3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Highlight of our Oahu Vacation!

Reviewed by: cathy

We booked this tour after reading about it on a web site. We asked our kids do you want to go to amusemant park setting and touch dolphins, OR swim with them in the ocean, and the results was unanimous The wild ones in the ocean! They picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat, they were very friendly and punctual. The staff on the boat were beyond awesome. They were fun and explained everything and paid special attention to our 9 year old who was a little scared to go out in the big ocean. Pete sense her fear, and took control and jumped in the water with her and she had the best seat in the house on his back swimming with dolphins! He even brough her up a sea urchin to delight her while she was eating lunch! We had pretty rough water but the captain on the boat did a great job, very obvious he knew exactly what to do in in rough ocean. They bbq'd burgers for lunch with purple colored hamburger buns wheich totally delighted our daughter! They entertained us afterward

I was able to see a lot of dolphins! Dolphinいっぱい見れました!

Reviewed by: makko

The tour guide was a wonderful Japanese lady who was very kind.

It was a lucky day; I was able to swim with dolphins (although they were a bit far away), see whales, and swim very close to turtles.

On the way back, I was thrilled to see a larger dolphin that rarely appears!

The lunch burger was really delicious, and those who wanted to could also enjoy kayaking, making for a very fun experience.

The local guides and hula dance instructors were also very warm and wonderful people, creating great memories.

There were couples, solo travelers, and groups of two girls, among others.

The boat swayed a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication!

I highly recommend this tour!!

ツアーのガイドさんも日本人の素敵なお姉さんで、とても親切でよかった。

その日はラッキーデーで、イルカとも泳げたし(ちょっと遠かったけど)クジラも見れて、カメともとても近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました。

帰りがけにたまにしか現れない大きめのイルカも見ることができて感動!!

途中のランチのハンバーガーがとってもおいしかったり、カヤックも希望者は乗せてもらえてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。

現地のガイドサンやフラダンスの先生たちもとても温かく素敵な人で、いい思い出ができました。

カップル、一人旅、女の子二人組みいろいろな方がいました。

船は少し揺れるので酔い止め飲んでおいたほうがBETTER!

おススメのツアーです!!

A Fun Day

Reviewed by: Canuck

Thank you for a fun day. The ocean condition was a little less than ideal today, but I saw plenty of dolphines, whales, and even a turtle. It was amazing.
The staff members were very kind, entertaining, and plain fun people. I had a faburous day.

This is my second time on a dolphin tour (the first time was with another company). I was able to see many dolphins, and it was fun to get up close to the sea turtles. The staff on the boat also entertained us in various ways.

It was a bit disappointing that the female staff didn't provide enough information about whether we could change clothes in addition to just borrowing wetsuits or using the restroom.

イルカツアーは2回目です。(1回目は他社)
イルカもたくさん見れたし、海亀とも超接近できたのが

Wild dolphins♪ 野生のイルカ♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I wish I could have swum a little closer to the dolphins, but I was moved to see wild dolphins for the first time. I also saw sea turtles, and the hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious.

At the end of the tour, we were taught hula dancing. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic at first, but surprisingly, it was fun to dance! I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time for the hula lesson.

I wish there had been time to change before heading back, but overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

Thank you very much.

イルカともう少し近くで泳げたらよかったな・・と思いましたが、初めて野生のイルカをみれて感動しました。
ウミガメも見れたし、あと船上で食べたハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

ツアーの最後にフラダンスを教えてもらうのですが、
正直、初めはあまり乗り気じゃありませんでしたが、
踊ってみると意外にも楽しい!!
もう少しフラレッスン時間があってもよかったと思う位でした。

帰りの着替える時間があればよかったかな?と思いますが、全体的にとても満足のいくツアーでした。

One hundred dolphins! イルカが100頭!

Reviewed by:

We participated for the first time as a couple. Since we had an early morning meeting, I was nervous about whether we could wake up, but we received a courteous morning call and were able to join without being late. On the way, it was raining, but it cleared up perfectly at the destination, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow.

Furthermore, shortly after the boat departed, a group of about 100 dolphins greeted us, and we were able to see many of them both from the boat and underwater. The staff were very considerate, ensuring that pregnant participants like me and those with children didn't overexert themselves, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. We quickly bonded with the cheerful and friendly staff.

