All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

My 5 year old and I did this adventure and had sooooo much fun!!! The tour guides were so nice especially to my daughter. They let her go up front and one made her a fishing pole out of a leaf during lunch. I would definitely do this again with my family. If you’re bringing a camera or GoPro make sure it has a tie on it to your wrist or clothing and a water proof case. We had the best time together!!! Highly recommend.

We participated as two women. We were torn between horseback riding and trying the four-wheeler, but we decided to go for the buggy. After checking in, we had about an hour of waiting time, but we took photos of the horses and the great outdoors, so the time flew by until it was our turn for the buggy. After putting on helmets and goggles (sunglasses were also acceptable), we watched a short instructional video about driving operations, and then it was finally time to get on the buggy! We lined up behind the instructor and first drove through a test course. If there were no issues, we proceeded to the main course. The accelerator is controlled by the right thumb, which made my thumb quite tired, and it was challenging to gauge the pressure until I got used to it. Driving through the magnificent nature felt amazing and was incredibly liberating—what a fantastic experience!!! Along the way, we had a chance to take photos where there were lots of cows. The instructor even filmed some funny videos. The one-hour experience was very satisfying, so I’m glad we chose this course. It's essential to wear clothes that can get dirty and sneakers. You will get covered in dust!

The bumpy paths might be challenging for women without much strength, but I highly recommend it☆ I want to go again!!

By the way, since we rented a car, we drove to the location. The parking lot was spacious, so we were able to park quickly.

女性2人で参加しました。乗馬と迷いましたが、四輪バギーに挑戦することに。受付をしてから1時間ほど待ち時間がありましたが、馬や大自然の写真を撮ったりしていたのであっという間にバギーの時間になりました。ヘルメットとゴーグル(サングラス持参でも可)を装着してから、運転操作についての説明動画を数分見て、いよいよバギーに乗車！インストラクターの後ろを1列になり、まずはテストコースを走行。問題なければそのまま本コースへ。アクセルが右手の親指なのですが、かなり親指が疲れたのと、慣れるまでは力の入れ具合が難しかったです。壮大な大自然の中を走行するのはとても気持ちよく、開放的で最高の気分でした！！！途中、牛がたくさんいるところで写真を撮る時間を設けてくれます。インストラクターの方が面白い動画を撮ってくれました。1時間で大満足のボリュームだったので、このコースにしてよかったです。汚れてもいい服装とスニーカーは必須です。全身砂埃まみれになります！
凸凹した道が多いので、力がない女性には難しいかもしれませんが、おすすめです☆
また行きたいです！！

ちなみに、レンタカーを借りていたため現地までは車で向かいました。駐車場は広いのですぐに駐車できました。

At first, I thought two hours of just walking might be boring, but as we passed through the "forest," the "ocean" came into view. We walked through "gentle hills" and "grasslands," with mountains on the left and the coastline on the right. We passed by the "Jurassic Park" sign and "Skull," which were filming locations from the movie, and crossed a "stream."

The two hours flew by without a dull moment. There were times when we picked up the pace, but it felt safe, and we could stop quickly, which was exciting. If you're used to cantering and jumping at a riding club, you might find it a bit lacking. The grasslands make you want to "run!" It would be even better if there were an advanced course available.

I've done Western trail riding a few times in Japan, but I had the impression that it was boring for the price. However, this experience was enjoyable.

There are many areas without shade, so wear long sleeves. You don't need a hat since you'll be wearing a helmet, but don't forget to bring water and your mobile phone, as you can store them in the saddle.

はじめは、2時間も常歩だけでは面白くないのでは…とあまり期待していませんでしたが、２時間の間に「森」を抜けたら「海」が見えてきて、「緩やかな丘」と「草原」を通りながら左に山、右に海岸が見え、「ジュラシックパークの看板」「スカル」と映画のロケ地を通り、「小川」を渡り…
飽きることなく２時間があっという間でした。
途中、速歩になってしまったりしましたが、それでも危なくなくすぐ止まってエキサイティングでした。普段乗馬クラブで駈歩や障害などやっていたら少し物足りないかもしれません。「走りたーい！」となる草原です。経験者コースがあればなおいいかも。

