ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

Beware if you get seasick! 船に酔う人は注意！

Reviewed by: 楽しかった！

In late February, the weather was mostly cloudy, and the waves were strong, which might not have been the best season. However, when the sun occasionally peeked out, the color of the sea transformed into a vibrant blue. While others were riding underwater scooters, I often saw sea turtles swimming near the surface, occasionally popping up to look at us. I felt like the encounter rate was similar to seeing pigeons in Tokyo. When I rode the underwater scooter, there were plenty of fish, and I spotted several sea turtles swimming along the seabed.

Among the crowd, which included families, couples, and groups of girls, I participated in a company trip with only women. I was the only man, but thanks to a friendly staff member who was a fourth-generation Japanese American, I felt less out of place as he occasionally struck up conversations with me.

Those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. While the boat is moving, the swaying from the waves isn't too bad, but waiting on a stationary boat can make you feel queasy. You might also feel nauseous while riding the underwater scooter. Additionally, while the scooter is fine in shallow waters, just diving a little deeper can cause severe ear pain from the water pressure, which can worsen your seasickness. I experienced mild seasickness without showing it, but I saw some people who were completely out of it, clinging to the back of the boat and making multiple trips back and forth.

Overall, the courses "Hawaii Underwater Scooter BOB - Seabob Seafloor Walk & Snorkel Cruise" (the cheaper option) and "Underwater Scooter & Hawaii Kai Sandbar Half-Day Tour with Shuttle - Enjoy Snorkeling & Stand-Up Paddleboarding!" (the more expensive option) share the same departure and return points for the scooters. Participants in the more expensive option finish their scooter ride first and switch to a high-speed boat to go to another location for stand-up paddleboarding. Meanwhile, those on the cheaper option take turns finishing their scooter rides, but the waiting time can lead to seasickness. Even after everyone on the cheaper option has finished, they have to wait until the participants from the more expensive option return, which must have felt like hell for those who got seasick.

Participants in the more expensive option, who seemed a bit queasy at first, returned to the boat looking fine. I think they recovered while playing on the high-speed boat and stand-up paddleboard. Therefore, I recommend that anyone who might feel even slightly nauseous choose the more expensive option that includes stand-up paddleboarding at the sandbar. I opted for the cheaper option because I had another activity in the afternoon and wanted to return as soon as possible, but I ended up returning to the port at the same time as those on the more expensive option.

You can rent a short-sleeved wetsuit. It's fine if you don't wear one, and you can also bring your own. Even though it was the last part of winter in February, the water only felt cold for a moment when I first entered.

Photos and videos are available for purchase: individual photos are $20 each, videos are $20, and a set is $30. I received 13 photos of myself and two additional photos of sea turtles that were likely taken separately.

2月後半で曇りがち、波も強くて時期的にはあまり良い季節ではなかった
のかもしれませんが、時折太陽が顔を出すと海の色が鮮やかなブルーに変りました。
他の人が水中スクーターに乗ってる間も、船上では水面を泳ぐウミガメが横切り、船の近くで時折顔を出してはこちらを見ているのを何度も見ることが出来ました。
東京で鳩見かけるぐらいの遭遇率ではないかと思って見ていました。
また水中スクーターで潜ると、魚はたくさんいますし、海底をウミガメが数匹泳いでいました。

家族連れ、夫婦、カップル、女の子同士のグループみたいな人ばかなりの中、女性ばかりとの社員旅行で現地自由行動、これには男1人での参加だったですが、日系4世のスタッフの気さくなおじさんが時折話しかけてくれたお陰で浮いてる感が紛れました。

酔う人は注意が必要です。
船が走っている間は、波で大きく揺れてもあまり酔いません。
停まった船で待ってる間が酔います。
水中スクーターに乗ってる時も酔うかもしれません。
さらにスクーターは浅いところを潜っているうちは大丈夫ですが、
ほんの少しさらに深く潜っただけで水圧で耳に激痛がきます。
これがまた酔いの体調を悪くします。
私も表に出さないでいられる程度では軽く船酔いしていましたが、
リバースはここで言われる船尾に張り付いたり、何度も往復して完全に死んでる人達もいました。

