All Reviews for Glass Bottom Boat

The wind was strong, and the water was murky, so the conditions weren't very good.

However, the boat ride to the point was pleasant, and even though the water was cloudy, I enjoyed the atmosphere, so it was nice.

Also, the lunch buffet at the Pacific Hotel was delicious.

I hope to go again when the visibility is better!

風が強く、海中は濁っていたので、あまり状態は良くありませんでした。

が、ポイントへ行くまでの間の船旅が気持ちよく、濁ってはいたものの、雰囲気は楽しめたので、良かったです。

それからパシフィックホテルのランチバイキングがおいしかったです(^^)

また透明度の高い時に行けたらな～と思います。

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.

天氣好在甲板吹風很愉快,海中能見度較低但也看的到珊瑚礁及魚群.船上清潔不錯,但當日人有點多.
坐在中層柴油味較重,但暈船者要留意.

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。

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! 😊

5歳の息子と2人で参加しました！
オルカ号に乗った日は風が強く吹いていた為、海中は濁って見えます。
と船に乗る前にアナウンスがありました。

いざ出発、船の上は平気でしたが
海中を見る為、停泊し地下の部屋に入って見ていると思っていた以上に船が揺れて魚は見えているのですが、息子は顔が真顔になっていき途中断念。。
少しでも海中を見れて良かったですが、また視界良好な日にリベンジしたいと思います(^^)

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.

I arrived alone in Ishigaki Island during some free time, and since I often see pictures of Kabira Bay in guidebooks, I decided to check it out right away. The staff at the reception were friendly, and the boats depart every 15 minutes. The explanations from the captain, who served as the guide, were easy to understand. Of course, the underwater scenery was a treasure trove of coral reefs and tropical fish. After about a 30-minute cruise, I want to come back next time with family or friends.

たまたま空いた時間を利用して石垣島に1人で到着、ガイドブックでよく見る写真が川平湾でしたので、早速行ってみることにしました。
受付の方達は親切、船は15分おきに出港、ガイド役の船長さんの説明も解りやすい。
もちろん海の中は、サンゴ礁や熱帯魚の宝庫でした。
約30分の遊覧、今度は家族や仲間同伴で来たいと思います。

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.

Even though the typhoon passed three days ago, I couldn't see anything due to the aftermath. It would have been nice to have a refund or a ticket for the next visit. I hope to see a beautiful ocean next time.

台風は3日前に去っていても余波で何にも見えませんでした。返金か次回観れる券があると良かったです。次回は綺麗な海をみたいです。

I saw something in the sea, was it a damselfish? Where is the coral?
I can't hear the announcements!
I have to go to Yanbaru in Okinawa!

海のなかに、見えたのほは、スズメダイ？珊瑚は、どこ？
アナウンス聞こえない‼️
沖縄も、やんばるへ行かないと、駄目です‼️

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.

沖縄現地に入ってから、二日前に急遽申込みました。子供２人と共に４人で参加しました。
海は非常に綺麗で、海上からの景色も当然綺麗ですが、魚も手に取るように見え、外の灼熱の暑さを忘れる、清々しい気持ちに包まれました。お薦めです。

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.

期間限定割引だったので夫婦と子供一名で7800円はお得でした。水中を観られる時間は15〜20分くらいだったかと思います。近海なので透明度は期待したほどでなかった。小さなお子様連れにはオススメ。

We visited three points:
- Anemone roots: Clownfish and colorful fish
- Branch coral: Bleached coral and living coral (beautifully glowing blue)
- Rocky areas: Sleeping turtles and swimming turtles

At each point, the boat's direction was changed frequently so that everyone could see easily while explanations were given. It was hard to hear the voice over the engine noise, but the underwater scenery was beautiful.

3つのポイントを回ってもらえました。
・イソギンチャクの根： カクレクマノミや色鮮やかな魚たち
・枝サンゴ：白化してしまったサンゴ、生きているサンゴ(青色に光ってきれい)
・岩場：寝るカメ、泳ぐカメ
それぞれのポイントでどの席でも見えやすいよう船の向きをぐるぐる変えながら、説明してもらえます。エンジン音で声は聞きづらかったですが、海中はきれいでした。

You can observe various fish and corals from the bottom of the boat. We had a one-year-old child with us, and they were peering in with great interest. Unlike snorkeling, it's great that people of all ages, from children to the elderly, can easily participate!

船底から様々な魚と珊瑚を観察出来ます。1歳の子供も一緒でしたが興味深く覗き込んでいました。シュノーケリングと違い子供からお年寄りまで気軽に参加出来るのもgood!

