Unique to the Big Island of Hawaii. ハワイ島ならでは

Reviewed by: ミイー

I have a fear of heights, so I was hesitant at first, but I'm really glad I participated. I was able to enjoy the ocean, islands, volcanoes, and valleys from angles I had never seen before. Especially around the volcano, I could feel the heat from the ground, which I think is a unique experience of the Big Island. I definitely want to participate again!

高所恐怖症でもあるので最初は迷っていたのですが、参加して本当によかったです。見たことのないアングルで海や島、火山や谷を楽しむことができました。特に火山周辺では足もとから熱も感じることができて、これはハワイ島ならではの体験だったとおもいます。また是非とも参加したいです！

We had some concerns about the altitude and cold weather due to our age as a couple in our 50s, but thanks to the thoughtful and friendly guides, those worries were unfounded, and we were able to enjoy the best sunset and starry sky.

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

A fun time 楽しい時間

Reviewed by: ピロちゃん

I had seen Waipi'o Valley from above, but next time, I definitely want to ride through the valley, as my husband hopes. We were a Japanese couple among the foreign participants. It was a fun time, leisurely riding through the forest and sometimes splashing across the river. When a foreigner spurred their horse, mine reacted and charged into the river at an incredible speed—it was truly surprising! Since it was my second time riding, I held onto the reins tightly, worried about letting go, and I was relieved that nothing happened. (My husband was also worried he might fall off!) Next time, a buggy ride sounds interesting too!

ワイピオ渓谷を上から眺めた事は有ったけど、次回は是非渓谷を乗馬でと言う主人の希望で参加外国人の方達に日本人のカップルと私達夫婦でした。
林の中をゆったりと時には川もザブザブと渡りながらの楽しい時間でした。
外国人の方が自分の馬をけしかけ、それに私の乗った馬が反応し、すごい勢いで川に突進して
いった時は本当にビックリ！二度目の乗馬だったので、手綱を離すものかと握りしめ何事も
無くてホッとしましたが。（主人も落馬するかとヒヤッとしたそうです！）
次回はバギーも面白そう！

I was moved by the sight of Earth's shadow for the first time! 初めて見た地球の影に感動！

Reviewed by: よなが

The young guides took a lot of photos for us. The service that allows you to download photos from the blog later is really great!

We experienced so many wonderful colors of the Earth, like the rainbow we saw from the car, the sunset from the mountain top, the shadow of the Earth and the rainbow-colored gradient sky that can only be seen just after the sun sets, and finally, the starry sky and the moon...

I had a happy time listening to the explanation of the constellations while lying on the ground. It was very helpful that they pointed out the stars with a laser, making it easy to understand their positions.

They also provided a telescope, and after seeing Jupiter with its two lines and its surrounding satellites, I was thrilled to see the moon with its clearly visible craters. Next time, if I have the opportunity to participate, I would like to join during a time when there are many stars visible with less moonlight.

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii. My nephew, who participated with me, is saying he wants to go back to the Big Island. I'm sure it has become an unforgettable memory.

Thank you very much to all the guides.

若いお二人のガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくださいました。
後日、ブログから写真がダウンロードできるというサービスはとても良いですね！

車の中から見た虹、山頂から見た夕日、日が沈んが直後にだけ見ることのできる地球の影と虹色グラデーションの空、そして最後に見た星空と月・・・。本当にいろいろな素晴らしい地球の色を体感させていただきました。

地面に寝っ転がりながら星座の説明を聞かせていただき幸せな時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
レーザーで指し示していただいたので星の位置がわかり大変よかったと思います。

望遠鏡も用意していただき、2筋のラインが入った木星と木星の周りの衛星を見た後、クレーターのはっきり見える月を見て感激しました。
次回、参加する機会があったら月の光が少ない星がたくさん見える時期に参加したいと思います。

I was really looking forward to going to the Big Island, but I ended up getting altitude sickness and caused some trouble. It seems that many people with weaker bodies can have their health affected by the sudden high altitude, even by car. The weather was bad, but when I reached the summit, I was able to see a magnificent sea of clouds and a sunset. The lunch was also delicious. Thank you very much.

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

Refreshing! 爽快！

Reviewed by: のもてぃ

We participated as a family in mid-March. To enter the Waipi'o Valley, you can go by car, horse-drawn carriage, four-wheeler, or horseback. Since our child wasn't old enough to drive a buggy, we chose to ride horses. It was our family's first horseback riding experience, lasting about two hours, and we were able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The weather was great, making it a perfect day.

