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＞

It was fun! 楽しかった！

Reviewed by: miku

Even though it was just a short three-night trip, spending half a day on this tour was a wonderful choice. I was able to see beautiful fish in the stunning sea and even encountered turtles twice... I still feel moved just thinking about it.

We were a group of three women around sixty, joined by two younger women, making a total of five members. At first, I had a bit of anxiety, but the expert held my hand and was always right beside me, so once I got the hang of the breathing rhythm, my worries faded away.

Snorkeling was "fun, moving, and exciting." Even if you're not confident in swimming, you'll be fine with the expert. I want everyone I know to experience this!

たった３泊の短かい旅行なのに、このツアーに半日をかけたのは、すばらしい選択だったと思ってます。
美しい海で、きれいな魚たちをたくさん見られ、亀にも２度遭遇できた・・・思い出してもまた感動できます。
私たちはアラ還暦の女性３人で、若い２人の女性が加わり５人のメンバーでした。
はじめは少しの不安がありましたが、達人が手をつないで、いつでもすぐそばにいてくれるので、呼吸のリズムがなんとなくつかめると不安はほとんどありませんでした。
「楽しい、感動、興奮」のシュノーケリング。水泳に自信がなくても達人と一緒なら大丈夫。私の知り合いみんなに体験してもらいたいと思ってしまいました。

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＞

It became a good memory. 良い思い出になりました

Reviewed by: まきこ

I wanted to meet the fish when I went to Hawaii, so I was looking for a tour. Since it was just my son, who is 10 years old and has never swum in the ocean, and me, a complete beginner, I thought we wouldn't be able to adventure without a guide. Although it was a bit pricey, I decided on this tour! I also read everyone's experiences and thought it sounded great.

If I remember correctly, the language option was only in English, but our guide, Alan, was very good at Japanese as he studied it in college and had lived in Nagoya.

After being picked up at the hotel, we adjusted our fin sizes at the shop and loaded our gear before heading to Hanauma Bay. It was a cold, cloudy day with strong winds. I thought there would be no place to put valuables, so I didn't bring any (I only had 10 dollars!). Alan had a locked box, but I felt embarrassed because I had nothing to put in it...

It was really cold, and my son was just shivering. Since we were the only participants, Alan and I held my son's hands and started swimming. We were able to see various fish, as if we were swimming in an aquarium, and we even encountered turtles! It was so moving!

I don't think I could have had this experience alone due to my fear. Alan was a gentle guide, and we made wonderful memories. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

　ハワイに行ったらお魚さん達に会いたいなあと思い、ツアーを探していました。ほぼ初心者の私と海では泳いだことのない10歳の息子と二人だったのでガイドさんがいないと冒険できないなと思い、少々高めでしたがこのツアーに決定！
皆さんの体験談も読んでいいなと思いました。
　記憶では言語の欄が、英語のみだったような気がしたのですが、ガイドのアランさんは大学で日本語を学び、名古屋にも住んでいたことがあるという日本語が上手な方でした。
　ホテルでのピックアップが済むとお店でフィンのサイズをあわせ機材を積み込みハナウマ湾へ出発。
　この日は風が強く曇っていて寒い日でした。置くところがないと思って貴重品は持っていかなかったのですが（10ドルしかもっていきませんでした！）アランさんが鍵つきのボックスを持っていましたが、何も入れるものがなくてはずかしいような・・・・
　本当に寒い日で息子は寒くて震えているだけ・・参加したのが私達だけなのもあり、アランさんと私で息子の手を引いて泳ぎ始めると水族館の中を泳いでいるように色々なお魚、それから亀さんにも本当に会えました！感激です！
　自分ひとりでは恐怖心もありこんな体験はできなかったと思います。またガイドのアランさん、ジェントルな方でした。素敵な思い出ができました。また機会があったら参加させていただきたいと思います。

I want to visit Hanauma Bay again and again!! 何度でも訪れたい、ハナウマ湾！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated alone on April 13, 2009. I joined the morning course, and there were a total of five people in the group, including myself and a Canadian family of four (parents and two elementary school-aged sons). Our guide, Alan, was very proficient in Japanese and explained how to use the snorkeling equipment in a mix of Japanese and English.

