I am deeply moved. 感激

Reviewed by: YOSHIYUKI NISHIDA

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.

天気が回復して良かったけれど
船に乗り慣れていない私には波が高かった様に
思われましたが、波の高さの割には揺れも少なく
安全でした。
スタッフが良く船酔いの方の面倒見良く介抱しておられました。

本題のクジラのウオッチングにも長けていられる様で
クジラの位置を的確に捉え伝えてくれました。

It was so much fun! 最高に楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: きえふ

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!

The whales were cute.

女子４人組みで参加しました。
大型客船なので酔いにくいと聞いていましたが、４人中２人は酔ってしまい、陸に帰りたがっていました。吐いていると聞いてちょっと嬉しくなってしまい、テンションが上がりました！
友達の新しい面を見れて嬉しかったです！

くじらは可愛かったです。

Heavy rain. 雨激降り

Reviewed by: けろよ

It was soaking wet just about 20 meters from the building to the boarding area. They provided free raincoats, but they were too short, so my lower half ended up a mess... I was informed in advance that visibility wasn't great, and with little rain protection and the cold sea breeze, my spirits were pretty low.

However, when we arrived at the spot and moved to the viewing area below, I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few people there! Although there weren't as many colorful fish as I had expected, I could see relatively far into the depths, and it was moving to realize that natural fish were living in the vast sea. I've done scuba diving before, but I thought it was great to be able to peek into the ocean without getting wet and without a headache.

建物から乗り場に向かう20m程度でびっしゃびしゃでした。無料でカッパを配布して頂いたのですが長さが足りず下半身はぐちゃぐちゃに。。。視界もあまり良くないと事前に説明があり、あまり雨よけもなく海風で寒いしテンションだだ下がりでした。
スポットに着いて下の展望スペースに移ると、意外といる！！と嬉しかったです。思ったよりカラフルな魚は少なかったですが比較的奥まで見渡せ、広い海に自然の魚が生きてるんだなぁ、と感慨深かったです。スキューバもやったことがありますが、濡れずに頭痛もなく海の中が覗けるのは良いと思いました。

Motion sickness medication is a must. 酔い止めは必須です

Reviewed by: dormitorian

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。

First whale watching experience. 初めてのホエールウォッチ

Reviewed by: あっき

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。

Reviewed by: mio

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.

I would like to use this again when I go to Okinawa.

当日は普通に見えるとうレベルの日でしたが、揺れもなく、海中の視界も悪くなかったです。鑑賞スポットで思ったより長く停滞してくれていたので、ゆっくり楽しめました。
船の居心地もいいです。デッキから見れる景色の説明も聞けるので嬉しかったです。

その後、パシフィックホテルのランチを頂きましたが、これが和洋折衷種類も多く、ドリンクの種類も豊富で、大満足でした。

また、沖縄に行ったら利用したいです。

Poor visibility. 視界悪し

Reviewed by: チュルッピー

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。

First ride on the Orca! オルカ号初乗船♪

Reviewed by: みぃな

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。
お魚を見るポイントに着くまでは1階と2階は自由に行き来して良かったです^o^
少し寒かったですが乗り物が大好きで船も初めて乗った子供は大興奮でした！！
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^
船に乗ってる間オルカ号の説明がずっと流れているんですが、エンジン音などその他の音がうるさくてあまり聞こえなかったのが残念です。
次回はまた透明度が高い時に乗ってみたいです♪

All Ages Underwater Sightseeing Cruise Ship Orca with Departure from Naha

Underwater Sightseeing - At its best

Reviewed by: Prasanna SP

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.

I was able to see a mother and baby whale quite up close. かなり近くで、親子のクジラを見れました。

Reviewed by: rope

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。

All Ages Underwater Sightseeing Cruise Ship Orca with Departure from Naha

Orca adventure

Reviewed by: George

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.

