All Reviews for Cruises

In January, I visited Ishigaki Island for the first time.
Kabira Bay had incredibly beautiful, clear waters.
I could see all the way to the bottom of the sea, and I felt that the cleanliness was due to the cooperation of everyone in taking their trash home.
In the photo, I discovered a sea turtle, which is said to be a lucky encounter! On its shell, there was surprisingly a fish! It was a rare experience with two strokes of luck combined.

1月に初めて石垣島観光をしました。
川平湾は、とても海が綺麗で、透き通っていました。
海の底までくっきりと見ることが出来、日頃からゴミの持ち帰りなど協力があっての綺麗さだと感じました。
写真は、出会えるとラッキーと言われているウミガメを発見！甲羅の上には、まさかの魚が！2つのラッキーが重なった貴重な体験でした。

Since the whale watching starts in December, I had mixed expectations, but I was able to see a mother and baby whale up close. The guide was also very dedicated in helping us spot the whales. It turned out to be a very memorable activity.

ホエールウォッチが始まる12月ということで期待半分だったのですが、親子のクジラを間近で見ることができました。案内のお姉さんも一生懸命クジラを探してくれて助かりました。とても思い出に残るアクティビティーになりました。

The coral reefs and schools of fish were clearly visible, creating a magical landscape. The timing was just right, and I was able to take quite a few photos. The staff's service was also good. Since the boat didn't rock, I thought it would be great if there were plans for whale watching and similar activities with this boat, and I would definitely like to take advantage of that next time.

サンゴ礁や魚の群れがよく見えて幻想的な風景でした。時間もちょうどよく写真もけっこう撮れました。スタッフの方の対応もよかったです。船も揺れなかったのでこの船でホエールウォッチングなどもできるようなプランがあるとぜひ今度も活用したいと思いました。

I felt extremely seasick for three hours and threw up about five times... I think I saw a whale in the distance, but it was small and only for a moment, so I couldn't take a picture.

船酔いが激しく3時間ずっと気持ち悪く、5回くらい吐きました...
クジラは遠くの方で見えた気がしましたが小さめで一瞬だったので写真も撮れませんでした。

It was a day with high waves that caused the morning flight to be canceled, and the ride there felt especially like a thrilling amusement park attraction, with plenty of splashes. However, thanks to the guidance of the veteran crew, we were able to encounter a whale beautifully. We patiently waited for the whale to come up to the surface, and when we finally saw its back and tail, I was completely thrilled. It was wonderful.

午前の便が欠航になるような波の高い日で、行きは特に絶叫系の乗り物のようで波も浴び放題でしたが、ベテランクルーのみなさんの案内で見事にくじらに遭遇できました。くじらが水面まで上がってくるのをじっと待って、背中や尾びれが見えた時はすっかり興奮してしまいました。良かったです。

I was impressed by the beauty of the water in Kabira Bay even before getting on the boat! I was worried because I tend to get motion sickness, but maybe because of the beauty of the sea, I was totally fine! I was also able to encounter sea turtles, which was a lot of fun! I definitely want to participate again with my grandchildren!

ボートに乗る前から川平湾の水の綺麗さに感激！乗り物酔いをしやすいので心配でしたが海の綺麗さのせいかぜんぜん大丈夫でした！ウミガメにも遭遇する事ができてとても楽しかったです！是非孫たちとまた一緒に参加したいです！

I was worried because it rained in the morning the day before, but it turned out to be surprisingly beautiful. I could see the fish well too. I didn't feel sick at all.

前の日から朝も雨で心配でしたが、意外と綺麗に見えて良かったです。お魚も良く見えました。全然酔いませんでしたよ。

The explanations of various corals and fish were easy to understand and enjoyable. It was amazing to see the large sea turtles too!! I had a great time!

色々な珊瑚の説明や、魚の説明が分かりやすく楽しかったです。大きな海亀も見られて最高でした！！すごく楽しかったです！

Due to the strong winds, we couldn't participate in any activities in the water, but I made a reservation with the desire to enjoy the sea of Okinawa! There are two highlights I would recommend!

The first is the beautiful views from the boat. The scenery from the cruise ship while moving to the underwater watching spot (the sea, surrounding boats, airplanes, etc.) was stunning!

