This was a great little kayak tour. The guides were absolutely awesome (don't remember their names). We were hoping to see a few more sea caves/lava tubes, and thought we might be able to go in them. We only got to take a look at one sea cave, and we just paddled up to it and looked. The snorkeling was good, and the cliff jump was awesome as well. Well worth the money!

At first, I was worried about whether it would be okay for older people to participate in stargazing at an altitude of 4,200 meters. However, thanks to the thoughtful explanations and guidance from our guide, Mr. Konno, being able to observe such a wonderful starry sky became a lifelong memory. If you are traveling to the Big Island, I highly recommend joining the tour at "Masashi Nature School." Thank you very much, Mr. Konno! I hope to see you again, so please don't forget "Noda"...
初めは、4200mの高山での星空観測に年寄りが参加しても大丈夫かとの不安がありました。しかし、ガイドの今野さんの気配りのある説明や指導で「あのような素晴らしい星空を観測できたこと」は、一生の思い出となりました。もしこれからハワイ島へご旅行の方は、是非とも「マサシネーチャースクール」のツアーに参加して下さいね。今野さん本当に有難うございました!またお会いしたいと思っていますので「野田」をお忘れなく・・・

I'm so glad I was able to participate in the long-awaited tour to the summit of Mauna Kea at 4,200 meters!
I was worried about the cold, but this tour provides warm clothing, hats, and gloves, so there were no problems at all!
The air is thin at the summit, which can be a bit uncomfortable and cold, but the breathtaking views make you forget all that! The stunning sunset will be etched in your memory!
After sunset, you can see an amazing starry sky. I saw the Milky Way and the Southern Cross so clearly for the first time!
The guide also provides detailed explanations about the stars, making it so enjoyable that you lose track of time.
With this tour, you can download photos taken by the guide from the website at any time. You can also view them, so you can share them with your friends anytime. I think it's a very generous service!
The guide was wonderful too! I definitely recommend participating in this tour! I don't think you'll regret it!
念願だった4200メートルのマウイケア山頂のツアーに参加出来てとても良かったです!
寒さの心配がありましが、こちらのツアーは上下の防寒着、帽子、手袋を貸しての頂けるので、全く問題なしです!
山頂は空気が薄くて少しは苦しく寒いですが、そんな事を忘れる位の絶景です!
素晴らしい夕日が目に焼き付きますよ!
日が暮れたら、これまた素晴らしい星空を見る事が出来ます。
天の川に南十字星、こんなに綺麗に見れたのは初めてです!
ガイドさんが丁寧に星の説明もしてくれるので時間を忘れるくらい楽しめます。
こちらのツアーでは、ガイドさんが撮ってくれた写真をホームページからいつでもダウンロードできます。
閲覧する事も出来るので、友達にもいつでも見てもらえます。
とても良心的なサービスだと思います!
ガイドさんも素晴らしいです!
是非、こちらのツアーで参加してみてください!後悔は無いと思います♪
Dear Mamimami,
Thank you very much for your warm and heartfelt comment. Our guides are not only skilled in photography but also excel at jumping! (laughs) Sometimes, we get so caught up in taking photos that we end up returning to the hotel past midnight.
We hope you will come back to the Big Island next time. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.

I participated in mid-June. The day before, I went to the office to confirm my reservation and check the parking lot for the departure location, but the road from the parking lot to the office was under repair and was in the water. When confirming my reservation at the office, I was informed about a change in the parking lot. Since the communication was in English, it might have been unclear regarding the changed parking lot. The cruise was comfortable. There were no other Japanese people, but everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was disappointing due to the lack of fish, but there were fun activities like a slide to jump into the sea from the cruiser, which was enjoyable. The BBQ was delicious, and we were able to relax and take our time.
6月の中旬に参加しました。
前日、予約確認と出航場所の駐車場確認に事務所まで行くと、駐車場から事務までの道が修理で海の中。事務所で予約確認の際、駐車場の変更を言われました。英語でのやり取りなので電話で予約確認をしていたら、変更された駐車場がわかりづらかったかもしれません。クルーズは快適です。日本人は誰もいませんでしたが、皆、フレンドリーでした。シュノーケリングは残念ながら魚が少なかったので期待はずれでしたが、クルーザから海に飛び込む滑り台など、遊ぶ配慮
があり、面白かったです。BBQも美味しくゆっくり出来ました。

