4.5-Hour Sea Paradise Premium Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch

Highly recommanded

Reviewed by: Monica

Not like other cheaper speed boats, it was a smooth sailing catamaran. Even a pregnant woman was on the board. They offer a breakfast such as 3 kinds of bread, fruits and drinks. For lunch, I enjoyed make-my-own delicious sandwiches and chips. After snorkeling, they offered some cookies and hot drinks. Most of all, the staffs was so cheerful and helpful. On the way to the snorkeling spot, captain Morgan caught a huge ono. I specially want to thank Joey for teaching me how to snorkel. Thanks to her, I could enjoy the beautiful underwater. She made my day!
I highly recommand this fun trip to everyone.
Choose this tour with well-trained staffs.
This is the best tour ever!!!

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

The views of the sea and mountains were really great. It would have been even better if the guide had taken photos at the scenic spots. It felt good to be able to control the horse freely by holding the reins myself. At first, the horse seemed to mock me, but once I got used to it, it started to listen to me.

海や山の景色がすごくよかった。先導者が景色のいいところで写真を取ってくれるとなおよかった。自分で手綱をひいて自由に馬を操ることがができたのは気持ちよかった。なれるまでは馬に馬鹿にされたが慣れたらいうことを聞いてくれた。

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＞

I was able to see a manta ray up close! マンタを間近で見られた！

Reviewed by: しゅがー

I read the reviews here and made a reservation.

I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. Around noon, I stopped by a shopping center just a 5-minute drive away and checked in at the store. When I arrived at the designated location at 5:45 PM, I was explained in English that I should ask about the car that was parked there. Honestly, I didn't understand what they were saying, but I somehow got the gist through gestures.

When I arrived at the designated spot around 5:30 PM with the rental car, the same car was parked there, and they were handing out wetsuits in the parking lot. You try it on right away, and if it doesn’t fit, you can exchange it. So, you need to wear your swimsuit before going. The parking lot at the harbor is small, so we barely managed to park, but those who couldn't park had to leave their cars at the edge of the road.

I was told to put on the wetsuit and wait on the boat. On the boat, you can have snacks and fruits, but honestly, while waiting for the sun to set, I felt seasick from the waves and couldn't enjoy it. They also serve cold juice if you ask. There was a restroom on the boat. I was told that warm drinks would be served last because it gets cold after you warm up and then enter the water.

To enter the water, I was instructed to hook a noodle (a float) around my ankle and enter horizontally. I only understood a little English, but by watching gestures and other guests, I managed to figure it out. We were the only Japanese people there.

When we finally turned on the lights and entered the sea, a manta ray swam right past me the moment I got in. You’re not supposed to touch the manta rays, but they were gracefully swimming close by, feeding on the surface. I was truly amazed to see them up close. In total, about five manta rays swam nearby. While I was watching one manta ray on my right, I almost collided with another one that approached from the left without me noticing. Watching the manta rays swim elegantly in front of me made me forget about my seasickness.

I was in the water for about 45 minutes, and I only missed seeing manta rays for about 5 minutes. However, it was late March, and it was incredibly cold; my hands were numb during the last 10 minutes. Just floating in the water made the cold and seasickness tough to handle. I was wearing a wetsuit over my rash guard and swimsuit leggings, so I only felt cold towards the end, but my husband was just in a swimsuit and a short-sleeved wetsuit, and he seemed to be shivering uncontrollably after just 10 minutes.

When the time was up, we got back on the boat and had some snacks and warm drinks. They served cocoa, but since I was feeling very seasick, I opted for warm green tea. Once I dried off on the boat, I felt much warmer and better. We returned the snorkels and wetsuits on the boat, and when we arrived at the harbor, we just dispersed.

I think if you come to the Big Island, you absolutely should go on this tour. I believe it’s fine even if you don’t speak English, but for those who are anxious, a Japanese tour might be more reassuring. We thought since we came all the way to Hawaii, we should sign up for this tour, and I’m glad we did.

As advice, it would be great to have a waterproof camera and an underwater flashlight.

