This was my second time doing this and it was amazing both times! This time I took my 3-year-old grandson. He was excited up until it was time to get in the water. He started crying and wanting mommy and though she was there she wasn’t planning to get in the pool (I hadn’t paid for her). Anyways, the trainer saw how upset he was and asked him if he wanted to hear the dolphin fart. He stopped crying and watched as she proceeded to make the dolphin make a fart sound. She then offered to let him do it and he did which made him laugh. He then decided the dolphin was pretty cool and ended up petting her and feeding her too. It was so fun spending that time with him and I can’t wait to do it again when my granddaughter is old enough.

The all around experience from the charter boat crew to the sandbar was amazing.

The crew was so lively and made you feel welcomed. The options for activities was great!

The live music was top teir and so soothing

I highly recommend this trip!

** don't forget to bring a water proof phone case or cover!**

They are punctual and friendly. The experience of touring the memorial was great. Strongly recommended with this tour company.

This tour is undoubtedly the best must-do experience, as the title suggests!

We have experienced various tours in different countries, but this was exceptionally wonderful.

First, I want to express my gratitude to Captain Robin. I can't thank him enough. I truly feel lucky to have been on his boat!

The weather on the day was a bit cloudy, which wasn't ideal, but there were so many amazing highlights.

- From the captain and the crew, we felt a warm response and consideration, always wanting the tour participants to have a great time.

- There was attentive support from a crew member who spoke Japanese, which provided a sense of security.

- During snorkeling time, I was terrified and couldn't swim in the deep sea where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but they always offered very kind encouragement and support (I think it's good to let them know in advance if you're not a strong swimmer).

- The experience of swimming up close with sea turtles will remain a lifelong memory.

- I'm not sure if there are restrictions on the number of boats, but it wasn't crowded with boats and people like typical tourist spots, allowing us to fully enjoy nature.

- Not only were there cute and sacred sea turtles, but there were also large and beautiful fish, creating a spectacular scene. Everyone was swimming very relaxed and at ease. We even saw an eel!

I could go on about the many points that made me extremely satisfied, but overall, it was just amazing! I gave a generous tip when disembarking to express my gratitude, but my appreciation for the crew, who provided such a fun and moving experience, has not faded. Even now, after returning home, I feel like sending an additional tip! (laughs)

Next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride on Captain Robin's boat again! Thank you so much!!

タイトル通り、間違いなく最高の必須ツアーです！

私達はこれまでも様々な国でツアーを経験してきましたが、格別にに素晴らしい経験となりました。

まずお伝えしたいのは、キャプテンのRobinさんの素晴らしさ。彼には感謝してもしきれません。
Robinさんの船に乗ることができたのは、本当にラッキーだったと思います！

当日の天気は少し曇りで最高とはいきませんでしたが、以下のような素晴らしいポイントがたくさんありました。

・キャプテンをはじめクルーの皆さんからは、常にツアー参加者に心から楽しんでもらいたいという温かな対応や気遣いを感じられました

・日本語ができるクルーによる親身なフォローがあり、安心感があります。

・シュノーケリングタイムでは、足が全くつかない深い海では恐怖で泳げなくなってしまう私に、常に非常に優しい声がけとサポートをしてくれました（泳ぎが苦手な方は予め伝えておくと良いと思います）。

・ウミガメと間近で一緒に泳ぐことができた経験、一生思い出に残るものとなりました。

・船数の規制があるのかはわかりませんが、観光地でありがちの、あちこち船だらけ人だらけ、ということもなく、存分に自然を満喫することができます。

・可愛いく神聖なウミガメ達だけでなく、大きくてキレイな魚達もいて壮観です。みんな非常にリラックスしてゆったり泳いでいます。ウツボもみれました！

まだまだ大満足ポイントを挙げたいところですが、とにかく最高でした！
下船時に感謝の気持ちを込めて多めにチップを渡しましたが、終始楽しく感動的な経験をさせてくれたクルーの皆さんへの感謝の気持ちは未だ冷めやらずです。帰国後の今でも追加でチップを送金させてもらいたいレベルです！笑

