Deluxe Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Hula Kai

It was like being in another world!

Reviewed by: Ariana K.

My family and I totally agree that this was the best tour that we did while we were in Hawaii. A friend of mine had told me about the rays on the big island, but I totally didn't think that it was going to be that amazing. The crew members were really attentive and once we got into the water, it was like being in some alien planet with the rays around us and the plankton glowing under the lights. Doing this again if I ever get back to Hawaii!!!!

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

Whales, sea turtles, and tropical fish. クジラと海がめと熱帯魚

Reviewed by: RYU

We signed up for a kayak tour in Japanese as a couple in our 50s. The owner and guide, Kevin, has a beautiful Japanese wife. Kevin used to be an English teacher in Japan, so he speaks Japanese well. His wife is said to be a former student of his.

Even if it's your first time kayaking, you'll be fine. You'll receive kind and thorough instruction, and then the two of them will guide you out to sea. With a stable sit-on-top kayak, there's no worry about capsizing, even for beginners. We could see whales spouting and raising their tails in the distance, and we also spotted sea turtles. There's a point where manta rays can appear, so it seems you might see them as well. We were told that if a large black shadow passes by, it's a manta ray, but we didn't see any that day.

The snorkeling revealed the beauty of the sea... Instead of going out on a big boat to see whales and dolphins, let's leisurely meet whales and sea turtles in a stable kayak. If you get better at paddling, they will guide you to even more amazing spots, so I think it's a good idea to sign up for two days.

Please experience the great nature that you can't enjoy on Oahu. It takes about 15 minutes and costs $20 by taxi from our hotel in Kona to the clubhouse.

It would have been fun if I hadn't gotten drunk. 酔わなかったら楽しかったはず

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Despite taking motion sickness medication, I felt a bit nauseous on the way there. Two of my friends also got seasick.

Since swimming seemed tiring, I borrowed a float and went snorkeling. The water was cold, and the waves made me feel even more nauseous, but the clarity of the sea was amazing, and I could see deep down.

I was expecting colorful tropical fish (like Nemo), but instead, there were various medium-sized fish.

Both breakfast and lunch looked delicious, but I couldn't eat anything at all because I was feeling sick. I couldn't even drink anything, which was really disappointing.

The restroom was spacious, and since I changed right after getting out of the sea, I didn't feel cold.

On the way back, it was great to see a whale. I thought I would like to participate again next time.

酔い止めを飲んだにもかかわらす、行きにちょっと酔いました。友達2人も酔ってました。
泳ぐのも疲れそうだったので、浮き輪を借りてシュノーケルしました。水も冷たく、波でさらに酔っていいことなしだったのですが、海の透明度はすごくて深くまで見えました。
カラフルな熱帯魚（ニモみたいな）を期待していたのですが、それとは違っていろいろな種類の中くらいの魚がいました。
　朝ごはん、ランチともおいしそうなものが並んでいましたが、酔っていたため全く食べれず。飲み物も飲めず。すごく残念でした。
　トイレがひろく、海からあがってすぐに着替えたため、寒くはなかったです。
帰り、クジラがみれたのがよかったです。
次に行く時、もう一度参加したいと思いました。

I've never kayaked before and thought this was fun. It was a little windy on the day we went out but that didn't hinder us at all except when it came time to see the cave. Only one or two boats braved this part. Get ready to climb up some lava cliffs (about 4 feet high) and then jump back in too. Hadn't done anything like that in awhile but found it to be fun and refreshing. I sit at a desk all day so this was awesome for me. The snorkeling was beautiful as usual in Hawaii so no disappointment there. Overall we had a great time!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this rafting trip. It was absolutely amazing! The staff were excellent. They even had an RX mask for me to use. Soon after departure we came across some pygmy killer whales and dolphins. The guide said it was rare that they hung around so long because if you see them they usually take a breath and leave but this pod stuck with us for over 10 minutes. Even saw some spinner dolphins swimming about 50 feet below the raft. They were moving fast but we could still see them. The guides took there time and allowed us to wait and watch. We all just soaked up the time. The snorkeling, at two different places, was fantastic! This was our first time in Hawaii and we were not disappointed. The crew at Sea Quest Ocean Rafting just made our trip even more memorable. Thanks guys because this trip was truly a blessing!