ここで口コミを見て、予約しました。

シェラトンホテルに泊まっていました。そこから車で5分のショッピングセンターに寄ったお昼ごろに、お店に立ち寄りチェックインをしました。夕方5：45に指定の場所に来たら、この車が止まっているからたずねてね、というようなことを英語で説明されました。正直、何を話しているかわからなかったですが、何となく身振り手振りで伝わりました。

レンタカーで、指定の場所に5：30ごろに行くと、先ほどの車が止まっていて、ウェットスーツの貸し出しを駐車場で行っていました。すぐに着てみて、無理そうだったらサイズ交換といった感じですので、水着は着用してから行く必要があります。港の駐車場は狭いので、私たちはぎりぎり駐車できましたが、駐車できなかった人は、路上の端に駐車していました。

ウェットスーツを着て、船上で待つように言われました。船上では、スナック菓子やフルーツが食べられますが、正直、日が沈むまで待つ時間、波に揺られ酔ってしまい、それどころではありませんでした。つめたいジュースなども頼めば出してくれます。トイレも船の中にありました。
暖かい飲み物は、身体が温まってから水に入ると寒いから、最後に出されるといった説明がありました。
入り方は、ヌードルと言われるウキを足首にひっかけて、身体を水平にして入るようにと言われました。何となくしか英語がわかりませんでしたが、身振り手振りや、他のお客さんを見ているとわかります。日本人は私たちだけでした。

いざ、ライトをつけて海に入りました。入った瞬間から、目の前をマンタが通り過ぎました。マンタにさわってはいけませんが、本当にすれすれのところをくるくるとまわって餌を食べていました。こんなに間近で見られるなんて、本当に感動しました。
結局5匹ほどのマンタが近くで泳いでいました。右で泳いでいるマンタを見ていると、左から迫ってきたマンタに気づかず、思わずぶつかりそうになりました。目の前で優雅に泳ぐマンタたちを見ていると、船酔いも忘れてしまいました。
４５分ほど入水していますが、マンタが見られなかった時間は5分ほどだけでした。ただ、3月下旬でしたが、ものすごく寒くて、最後の10分ほどは手がかじかんで、感覚がなくなっていました。
浮いているだけなので、寒さと船酔いはつらかったです。
ただ、私はラッシュガードと水着のレギンスの上からウェットスーツを着ていたからか、最後のほうだけ寒さがつらかったですが、旦那は水着にウェットスーツ(全て半そで半ズボン丈)だけだったので開始10分後から震えが止まらないようでした。

時間が来たので船に上がり、スナック菓子や暖かい飲み物をいただきました。ココアが配られましたが、私は船酔いがひどかったので暖かい緑茶をいただきました。船上で体を乾かすと、だいぶ温まり気分がよくなりました。船上でシュノーケルとウェットスーツを返し、港についたら、そのまま流れ解散です。

ハワイ島に来たら、絶対にこのツアーに行くべきだと思いました。英語ができなくても、問題ないと思いますが、不安な方は日本語のツアーの方が安心かなと思いました。わたしたちはせっかくハワイに来たのだから、と思いこのツアーに申し込みました。ここにしてよかったと思います。

アドバイスとしては、水の中でとれるカメラと水中の懐中電灯があるといいです。

ハワイ島 サーフィンレッスン　カハルウビーチパークで波乗り体験！マンツーマンのプライベートレッスンもあり＜英語インストラクター／現地集合＞

Perfect for first-time children. 初めての子供たちには最適

Reviewed by: けんけん

Since we were in Hawaii, I decided to let my middle school son and college daughter take their first surfing lesson. We went to the registration office, which was very close to our hotel, received some basic instructions, borrowed rash guards and sea socks, and then headed to the beach as directed. It was a group lesson, but there were no other participants besides my kids, so it turned into a private lesson. We spent about an hour in the water getting instruction, and the waves were just right for beginners. It was a perfect amount of time that left the kids feeling pleasantly tired, and we all enjoyed it just enough.

