This is my second time, following last year. It was a bit cold last year, so I was hoping this year would be better... but it was even colder. I chose a different tour this year, and the staff's response was good. Last year, my mother suddenly decided not to go at the last minute, so this year I let her participate without saying anything. On January 3rd, it was winter in Hawaii as well, but everyone was swimming while saying it was cold. We got to see sea turtles and manta rays, and we enjoyed beach volleyball at a beautiful sandbar. The tour company from last year took photos of each group and posted them online, but this time we only took photos ourselves, so I wished they had taken pictures of each group.
昨年に続き2度目です。昨年はちょっと寒かったので今年こそは・・・もっと寒かった・・・。昨年と違うツアーにしましたが、スタッフの対応も良く、去年母が突然間際になって行かないと言いだしたので今年は黙って参加させました。1月3日はハワイも冬でしたが、寒い寒いと言いながら皆さん泳いでいました。ウミガメとマンタも見れて、きれいなサンドバーではビーチバレーを楽しんでいました。昨年のツアー会社は1組ずつ写真を撮ってくれてWEB上に載せてくれましたが、こちらは写真を各自で撮るだけでしたので、1組ずつ撮ってくれたらと思いました。

We participated as a couple in our mid-50s. Unfortunately, it was windy and rainy, but we made it to the Twin Islands via Flat Island.
Since it was a self-guided plan, I initially struggled with how to paddle, but once I got the hang of it, I managed to move forward.
Even in the reef, the wind was strong, creating waves, and especially when leaving the Twin Islands, I had to time my paddling with the waves to avoid getting tossed around, which was a bit challenging.
The distance to the Twin Islands is about 3 km one way, but we were able to make the round trip in about two and a half hours, which surprised the staff.
However, it was quite cold due to the rain and wind, so we couldn't relax much even after landing on the island. We also couldn't go snorkeling.
It was quite tough, but it was a valuable experience that you can't easily have while in Japan. Reaching the Twin Islands gives you a sense of accomplishment.
Canoeing wasn't difficult even for an amateur like me at my age. Plus, wearing a life jacket made it safe.
What I regret is not being able to relax and snorkel in the beautiful sea or explore the Twin Islands. I would like to try again when the weather is better.
(The photo is from when we landed on the Twin Islands.)
50代半ばの夫婦で参加しました
あいにくの風と雨でしたが
フラット島経由で双子の島まで行ってきました。
ガイド無しプランだったため
最初はどのように漕いだらよいか悩みましたが、なれれば何とか前へ進むものです。
リーフの中でも風が強いと波があり、特に双子の島からの離岸は波の引くタイミングを見計らって漕ぎ出さないと波にもまれる可能性がありちょっと大変でした。
双子の島までは片道3kmほど有りますが2時間半ほどで往復できスタッフの方もビックリされていました。
でも、本当は雨と風でじっとしていると寒くて島に上陸してもユックリしていられなかったのです。
シュノーケリングも出来ませんでした。
結構大変でしたが、日本にいるとなかなか出来ない貴重な体験が出来ました。
双子の島まで行くと達成感がありますよ。
私のような年齢の素人でもカヌーは難しくありませんでした。
また救命胴衣を付けているので危険もありません。
心残りはきれいな海でユックリとシュノーケリングと双子の島の散策が出来なかったこと。
天候が良い時期になら再チャレンジしてみたいです。

We participated as a family. We were able to see many sea turtles, and during snorkeling, we got to see a variety of colorful tropical fish up close. Everyone in the family is satisfied. The only disappointment was that the weather was cloudy, and we didn't have the sandbar with a blue sky as the backdrop. Yukiko and the staff were very attentive and made it a lot of fun, creating precious memories for our family. Thank you very much.
家族で参加しました。ウミガメもたくさん見ることができ、またシュノーケリングでは色とりどりの熱帯魚も間近にたくさん見ることができました。家族全員満足しています。天気が曇っていて、青空バックのサンドバーではなかったことが唯一残念でした。ユキコさんはじめ、スタッフのみなさんの対応も丁寧でとても楽しく、家族の大切な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。