全体の流れとして、本コース「ハワイ 水中スクーターBOB - シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケルクルーズ」(値段安い方)と「水中スクーター＆ハワイカイサンドバー　半日送迎付きツアー　シュノーケリング＆スタンドアップパドルボートも楽しめる！」(値段高い方)は、スクーターに乗る場所までと帰港は一緒になります。
値段高い方の参加者が先にスクーターを終え、高速ボートに乗り換えて別な場所にスタンドアップボードなどをしに行きます。
安い方の人はその間、順番にスクーターを終えていくのですが、その待ち時間が酔います。
さらに安い方の人が全員スクーターを終えても、高い値段の方の人が戻って来るまでそのまま待たされます。
船酔いした人には地獄の時間だったと思います。

値段高い方の人は最初に少し酔ってた風な人も、ケロッとして船に戻ってきました。
高速ボートや立ちボートで遊んでいる間に回復したんだと思います。
ですので、少しでも酔うかもしれない不安のある人は、サンドバーでの
スタンドアップボートなどがセットになった値段の高い方を選択した方が良いと思います。
午後から別なアクティビティがあったので、少しでも早く帰れる方をと安い方を選択したのですが、高速ボートから船に戻ってきた高い値段の方の人と一緒に帰港しますので最終的にかかる時間は同じです。

ウレタンの半袖スウェットスーツが借りられます。
着ないでもOKです。自前でもOKです。
2月の冬最終期ですが水が冷たく感じたのは入った瞬間だけです。

撮ってくれる写真や動画はバラだと写真20ドル、動画20ドル、
セットなら30ドルでした。
写真は自分を13枚と、別で撮ったであろうウミガメ写真2枚付けてくれていました。

Great alternative to full scuba diving

Reviewed by: Lewis W

As a qualified PADI, I found this activity to be a great alternative to full on scuba diving. With the submarine scooter you are able to sit back and enjoy the amazing underwater world.

The Bobs team were very organised and made the whole experience enjoyable and welcoming. I would highly recommend this to those afraid of discovery scuba diving. The team also take great pictures and videos for you.

I love the ocean and often go diving and snorkeling, but this was my first experience with sea bob. It was more casual than diving, and I was able to enjoy views that I couldn't see while snorkeling. During the middle of the dive, I fed the fish, and it was the first time I was surrounded by so many fish! Haha (o^^o)♪♪ I also got to see a sea turtle up close, and I had an incredibly fulfilling time. Thank you to the staff. I will definitely visit again! ♡

Originally I was very scared as I don't like to put my head under the water. I signed up just because my grown up daughter wanted to try that. I was a bit out of breath at the beginning as I dived in to the helmet, but soon as I calmed down, it was incredible. I was even able to touch the gorgeous big turtle. But I was able to have this great experience only thanks to my assigned diver, who directed me so well. So thank you ever so much xx

Be careful of seasickness! 船酔いに注意です！

Reviewed by: KAnaKo

I heard that the waves are calmest in the morning, so I joined the first tour of the day. There were about 15 of us, and we went into the water in groups of 2 to 3 at a time. While you're diving, you don't feel much, but the waiting time on the boat can make you feel seasick (the waiting time is quite long). I recommend not having breakfast before participating. (It's better to take seasickness medication beforehand.) Some women ended up not riding the sea bob due to seasickness.

Also, the staff will take photos for you. The cost for the photo data and tips is not included in the participation fee, so I recommend bringing cash. (Tips are about $10 to $20 per person.)

波が一番穏やかと聞いたので、朝一番のツアーに参加しました。全員で１５名程で、一度に２～３名で海に潜ります。潜っている間はあまり感じませんが、待ち時間は船上のため酔います。（待ち時間が結構長いです。）朝食は取らずに参加されることをおすすめします。（酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いです。）数名の女性は船酔いのせいで、結局シーボブに乗られなかった方もいました。
また、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれます。写真のデータ代とチップの費用は参加費には含まれていないので、現金を持参される事をおすすめします。（チップは１人１０～２０ドルぐらいです）

Divers friendly but little instruction or guidance given. Lot of waiting around and too many people on boat for number of scooters and divers, reduce sizes for more enjoyable experience. Also suggest providing one digital photo in price of ticket at least as waste if going to effort of taking them if not emailing to parties. Expect to wait around both at office, on shuttle and boat.

