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＞

Sea turtles! They're super cute! ウミガメ！超かわいいよ！

Reviewed by: 明美

Unlike Japan, feeding fish in Hawaii incurs a $100 fine! However, there's no need to lure fish with food; I was able to see plenty of them in their natural state! I even saw a large school of jackfish, which was a bit spine-tingling... But with our guide Allen, I felt at ease.

I encountered sea turtles twice; they are so cute when they come up to the surface to breathe, making little "puu" sounds. It's great to see a variety of fish, but watching the sea turtles for a long time is also fascinating.

Allen is a very friendly foreigner who seems to understand almost all of Japanese. Yumi-chan, who experienced this with me, is a beginner at snorkeling, and it seemed she had some trouble with how to hold the mouthpiece, so he guided her several times along the way.

This tour also includes fins, allowing us to swim lightly near the outer bay, and I would definitely love to go again if I have the chance! (*^▽^*)

日本と違ってハワイは餌付けすると$100罰金！
だけど餌付けで魚を誘う必要は全くない、一杯自然な状態で見れました！大きなアジの大群も見れて、ちょっと鳥肌･･･
でもガイドのアレンさんがいるので安心です。

ウミガメは二度会いました、藻を食べている様や呼吸するために海面に浮いてきてプウってとてもカワイイ呼吸をします。一杯色んな魚を見るのも良いし、ずっとウミガメを見ているのも面白いです。

アレンさんはとても気さくな外人さんで、ほぼ日本語わかる感じ、一緒に体験したゆみちゃんがシュノーケル初心者なのですが、マウスのくわえ方が悪かったみたいで、途中何度も指導をしてくれました。

またこのツアーは足ひれを付けるので湾の外近くまで軽く泳ぎ回ることが出来て、また機会があれば是非行きたいですね(*^▽^*)

It exceeded my expectations! 期待以上でした！

Reviewed by: tomo

I'm glad I chose the expert guide. The guide was truly an expert.
There were two other groups besides ours, but everyone except us was white. I was really nervous, thinking, "Wait, this isn't a tour for Japanese people!?" but the guide spoke fluent Japanese. They provided great support, and there were no issues at all.
Since it was January, the sea was cold, but the guide took us out to the ocean, and it was like a dragon palace or an aquarium! There were so many fish! It was an unbelievable sight.
Without the guide, I would never have seen such a view, and if I have the chance to go again, I will definitely choose the expert guide plan again.
Maybe it was the right season, but there were also a lot of turtles.
There are cheaper plans available, but I think choosing this plan was definitely the right decision based on the satisfaction I felt.
I created unforgettable memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.

達人ガイドにして良かったです。ガイドさんはまさに達人でした。
私たちのほかに２グループが参加していましたが、私たち意外は全員白人さん。「ひぇ~日本人向けのツアーじゃなかったのー！？」とビビりまくりましたが、ガイドさんは日本語ぺらぺら。フォローもしっかりしてくれて何の問題ありませんでした。
１月だったので海は寒かったですが、ガイドさんが沖のほうまで連れて行ってくれて、そこはまさに竜宮城か水族館！お魚さんがいーっぱい！信じられないような光景でした。
ガイドさんがいなかったら、あんな景色は絶対に見れなかったし、次に行く機会があれば、また絶対達人ガイドプランにします。
シーズンが良かったのか亀さんもいっぱいいました。
他に安いプランもあるけど、満足感からすればこのプランを選んだのは大正解だったと思います。
一生忘れられない最高の思い出ができました。

Absolutely recommended! 絶対オススメ！

Reviewed by: LIMO

I participated in this tour in late October. At first, I was considering other cheaper tours, but since my friend can't swim at all and is a beginner at snorkeling, I was also anxious about what might happen, so I decided on this tour with an expert guide.