It was a slightly cloudy day, but the waves were calm, and there was absolutely no worry about seasickness—it was the best day! The sea was, as expected, very beautiful and clear. Although it was said that the sea was dark due to the clouds, we could still see the sea turtles clearly, and the photos turned out great!
Due to the tides, the sandbar had quite a bit of water, up to about waist-deep. Moreover, the seawater was cold! However, with the bright and energetic instructor's enthusiastic invitation, everyone squealed with excitement as we headed into the water. I was mistaken in thinking it would only be ankle-deep. Please be cautious about that. We were able to arrive at the hotel before noon, which was convenient time-wise. I highly recommend it!
少し曇りの日でしたが、波はおだやかで船酔いの心配は全くなしで、最高の日でした。
海はさすが、とても綺麗で透き通っていました。ウミガメも曇りで海が暗いとは言われましたが、ちゃんと見えて写真もバッチリ!
潮の関係もありサンドバーは結構水深があり腰くらいまででした。しかも、海水は冷たい!!でも、明るく元気のよいインストラクターの強引な?誘いでみんなキャーキャー言いながら海へ。足首くらいと思っていたのは間違いでした。その点はご注意を。昼前にはホテルに到着でき、時間的にも適当でよかったです。オススメです。

Transporting the sea kayak to the ocean might be a bit challenging... It feels tough with just two girls. It might be better to go with guys.
Once you're out on the sea, it's incredibly refreshing, and landing on a deserted island for a walk is fun. The beauty of the ocean is exceptional!!
When I can properly ride the sea kayak, I felt like I could drift on the waves for hours ❤️
As for whether I would do it again... Thinking back to the time we transported the sea kayaks... I might hesitate a little. It was that tough (laughs). Definitely something to consider if two girls are signing up together!!!!
シーカヤックを海まで運ぶことが大変かも・・・
女子二人だとキツい感じです。男子とご一緒が良いかも。
海に出ると、めっちゃ気持ち良いし、無人島に上陸してのお散歩も楽しい。
海のきれいさも格別!!
ちゃんとシーカヤックに乗れると何時間でも波間に漂っていたい気分でした❤
リピートするかと言うと・・・
やっぱり最初のシーカヤックを運んだ時を想い出すと・・・ちょっとためらうかも。
そのくらいしんどかったです(苦笑)
絶対に女子二人での申し込みは要検討です!!!!!

The heavenly sea that I had wanted to visit!
I made a reservation after checking the time of low tide.
So, I was able to go when the seawater had completely receded!
However, it was disappointing that it was windy, cloudy, and cold.
Even though I think there's nothing I can do about that, I still had fun discovering sea turtles.
一度行ってみたかった天国の海!

It would have been perfect if there was a plan that included relaxing on the beach, as walking on a beautiful beach was not part of the plan.
The most impressive part was when they sang Christmas songs live on the boat with a guitar. This was an unexpected service.
Additionally, the staff provided perfect service, so I think Japanese guests would be very satisfied.
My partner didn't swim because it was too cold, so having a self-service hot drink option during the cruise would have been better for those who were cold. Also, it would be nice if they could lend out knee blankets or half blankets.
In short, it was just cold, but I'm glad the cruise didn't get canceled due to bad weather.
The commentary was provided in Japanese by Japanese staff, so I recommend it for Japanese guests.
I regret not requesting the Christmas song "O Come" during the guitar performance; they were really good at singing.
キレイなビーチで歩くというプランでなかったので、ビーチのんびりも入ったプランがあれば完璧。
一番印象にのこったのは、クリスマスソングをギターで生で船の上で歌ってくれたこと。これは想定外のサービスでした。
あとはスタッフはすべて完璧なサービスでしたので、日本人には満足度が高いかと。
相棒が寒すぎて泳がなかったので、クルーズ中はホットドリンクのセルフサービスがあれば寒い人にはもっとよかったかな。
あと、ひざ掛けブランケットやハーフ毛布みたいなものが貸し出し可能であれば、うれしい。
要は、寒かっただけのことですが、悪天候中止にならなくてよかったです。
解説も日本人が日本語でしてくれるために、日本人にはオススメです。
ギター演奏でO~comeのクリスマスソングリクエストすればよかったのが唯一の心残りでしょうか?歌上手かった。