日本でも何度かウエスタンの外乗やりましたが、金額の割につまらないイメージでしたが、ここは面白かったです。

日影がない箇所も多いので、長袖で。ヘルメットをかぶるので帽子は不要ですが、馬の鞍に水と携帯電話を入れられますのでお忘れなく。

It was our family's first trip to Hawaii and our first horseback riding experience. Initially, we had booked the horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, but due to overcapacity, we switched to this tour. Since we were traveling by rental car, I had some concerns, but we arrived without getting lost. The reception counter had explanations in Japanese, so even though I could hardly understand the staff's English, I felt at ease while riding. The horses were well-trained and took us on a leisurely stroll along the beach. The kids (elementary and middle school students) were looking forward to this horseback riding, and it seems they had a wonderful time as expected. Thank you to all the staff!

家族４人での初ハワイ＆初乗馬体験でした。当初、クアロアランチの乗馬体験を申し込んだのですが、定員オーバーのため、こちらのツアーにしました。レンタカーでの移動のため、不安もありましたが、迷うことなく到着できました。受付カウンターには日本語の説明文が用意されており、スタッフの英語がほとんど聞き取れなかった私でも、安心して乗馬できました。馬たちはよく調教されており、ゆっくりと浜辺を散策してくれました。子どもたち（小学生と中学生）はこの乗馬を楽しみにしており、期待通りの素晴らしい時間を過ごせたようです。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

I have been to Hawaii over 30 times, but this was my first visit to Manoa Falls. I had heard various experiences from others and was prepared for the frequent rain, muddy paths, and insect bites, but since the weather was clear, it turned out to be a wonderful hike. The tour guide was very kind, and her explanations about the plants and birds were easy to understand and enjoyable. I also had a very delicious lunch at Kapiolani Park. Thank you very much.

ハワイへは30回以上来ていますが、マノアの滝には初めて行きました。
色々な体験談や現地の方に雨がよく降る、ぬかるんでいて危ない、虫に刺される、などかなり気構えて行きましたが、晴天続きだった事もあり、とても良いハイキングでした。
ツアコンのお姉さんもとても親切で、植物や鳥などの説明も分かりやすく楽しかったです。
カピオラニ公園でのランチもとても美味しくいただきました。ありがとうございました。

Blessed with clear skies, the nature and waterfall views in Oahu were amazing. Moving to a nearby park in Waikiki, the taste of the organic lunch I had while looking at the ocean was exceptional.

晴天に恵まれて、オアフの自然と滝景色も最高。場所を移して、ワイキキ近隣の公園で海を見ながら食べたオーガニックランチの味も格別でした。

This was an awesome experience! The guides were very helpful, funny and careful! Would recommend for any age to give it a shot!

I had a grand time! The weather was perfect (partly cloudy) and it had rained the day before, so the trail wasn't dusty.

They did a good job teaching us how to drive the ATVs and making sure we were comfortable with the machines.

The guides had great personalities and they wanted to make sure we were having a good time.

Highly recommended. I took the 3-hour tour, which includes the view of Kipu Kai.

I participated with my father and younger brother. We joined at the beginning of March, and it was very cold during the early morning gathering and while waiting at the venue (the wait was quite long), so I think it's a good idea to bring a hoodie or something similar.

At first, I was a bit concerned about the long wait and the cold, but those minor complaints were blown away by the wonderful experience I had. Additionally, the process for purchasing photos and videos was smooth and handled quickly, which was great. The instructors who actually fly with you are all locals, so it would be better if you can speak English, but even if you can't, there are people who can guide you in Japanese, which I think made my father feel more at ease.

父、弟と一緒に参加しました。
3月頭に参加したのですが、朝早くの集合の際や、会場での受付の待ち時間（なかなか長い）の間はとても寒かったので、パーカーなどを持って行った方がいいと思います。

最初はだいぶ待たされるわ寒いわでどうかと思っていましたが、そんなちょっとした不満も吹き飛ぶほど、素晴らしい体験をさせて頂きました。
また、写真やビデオの購入もスムーズにすぐ対応していただけたので、よかったです。
実際に一緒に飛んでくれるインストラクターは全て現地の方なので、英語ができるとなおよいかと思いますが、できなくても、日本語で案内できる方がいてその点では父も安心していたかと思います。

This was my first experience, and I was most scared when taking off in the Cessna. In fact, I wasn't scared while flying, and before I knew it, I was falling with the instructor (laughs). The sensation of flying through the wind was really interesting! The parachute also spun several times, which was fun, but my friend who has a fear of heights seemed to struggle, so I wouldn't recommend it too much. Due to the weather, we jumped from a lower altitude than planned, so next time I want to participate at 15,000 ft.

