I had a great time the guides very very knowledgeable and helpful. It was amazing how close the Manta Ray came to use as we were on the surface hanging to a raft. If I go back this is one thing I will differently do again.

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

I am deeply moved! 感激!

Reviewed by: TAKAKO

I didn't experience altitude sickness (I had a meal and watched a video at 2800 meters to acclimatize, as Mr. Ishikawa, the tour conductor, mentioned), and I didn't feel cold at all since they lent us warm clothing. I was very satisfied with the amazing sunset at the summit and the stargazing a little further down. They said not to have high expectations, and indeed, the bento was not delicious.

高山病になることもなく(2800mのところで食事をしたり、映像をみたりして、からだを慣らすため高山病になることはないと石川さん(ツアーコンダクター)が言ってました)、防寒着を貸してくださるため寒さも全く感じず、山頂でのすごいサンセットと少し降りたところでの星空観測にはとても満足しました。期待はしてはいけないとおっしゃっていましたが、その通り、お弁当はおいしくありませんでしたが。

It was truly a wonderful time! 本当に素敵な時間でした!

Reviewed by: ホンダ

I heard that you can see a beautiful sunset on the Big Island for the first time, so I joined the tour with high expectations. Even as a beginner in hiking, I could drive to the viewpoint, and both in the car and at the viewpoint, the guide shared many interesting stories, making it an enjoyable experience. The weather was great that day, and I was satisfied to see the red, shining sunset beautifully sinking on the horizon! Thank you very much! I want to join again!

初めてのハワイ島で、すごく綺麗な夕陽が見られると聞き、期待をしてツアーに参加しました。
山登り初心者でも車でポイントまでいけるし、車中もポイントでもガイドさんが面白い話を沢山してくれ、楽しみながら参加できました。
当日天気も良く、赤く輝く夕陽が綺麗に地平線に沈む様子を見る事が出来、満足しました!ありがとうございました!!また参加したいです!

ワイピオ渓谷  乗馬ツアー <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

It was well trained. 良く調教されていました

Reviewed by: ハワイ島リピーター

We participated as a couple.
I was worried about the explanations in English, but the horses were well-trained, and I felt safe riding as long as I trusted the horse.
Even if you're not good at English, there's no need to feel anxious about horseback riding.
During the horseback riding course, we couldn't see the ocean, but Waipi'o Valley is a scenic spot with ocean views, so it was great to enjoy it on the way back.
We left Keauhou at 7:00 and arrived at 8:30.
There is only a simple Western-style toilet available.
If you go about 1 km towards the Waipi'o Tour Center, there is a drive-in, so it might be better to use that.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
英語での説明に不安がありましたが、馬が良く調教されていて、馬に任せていれば安心して騎乗できました。
英語が不得意でも乗馬については不安を感じる必要はまったくありませんでした。
乗馬コース中、海は見えませんでしたがワイピオ渓谷自体は海の見える景勝地なので帰りに堪能できて良かったです。
ケアウホウを7時に出発して8時30分に到着しました。
トイレは簡易式の洋式トイレしかありません。
ワイピオツアーセンター方面に1Kmくらい進むとドライブインがあるのでそちらを利用したほうがいいかもしれません。

Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Swimming with rays

Reviewed by: Dorotka

It was an amazing experience ! Like an underwater ballet with a bit of adrenaline because even you know that rays are completely harmless and gentle you are still swimming in the middle of the ocean at night .There were at least 25 of them that night passing sometimes within an inch of our biddies, it felt like gentle caressing. I think it was my favorite activity and we did practically everything there is to be done on the Island (from extreme to leisure ) Definitely recomend it

The show was wonderful. ショーは素晴らしい。

Reviewed by: Shu

The hula dance and fire action were beautiful, powerful, and very entertaining. The food and drinks were quite ordinary, but I think the service was pretty good. If you have the time, I recommend arriving a little before the meeting time. Seats are assigned in the order of arrival, so this time we were in the front row. Because of that, we were able to enjoy a spectacular show.

