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

Milky Way and shooting stars 天の川と流れ星

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family of three. The car was full. The staff who provided the transportation was very good at talking, and we enjoyed ourselves during the ride. The miso soup in the bento during the break was delicious. It seemed that the conditions on the day we participated were good, and the temperature was a bit high. Still, it was quite cold at night without winter clothing. After getting off near the summit, we walked a little more to reach the top's cairn. It was my first summit!!! The altimeter indeed showed over 4000 meters. During the stargazing, we descended a bit to avoid disturbing the observatory. Since the moon was not out at that time, we were able to fully enjoy the starry sky. After living for several decades, I was able to see the Milky Way and my first shooting star with my own eyes.

家族3人で参加。車は満席でした。送迎スタッフはとても話が上手な方で、車中でも楽しませていただきました。途中休憩のお弁当のお味噌汁が美味しかったです。参加した日は好条件だったようで少し気温が高めだったようです。それでも防寒着なしで夜の寒さは厳しいですね。山頂近くで下車してから残り少し歩いて頂上のケルンへ。初登頂!!!。高度計は確かに4000m以上を示していました。星空観察時には天文台の邪魔にならないよう少し下山。月もでていない時間帯だったこともあり、星空を堪能することができました。○十年生きていて、初天の川と初流れ星を目で見ることができました。

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Blown by the refreshing wind on the vast prairie. 大草原でさわやかな風に吹かれて

Reviewed by: ハワイ島初子

Cahuilla Ranch is about an hour's drive from the airport. It's located about 11 miles up a mountain road. The elevation is quite high, so it feels cool, and we ride horses in a line across the spacious ranch. My mother was a complete beginner this time, but she seemed to enjoy it very much. We were able to ride comfortably in the clear air. Since we ride for a long time, it's a good idea to apply sunscreen!

 カフア牧場は空港で車で飛ばせば1時間くらいのところでした。
マウンテンロードを11マイル登ったところでしょうか。
結構標高が高いのか涼しく、広い牧場を一列になって乗馬します。
今回母が全くの初心者でしたが、とても楽しめたようです。
澄んだ空気の中、気持ちよく乗馬できました。
長時間乗るので、日焼け止めを塗った方が良いでしょう!

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

I saw dolphins. イルカが見えました

Reviewed by: みきみき

We participated with our children who are in the second and third grades. Although we couldn't communicate in Japanese, we managed just fine. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication before boarding, we didn't get seasick and arrived at the snorkeling spot. When they asked for our fin sizes, it was hard to communicate in centimeters, so I recommend checking the sizes in inches beforehand. They also provided floaties and other floating devices. The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious.

On the way back, we were accompanied by a lot of dolphins, and they were even right under the boat, which really impressed the kids. As parents, we felt like kids again and enjoyed jumping into the sea from the boat's slide, taking our time to relax.

We were quite tired, so we ended up taking a nap at the hotel in the afternoon. I think it's better not to schedule anything after that.

小学2年と3年の子供と家族で参加しました。日本語は通じないけれど、なんとかなりました。酔い止めの薬を飲んで乗船したおかげか、船酔いもせずにシュノーケルスポットにつきました。フィンのサイズを聞かれたときに、cmでは通じないので、インチのサイズを調べておくといいと思います。浮き輪も浮き具もあります。ランチのチーズバーガーも美味しかったです。
帰りにイルカがたくさん併走してくれて、船の真下にもいたので子供たちはとっても感動していました。親も、子供にかえった気分で船の滑り台から海に飛び込んで、のんびりと満喫しました。
結構疲れたのか、午後はホテルで昼寝をするくらいだったので、その後には予定をいれないほうがいいと思います。

When applying, prioritize the month. 申し込む時は月を最重視せよ

Reviewed by: みーにゃ

I knew that the moon would be nearly full during my vacation, but I was disappointed with the stargazing results. A new moon would have been best, and I regret not considering the moonrise time.

Japanese people love moon viewing, so the moon I saw from the summit of Mauna Kea was wonderful. At the same time, the observatories floating in the evening scenery were beautiful.

