サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

Angel's Sea 天使の海

Reviewed by: nonno

I participated in a plan that included lunch. At the sandbar, the guide started a volleyball game, so I was able to have fun with others. It was cold after getting out of the water from snorkeling, so it was a good decision to bring a change of clothes. Those who got on the bus in their swimsuits looked quite cold. On the boat, they also served warm drinks.

ランチ付きプランに参加しました。サンドバーではガイドの方がバレーを始めてくれたので、他の方とも楽しく過ごせました。シュノーケルは海から上がってからが寒かったので、着替えを持って行って正解でした。水着のままバスに乗られていた方たちはかなり寒そうでした。船では温かい飲み物も出してくれました。

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズ 運がよければイルカに会えるかも!<夕食・飲み放題付き/英語ガイド/エレエレ地区>

Couldn't see the Na Pali Coast. ナパリコースト見れず

Reviewed by: 三宅 進

After we set sail, I thought it was strange that we were heading south, and we kept drifting further away from the Napali Coast. It seems that the waves were too high, and they changed the destination. I was really looking forward to it, so it's a disappointing outcome. I believe there was probably an announcement from the captain before we set off, but I couldn't understand any of the English. At least one small consolation is that I was able to see a whale in the distance.

出航後、南へ向かったのでおかしいなと思っていたのですが、どんどんナパリコーストとは離れていくばかり。どうやら波が高くて行き先を変更したようです。ものすごく楽しみにしていたので悲しい結果です。おそらく出航前に船長からアナウンスがあったとは思いますが、英語がさっぱりわからず。せめてもの救いは、クジラを遠目に見れたことかな。

It was cold when it was cloudy, but I think it's the best when it's sunny. 曇りだと寒かったけど、晴れたら最高だと思います

Reviewed by: そらそら

I returned wearing my swimsuit with a towel draped over me, but I got really cold on the bus. There are no lockers or changing rooms, so it's better to bring extra towels. They were disposing of leftover snacks during the light meal. I wish they had waited until the participants got off. The water level was about knee-deep. It seems the sandbar is around October 10, so those who got to experience it are lucky. The staff were great at getting everyone excited, and there were no issues with their service. Swimming in a line while snorkeling with a large group is challenging, but I saw a lot of cute little fish!

帰りは水着のままタオルを羽織って帰りましたがバスの中で冷えきります。ロッカー、更衣室はありませんので、多目にタオル持っていった方が。 軽食中に余っていたものを処分していました。参加者がおりてからにしてほしかったです。 水位はひざ下位でした。砂洲は10/月位らしいので、当たった方は羨ましです。 スタッフさんは盛り上げてくれたり、対応は問題ありません。シュノーケリング縦に並んで大勢で泳ぐのは大変ですが小さな魚がたくさん見れて可愛かったですよ!!

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>

If you're looking for interactions with dolphins, there are other programs available as well. イルカとのふれあいなら他のプラグラムでも

Reviewed by: まかろんママ

A 9-year-old child participated. I chose this program because it was safe with shallow interactions for kids and I thought it would also help with English learning. However, in the first half, there was a long quiz about aquatic creatures while showing pictures indoors, and my child, who doesn't understand English well, seemed to dislike being mixed in with native children. On the other hand, the time spent in the dolphin pool was somewhat longer, and in the end, my child said it was fun. However, it seems that in other programs, groups with many children were also having shallow interactions, so perhaps those programs would have been better.

9歳の子供が参加しました。子供向けで浅いところでふれあいなので安心だし、英語の勉強にもなると思い、こちらを選びましたが、前半、室内で絵を見せながら水の生き物に関するクイズが長く続いて、ネイティブの子供の中に一人交じって英語もよくわからないので嫌そうでした。ただイルカのプールにいる時間は若干長く、最後は楽しかったと話していました。ただ他のプログラムでも子供が多いグループは浅いところでふれあいをしていたようなので、他のプログラムの方がよかったかも。

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

It's a series of moving experiences! 感動の連続です!