せっかくのハワイなので、中学生の息子と大学生の娘に初めてサーフィンレッスンを受けさせてみました。ホテルからすぐ近くの受付所に行き、簡単な指導を受け、ラッシュガードとシーソックスをかり、案内された通り自分で現地に向かいました。グループレッスンでしたが、自分の子供たち以外に参加者がおらず、実質のプライベートレッスンとなりました。海に出て１時間位指導してもらいましたが、初心者にちょうど良い波で、かつちょうど疲れるくらいで終了し、参加した子供たちも見ている我々も、ほどいい感じで楽しめました。

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner

Must do volcano tour

Reviewed by: Pete

On Friday March 16th, 2018 my family and I attended the Deluxe Volcano Night Lava Viewing with Dinner at Kilauea Lodge & Stargazing Tour that also included the coffee trip to the Kona Joe Coffee Farm, Punaluu Bakery and the Black sand beach. To start, I have to say our guide Uncle Jim made the trip well worth the time and money we invested. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and most of all both engaging and entertaining. From the history, folklore and ancient stories to the general knowledge of Hawaiian culture there was rarely a moment where we were not enjoying the tour. We started out from our resort and Jim began to answer our questions and tell us stories of the landscape (lava, terraforming and the effects of adding green spaces to the resorts on the climate) and a Captain Cook story. As we moved on and picked up the other guests the stories continued as he pointed out various points of interest and beaches we may want to visit on our own. Some great aspect to the tour were the mythical stories of the gods and goddesses and how they actually mirror what it believed to be the realities of the Hawaiian Islands today. Each of the stops we made were better than promised, lunch and dinner were both great and Uncle Jim having a telescope for the night time volcano viewing was great. Some of the highlights from our perspective were walking down a lava tube, walking through the steam vents, picturesque picnic lunch and the gathering of stones to gift to the volcano later in the day with a chant led by Uncle Jim. And I can’t forget the smell of the Huli Huli chicken BBQ that he teased us with that I never did actually get back to try, maybe on our next visit. I would recommend this as a must do tour on your trip to the big island and ask for Uncle Jim, he will make the tour that much better.

You can trust Daisuke and the captain to take care of it! だいすけさんとキャプテンに、任せて安心！

Reviewed by: も〜〜

Daisuke really loves dolphins, and that came across clearly. When I saw Daisuke swimming with the dolphins, he looked just like one of them (laughs). I have some snorkeling experience, but I was anxious in deep water where I couldn't touch the bottom. Daisuke was incredibly considerate, holding my hand at times and guiding me to the best positions. Thanks to him, I encountered many dolphins. When I was focused on looking ahead, he would quickly let me know if there were dolphins behind us, so I didn't miss anything! He was more persistent than other tour boats.

Even for someone like me who isn't great with speed, the veteran captain's driving was reassuring, and I didn't feel scared at all. I recommend this company's tour to those who might be a bit nervous.

だいすけさんは、本当にイルカが好きなんだなぁって、伝わって来ました。だいすけさんがイルカと泳いでいる姿は、イルカに見えましたもん（笑）シュノーケルの経験はありますが、足のつかないところは不安な私に気遣い120%で、所々手を引いてベストポジションに連れて行っていただきました。お陰様で、たくさんのイルカに遭遇出来ました。前ばかり向いていると後ろにいたりするのですが、後ろにいるよ〜〜とか、すかさず教えてくれるので、見逃しません！他ツアーの船よりも粘ってくれます。
スピードが苦手な私でも、ベテランキャプテンの運転は安心感があって、ちっとも怖くなかったです。ビビリの方にもこの会社のツアーをお勧めします。

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

A must-try experience. 一度は体験するべき

Reviewed by: KI・RA・TO

We signed up for a one-and-a-half-hour plan for beginners as a family. We drove to the ranch with a rental car. The sign is simple and easy to overlook. Since it's a one-way road, it’s difficult to make a U-turn if you miss it. In March, it was a bit chilly, and the weather was partly cloudy. When we mentioned our reservation name, they provided us with helmets, jumpers, and a waist pouch for valuables (free of charge). After a brief lesson on how to use the reins, we set off immediately under the guidance of the instructor. The highlands offered a refreshing feeling with a 360-degree view. If the weather had been good, we might have been able to see the ocean, but unfortunately, it was cloudy and obscured. The horses were calm and moved slowly while grazing along the way, so I think even beginners can participate with confidence. While Kualoa Ranch on Oahu is nice, the spacious grasslands are unique to the Big Island.

