Very professional. They made me feel safe and the interpreter was really helpful for fully understanding the instructions during the tour.
In general, the crew was well prepared and could have fun. In my opinion, each activity can take a longer time, as a separate tour.
Training
Positive
- Very professional. They made me feel safe and the interpreter was really helpful for fully understanding the instructions during the tour.
Negative
- It could have a short video instruction for the beginners.
Hike
Positive
- Very nice short hike with great views and mostly shaded trail with a nice breeze to cool you down from the heat.
Good amount of breaks which we had water bottles offered from them worrying about our hydration.
Negative
- It can be steep and exhausting for beginners in some parts.
Rappelling
Positive
- I felt like I was in a scene from an action movie. It was a great experience! Just this part itself could be a course.
Negative
- Despite being an amazing experience, it can be dangerous for some people.
- Given that the area is filled with weeds and bugs during the summer, everyone wants to wear comfortable clothes. It might be helpful to know that wearing leggings with swimsuits can be a good option.
Boat/Cave
Positive
- Riding the boat after rappelling was another movie scene to me.
- Having a time to enjoy the view of where we hiked from the boat and seeing amazing.
- Seeing the cave from really close was stunning.A must go place.
Negative
- As everyone knows, boats can make people feel motion sickness.It would be nice to have motion sickness medicine beforehand.
Snorkeling/Sunset
Positive
- It was a really nice and relaxing time after all the adventurous parts. The life jacket offered from the boat helps you to be more relaxed floating and enjoying the view underwater while snorkeling with a beautiful sunset as a gran finale.
Negative
- After sunset, if your body is wet, the wind can make it feel colder.
Dinner/Breakfast
Positive
- With locally grown and made ingredients, the food tasted delicious and felt more connected with the local food and great fun talking with the crew after spending time together.Feel very welcomed in Japan.
Negative
- As we discussed a little during dinner, more foreign people could feel welcomed with more dietary restrictions options.
Stay
Positive
- As a foreigner staying in a Ryokan itself is a whole experience. Having a nice ocean view from the outdoor hot spring enhances the experience.
Negative
- I was worried about the hotel not being tattoo friendly but it was and felt really welcoming to foreigners as many of us are common to have it.
