BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour
Disappointed
Activity Date: 2014/05/24 | Posted on: 2014/05/27
May

You get a quick instruction on how to get in and get out of the scooter, and they teach you important hand signals. I don't know how to swim and never been underwater so I was extremely nervous. But everyone gets their own instructor so if you're freaking out, they're right there to help you. These guys were nice and never push you past your own comfort zone. I actually freaked out going underwater so my instructor brought me back up for a minute, let me calm down and tried it again. I got to see fish and even a few sea turtles swim by it was awesome!

My main complaint is that the guy taking pictures didn't catch any of this. He didn't take pictures until AFTER the fish swam by. So majority of my pictures that I paid $45 for are just of me in the water with no fish in it. What a waste!!

Now this is a warning for those of you who get motion sickness: I took Dramamine an hour before going out to sea and let me tell you that didn't work. While waiting for other people to have their turn, the boat was moving like crazy and I got seasick. Two other people actually got sick as well.

Overall this was a fun activity and I like that they let you snorkel while waiting for others to have their turn. However, I don't recommend this activity if you are prone to motion sickness.

Tip: Bring your own underwater camera!

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>
The sky is quiet and moving.
上空は静かで感動です
Activity Date: 2014/04/27 | Posted on: 2014/05/26

The tour consisted of 12 people in groups of two and three. Usually, the pickup van for tours is late, but this one arrived on time.

We took a large boat until we reached the sea. Since the sun was quite strong, I was glad I wore a UV cardigan over my swimsuit. The instructions for putting on the equipment were in English, as mentioned in other experiences, but they used gestures to explain, so I understood it somewhat. Plus, they guided us, so it was fine to just go with the flow.

I attempted the 150m challenge, and while the cable swayed a bit like a swing when it stretched, that added to the thrill and made it fun. Up high, it was very quiet, and I could feel the wind in the sky, which was an amazing feeling. (I took off the cardigan.) The men participating wore life jackets and swim trunks, and after jumping, they put on their T-shirts again.

During the landing, we were soaked up to our waists in the sea, and it was funny to see ourselves recorded on the SD card. I highly recommend buying the SD card ($30). Just let them know "SD please" before you go parasailing, and it's all set. We looked like we were having a great time in the photos.

If I do it again, I noticed that I was mostly showing my backside in the pictures, so I plan to place the guard closer to my thighs like my husband did for more stability.

2人3組、3人2組の、計12人でのツアーでした。
ツアーだとお迎えのバンは大抵遅れるのですが、こちらは時間とおりに到着してくれました。

海へ出るまでは大型ボートに乗ります。かなり日差しが強かったのでUVカーディガンを水着の上に羽織って正解でした。
器具を装着するなどの説明は、体験談にあるように英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで表現してくれるので何となくわかりました。それにやってくださるのでそのままGOで大丈夫です。

150mに挑戦しましたが、ケーブルが伸びる時にグラっとぶらんこのように少し揺れますが、それがまた恐怖で楽しかったし、高い高い上空はとても静かで、空の風を肌で感じることが出来たのが、最高の気分でした。(カーディガンは脱ぎました)
参加された男性もライフジャケットに海パンというスタイルで、飛んだ後にまた手持ちのTシャツを着るという感じでした。

着陸の時には腰まで海に浸かって、びしゃびしゃな私たちがSDカードに記録されていて可笑しかったです。SDカード($30)は絶対買った方がいいです。パラセイリングで飛ぶ前にSDプリーズと伝えればOK。
とても楽しそうな自分たちが写っていました。

次回やるとしたら、ひざに近いモモ裏にガードをあてたらお尻ばかり見せるように写っていたので、こんどは安定していた主人のようにお尻に近いモモ裏にガードをあてようと思います。

I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
安心して楽しめました
Activity Date: 2014/05/22 | Posted on: 2014/05/25

I made a last-minute online reservation after business hours the day before, and it went through smoothly. I received a confirmation email around 7 AM on the day of the activity, and I was picked up at 8:30. The staff member was a cheerful white guy who was quite playful with the customers (laughs). The local staff was a Japanese woman, and I didn't encounter any issues.

What helped the most was having a locker available. The kayak is quite heavy, and it can be a bit challenging to pull it to the launch spot, so having a man around is helpful. I was a complete beginner, but paddling was easy. We were able to fit three people: two adults and one elementary school child.

