Big Island Afternoon Whale Watch Tour from Kona - Body Glove Cruises [Dec - Mar]

Not much to see

Reviewed by: omg9

We went for a whale watch, problem was there weren't a lot of whales.
That's not Body Gloves fault, they made the cruise enjoyable anyway.
We did get to see two whales and a couple dolphins.

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

A couple aged 64 and 65. Before taking off, we were nervous, but after leaving the boat, we flew around in the great outdoors with luxury cruise ships below us. It was an unprecedented experience, absolutely refreshing. The staff was kind, and since we arrived at the location earlier than planned, I asked to change the time a bit in broken language, and they smoothly accommodated the request. It was truly enjoyable. I want to experience it again.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

If you want to experience snorkeling, definitely go for it! シュノーケルを体験したいなら是非！

Reviewed by: tofu

I participated in an optional tour for my honeymoon. The guide and most of the participants were foreigners, and all explanations were in English. There was a Japanese version of the initial instructions. I think it's a good idea to use the restroom before boarding the boat (there is one on the boat, but I was worried about the lock). I wore my swimsuit under my clothes from the start. It might be better not to bring too many valuables... I might have had some, but I couldn't find them. You can leave your belongings on the boat!

From the meeting point to the boat, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the Captain Cook Monument. On the boat, they serve fruits, hamburgers, snacks, and drinks, all you can eat and drink at your leisure! I guess breakfast and lunch are combined? You will get full. When we arrive at the snorkeling spot, there is a brief explanation, and then everyone can freely dive into the sea (directly from the boat). You can borrow a full set of snorkeling gear and a float, and there was also something like a bodyboard for kids to see underwater. It's quite deep, so of course, your feet won't touch the bottom, but it's just beautiful! There are lots of corals and fish, and it was very moving. If it gets cold, you can return to the boat to drink warm coffee, sunbathe on the boat, take a little break, and then dive again... You can stay at the spot for about an hour and a half, so you can take your time ( ˘ω˘ ). The boat has a diving board and a slide, so I never got bored. I didn't get bored just diving either, haha.

The guides were all very friendly, and I was able to talk a lot even with my broken English!

It's an experience that you can only understand by going and experiencing it. If you're going to snorkel in Hawaii, I definitely think this tour is the best! I would absolutely want to participate again (^^).

貴重品はあまり持たない方がいいかも…あったのかもしれませんが、探せませんでした。船の上では荷物置きっぱなしです！

集合場所から船に乗り、キャプテンクック記念碑まで30分程度です。
船の中でフルーツ、ハンバーガー、お菓子、飲み物が出て、全て好きな時間に食べ飲み放題！朝食と昼食が一緒なのかな？お腹いっぱいになります。
シュノーケルスポットに着くと、少し説明があってそれぞれ自由に海に潜れます。(船から直接)
シュノーケル道具一式と浮輪も借りれるし、子供には海の中が見えるようになってるボディボードみたいな物もありました。
かなり深いのでもちろん足は届きませんが、とにかく綺麗です！サンゴも魚もたくさんいてとても感動しました。
寒くなったら船に戻って暖かいコーヒーを飲んだり、船の上で日向ぼっこしたり少し休憩してまた潜ったり…スポットに滞在するのは1時間半くらいなのでかなりゆっくりできます( ˘ω˘ )
船には飛込み台と滑り台があるので全然飽きませんでした。私は潜ってるだけでも飽きませんでしたが笑
ガイドの方達はとても気さくな方達ばかりで、片言英語でもたくさん話す事が出来ました！

It was moving!! 感動！！

Reviewed by: こんこん

I participated in the long-awaited sunset tour to celebrate my birthday on my honeymoon. The view was absolutely stunning!

First of all, the guide was incredibly kind. During the pick-up, they eased my nerves with small talk, and even though I was a bit anxious about my first trip to Hawaii, I felt the warmth of Japanese hospitality and was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.

There were also five other people in our group, along with another couple, and thanks to the cheerful group, the ride was lively! At the summit, we took pictures together and exchanged travel tips, and it was great to be with such wonderful people.

