I understood that the winter sea has strong waves, so I took motion sickness medication and prepared for the cold before participating. I was worried about getting seasick from the rocking, but I didn't feel sick; however, I was quite exhausted from the strength of the waves and wind. It took a while to get from Naha port to the whale watching area. We spotted a whale's spout from a distance and patiently circled the area slowly, but we couldn't see it up close, and we had to return to port. It took time to reach the point, and I got tired from the waves and wind during that time, which left me feeling extremely sleepy after disembarking. Next time, I would like to go to an island that is closer to the whale watching area and then board the whale watching boat from there.
冬の海は波がきついことを了解して、酔い止めも飲んで、防寒も対策して参加しました。
波の揺れに心配していた酔いはしませんでしたが、波と風の強さにかなり疲れました。那覇の港からホエールウォッチングの海域まで時間がかかりました。遠目にクジラの潮吹きを発見し、かなり粘ってその付近をゆっくり旋回してくれました。が、間近には見ることはできず、帰港となりました。ポイントまで行くのに時間がかかるので、その間の波風に疲れ、下船後モーレツな眠気に襲われました。クジラのいる海域まで近いように島まで一旦いって、ホエールウォッチングの船に乗る形を次回はとりたいです。

I participated with my daughter on a weekday at the beginning of February. Perhaps due to the timing, I almost thought I had mistakenly signed up for a tour with foreigners (Chinese), as everyone around us was Chinese, with a few Koreans, and we were the only Japanese participants. Since we were the only Japanese, they kindly guided us to our seats and the staff was very friendly. The boat for whale watching was extremely rocky. Both my daughter and I are fine on boats, so we were okay, but most people were holding bags and looking exhausted, wondering why they came at all. The waves were that high and it was quite bumpy. When we headed out to sea to look for whales, we could go outside, but after a little running, we got soaked from the high waves, so I recommend bringing something like a raincoat. They also sell them before boarding.
It was wet and quite cold. As for the whales, during this time, we only saw a blow (the spout) and a glimpse of part of the body. I wish we could have seen more of the whole body.
In any case, I think it would be difficult for those who are weak on boats. I wish we could have seen the whales a bit better.
2月始めの平日に娘と参加しました。時期的になのか、一瞬外国人(中国人)のツアーに間違えて申し込んでしまったのかと思ってしまう程周りは全て中国人と一部韓国人、日本人参加者は私達という状況でした。日本人が私達だけということで先に席を案内してくれたりスタッフの方は親切にして下さいました。ホエールの方は、船がめちゃくちゃ揺れます。私も娘も船に強いので全然平気でしたが、何しに来たのか?というくらいずっと袋を持ってグッタリしている人が殆どでした。それくらい波が高く揺れます。そしてホ沖に出てホエールを探す時になると外に出て良いのですが、少し走ったりすると波が高くずぶ濡れになるのでレインコートの様なものを持って行くのをお勧めします。乗る前に販売もあります。
そして濡れるし結構寒いです。肝心のホエールは、この時はブローという潮吹きを目印にブローと体の一部がチラッと見えた程度でした。出来ればもっと身体全体が見たかったです。
とにかく船に弱い人に無理だと思います。
ホエールはもうちょっと見えたらよかったな。

It was a whale watching experience. I was a bit nervous since I brought my 2-year-old child along, but we were able to encounter whales safely! Since it was a New Year's trip to Okinawa in January, this whale watching experience, which can only be done at this time of year, was something our whole family had been looking forward to, so seeing the whales was truly moving.
However, the cruise while searching for the whales felt long. We waited for about an hour and a half, listening to the engine noise, wondering when we would see them. When we finally spotted a whale's tail in the distance, cheers erupted from the boat, and as everyone started to buzz with excitement, the whale jumped, and we could hear the sound. I wish it had been closer, but I guess that's just luck.
If I have the chance again, I would love to participate once more.
ホエールウォッチングでした。2歳の子供も連れてホエールウォッチングだったので緊張しましたが無事クジラに遭遇する事ができました!
お正月1月の沖縄旅行だったのでこの時期しか体験できない、というホエールウオッチングは家族全員ずっと楽しみにしていたのでクジラを見れた時は本当に感動でした。
しかし、クジラを探す間のクルーズは長く感じました。1時間半ほどずっとエンジン音が聞こえる中まだかまだか、まだかと待ちました。遠くにクジラの尾ひれが見えて、船から歓声が聞こえだし皆んながざわざわ騒ぎだすと期待に応えるようにクジラがジャンプして音が聞こえました。もっと近かったら良かったけどこればかりは運でしょうか。

