野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>

One person participating. 一人参加

Reviewed by: lol

I was the only one participating alone, surrounded by couples and families. I felt a bit lonely on the shuttle bus, but once I boarded, the staff greeted me, and my worries were dispelled! I was able to see dolphins and turtles safely! Additionally, I was able to see a monk seal, which is a rare sight. I'm grateful for the staff's thoughtfulness!

一人での参加は他におらず、周りはカップルとファミリーばかりでした。行き送迎バスで少し孤独を感じていましたが、いざ乗船するとスタッフの方々に声を掛けていただき、心配は払拭されました!無事、イルカ、カメにも会えました!それに滅多に見れないモンクシールも観ることができました。
スタッフの心配りに感謝です!

First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: ころまる

I challenged myself to swim with wild dolphins, but due to the cloudy weather, I only saw one far away. It was murky and hard to see, but I was glad to have encountered it. I did see a pod, but it was disappointing that I couldn't see them up close. I'm glad I had the unique experience of eating hamburgers and dancing.

野生のイルカと泳げるというので挑戦しましたが、曇りというのもあり一匹だけ遠くに見えました。濁っていてわかりにくかったですが、会えてよかったです。群れには会えたのですが近くで見れなかったのは残念でした。ハンバーガーを食べたり踊ったりなかなか出来ない体験が出来て良かったです。

Reviewed by: M&m's Mom

My 18 and 21 year old "kids" and I had an amazing afternoon aboard the Spirit of Aloha. The captain and crew were friendly and very knowledgeable about the catamaran and about the area's flora and fauna. The gear supplied was well maintained and they had the correct optical masks for both of us that were glasses. We swam with several Honu as well as dozens of tropical fish. All in all it was a fantastic day and we are so happy that we made the trip.

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

A dreamlike, enjoyable time. 夢のような楽しい時間

Reviewed by: KOA

In a word, it was an unforgettable time like a dream. The staff were all very service-oriented! With their rich experience, we encountered a pod of dolphins shortly after setting sail. That day, we were lucky enough to observe two pods of dolphins as we splashed down twice. The dolphins swam around us for a long time, allowing us to take beautiful photos with our personal waterproof cameras.

There was also plenty of time to enjoy activities like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, making it a thoroughly enjoyable tour. The dedicated photographer not only took pictures but also kept the laughter going during the boat ride thanks to him. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again and see sea turtles up close.

ひと言でいうと、夢のような忘れられない時間でした。
スタッフさんみんなサービス精神旺盛!経験も豊富なので、出航して割とすぐにイルカの群れに出逢えました。この日は運良く2回着水して2群れのイルカを観察することができました。イルカもまた私たちの周辺を長い時間行ったり来たりしてくれたため、個人の防水カメラでもキレイに写真が撮れました。
その後カヤックやスタンドアップパドルなどのアクティビティを楽しむ時間もたっぷりあって、十二分に楽しめるツアーでした。
専属のカメラマンは写真を撮ってくれるだけでなく、行き帰りの船内は彼のおかげで笑い声は絶える事がありませんでした。
また今度ハワイに行く機会があったら、再度参加してウミガメも是非間近で見てみたいと思います。

Dolphin Sensei!! The best!! イルカ先生‼︎最高です‼︎

Reviewed by: Kim

After being picked up, the instructions began. It was early in the morning, the microphone was loud, and they were talking about dolphins in a sporty way. I wondered if I could keep up with this vibe, thinking that "Dolphin Middle School" was not just a concept but something they were serious about. However, later I realized that this morning's instruction was all meticulously planned.

The staff were very kind, and it was clear that they truly loved dolphins and marine life, showing respect for them. Although I was sleepy in the morning, I received various guidance on the bus. I learned that dolphins, like humans, can have good days and bad days, sometimes wanting to be left alone, and sometimes approaching us. It might seem obvious when you think about it, but I was able to understand things I hadn't properly considered before.

If I had fallen asleep, I think I would have struggled once on the boat. I also learned for the first time not to splash my fins or make noise. I realized that the reason I hadn't encountered turtles despite swimming many times was due to my own actions. I thought I should become someone who doesn't disturb marine life and can coexist with them.

