Driving to the summit of Mauna Kea, which is over 4,000 meters high and taller than Mount Fuji, is truly convenient and helpful for those without climbing experience. The foothills were cloudy, but near the summit, it turned into a sea of clouds, and the sunset sinking into it along with the sky changing colors was incredibly beautiful.
Stargazing in complete darkness before the moon rose was a first-time experience for me, where I could see the Milky Way, shooting stars, the International Space Station moving more slowly than shooting stars, and even the rare sight of the red flames from a volcanic crater.
The guide's explanation of the constellations using a laser pointer was also enjoyable.
富士山より高い4000メートル級のマウナケア山山頂に自動車で行くことができるのは、登山未経験者には本当に楽で助かります。山麓は曇っていましたが、山頂付近は雲海となって、そこへ沈んでいく夕日と刻々と色を変える空は最高に美しかったです。
真っ暗な中での星空観測は、月が上がる前の時間帯で天の川、流れ星、流れ星よりゆっくり動く国際宇宙ステーション、めったに見られないらしい火山の噴火口の赤い炎も観ることができ、人生初の体験ばかりでした。
ガイドさんのレーザーポイントを使った星座の説明も楽しかったです。

The event started at 17:30, but I lined up for the general seating from 17:00 and was able to be shown to a seat quite far forward. The children's buffet was ready to eat right away, so I had my child go get some, and I enjoyed it as a snack. The main buffet was delicious as well. I got a bit sleepy during the middle of the show, but the fire performances were impressive.

I participated because I wanted to see the Hiilawe Falls in Waipi'o Valley. Those who do hula will understand, but two waterfalls merge into one river and flow out to the sea. It was a beautiful sight.
It was my first time riding a horse, but the horses are well-trained, so there were no issues. I was nervous at first since it was my first experience. The instructions before riding are only in English, but there is a description in Japanese in front of the stable. The application form was in Japanese.
We rode for about two and a half hours through the valley, seeing taro fields, rivers, and waterfalls. The scenery was very pleasant. I would definitely like to participate again.
We are not very good at English, so we asked the hotel concierge to confirm our reservation. It can be confusing to navigate to the site by rental car.
After reaching the Waipi'o Lookout, if you return along the left side of the road, you will arrive at the shop.
Everyone gathers early, so it's best to arrive at least 30 minutes beforehand. The shop also had snacks and souvenirs.
ワイピオ渓谷でヒイラべェの滝が見たくて参加しました。フラをしている方なら分かると思いますが二つの滝が一つの川となり海へ流れ出る。メレの通りでした。
乗馬は初めてのでしたが、しっかりと調教されているので問題はありません。私は初めてだったので、慣れるまでは緊張しました。馬に乗る前の説明は英語のみですが、馬小屋の前に日本語で説明が書いてあります。参加申込書は日本語でした。
約2時間半 馬に乗って渓谷の中を回りました タロ畑・川・滝 とても気持ちのいい景色でした。また是非、参加したいです。
私たちは、英語が得意ではありませリコンファームはホテルのコンシェルジュにおねがいしました。レンタカーで現地までは、ナビでは迷います。
ワイピオルックアウトまで行き、来た道の下側 左側を道沿いに戻るとショップに着きます。
皆さん集合が早いので、30分前には到着していた方がいいです。ショップには、スナックやお土産もありました。

When I checked the meeting place on Google Maps, it ended up being along H1, so I confirmed it at the hotel front desk and headed there cautiously. First, we drove to check the parking and location, and in the end, we walked from the Sheraton where we were staying to Keauhou Bay. It was about the size of a private beach, and we could easily reach it from the opposite side.
It was our first time kayaking, and as expected, we didn't make much progress at first, but the weather was really nice that day, and we were able to reach the cave safely! As mentioned in other comments, it's better to have sandals that won't come off or trekking shoes. Depending on the weather, there may be times when you can't reach the land, so it's best to bring them just in case. We only had beach sandals, but the guide said, "They float in water, so if you drop them, you can just pick them up, so it's not a problem."
I recommend getting a waterproof disposable camera sold on-site, as it allows you to take photos without worry. Also, my husband only got sunburned on the inside of his feet. It's best to be fully prepared for sun protection.
集合場所をGoogleMapで確認すると、H1沿いになってしまうのでホテルのフロントで確かめて慎重に向かいました。まずは車で行き駐車場や場所を確認し、結局は今回宿泊していたシェラトンから歩いてケアウホウ湾に行きました。プライベートビーチぐらいの大きさで反対側にいても問題なくたどり着ける距離でした。
カヤックは主人も私も初めてで、思った通りになかなか進まなかったりしましたが、この日は本当に天気が良く無事に洞窟までたどり着くことができました!
他の人のコメントにあったとおり、脱げないサンダルやトレッキング用シューズがあったほうが良いです。天候によっては陸地にいけないこともありますが、念のため持って行ったほうがよいです。私たちはビーチサンダルしかなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが「水に浮くから落としても拾えるから問題ない」と言ってました。
現地で売ってる防水の使い捨てカメラがあると気兼ねなく写真を撮ることができるのでお勧めです。
あと、主人は足の内側だけ焼けてました。日焼け対策は万全にしておいたほうが良いです。