After checking in, we browsed some nearby souvenirs until it was time to depart. First, we took a large 4WD van from the top of the valley down to the horse stable office. This road was quite steep, and it seemed like only a 4WD could make it up. At one point, the vehicle almost got stuck while crossing a small river.

Two hours of horseback riding felt just right. Any longer, and I think my backside would have been in pain. There were nine participants in total: three from Europe and America, two from Asia, and our family of four. The instructions were in English, but surprisingly, the basics of handling the horse were easy enough for children to understand. There was also a discussion about helmets, and since they weren't required by the waiver, the kids were fine without them. Our family was very satisfied with our first horseback riding experience. It was exhilarating to have the horse move according to our will. At first, I was so focused on handling the horse that I didn't notice the scenery, but as I got used to it, I was able to fully enjoy the deep nature of Waipi'o.

I was surprised to learn that there are people living at the bottom of the valley. The instructor mentioned that she lived there as a child and commuted to school from there every day. She said her grandmother still lives there. Occasionally, we saw people walking, and greeting them from horseback made me feel a bit important, which was nice (laughs).

The price was reasonable, and we joined from Kona, enjoying the drive along the way. I highly recommend this tour. It was also great to see the buildings from the movie "Honeymoon in Hawaii" in the nearby town of Honokaa.

By the way, the horse I rode, named Paul, was a bit of a troublemaker. I think he probably got scolded the most by the instructor. It wasn't my riding skills, I swear—probably (laughs).

3月中頃に家族で参加してきました。
ワイピオの渓谷内に踏み入るには、車か馬車か4輪バギーか馬。
子供がバギーを運転できる年齢ではなかったので馬にしました。
約二時間の家族4人初乗馬体験でしたが安心して楽しめました。
天気も良く、最高の一日となりました。

受付を済ませ、近接したお土産物を見ているうちに出発時間。
まずは大きな４ＷＤのバンで渓谷の上から下の馬小屋事務所まで。
この道もすごい崖で4WD以外はちょっと登れなくなりそう。
途中、小さな川を渡るときも車がはまりかけました。

乗馬の2時間もちょうどいいかな。これ以上だとお尻が悲鳴をあげそうです。
参加人数は、9人でした。内欧米人が3人、アジア系が2人と我が家の4名。
説明は英語でしたが意外と基本の馬の扱いは簡単で、子供でも乗り方は十分理解できます。
何度か話題になってるヘルメットも誓約書に要らないとすれば子供もかぶらずにOKでしたよ。
初めての乗馬に家族も大満足。馬が自分の意思どおりに動くのは快感です。
前半は馬の扱いに夢中で景色に気が回りませんでしたが、慣れてくるとワイピオの深い大自然を堪能できました。

びっくりしたのは渓谷の下にも住んでいる人がいること。
インストラクターのお姉さんも子供のころは渓谷の下に住んでいて毎日そこから学校に
通っていたそうです。おばあちゃんは今でも住んでるって言ってた。
たまに歩いてる人がいるんだけど、馬の上から挨拶するとちょっと自分が偉くなったようで
気分がよかったです(笑)

お値段も安いし、KONAから参加したんですが途中のドライブもいい感じだし、
お勧めのツアーですね。
近くにあるホノカア（昔、ホノカアボーイという映画の舞台になった）の町で
映画の建物を見れたのも良かったです。

ちなみに私が乗ったポールという馬はちょっと暴れん坊でした。
たぶんインストラクターのお姉さんに一番怒られてたんじゃないかな。
私の乗馬の技術のせいではないですよ～、たぶん(笑)

One of the things I want to try in Hawaii!
I highly recommend it to everyone!

It's been decades since I last went into the ocean (laughs). No need to worry, it's all good.
Even if you can't swim well, they will guide you to the points.
Thanks to the attentive care of the staff, I was able to meet the dolphins.

It seems that there was a massive occurrence that day (is that the right expression?)...
Daisuke and the staff said, "Don't expect to see this many dolphins all the time. It's a rare day when this happens a few times a year!"
It was a series of great excitement.
I was thrilled to see the dolphins dancing and even flying above the water's surface (about 2 meters away)!
I wished I could swim freely.
I was also able to hear the dolphins' calls.

Thank you, Daisuke, YUKO, and all the staff for this wonderful encounter.

I was told that the ship had already departed when I arrived at Ticket Street at 2 PM. I was surprised. The receptionist felt sorry and changed my reservation to a dinner cruise starting later that night, but it was a few hours later, and since I wanted to go whale watching, it felt like a waste. It was disappointing.

