Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons
Group lesson
Activity Date: 2018/04/04 | Posted on: 2018/04/08

The kids had fun. However, next day they wanted to try on their own and could not time the waves. I would add a focus on teaching the kids when to start peddling. But average it was good for the first timers.

Aloha All,
Thank you for the review, glad to hear the kids had fun. And happy to hear the kids wanted to try on their own. Learning how to read the ocean and time the waves for most takes years of experience in the ocean. We tell novice surfers who are serious about learning how to surf and become avid surfers, do not get discouraged- keep at it. It takes time to develop the skills to read and feel the ocean and develop the instincts to really hone in on. But keep at it, that's what our Hawaiian lifeguards and avid watermen are there to provide for everyone and we appreciate you all joining us! We are born and raised in the islands and live and breathe the amidst the ocean to share that experience with as many people as we can- it is not something you can learn rapidly- but we encourage surfers to keep at it and remember you will progress with the more time you put into it.

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

Activity Date: 2018/02/19 | Posted on: 2018/04/08
RTW

On February 19, 2018, we had an early morning plan. We stayed at Hilton Waikoloa. We took a taxi to the meeting point. Although Uber is available on the Big Island, there were so few cars that I wasn't sure we would make it on time, so we arranged a taxi through the hotel. On the way back, we were able to use Uber. The taxi cost about $120 for an hour, while Uber was $72. Uber is cheaper!

The day before, there was an unusual thunderstorm, but the weather on the day itself was perfect. There were only two participants, my daughter and me. It was both of our first times kayaking, but thanks to our guide (I’m sorry, I forgot her name. She was a kind woman.), we managed to move forward. Once we ventured a little out into the open ocean from Keauhou Bay, the scenery changed completely. All we could see was the blue sea, sky, and horizon. We even spotted a whale's tail in the distance (quite far away). After paddling in the open ocean for a while (about 20 minutes?), we finally reached the sea cave. Honestly, it wasn't very large, but the sound and intensity when the waves entered the cave were amazing. We spent some time observing right in front of the cave, keeping our position by moving the kayak back and forth with the waves. After that, we returned to Keauhou Bay. By then, I had finally gotten used to paddling the kayak, and it became smooth without needing to exert too much effort. We took breaks here and there, relaxing and letting ourselves be carried by the gentle waves. Once back in the bay, we went snorkeling. There weren't many colorful fish, but we saw schools of fish and some yellow fish that were in the hotel lagoon.

After finishing, we changed in the restroom at the Sheraton Hotel, wandered around the hotel, and just as we were about to catch an Uber, we got one and headed back. We arrived at the hotel before 1 PM.

Kayaking was not as difficult as I had thought, and it was very stable as long as you kept it steady. I highly recommend it.

2018年2月19日、早朝プラン。
ヒルトンワイコロアに宿泊。集合場所まではタクシーにしました。ハワイ島ではUBERも使えるのですが、いかんせん数が少ないために集合時間に間に合う確証がなかったため、ホテルでタクシーを手配しました。帰りはUBER使えました。タクシーが約1時間で120ドル、UBERは72ドルでした。UBER安い!
前日まれにみる雷雨でしたが、当日の天気は最高でした。参加者は私と娘の二人のみ。二人ともカヤックは初めてでしたが、ガイドさん(すみません、お名前失念してしまいました。女性の優しい方です。)の懇切丁寧な指導のおかげでなんとか前に進みます。ケアウホウ湾から外洋に少しだけですが出ると、景色が一変。青い海と空と水平線しか見えません。遠くにクジラの尾も見えました(かなり遠いです)。しばらく(20分くらい?)外洋を進み、いよいよ海中洞窟です。正直、スケールは大きいとは言えませんが、波が洞窟に入るとすごい音と迫力です。しばらく洞窟の真ん前で見学。波に合わせてカヤックを前後させ位置をキープします。その後ケアウホウ湾へ戻ります。やっとカヤックを漕ぐことに慣れてきて、無理な力を入れなくてもスムーズに進むようになりました。所々で休憩タイム。ゆったりとした波に身を任せてリラックスです。湾に戻ってからはシュノーケリング。あまりカラフルな魚はいませんでしたが、群れている魚たちがいたり、ホテルのラグーンにいる黄色い魚も見れました。
終了後、シェラトンホテルのトイレで着替え、ホテル内をぶらつき、ちょうどUBERが捕まったので帰ってきました。ホテルには13時前に着きました。