After snorkeling, they kept us entertained by drawing cute flowers and dolphins on our arms with pens and even danced the hula. Both my partner and I are vegetarians, and they accommodated us by preparing the hamburgers in a vegetarian style, making it a truly satisfying tour.

I highly recommend this for beginners, families, and solo travelers alike!

夫婦で初参加しました。
朝早い集合だったので起きられるかドキドキしましたが、丁寧なモーニングコールをいただいて遅刻せずに参加できました。
この日は行きのバスでは雨が降っていましたが現地ではばっちり晴れてくれて、虹まで観えてラッキーでした。
さらに船が出発してからすぐ100頭程のイルカの群れが出迎えてくれて、船の上からも水中からもたくさん観る事が出来ました。
妊婦の私やお子さん連れの参加者へも無理しないようにと細やかな気遣いをしっかりしてくださり、とても安心して楽しむ事ができました。陽気でフレンドリーなスタッフさん達とすぐに打ち解ける事ができました。
シュノーケリングが終わってからも飽きさせないように、腕にペンでカワイイお花やイルカを書いてくれたり、フラを踊ってくれたり楽しませてくれました。
夫婦とも菜食なのですが、ハンバーガーをベジタリアン仕様にして下さるなど本当に大満足なツアーとなりました。
初心者・家族・ひとり、どんな方にもとてもオススメです!

I was glad to see wild dolphins. I was also surprised by how beautiful the ocean was. My child didn't like snorkeling because it was uncomfortable, but when we used regular pool goggles without fins, they were able to swim happily.

野生のイルカが見れて良かったです。海がきれいなのもビックリ。子供はシュノーケリングが息苦しいと嫌がったが、普段のプールのゴーグルで足ひれも無しにしたら元気に泳げました。

It was fun!! 楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: dolphin love

Recently, I participated with three friends. Perhaps because the waves were a bit high, the dolphins didn't swim close to us at first. After several attempts, we were finally able to swim with the dolphins on the last try. It seems they were cautious because they had a baby dolphin with them.

After that, we went to the snorkeling point, but there weren't many unusual fish that day, and the high waves made it feel like we might get seasick just floating in the water, so everyone decided to head back early.

One of my friends completely got seasick. They had prepared hamburgers for us, but while they were getting ready, the boat stopped, and it rocked a lot due to the waves. We all ended up not being able to enjoy the hamburgers and took them back to the hotel instead. The special taro bread hamburger was very delicious, but the seasickness was really tough, so I think it would be more enjoyable if the boat could keep moving during lunch.

The hula lesson afterward was pleasant and fun. I would love to repeat this experience if I have the chance again.

先日、友人と4人で参加させていただきました。
ちょっと波が高かったせいか、イルカは最初全然そばを泳いでくれなく、
何回か飛び込んだあと、最後の1回でイルカと共に泳ぐことができました。
どうやら赤ちゃんイルカを連れていて警戒心が強かったそうです。

その後、シュノーケリングポイントにも行ったのですが、この日はあまり珍しい魚がいなかったのと、やはり波が高くて水に浮いてるだけで酔いそうだったのでみんな早々に引き上げた感じでした。

友人のうちの1人は完全に船酔いでダウン。
ハンバーガーを用意してくれていたのですが、その食事の準備の最中から船が停泊してしまったので、思い切り波に船が揺れてしまい、私達は全員ハンバーガーどころではなく、結局持ち帰ってホテルでいただきました。
特製タロイモパンのハンバーガーということでとてもおいしかったのですが、ちょっとあの船酔いはホントにきついので
出来れば、船は停泊せずに進みながらお昼にしてもらえればもう少し楽しめるかなって思います。

その後のフラレッスンも気持ちよくて楽しかったです。
また機会があったらリピートしてみたいです。

It's close to the dolphins. イルカと近いです

Reviewed by: karibu

First of all, this tour has a high quality. Usually, expensive tours aimed at Japanese people always have a Japanese guide, but this tour does not. However, there is an excellent local guide who understands the Japanese spirit and provides detailed guidance, so it's perfectly fine even if you don't understand English at all. I felt that this tour was thoroughly researched for Japanese participants.