We experienced some mild altitude sickness symptoms like headaches and tingling, but the breathtaking view at the summit overwhelmed us and made us forget all about it! The vast sea of clouds, the red volcanic land, and the bright red sunset were all sights that I believe cannot be experienced in Japan.

During the stargazing, I saw shooting stars three times! The guide's explanations with the laser pointer were easy to understand, and the stars that can’t be seen in Japan, along with the craters of the moon viewed through the telescope, were truly beautiful.

They even took photos for us for free, and I think it's a great deal that this is included in the tour price! Since it was my birthday, having everyone sing Happy Birthday under the starry sky is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime! Thank you so much!

他に5人のグループの方とカップルさんが一緒で、陽気なグループの方々のお陰で賑やかな車中となりました！山頂では一緒に写真を撮ったり旅の情報交換をしたりととてもいい方々と一緒で良かったです。
私達は頭痛やしびれなど軽い高山病のような症状がありましたが、山頂の壮大な景色に圧倒されそんなのを吹き飛ばすほどの絶景に感動しました！！広がる雲海、赤い火山大地、真っ赤な夕焼け。どれも日本では味わうことの出来ない景色だと思います。
星空観察では流れ星を3回見れました！レーザーポインターでのガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、日本では見ることの出来ない星や、望遠鏡で見た月のクレーターは本当に美しかったです。
無料で写真も撮って下さり、これがツアー代金に含まれているなんてとってもお得だと思います！

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Even elementary school students can do it!! 小学生でも大丈夫!!

Reviewed by: yoshikunland

Drive from Hilton Waikoloa to the location.
Make sure to familiarize yourself with the route using Google Maps or similar services.
There is a shopping center at a midpoint where you can take a restroom break.
If you don’t get lost, you can arrive in about an hour.

It's okay if you can't speak English.
The only time you’ll need to communicate is when learning how to ride the horse, so gestures and simple phrases should be sufficient. (If you have some English skills, you might be spoken to during the ride or in the vehicle...)

The horses move slowly in a single file along well-maintained mountain paths.
They do not enter grassy areas or dense forests, so your clothes won’t get too dirty.
The order of the horses is determined by their rank within the group you ride with, so companions will likely be scattered.

As a note for riding, be careful when the horse drinks water or eats grass, as the reins may suddenly pull downwards.
Other than that, the horses are well-trained, and even elementary school students (3rd and 4th grade) managed just fine.

It seems that the kids enjoyed horseback riding more than shopping in Honolulu!

ヒルトンワイコロアからレンタカーで現地へ。
地図はグーグルマップなどでよく予習して行きましょう。
中間地点位にトイレ休憩出来るショッピングセンターがあります。
迷わなければ1時間位で到着できます。

英語は、出来なくても大丈夫。
会話が必要なのは、馬の乗り方を教わる時だけなので、ジェスチャーと片言で理解は出来るかと思います。(ある程度英語が出来ると、移動車内や乗馬時に話しかけられますが・・)

馬は、整備された山道をゆっくりと1列になって進みます。
草むらや密林には入らないので、心配するほど衣服も汚れません。
馬の順番は、乗った馬の群れの中での順位で決まるので、同行者はほぼバラバラになります。

乗馬時の注意事項としては、馬が水を飲んだり草を食べたりする時、手綱が急に下向きに引っ張られるので気をつけて下さい。
それ以外はよく訓練されているので、小学生(4年・3年)でも余裕でした。

やはり子供は、ホノルルで買い物よりも乗馬が楽しかったようです!。

Very professional pilot. Incredibly smooth ride without stunts or surprises. However, the doors off was wonderful with nothing between us and the lava. We were high enough to not be at risk but the views of the lava flows, vents, as well as the area waterfalls and scenery were superb. Securely strapped in.

"Moved by the beautiful sunset and starry sky!" 「素敵な夕日と星空に感動！」

Reviewed by: risa

I participated in this during my honeymoon.
About five years ago, I fell in love with stargazing after seeing countless starry skies in Japan. I learned that the summit of Mauna Kea is known as "the closest place to space," and I had always wanted to go to the Big Island for my honeymoon.