ここは、チケット通りの午後2時に行ったら、何んと船が出港済みですと言われました。びっくりでした。受付の人が気の毒がって、夜からスタートのディナークルーズに変えてくれましたが、数時間後スタートであり、且つ、自分が行きたかったのはホエールウォッチだったので、無駄にしました。残念でした。

A must-visit at least once! 一度は行くべき!

Reviewed by: TANI

The main purpose of this trip was the "Sunset & Stargazing at the Summit of Mauna Kea." Although I had heard various stories from those who have been there, the incredible experience can only be truly understood by seeing it with your own eyes and experiencing it with your own body!

We planned our trip to coincide with the "new moon." (I later heard that it’s not something to worry too much about.)

Since we would be driving on mountain roads, if you are prone to motion sickness, motion sickness medication is a must-have item. They provide warm clothing, but it might also be good to bring a portable hand warmer. The bento was delicious, and having warm drinks like miso soup and cocoa was a nice touch!

During the star explanation, I was looking up for so long that my neck started to hurt (laughs). Seeing others lying down made me think I should have done that from the start. The explanations with the laser pointer were very clear and helpful.

Thank you, Mr. Konno and Stefan!

I have done stargazing before, but this was the best. The guide, Ms. Ha, explained the stars with her extensive knowledge, making it easy to understand. First, we enjoyed the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds from the snowy mountaintop. I observed the mysterious colors of the sky with my own eyes. After it got dark, I looked up at the stars filling the sky, recalling the knowledge I learned in school, and we talked about constellations, the universe, and various topics. It was very cold, but thanks to my ski wear, I was completely warm. However, using the restroom at the mountaintop was quite a challenge with all the layers... I guess men wouldn't understand... I want to come back to Hawaii Island to see the summer constellations again.

今までにも、星空観測をしたことはあったけれど、ここは最高でした。
満点の星を、ガイドの葉さんが豊富な知識で説明してくださって、よく分かりました。
まず、雪景色の山頂で、雲海に沈む夕陽を観賞。
神秘的な空の色の移ろいを、自分の目でしっかりと観察。
暗くなってからは、空いっぱいに広がる星を見上げ、学校で習った知識を思い出しながら、星座、宇宙、もろもろの話へと。
とても寒かったけれど、防寒は、スキーウェア上下のおかげで完全でした。ただ、山頂でのトイレは、着ぶくれしていて大変でした…男性には分からないだろうけれど…
夏の星座を見に、またハワイ島に来たくなりました。

Hawaii Zipline Tours - Big Island Waterfall & Rainforest Zip Adventure

Great experience, great group of people (Eco)

Reviewed by: Robert

The zipline trip was a lot of fun. The views were great. Zipping over or past a couple of waterfalls was cool.
We happened to be there when the owners/bosses were out trying some new things. They took time to talk to us and genuinely solicited feedback that would make this and other tours more enjoyable. They were as friendly and personable as our excellent guides, Tim and Nainoa, jumping in to take photos, check on us to make sure we were having a good time, and to provide local information. Sure, they want more business, but also wanted to make sure we had enough fun that we would be repeat business as well. I'm sold. I highly recommend this zip for anyone looking to have some fun and excitement, see some cool scenery, and chat with a couple of locals.
If you go in realizing this is not constant action, you will enjoy this trip. Remember, it does take time to clip and unclip a group of people, one by one. But, take this time to talk to the guides and other members of the group, and those wait times pass by quickly...plus, you can get some fun stories or facts from the guides. Several of the stops have great views, as well.

After several years, there was nearly one meter of snowfall at the summit, and access to the area had been restricted until the day of the tour, which was fortunate. Moreover, it turned out to be a mild day for winter. At the snow-covered summit, there were a few brave souls enjoying snowboarding. From the summit, where you can even see Maui in the distance, the sunset changed its expression moment by moment, visible beyond the observatory. The starry sky was, of course, magnificent, and I hope to see the summer Milky Way and constellations on my next visit.

数年ぶりに山頂に1メートル近い積雪があり、前日まで山頂付近には入山ができなかったが、ツアーの当日から入山が可能になるという幸運。しかも冬としては穏やかな日になりました。積雪で一面の雪景色の山頂ではスノーボードを楽しむ猛者もチラホラ。遠くマウイ島も見える山頂から刻一刻と表情を変える夕日が天文台の彼方に望むことができました。星空は言うまでもなく素晴らしく、次回に訪れる時には夏の天の川と星座を見たいです。

Reviewed by: J.O

We set sail on the Zodiac and within less than 20 minutes, we unexpectedly encountered a family of whales. It was an astonishing surprise when a baby whale swam beneath the boat, and both the participants and the guide were thrilled. We could even hear their calls through the underwater microphone. After playing with the whales for about 30 minutes, we moved the boat forward for about 10 minutes and encountered another family of whales. It was an unexpected experience. After finishing snorkeling in the beautiful sea with Captain Cook's monument, a large pod of dolphins appeared, swimming around the boat, and we lost track of time as we all cheered together. It’s rare to have such encounters with whales and dolphins, but we had an unexpected experience, making it a wonderful tour.