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

The manta rays are quite impressive! マンタ 結構迫力あります！

Reviewed by: 松本

I participated with my spouse and our 5-year-old son on September 27, 2010. We arrived at the location for check-in at 6:00, and while preparing our wetsuits and snorkeling masks, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset before boarding the boat that was docked nearby.

I thought we would head out to sea, but it turned out we were quite close to shore, right in view of the Sheraton. After arriving, we received various explanations in English before preparing for the night snorkeling. I later learned that the area in front of the Sheraton is a famous spot for manta ray sightings, and the Sheraton is well-known for being a hotel where you can see manta rays.

Near the boat, there were floating devices that you could hold onto, and we swam there using a noodle, which is a stick-shaped flotation device. (They also provide life jackets for those who need them.) By the way, there are stairs in the center of the boat that lead down to the sea, where you enter the water.

My 5-year-old son was quite scared since it was his first time in dark and deep water, but he was able to see a manta ray (though he quickly came back up). He was happy to see other fish from the boat.

That day, there were quite a few manta rays, and they came very close, which was quite impressive. Even though we were told that manta rays do not attack people and that they have no mouths to bite, it might still be a bit intimidating for adults (laughs).

By the way, we were repeatedly told not to touch the manta rays, and since this was explained in English, it’s best to listen carefully. Also, when watching the manta rays, you need to keep your body horizontal and not let your legs dangle down. They were saying "FLAT! FLAT!" in English, but it took me a little while to realize what they meant...

Additionally, there were other fish besides the manta rays, and it seems you can snorkel freely near the boat, so I highly recommend this for those who have never done night snorkeling or seen manta rays before.

By the way, there was no place to change, so I wore my swimsuit and changed in the car on the way back. There is a restroom nearby, so you might be able to use that, but I haven't confirmed it.

Things you should bring include a camera for underwater video recording, a waterproof flashlight, and warm clothing.

Also, I tend to get seasick, so as expected, I couldn't eat or drink on the boat. Those who don't get seasick can enjoy snacks and hot drinks.

2010/09/27に夫婦と5歳の息子とで参加しました。6:00にチェックインとの事で現地に行きましたが、ちょうどきれいな夕日を見ながらウェットスーツや水中眼鏡などの準備をし、すぐそこに泊めてある船に乗り込みました。
沖合いに行くのかと思っていたのですが結構すぐ近くで、シェラトンからすぐ見える所でした。現地に着くと英語でいろいろと説明された後にナイトシュノーケリングの準備となります。後で知ったのですが、シェラトンの前はマンタが見える有名なスポットで、シェラトンもマンタが見えるホテルで有名との事です。

船の近くには手でつかまることができる設備が浮いており、そこまでヌードルと呼ばれる棒状の浮き具で泳いでいきます。（ライフジャケットも必要な人には貸してくれます。）
ちなみに船の中央に海に繋がる階段があり、そこを下って海に入ります。

5歳の息子は暗い海と深い海が初めてだったのでかなり怖がっていましたが、一応マンタを目視できました。（すぐにあがってしまいましたが）その他の魚は船上から見て喜んでました。

この日はマンタが結構来ており、しかもすぐ目の前まで接近してきてかなりの迫力でした。マンタは人を攻撃しないし、あごも無いので噛めないといった説明をされていたにもかかわらず、大人でもちょっとビビるかもしれません（笑）

ちなみにマンタは触ってはいけませんと散々言われますが、英語で言われますので説明は良く聞いた方が良いです。またマンタを見る際は足も下にブラブラするのでなく、体が水平になるようにしないといけません。英語でFLAT! FLAT!と言われていたのですが、気が付くまで少し時間がかかってしまいました...

