Keauhou Bay Manta Ray Night Dive Tour & Snorkel Adventure from Kona - Sea Quest
Great night snorkeling with mantas
Activity Date: 2018/10/30 | Posted on: 2018/11/01

Our tour was initially rescheduled due to inclement weather. Sea Quest was really professional and gave us a free GoPro rental to make up for the inconveniences. On the day of the tour, they prepped us with all the necessary gear (prescription snorkels, wet suits, regular snorkels, etc.) And gave us a brief overview of what to expect before we headed into the waters.
We saw about 5 mantas that night. They swam close by and it was a really cool experience. There were 2 sea Quest employees in the water with us helping us each step of the way whether it be to adjust the snorkels or retrieve a noodle. They also kept giving us information about the mantas to make the trip more enjoyable.
After about 45 min in the water it was a short ride back to shore where they had hot chocolate and bags of cookies waiting for us.
Over all a very fun experience. Would definitely recommend.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>
It's just right.
過不足ないです
Posted on: 2018/10/28

Since it was a "budget trip," I participated in the afternoon plan and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The weather was nice, and I had fun sailing on the yacht. We even encountered a pod of dolphins in Kealakekua Bay. There was also plenty of time for snorkeling. On the way back, we had a bit of rain, but thanks to that, we were able to see a beautiful rainbow.

The staff only spoke English, but they were very friendly and went around offering drinks and cookies. I think it’s a sufficient tour unless you’re looking for meals or other extras.

「貧乏旅行」だったのでアフタヌーン・プランに参加しましたが、堪能しました。

天気が良かったこともありますが、ヨットでのセーリングを楽しみ、ケアラケクア湾ではイルカの群れにも遭遇。シュノーケリングの時間も十分にありました。帰りは一雨ありましたが、そのおかげで綺麗な虹まで見ることができました。

スタッフは英語のみでしたが、非常にフレンドリーで、飲み物やクッキーを配ってまわっていました。食事やその他のプラス・アルファを求めるのでなければ、十分なツアーだと思います。

Deluxe Volcano Unveiled Tour and Golden Lava Cave Expedition [Not Available]
Private Lava Tube is the Highlight!!!!!
Posted on: 2018/10/26

This was the greatest experience ever! Our tour guide Justin was very knowledgeable and informative with every guests questions and the history of the island. We first drove to Mauna Kea Park and the weather was just perfect! Clear skies and a beautiful breeze. Once we arrived to the Volcano National Park, it was so nice to see the park reopened again. Beautiful scenery and but what took the cake was the private lava tube that only this activity provider has access to which definitely makes up for the fact that Thurston Lava Tube is still closed. The lava tube was breathtaking and the deeper you go in, the more treasure you unveil. THIS IS A MUST DO!!!

m.m

I made a reservation for the afternoon session, but I received a message the day before suggesting that it would be better to start earlier due to the weather. It's best to answer calls from unknown numbers.

Kevin was in charge, and he was really great, especially with his excellent Japanese! The kayak experience was wonderful; the horizon was beautiful, and I wanted to keep looking at it. The snorkeling was thrilling too, especially when a shark passed by, but I really enjoyed the great outdoors!

It's important to take measures against seasickness and sunburn, but since they speak Japanese, they quickly consider any health concerns if you communicate them. They also took photos for us as a service and sent them the same day.

I was very satisfied!

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Beautiful creatures
Activity Date: 2018/10/23 | Posted on: 2018/10/25

The team where good and provided for a fun filled evening. The rays are beautiful and we got a few spin moves and seen about 6 animals. I highly recommend the experience and the ocean is lovely and warm. The only downside my wife had never snorkel before and required some extra guidance and assistance that wasn’t given so I did my best to help. Better instructions would have helped.

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
First kayaking experience with the Hyokin Guide.
ひょうきんガイドでカヤック初体験
Activity Date: 2018/09/27 | Posted on: 2018/10/24

I was initially anxious about the meeting place since there were no buildings, but the guide arrived by truck, pulling the kayaks to the entry point to the sea. Accompanied by two pairs of beginner couples, including us and a Dutch couple, the guide adjusted to our slower pace and provided thorough explanations at various spots visible from the sea.