Reviewed by: 馬場ひとみ

I felt sleepy while gathering at 6:05 AM. Since there was an explanation on the bus, I couldn't sleep. I had to pay close attention to this explanation. Also, I recommend having breakfast beforehand! It requires a lot of energy, and I felt quite exhausted. I took motion sickness medication at the hotel, so I didn't get seasick.

I was worried because it had rained all day the previous day, but it was sunny on the day of the trip! There was an explanation that we wouldn't necessarily see wild dolphins 100% of the time, and I was excited while on the boat!

It seems there were nine boats out at sea that day, but we had a hard time finding dolphins. We ended up going to see sea turtles first. Jumping into the sea was thrilling!

We quickly encountered sea turtles and saw them three times; one of them was a large 70-year-old male, which was impressive. The guide mentioned that male turtles are rare. Their breathing poses are so cute! The sea and the fish were very beautiful.

Once we got back on the boat, we received information that dolphins had been found, which was a relief. We moved to search for dolphins and found them!

Wild dolphins pass by in an instant, so it's best to pay attention to the guide's signals. We were able to see a few swim below us and spotted some jumping in the distance.

We moved several times and snorkeled in areas where dolphins might be, so by the end, I was quite exhausted, but it was a lot of fun and a unique experience! I think it was the right choice to do this on the last day since it requires a lot of energy.

All the staff were very nice, and I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii and create wonderful memories.

朝6:05集合のため、眠たいまま集合する感じでした。バスの中では説明があるので、眠ることは出来ません。この説明はしっかり聞いておかなきゃです。
あと、朝食はとっておくことをオススメします!かなり体力を使うので、フラフラになりました。ホテルで酔い止めを飲んでいたので、船酔いはしませんでした。
前日が1日中雨だったので心配でしたが、当日は晴天(*^^*)野生のイルカは100%見れるわけではないと説明があり、ドキドキしながら船上!
当日は全体で9隻海に出でいたらしいのですが、なかなかイルカが見つからず(>_<)先に海ガメに行くことになりました。
海に飛び込むときは、ドキドキ!!
すぐに海ガメと遭遇出来き、3回も会えて、そのうち一匹は70歳のオスで大きくて感動(^-^)vオスは珍しいとガイドさんの説明がありました。息継ぎする姿が可愛い‼
海もお魚もとてもキレイでした。
一旦、船に上がるとイルカがが見つかったと情報があり一安心。
イルカを探しに移動して、発見!
野生のイルカは一瞬で通り過ぎてしまうので、ガイドさんの合図を聞き逃さないようにした方がいいです。
下を何頭か通り過ぎたり、遠目でジャンプしたのを見ることが出来ました(^-^)
何度か移動して、イルカのいそうなところでシュノーケリングするので最後はフラフラになりますが、とっても楽しめてなかなか出来ない体験!
かなり体力も使うので、最終日にして正解だったと思います。
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方で、ハワイを満喫出来いい思い出が作れました。

Since it was a half-day course, I thought it might be a bit lacking, but I was fortunate to have kind lectures and even meet a sea turtle "Little Buddy," making it a very satisfying and exciting tour. The interactions with Mr. Dan during the transportation were enjoyable, and my nice partnership with Chieko-san also made me feel happy. Mahalo!!!

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Spring Break 2016

Reviewed by: Manoa mom

My daughter and a friend decided to stay in Oahu over spring break instead of coming home. They had planned bus trips for Hanauma Bay as well as North Shore during the week. After having a horrible time with the bus schedules and waiting to get to their destinations, I decided to get them tickets for the shuttle. So glad I did! They had a really good time, hassle free of buses and hotel pick up and drop off was perfect for them. The trip to the bay made their spring break! So glad I found this site, and we will use them again when we visit her over Thanksgiving this year!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

The guide... ガイドさんが、、、

Reviewed by: 井上暢子

I had a female Japanese guide who took care of us from the pick-up to the drop-off. She was very kind and taught us a lot! The waves were high, so we couldn't go out to the open sea that day, but on the way there and back, she shared various sightseeing spots with us, making it a fulfilling experience!

