All Reviews for Glass Bottom Boat

Before we even set off, the tropical fish gathered around, making for an exciting departure. The captain's explanations were very easy to understand. Even after disembarking, the captain answered all my questions without a hint of annoyance. He kindly explained things I didn't know, such as, "The fish come to the bottom of the boat to eat the algae that cling to it." I would love to go again.

出発する前から熱帯魚が寄ってきてわくわくしながらの出発になりました。
船長の説明はとても分かりやすかったです。
下船後も船長にいろいろと質問しても、嫌な顔一つされずに答えていただきました。『船底に魚が寄ってくるのは船底に付着している藻を食べるためによって来るんですよ。』というような、知らなかったことを丁寧に教えていただきました。
また、行きたいです。

If you come to Ishigaki Island, you must ride the glass-bottom boat.

The captain takes you to places where you can see fish. In the end, he took us to a spot where we could see sea turtles.

Due to COVID-19 measures, they have arranged the seating to maintain distance by leaving one seat empty between passengers.

This is definitely something you should experience.

石垣島に来たのなら必ず乗りたかったグラスボート。

船長さんは、魚が見れる場所に連れていってくれます。
最後には海亀が見れるポイントまで連れていってくれました。

コロナ対策で密にならないように席を1つあけて座るようになっています。

これは絶対に乗るべきです。

I requested to change my reservation to the following day due to not-so-great weather on the day before my participation. They responded very flexibly. Although there were a few clouds on the day itself, I was able to see many fish and turtles by focusing on the key points. However, I was unsure about the availability of parking and ended up getting lost, asking the neighbors for help. If there was no parking available, I would have appreciated guidance to a paid parking option. Overall, I am satisfied.

参加前日に予約も当日あまりお天気が良くなく、予約日を翌日に変更依頼。とても柔軟に対応くださいました。当日は雲も少しありましたが、ポイントをおさえており、たくさんのお魚や亀を見ることができました。
ただ駐車場の有無がわからず当日迷いに迷いご近所さんに聞くことに。ないならないで、有料駐車場の案内が欲しかったかな。
トータルでは満足です。

I participated early in the morning, and the weather was unusually nice for February. Just opening the windows of the glass-bottom boat and enjoying the ride was very pleasant. I was able to see various colorful fish, but I was especially happy to see a sea turtle. When it surfaced, everyone on the boat was excited and cheering! 😊

朝一で参加させていただきましたが、2月では珍しいほどの天候の良さで
グラスボートの窓を開けて乗っているだけでもとても気持ち良かったです。
色とりどりの魚たちも見れましたが、
やはりウミガメを見れたことがとてもうれしく、
水面に顔を出してきたときは船の中みんなで騒いでました(^^♪

The quality of the experience here is largely influenced by the weather. However, the staff are knowledgeable about each spot and will take you to places where you can see fish, coral, and sea turtles. When the wind is strong, it may be difficult to reach the spots further out. Additionally, the timing of the tides can also affect the experience, so if you want to avoid disappointment, it's a good idea to check the weather and tide charts before you go. I wasn't expecting much during a time when the weather changes frequently, but I was taken to a spot for sea turtles and was able to see two of them. The staff also provided various explanations, which was educational.

ここの良し悪しは、やはり天候に左右される部分が大きいかと思われますが、スタッフの方は各スポットを把握しているので、魚や珊瑚や海亀と見所のスポットに船を着けてくれます。風が強い時は流されてしまうので、沖の方のスポットは難しいかもしれません。また潮の満ち引きのどのタイミングかでも変わるので、がっかりしたくなければ、天候や潮見表で時間帯を調べてから行くと良いと思います。天気がコロコロと変わる時期で期待していなかったのですが、沖の方の海亀のスポットまで連れて行ってもらえ、海亀2匹に会えました。その他、色々と説明もしてくれるので勉強になりました。

The glass-bottom boat allowed us to see the beautiful fish and coral in Kabira Bay, and the children were thrilled to encounter sea turtles.

