Honolulu Snorklaus

Minulla oli mahtava aika veneilijänä! Kapteeni ja hänen avustajansa olivat avuliaita, kun odotimme kaikki häkissä olevia. Palaan ensi kerralla perheen ja ystävien kanssa ja menen häkkiin. hehe

The day we went skydiving was right after Hawaii's strongest typhoon had passed. Although it looked sunny from the ground, once we took off, we realized the clouds were too thick for a safe landing. Our first attempt to take off wasn't successful, but we tried again shortly after and finally managed to have the experience. You need to hire a photographer separately, which costs about the same as another skydive, plus tips for both the instructor and the photographer. It's something to consider if you want a keepsake.

It's very convenient; the pier and check-in are right downstairs from the hotel. The submarine dive wasn't actually very deep, about 100 feet. The view of the fish on the left side that day wasn't as good as the right side, where someone reportedly saw a sea turtle.

Meidät ohjattiin pieneen veneeseen (voisi olla isompi, jotta matka olisi tasaisempi) ja lähdimme rannikolta. Olisin toivonut, että minulle olisi tarjottu vahvuuksilla varustettua snorkkelimaskia (muut matkanjärjestäjät tarjosivat). Hait tulivat melko lähelle jossain vaiheessa, mutta se oli lyhytaikaista. Olisin toivonut näkeväni enemmän haita, mutta se ei ole asia, jota he voisivat hallita.

Chris, Adam ja Allison olivat mahtavia! Näimme viisi kilpikonnaa samassa paikassa ja pääsimme uimaan delfiiniparven kanssa. Suosittelen lämpimästi!

The detailed explanation before the experience was very easy to understand. Having a Japanese guide also made me feel at ease participating! Everyone was friendly, and I had a fun experience. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, I was able to see many dolphins just by watching from the boat. In calmer waters, even those who aren't good at swimming could enter the water, use the slide, and touch coral that the guide retrieved. For lunch, we were served delicious sandwiches. You can also get photos taken by the guide in the ocean, though there is a fee! I'm looking forward to receiving them!