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。

Due to the location of our stay, we participated in the tour departing from Chatan. The location is near "American Village," making it efficient for sightseeing after the tour.
Since it was the peak season for whale watching, the relatively large boat was fully booked. Most of the passengers were Asian tourists. Those who sat in the open (uncovered) seats enjoyed the fresh air but ended up soaked from the splashes by the time we returned, so I recommend choosing seats towards the back when boarding.
It can be quite rocky, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking medication is essential.
After arriving at the spot, we chased after the whales, moving around quietly. During that time, we were able to spot whales several times. I would love for you to experience it in detail, but it’s quite a rare experience, especially recommended for those with children!
滞在場所の都合上、北谷発に参加。場所は「アメリカンビレッジ」のそばですのでツアー後の観光にも効率が良いです。
ホエールウォッチングの繁盛期ということもあり、割りと大きめの船も満席状態。大半はアジア系の観光客。開放感で外側(囲いのない)の席に座った人は帰る頃には波しぶきでビショビショになってましたので、乗船時は奥の席をおすすめします。
結構ゆれますので、酔いに心配な方は薬は必須。
スポット到着後はクジラを追いかけ地味に移動を繰り返します。その間何度かクジラを発見することが出来ます。詳しくは体験して頂きたいですが、なかなか貴重な体験ですので、お子さんのいる方には特におすすめします!

The sunset, no matter how many times I see it, excites me! The view from the boat is something special. Perhaps because it's close to Naha Airport, planes also fly across the sunset, which is romantic. Mr. Matsumoto's singing inside the boat, mixed with Okinawan songs, is wonderful. The staff were also friendly and made it enjoyable, so I never got bored. If you're wondering where to have dinner in Okinawa, I definitely recommend this cruise. I'll participate again!

In Nagoya, it snowed the day before yesterday, while Okinawa's weather is unpredictable, with the forecast for the day being cloudy. It seems to be a hot 22 degrees, which is incomparable to Nagoya. When we departed at 9 AM, there were glimpses of sunshine, and I felt grateful for my usual good behavior and praised myself. After about 30 minutes on the cruise ship, we arrived at the point, and my wife excitedly told me, "Look! A whale!" I turned my gaze and felt excited too! The captain informed us that there was a whale where it had spouted water, so we eagerly scanned the surface of the sea. Then we saw another whale, and the excitement was overwhelming! The captain dashed towards it! We were surprisingly close to it. It takes patience, but the satisfaction of spotting one is incredible. It was a very satisfying cruise. Since we were on the ship for nearly two hours, those who are not confident should take motion sickness medication. It was fun!! I will participate again. I will keep this excitement until then. Thank you!