As for the sea, while we could see large fish in the shallow areas, the visibility wasn't very high. Especially on this day, the waves were quite high, and even as someone with diving experience, I felt a bit nervous when swimming out. The two Canadian sons had one being guided by Alan and the other by their father, and it looked quite challenging for them. While it's hard to generalize since it depends on the weather, I recommend that those who are considering signing up and are new to snorkeling or not confident in their physical strength keep in mind that such situations can occasionally occur.

That said, the high satisfaction with the tour came from the beauty of the location at Hanauma Bay and the attentiveness of the guide! Before entering, we watched a 10-minute film, which was informative about environmental protection and safety in the ocean at Hanauma Bay.

If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate in this tour!

2009/4/13に女性ひとりで参加しました。
朝のコースに参加しましたが、私の他にカナダ人ファミリー4人（両親・小学生の息子さん2人）の計5人のグループでした。ガイドのアランさんは日本語がとても上手で、シュノーケリング道具の使い方などは日本語と英語を交え説明してくれました。

肝心な海は…というと、浅瀬に大きな魚が見られるものの、透明度はあまり高くなかったです。特にこの日は波が高く、沖に向かって泳ぐ場面ではダイビング経験者の私でも少し緊張しました（カナダ人の2人の息子さんは、ひとりはアランさんが、もうひとりはお父さんが手を引きながら一緒に泳いでいましたが…かなり大変そうでした＾＾;）
天候によるものなので一概には言えませんが、これから申し込まれる方でシュノーケリングが初めての方や体力に自信がない方は、稀にそういうケースもあることを頭の隅にいれておくことをオススメします。

とはいえ、ツアーの満足度が高かったのは、ハナウマ湾のロケーションの美しさとガイドさんの気配り！また入場前に10分ほどの映画を見るのですが、ハナウマ湾の環境保護と海の安全に対する意識の高さも勉強になり良かったです。

もしまたハワイに行く機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいと思えるツアーでした！

All-Inclusive Kailua Beach Day Experience - Lunch, Snorkel, Bike & Gear Rental

Needs improvement for families

Reviewed by: Darlene

The beach was beautiful. Very good for boogie boarding but snorkeling was not happening unless you took a thirty minute walk to get there with all of your equipment. To get to the beach was a five minute walk which was not bad but there was no transportation offered to the family to get to the snorkeling part of the beach. Really this outing was over priced. Carrying four boogie boards, towels, and snorkeling gear with kids is not fun. So we did not to get to go snorkeling here. There should have been a small shuttle offered to get to certain areas of the beach. Who wants to be carrying this equipment back and forth to the beach. The meals offered was good but again we had to wait till just before leaving to eat because the food services are back at the rental facility. All they need to offer is a shuttle and I would not hesitate returning.

Alan's escort service was excellent. After picking us up at the hotel, he helped us find the perfect fins at his nearby office, and then we headed to Hanauma Bay. Our family of three, including our 8-year-old daughter, joined a group of five with an American couple.

Upon arriving at Hanauma Bay, Alan collected and paid for everyone's entrance fees, and while we watched a movie, he waited with a large safety box. After the movie, we boarded the tram to the bay without any wait. He lent each of us a mat, explained how to use the snorkeling gear, and we went into the sea together.

He provided careful guidance in the shallow areas to get us started. He took my 8-year-old daughter's hand and swam with her, and we even encountered a turtle along the way. Alan guided us to places we wouldn't have been able to go without his escort, and I was very impressed with his friendly and attentive service. My daughter says she loves Alan!

This was by far the best part of our vacation! We chose to do the small group tour because my husband can't swim and has never been in the ocean. Not to worry, our guide, Alan, was fabulous!!! He was very patient and helpful. Not only did he help us with the technical part of snorkeling, but he brought us to some areas of Hanauma Bay that most don't see. We were lucky enough to swim with four sea turtles! We would certainly go back!

On the way back to the shore, there was a spot where the waves were strong, and it took more than 10 minutes to return. I definitely think beginners need a guide.

