マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

You can't tell the weather in the mountains from below! 山の天気は下からでは分からない！

Reviewed by: Nやん

On the day of the tour, the weather was gloomy and I wondered where Mauna Kea was, but when we reached the summit, it was clear, and we were able to enjoy a sunset with beautiful colors. By the time the stars began to appear, the thin clouds above had cleared, providing the best stargazing experience.

It was a tour where I could enjoy the sunset and the starry sky with my eyes, listen to the guide's explanations with my ears, and feel the cold at an altitude of 4,000 meters on my skin.

The guide's explanations and trivia on the way there and back were very helpful. There was a wealth of recommended information about the Big Island, and I wish I had participated in the tour on the first day.

ツアー当日はどんよりした天気でマウナケアはどこに山があるの？な感じでしたが、
山頂まで上がると晴れていて、夕焼け付きのサンセット見させてもらいました。
星空が見え始める頃には、上空にあった薄曇も晴れて最高の星空観察でした。

夕日と星空を目で見て楽しんで、ガイドさんの解説を耳で楽しんで、標高4000mの寒さを肌で感じらことのできるツアーでした。

行き帰りのガイドさんの説明やうんちくとても参考になりました。ハワイ島のオススメ情報盛りだくさんで、初日にツアー参加すればよかったかも。

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル

I was able to see many stars and a wonderful sunset. 沢山の星と素晴らしいサンセットを見ることができました。

Reviewed by: mpb

The guide, Herald, was friendly and kept the group energized during the long drive. He shared a lot of local information about Hawaii. If you understand English, I think it's easier to participate than in a Japanese tour.

Although the weather in Kona was nice on the day of the tour, it rained as we got closer to Mauna Kea, and I was worried about the weather at the summit. However, when we arrived at the top, it was above the clouds, so there was no need to worry.

The summit of Mauna Kea was really cold. Even with a light down jacket and four layers underneath, plus a large down jacket they provided, I still felt cold. Despite the warnings about needing a jacket and long pants, some people didn't prepare, and it seemed quite cold, so they ended up spending most of the time on the bus, which was disappointing to see. (So, warm clothing is essential.)

There were parts where we joined other group tours, which made it hard to hear the explanations, and there were often car lights and white lights that are strictly prohibited for stargazing. However, I was able to see shooting stars multiple times, which was moving! I highly recommend it.

とにかくガイドのヘラルドがフレンドリーで、車の長い道のりもグループを盛り上げてくれました。ハワイのローカル情報もたくさん教えてくれました。英語が分かる方なら日本語ツアーより参加しやすいと思います。
当日はコナの天気は良かったもののマウナケアに近づくほど雨で、山頂の天気を心配しましたが、山頂に着くとそこは雲の上で心配無用でした。
マウナケアの山頂は本当に寒かったです。ライトダウンを着て4枚も着込んだ上に貸してくれる大きなダウンを着ても寒かったです。
あれだけ注意事項に上着必須、長ズボンと書いてあっても用意していない人もいて、かなり寒かったらしくバスの中でほとんどを過ごすこととなり、見ていて残念でした。(そのため、防寒具必須です)
ほかの団体ツアーと一緒になる部分もあり、説明が聞き取れなかったり、星を見るには厳禁の車のライトやホワイトライトが行き交うことも多かったですが、流れ星を何度も見ることができ、感動的でした！お勧めです。

I was the only Japanese person, but the staff was very considerate, such as providing Japanese subtitles for the pre-lecture video. The pilot's clear English and the easy-to-capture flights over the volcano created a comfortable and pleasant free space. I was able to take better photos of the crater than I expected!

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

The service was terrible. 最悪すぎる対応

Reviewed by: じゅり

I couldn't reconfirm using the phone number written on the voucher. If reconfirmation was necessary, I would have liked to know that before making the reservation. It's quite difficult for those who are not good at English.