I gifted this whale watching tour to my sister and her husband for their 25th wedding anniversary. My husband and I also participated, so there were four of us. The whale watching was the highlight of this trip, but while there were a couple of whale spouts, I couldn't see them clearly. The journey there took quite a while, and the waves made the boat rocky, but we managed to endure it because we were excited about seeing whales. However, on the way back, the speed of the boat and the rocking were overwhelming! There was a storm of vomiting from all sides! It was tough. We didn't get seasick, but the experience didn't turn out to be a great memory as we had hoped. It's a shame. The weather was cloudy, but at least it didn't rain, so that was good. Since we are dealing with nature, it's understandable, but I really wanted everyone who participated to see the dynamic sight of the whales! I feel regretful. If there's another opportunity, I would love to go with everyone again! Thank you for the monitor tour! Great job, staff!
今回結婚25周年記念の妹夫婦にこのホエールウォッチングツアーをプレゼントしました。私達夫婦も参加し4人でいきました。今回の旅の一番の楽しみであったホエールウオッチングでしたが、鯨の潮吹きが2.3回あったようですが、よくわかりませんでした。行きも結構時間がかかり波もあったので揺れましたが、鯨に会える期待が大きかったので我慢出来ましたが、帰りの船のスピードと揺れにはまいりました!前から後ろから横から次々と嘔吐の嵐!しんどかったです。私達は船酔いはしませんでしたが、せっかくの楽しみがなんかあまりいい思い出にはなりませんでした。残念でした。天気は曇りで雨が降らなかっただけでも良かったです。自然が相手ですから仕方ないですが、ダイナミックな鯨の姿今回参加した皆んなに見せてあげたかった!心残りです。また機会があればみんなで行きたいなあ!と思います!モニターツアーまたよろしくお願いします!スタッフさんお疲れ様でした!

I participated in this trip because I wanted to show my husband the dynamic appearance of whales. I understand that it's about facing nature, but it was very disappointing that we only saw the spout a couple of times and the tail in the distance! To make matters worse, we were running late on the way back, and the boat was going too fast. We were splashed by the waves, and because of the roughness, many people were getting seasick and vomiting. It was unbearable to see the mess in front of us on the boat. I understand the staff's intention to help us see the whales, but I wonder if it would have been better to leave with the disappointment of not seeing them rather than the feeling of nausea. All I have left are the scenes from the boat! I really wanted to see the big whale! I hope to have another chance to try again next time.
今回主人に鯨のダイナミックな姿を見せてあげたいと思い参加しました。自然との向き合いなので仕方ないなと思いますが、噴気だけ2.3回尾が遠くにすこし見えただけでとても残念でした!おまけに帰り時間が押していて船のスピードが激しすぎました。波にあたって水しぶきはあるわ、揺れが激しかった為あちらこちらから、酔われて吐かれてました。汚物が前の方にかかったりして見るのも耐え難い船上でした。なんとか見させてあげようというスタッフさんの気持ちはわかりますが、吐いて辛かったという気持ちが残ってしまうよりは、見えなかった残念の気持ちが残った方が良かったのかな?と私は思いました。船上での光景しかのこりませんでした!大きなクジラの体が見たかったです!今度また機会があったらリベンジしたいなあと思っています。