グラスボートは川平湾の綺麗な魚、珊瑚が見ることができたうえ、ウミガメと出会えて子供達も大喜びでした。

Although it was unfortunately cloudy on the day of the tour, the colors of the sea viewed from the boat were very beautiful! I definitely recommend taking a ride to see the colors of the ocean and the various corals!! It became a very memorable tour!

当日はあいにくの曇天でしたが、ボートで見る海の色がとても綺麗でした！是非、乗って海の中の色や様々なサンゴを見て欲しいです！！とても思い出に残るツアーになりました！

I was surprised by the large colony of geoduck clams.
I had them as sashimi, and they were delicious!
The sight of the sea turtles taking a breath was adorable.
For those who don't dive or snorkel, it's a must. The locals say you can't miss Kabira.

驚いたのは大きなシャコ貝の群生
刺身で食べました旨！
海ガメが息つぎする姿可愛かった
ダイビングやシュノーケリングしない人にはマスト 地元のお爺は川平見ずしてと

On the day, it was cloudy and there was occasional light rain, so I think it was probably harder to see than on a clear day. There were sea turtles, but unfortunately, we couldn't see them from our seats. It might be better to avoid looking down after eating since the boat sways.

当日は曇りでたまに雨がパラついてたのでたぶん晴天時よりは見えにくかったかなと思います。
ウミガメがいたのですが私と息子の席からは見ることが出来ず残念でした。
ずっと下を向いていて船も揺れるので食後は避けたほうがいいかも。

We were fortunate to have unusually great weather for this time of year, and I was very satisfied to see a variety of colorful tropical fish and a large group of giant clams. The clarity of the ocean is incredible.

この時期にしては珍しく絶好のお天気にも恵まれ、色とりどりの熱帯魚や大きなシャコ貝の群を見ることができて大満足でした。海の透明度が半端ないです。

The weather was clear, and the transparency of the water was amazing, allowing us to see the corals and fish very well. Additionally, the staff's explanations during the tour were easy to understand and great. I would love to board again if I have the opportunity.

晴れていたせいかさすがに透明度が素晴らしく、海中のサンゴや魚が良く見えました。また、戦中でのスタッフの方の説明も分かりやすく良かったです。また、機会があれば乗船したいと思います。

I took a glass-bottom boat tour in Kabira Bay! The weather was unpredictable, and visibility underwater was poor... I couldn't see many fish, but I definitely spotted a sea turtle!

川平湾グラスボート遊覧船に乗船しました！
天候不順で、海中の視界が悪く...
ほとんど魚は見れませんでしたが、
ウミガメさんは、しっかり見つけました！

Since it was rainy in January, I chose the glass-bottom boat. I was taken to several spots where there were fish, and I was very satisfied. Due to the rain, it seemed that the turtles were waiting in the shallow waters, and I was able to see them.

I wish we could have stayed a little longer at the turtle spot. I'm not sure why the boat left so quickly.

Anyway, just being able to see the underwater world from the boat was very satisfying! Thank you.

1月で雨だったので、グラスボートを選択しました。何箇所か魚がいるポイントに連れて行って頂き大満足でした。雨の為、亀が浅瀬に待機していたようで見ることが出来ました。
亀がいるポイントに、もう少し長く居たかたったです。直ぐにボートが離れていったのはなぜか理由があるのかは、不明でした。
ともあれ、ボートに乗るだけで海の中が見れるのは
大満足でした！ありがとうございます。

You just need to bring the voucher and present it at the reception, and you can use it for a discount, which I think is great. Since it was the off-season, the scenery was a bit different from the usual photos, but the visibility in the water was good. The captain also made an effort to ensure we could see well, so I enjoyed it.