It's a popular tour. You arrive at the port, which is about an hour away by bus from Waikiki. Everyone was Japanese... especially the older ladies, who were quite noisy and sat in other people's seats without asking, and used beach towels without permission, which was the worst.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, so we couldn't see the beautiful ocean. The sandbar was shallow, about knee-deep, and there were no fish swimming around. While you can indeed see sea turtles, it's only from the boat.
At the snorkeling point, there are fish, but not many. It felt like there were few beautiful fish as well...
Overall, it was neither good nor bad, but considering the cost, it was a bit disappointing.
人気のツアーです。ワイキキからバスで一時間くらいで出港する港に到着します。全員が日本人でした・・・特におばさん達が五月蝿くて勝ってに人の席などに座ったり、バスタオルをかってに使ったり最悪でした。
それにあいにくの曇り空でキレイな海は見られませんでした。サンドバーは膝下くらいの浅瀬で何の魚も泳いでいません。確かにウミガメに会えますが船の上から眺めるだけです。
シュノーケリングポイントには、魚はいますが少ないですね。キレイな魚も少ない気がしました・・・
全体的にみると可も不可もありませんが、コストの割にはいまいちでした。

Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with this tour. Even though they said we would see sea turtles, we only saw a turtle briefly poke its head out from the boat, so we couldn't take any photos. The cruise was just a short trip around the bay. The meals were simple. The staff also left an impression of being rough around the edges. I thought $60 was too expensive for this experience.
残念ながら今回のツアーは満足できませんでした。
ウミガメに会えると言っても、船の上からちょこっと顔を出した亀をみるだけなので、写真にもとれず。
クルーズと言っても、湾の周りをちょろっとまわる程度。
食事も簡素。

I participated with my mother and sister. Since it was their first time in Hawaii, I thought my sister would want to go snorkeling and my mother would enjoy the beautiful scenery, so we joined this tour. We were picked up at the Ambassador Hotel and transferred to a large bus at the Sheraton Hotel to set off! The bus was freezing cold, and my sister, who was wearing short sleeves, was feeling chilly. We arrived at the port on time. The waves were calm, and thankfully, there was no seasickness, thanks to the fun staff, and we quickly reached the turtle watching point! We saw sea turtles, but just for a moment! Their heads popped up briefly. We saw a few, but I think it would be difficult to take pictures. My mother, who expected to see the turtles up close, was a bit disappointed. Next, we went to the sandbar! We had 40 minutes there. First, we took photos! It felt very free, as everyone could do their own thing. The staff took pictures, so couples and groups could get photos together. I thought about wearing clothes, but since the water was up to my waist, I went in my swimsuit. Standing in the middle of the ocean was truly magical! Next was snorkeling. We swam along a rope to avoid disturbing the current. I think beginners should wear life jackets. They only explained how to breathe, and there was no actual practice. My sister, feeling confident since it was her second time, struggled to breathe and almost drowned, which made my mother and me burst out laughing! Snorkeling was really enjoyable, and we saw lots of small fish. I had so much fun that I wanted to do it more. On the way back, we filled our stomachs with sandwiches and warm tea, laughed at Yukiko's stories, and arrived at the port. On the bus, I fell into a deep sleep, probably from waking up early and swimming. It was a great tour that ended on time in the morning, allowing us to use our time meaningfully. However, there were really a lot of newlywed couples! If you want to snorkel a lot, a full-day tour might be better. The bus driver on the way back was a native speaker with excellent pronunciation and was somehow very high-energy! We laughed again! On the return bus, we had to raise our hands to indicate where to get off. I think the Sheraton will stop properly, but we almost missed the Ambassador stop because of the excellent pronunciation! Since we got back on the bus wet, I recommend bringing a long-sleeve cover-up and a bath towel. This tour was well-organized, and we had a meaningful time; it was truly enjoyable. It became a wonderful memory.
母と姉と3人で参加しました。母と姉は初のハワイだったのでシュノーケルがしたい姉、母には綺麗な景色を見てもらいたいと思いこちらに参加しました。アンバサダーホテルでピックアップしてもらい、シェラトンホテルで大型バスに乗り換えて出発!バスは冷房ガンガンで半袖の姉は寒がってました(^^;時間通りに港に到着。波も穏やかで心配していた船酔いもなく、楽しいスタッフのおかげであっという間にタートルウォチングポイントへ!!ウミガメは見れたけど…一瞬!顔がピョコっと出る程度。何匹かみれたけど写真に撮るのは難しいと思います(-_-;)ウミガメがガッツリ見れると思っていた母はちょっと残念がってました(^-^;次にサンドバーへ!!滞在時間は40分。まず写真撮影~♪おのおので自由にという感じです。スタッフが撮ってくれるのでカップルやグループでもみんなで写った写真が撮れます。洋服を着ていこうと思いましたが、水が腰ぐらいまであったので水着で行きました。海のど真ん中に立てるっていうのはとにかく神秘的!次にシュノーケル。海流を乱さないためにロープに沿って泳ぎます。初めての方は救命着を着た方がいいと思います。呼吸の仕方などは説明のみで実際に練習はなしです。姉は「二度目だから~♪」と調子に乗って上手く呼吸ができず溺れかけていました。これに母と私は爆笑!シュノーケルは本当に気持ちよくて、小さな魚がいっぱい見れました。楽しかったのでもっとしたかったです。帰りの船でサンドウィッチと暖かい紅茶でお腹を満たし、ユキコさんの話で爆笑し、港に到着。バスでは早起き&泳いだ疲れか爆睡でした。時間通り午前中のうちに終わるツアーで時間を有意義に使えるツアーで本当に良かったです。ただ、ほんっっとに新婚カップルばっかりでした(^_^;)シュノーケルをたくさんしたい方は1日ツアーの方がいいかもしれません。帰りのバスの運転手はまぢのネイティブで発音がめっちゃ良い英語&なぜかハイテンション!これにまた爆笑!帰りのバスは降りる所が挙手制で、シェラトンはちゃんと停まると思いますが、アンバサダーは危うく乗り過ごすところでした。なにせ発音がめっちゃ良いので(笑)帰りは濡れたままバスに乗るので、長袖の羽織りとバスタオルは持参した方がいいと思います。こちらのツアーは段取りもよく有意義な時間を過ごせ、本当に楽しかったです。いい思い出になりました。ワイ

