- The waves were calm, and I felt comfortable without any seasickness. I wore a raincoat because I was worried about the weather, but it also helped keep me warm.
- I regret not being able to see the jumps like in the photos, but I was satisfied that I could clearly see the large tail fin.
・波も穏やかで、船酔いもなく快適でした。天気が心配なためカッパを着ていきましたが、防寒対策にもなりました。
・写真のようなジャンプが見れず心残りでしたが、大きな尾びれはしっかり目に焼き付けることができ、満足しています。

I was very satisfied to see the jump. The staff member's talk was also fun! I learned that there are whales near Naha. I resolved to be more mindful about not polluting the water.
ジャンプもみられて大満足です。係のお兄さんのトークも楽しかった!那覇の近くでくじらがいるんですね。水を汚さないようにしようと心新たにおもいました。

In mid-March, I participated with my family of four (my spouse, a 3-year-old, and a 0-year-old). On the way there, my wife and child got seasick due to the unexpectedly high waves and rocking of the boat, but we were able to refresh both our minds and bodies during our break and beach stroll on Tokashiki Island. The beach was beautiful and felt great.
During the whale watching, with the guidance of our guide and captain, we were able to see whales multiple times! (They mentioned that there were more sightings than usual.) It was an exhilarating moment that made us forget about the seasickness.
I recommend that those who are not good with vehicles or have little experience on small boats take motion sickness medication in advance.
3月中旬に家族4名(夫婦+3歳・0歳)で参加しました。
往路では想定以上の波の高さ・揺れに妻と子が船酔いしてしまいましたが、渡嘉敷島での休憩兼ビーチ散策で心も体もリフレッシュできました。ビーチは綺麗で気持ちよかったです。
ホエールウォッチングではガイドさん・船長さんの案内の元、何度もクジラの姿を見ることができました!(いつもより多めにでてきてくれたとのこと)
船酔いも忘れて大興奮のひと時でした。
乗り物が苦手な方、小型船の経験が少ない方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。

I was worried because the weather hadn't been great until the day before, but we set sail safely. Just as advertised, the catamaran didn't rock too much, and we arrived at the viewing spot without any issues. We encountered a mother and baby whale; we could clearly see the baby whale spouting and the mother whale's impressive dive with her tail fin. It was really wonderful.
前日まであまりお天気が良くなかったので心配でしたが無事に出航。宣伝文句通りカタマランの船体はあまり大きな揺れはなく無事にご対面スポットに到着。くじらの親子に遭遇 赤ちゃんくじらの潮吹きとお母さん⁈くじらの豪快なダイブでの尾鰭がしっかり見えました。とても良かったです

Fortunately, I was able to meet a lot of people. It was a bit far, but I was able to see a lot.
I recommend filming videos, but if you're not very skilled with a camera, it's better to leave it to the professionals and focus on enjoying the experience.
I thought I would see more during the winter, but I heard that in March, towards the end of the season, you can encounter quite a bit.
It's essential to have significant measures against seasickness. Just taking motion sickness medication is not enough, and I felt sorry for my son who came with me. I think the adults managed their own measures, but it was quite chaotic.
However, despite that discomfort, I'm glad I was able to see it!
幸いなことに、たくさん出会えることができました。少し遠かったのは残念でしたが、いっぱい見れました。
動画撮影はおすすめですが、カメラは余程の腕がない方は、もうプロにお任せして、見ることに専念する方が良いです(^^)v
冬の時期の方が見れるかと思いましたが、シーズン終わりかけの3月は結構遭遇できるとのことです。
かなりかなりの船酔い対策は必須です。酔い止めだけでは難しく、一緒に行った息子にはかわいそうなことをしました。大人の方もそれなりに対策されたと思いますが、バタバタと。。
ただ、その苦痛があっても見れて良かったです!!