First experience! 初体験！

Reviewed by: 石川 純子

It was my first cruise, and I had a wonderful time. It was also my first time in Okinawa, and with favorable weather, I experienced this with my family, feeling a bit anxious at first. However, we were able to enjoy ourselves immensely.

Before boarding, I had some worries about seasickness and hoped there would be fish to see. But once the cruise started, there was hardly any rocking of the boat, and I didn't get seasick at all. I could sit back and elegantly gaze at the sea, and other passengers were also smiling and enjoying themselves.

Near the boarding area, there was an airport where we could see planes taking off and landing, which was very exciting. Through the glass windows, we could see various types of fish, and with the guide's explanations, I learned a lot about them, which was fascinating. The fish with six stripes was particularly impressive. However, since the explanations were only in Japanese, I was a bit concerned whether the foreign guests understood.

The duration of about 50 minutes was just right, but if I could wish for more, I would have liked to see fish at another spot. It was such a fun experience, and my family and I had a valuable time together. By the way, near the boarding area, there was a diner where we could enjoy delicious, affordable, and hearty meals. The staff at the diner informed us about it, allowing us to have a good meal before departure. Overall, the staff's attentive service was greatly appreciated, especially since it was our first time for so many things.

Next time I come to Okinawa, I would like to participate in a cruise with a lunch voucher. Thank you very much. Additionally, this trip was a memorial for my mother, and I greatly appreciated the accommodating response to our sudden changes, which made for very good memories.

初めてのクルーズでしたが、とても楽しい時間を過 初めての沖縄、初めてのクルーズ、天候にも恵まれ初めての沖縄、初めてのクルーズということで、親親子共々少し不安ななかでの体験でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
船に乗る前は、船酔いしたらどうしよう‥‥魚がいなかったら悲しいな‥‥などと、少し不安な気持ちもありました。しかし、実際にクルーズが始まると、
船の揺れもほとんどなく、船酔いはしませんでした。椅子に座って優雅に海を眺めることができ、他の乗客の方々も笑顔で過ごされていました。
乗り場の近くには飛行場もあり、飛行機の離着陸が見られたことも、とてもワクワクして楽しかったです。ガラス張りの窓からは、いろいろな種類の魚が見え、添乗員さんの説明もあり、魚のことを知ることができておもしろかったです。特に、６本の線がある魚が印象的でした。ただ、説明が日本語だけだったので、外国の方は理解できているのかなとちょっと気になりました。約５０分間という時間も丁度よかったのですが欲を言えば、別のポイントの魚も見てみたかったです。それくらいとても楽しく、親子で貴重な体験をすることができました。ちなみに、船の乗り場の近くには、安くて美味しくボリューミーな料理が堪能できる食堂もありました。その食堂は受付の方が教えてくださり、出発前に腹ごしらえをすることができました。全体的にスタッフの方々の対応が丁寧で、いろいろと初めて尽くしの私たちにはとてもありがたかったです。
今度、沖縄に来た時はランチ券付きのクルーズに参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
また、母の追悼旅行でしたが、急な変更にも快くご対応していただき、大変良い思い出になりました。

After the typhoon passed, the timing was unfortunate, but if the weather is calm, it would definitely be a magical underwater experience! 台風が去った後でタイミングが悪し、穏やかであれば絶対に幻想的な海底体験！

Reviewed by: ポポロ工作室

To board the large passenger ship Orca, which has an underwater viewing room, you first head to the waiting area at Naha Port, located about a 15-minute walk from Asahibashi Station on the monorail (Yui Rail). When we visited, the left side was under renovation. Upon entering, there is a display next to the ticket counter showing "Today's Water Quality, Today's Swell" in stages. This display has five levels, and we were at the second lowest level (a state with some swaying and slightly murky water).

After waiting for a while, we boarded the ship, which headed to a point suitable for underwater viewing. During the journey, we enjoyed the blue sky, sparkling sea, and refreshing sea breeze from the upper deck. Upon arrival at the point, we descended to the underwater viewing room, where we could observe the seabed through glass. The room has benches in the middle, with guests seated on both sides.