I wanted to see turtles. 亀を見たかった

Reviewed by: 金太郎

In July 2008, I participated with my wife. Our companions were an American couple. The instructor was a Japanese named Kiko. Since there were many participants, we were asked to help out. We met up with others at the entrance of the Education Theater (where we watched a 7-minute video on environmental protection and ocean safety before heading to the beach). After that, we took a tram to the beach.

At the beach, a complete set of snorkeling gear, including marine boots, was prepared in each person's size, and our belongings were stored in a large locked container. It was truly attentive service.

The seawater temperature varied significantly by location, and many areas felt quite cold. Due to the tides, we didn't see many fish, and the visibility was not great. The visibility in the shallows was decent, but it became murky (with fine bubbles) as we went further out. Since it was the day after our arrival in Hawaii, the timing in the afternoon was fine for our stamina, but considering the tide conditions that day, I thought the visibility might have been better in the morning.

We didn't see any turtles, and the disappointment added to our fatigue. We retired a bit early and returned to the beach feeling exhausted. After getting back to the beach, I received a bottle of mineral water and was offered cookies, but I had little energy to eat. I searched for something that looked hydrating and managed to eat just one.

By the time I took a shower, I felt somewhat revived. Around this time, my satisfied wife returned. It was a day that made me acutely aware of my lack of exercise.

2008/07に妻と二人で参加しました。
連れはアメリカ人二人（夫婦）。
インストラクターは日本人のｋｉｋｏさんでした。
参加人員が多いので応援を頼まれたとのことでした。
エドケーションシアター（ビーチに出る前に環境保護と海の安全に関する７分間のビデオを観る）の入り口で他の人たちと合流。
その後、トラムに乗って浜まで移動。
浜には、マリンブーツ込みでシュノーケルのセットが各人のサイズで一式用意してあり、手荷物は、カギの掛かる大きなコンテナに保管してくれました。
まさに至れり尽くせり。

海水温は、場所によりかなりのむらが有り。冷たいと感じる場所が多かった。
汐の関係か、魚はびっくりするほどは見られないし、透明度も今ひとつ。浅瀬の透明度はまずまずでしたが沖に出ると濁り（細かな気泡）が気になりました。
ハワイ到着の翌日のため、体力的には午後でよかったのだが、この日の潮回りから言ったら透明度はやはり午前中がよかったのかなと思う。
亀も見られず、期待が大きかっただけに疲労も増大。
少し早めにリタイアしグテグテ状態で浜にあがった。
浜にあがってミネラルウォータをもらい、クッキーを進められたがほとんど食べる元気なし。水分の多そうなのを捜してひとつだけ食べた。
シャワーを浴びた頃には、幾分元気が復活。このころに満足しきった妻が戻ってきた。
日頃の運動不足を痛感した一日でした。

Our guide, Alan, provided kind and attentive instruction in fluent Japanese, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling with our family without any worries. Since this was a guided tour, we were able to go quite far out, and we even encountered four sea turtles and saw rays up close. I believe it would have been impossible for us to do this on our own, so even though the price was a bit high, I think it was definitely worth it. This was my first time booking an optional tour online, but there were no issues at all, and my family loved it. Alan himself provided transportation in a van, and he brought a large locked box to the beach for our clothes, towels, and valuables, so we could store them safely. After coming out of the water, there was a shower next to the restroom, and we could change inside the restroom. They also provided mineral water and snacks, which was very thoughtful. The snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was incredibly fun!

ガイドのアランさんが上手な日本語で親切・丁寧に指導、案内してくれましたので、安心して家族でシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。ガイド付のこのツアーだったので、かなり沖まで行けましたし、ウミガメに４匹も会えたり、エイも間近で見ることができました。自分たちだけでは無理だったと思いますので、多少金額は高いですが、十分価値あるものだと思います。ネットでオプショナルツアーを申し込むのは初めてでしたが、まったく問題なく、家族には大好評でした。アランさん自身がバンで送迎してくれ、着替え、タオル、貴重品はアランさんが鍵付の大きなボックスを海岸まで運んできてくれましたので、その中に保管してくれます。また海から上がったあとは、トイレ横にシャワーがあり、着替えはトイレの中で出来ます。またミネラルウオーターとスナック菓子も用意してくれており、至れり尽くせりです。ハナウマ湾シュノーケルは最高に楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: tana

Since I'm going to Hawaii, I wanted to go snorkeling! Since it was my first time snorkeling, I thought it would be best to have a guide, so my family of three joined this tour, even though the price was a bit high.