When it comes to tours on the Big Island, Mauna Kea is a must-see. My friend and I participated in the summit sunset tour and were very satisfied. It included warm clothing, a bento box, water, hot drinks, and cookies, which was very thoughtful. Our guide, Kon, was very calm and kind, and Macchan was truly a mood maker and reliable. Both of them were wonderfully attentive. The age group of participants was mostly in their 20s and 30s, creating a friendly atmosphere. The view from the summit of Mauna Kea was, of course, breathtaking, and I received a lot of energy from it. In January, there was still snow and it was cold, but since they had prepared proper cold weather gear, I had no worries and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was also convenient to stop by a supermarket on the way there and back. I highly recommend this tour for friends, families, and couples alike.
ハワイ島のツアーといえばマウナケア山は外せないと思います。私と友人は山頂サンセットツアーに参加してとても満足しました。防寒装備やお弁当、お水、暖かい飲み物とクッキーが付いていて、至れり尽くせりでした。ガイドのコンさんはとても穏やかで優しく、まっちゃんさんは本当にムードメーカーで頼もしい。二人とも気配りが素晴らしかったと思います。参加されてた年齢層は20〜30代が多く、和やかな雰囲気でした。マウナケア山頂の景色はもちろん圧巻で、パワーをたくさんもらいました。1月はまだ雪があり寒いですが、防寒対策がしっかり用意されていたので、心配なことは無く、しっかりとツアーを楽しみました。行きと帰りにスーパーに寄れたのも重宝しました。友人同士、家族、カップル、全てにオススメなツアーです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
Indeed, Kon-chan provides wonderful service that combines the Japanese spirit of hospitality with the Aloha spirit of Hawaii. The tour is relaxed due to his laid-back nature, but that is one of Kon-chan's great qualities, and he is very kind.
His knowledge of plants and his sense of camera angles are exceptional. Matsuchan is incredibly enthusiastic about service, ensuring that everything is taken care of from the beginning to the end of the tour.

During my trip between Oahu and the Big Island, I was torn between horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch or Waipi'o Valley, but to cut to the chase, I made the right choice by going horseback riding here.
The first half of the experience, taking a 4WD bus down to the valley where the horses are, was incredibly enjoyable. Although I'm not great at English, the instructors seemed accustomed to Japanese speakers and taught us how to ride in a way that was easy to understand, even without grasping the language.
The horseback riding course allowed us to fully enjoy the magnificent nature unique to the Big Island. We crossed streams multiple times, and it was adorable to see the horse I was riding stop to drink water or nibble on grass along the way. If you pull on the reins, the horse will start walking, and I felt safe riding a well-trained horse. At the scenic spots, the staff kindly took photos of us while we were on horseback.
オアフ島とハワイ島のはしご旅で、クアロア牧場かワイピオ渓谷どちらで乗馬か迷っていましたが、結論から言うとこっちで乗馬して大正解でした。
前半の4wdバスで馬のいる渓谷の下まで降りるだけでもとてもとても楽しめます。
英語は苦手ですが、インストラクターの方もそう言う日本人に慣れているようで大事な乗馬の仕方は英語が理解できなくても分かるように教えてくれます。
乗馬コースはハワイ島ならではの大自然が満喫でき、小川も何度も渡りますが乗せてくれてる馬が水を飲んだり、脇道の草を食べ始めたりと可愛らしいものです。しっかり手綱を引っ張れば歩き始めますし、よく躾が行き届いた馬で安心して乗れました。絶景スポットでは馬に乗りながら写真撮影もしてくれてスタッフの方はとても親切でした。

There were six people in our group: four Japanese and two Westerners. The explanations were all in English, but there were also Japanese signs about horseback riding, so I was able to confirm any parts I didn't understand and get started.
The horses varied greatly; some were well-trained while others seemed less so (I think it depends on how they are handled).
I believe that those with even a little bit of horseback riding experience will enjoy both the scenery and the riding more than complete beginners.
Both instructors were kind, and I was happy to give them tips.

Dear Haruko,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sunset at Mauna Kea. Mauna Kea, which is ranked among the world's breathtaking views, captivates with different scenery every time you climb it.
We hope you will visit the Big Island again next time. Our entire staff looks forward to welcoming you back.