I participated in the 9 AM departure.
To start with the results of the whale watching, I was able to see a mother and baby whale swimming together! Although I only saw their backs, it was heartwarming to witness them swimming close to each other, and I was even able to see them spouting water occasionally.
As for the process leading up to the encounter, first, we took a free shuttle to the meeting point, which was a really large bus typically used for tours (this may vary depending on the number of participants). Since it can't enter narrow roads, I recommend that those considering the free shuttle book a hotel close to the main roads.
During the ride, we were given a paper with participation guidelines, which we read and signed.
After picking up participants from their hotels, we arrived at Mie Castle Port. When I got off the bus, I noticed that there were mostly foreigners, particularly many from China.
At the waiting area, we submitted the signed guidelines from the bus, and at this time, I received a ticket, a postcard, and a whale book (one per group). The waiting area has restrooms and a smoking area. Although both are available on the boat, it seems better to take care of that beforehand.
It seems that the color of the ticket we received during participant confirmation determines which boat we would board; mine was green, corresponding to the boat in the photo. The boat had a maximum capacity of 70, but I think there were about 30 to 40 people on board. We were given life jackets upon boarding, which were easy to wear as they were the type you put on and tie. However, the life jackets had significant insulation, and it got hot, so I took off my down jacket and put the life jacket back on. I wasn't particularly cold throughout the trip. There were pink plastic bags hanging everywhere on the first floor of the boat, ready for anyone who might get seasick.
It was said that it was dangerous to go up to the second floor until we were a certain distance offshore, so I sat on the first floor by the side of the boat, and we finally set sail.
About 10 minutes after leaving the port, the second floor was opened up. When I went up, they handed me a raincoat, but the waves were so rough and windy that I was worried about being blown away… At that moment, a staff member guided me to a lower seat, saying, "This area is less bumpy." While it was indeed less bumpy, the rough waves and wind remained, so I gave up on wearing the raincoat halfway through.
After that, we were tossed around for about 30 minutes like a thrilling amusement ride. I was laughing the whole time due to the sheer fun of it. It really rocked a lot, so as recommended, if you don't wear non-slip sneakers, you might end up taking an unintended dive…
For those who are prone to motion sickness or have never been on a small boat, it's advisable not to go up to the second floor and to take motion sickness medication as recommended for peace of mind.
Then, as the boat slowed down… the main attraction made its appearance! As I mentioned at the beginning, it was very easy to spot the whales because the captain directed the boat toward the direction the whales were heading.
While watching, the situation was indeed bumpy due to the high waves. If you try to watch from the second floor, there is a steering seat in front, and behind it, there is a rope to hold onto. Depending on the waves and the situation of the people behind, the rope can dig into your stomach, and my friend who was with me started to feel unwell.
After about 30 minutes of watching the whales, the boat made a U-turn, and I wondered what was happening, only to find out we were heading back to the port (laughs). The return trip was also somewhat bumpy, but it felt less so than the outbound trip.
We returned to the port in about two hours. Since I had a flight scheduled afterward, I didn't use the shuttle. I picked up my luggage from the bus, called a taxi at the waiting area with a sign, and head
午前9時発便に参加させて頂きました。
クジラの結果から書きますと親子クジラが仲良く泳ぐ姿に出会えました‼︎
見られたのは背中だけでしたが、
母クジラと子クジラが寄り添って泳いでいるのがわかり、とても微笑ましい光景で、時折潮吹きも見ることができました。
出会うまでの過程は、
まず、無料送迎で集合場所へ、ツアーなどで使われるような本当に大型のバスでした。(これは参加人数などで変わるのかもしれません。)
細い道には入れない為、
無料送迎を考えている方は
主要道路に近いホテルを取る事をオススメします。
道中、バスの中で、参加の注意事項が記載された紙を渡され、それを一読し、サイン欄に名前を記入します。
送迎希望参加者のホテルを周り三重城港へ、
バスを降りてみると外人さんばかりでした。
特に中国の方が多かったです。
待合所にてバス内でサインをした注意事項を提出、
この時チケットとポストカードとクジラブック(こちらは1グループに1冊)を貰いました。
待合所にはトイレ、喫煙所もあります。
船内にも両方あるものの、こちらで済ませておいた方が良さそうです。
参加者確認の際にもらったチケットの色で
乗る船が分かれるようで、私は緑色で写真の船でした。
船に最大乗船人数が70と書いてありましたが、載っていたの大体30〜40人くらいだったと思います。
乗船時ライフジャケットの配布があり、
羽織って紐で結ぶタイプのものだったので、着用は簡単でした。
ところが、ライフジャケットにかなりの保温効果があり、暑かったのでダウンジャケットを着ていたのですが脱いで、再ライフジャケット装着しました。
最後まで特に寒くは無かったです。
船内1階の至る所にピンク色のビニール袋が下げてあり、
酔ってしまった方にすぐ対応出来るようになってました。
ある程度沖に出ないと2階に上がるのは危ないそうで
船内脇の段差に1階に座り、いよいよ出航です。
港を出て10分程で2階が解放され、2階に上がる時にカッパを手渡してくれたのですが、
上がった先は荒波暴風で中々着られないどころか、
飛ばされないか不安でした…
その時スタッフの方が「こちらの方が揺れがマシですよ。」と低めの座席に誘導してくれましたが、
確かに揺れはマシなものの荒波暴風は変わらない為、
中途半端に着て諦めました。
その後、30分程上下左右に揺さぶられ系絶叫アトラクションです。
あまりの楽しさにずっと爆笑していました。
本当にかなり揺れるので推奨されている通り
滑りにくいスニーカーで行かないと
不本意なダイビングをする事になりそうです…
乗り物酔いしやすい方はもちろん、小型の船に乗った事がない方は2階には上がらず、こちらも推奨されている通り酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安心です。
そして、船のスピードが緩まり…
主役のご登場です‼︎
見られた感想としては冒頭の記載通り、
船長がクジラの向かって行く方向に船を向けてくれるのでとても見つけやすかったです。
見ている時の状況は、やはり波が高いので揺れます。
2階で見ようとすると、前の方に操舵席があり、その後ろにロープが張ってあるので、それに捕まって見ることになるのですが、揺れや後ろの人の状況によってお腹にロープがめり込んで同乗していた友達は具合が悪くなっていました。
大体30分程クジラを眺め、ふと船がUターンして、何かな?と思ったら帰港でした(笑)
帰りもそれなりに揺れましたが行きより揺れがましな気がしました。
大体2時間ほどで港に戻り、
その後飛行機に乗る予定だったので、送迎は使わず
バスに預けていた荷物を引取り、
待合所に看板のあるタクシーを呼んで
那覇空港に向かいました。
そこそこ濡れてしまうので、髪がパキパキになります。
ツアー参加後はシャワーを浴びる時間を作った方が良さそうです。
今回見られたのは、悠々泳ぐ姿のみなので
派手さはありませんでしたが、これからのシーズンオスのクジラに会えたりするとまた違うのかもしれません。
私は船が楽しかったので、クジラに会えるかは期待し過ぎず、アトラクション目的でまた参加させて頂きたいと思います。