ヴァウチャーを持参して受付に出すだけですが、割引で利用できるので余暇っと思います。オフシーズンでしたので少し景色は普段よく見る写真とは違いましたが、海の中はよく見えました。船長さんも工夫しながら見やすくしてくれましたので楽しめました。

The day after the heavy rain, we were blessed with clear skies at Kabira Bay. We participated in a glass-bottom boat tour at Kabira Bay. In the morning, it was low tide, which allowed us to see the sea floor clearly, including clownfish and blue corals. Near the open sea, we were lucky to spot a sea turtle swimming underwater. However, be careful not to look down too much, as it might make you feel unwell.

前日のザンザン振りの雨模様から一転、川平湾の当日は晴天に恵まれ
川平湾グラスボート遊覧に参加しました。
　午前中は干潮時間帯でしたが、海底までの距離も近い分、ニモ達や青サンゴ
などもクッキリ見ることができました。
　外海近くでは、水中遊泳中のウミガメさんも目撃出来、ラッキーでした。
あまり下ばかり見過ぎると、具合が悪くなる可能性もあるので、要注意です。

Since it was after the typhoon, I was unsure whether to cancel, but I decided to participate since I had the chance. I was able to see some things, but it was a bit disappointing.

台風の後だったので、中止しようか迷ったのですが、せっかくなので参加しました。
多少はみれましたが、ちょっと残念でした。f

We participated on a weekday before Golden Week, just the two of us, mother and daughter. We were able to see coral reefs and fish, and we even encountered a sea turtle, which made my mother very happy and created wonderful memories.

ゴールデンウィーク前の平日に、母娘で参加しました。サンゴ礁や魚を見つけることができましたし、ウミガメにも遭遇し、母も喜んでいていい思い出になりました。

I was expecting to see very clear and beautiful coral reefs and fish, so... I guess this is about what I expected. Kabira Bay was very beautiful, so just looking at it was fine. But the kids were happy.

とてもクリアで綺麗なさんご礁や魚を見れることを期待していたので、、、まあこんなもんかなという感じです。川平湾はとても綺麗でしたので、普通にみるだけでいいかな。でも子どもは喜んでました。

I participated in the extreme cold and rain.

I'm glad I could join even in the rain, but it was a harsh reality to see so much garbage floating in the sea while looking at the beautiful coral...

The activities were good overall. ^_^

極寒、雨の中参加しました

雨の中でも参加出来て良かったですが、海にゴミが沢山浮いていて綺麗な珊瑚を見ながら凄く現実でした、、、

アクティビティ的には良かったです^_^

On a cold day, it would be good for people who can't swim or the elderly. Please be careful as the way the sea looks and its colors change on bad weather days. The scenery from the sea changes, and it's quite charming.

寒い日、泳げない人、お年寄りの方などは
いいと思います。
天気が悪い日は海の映えかた、色もかわるので注意してください。
海からみる風景がかわり、なかなか乙なものです。

This was our first time visiting Ishigaki Island as a couple, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful sea and observe the fish. The captain's stories about Ishigaki Island were very unique and fantastic.

初めて夫婦で石垣島にきましたが、綺麗な海と魚の観賞が出来るとともに、船長さんの石垣島にまつわるお話がとてもユニークで最高でした。

I used this service alone. It was January, a cold season, and a weekday, but there were still tourists from the mainland and China. The beautiful view of the sea is thanks to the coral, and I was able to see the bright blue coral as shown in the photos. It's enjoyable to see the white coral remains covering the beach, but seeing live coral is also a delight. There are many unique fish that can be easily spotted in Ishigaki Island, which adds to the fun. The captain (there is only one crew member) takes you to points where you can see the coral based on the day's conditions, which is reassuring. I recommend this for those interested in the blue sea.

一人で利用しました。1月で寒い時期・かつ平日でしたが、それでも本土や中国からの観光客が利用していました。海がきれいに見えるのはやはりサンゴのおかげで、写真の様な真っ青なサンゴを見ることができました。海岸を埋め尽くす白いサンゴの死骸（？）を見るのも楽しいのですが、生きてるサンゴを見るのもまた楽しいですね。石垣島ならではのお魚がたくさん、かつ簡単に見えるのも楽しいです。船長さん（乗組員は1人ですが）がその日の状況に応じてサンゴの見えるポイントに連れて行ってくれるのも頼もしいです。青い海、に興味を持った方にお勧めです。

I used it for the first time. I had heard from my friends that it was really good, so I was looking forward to it. It would have been perfect if the weather had been better.