午前中の1時間半のプランで、初心者ばかりの家族で申し込みしました。牧場まではレンタカーで向かいました。目印の看板はシンプルで見落としがちです。一本道なので通り過ぎるとＵターンが難しいです。3月は少し肌寒く、天気は薄曇りでした。予約している名前を告げると、ヘルメットとジャンパーと貴重品を入れるウエストポーチを貸してくださり(無料）、簡単な手綱の使い方を教わると、インストラクターのお姉さんの引率で即出発です。360度見渡す限り高原で、清々しい気持ちになります。天気が良いと海まで見られたかもしれませんが、あいにくの曇り空で霞んでいて見えませんでした。馬は大人しく、途中草を食べながらゆっくり進みますので、初心者の方でも安心して参加できると思います。オアフ島のクアロアランチも良いですが、広々とした草原はハワイ島ならではないでしょうか。

At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling or swimming, and I made a lot of splashing sounds, which limited my visibility, making it difficult to see the pod of dolphins swimming by.

The key is to enter the water quietly, just float (don't swim), and look around curiously underwater.

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

You have plenty of time. Make sure to prepare well with motion sickness medication and measures against the cold. 時間たっぷりあります。酔い止め・寒さ対策など準備はしっかりと～

Reviewed by: たまこ

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel right in front of Kailua Pier, so it was easy to walk there for the 7:30 AM meeting. Once on the boat, there was a buffet area with bread and fruit, and coffee and water were also available for free.

After about 40 to 50 minutes of traveling along the bay, they provided explanations about various buildings and scenery, all in English. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. The Kanoa II is a large catamaran, but the swaying in the open sea was quite significant. There were about 40 passengers, and it seemed that around 20% of them looked a bit green. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, all passengers were gathered on the first floor for about 10 minutes of safety instructions, also in English. They mentioned that in case of an emergency, the horn would sound five times, so we should return to the boat immediately, not to stand on the coral, and not to stray too far from the boat. I think as long as you don't act too differently from those around you, you'll be fine. The snorkeling point is about 15 meters deep and incredibly clear and beautiful. There are quite a few fish, but the water is cold! They seem to rent out wetsuits for a fee, so if you're not confident, it might be a good idea to borrow one. I gave up after about 20 minutes of swimming due to the cold and the waves, and returned to the boat early. The boat stays here for about an hour, and it might be tough for those who are sensitive to motion.

For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers and vegetables on the spot, and you can make your own cheeseburger at the buffet. It was quite delicious! If you're not feeling seasick, definitely give it a try (laughs).

On the way back, it takes about another hour to return to Kailua Pier.

The boat is large and has a flushing toilet, which someone mentioned is much cleaner than many public restrooms. There’s a bar area, and soft drinks seem to be free. The staff comes around to each table to ask if you need any drinks. Smoothies and cocktails appear to be for a fee.

Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the handsome and beautiful staff frequently checked on us, so we were able to relax without worry. The sea water is cold, but the wind on the way back is also quite chilly. If you're in a wet swimsuit, you're bound to catch a cold. I recommend bringing something to wear over it, like a windbreaker.

カイルア桟橋の目の前のキングカメハメハホテルに泊まっていたので、朝7時半の集合も何の苦もなく歩いて行けました。
船に乗り込むと、ビュッフェコーナーにパンとフルーツが置いてあり、コーヒーやお水も含め、取り放題です。
出発して40分～50分ほど、湾に沿って移動をし、その間いろんな建造物や風景の説明をしてくれるのですが、すべて英語です。雰囲気だけ楽しみました。
カノアII号は大きな双頭船ですが、外洋の揺れはかなり大きく、乗客は40名ほどいたでしょうか、そのうち2割ほどはグロッキーになっていたように見えました。乗船する1時間ほど前には酔い止めをしっかり飲んで参加されることをお勧めします。