今回初めて体験しましたが、セスナで上がるときが一番怖かったです。むしろ飛ぶ時は怖くなく、いつのまにかインストラクターと一緒に落ちていました（笑)風をきって飛ぶ感覚がとても面白かったです！パラシュートも何度も旋回して楽しかったですが、高所恐怖症のつれは辛かったようなのであまりおすすめはしません。
天候の影響で予定より低い所から飛んだので、次は15,000ftのに参加したいです。

If you’re looking for a real authentic horseback ride in Maui, this is the one you should book. The guides are amazing! Real down to the earth good people!! If I lived on Maui I would happily volunteer anytime to help out! I LOVED all the animals on the farm!!! Thank you so much for the great time! Will definitely book it again!

It's like a jungle! What an amazing first impression. You can slowly enjoy the magnificent nature of Waipi'o while being gently rocked on a horse. It was my first time horseback riding, but the horse was smart and guided me on its own, so I felt safe. It was truly a unique place on the Big Island of Hawaii. That's a sight you have to experience in person. If you want to experience nature and cleanse your spirit, I highly recommend you go!

ジャングルじゃん！すごいじゃん！が、第一印象。ワイピオの壮大な自然の中を、ゆっくりと馬に揺られながら堪能できます。乗馬は、はじめてでしたが、馬が賢く、馬が勝手に案内してくれますので安心です。ハワイ島の中でも、また別格なところでした。あれは、行ってみないと味わえない光景です。大自然を体験したい方、心を綺麗にしたい方は、ぜひ行ってみてください。

It was a wonderful tour. Watching the sunset over the sea of clouds and the shadow of the Earth from the summit of Haleakalā, along with the countless stars, was truly overwhelming and breathtakingly beautiful. I believe it's not an exaggeration to say that if you haven't seen this, you might wonder why you came to Maui. The guide was also someone who approached this job with conviction and had a wonderful personality. If I come to Maui again, I would like to request this tour.

素晴らしいツアーでした。ハレアカラの山頂というとてつもない非日常的な場所で眺める日没の雲海や地球の影、そして満点の星々は正に圧倒的であり、息をのむ美しさでした。これを見ずしてマウイ島に何しに来たのかと言っても過言ではないと思います。またガイドさんも信念をもってこの仕事をされている方で、素晴らしい人柄でした。またマウイへ来ることがあればこちらでお願いしたいと思います。

The meeting time was at 8:00, but I arrived about 30 minutes early. It seemed that others had arrived even earlier, so I was in the last group. We watched a video explanation in Japanese, followed by an explanation in Japanese. The instructor spoke only in English, but it wasn't a problem. I was able to jump with confidence. I would like to try this again when I come back to Hawaii.

現地集合時間が8時でしたが、30分程早めに到着しましたが、他の方々はもっと早く到着されていたみたいで最終組でした。
説明は日本語のビデオを見て、その後に日本語での説明がありました。
インストラクターは英語のみですが、問題はありませんでした。
安心してジャンプ出来ました。
またハワイに来たら挑戦したいです。

At first, it’s scary, but once you get used to it, it becomes fun. You walk a lot, cross suspension bridges, and climb ropes, but there was a 77-year-old participant who was doing great! It’s something you can’t easily do in Japan, so I think it’s a good experience to try at least once.

最初は怖いですが慣れると楽しくなります。たくさん歩くし、吊り橋を渡ったり、ロープを登ったりしますが、77歳の方が参加されていて頑張っていました！日本ではなかなかできないので一度でいい体験するといいとおもいます。

It was a nice day today!

First, we were at the last hotel for pickup, and I ended up sitting in the back row. This remained unchanged until the end, which was puzzling. Usually, in such tours, you would expect to change seats for the return trip, and I thought the last pickup location would be the first drop-off, so I assumed I would sit in the front. Moreover, there was clearly an elderly person with us, which was a disappointing point.