On the day of the tour, there were four participants: two Japanese and an American mother and daughter. Our guide, Allyn, was very kind and gentlemanly, explaining everything in both English and Japanese. All we needed to bring were the entrance fee for Hanauma Bay, a change of clothes, and a towel. The tram made it easy to go up and down to the bay, and they also took care of our bags, which was reassuring. Since there wasn't any warm-up, it might be a good idea to move our bodies a bit beforehand.

After learning how to put on the mask and fins and practicing floating a little, we went straight into the ocean! Depending on the participants, it might vary, but in our case, we swam continuously and didn't return to the beach until the end. Allyn held hands with two of us on each side, and we swam side by side. Although we were swimming, we didn't kick much; Allyn was pulling us along while we floated. I was surprised at how far out we swam, but we saw fish almost immediately after starting. Soon after, we were able to see sea turtles. Although there were some areas where the water was murky, there were moments when it suddenly cleared up, and we encountered schools of fish and beautifully colored fish right in front of us (I don't know the names of the fish), which was incredibly moving and exciting!

I had previously snorkeled in Ko Olina, but this experience was definitely better. I think the points we swam to would be hard to reach on our own. Most people swimming in Hanauma Bay are in shallow areas, but we went to places much deeper than that.

I participated in the morning, but the seawater temperature was cold. My friend said it was warmer than Waikiki. While swimming, the waves were strong, and it felt a bit scary to go to deeper areas, but wearing life jackets and having an experienced guide made me feel safe. My friend, who was initially anxious, said she had no problems at all.

It was truly, truly fun!!! If you're going to Hanauma Bay to snorkel, I definitely recommend this tour!

10月下旬に参加してきました。
最初は金額を考え他にあるもっと安いツアーを検討していたのですが、一緒に行く友達が全く泳げずシュノーケルも初心者ということもあり、何かあったときに私も不安だったので、達人ガイドのいるこのツアーに決めました。

当日の参加者は、私たち日本人２人と、アメリカ人の母娘の計４名。ガイドのAllynは、とても優しく紳士的で、すべて説明も英語と日本語それぞれでしてくれました。
持ち物はハナウマ湾の入場料と着替えとタオルだけ持っていけばOK。湾への上り下りもトラムに乗れてらくちん♪荷物も預かってくれるので安心です。特に準備運動とかしないので、自分たちで体動かしておいたほうがいいかもしれません。
マスクとフィンのつけ方を教わりちょっと浮かぶ練習したら、すぐに海にでました！参加者によって違うかもしれませんが、私たちの場合ここからずっと泳ぎっぱなしで終わるまでビーチには戻ってきませんでした。
Allynが真ん中で両方に２人ずつ手をつないで５人横並びで泳ぎました。泳ぐといってもあまりバタ足をすることもなく、浮かんでる私たちをAllynが引っ張ってくれてました。自分が思ってた以上に沖の方まで泳いでいったのでびっくりしましたが、泳ぎ始めてすぐに魚が見れました。その後すぐにウミガメを見ることができました。海は汐で見えにくいとこもありましたが、いきなり澄んだと思ったら、目の前に魚群やキレイな色の魚に出会えたりと（魚の名前は分かりませんが）、めちゃめちゃ感動と興奮でした！
以前コオリナの方でシュノーケルをしたことがあるのですが、その時よりこっちのほうが断然良かったです。
私たちが泳いで行ったポイントは自力ではなかなか行けれないと思います。ハナウマ湾で泳いでる人のほとんどが浅瀬ですが、その倍以上のところまで行きました。

今回午前中に参加しましたが、海水の温度は冷たかったです。友達はワイキキより暖かかったと言ってますが。
泳いでいると波の力も強いし深いところまでいってちょっと怖いとすら感じましたが、ライフジャケットも着ているし、ベテランのガイドがついているので安心できました。始めは不安がっていた友達も何の問題もなく大丈夫だったと言ってました。

本当に本当に楽しかったです！！！
せっかくハナウマ湾にきてシュノーケルするなら、ぜひこのツアーに参

The sea and the guide were awesome!! 海もガイドさんもサイコー!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We used this service during our honeymoon trip to Hawaii in late July. There were three participants, including my wife and me. The guide was fluent in Japanese and very entertaining. My wife struggles with sports and had a hard time getting used to swimming, but the guide patiently supported her until the end. Thanks to that, we heard her say something very positive that she usually wouldn't: "I want to try this again."