What should have been a beautiful view of coral and tropical fish in a deep blue fantasy world was unfortunately not the case for us. It seemed we had bad timing, as the sign indicated that the sand on the seabed was stirred up, resulting in a slightly murky view. Coral and tropical fish were barely visible. It is said that after a large typhoon passes, the seabed changes to this state.

If the seabed were calm, the underwater viewing room on the Orca would be enveloped in a fantastical world. There are also plans that include lunch, so if the timing of the ocean currents is right, this optional tour could be a meaningful Naha experience that combines cruising and underwater exploration.

海底を除く地下室のある大型客船オルカ号に乗車するには、まずモノレール（ゆいレール）の旭橋駅から徒歩15分ほどの場所にある那覇埠頭の待合所へ向かいます。私たちが訪れた際は左側が改修工事中でした。中に入りますと窓口の横に「今日の水質、今日の揺れ」が段階的に示された案内が設置されています。この案内は５つのレベルがありまして、私たちは下から二番目（ある程度揺れがある状態、海が濁っていて少し見にくい状態）の状態でした。

しばらく待機した後は船に乗り込みます。船は海底鑑賞に適したポイントへと向かいます。その間、私たちは上の階から青い空ときらきら光る海、そして爽やかな潮風を堪能します。ポイントへ到着すると地下室へと降り、ここでガラスを通じて海底を鑑賞します。部屋は長椅子が真ん中にあり、両側に客が座るような構造となっています。

この窓から見るも美しい、サンゴと熱帯魚が舞う紺碧の幻想世界が広がっているーーはずだったのですが、残念ながら私たちはタイミングが悪かったようです。看板の案内にあった通り、海底の砂が巻き上がっているようで、少し濁った状態でした。サンゴや熱帯魚はほんのりと見える程度のものです。大型台風が過ぎた後は、海底がこのような状態へと変わるのだと言います。

穏やかな海底であれば、このオルカ号の地下室はファンタジー溢れる世界に包まれる事でしょう。昼食付きのプランもありますので、海流のタイミングが良ければ、こちらのオプションツアーはクルーズと海底探査を兼ねた意義のある那覇体験になると思います。

The whole family was deeply moved. 一家で大感動

Reviewed by: あさみ

This time, I participated with my husband and our 2-year-old daughter. Since our daughter is still 2 years old, I thought a tour where we could see fish from the boat would be just right. While waiting in the lounge, the level of the boat's sway and the visibility underwater were displayed, which was helpful. I believe the sway was at level 3, but in reality, the boat's movement was hardly noticeable.

Now, I was surprised that the Orca was quite an ordinary boat. I had imagined something like a submarine... like a Yellow Submarine. I wondered if this was going to dive underwater? No, right?

As we set sail, we enjoyed the view of Naha while feeling the wind on the boat. After a while, a staff member guided us to a room that led to the boat's lower deck. I understood what it was about.

It was a glass-walled room that opened up to the underwater world. The beauty of it instantly lifted my spirits. "Wow! So this is what the bottom of the sea looks like?" It was amazing. Schools of fish, coral, and jellyfish were floating around. They also provided explanations.

Our daughter was captivated by the underwater world and wasn't scared at all. Both my husband and I are not good at sports, and we thought diving would be scary and tiring, so we felt it was something we would never do. However, riding the Orca allowed us to discover the underwater world for the first time. It was truly mystical! The day before, we had visited the Churaumi Aquarium, but what we saw there was completely different. I had thought, "We're already seeing fish at the aquarium," but it was entirely another experience. Everything was a first for us.

The tour ended after about an hour. I didn't feel seasick at all. Since we booked the earliest time slot, we headed straight to the beach afterward to swim. It was great to make effective use of our time.

Oh, and before disembarking, we received a magnet from the Orca as a souvenir, enough for everyone. That made me happy too. If I have another opportunity to travel to Okinawa, I would like to invite my grandparents to join us. Thank you very much.