During the drive to the Onizuka Visitor Center, the guide's stories were so interesting that I didn't sleep at all and kept laughing the whole time. I also learned a lot about the history of the Big Island and the animals that inhabit the mountain. Before I knew it, we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center and had an early dinner. The bento came with miso soup, and it was very delicious. I could feel the love in the guide's homemade miso soup.

After a break, we finally headed to the summit of Mauna Kea. From the car on the way up, I could already see the sea of clouds, and my excitement was building. I love starry skies, but I also love sunsets just as much, so it was thrilling for me to see the sea of clouds for the first time.

Upon arriving at the summit, I was greeted by a breathtaking view of the sea of clouds. The sun was setting, and the colors of the clouds were gradually changing; it was truly beautiful. The guide took many photos with our camera, so we ended up with lots of wonderful shots. Thank you!

After the sun set, we moved to the stargazing area. Unfortunately, the day of our visit was the day after the full moon, so the countless stars I had imagined were not as visible, and the sky wasn't as clear as I had hoped. I knew the moon would have an effect, but since this is the closest place to space, I had gotten my hopes up a bit too much. However, thanks to the moon, I was able to see a beautiful moon through the guide's telescope, and I was very happy to have captured it with my camera.
I was very satisfied to see the wonderful sea of clouds, sunset, moon, and starry sky. I would love to participate in a sunset or sunrise tour again someday to see the new moon's starry sky! Thank you!!!!!!!!

新婚旅行で参加しました。
５年程前に日本で無数の星空を見てから、天体観測にはまりました。
マウナケア山頂が「宇宙に最も近い場所」だと知り、新婚旅行でハワイ島へ行きたいとずっと思っていました。

オニヅカビジターセンターまでの行きの車内では、ガイドさんの話が面白くて、一睡もする事なく、ずっと笑っていました。
また、ハワイ島の歴史や山に生息する動物の説明など色々と勉強になりました。
気づいたら、オニヅカビジターセンターに着き、早めの夕食。お弁当はお味噌汁も付いていて、とても美味しかったです。
ガイドさんの手作りお味噌汁の愛情を感じました。

休憩後、いよいよマウナケア山頂へ。山頂へ行く車内から既に雲海が見え、テンションが上がっていました。
星空も好きですが、同じくらい夕日も好きなので、実際に雲海を見た事がなかった私にとって、とても興奮しました。

山頂到着後、見渡す限りの雲海。夕日が沈んでおり、雲海の色が徐々に変化していき、本当に綺麗でした。
ガイドさんが私達持参のカメラで何枚も写真を取ってくれたので、素敵なショットがいっぱい取れてました。ありがとうございます！

夕日も沈み、星空観賞エリアへ移動。ちょうど参加日が満月の次の日だったので、イメージしていた無数の星が散りばめられ、澄んだ星空ではなかったのが少し残念でした。月の影響があるのはわかってて参加したのですが、宇宙に最も近い場所なので、もう少し見えるかなぁと期待を膨らませ過ぎてしまいました。
ただ、月のお陰でガイドさんの天体望遠鏡から、とても綺麗な月を見る事ができ、月をレンズ越しに持参のカメラで撮って頂けた事がとても嬉しかったです。
素敵な雲海と夕日・月と星空を見れて、とても満足でした。
いつか新月の星空を見に、サンセットかサンライズツアーにまた参加したいです！

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＞

It became a wonderful memory! いい想い出になりました！

Reviewed by: ココア

I have been to Oahu several times, but this was my first visit to the Big Island. Since I wanted to see a show while I was there, I researched online and in books, and it seemed that this luau show was the best option, so I signed up.

I read that if you want a seat closer to the front, it's better to line up early, so I arrived an hour in advance. By that time, there were already about five groups in line. However, it was worth arriving early as I was able to sit in a front row seat!

