The weather was out of my control, but I really wish it had been sunnier. It was cold.
If you're taking a digital camera to the sandbar, I definitely think a waterproof camera would be best.
I might want to try again when the weather is better. I was glad to see the turtle, even if it was just for a moment.
天気はどうにもならないけど、やっぱりもっと晴れてたら良かったです。寒かった。
サンドバーにデジカメを持っていくならば絶対に防水カメラがいいなと思いました。
もっと天気が良い時に再度チャレンジしたいかも。カメが一瞬でしたけど見れて良かったです。

I was a bit worried because it was slightly cloudy, but by the time we went snorkeling, the sun came out, and I enjoyed the breathtaking scenery that is quintessentially Hawaii. I highly recommend that anyone who has never tried snorkeling before take the plunge here. The staff will kindly and thoroughly teach you the basics of snorkeling.
Whether you can see turtles depends on the day, but on this day, turtles were swimming right next to the boat, which was amazing.
Thanks to the friendly staff, it was a very enjoyable cruise.
少し曇っていたので心配でしたが、スノーケルをする頃には晴れてきて、これぞハワイという景色を堪能しました。スノーケルをしたことがない人には是非、ここで挑戦することをおすすめします。スタッフが懇切丁寧にスノーケルの基礎から教えてくれます。
亀がみれるかどうかはその日によるとのことですが、この日は船のすぐ近くをずっと亀が泳いでいましたので感激しました。
親切なスタッフの対応で大変楽しいクルーズとなりました。

I think the timing of the tides played a role, as I was in water above my knees and it wasn't great.
The weather suddenly turned bad, and I was soaked and cold while moving by boat.
When switching from the bus to the boat, I was the last one to board and had to wait quite a bit, which was a bit frustrating.
I joined because of the high ratings from others, but I'm feeling like maybe that's enough for me.
満ち引きの時期が関係していると思うが、膝以上海につかっている状態でいまいちだった。
天気も突然悪くなり、ボートで移動中もびしょびしょで寒さもつらかった。
バスからボートに乗り換えるとき、一番最後にされ、かなり待たされたのも少し不満。
他の方の評価が高くて参加したが、もういいかなという感じ

This is my second time participating. Last time, a few years ago, I joined an afternoon tour, but the weather wasn't great and I couldn't really feel the sandbar due to the tide. So, I made sure to check the low tide times and aimed for a day when the sandbar would be visible.
I participated in the morning tour on May 24th. I was surprised that there were more participants than expected, and we had to split into two groups. It seems everyone does their research. The weather was absolutely perfect, and just as I hoped, I was able to see the sandbar, which was beautiful. Well, there isn't much to do on the sandbar other than take pictures, but just gazing at the sparkling sea was very soothing.
During snorkeling, a friendly turtle appeared, and for a brief moment, I was able to swim close to it, which was a rare experience. I also saw a lot of fish.
After snorkeling, there was a light meal included, and it was surprisingly delicious. The warm coffee was a lifesaver.
Since the sandbar is the main attraction, I think it's better to check the low tide times properly; the weather is a matter of luck. It's also cold after snorkeling, so it's good to have something to wear.
今回は2回目の参加です。
前回は数年前に午後のツアーに参加したのですが、
お天気も良くなく潮の引き具合からサンドバーをイマイチ感じられなかったので
きちんと干潮の時間を調べ、サンドバーが出る日を狙っていきました。
5月24日の朝のツアーに参加しました。
参加者が予想以上に多く2グループに分かれたりして、ビックリしました。
やはり皆さん調べてくるんですね。
天気は最高によく、狙い通りにサンドバーを見ることができて、綺麗の一言。
ま、サンドバーでは写真を撮るだけで他にすることはないですが、
キラキラした海を眺めているだけで癒されました。
シュノーケルではツアーガイドさん達に懐いてるカメさんが現れて
一瞬ですが近くで泳ぐことができ、貴重な体験ができました。
他にもお魚さんがたくさん見れました。
シュノーケルのあとに、軽食がついていたのですが、予想以上にすごくおいしかったです。
あたたかいコーヒーに救われました。
やはりサンドバーがメインなので干潮をきちんと調べていったほうが良いかと思います、天気は運次第ですが。
シュノーケルの後は寒いので羽織るものはあったほうがよいです。