ソディアック号で出港して20分足らずで何と鯨の家族とバッタリ遭遇。子鯨がボートの下で泳ぐというビックリするようなハプニングで参加者はじめガイドさんも大興奮。水中マイクで鳴き声まで聞けました。30分程鯨と遊んでから10分ほどボートを進めると別な鯨の家族と遭遇。思いがけない体験ができました。キャプテンクックのモニュメントがある綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングを終えると今度はイルカの大群が現れボートの周辺を泳ぎ、時を忘れて皆で歓声を上げました。今回ほど鯨やイルカと会えることは珍しいとのことですが、思いかけない体験ができ、素晴らしいツアーになりました。

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＞

The best activity to fully enjoy the ocean of Hawaii Island! ハワイ島の海を満喫するなら最高のアクティビティ！

Reviewed by: bayapbayap

We participated as a couple in our 30s with our 4-year-old son. This was our first time on the Big Island, and we were looking for activities to fully enjoy the ocean there. Since this activity allowed children aged 4 and up, we made a reservation right away.

Before getting on the boat, I was a bit worried about whether my 4-year-old would be safe and not fall off, but he was able to sit on a platform in the middle of the boat, resting his feet on my wife's legs, so there was no worry of him being thrown off. (He did bounce around a bit when the boat hit waves, but it seemed like he enjoyed that!) The captain, along with a female staff member and her child, was very attentive to our son throughout the trip. During snorkeling, my wife and I initially took turns looking after our son on the boat while the other snorkeled, but at one point, the captain said, "I'll watch the child, so you two go ahead," which allowed my wife and me to enjoy snorkeling together, and we were very grateful for that. They also provided a child-sized float (with a transparent center so he could see underwater), but our son didn't want to go into the water and didn't use it. I think even those with small children can participate without too much worry.

Here’s a summary of the activity we participated in. There were a total of seven of us, including two American couples (in their 40s) and us. We departed from the harbor and first saw a pod of dolphins near the harbor. We were able to see countless dolphins up close, which was already an emotional experience! After that, we sped out to the whale observation spot. Rafting while taking in the magnificent scenery of the Big Island was simply amazing! Later, we spotted a pod of whales while cruising and were able to observe them closely. My son was thrilled, exclaiming, "I saw the whale's face!" Later, we learned from a local that this year is a particularly good year for whales.

Next, we headed south to the bay with the Captain Cook monument for snorkeling. This spot is famous for snorkeling, and there were several other snorkeling boats already anchored there. We were able to observe a wide variety of tropical fish up close, which explains why it’s a popular snorkeling spot! Lunch on the boat consisted of homemade chicken sandwiches, snacks, and juice. The sandwiches were truly delicious (I ended up eating two after the captain recommended them). The snacks made our son very happy, and thanks to that, he waited patiently on the boat without fussing. We had about an hour and a half of snorkeling time, which was very satisfying.

Afterward, we returned to the harbor while touring the magnificent cliffs shaped by volcanic activity and ocean waves, with the captain providing explanations. During this time, he also entertained us with sharp turns and jumps of the boat.

Here are some points to note based on our experience. All conversations were in English. Even with limited English, we could communicate our needs and understand the captain, so there were no issues participating in the activity. However, the explanations about the ecology of dolphins and whales, as well as about Captain Cook and the cliffs (which I believe were about the goddess Pele) were all in English, so I couldn't catch everything with my limited understanding. Personally, I was very satisfied with the experience even without the explanations.

Also, to take photos, a waterproof camera is essential. When boarding the boat, we had to gather our belongings at the front, and it wasn't easy to grab them quickly when we spotted dolphins or whales. One couple brought their iPhone in a waterproof pouch hanging around their neck and also had an underwater instant camera. We regretted not bringing ours as well.

I truly believe that the content we received for this price offers excellent cost performance. We had an amazing time!