I used this service again, just like last time. This time, we were on a slightly larger boat, and the second floor had an open space, which felt really nice with the breeze!
Before heading out to sea, we received explanations about whale watching, which led to many discoveries!
Since I was able to see whales during the same period last time, I think there's a pretty good chance of spotting them again (^^).
When the boat is moving fast, it's fine, but when searching for whales, it might be tough for those who are prone to seasickness... You can buy motion sickness medication (in drink form) at the reception, so it might be a good idea to take some!
This time, I felt like we were able to see whales quite frequentlyヽ(*´∀`)ノ

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 participated in a tour on December 26. The weather was supposed to be good and I was told I wouldn't get wet, but while sitting outside on the boat, I ended up completely soaked. Unfortunately, we spent three hours on the boat without seeing anything and had to return. I was continuously vomiting due to seasickness. I understand it's nature, but it turned into a very sad memory for me.
12月26日にツアーに参加しました。天候も良く濡れることは無いとのことでしたが、船の外に座っていたところびしょ濡れになりました。我々は運が悪く3時間船に乗ったまま何も見えずに戻ってきました。わたしは船酔いでずっと吐き続けていました。自然相手のことなのでしょうがないのですが、とても悲しい思い出となりました、(;´д`)トホホ。。

It was a day that seemed normal, but there was no shaking, and the visibility underwater was not bad. The viewing spot stayed longer than I expected, so I was able to enjoy it slowly.
The comfort on the boat was also good. I was happy to hear explanations about the scenery visible from the deck.
After that, I had lunch at the Pacific Hotel, which offered a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, and there were plenty of drink options as well, so I was very satisfied.