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I finally visited the sandbar I had always dreamed of.
On the way there, the guide's stories (in English) were interesting, so I wasn't bored on the bus, and the boat ride was fun too. We participated as a family, and my 4-year-old son was quite active, which caused some trouble for the staff and other participants, but everyone was very kind to us. I am grateful for that.
The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. It was a bit rainy and cold, and the tide was high, so I couldn't fully enjoy the charm of the sandbar. Since it's a natural activity, it is definitely affected by the weather... On the way back, we even saw sea turtles from the boat. The tour itself had delicious lunch, and I was very satisfied.
I hope to participate again when the weather is nice.
ハワイ6回目にして、初めてあこがれのサンドバーに行きました。
向かう途中のバスの中でも(英語でしたが)ガイドさんの話が面白くて退屈しませんでしたし、船も楽しかったです。
ファミリーでの参加、しかも4歳の息子が一緒で、全然大人しくしていなかったので、スタッフの方やほかの参加者の方々に大変ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さんにとても良くしていただきました。
感謝しています。
残念だったのは天気がいまいちだったことです。
雨がぱらついて寒かったり、潮が満ち気味だったりで、サンドバーの魅力を堪能することができませんでした。やはり自然のアクティビティなので、どうしても天候に左右されてしまいますよね…
帰りがけに、船の上からもウミガメが見れました。
ツアー自体はランチも美味しかったし、大変満足です。
今度は天気のいい時に、また参加できたらいいなあと思います。

It's perfect for sneaking out during a business trip. Just prepare your swimsuit and sunscreen (preferably cream type with over 85% protection), and you won't need anything else. A few older gentlemen participating might stand out a bit, but don't worry about it.

I think the difference lies in where companies can stand out since what you can see is the same across the board.
The good things were that they arrived almost on time, the service was good, and the explanations on the boat were well done.
What was disappointing was that the talks weren't very entertaining, and the biggest letdown was that I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling. It might have been unavoidable due to the large number of participants.
However, to come back without seeing a single fish was really disappointing. The sandbar was beautiful, and they actively took photos, which was nice, but I wanted to see the fish. It was very disappointing that they didn't guide us to the spots where we could actually see them and just proceeded mechanically.
見れるものはどの会社でも同じだからどこで差をつけるかだと思います。
よかったことは、ほぼ時間通りに迎えがきたこと、対応はよかったこと、船での説明がよかったこと。
残念だったのは、あまりトークが面白くなかったこと、一番大きかったのはスノーケルで魚が全然見えなかったこと。参加人数が多かったので仕方のないことだったかもしれません。
しかし、魚一匹も見れずに、帰ってきてくださーいって。。非常に残念です。
サンドバーは綺麗だったし、写真も積極的に撮ってくれたりしてよかったですが、お魚さんみたかったのに、ちゃんと見えるポイントも案内せず、事を機械的にすすめていたことが非常に残念でした。
Thank you for using our services.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the sandbar. Please understand that the number and types of fish you can see may vary from day to day, as they are wild creatures.
However, we will take your feedback into consideration and work with the tour operator to ensure that we can provide a more satisfying experience for all participants.
We look forward to serving you again.

During my stay, I chose the day when the water would be shallowest, but unfortunately, the sandbar did not appear, and the water was only about knee-deep. Near the sandbar, where the boat stopped, the depth was about waist-high, and I walked from there toward the sandbar. I thought I could get down in the shallow area, so it was unfortunate that my grandmother couldn't manage it, but it seemed she still enjoyed being on the boat.
I wondered if the water would have been a bit shallower if the boat hadn't had issues that delayed our departure. The bottom was covered in white coral sand, and I could see the mountains of Kualoa, which were very beautiful!
While snorkeling, I even met a turtle that was a friend of the captain. It seemed used to people and came very close to us.
It was quite windy and extremely cold, so it might be a good idea to bring about two bath towels. The staff were very kind and made the experience enjoyable!
滞在中、一番水面が浅くなる日を選んだのですが、残念ながらサンドバーは現れず、ひざ下くらいでした。
サンドバーの近く、ボートがとまったところは腰上くらいの深さで、そこからサンドバーを目指して歩きました。浅いところで降りれるのかと思っていたので、残念ながら祖母には無理でしたが、船上だけでも楽しかったようです。
ボートの調子が悪くて出発が遅れることがなければ、もうちょっと浅かったのかなあ、と思いました。足元は白い珊瑚の砂で、クアロアの山々も見えて、とてもきれいでした!
シュノーケリング中にはキャプテンの知り合いのカメさんにも会えました。人に慣れているのか、すごく近くまで来てくれました。
風が強く、ものすごく寒かったので、バスタオル2枚くらい持っていったほうが良いかもしれません。
スタッフのみなさんはとても親切で楽しかったです!