And finally, about the show…! The entrance scene was grand, coming from the sea! The music was played live throughout, which made it very enjoyable. The hula dance, which I was most looking forward to, was beautiful, but I felt there were too few dancers, as there were several gaps between the songs where no hula was performed, which was disappointing. I understand that it takes time for costume changes and preparations, but I wish there had been more dancers. However, the dance was lovely, and I would have been very satisfied if I could have seen more performances.

I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was more plentiful and delicious than I anticipated.

Overall, I would have been very satisfied if I could have seen more hula! But aside from that, the show by the seaside at sunset became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

オアフ島は何度か行ったことがありますが、ハワイ島は初めて行きました。せっかく行くならショーを見たいと思いネットや本で調べたところ、こちらのルアウショーが1番良さそうだったので申し込みました。

書き込みに、前の方の席が希望なら早めに並んだ方がいいとあったので1時間前から並びました。その時間ですでに5組ほど並んでる方がいました。が早めに行った甲斐あり前の方の席に座ることが出来ました！
そしていよいよショーはというと…！
登場シーンが海からというスケールが大きかったです！音楽はずっと生演奏で流れていたのでとても楽しめました。そして1番楽しみにしてたフラは躍りはとっても素敵だったのですが、ダンサーの人数が少なかったのか続けてずっとフラが見れるわけではなく曲と曲の間の空き時間が何回もあり、それが残念でした！着替え等の準備で時間がかかるのは仕方ないと思うのでもう少しダンサーの人数がいればなと思いました。でも躍りはとても素敵だったのでもっと曲数見れたら大満足だったなと思います。
お料理はあまり期待してなかったのですが、予想より品数も多く美味しかったです。

総合的にはフラがもっと見れたら大満足でした！でもそれを省けば、海辺で夕暮れ時からのショーはとてもいい想い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

A time to feel the grandeur of nature! 壮大な自然を感じられる時間！

Reviewed by: natsuko

One of the reasons I decided to go to the Big Island was my desire to see the starry sky at Mauna Kea, so I was really looking forward to it. After participating, it was just as wonderful as I had hoped.

After being picked up at the hotel, we headed to the Onizuka Visitor Center in a 12-passenger van. It was enjoyable to hear our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, talk about the plants and animals that inhabit the Big Island, and we even encountered wild sheep and cows.

Upon arriving at the Onizuka Visitor Center, we took a break with a bento box and miso soup. Although it was an early dinner before sunset, the bento was luxurious, like a catered meal, and I was very satisfied.

Since the van was full, it felt cramped after putting on the borrowed warm clothing. However, once we reached the summit, the temperature was lower than I had imagined, and the warm clothing was much appreciated.

The observatory and the sea of clouds illuminated by the sunset at the summit were breathtaking! The sunset disappearing into the sea of clouds was nothing short of magical. After it got dark, I was able to gaze up at the starry sky, and it was incredibly moving. I was blessed with good weather and timing, and the starry sky without the moon was overwhelming. In the distance, I could faintly see the red glow of the Kilauea crater… I was able to feel the grandeur of nature.

It became a truly wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

ハワイ島に行くことにしたきっかけの一つが「マウナケアで星空が見たい！」という思いだったため、とても楽しみにしていました。実際に参加してみて、期待通り素晴らしかったです。

ホテルでピックアップしてもらった後、１２人乗りのバンでオニヅカビジターセンターに向かいました。ガイドの山本さんのハワイ島に生息する植物や動物のお話を聞きながら、実際に野生の羊や牛などに遭遇でき楽しかったです。

オニヅカビジターセンターに到着後、お弁当とお味噌汁で休憩。サンセット前ということでかなり早めの夕食でしたが、仕出し弁当のような豪華なお弁当で大満足でした。

バンは満席だったため、借りた防寒着を着て着ぶくれた後の車中は狭く感じました。ただ、山頂に上がってみると想像以上に気温は低く、防寒着はありがたかったです。

山頂で夕日に照らされる天文台や雲海は圧巻！
雲海に消えていく夕日は幻想的の一言に尽きます。
暗くなってからは、満天の星空を見上げることができて、とても感動しました。好天やタイミングに恵まれ、月がない星空の星明りに感無量。
遠くには、キラウェアの火口の赤い光もうっすら…！自然の壮大さを感じることができました。