On December 26th, I experienced this with my elderly mother, starting at 9 AM.
The day before, I received a call while I was still on the plane regarding the pickup, but since there were no messages, I felt anxious. In the end, I called them at night. All other communications were via email, so I thought it would be better to receive important information through email.
The pickup from the Regency Hotel was at 8:05 AM, and we were the first ones. As people from various Asian countries boarded, it felt like we were traveling abroad, filled with a sense of exoticism.
Before boarding, we signed in at a small hut and received a photo of a whale as a special gift along with a simple pair of binoculars. We were fine, but there were others who hadn’t received theirs after boarding, and they were told they would be given them after confirming once we got off, so I recommend being proactive and collecting them before boarding.
The boat had two types of seating: one in the dark bow and another with large windows at the back. The back was filled with foreigners, leaving some Japanese families and a few foreigners seated in the bow where they couldn’t see outside. Since the view was blocked unless you stood up and the engine noise was very loud, many people ended up falling asleep.
Once we set sail, the boat started to sway, and about 15 minutes in, some people in the bow began to feel nauseous. It seems everyone took motion sickness medication before boarding, so those who are unsure should be prepared. Also, those prone to seasickness might find it easier to manage if they can see outside.
After a little over an hour, we could see the Kerama Islands, which was the spot, and the engine stopped, causing the swaying to worsen.
Wearing windbreakers and life jackets was recommended to avoid getting wet, but with the heat, everyone was sweating profusely. Moreover, the boat was dark and lacked ventilation, causing even those who had been fine until then to feel unwell.
Everyone hurriedly took off their outerwear. I also planned to change into a lighter down jacket when going out onto the deck.
If a whale had appeared at that moment, it would have lifted everyone's spirits, but nature doesn’t always cooperate.
We anchored for about 20 minutes, but no whales showed up, and many people felt sick. Even those in the back with a good view started to feel unwell.
However, it’s a bit strange to say, but there was hardly any smell, so it didn’t lead to others feeling sick as well. The provided etiquette bags were double-layered and plentiful, which was reassuring. For those worried, it’s better to bring water to rinse your mouth.
Those who were feeling very nauseous were taken to the back where the wind was blowing, and it seemed to help them a bit as they could see the scenery. About ten people were being assisted at the back that day.
We reluctantly moved to wait for the whales to appear, but there were no sounds even from the underwater microphone, and we had to give up and return.
Upon returning to the port, the group representative handed out one boarding ticket each. We didn’t receive one each, so I’m a bit worried about whether only one person can retry in case of a second attempt, or if everyone can. There was no mention of this.
I had heard that the chances of seeing whales are low until mid-January, and that turned out to be true.
It was disappointing that we couldn’t fully enjoy the whale watching tour.
12月26日午前9時開始を老齢の母と二人で体験しました。
前日のピックアップの連絡はまだ飛行機で移動中に一度電話をいただき、伝言等がないため不安でした。
結局こちらから夜に電話しました。
他の連絡は全てメールでいただいたので大事な連絡はメールが良いなあと思いました。
リージェンシーホテルのピックアップは8時5分で一番乗りでした。次々とアジア圏の方が乗り込み異国情緒漂い海外に観光したような気分でした。
乗船前に小屋の中で署名をしたり特典のクジラの写真と簡易双眼鏡をいただきました。
私達は大丈夫でしたが乗船してからもらってない方がいらして、降りたあとに確認してから渡すと言われていたので、乗る前に自分たちで積極的に受けとるのがお勧めです。
船は前方の暗い船底?と後方の広い窓の2タイプの座席があり、後方は全て外国の方で埋まってしまい船底の外が見えない席に一部の外国の方と日本人の何家族が座りました。景色が立ち上がらないと見えないのとエンジン音がすごく大きく話も出来ないので皆さん寝てしまう方が多かったです。
出航すると15分位から船底タイプの座席から吐く方が出るほど船は揺れました。皆さん乗船前に酔い止め薬はのんでいたそうなので自信がない方は覚悟が必用です。
また酔う可能性のある方は外が見える方が酔いにくいかと思います。
一時間少し乗ったところで慶良間諸島が見え、こちらがスポットだそうで、エンジンが止まり揺れがひどくなりました。
濡れたりしないようウインドブレイカー等の着用が薦められていますが、それと救命胴衣の着用でかなりうだるような暑さで、皆さん汗だくでした。
しかも船内は暗く風が通らないので、今まで大丈夫だった方まで具合が悪くなりました。
慌てて皆さん着ていたアウターを脱ぎました。私もデッキに出るときに着直そうと薄いダウンを脱ぎました。
ここでクジラが出現してくれたら皆さん気分が変わって良かったのだと思いますが、自然相手はそううまくはいきません。
20分ほど停泊しましたがクジラは現れず吐く方が沢山いました。
見晴らしの良い後方からもさすがに具合が悪くなる方が出ました。
ただし、変な話で恐縮ですが、皆さん量はあまりもどさないのか殆ど臭いがしなかったのでつられて具合が悪くなるようなことはありません。
用意されたエチケット袋も二重で枚数も沢山準備がありその点は安心できます。心配な方は口をすすぐお水は持参された方が良いです。
また酔いがひどい方は最後尾の風が当たる場所にスタッフさんに連れられていき景色も見え少しは楽なように見えました。
この日は10人くらい最後尾でお世話になっていました。
やむなく場所を移動してクジラの出現を待ちましたが水中マイクでも声もせず諦めて戻ることになりました。
港に戻りグループの代表に1枚ずつ乗船券を渡されました。一人1枚ずつはいただけなかったのですが万が一再チャレンジは一人だけなのでしょうか?それとも全員可能なのでしょうか?
記載がないので少し心配です。
1月中旬でないと見られる確率が低いと聞いてはいましたがその通りでした。
本当の良さは味わえないままのホエールウォッチングツァーになり残念でした。

