We might have to decline your request, even at reception,
If we cannot communicate in those languages.
-> This is primarily for the sake of your safety during water activities.
When there is sudden weather change(e.g. waves and winds)
coming toward us, we need to ask you to control your vessel
so that you won`t flip and end up swimming.
-> Imagine if you hear that vital information from other translator,
a minute too late, and that information might not be accurate.
-> Our guide service DO NOT use [Chinese; Mandarin or Cantonese],
or [Korean] as guiding languages.
-> For above reason, we cannot accept “your friend in Japan”
sending application for you. You need to read and understand our
policy for your safe experience.