フラダンスとファイアーアクションは、きれいで迫力があり、とても面白いです。
食事とお酒はごく普通の内容ですが、サービスはかなり良いと思います。
余裕があれば集合時間の少し前に行った方が良いと思います。席は並んでいる順番で前から案内されるため、今回は一番前の席でした。

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

The best memories. 最高の思い出

Reviewed by: m.t

This was my first time participating in this tour, and I chose to go directly to the meeting place on my own, but I wasn't quite sure where to go and ended up asking someone for directions to finally arrive. I felt that arranging for a pickup would have been smoother and more reassuring.

The tour guide, Torichan, was a wonderful person, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The manta rays were very large, and seeing them swim right in front of me was breathtaking. They came so close that their bellies almost touched mine. They were much bigger than I had imagined, but I felt no fear at all. I was just so excited. Their adorable faces and the way they swam gracefully were incredibly soothing, and it was truly an emotional experience.

If you're going to the Big Island, I highly recommend participating in this tour. You'll feel the rich nature up close, and the interaction with the manta rays will undoubtedly become a wonderful memory that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

このツアーの参加は初めてで
個人で直接集合場所に向かうプランにしましたがいまいち分からず人に教えてもらいながらなんとか到着。
送迎を頼む方がやはりスムーズで安心だと感じました。

ツアー案内のとりちゃん、とっても素敵なお人柄の方でより一層楽しく過ごせました。

マンタはとても大きく
目の前で泳ぐ姿は圧巻。
マンタのお腹と私のお腹が当たるほど
近距離で近寄ってきてくれました。
想像以上に大きかったですが
怖さは全くなかったです。
とにかく興奮しました。
愛くるしいお顔に、ゆったりと優雅に泳ぐ姿にとても癒され
本当に感動的な体験でした。

ハワイ島行くなら
このツアーに参加することをお勧めします。
豊かな自然をより近くで感じ
マンタとの触れ合いは一生心に残る素敵な思い出になること間違いなしです。

I was looking forward to seeing the manta rays! I thought the waves would be calmer than they actually were. I was moved to see several manta rays swimming gracefully, but it felt like we were luring them in with food... it was more like feeding them than what I had imagined.

But it was still a lot of fun!

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Started out rough, but was a fun time

Reviewed by: Dotman

We arrived at the appointed time for check in after making the 2 hour drive from the opposite side of the island. We were greeted nicely, had a short conversation, then found out the booking agent sent the email with the requested date/time, but the booking agent actually booked us for the following day.

After a few minutes, the tour company resolved the oversight by calling in the standby pilot, upgraded us to the bigger helicopter (to fly with only us), and would provide us with a free copy of the flight video. The only issue was it would be an hour later than our scheduled time. This gave us time to eat lunch at the airport before our new check in time, so no worries.

The flight was fun, great photo opportunities of the volcano areas/lava tubes, and very interesting facts from the seasoned pilot. I would use this company again despite the scheduling error.

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

Sunset and Night Rainbow (Moonbow) サンセットと夜の虹(ムーンボー)★

Reviewed by: ニコニコ

I joined a tour to see the stunning starry sky of the Big Island. After picking up guests from various hotels, we headed to the Onizuka Center. During this time, our guide, Jin, shared various interesting facts about the Big Island, making the journey enjoyable and entertaining. At the Onizuka Center, we had lunch and rented cold-weather gear, which included ski pants and jacket, gloves, and a hat. Being someone who gets cold easily, I wore a fleece over my T-shirt, applied a heat pack, and used the rented cold-weather gear.

We arrived at the summit a bit earlier than other tours, allowing us to use the restroom before it got crowded and wait in the best position. A sea of clouds spread out before us, with Subaru and telescopes from various countries in sight, creating a truly beautiful view. The sunset was breathtaking, with the colors of the sky gradually changing, which was incredibly beautiful.

Afterward, we moved to a different location for stargazing and observed the Southern Cross. Unfortunately, due to the full moon, a completely starry sky was difficult to see, but I was able to witness the moonrise for the first time. The red moonrise felt quite mysterious. Since it was close to a full moon, seeing the Milky Way was challenging, but instead, we were shown Saturn, and at the end, we got to see a "night rainbow," which left me very satisfied!

The guide's knowledge about astronomy was impressive, and it was evident that they put in a lot of effort to provide the best tour based on the moon, weather, and timing.