During the drive, the guide shared various stories about the Big Island, and we arrived in no time. At the Onizuka Visitor Center, we enjoyed a bento box and miso soup. It was a bit disappointing that the miso soup was cold, but I was still happy to have it♪

As we headed to the summit, they provided us with warm clothing, including hats and gloves, so we could enjoy the sunset and the starry sky without feeling cold. The moment I got out of the car and saw so many stars that I had never seen before, I was truly moved! We took some photos, but the starry sky was so breathtaking that it couldn't be captured in pictures. I tried to imprint the view in my memory for as long as time allowed. I was so touched that I could have watched it forever!

On the Big Island, we visited various spots like Kilauea Volcano and Hapuna Beach, but the sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea were the most impressive and became my favorite memory. So, if you go to the Big Island, I highly recommend participating in this tour! It's truly amazing☆

Mahalo マハロ

Reviewed by: まぼろしハワイ

I participated in both the sunrise and sunset tours. I thought I might be a bit greedy, but it turned out to be the right decision. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. While it's common for the sun to rise and set, I was surprisingly moved to the point of almost tears, realizing how extraordinary something so ordinary can be.

I remembered a line from a picture book I read as a child: "The sun is always watching over you." It felt as if the sun was truly saying that to me. When the sun rises, it feels like it's saying, "Alright, go on your new adventure today," filling me with excitement and energy for the day ahead. When it sets, it feels like it's saying, "That's enough for today. This is good," allowing me to acknowledge both the good and the bad of the day with a gentle heart.

I've encountered views that made me feel small before, but this was the first time I felt that while also gaining the strength to strive harder. I felt empowered to do my best.

The reason I felt this way wasn't just because the scenery was amazing, but also because our guide, who truly loves the Big Island, treated us so well. Thanks to the guide's charm, my memories of Mauna Kea became truly wonderful. I hope that many more people will come to appreciate the beauty of the Big Island. Thank you very much.

サンライズとサンセット両方のツアーに参加しました。少し欲張りすぎかなと思いましたが、欲張って正解でした。お天気にも恵まれ素晴らしい景色を堪能しました。太陽が登り沈むことは当たりのことだけれど、当たり前のことがこんなに素晴らしいものかと、不思議と涙が出そうなほど感動しました。
「おてんとうさまはどんな時もあなたを見ているのよ。」子供の時に読んだ絵本の台詞を思い出し、本当におてんとうさまにそんな風に言われた気がしました。
太陽が登る時は、「さあ今日も新しい冒険に行ってらっしゃい」と言われているようで、これから始まる１日にわくわくするような活力が湧いてきて、
沈む時は、「今日はここまで。これでよし。」と言われているようで、その日１日の良かったところも悪かったところも認めてあげることができるような優しい気持ちになりました。

自分がちっぽけに思える景色は他にも出会ったことがありますが、自分を小さく感じるのと同時に、もっと頑張れる。頑張るんだ。と思える力が湧いてきたのは初めてです。

こんな風に感じられたのは、ただ景色が素晴らしかったからではなく、ハワイ島が大好きというガイドさんが本当に良くして下さったということもあると思います。ガイドさんの魅力も手伝って、マウナケアの思い出がとても素晴らしいものになりました。
これからもたくさんの人にハワイ島の魅力が伝わることを願っています。
本当にありがとうございました。

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

It was moving!! 感動！！

Reviewed by: おとうさん

We were blessed with great weather and hardly any wind, making it a wonderful day. The journey to the Onizuka Visitor Center was enjoyable, as we stopped by lava plateaus and learned about various plants and creatures. I gained a lot of valuable knowledge that I wouldn't have known just by driving a rental car myself. The bento and miso soup were even more delicious than I expected. Although it was cold during the stargazing, I was very grateful for the warm tea and cookies provided by the staff. We were able to see shooting stars multiple times, which was truly moving. Honestly, I thought the price was high, but I'm really glad I participated.