今度ハワイに行く時も、必ずまたキャプテンのRobinさんの船に乗りにいきます！
本当にありがとうございました！！

It feels like you can enjoy your meal while watching. The variety and amount of food and drinks are just right. With Alii Seat, you get priority entry and can grab the buffet first, and the staff at your table quickly ask for your drink orders and bring them to you. The show isn't flashy, but you can enjoy it casually while eating and drinking. If you don't understand English, you'll just have to enjoy the atmosphere.

食べながら見るという感じですが食べ物、飲み物の種類と量もちょうど良い感じです。
Alii Seatだと優先的に入れてブッフェも先に取れるし飲み物もテーブル担当の方が直ぐに聞いて持って来てくれます。
ショーは派手さはないですけど飲み食いしながら気楽に楽しめる感じです。
英語がわからなければ雰囲気で楽しむしかないですけど。

Crew was incredibly friendly & helpful!

Everything is well explained and all the activities are well organized with a dedicated life guard at each activity!

Boat ride is very stable with minimal rocking motion and kick ass live band, being on a sandbar in middle of ocean is once in a lifetime..

It was a great experience, all the employees were very informative and friendly. The dolphins are very well cared for. I this was the highlight of my trip. I highly recommend this adventure and I will definitely do this again!

Food was OK, performance not so good, singing was awful. Nice that there is a space for children to run around

I participated alone, and this tour is definitely worth joining. It's about a 2-hour tour, but you can see a variety of fish and turtles up close through the glass, and the time passes so quickly because the content is so rich. From the dock, you board a boat and then switch to a submarine in the middle of the sea, which was an exciting experience climbing in and out of the submarine via a ladder. I had prepared a Japanese audio guide in advance, but I was too busy observing the mysterious underwater scenery in front of me to listen. Many participants were families, and the children were delighted. You can have a great time even if you participate alone.

ひとりで参加しました　このツアーは参加する価値大です　約2時間のツアーですが多品種の魚や亀をガラス越しまじかで見ることができ時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまうくらい内容が濃いツアーです　船着き場から船に乗り途中の海上で船から潜水艦に乗り換え潜水艦内に梯子で出入りする体験もわくわく感があって楽しかったです　録音する日本語ガイドも事前に用意しておきましたが
目の前に映る神秘的な海底の様子を観察することに忙しく聴くことはありませんでした　参加者は家族連れが多く子供達は喜んでいました　ひとりで参加しても十分楽しめます

I visited Hawaii for the first time for my wedding and honeymoon. It was a very refreshing and wonderful experience.

This time, I went to the meeting place by rental car. On the day of the tour, I happened to check my email and found a message from the tour company saying, "There will be a canoe race tomorrow, and there may not be parking available. If you need a shuttle bus, please come to ○○ Hotel around 9:10 AM. If you are coming by car and the parking is full, please park at ○○ and walk over."

I noticed this at 9 AM, but fortunately, it was at the hotel next door, so I greeted my parents and hurried over. However, I received another email saying, "The shuttle is fully booked." In the end, we went by rental car (laughs).

The reason was that there were overlapping events on the weekend. I realized that I should definitely check my emails, as you never know what might happen (laughs).

During the trip, I planned to use Wi-Fi and LINE, so I had disabled the international calling feature. Perhaps they had tried to call me the day before (＾＾；).

When we arrived at the location, luckily there was one parking spot available at the boat harbor, and we were able to park the car safely.

After parking, I wasn't sure where the reception was, but when I asked a police officer at the entrance of the port in English, he kindly walked with me to show me the way, saying, "It's at the very back under the blue roof" (＾＾).

At the reception area, there were many people, and I couldn't find the check-in for my tour. While my husband and I were looking around, a woman in a blue shirt called out my name, so we were able to check in successfully (＾＾).