It seems that the dolphin was in an incredibly good mood that day! I am truly grateful! At first, I thought, "What does it mean to call a dolphin a teacher?" But from the moment I met the dolphin, I quietly shouted in my heart, "Dolphin-sensei!" The dolphin was amazing. The staff were amazing too. I believe that coming to Hawaii and creating this memory is truly the best. This tour is possible because the staff love dolphins. Thank you very much!

ピックアップしてもらった後、
インストラクションがはじまり、
朝早いしマイクの音は大きいし、イル中体育会系とかいってるし、
イルカ中学って、コンセプトだけじゃなくて、本気でいってるんだ…このノリについていけるかしら…
と思っていましたが、
この朝のインストラクションも、すべて綿密に考えられているんだ、ということを後になって思いました。
スタッフのみなさん、とても親切で、なによりもイルカや海の生き物を愛しているんだ、愛していて、敬意をはらっているんだというのが伝わりました。
朝眠いけど、バスの中でいろいろと案内してもらって、
イルカ先生は人間と同じで気分がいい時もあるし、わるい時もあるし、そっとしておいてほしいときもあるし、向こうから近づいてくれることもあるし、と、
なるほど、考えてみれば当たり前のことかもしれないけど、今まできちんと考えられなかったことを、
ちゃんと教えてもらって理解できました。
多分寝てしまうと、船にのってからしんどかったと思います。
また、フィンをバタバタやらない、音をたてない、
というのを初めてしり、
今まで何回も泳いでいても、なかなかカメさんに遭遇できなったのは、自分に原因があるのだな、
もっと海の生き物に、邪魔にならなくて、一緒にいさせてもらえるようになろう、
と思えました。
さて、イルカ先生はどうやらものすごく機嫌のいい日だったようで!!
本当に感謝です!
初めは、イルカ先生って…先生ってなんだよ…
と思っていましたが、イルカ先生に会えた瞬間から、
心の中でイルカセンセー‼︎
と静かに叫んでいました。
イルカ先生最高です。
スタッフのみなさんも最高です。
ハワイにきて、この思い出ができたら、本当に最高だと思います。
イルカを愛してるスタッフのみなさんだからこそ、できるツアーだと思います。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

I experienced the best moment ❤️ 最高の瞬間を体験できました❤️

Reviewed by: ゆうなり

This was the only tour I participated in during my first visit to Maui, and I had a wonderful time. I was picked up from the hotel at 6:30 AM and after picking up a few others, we headed to the port. At the port, we signed a waiver before boarding and received our tickets, which were provided in Japanese, so I felt reassured. There were 149 people from various backgrounds that day, but only three groups of five Japanese, including myself. If you line up early for boarding, you can get on the boat sooner and secure your preferred seat.

Depending on the boat you take, this may vary, but for those prone to seasickness, sitting slightly forward in the middle of the lower deck might be best. There are restrooms on both sides of the middle section, which can be left open when not in use, causing some odor, while the back of the middle section had a noticeable gasoline smell from the engine. I’m not very strong with vehicles either, but I didn’t experience any seasickness or motion sickness from the large waves at sea.

Once on board, as I had worried, various explanations were given repeatedly in English. During these times, our guide Takako gathered the Japanese guests and summarized the information in Japanese, which was comforting. The boat had various regulations, but I felt they were taking proper care of everyone’s safety. The light breakfast served after boarding and the hearty hamburger lunch after our stay at Molokini Island were both surprisingly delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unlimited drinks available at the bar until we returned to port after all activities.

If you want to rent underwater cameras or wetsuits for activities, there are rental fees, so it’s a good idea to bring some cash. Items like noodles and life jackets are available for free. There isn’t a safe for valuables on the boat, so you need to manage your belongings yourself. It’s best not to bring more than necessary.