On the day of the event, while I was being shown to my seat and went to get a drink, another staff member seated a different customer, which caused us to lose our seats. Again, my limited English made it hard to communicate with the staff. The staff, seeing the situation, called a Japanese staff member to help us explain, and we finally secured a seat, but it was at a different table. The person who originally had that seat was upset. (I couldn't understand what they were saying, but their gestures and tone indicated they were angry.) It seemed that they told the staff, and we ended up staying at that table, feeling quite uncomfortable.

We were looking forward to the show as a couple, but it was very disappointing. Moreover, the food was served by table, and it took a long time for it to come around, so we were almost last. When I went to get food, there was hardly anything left. There were no plates either. We could only get food until the show started, so we barely had anything to eat. I chose this for our last memory on the Big Island, but it turned into the worst memory. The show itself was good.

Please improve communication among staff regarding who was seated where. Well, I won't be using this service again.

とりあえずバウチャーに書かれた電話番号ではリコンファームが出来なかった。
そもそもリコンファームが必要ならば、予約前に分かるようにして欲しかった。英語が苦手な人にはかなり難易度が高い。

開催当日、席に案内され
ドリンクを取りに行ってる間に別のスタッフが別の客を席に通してしまい、私たちの席がなくなってしまった。
またここでも英語が苦手なのでスタッフに上手く伝わらない。スタッフが見かねて日本人スタッフに電話して電話をかわり私たちが説明してようやく席を確保されたが、そこはまた別の人の席で。
元々の席の人には怒られて。(何を言ってるかはよく分かりませんがジェスチャーと口調で怒ってるようでした。)その人がスタッフに言ったようで、私たちはこのままの席になりましたが、肩身の狭い思いをしました。
夫婦で楽しみにしてたショーだったのにもううんざり。
しかも料理はテーブルごとで、中々順番がまわってこずにほぼ最後。
料理を取りに行ったら、料理がほとんどない。皿もない。ショーが始まるまでしか料理は取りに行けないから、私たちはほぼ食べる事が出来ませんでした。
ハワイ島最終日に最後の思い出と選んだのに最悪の思い出になりました。
ショー自体は良かったです。
もっと、誰をどこの席に通したかとか、スタッフ同士で連携してください。
まあ、二度と利用しませんが。

It's really cold! 本当に寒い！

Reviewed by: ミクちゃんパパ

I prepared for the cold by bringing a hoodie, a rash guard, and slacks, as it was mentioned in advance to dress in layers. I thought it would be just right to receive warm clothing at the 2,800-meter "Onizuka Visitor Center." However, when I reached the summit, it was quite windy and very cold! I borrowed gloves, but it was still chilly. I seriously wished I had a sweater. The view from the top was fantastic, possibly because the air was so clear. The sunset was beautiful. At night, since the moon wasn't out, I was able to observe many stars, and the guide explained the constellations using a laser pointer, which was a lot of fun. I was impressed by the guide's extensive knowledge!

What surprised me was that I could see the "Hubble Space Telescope" flying right above the tour! It became a great memory.

事前に「寒いので重ね着の用意を」と書いてあったので、パーカーとラッシュガード、スラックスを持って行きました。2,800メートルの「オニズカ・ビジターセンター」で防寒着をもらって丁度良いかな？なんて。頂上に着いたら風もあり寒いのなんのって！手袋も借りていましたが寒い。真面目にセーターが欲しかったです。頂上からの景色は空気もきれいなのでしょうかとても良かったです。夕日のきれいでした。夜の星も月が出ていなかったのでたくさん観測することができ、案内の方がレーザーポインターで星座を説明してくれてとても楽しかったです。案内の方の知識の凄いこと！感心しました。
そう！ビックリしたのは「ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡」が丁度ツアーの上を飛んでいるのが見えたことです！良い記念になりました。

I fully understood that the weather could affect our plans, but the island tour, including Kilauea, that I had booked the day before was canceled due to the eruption. I prayed to at least see Mauna Kea, and my prayers were answered.

Without suffering from altitude sickness, I witnessed a beautiful sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. For some reason, I found myself in tears. Then, at a parking lot a little lower down, we enjoyed a starry sky. It was a luxurious time lying down together just to gaze at the stars. Kon-chan's explanations were easy to understand.