今回、私、夫、2歳の娘と参加しました。
娘がまだ2歳なので、船から魚の見れるツアーはちょうどいいかなと思って決めました。
待合で待っていると、本日の船の揺れや、海の中見える度が、レベルで表示されていて、参考になりました。確か、揺れますのレベル3でしたが、実際船の揺れは気にならない程度でした。
さて、案内されたオルカ号は案外普通の船でびっくりしました。私はいかにも潜水艦をイメージしていました。・・イエローサブマリンみたいな。これが海の中潜るの？違うよね、と。
出航して船上から風をきり、那覇の景色を楽しみました。しばらくして係の方が船の地下に続く部屋を案内してくれました。
そういうことか、とわかりました。
そこはガラス張りの部屋で海底の世界が広がっていました。あまりの綺麗さに一気にテンション上がりました。
えー！今いた海の底ってこんな風になってたの？すごいね。といった具合に。
魚の群れ、さんご、クラゲもフワフワしてました。解説もしてくれました。
娘も怖がらず、海底の世界に釘付けでした。
私も夫も、スポーツ苦手で、怖いし疲れそうだしダイビングなど一生縁がない感じでしたが、オルカ号に乗って初めて海底の世界を知ることができました。
本当神秘的！前日にちゅらうみ水族館行ったのですが、そこで見た世界とは全然違いました。
水族館で魚見てるしなぁ、と少し思ってたのですが、まったく別物です。全て初めて見た景色でした。
一時間程でツアーは終了。船酔いもまったくしませんでした。
朝一の時間帯で申し込んだので、その後すぐビーチに向かい泳ぎました。時間が有効に使えて良かったです。
あ、それと、下船の前にオルカ号のマグネットをお土産にいただきました。ちゃんと人数分。これも嬉しかったです。
次回沖縄旅行の機会があれば、おじいちゃん、おばあちゃんも誘って一緒に行きたいです。ありがとうございました。

Perfect for families with children under 5 years old!! 5歳以下の子連れファミリーに最高！！

Reviewed by: まんぷく丸

I just returned from Okinawa, where I brought snorkeling gear right after the rainy season ended, but unfortunately, snorkeling is prohibited in most areas due to the high number of accidents. It seems the only way to snorkel is to join a tour, and there are age restrictions that require participants to be at least 6 years old. So, I found this tour that allows children under 5 to participate for free, which is perfect for families with many kids!

Additionally, younger children aged 2 to 4, who might be scared of the ocean, will likely enjoy this experience very much.

Once on board, you can sit on the first or second deck and enjoy the sea breeze while waiting to reach the destination. When you arrive, you move downstairs to sit and observe the fish in the water. Although it's hot outside, the air-conditioned lower deck is cool and comfortable for viewing. Little kids get excited spotting the fish.

While it may lack the thrill of snorkeling or diving for us adults who know the joys of those activities, this tour prioritizes the children's experience.

The meeting point is conveniently located near the airport and in Naha city, and the tour lasts about an hour, making it easy to sign up and go. There is paid parking right in front, but since you won't be parked for long, it's just a few hundred yen.

With the airport nearby, planes were constantly flying overhead, and the kids were thrilled to spot them from the boat.

This was an excellent tour for families with small children!

梅雨明けしたばかりの沖縄にシュノーケリンググッズを抱えて行ってきましたが、ナント沖縄の海は事故が多いからと、ほとんどの海でシュノーケリングは禁止。シュノーケリングはツアーで参加するしかないとのこと。しかしそのシュノーケリングツアーも6歳以上と参加条件あり。。。で、5歳の子どもを連れて沖縄の海を満喫するには、、、と見つけたこのツアーです。