The second highlight is the underwater watching experience. Although the day of our visit was not ideal for seeing fish (rated 2 out of 5 for visibility), we were still able to see various fish and corals up close.

I recommend this for those who don't want to go into the sea but still want to feel connected to it!

風が強いので、海に入るアクティビティはできないが、沖縄の海を楽しみたい！という気持ちで予約しました。
おすすめポイントは2つ！
１つは海上の景色を楽しめること。
クルーズ船で海底ウォッチングする場所まで移動する間の船上からの景色(海、周りの船、飛行機等)がとても綺麗でした！
２つ目は海底ウォッチング。
体験日は魚が見えずらい日(5段階中2番目に見えない)ということでしたが、色んな魚やサンゴを間近で見ることができました。
海には入りたくないけど、海を感じたい方におすすめです！

I was able to see sea turtles and various fish. If you keep looking down the whole time, you might get seasick, so I recommend enjoying the view outside as well. There was some rocking due to the typhoon, but it was a very enjoyable time!

海亀やいろんな魚を見ることができました。
ずっと下を向いてると酔ってしまうので外の景色も楽しみながら見ることをオススメします。
台風の関係で揺れたりもしたけどとても楽しい時間でした！！

I was able to view rare corals and beautiful fish from the boat. Fortunately, I also got to see a sea turtle, which made for a wonderful experience.

The captain has a perfect grasp of where everything is, and his explanations are fluent, making the time fly by. I would definitely like to board again.

珍しいサンゴやきれいな魚たちをボートから眺めることができました。
運良くウミガメも見ることができて素晴らしい体験になりました。

船長さんがどこになにがあるか完璧に把握されているので、
解説も流暢で時間があっという間に感じます。
またぜひ乗船してみたいです。

The weather was great. The water clarity was rated as the second worst on a scale of five, but the distance from the window to the seabed was short, allowing us to see the corals and the fish swimming clearly. I didn't expect to see so many fish swimming around. I was glad to see that the sea was clean and free of trash.

お天気も良く、最高でした。
海水の透明度は5段階のうち、悪い方から2番目でしたが、窓から海底までの距離が短く、サンゴも魚の泳ぐ様子もよく見えました。あんなにたくさんの魚が泳いでいるとは思っていませんでした。見ていて、ゴミなどもなく綺麗な海で良かったと思いました。

Since there were many people, I made a reservation in advance here.

The parking lot was right in front of the reception, so it was easy to find.

Once I arrived at the reception, I was guided smoothly, and it was close to the boarding area, so I felt it was a good choice to use this service.

I think there was probably a discount compared to buying normally at the reception.

The underwater view from the glass-bottom boat was beautiful. During the cruise, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle and a rainbow.

人数が多かったのでこちらで事前に予約しました。

駐車場も受付の目の前なので分かりやすかったです。

受付に着いてからスムーズに案内していただき、乗り場までも近いので利用してよかったと思いました。

おそらく受付で普通に買うより割引が効いていたのかなと。

グラスボートで見る海の中もキレイでした。
遊覧中、ウミガメと虹が見れたのでラッキーでした。

I participated on October 17. The weather was nice that day, and since it was the first boat of the morning, I thought I would surely be able to see the underwater scenery beautifully. However, the reception board indicated that visibility for the day was rated as the second lowest on a five-point scale.

It mentioned that the boat would sway a bit, but once we set sail, it turned out to be a pleasant cruise with a nice breeze. When we arrived at the point where we could see the fish, the staff guided us to the bottom of the boat where we could sit and gaze at the underwater world. They scattered some feed, which attracted a lot of fish, allowing us to see them clearly.

The fish swimming among the corals were clearly visible, and I think this is an activity that can be enjoyed even by those who cannot dive or snorkel.