It was a perfect night with a sky full of stars, with no moon in sight. It was an experience I will never forget.

天気に左右されることは充分わかっていましたが、前日に予約していたキラウエアを含む島内観光が噴火によりツアー中止になり、マウナケア山だけでもなんとか見たい！の祈りが天に通じました。
高山病になることもなく、マウナケア山頂での美しい夕焼け。なぜか涙が出てしまいました。そして少し降りた駐車場での星空。みんなで寝転んで星空だけを見る贅沢な時間。konちゃんさんの説明わかりやすかったです。

An extraordinary dolphin tour!! 桁違いのイルカツアー！！

Reviewed by: nikku

I went directly to the meeting point since I had rented a car. On time, our guide Daisuke arrived. He was amazing!! He claimed to know more about dolphins than anyone else in the world, and he was right.

There were tours for foreigners, and the dolphin spots were crowded, but with his precise guidance, we were able to read the dolphins' movements from the agile boat and dive in!

We were able to see dolphins right in front of us during every dive. I had participated in several tours in Oahu, but this experience was on a completely different level in terms of encounters with dolphins, proximity, and enjoyment.

My middle school daughter was also very satisfied; it was a memorable tour. Thank you, Daisuke. This tour is definitely better than the more famous ones!

レンタカーを借りていたので集合場所に直接行きました。
時間通りにガイドのダイスケさんが来てくれました。
とにかく彼がすごい！！
世界一イルカを知っていると自負していましたが、その通り。
外国人向けのツアーもありイルカのポイントは混雑していましたが
的確な誘導で機動性のある船からイルカの動きを読んでダイブ！

全てのダイブでイルカを目の前に見ることが出来ました。
オアフのツアーでも何度か参加しましたが桁違いのイルカとの遭遇と距離そして楽しさでした。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Seriously glad we did this!

Reviewed by: Sharon

The Sea Paradise crew gave us a great experience, from setting us up with wet suit and snorkel gear to teaching us how to "behave" in the water (#1 rule - Don't touch the Manta Rays, #2 rule - don't pee in the wetsuits - haha! - they provide a bathroom on board), providing drinks and snacks, including hot chocolate which was welcome after the snorkeling. They also made sure we weren't needlessly floating around in the water before the rays showed up, but got us in there in plenty of time to see 4 different rays swimming literally inches below our faces! So cool to see them somersault and glide beneath you. Completely worth the cost! Do this!

The tour was very interesting and Arthur our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the region. He answered all of our questions about the local environment as well as the history of the Hawaiian people.

It was cold at the summit and a sweatshirt should be worn if you cannot handle the cold even with the atlantic parka and gloves that is supplied.

The stargazing spot was incredibly clear and we could see hundreds of stars. We were also able to spot Venus, Jupiter, and several star systems through the telescopes provided.

Reviewed by: KAZ

It can't be helped since we were dealing with wild animals like manta rays, but it was disappointing when time ran out after waiting on the boat in the cold. It seems that other boats didn't see them that day either. In a way, you could say it was a genuine tour rather than a staged one... The staff mentioned that I could participate for free next time, but there wasn't any detailed information, so I'm worried about whether they will really accommodate that for free.

野生の動物マンタ相手なので仕方がないですが、寒い中、ボートに揺られ待っていたので時間切れになった時は残念でした。この日は他の船でも見れなかったみたいです。ある意味、仕込みでは無いリアルなツアーとも言えますが。。。スタッフの方は次回無料で参加可能と言っていましたが、詳しい案内も無かったのでほんとうに無料で対応して頂けるのか不安です。

However, to my surprise, I didn't get to see any mantas, and it started to rain coldly along the way, pouring down by the time we arrived at the port. I believe that Pele, the goddess of the Big Island, is calling me to come back, so I will return to the Big Island for a revenge trip!

It will become invalid if I don't come to Hawaii within two years, so it gives me motivation. I will make a comeback within two years!

