At the summit, it was below freezing with thick clouds, and the sun became a blurred silhouette without any gaps in the clouds. However, our guide, Jin, patiently captured the perfect photo opportunities. The air at the summit was indeed thinner than I had expected. We descended to a point where the clouds cleared, and using a pointer for stargazing, we had a lecture about myths related to the constellations, which was very enjoyable.
山頂は氷点下で雲が厚く、雲の切れ間がなくぼやけた太陽のシルエットになってしまいましたが、ガイドのJINさんが粘り強くシャッターチャンスを捉えてくれました。
山頂は思っていたより本当に酸素が薄かったです。
雲が切れるとこポイントまで下り、ポインターを使っての星空観測は星座に関する神話等々のレクチャーで、とても楽しかったです。

The magnificent sunset seen from the sea and the flying fish skimming the surface build excitement as we ride a thrilling boat, reminiscent of being on a banana boat.
Wearing a wetsuit, fins, and goggles, I floated while holding onto the raft's rope. A three-meter manta ray approached the raft, showing its patterned belly and opening its large mouth, spinning close to us multiple times. The sheer power of the experience left me completely overwhelmed and deeply moved. It was truly a precious and emotional experience.
ポイントにつくまでに見られる海上からの雄大なサンセットと海面を飛び続けるトビウオ、バナナボートに乗っているかのようなスリル満点の船で期待感が高まります。
ウェットスーツ、足ひれ、ゴーグルをつけ筏のロープに腕を伸ばした状態でつかまり浮いていると筏のブルーライトに寄ってくるプランクトンめがけて3メートル大のマンタが斑模様のおなかを見せながら大きな口を開けて私たちスレスレに何度も回転する様子には、あまりの迫力にただただ圧倒され感動するばかりでした。本当に貴重な感動体験ができました。

This was a fun activity, and totally safe. Our 4 yr old was not too excited at first, but later enjoyed it as we went out into the ocean. The highlight for her was getting to touch the water while sitting in the canoe, and seeing a turtle swimming close to us. The guide was experienced, and wanted to play safe since we had a young kid, but later realized that we could handle going out further into the ocean. It was a blast.

The buffet was abundant with all-you-can-drink options, and the meat dishes were particularly delicious (though the seasoning was a bit strong). I spent a leisurely time watching the sunset, and although there were hardly any Japanese people around, it felt like a family atmosphere, as mentioned in someone else's experience. I chatted a bit with the couples and families nearby, but I think it would have been an even better dinner if I had stronger English skills! However, since the time was long, I found myself battling sleepiness in the second half...
豊富なビュッフェに飲み放題、特に肉類は美味しかったです(味付け濃いめでしたが)。
サンセットを見ながら、ゆっくり過ごし、日本人はほとんどいませんでしたが、どなたかの体験談にもあったように周りの席とは家族のような感じでした。
周りの夫妻や家族と少し会話しましたが、自分に英語力があればもっといいディナーになっていたとおもいます!

It was my first time parasailing! Since it was on the Big Island of Hawaii, the reception and staff on the water didn't speak much Japanese, but they were very kind. It was just my partner and me on the boat, so we had it all to ourselves. The view of the ocean from such a height was absolutely amazing, and we could see Mauna Kea clearly! However, I got a bit seasick due to the boat rocking and the swaying during parasailing, probably because I wasn't used to it... I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are unsure.
初のパラセーリングでした!
やはりハワイ島なので受付と海上スタッフはあまり日本語が通じるようではありませんでしたが、親切な対応でした。
船は自分たちカップルだけで、独占状態でした。
高い景色からの海はもちろん最高で、マウナ・ケアもよく見えました!
ただ、慣れてないからか船がけっこう揺れるのとパラセーリング中の揺れで、酔いました...

I was worried about altitude sickness, and even when I wanted to go to Mauna Kea during my past trip to the Big Island, I couldn't. This time, my husband really wanted to go, so I decided to join him.
To put it simply, I had no worries at all and was able to go and come back feeling great. I only felt a little short of breath at times. There were some people in the tour who felt unwell, but it seemed that oxygen inhalation resolved their issues.
Above all, I was moved by the indescribably beautiful orange color of the sun sinking into the sea of clouds. The Earth is amazing!! And then, the stars we saw afterward sparkled even more than in a planetarium...
I'm so glad I participated!!
I highly recommend that you go and experience it for yourself!!
高山病が不安で、過去にハワイ島に行ったときも行きたいと思いつつ、行けなかったマウナケア。今回は、夫がどうしても行きたい、というので思い切って参加しました。
結果から言うと、まったく心配なく、元気に行って帰れました。

ツアーの中に、具合を悪くされた方もいましたが、酸素吸入で問題なかったようでしたし。

I brought my daughter and granddaughter to visit my parents who live in Hawaii. My parents had never done the helicopter tour and it exceeded our expectations. Our pilot was also a biologist and gave us lots of information about the island. The kids (teenagers) couldn't stop smiling. We had four generations in that helicopter and all of us loved the experience. Highly recommended.
Aloha Lisa, the Circle of Fire is one of the "hottest" tours we have right now! Great to hear that your family was able to experience it and to see what formed the archipelago of the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii Island is the youngest of all the major islands; we hope you have a chance to visit her older siblings and see what they have to offer from the sky!

