案内して下さったスタッフさん、
ウミガメに会わせてくれた船頭さん
有難うございました。

The weather was great, and it was the best cruise. I was happy to see sea turtles and Nemo (clownfish). It's a must for sightseeing in Ishigaki Island!

天気も良く、最高のクルーズでした
ウミガメもニモ(クマノミ)も見られてよかったです
石垣島観光にはマストです！

Kabira Bay is amazing. I was able to see sea turtles. I would like to participate again when I come to Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

川平湾最高です。ウミガメも見れました。石垣島に来た際はまた参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

The explanation was bright and polite, and I had a great time! This was my first visit to Okinawa for my honeymoon, and it became a wonderful memory.

明るく丁寧に説明していただき、とても楽しかったです！ハネムーンで初めて沖縄に来ましたが素敵な思い出になりました。

I was looking to ride a glass-bottom boat. It was cloudy, so I thought the visibility might have been better if it had been sunny, but there's nothing we can do about nature. Still, I was moved to see the beautiful seabed and even spotted a sea turtle.

I was worried about the bad weather in the morning, but I received a call from the staff at Marin House Gurukun, saying they could have us come earlier. Thanks to that, we were able to board an hour earlier than planned, and I appreciate the good attitude and service from all the staff.

グラスボートに乗りたくて探していました
曇っていたので 晴れていたらもっと透明度があったのかと思いましたが⋯自然の事には仕方ないですね
それでも綺麗な海底が見れウミガメも見れ感動しました
朝から天候不良で心配していた所 まりんはうすぐるくんさんから 早めに来てもらうことが出来ると電話をいただきました
おかげで予定より1時間早く乗ることが出来 スタッフの皆さんの感じも良く 対応に感謝します

Even when it's not sunny, the underwater scenery is beautiful. If the waves are rough, you might feel a bit seasick. Maybe it's because of my age. I was very concerned about the dead coral. It made me feel complicated, wondering if the situation here is destroying the Earth, but I decided to go for it. This is because I'm from a landlocked prefecture.

晴れていなくても、海の中がきれいに見えます。波が荒いと少し船酔いするかもしれません。歳のせいでしょうか。珊瑚の死骸が非常に気になってしまいました。ここで加工している事態が地球を破壊しているのかなと複雑な気持ちになりましたが踏み切りでした。なぜなら、海なし県出身だからです。

I made a reservation for 9:20, but since I arrived early, I was able to join the previous group. The sea was calm, and I was able to see a lot of fish right from the start. The staff's boat control was amazing! They adjusted the speed while providing explanations, which was fantastic. I even got to see a sea turtle swimming away from the rocks, which was the highlight! I also saw a clownfish.

9:20を予約しましたが、早く着いたので前の回に乗せていただけました。海も穏やかで、初っ端からたくさんの魚達を見ることができました。スタッフさんの船コントロールがヤバい！解説しながらポイントに合わせて前進後進速度ダウン、最高でした。岩で休んでるウミガメが泳ぎ出すところまで見れて最高でした！カクレクマノミも見れました。

I had a reservation for 1 PM, but since I arrived early, they let me take an earlier boat. It's the first place you come to when you drive there. The beach is very beautiful. I recommend taking photos from the observation deck.

13時予約でしたが、早く着いたので早い回の船に乗せてくれました。車で行くと最初にでてくるところです。浜辺は大変綺麗です。展望台からの写真はお薦めです。

When it comes to Ishigaki Island, you can't miss the glass-bottom boats at Kabira Bay. The explanations were easy to understand, and we saw a lot of fish! We even encountered a sea turtle, which was super exciting! It was a wonderful memory for my graduation trip!