I don't think there was much concern about altitude sickness, but as regular trail runners, we got a bit carried away and quickly became out of breath while running up the mountain path (laughs).

Mauna Kea looks close, but it's a distant mountain that requires someone to take you there. It was a great experience. If I have the chance to go again, I want to experience a sky full of stars, where the stars alone are bright, and see shooting stars continuously. It was comparable to the starry sky in Tokyo...

まず休暇の日程ありで仕方なく月はほぼ満月なのは知っていましたが星空はがっかりな結果になりました。新月なのがベストですが、月の出時間も検討していけばよかったと反省です。
お月見は日本人は好きですからマウナケアの頂上で見た月はすばらしかった。同時に夕景に浮かぶ天文台群も美しい。

高山病の心配はほとんどないと思うのですが普段トレランをする私たちが調子に乗って頂上への山道を走ったらあっという間に息が上がりました(笑)

マウナケアは近くに見えても遠い山で連れてきてもらわなければいけません。いい経験をしました。もし次回があったら満天の星、星だけで明るいという経験、流れ続ける星なんていうのを経験したいもんです。東京での星空なみでしたから。。

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>

Incredibly blue sea & sunburn 信じられないくらい青い海&日焼け

Reviewed by: みーにゃ

When I first boarded the Zodiac rubber boat, I was a bit shaky and squealed, but gradually I started to feel exhilarated no matter how fast we went or how much we bounced. I knew I couldn't keep my hat on, but even the hood of my rash guard came off.

We jumped into the deep blue sea, far from land. The water was crystal clear up to my feet, but beyond that, it turned a deep navy blue. I wondered just how deep it was. The water felt so soothing that when I relaxed, my body floated effortlessly. It was an incredible sense of liberation.

Snorkeling around the Captain Cook Monument was also fantastic. It felt like being thrown into a tropical fish tank. However, for us Japanese, it might have been a bit too long. Watching families from Russia and the mainland continue to jump in and have fun made me wonder how much longer we would be there. (Sorry if I seem a bit out of sync.)

The captain kept speaking in English, but I couldn't see his face and the wind made it hard to understand. It wasn't a problem, though. I thought it might be fun to understand and respond like a native, but I don't really do that even in Japanese.

Towards the end, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They seemed so free. I was very satisfied.

Despite being careful about sunburn, my thighs and knees (from sitting) ended up getting sunburned bright red. For those who will participate in the future, wearing a long dress that is easy to put on and take off over your swimsuit might be safer. If you're concerned about getting tanned, this activity might not be for you.

ゴムボートのゾディアック号に最初乗った時は少々揺れてもキャーキャーしていましたがだんだんスピードがどんなに出ても飛び跳ねても爽快に感じるようになりました。帽子はかぶっていられないことはわかっていましたがラッシュガードのフードも脱げてしまいます。

陸地から遠く離れ海のど真ん中でただただ碧い海に飛び込みました。足もとまでくっきり透き通って見えるのにその先は濃紺、いったいどれほどの深さなのでしょう。とろりと感じるぐらいの水、脱力すると簡単に体は浮きます。ものすごい解放感。


キャプテンクック記念碑の周りでのスノーケリングもすばらしかった。まるで熱帯魚の水槽の中に放り込まれたようでした。でも我々日本人には冗長すぎる時間かもしれません。いつまでもはしゃいで飛び込んだりし続けるロシアやメインランドからの家族を船の上から見ながらいつまでここにいるのかなと思うようになります。(ノリが悪いのかすみません)

キャプテンがしゃべりつづけてる英語は顔も見ていないし風にも吹かれているしまるで理解できませんね~。それで困ることはありません。理解できてネイティブ並みに反応できたら楽しいかとも思いますが(もともと日本語でもそういう乗り突っ込みはしないですからね)

最後のころにイルカの群れに会えました。自由を感じるイルカたちでした。大満足でしたね。

日焼けに気をつけていたにもかかわらず腿がひざが(座っているから)真っ赤に火傷してしまいました。これから参加される方は水着の上に簡単に脱ぎ着できるなが~いワンピを着て参加すると安全かもしれません。美白を気にする人は参加無理です。

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

Incredible power! 大迫力!