There are a lot of fish. 魚がいっぱーい

Reviewed by: ハワイナンバーワン‼️

Riding the underwater scooter, there was fish food attached. It was so much fun as fish came right in front of me to eat the food, and they even splashed around. Since it was mid-November, it was cold when I got out of the water. I draped a bath towel over my shoulders to keep warm. Still, I was able to go snorkeling again, and since I brought food with me, the fish came close, which was interesting. If I were to be picky, I wish there had been more colorful fish.

水中スクーターに乗ると魚の餌が取り付けてありました。目の前に魚がいっぱい餌を食べに来て手を叩いたりしてくれるのでとても楽しかったです。
11月の中旬だったので海から出てくると寒かったです。肩からバスタオルを掛けて寒さを防ぎました。
それでもシュノーケリングをさせてもらえたので再び海の中へ。餌を持って入れたので魚が寄って来てくれるので面白かったです。贅沢を言えばカラフルな魚がいてくれれば良かったかなぁと思いました。

I was captivated by the incredibly beautiful sea and decided to participate for the second time. Compared to last year, the experience has leveled up, with Japanese-speaking staff available. There were more underwater scooters, allowing several people to ride at once, and wet suits were provided for cold weather protection. The staff were very kind and took great care of us, even holding our hands underwater. However, when riding the scooter, my hair got wet, and the resulting photos made me look a bit different, but since they are great memories, I decided to purchase them. If possible, I would love to try again for a third time!

The view underwater was incredibly beautiful! Even from the boat, the water was so clear, and I could see fish and turtles. The instructors were all very entertaining, and it was a lot of fun! However, my most bitter memory was getting seasick. Perhaps it was because the waves were high on the day I participated, but even taking motion sickness medication had no effect at all. I was down for about a third of the time. I recommend getting plenty of sleep and participating in a good condition.

海の中に入るとすごくキレイな景色でした！
船の上から見ても水中がすごく透き通っていて、魚も亀も見れました。
インストラクターさんも皆さんとても面白い方ばかりで、楽しかったです！
が…、一番の苦い思い出が船酔い。参加した日が波が高かったからか、酔い止めを飲んでもまったく効果がないほど。
1/3はダウンしていました。十分に睡眠を取り、快調な状態での参加をお勧めします。

I participated on October 16. I understand that the visibility in the water was not as good as I had expected and that there weren't many fish, which I attribute to the season and weather. However, during the underwater photography session, I had a very painful experience because I had to force my family of four together, and my hands and feet got caught in the scooter. Furthermore, despite paying $75 for the photos and videos, I am very disappointed that they have not yet been sent to me.

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Sandra McCarthy

Our group of four "seniors" wanted to experience this unique water activity during our visit to Oahu. The underwater scooter adventure exceeded our expectations. The entire team from Bob's was very helpful to all of us onboard. They did a great job of communicating to not only those of us from the U.S. but were able to converse with the customers who were from Japan and needed communications in their native language.

We had been given appropriate safety briefings before heading out to the dive site. The outdoor temperature in mid October was in the mid 80s so not uncomfortable. The water temperature was a reasonable 75+ but we adapted to it as soon as we got into the water on the scooters.

The divers gave us appropriate underwater instructions to get us going and to set up the underwater photos for each person. We did have unusual trade winds that caused some bouncing and rolling in the boat but once in the water on the scooter or when snorkeling, it was mitigated. The water was clear and we had a variety of fish that swarmed around us as they were feeding on the food that the divers attached to the scooters. A unique feeling to have all of these colorful fish surrounding you in their environment.

We also had the opportunity to see a number of sea turtles both under water and coming to the surface. It would have been great to have had more time actually underwater but we only could accommodate 2 - 3 people underwater at one time. It probably would have been more enjoyable from the customer perspective with a few less onboard the boat.

Our group did take the opportunity to do some snorkeling after we completed our time on the underwater scooters. All in all a great time to remember and yes we did buy the photos especially for the video that was offered as well.