5歳以下の子どもは参加費無料なので、子沢山の子連れファミリーには最高！！
その上、実際の海はまだ怖がる2〜4歳くらいの子どもは、とっても喜んでくれると思います。

乗船したら1、2階席に座って、海風を感じながら目的地まで待ちます。
目的地まで着いたら、地下に移動し、座って海の中のお魚を観察できます。
外は暑いですが、この地下はエアコン効いてて涼しく、快適に見れます。
小さな子どもはお魚を見つけてはキャッキャッと喜んでいます。
シュノーケリングやダイビングの醍醐味を知っている私達大人とっては感動に欠けますが、ここは子ども優先のツアーということで。


集合場所も空港や那覇市内から近く、ツアー所要時間も1時間くらいなので、気軽に申し込みでき、行けます。駐車場は目の前で別途有料ですが、長時間停めないので数百円です。

空港が近いので飛行機がバンバン飛んでて、船上からそれを見つけては喜んでいました。

小さい子ども連れには最高のツアーでした。

Be careful of seasickness. 船酔い注意です

Reviewed by: ゆきな

This is my second trip to Okinawa this year. Last time, I tried scuba diving for the first time, which was fun, but I struggled with equalizing my ears, so this time I decided to take the Olga boat for a more relaxed underwater experience.

First, we moved to the viewpoint on the Olga boat. The boat is two stories and doesn't sway at all, allowing us to enjoy the scenery during the ride. I went to the first floor, which was cool and felt great with the sea nearby. The second floor only had a thin sheet for a roof, so it seemed like it would be hot up there.

Once we arrived at the viewpoint, we went down to the glass-bottomed cabin. When I was there, there were many passengers, so we boarded in two groups. Starting with the first floor passengers, I definitely recommend the first floor.

After descending into the cabin, we sat in two rows facing the glass. While it can't compare to scuba diving, you can see the fish swimming. (Since there is glass, the fish don't show up very well...) This cabin sways quite a bit, and since you're looking down, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious.

After about 15 minutes of viewing, we switched with the second floor. I returned to the first floor to enjoy the sea while waiting. About 20 minutes later, we arrived at the port and disbanded.

今年2回目の沖縄旅行。
前回は初のスキューバダイビングをして、楽しかったけど耳抜きに苦労したので...今回は気楽に水中をみれるオルガ号に乗ることにしました。

まずは、ビューポイントまでオルガ号で移動します。船は2階建てで全然揺れないので、楽しく景色を見ながら移動できます。私は1階に行きましたが、涼しくて海が近くて気持ち良いです。2階は薄いシートの屋根のみなので暑そうな感じでした。

ビューポイントに着いたら、地下のガラス張りの船内に行きます。私の時は乗船客が多く、2回に分けて入りました。1階のお客さんからなので、やっぱり1階がオススメです。

船内に降りたら、外のガラスに向かって横2列に座ってみます。さすがにスキューバダイビングには負けますが、魚が泳いでいるのが見えます。（ガラスがあるので魚があまり写りません...）この船内がものすごく揺れる&下を見るので、船酔いしやすい人はご注意ください。

15分くらい鑑賞したら、2階目方と交代。1階に戻って海を鑑賞して待ちます。そこから20分くらいで港について解散です。

Orca Cruise! Underwater Exploration! オルカ号クルーズ！海底探検！

Reviewed by: RTB

It was during the rainy season in June, but somehow the weather held up, and I was able to participate without any issues. The other participants on the same flight included a family with three small children and a group from overseas.

As we set sail, I heard that the waves were a bit bigger, so I took some motion sickness medication just in case, but it didn't seem to be that bad. We safely crossed the waves, and the boat came to a near stop. Finally, we headed down to the underwater viewing room.

Since there were quite a few people, I was a little worried about whether everyone would have a seat, but there was absolutely no problem, and everyone was comfortably seated. I had heard before we set sail that the seabed was a bit cloudy, but perhaps because the boat moved slowly, I thought it looked quite beautiful. The fish, which were initially scattered, gradually started to swim in groups and gathered around the boat.