At the sea cave (which wasn't very deep), it was enjoyable to watch the Dutch man and the guide jump from the cliff (we declined to participate). Even when we capsized and fell into the sea, the guide calmly helped us back onto the kayak.

Since both pairs were beginners, we didn't go snorkeling but were simply informed about suitable spots. Although there was a bit of wind and waves, it was a fun first experience with enthusiastic and humorous explanations from the guide, all from a sea-level perspective.

集合場所が建物もなく不安でしたが、海へのエントリー場所に、積んだカヤックを引っ張ってトラックでガイド登場。
我ら初心者老夫婦とオランダ人カップルのふた組引き連れ、遅れがちの我々のペースに合わせ、海から見える場所場所で、丁寧な説明。
海中洞窟(それほど奥行きは無かったが)では、上の崖から飛び込み(オランダ人男性とガイドさんで、我々は辞退)も見ていても楽しいイベントでした。
転覆して海に落ちても、慌てず丁寧に、カヤックに引き上げてもらいました。
ふた組ともカヤック初心者のためか、シュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、てきせつな場所を教えてもらうだけでした。
風、波が少しあり疲れましたが、ひょうきんながら熱心な説明で、海から目線の楽しい初体験でした。

I had participated in a similar dolphin tour on Oahu, and it was great because we could see them from a very close distance and there were many of them. The beauty of the ocean was also wonderful, and it became a great memory. If you want to encounter dolphins with a high probability, I recommend this tour.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona
Amazing experience and great crew!
Activity Date: 2018/10/18 | Posted on: 2018/10/22

My husband and I went on the snorkel experience and it was the best! We saw about 15 manta rays, including one with a 12 foot wingspan, and probably close to 10 barrel rolls where they came within a few inches of us. Our crew worked hard to make sure we were comfortable and that we had a good time (even made us hot cocoa after we got out of the water). I can't say enough great things about Ocean Encounters- you might find a cheaper manta ray swim, but you won't find a better one.

A paradise of fish while snorkeling at a leisurely pace.
じっくりシュノーケリングでお魚パラダイス
Activity Date: 2018/10/04 | Posted on: 2018/10/21

First of all, this tour starts with a meeting point, so it was an adventure for us from the beginning. We left Hilton Waikoloa a little over an hour before the meeting time and arrived safely after about 50 minutes, but the parking lot in front of Fair Wind was already full. We were directed to a parking area deep in the woods across the way (which was just right in front). It was very difficult to find... However, my mother had checked other people's blogs, so if you're worried, you might want to look there.

We took a large boat to Kealakekua Bay. It was a one-hour boat ride, but it wasn't too bumpy, and we were able to have breakfast, so it went by quickly. There is a second floor, but since meals are served on the first floor, I recommend staying on the first floor.

Once we arrived at the bay, we could snorkel freely. There were no Japanese staff, but they made sure to provide fins and floaties. The floaties, which looked like sumo wrestling mawashi, were quite amusing, but they allowed us to snorkel for a long time, making it very comfortable.

I don't think there were any explanations in English about the fish or where to find them, so you can just immerse yourself in snorkeling. Some people were jumping into the sea from the slide, while others finished snorkeling early to have lunch on the boat or enjoy the scenery; everyone was very relaxed.

On the way back, I was hoping to see dolphins, but I didn't find any. However, when I heard a loud noise and looked towards the back of the boat, there was a man struggling with a fishing line that had a reaction. Everyone cheered, and when a large barracuda came out, the atmosphere on the boat was electric.

This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy their meals, snorkeling, and the scenery at a leisurely pace.

