All Ages Underwater Sightseeing Cruise Ship Orca with Departure from Naha

Good to combine with lunch

Reviewed by: Soumaya ADDOU

I chose this tour since I can't ride ships for a long time. the time we spent below watching the fish was not that long but it was enough to enjoy them and take pictures. the crew even tried to throw food to attract fish who gathered around the ship.
I highly recommend to combine it with the buffet, the lunch at Nest hotel was so delicious especially the dessert and fruits section.

I want to come again. I'm satisfied. また来たい。満足です。

Reviewed by: ブロッサム

You can check the situation on the bulletin board on the day. Last time it was LEVEL-4 and I couldn't see anything at all, but this time it was 3. The lunch at Nest Hotel was delicious, and I recommend the ice cream dessert with chinsuko. I think it's a good thing that it's not from a famous ice cream company in Okinawa.

当日の様子を掲示板で確認、出来ます。前回はLEVEL-4で全く見られず、今回は3でした。またネストホテルのランチも美味しかったし、デザートのアイスはちんすこうがお勧めです。沖縄で有名なアイスクリームの会社ではないのが、逆に良かったと思います。

A 2-night, 3-day trip to Okinawa with lunch included is a great deal! 沖縄2泊3日 ランチ付きはお得!

Reviewed by: あさわた

I came to Okinawa for a 2-night, 3-day professional baseball camp. It's easy to plan since it's close to Naha Port. The lunch option is an additional 500 yen, which is quite a bargain. The water clarity was level 3, but it was clearer than I expected, so I enjoyed it. The boat hardly rocked, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness.

2泊3日プロ野球キャンプで沖縄に来ました。
那覇港と行きやすい場所で、プランを組みやすいです。
ランチ付きはプラス500円のため、かなりお得です。透明度はレベル3でしたが思っていたよりも見えたので楽しめました。
船もほぼ揺れませんでしたので、船酔いは心配いりませんでした。

Going to the beach even in winter? 冬でも海に?

Reviewed by: 名無し

It took about 15 minutes to move to the spot, and then we went to the viewing room at the bottom of the boat.

The water clarity is rated 3 out of 5. You can check this during the check-in before departure.

While the clarity wasn't very high and there weren't many fish to admire, I think it was sufficient for the participation fee. I recommend the option that includes lunch.

移動に15分程、スポットに到着してから船底の観賞室へ移動。

海の透明度が5段階のうち3番目。出港前の受付時に確認出来ます。

あまり透明度が高く無く、魚も見惚れる程は居ませんでしたが、参加料からすれば十分だと思います。ランチ付きがオススメですね。

The weather is important. お天気が大事。

Reviewed by: VELTRAファン

After about 20 minutes, we went out to sea and spent just under 15 minutes in the underwater basement, listening to the commentary on tape while enjoying the coral reefs and fish. On that day, the sea's visibility was moderate, and the boat's rocking was also moderate, but I think it would have been more enjoyable if the weather had been a bit better and the visibility higher.

約20分で沖に出て、水中の地下室にいるのは15分弱、テープで流れる解説を聞きながら、珊瑚礁や魚を鑑賞しました。
当日は、海の透明度が中程度、船の揺れも中程度とのことでしたが、もう少しお天気がよくて透明度が高いと楽しめたかな。

The weather was nice, and it was very pleasant to feel the breeze on the deck. The visibility in the sea was lower, but we could still see the coral reefs and schools of fish. The cleanliness on the ship was good, but there were quite a few people that day. Sitting on the middle deck had a stronger smell of diesel, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious.

Interesting 有趣

Reviewed by: weiwei yang

We happened to encounter a typhoon that had just passed, so the sea was quite murky, but we could still see the coral reefs on the seabed. Normally, the underwater scenery should be amazing. The hotel lunch we purchased was also very tasty. It was only a 5-minute drive from the port, so overall, it was a great experience. We'll bring our child back when she's a bit older.

剛好遇到颱風剛過,海水很濁,但是還是看得到海底的珊瑚礁岩,正常海底的景觀應該會很棒,搭配購買的飯店午餐也很好吃,離港邊很近開車5分鐘而已,整體而言是很棒的經驗,等小孩再大一點會再帶她來。

When the wind is strong, 風が強いと

Reviewed by: みなみ

I participated with my 5-year-old son! On the day we boarded the Orca, the wind was strong, so the water looked murky. There was an announcement before we got on the boat.

As we set off, the boat was fine, but when we stopped to see underwater and entered the lower room, the boat swayed more than I expected. We could see the fish, but my son had a serious expression and gave up halfway. I'm glad we were able to see some of the underwater world, but I want to try again on a clearer day! 😊

All Ages Underwater Sightseeing Cruise Ship Orca with Departure from Naha

Lots of fish and a nice ride

Reviewed by: Still Just Jerry

Naha Harbor is a very interesting place, with a lot of interesting buildings and ships. The boat was very comfortable and the crew very friendly. The underwater viewing area is inside the harbor, making it much smoother and more comfortable, but the variety of fish is astounding. The crew drops food and then moves over the area so that the fish swarm for you. A huge number of fish swarm for you. Hundreds of them. Very amusing to watch.

While there are no interesting underwater structures or tropical looking fish, it is still fun and was especially appreciated by the families with kids. They really enjoyed the antics of the attracted fish.