Although we couldn't go out to sea, the fish were beautiful, and the beach was not crowded, which made it very enjoyable.

I rented a wetsuit. I was worried about the size, but since the guide was there to help us change on the beach, I was able to change while chatting and getting assistance. It was very reassuring to have a dedicated guide, especially for beginners or small groups.

女性の日本人ガイドさんで、迎から送りまで1人のガイドさんが対応してくださりました。とても優しくいろいろ教えていただけましたー!
波が高くて、この日は沖のほうまでは行けませんでしたが、向かう途中や帰りいろいろ観光名所を教えてもらいながら、充実した内容になってました!
沖には行けませんでしたが、魚が綺麗で砂浜も人も少なくとても楽しかったです。

ウエットスーツをレンタルしました。
サイズ等が心配だったのですが、浜でガイドさんも一緒に着替えられるので、話をしながら手伝ってもらいながら着替える事ができました。
初心者の方や、少人数グループで専任ガイドさんやしとても安心して参加できました。

My boyfriend and I were in Hawaii last week with friends and this was one of the highlights of our trip!

Other than my spouse and I, everyone was American, and it was a bit difficult to understand the conversation, which was disappointing.

I think this was a very satisfying and memorable optional tour.

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>

Definitely worth participating. 参加する価値あり

Reviewed by: マリー

While searching for a snorkeling tour on the Big Island, I discovered this tour. The tagline "Thrilling Rafting Adventure" caught my attention, and I checked the details, which seemed quite intense! I decided to participate, looking forward to ocean rafting more than snorkeling. After arriving on the Big Island, I had the hotel’s travel desk call to confirm my participation and get detailed meeting location information. On the day of the tour, I drove to Honokohau Marina, which was easier to find than I expected, and I arrived without getting lost. Once all the participants gathered, it was time to board. Before that, the captain asked me, "Where are you from? Do you speak English?" I replied, "A little." The entire tour was in English, and it seemed like the captain and staff were not particularly inclined to communicate more than necessary with participants who were not native English speakers. By the way, the introduction mentioned that "the captain would provide a written translation of the spot descriptions in Japanese before boarding, so you can enjoy the activities without a language barrier!" However, nothing was provided, and the tour started. As we set off, the boat gradually picked up speed, and the bouncing over the waves became more pronounced. I was excited to see how fast we would go. There was a rope stretched across the floor to prevent anyone from falling through, and I sat on the edge of the boat, holding onto the rope, feeling the wind, sunlight, and the blue sea directly—it was incredibly liberating! I wanted to keep going like this forever! But my backside was hurting! (laughs) A note for women: the shorts worn over a bikini sit right under your backside when you sit on the edge of the boat, and with each bounce, the back of your thighs rub against it. I recommend wearing knee-length pants. Also, they advised us to remove hats and towels to prevent them from flying away, so be sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly. At the snorkeling point, snacks, juice, and sandwiches were provided, and you could relax and eat on the boat or quickly eat and float in the sea. The coastal cliffs were breathtakingly spectacular. There might be a stronger sense of being out of place due to the few Japanese participants, but those who don’t mind can enjoy themselves thoroughly.