I was really looking forward to seeing the whales, and I'm glad I got to see them. I wish I could have seen them a little closer. I felt it was a bit hot inside the boat. When we spotted the whales, everyone stood up at once, which felt a little dangerous. But overall, I was satisfied.

I was looking forward to possibly seeing sea turtles based on reviews. On the day of the trip, the weather was partly sunny but mostly cloudy. After completing the check-in, just before departure, the staff announced the visibility level (level 5 being the best). That day, it was level 2, which meant visibility was poor. (I heard level 1 means you can't see anything... maybe we should cancel then.) Once we got out to sea, we moved to the lower deck of the boat. The visibility was indeed as the staff had said, bad... But even with that, we could see some things. Mainly corals, small fish, and sea snakes, with the occasional larger, less cute fish. Haha. I definitely think it's best to go during the peak season on a sunny day. I suggest not rushing your reservation; it might be better to check the weekly weather forecast first. Also, even if it's hot in town, it can be quite windy on the boat, so I recommend bringing a jacket.
口コミで、運がよければウミガメが見られるかも…とのことで、楽しみにしていました。
当日、天気はいくらか晴れ間が見えるものの曇り。受付を終わらせ、出発直前にスタッフから視界のレベルの発表がありました。(レベル5が最高)
この日はレベル2。見えづらい、とのこと。(レベル1は見えないらしい…それ、中止にしようよ)
船で沖に出たところで船内の地下に移動。視界は、スタッフの言う通り悪い…。
でも悪いなりに、それなりには見えました。
主にサンゴと小魚と、ウミヘビ。たまに大きめのかわいくない魚。笑
やはりベストシーズンで天気のいい日に行くのがいいと思いました。
予約は急がず、週間天気予報を見てからでも遅くないかなと。
あと、町は暑くても、船上は結構風が強いので、上着の持参をオススメします。
Dear Churuppy,
Thank you for your detailed feedback on the Orca. We operate daily in nature, but to be honest, winter often brings rough weather, making it challenging to provide optimal viewing conditions. If you call us, we can promptly share information from the boat. Changes to your reservation for the Orca can be made at no charge.
We look forward to the opportunity for you to join us again on a day with good sea conditions.
Best regards,

I participated three times and encountered the sunset twice. Is it a privilege of attending alone? I was able to enjoy my meal at a two-person table by the window and had a beautiful view. The staff on board were also very approachable, which made any worries disappear. Matsumoto's singing and performance were amazing!!! It's a shame that I couldn't fully immerse myself in the music because of the meal! I bought the CD without hesitation. Every time I listen to the CD, I think of the sunset in Okinawa, the Moby ship, the staff, and Matsumoto. Next time I participate, I will bring my wife along to share the experience together!
3回参加し2回サンセットに遭遇しました。
ひとり参加の特権?窓際のふたり掛けテーブルで食事が出来きれいに見ることが出来ました。
船内のスタッフの皆様も気軽に声を掛けて下さるので不安なんて吹っ飛んじゃいました。
マツモトさんの歌、演奏最高!!!食事さえなければじっくり聴き入ることが出来るのに残念!