I signed up at the last minute and was able to participate just before reaching the maximum capacity. It was a wonderful experience to see so many wild dolphins! The guide, Daisuke, playing with the dolphins was impressive and moving! I think his feelings for the dolphins really came through. I was also healed by the sounds of the dolphins and their jumping on the water's surface. ♡ Additionally, the person I was with on the tour praised the manta rays, so I would like to go see them next time!
急遽前日に申し込み、定員ギリギリのところ参加させてもらいました。

I participated in this activity because I wanted to safely enjoy the unique marine activities that Hawaii Island has to offer. Although you need to get to the location, we arrived in about 40 minutes from Mauna Lani by rental car. It's easy to find, using the blue roof of the marina as a landmark. The reception is in English, but there were no issues, and we could relax while waiting for departure, greeted by the welcoming dog.
We were first given a sheet with important points and sightseeing tips in Japanese, which helped us understand the tour's content. Everyone else was from English-speaking countries, but we were able to bond with a few simple greetings. We sped across the ocean for about an hour to the snorkeling point. They say we were going about 40 kilometers per hour, but it felt like we were cruising at around 80 kilometers per hour, which was quite thrilling.
At the snorkeling point, the captain provided a detailed explanation on how to wear the mask and use the snorkel. My wife was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water, but wearing a life jacket and borrowing a floating board helped her feel safe and enjoy the experience. The snorkeling spot was filled with beautiful coral and tropical fish, and we never got tired of the view.
Onboard, we enjoyed light snacks, including fruits and sandwiches that the captain kindly prepared. On the way back, we enjoyed another refreshing cruise while exploring caves! After snorkeling, it's easy to get cold, so it's better to bring a large bath towel, and since the sun is intense, sunscreen is definitely necessary. I think it's a good idea to bring a camera as it won't get wet.
ハワイ島で安全に楽しめ、かつハワイ島ならではの海のアクティビティが経験したくてこちらのアクティビティに参加しました。こちらは現地まで行く必要がありますが私達はレンタカーでマウナラニから約40分で到着しました。マリーナの青い屋根を目印に簡単に到着する事が出来ます。受け付けは英語ですが特に問題はなく看板犬のお出迎えで癒されながら出発を待つ事が出来ます。最初に日本語の注意点と観光のポイントが書かれたシートを渡されツアーの内容を知る事ができます。私達以外は皆英語圏の人でしたが最初のカタコトの挨拶で打ち解ける事が出来ました。シュノーケリングポイントまで1時間くらい海原を大疾走します。時速40キロくらいらしいのですが体感的には80キロくらいは出ているような迫力のあるクルージングが楽しめます。シュノーケリングポイントではキャプテンからマスクの被り方やシュノーケルの使い方など丁寧にレクチャーがあります。深い海でのシュノーケルを妻が不安に思っていましたがライフジャケットを身に付けさらにフローティングボードも借りる事で安心して楽しめたようです。シュノーケリングポイントは珊瑚と熱帯魚が素晴らしく見飽きる事はありません。船上での軽食も和気あいあいとキャプテンが切ってくれるフルーツやサンドイッチを楽しむ事ができます。帰りは洞窟巡りをしながらまた爽快なクルージングを楽しむ事ができました!シュノーケリングの後は体が冷えやすいので大き目のバスタオルを用意して行った方が良いのと日差しが強烈なので日焼け止めは必ず必要です。カメラは濡れないので持って行った方が良いと思います。