また、マンタ以外にも魚がおり、船の近くはある程度自由にシュノーケリングもして良いようなので、ナイトシュノーケリングをやった事がない方やマンタを見たこと無い方には結構おすすめです。

ちなみに着替える所はなかったので水着を着て行って、帰りは車で着替えました。ちかくにトイレがあるのでそこも使えるのかもしれませんが、未確認です。

持っていった方が良いものとしては、水中で動画撮影できるカメラ、防水懐中電灯、防寒着ですね。

あと、私は船酔いする体質なので、予想通り船上では飲食できませんでした。船酔いしない人はスナックやホットドリンクでゆっ

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

A thrilling experience for the first time. 初めてのドキドキ体験

Reviewed by: A.S.

Riding a kayak was exciting for me, especially since I haven't had much experience with boats in Japan. It felt more like being on a board floating on the sea (though it was stable), which was a strange sensation. At first, I struggled with bumping into others and not being able to move forward smoothly, but as time passed, I was able to pick up speed.

The sea was very clear and beautiful. Paddling through it on a sea kayak felt like returning to nature, as if I had become one with it, and it was incredibly refreshing.

I was a bit nervous about the caves at first, but they were cool and interesting. Next time, I want to explore a larger cave with a kayak! ^^

カヤックに乗るのはもちろん、日本でもあまりボートとか乗ったことがないので、ドキドキでした。カヤックはボートというより、海の上に浮いている板に乗っているような感覚で（とはいえ、安定はしていましたが）、不思議な感覚でした。最初は他の人にぶつかったり、うまく前に進めなかったりと悪戦苦闘しましたが、時間が経つにつれ、スピードを上げることも出来ました。
海がとても澄んでいてきれいでした。その海をシーカヤックに乗って進むと、自然に帰ったような、自然と一体となったような、何ともいえず気持ちがよかったです。
洞窟も最初はちょっとドキドキしましたが、ちょっとひんやりして面白かったです。今度はもっと本格的な巨大洞窟をカヤックで探検してみたいです^^

It's interesting! おもしろいですよ！

Reviewed by: 海男

In the morning, I participated in the sea kayak cave exploration, and in the afternoon, I relaxed with shopping, at the beach, and by the hotel pool. I think the reason I had such a fulfilling day was that the morning tour was really great.

Once I got on the sea kayak, I felt like a local as I paddled out into the sea. The instructor was quite reliable and kindly guided us. The kayak was narrower and had a lower edge than boats in Japan, so it felt like I was sitting in the water. My wife was initially scared and was squealing, but she gradually got used to it.

The caves were mysterious, and the fact that you could only access them by kayak added to the sense of adventure, which was really fun. It was a wonderful experience.

その日は午前中はこのシーカヤックの海中洞窟探検に参加し、午後はショッピングやビーチやホテルのプールなどでゆっくり過ごしました。なかなか充実した気分で１日過ごせたのは、午前中のこのツアーがとてもよかったからだと思います。

シーカヤックに乗ると、現地の人になった気分で海に漕ぎ出ました。なかなか頼もしい指導員の方が親切にご指導して下さいました。
日本のボートよりも幅が狭く縁の高さが低いので海に座っている感覚でした。家内などは最初はこわがってきゃーきゃーと言っていましたが、だんだん慣れたようでした。

洞窟も神秘的で、カヤックでしか行けないというのが冒険心を煽られて楽しかったですね。
とてもいい体験ができました。

I thought it would be great to paddle a sea kayak myself, which feels very outdoorsy, so I joined the adventure. It was quite a good experience. Since sea kayaking is close to the water's surface, it was fun to glide along the ocean. I was a bit worried about what would happen if big waves came, but there were no such waves, and I was relieved when I safely reached the cave. The inside of the cave was wonderful too. They said the walls were pink, and they really were, beautiful indeed. Gliding through the cave in the kayak was a unique sensation. I also enjoyed snorkeling and diving into the beautiful sea. It was a lot of fun.

自分で体を動かしてシーカヤックを漕ぐというのが、アウトドアっぽくていいな~と思ってアドベンチャーに参加。なかなかよい体験でした。シーカヤックは海面に近いので、海の表面を進む感じで楽しかったです。大波が来たらどうしようとか思いましたが、そのような波もなく、無事に洞窟までたどり着いた時はほっとしました。洞窟の中もステキでした。ピンクの壁とあったけど、本当にピンクで、きれいでした。カヤックでゆらゆらと進む洞窟はまた格別の感覚でした。シュノーケリングで海に潜ったり、と海をきれいな海を満喫できました。とても楽しかったです。

I'm glad I participated. At first, balancing on the kayak was difficult, but I quickly became a pro-level paddler. When we went out to the middle of the ocean, I wondered if I would be okay, but the instructor frequently checked in on us, which was reassuring.