Can you climb to the summit of Mauna Kea? An exciting journey! マウナケアの山頂に登れるか？ドキドキの旅

Reviewed by: piapia

The first thing the hotel staff said upon our arrival was, "It was snowing in the morning, and the summit was closed. It's open now, but we don't know when it might close again." We set off with a bit of a resigned attitude. Normally in April, there's an 80% chance of reaching the summit, but this year, there's an 80% chance of not being able to. They mentioned that for the past few days, no one had been able to reach the summit. When we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center, it was raining quite a bit, and we were fully in a resigned mode. After a while, the rain stopped, so we decided to eat our lunch outside. Then, gradually, it started to brighten up, and we were able to climb Mauna Kea! Although we couldn't see the bright red sunset like in the pictures, we were grateful to have made it to the summit.

For stargazing, they helped us find a good spot to see the stars. The explanations about the stars were easy to understand. We even saw shooting stars. What was unexpectedly delightful was that during the stargazing session, we were served cookies and tea, and the cookies were Mrs. Barry's cookies, which I had wanted to try! Thank you to our guides, Jin and Konno! It was a very satisfying tour.

The summit of Mauna Kea is cold. They lend you upper and lower wear, so I brought my own lightweight down jacket, high socks, and gloves that allow me to use my smartphone. They also lend gloves, but they are thick, making it inconvenient to operate the camera.

　ホテルにお迎えの第一声が、「午前中は雪が降っていて、山頂はクローズしてました。今は、開いてますが、いつクローズになるかわかりません。」ちょっとあきらめ模様で出発。通常4月は、山頂に登れるのが80％だが、今年は山頂に登れないのが、80％とのこと。この何日間は、山頂まで登れていないとのこと。オニヅカビジターセンターに着いて、結構雨が降っていてもうあきらめモード全開。しばらくしたらやんだので、外でお弁当を食べることに。そしたら、だんだん明るくなってきて、マウナケア登れました！写真でみるような真っ赤な夕焼けはみれなかったけど、登れたことに感謝しよう。
　星空観測は、見える所を探して見せてくれました。星の説明もわかりやすかったです。流れ星もみました。予想外にうれしかったのが、星空観測の際にクッキーと紅茶をいただいたのですが、そのクッキーが食べてみたかったミセスバリーズのクッキーでした！ガイドのジンさん、コンノさんお世話になりました！とても満足できるツアーでした。
　マウナケアの山頂は、寒いです。上下のウェアを貸してくれるので、自分で薄手のダウンとハイソックスの靴下とスマホができる手袋を持っていきました。手袋も貸してもらえますが、分厚いのでカメラの操作をするには不自由です。

ハワイ島 サーフィンレッスン　カハルウビーチパークで波乗り体験！グループからマンツーマンのプライベートレッスンあり＜英語インストラクター／現地集合＞

Surfing was fun. サーフィンは楽しかったです。

First of all, surfing was fun. However, there was a lack of confirmation. I interpreted "meeting at the location" to mean gathering at the office, as it mentioned to meet at the office. So, I was surprised when they said, "Okay, come here!" after finishing the payment and fitting the rental gear. I thought they would take us from the surf shop to the ocean. In the end, my mother came to pick me up with a rental car, but I accidentally got a parking ticket where I parked. There was a free parking lot right nearby, but I wasn't informed about that. It was disappointing, especially since I enjoyed surfing.

まずはサーフィンは楽しかったです。が、確認不足がありました。
現地集合の意味です。
まずオフィスに集合とありますので、オフィスが現地集合の場所と解釈しておりました。
なので、支払いが終わりレンタル品のサイズ合わせが終わり、じゃあここにきてね！と言われた時にはびっくりしました。
サーフショップから海へは連れて行ってもらえると思っていましたから。
結局、母にレンタカーで迎えにきてもらい送迎してもらいましたが、うっかり停めた場所で駐車違反をとられました。
すぐそばに無料の駐車場もあったのに、そういう事は教えてもらえなかったです。
サーフィンは楽しかっただけに残念でした。
