All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

When I came to Hawaii, I wanted to go horseback riding in nature, so I took a local bus for 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch. First, I enjoyed a delicious burger that was highly recommended, and then I got on a big horse and started riding. There were six of us participating, but only one female instructor was assigned... Is this normal?? I was a bit anxious, wondering if she could handle everything alone if something happened, while I was riding.

Since I was a beginner, I took the one-hour course, but we just rode along a path surrounded by trees and that was it... Wait, where was the location of Jurassic Park?? Was there a two-hour course to go there?? I felt somewhat unsatisfied, but the female instructor spoke Japanese, I was able to ride safely, and the burger was delicious, so I had a decent time, giving it three stars.

However, I'm not sure if it was worth the three-hour round trip... It might be recommended for those who are just stopping by with a rental car.

ハワイに来たら大自然の中で乗馬をしたかったので、ワイキキからローカルバスに１時間３０分乗ってクアロア牧場へ。
まずはおいしいと評判のバーガーをガッツリいただいてから、大きなお馬さんにまたがりカポカポ。
６名で参加しましたが、インストラクターの女性1人しかつかず・・・
こんなもんですか？？
何かあったとき1人で対応できるのかな？？と不安に思いつつカポカポ。
初心者だったので1時間コースでしたが、木が生い茂ったあぜ道をひたすらカポカポして終わり・・・
あれ？？ジェラシックパークの場所は？？
そこに行くには2時間コースだったのでしょうか？？
なんだか不完全燃焼でしたが、インストラクターの女性は日本語話してくれてたし、無事乗馬もできたし、バーガー美味しかったし、それなりに楽しかったので★3つです。

ただ、往復３時間かけて来る場所だったかは微妙・・・
レンタカーでちょっと寄ってみるか、という人にはお勧めかもしれませんが。

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I enjoyed it more than I thought. There were more sea turtles than I expected, and I was lucky enough to encounter a manta ray. The sandbar was deeper than I imagined, so it was a bit different from what I pictured. I joined without knowing what to do at the sandbar, but it was great to experience snorkeling.

正直、あまり期待してませんでしたが思ったより楽しめました。ウミガメは予想以上に多く、運良くマンタにも遭遇できました。サンドバーは思ったより深かったので、イメージとは少し違いました。また、サンドバーで何をするのか不明なまま参加したのですが、シュノーケリングを体験したのが良かったです。

I participated in January.
I could hardly see any turtles, just catching a glimpse of them far out at sea.
And it was only for a moment.

The sandbar was just a shallow area up to my waist, even for adults, and it was completely unimpressive.
Many participants who joined thinking there would be a beach in the middle of the ocean ended up spending most of their time on the boat because the water was too cold in winter, which was very disappointing.

I believe the tours should either be held during the season when there are many turtles or only during the season when there is a beach.

１月に参加しました。
亀もほとんど見れずに
遠く海上に出てくるのを見るだけ。
しかも、一瞬。

サンドバーも、大人でも腰ぐらいある浅瀬で
まったく感動なし。
海のど真ん中に砂浜があるという触れ込みで参加されていた方も
結局冬で水が冷たくて結局船で過ごされていた方も多く、
とても残念です。

やはり、亀がたくさんいるシーズンにするか
砂浜があるシーズンのみツアーを開催するべきです。

The weather was sunny with occasional clouds, but there was wind, and it was surprisingly cold. The sandbar had water levels up to my knees. Snorkeling at the coral reef had life jackets available, but it seemed deep and was scary for the children. We were lucky to see a sea turtle while snorkeling.

天気は晴れ時々くもりでしたが、風があり、意外と寒かったです。サンドバーは膝下くらいの水位でした。サンゴ礁にてのシュノーケリングは、ライフジャケットはありましたが、深くて子供には怖かったようです。シュノーケリングではウミガメも見れてラッキーでした。

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! The sandbar was soooo cool and playing volleyball on it was so fun fun!!!

I participated in a breakfast-only tour.

It rained on and off from the time we departed until we reached Angel's Beach, but we were able to see sea turtles, and by the time we arrived at Angel's Beach, the weather had cleared up, so I am satisfied with the tour content.

For this tour, we traveled to the site with two buses, but one of the pick-up buses took a long time to arrive... In the end, it was about 45 minutes after the first bus left that they finally came to pick us up.