I've visited Okinawa many times, but I had never experienced this before, so this time I signed up for this tour with hotel pick-up in Naha City!
I was worried because it was raining in the afternoon, but by the time we set sail, it was beautifully sunny, with no wind and calm waves, so I had no worries about seasickness at all!
In the first half of the tour, we didn't see any whales at all, and just when I was starting to give up, we spotted a blow (spout) in the distance, and thanks to the captain chasing it at full speed, we were able to see it up close!
I didn't get to see it jump dramatically, but just encountering it was moving!
According to the guide, we were able to see six whales. They all looked the same to me, but I learned that the patterns on their tails are different!
It was a great experience!
何度も訪れている沖縄
一度も体験したことがなかったので、今回那覇市内ホテル送迎付きでこちらのツアーに申し込みしました!
午後便で、雨が降ったりで心配でしたが、出航時には見事に晴れて、風もなく波も穏やかで、船酔いの心配は全くありませんでした!
ツアー前半は全くクジラの姿がなく、少し諦めてた矢先、ブロー(潮吹き)が遠くの方で見えて、船長が全速力で追いかけてくれたおかげで、近くで見ることが出来ました!
豪快にジャンプする姿は見れませんでしたが、遭遇出来ただけでも感動しました!
ガイドさん曰く、6頭ものクジラに会えたそう
私には全てが同じに見えましたが、尾びれの模様が違うことを教えてくれました!
いい経験になりました!

It took about an hour to reach offshore, and we spotted a whale. On this day, around 11 boats gathered for the observation. Each boat seemed to keep a distance while chasing the humpback whales, and perhaps due to the blue whales, we had to search for their surfacing spots, which felt like they were about 200 to 300 meters away from the boats. We were able to see breaching.
When I participated last January, there was a mother and calf whale, so their diving time was shorter, and at times we were as close as 10 meters, which felt much closer.
Since there were many international guests on board, I think it would have been more enjoyable if there had been explanations about the whales. (On another boat, there was a lecture, and they used an underwater microphone to listen to their calls, but I couldn't hear it...)
沖合まで約1時間掛けて、クジラ発見でした。
この日は11隻程の船が集結しての観察となりました。どの船も間隔を空けてザトウクジラを追いかける感じでしたし、オスクジラの為か、潜水すると浮上する場所を探すこととなり、船からは200〜300m離れたところにいた感じでした。ブリーチングが見れました。
前回1月に参加した時は、親子クジラだったので潜水時間も短く、10m程の距離の時もあったので遠かったです。
海外の方たちが多く乗船されていた為なのか、クジラについての説明があるともっと楽しめたと思います。(別船ではレクチャーがあり、水中マイクを入れて鳴き声を聞く様なこともありました。でも聴けなかったですけど、、、。)

It can't be helped.
Since it's nature, it can't be helped...
However, the tour only allowed us to see a few small blows and the backs of the whales a couple of times.
This was my third whale watching experience, but we only saw their backs this time.
What was even more disappointing was that there were no explanations about the whales' ecology or their calls during the trip.
Since it was a special tour, I really wanted some explanations.
But it was nice that we were allowed to sit across the railing at the bow of the boat when we reached the viewing point (^ - ^)
仕方ない。
自然が相手だから仕方ない…
でも小さめブローが数回、背中が数回見えただけのツアーになりました。
今回で3回目のホエールウォッチングでしたが、背中だけは今回だけでした。
でも、それより残念だったのは道中、鯨についての生態や泣き声等、なーんの説明もなかったこと。
折角のツアーなんだから、説明欲しかったな。
だけど、見えるポイントに着く頃になったら船首で柵を跨いで座らせてもらえたのは良かったけどね(^-^)