まずこのツアーは現地集合なのでそこから私たちにとっては冒険でした

湾につくと自由にシュノーケリング
日本人スタッフはいませんが、ヒレや浮き輪などちゃんと声をかけてくれます
相撲のまわしのような浮き輪がとても笑えますが、長い間シュノーケリング
出来るのでとても楽でした。
お魚の説明や、どこにいるよとかは特に英語でも説明はなかったと
思うので、ただただシュノーケリングに没頭できます
滑り台からジャンプして海に入ってる人や・早めにシュノーケリングを終えて
船内で昼食を食べてる人、景色を楽しんでる人それぞれで
とってもまったりしています。
帰る際には、イルカが見られるかもと思って探していましたが、見つからず、
大きな声がして船内の後方をみるとなんと、おじさんが反応のあった釣り糸と格闘中。みんなで応援して、大きなシーラが出てきたときは、船内は大盛り上がりでした。
ゆっくり、食事もシュノーケリングも景色も楽しみたい方にはおすすめのツアーです

him

It was my first dolphin tour. I encountered a pod of about 200 dolphins and was able to swim with them! When I entered the water, I could hear the dolphins' calls all around me, and I was moved as dolphins swam right past me. There were four opportunities to swim with the dolphins, and I was able to swim with them during all of those chances. I felt grateful to have come, as I was told that encountering this many dolphins is rare. It was truly an emotional and unforgettable experience.

初めてのイルカツアーでした。
約200頭程のイルカの群れに遭遇して、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました!海に入るとイルカの鳴き声がたくさん聞こえ、すごく近くをイルカが通り過ぎていき感動。イルカへのアタックチャンスは4回もあり、全てのアタックでイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。こんなにイルカと遭遇できるのはレアだと言われて来て良かったなぁと思いました。本当に本当に感動的で初めての体験ばかりでした。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーリングツアー <軽食付き/英語ガイド>
You cannot see sea turtles.
ウミガメは見れません
Activity Date: 2018/10/11 | Posted on: 2018/10/19

At the top of the tour introduction on the website, there is a photo of a sea turtle, so I thought I would be able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, but in reality, I didn't see any at all.

Even though the weather was good, the water clarity wasn't that high, and I couldn't experience snorkeling that was truly impressive.

There was an explanation on the way to the snorkeling point by boat, but it was all in English. I was shown a Japanese explanation, but I think that was probably just a part (the minimum information). I believe they were explaining various things, but as someone who struggles with English, I could hardly understand anything.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, we were allowed to jump into the sea from the boat and snorkel freely.

The guide was resting under a parasol on the boat. There was no explanation about where any fish were. I didn't even know how long we were allowed to snorkel.

After getting out of the water, we were given fruit (pineapple, apple, orange) and a small bag of snacks. (I was disappointed that this was the light meal...)

After that, we went by boat near a cave, but we couldn't enter the cave; we just looked at it from the boat. There was no Japanese explanation here either, so I didn't understand anything at all.

After that, we returned to the port by boat and disbanded. Given all this, I felt that the cost was quite high.

Moreover, there was no pick-up service, and I had to make my own way to the meeting point. Since I was staying at a hotel in the Mauna Lani area, it took about an hour to get to the meeting point.

その後は、ボートで港に戻って解散。

On my first experience, unfortunately, I couldn't meet a manta ray, but I was told I could retry for free, so I challenged myself again four days later! When we arrived at the spot, just before it got dark, a manta ray came by, and everyone hurriedly jumped into the sea. The manta ray came so close that it brushed against our bodies, opening its large mouth and feeding on plankton while spinning around several times. On that day, three manta rays showed up, and it was incredibly exciting. The weather was nice, so on the way back, we could see a sky full of stars, and the Milky Way was clearly visible, making it a doubly enjoyable experience. I am grateful to the Japanese guide for being so kind. I would like to participate again when I visit the Big Island. However, two friends who joined me on the first attempt got severely seasick, so they decided not to retry. While waiting for the manta rays on the boat, it can be quite nauseating as the boat sways, so I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication.

Participated on October 3, 2018.