Would suggest that you have passengers switch seats during the tour. Unfortunately we get the back seats and the viewing is not as good as the seats further towards the front. Also it was harder to talk to the guide from back there. Might be nice if halfway thru the tour everyone switch seats.

At the Onizuka Center at 2800 meters, it was cloudy during dinner, but above around 3200 meters, we were above the clouds. It felt like a different world, almost like the sunlight of outer space. When we reached the summit, the clouds were far below us, and the moment of sunset was breathtaking; the sunset was beautiful too. The highlight was stargazing, realizing just how many stars there are. The world is so vast! I'm glad I came!

This experience is certainly off the beaten pack and is an amazing way to explore the nearly inaccessible Waipio Valley.
We met at the meeting point and we were driven down into the valley down one of the gnarliest roads I've ever been on in a 4x4 to the stables.
We were introduced to our horses and led on a serene trek through the valley. We went through rivers and around small holdings that are dotted around the valley. We marvelled, from a distance, at incredible waterfalls as we trekked through paths with fields on one side and jungle on the other. It was awesome.
Our guide was great and it's something we'll both always remember. We're not riders but we're extremely well looked after.
It was great. Thank you!!

Four years ago, I participated in the same 2.5-hour course. At that time, I expressed my hope for improvement due to the significantly reduced riding time. Believing that improvements had been made, I joined this time, and we departed around 9:15 and had riding time until just after 10:40. I think it's quite terrible to pay for a 2.5-hour course and receive a tour that doesn't even meet the 1.5-hour duration. The gate to the tour meeting place was also chained, and I was told to open it myself.
4年前にも同じ2.5時間コースに参加しました。その際にも大幅に乗馬時間が短縮されたことに改善希望を感想としてお伝えしました。改善されたことを信じて参加した今回は、9時15分頃から出発して10時40分過ぎまでの乗馬時間でした。2.5時間コースの料金を払い、1.5時間コースに満たないツアーとは、あまりにひどいと思います。ツアー集合場所へのゲートもチェーンがしてあり、自分で開けるようにと言われる始末。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, we sincerely apologize that the tour did not proceed as scheduled.
We confirmed the details of the tour with the operating company. Due to inclement weather on the day of the tour, the 2.5-hour plan could not be completed for the safety of our customers.
We understand that it must have been disappointing to have the tour content shortened, especially since you were looking forward to it. We also deeply apologize for the lack of proper explanation from the operating company. As mentioned in a separate email, we were unable to provide the tour content you signed up for, so we have processed a partial refund of the tour fee for you to confirm. Additionally, please be aware that the gate at the meeting point is always kept closed with a chain to prevent livestock from getting out.
We take your feedback seriously and will strive to improve our services in the future.

Took our family on this excursion and had a great time. Kevin was very knowledgeable about the area and gave great directions for sea kayaking. Our family likes the water but we had never sea kayaked before. The sea cave was my favorite and the kids loved the snorkeling. The optional cliff jump was a blast for me (43) and Kevin gave great directions to keep feet together, arms at side, and stay vertical. Kids may have a hard time following the directions as instinct is to flail arms when falling and if they do then it will be unpleasant when they hit the water. The snacks Kevin brought were refreshing after our adventure. We had a great time and would do it again.

I booked this tour because it comes with a Japanese guide. I forgot that I needed to contact them after arriving in Hawaii, and on the day of the tour, I hurriedly made a phone call, but there were no issues.
The participants were half Japanese and half foreigners. The guide was a friendly American woman in her twenties who spoke a little Japanese. The atmosphere on the boat was pleasant throughout.
About 30 minutes after departure, we arrived at the spot. We floated a buoy that looked like a glowing surfboard in the sea and waited for the manta rays to come. Once we confirmed that the manta rays were approaching, we all got into the water, held onto the buoy, and looked at the manta rays with our faces in the water. The manta rays swirled around, coming close to the light and then moving away, repeating this several times, and they came quite close, which was thrilling. On this day, the manta rays approached our buoy about 7 to 8 times. The night sea was cold, and since we couldn't stay in the water for too long, we were lucky to see them for a bit.
日本人ガイドがつくということで、こちらのツアーを予約しました。ハワイ到着後に連絡を入れなければならないことを忘れており、ツアー当日に慌てて電話をしましたが、問題ありませんでした。
ツアー参加者は日本人と外国人が半々。ガイドは20代くらいのアメリカ人女性でした。日本語は少し話せる程度でしたが、フレンドリーな性格で船上は終始和やかな雰囲気でした。
出港して30分ほどでポイントに到着。光を放つサーフボードのような浮きを海に浮かべ、マンタが寄ってくるのを待ちます。マンタが近づいてきたのを確認し、みんなで水に入り浮きにつかまりながら顔を水につけてマンタを見学。マンタはくるくると旋回しながら光に近づいては離れ、を繰り返しますが、かなり近くまでやってくるので迫力満点。この日は7~8回マンタが私たちの浮きに近づいてきました。夜の海は水が冷たく体が冷えるのであまり長く水中にいられないため、少ししか見られないこともあるようですので、私たちはラッキーでした。

