    “고래상어 볼꺼면 여기서 묵는거 완전 강력추천. 일단 오슬롭에 리조트급 숙소가 없는 상황에서 깔끔하고 비용도 저렴하며 바로 옆에 있는 숙소라서 여러가지로 매우 편하다. 숙박 예약 한뒤에(예약하면 부킹닷컴 사이트서 보내도됨)카카오톡 id(wayshackhostel)로 연락하면호스트인 켄이 가는 택시랑 투어까지 더렴한 비용으로 다 예약해준다. 다른 투어 처럼 새벽에 공항에서 도착하자 마자 가는 투어보다 비용도 저렴하고 몸도 편함. 한 4시반쯤에...”

    “ジンベイザメの場所にすごく近いのでオーナーが朝から同行して手続きをエスコートしてくれたのでとても助かった。 4時に出発して順番の列に並び、整理番号を受け取ったら一旦ホテルに帰ることができた。 6時にもう一度いってジンベエザメウォッチングを楽しんだあとシャワーをすぐ浴びて休憩できたのが嬉しかった。最高の思い出になりました。ありがとう。”

    “とても親切なオーナーがジンベイザメウォッチングをすべて手配してくれました。早朝の待ち合わせから現地でのボート搭乗、GoProレンタルまでスムーズで何の問題も不安もなく、格安で楽しむことができました。ジンベイザメウォッチングの場所から徒歩数分なので、終了後に暖かいシャワーを浴びて部屋でゆっくりできたのもありがたかったです。”