ハワイ島でのシュノーケリングツアーを探していると、このツアーを発見。「スリル満点のラフティングアドベンチャー」のうたい文句に引かれて詳細を確認、結構激しいらしい♪シュノーケリングよりもオーシャンラフティングに期待を膨らませて参加することに。ハワイ島に到着後、参加確認の電話をホテルの旅行会社のデスクからかけてもらい、詳しい集合位置を教えてもらう。当日はレンタカーでホノコハウ・マリーナへ。思ったよりわかりやすい場所で迷うことなく到着。ツアー参加者が揃うといよいよ乗船。その前に船長から「どこから来た?英語できる?」と聞かれ「少しね」と答える。ツアー中は全て英語、船長やスタッフにゆっくり話したり、英語が母国語ではない参加者と必要以上のコミュニケーションを取ろうという気はなさそう。ちなみに「キャプテンが英語で語るスポットの説明などを日本語に翻訳した文章を乗船前に渡してくれるので、言葉の壁なくアクティビティをお楽しみいただけます!」と紹介文にあったが、特に何もないままツアースタート。出港すると徐々にボートの速度が上がり、波を越える際のバウンドも大きくなる。どこまで速くなるのかワクワク。足元の床にロープが張ってあり、足の指を通して落ちないようにする。ボートの淵に腰かけて、ロープにつかまっているだけなので、風も、陽の光も、海の青も全てダイレクトに感じて解放感抜群!ずーっとこのまま進んで行きたい!!けどお尻が痛い!!(笑)女性の方への注意事項としては、ビキニの上に履く短パン、ボートの淵に腰かけた時にちょうどお尻の下にきて、バウンドする度に太ももの裏が擦れます。膝丈くらいのパンツを履くことをおススメします。あと、帽子やタオルは飛ばないように外してと言われるので、日焼け止めは厳重に。シュノーケリングポイントではスナックやジュース、サンドイッチが配られて、ボート上でのんびり食べてもいいし、さっさと食べてひたすら海に浮いていてもよし。断崖絶壁の海岸線は迫力満点の絶景。参加者に日本人が少ないとアウェイ感は強めかもしれないけど、気にしない人は十分に楽しめるかと。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are also pleased to hear that you enjoyed the ocean rafting and the stunning views.

Upon confirming with the local operating company regarding this matter, they mentioned that while they intended to reach out to all participants, they were unable to provide the necessary attention due to the large number of attendees on that day. We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations, especially since you were looking forward to the experience.

Additionally, although we had prepared the translated materials in Japanese, it seems they were not distributed as intended. We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to improve our services in the future.

Thank you for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

Very satisfied! 大満足!

Reviewed by: tsunejin

The shuttle bus picked us up at our accommodation, Hyatt Regency Waikiki, so the whole family participated. We signed up thinking, "Half a day on a boat sounds nice," but it was amazing!!

After leaving the harbor, we headed to the "sandbar," about 15 minutes offshore, with white sand (from coral) and a water depth of around 20 cm, covering an area of about 200 square meters. Since it's located offshore, it was a wonderful and unique experience to "walk on the sea," and our family was very satisfied!

We relaxed for about an hour before returning to the boat for a hamburger lunch while moving to the snorkeling point. During that time, we spotted a turtle—lucky us! And then, a seal?! It seems it got lost in this coral lagoon (according to YUKIKO, a Japanese staff member who has been there for 8 years, this was her first time seeing one). While snorkeling, we enjoyed the view of the mountains where Jurassic Park was filmed on our left. With life jackets provided, it was easy and comfortable. Unlike the shallow sandbar we visited earlier, the snorkeling point had a coral reef with a depth of about 5 to 10 meters surrounding an area of about 200 meters. Because of that depth, we were lucky to spot another turtle here!

It was a more enjoyable time than we expected. I highly recommend it to everyone!

送迎バスが、宿泊のハイアットリージェンシーワイキキに当たっれいたので、家族で参加。
「半日、船でゆっくりでいいかな」くらいで申し込んだのですが、最高でした!!
港を出て、15分ほど沖の「サンドバー」、水深20cm程の白砂(サンゴから)の200m四方ほど、海岸から沖にあるので、「海の上を歩く」という不思議な素敵な体験、家族して満足!
1時間ほどゆっくりして船にもどり、ハンバーガーの昼食をとりながら、シュノーケリングポイントへ移動。その間に、亀発見、ラッキー!さらにアザラシ?!どうもこのサンゴのラグーンに迷い込んだようです(日本人スタッフのYUKIKOさんの8年いて初めてとのこと)。左手にジュラシックパーク撮影の山を見ながら、シュノーケリング。ライフジャケットがあるので、楽ちん。周囲に浅瀬が取り巻く先ほどの「サンドバー」とへ違い、シュノーケリングポイントの周囲200mほどのサンゴ群の外周は5~10m深さ。その深さゆえ、ラッキーにもここでも「亀」発見!
期待以上に楽しい時間でした。ぜひ皆さん、どうぞ。

  • 出航!