The sea was not crowded and felt great. I wish we had more time to explore the town of Kailua, as it was a bit disappointing to not have enough time. For lunch, we could choose from two different places. It felt like a beach house, and the food was delicious. Although they didn't speak Japanese, the staff were nice.

前日の営業時間後に思い立ってネット予約したのですが、ちゃんと予約できました。当日の7時頃確定メールが来て、8時半にピックアップ。スタッフは陽気な白人のお兄さんで、客いじりが激しかったです(笑
現地のスタッフは日本人女性で、困ることはありませんでした。
何より助かったのはロッカーがついていること。
カヤックはけっこう重く、乗る場所まで引いて歩くのはちょっと大変なので、男性がいないと辛いです。まったくの初心者でしたが漕ぐのは簡単でした。大人二人+小学生ひとりの3人で乗れました。
海はすいていて気持ちよかったです。もっと時間があればカイルアの街を散策できたので、時間が足りないのが残念でした。
お昼は2つのお店から選べました。海の家という感じのお店でしたが美味しかったです。日本語は通じませんが店員がいい人でした。

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>
Thrills and breathtaking views.
スリルと絶景
Activity Date: 2014/04/30 | Posted on: 2014/05/20

I love roller coasters, but my experience was incredibly scary. At first, it was fun being close to the ocean, posing for the camera, and having a great time, but as the height increased, the fear became so overwhelming that I couldn't even speak. It was definitely less than 10 minutes, but it felt like a really long time to me, and I found myself wishing to get off. However, since they don't let you off right away, I reluctantly calmed down and looked around... what a breathtaking view. The ocean was a deep blue, and I could see all of Waikiki. I wanted to engrave that sight in my memory and forgot about my fear. The "ocean splash" when they finally let you down brought back the fun and made me feel at ease. It was a different kind of thrill and an amazing view compared to typical thrill rides. I wondered if 45 meters would be embarrassing, so I went for 90 meters, but while I was flying, I couldn't tell how high it was... and the photos taken were too far away, so I thought 45 meters would have been enough. This was one of the most memorable experiences during my trip to Hawaii, so I will definitely participate again next time.

ジェットコースターが大好きな私ですが、感想はめちゃめちゃ怖かったです。
始めは海も近くて楽しくて、撮ってくれるカメラに向かってポーズ取ったりしてはしゃいでいましたが、どんどん高さが増していき言葉が出ないくらいの恐怖でした。
確かに10分弱くらいですが私にはすごく長い時間に感じ、もう降ろして欲しいと思ってしまいました。
でも、すぐには降ろしてくれないので仕方なく落ち着いて周りを見ると、、、
何とも言えない絶景。
海が真っ青、ワイキキ一望。
目に焼きつけたくて怖さも忘れました。
降ろしてくれる時の『海ポチャ』が、これまた楽しさが甦って安心させてくれます。
絶叫マシンとはまた違ったスリルと絶景。
45Mだと恥ずかしいかな?なんて思って90Mにしましたが、飛んでる私には高さはわからず、、、撮ってくれる写真も遠くなってしまうし、45Mで十分かなと思いました。
今回の渡ハの中でかなり印象深かったので、次も絶対参加です。

ワイキキビーチ SUP 1時間プライベートレッスン <ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>
The conversation was different.
話が違った。
Activity Date: 2014/04/29 | Posted on: 2014/05/18

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding. First, I was worried about the explanation in English, but a Japanese staff member kindly explained everything to me. The instructor was a foreigner who was cheerful and nice, but there was hardly any guidance once we got out on the water, so I had to rely on my memory of the initial instructions to manage on my own. However, I was able to stand up relatively easily and enjoyed it.

There were a few disappointing things, though. When I returned to the reception after the lesson, the instructor handed me a towel, but the Japanese woman at the reception told me that only Royal Hawaiian guests could use the towels and took it away from me. I was charged $50 plus tax even though it was supposed to include photos. Since I thought there would be photos included, I hadn’t prepared my own camera, so I had no choice but to purchase the photos. The lesson itself was a lot of fun, so it was unfortunate. Later, VELTRA refunded me for the photo fee.