My first choice was in the morning, but since I signed up at the last minute, we ended up going in the afternoon. First, we were picked up right in front of our hotel by our instructor, Alan. We headed to Hanauma Bay with another group of six.

When we arrived at the entrance of Hanauma Bay, we met up with a newlywed American couple, and Alan collected the entrance fee of $5 for those over 12 years old and paid it all at once. While we watched a nine-minute movie, he prepared everything in front of the trolley that goes down the slope, allowing us to smoothly access the sandy beach.

Since there were a lot of people this time, Alan assigned the newlyweds to one instructor, while Kiko and Aki, both Japanese instructors, took care of us Japanese participants.

They provided all the necessary equipment, including life jackets, mats, and a place to store valuables (you could also put in clothes and towels), and they even had water and some snacks ready.

The others were very skilled (sorry for being a bother), and I, who had no confidence in swimming, honestly thought during practice, "Should I just wait on the beach?" But Kiko encouraged me, saying, "Come on, put your head in the water!!" and patiently taught me how to use the fins, even holding my hand to help me see a lot of fish! I'm glad I didn't give up!!

"Everyone, come here~"
They showed us the viewpoint, and we were able to see sea turtles.

It lasted about an hour, which was enough time for me, as I tend to get cold easily. When Aki told me how far we swam from above the trolley station, I was surprised to find it was quite far. Alan said, "Everyone did well today. That's why we could go far." (Of course, he said this in Japanese.)

I actually considered a tour from a major travel company that was about the same price, but they mentioned that the instructors wouldn't manage valuables or guide us. To go far and to be shown viewpoints, having a guide is definitely better.

One regret I have is that I didn't bring my camera to prevent theft. I heard that in summer, the water tends to get murky, making it hard to take good underwater photos, but I wanted to take a commemorative photo with the beautiful bay in the background. Since there was a place to store valuables, I should have brought it.

せっかくハワイに行くのだから，シュノーケリングがしたい！初めてのシュノーケリングなので，お値段は高めですがガイドが必要だろうと親子３人でこのツアーに参加しました。

第１希望は朝だったのですが，ぎりぎりに申し込んだので午後からの回でした。
まずは，ホテルの前でインストラクターのAlanさん直々にピックアップ。もう一組の６名と一緒にハナウマ湾へ。

ハナウマ湾の入り口に着くとアメリカ人の新婚さんとも合流して１２歳以上の入場料＄５をAlanさんが集めて，まとめて払ってくれました。我々が約９分間の映画を見ている間に坂を下りるトロリーの前で準備してくれていて，スムーズに砂浜へ。

今回は人数が多かったので，Alanさんは新婚さんに，我々を含む日本人には，日本人のインストラクターのキコさんとアキさんがついてくれました。

ライフジャケットを含め用具＆ゴザ＆貴重品入れ（着替え，タオルなども入れるのも可）もしっかり用意されていて，水とちょっとしたお菓子も用意されていました。

他の方達はとても上手で（ご迷惑かけてすみません），泳ぎに全然自信がない私は，うまく息継ぎができなくて練習の時に「浜で待っていようか」と正直思いましたが，キコさんに「ほらっ頭つけて！！」と叱咤されてがんばり，うまくフィンが使えない私に根気よく教えてくれたり，手を引いてくれたりして魚をたくさん見ることができました！あきらめなくてよかった！！

「みんなここへおいで~」
とビューポイントを教えてくれて，ウミガメも見ることができました。

約１時間でしたが，冷え性の私には十分な時間。トロリーの発着場の上からアキさんにどこまで泳いだか教えてもらったら，かなり遠くまででびっくり。Alanさんは，「今日はみんなうまかったネ。だから遠くへ行けたよ。（もちろん日本語で）」と言ってくれました。

実際に某大手旅行会社の同じぐらいの値段のツアーも検討しましたが，インストラクターは貴重品の管理もガイドもしてくれないとのこと。遠くまで行ったり，ビューポイントを教えてもらうには，絶対ガイド付きがいいです。

Encounter with a big fish. ビッグフィッシュに遭遇

Reviewed by: miki

I participated with my child in late August 2008. It was clear that they were considerate in their conversations during the car ride.