1回目の体験で、残念ながらマンタに会う事ができませんでしたが、無料でリトライできると言われ4日後に再び挑戦!
ポイントに着くと、暗くなる前にマンタがやって来てくれ、皆慌てて海に飛び込みました。
体すれすれまでマンタが来て、大きな口を開けてプランクトンを何回も回転しながら食べてくれました。
この日は3枚のマンタがやってきてくれ、大興奮でした。
お天気も良かったので、帰りの船の中から満天の星が見え、天の川もくっきりと見えて2度おいしい体験ができました。
日本語ガイドの方にも親切にしていただけて、感謝しています。
またハワイ島に行った際には参加したいです。
ただ、1回目に一緒に参加した友人2人はひどく船酔いしてしまったのでリトライは断念しました。
マンタ待ちで、船上待機の際はかなり気持ち悪く船が揺れますので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いと思います。

I was looking forward to seeing the lava of Kilauea on the Big Island from an angle that can't be seen from the ground, but I was a bit disappointed as it was just smoke. However, when we entered Waipi'o Valley, it was breathtaking. I was very moved.

The pilot was also very nice.

As others in the group mentioned, we were hoping for a Japanese or Japanese-speaking pilot, but we had an English speaker instead. I think they should contact us in advance if they can't meet our request. If I had known, I would have chosen another company. It was a very good flight and the staff were great, so it was a bit disappointing to see that lack of transparency. Because of that, I am deducting one star.

地上からでは見られない角度からのハワイ島、キラウェアの溶岩が楽しみだったのですが煙のみで少しがっかりでした。
でも、ワイピオ渓谷に入って行ったときには圧巻。とても感激でした。

ドルフィン・クエスト イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実!キッズ向けプログラム<ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内>
It connected to the memories and growth of children.
子どもの思い出と成長に繋がった
Activity Date: 2018/10/09 | Posted on: 2018/10/12
A.M

The reservation indicated a duration of 10 minutes, but the overall time was about 30 minutes. The time to touch the dolphin was 10 minutes, which was sufficient for a three-year-old.

The process involved receiving explanations with other reservation groups, using a stuffed dolphin to demonstrate how to interact with the dolphins and what to be cautious about, which sparked the children's interest in a fun way. After that, two family groups began interacting with the dolphins, gently touching their backs and feeding them fish. While taking photos, we were also able to see the dolphins jump at times.

Although my child was scared, they were able to pet the dolphin, and it seems to have left a memorable experience for them.

Since taking photos with your own camera is not allowed (smartphones are also prohibited), you will need to purchase photos, which are not cheap. They are about the same price as photos bought at an amusement park, or slightly higher. The cost varies depending on whether you buy all the image data or select a certain number of photos.

If you want to keep photo costs down, it might be a good idea to ask a family member who is not participating to take pictures from outside the area. I ended up purchasing about three photo files because there was no one to take pictures for me. It became a wonderful memory.

予約内容は10分との表記でしたが、全体時間は30分くらいの時間だったと思います。イルカを触る時間が10分なのですが、三歳児くらいであればその程度で十分でした。

流れは、他の予約グループと説明を受け、
イルカのさわり方や注意することをイルカの
ぬいぐるみを使いながら、楽しく子どもの興味を沸かせていました。
その後、家族のグループ2つでそれぞれイルカと触れ合い開始。背中を優しく触ったり、魚をあげたり。写真を撮っていただきながら、時にはイルカのジャンプも見ることができました。

子どもは恐がりながらも撫でることができ、頑張った思い出として残っているようです。

自分のカメラで撮影をすることはNGなため(スマホもダメ)写真を買うことになりますが、安くはありません。アミューズメントパークで買う写真と同じくらいか、少し上くらい。
画像データまたは写真を全てか、選択した枚数で金額が変わります。

写真代を抑えたいのであれば、例えば他の参加しない家族に撮影をお願いするなどして、外のエリアから撮ってもらうのも手だと思います。
私は、撮ってくれる人が居なかったため写真データを3枚ほど購入しました。
良い思い出となりました。

Great crew, got us to the spot off the airport, lots of other boats there, lights on and after a while Manta Rays showed up. The cool part was when a 10-12 foot wide one did 3 manta rolls right in our faces. It was too much to hope for but it happened.

The manta rays' rolling was incredibly powerful!
大迫力だったマンタたちのローリング!
Activity Date: 2018/10/06 | Posted on: 2018/10/09

It takes about 30 minutes by boat from the port to Manta Point while enjoying the sunset. We lowered LED surfboards around the point to attract plankton and the manta rays that feed on them... and they appeared! After confirming their presence, we entered the water and snorkeled around the surfboards to observe the mantas. They also lent us noodles (floating poles), and we spent about 45 minutes in the water. It was an exhilarating experience to see two mantas rolling right in front of us! On the way back to the port after snorkeling, it can be chilly with just a swimsuit due to the wind. It was a good decision to rent a wetsuit, even though there was an additional fee.