Paddling through the sea caves was an amazing experience. It felt strange to navigate through areas that could only be accessed by kayak, where there was no solid ground. It was a very interesting experience. The snorkeling afterward was also great; the water was clear, and tropical fish were swimming nearby, which was a lot of fun.

I'm really glad I took part in this.

カヤックで海の真ん中まで行った時は少し大丈夫かなーっとも思いましたが、指導員の方がよく声をかけて下さったので、安心でした。
海中洞窟もカヤックで進むのは感動でした。足場がないところでカヤックでしか行けない中を進むのは不思議な感覚でした。とても面白い体験でした。その後のシュノーケリングも、海が透明ですぐ近くを熱帯魚が泳いでいて、とても楽しかったです。

It's a place that's hard to visit individually, with beautiful waters and plenty of fish. The BBQ lunch on the boat was fantastic. The staff grilled the meat for the burgers, and then you could add your favorite toppings yourself. It was delicious. I think there were about four types of drinks available.

They also lend out floaties, so even those who are not confident swimmers can participate with peace of mind. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see dolphins in the distance!

The boat was stable, so I didn't get seasick, and participants of all ages—young and old—can enjoy this tour.

I had no idea there was a tour to swim with manta rays until I saw this site, so I signed up immediately.

As for my experience... Unfortunately, I could only see one manta ray, but it was still a valuable experience and I was satisfied! The number of rays you can see seems to vary quite a bit from day to day, so I'm looking forward to next time.

The night sea is pitch dark. There was someone with a light that can be used underwater, which I thought was a great idea. Also, I participated in September, and it was colder than I expected, so I think having a thick jacket would be a good idea.

The sunset and stars viewed from the boat were incredibly beautiful!

If possible, I would like to challenge myself with a more authentic cave experience next time (like progressing in complete darkness relying on headlamps). I felt like I returned to my childhood and became closer to my son. He even said, "Dad was the most excited" ^^;

This tour had everything we wanted to do in Hawaii: enjoying the ocean, experiencing nature, and being active ourselves! The underwater cave was a bit nerve-wracking, but the ocean leading up to it was incredibly clear, and we could see all the way to the bottom while kayaking, which was breathtaking. It was my first time kayaking, and it felt great. It felt much closer to the ocean than being on a boat, and I wanted to take it home with me.

Exploring the cave was also refreshing; I had walked through caves in Japan before, but this was my first time moving over water. It was a bit scary, but it felt like a thrilling amusement park ride (of course, nothing scary actually came out).

It was also a great memory to bond with the other participants. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to go kayaking again.

海を満喫したいのと、ハワイの自然を楽しみたいのと、自分達でも体を動かして体験したいのと、私たちが「ハワイでしたいこと」の全部を持っているツアーでした！海中洞窟はちょっとドキドキでしたが、そこに行くまでの海が透明度バツグンで、カヤックを操作しながらも底まで見えるので、感動でした。カヤック自体初めてでしたが、乗っていて気持ちよかったです。ボートよりももっと海に近い感じで、家に持って帰りたいくらいでした。
洞窟探検も、今まで日本の鍾乳洞など歩いて入ったことはあるけど、水の上を進むのは初めてだったので、とても新鮮でした。ちょっとこわかったけど、スリル満点の遊園地のアトラクションのようでした（もちろん、怖いものは何も出ませんでしたが）。
一緒に参加した人達とも和気藹々と盛り上がれたのもいい思い出です。今度ハワイに行くことがあったらまたカヤックには乗りたいです。

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

The real thing is a different flavor! 本物は二味違う！

Reviewed by: イチロー

I had seen footage on TV of manta rays gathering around light to feed on plankton, but seeing them in person was a completely different experience!