I wasn't really sure about rafting, but it turned out to be so much fun! So, we signed up for it as a pair. When we arrived at the site, we were greeted by a bright and cheerful female crew member, and as we headed to the boat, a cool captain was waiting for us, which got me excited.
Rafting was more intense than I expected, and the rubber boat tilted at about a 45-degree angle, which honestly took me by surprise! We had two snorkeling sessions, and there were also sights like Captain Cook Point and dolphin watching. Throughout it all, the crew member was smiling, and it was a rich experience within a relaxed atmosphere. During snorkeling, I got a bit carried away and jumped into the sea, accidentally dropping the pipe to the seabed, but when I saw the captain dive in coolly saying, "Leave it to me," I couldn't help but think, "Captain Kenway!"
Since it was a tour from morning until early afternoon, by the time we returned to the port, one side of my thighs was sunburned. I should have sat on the other side too, haha. I recommend applying sunscreen properly or bringing a large towel with you.
The T-shirts the crew wore were really cool, so my only regret is that I didn't buy one on the way back.
ラフティングってあまりピンとこなかったんだけど、楽しいから!って事で2人で申し込んだ。現地に着くと底抜けに明るいクルーの女性の挨拶があって船に向かうと渋い船長が待っていてワクワクした。
ラフティングは思ったよりも過激で、ゴムボートが45度ぐらい傾いたので正直面食らった!
シュノーケルが2回、キャプテン・クックポイントやイルカに釣り見物なんかもあったけど終始クルーの女の子が笑っていて、ゆったりとした時間の中で内容の濃い物だった。シュノーケルの時、調子に乗って海に飛び込んでパイプを海底に落としちゃったんだけど、船長が「俺に任せろ。」ってかっこよく飛び込んでくれたのを見た時は思わず「ケンウェイ船長!」って思ったよ。
朝からお昼過ぎまでのツアーなので港に帰るころには太ももが片側だけ焼けてしまった。反対側にも座れば良かったw しっかり日焼け止めを塗るか大きめのタオルを持って行く事をお勧めします。
クルーが着ていたTシャツがかなりかっこよかったので、帰りに買ってこなかったのが唯一の後悔です。

I had met dolphins in places like Ogasawara before, but the dolphins I met here were small and really cute! I had been really looking forward to rafting, and it was even more fun than I expected, with the boat tilting quite a bit! The captain and the female crew member were very friendly, which made it easy to relax. When we were heading to a point, my hat got blown away by the wind, but they laughed and quickly went back to get it.
We went to a snorkeling point, and they contacted a fishing boat that was trolling to show us the catch, and we got to see dolphins too. The experience was really rich and I was never bored. The second snorkeling point we went to was especially beautiful, warm, and relaxing, leaving a strong impression.
On the way back, we had another thrilling rafting experience, and Captain Cook also provided explanations, which was fun. The lunch, chips, and fruits we had on the boat were also delicious and felt very refreshing! I want to participate again!!
いままで小笠原とかでイルカに会えたけど、ここで会えたイルカさん達は小さかったからかわいかった!
前からラフティングに興味があってすっごく楽しみだったけど、予想以上に船が傾いたりしてすごく楽しかった! 船長さんと女性のクルーさんもすっごく気さくな感じでリラックスできた。ポイントに行く時に帽子を風で飛ばされちゃったんだけど、笑いながらガーって戻ってくれた。
シュノーケルのポイント行ったり、トローリングしてる釣り船に連絡してくれて釣り上げる所を見せてくれたり、イルカを見たり内容がすごく濃くて全然飽きなかった。特に2ヶ所目に行ったシュノーケルポイントがとっても綺麗で暖かくてのんびりできて印象的でした。
帰りはまたまたラフティングですっごくドキドキしたけどキャプテン・クックさんの説明なんかもしてくれて楽しかったです。
あと船の上で食べるランチやチップス、フルーツも開放感があってすごくおいしかった! また参加したいです!!

Thank you, Daisuke-san, our guide!
I heard that the dolphins were in a good mood on the day of our participation, and there were many dolphins that gathered at Daisuke-san's call! Just as Daisuke-san said, we were able to encounter them up close by simply waiting in their path instead of chasing them. Hearing their calls was incredibly soothing. It was moving.
The views of the Big Island and the ocean from the boat were also wonderful, making it a memorable tour.
When I come back to Hawaii, I would like to participate in the night manta tour.
Of course, I want to join the dolphin tour again too!
I truly appreciate both Daisuke-san and the captain.

Our kayaking trip was amazing! We were both first-timers, and our guide (Tori) did an excellent job explaining how to paddle, safety procedures, etc. if you're like me, you may be thinking, "You all say this is easy...but maybe you're just better at things than I am." Well, trust me: this is easy, fun, and wonderful. The trip was relaxing, and during the snorkeling part we saw lots of fish (yellow tang, parrot fish), an eel, and turtles. Once we got to the cliff and snack area, we also saw a mongoose! A note on the cliff: jump. Seriously, just do it. You will regret it if you don't.
In short, take this adventure! The staff are professional and friendly, and the activity itself is not to be missed. Thank you, Tori, for one of our favorite activities! You are awesome!