It was our first boat ride with our child who just turned 4 years old. Since it was a windy day, we were informed during the boarding instructions that the fish would be hard to see.
We were allowed to move freely between the first and second floors until we reached the point to see the fish. It was a bit cold, but our child, who loves rides and was experiencing a boat for the first time, was very excited!
When we arrived at the point, we entered the underground room where we could see the fish. I wasn't expecting much since we were told visibility would be poor, but there were actually quite a few fish! I was worried about seasickness, but it turned out fine.
While on the boat, there was a continuous explanation about the Orca, but it was a bit disappointing that the engine noise and other sounds were too loud to hear it well. I would like to ride again next time when the water clarity is better!
4歳になったばかりの子供を連れて初乗船でした。風が強い日だったので乗船前の説明でお魚は見えにくいとのことでした。

ポイントに着くとお魚が見える地下のお部屋に入ります♪見えにくいとのことだったので期待はしていませんでしたが、結構沢山お魚さんはいました♪船酔いするか心配もしましたが大丈夫でした^o^

Hi,
I was a little skeptical while booking the Underwater Sightseeing cruise . Saw a lot of reviews and choose this tour. I am so happy that I choose this tour. It was a perfectly sunny day with high tide. The tour organizers informed that the visibility level is low, even before the tour begun. We were made to travel in the boat for 15-20 minutes into the Sea, before being asked to get to the seabed observation deck that opens up only after the boat reaches a particular area in the sea.
My kids loved what they saw - It was absolutely beautiful to watch the amazing underwater seabed with its own flora/fauna , fishes. Its so much different from what we get to see in an aquarium like Churaumi. This is LIVE & pretty much Alive ! Though the organizers told us that visibility is going to be low, it was much better than we initially thought of. The Boat takes a full circle allowing the guests to have a full view of the ocean floor.
I would recommend anyone to take this boat ride & have great fun. The kids will absolutely enjoy it !

We participated as three generations of our family. The boat's sway was at level 4 out of 5, but it wasn't as shaky as I had expected. However, I wish the water had been a bit clearer. After the cruising, we had a lunch buffet at the hotel. The hotel was close to the port, and the food was delicious.
親子三代で参加しました。船の揺れは、レベル5のうち、レベル4でしたが、思ってたほどの揺れではなかったです。ただ、もう少し透明度がよかったらなと。

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。

Me and my girlfriend decided to go on a trip to ride on a underwater sightseeing cruise. It was really easy to find the place and it's about a 45 minute drive from kadena if your taking the expressway from kadena going to Naha and about an hour going 58 depending on how the traffic flow would be. Anyway, I'd say it's been an average experience cause we didn't exactly have of good view underwater cause of the unexpected weather so the sand under the water is everywhere but it was amusing on how the crew brings out the fish towards you, you'd be on this boat that carries about 20 to 30 people out to the ocean It was about 5 miles out of the port to reach our destination and has a way to go below the boat with seats in the middle and has glass on both sides so you can see the fish, I was really surprised and me and my girlfriend really enjoyed it but I got sea sick after 10 minutes of staring at the fish which took us a total of 1hr and a half tour.

It was just okay.
Deciding in advance on the tenderness of the meat based on previous reviews was the right choice.
The cruise felt like it was just going around the port, so I couldn't really enjoy the scenery.
Overall, it seemed like the atmosphere was geared towards people from China and Korea.
まあまあかな。
料理は以前のレビューを参考にしてお肉の固さをあらかじめ決めたのは正解でした。