I signed up for the early morning plan. I was finally able to go to the sandbar that I had always wanted to visit with my husband and my 2-year-old daughter. The weather in Waikiki during pickup was sunny! I thought this was going to be the best tour, but as we headed towards Kaneohe, thick clouds quickly covered the sky. My mood dropped, but our energetic guide Yukiko cheered me up, reminding me that such days happen. We boarded the boat and set off on the cruise. We took photos with Chinaman's Hat and the Ko'olau Mountains in the background, and we were able to spot many sea turtles at the turtle spot. Just as Yukiko announced, "We're almost at the sandbar!" I suddenly noticed that the thick clouds had disappeared, and it was completely sunny with the sparkling sandbar in sight. I was so excited that I was jumping around more than my child (laughs).
Since it was close to low tide, the water was only about ankle-deep, which was perfect for my child to splash around and play. We were able to spend an unforgettable time as a family. The local staff were friendly and great, and even though it was a 2-hour cruise, it was very fulfilling. We returned to Waikiki in time for my daughter's nap, so I think this plan is highly recommended for families with small children! I wasn't able to take good photos when it was sunny, so I plan to join again next time I go to Hawaii for a little revenge (laughs)!
早朝プランに申し込みました。2歳の娘と主人と3人でずっと行きたかった念願のサンドバーに行くことができました。
ピックアップしていただいたワイキキは晴天!これは最高のツアーになるな、と思っていたのもつかの-間バスでカネオヘに向かう山に入る間にみるみる厚い雲に覆われていきました。すっかり気分は落ち込んだのですが、元気印のようなガイドのユキコさんから元気をもらってそんな日もあるかと気を取り直してボートに乗り込みいざクルーズへ。チャイナマンズハットやコオラウ山脈をバックに写真撮影をしてもらい、ウミガメスポットでたくさんのウミガメを発見できました。もうすぐサンドバーでーす!のユキコさんの案内でふと見ると厚い雲はどこへやら、すっかり晴天になりキラキラ輝くサンドバーがあるではありませんか。感激して子供以上にはしゃいでしまいました(笑)
干潮に近い時間だったので水深も足首くらいだったのでちょうど子供がぱしゃぱしゃ遊ぶことができ、家族で忘れられない時間を過ごすことができました。
ローカルのスタッフもフレンドリーでいい感じで、2時間のクルーズでしたがとっても充実していました。お昼にはワイキキに戻れるので娘のお昼寝にも間に合ったし小さい子供連れにもおすすめできるプランだと思います!
晴れているときの写真がうまく撮れなかったのでリベンジもかねて(笑)また次ハワイに行く時も絶対参加します!!

I chose to participate on the day with the lowest tide during my stay. The timing was close to low tide for this tour, so I joined. On this day, there were two buses filled with only Japanese participants. However, the staff handled everything efficiently, so the movement was smooth.
After everyone saw the honu (sea turtles), we headed to the sandbar. The wind was strong, and the water was cold!! Everyone was shivering. But I was so happy to see the sandbar, which I had been looking forward to the most since before the trip.
It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the staff's explanations were easy to understand, so I could see well underwater! However, I realized that you can't snorkel if you can't swim... Still, I was satisfied to have experienced it a little.
After getting back on the boat, I enjoyed the sandwiches and tea that were prepared. Since I was cold, the food was a welcome treat!
On the day I participated, most of the attendees were couples, but there were also families and groups of friends who seemed to be having a great time.
滞在中でいちばん干潮になる日を選んで参加しました。時間帯が、こちらのツアーが干潮時に近かったので参加しました。 この日は日本人だけでバス2台でした。でもスタッフの方が手際よく対応されていたので移動などはスムーズでした。
みんなでホヌ(ウミガメ)を見たあとはサンドバーへ。風が強く、海の中は寒かった!!みんな震えてました。でも旅行前から一番楽しみにしていたサンドバーが見れてうれしかったです。
私はシュノーケル初体験でしたが、スタッフの方の説明がわかりやすかったので、ちゃんと海の中が見えました!でも泳げないとシュノーケルってできないんですね…。それでも少し体験できて満足です。
船にあがった後は、準備されているサンドイッチと紅茶をいただきました。身体が冷えていたので、食べ物うれしい!