I was worried about the weather, but by the time we took off, it was partly sunny and cloudy. The first orientation was in fast-paced English, which made it difficult to keep up, but I managed to understand the main points. We progressed along the coastline through clouds and occasionally fog. I was surprised and excited to see lava peeking through cracks in the rocks. From the crater, I could see the lava glowing red, and there was steam as well. The pilot made several turns to give us a better view. I understood the English fairly well. I’m not sure if it would have been better if the weather had been nice, but it seemed that the tour was canceled in the morning due to bad weather, so it was lucky for those of us who had reservations. It was a four-seater helicopter, but it was nice that there were only three of us from the family. Another helicopter had two couples, and it seemed a bit cramped. However, before boarding, there was a feeling of being strangers, but after we landed, we exchanged firm handshakes, which felt like a connection among those who shared the same experience.
お天気が心配でしたが、飛び立つ頃には晴れと曇り。最初のオリエンテ―ションは、早口の英語で、ついていくのが難しかったですが、要領だけは何とかわかりました。曇りと、時々霧?の中を海岸線に沿って進みました。ところどころに岩の割れ目から見える、溶岩にびっくりと興奮。火口からは溶岩が赤く燃えているのが分かり蒸気もあり、、良く見えるようにと、何度もパイロットが旋回してくれました。英語もまあまあわかりました。天気がよかったら、もっと良かったのかはわかりませんが、午前中は、天候が悪くツアー自体がキャンセルだったようなので、予約しているものにとっては、ラッキーでした。四人乗りのヘリでしたが、家族三人だけだったのも良かったです。もう一台は二組のカップルが乗っていたのですが、狭かったようです。でも乗り込む前は、他人のような雰囲気だったのに、降りてきたら硬い握手をしていたので、同じ体験したもの同士のつながりのようなものも感じました。

It was a reservation for the day we arrived on the Big Island. Most of the guests were foreigners, and there were a lot of people in line. The weather wasn't great, and they were handing out simple ponchos while we waited. My wife's poncho seemed to be a bit defective, and she struggled to put it on, but several foreigners in line helped her, and she finally managed to wear it. It was a fun memory. As for the show, it started to rain heavily around the time we were having dinner, and the drinks became watered down, so due to the fatigue from the flight, we ended up leaving before the show started. What a shame! However, it seemed that the foreigners were enjoying themselves despite the rain.

I participated at the end of April with a total of six people: my family of four, plus my father and mother.
The one-hour boat ride to our destination was pleasant and enjoyable. Drinks and snacks were provided, and we could help ourselves. The staff were very cheerful and kind, efficiently preparing snorkels and fins in sizes that suited everyone.
Upon arriving at the bay with the Captain Cook monument, it was finally time for snorkeling. I was worried about whether my six-year-old daughter and my 66-year-old father would be able to participate, but there were plenty of floaties and body wraps available, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. The water was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many colorful fish.
On the return trip, we encountered a pod of dolphins. Dolphins gathered from all around, swimming alongside the boat and jumping around us. We were able to see their cute appearances and behaviors for about 20 minutes, which was very moving.
I created many wonderful memories. Next time I visit the Big Island, I definitely want to join the Fair Wind snorkeling tour again. Thank you very much.
私は4月末に、家族四人&私の父と母、の合計6人で参加しました。
目的地に着くまでの一時間程、船の旅も気持ちよく楽しいものでした。ドリンクやスナックが用意されていて、自由に取りに行く形でした。
スタッフの方々もとても明るく親切で、それぞれにあったサイズのシュノーケル、フィンも手際よく用意してくれました。
キャプテンクックの記念碑がある湾に到着し、いよいよシュノーケルです。
娘は6歳、私の父は66歳だったので出来るか心配していましたが、浮き輪や体に巻き付ける浮具がたくさん用意されていたので、安心して楽しめました。海は少し冷たかったですが、カラフルな魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
帰りの船ではイルカの群れに遭遇しました。あちこちからイルカがたくさん集まってきて、船と並んで泳いだり、周りでジャンプしたり、、
20分ほどイルカの可愛い姿や仕草が見れて、
とっても感動しました。
本当に素敵な思い出がたくさんできました。

We travelled from Australia with our friends and took a helicopter tour of the volcano. The trip was amazing !! The pilot was informative and very knowledgeable. He had some great jokes and made us feel very safe. I would really recommend this trip to anyone.
Aloha Marg, Thank you for making the long trip out to visit Hawaii! So great to hear that you had such a memorable experience. Great selfie by the way!