The guide who was with us on the way seemed to leave because they were going to the next tour time, and they said, "Please wait here. If it rains, wait over there (at the public restroom with a roof)!!" which made me feel very anxious.

I never expected to feel so uncomfortable just because the buses were different, even though it was the same tour. It's really disappointing because the content of the tour was very good.

朝食のみのツアーに参加しました。
出港時〜天使の海に行くまでの間雨が降ったりやんだりを
繰り返していたのですが、ウミガメは見ることができましたし、天使の海に着いた頃には晴れていたのでツアーの内容には満足しています。

今回のツアーは２台のバスで現地まで行ったのですが
迎えのバスのうち１台がなかなか来ず。。。
最終的に１台目のバスが出発してから４５分ほどたってやっと迎えに来てくれる・・・といった感じでした。

行きにはいてくださったガイドさんも次の時間帯のツアーにいくからなのか
【ここで待っていてください。雨が降ったらあそこ（屋根のある公衆トイレ）で待っていてください！！】という言葉を残し、行ってしまったのでとても不安な気持ちになりました。

同じツアーなのに
バスが違うだけでこんなに嫌な気持ちなるなんて思いませんでした。
ツアーの内容はとてもよかったので残念でなりません。

A family with five children aged 4 to 14 participated. The weather was favorable, and we had truly wonderful views and experiences. The sea was a bit cold, so the 4-year-old couldn't stay in for too long, but they enjoyed it.

4歳から14歳まで子どもが５人の家族で参加しました。
天候に恵まれ、本当に素晴らしい景色と体験が出来ました。
海は少し寒かったので、4歳の子は余り長い時間入ってられませんでしたが、たのしめました。

The day I participated was clear and the wind was gentle, making it incredibly beautiful! The contrast between the sea and the sky was stunning! I heard there are cloudy days as well, but when it's sunny, the view is breathtaking!! I want to go again!

参加させて頂いた日が快晴で風も穏やかだったのもあり、凄く綺麗でした！
海、空のコントラストが美しかったです！
曇りの時もあるみたいですが、晴れている時は絶景です！！ もう一度行きたいと思いました！！

I joined a morning tour. The guide was interesting and I had a great time, and I saw quite a few sea turtles. In the morning, when we got off the boat, the water was about waist-deep, and we walked a bit to the sandbar. Even so, it was still up to my knees. The sea was very beautiful.

朝出て行くツアーに乗りました。ガイドさんは面白くて楽しめましたし、ウミガメもかなり見えました。朝は船を降りると腰ぐらいまでの深さがあり、少し歩いてサンドバーに。それでも膝上くらいまではありました。海はとても綺麗でした。

Even in Hawaii, it was cold in December. The half-day course was just right. I recommend it as a trial for those who want to try snorkeling. Since you just swim back and forth while looking at the coral, it was fine even if you’re not very confident in your swimming skills. As others have commented, the sandbar depends on the timing of the tides, so it was a bit disappointing. However, I was happy to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays!

ハワイと言えども、１２月寒かった。半日コースでちょうど良かったです。
シュノーケリング始めてみたい方にはお試しとしてお勧めです。
行列を作りながらサンゴを見て往復するだけなので泳ぎに多少自信がなくても大丈夫でした。
サンドバーは他の方もコメントしている通り、潮の満ち引きのタイミングもあるので残念ながらといった感じでした。
ただし、ウミガメはもちろん、マンタも見られたのでhappy!でした！

It was a morning-only early bird tour. The schedule was very fulfilling with no wasted time, and I was very satisfied with the tour. Even just in the morning, the content was rich. The staff were cheerful, fun, and very kind. Thank you for the enjoyable tour.

午前中のみ早朝プランのツアーでした。スケジュールも大変充実してて無駄の時間が無く、
とても満足いくツアーでした。午前中のみでも内容が濃いです。スタッフの皆様は明るく楽しく対応も親切でした。楽しいツアーありがとうございました。

I used the service on December 29. There was no wind, and the sea was calm, making it a perfect day for the tour. It was a wonderful experience with many sea turtles observed, and my small children, aged 3 and 6, were able to play happily. The tour staff's fun talks and thoughtfulness added to the experience.

However, the air conditioning on the bus going there was too cold, and all the tour guests were uncomfortable. I tried to bring it up to the driver, but as soon as I started talking, he had an attitude that suggested I shouldn't say anything more. What a shame! The temperature control on the return bus was good.