It was our first time on the Big Island for our honeymoon, and while researching about swimming with dolphins, I came across this tour. After reading other people's reviews, I decided to participate, and I was really impressed by how considerate they were towards my husband, who was worried about seasickness. It made me feel very reassured. Above all, our guide Daisuke's passion for the dolphins was truly strong! His feelings were contagious, and thanks to him, I understood the meaning of "quality over quantity." We were able to see the dolphins up close, and both my husband and I were extremely satisfied. The captain was friendly and fun, and it was great how he frequently checked in with us. If we ever go back to Hawaii, we would definitely like to do this again.

Thoughts on participating in this tour:
1. There are times when you find yourself surrounded by foreigners, which can feel a bit uncomfortable.
2. I dived three times in total, but during the third dive, the water was deeper, and I couldn't see the beautiful underwater scenery as well. By the second dive, I was quite tired, so I was already full from diving.
Although I wrote some not-so-fun things above, the beauty of the Hawaiian sea during the first and second dives, especially the first dive, is amazing if the weather is good! You can see fish up close, and the coral is right in front of you!
Also, even if you can't speak English, one of the guides can speak some Japanese, so you don't have to worry too much. However, the explanations about the locations are given on printed materials beforehand, and I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't understand the live explanations.
One thing I want to caution participants about is that before going out to sea, you will go to the restroom, but it takes quite a while to get back to the restroom from there. Also, there are times when you accidentally swallow seawater while snorkeling, and in that case, you might end up drinking a lot of water.
So, you might have trouble finding a restroom.
このツアーに参加して思ったこと
1、周りが外人だらけになる場合があり肩身が狭いことが結構あります。
2、計3回ダイブしましたが、三回目は海の震度が深い場所でそれほど綺麗な海の中を見ることができませんでした。そして二回目以降は結構疲れているので海にもぐるのはもうお腹いっぱいでした。
上記にはあまり楽しくないようなことを書きましたが、ハワイの海の綺麗さは一回目と二回目のダイブ、特に一回目のダイブは天気が良ければ最高です!!
魚は近くで見れるし、サンゴも目の前!
また、英語がしゃべれなくてもガイドの一人は多少の日本語も喋れるのでそれほど深く考える必要はありません。ただ、場所の説明などは事前にプリントしたもので配られるますが、生の声での説明がわからないのでそこだけ残念でした。
ただ参加する人に注意しておきたいことは、海に出る前にトイレに行きますが、そこからトイレの場所に戻るまで相当時間がかかるのと、シュノーケリング中に間違って海水を飲むことがあり、その場合に水を飲むことが多いです。
なのでトイレに困るかもしれません。

