The sea was rough until the day before, but Mr. Tom's alternative suggestions and efforts were greatly appreciated. The service on the day was also polite and excellent. The experience with the whale shark was great, but the staff's response was very good, and I felt satisfied overall! I plan to use your services again. Thank you! 😊前日まで海が荒れていて事前にトムズさんが代替案も出して下さり色々と動いていただけました。
当日の対応も丁寧で最高でした。
ジンベイザメの体験も良かったですがスタッフさんの対応が非常に良く気持ちも含めて満足でした！
また利用しようと思いました。
ありがとうございました😊
