Kagoshima Cruise Reviews

We purchased a 2-day shuttle pass, but only used it the first day. We took the shuttle and explored the Dolphin Port, then walked downtown and walked through the shopping area. On our second day we hired a taxi to take us to the Chiran Peace Gardens, Kamakaze Museum, and Samurai Gardens. It was about an hour drive, including a drive on a melody road, and we spent a couple of hours there before ...

beautiful place to visit but short duration stay in the port area ...

Only did the included freebee, which took us to a cultural museum which was interesting. Customs procedure was long and ate into the time there. Not something Viking had any control over though. ...

First time to Kagoshima. Took the extra bus (€15) into town rather than the taxi and this was better value. Nice place to visit. ...

Took excursion to Sakurajima Island. Heavy fog again. Walked up path to view volcano but couldn't see it. :"Shopping stop" was in a dingy area where there was nothing a tourist would care to purchase. ...

Walked in town then back on boat for lunch. ...

This was the best excursion HAL organised. Delightful city and we covered a good range of activities. Guide was average. ...

Quite uninteresting place with little character or charm. Weather didn’t do it any favours either ...

Shared a taxi with another couple to the Kamakazi Museum. 16,000 yen covered driver plus 2 hours wait. Extremely moving museum and much cheaper than shore excursion. We had visitited and were out by the time the shore excursions and school groups arrived. Highly recommended ...

I enjoyed the visit to Arimura Lava Observatory. The weather was beautiful and had a clear view of the volcano. Sengan en gardens were beautiful, the luncheon was great. Enjoyed seeing the Shochu distillery and tasting room ...