The weather was great all the way to Mauna Kea. The lunch was a bento box with miso soup, and it was delicious. The cocoa after the meal was also a nice touch. It was cold up there, so I borrowed a jacket and pants to wear on the bus as we headed to the summit. (Honestly, it was a bit sad for the elderly person to sit in the back of the cramped bus.)

After overcoming rough roads, we finally reached the summit!!

Or so I thought, but the ranger told us to turn back... Why? It turned out the wind was strong, it was getting colder, and the road was freezing. We hurriedly took photos at the summit and began our descent. While that was understandable, I was waiting to take sunset photos somewhere, but to my surprise, we had already descended to 2000 meters and it was already sunset. We couldn't even take a photo of the Earth's shadow with just a brief explanation.

Then we climbed back up to Mauna Kea for stargazing. The stargazing itself was good.

I thought this tour title should be canceled, and I wondered if we would receive a ticket to retry within two years, but I was told that we wouldn't receive one after going to Mauna Kea. But we didn't get to see the sunset, did we?

What was even more disappointing was that we could download the photos taken after the tour, but another vehicle from the same company had taken photos of the sunset and the Earth's shadow... Our group had none, and the other photos taken were also lacking.

When I participated in a similar tour of the Grand Circle before, the guides were very knowledgeable about photography and took great pictures, so I might have had high expectations. However, the photography skills this time were disappointing.

Since this was a well-regarded Japanese company, I might have expected too much, but I believe that having better care prepared for situations where the sunset couldn't be captured would enhance overall satisfaction and make it more acceptable. I hope for improvements.

今日はいい天気！という日に参加しました。

まず最後のピックアップのホテルだったのですが、
最後列に座ることに。そしてこれは最後まで変わらなかったのは
なぞでした。
通常こういうツアーだといきと帰りは座る場所を変えたりすると
思いますし、普通最後のピックアップ場所は、最初のドロップオフなので
一番前に座るのかと思ってました。
しかもどう考えても最高齢者が一緒にいたのですが、、これは残念ポイント。

とってもいい天気でオニヅカまで。
お弁当は幕の内弁当とお味噌汁で、おいしかったです。
食後のココアもうれしかった。
ここで寒いので上着とズボンを貸していただき、
着用してバスにのって山頂を目指します。
（狭いバスの中、最高齢者が後ろに座るのは正直ちょっとかわいそうです）

悪路を超えてようやく頂上！！

と思ったら、レンジャーが戻れ、と、、、、。
なぜ？と思ったら風がつよくてさらに寒くなり道路が凍結するから。
とのこと。
頂上の写真をあわただしくとって下山。
それは仕方ないのですが、
どこかでサンセットの写真をとるのかとまっていたら、
まさかの2000メートルまで下がった上にすでに日没。
地球の影も簡単に説明だけで写真撮影できず。

そして再度星空観測のため、オニヅカまでのぼりました。
星空観測自体はよかったです。

これはツアータイトル不催行だな、と思って、よくここで書かれている
二年以内に再チャレンジの券をもらえるのかと思ったら、
オニヅカまでいったらもらえないとのこと。
でもサンセットみれてないのに？と思いました。

さらに残念だったのは、
写真をとっていただいたものを
ツアー後、ダウンロードさせてもらえるのですが、
もう一台行った同じ会社の車は、日没も地球の影も一緒に写真を
とっている、、、、。
私たちのグループはないうえに、他のとった写真もいまひとつ。

以前グランドサークルのこういうツアーに参加したときは
写真の撮り方もとてもガイドさんたちは詳しくて、
本当に上手にとってくださったので
それを期待していたのかもしれませんが、
写真の技術も残念でした。

日系で評判がいい会社だったので期待しすぎたのかもしれませんが、
もう少しサンセットがとれなかったときのケアを考えて用意しておく
ほうが、トータルの満足感もあがるし、納得できると思います。
改善を希望します。

I'm korean.

I was vistied with my wife

It's honeymoon

It'was so beautiful and perpect!

And skydiving teacher and cameraman also

very kind and handsome haha

I'll visit again

Lastly, I was incredibly excited and funny.

Thank you so much

Would definitely do again!! I would recommend to anyone!! Good for all ages... we had ages 6-68 years old in our group...all had fun!! This is a must do while in Kauai! The guides tell you the history of the plantation and give you great recommendations for the rest of island!!