Reviewed by: なおみん

I participated in early August, and on that day, I saw three manta rays up close, almost as if they were going to bump into us. Due to the sunset, we gathered at the office in the shopping center at 6:30 PM and set sail at 7 PM. After checking in at the office in the shopping center and renting wetsuits, we moved to the boat ramp at Keauhou Bay individually. The water was quite cold, but the beautiful and powerful swimming of the manta rays made it worth it. It was a good decision to stay at the Sheraton within walking distance since we disbanded while still wet. We were the only Japanese participants.

8月初めに参加し、その日は3匹のマンタが、ぶつかるかな?・・というくらい近くで見えました。
日没の関係と思いますが、18時半ショッピングセンター内の事務所集合、19時出航でした。
ショッピングセンター内事務所でチェックインをして、ウエットスーツを借りた後は、
各自でケアウホウ湾のボートランプへ移動しました。
水中は、かなり寒かったですが、マンタの泳ぐ美しい姿と迫力は、それ以上のものがありました。
濡れたまま解散なので、ホテルを徒歩圏内のシェラトンにして、正解でした。
日本人参加者は、私たちだけでした。

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>

I was surprised by the speed of the boat. ボートのスピードにビックリ

Reviewed by: shimamon

This time, we participated as a family of four. The snorkeling tour we usually join involves a large boat that takes us to the location, where we enjoy ourselves, but this tour felt like the attractions began as soon as we boarded the boat. The boat was thrilling, and during the hour of bouncing over the waves, I had to hold on tightly or I felt like I might be thrown off. Once we arrived at the Captain Cook Memorial, it was truly a snorkeling paradise. The water was very clear, allowing us to see deep down to the ocean floor, so anyone can expect to see at least 15 different types of tropical fish. It's a tour that the kids can enjoy as well.

今回は家族4人で参加しました。いつも参加するシュノーケリングツアーは大きな船でポイントまで移動して、その場で楽しんでいるんですが、このツアーはボートに乗り込んだ時から既にアトラクションが始まっているという感じです。ボートは迫力満点で、波間をすり抜けて1時間くらい揺られている間ずっとしっかり捕まっていないと振り落とされそうになります。また、キャプテンクック記念碑の所に到着したらまさにシュノーケルバラダイスです。透明度は高く海底の深くまで見渡せますので、誰でも最低15種類くらいの熱帯魚を観ることが出来ます。子供達にも十分楽しめるツアーです。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

I am very satisfied!! 大満足です!!

Reviewed by: hilo

On July 23, I participated with my two children. Since they are elementary school students, we were looking for a tour where Japanese was spoken, and we ended up here.

As everyone had said, Kevin and Noni were very kind and attentive, and they seemed very experienced in handling children. We enjoyed both kayaking and snorkeling.

Especially for snorkeling, it was the first time for my children to be in 6 to 7 meters deep water. At first, they looked very nervous, but within five minutes, they were floating on their own. I believe this was not only due to the clear sea, corals, and small fish, but also because of Kevin and Noni's excellent guidance.

Additionally, while regular beaches tend to have sand that stirs up and clouds the water, being near the lava coast meant there was none of that, and the visibility was great. Joining the tour was definitely the right choice.

When going as just a family, there can be various concerns, but with a tour, I felt reassured, so I would like to participate again.

7月23日に私と子供二人で参加しました。
子供たちは小学生なので日本語が通じるツアーを探していて、ここにたどり着きました。
参加してみると、皆さんの評判通りで、ケビンさんノニさんはとても親切丁寧で、子供たちの扱いにもとても慣れた感じで、カヤック、シュノーケリングともに楽しめました。
特にシュノーケリングは6m、7mの海の深さに初めてだった子供たちは、最初とても緊張した様子でしたが、5分も経たないうちに一人でプカプカしてました。
これも澄んだ海とサンゴと小魚たちはもちろんですが、ケビンさん、ノニさんの誘導が良かったのではと感じました。

また、普通の浜辺では砂が撒きあがって濁る傾向ですが、溶岩の海岸近くであればそれもなく、良く見えるとのことで、ツアーに参加して大正解でした。

家族だけで行くと、何かと不安ですが、ツアーだと安心できるので、また、参加したいと思います。

Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure オーシャンラフティング&溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー 