On the day of the trip, it was sunny and the waves looked calm, but once we set sail, the boat rocked quite a bit. We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but many others seemed to be struggling with seasickness, and the staff appeared to be busy helping them. About two-thirds of the passengers were foreigners. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any whales, which made half of our precious trip feel wasted. It seems that the chances of encountering them are quite low in late December. In February, however, they say you can see them almost every day. Although the internet advertised a high probability of sightings, it didn't specify the timing, so we were unaware. We received a re-boarding ticket, but it's difficult for travelers to return during that period.
当日は晴れて波も穏やかに見えましたが、出港すると船はかなり揺れました。
私達は酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、かなりの方は酔って辛そうでスタッフの方々もお世話に追われている感じでした。
客層は3分の2位が外国の方でした。
残念なことにクジラには会えず、貴重な旅行の半日無駄になってしまいました( ; ; )
12月下旬では遭遇確率はかなり低いらしいです。
2月になればほとんど毎日見られるとのこと。
ネットに高確率で遭遇と謳ってあっても時期が記載されてないのでわかりませんでした。
再乗船券をいただきましたが、旅行者がその期間に再訪するのは難しいです。

On the day of the trip, there were only seven participants, which may be why we set sail on a small boat. We headed out at quite a speed towards the open sea. I had no issues at all, but my family started feeling seasick early on and had a tough time.
As for the whales, I was able to see them several times, but unfortunately, my family didn't see any at all. I definitely recommend participating during the season when you can board a larger cruise.
当日は、7名の参加と少ない参加者となったためか、小さい船での出航となりました。かなりの沖合目指し猛スピードでした。私は全然問題なかったですが、船酔いが前半から始まり、辛い思いを家族はしてました。
肝心のクジラは、私は何度か見れましたが、残念ながら家族は全然見てませんでした。やはり、大型クルーズに乗れる時期の参加をお勧めします。

We gather at Chatan Fishing Port and head to the point by cruiser. They also sell drink-type motion sickness remedies at the reception, so if you forgot yours, you can purchase it here.
We arrive at the point in about an hour. There are many similar cruise ships docked, so it's easy to recognize where we are. At first, we spot a spout from a distance and then get closer. We approached within a meter, and from there, we saw it multiple times. We witnessed the spout and the whale coming up, doing a twist before diving back down several times. Although it wasn't very large, it was quite impressive!
I ended up feeling seasick, but it became a great memory. Even after taking motion sickness medicine, I still got seasick.
北谷漁港に集合してクルーザーでポイントまで向かいます。
受付時にドリンクタイプの酔い止めも販売していますので、忘れた方はここでも購入可能
1時間ほどでポイントに到着。同じようなクルーズ船がたくさん停まっていますのでここだなとわかります。
初めは遠くで潮吹きを発見してその後近くまで行きます
1匹近くまで寄っていきここからは何度も見えました。潮吹きもですし頭を出して1回転ひねってまた入っていく姿を何度も見ました。大きくはなかったですがかなりの迫力!

In mid-March, I participated with my friend and my one-year-old son. The tour staff were all very cheerful and kind, and they were considerate of my son. Although it was our first time on a boat, we felt very safe and comfortable. We encountered whales four times in total, and on two occasions, we were able to see them right in front of us as they spouted water and raised their tails before diving, which was an overwhelming and thrilling experience. It was truly a precious experience, and I was able to feel the greatness of nature. While waiting for the whales to appear, we were taught various facts about them, which was very educational. During the waiting time, we were able to relax on the boat, enjoying the vast ocean and the scenery, which provided a wonderful escape from everyday life. For those who are prone to seasickness or lack confidence, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. It would be very unfortunate if such an emotional and thrilling experience turned into a time of discomfort, so even if you think you'll be fine, it might be a good idea to take the medication as a precaution.
3月中旬に友人と1歳になる息子と参加しました。
ツアーのスタッフさんは皆様とても明るく優しく息子の事にも気を遣ってくれました。そのためはじめての船でしたがとても安心して過ごすことができました。クジラには計4回遭遇できましてそのうち2回はほんとに目の前で潮吹き尻尾上げて潜っていく姿を見ることができ感動と感激の嵐でした。本当に貴重な体験をすることができやっぱり自然の素晴らしさと言うものを感じることができました。またクジラが出てくる間などはいろいろなクジラに関する知識を教えてくださりとても勉強になりました。クジラが出てくる間の待ち時間も船の上で大海原で原理にメールしまなどを見ながらまったりと過ごすことができ非日常な時間を過ごすことができました。船酔いをされる方またちょっと自信がない方は酔い止めを飲まれることをおすすめしますせっかくの感動感激な体験が気持ち悪い時間となってしまうのはとても残念に思いますのでぜひ自分は大丈夫だと思っても保険と思って酔い止めを飲んでおいていただくけると良いんじゃないかと思います。