Sandbar is a place I always wanted to visit. I was aware that the height of the water varies depending on the season and time. When I actually went, the water was about knee to waist deep. Even so, it was incredibly beautiful and felt great.
The staff were kind, and I had a lot of fun. The burgers were delicious too.
Playing beach volleyball while being submerged up to my waist was quite tough, but I was able to enjoy playing with other guests I met for the first time.
Also, if you're going during this season (winter), it can get cold when the wind blows over the water, so it's definitely a good idea to bring clothes to wear over your swimsuit and a large beach towel.
サンドバーは、一度は行ってみたかった場所。
時期や時間によって、海面の高さが違うのは承知の上。
実際に行った時は、膝上から腰ぐらいの深さだった。
それでも、実に美しくって、気持ちよかった。
スタッフの皆さんは、親切で、とっても楽しめました。
バーガーも美味しかったなぁ。
腰ぐらいまで浸かってのビーチバレーはさすがにキツかったけど、初対面の他のお客さんとも、楽しく遊べました。
あと、この時期(冬)に行くのなら、海上で風が吹くと寒いので、水着の上から着る服や、大きめのビーチ・タオルは必ず、持って行った方が良いですよ。

I had made various plans, and I received a notification the day before my arrival in Japan that the course had changed. Since I had already set my plans before departing, to find out that the desired course would change just one day before (with only two days left) is frustrating! The reason given was that there would be a motorcycle race. Surely, they must have known about this well in advance! Are they really deciding on the motorcycle race just a day before?!
I had hoped to follow a course that included filming locations from Jurassic Park, but it got canceled. This is terrible! They should have known about this at the time of booking. They just took my reservation and then informed me the day before that the course was unavailable... it's awful! I'm really disappointed!
I think it's important to double-check these things, as situations like this can happen!
いろいろ予定を決め、日本で予約到着後前日にコースが変わると連絡をいただきました。予定を決めてから出発していたため、しかも前日(残り2日)希望のコースが変わるなんて!理由はバイクレースがある為、とのこと。前日よりも前にわかっていることでしょう!!!!!!明日バイクレースやる?って決めることでしょうか?!
ジェラシックパークの撮影場所をめぐるコース希望だったので、キャンセルになりましたけど、
ひどいです!予約の時点でわかっていそうなものなのに、予約取るだけとって、前日にそのコースは出来ませんって・・・ひどいです!

This time, I traveled to Hawaii with three friends for the first time in ten years. The average age of our group was 55, making it a trip for older gentlemen. Last time, we spent two days golfing and driving around the island. This time, I wanted to try something different besides golf. When I went to Hawaii with my family this summer, I saw a buggy tour on the Hawaii Channel, which piqued my interest, so I joined a two-hour course.
It was raining at the 8 AM meeting time, so we changed to the afternoon, but the weather in Hawaii is unpredictable. The sun quickly peeked out, so we participated in the morning as originally planned. We were the only Japanese participants, along with a couple from Ohio. We received instructions via video and then set off.
The staff accompanying us spoke only a little Japanese, but they made a great effort to entertain us. Along the way, they treated us to passion fruit that was growing on a tree, and in the end, they understood our driving skills, allowing us to enjoy a motocross-like experience. Everyone felt it was better than expected. The Jurassic world is also worth a visit!