We have not been able to access our photos yet as we are still on vacation and will need to do so when we get home. Hopefully, they will be as delightful to watch as what we experienced

We used this for our honeymoon trip. After arriving at our destination by car, we switched to a boat and set off. It was a small boat that could only hold about 20 people, and it was fine at first when we were moving, but once we reached the open sea, the engine was turned off, and we had to get into the water two at a time on scooters. The waiting part was hell. We had to wait on a boat that was constantly rocking until it was our turn. Since it was a smaller boat, it really swayed. We forgot to take motion sickness medication, so we felt pretty nauseous. However, while we were on the scooters, we didn't feel the rocking, so it was super fun!! Lots of fish came close, and we even saw sea turtles! They took pictures with an underwater camera, which made for great memories. However, since we had to duck our heads underwater to get on the scooters, our faces and hair ended up completely soaked... I wish we could have taken some photos without getting wet. The boat ride was hell, but the underwater scooters were a blast! I definitely recommend that anyone using this service take precautions against seasickness.

新婚旅行で利用しました。
車で目的地に着いてから、船に乗り換えていざ出発。20人くらいしか乗れないボートのような船で、最初は走っているのでまだよかったんですが、沖に着くとエンジンを停めた状態で2人ずつスクーターに乗って海に入ります。待ってる側はここからが地獄。自分の番が来るまでひたすら波に揺れる船で待ち続けます。小さめな船なのでまあ揺れます。私たちは酔い止めを飲むのも忘れたので気持ち悪くてしょうがない。でもスクーターに乗ってる間は揺れないので、めっちゃ楽しかったです！！魚もたくさん寄ってきますし、海ガメも見れました！水中カメラで様子を撮影してくれるので、思い出に残る写真になりました。ただ、水中で頭をくぐらせてスクーターに乗るので、顔・髪はびしょ濡れ。。。できれば濡れてない写真を撮りたかったなぁとは思います。船は地獄でしたが、水中スクーターは楽しかったです！利用される方はぜひ船酔い対策をしていくことをおすすめします。

Our adventure began with introductions of the captain and his awesome crew. They made sure we knew all the safety procedures and explained all of the gear. We arrived to the spot and the crew jumped into their gear and were ready to go. We had time before our turn so we went snorkeling. The water was so clear! I spotted a turtle right away. We finished snorkeling and then saw another turtle on top of the water. Now it was our turn to go below on the snooba scooter. Each scooter was assigned their own diver. My diver communicated with me the whole time. When it came time to dive, he made sure I knew how to clear the pressure in my ears. Then we shook a metal mesh bag with bread balls in it and it was like we had rung a dinner bell for the fish! They flocked to us and nibbled the bread and sometimes your fingers! It was breathtaking and so exciting! I couldn't stop smiling! The photographer got some wonderful shots of us and the price was so reasonable. As our adventure came to an end, we were heading to the surface when a juvenile turtle came swimming by. I would highly recommend this adventure to everyone. Definitely one not to be missed!

I participated with a friend. It took about 40 minutes from the meeting point to the boat dock. Upon arrival, we watched an explanation DVD (in Japanese) and boarded the boat. There was a female staff member who was a fourth-generation Japanese American and spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease.

The sea was quite rough with strong winds, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. There were about 30 participants, and although the waiting time was long, I didn't mind too much as I could see turtles swimming and enjoy the scenery. We waited while eating snacks that were like small bags of potato chips and drinking water.

It was late August, but it felt quite cold. Especially after diving, everyone was shivering, so I think it would be good to have something to wrap around you or a towel for your lower body. Some people brought waterproof cases for their smartphones to dive with, but the staff also took photos and videos. The photos cost $15 per person, and purchasing the videos costs a bit more, but the photos were sent to the email address I provided later. I was satisfied with how they turned out.

When entering and exiting the helmet part, you have to submerge your head, so it might be scary for those who are not comfortable putting their face in the water. I was wearing contact lenses, so I closed my eyes while going in and out. The glass part is telescopic, so I was told to take off my glasses, and my friend did so.

The time spent underwater flew by, but the instructor was with us one-on-one, so I was able to enjoy the underwater walk with peace of mind!