The day before, the crew said they couldn't see anything, but it was amazing to see whales swimming right next to us. I was busy with my video camera, capturing every moment.
Even though they were so close, the whales swam gracefully without harming the boat, which was truly moving. There were some party-goers in the group who took off their masks and were making noise, but they were properly reminded to behave, which was a relief. The kids were almost all feeling seasick.
If you are prone to motion sickness, make sure to take medication; the boat does sway quite a bit.
前日は見えなかったと船の人が言ってたのが嘘みたいにクジラがすぐそばで泳いでいて、ビデオ、カメラ、ビデオ、カメラと大忙し。
こんなに近くにいるのに、船に害を与えずに優雅に泳いでいて感動しました。
団体様のパーリーピーポーな方々がマスクを外して騒いでいましたが、きちんと注意をしていたので一安心。子供達がほぼ船酔いしていました。
乗り物酔いする方必ず酔い止め服用しないとダメです。結構船揺れますよ。
Dear Kaninhen,
Thank you very much for participating in our whale watching tour. We also appreciate your sharing of your experience!
We are glad that you were able to see whales on the day of the tour! Since they are wild animals, there are days when sightings may not occur.
If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to join us again. Thank you once again for your participation.
Sincerely,
The staff at Cerulean Blue

Even though I didn't get to see any whales, I joined the cruise hoping to enjoy it. However, we were confined to fixed seats inside the boat for nearly three hours without standing up except for using the restroom. Perhaps due to the cold, the interior was closed off with a vinyl windbreak, and we returned to Naha without ever seeing the ocean from the deck. It felt like torture for those three hours. Even if we couldn't see any whales, I wished they would have stopped the boat for a break so we could stretch our bodies or get some fresh air on deck. I think they should consider having a guide provide attractions inside the boat like on a bus tour, show videos, or suggest ways to prevent seasickness. If everyone just stays silent on the boat, they will all get seasick. We were fine because we took motion sickness medication, but everyone else seemed to be struggling.
クジラを見られなくても、クルーズを楽しむつもりで参加しましたが、船内は固定席で、トイレ以外立ち上がることもなく、寒さのためかビニールの風除けのシートで閉じられた船内に3時間近く拘束され、途中デッキから海原を見ることもなく、那覇に帰港しました。拷問のような3時間でした。クジラが見られなくても、船をとめて休憩し、身体のストレッチをしたり、新鮮な空気を吸いにデッキに出して欲しかった。バス旅行のように中でガイドさんがアトラクションをするとか、映像を流すとか、酔い止めの方法を考えてあげるべきではないかとおもいます。ずっと、だまって船に乗っていれば皆んな船酔いするよね。私たちは酔い止めの薬を飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、みんな大変そうでした。
Dear Ocean-Loving Family,
Thank you for choosing our shop from among the many marine shops available.
During the whale watching tour with NEWS, we ask guests to remain seated while the boat is in motion to prevent falls due to sudden movements. Depending on the wind and wave conditions, we usually stop the boat for a break and to adjust the windbreak sheets during the tour. However, on the day of your visit, we were unable to accommodate due to the wave conditions, and we apologize for not providing sufficient information regarding this matter. We will take your feedback regarding measures for seasickness in case of long periods without spotting whales or poor weather into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for your valuable input.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back, Ocean-Loving Family. Thank you for your review.