Underwater, we were able to see many fish and, believe it or not, a sea turtle! If you only consider the price, there are cheaper options available locally and on other sites, but when you include the services (ticket purchase, bus ride to the bay, snacks, and the guide), I think it's definitely a great deal. I highly recommend it, especially for beginners! If I have the chance again, I would love to participate.

　７月下旬から新婚旅行でハワイに行ったとき利用させてもらいました。参加者は私達夫婦を含めて３人でした。
　ガイドさんは日本語もバッチリ☆そしておもしろい★妻はｽﾎﾟｰﾂが苦手で、なかなか泳ぎになれず、最後の方まで苦戦していましたが、ガイドさんが、最後まで根気強くサポートしてくれました。そのおかげで、「またやってみたい。」といういつもにはないチョー前向きな言葉を聞くことが出来ました。
　また水中では、たくさんの魚や、なっなっなんとウミガメを見ることも出来ました。
　料金だけで考えると、現地や他のサイトで、もっと安いものもありますが、サービス（入場券購入、湾までのバス利用、おやつ、ガイドなど）を含めると、断然お得だと思いました。特に初心者には絶対お勧め！！
　また機会があれば、是非参加してみたいと思います(^_^)v

Reviewed by: tsugu

We participated in a morning tour with my 7-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my wife, who can't swim. Our guide, Alan, picked us up at the meeting point, and on the way, we stopped by Alan's office to choose fins that fit my feet before heading to Hanauma Bay. Alan is a friendly guy who has lived in Nagoya, so he speaks Japanese quite well.

First, we learned how to wear the mask, breathe, and use the fins. We paired up with the kids and set off holding hands. When we got to deeper water, my younger child got scared, but Alan held their hand too, and the three of us held hands as he took us to various points.

There were many different fish, and they came so close that it felt like we could catch them if we reached out. They swam right in front of us and below us without fleeing. We didn't see any turtles, but we encountered some very large fish and long, slender fish about a meter long. Alan mentioned that turtles don't come to the bay much during low tide because it's shallow.

Towards the end, my daughters and wife got tired and decided to retire, while I asked Alan to take me to another point, which left me very satisfied. I brought a disposable underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures while floating. I won't know how well they turned out until I develop the film.

Thanks to the life jacket, my wife, who can't swim, was able to float and enjoyed herself. The kids seemed to have a great time too and were reluctant to leave. Alan was very considerate, so we completed the tour without any worries.

For those considering the tour, here's some helpful information: they provide a fairly large safety box (with a lock), which easily accommodated changes of clothes, towels, and sandals for all four of us. The ride down to the beach was easy since we took a trolley bus (the trolley bus fee seemed to be included in the participation cost). There were also showers and changing areas available.

It's a tour that makes you want to participate again!

7歳と10歳の娘と泳げない妻との4人で午前中のツアーに参加しました。
ガイドのアランさんがピックアップ場所まで迎えに来てくれ、途中アランさんの事務所により自分の足に合ったフィンを選びハナウマ湾へ出発。アランさんは名古屋に住んでいたことがあるらしく日本語が達者な気さくなオッサンです。
最初にマスクの付け方、呼吸の仕方やフィンの使い方などを教わり、大人と子どものペアで手をつなぎ出発。深い所に行くと下の子が怖がってしまいましたが、アランさんも子どもの手をつないでくれ3人で手をつなぎいろんなポイントに連れて行ってもらいました。
いろんな魚がたくさんいて、手を伸ばせば捕まえれそうな距離まで近づいても逃げずにいるし、私たちの前や下を普通に泳いで行きます。
亀にはあえませんでしたが、とても大きな魚や1mぐらいはある細長い魚たちに遭遇。亀は引き潮の時間は湾が浅いからあまり来ないと言っていました。
終盤に娘と妻が疲れたとリタイヤ、私はアランさんに別のポイントに連れて行ってもらい大満足。
使い捨ての水中カメラを持って行ったのですが、浮かんだ状態での撮影は難しいです。上手く写っているかは現像してみないと分かりません。
泳げない妻もライフジャケットのおかげで浮いていられ、楽しんでいました。
子どもたちもとても楽しんでくれたみたいで帰るのを惜しんでいました。
アランさんがいろいろと気をつかってくれたので何の不安もなく無事ツアー終了。