シュノーケリングポイントに着くと、乗客全員が1階に集められ、注意事項の説明が10分ほどあります。これもすべて英語です。
緊急の時はホーンを5回鳴らすからすぐに船に戻ってね、サンゴの上には立たないでね、船からあまり離れないでね、後いろいろ言ってたと思うのですが、まぁ周りの人とあまり異なる行動をしなければOKかと思います。
シュノーケリングポイントは、深さ15メートルぐらいあるでしょうか。さすがに澄んでいてとてもキレイです。お魚もそこそこいます。ただ、水が冷たい！！
有料でウェットスーツも貸し出しているようなので、自信のない方は借りた方がいいかも。私も20分ほど泳いで寒さと波の高さにギブアップです。早々に船に引き上げました。
船はここで1時間ほど停泊しています。ずっと揺れてますのでつらい人にはつらいかも。

ランチはスタッフがその場で焼いてくれたハンバーグや野菜がビュッフェコーナーに並び、自分でチーズバーガーを作って食べます。かなり美味しかったですよ！酔ってなければぜひ召し上がってください（笑）。

そして帰りはまた小一時間ほどかけてカイルア桟橋に戻る感じです。

船は大きくてトイレも水洗、どなたかが書いていましたがそんじょそこらのトイレよりよっぽどキレイです。
バーコーナーがあって、ソフトドリンクは無料のようです。スタッフが各テーブルを回って飲み物いらないか？と聞きに来てくれます。スムージーやカクテルは有料のようです。

参加者のうち、日本人は私達だけでしたが、美男美女のスタッフがしょっちゅう様子を見に来てくれるので、気にせず過ごせました。
海の水も冷たいですが、行き帰りの風もかなり寒いです。濡れたままの水着だと漏れなく風邪をひきそうです。ウィンドブレーカーなど、上に羽織るものを持参される事をお勧めします。

Kohala Sunset Whale Watching Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Great Cruise makes for Perfect Evening

Reviewed by: Michael D

We were picked up from our resort hotel at the Hilton Waikoloa. This was the only sunset whale watch cruise I could find that was actually in Kohala (why go back down to Kona when you're staying in Kohala?), and we were not disappointed.

The pupus were solid and kept us full enough to grab a late dinner after. The drinks were plentiful with lots of choices. Best of all, the skipper knew what he was doing and found us some whales and dolphins. He even got the dolphins to swim alongside/under the boat, which was a truly unique experience to lie on the net, a couple feet above a family of dolphins swimming full speed.

I know they cannot control the animals or the weather, but we lucked out on both fronts. Would recommend!

Fun experience!

Reviewed by: Amber

Captain Steve and Sam were great! They were very knowledgeable and took great care of our family. The snorkeling was wonderful and we were able to see a lot of different species, including sea turtles and a spotted eagle ray.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Nice way to see more of the island!

Reviewed by: MTTravelers

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. The food was good, the entertainment enjoyable, and nice fellow travelers to visit with - all made for a nice evening. Cruising down the coast was a good was to see more of the island especially the Captain Cook monument. The only negative - the weather and unfortunately, no one has control over that.

Wild dolphins & Kealakekua
Snorkeling

On Dave's boat, it was just my son and me. Dave searched for dolphin spots, and with his signal of "JUMP IN!", we jumped in multiple times. When the pod of dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and headed to the next spot, laughing. We dove about 7 or 8 times and finally encountered a pod of over 50 dolphins! The snorkeling afterward was also amazing!

シュノーケリング

ガイドのDaveのボートには息子と私の2人だけ
イルカのポイントをデイブが探し「JUMP IN! 」の合図で何度も取り込んでは、イルカの群れが行ってしまうとまたボートに上がり次のポイントへ笑。7、8本はダイブし最後は50頭以上の群れに遭遇！その後のシューノーケリングも最高！

Winter Special Whale Watching 冬の特典 ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: マリちゃん

I couldn't see any big jumps, but I was able to see spouts near the boat multiple times. The guide spoke English, but they showed us a Japanese explanation file. It was also nice to be able to view Mauna Kea from the sea.

