Hi all,
We are planning the annual legendary TED tour to Sado this year on the weekend of October 17/18.
Located in the sea of Japan, 2h30 from Niigata, Sado is a very rural island with great food, famous sake, and excellent diving. All and everything we need !
Program (tentative)
- late evening departure on Friday, Oct 16th, to Niigata, arrival as the sun rises, more or less.
- Ferry (and sound sleep) from Niigata to Sado in the morning of the 17th
- Two dives on Saturday
- Evening in a Ryokan on the Island, including dinner and breakfast the following day
- Two dives on Sunday
- Back to Tokyo with a late arrival on the 18th
The exact price will depend on the total number of participants (basically, the more the cheaper), but as an indication last year it costed roughly 40 000 yens per person (and that is what we are targeting for this year), including:
- 4 dives, not including rentals if needed, and transportation on the island for the divers
- 1 night and a dinner/breakfast in the Ryokan
- Shared transportation to Niigata (gasoline and motorway toll)
- Boat from Niigata to Sado... and back.
There might be some very slight changes, hopefully for the better and cheaper, as we will try and optimize both transportation and accomodation.
Families and non-divers can join, there is plenty to see, eat, drink, trek and do on Sado. For those interested, Snorkeling is also a possibility. Non-divers will not pay for dives (a 20000 yens rebate), but the above quoted price does not include extra activities, and it does not include a car rental for non-divers (without a car, it might be very difficult to enjoy the island), so please contact us if your family plans to join.
In order to secure the accomodation and the dives, we would appreciate if you could tell whether you (and your family) are interested to join, whether you have a car or a driver's license, whether you need anything or have anything particular request BEFORE SEPTEMBER 19th.
This is important to optimize the costs.
Final confirmation and final price will be given at the end of September.
For TED, Pierre