During the tour, important explanations were given separately to the Japanese group and the English-speaking group, with explanations provided in each language.

Regarding our belongings, the boat we boarded was divided into two levels. On the first floor, there were baskets under the seats where we could store our bags. On the second floor, we could access our items by opening the seat lids, so there was no worry about dropping anything into the sea.

While everyone was swimming, there were always one or two Japanese staff members or local staff on board to provide free drinks. It was reassuring to know they were there when we returned from the sea♪

I had some concerns about the amount of belongings and the size of our bags, but it turned out to be very reassuring. However, just in case something fell into the sea, it might be better not to take the original passport (laughs).

At the sandbar, the tide hadn't completely gone out, so there was seawater up to my knees, but the scenery was still amazing! There were staff members who were great at taking photos, and they took many pictures for us♪

From the sandbar, we could see the mountains of Kualoa, which was lovely ❤️.

The tour schedule on the website mentioned a 30-40 minute free time, but we actually had an hour, which allowed us to relax.

After practicing snorkeling and taking photos, when we returned to the boat and looked out from the second floor, we saw overseas tourists having a great time playing beach volleyball (laughs).

There was one double float, so there were couples leisurely floating around. We enjoyed sipping free drinks on the boat and had a wonderful time♡ The burgers we had on board were also incredibly delicious♫.

After that, we all moved by boat to go snorkeling. There were many small, cute fish around the coral! I was having so much fun filming in 4K on my smartphone that I could have watched them forever♡

Next, we moved to another location for turtle watching. Since we were split into two groups on the boat, when turtles were spotted on the other side, I was too lazy to move (laughs) as it felt a bit dangerous with the crowd.

But I was glad we were able to spot turtles on our side too!

When I later uploaded the videos I took, the turtles' faces were quite clear in the footage♪

The day before, we had to give up

結婚式＋新婚旅行を兼ねて、初めてハワイを訪れました。
とても新鮮で素晴らしい経験ができました


今回はレンタカーで集合場所に行きました。
当日たまたま、それとなくメールを見たら
ツアー会社からメールが来ていて

『明日カヌーのレースがあり、駐車場に空きがない可能性があります。シャトルバスの送迎が必要な場合、○○ホテルに9時10分ごろ来てください。車でおこしの場合は満車の場合、○○に止めて歩いてお越し下さい』と、ありました。


9時に気づいたのですが、幸い隣のホテルだったため
両親に挨拶して急いで向かったところ
もう一つメールが来ていて
「シャトルが予約で満席になってしまいました」とあり
結局、レンタカーで向かいました（笑）


理由は土日でイベントが重なってしまったからでした。
何かあるか分からないので
ちゃんとメールは見るべきだなと思いました（笑

今回、旅行中は全てWi−Fi利用、LINE利用のつもりでいたので
国際通話の機能を無効化していました。
もしかしたら、前日に電話をくれていたのかも(＾＾；)


現地に向かうと、幸いボートハーバーで1つ空きがあり
無事に車も止める事ができました♩


駐車した後、どこが受付かわからなかったのですが
港の入口にいた警察官に英語で聞いたところ
「一番奥の青い屋根のところだよ」と
見えるところまで一緒に歩いて教えてくれました（＾＾）



受付場所には色んな人たちがいて
自分の参加するツアーの受付が分からず
主人と見渡していると
青いシャツを着た女性が名前を呼んでくれたので
無事に受付する事ができました（＾＾）


ツアー中、大事な説明が入る時は
日本人グループと、英語を話す人グループに分けられ
それぞれの言語で説明をしてくれました。


また荷物に関してですが
私たちが乗った船は１階と２階に分かれていて

１階は座席の下にカゴが置いてあったので
荷物はそこに置いておく事ができました。

2階は、座席の蓋を開けての出し入れだったので
海に物が落ちる心配もありませんでした。


みんなで泳ぎに出てる時なんかは
フリードリンクがいつでも提供できるように
日本人スタッフ、現地スタッフの人たち誰か1、2人が
必ず船内にいてくれました。
海から戻ると安心感もありました♪