The waters around Molokini Island are very clear, allowing for beautiful views of the fish. The coastline has coral, so you can see fish up close, but be careful not to get too close due to the waves. The seawater isn’t too cold, and the hour of snorkeling flew by. After that, we moved to a spot known for a high encounter rate with sea turtles, which was my main goal. I heard Takako, who was on a surfboard, calling out when she spotted a turtle, and I was able to meet my first turtle. I encountered a total of four turtles of various sizes, and one swam right beside me as I turned, and while I felt I should avoid it, I got so caught up in taking pictures. Of course, Takako gently reminded me afterward, and I apologized. But it was a truly wonderful experience, and I felt lucky and grateful.

As for the schedule, it was roughly as follows, just for reference. Please consider this as an approximate outline of what happened this time: 30 minutes for pickup and travel to the port, 1 hour by boat to Molokini Island, 1 hour at the Molokini point, 1 hour to move to the turtle point, 1 hour at the turtle point, 1 hour to return to port, and 30 minutes for the drive back to the hotel. This was the timing with a smooth progression.

During the boat ride and snorkeling, Takako took great care of us. For the pickup on the way back, another Japanese guide (I didn’t catch their name, and I apologize if I forgot) assisted us. Especially on the return, I was the only solo traveler, so I got to sit in the front seat and had a great time chatting along the way. When I mentioned that I hadn’t encountered any turtles near Black Rock close to the hotel, they shared some points where I might be able to see them. I plan to give it a try in the coming days. It was truly a wonderful tour, including the guides, and I would love to join the same tour company again when I come back. Thank you very much.

初めてのマウイ島で、厳選して唯一参加したツアーでしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
朝6時半にホテルに迎えにきてもらい、何人かをピックアップしてから港へ。港では乗船前に規約書にサインして引き換えに乗船券をもらいますが、ちゃんと日本語で書かれたものがあるので安心です。いろんなところから集まったいろんな人種の人々がこの日は149人いましたが、日本人は私を含め、3組5名のみでした。乗船のために並ぶ列は早めに並ぶと、船内へ早く入れるので自分好みの席を確保できます。
乗る船が変われば参考になりませんが、酔いやすい人は揺れにくい下のフロアの真ん中より少し前寄りがベストかもしれません。真ん中両サイドにトイレがあり未使用時には開けっ放しなので臭いが、真ん中より後ろはエンジンのガソリン臭が気になりました。ちなみに私も乗り物にはあまり強くないですが、船酔いも海上での大波が連続することでの波酔いも全くありませんでした。
乗船すると、心配していた通り、いろんな説明が英語で何度もされることに。そういう時はガイドのタカコさんが日本人を集めて、要約して日本語で説明してくれたので安心でした。船にはいろいろ規定がありますが、一人一人の安全に対してきちんとしてくれてるなあと思いました。乗船後に出た軽い朝食も、モロキニ島滞在の後の移動時間に出たガッツリハンバーガーの昼食も予想以上に美味しく、全てのアクティビティが終わった後の帰港するまでにバーでオーダーできる飲み放題のアルコールもたっぷり楽しめました。
アクティビティ用の水中カメラやウエットスーツなどをレンタルしたい場合はレンタル料がかかるので、多少のお金は持って行った方が良いと思います。マスクやフィン以外でも、ヌードルやライフジャケットなどの小物は無料で貸してもらえます。船内に貴重品入れがあるわけではないので、持ち物は自己管理。必要以上のものは持っていかないのが無難です。
モロキニ島周辺は、透明度が高く、魚がキレイに見られます。海岸沿いはサンゴがあるので魚を近くで見られますが、波があるので近づきすぎには注意してください。海水もさほど冷たくなく、シュノーケリング時間の約1時間があっという間でした。その後、私的には本命だったウミガメの遭遇率が高いポイントへ移動。サーフボードに乗ったタカコさんがウミガメを見つけて周りに知らせてくれてた声を聞いて、最初のウミガメに出会うことができました。その後も合計4匹の大小様々なウミガメに出会い、1匹は横を向いたらすぐそばを泳いでいて、避けなきゃいけないと思いつつ、写真を撮ることに夢中になってしまいました。もちろん後でタカコさんに優しくたしなめられました、ごめんなさい。でも、とても素敵な時間を過ごせたポイント。幸運だったなと感謝しました。
スケジュールはおおよそですが、参考までに。あくまで今回はこんな感じだったという程度に考えてください。ピックアップ&港への車移動に30分、船でモロキニ島までの移動に1時間、モロキニ島ポイント1時間、ウミガメポイントへ移動に1時間、ウミガメポイント1時間、帰港するのに1時間、港からホテルまでの車移動に30分。スムーズに進行してこのくらいってことで。
船の中やシュノーケリング中はガイドのタカコさんにいろいろとお世話してもらいました。行き帰りのピックアップでは、別の日本人ガイドさん(お名前は聞かなかったと思いますが、失念したならごめんなさい)にお世話していただきました。特に帰りは1人客が私だけだったので、助手席に座らせてもらい、道すがらいろんな話が出来て楽しかったです。ホテルの近くのブラックロックでまだ亀に遭遇できないと話すと、会えそうなポイントを教えてくれました。明日以降チャレンジしたいと思います。ガイドさんたちを含め本当に素敵なツアーだったので、また次に来た時は、同じツアー会社の企画に参加したいなと思います。ありがとうございました。