石垣島といえば川平湾のグラスボート。
説明もわかりやすく、魚がたくさん見えました！海亀にも遭遇できて大興奮⭐︎卒業旅行の記念にとても良い思い出ができました！

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。

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（＾_＾）✨

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！

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^ ^

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。

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。

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。

In January, I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time.
Kabira Bay had incredibly beautiful, clear waters.
I could see all the way to the bottom of the sea, and I felt that the cleanliness was due to the cooperation of everyone in taking their trash home.
In the photo, I discovered a sea turtle, which is said to be a lucky encounter! On its shell, there was surprisingly a fish! It was a rare experience with two strokes of luck combined.

1月に初めて石垣島観光をしました。
川平湾は、とても海が綺麗で、透き通っていました。
海の底までくっきりと見ることが出来、日頃からゴミの持ち帰りなど協力があっての綺麗さだと感じました。
写真は、出会えるとラッキーと言われているウミガメを発見！甲羅の上には、まさかの魚が！2つのラッキーが重なった貴重な体験でした。

I was impressed by the beauty of the water in Kabira Bay even before getting on the boat! I was worried because I tend to get motion sickness, but maybe because of the beauty of the sea, I was totally fine! I was also able to encounter sea turtles, which was a lot of fun! I definitely want to participate again with my grandchildren!

ボートに乗る前から川平湾の水の綺麗さに感激！乗り物酔いをしやすいので心配でしたが海の綺麗さのせいかぜんぜん大丈夫でした！ウミガメにも遭遇する事ができてとても楽しかったです！是非孫たちとまた一緒に参加したいです！

I was worried because it rained in the morning the day before, but it turned out to be surprisingly beautiful. I could see the fish well too. I didn't feel sick at all.

前の日から朝も雨で心配でしたが、意外と綺麗に見えて良かったです。お魚も良く見えました。全然酔いませんでしたよ。

The explanations of various corals and fish were easy to understand and enjoyable. It was amazing to see the large sea turtles too!! I had a great time!

色々な珊瑚の説明や、魚の説明が分かりやすく楽しかったです。大きな海亀も見られて最高でした！！すごく楽しかったです！

I was able to see sea turtles and various fish. If you keep looking down the whole time, you might get seasick, so I recommend enjoying the view outside as well. There was some rocking due to the typhoon, but it was a very enjoyable time!

海亀やいろんな魚を見ることができました。
ずっと下を向いてると酔ってしまうので外の景色も楽しみながら見ることをオススメします。
台風の関係で揺れたりもしたけどとても楽しい時間でした！！

I was able to view rare corals and beautiful fish from the boat. Fortunately, I also got to see a sea turtle, which made for a wonderful experience.

The captain has a perfect grasp of where everything is, and his explanations are fluent, making the time fly by. I would definitely like to board again.

珍しいサンゴやきれいな魚たちをボートから眺めることができました。
運良くウミガメも見ることができて素晴らしい体験になりました。

船長さんがどこになにがあるか完璧に把握されているので、
解説も流暢で時間があっという間に感じます。
またぜひ乗船してみたいです。

Since there were many people, I made a reservation in advance here.

The parking lot was right in front of the reception, so it was easy to find.

Once I arrived at the reception, I was guided smoothly, and it was close to the boarding area, so I felt it was a good choice to use this service.

I think there was probably a discount compared to buying normally at the reception.

The underwater view from the glass-bottom boat was beautiful. During the cruise, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle and a rainbow.

人数が多かったのでこちらで事前に予約しました。

駐車場も受付の目の前なので分かりやすかったです。

受付に着いてからスムーズに案内していただき、乗り場までも近いので利用してよかったと思いました。

おそらく受付で普通に買うより割引が効いていたのかなと。

グラスボートで見る海の中もキレイでした。
遊覧中、ウミガメと虹が見れたのでラッキーでした。

I arrived earlier than my reservation time, but they accommodated me and let me board earlier. It was great to see the underwater scenery in the ocean. There were also many sea turtles. The boat swayed a bit, but my child was able to enjoy the experience without any issues.

予約の時間より早く着きましたが、繰り上げて早い時間に乗せてくれました。沖の海中が見れてよかったです。ウミガメも沢山いました。
船は少し揺れますが、子供も問題なく過ごせました。