持ち物の量やカバンの大きさ、置き場所に不安はありましたが
とっても安心しました。
でも万が一　海に落とすと怖いので
パスポート原本は持って行かない方がいいかも（笑）


サンドバーは
潮が完全に引いておらず膝下まで海水はありましたが
それでも素晴らしい景色でした！
写真を撮るのが上手なスタッフさんもいて
たくさん写真を撮っていただきました♪

サンドバーからはクアロアの山々も見えて
素敵でした❤️


サイト申込時のツアースケジュールには
30−40分のフリーとありましたが
私たちの時は1時間もあって、ゆっくり過ごす事ができました。

シュノーケリングの練習をしたり、写真を撮ったりしたあと
船内に戻り2階から景色を見ていると
海外観光客の方たちはとっても楽しそうに
ビーチバレーをしていらっしゃいましたw

1つだけ2人乗りの浮き輪があったので
ゆったり浮かんでるカップルもいました。

船内でゆっくりフリードリンクを飲んだり
素敵な時間を過ごせたとおもます♡
船上で食べるバーガーもめっちゃ美味しかったです♫


その後はみんなで船で移動して
シュノーケリングをしました。

サンゴの周りには
小さくて可愛らしいお魚が沢山いました！
スマホの4Kで撮ってて楽しくて
いつまででも見ていられそうでした♡


その後はタートルウォッチングのために
また場所を移動しました。
船内で二手に分かれていたので
反対側で見つかった時は
移動が面倒臭くて動きませんでしたw
（人も偏ってて危ない気もしましたし）

でも自分たちが居たサイドでも
無事に見つけられて良かったです！

撮った動画を後でアップしてみると
かなりハッキリと顔が見えていました♪


前日にスコールに当たり
海亀がいるビーチに行くのを断念していたので
無事見れて満足です✨✨✨


港に戻る時も海亀見れて嬉しかった♡

帰りに船の中で
色んな映画の撮影現場である事も教えてもらいました♪


結構　濃密な経験ができた日だったと思います♡

My wife and I experienced horseback riding for the first time. I was worried that the two-hour course might be too long for us at 60 years old, but it ended in no time. The scenery was amazing, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

初めて妻と２人で乗馬を体験しました。
２時間コースは６０歳の２人には長いのではないかと心配しましたが、あっという間に終わりました。景色も最高で、次も是非参加したいと思います。

The explanation about handling the paddle was good. For those who are not accustomed to handling the board, it is difficult to climb back up and stand after sinking in the sea, so I would have liked more time for thorough explanations and demonstrations in shallow areas where one can stand. I believe that practicing the basics before going out to sea would make better use of the time. I thought the price was high for the content of the activity.

パドルの取り扱いについての説明は良かったのです。
ボードの扱いが慣れていない人は、海に沈したあと這い上がるのも立ち上がるのも難しいので、足がつく浅瀬などで十分な説明と手本を見て反復練習する時間が欲しかったです。
基本の練習をしてから海上に出れば時間が有効に使えると思います。
アクティビティの内容に対して料金が高いと思いました。

We were a couple with Japanese people, and it was an easy-to-understand, enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful time with some Japanese mixed in. We even got nicknames, which made it fun to participate. I also received magic goods as a souvenir, for which I am grateful.

日本人は、我々の夫婦一組でしたが 日本語を交えてわかりやすく、楽しく、参加型で有意義なひとときでした。
あだ名もつけてもらい、面白く参加出来ました。
お土産で、マジックグッズも頂き　感謝です。

There are explanations in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not good at English can feel at ease. The free bus shuttle service also adds to the value.

(The departure times may vary depending on the season) but the first departure is early in the morning, and the tour returns just before noon, allowing you to make effective use of your time! (You won't just end up with a one-day tour.)