Extremely difficult to find the meeting venue

The cruise itself was ok and underwater coral reef is amazing.

It was rainy when I went on the cruise so didn't get to see much.

The worst part is the location of the meeting venue. The building was under construction and if you don't read Japanese, it's hard to find.

Don't expect English.

I signed up for this just two days ago after arriving in Okinawa. I participated with my two children, so there were four of us in total. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and while the view from the water was naturally stunning, I was also able to see the fish up close. It was a refreshing experience that made me forget the scorching heat outside. I highly recommend it.

The limited-time discount made it a great deal at 7,800 yen for my spouse and one child. I think the time spent underwater was about 15 to 20 minutes. Since it was in coastal waters, the visibility wasn't as good as I had hoped. I recommend it for families with small children.

Underwater sightseeing in Naha. 那覇で海中観光

Reviewed by: お姉様

I used the service last November. It wasn't a clear day, but we were able to depart, and since there were no waves, the boat didn't rock, allowing us to see a certain amount underwater. If the boat is not crowded, it's better to look out from the windows on both sides. Depending on the light, the color of the sea changes, and you can see different types of fish. I think I made the reservation the day before or two days before, hoping to join on a nice weather day.

The underwater scenery is beautiful, and there are new discoveries to be made. It's a reasonable experience with a diving sensation, and we also had lunch, making it an affordable and recommended sightseeing option.

昨年11月に利用致しました。快晴ではありませんでしたが、出発できましたし、波がなかった為、船が揺れませんでしたし、ある程度海中を見る事ができました。船が空いていれば、左右両側の窓から見た方が良いです。光の加減で海の色が違ったり、魚たちの種類が違ったりします。お天気の良い日を見計らって参加しようと、前日か前々日に予約したと思います。
海中は美しく、新しい発見があります。ダイビング感覚の体験とランチも頂けてリーズナブル、お手頃な観光でお薦めです。

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。

Dear Kero-yo,

Thank you very much for boarding the underwater sightseeing boat Orca.
The winter weather in Okinawa can be quite unpredictable, and there are days when the weather is very poor.
We regret that you were unable to enjoy the experience comfortably due to the rain and wind on that day.

However, the underwater scenery can be quite beautiful even on rainy days, as the water remains clear.

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.

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.

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。

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,
Shimabukuro, West Marine, 3/12

チュルッピー様

真冬のオルカ号のご感想、詳細を丁寧にいただきましてありがとうございます。
自然を相手に毎日運航しておりますが、正直冬は天候が荒れる日も多くなかなかベストコンディションで観賞いただける日が少ないのも正直なところです。
お電話いただきましたら、船からの情報をすぐにお伝えできます。
オルカ号はノーチャージで変更も承ります。

チュルッピー様が、海上状況の良い日にまたご乗船いただけるご機会があること、お待ち申し上げております。

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♪

Dear Miina,

Thank you very much for boarding the underwater sightseeing boat Orca. We are also very pleased to hear that your child enjoyed the experience! Since we are close to Naha Airport, you can see airplanes during the cruise, and I believe you can enjoy the scenery outside in addition to the underwater sightseeing.

We hope you can join us again when the underwater visibility is good. We look forward to your next opportunity to sail with us.

みぃな様

この度は水中観光船オルカ号にご乗船いただきまして誠にありがとうございました。
また、当日はお子様にも楽しんでいただけたご様子で、とてもうれしく存じます☆
那覇空港からも近く運航中に飛行機が見れたり、水中観光以外も外の景色を楽しんでいただけるかと思います。

次回はまた海中視界レベルの良い時にご乗船できるよう願っております☆
またのご機会お待ち申し上げております。

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 !

Underwater watching on a cruise. クルーズで海底ウォッチング

Reviewed by: MASAKO N

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。
クルージングの後は、ホテルでランチバイキング。港からもホテルが近く、料理も美味しかったです。

Dear Ms. Masako,

Thank you very much for boarding the underwater sightseeing vessel Orca.

Our captain works hard every day to find the best viewing points while interacting with nature. It was great that there wasn't much rocking on the day of your trip.

The hotel lunch package is very reasonably priced and has received positive feedback. If you have the opportunity to visit Okinawa again, we look forward to your reservation for another trip.

Best regards,

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。

Dear Junko Ishikawa,

Thank you for boarding the underwater sightseeing boat, Orca.

I’m glad to hear that the weather was nice on the day of your visit. The Orca allows you to enjoy a leisurely cruise, making the journey to the fish viewing points enjoyable without getting bored. Currently, our explanations are only available in Japanese, but we hope to improve this in the future so that international guests can also enjoy the experience.

You may have been surprised by the large portions at the nearby diner! We hope you enjoyed the beauty of Okinawa's sea and its cuisine, and we sincerely look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Okinawa.

Best regards,

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。

Dear Poporo Workshop,

Thank you for boarding the Orca.

Regarding the underwater conditions, they can be influenced by the weather and tidal currents from the previous day. Although it was sunny, it seems that the underwater visibility was somewhat limited. However, the Orca offers not only fish viewing but also a pleasant cruising experience to the points of interest, so the cruising part must have been perfect weather.

We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Okinawa.

Best regards,

海中の状況ですが、前日の天候状況や潮の流れによって左右されますので、
晴天でしたが少し見えずらい海中状況だったご様子ですね。

クルージングの方は最高の日和だったのではないでしょうか(^_^.)

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。