スタンドアップパドルを体験しました。
まず、英語での説明に不安があったので日本人のスタッフが丁寧に説寧してくれました。
インストラクターは外国人の方で明るくていい人でしたが、海に出てからの指導がほとんどなかったので最初の説明を思い出しながら自力でなんとかするって感じでした。
でも割とすんなりと立つことができ楽しめました。
ただ残念なことがいくつかありました。
レッスンが終わって受付に戻った際、インストラクターがタオルを渡してくれたので持っていると受付の日本人女性にロイヤルハワイアンの宿泊者のみがタオルを使えるんです!と言われ取り上げられました。
写真つきとなっていたのに50ドル+税を請求されたこと。
写真つきだと思っていたので自分たちのカメラを用意していなかったため写真を購入するしかなかったこと。
レッスン自体はすごく楽しかったので、残念でした。
後日、VELTRAさんが写真代を返金してくれました。

We participated with my daughter and her husband, as well as my sister-in-law's family, making three families in total. At first, it was very scary, but after a while, we got used to it and were able to enjoy the amazing views. The energetic and handsome staff further boosted our spirits. Unfortunately, my wife couldn't board due to a mix-up and had to stay at the port, but I received an email saying they would refund her as soon as we returned home, and I appreciate their quick response.
If we go to Hawaii again, we will definitely do this again! It was also a good decision to request a photo shoot. It became a wonderful memory.

娘夫婦、義妹家族と3家族で参加しました。最初はとても怖かったですが、少しすると慣れ、最高の景色を楽しむことが出来ました。ノリのいいイケメンスタッフが更にテンションをあげてくれました。妻は残念ながら手違いで乗船出来ず、港で持つこととなりましたが、帰国してすぐ返金するとのメールが入っており、迅速な対応に感謝です。

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン
First surfing experience.
始めてのサーフィン
Activity Date: 2014/04/18 | Posted on: 2014/05/16

I tried surfing for the first time at the age of 62. Since I was good at skiing, I thought I could manage it and signed up casually. I imagined that balance would be important, so I did some mental training in preparation. However, the pickup was 30 minutes late, the instructions were all in English (which I couldn't understand), the semi-private lesson instructor was unfriendly (sorry for being an old guy!), and to top it off, the weather was bad, so my surfing experience left a lot to be desired. In the end, I think I managed to stand longer than the talent Junji Takada.

62歳でサーフィンに初挑戦しました。スキーは得意であったので、何とかなるだろうと、気軽に申し込みをしました。バランス感覚が大切なのだろうと、イメージトレーニングをして臨みました。しかし、朝の迎えから30分遅れてくるし、説明はすべて英語で(規定)ちんぷんかんぷんであり、セミプライベートレッスンの先生は、愛想が悪いし(おじさんで悪かったね!)、おまけに天候も悪いし、良い印象の無いサーフィンになりました。結果は、タレントの『高田純次』さんよりは長く立っていられたと思っています。

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Kayak & Snorkel Fun!
Posted on: 2014/05/14

This kayak trip was awesome. I booked this tour since I heard that snorkeling is awesome in Kaneohe, and I wanted to get away from busy Waikiki. I was picked up from my hotel in Waikiki in the morning, and once we got to the state park, we were greeted by friendly staff at their gift shop where we checked in.

Make sure you bring your insect repellent. I got bit by mosquitos a few times. Once we were briefed and went down to the launch pad, our kayaks were tugged to the boat so we didn't have to kayak all the way to the first snorkel spot. The guide dropped us around the half way, and we kayaked about 15min to get to the Coconut island. The coral was BEAUTIFUL and there were a lot of tropical fish.

After 30min or so, we were then tugged again to the 2nd location. It was awesome since we were already a little tired from snorkeling. I liked the 2nd location at the sandbar, and this spot was also beautiful. The other snorkelers spotted a huge sea turtle.

We then had a chance to choose if we wanted to kayak back or tugged on the boat again. I chose to kayak back, and it was a perfect amount for kayaking for a day.

They had a fresh water shower at the park, and they took us to their BBQ lunch spot where we had a chance to eat delicious lunch with their staff.

Overall, this was a great tour. Especially recommended for families with small children or older people who can't kayak too long. Tugboat was awesome.

Highly recommended!

We participated with four friends. It was our second time, but it was the first for the couple. Last time we did 150 meters, but this time we challenged ourselves to 180 meters. Just like before, it was a lot of fun. It was a bit cloudy, which was unfortunate. The wife of the couple was so scared that she cried the whole time (laughs). She kept shouting "Eek!!!" Throughout. Besides us, there were four foreign participants, and everyone, including the staff, was laughing heartily.