カヤックは思っていたほど難しくなく、また普通にしていれば非常に安定しています。お勧めです。

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner
Best day of the trip
Activity Date: 2018/04/01 | Posted on: 2018/04/04

The day itself started with a local Kona coffee plantation visit that included how the coffee trees are grown, picked, sorted, and roasted. Next stop was a roadside fruit stand where we were introduced to some island fruits and veggies. There was a good drive to the furthest south bakery in the U.S. where our tour guide Grant filled the drive time giving us the layout of the island. From there we visited a black sands beach and looked out for sea turtles. After the beach, we headed to Volcano Park to see the volcano during day light hours and checkout the Dr Jagger museum. Then the dinner... food was good and we had a chance to talk to other members on the tour. This led to the sun setting and the final activity... the volcano at night. The glow of the cauldron is amazing in of itself, but Grant pulled out a telescope and we not only got a close up view of the spattering lava, he also was able to record it on our phones!
Grant was a phenomenal tour guide! He was personable, full of facts and information, and delivered them in a fun, witty way. From the moment of being picked up, Grant was pointing plants and notable sights to the left and the right the entire time we were in the tour van.

4.5-Hour Sea Paradise Premium Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch
Highly recommanded
Activity Date: 2018/03/31 | Posted on: 2018/04/03

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.

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.

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!
Activity Date: 2018/03/26 | Posted on: 2018/04/01

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!グループからマンツーマンのプライベートレッスンあり<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
Activity Date: 2018/03/16 | Posted on: 2018/03/30

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。

For our son, who loves the ocean and marine life, it was a precious experience that he will never forget. It was a wonderful time where we could truly experience the deep charm of the Big Island of Hawaii. Thank you very much!

I was happy to see manta rays up close. I got seasick on the boat ride to the manta viewing point and had to give up and return to the boat while watching the manta rays. However, the manta rays were adorable, and the guide was very kind and informative. It was very cold on the return boat ride since it was nighttime.

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner
Must do volcano tour
Activity Date: 2018/03/16 | Posted on: 2018/03/27

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!
Activity Date: 2018/03/23 | Posted on: 2018/03/26

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。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ
Be careful of seasickness!
船酔いには注意!
Activity Date: 2018/03/21 | Posted on: 2018/03/25

This tour was just for our family of three. I would like to say we enjoyed the open sea, but I suffered from severe seasickness and was not in a state to enjoy it. Also, it required more physical stamina than I expected, so you should go in good health. I appreciate the staff's thoughtfulness. If you're in good shape, I think the tour itself can be a fun and great experience.

今回のツアーは我々家族3人だけでした。気持ちよく海原に・・・と言いたいところですが、船酔いがひどく、楽しめるような状態ではありませんでした。また、思ったより体力も必要で、体調万全にして行くべきです。スタッフの方の心遣いには感謝いたします。ツアー自体は、体調さえよければ、楽しくいい経験になると思います。

I saw this tour on TV and decided to participate, and I'm really glad I did. Thank you so much, Kevin! The weather was great on the day of the tour, perfect for kayaking (sunscreen is a must).

It was easy for me because my husband, who came with me, has canoeing experience, but the distance to the cave is somewhat considerable. It might be a bit tough for beginners. However, the guide keeps a close eye on everyone, so I don't think you need to worry. The guide also took photos at various points and sent them to us via email later, so it's fine if you don't have a camera. I put my smartphone in a waterproof case and hung it around my neck, and that was enough for both videos and photos.

There’s snorkeling as well, but it lasts quite a while. I have low muscle mass and get cold easily, so I got out of the water early, but they can accommodate individual needs, so if you're a woman who gets cold easily, you can stop anytime (the sea is beautiful and you can see various creatures). Also, we were treated to pineapple and snacks on the kayak (thank you!).

When we returned, there were no showers, so we changed at the hotel restroom next to the meeting place. It was mid-March, but it wasn't particularly cold. I had a lot of fun and would love to participate again if I have the chance! Thank you very much for everything!