Of course, regarding the important rendezvous with the dolphins, this was the closest encounter I've had on any tour so far, and it really felt like we were swimming together. I highly recommend this tour for those looking to meet dolphins. I was also impressed by the service that sends a group photo if you register your email (of course, for free).

 まず、このツアーはクオリティーが高いです。
通常は、日本人向けの値段の高いツアーには必ず、日本人ガイドがいるのですが、このツアーにはいません。
しかし、日本人の心を理解した優秀な現地ガイドさんがいまして、きめこまやかなガイドをしてくれるので、英語がチンプンカンプンでも全然オーケーです。
かなり、日本人向けに研究されているツアーと感じました。
 もちろん、肝心のイルカとランデブーですが、今までのツアーの中で一番の最接近で、本当に一緒に泳いでいる感じがしました。
イルカと逢いたいツアーをお探しの方は、おすすめです。
Eメールを登録すると、集合写真を送ってくれる(もちろん、無料)サービスも、感心しました。

You can really swim with wild dolphins. 本当に野生のイルカと泳げます

Reviewed by: 雷太

I had signed up for a different tour last time, but we ended up chasing dolphins in the bay, with phrases like, "Hey, chase them! They're over there! Look, over there!" and ultimately, we couldn't see them underwater. I thought to myself, "It's wild after all," when I saw the photos of people swimming with dolphins, thinking this was a rare case. However, to my surprise, I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming underwater from above and the side, just like in the photos. I believe this was largely thanks to the instructors. They carefully guided us by saying, "Come over here! Look ahead, look down!" to show us where the dolphins were.

On the boat, the captain, who somewhat resembled Gary Sinise (which reminded me of Forrest Gump), along with the staff, performed hula and played the ukulele! Even when they were distributing the hamburgers for lunch, they always created a cheerful atmosphere that made the guests feel a sense of unity. The staff, especially one who resembled the cheerful enka singer Jero, helped create a relaxed feeling.

The only downside was that there was a family with a child around three years old, and at first, the child was crying loudly, which scared the dolphins away. I hope participants consider the age of their children when joining.

前回別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカがいる湾内で、”ほれ、追いかけろ!あそこにいるぞ!ほれ!あっちだ”みたいな感じで、ひたすらイルカを追いかけて、結局水中では見られませんでした。やはり野生だからね~~と、こちらの一緒にイルカと泳ぐ写真をみたときも、こういうのはまれなケースだよと思っていましたが、なんと、写真と同じ、群れをなして泳ぐイルカを水中で上から、横から見ることができました。それはインストラクターのスタッフのお陰によるところが大きいと思います。”こっちきて!前見て、下見て”とイルカがどこにいるか、丁寧に誘導してくれます。また、船上では、どことなくケーリー・シニーズに似た船長(なので、フォレストガンプを思い出しました)とスタッフによるフラや、ウクレレ演奏!そして昼食のハンバーガーを配るときもいつも陽気にお客さんに一体感を感じさせる演出をしてくれます。親切で陽気な演歌歌手ジェロ似のスタッフを始め、リラックスした気持ちにさせてくれます。
ただ残念だったのは、3歳くらいの子供を連れた親子がいたのですが、最初子供が泣き叫び、その声でイルカが逃げて行ってしまいました。参加する人も子供の年齢を考えてほしいものです。

The entire experience was very nice. It's great! A good trip for anyone. We could have just stayed put and enjoyed the ride, but I did get in the water. They helped me relax and enjoy it. The crew was very helpful. We only had 8 people making it more personal. I have no idea how many they usually have. There is plenty of room to walk around and do your own thing.

We took the tour that left at 7am. This tour was great! We saw plenty of dolphins, and even had the opportunity to get into the water with them. The ways that the dolphins interacted with each other was an amazing thing to witness. Learning how to hula was an interesting experience.

I made a reservation on-site and participated with a friend.

At first, I thought it would only be Japanese people, but there were also various people from Europe and America, which made me really excited. The inside of the boat was clean, and the restroom was nice too.

As we set off, the captain immediately started explaining in English, and I thought, "I don't understand this at all (#^.^#)," but then, to my surprise, Jin-kun appeared, speaking Japanese fluently (and he was handsome too)! He asked, "Are there any Japanese people here?" It was so cute and hilarious!!