10/17参加しました。当日はお天気も良く朝一番の船だからきっと綺麗に海中を見ることが出来るだろうと思って行きましたが、受付のボードに本日の見え方は5段階の下から2番目良く見えないと書いてありました。
船めまあまあ揺れると書いてありましたが、いざ出航して見ると風を切って気持ちのいいクルーズでした。
魚が見えるポイントに着くと係の人が海中が見える船底に案内してくれて座りながら海の中を眺めるようになっていました。エサを撒いてくれてるのか沢山の魚が集まりしっかりと見る事が出来ました。
珊瑚の間を泳ぐ魚達がはっきりみえて、ダイビングやシュノーケリングが出来ない人にも楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。

I arrived earlier than my reservation time, but they accommodated me and let me board earlier. It was great to see the underwater scenery in the ocean. There were also many sea turtles. The boat swayed a bit, but my child was able to enjoy the experience without any issues.

予約の時間より早く着きましたが、繰り上げて早い時間に乗せてくれました。沖の海中が見れてよかったです。ウミガメも沢山いました。
船は少し揺れますが、子供も問題なく過ごせました。

There were several families and groups participating, and it felt like there was one staff member for every two families. They patiently taught us how to attach the fins.

Our family, with a 5-year-old and an 8-year-old, was snorkeling for the first time, and the explanation on how to wear the masks was very thorough. Even my timid eldest son felt reassured and decided to try the goggle type instead of the full-face mask we brought. My younger son found it a bit difficult, so he used the full-face type we brought.

Once we were in the sea, there were floatation rings to hold onto when we got tired, which made snorkeling very comfortable. Additionally, the guide who accompanied our family kindly encouraged the children, allowing them to swim with confidence. The underwater scenery was incredibly beautiful, making us feel like we were in an aquarium. It was the best! The children were so moved by the underwater world they saw while snorkeling that they ranked it as their top memory from our trip to Ishigaki Island.

After arriving at the Phantom Island, I got a bit seasick while snorkeling and couldn't move much, but the guide took care of the children and played with them, helping them search for shells, which was a huge relief.

We also had many wonderful photos taken, and I immediately printed and displayed them! They even filmed us swimming from below, which is my favorite part (^^).

On the way back on the boat, we were given recommendations for delicious places to eat taco rice, hamburgers, and soba, and when we actually went, they were incredibly tasty!!

I would love to participate in this tour again; it was truly exceptional. Thank you!

何組か参加している家族やグループがありましたが、2家族に1人くらいの感じでスタッフさんが付いてくれて、フィンの付け方から丁寧に教えてくれました。

我が家は5歳と8歳の子連れで初シュノーケリングでしたが、マスクの付け方の説明もとても丁寧で臆病な長男も、持参したフルフェイスのマスクではなく、ゴーグルタイプのでやってみる！と安心して挑戦できました。次男はまだ難しかったので持参のフルフェイスタイプを使用しました。

海に出てからは、疲れたときなど掴まれる浮き輪があったので、安心してシュノーケルできました。
また、私たち家族についてくれたガイドさんがやさしく声をかけてくれたので、子どもたちも頑張って泳げました。
海の中はとってもキレイで、水族館の中にいるような気分。最高でした！子どもたちも、石垣島旅行の思い出の1番にあげるくらい、シュノーケルで見た海の世界が感動的だったようです。

幻の島に着いてからは、私が少しシュノーケル中に酔ってしまい、あまり動けなかったのですが、担当のガイドさんが子どもと一緒に遊んでくれ、貝探しをして楽しませてくれたりと、本当に助かりました。

ステキな写真も沢山撮ってもらい、さっそくプリントして飾っています！
ムービーも撮っていただき、泳いでいる様子を下から撮っていただいたものがお気に入りです(^^)


帰りの船では、タコライス、ハンバーガー、そばの美味しいお店を教えてもらい、実際に行ったら最高に美味しかったです！！

またこちらのツアーにお世話になりたいと思うほど、至れり尽せりでした。
ありがとうございました！

The sea wasn't too rough that day, but since it was a small boat, it rocked quite a bit, and there were some people who felt sick and ended up vomiting. If you are prone to motion sickness, I definitely recommend taking anti-nausea medication before boarding.

Unfortunately, we hardly saw any whales. We might have caught a glimpse of a tail a few times in the distance, but it was so brief that there was no time to take photos. Just being able to see them was a small consolation. So, the whale watching experience was disappointing this time.

However, Tokashiki Island was very nice. The conversations during the car ride around the island were also interesting. I was soothed by the beautiful sandy beaches and scenery.