私はテレビでこのツアーを見て参加を決めましたが、参加してよかったな、と本当に思います。
ケビンさん、大変お世話になりました!当日は天気が良くてカヤック日和でした(日焼け止めは必須です)。
私は一緒に行った夫がカヌー経験者なので楽でしたが、洞窟まではまあまあ距離があります。初心者だとちょっと大変かもしれません。でもその辺はガイドの方がちゃんと見てくれていますので、心配いらないと思います。ガイドさんはところどころ写真を撮って下さって、あとでメールで送っていただけるので、最悪カメラはなくても大丈夫です。私はスマホを防水ケースに入れて首から下げて、それで動画も写真もとりましたが、それで十分でした。
シュノーケルもありますが、割と時間長めです。私は筋肉が少なくて身体が冷えやすいので、寒くなって途中で海から上がりましたが、そこら辺は個人に合わせて貰えるので、女性で寒がりの人はすぐにやめてもいいかと思います(海は綺麗で色んな生き物が見られます)。あと、途中でカヤック上でパイナップルとおやつまでご馳走になりました(ありがとうございます)。
帰る時はシャワーはないので、集合場所の隣のホテルのトイレで着替えて帰る感じです。
3月半ばですが、特に寒くはありませんでした。とても楽しかったです。機会があればまた参加したいです!この度は大変お世話になりました!ありがとうございました(*^_^*)

Activity Date: 2018/03/03 | Posted on: 2018/03/25

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。

I was so moved by my experience swimming with dolphins on Oahu that I made it my number one goal to participate on the Big Island as well. There were so many different types of dolphins, and they seemed to swim more freely and naturally than the ones on Oahu! The number of dolphins was incomparable!

With Captain Hitomi and guide Daisuke as a fantastic duo, the journey was enjoyable and I felt safe throughout. I was able to go into the ocean multiple times and swim with the dolphins! I will definitely participate again when I come back to the Big Island!

オアフ島でドルフィンスイムを経験した感動から、ハワイ島でも1番の目的で参加しましたが、イルカの種類もたくさん、オアフ島のイルカよりものびのび、ナチュラルに楽しそうに泳いでくれるイルカに感動でした!!
オアフ島とは比べものにならない群の数でした!
キャプテンひとみさんとガイドのダイスケさんの名コンビで道中も楽しく、安心して過ごせ、また何回も海に入らせて頂きイルカと泳がせてもらうことができました!!
またハワイ島に来たら必ず参加します!

This is my second time participating!
2度目の参加です!
Activity Date: 2018/03/18 | Posted on: 2018/03/22

The boat is smaller than those of other companies, but that allows for more freedom in trying things out, which seems to increase the chances of encounters. Above all, I think it's wonderful that the captain and guides wholeheartedly support us in having "fun encounters"! Thank you so much for connecting us with the dolphins!

船は他の会社より小さいですが、その分自由なトライが出来て遭遇率アップになるようです。何よりキャプテンはじめガイドが、私達への「楽しい出逢いのサポート」を全力でしてくれるハートが素敵だと思います!イルカさんと私達を繫いでくれて、本当にありがとうございました!

Thank you, Daisuke.
ダイスケさん、ありがとうございました。
Activity Date: 2018/03/07 | Posted on: 2018/03/20

With Daisuke's guidance, who even has a photo book of dolphins, we were able to see many wild dolphins. Since it's a morning tour, you can make good use of the afternoon as well.

イルカの写真集まで出されているダイスケさんのガイドで、たくさんの野生のイルカを見ることができました。
午前中のツアーなので、午後も有効に使えます。

It wasn't very large, but since it was a catamaran, there was little rocking. A woman was talking about the history of Hawaii, but I could hardly understand... The meal was a buffet with chicken, pork, beef, salads, Thai fried rice, potatoes, etc. It was enjoyable because I could choose both the variety and the amount myself.

大きくはないが双胴船でしたので揺れは少なかったです。
ハワイの歴史を女性が話してくれてましたが・・・
ほぼ分からず・・食事はバイキング形式でチキン、ポーク、ビーフ
の肉類とサラダ、タイ米のチャーハンポテトetc.
種類も量も自分で選べるので楽でした。

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>
Rough waves...
荒波。。。
Activity Date: 2018/02/25 | Posted on: 2018/03/17

Unfortunately, the height of the waves affected our entire family, and even the motion sickness medication barely worked, so we spent most of the time lying down. We were able to see dolphins and managed to experience snorkeling, but the intense rocking created some memorable moments in a way, haha. This time we traveled in late February, but next time, if the weather is milder, I would like to participate again.

あいにくの波の高さに家族総出でやられてしまいまして、酔い止めすらほぼ効かず、ほぼ横になっている状態で終始過ごしました。
イルカも見ることが出来ましたし、シュノーケルもなんとか経験出来ましたが、あまりの揺れのためにある意味いい思い出が刻み込まれましたw
ただ今回は2月下旬の渡航でしたが、次回は気候の穏やかな時期であれば再度参加したいと、思います。