１２月２９日に利用しました。風はなく、海も凪、最高のツアー日和でした。多くのウミガメが観察できたこと、３歳と６歳の小さな子供も楽しく遊べたこと、ツアースタッフの楽しいトークと心使いなど素晴らしいツアーでした。
ただ、行きのバスのエアコンが寒すぎ、ツアー客全員困っていたので、運転手に訴えようとしましたが、話を始めた途端、それ以上言うなという態度で受け付けてもらえませんでした。残念！帰りのバスは良好な温度コントロールでした。

The reservation for my preferred time was fully booked, so I had to start around noon, but that turned out to be a blessing as I had an amazing time. On the way there, we encountered heavy rain that reduced visibility, and it continued to rain heavily and lightly after we arrived. However, about 30 minutes before we started, the sun came out, and we ended up ziplining in great weather. If I had gone at my original time, I would have faced a downpour, which would have been quite a hassle. When the previous group returned, everyone was soaked...

The guide spoke entirely in English, which was a bit tiring as I had to concentrate, but everyone was friendly and had a great vibe; it was simply wonderful. I got bitten by mosquitoes, so I recommend bringing insect repellent if that concerns you. Overall, the scenery and weather were fantastic, and both the guide and the people I was with were great, making for a wonderful experience. I didn't see any other Japanese people in the groups before or after mine, so you can really enjoy the feeling of being abroad. In any case, this is something you absolutely must do!!!

希望時間の予約がいっぱいで、昼頃スタートになってしまったのですが、それが功を奏して最高な時間を過ごす事ができました。
車で向かう途中、視界が無くなる程の大雨で、到着してからも大雨と小雨の繰り返し。
しかし、開始30分くらい前から日差しが出てきて、結果良い天候の中でのジップラインでした。
希望時間のままでしたら、大雨にたたられ、大変なことになる所でした。
その時間の人達が戻ってきたら、皆さんずぶ濡れでしたので。。。
全編英語のガイドでしたので、集中して聞くのにやや疲れましたが、皆さんノリが良く優しくて、すばらしいの一言でした。
蚊に刺されましたので、気になる方は虫よけスプレーなどを振っていくことをオススメします。
とにかく、景色も天気もすばらしく、ガイドさんも一緒に同行した人達も良い人達ばかりで、良い時間を過ごすことができました。
前後のグループを含め、日本人は見かけなかったので、海外気分を大いに味わうことができますよ。
とにかく、とにかく、これは絶対にやるべし！！！

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to visit the beautiful ocean in Hawaii for the first time! On the day of the tour, the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine and rain. Unfortunately, it was cold and windy during the snorkeling, but even so, the ocean was beautiful and I was able to see fish. I think it would have looked even more stunning if it had been sunny the whole time!

初めてのハワイで綺麗な海に行きたいと思い、このツアーに申し込みました！当日は天気が曇り時々晴れ時々雨でした。風が強くあいにく寒い中のシュノーケリングになりましたが、そんな中でも海は綺麗で魚も見れました。ずっと晴れていたら何倍も綺麗に見れたと思います！

My kids now want to take horseback riding lessons ! They enjoyed every minute of it

So much fun ! we loved it ! A great way to see this beautiful ranch

Had a blast. Staff were awesome and very friendly. Saw sea turtles and tons of fish and played water volley ball on the sand bar. Would do this again!

I enjoyed a full two-hour ride at locations that were used for filming Jurassic Park and Lost! It was a 45-minute drive from Honolulu by rental car. Our guide, Morgan, was incredibly hospitable and had studied Japanese, so he understood Japanese culture well. We were able to chat a lot during the ride. Even if you can't speak English, he will do his best to listen if you speak slowly. It was such a fun time that when I said things like "fantastic" or "amazing," he responded with a million-dollar smile, saying, "It's my pleasure." There are points where you can take photos, but be careful not to drop your camera, so I recommend using a lanyard that you can hang around your neck if you're a beginner. I also suggest wearing long pants to protect your legs and a waterproof outdoor jacket.