港からマンタポイントまで30分ほど、夕陽を見ながら船で移動します。
ポイント周辺でLED付きのサーフボードをおろして、プランクトンと、これを食むマンタを呼ぶことしばし...。現れてくれました!
姿を確認してから海へ入り、サーフボードの周りでシュノーケリングしながらマンタ見学。ヌードル(浮きポール)も貸していただいて、45分くらい海に入っていました。
2 枚のマンタがローリングを繰り返すのを目の前で見ることができ、大興奮の体験でした!
シュノーケル後に港に戻るときは風も受けるので水着だけでは寒いと思います。追加料金が必要ですが、ウェットスーツを借りて正解でした。

I expected the manta was not seen only a little,but I think that nature is unavoidable because the opponent.
The staff are very friendly and made an effort.

We participated with two families. We were able to interact with dolphins, and the children were very happy. It was a valuable experience. They also take photos, so it's fine for everyone to join. Since towels are not provided, bringing your own is essential.

二家族で参加しました。イルカと触れ合うことが出来、子どもたちも大喜び。貴重な体験となりました。写真も撮ってくださるので、皆で参加しても問題ありません。タオルは無い為、持参必須です。

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
The waves were high, but...
波が高かったけど〜
Activity Date: 2018/10/04 | Posted on: 2018/10/07

We participated in the tour starting at 2:00 PM. The morning tour is about $50 more expensive and includes breakfast and lunch, and if you want transportation included, it’s an additional $20. Since we went by rental car, it cost us about $100 each. I’ve been on lunch-inclusive tours a few times, but I don’t have a great impression of meals prepared on the boat! I think the morning tours attract more customers due to the wave height, but the snorkeling spots are calm, so it’s reassuring. This tour definitely requires English proficiency; if you're not confident, having a Japanese guide is a safer option. Everything on the boat is in English, including explanations and safety instructions, so you need to pay attention to avoid danger! We didn’t see any dolphins, but there were plenty of fish!

午後便で、14:00時からのツアーに参加、午前中のツアーは朝食とランチが付いて50ドル程高くなり、送迎付きだと 更に20ドル程高くなります、私達は、レンタカーで行ったので、一人100ドル程、ランチ付きのツアーは何回か行きましたが、所詮 舟の中で作る食事、あまり良いイメージがありませんので!午前にお客が偏るのは、やはり 波に高さだと思いますが、シュノーケルをするスポットは、波が無いので安心できます、このツアーは英語力は絶対必要で、自信の無い方は、日本語ガイド付きが安心です、船内は全て英語、説明 注意などなど、ちゃんと聞かないと、危険なので!イルカはみれませんでしたが、魚はたくさんいましたよ〜

Swimming with wild dolphins was an absolutely amazing experience!
野生のイルカと一緒に泳げて、最高に楽しかったです!
Activity Date: 2018/09/15 | Posted on: 2018/10/06

I came to the Big Island of Hawaii for the first time with three beautiful single women from Japan. Since all of us, including myself, love the ocean, we were determined to go snorkeling while in Hawaii. Because this was a quick trip, I wanted to enjoy the ocean efficiently without renting a car, so I looked for snorkeling tours and found this tour to swim with wild dolphins.

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and we had a guide who was well-versed in the ocean and dolphin ecology. We had a wonderful time swimming with many dolphins. On our way out to sea, we encountered a very rare pilot whale, which was an exciting memory for all of us.

I definitely want to repeat this experience when I go back to the Big Island!