Reviewed by: Hiramechan

I had a great time. I thought it would be rafting, but I stayed completely dry and had a comfortable ride. We set out with three boats, and thanks to the captain's unique judgment, we were able to explore various courses. Of course, at certain points, all three boats came together, so it felt safe. The guides communicated entirely in English, but printed materials in Japanese were distributed beforehand, so even if you're not good at conversation, you'll be fine. The boat's speed was full throttle, so it was quite fast. Moreover, with the rolling, it was thrilling. You might worry about seasickness, but while moving, you can feel the wind all over your body, so you completely forget about it. Still, for those who are anxious, taking medication beforehand would be perfect. I thought snorkeling would be the same no matter where you swim, but the underwater world in places without people was completely different. After swimming here, the ocean in Waikiki felt just like Japan's Enoshima, and I didn't feel like diving. Please make sure to enter the waters of Kealakekua Bay.

とても楽しかったです。ラフティングと思ってましたが、身体は全く濡れることなく、快適なライディングでした。3隻での出港となりましたが、キャプテンの独自の判断でいろんなコースを巡ることが出来ました。もちろん、ポイントポイントでは3隻そろうのですから安心です。ガイドは全て英語でなされますが、事前に日本語で書かれたプリントが配布されますので、会話が不得意でも大丈夫です。ボートの速度はアクセル全開なので相当速いです。しかも、ローリング付きなのでスリル満点です。船酔いの心配があるかもしれませんが、走行中は全身で風を感じることができるので完全に忘れてしまいます。それでも不安な人は薬を飲んでおけば完璧でしょう。シュノーケリングはどこで泳いでも変わらないと思っていましたが、人が入らないところの水中は全く別世界でした。ここで泳いだら、ワイキキの海は日本の江ノ島と同じで、潜る気にはなりません。ぜひともケアラケクア湾の海には入って下さい。

I never expected it to be so thrilling when we set off from the bay. The boat moved slowly at first, and I was excited to see dolphins up close. With the signal of "Okay, here we go~," the boat suddenly sped up, and I felt a moment of fear. However, after a while, we arrived at the snorkeling spot, and when I started swimming, I was overwhelmed by how beautiful it was. The depth was also astonishing. We had lunch together, and it was so much fun to communicate with people from other countries. It was the best activity! I want to recommend it to everyone!

Great Ride thru Beautiful Valley

Reviewed by: Karen&Amy

A van takes you down to the valley floor where you are introduced to your horses. The ride takes you thru beautiful vegetation (mangos, avacados, bananas, taro and amazing flowers). You cross thru streams and see waterfalls streaming down into the valley. The riding itself is not very exciting. The horses walk at a leisurely pace. However the views are so worth it!

As we got closer to the summit, the oxygen became thinner, and I started to feel anxious because I was out of breath even after just a little movement.

I participated in a tour on July 24, 2011. My husband and I had done kayaking once during our honeymoon in Cairns, but it was the first time for our children. We had Kevin, who speaks fluent Japanese and has lived in Japan for 30 years, and Noni, teaching us one-on-one, so we had no worries at all! When I thought the kids might be a little hesitant, Kevin was considerate and took their hands to change the experience into snorkeling, which they enjoyed. I appreciate the thoughtful attention, possibly from his experience in Japan. During break time, there were plenty of snacks and pineapple juice, so we were all full! This tour is enjoyable for beginners, repeat visitors, families, and friends alike! Also, even if you're a beginner in English conversation, Kevin is there to help. Our family has become repeat participants in this tour and we want to join again.

As someone who has visited Hawaii 30 times, I highly recommend it! If you read this comment, please consider joining!

Private ocean! 貸切の海!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My friend and I participated in an underwater cave exploration plan. On that day, there were only four participants: the two of us and one couple. The instructors were Kevin and his wife (who is Japanese), and both were fluent in Japanese, so there were no language barriers at all. They provided us with very attentive support.

After we set off, we found ourselves surrounded by a completely empty, deep blue sea. It felt like we had the ocean all to ourselves. It was a truly wonderful experience.