ハワイ島の満点の星空を見たくて、ツアーに参加しました。まず各ホテルでゲストをピックアップ後、オニヅカセンターに向かいます。この間もガイドのJINさんがハワイ島について色々教えてくれるので感心したり笑いながら楽しく過ごせました。オニヅカセンターでお弁当を食べて、防寒具をレンタルします。スキー用の上下、手袋、帽子、という感じです。寒がりの私はTシャツの上にフリースを1枚羽織り、カイロを貼り、レンタル防寒具という具合です。
他のツアーよりも少し早めに山頂に着き、混み合う前にトイレを済ませ、ベストポジションにて待機です。雲海が広がり、その中にスバルや各国の望遠鏡があり、本当に素敵な眺めです。サンセットは感動的でした。空の色がだんだん変化していくのが、本当に美しかったです。
その後、星空観測のために場所を変えて、南十字星を観測。残念ながら、月が満ちていたので満天の星空は難しかったですが、月の出を初めて見ることができました。赤い月の出で、不思議な感じでした。満月に近かったので、天の川は難しかったですが、その代わりに土星を見せてもらったり、最後には『夜の虹』を見せてもらって、大満足でした!!
ガイドさんの天体に関する知識がすごいのと、月・天候・時期等に合わせたその時のベストなツアーができるよう努力してくれているのがとても感じられるツアーでした。

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

I get seasick, but my wife is very satisfied. 私は船酔い、妻は大満足

Reviewed by: Miya

My wife and I participated together. Due to traveling from Japan the day before, I was sleep-deprived, possibly because of jet lag, and ended up feeling seasick despite the boat not rocking much. I ate the breakfast bread served on board and saw dolphins from the boat, but other than that, I mostly slept.

However, my wife, who loves marine sports, was able to see several dolphins swimming very close by. When we anchored near a cape about an hour away from the pier in Kona, she was very satisfied as she used a snorkel to dive. It seems that for those who already enjoy marine sports, this tour offers a high level of satisfaction.

The staff, who at first glance appeared intimidating, were actually quite kind. While I was waiting for the restroom to become available on the boat, one of the staff quickly noticed and guided me to another restroom. Most participants were American families (Caucasian), but according to my wife, there was an elderly woman of Indian or Southeast Asian descent who seemed to struggle with swimming, yet the staff provided significant support for her diving experience. They are well-prepared to accommodate beginners. However, everything is in English, and they speak quite fast.

Since we were in open waters, there were concerns about sharks, but we were instructed to never stray far from the boat, ensuring safety.

So, originally, I would give this a five-star rating, but due to my seasickness, I have to deduct one star. Since it’s a morning tour, make sure to go to bed early the night before and get plenty of sleep.

妻と二人で参加しました。前日日本からの移動のため、時差ボケのためか寝不足のままツアー参加となり、大した揺れでもないのに私は船酔い。船内で出された朝食のパンを食べ、船内からイルカの姿を見た以外は、ほとんど寝ているという有様。
しかし、もともとマリンスポーツ大好きな妻は、すぐ近くで泳ぐイルカを何頭も見ることができ、コナのピアから1時間ほど船で移動した岬の近くに停泊したときには、シュノーケルを使って潜るなど、大満足。もともとマリンスポーツが好きな人には、かなり満足度が高いツアーのようです。
スタッフも一見コワモテに見えるお兄さんばかりでしたが、実際のところはかなり親切。私が船内のトイレが空くのを待っていたら、目ざとく見つけて別のトイレを案内してくれました。参加者のほとんどはアメリカ人(白人)の家族連れでしたが、妻によるとインドか東南アジア系の老婦人がいて、泳ぎが全くダメそうだったけどスタッフがかなりサポートして潜る体験もできたそう。初心者向けの対応もしっかりしています。ただし、全部英語です。しかもしゃべりが速い。
外洋なのでサメが怖いけど、船の周りからは絶対離れないようにとの指導もあり、安全性も確保されていたようです。
というわけで、本来星5つのことろ、私の船酔いのせいでマイナス1。朝出発のツアーなので、前日は早めに寝てしっかり睡眠をとりましょう。