大きなジャンピングは見れませんでしたが、何度も船の近くで潮吹きを見ることができました。
ガイドは英語でしたが、日本語の解説ファイルを見せてくれました。
マウナケア山を海から眺めることもできて良かったです。

6名限定！ハワイ島　野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー＜午前／英語ガイド／軽食付＞

I saw a dolphin. イルカが見えた

Reviewed by: ヤッキー

I chose this tour because the meeting place was close to the hotel. The guide didn't speak any Japanese at all, so I had to figure things out on my own. Since it was my first time snorkeling, I struggled with how to use the equipment and wasn't able to swim with the dolphins (crying). The ocean was beautiful.

集合場所が宿泊ホテルから近かったので、このツアーを選びました。
ガイドさんは日本語は全くダメだったので、なんとなく察して動きましたが、
シュノーケルは初めてだったので使い方がわからずもたついてしまい、イルカと泳ぐことができませんでした（泣）。
海はきれいでした。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～3月／午前／軽食付き／ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発＞

I was able to fully enjoy nature. 自然を満喫できました

Reviewed by: アイクミ

The morning cruise was wonderful, blessed with great weather. A rainbow appeared, the sky was beautiful, and it felt great just to see people doing yoga on the beach or taking a walk. Once we headed out, we saw whales swimming in the ocean everywhere.

These are completely wild whales, right? I felt like I was in the great outdoors and lost track of time. The boat rocked quite a bit, so I couldn't take photos myself, but there was someone on board with a high-performance camera with a telephoto lens who captured some amazing shots. Everyone got the data from that person and we excitedly talked as if we had taken the photos ourselves.

The cruise also included drinks and light snacks, making it a very satisfying experience.

朝のクルーズは、天気に恵まれて、素晴らしいものでした。虹が出て、空の景色は良いし、浜辺ではヨガをやる人達がいたり、散歩するだけでも気持ち良かったです。さて、沖へ出て、海を泳ぐクジラがあちこちに居ました。
これって、完全に野生の鯨ですよね。なんか、大自然の中にいるんだ！という感覚になって、時間を忘れました。けっこう船が揺れたので、自分では写真は撮れませんでしたが、同乗してた人の中にかなり高性能の望遠レンズ付きカメラを持ってた人が、素晴らしいショットを取っていて、みんなその人からデータを貰って、あたかも自分が撮ったみたいな話をして盛り上がりました。
飲み物や軽食も付いていて、とても満足なクルーズでした。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

This evaluation is based solely on the weather this time. あくまでも今回の天気を含んだ評価です。

Reviewed by: きひろ

I rated this experience as such because it was held on a very cloudy day.

First, we went whale watching (we saw several whales, including pairs and mother-calf combinations. A baby whale even came right up next to the boat). Then we experienced rafting on a military boat that holds 18 people (it was thrilling with a sense of speed, including moments where we sped towards the coastal cliffs and made U-turns at the last second). Lastly, we went snorkeling (we saw beautiful corals and small fish, and the water clarity was high).

There are three attractions: whale watching, rafting, and snorkeling, and any one of them is worth participating in. Some elderly participants chose not to snorkel.

My rating is primarily due to the poor weather, but the content of the attractions was thoroughly satisfying.

今回はどん曇りの中催行のためこの評価にしました。
内容はまず、ホエールウオッチング(見れました。何頭も。ペアや親子の組み合わせ等。子クジラはボートの真横まで上がってきました。)。18人乗りの軍用ボートによるラフティング(スピード感もありスリルは味わえます。海岸の崖に向かってスピードを上げ、直前でUターン等もあり)。シュノーケル(綺麗なサンゴや小魚等見られます。透明度も高いです。)
ホエールウオッチング、ラフティング、シュノーケルの３つのアトラクションがありどれか1つが目的でも利用価値はあります。高齢の方は、シュノーケルはしない方もいました。
あくまでも天気が良くなかったからの評価であり、アトラクションの内容は十分に満足できる内容です。