初めて利用しました。友達からとてもいいよと聞いていたので、楽しみにしていました。お天気がもっと良ければ最高でした。

I arrived alone in Ishigaki Island during some free time, and since I often see pictures of Kabira Bay in guidebooks, I decided to check it out right away. The staff at the reception were friendly, and the boats depart every 15 minutes. The explanations from the captain, who served as the guide, were easy to understand. Of course, the underwater scenery was a treasure trove of coral reefs and tropical fish. After about a 30-minute cruise, I want to come back next time with family or friends.

たまたま空いた時間を利用して石垣島に1人で到着、ガイドブックでよく見る写真が川平湾でしたので、早速行ってみることにしました。
受付の方達は親切、船は15分おきに出港、ガイド役の船長さんの説明も解りやすい。
もちろん海の中は、サンゴ礁や熱帯魚の宝庫でした。
約30分の遊覧、今度は家族や仲間同伴で来たいと思います。

We visited three points:
- Anemone roots: Clownfish and colorful fish
- Branch coral: Bleached coral and living coral (beautifully glowing blue)
- Rocky areas: Sleeping turtles and swimming turtles

At each point, the boat's direction was changed frequently so that everyone could see easily while explanations were given. It was hard to hear the voice over the engine noise, but the underwater scenery was beautiful.

3つのポイントを回ってもらえました。
・イソギンチャクの根： カクレクマノミや色鮮やかな魚たち
・枝サンゴ：白化してしまったサンゴ、生きているサンゴ(青色に光ってきれい)
・岩場：寝るカメ、泳ぐカメ
それぞれのポイントでどの席でも見えやすいよう船の向きをぐるぐる変えながら、説明してもらえます。エンジン音で声は聞きづらかったですが、海中はきれいでした。

You can observe various fish and corals from the bottom of the boat. We had a one-year-old child with us, and they were peering in with great interest. Unlike snorkeling, it's great that people of all ages, from children to the elderly, can easily participate!

船底から様々な魚と珊瑚を観察出来ます。1歳の子供も一緒でしたが興味深く覗き込んでいました。シュノーケリングと違い子供からお年寄りまで気軽に参加出来るのもgood!

Even though I can't swim, I was able to snorkel thanks to the support I received. I'm grateful to the staff. The phantom island and the beautiful underwater scenery provided such a wonderful experience at my age. It was truly moving.

泳げない私でも、サポートをしていただきシュノーケルができました。スタッフの方に感謝です。
幻の島といい海の中といいこの歳にしてこれほど美しく素晴らしい体験ができるなんて。感動でした。

I encountered a sea turtle, which according to legend brings happiness when you meet one in the clear blue sea.

I was overwhelmed by the incredible clarity of the ocean.

蒼く澄んだ海で、出会えると幸せになれるという言い伝えがある海ガメに出会えました。

海の透明度の凄さに圧倒されました。

The weather was nice and there were many tourists, but since I had purchased my tickets in advance, the exchange was smooth! I was able to buy them a little cheaper than on-site! I recommend it for older adults and those with small children! You can enjoy the ocean without getting wet while on the boat! They also provide explanations, which makes it fun! There are occasionally sea turtles, so be sure to look for them! I was able to see a sea turtle on the day of my visit.

天気も良く観光客も多かったですが、事前に購入をしておいたので引き換えスムーズでした!!
現地で買うより少し安く買えました!!　　年配の方や小さな子供がいる方にはおすすめ!!
船に乗りながら濡れずに海の中を楽しめます！！　説明もしてくれるので楽しいですっよ！！
.ウミガメがたまに居るので探してみてください!!　当日はウミガメを見ることができました