30人くらい参加者がいて、待ち時間が長かったですが、泳いでいる亀の姿が見えたり、景色を楽しんだりしていたので、それほど気になりませんでした。小さな袋に入ったポテチのようなお菓子を食べながら、お水を飲みながら待ちました。
8月の後半でしたが、かなり寒く感じました。特に潜った後はみなさんガタガタ震えていたので、羽織るものや下半身に巻くタオルなどがあった方がよいかと思います。
防水ケースにスマホを入れて潜る方もいらっしゃいましたが、スタッフの方が写真も動画も撮ってくれます。写真は一人15ドル、動画も購入するともう少しかかりますが、後日申告したメールアドレスに写真が送られてきました。写りもよかったので満足しています。
ヘルメット？の部分に入る時と出る時は、頭まで潜らないとダメなので、顔をつけるのが苦手な方は怖いかもしれません。私はコンタクトをしていたので、目をつぶって出入りしました。ガラスの部分が望遠になっているので、メガネは外してくださいと言われ友達はメガネを外していました。
海中にいる時間はあっという間でしたが、インストラクターさんが一対一でついてくださるので、安心して水中散歩を楽しめました！

The hotel transfer and the captain's Japanese were a bit uncertain, but there aren't any complicated procedures, so you can rest assured. This person, despite their shaky Japanese, occasionally throws in jokes, which can make understanding a bit tricky (laughs).

On the day of the trip, it was quite windy, and my entire family got seasick. They asked us to please vomit at the back of the boat.

The underwater scooter is always held by a diver at the back, so it's reassuring. The first four people won't get wet above the face while riding the bike, but you will definitely get wet when getting off.

The underwater scenery is quite beautiful and full of fish. You can get bread to put in the net, and when you do, the fish come rushing over. A turtle was swimming nearby too!

Snacks were all-you-can-eat, but a South American family was stuffing their bags with them.

After the underwater bike ride, I didn't have the energy to enjoy snorkeling and was completely exhausted on the deck... I was thinking, "Please get me back to land quickly." Everyone else seemed to be having fun... how nice!

They take photos and videos underwater, and you can check them on a computer when you return to the office. If you like them, you can purchase the photos and videos for US$75 in an upload site format. They are very well taken, so I think it's worth buying. You can pay in cash on the spot or wait to pay at the hotel after the transfer.

The staff had slightly fewer smiles, which made me a bit anxious, but I felt they were doing their best while considering safety.

ホテル送迎&船長の方の日本語が微妙で不安でしたが実際にはそんなに難しい手順は無いのでご安心ください。
この方、日本語微妙なくせにたまにジョーク入れるので理解を難しくさせてくれます(笑)

当日はかなり風が強くて我が家族は全員船酔いになりました。吐く方は船の後方でお願いします。
とのことです。

水中スクータは常にダイバーの方が後方で掴んでいてくれるので安心です。
最初の４名までバイク搭乗時に顔から上が濡れませんが、下車時に必ず濡れます。

水中はかなり綺麗で魚だらけです。網に入ったパンをもらえるのでてでモフモフすると魚たちがワーっと寄ってきます。カメさんも近くを泳いでいました！

スナックは食べ放題でしたが、南米系(?)の家族がドンドン自分のBAGに詰め込んでました。

水中バイク後のシュノーケリングを楽しむ余裕はなく、甲板でグッタリしてました。。。
は、早く陸地に返して〜という思いでした。
皆さんは楽しいでらっしゃいました。。。いいなー

水中で写真や動画を撮影してくれているのでオフィスに戻ってパソコンで確認させてくれます。
気に入ったらUS$75で写真も動画もアップロードサイト形式にて購入できます。
非常によく撮れているので購入した方が良いと思います。
代金はキャッシュでその場で支払うか、送迎後にホテルで待っててもらって支払うこともできます。

スタッフの方々はすこーし笑顔が少ないので不安になりますが、皆さんなりに安全面も考慮して一生懸命やられていると感じましたよ。

ハワイ水中スクーター　泳げなくてもOK！シーボブで海底散歩＆シュノーケリングクルーズ

The long-awaited underwater scooter. 念願の水中スクーター

Reviewed by: ほーちゃん

Since my child turned 10, we decided to try the underwater scooter that we couldn't do last year! We read plenty of experiences beforehand, and we were prepared with motion sickness medication and cold weather gear! Although there were no Japanese-speaking staff, the person who welcomed us and took photos was very polite. The other staff members were also attentive, and honestly, it was the best experience I've had among various tours.