On the boat, drinks, chips, rice balls, and warm coffee and tea are provided, so even if you get cold, you can warm up comfortably.

I think we snorkeled for about an hour, and I was able to see sea turtles around five times. Not only could we view them from the boat, but we also got to see them up close while snorkeling. There were multiple instructors to support us during snorkeling, so even those who can't swim can feel secure. Additionally, there was someone who got stung by a jellyfish during the tour, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the instructors coordinated and provided treatment.

英語、日本語の両方で説明があるので、英語が苦手な方でも安心。
無料のバス送迎があるのもお得感があります。

（時期にもより出発時間が異なりますが）1便の方は朝早く、ツアーが終わって戻ってくるのがお昼前なので、時間を有効に使えます！（1日ツアーで終わってしまう、ということはありません。）

船にはドリンク、チップス、スパむすび、あったかいコーヒーや紅茶も用意されているので体が冷えてもほっこり温まることができます。

シュノーケリングは約1時間くらいしたと思いますが、ウミガメが5回くらい見ることができました。
船の上から眺めるだけでなく、シュノーケリングで目の前で見ることができました。
インストラクターが複数名ついてシュノーケリングをフォローしてくれるので、泳げない方でも安心です。
また、ツアー時にクラゲに刺されてしまった方がいましたが、インストラクターの方の連携、処置が早く良い意味でびっくりしました。

Good time overall! We enjoyed the dinner and show package.
Upon arrival we assumed we would be provided with the traditional lais (flower garlands) so didn't bring/wear our own, but we were told that is an additional cost...a little disappointed to come to a luau type event and not see everyone in hawaiian lais/ flowers.

The welcome drink provided was nice and there were a variety of food options available at the buffet.
We enjoyed the dancing and show during dinner... it made it more personable.
It would be great if there was more spacing at the table between guests (you're seated at a large rectangular table with other attendees) and if glasses were provided for bottles ordered (we received disposable plastic cups with the champagne we ordered)
The theatre show was overall great. It was nice to see music through time.
Wonderful singers, especially the host Chardonnay. The Chief fire dance was definitely my favorite part of the evening. You can see the work that goes into this production...it was a highlight of our trip and provided us with great memories for our hawaiian vacation! Mahalo!

I didn't expect to get covered in an incredible amount of dust while riding the four-wheeler, but it turned out to be a great memory. It was fun to explore the beautiful views at Kualoa Ranch. I was a bit disappointed that there was only an English guide available.

四輪バギーで、半端ない程のホコリ塗れになるとは思ってもおりませんでしたが、それはそれで良い思い出になりました。
クアロアランチの景色の良い所を回るので、楽しかったです。
英語ガイドしかなかったのが、ちょっと残念でした。

This was an outstanding luau. I had read some reviews complaining that drive there goes through a industrial area. Who cares!? Once you arrive you are in a secluded, gorgeous property on the ocean.
The food and entertainment was outstanding. I went back for seconds on the pig, which they actually roast in the ground the traditional way.
This luau is the best bang for your buck on the island.

I was worried because it was drizzling lightly, but as we headed out to Kaneohe Bay, the weather cleared up, and it turned into a refreshing cruise. There was a sudden change with some intense ups and downs along the way, but it felt like a bit of a show. The only disappointment was that there were large clouds hanging over the mountains, which prevented us from seeing the full view of Kualoa Ranch.