ツアー検討中の方へ参考となれば
結構大きいセーフティボックス（鍵付き）を持っていってくれるので、４人分の着替えとタオル、サンダルはその中に余裕で入りました。
海までの上り下りはトロリーバスで行くので楽チン（トロリーバス代は参加費に含まれていたみたい）
シャワーと着替える場所はありました。
もう一度参加したくなるツアーです。

The guide held the hand of the 6-year-old and swam together with us, which was very helpful. The children were satisfied and happy to see various fish.

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!

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！

　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。

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！

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.

岸への帰り道、途中波が強く戻るのに10分以上かかった場所があり、やはり初心者にはガイドさんは必要だと思いました。

I think I'm going to get hooked on snorkeling. シュノーケリングにはまりそう

Reviewed by: まさじぃ

Since it was my first time snorkeling, I chose this tour with a guide, and it was definitely the right decision. Our guide, Alan, was great at speaking Japanese and taught us how to snorkel in a very thorough manner, which made me feel at ease. We encountered a sea turtle right after getting into the water and were thrilled to swim alongside it for a while. In the end, we saw two turtles! I really appreciated having a guide who took us to places we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own and to points with lots of fish. It truly became the best memory of my time in Hawaii. I highly recommend it for first-timers!

シュノーケリング初めてなのでガイドさん付きのこのツアーにしましたが大正解。
ガイドの「アランさん」は日本語も上手で、シュノーケリングのやり方も丁寧に教えてくれたので安心でした。
海に出てすぐに海亀に遭遇、しばらく一緒に泳げて感激。結局２匹も見れました。
自分たちだけでは行けないような所まで行けたり、たくさん魚がいるポイントに連れて行ってくれたりと、ガイドさん付きにして本当に良かったと思います。
ハワイでの最高の思い出になりました。
初めての方にはおすすめですよ。

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。

I recommend it! おすすめです！

Reviewed by: さき

Since it was my first time snorkeling, I chose this tour with an expert. The guide, Alan, was friendly, spoke Japanese well, and treated us with care, which made me feel very at ease. Additionally, we were able to go out to areas that we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own, so I highly recommend taking this tour if you're going! We also got to see sea turtles! However, if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.

初めてのｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞと言うことで、達人と一緒のこのツアーを選びました。
ガイドのアランさんも気さくで日本語も上手く丁寧に接してくれるため非常に安心できました。
また、自分たちでは行けないような沖の方まで行くことが出来たのでどうせ行くならこのツアーで行くことをお薦めします！！
ウミガメも見れました☆
ただ、波酔いをするヒトは酔い止めか何かを飲んだ方がイィかもしれません。

It was the best snorkeling tour! 最高のシュノーケリングツアーでした！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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。

A sea turtle seen up close. 間近でみたウミガメ

It was my first snorkeling experience, and thanks to the kind guidance of our instructor, I was able to see the wonderful underwater scenery.

I was truly impressed by the beautiful variety of fish and the two sea turtles that appeared right in front of me; the waters of Hawaii are really stunning.

I have no complaints about the tour; it was very fulfilling.

I highly recommend it to everyone.

It was the most wonderful experience for both of us! Allen was an exceptional instructor, holding my hand almost all the way. He was very patient, and we were surprised he had some cold drinks and snacks for us. He gets an EXCEPTIONAL rating! (September 2008)