友人と4人での参加でした。私たちは2回目でしたが、友人夫婦は初めて。前回は150メートルでしたが今回は180メートルに挑戦してみました。前回同様とても楽しかったです。少し曇っていたのでそれが残念でした。友人夫婦の奥さんはよほど怖かったのか、最初から最後まで号泣(笑)。『キャー!!!』を連発していました。私たちの他には外国の方が4名参加されていましたが、スタッフも含めみなさん大爆笑でした。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour
My First Hawaiian Adventure Underwater
Activity Date: 2014/05/05 | Posted on: 2014/05/11

I usually don't do reviews because there wasn't enough "wow" or it's special, but not worth my time to "write" about it: This activity is exceptionally the case for shouting about. Think about how in the world could you go underwater, be AMONG fish, not learn the intricacies of diving, not wear heavy equipment on your back (even if weight is not an issue underwater), or hold your breath for an extended period of time, and still be able to wear your personal prescription glasses. This is a great activity to partake in especially for those curious about underwater activities.
When you get underwater on these vehicles, a personal diver will be assigned to you to make certain that you're doing OK and to mitigate any problems that may arise---even if you decide to cancel the activity. The hosts were all professional and serious about instructing the group on what to expect while in the water, and I felt comfortable and appreciatead their attention to safety. We rode out to the edge of this bay in the south eastern part of Oahu and proceeded with the adventure in the BOBs plus snorkeling around the boat that brought us out there. One of the divers had a camera to take pictures while we were underwater so there will be pictorial memories to look back at and thoughts about what to do in the future to optimize my excursions beneath the ocean. This activity is great!I was underwater for the very first time in my life, and I'm back to write about how great a time I had! If diving is not for you, try this for your shorter "bucket" list!

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>
The best experience!!!
最高の体験!!!
Activity Date: 2014/05/03 | Posted on: 2014/05/08

I joined this activity because the reviews were great. To put it simply, it was incredibly fun!!!

On the day of the event, the van arrived on time to pick us up and took us to the harbor. We boarded the boat smoothly without any waiting. My husband and I took motion sickness pills beforehand, so we enjoyed the cruise out to sea without feeling sick. I couldn't catch most of the English explanations (laughs), but it was totally fine! They take care of everything.

Many reviews mentioned that they weren't scared and wanted to try something higher next time, so I boldly decided to challenge the 150m! I took their advice and said things like "many many photos, please!" and "At finish, under knee please!" (laughs). I wanted to take photos from above, so I brought a waterproof camera and, on a whim, a non-waterproof DSLR. ← Reckless.

Finally, it was time for takeoff. We were lifted from the back of the boat and went up a little at first. As we drifted away from the boat, the loud sounds of the engine and waves suddenly disappeared, and my husband and I were surprised by how quiet it became. As others have mentioned, it truly felt like a space just for the two of us. It was so quiet up there that we could chat normally.

We didn't go up all at once; it was a gradual ascent. Honestly, I wasn't sure if we were really at 150m. If the ground were directly below us, things would look small and I might feel scared, but since it was just endless ocean, there was no sense of distance, and even if we fell, it would be into water (though there would be impact), so I thought it wasn't scary at all.

When we went, there was little to no wind, so it was stable and we weren't tossed around at all. After enjoying about 10 minutes of our aerial stroll, we slowly descended as the wire was reeled in, and as I requested, we landed with just our feet touching the water. Since my DSLR wasn't waterproof, I raised the camera above my head to protect it at that moment. (It was fine, but I can't guarantee it, so please don't imitate me! I did it with the understanding of my own responsibility.)

They picked us up at 9:40, so we had plenty of time for breakfast, and we arrived at the hotel before noon, which gave us enough time to enjoy the afternoon. It was very compact and I highly recommend it!

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time doing such an activity. I'm really glad I participated. Next, I want to challenge the 180m. "150m is about one-third of Tokyo Tower..." you don't need to worry about silly things like that! (laughs) I highly recommend it☆☆☆

こちらのレビューの評価がよかったので参加しました。
結論から言うと、めっちゃめちゃ楽しかったです!!!