As I mentioned earlier, I tend to get motion sickness, so I was concerned, but they announced beforehand that looking down continuously can make you feel sick, which helped me enjoy the experience. There were also names of the fish posted above the windows, which was helpful.

The cruising experience went by in a flash, but this time, I had to give up snorkeling due to a companion's injury, so I was very satisfied with the experience overall.

6月の梅雨の時期でしたが、なんとか天候ももち、無事に参加ができました。同じ便での参加は、三人の小さなお子さんを連れた家族と、海外からのグループのかたがたでした。

出航して、少し波が大きめとのことでしたので、一応、酔い止めも飲みましたが、そこまでではなかったような気がします。無事に波を超えて、船もほぼストップ。いよいよ、階下の海の除けるお部屋へ。

そこそこの人数がいたので、「全員座れるかな？」と少し心配したのですが、まったく問題はなく、全員がゆったり座れる状態でした。出航前に、海底が少し曇ってると聞いていたのですが、船がゆっくりと進むからでしょうか、私としてはかなりきれいに見えたと思います。お魚も最初はぱらぱらとしていたのが、だんだんと集団で泳ぐようになり、船に群がってきました。

先にも書きましたが、何分、乗り物酔いをしやすいので、心配したのですが、見るときの注意として、下を見続けると酔いやすいです、といったことを事前にアナウンスしてくださいましたので、それもあり、楽しく見ることができました。魚の名前なども窓の上に貼ってあり、参考になりました。

あっという間のクルージングでしたが、今回、同行者が怪我のため、スノーケリングはあきらめましたので、その分、大満足でした。

All Ages Underwater Sightseeing Cruise Ship Orca with Departure from Naha

Worth the money

Reviewed by: A Lee

It wasn't my first time doing similar activities. I had been to Langhawi and Bali but it wasnt as interesting as this time. There was a briefing of 5 minutes before the start of the boat trip. the staff memeber let you know about the visibility and the condition of the sea, which i think was very thoughtful for it let you know what you would expect. fortunately the visibility was ok and the sea was not rough. Although the website said the boat could carry 200 people, i just saw a group of tour and a family of japanese, which made the boat spacious and wouldnt feel cramped while all people stay on the lowest level watching the fish. i was able to see lots of fish around, it was very amazing and exciting. i took a lot of photos. this is really a great experience and is a must try when you are in okinawa

The Orca was nice! ☆ オルカ号ナイスでした☆

Reviewed by: ピース☆

Since I came to Okinawa, I wanted to see the beautiful underwater scenery, so I signed up for the underwater sightseeing boat Orca cruise. The price was reasonable, and I had never experienced seeing the ocean from the bottom of a boat, so I was really looking forward to it. Also, since I was with a 0-year-old, the fact that it was a plan we could participate in was another reason I signed up.

On the day of the cruise, there were some waves, but it was sunny. The visibility was rated 2 out of 5, but I was able to see schools of beautiful fish swimming. Since it was the rainy season, I was a bit worried about rain, but it seemed to be no problem.

However, when the boat stopped at the watching point, it swayed quite a bit, so I think people who are not used to being on boats might get seasick. The boat approaches the schools of fish and provides explanations about them, and the bottom of the boat is air-conditioned, so it seemed fine even in the middle of summer.

It’s a rare opportunity to see various fish swimming in the ocean up close, so I’m glad I had such an interesting experience. On the way back, I received a magnet souvenir, which made for a nice memory.