お天気にも恵まれ、風もほとんどなくすばらしい一日でした。
オニヅカビジターセンターまでの道のりも、溶岩台地に立ち寄ったり植物や生き物の
お話など、楽しく過ごせました。自分でレンタカーで走るだけだと知らないことを、たくさん
教えていただき、有意義でした。
お弁当やおみそ汁も期待以上に美味しかったです。寒い中での星空観測のでしたが、温かい
紅茶やクッキーを用意していただき、スタッフの方のお気づかいもとてもうれしかったです。
流れ星も何度も見られ、感動の連続でした。
正直、お値段が高いと思っていましたが、参加して本当によかったと思っています。

The drive from the hotel to the Onizuka Visitor Center took about an hour, and it was very enjoyable to hear stories about the plants and animals that inhabit the Big Island of Hawaii. I felt the staff's attentiveness throughout the journey.

Along the way, we stopped to take pictures of the lava fields, making the trip to our destination quite fun. The lunch box and miso soup we had upon arriving at the Onizuka Visitor Center were delicious.

Regarding the restrooms, I think it's good to follow the instructions about their locations and timing (the staff provides appropriate advice).

At the summit, we were fortunate to have clear weather with no wind, resulting in a wonderful sunset. I was actually worried about my child (13 years old) who wasn't feeling well, but the guide's care and the oxygen bottle they brought along were very helpful. I really appreciated their support. It was my first experience using oxygen!

Even though it was cold during the sunset and stargazing, we were warm thanks to the provided clothing (it seemed that some participants from other tours did not have pants available for borrowing), which made it comfortable.

During the stargazing, the guide's explanations were thorough, easy to understand, and enjoyable. I was also delighted by the warm tea and cookies! We saw shooting stars multiple times during the star explanations, making it an emotional and memorable tour. I'm really glad I participated.

ホテルのピックアップからオニズカビジターセンターまで１時間くらいのドライブ中も、ハワイ島に生息する植物や動物のお話もとても楽しく、スタッフの方のお気づかいを感じました。
途中、溶岩台地も車から降りて撮影したり、到着までも十分楽しく過ごせました。
オニズカビジターセンター到着後にいただいたお弁当とおみそ汁も美味しかったです。
トイレについては、場所やタイミングも説明どおりに行っておくといいと思います。（適切にアドバイスしてくださいます）
山頂でも風もなくお天気に恵まれ、すばらしいサンセットでした。実は同行した子供（１３歳）が体調がすぐれず心配でしたが、ガイドさんのケアや持参されていた酸素ボトルも使わせていただいたりしました。大変お世話になりました。酸素吸引も初体験でした！！
寒い中でのサンセット＆星空観測でしたが、用意されてあったウエアのおかげで温かく（他のツアーの方はズボンの貸し出しがない方もいたようです）快適に過ごせました。
星空観測では、ガイドさんのお話も丁寧で分かりやすく楽しかったです。温かい紅茶やクッキーも嬉しかった！　星の説明の途中も何度も流れ星が見られて、感動がいっぱいのツアーでした。参加して本当によかったです。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour <Reflecting Telescope> by Masashi Nature School / Recommended Plan マウナケア山頂サンセット＆星空観測ツアー＜反射望遠鏡＞byマサシネイチャースクール/おすすめプラン

Reviewed by: ウエノツギオ

I participated in a tour led by Mr. Matsuzaki on January 16, 2016. To put it simply, it was "the best." I don't think I've ever experienced a tour that was this enjoyable. The guide's humorous explanations and guidance made it a memorable experience, and I would love to participate again. This time it was a crescent moon, which was a bit bright, but next time I would like to join during the new moon, guided by Mr. Matsuzaki.