  • YUKIKOさんのシャレた説明から

  • サンドバー、

  • 最高!!

  • ジュラシックパーク!

  • ライフジャケットでシュノーケリングも楽に、

  • 亀や、

  • アザラシまで!!

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

I saw the sandbar!! サンドバー見えました!!

Reviewed by: ダッフィー

The sandbar looked beautiful. I also went snorkeling, but it felt crowded and murky, like swimming with a group of people, so I couldn't see anything. If you're going to snorkel, I feel like another plan might be better. Overall, I enjoyed the sandbar, and the tour guide was very entertaining, making it a fun tour.

サンドバーは綺麗に見えました。
シュノーケリングもしたのですが、シュノーケリング部隊といったスイミーみたいな感じで泳ぐ感じなので、混雑しており水も濁り何も見えませんでした。
シュノーケリングをするなら、別のプランのほうがいいように感じました。
総合的には、サンドバーは満喫できたことと、ツアーのお姉さんがとても面白かったので楽しいツアーでした。

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Beautiful Experience

Reviewed by: Debbie

We were a group of 6 adults (family). Absolutely the best. A challenge to learn the breathing, but easy to catch on with great instruction. Then the sights and fish underwater without snorkel limitations was amazing! Two of us were return participants and Kevin our guide did not let us down.

It's too cold! 寒すぎる!

Reviewed by: ざんねんさん

On the day of the tour, it was cold on the boat, possibly due to the rain and wind. It was advertised as a BBQ, but in reality, it was grilled hamburgers. I wish they had just called it hamburgers; I thought we would be grilling the meat ourselves. The snorkeling was also cold, and everyone was shivering. At times like this, it would be nice if they provided wetsuits. I no longer want to participate in this tour.

当日は雨と風あったせいか船上でも寒かった。
それとBBQと書いてあったが実際には網焼きされたハンバーガーだった。
そらならハンバーガーって書いて欲しい、お肉を自分達が焼くのかと思ってしまう。
シュノーケリングも寒くてみんな震えていた。
こんな時はウェットスーツでも用意して欲しい。
もうこのツアーは参加したくないです。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

On the day of the tour, due to the rain and wind, I believe you may have felt colder than usual when your body got wet. As you mentioned, wetsuits do provide warmth, but please understand that we do not provide them for the tour you participated in.

Additionally, regarding the BBQ lunch you pointed out, we hope you understand that it was indicated as a BBQ hamburger on the tour page.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Extraordinary 非日常

Reviewed by: sirena

Setting off on the cruiser.
About an hour of snorkeling. The sea turtles were super close!!
They were almost too close for comfort. I was exhausted after an hour (laughs).
After that, we went cruising. The champagne was served in regular plastic cups, and they were overflowing!
It was fun. I want to do it again.

クルーザーに乗っていざ出発。
1時間ほどシュノーケル。めっちゃウミガメ近い!!
怖いくらい近かったです。1時間へとへとでした(笑)
そのあと、クルージング。シャンパンが普通のプラコップに大盛りでした!
楽しかった。またやりたいです。

It's unfortunate that it's raining. 雨降りで残念

Reviewed by: yuka

It was rainy with occasional clouds and strong winds, making it quite gloomy. I thought it would be amazing if it were sunny, but unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance. The water level at the sandbar was low, just below my knees, so that was a good thing. The snorkeling was disappointing as well, possibly due to the rain and wind; there were hardly any fish, and the sea was dark. They ask you to pair up for snorkeling! I participated alone, but since the husband of a couple who joined was observing, I teamed up with his wife, which made it easy for me to join the snorkeling even as a solo participant, so that was nice. All in all, the disappointing part was the weather. I couldn't enjoy the scenery. If you participate in rainy weather, it might be better not to have overly high expectations. I would like to go again when it's sunny next time.