The pickup was the very first thing. We visited several hotels and got on the highway, taking just under an hour for a restroom break (I’m not sure of the exact location, but it was very close to Heia Boat Harbor).
We joined up with another bus and boarded the boat.
The weather was fantastic and calm, which was great, but unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any natural turtles. We all looked for them, but we didn’t find any. However, we did see a turtle at the sandbar. It was very friendly and would come close when we approached, but the guide warned us that if we put our hands down, it might bite, so we ran away with the kids (laughs).
The sandbar was unfortunately only about knee-deep, but it was very beautiful. It was a bit cold, probably because it was mid-May. Everyone was saying it was cold and seemed to be splashing around in the sea like they were in a bath. Plus, we had to walk from where the boat could go to the shallow area, and there were surprisingly many rocks and stones, so I had to carry my child because their feet hurt.
I also participated in snorkeling, but it was in a pretty deep area where I couldn’t reach the bottom, so I went alone, leaving my family behind. There were a lot of fish, but it was too deep to see the corals up close. It was just a back-and-forth splash, and honestly, it was boring. It would have been fun if there was a circular course to explore...
The barbecue was really delicious. Also, the donuts we had before going into the sea were hot and amazing.
On the way back, the bus had towels laid out and the air conditioning was turned off. It was very kind of them to allow us to stay wet. Everyone was exhausted, so we arrived quickly.
All the staff were cheerful and it was fun. It was reassuring to be surrounded by Japanese people.
I definitely want to participate again next time. Hopefully, during a warmer season...
ピックアップは一番最初でした。数ヶ所ホテルをまわり高速に乗って1時間弱でトイレ休憩(場所はわかりませんが、へエイア・ボート・ハーバーのすぐ近くでした)
他のバスと合流して、ボートに乗りました。
とても天気がよく穏やかな日で最高でしたが、残念ながら天然のカメさんには出会えませんでした。みんなで探したのですが出会えませんでした。サンドバーにいたカメさんには出会えました。すごく人になついていて近くに行くと寄ってきますが、手を下にするとかまれるよってガイドさんに言われたので子供と逃げました(笑)
サンドバーは残念ながら膝下くらいでしたが、とてもキレイでした。ただ5月中旬だったからか寒かったです。みんな寒い寒いってお風呂に入っているみたいに海につかっていました。しかも船がいける所から浅瀬まで歩くのですが、意外と岩や石が多く、子供は足が痛いって抱っこして行きました。
シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、足が届かないかなり深い場所だったので家族をおいて1人で参加。お魚はたくさんいたのですがあまりにも深い場所でサンゴが近くでは見れませんでした。しかもただバシャバシャ行って帰ってくるだけの往復。正直、つまらなかったです。ぐるっと回るような周回コースがあれば楽しいのに・・・。
バーベキューはとってもおいしかったです。あと海に入る前にいただいたドーナツもアツアツで最高でした。
帰りのバスにはちゃんとタオルも敷いてあって冷房も切ってありました。濡れたままでOKでとても親切。みんなぐったりしてたのですぐにつきました。
スタッフの人達はみな明るくて楽しかったです。
日本人ばかりで安心です。
次回も是非参加したいです。今度は暖かい時に・・・。

I participated with my husband and our 4-year-old and 0-year-old children.
I had many worries about bringing a baby, but I was truly moved by the beauty of the ocean. The water was cold, and we returned to the boat once, but since we had come all this way and the sky and sea were so beautiful, I thought it would be a waste to just watch from the boat. So, I held the baby and went into the water, which was waist-deep. However, in the shallows, it was only knee-deep.
I had heard that we couldn't use a stroller, so my husband and I took turns holding the baby. Fortunately, the baby didn't cry, which was a relief.
The BBQ burgers on the boat were delicious. While enjoying the beautiful ocean view, we ate hamburgers and listened to a lot of Hawaiian music, making it a relaxing day.
We couldn't go snorkeling, but we were able to see a turtle popping its head out of the water from the boat.
Since the boat was full, I thought it was a bit cramped for us with all our luggage.