Thanks to the tour that included landing on Tokashiki Island, the disappointment of not seeing whales was somewhat alleviated.

当日海はそこまで荒れていませんでしたが、小さな船なのでそこそこ揺れ、具合が悪くなって吐いている方がいました。乗り物酔いをする方は、絶対に吐気止めを服用してから乗船したほうが良いと思います。

残念ながらクジラはほとんど見られませんでした。
遠くの方で数回尻尾が見えたかな～というくらい。
それも一瞬なので、写真を撮る余裕はありません。
見れただけマシという程度。
なのでホエールウォッチングに関しては今回は残念な結果でした。

ただ渡嘉敷島はとても良かったです。
渡嘉敷島内を移動する車の中でのお話も興味深かったです。
きれいな砂浜と景色で癒されました。

渡嘉敷島上陸が付いているツアーに申し込んだおかげで、クジラのガッカリ感は半減しました。

I would have appreciated it if the guidance could have been provided a bit later. The staff were very kind, which was great, but I thought the price was a bit high considering the value.

もう少し、時間が遅く案内してもらえると
よかったです、
スタッフの方はとても親切でよかったのですが、
対価で考えると高いかなぁと思いました

Due to the rain that continued until the day before, I participated with a change of plans. They extended the time a bit, allowing us to relax on the water until sunset. It was the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen.

前日まで雨が続いたため、予定変更しての参加でした。時間も少し延長していただき陽が沈むまで海上でゆっくり過ごすことができました。
今までで見たなかで1番素敵なサンセットです。

I was able to see the sunset, and the view was amazing, but the BBQ was tough and not very enjoyable due to the heat.

サンセットも見れたし景色は最高でしたが
BBQは暑さもありお肉は硬くてあまり楽しめませんでした。

This time, I participated in this tour because I could use the free parking available since I rented a car. I arrived much earlier than planned, but I was able to take the earliest boat and see sea turtles. I look forward to visiting Ishigaki Island again.

今回はレンタカーを借りていたので、無料駐車場が使えるこちらのツアーに参加しました。予定よりかなり早く着いてしまったのですが、いちばん早いボートに乗せていただきウミガメも見ることができました。また、石垣島に行く時はよろしくお願いします。

The food was terrible, but the staff cleaned up quickly, and the buffet food ran out during the meal.

If you are participating alone in the last cruise, I think it's better to have a shuttle service or rent a car since you won't be able to catch a taxi.

料理も最悪でしたが店員さんの片付けが早く食事の途中でブュッフェの食べ物もなくなりました。

最終便のクルーズに単独で参加する場合タクシーが捕まらないので送迎ありかレンタカーで行った方がいいと思います。

I participated with my 2-year-old and 7-year-old children. Since it was a large boat, I felt safe even with small kids. We were able to see a sea turtle resting on the coral reef!

2才と7才の子供と一緒に参加しました。大きな船なので、小さい子供がいても安心でした。ウミガメがサンゴ礁で休んでるところが見られました！

This was my second time using the service, following last summer. A week after my trip, my eldest son, who missed last summer's trip, will be turning twenty, so I wanted to arrange a surprise for him. I tried to make a reservation, but it happened to be a day off. Since it was the day before, I emailed to inquire if a surprise could still be arranged, explaining the situation. I received a response indicating it would be difficult. However, the next day, I received an email saying they would check with the operating company, and as a result, they were able to switch the day off to the day of the event and the day of the event to a day off. This was truly a surprise. I quickly made a reservation for four people. On the day, we enjoyed a delicious Wagyu steak course while being celebrated by a Hawaiian singer who resembled Susan (sorry) through a surprise performance, making it the best birthday celebration a week in advance. I don't remember the name of the singer (let's call her Susan), but she went around greeting each table while playing the ukulele and even saw us off on the deck when we left, providing wonderful hospitality and performance throughout. It was a two-hour experience that made me want to come back next year. Thank you very much.