小雨がパラパラとしていて心配しましたが、カネオヘ湾へ出ていくと晴れてきて、爽快なクルーズでした。途中で急にアップダウンが激しい状況になりましたが、ちょっとした演出のようでした。山側には大きな雲が垂れ込んでいて、クアロアランチ全景を眺めることが出来なかったのが唯一残念です。

An exciting adventure for all ages, lots of different activities and skill levels. I was happy to walk on the sand bar and relax on the floating platform while my young adult company enjoyed kayaking, volleyball, SUP and snorkeling. The crew was fantastic and even off the boat you could still enjoy the live music/tunes. Bring your own snacks so you won’t be hungry or buy from the mini store on the dock. We bought a bunch of breakfast items and they were delicious. I would absolutely book this again on our next visit… MAHALO

‍♂️ the warmest people on Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure were filled with Love
Calvin one of the staff members gave me a full history lesson on the 100 year history on this part of the island the jazz band was amazing entertainment was fun I wound do it all over again well worth it

Once again this year, it was a five-star experience. The seats were spacious, and we enjoyed the live performance, the food, the scenery, and above all, the beaming smile of my partner. We had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

昨年に引き続き　今回は5スター　座席もゆったり　ライブ、お料理、景観　そして何よりパートナーの満面の笑み　素敵な時間を過ごさせでいただきました
ありがとうございました

Our entire family (ages 17 to 55) really enjoyed this tour. Yoshi was a great guide and made sure we enjoyed the experience by providing chairs, warm clothing, blankets, and hot drinks. He also took pictures and gave hints on taking great pictures. Haleakalā is a great experience and is truly another world. You go above the clouds at 10K feet, so you don’t need to worry about visibility, and the star gazing is amazing. Unique and great experience!

Everyone from the bus driver to the tour crew to the barge crew were fabulous!!! We saw sea turtles, snorkeled with the beautiful fish and went paddle boarding. What a great way to spend our day! Highly recommend!

I took a day trip to Lanai Cat Sanctuary, using the ferry that departs Maui at 6:30 AM and returns from Lanai at 5:30 PM.

Both on the way there and back, you just need to show the reservation email or state your name at the boarding area, and the staff will quickly confirm and issue your ticket using a tablet. The ferry has plenty of seating, and they broadcast what seems to be a local Hawaiian TV station.

I didn't feel much on the way there, but on the return trip, the waves were higher in the evening, causing the ferry to sway significantly, and I experienced severe motion sickness. According to my family, there is a part where the ferry briefly goes out into open water, which can change the tide flow suddenly.

When I immediately told the staff that I felt unwell, they handed me a bag and instructed me to "go out to the deck." Many passengers followed suit, so it seems that motion sickness is quite common. I recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand.

Once I got to the deck, it was difficult to even reach the restroom, and I spent about 30 minutes hunched over with my face in the bag. However, a crew member, who seemed to be the captain, kindly gave me a bottle of water and said, "Putting this on the back of your neck will help." Unfortunately, I still felt unwell, but I was relieved that the crew was completely accustomed to dealing with seasick passengers and treated everyone calmly and kindly.

It was an intense experience, but despite the mishaps, my trip to Lanai has become a wonderful memory, and I definitely want to visit again. While it seems there is also access by plane, I would absolutely choose to take the ferry again, prepared for motion sickness.

ラナイ・キャット・サンクチュアリ目当ての日帰り旅で、朝6時30分マウイ島発、夕方17時半ラナイ島発の便を利用しました。

行きも帰りも乗り場で予約時のメールを見せるか、名前を名乗るとすぐにスタッフがタブレットで確認して発券してくれます。船内は客席も十分にあり、ハワイのローカル局と思われるTVを放送しています。

行きはあまり感じなかったのですが、帰りは夕方で波が高くなるため大きく船が揺れ、ひどい船酔いを経験しました。家族いわく一瞬外洋に出る部分があるので潮の流れが一瞬で変わってしまうそうです。

すぐに「気分が悪い」とスタッフに伝えると、袋を渡され「デッキに出るといい」と指示されました。私の後にも続々と乗客が出てきたので、かなりの確率で船酔いが起こると思われます。酔い止めを事前に飲んでおくのをお勧めします。
いざデッキに出るとトイレにまでたどり着くことも困難で、ずっと袋に顔を突っ込んだまま30分ほどうずくまっていましたが、船長と思しきクルーの方が「これを首の後ろにつけると気持ちがいいよ」とペットボトルの水をくださいました。あいにくずっと気分は悪いままでしたが、船酔いする乗客にクルーも完全に慣れっこな様子で、皆落ち着いて優しく対応してくれたことにホッとしました。