赤ちゃん連れで心配な事もたくさんありましたが本当に海のキレイさに感動しました。海が冷たくて一度船に戻りましたが、せっかく来たしこんなに空と海がキレイなのに、船からみてるのはもったいないと思い赤ちゃんを抱っこして腰までの深さの海に入りました。でも浅瀬へ行くと膝ぐらいの深さでした
ベビーカーは使えないと聞いてたのでずっと旦那さんと赤ちゃんを交代で抱っこしてました

I wanted to join the recommended plan, but due to scheduling conflicts with other tours, I participated in the early morning plan.
The Japanese guide (a woman) kept the atmosphere lively with jokes and provided clear instructions at the sea turtle viewing points. I was able to see many more sea turtles than I had expected, and I even spotted baby turtles.
After the sea turtle viewing, we moved to the sandbar. The weather was nice, but the seawater was cold... (though it was fine once I got used to it). The scenery was just as beautiful as I had seen in photos!
After that, we went snorkeling, but contrary to my expectations, the visibility wasn't very good, and I felt like I hardly saw any fish. Additionally, the water was quite deep, and the current seemed relatively fast, so I recommend that those who are not experienced with snorkeling definitely use the floatation devices provided by the staff. (As a beginner, I found it tough without one.)
Overall, I think the tour is enjoyable, with all the staff being friendly and cheerful.

It was disappointing that the sandbar wasn't fully exposed since we participated close to high tide. However, the water level was about knee-deep, so we had fun playing volleyball with other participants.
The subsequent turtle watching from the boat and snorkeling at the coral reef were also great. Even without scuba diving, we were able to interact with tropical fish.
満潮に近い時間帯での参加だったのでサンドバーが完全には露出していなかったのが残念です。でも、水位は膝下くらいなので、アクティビティ参加者同士で、バレーボールをして楽しめました。

I participated in September of the year before last. The sandbar was very beautiful. There was a lot of lunch prepared, but it was disappointing that when our turn came, the staff hurried us to "please get into the water quickly," so we couldn't eat much.
I thought the water temperature would be low, so I brought a wetsuit top from Japan. Since I was wearing this, I didn't feel too cold, but most of the other participants were in swimsuits or rash guards and were shivering after getting back on the boat. Many people got cold, and the number of participants for the second snorkeling session significantly decreased. I thought it would be nice if they provided wetsuits given the water temperature.
I think it would be fine during warmer periods, but in the fall, it's a good idea to prepare for the cold. I'm glad we used a tour since it's a place we couldn't go to on our own.
参加したのは一昨年の9月です。
サンドバーとってもきれいでした。
ランチもたくさん用意されていましたが、自分たちの順番が回ってきて「早く海に入ってください」とスタッフに急かされあまり食べられなかったのが残念でした。
水温は低いだろうと思って日本からウエットスーツ素材の上着を持参しました。
これを着ていたので寒さはあまり感じませんでしたが、他の参加者はほとんどの方が水着やラッシュだったのでボートに上がってから震えていました。
体が冷えてしまった人が多くて、2度目のシュノーケリングは参加者が激減。
あの水温だったらウエットスーツを貸してくれたらいいのになと思いました。
水温が高い時期なら問題ないと思いますが、秋だと寒さ対策をしておくといいと思います。
自分たちだけでは行けないところなのでツアーを利用してよかったです。
Thank you for using our services.
We appreciate that you enjoyed the sandbar and snorkeling.
We apologize for not being able to provide you with a satisfying lunch experience. Your valuable feedback will be shared with the operating company.
Regarding wetsuits, depending on the season, we always have them available on board during the colder months (winter), so please feel free to ask our staff for a complimentary rental.
During warmer months, we do not keep them on board, but if you let us know in advance, we will prepare them for you to use on the day of your visit.

Snorkeling is not enjoyable; you can only look at a few corals, and it's a bit tough without fins. The lunch on the boat was just okay.
シュノ−ケリングは楽しめません、わずかなサンゴを眺めるだけ、フィンなしでは少々辛い。船上のランチは、まあまあかな。
Thank you for using our services.
Please understand that the types and numbers of fish you can observe may vary depending on the day. Also, please note that we do not provide fins.