We got incredibly close, almost within reach of them, and it was my first time entering the ocean at night and seeing manta rays up close. I believe this experience holds significant value! We observed while holding onto something like a raft on the water, and since I was at the farthest end from the boat, the manta rays came quite close to me. This is just my interpretation, but perhaps being at the edge allows the manta rays to have an escape route, making them less skittish (laughs).

Here are a few points for those participating:

1. Be sure to borrow a wetsuit. It was the middle of summer, but the ocean at night was still cold. They will provide masks and fins while on land, so make sure to ask for a wetsuit at that time. For those who are sensitive to cold in winter, it's advisable to bring a rash guard or wear two wetsuits for extra warmth.

2. Capture videos instead of still images. Still images don’t turn out as beautifully as in the posts. Flash is completely ineffective. Using a waterproof camera for video or preparing a waterproof case for your camera will allow for better footage. I couldn't post due to storage issues, but the videos turned out really well.

3. If you are prone to seasickness, prepare some medication. Generally, you just float, so even those who aren't confident swimmers can participate in this activity (though it can be a bit nerve-wracking since it's dark at night). Just floating can still make you feel queasy due to the waves, and even though the boat ride is only about five minutes, some people feel sick during the briefing on the water. It seems that standing in a spot where the wind hits you more is less likely to cause seasickness than sitting, but if you're worried, it’s best to take some medication beforehand.

4. All instructions are in English. They will explain not to walk around while wearing fins, to keep your legs horizontal while floating to attract manta rays, that flash photography bothers them, and where the restroom is located. There will be no Japanese spoken, so if you don’t speak English, pay close attention to the actions of those around you.

5. Bring as few belongings as possible and avoid taking valuables. Most belongings are left unattended on the boat, so try not to bring valuables with you.

テレビでマンタが光に集まるプランクトンを食べにくる映像は見たことありましたが、実際に見ると一味も二味も違いました！！

カメラを持つ手にかするほどの大接近で、夜に海に入ることやマンタを間近で見れるなど、初めての体験が多く、そういった価値はかなりあるかと思います！
海の上のイカダのようなものに掴まっての観察ですが、私は船から一番離れた端にいたため、マンタがかなり目の前に来ました。勝手な解釈ですが、端のほうがマンタも逃げ道があるので、きやすいのはないでしょうか（笑）

参加する方にいくつかポイントです。

1. ウェットスーツは必ず借りましょう。
私は真夏でしたが、それでも夜の海は寒かったです。
マスクやフィンを陸にいるときに選んで渡してくれますので、その時に必ずウェットスーツプリーズと言って借りておきましょう。冬で寒がりの人はラッシュガードを用意するか、ウェットスーツを２枚重ねにするなど対策が必要です。

2. 撮影は動画で。
静止画像では投稿のようにあまり綺麗には撮れません。フラッシュもまったく役に立ちません。防水カメラの動画で撮影するか、カメラ用防水ケースなどを用意し、動画で撮影するときれいに撮れます。容量の関係で投稿できませんが、とてもよく撮れました。

3. 酔いやすい人は酔い止め用意。
基本的には浮いているだけなので、泳ぎに自信がない方でも参加して大丈夫なアクティビティですが（夜の海なので暗いためドキドキします。そこは予め、理解しておくことで多少緊張は和らぐでしょう）
ただ、浮いているだけでも波で酔ったりしますし、船での移動は５分くらいですが、海上での説明時に酔う人もいます。座るより風の当たりやすい場所で立っていたほうが酔いにくい傾向があるようですが、心配な人は酔い止めを飲んでおきましょう。

4. 説明はすべて英語です。フィンをはいて歩き回らないことや、浮かんでいるときはマンタが来やすいように、足を水平に保つこと、フラッシュはマンタが嫌がる、トイレの場所など話をしれくれます。日本語は一切出てきませんので、英語が出来ない方は周りの動きを良く見て、行動しましょう。

5.　荷物はできるだけ少なく、貴重品はあまり持たないように。
船上ではほとんど荷物は放置状態ですので、できるだけ貴重品は持っていかないようにしましょう。事

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Overall pretty good, but....

Reviewed by: Tim Evans

Don't plan on going into this activity thinking you will be in your own kayak.