Thanks to that, I was sure I could enjoy myself without worry!

The sea was incredibly beautiful, with different shades of blue depending on the location, and the breeze felt nice. I didn't want to go back, even though we had just started.

Before long, we spotted dolphins, and they kept coming one after another!!! In the end, there was a huge group of over 20 dolphins swimming right next to the boat, and they were so cute, I was extremely satisfied☆

After that, during snorkeling, I swam with sea turtles and fish, feeling like I had become a fish myself. It was quite cold after snorkeling, but there were four showers with warm water, so I was able to warm up.

And finally, it was time for lunch☆ While preparing lunch, Jin-kun jokingly asked about the chicken, "Is this your first time eating dolphin?" which surprised me and made me laugh a lot☆

The lunch was delicious, and I ended up eating a lot (*^_^*).

When my friend felt a bit seasick, Jin-kun noticed and asked, "Are you okay?" He was very considerate and gave various advice, which was really helpful. He's a thoughtful guy.

In the end, I took a photo with Jin-kun and reluctantly headed back (__).

As you can see, I really became quite fond of Jin-kun on this tour!!!!!!!

It was an absolutely wonderful tour that I definitely want to go on again☆☆☆

現地で予約して友達と2人で参加しました。

初めは日本人だけかと思いきや、欧米の方達も色々いて、
すごくワクワクしました。
船の中は清潔でトイレもきれいでした。

出発すると、すぐにキャプテンが英語で説明してくれて、わかんないやこりゃ(#^.^#)と思っていたら、なんと!!!

「え~、日本人の方いますか~?」

そのおかげで、安心して楽しめると確信!!

沖のほうは海がすっごく綺麗で、青色が場所によって違って、風も気持ち良いし、帰りたくない!!と出発したばかりなのに、思ってしまうほど。


そうこうしてるうちに、イルカが見えてきて、しかも次々に!!!
しまいには、20匹以上かと言うくらいの大群が船のすぐ傍をずっと泳いでいて、かなり可愛くて、大満足☆


その後、シュノーケリングでは海がめや魚達と一緒に泳いで、自分も魚になったような気分でいました。
シュノーケリングの後はかなり寒かったのですが、ちゃんと温かいお湯の出るシャワーが4つもあり、温まる事ができました。


そして、いよいよlunch☆
lunchの準備中、またまたジン君がチキンの事を
「イルカ食べるの初めてです?」

めちゃびっくりして、大笑いしました☆

lunchがまたおいしくて、いっぱい食べちゃいました(*^_^*)

友達が少し船酔いしていると、ジン君が気づいて、
「大丈夫ですか?」
と、気遣ってくれて、色々アドバイスくれたので、助かりました。気が利く子です。


最後にジン君と写真撮影して、泣く泣く帰りました(__)

Reviewed by: 関野

The dolphin tour had several options, and I was unsure which to choose, but I picked this one and it was the best decision. The boat was a large catamaran, spacious, clean, fast, and felt safe. We first went to the dolphin point and after seeing the dolphins, we headed to see whales. We spotted a spout in the distance and approached it quickly because the boat was fast, allowing us to get close in no time. After chasing and watching the whales for a while, we returned to the dolphin point for snorkeling. The equipment was clean, and the staff took great care of my 4-year-old grandson. There was a staff member named Tamiko who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. She taught the Japanese guests with great care. At the snorkeling point, by chance, while my grandson and I were playing near the boat, a large sea turtle surfaced right beneath us, coming up very close. I was so surprised that I took off my snorkel and shouted, "It's a turtle!" This stroke of luck was shared by the two of us and two foreign guests nearby. The others were away from the boat and missed this fortunate encounter. After that, we had lunch, which was luxurious and surprisingly impressive for a meal on a boat. The drinks included unlimited beer and Hawaiian cocktails, and we could eat wherever we liked on the boat. During that time, the boat cruised even further than the whale sighting point, making for a very satisfying watching cruise. My wife was also very satisfied, and I think we will definitely become repeat customers. I highly recommend it. There are other tours nearby, but they can't compare in terms of luxury.