When the time for the pickup arrived, an American got out of the car. Before saying "HELLO," he spoke fluent Japanese, saying, "Your husband is in the passenger seat." That's right, Stefan is a Samurai Blue born in Japan.
The day before, the name of the hotel was different from the reservation, which was a yellow card. I informed them about my leg issues. "I'll let the driver know," came the cheerful response. America is friendly to people with disabilities. Compared to that, Japan is a bit disappointing.
After finishing the pickups at each hotel, we headed to the Onizuka Visitor Center. It took about two hours, but with Stefan's lively chatter, we arrived in no time. We received drinks, miso soup, and a bento box. The person in charge of distribution was Matsuzaki-san, who spoke in a strange Osaka dialect. I finished my meal while glancing at the bento boxes from other tours. It was delicious.
After that, we geared up completely with ski pants, warm clothing, hats, and gloves to head to the summit. By the way, only Nature School lends out ski pants.
We switched from 2WD to 4WD and headed onto Saddle Road. The natural massage made my legs feel lighter, maybe? We stopped along the way for photos.
Finally, the long-awaited Subaru Telescope came into view. Excited, I went outside. It was cold. We took commemorative photos with the Subaru Telescope in the background. Stefan. (I wish he had told me my hat was a bit askew.) (Why is it that the Matsuzaki team is holding a banner and taking commemorative photos?)
The sky changed moment by moment, creating a romantic sunset. It quickly became pitch dark after sunset. We decided to descend within 30 minutes.
We did some stargazing around 3,900 meters. Familiar constellations like the Big Dipper, Polaris, and Scorpius were visible. There were so many stars that I got confused. I also saw the Southern Cross. I was disappointed in my own knowledge, thinking it could only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. I saw Saturn's rings through a telescope. A cup of tea for a break.
Back to the Onizuka Visitor Center. Bathroom break. You must not sleep in the car on the round trip to the summit. If you sleep, you'll get altitude sickness.
On the way back to the hotel, I could have slept. But I couldn't because Stefan's Kamakura stories were so interesting. We arrived at the hotel after 11 PM.
It was long, but it was a valuable experience. (If I were younger, I would have jumped at the summit.)
Good job, Stefan. Go Samurai Blue in the World Cup! I'll cheer together with you.
当日ピックアップの時刻になり、車から降りてきたのはアメリカ人。「HELLO」と言う前に「旦那さんは助手席に」ペラペラな日本語。そうステファンは、日本生まれのサムライブルー。
前日、ステイホテル名が予約と違っていて、イエローカード。足が悪いことを伝える。「担当ドライバーに伝えておきます。」と明るい声。アメリカは障害者に優しい。それと比べると日本はトホホ。
各ホテルのピックアップを終了し、向かうは、オニズカ・ビジターセンター。2時間位かかったが、ステファンの軽快なおしゃべりで、あっと言う間に到着。飲み物と味噌汁と弁当をもらう。配布責任者は、妙な大阪弁のマツザキさん。他のツアーの弁当を横目で見ながら完食。美味しかった。
その後、スキーパンツ、防寒着、帽子、手袋の完全装備で山頂へ。因みに、スキーパンツまで貸してくれるのは、ネイチャースクールさんだけとの事。
2駆から4駆に切り替えサドルロードへ。自然のマッサージで、足が軽くなったかな?

記念撮影。ステファン。(ちょっと帽子がずれていると言ってくれれば良かったのに)(何故だ。マツザキチームは横断幕を持って、記念写真を撮っているのに)
刻々と大空が変化し、ロマンチックなサンセット。日没後は直ぐ真っ暗に。30分以内に下山が決まり事。
3900m付近で天体観測。北斗七星、北極星、さそり座等の日本でおなじみの星座。見えすぎてわからなくなった。南十字星も見た。南半球でしか見えないと思っていた自分の知識のなさにがっかり。土星のリングは天体望遠鏡で。紅茶で一服。
オニズカ・ビジターセンターへ。トイレ休憩。山頂までの往復の車中で、寝てはいけません。寝ると高山病になります。
ホテルへの帰りは寝れます。でも寝れませんでした。ステファンの鎌倉物語が面白くて。11時過ぎにホテル到着。
長かったけど貴重な体験だった。(若かったら山頂で、跳んでいただろう。)
GOOD JOB ステファン。W杯 サムライブルー 頑張れ。一緒に応援します。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day. I should have mentioned the knit hat when taking the photo with the Subaru telescope in the background. (But it was a very lovely photo.) It seems that Stefan is still enjoying soccer on his days off. I'm sure he is looking forward to the World Cup as well. If you have the opportunity, please consider using our tours again. Stefan, Matsuzaki, and all the staff are sincerely looking forward to seeing you again.

While flying, it was quiet, and I didn't feel scared at all; I could leisurely gaze at the mountains and the sea. The boat ride before flying was much more thrilling, haha. When I think about the height in terms of buildings, it can feel scary, but over the vast sea, there's no fear of height—just a mesmerizing view of the wide ocean and the grandeur around me.
飛んでいるあいだは静かで、怖さも感じず、のんびり山や海を眺めることができました。
飛ぶまで乗っているボートのほうが迫力満点でした 笑
高さをビルに換算すると怖い感じもしますが、広い海のうえでは、高さに対する怖さはなく、ただただ広い海や壮大な眺めにうっとりできます。

I had my grandmother, who has always wanted to ride a horse at least once, experience it. There were about ten people from overseas, and at first, she seemed quite anxious, but it seems her dream came true, which was great. She mentioned that she was a bit sore for a few days after getting off the horse.
一度でいいから馬に乗りたい!という祖母に体験してもらいました。10名程度の海外の方が一緒で最初は不安が強かったようですが夢かない良かったようです。馬を降りてしばらく数日筋肉痛?だったようですが。