It was a little cold, but I was very satisfied because I could see a beautiful ocean and got close enough to touch a sea turtle! It’s not cold once you’re in the water, but the wind on the boat after getting out of the sea is chilly, so I think it’s a good idea to have one piece of warm clothing.
I’m thinking I want to go again!
ちょっとだけ寒かったけど、とってもきれいな海が見れ、ウミガメにも手で触れる距離くらい近く接近できたので満足です!
海の中に入れば寒くないのですが、海から上がったあとの船上で受ける風が寒いので、防寒具は1枚あったほうがいいと思います。
また行きたいなーと思っています!

It seems that the weather around the sandbar can be unstable. When I participated, it was sunny and about 28 degrees in Waikiki, but Kaneohe Bay was cloudy with some rain. However, I was able to see the sandbar, so it was still a lot of fun.
Advice for those participating:
It's better to prepare for the cold!!
(Check the weather in Kaneohe Bay on the day, not Waikiki.)
If you have long-sleeved swimwear for surfing, and a jacket and something like sweatpants to wear after getting out of the water, you won't feel cold. (The guide was wearing a windbreaker...)
If the weather is clear, it's the best. The burgers for lunch are delicious!
サンドバーのあたりは、天候が不安定みたいです。
参加した時も、ワイキキは、晴天28度くらいだったけど、カネオヘ湾は、曇って雨もパラついていました。でも、サンドバーはみれたので、やっぱり楽しかったです。
参加される方へのアドバイス:
寒さ対策あったほうがいいです!!
(ワイキキではなく、当日のカネオヘ湾の天気チェックしてください。)
サーフィン用などの、長袖水着とか、海から上がったあと、上着と、下にはくジャージの様な物もあれば、寒くないです。(ガイドさんは、ウインドブレーカーきてました・・)
天気晴れたら、最高です。お昼のバーガーおいしいです~!

I participated in the early morning plan, and although my stay was only about two hours, I was very satisfied. It was a lucky day as the sandbar was completely exposed due to low tide! I also got to see a rainbow and even a sea turtle, which was amazing! If you're going to the beach, I recommend this place over Hanauma Bay! However, there might be fewer types of fish for snorkeling. The staff were also very friendly, making it fun and taking photos for us.
早朝プランに参加させていただき、滞在時間は2時間ほどですがとても満足できました。
参加当日は引き潮で完全にサンドバーが現れているラッキーな日でした!
虹も見れて、ウミガメもちょっとだけど見れて最高!!
海に行くならハナウマ湾よりこっちがオススメです!ただ、
シュノーケルの魚は種類が少ないかも…。
スタッフの皆さんも楽しく盛り上げてくれたり、写真撮ってくれたりとても親切でした。

The guidance to the boat dock was very enjoyable thanks to the driver's stories. Once we arrived at the location, the staff on the boat were cheerful, and we encountered sea turtles four times. It was truly moving to meet them at such a close distance that we could reach out and touch them. The sandwiches on the boat were also very delicious. I definitely want to participate again next time.
ボート乗り場までの案内は、運転手さんの話がとても楽しかったです。
現地に着いてからボートの中でも、スタッフさんが明るく、ウミガメにも4回遭遇出来ました。
手を伸ばせば触れる距離で出会えたのはとても感激でした。
ボートの上でのサンドイッチもとてもおいしかったです。
次回もぜひ参加したいです。

Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heaven on the Sea Tour.
Unfortunately, the weather was not favorable on the day of the tour, and I believe you may have felt a bit disappointed. I sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced due to the cold and for the wait while boarding the bus.
Since this is a tour that involves nature, there are days like this. However, it is during unfavorable weather that we strive to provide more attentive care and service, and I regularly instruct our staff on this. I am truly sorry to hear that you felt otherwise.
We take your valuable feedback seriously and will work towards improving our tours in the future. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us despite your busy schedule.

当日は残念ながら天候に恵まれず、ちょっぴりがっかりされていらっしゃったと思いますのにその上ツアーの際に寒さを感じられたり、バスの乗車をお待たせしまして本当に申し訳ありませんでした。
自然を相手のツアーですので、このようなツアーの日もございます。
でも、天候の優れないときこそ、よりきめ細やかな心配り、サービスをさせていただくよ
常日頃スタッフに指導しておりますが、このようにお感じなられたことは大変遺憾に思っております。
