The dolphin cruises are a pleasant way to enjoy the calm seas, and the ships offer a sense of luxury, freedom, and freshness, even on rainy days. They also have charter sunset cruise plans and more.
  • Travel Station, Tabi-no-Eki Ganmon Leisure Cruise Information Center
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Hakui-gun Shikamachi Togiushioroshi Ganmon
    "This pleasure boat cruises around one of Noto Peninsula Quasi-National Park's most scenic spots, ""Noto Kongo"", where the cliffs and odd-looking rock formations create a dramatic landscape. Special cruises start from ""Travel Station Ganmon"" and ""Noto Kongo Center"" piers between mid-March and mid-November. A highlight is the natural cave ""Ganmon"" eroded by the rough seas of the Sea of Japan. The view enjoyed from sea differs to that from land. The cruise visits famous places such as Japan's oldest wooden Japanese lighthouse ""Fukuura Port"", and ""Yoshitsune Funakakushi"" (hiding place of Yoshitsune's boat) in about 20 minutes."
  • Tsukumo Bay Underwater Park Pleasure Boat
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Pref. Housugunnotochou Otsusaka 4-13
    A sightseeing boat service which tours Tsukumo Bay, considered one of Japan's most picturesque locations. Riders can take in the distinctive scenery created by the complex geography of the bay's 99 inlets. The bay experiences gentle waves like a lake and the boat sways little, ensuring even those prone to seasickness need not worry. During the 40 minute cruise, the boat leaves from a dock on the east side of the bay and visits various picturesque sights as it is caressed by gentle sea breezes. A feeding show conducted at a 100 meter fish preserve along the way has resulted in the boat tours gaining much popularity via word of mouth. Being able to watch wild fish from special glasses is also amazing.