沖縄に来たので折角なので、沖縄のキレイな海底をみたいという事になり、水中観光船オルカ号クルーズに申し込みました。
値段もリーズナブルで、船底から海を見れる経験もした事がなかったので、とても楽しみにしてました。また、0歳児も一緒なので、参加可能なプランであることも、申し込んだ理由でした。
当日は波は少しありましたが、晴天でした。透明度は2/5段階でしたが、綺麗に魚が泳いでる群れの姿も見れました。
梅雨なので、少し雨が降った場合も心配しましたが、どうやら問題なさそうです。
ただ、ウォッチングポイントで船が止まると割と船が揺れるので、普段船に乗る機会がない人は酔いやすいかと思います。
船がお魚の群れの方に近づいて、魚の説明をしてくれますし、船底は冷房が効いてて真夏でも問題なさそうです。
海で泳いでる色んな魚を生で観れる機会もほとんどないので、面白い体験が出来て良かったです。
帰りにマグネットのお土産を頂きまして、いい思い出になりました。

My 2-year-old was very satisfied with the boat and the airplane. ２歳の子どもは船と飛行機に大満足でした。

Reviewed by: SPIDEY

I was looking for activities that a 2-year-old child could enjoy, and that a 0-year-old could experience together, so I booked the Orca, which offers a boat ride and underwater watching. It was conveniently located near Naha Airport, with parking right in front of the meeting point. The parking fee seemed to be 160 yen per hour.

On the day of the activity, there were two groups totaling 90 people. I was worried about the crowd, but we were guided to the underwater viewing room in two batches, so there was no issue with not having a place to sit. The water clarity was at a "can see" level in the middle, and I thought it would be tough if it got any murkier. It was quite difficult to take photos with a compact digital camera.

When we reached the viewing point, the staff scattered food, which attracted a lot of fish. It was clearer to see from the boat than from the viewing room.

My 2-year-old was super excited, even though there weren't many visible fish, because they got to ride on the boat and see airplanes. They were also happy to receive a souvenir magnet at the end.

The total duration was about an hour, and since it’s close to the airport, you can easily fit it into a short break. I recommend it for those who want to enjoy activities casually or for families with small children.

２歳の子供が楽しめて、０歳も一緒に体験できるアクティビティを探していましたが、船に乗れて、海底ウォッチングが楽しめるオルカ号を予約しました。那覇空港から近く、駐車場が集合場所の目の前なので、アクセスがよくて便利でした。駐車料金は１時間１６０円のようでした。

当日は、団体２組と一緒で、総勢９０人。混雑を心配しましたが、水中鑑賞室へは２回に分けて案内されたので、座る場所がないということはありませんでした。
海中の透明度は真ん中の「見えます」レベルで、これ以上透明度が低いと厳しいかなと思いました。コンパクトデジカメで写真を撮るのは、なかなか難しかったです。
ポイントにつくと、係員の方が餌をまくので、魚がたくさん集まってきました。鑑賞室よりも、船上からの方がはっきり見えました。

２歳の子供は、魚があまり見えなくても、船に乗れたことと、飛行機がよく見えたことで、大興奮でした。
最後にお土産のマグネットをもらってご機嫌でした。

所要時間はおよそ１時間で、空港から近いので、少しの空き時間に予定を組むことができます。気軽にアクティビティを楽しみたい方や、小さなお子様連れにはおススメです。

Easily experience the underwater world of Okinawa. 手軽に沖縄の海の中を体験

Reviewed by: まめこ

I was torn between sea walking and the glass boat, but I chose the glass boat because I heard I could see Okinawan fish from underwater rather than from above.

When we arrived at the terminal, we were on the same boat as two other groups, but we were given priority and allowed to enter the underwater room first, where we could enjoy the beautiful Okinawan sea without needing to change clothes!

The more I looked, the more I was moved, but I did get a little seasick, so I recommend those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before participating.

After 15 minutes of enjoying the sea breeze and the view of Naha City from the sea, we finally entered the underwater room. The underwater scenery was truly beautiful, and we were able to see many colorful fish. They were also fed, so a lot of fish gathered around us. We could see colorful coral reefs as well, and there were explanations about the fish and the coral reefs, allowing us to learn while having fun.

It's enjoyable for all ages, so I would like to take my parents as well. Additionally, the experience lasts about an hour, making it easy to participate and allowing for other activities as well. We also received a magnet as a souvenir, which was a lot of fun.