イルカツアーはアランさんのなかでもいくつかあり、迷いましたが、このツアーにして最高でした。船も大きな双胴船で、広くてきれいで速くて安心でした。最初にイルカポイントへ行きイルカを見た後今度はクジラをミニみにいきました。遠くに潮を吹いているのを見つけて近づくのですが船が速いのですぐに近くまで行けました。そこでしばらくクジラを追いかけてウォッチングをした後またイルカポイントへ戻りそこでシュノーケリングです。道具もきれいで4歳の孫にはスタッフの方がいろいろと世話をしてくださいました。日本語の出来るタミ子さんという方がおられたので安心でした。日本人には彼女が丁寧に教えてくれました。シュノーケルポイントではたまたまですが私と4歳の孫が船の近くで遊んでいたら真下から大きなウミガメが浮上したきて、すぐそばに浮き上がり、あまりの驚きにシュノーケルを外して『カメだー』と叫んでしまいました。この幸運は私たち二人と近くにいた外人さん二人の4にんでした。たの人たちは船から離れていてこの幸運に遭遇できませんでした。その後はランチでしたがこれが豪華で船の上の食事とはおもえないくらいの感動ランチでした。飲み物もビールはもちろん、ハワイアンカクテルも飲み放題で船の上で好き勝手な場所で食事でした。その間また船はクジラを見たポイントよりもまだ先までクルーズしてくれて大満足のウォッチングクルーズでした。
家内も大満足で多分リピーターになると思います。
絶対オススメ。近くに他のツアーも来ていますが豪華さでは比較になりませんよ。

I participated in the Christmas season last month. Since it was winter, the sea was a bit rough, but it was such an amazing tour that I didn't mind at all. We saw a lot of dolphins, and they were really close! I was also surprised to see a whale for the first time! The staff were incredibly kind, which warmed my heart. The taro burger for lunch was delicious—I want to eat it again! The hula instructor was also very entertaining, making it a tour that any Hawaii lover would enjoy, allowing you to truly experience Hawaii. I've participated in other dolphin tours, but I think Dolphin and You is by far the best. Honestly, the quality of the staff and the content is unmatched compared to other dolphin tours. If you're looking for a satisfying tour, I absolutely recommend it!!!

先月クリスマスシーズンに参加しました。
冬ということで海はちょっと荒れ気味?だったけど、そんなこと気にならないくらい、超最高のツアーでした。イルカもたくさん見れたし、本当近かったです。クジラも初めて見てビックリしました!スタッフの皆さんもすごく親切で、心があったかくなりました♪ランチのタロイモのハンバーガー美味しかった~!また食べたいです。フラの先生もとっても面白くてハワイ好きにはたまらない、ハワイをしっかり体感できるツアーです。

早起きした甲斐がありました!とても素晴らしい体験ができました。
お祈りをして花を海の投げ入れてから出発!すぐにイルカが現れてくれました。
シュノーケルの時も手の届きそうな距離を泳いでいましたし、いるかの赤ちゃんまで見る事ができました。船上で作る手作りハンバーガーも最高でした。船上ではロコボーイの珍しい男性フラを拝見することが出来ました。最初から最後まで大満足させてくれるツアーでした。また是非参加したいです。

It was moving! 感動!

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself since I can't swim. I wondered if I would be able to see dolphins properly from the boat.
However! I was able to encounter dolphins clearly from the boat, and even a pod of them!
I was so moved and healed by seeing dolphins for the first time.
Although I couldn't dive into the water, I had a fulfilling time seeing dolphins up close, kayaking, enjoying hamburgers made by the captain on board, and watching the crew dance the hula and play the ukulele. It was a tour that allowed even non-swimmers to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea.
All the staff were very cheerful and friendly! I was able to create the best memories in Hawaii. Thank you!

私は泳ぐことができなく、楽しめるのかな?船の上からでもちゃんとイルカが見れるのかな?と心配でした。
しかし!船の上からでもきちんとイルカに出会う事ができました。しかもイルカの群れ!
初めて見るイルカにとっても感動し、癒されました。
海中に潜ることはできませんでしたが、間近でイルカの群れを見れたり、カヤックにのったり、キャプテンが船上でハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、クルーの人達がフラを踊ったり、ウクレレを弾いてくれたりととても充実した時間を送ることができました。泳げない人でも十分にハワイの海を楽しめるツアーでした。
スタッフの人皆とても明るくてフレンドリー!ハワイでの最高の思い出を作ることができました。ありがとうございます。

I was moved by the pod of dolphins! イルカの群れに感動!