壮絶な体験ではありましたが、ハプニングも込みでラナイ島行きは最高の想い出で必ず再訪したい場所になりました。飛行機でのアクセスも可能なようですが、船酔い覚悟でまた絶対フェリーで臨みたいです。

This was a great time for my family!! The check in process was very easy and we got many great pics! Dinner was also great and the staff was super polite. The weather can't be helped and we had a windy time on the water, but we all managed.

The crew was so kind and professional. We had an amazing time snorkeling and seeing the fish/turtles! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

This was a fabulous tour. Johnny and Keely were great guides. This was a ton of fun, but be warned, you will get dirty and quite possibly a little wet. Highly recommend this activity.

I was relieved to meet the Beltora staff right away, who kindly guided me to the meeting point in easy-to-understand Japanese. I would like to request Beltora again next time, feeling assured.

直ぐに、ベルトラスタッフの方に会え、分かりやすい日本語で丁寧に、待ち合わせ場所を案内して頂き、安堵しました。
次回も安心出来るベルトラで、お願いしたいです。

Whenever I'm planning to join a tour, I always wonder if it'll be fun for the kids too. Even though it's a bit pricier, choosing the Friday luau in the courtyard by the lagoon was a great choice! Even if the kids got a bit bored halfway through, they could play on the grass for a bit. And the best part was it was free for kids under 4, which was super awesome! What made me even happier was the kids buffet corner, with kid-friendly foods like Tater tots, Teriyaki chicken, and meatballs etc. We made some fantastic family memories in Hawaii.

The show was a blast, featuring dances from the various Polynesian islands.
There were even a few fire dancers, which the kids absolutely loved.

We were bummed we couldn't see the final fireworks from our seats, but watching them up close from right in front of the hotel was an incredible experience. Totally satisfied!

The only participants from Japan were us, but the staff were very kind. I checked the precautions in a Japanese video. There was a hole in the seat I sat in, and my backside got wet (from water after washing the car), but I quickly forgot about that while riding through the magnificent scenery, covered in dust. My wife was busy taking photos and videos while we were riding, but she stopped at key points for explanations and commemorative photos. It was very dusty, and it was quite a hassle when we got back. But it was fun. The dining area is a bit cramped, so when the bus tours return, a lot of people gather and form a line to order. We had our meal early, so there was no one around. There’s a sign that says "Order Here" on the far right of the food service area, so you can order there, pay at the register, and just wait for the buzzer to go off when your order is ready. The burgers are huge, so for an elderly couple like us, sharing one is just about right. I recommend having a meal before starting, as your mouth will get dusty too. Enjoy!

日本人の参加者は私達だけでしたが、スタッフの方々が親切に対応してくれました。注意事項は日本語のビデオで確認しました。私の座ったシートに穴が開いていて、お尻が濡れてしまいましたが（洗車した後の水）、そんな事もすぐに忘れるくらい壮大な景色の中を埃まみれで走りました。妻は走りながら写真にビデオに忙しそうでしたが、要所要所で止まって説明と記念写真です。とにかく埃で、帰ってきたときは大変でした。でも楽しかったです。食堂が少し狭いので、バスのツアーが帰ってくるとたくさんの人が集中してオーダーの列が出来ます。私たちは早めの食事をとったので、誰もいなかったです。食事を提供している所の一番右にオーダーヒヤーと書いた看板があるので、そこでオーダーしてレジでお金を払い、出来上がるまでブルブルが鳴るのを待っていればOKです。バーガーがでかいので、私たちの様な老夫婦でしたら、1個を二人で分け合ってちょうど良いくらいです。スタート前の食事をお勧めします。口の中も埃だらけになるからです。楽しんでください。