Even though I can't swim, I was able to snorkel thanks to the support I received. I'm grateful to the staff. The phantom island and the beautiful underwater scenery provided such a wonderful experience at my age. It was truly moving.

泳げない私でも、サポートをしていただきシュノーケルができました。スタッフの方に感謝です。
幻の島といい海の中といいこの歳にしてこれほど美しく素晴らしい体験ができるなんて。感動でした。

Unfortunately for me the weather was turning bad that day so the water was a little murky but they posted a sign saying how clear the water would be and how stable the boat would be and it was accurate. I had a fabulous time and inwould recommend anyone to take this tour. The lunch at the hotel was nice I liked that they had shabu shabu, but mostlynit was Chinese style foods.

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。

It was unfortunate that the visibility underwater was a bit poor due to the bad weather, but the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. Next time, I plan to check the weather and make a reservation on-site.

天候が悪かったので少し水中の視界が悪かったのが残念でしたが
それでも水中はキレイで写真をいっぱい撮って帰ってきました。
次回は天候をみて、現地で予約して行こうと思いました。

At first, I was anxious, wondering if I had mistakenly booked the wrong tour since I didn't know where I would be able to see the fish from the boat. However, once we arrived at the designated spot, we were guided to the bottom of the boat and were able to see the fish underwater. Although the water was murky, I was glad to see a lot of coral.

最初『船の中から魚が見られる』とは言うものの、どこから見られるのか判らず間違って観光注文してしまったのかと不安に覚えた。だけどポイントに着いてから船底への案内をしてもらい水中の中の魚達を見ることが出来た。
海中は濁っていたけど、多数のサンゴが見られて良かったと思う

I encountered a sea turtle, which according to legend brings happiness when you meet one in the clear blue sea.

I was overwhelmed by the incredible clarity of the ocean.

蒼く澄んだ海で、出会えると幸せになれるという言い伝えがある海ガメに出会えました。

海の透明度の凄さに圧倒されました。

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。

The weather was nice and there were many tourists, but since I had purchased my tickets in advance, the exchange was smooth! I was able to buy them a little cheaper than on-site! I recommend it for older adults and those with small children! You can enjoy the ocean without getting wet while on the boat! They also provide explanations, which makes it fun! There are occasionally sea turtles, so be sure to look for them! I was able to see a sea turtle on the day of my visit.

天気も良く観光客も多かったですが、事前に購入をしておいたので引き換えスムーズでした!!
現地で買うより少し安く買えました!!　　年配の方や小さな子供がいる方にはおすすめ!!
船に乗りながら濡れずに海の中を楽しめます！！　説明もしてくれるので楽しいですっよ！！
.ウミガメがたまに居るので探してみてください!!　当日はウミガメを見ることができました

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。

Due to the typhoon, I couldn't step out of the hotel for a whole day. The next day, I arrived at Kabira Bay, which I had been most eager to visit on Ishigaki Island, by rental car. Because of low tide, the glass-bottom boat couldn't set sail, so I drove around the area until the afternoon before boarding. The water was murky due to the typhoon, but I could see tropical fish and giant clams. The overall scenery of Kabira Bay, with the contrast of the sea's color and the island's greenery, was stunning. There is an observation deck at the back of the ticket booth, and the view from there is the best.

台風の影響により1日はホテルから1歩も出られなかった。
翌日レンタカーで石垣島で1番訪れたかった川平湾に到着。干潮のためグラスボートは出航できず、午後になるまで近くをドライブして乗船しました。台風の後なので海中は濁っていましたが、熱帯魚やシャコガイが見えました。
川平湾は水中よりも全体の景色、海の色・島の緑のコントラストが素晴らしかったです。
チケット売り場の奥に見晴らし台がありそこからの眺めが1番です。

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。

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♪

I was grateful to be able to board right after arriving. I was happy to see many sea turtles and fish. It went by in a flash.

到着してすぐ乗船させてもらえ助かりました。
ウミガメや魚の姿もたくさん見れてうれしかったです。あっという間でした。

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

We participated as three generations of our family. The boat's sway was at level 4 out of 5, but it wasn't as shaky as I had expected. However, I wish the water had been a bit clearer. After the cruising, we had a lunch buffet at the hotel. The hotel was close to the port, and the food was delicious.

親子三代で参加しました。船の揺れは、レベル５のうち、レベル４でしたが、思ってたほどの揺れではなかったです。ただ、もう少し透明度がよかったらなと。
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。

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

It was 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。