Reviewed by: Hiroe

I had my first encounter with wild dolphins!

While enjoying the peaceful scenery, I headed to Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu! After about five minutes out on the boat in the clear, beautiful sea, we got ready to swim. While changing into a wetsuit (top half) and life jacket with careful instructions, a pod of dolphins appeared!

A group of dolphins was gracefully swimming slowly near the boat! There were about 20 to 30 of them in total. Some dolphins even jumped energetically! Upon closer inspection, I saw baby dolphins jumping too!!!

It seems I was lucky this time, as the pod performed near the boat for over 30 minutes. Those who swam closer could even hear the dolphins' calls♪

After that, we went snorkeling at a place called "Dragon Palace," which is full of sea turtles! A sea turtle came right next to the boat, so I was really glad to see it up close.

The BBQ on the boat after getting tired from all the excitement and the hula performed by the local staff was also great.

Thank you for this precious experience!

初めて野生のイルカに会ってきました!

のどかな風景を眺めつつ、オアフ島西部ワイアナエ・ハーバーへ!透き通っててきれいな海をボートで沖へ5分ほど行ったところで、泳ぐ準備をしました。丁寧な説明を受けながら、ウェットスーツ(上半身)とライフジャケットに着替えていたら、イルカの群れが!

ボートの近くをイルカの群れが優雅にゆ~っくりと泳いでいるんです!合計で20~30頭くらいかな?中には勢いよくジャンプを披露してくれるイルカも!よーく見たら、赤ちゃんイルカも一緒にジャンプ!!!

今回はラッキーだったみたいで、イルカの群れがボート近くで30分以上パフォーマンスを披露してくれてました。近くまで泳いでいった人は、イルカの鳴き声とかも聞こえたんだとか♪

その後、竜宮城と呼ばれるウミガメが沢山いるところでシュノーケリング!ボートすぐ横にウミガメがでてきてくれたので、すごく近くで見れてよかったです。

はしゃぎ疲れた後の船上BBQでの腹ごしらえやロコスタッフによるフラもよかったです。

貴重な体験を有難うございます!

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Love the staff

But hated wearing the "bright yellow floaties". At first, when these were pulled out, I was saying..."oh crap, you've got to be kidding!" But then when we hit the water, I realized it's not such big deal to look like a dork, we all do. The water was amazing until I got hit in the nose by a fellow dork. My snorkling was done at that point. I was greeted by the friendly on board crew and a warm shower. The entire trip was completely worth it. The two above neg's were not a big deal. The crew, the sites, the water, the food, drinks and friendly banter of fellow passengers was great. I highly recommend this cruise. Thank you.

Snorkeling 4-13-09

We had a beautiful day for our snorkeling trip, we could not have asked for more beautiful weather. The crew was friendly and the boat was really nice and modern. We saw some dolphins out in the distance although they barely came above the surface and we saw a few turtles. There were no whale sightings on our cruise. The snorkeling was a little disappointing because the water was really choppy and we were dealing with an extremely strong current. There really wasnt a lot to see underwater. It was a little scary for the first time snorkelers and a few people got sea sick. We had a really large group (over 30 people) which made it difficult to move around the boat and it also made it difficult to move around out in the water without getting hit in the face by another persons fins. I think this cruise would have been a lot more enjoyable had there been 20 people or less on the boat.

In mid-February, I participated alone. I quickly became friendly with two other solo participants and had a great time. The staff were also enjoyable and helped create a lively atmosphere. Next time, I want to learn from a very charming female photographer and participate in a way that allows me to dive deeper and longer.

2月中旬、一人で参加しました。
すぐに、一人参加の二名の方々とうちとけ、
楽しく過ごせました。
スタッフの方々も、楽しく、盛り上げてくれました。
次回は、とってもチャーミングな女性カメラマンを見習い、もっと深く、長く、潜れるようになって参加したいです。