海底ウォーキングかグラスボートか迷いましたが、上からではなく海の中から沖縄の魚たちを見れると聞いてグラスボートに2名で利用しました。

ターミナルにつくと、２つの団体と同じ船でしたが、優先で先に通していただき、海中部屋にも先に見えやすいとこに通していただき着替えが必要ないまま、沖縄の綺麗な海を楽しませていただきました！

感動してみればみるほど、少し船酔いしてしまったので酔いやすいかたは酔い止めを飲んで参加がオススメです。

海風と海からの那覇市内の景色を楽しみながら走ること15分。いよいよ海中部屋へ入ります。
海の中は本当に綺麗で、いろいろなカラフルなお魚をたくさん見ることができました。
餌付け？もされていて、お魚がとてもたくさん集まってくれました。カラフルな珊瑚礁も見れて
魚の説明や珊瑚礁の説明などもあり勉強しながら楽しむことができました。
年齢問わず楽しめるので、両親なども連れていきたいと思います。
また、時間が約一時間と手軽に参加できるのも、他の体験もいろいろできるメリットと思います。
お土産にマグネットもいただきとても楽しめました。

I made a reservation so my mother, who can't swim, could see the underwater world. Unfortunately, the conditions weren't very good due to the weather, but it seems my mother was satisfied. She was very excited when fish gathered nearby! The visibility was 2 this time, but I want to try again next time!

泳げない母親に海の中を見てもらいたく予約しました。残念ながら天候の影響であまり良い状態ではありませんでしたが母親は満足してくれたみたいです。近くに魚が集まってきた時は大興奮でした！今回は透明度が2でしたが次回またリベンジしたいと思います！

First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: とよはる

This time, I boarded a boat to show my 2-year-old son the beautiful fish living in the waters of Okinawa. From other people's experiences, I learned that the water clarity is better when the day before was sunny, so we hurriedly boarded on the day we arrived in Okinawa. Unfortunately, perhaps due to the strong winds, the water clarity wasn't as great as I had hoped, but the crew of the Orca boat kindly fed the fish near the boat, allowing us to closely observe the tropical fish.

Although some rocking was expected, it wasn't enough to cause seasickness, and we enjoyed a pleasant cruise with a nice breeze, which made my 2-year-old son very happy. He was excitedly holding onto the Orca boat magnet we received, even after disembarking (laughs).

It's quite challenging to encounter the perfect day for a tour that is affected by the weather, but I believe it was a valuable experience that both adults and children can enjoy. Next time, I definitely want to take a plan that includes lunch on a nice weather day to fully enjoy Okinawa.

今回は、2歳の息子に綺麗な沖縄の海底に住むお魚を見せたく乗船しました。
他の方の体験談から、前日が快晴であった方が、海水の透明度がよいとの事だったので、バタバタしましたが、沖縄到着日に慌てて乗船。
残念ながら、風が強かった為か、海の透明度は凄くいいとは言えませんでしたが、オルカ号の船員さんが船の傍に撒餌をして下さり、南国のお魚達を間近でじっくり鑑賞する事が出来ました。
揺れも予想されていましたが、船酔いするほどではなく、心地よい風を感じるクルーズで、2歳の息子も大喜び。戴いたオルカ号のマグネットを握りしめながら、下船後も興奮してはしゃいでました（笑）
こういった、お天気に左右されるツアーで、最高に良い日に巡り合うのは、なかなか難しいですが、貴重な体験が出来、大人も子供も楽しめるプランだと思います。
今度は是非、お天気の良い日に、ランチ券付きのプランでゆったりと沖縄を満喫したいと思います。

那覇発ホエールウォッチング　揺れに強い大型船で出発！写真やホエールガイドプレゼント　船酔い軽減グッズレンタル付プランもあり＜那覇市内送迎／午後便当日予約可能＞

Captain, amazing! 船長さん、すごい！

Reviewed by: shige

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。
全く酔いのなかった私は、感動のホエールウォッチングでした。