JURASSIC PARKやLOSTなどの撮影ロケーションともなった場所をたっぷり2時間ライドしました！ホノルルからレンタカーで45分でした。丁寧なガイドのホスピタリティ溢れるMorganは、日本語を勉強したことがあり、日本の文化にも理解があって、ライドしながらたくさんおしゃべりもできました。英語ができなくてもゆっくり話せば頑張って聞いてくれます。すごく楽しい時間だったので「ファンタスティック」とか「アメージング」と話しかけると、「It's my pleasure（喜んでもらえると嬉しい）」と100万ドルの笑顔でした。写真を撮ってくれるポイントもあるのですが、落とすと大変なので、初心者はカメラを首から下げるタイプのランヤードなどで持っていくといいと思います。足を保護する長ズボンと、Waterproofのアウトドアジャケットの着用をお薦めします。

Lanai ensured we had a Wonderful day. Great itinerary, local food and we came away with a deeper understanding of the islands, its people and culture.

I really enjoyed my time on the captain Bobs tour! I would definitely do it again and would recommend it to all my friends. It's a must do when visiting Hawaii! The company crew was awesome! Very friendly:) can't wait to go back!

I was impressed by the incredibly beautiful sea!

I was a bit anxious because my elderly mother was with me, but the staff were kind and we were able to enjoy ourselves. I especially appreciate the help from the staff member "Yuki," who I believe is Japanese. I would like to visit again during the season when the sandy beach appears.

Also, I was disappointed for being late to the meeting time, but I am grateful that the VELTRA staff called the hotel and made new arrangements for us. Thank you very much!

と～っても綺麗な海で感激しました＼(^o^)／

年老いた母が一緒だったので少し不安でしたが、スタッフのみなさんが親切で楽しむことができました。特に日本人（と思います）スタッフの「ｙｕｋｉ」さんお世話になりました。今度は砂浜が現れる季節に行きたいと思います。

また、集合時間に遅れてしまいがっかりしていたところに、VELTRAのスタッフの方がホテルに電話をくださり、新たに手配くださったのにも感謝です。ありがとうございましたm(__)m

The weather on the day was perfect, making it an ideal day for kayaking.

The pickup was on time, and after arriving, we were able to borrow bodyboards and snorkels to play at Kailua Beach until lunchtime. For lunch, you can choose from pizza, BBQ plates, or salad bowls, but I definitely recommend the pizza! The spinach and garlic pizza, in particular, is exquisite! The restaurant staff were cheerful, and we had a great time dining!

After lunch, we pulled the kayaks to the beach. I think it took about 15 minutes to reach Flat Island. Upon arriving at Flat Island, we received various explanations about the island's ecosystem and Hawaii's history from our guide, Yasuyo. They also took plenty of photos, and it was truly a fun time.

After kayaking back to Kailua Beach, we pulled the kayaks back to the shop. We pulled the kayaks ourselves both ways, but it didn't feel burdensome at all.

It was really fun!!!

当日は天候に恵まれ、絶好のカヤック日和でした。

迎えも時間通りで、到着してからお昼まではボディボードやシュノーケルを貸していただき、カイルアビーチで遊びました。
昼ご飯はピザ、BBQプレート、サラダボールから選べますが、、、ピザを断然お勧めします！
特にほうれん草とガーリックのピザが絶品です！レストランの店員さんも陽気で、楽しく食事することができました！

昼ご飯を食べた後、カヤックをビーチまで引っ張って行きます。
フラットアイランドまで15分程度だったと思います。
フラットアイランド到着後はガイドのヤスヨさんから島の生態系やハワイの歴史について等、様々な説明を受けることができました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれ、本当に楽しい時間でした。

カヤックでカイルアビーチに戻った後は、再びカヤックを引っ張ってお店まで戻ります。
行きも帰りもカヤックを自分たちで引っ張って行きますが、特に負担には感じませんでした。

本当に楽しかったです！！！

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandy beach, but the tour was very good! I forgot the name (sorry...), but the Japanese female staff member was cute, funny, and made it enjoyable♪ They also called the fish with food for snorkeling, and my kindergarten-aged daughter was able to have a great time. The water was about waist-deep for her, so I want to try again next time!

残念ながら砂浜はみれませんでしたがツアーはとてもよかったです！名前は忘れてしましましたが(すいません・・）日本人の女性スタッフの方がかわいくておもしろくて楽しめました♪シュノーケルもエサで魚をよんでくれて、幼稚園児の娘でもしっかり楽しむことができました。水面が娘だと腰くらいまであったので、次回またリベンジしたいです！

The guide was very energetic and it was fun! We got to see sea turtles, which was amazing. On the way back, I think it would be good to have an extra hoodie or something since it gets cold! I want to go again at a different time!!!