My long-awaited dream! 念願の!

Reviewed by: aice

Last year, I had to just observe because I wasn't feeling well, so this year was my long-awaited participation! It was just amazing... Not only did I get to have a class with Dolphin Sensei, but I also swam for a long time with Professor Turtle, and I really think it changed my life. During Dolphin Sensei's class, the snorkeling was a bit fragmented, and I thought it might be physically challenging, but I was able to swim as much as I wanted during the subsequent snorkeling, and it was so much fun! I thought I might go two or three times during my stay, haha.

Oh, and the boat was upgraded, which was great! My mother was happy that it was easier for her to jump in. Our belongings didn't get wet, and it was clean, so we could enjoy ourselves without any worries.

去年参加した際、体調が悪く見学になってしまったため、今年は念願の参加でした!
もう、なんていうか最高でした…
イルカ先生に授業してもらえただけでなく、カメ大教授とも長く泳げたし、たぶん本当に人生変わったと思います。
イルカ先生の授業の時はシュノーケリングが細切れ?で、ちょっと体力的に大変かな?とも思ったのですが、その後のシュノーケリングを満足するまで泳げて楽しかった〜♡
滞在中2、3回いってもいいかもと思いました笑

そうだ!船がグレードアップしててよかったです!

We reserved shuttle service. We were waiting at the pick up point from 10min before the pickup time. We couldn't find the shuttle. We were waiting and I called to the office 10min later of pick up time. They said that they yelled out my name, but I didn't hear. They just left. Why not calling to me?
So, I took a taxi to get there with my money. BOB tour was canceld, because of lack of people. So, we joined to another group.
Totally lack of responsibility. I don't trust that they yelled out my name at the pickup point.

Snorkeling in the sea with dolphins. イルカと一緒の海でスノーケル

Reviewed by: chi-

I signed up for this tour because I love dolphins.

We stopped the boat in an area where dolphins are often seen, and when I entered the water and followed the instructor, there were dolphins right below my feet!!

It felt more like seeing dolphins in the same ocean (the same space) from a distance rather than swimming with them. For someone like me who wanted to swim together, it was a bit unsatisfying.

However, with short fins and simple life jackets provided, I think this tour can be enjoyed even by those who are anxious about swimming or lack physical strength.

On the boat, the co-captain was very engaging, which made the experience enjoyable. It was also clear that the other staff members were trying to entertain the guests, which was great.

Thank you very much.

大好きなイルカと泳げるとのことでこのツアーに申し込みました。

イルカがよくいるところに船を停めて、入水しインストラクターさんについていくと足元の下の下のほうにイルカが!!

