recommended for families traveling with children.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px;\">PiPi's tours also start in shallow water where you can touch the bottom while wearing a life jacket, so they're easy for children to join.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%81%95%E3%81%84%E3%81%94%E3%81%AB\"><\/span>in