当日は時間通りに迎えのバンが来てくれて、ハーバーへ。待たされることもなくスムーズにボートへ乗船。
私も主人も酔い止めを飲んで行ったので、気分が悪くなる事なく沖までのクルージングを楽しめました。
説明は全て英語でほとんど聞き取れなかったですが(笑)、全然大丈夫です!全部やってくれます。

ここのレビューで「怖くなかったから次はもっと高いのにチャレンジしたい」というご感想が多かったので、思いきって150mにチャレンジ!
レビューを活かして「many many photos,please!」とか、「At finish,under knee(最後に水につかるのはヒザの下で) please!」と言ってみたりしました(笑)
上空からの写真を撮りたくて、防水カメラと、一か八かで防水でない一眼レフを持って行きました。
←無謀。

いよいよテイクオフ。
船の後方から上げられ、まずは少しだけ上がります。
ふっと船から離れると、さっきまで聞こえていたエンジンや波の大きな音がすぅっとなくなり
一気に静かな空間になったのには主人と2人で驚きました。
他の方も書かれていますがまさに2人だけの空間。上空はとっても静かなので普通におしゃべりができました。

一気には上がらず少しずつ少しずつ。
正直150mもあるかな?という高さの感覚でした。もし真下が地面だったら物が小さく見えて高さを実感し怖いかもしれませんが、ひたすら海なので遠近感がないのと、万一落ちたとしても水だし(衝撃はありますが)という感じで怖くないのかなと思いました。

私たちが行った時は風がないか弱いぐらいだったので、安定していて振り回されるようなことは全くありませんでした。
10分ほど?空中散歩を楽しんで、ゆっくりとワイヤーが巻き取られて、伝えた通り足だけ着水。
一眼レフが防水でないため、その瞬間頭の上にカメラを上げて守りました。(大丈夫でしたが保証できませんので真似しないで下さいね!当方自己責任の覚悟があってやっております)

9:40に迎えにきてくれたので朝ごはんもゆっくり取れましたし、12時前にはホテルに着いたのでお昼からも十分に時間を使え、とってもコンパクトでおすすめです!

ハワイは何度か来ていますがこのようなアクティビティは初めてでした。
思いきって参加して本当によかったです。次は180mに挑戦したいと思います。
「150mだと東京タワーの3分の1かぁ…」とか変な心配はいらないですよ!(笑)
とってもおすすめです☆☆☆

The weather was really nice, and the view of Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki from the boat was beautiful and impressive. Check-in started about 15 minutes before, and before boarding, they took group photos in front of the boat, which were sold for $13 or $15 after we got off. The photos were really good, so I purchased one. I participated in the tour at 1 PM, and the captain mentioned that the morning tour saw sea turtles, but we didn't see any turtles; however, we were able to see dolphins. When we spotted the dolphins, the captain chased after them, and it was a lot of fun. There were foreign girls lying on the net at the front, and everyone seemed relaxed. There were two staff members at check-in and two crew members on the boat, but all the explanations were in English. I heard there is a restroom on the boat.

天気がすごくいい日で船からのダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの町並みはとても綺麗で感動しました。チェックインは15分前くらいからで、船に乗る前にグループごとに船の前で写真をとってくれて船を降りたあと13か15ドルで販売していました。すごくいい写真だったので購入しました。午後1時からのツアーに参加したのですが、朝のツアーでは海がめが見れたとキャプテンが言っていましたが、海がめは見れなかったけど、イルカをみることができました。イルカを見つけるとキャプテンが追いかけてくれてすごく楽しめました。先端のネットの上に寝転がっている外人の女の子たちがいたり、みんなリラックスした感じでした。チェックインのスタッフ二人と船上はクルー二人でしたが説明などすべて英語でした。船にトイレはあるそうです。

I participated in the 1:00 PM tour. It was cloudy on the day, and the color of the sea wasn't great, but once we boarded the boat, it turned into a beautiful sunny day, and the colors of the sea, sky, and scenery were amazing! Among the Asian participants, there was one other Japanese group, one Korean group, and two Chinese groups; the rest were mostly Westerners, and the boat was nearly full. The explanations were all in English, but you can definitely enjoy it! There's no need to worry at all.

The sailing lasted about 90 minutes, and I was moved to see how the color of the sea changed as we went further out. Holding a Mai Tai cocktail, the lively music and the slow pace that you don't usually experience were very pleasant. By the way, the cocktails are $5 each. I would love to join again the next time I go to Hawaii! It’s not an exaggeration to say it was my best memory.