We met up with two more participants along the way, making a total of four of us heading to Hanauma Bay. After watching a video about Hanauma Bay, we took a trolley down. At the beach, we received equipment instructions, put on life jackets, and stepped into the slightly cold water. We practiced in shallower areas after a preliminary lecture. I already felt a bit out of place at this point. I held onto someone’s hand as we headed out.

There they were! Fish were swimming around normally, including some large ones over 50 centimeters long.

Unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any turtles, but it was clear they were trying hard to find them. With the underwater camera I brought, they actively took pictures of us and the fish.

You can manage valuables and changes of clothes in a large locked case. They even let me put in the slippers I wore. Mats and equipment are all available for rent. We received water and snacks at the end.

You can change clothes easily afterward, so I think it’s a good idea to bring some.

As a note, my underwater goggles didn’t seem to fit well, and water kept getting in, making me accidentally drink saltwater, which was quite uncomfortable. While all equipment is available for rent, it might be better to bring your own if you have something that fits perfectly.

We swam quite far out for about an hour. The water was pretty cold, and I was shivering afterward. A bath towel and a long-sleeved cover-up are essential.

For those who really want to see turtles, a tour to the North Shore might be better. We encountered turtles on the beach two days later on a different tour.

That said, for beginners, this tour offers hands-on guidance from start to finish, so I think it would be fun to go with friends.

　2008年8月下旬に親子で参加しました。
　車内で会話にも気を使ってくださっているのがよくわかりました。

　途中で2名と合流し、計4名の参加者でハナウマ湾へ。
　ハナウマ湾のビデオを見て、トローリーで下ります。
　浜で用具の説明を受け、救命胴衣を装着し、ちょっぴり冷たい水の中へ。
　さらに浅いところで、事前のレクチャーと予行演習。
　ここですでに落ちこぼれ感のあった私。
　手を握ってもらって、沖へ向かいます。

　いたいた！
　ふつーに魚たちが泳いでいます。体長が50センチ以上ある大きなものもいます。
　
　残念ながらカメには遭遇できませんでしたが、一生懸命探してくださっているのはわかりました。私が持っていった水中カメラで、私達や魚を積極的に写してもらえました。

　貴重品や着替えの管理などは、大きな鍵付きのケースでお願いできます。履いて行ったスリッパまで入れてもらいました。
　ゴザや用具類は一切レンタル。
　水とスナック菓子を最後にもらいました。

　終わってからの簡単な着替えは可能ですから、洋服を持っていくとよいと思います。

　注意点として、私の水中メガネがどうも合わなかったようで、水がよく入って塩水を飲んでしまったりして、途中とっても苦しくなりました。　
　用具は全て貸してはもらえますが、自分にぴったりのがあれば、それを持って行ったほうがいいのかもしれません。

　かなり沖へ向かい、一時間ほど泳ぎます。
　水もかなり冷たいので、あがってからは震えが出るほどでした。
　バスタオルや長そでの羽織るものは必須です。

　「どうしてもカメを見たい」という人は、ノースショアに行くのツアーのほうがいいかもしれません。
　私たちは二日後に、別のツアーで、砂浜に上がっているカメに出会うことができました。

　とはいえ、初心者の人は、手取り足取り教えてもらえるし、最初から最後まで安心して過ごせるツアーなので、友達同士で行くと、楽しいと思いますよ。

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＞

It was really great. すごく良かったです。

Reviewed by: atsuko

We participated with three adults and one child. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I was very moved to see fish swimming within reach. Our child, who is four years old, was scared and didn't want to go into the water because he couldn't breathe well underwater, but our guide, Alan, carried him on his back, so we felt safe even when we went out to the open water. My mother also enjoyed her first snorkeling experience while holding onto Alan. The transportation from the hotel to Hanauma Bay was helpful, and once we arrived, the thorough explanations of the equipment by the guide made us feel secure and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