一緒に泳ぐというよりは、遠くのほうにいるイルカを同じ海の中(同じ空間)で見る感じでした。
一緒に泳ぎたかった私にとってはちょっと物足りなかったです。

ただ、フィンも短く簡易なライフジャケットがあるので泳ぎに不安がある人や体力に自信がない方でも十分に楽しめるツアーかと思います。

I boarded a boat with people from various countries, and the Japanese guide was very considerate, providing the right information to ensure we had a comfortable experience. I can speak a little English, but I was really glad to have the Japanese guide with us.

The water clarity around Molokini Island was breathtaking, and I was able to see a lot of tropical fish. We also went snorkeling at a spot with sea turtles, but it was unfortunate that many people rushed to the turtle spot at the same time, making it quite crowded underwater. The turtles might have been bothered by it too.

I drove to the meeting point with a rental car, but I had trouble because I didn't have a clear map of the boat's location at the port. However, I received clear instructions in English over the phone, so even though I was late, I was glad I made it in time for the departure.

色々な国の方と一緒に船に乗りますが、日本語のガイドの方がとても気を利かせてくださり、快適に過ごすことができるように適切に情報を教えてくださいました。多少英語ができますが、日本語のガイドの方がいて本当に良かったと思いました。
モロキニ島周囲の水の透明度は感動的で、熱帯魚も沢山見ることができました。海亀のいるスポットでもシュノーケリングしましたが、大勢が一斉に亀スポットに向かったために海中で芋洗い状態になったのが残念でした。亀も迷惑だったかも。
レンタカーで集合場所に行きましたが、きちんと港での船の場所の地図を把握できていなかったため、港に着いてから困りました。電話でわかりやすい英語で教えていただけたので時間には遅刻してしまいましたが、出航には間に合って良かったです。

野生のイルカウォッチング&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる!<ランチ付き/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎/日本語または英語ガイド>

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles! イルカもウミガメも見れました!

Reviewed by: たけたけ

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming in a pod for the first time. I also got to see sea turtles up close in the water... it was moving. The hamburger for lunch was delicious too!

The group I joined consisted entirely of Japanese customers. Perhaps because of that, a Japanese female crew member was there from the pickup, which made me feel at ease. I participated at the end of June, and since it was quite windy, I followed the advice of the Japanese female crew member and borrowed a wetsuit over my rash guard. As a result, the water temperature was comfortable, and I didn't feel too cold while on the boat.

By the way, it might be good to have a chamois towel (which you can use to wipe off most of the moisture and can be reused if you wring it out towards the sea) and a dry beach towel (to use as much as possible without getting wet, draping it over your back) with you. The air conditioning on the return bus is strong too...

初めて野生のイルカが群れをなして泳ぐところを見ることができました。ウミガメも海の中で、至近距離で見ることができ・・・感動。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!

私が参加したグループは日本人のお客さんばかりでした。それもあってか?日本人女性のクルーがピックアップの時点からいてくださっていて、安心でした。
参加したのは6月末ですが、風が強かったこともあり、日本人女性クルーのアドバイスに従ってラッシュガードの上からさらにウェットスーツを借りて着ました。結果、海の水温もそれで心地よく、船上に上がっている時もあまり寒くありませんでした。
ちなみに、セームタオル一本(これで主な水分を拭き取る。海に向かって絞れればまた使えるので便利)と、乾いたビーチタオル(なるべく最後まで濡らさず背中にかけたりして使う)があると良いかもしれません。
帰りのバスも、冷房が強いですので・・・。

Hawaii Nautical 2-Hour Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Sail - Morning & Afternoon Tours [Apr-Nov]

We did See Turtles!

Reviewed by: Troy

As in the title we definitely saw turtles on the trip. I was however disappointed with an $89 each cost associated. We were picked up and driven to the marina which is at Waikiki and could have walked there quicker. We took the early 8 am tour which departed around 8:30 and minutes later we were in the water and swimming with the turtles which was great. Outside of the turtles there wasn't much more to see. After less than an hour of snorkeling I was told to get back on the boat to depart. Ten minutes later we were exiting the boat. There was no time to enjoy the "open bar" really at all, and it was only 9 am. For the money we should have at least got some extra time on the boat cruising around, maybe a loop back toward Pearl or something. I'm not saying don't do it but we saw just as many turtles off a rented stand up board on Waikiki for $25/hr. That said, the crew was great and really did try to get people going and excited.

イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>

With a pod of dolphins. イルカの群れと一緒に

Reviewed by: sht

In the sea with the best transparency, I was able to encounter a pod of nearly 150 dolphins. The dolphins didn't just swim past us quickly; they circled around us multiple times.

They swam so close that I could clearly see their eyes, rather than just appearing small in the distance. On the contrary, I was filled with surprise and emotion, wondering if it was really okay for them to come so close.

The staff also provided strict instructions for safety, but at the same time, they kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, allowing us to have a truly enjoyable time.

最高の透明度の海の中で
150頭近いイルカの群れに出会うことが出来ました。イルカの群れはさっと目の前を通り過ぎるのではなく、私たちのそばを何度も回遊してくれました。

ずっと遠くのほうに小さく見えるのではなく、はっきりと、イルカの瞳を確認できるほど、近くを泳いでくれました。
反対に、こんなに近づいてしまっていいのだろうかと思うほどで、驚きと感動でいっぱいになりました。

スタッフの方も、安全のために
厳しい言葉でしっかりと指示を出してくださいました。一方で船の上ではとても盛り上げてくださり、本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

Aloha! sht,

Thank you for participating in our tour this time. Meeting 150 dolphins is truly a rare experience, and perhaps your desire to meet the dolphins was conveyed, leading you to join us. ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

We are delighted that you were able to create wonderful memories that are hard to come by in Japan.

We also have tours where you can swim with manta rays on the Big Island, so our staff is looking forward to your next participation. Mahalo!

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

I was able to see a sea turtle. ウミガメ、見れました。

Reviewed by: motos622

We participated as a family of four. I overlooked the note in the instructions that said to wear swimsuits, so changing was quite a hassle (my own fault). Since there was a Japanese guide and many Japanese participants, the children were able to snorkel with peace of mind. The sea was beautiful, with high transparency, and we could see very well. It was also a lot of fun to see sea turtles up close.

家族4人で参加しました。説明に水着を着て参加するように書いているのを見落としていて。着替えが大変でした(自業自得です)。日本語ガイドだし日本人の参加者が多く子供たちも安心してシュノーケリングできました。海がきれいで透明度が高くよく見えました。またウミガメが間近で見れてとても楽しかったです。

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

manta rays up close and personal!

Reviewed by: Troutman

This was the most amazing trip ever! The canoe was perfect for my family as we all get motion sickness and everyone was fine but mom. It was a quick trip out and you are in the water immediately snorkeling with the manta rays. We had two that just kept coming straight towards our faces (one even brushed dad). It was the most amazing experience and our guides, Kat and Rob made the whole experience so pleasant. We highly recommend this trip!!!!

It was fun! 楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: アリー

In addition to fish, I was able to see sunken ships and airplanes on the seabed, which made me feel like I was exploring the ocean floor, and it was a lot of fun. I also encountered sea turtles and sharks. It's a shame I didn't get to see any whales! Unlike going into the sea, there's no need to change clothes, so it's easy to participate.

魚以外にも、海底に沈んだ船や飛行機を見ることができ、海底を探検してるような気分でとても楽しかったです。ウミガメやサメにも遭遇することができました。クジラには出会えず残念!海に入るのと違い、着替えたりしなくていいので気軽に参加できていいですね。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Lets you get up close with the fishes and turtles

Reviewed by: Cliff

Some were apprehensive about diving under the helmet to get into it but after that it's amazing as you get to see fishes and even turtles up close. You also get a fish food sponge to lure scads of fishes to you - just be careful to keep your fingers out of the way, or you may get a nibble! The safety divers guide your scooter and show you where to go (and some take video for sale later). The only possible discomfort may be if you don't equalize the pressure as you dive or ascend - this can be done several ways (such as swallowing or yawning - I couldn't get the "pinch nose and blow" method to work). Otherwise it's a blast. You also get to hang around a bit - on the boat or swimming or snorkeling - while the other groups are on the scooters.