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first experience at the sandbar. The knee-deep water in the middle of the ocean was very mysterious, and the contrast between the sand and the sea was beautiful. When we went, it was not the season for the sand to be exposed, but I would like to visit again during low tide. I thought the staff was friendly and their service was good, but I wish they would refrain from smoking at the sandbar. Even though there are no legal restrictions, I wonder why anyone would smoke in such a beautiful natural place. There were even comments encouraging smoking among participants, and I saw people walking around the sandbar with cigarettes in their mouths. It was uncomfortable on the water.

Due to my schedule, I couldn't participate for long and joined the morning session. I only caught a glimpse of the sea turtles from the boat, but I was impressed by the beauty of the sandbar! When getting off the boat, the water was up to my stomach, and in the shallow areas, it was up to my knees. I'm so glad I bought a waterproof camera!
The weather was a bit gloomy during the cruise, with some light rain, but we were able to see a rainbow, and by the time we arrived, it was sunny! It must be even more sparkling and beautiful on a clear day.
Since I was at the back during snorkeling, the visibility was poor, but I really wanted to go to the sandbar, so I was happy about that. The early finish allowed me to spend the afternoon meaningfully. The warm tea and sandwiches served on the way back were delicious!
I hope I can take my time a bit more next time.

天気も、クルーズ中はどんよりとしてパラパラ振ったりしましたが虹も見れたし到着するころには晴れたし☆快晴だともっときらきらして綺麗なんでしょうね。
シュノーケルは後ろの方だったので濁ってあまり見れませんでしたが、サンドバーは絶対行きたいとこだったのでよかったです。早めに終わるので午後からも有意義に過ごせました。
帰りに出された温かいお茶とサンドイッチもおいしかったです☆
次はもう少しゆっくりできるといいなぁ。

We went on a morning tour as a couple. We took three large buses to the port. I think almost everyone was Japanese.
Upon arriving at the port, we split into three groups and took a boat to our destination. I believe we were on the boat for about 20 to 30 minutes. Along the way, we had a brief sea turtle watching experience, but we could only catch a glimpse.
Once we arrived at the sandbar, we started with photo sessions. In deeper areas, the water was about waist-deep, while in shallower areas, it was around knee-deep. We asked a Japanese female guide named Yukiko to take various photos for us. It seemed like other participants were taking photos among themselves. However, if you ask the guide, she will give you pose instructions and take several shots, so I think it's better to ask her! Just be aware that there might be a wait, so it's best to stay close to the guide once you get into the water! (laughs)
After that, we went snorkeling. Life jackets were available for those who wanted them, but I didn't wear one. We went surprisingly deep, and it felt like it was about 5 to 10 meters deep. We followed the guide while making a rough line, stopping occasionally. We swam in areas where our feet couldn't touch the bottom. They also provided long floatation devices, but if you can't swim well, it's better to wear a life jacket! My husband regretted not wearing one since he isn't a strong swimmer. The floatation device is meant for two people, but in reality, it sinks when two people use it (laughs).
Swimming near the guide at the front allows for a surprisingly long snorkeling experience, which can be tiring, but we got to see coral up close and even spotted some fish, making it a very valuable experience. If you're at the back of the line, it might be murky due to the people ahead swimming, so I recommend being towards the front. My husband and I led the way and thoroughly enjoyed it♪
Afterward, warm tea and sandwiches were distributed, which was very helpful since we were a bit hungry♪
午前のツアーに夫婦で行ってきました。
大型バス3台で港へ。
ほぼ全員日本人だったように思います。
港に着いて3つグループに別れて船で目的の場所まで行きました。
時間は20~30分くらい乗っていたように思います。
途中に海ガメウォッチングだったのですが、ほんとーにチラッと見える程度でした。
サンドバーに着いて、まずは写真撮影。
深いところでは腰くらい、浅いところは膝くらいでした。
ガイドさんで日本人女性のユキコさんにお願いして、色々撮って頂きました。
他の方は、参加者同士で撮り合っていたようです。
ですが、ガイドさんに頼むとポーズの指示をしてくれ、
数枚撮ってくれ、とても上手なので頼んだ方がいいと思います!
ただ順番待ちが発生するので、なるべく海入ったらガイドさんの近くにいた方がいいですよ!!(笑)
そのあとはシュノーケリング。
救命胴衣は希望の方だけ着る流れで、私は着なかったです。
案外深いところまで行くのですが、たぶん5m~10mくらいあったように感じます。
途中止まったりしながら、ざっくりとした列を作りながらガイドさんについていく感じです。
終始足が着かないところを泳ぎます。
水に浮く細長いやつも貸してくれるのですが、泳げない方は救命胴衣を着た方がいいです!
夫がそんなに泳げないのに着なくて後悔してました。
細長いやつは2人で1つ、実際は2人で使うと沈みます(笑)
ガイドさん近く、先頭で泳ぐと案外長くシュノーケリングするので疲れますが、
サンゴを近くで見れ、魚も少し見れて、とても貴重な体験が出来ました。
列の後方にいると先に行った人が泳いだせいか濁って見にくいので、先頭を行くくらいがお勧めです。
私たち夫婦は先頭切って泳いで、堪能しました♪
終わった後は温かいお茶とサンドイッチが配られ、小腹が空いていたのでとても助かりました♪