ガイドさんがテンション高くて楽しかった！海ガメも見れて、最高でした。帰りは、寒いので余分にパーカーとかあるといいかなと思います！また、違う時期に行きたい！！！

Soooo slow, but was well suited to beginners. Pricey but gorgeous. The instructor was very knowlegeable of the films shot in the valley. Pleasant, but I wanted to gallop and could not.

Sandbar!!
It was truly a dreamlike view.
A white beach appears alone in the ocean.
There, I played volleyball with cheerful Hawaiians.
After a bit of moving around, I got to see wild sea turtles.
They swam gracefully in the beautiful sea.
For lunch, I had a cheeseburger,
which was delicious because it was grilled on the boat!!
Finally, we toured around the coral.
It was a plan to fully enjoy the sea of Hawaii!!

サンドバー！！
まさに夢のような景色。
沖にぽつんと現れる白浜。
そこで陽気なハワイ人とバレーボール。
少し移動し、野生のウミガメを見学。
きれいな海を優雅に泳ぐ。
昼ごはんは、チーズバーガー
船の上でグリルで焼くからまた旨い！！
最後は珊瑚を周遊。
ハワイの海を全身で満喫するプランでした！！

The barbecue lunch was delicious. Although it wasn't low tide for the sandbar, it was fun to go snorkeling. Snorkeling on the coral reef was unexpectedly... it seems like it would be enjoyable with the fish coming close. I'm sorry for making her feel cold.

ランチのバーべーキューもおいしかったです。サンドバーも干潟になる時間ではありませんでしたが、シュノーケリングできてたのしかったです。サンゴ礁のシュノーケリングは不覚にも…・魚が寄ってきたりして楽しいそうです。彼女には寒い思いをさせてごめんなさい。

Since we were going anyway, my wife insisted that we try horseback riding! Initially, I had planned to do a zipline experience that I saw on TV, but horseback riding seemed to be quite popular, and we couldn't secure a time that worked for us (I received numerous cancellation emails from VELTRA…). So, we decided to focus solely on horseback riding.

However, since horseback riding alone does not come as a package, there was no shuttle service from Waikiki. We chose to take a bus (The Bus) from Waikiki to Ala Moana for the transfer. The transfer at the bus stop south of Ala Moana Center was straightforward, but the only downside was that after a long ride in an air-conditioned bus, I needed to use the restroom frequently.

We got off at the bus stop in front of Kualoa Ranch and headed straight to the building in front of us. After passing through the shop, we found the entrance to the attraction at the back. We exchanged our voucher for tickets at the ticket booth and went to the horseback riding building at the designated time.

A staff member guided us to sign a waiver. After that, we watched a DVD explaining the horseback riding experience. It seemed that there were several languages available, but they made sure to play the Japanese version for us.

Once the group was assembled, the horses were brought out, and we were guided in order. Despite it being a weekday, there were quite a few people (around 16), and it took just under 30 minutes from the explanation until everyone was mounted. This shows how popular it is.

Finally, we began the horseback riding. We rode for about 45 minutes on paths that included muddy areas and paved roads. There were various things to keep in mind, like needing to ride in a single file, ensuring the horses didn't eat grass, and maintaining balance, but the views of the sea and mountains while riding were absolutely beautiful.

In a highland horseback riding experience, you only get to enjoy the mountain scenery, but here you can enjoy both the mountains and the sea. The one-hour course (which was actually about 45 minutes) flew by. I would love to go riding again if I have the chance. Next time, I definitely want to try the two-hour course…