13:00からの回に参加しました。
当日は曇りで海の色もいまいちだったのですが、いざ船に乗り込むと快晴になり
海の色も空の色も景色も最高でした~!
アジア系では日本人は私たち以外に1組と韓国人が1組、中国人が2組、それ以外は
欧米人が殆どでほぼ満席でした。
説明はすべて英語ですが、ズバリ楽しめます!何の心配も要りません。
たっぷり90分ほどのセイリングで、海の色が沖に行くにつれて変わっていくのが明確にわかり感動しました。カクテル(マイタイ)を片手に軽快な音楽と普段味わえないゆっくりとした時間が心地良かったです。ちなみにカクテルは1杯5ドルです。
今度ハワイへ行った際もまた参加したい!1番の思い出と言っても過言ではありません。

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures
Absolutely amazing! A must do activity while in Maui!
Activity Date: 2014/05/02 | Posted on: 2014/05/05

Beautiful, magnificent, spectacular, and extraordinary. Just a few words that come to mind when talking about my experience with this activity. I knew that while I was on Maui, that I wanted to go scuba diving. Unfortunately, you have to be certified to go scuba diving. So, I did the next best thing. I went on a snorkel/snuba diving adventure. Not only was the experience breathe taking, but the instructors, captain, film crew, and the rest of the staff was so courteous and knowledgeable. Any questions, comments, or concerns you have they are more than willing to go above and beyond your expectations to make you feel comfortable. Well worth every penny I spent on this activity. Anyone who is thinking about going snorkeling, should check out this company. They have amazing customer service which is hard to find. The snuba adventure is unlike anything I've ever tried. You get the opportunity to swim up close and personal with all kinds of sea life. Highly recommend spending the extra money to go snuba diving.

We went to the venue as a family of four. There were three participants, and I attended as the photographer and videographer. First, the kind staff took the visitors to the practice area by shuttle. Thank you very much. The participating family said they had a great time. However, the practice area was in a shallow coral location, and once they got too caught up in the activity, everyone ended up needing the assistance of the ambulance. If you are a beginner, please remember to always carry a "first aid van." They mentioned they would like to participate again. That's all.

家族4名で会場へ出向きました。参加者は3名で、私は写真・ビデオ係で伺いました。まず親切な方たち(スタッフ)で見学者も海岸の練習場所まで送迎車に乗せていただきました。ありがとうございました。参加した家族は楽しかったと言っておりました。ただ、練習場所が浅瀬のサンゴのある場所で夢中になって陸に揚がったら全員が救急バンのお世話になりました、初心者受講の場合は必ず「救急バン」を忘れずに携帯してくださいね。また参加したいと言っておりました。以上

Such an AMAZING experience. Both my sister and I can't swim so we were weary at the start but we told the guys on deck so they could keep an eye on us - fortunately we didn't tip the jet ski over! Definitely will try again.

It was scheduled for the arrival day, but unfortunately, it was canceled due to rain and strong winds. Perhaps because there was no contact person available on-site, we received a message more than two hours after the meeting time. (Before that, I had confirmed with the Japanese staff at the hotel to postpone it, so it was fine.) After that, we kept postponing while watching the weather throughout our stay, and finally, we were able to go ahead on the last day♪

On the day, there were six groups with 12 people, and everyone except us was foreign. They provided various explanations while we were moving by boat, but I was anxious because I couldn't understand English. However, they later gave us a simple explanation in Japanese, so it was okay. Also, perhaps out of consideration, they talked to us a lot, and when they asked, "Honeymoon?" and I replied "Yes," they clearly extended our time in the air longer than for the other people. My husband, who was a bit nervous at first, was very impressed by the view from above.

I thought $30 for the photos was a bit expensive, but I decided to order them. They took pictures with the plane and captured us both smiling and enjoying ourselves, so I think it was worth it. I was extremely satisfied. It was worth waiting until the end without canceling♪

到着日に予定していたけど、生憎の雨と強風で中止。現地で連絡の取れる連絡先がなかったためか、集合時間から2時間以上過ぎて連絡が…。(その前にホテルの日本人スタッフに確認して頂き延期してもらってたので大丈夫でした)
それから、滞在期間中ずっと天候を見ながら延期し続けて最終日にやっと決行出来ました♪

当日は、6組12名で私達以外は皆外人さん。ボートで移動中に色んな説明をしているけど、英語が分からず不安でしたが後で日本語で簡単に説明してくれるので大丈夫でした。また、気遣ってもらってか色々話し掛けてくれて、「ハネムーン?」と聞かれ「はい」と答えると他の人達より明らかに飛んでる時間を長くサービスしてくれました。初めはビビり気味だった主人も、上空からの景色にとても感動していました。
写真も30ドルで少々高いかと思ったけど頼みました。飛行機と撮ってくれてたり二人共笑顔で楽しんでる所を残せたので良かったかなぁと思います。
大大大満足でした。キャンセルせず最後まで待ったかいがありました♪