この度は、数あるマリンショップの中から当店を選んでいただきありがとうございます。
NEWSのホエールウォッチングでは、急な揺れによる転倒を防ぐため、走行中は着席でご案内しております。
風や波の状況にもよりますが、通常ですとツアー中は、船を停めての気分転換や風よけのシートの開閉を行っております。
しかしながら当日は、波がある状況で対応ができず、また、その点に関してのご案内が十分にできておらず申し訳ありませんでした。
長い時間クジラが見つからない場合や天候が良くない場合の船酔いなどの対策に関しましては、今後の課題とさせていただきます。貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。
海大好き家族様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。

Since it was late December, I thought there was a high chance I wouldn't encounter any whales, but I decided to sign up since I was in Okinawa.
On the day of the trip, I expected only a few participants due to the time of year, but around 20 people joined. At the temporary reception, thorough infection prevention measures (such as hand sanitizer and mask-wearing) were in place, and motion sickness medication was also available for purchase.
We put on life jackets and set sail as planned. The pre-departure explanations were thorough. The boat was large, allowing us to maintain a comfortable distance from each other, and it felt like there was little rocking.
After about 30 minutes of sailing, when we arrived at the site, we saw several other boats (about five or six) anchored there. I was filled with a mix of silence and tension, wondering if we would really see whales in such a vast ocean. Suddenly, a staff member shouted, "Behind you!" When I turned around, I was thrilled to see three or four whales showing their dorsal fins and breathing. It was an emotional moment. They were close enough to see with the naked eye, without binoculars.
After the whales disappeared, the boat moved forward and stopped again. Then, three or four whales surfaced for air once more. I thought the captain's experience and incredible skill allowed us to anticipate where the whales would go and anchor there. We even had a brief moment where a whale surfaced right in front of us. The best part was when three whales swam just below the surface, and our boat was able to keep pace, allowing us to observe them up close. Encountering whales multiple times in such a vast ocean and in nature was an amazing experience.
時期的に12月下旬だったので、鯨とは出会えないのではない確率が高いかもと思っていましたが、せっかく沖縄に来たのだからと思い申し込みました。
当日は、12月下旬だったので数人程度の参加かなと思っていましたが20人程度が参加していました。臨時に設けられた受付では、しっかりと感染予防対策(消毒液配置、マスク着用など)も取られ、かつ、酔い止め対策としての薬も売られていました。
ライフジャケットを着用し、予定どおり出航しました。現場に着くまでの事前説明なども丁寧でした。船は大型船だったので隣人とも適当な距離を保って座ることができ、揺れも少なかったように感じました。
出港して30分ほど航行し、洋上の現場について船が止まると、他社の船(5、6隻)停泊していました。こんな広い海のところにピンポイントで停泊して本当に鯨を見られるかと思い、静寂とともに緊張感で一杯でした。すると、突然スタッフの方が「後ろ!!」と言いました。後ろを振り返ると、3,4匹のクジラが背びれを見せつつ、潮を吹いて呼吸をしている姿に出会えました。感動です。双眼鏡なしで肉眼で見える距離にいました。そして、鯨が見えなくなってから、船は前に進みまた停まりました。すると、また鯨が3、4頭で息継ぎで海面に出てきました。鯨の行き先を先回りをして停泊していたのは、船長の経験とすごい技術がなせる業ではないかと思いました。そして、一瞬ですが、鯨が頭を出して飛び出てくる場面にも遭遇できました。一番良かったのは、鯨が3頭で海面すれすれを泳いでいたときに、船も並走して、その様子をまじかに観察できたところです。こんなにも広い海で、自然の中で鯨に何度も出会えたのは最高の気分でした。
Dear Counselor,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We also appreciate your valuable feedback.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour! It’s wonderful that you were able to see the whales up close. Encountering them in the ocean is truly an awe-inspiring experience!