大人３人、子供１人で参加しました。
亀は残念ながら見れませんでしたが、魚が手の届く範囲に泳いでるのを見れてとても感動しました。
子供は４歳で海の中で呼吸がうまくできず怖がって海に入りたがりませんでしたが、ガイドのアランさんが背中に乗せてくれたので、沖まで出ても安心でした。
母も、アランさんにつかまりながら初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しめました。
ホテルからハナウマ湾への送迎も助かり、現地に着いてからも器具の説明など丁寧なガイドで始終安心して楽しめました。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス　嬉しい5時間滞在！ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き＜日本語スタッフ／ランチ付＞

I was moved by the beauty of the ocean. 海の美しさに感動

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I always enjoyed playing at Waikiki Beach, but we decided to try Kailua, which is said to be "the number one beach in the U.S." We went with low expectations. However, as soon as we arrived, I was captivated by the blue of the ocean and was absolutely thrilled. I had heard that it could be windy, but when we went in December, there was hardly any wind and the sea was calm. I even thought, "I want to live here forever." We all decided that we would definitely come to Kailua every year.

いつもワイキキのビーチで満足して遊んでいましたが、「全米ナンバー１のビーチ」というカイルアにいてみようという話になり、あまりに期待しないでいきました。しかし、着いたとたん、その海の青さのとりこになり、もう大感激。風が強いと聞いていましたが、12月にいったのですが、風はほとんどなく穏やかな海でした。「もうずっとここに住みたい」とまで思いました。毎年絶対にカイルアに来ようと家族全員で決めました。

Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

Untitled

Reviewed by: Cindi Johnston

This is a very beautiful spot, lovely beach. I have been snorkling many times before including the Great Barrier Reef but have never done a guided tour. It was great to have a guide because he took us to places we would never have gone without him and saw much more. He new where all the hiding spots were. We saw so much more than if we had been just on our own. and what a great swim we had. Then snacks were provided after the tour. Well done! Cindi Johnston Whitby, On Canada

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 children were overjoyed! 子供たちが大喜び！

Reviewed by: saya

We participated as a family. I had heard about the beauty of Hanauma Bay from friends, but it was beyond my imagination! Our guide, Alan, was very kind and escorted us, allowing us to see various fish, which made the kids very happy. Large fish swam right in front of us, and although I couldn't identify the names, schools of fish swam by, making even the adults excited! I was hoping to swim with turtles, but I learned that they appear during high tide, and since we participated in the AM (low tide) tour, we couldn't see any. I definitely recommend joining the PM (high tide) tour for those who want to swim with turtles! However, the AM tour has fewer people, allowing for a more relaxed experience to enjoy the beautiful sea and fish, so I recommend it for those who want to take it easy.

ファミリーで参加しました。ハナウマ湾の美しさは友人から聞いていましたが、想像以上でした！ガイドのアランさんが優しくエスコートしてくださり、色々な魚を見ることができましたので、子供たちが大喜びでした。目の前に大きな魚が泳いできたり、名前は分かりませんが魚の群れが横切ったり、大人でもワクワクできましたよ！亀と泳ぐことを期待していましたが、亀は“満ち潮”時に現れるそうで、AM（引き潮）のツアーに参加していたため見ることができませんでした。亀と泳ぎたい人は絶対PM（満ち潮）に参加することをお勧めします！でも、AMは、人も少なくゆったりとハナウマ湾を楽しめますので、のんびりときれいな海と魚を楽しみたい方にはお勧めします。

It was our family's first experience as a group of four. The staff member was really great at leading us, and our family was very satisfied. We considered a course without an instructor, but I thought it would be tough for beginners without guidance from someone experienced. Thank you very much to the instructor!

家族４人で初めての体験でした。スタッフのお姉さんが、本当にほど良くリードしてくれましたので、家族で大満足です。　インストラクター無しのコースも検討したのですが、初心者には、経験者のリード無しでは、厳しいと思いました。　インストラクターのお姉さん、どうもありがとうございました！

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Alan was prompt and greeted us with a friendly smile and manner. He was thorough in his explanations and made sure we understood his message. Kiko (sp) was great with her bubbly personality and her delivery of sea creatures to the girls. The sea life was incredible and the girls had a grat time. We all commented on the quality of equipment as well which was top notch. Go, try them out. I would recomment it.