I participated with four friends. The presence of lockers was a great help. The beach had strong winds, and the rental mat was almost blown away, so it was very convenient to be able to store valuables and anything else not absolutely necessary in the lockers.
For lunch, after some deliberation, I chose the chicken BBQ plate. It was teriyaki chicken style, came with macaroni salad, and the portion was just right and very delicious.
The beach is truly amazing!! While enjoying bodyboarding in the sea, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me!! It was just for a moment, but I was really happy to encounter a sea turtle and had a wonderful time. I want to come back again.
友達4人で参加させてもらいました。
ロッカーがありかなり助かりました。ビーチは風が強くレンタルしたゴザも飛んでいく勢いでした、なので貴重品を含め最低限必要な物以外はロッカーへ入れておけるので大変便利でした。
昼食は迷ったあげくチキンBBQプレートにしました。
てりやきチキン風で、マカロニサラダ付きで量も丁度良くとても
美味しかったです。
ビーチは本当に最高です!!そして、海でボディーボードを
楽しんでると目の前に海ガメが!!一瞬ですが海ガメとも遭遇出来て本当に幸せな時間を過ごせました。また来たいです。

The view from the sandbar was very beautiful. I was told to practice snorkeling there, but not many people were doing it. We had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball with the participants. Although not everyone joined, about 15 people were playing. The lunch afterward was delicious, with freshly grilled meat. I wasn't a fan of the sweet bean stew.
I went snorkeling a little further from the sandbar, but there weren't many fish, so I got out quickly. It seemed like we had quite a bit of time (around an hour), and someone said, "Are we getting out already? There's still 30 minutes left." Then, I was splashed with water from a bucket over my head, which seemed to be a substitute for a shower.
I thought the Japanese staff member could have used a bit more polite language, as they were speaking casually to everyone.
サンドバーでの景色はとてもきれいでした。
そこでシュノーケルの練習をするといわれましたが、
あまりみなさんやってなかったです。
ビーチバレーは参加者の方たちとみんなで楽しくやりました。
全員参加ではなかったですが15人ぐらいはやっていました。
そのあとのランチはお肉が焼きたてでおいしかったです。
豆の煮つけみたいなのは甘くて苦手でした。
サンドバーから少し行ったところのシュノーケルをしましたが、魚があまりいなかったのですぐにあがりました。
結構長い時間(1時間ぐらい~)時間があったらしく「もうあがるの~あと30分もあるのに。」と言われました。
そして頭からバケツで水をかけられました。それがシャワーのかわりみたいです。
日本人の係員の方はちょっとだけ「丁寧な言葉を使ったほうがいいかなと思いました。(全員にタメ口だったので…)

It was awesome!!! So relaxing and the views were breathe taking. I would recommend this activity for everyone and it is definitely something I would come back to do again. I do wish I ran into a Jurissaic Park sign it wouldve made for a great picture. Also, it would've been cool if the trail leader took at least one picture of each person on their horses for memory purposes. I found it hard to take a picture and ride the horse at the same time. But other than that the experiece was great!!!