日本から独身の美女3人を引き連れて、初めてハワイ島に遊びに来ました。自分を含めて全員海が大好きなので、ハワイ島に来たら絶対にスノーケルをしようと思っていました。今回は弾丸旅行だったこともあり、レンタカーを借りずに効率的に海遊びをしたいと考え、ベルトラさんのスノーケリングツアーを探して、目に留まったのがこの野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーでした。

当日はお天気も良く、海やイルカの生態を知り尽くしているガイドさんにアテンドしていただき、本当にたくさんのイルカとともに楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。船で沖まで出る途中に、すごくレアなゴンドウクジラに遭遇して、みんなで興奮したのも良い思い出になりました。

またハワイ島に行ったら絶対にリピートしたいと思います!

Dolphin
イルカ
Activity Date: 2018/10/03 | Posted on: 2018/10/06

I was thrilled by the number of dolphins that exceeded my expectations.

The day we participated was incredibly lucky; since it was just my husband and me, we had a private tour and were able to set sail early. Within about five minutes of departure, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and we hardly moved the boat at all. We were able to stay in the water and watch the dolphins for a long time.

I was impressed by Daisuke and Kevin, who were in charge that day. Their overflowing love for the dolphins and their professionalism in entertaining the guests were truly remarkable.

There are many dolphin tours available, but I absolutely recommend the Aloha Kona Tour.

予想を上回るイルカの数に大興奮しました。

私たちが参加した日は、とてもラッキーな日で、主人と2人で貸切だったこともあり、早く出航することができたので、出航して5分ほどでイルカの群れに遭遇し、ボートで移動することはほとんどなく、ずっと海に入ってイルカを見ることができました。
この日担当して下さったダイスケさん、ケビンさん、2人のイルカへの溢れる愛情と参加したお客さまを楽しませることへのプロ意識の高さに感動しました。

イルカツアーはたくさんありますが、アロハコナツアーが絶対おすすめです。

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
It was a comfortable and enjoyable cruising and snorkeling experience.
快適で楽しいクルージング&シュノーケリングでした
Activity Date: 2018/09/29 | Posted on: 2018/10/02

Before participating, I had some concerns…
- Would the restrooms be cramped and dirty?
- Would it be uncomfortable on the boat?

There were no problems at all!
The restrooms were about the size of those in a one-room apartment in Tokyo, and there were two of them, making them very easy to use.
The boat was spacious, and the distance between guests was just right.

About 30 minutes after departure, we had our first cruising and breakfast!
The sea was beautiful, and we went snorkeling in a spot where the depth was about 12 to 15 meters.
It was my first time snorkeling in a place where I couldn't touch the bottom, so I was a bit nervous.
For breakfast, there was a small buffet with bread, omelet, and yogurt loaded with fruits. The fruits were so delicious that I had seconds.

After staying there for about 40 minutes, we moved to the second snorkeling point for more snorkeling and lunch.
We even encountered sea turtles!!
For lunch, we had hamburgers, and we could choose our own toppings. It was incredibly delicious, and I was thrilled.

On the way back, we cruised under a completely clear blue sky and arrived on time.

I want to go again!

参加する前に心配だった点…
・トイレは狭くて汚くないか?
・船の上は窮屈じゃないか?

全然問題なかったです!
トイレは東京の1ルームアパートのトイレくらいの広さのものが2箇所に設置されていてとても使いやすかったです。
船の上も広く、他のお客さんとの距離も適度でした。

出発してから30分位いどうして最初のクルージング&朝食!
海がきれいで底までが12~15mくらいのところでシュノーケリングをしました。
足が届かないところでのシュノーケリングは初めてだったのでドキドキしました。
朝ごはんはパン、卵焼き、フルーツたっぷりのヨーグルトなど、小さなビュッフェ形式でした。フルーツが美味しくておかわりしちゃいました。

そこで40分位滞在してから2個めのシュノーケリングポイントに移動して、シュノーケリング&昼食
ウミガメにも出会えました!!
お昼のハンバーグ、トッピングを自分で選べました。すごく美味しくて感激しました。

帰りは雲ひとつない快晴の空の下をクルージング、定刻通り到着しました。

また行きたいです。

It was my first experience, but the explanations and assistance were thorough, and I had a great time. However, I had some trouble understanding the directions to the meeting point since we gathered on-site.

初めての体験でしたが、丁寧に説明やアシストをしてくたさり楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、現地集合で行ったのですが、集合場所の案内がよくわからなかったのが少し困りました。