Oceans Kayaks, who provides the kayaks and tour guides, etc. DO NOT have sufficient amounts of single kayaks to appease their guests. We, as an adult family of four, were looking forward to going on this adventure in individual kayaks. My fiancee and I kayak often and my daughter also has taken to kayaking. We wanted singles and were never (especially when booking online) given the option of singles vs. doubles. When we arrived, we expressed our desire for singles and were brushed off by employees who did not want to think outside the box.

After much debate, we resigned ourselves to complete the activity and it was very enjoyable. We had great guides and we experienced quite a bit. We were hoping to snorkel a little longer, but we had a great time regardless.

We do recommend this activity, but only if you don't mind being forced to take doubles kayaks.

ハワイ島　シュノーケルクルーズ　SUP体験もできる充実ツアー！貸し切りプランあり＜午前／朝食・昼食付き＞ by フラカイ号

Dolphins are really cute. イルカがとってもかわいい

Reviewed by: ちび

It was late March, but it was cold.
Aside from our group, there were couples and families of foreign tourists. (I always wonder why they are so resilient to the cold...)
It was too cold to swim much.
However, dolphins came very close to our small cruiser, and they were so cute. We were able to take pictures.
For lunch, we had grilled hamburgers on the boat. They were delicious.
Since we went with about 20 people, it might feel lonely to join alone if you don't speak English.

3月下旬でしたが寒かったです。
私たちグループ以外はカップルやファミリーの外国人観光客でした。（いつも思いますが彼らはなぜ寒さに強いんでしょう・・。）
寒くてあまり海には入りませんでした。
ただ、イルカがクルーザー（小さい）のすぐそばまできていて、とてもかわいかったです。写真も撮れました。
ランチは船上でグリルのハンバーガーを食べました。美味しかったです。
20人くらいで行くので、英語ができないと一人参加だとさみしいかもしれません。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

snorkel シュノーケル

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We departed from the bay near the Sheraton. We went to the meeting place by rental car. The weather was very nice, and the sea was beautiful. Our family was the only Japanese group, but there were many participants, and it was full. There were many families participating. They quickly provided goggles with prescription lenses for those who are nearsighted. We were warned at the beginning not to wear fins until just before entering the water to avoid damaging the coral. Even if you can't swim well, they lend you life jackets and floaties, so you can enjoy without worry. On the way back, a video created by the crew of that day's activities is shown. This video was very well made. The crew only spoke English, but they were very friendly.

シェラトンのそばの湾から出発します。レンタカーで集合場所に行きました。とても天気がよく、海はとてもきれいでした。日本人は私たちの家族だけでしたが、参加者は多く、満員でした。家族での参加が多かったです。ゴーグルは近視でも度のはいったものをすぐかしてくれます。珊瑚を傷つけないように、フィンは海に入る直前まではいてはいけませんとはじめに注意されます。あまり泳げなくても、ライフジャケットと浮き輪をかしてくれるので、心配なく楽しめます。帰りの時間にクルーが作成したその日のビデオをが上映されます。このビデオはとても上手にとれていました。クルーは英語しかしゃべれませんが、とてもフレンドリーです。

Hula Kai Kona First Class Snorkel Tour - 2 Snorkeling Stops, Breakfast & Lunch

What a day!

Reviewed by: Lianne

We absolutely loved our day on the Hula Kai! Before we even left the harbour we saw a monk seal and spinner dolphins. A few minutes out, we came upon a pod of pilot whales then a few minutes later, another. The snorkel locations were wonderful, the crew great. We've been to the island several times and this was definitely the best snorkel/scuba experience we've had!

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

First Rate/Best Deal

Reviewed by: linda

I took my 85 year old mother who has some physical limitations, my 73 year old husband, and my self (62) on the midday (no meal) cruise and snorkeling adventure. It was heavenly! The staff gave a general, easy to understand lesson to all. When my mother got down the stairs she decided she did not want to go. The staff people told me to go ahead that they would take care of her. A few minutes later she was out viewing the reef with a tube and a box. My husband did the same. I was able to relax and enjoy without worries. Thank you so much for one of the most pleasurable things I have done!