I participated on January 10, slightly earlier than peak season. I was able to see the whales jump about six times, which was amazing. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to see the whales from a closer distance.
The staff's explanation about the signs of the whales appearing was also great. The whales jump in an instant and then dive back into the sea, so you can't afford to miss it. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
ピークよりやや早目の1月10日に参加しました。
クジラのジャンプが6回ほど見れて最高でした。
欲を言えば、もう少し近い距離からクジラを見たかったです。
スタッフさんのクジラが出てくる前触れの解説も良かったです。クジラは一瞬でジャンプしてまた海の中に入っていってしまうので見逃しては駄目だからです。
良い思い出をありがとうございました。
Dear Mizuho,
Thank you for choosing our shop from among the many marine shops available.
I have heard from our staff that on January 10th, you were able to spot active whales. It's not always possible to see them jump, so being able to see it six times suggests that the whales were in a good mood.
Regarding your concern about the distance, while whales may sometimes approach us, we adhere to the rules set by the Southern Japan Whale Association to avoid getting too close to them, considering their well-being. We appreciate your understanding.
We hope you will come back to Okinawa to search for whales that may come closer.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.
Thank you for your review.

この度は、数あるマリンショップ の中から当店を選んでいただきありがとうございます。
ご参加いただきました1月10 日は、活発なクジラを見つけられたとスタッフから聞いております。
ジャンプを見られないこともある中、6回も見ることができたということで、クジラ も機嫌がよかったのだと思います。
ご指摘いただきました、距離に関してですが、クジラから近寄ってきてくれる場合もありますが、所属する中南部ホエール協会のルールによりクジラへの影響を考えて近づきすぎないようにしております。ご理解いただけましたら幸いです。
また沖縄にお越しの際は、近寄ってくれるクジラを探しにお越しください。
みずほ様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。

It can't be helped since they are wild creatures, but I was disappointed that I couldn't spot any whales. There was a distribution of re-boarding tickets, but I didn't get one since I couldn't go during my stay. The staff were bright and efficient, which was great.
野生の生き物なので仕方ないのですが、くじらを発見できず残念でした。再乗船券の配布もありましたが、滞在期間中には行けなかったので貰いませんでした。
スタッフの方の対応は明るくてきぱきしていて良かったです。

I couldn't see it in the morning, but I was able to see it! It was moving. It felt like we could only get as close as 30 meters. We couldn't get right next to it by boat. The total boat trip was 4 hours, so it was tiring. I went with three kids, and on the way back, everyone was asleep. Since the fatigue carries over to the next day, it might be better not to schedule anything for the following day. Everyone was kind and it was fun. We also got a lot of information about the whales. I'm glad I went!
午前中は見れなかったらしいのですが、
見れました!感動です。
30m先までしか近づけない感じでした。
船で隣まで近づくってことはないです。
合計4時間の船旅なので、疲れます。
子供3人と行きましたが、帰りは全員寝てました。
次の日も疲れ引きずるので次の日は予定を入れない方がいいかもしれないです。
みなさん親切で楽しいです。クジラの情報もたくさん得られます。行って良かった!
Dear Tina,
Thank you very much for choosing the NEWS whale watching tour among many other options.
We are delighted to hear that you were able to see the whales and enjoy the ecological guide about them during the tour.
Regarding the duration of the tour, please note that it may conclude in about three hours depending on the time it takes to spot the whales. We will do our best to ensure you have a comfortable experience while on board.
As for the distance from the whales, we have a self-imposed rule to avoid getting too close to minimize their stress. However, there are times when the whales come closer to us, so we hope you will visit Okinawa again to meet those whales.
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you for your review.

この度は、数あるお店の中からNEWSのホエールウォッチングツアーを選んでいただき誠にありがとうございます。
ツアーでは、クジラを無事観ることができ、クジラの生態ガイドも楽しんで頂いたようで何よりです。
乗船時間ですが、クジラの発見時間次第では、3時間ほどでツアーが終了することもございます。
乗船時、快適にお過ごしいただけるように努めてまいります。
またクジラとの距離ですが、クジラのストレスにもなる為、自主ルールで接近しすぎないようにしております。
クジラから近寄ってきてくれる時もあるので、そんなクジラに会いにまた沖縄にお越しくださいませ。
スタッフ一同、またのお越しをお待ちしております。