I participated in a company trip with a colleague.

From over 4000 meters in the sky, the view of the North Shore was incredibly beautiful as we descended much more slowly than I had expected. I didn't feel like we were going 200 km/h at all. I had to do ear equalization several times, and breathing felt a bit difficult at first.

Before the flight, I ordered photos, and the photographer was taking pictures outside. When I saw the finished video, I decided on the spot to buy it because of the wonderful editing. The price was a bit steep at $230, which is slightly higher than the skydiving experience fee, but it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend experiencing it at least once. My colleague said they wouldn't do it a second time because it was so terrifying.

社員旅行で同僚と2人で参加しました。

4000m超えの空から、思っていた以上にゆっくりと降りてくる感じでノースショアの景色が最高に綺麗に見えました。
時速200kmとは、とても感じられませんでした。耳抜きを何度もしますし、呼吸が最初難しく感じます。

飛行前に写真をオーダーし、アウトサイドでカメラマンさんが撮影されていたのですが、出来上がったビデオを見たら即決で買うことを決めるくらい、ステキな編集をされていました。
スカイダイビング体験代より少々高い230ドルとお値段は少し張りますが、価値は充分にあります。
一度は体験をオススメします。
同僚は2度目はないというくらい、恐怖だったそうです。

I was anxious about my first skydiving experience, but the local instructors and cameramen were very friendly, which made me feel at ease. Additionally, there was a Japanese version of the video explanation, and they provided a brief lecture in Japanese before the jump. However, the optional photos and videos are a bit pricey, so you'll need to consider your budget for that. (Using my own GoPro was not allowed.) If you don't mind waking up early, I recommend the morning plan.

初めてのスカイダイビングで不安でしたが、
現地のインストラクターの方やカメラマンの方もとても気さくな方で安心出来ました。
また、日本語版のビデオでの説明が有るのと飛ぶ前でも日本語で軽くレクチャーもしてくれます。
ただ、オプションの写真と動画は少し値が貼るのでそこは財布との相談になります。
(持参したGoProの使用もNGでした)
早起きが問題ない方は朝イチのプランがオススメです

The experience was amazing, but the staff also used their smartphones to creatively capture various moments, which doubled the fun. Their treatment of customers is outstanding!

体験も最高でしたがスタッフもスマホを使って色々な撮影を工夫してくれて楽しさが倍増しました、お客様の扱いが素晴らしいです！

Before participating in this tour, I was concerned about altitude sickness and the weather. To counter altitude sickness, we had dinner at the Onizuka Center, located at an elevation of about 2800m, which also helped with acclimatization. (The Hawaiian-style Japanese bento and warm miso soup were delicious!) After that, we headed towards the summit, and even after we set off, they kindly taught us how to breathe deeply, allowing us to avoid any symptoms of altitude sickness and enjoy the journey without issues.

Regarding the weather, it had been unstable recently, with stars sometimes visible and sometimes not, but fortunately, the day we participated was perfect! (In fact, the conditions were excellent!) Looking up from the base, there were clouds on the mountain, but apparently, this is a daily occurrence. When you think about it, we were climbing up to 4200m, which is quite high...

From the summit, we were able to see a beautiful sunset over the sea of clouds. After enjoying the sunset at the top, we descended a bit and did some stargazing. As it got darker, more and more stars appeared, and we even spotted 2 or 3 moving satellites during that time. The sunlight was reflecting well, and there was a breeze, making for excellent conditions. I've heard that the summer night sky is even more amazing, but I can't imagine how much more beautiful it could be than what we experienced! The guide used a pointer to explain things in a fun and engaging way, allowing us to learn more about astronomy.

While weather can be unpredictable, it turned out to be the best moment for us.