せっかく行くからには乗馬体験したい！との妻の一言から決まりました。最初はテレビで見たジップラインとのセットを目論んでいたのですが、乗馬はなかなか人気らしく、思うような時間が取れませんでした(何度VELTRAさんからのキャンセルメールが届いたことか…)。それで、乗馬一本に絞っていくことに方針変更。
がしかし、乗馬だけの場合パッケージ扱いとならないので、ワイキキからの送迎がありません。私たちはワイキキからアラモアナ乗り換えのバス(The Bus)というコースを選択しました。乗り換えはアラモアナセンター南のバス停で特に問題ないのですが、長時間冷房のきいたバスに乗ったため、トイレが近くなったのが唯一の難点でした。
クアロア牧場前のバス停で降り、まっすぐ正面の建物へ。売店を通り抜けると奥にアトラクションの入り口があります。チケットブースでバウチャーとチケットを引き換え、指定の時間に乗馬の建物へ行きます。
係りの女性から承諾書に署名するよう案内があります。その後DVDで乗馬に当たっての説明を見ます。日本語のほかにも何ヶ国語かあるようですが、ちゃんと日本語を流してくださいました。
組がそろったら馬が連れてこられ、順番に案内されます。が、平日にもかかわらず人数が多く(16人ほどいたような)、説明から皆が乗り終わるまで30分弱を要しました。人気の高さが伺えます。
その後いよいよ乗馬開始。ぬかるみもある道やコンクリ舗装の道などを約45分ほど馬にのって歩きます。一列に進めないといけないとか、馬が草を食べたりしないようにとか、バランスをとらなくちゃとか、いろいろ気にするところはありますが、馬に乗りながら見る海や山の景色はとてもきれいです。
高原の乗馬体験とかだと山の景色だけですが、こちらでは山も海も両方楽しめます。1時間コース(実質45分ほど)ですがあっという間に過ぎていきました。また機会があれば乗りに行きたいです。次回はぜひ2時間コースで…。

It was a sunny day, but very windy. When kayaking, strong winds can make it take longer to reach your destination and require more effort to paddle, but the woman who guided us was very interesting and kind. The excitement when we arrived was incredible! I had the most fun experience in Hawaii. Also, the pizza was really delicious! I definitely want to come back someday. However, we had to wait about 30 minutes for the other tour participants, so we couldn't spend more than 20 minutes at Lanikai Beach, which was disappointing! If we had one more hour, I would have been even more satisfied.

晴れましたがとても風が強い日でした。カヤックは風が強いと、たどり着くまでが時間がかかり漕ぐ力も必要になりますが、教えてくれた女性がとっても面白くていい方でした。たどり着いたときの感動はひとしお！ハワイで一番面白い体験をできました。あと、ピザ本当においしかったです！いつかまた絶対来たいです。ただ、他のツアーの方を待つのに30分くらい待ったりする時間もあったので、ラニカイビーチには20分もいられず残念！あと一時間長ければより満足でした。

I had a great time.
I participated in mid-September, and the sandbar was about 15 to 20 cm deep at the shallowest point.
During snorkeling, when the staff threw in some food, a lot of fish came close, and I really enjoyed it.
(I think there were sea turtles, but I missed seeing them.)
The lunch hamburger was surprisingly delicious!

I applied sunscreen before participating, but while I took a 30-minute nap on the boat, I got an incredibly severe sunburn like I had never experienced before. It was painful to walk the next day and afterward, which was tough.
At the end, the staff said, "Since this is an American company, if possible, we would appreciate your feelings..." (for tips), so I dropped a little something into the tip bucket at the boat disembarkation point. However, when I looked at the bucket, there were zero tips from anyone except our group!!!
During the tour, they prepared meals and provided support, and I felt that the staff's personality and service were very pleasant. However, there were some people who hesitated, saying things like, "Is it okay to give just coins?" which personally surprised me.

楽しかったです。
９月半ばに参加、サンドバーは一番浅い場所で水深15〜20cmくらいだったかな？
シュノーケリングはスタッフさんがエサを投下すると、たくさんのお魚さんが間近に来てくれて、とても楽しめました。
(海ガメもいたみたいですが、自分は見逃しました。
)
ランチのハンバーガーが意外にも美味しくて♪(´ε｀ )

日焼け止め塗って参加しましたが、ボートで30分うたた寝してる間に今まで体験したことないくらいの物凄い日焼け(重症)してしまい、翌日以降歩くのも痛くて、大変でした。
最後にスタッフさんが「一応、アメリカの会社なのでできれば、、お気持ちを、、お願いします！」(チップ)と言われたので、ボート降車口に設置されているチップ入れのバケツに少しばかり気持ちを投下しました。が、しかし、バケツを見てみると、うちのグループ以外にチップ投下ゼロ！！！
ツアー中は食事の用意やらサポートやらしていただきましたし、スタッフさんの人柄や対応もとても気持ちの良いものだったと感じたのですが。。
中には「小銭でもいいかな？」なんて言って渋ってる方もいて、個人的には驚きました。