30代夫婦と4歳の長男で参加しました。
初ハワイ島でハワイ島の海を満喫できるアクティビティを探していたのですが、丁度4歳以上で参加可となっていましたので、即予約いたしました。
ボートに乗るまでは4歳の子供だとボートから振り落とされないかな？と不安もあったのですが、ボートの真ん中の台のような場所で、妻が伸ばした足の上に乗るかたちで座らせてもらえ、振り落とされる心配もありませんでした。（ボートがバウンドする際はぴょんぴょん跳ねてましたが笑、それも楽しんでいたようです）
また、キャプテン（と同乗の女性スタッフとそのお子さん）も、子供のことを終始気にかけていただき、シュノーケリングの際には、最初は私か妻がボート上で子供の世話をし、順番にシュノーケリングしていたのですが、途中でキャプテンが「子供を見ていてあげるから二人で行っておいで」と言っていただき、妻と二人でシュノーケリングを楽しむことができ非常に助かりました。子供用のビート板状の浮き具（真ん中が透明になっていて海の中が見える）も出していただいたのですが、子供が海に入るのを嫌がり使いませんでした。小さいお子さんがおられる方でも、比較的心配なさらずに参加いただけると思います。

今回参加した際のアクティビティの内容です。
同乗の方はアメリカ人のご夫婦二組（40代くらい？）と私たちの計7名でした。
港を出発してまずは港近くのポイントでイルカの群れを見ました。数え切れないくらいのイルカを間近で見ることができこの時点で感動！です。その後、ボートを沖まで走らせ鯨の観察スポットまで移動します。ハワイ島の雄大な景色を横目に見ながらのラフティングは最高に気持いい！の一言。その後、5回ほどボートを走らせている途中で鯨の群れを発見して間近で観察しました。これには長男も「鯨さんの顔が見えた！」と感動していました。後ほど、現地の方に聞いたところでは今年は鯨の当たり年だそうです。そして、ボートを南へ走らせ、キャプテンクック碑のある湾へ移動してシュノーケリングです。ここは有名なシュノーケーリングスポットらしく、他にも何隻かシュノーケリングのボートがすでに停泊していました。かなりの種類の熱帯魚を間近で観察することが出来るので、シュノーケリングスポットになっているのも納得！です。ボート上でのランチは手作りのチキンサンドイッチとスナック、ジュースでした。サンドイッチは本当においしかったです（キャプテンに勧められるがまま２つも食べてしまいました）。スナックは子供が大喜びで、これのおかげかボート上で待っている間もグズることなく大人しく待っていてくれました。シュノーケリングの時間は1時間半くらいはあって大満足です。
その後、火山の活動と海の波が作り出した洞窟のように削られた雄大な岸壁をキャプテンの解説付きで巡りながら港まで戻ります。その間もボートを急旋回やジャンプさせたりして楽しませてくれました。

以下、参加した上での注意点です。
基本的に全ての会話は英語です。片言レベルでもこちらの要求を伝えることや、キャプテンとの意思疎通は出来るので、アクティビティへの参加という点では問題ありませんが、途中、イルカやクジラの生態の解説、キャプテンクックや岸壁（火神ペレのことだったと思う）の解説は全て英語ですので、片言レベルでは聞き取ることができませんでした。個人的には解説がなくても体験だけでも大満足でした。
あと、写真を撮るためには、防水対策をしたカメラが必須です。荷物はボートに乗り込む際にボート前方に纏めておくのですが、イルカや鯨を発見したときにすぐに取り出すことができません。同乗したご夫婦は、iPhoneを防水パックにいれて首からぶら下げておられ、また水中用のインスタントカメラを持参されておられました。我々も持参すれば良かった、と少し後悔しました。

この価格でこの内容は本当にコストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。
本当に楽しかったです！！

We were hesitant to do this because we had never been in a helicopter, but WOW. So glad we did!! Awesome views of the volcano. Pilot (Jeremy) was very knowledgable and made the experience very interesting. He was very professional and skilled with the operation of the helicopter. An experience we will never forget!! Highly recommended!!

It was the best experience. 最高の体験でした。

The sunset from 4,000 meters was breathtaking. The alpenglow after sunset was also mystical.
The lunch at the relay point, along with the miso soup, was delicious.
Thank you, guide Ha-san! (^^)!
P.S. I was able to borrow a warm jacket, but it's necessary to prepare for the cold.

４０００ｍから沈む夕日は圧巻でした。日没後のアルペングローも神秘的でした。
中継地点でのお弁当、みそ汁もついて美味しかったです。
ガイドの葉さんありがとう!(^^)!
ＰＳ　防寒ジャケット上下借りれましが寒さ対策必要です。