2016年1月16日にMatsuzakiさんによるツアーに参加しました。結論から言いますと”最高”でした。今回ほど楽しく過ごすことが出来たツアーは経験がないのではないでしょうか。ガイドさんのユーモアを交えた説明や案内、何度でも参加したいと思います。今回は三日月で少し明るかったですが、次回は新月の時に参加したいと思います、Matsuzakiさんのガイドで。

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

Very satisfying panorama. 大満足なパノラマ

Reviewed by: Tomo

It was a 7:00 AM flight. Since I was staying at Mauna Lani, I chose a tour from Waikoloa, which was a bit pricey. The departure was just as the sunrise was happening, and the view of the sunrise from Mauna Kea was spectacular. The pilot was very kind, and we could see the lava and waterfalls up close from any seat. The guide spoke English and explained everything very clearly. The 1 hour and 40 minutes flew by. It’s tough to wake up early, but there’s a shuttle service to the hotel, and you can make the most of your day, so I highly recommend it. It’s a bit expensive, but I’m glad I decided to participate. I was very satisfied.

朝一番の7:00のフライトでした。マウナラニに泊まっていたので、少々高いのですがワイコロアからのツアーにしました。朝日が丁度昇る頃の出発だったので、マウナケアから昇る朝日が見事でした。パイロットの方がとても親切で、どの座席からも溶岩や滝を間近で見ることができました。ガイドも英語でしたが、とても分かりやすく話してくれました。1時間４０分があっという間でした。朝一番は大変ですが、ホテルまで送迎がありますし、その日を有意義ぬ使えるので、とてもオススメだと思います。チョットお高いですが、思い切って参加してよかったです。大満足でした。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ 　2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察！＜12～3月／軽食付き／英語ガイド／カイルアコナ発＞

Full of impact!! 迫力満点！！

Reviewed by: sakitey

I was quite moved when the whale suddenly appeared on the surface, even though it didn't show itself for a while!
The guide spoke in English, so I couldn't catch everything, but just being rocked by the large boat and looking at the vast ocean was very soothing.
We participated as a family with children, and it was great that the kids' tickets were free.

なかなか姿を見せてくれませんでしたが、突然クジラが水面に現れた時はとても感動しました！
ガイドが英語なので全ての内容は聞き取れませんでしたが、大きな船に揺られ、広い海を見ているだけでとても癒されます。
子連れ家族で参加しましたが、子供料金無料だったのが良かったです。

Aaaaamazing!

An unforgettable experience! Viewing flowing lava burning trees, the spots where the lava begins to flow, the breathtaking coastline of the Big Island with its many waterfalls, humpback whales from overhead, and the wonders of the island with the unbelievable views of every hue in the ocean's water= memories that will last a lifetime! Add a fabulous staff and the best pilot ever, and that's what you can expect.

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 recommend it! おすすめです！

Reviewed by: おかあさん

We participated in a company trip with a group of six. The guide was a nice guy who spoke fluent Japanese and had an entertaining way of talking. During the journey to Mauna Kea, he frequently scheduled breaks and time for commemorative photos. He took pictures of each group with a good camera and provided a service where the photos would later be available for download on a blog.

The bento we had during the break was unexpectedly Japanese food. It wasn't extremely delicious, but eating together at a picnic table in the great nature of Hawaii made it taste much better.

As we climbed to the summit, the air became thinner and the temperature dropped, making me worry about altitude sickness, but I was fine. I heard that if you fall asleep in the car after reaching a high altitude, the risk of altitude sickness increases... It was tough to fight off the drowsiness.

The sea of clouds and sunset from the summit were very beautiful! To be able to drive up a mountain higher than Mount Fuji and see such a wonderful view was a great memory. The starry sky on the day we participated had strong moonlight, making it a bit difficult to see the stars. Still, with the guide's rich knowledge of constellations, we enjoyed it thoroughly.

While some people might go by rental car, the roads near the summit are quite rough. I think it was a good decision to leave it to the experienced guide for a safe and enjoyable tour. Thank you, Sue!