Before boarding the boat, we received instructions on how to use the scooter and signed some documents. We were supposed to watch a video, but it seemed to be skipped due to a late-arriving group. The boat could hold about 25 people and did not have a restroom.

Once we arrived at the spot, we quickly spotted sea turtles swimming around!

We experienced the underwater scooter in pairs, then groups of three, and finally four. Since there were three of us, we were in the middle group. We were told we could snorkel freely while waiting, but we decided to wait on the boat until after our turn with the underwater scooter.

The boat rocked quite a bit. It would have been tough without taking motion sickness medication (laughs).

For the underwater scooter, we started with two scooters, going one by one, creating a time gap. When it was our turn, we had three scooters, and I went down first, followed by my child and then my husband. When my child came up, they took a photo of the two of them, and after my husband joined, they took photos and videos of the three of us. After I came up first, they also took pictures of my child and husband. They even used my handheld camera to take some shots!

Underwater, it was as beautiful as I imagined. The round helmet created a strange view, but various fish gathered around the food, allowing us to enjoy watching them up close, while sea turtles swam above us in a mystical world. The 20 minutes flew by. Snorkeling was also fun, as we spotted sea turtles!

When getting on and off the scooter, you have to dive into the sea, so your face gets wet! Also, the staff gives instructions on how to operate the scooter, so it's manageable even for children.

After everyone finished, we returned to the building where we received the initial briefing to check the photos and videos by group. If we liked them, we could proceed to purchase. We could choose either just photos or a set of photos and videos, with prices varying by the number of people. We got the set for $60. Later, a URL was sent to my email for downloading. They advised downloading on a computer since the data size was large.

On the way back, we were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep (laughs).

Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time! It was enjoyable, but the waiting times were a bit tough, so I’m giving it one star less.

子供が10歳になったので去年出来なかった水中スクーターに挑戦！
事前に体験談をしっかり読み、酔い止めヨシ！寒さ対策ヨシ！
日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでしたが、お迎え＋写真撮影のお兄さんは、とても丁寧に対応してくれました。他のスタッフさんもキチンと対応してくれ、今まで色々なツアーに参加しましたが、正直、一番感じが良かったです。

船に乗る前にスクーターの乗り方の説明と書類に署名をしました。
ホントはビデオも見るようですが、遅れてきたグループがいたため省略したようです。
船はトイレなしの25人くらい乗れる船でした。
ポイントに到着すると、早くも海亀さんを発見！2、3匹泳いでました。

水中スクーターは2人組→3人組→4人組の順で体験しました。
うちは3人でしたので、真ん中くらい。
待ち時間は、自由にシュノーケルをしていいよ！と言われましたが、水中スクーターをやってからにしようと船で待つことにしました。

船はかなり揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでなかったらヤバかったかも（笑）。

水中スクーターは最初は2台で､1台ずつ潜っていくので時差ができ､上がって来たら次の人…という感じでした。
うちの順番のときに3台になり、私、子供、旦那の順に潜りました。
子供が潜って来たときに、ふたりの写真を撮ってくれ､旦那が合流して3人の写真や動画を撮り、先に私が上がった後、子供と旦那の写真も撮ってくれました。
あと、手持ちのカメラでも撮ってくれました！
水中は、想像通り綺麗でした。被るやつが丸いので不思議な見え方になりますが、
餌に色々なお魚が集まって来て、目の前でお魚を鑑賞し、頭上を海亀さんが泳いでいる神秘的な世界です。あっという間の20分間でした。
シュノーケルも海亀さんを見かけたり、楽しかったです。

水中スクーターは乗るときと降りるときに海に潜って頭を出し入れするので、顔が濡れます！あと、スクーターの操作は、スタッフさんが指示してくれるので子供でも大丈夫です。

全員終了後、最初に説明を受けた建物に戻り、写真と動画をグループごとに確認して、気に入ったら購入手続きへ｡写真のみか写真と動画のどちらか選べ、人数によって値段が異なりました。うちは、写真と動画のセットで＄60でした。
後日メールアドレスにURLが送られてきて、ダウンロードするやり方です。
データが大きいのでパソコンでダウンロードしてくれ！と言われました。

帰りの車では疲れて爆睡（笑）。

スタッフの皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました！
楽しかったのですが、待ち時間の波がきつかったので星マイナス１で。