昨夏に続いて2度目の利用。渡航の1週間後に昨夏不参加だった長男が二十歳を迎える事からサプライズ演出をお願いしたく予約を入れようとしたところ、丁度運休日。前日だと8日前の為、サプライズ演出は可能かを事情も入れメールにて問い合わせ。難しい旨の連絡を頂く。しかし翌日、催行会社に問い合わせてみる旨のメールが届き、結果、運休日だった当日を催行日に、催行日だった前日を運休日とし、入れ替えて頂ける事になったとの連絡を頂く。これぞサプライズ。早速4名で予約を入れた。当日は和牛ステーキコースを美味しく頂きながら、スーザン小雪似の（すいません）ハワイアンシンガーの方にサプライズ演出にて祝って頂き、最高の誕生日1週間前となりました。名前は覚えていないスーザン（仮）さん、各テーブルをウクレレを弾きながら挨拶して回られていたり、帰りもデッキで見送って頂き、終始素晴らしい振る舞い、パフォーマンスだった。また来年もお世話になりたいと思える２時間だった。有難う御座いました。

I went during high tide, and I could see clearly down to the seabed. I was delighted to see several sea turtles. The gentle waves made it comfortable to watch.

満潮時間に行きましたが、海底まで近く、よく見えました。ウミガメを何匹も
見ることができ、喜びました。揺れも少なく心地よく見ることができました。

The weather was great, and the sunset was wonderful. It felt like it took quite a while to get out to sea. Also, while the staff led us from the shop to the boat, they walked at a speed that showed no consideration for small children or the elderly, which made it a bit difficult to keep up at times. That was the only disappointing part.

天気もよく素晴らしいサンセットでした。
かなり沖合に出たので移動に時間がかかる印象です。
また、ショップから船までスタッフさんが先導してくれるのですが、小さい子供やお年寄りもいるのに全く配慮がないスピードで歩くため、途中で見失いそうになったのが唯一残念な感じでした。

I participated with a friend. I was a bit nervous about snorkeling, but I felt at ease because they taught us carefully from the beginning! During the drive, we got to hear about the gourmet food and recommended spots in Ishigaki Island, making it a very meaningful time overall! I highly recommend everyone to listen in! During snorkeling, I learned a lot about the ocean, which made it even more enjoyable! Since we had free time on Taketomi Island, it was great to move at our own pace! We also received photos, and overall, it was a plan with 100% satisfaction!

友達と2人で参加をしました。シュノーケリングに対して少し緊張感があったのですが、一から丁寧に教えていただいたので安心して参加が出来ました！
移動中の車で石垣島のグルメやおすすめスポットのお話が聞けて、そこも含めてとても有意義な時間でした！皆さんもぜひ聞いてみていただきたいです！
シュノーケリングの時も、海の知識を沢山教えていただけて、より楽しめました！
竹富島も自由行動なので、自分達のタイミングで動けて良かったです！
写真ももらえて、総じて満足度100%のプランでした！

After the typhoon, there was some murkiness in the shallow areas, but once we got out to the open sea, we could see relatively clear waters. Usually, we only see about one sea turtle, but perhaps due to the timing of our trip, we were able to see five!

台風後で浅い所は濁りがありましたが、冲に出ると比較的綺麗な海中が眺められました。普段は１匹くらいしか見れないウミガメも乗った時間が良かったのか、５匹見ることができました。

The parking lot was conveniently close to the boat dock and the observation deck. The boat's rocking wasn't too bad, and even family members who are prone to seasickness had no issues. It was a boat that departed at 9 AM in early July, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles. However, the captain made an effort to show us sea turtles and took us around various spots for almost a full hour, so we disembarked feeling good.

駐車場は、ボート乗り場や展望台？まで近くて良かったです。
ボートの揺れは大したことなく、酔いやすい家族も問題ありませんでした。
７月上旬の9時出航の船でしたが、残念ながらウミガメには出会えず。
ただ、船長さんは、なんとかウミガメを見せようと、ほぼ丸一時間、色々なところを巡ってくれましたので、気持ち良く下船しました。

I went on a cruise from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM. We saw four sea turtles, as well as clownfish and many other fish. The guide's explanations were clear, making for a fulfilling 30 minutes. I also appreciated that the parking was free.

13:00〜13:30のクルーズに行きました。
ウミガメが4匹、他にもクマノミやたくさんの魚が見えました。
ガイドさんの案内もわかりやすく、充実した30分間でした。
駐車場も無料なのがありがたかったです。