社員旅行６名グループで参加させていただきました。
ガイドさんは日本語ぺらぺらでトークもおもしろいナイスガイ。
マウナケアまでの道中も度々休憩と記念撮影用に時間を設けてくれます。ガイドさんは良いカメラでグループ毎に写真を撮ってくれるし、後にダウンロード可能な状態でブログに掲載してくれるというサービス付きです。
休憩時にいただいたお弁当は何故か日本食でした。すごく美味しい！というものではありませんでしたが(笑)、ハワイの大自然の中ピクニックテーブルでみんなで食べているというマジックでとても美味しく感じました。

山頂に登るに連れ、空気が薄くなり気温も下がり、高山病にならないか心配でしたが、大丈夫でした。標高が高くなって以降に車内で寝てしまうと高山病のリスクが高まるらしいです…その眠気と闘うことが大変でした。
山頂から見る雲海、夕陽はとても綺麗です！
富士山より高い山に車でラクラクと登り、素晴らしい景色を観ることができるなんて！とても良い思い出になりました。
星空は我々が参加した日は月明かりの強い日で、少し星が見えづらい様子。それでも、星座の知識豊富なガイドさんの説明もあり、十分楽しめました。
レンタカーで自力で行く人もいるようですが、山頂付近はかなりの悪路です。経験豊富なガイドさんにお任せして、安全に楽しく観光できよかったと思います。
スーさん、ありがとう！

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

A thrilling boat trip in nature. 大自然とスリリングな船旅

Reviewed by: Seiichi Taniguchi

On that day, we arrived early at the port with our rental car, and the office was already open, where a friendly woman at the reception welcomed us. With both of us excited for our first ocean rafting and snorkeling experience, the Captain Zodiac set off into the waves with the four of us, including an American couple. Captain Andy was easygoing and very approachable, making it hard to believe we had just met, as he shared various stories and jokes with us. Unfortunately, the sea was rough, and it felt like we could be thrown overboard if we didn't hold on tightly, but my wife seemed to be enjoying the thrill. Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and since we were beginners, we were excitedly searching for dolphins from the boat, while the American couple, being more experienced, swam happily around the dolphins. After that, we reached a calm bay where we could go snorkeling. Looking at the seabed, we saw various fish swimming gracefully, and it truly felt like we had come to the Big Island of Hawaii! Captain Andy provided sandwiches and fruit, and the meal enjoyed on the water was very delicious. As we headed back while looking at the shore from the boat, we spotted a whale in the distance, and everyone let out excited cheers. The waves were still high, and the wind was strong, making it feel like we were on a roller coaster the whole time. To be honest, by the end, I was tired, but when we arrived at the port, I felt a sense of relief at our safe arrival and wanted to thank Captain Andy for the thrilling boat trip and the opportunity to enjoy the great nature of the Big Island!

その日はレンタカーで早めに港に着いたが、事務所はすでに開いていて、受付の女性がフレンドリーに迎えてくれました。初めてのオーシャンラフティングとシュノーケリングに夫婦そろって期待が高まる中、キャプテン・ゾディアック号はアメリカ人夫婦と私達の４名を乗せ波の中に出発したのです。キャプテンのアンディーは気さくで非常に親しみやすく初めて会ったとは思えないほど、ジョークを交えいろいろな話をしてくれました。あいにく海は荒れていて、しっかりとつかまっていないと海に放り出されてしまいそうでしたが、妻はのそスリルを楽しんでいる様子でした。途中イルカの群れに遭遇したが、我々は初心者だったので船上から感激してイルカを探し、アメリカ人夫婦は経験者だったので楽しそうにイルカの周りを泳いでいました。その後静かな湾に着いてシュノーケリングをすることができました。海底を見ると色々な魚が群れをなして優雅に泳いでいて　まさにハワイ島に来た！という実感を味わえました。キャプテンがサンドイッチやフルーツを出してくれて、海の上で食べる食事はとてもおいしかったです。ボートから岸を見ながら帰途に就いたが、遠くにクジラも見つけみんな感激の雄叫びをあけていました。波は相変わらず高く風も強くてまるでジェットコースターにずーっと乗っているようで、正直なところ最後の方は疲れたけれど、港に着いた時は無事到着した安心感と同時にキャプテン・アンディーにスリリングな船旅とハワイ島の大自然を満喫させてもらいありがとう！