このツアー参加前に気になった事は高山病と天気について。
高山病対策は途中の標高2800m付近のオニヅカセンターにて高地順応を兼ね夕飯のお弁当を食べました。(このハワイアンチックな和風弁当＆温かい味噌汁は美味でした！)その後、山頂へ向かい出発してからも、丁寧に深呼吸の仕方を教えてもらい、道中高山病の症状も出ず問題なく過ごせました。
天気についても、ここ最近は不安定な天気で星空が見えたり見えなかったり、との事でしたが、私達が参加した日は幸いなことに問題ありませんでした。(と言うか、絶好のコンディション！)麓から上を見上げると山に雲が掛かっていますが、これは毎日のことらしい。考えてみれば、それよりも高い4200mまで登るんですよね。。
山頂からは雲海から沈む大変キレイな夕日が臨めました。山頂でサンセット堪能後、少し下に降りそこから天体観測。暗くなるにつれて星がどんどん多くなり、その最中に動く人工衛星も2〜3機確認できました。今日は太陽の反射光もよくあたり風もありで、絶好のコンディションだったようです。夏場の星空はもっとスゴいとのことですが、これ以上の星空ってどうなっちゃうの？？という程キレイな星空でした。夜空についてもポインターを使い面白おかしく説明していただき、天体について改めて学ぶ事が出来ました。
天候の運不運もあるのでしょうが、私達にとって最高のひと時となりました。

This was an amazing time. I would recommend to everyone. Very easy ride down a lazy river. A lot of the ride was through tunnels and with the provided head lamp it was great. Is a good time rain or shine.

This was a great time. This was our first time in kayak and we did awesome as our guide said. The hike to the falls was muddy but well worth it. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a little adventure.

I was nervous because of my fear of heights, but if you're hesitant, definitely give it a try. When you're falling, it feels like you're flying, and there's no sensation of floating like on a roller coaster—it's completely refreshing.

For those who are sensitive to roller coasters, if you ask to descend gently without spinning during the parachute, you can enjoy the breathtaking views without any issues.

There were a few people who got nauseous and had to sit out, so it's worth mentioning.

You should definitely try it at least once in your lifetime.

高所恐怖症でびびってましたが、
迷われてる方は是非してみてください。
落ちてる際は飛んでるような感覚で
ジェットコースターみたいな
浮く感覚はまったくなく爽快です。

ジェットコースターなどが弱い人は
パラシュートの際に回らず
優しく降りてくれと言ったら
問題なく絶景を見ながら降りれます。

言わなければ酔ってダウンしてる方が
何人かいてましたので是非。

死ぬまでに一回はしたほうが絶対いいです。

Our driver was prompt and very friendly. The hike itself was not as touristy as Diamond Head and very beautiful.

In Hawaii, I went on a tour with a major tour company, but the optional tours were fully booked, so I made a reservation through this site myself. I felt a bit anxious participating in a tour without any other Japanese people, but both the driver and the local staff were kind and explained everything in English, so it all worked out. At first, I was a bit nervous about the zip line, but once I got used to it, it was fine. The speed and the views while doing it were amazing.

大手ツアーで行ったハワイで、ツアー会社のオプショナルツアーでは満席で予約取れず、自分でこのサイトを通じて予約しました。
日本人のいないツアーで不安を感じながらも妻と参加しました。でもドライバーさんも、現地スタッフも優しく英語で丁寧に説明してくれたので、何とかなっちゃいました。
ジップライン自体は最初だけ少しビビりましたが、慣れたら大丈夫でした。やってる時のスピードや景色は最高です。

Our driver and tour guide was outstanding. We learned a great deal about volcanoes and stars.
There were so many highlights to this trip: excellent veggie lasagne, watched a beautiful sunset from above the clouds, and telescope star gazing. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

I had a great time with Mickey Takahashi! Thank you very much!

However, I felt nauseous because my stomach was full before flying, as the harness pressed on my stomach.

I was told to leave my hair down instead of tying it with a rubber band, and as a result, it got tangled up badly and took a long time to get back to normal, which was the worst!

The conversation was enjoyable, but I still think these two points were quite inadequate.

Thank you very much to the instructors; it was a very good experience.

I would like to challenge myself again.

ミッキー高橋さん楽しかったです！
どうもありがとうございました！

しかしながら、飛ぶ前の腹をいっぱいにしろは
ハーネスで胃を圧迫されるので
結果気持ち悪くなりました！

髪の毛はゴムで留めず下ろしときなさいと
結果ぐちゃぐちゃに絡まって
なかなか元に戻らず最悪でした！

会話は楽しかったですが、
この2点は今だにいい加減だなだと思ってます


インストラクターの方々大変ありがとうございましたとても良い経験になりました

また挑戦したいと思っています

Good trip and having funs, beautiful views and the water was so clear that you can see the bottom