雨時々曇りで風も強風でドンヨリしてました。晴れたら最高ったとは思いますが残念ながら海亀も遠くから少し見るだけでした。サンドバーの水位は低く膝下だったので~それだけは良かったです。シュノーケリングも雨と風のせいか?魚がほとんどおらず海も暗く残念でした。シュノーケリングではバディを組んで下さい!と言われます。1人で参加してましたがカップルで参加してみえた奥様の旦那様が見学されるという事で奥様とバディを組み1人参加でも難なくシュノーケリングに参加出来ましたので~それも良かったです。とにもかくにも残念なのは天気です。景色を楽しむ事は出来ませんでした。雨降りに参加される場合は過度な期待はしない方が良いかも?今度は晴れた時に又行ってみたいです。

This was my third snorkeling trip with the Fair Wind to Kealakekua Bay. Once again, another flawlessly executed experience! The crew is very friendly and accommodating, the food and drinks are consistently good, and the snorkeling and Snuba experiences are top-notch.

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

Wonderful memories!!! 素晴らしい思い出!!!

Reviewed by: とんきち

I participated with my 7-year-old son. We had been to Hawaii several times, but I thought we should have joined the dolphin tour earlier. On the day of the tour, the weather was perfect, and we happily boarded the boat. My son was a bit scared of the boat, but perhaps because he took motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel, he didn't get seasick and we arrived at the dolphin spot. He had no worries about snorkeling or swimming, so we jumped right into the water! The marine blue was crystal clear, even at depths of over 10 meters. Just swimming in this transparent sea felt amazing. Then, when the guide signaled, a group of dolphins immediately appeared before our eyes. Dolphins swimming in the water and leaping above the surface! It was astonishing and moving! I peered into the water multiple times to keep up with the guide's signals, and each time, I saw dolphins swimming gracefully. Just when my son and I were a bit tired, the signal to change spots came. As we moved to the next location by boat, we saw many sea turtles and small fish. It felt like we had entered a different world. Without taking a break, we continued swimming and watching the fish, and before we knew it, it was time to head back. We felt so disappointed; we wanted to enjoy it all day long. That was our wish, and I definitely want to participate again next time. It was an activity we should not miss. Thank you very much!

7歳の息子と参加しました。
何回かハワイには来てましたが、初めてイルカ中学に参加してもっと早くに参加しておけば良かったと思いました。
参加当日は、絶好の天気で気持ち良くボートに乗り込みました。息子は、ボートを少し怖がってましたが、酔い止めをホテル出発時に飲んでいたためか、船酔いすることもなくイルカスポットに到着。シュノーケルや泳ぎに関しては、全く不安がなかったので直ぐに海の中へ!10M以上の深さの中でも海底まで透き通るマリンブルー。この透き通った海を泳ぐだけでも、最高の気分。そうすると、ガイドの方から合図があると、沢山のイルカたちが直ぐに目に飛び込んできました。海の中で泳ぐイルカの集団や海面を飛び交うイルカの集団!なんなんだ!驚きと感動!ガイドさんの合図に遅れないように何回も海の中を覗くと何回もイルカたちがスイスイと泳いでいるのが目に飛び込んできました。息子も私も少し疲れたところで、スポット変更の合図。次のスポットに船で移動すると、次はウミガメや小さな魚たちが沢山目に入ってきた。違う世界に来た気分である。時間いっぱい休むことなく、泳ぎ続け魚たちを見ていると、あっという間に帰る時間になってしまいました。思いっきり残念な気分。一日中でも楽しみたかったのが、息子と私の思いでした。是非次回も参加したいし、参加すべきアクティビティでした。
本当にありがとうございました!
