Condado de Honolulu Snorkeling

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.

I had a great time as a boat rider! The captain and her assistant were accommodating while we all waited for those in the cage. I'll be back next time with family and friends and be in the cage. 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.

Nos llevaron a un bote pequeño (podría ser más grande para que no se moviera tanto) y nos dirigimos mar adentro. Deseé que me hubieran ofrecido una máscara de snorkel con graduación (otras compañías de tours la ofrecían). Los tiburones se acercaron bastante en un momento, pero fue breve. Me hubiera gustado ver más tiburones, pero eso no es algo que ellos pudieran controlar.

Chris, Adam, and Allison were great! Saw 5 turtles in the same spot and got to swim with a pod of dolphins. Highly recommend!

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!