However, be careful when jumping off the cliffs! We had a light-hearted attitude about wanting to jump, but... if you underestimate it, you might end up in pain. The view from up high was beautiful, but standing on the edge of the cliff, it was higher than I expected, and it took a bit of courage to jump... It was a serious jump, for sure (laughs). If you don't jump straight in, you might get hurt. I lost my balance and landed on my rear—ouch! It really hurt (tears). Only those who are confident should give it a try!

Overall, it was a lot of fun, so I highly recommend it! Next time, I think I’ll participate without jumping.

Liked how this was in a bay...not in come choppy ocean with tons of waves and where I feel like I am having to fight just to stay upright...no way, this was nothing like that. It felt almost like I was back home at the lake and really peacefully just gliding through the waters.

And the bay itself is really pretty. Then the snorkel section of the trip was really fun too. To get in and see fish and wildlife I had never seen before was exciting.

Overall it was a really wonderful time in Hawaii and made a highlight of my vacation. Mahalo.

Nature easily surpasses human imagination. 自然は簡単に人間の想像を超える

Reviewed by: hka

Hawaii is an island of the South Seas. It was a mystical experience that completely dispelled that image. The air at an altitude of 4,000 meters was crystal clear, and I was breathless at the majestic sight of nature untouched by human hands. The sun quickly set, and the colors of the sky changed vividly along with it, while the brilliance of the stars that filled the night sky afterward was an overwhelming sight that is hard to put into words. The guide who explained the constellations, stars, and the Milky Way under this natural planetarium, weaving in stories related to them, was truly wonderful. I want to go again to gaze at the autumn and winter skies.

ハワイは南国の島。とのイメージを完全に払拭される神秘の体験でした。標高4000メートルの空気は澄み切っていて、人の手の及ばない大自然の悠然とした姿に息をのみました。陽が見る見るうちに落ちていき、それと共に鮮やかに変化していく空の色も、その後夜空をぎっしり埋め尽くした星々の輝きも、言葉にし難い圧巻の光景でした。天然のプラネタリウムの下で星座や星、天の川など、それらにまつわる物語を交えて解説して下さったガイドさんも本当に素晴らしかったです。今度は秋冬の空を眺めに行きたいです。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

Relaxing~♪ のんびり~♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I chose this plan because I wanted to do both kayaking and snorkeling. It was a casual half-day course. Since it was my first time on the Big Island and I was moving around by rental car, I was a bit anxious about joining a tour without transportation included, but this was the only one with a Japanese-speaking guide.

Once we arrived at the meeting point without any issues, we received instructions on how to paddle a kayak and then headed out to sea. The guides were a couple, and both of them (the wife is Japanese) spoke fluent Japanese, so I felt completely at ease. I was satisfied that we could paddle for a long time. Although the snorkeling experience didn't have as many fish as I encountered in Palau, I was more than comforted by the personalities of the two guides, the color of the sea, and the surrounding scenery.

The kayaking was comfortable, and I was able to experience getting in and out of the kayak on the water for the first time. Since it was just the two of us participating this time (they usually accommodate small groups), it felt less like joining a tour and more like receiving warm hospitality from acquaintances, allowing us to have a very relaxing time. I highly recommend this tour!

カヤックとシュノーケルのどちらもしたくて
このプランを選びました。気軽な半日コース。
はじめてのハワイ島、レンタカーでの移動だったので、
送迎なしのツアーへの参加に不安はありましたが
日本語ガイド付きはここだけだったので。。

無事集合場所についてからは、カヤックのこぎ方の
指導を経て、海に出れました。
ご夫婦のガイドさんで、お二人とも(奥様は日本人の方ですが)
日本語がぺらぺらでなんの不安もなくすごせました♪
長い時間カヤックを漕ぐこともできて満足でした。
シュノーケルはパラオで体験したほど、たくさんの魚には
恵まれませんでしたが、それ以上にガイドさんお二人の
お人柄や海の色、周りの景色に癒されました。

カヤックも乗り心地?すわり心地がよかったです。
はじめて海の上で乗り降りも体験できました。
今回は私達二人だけの参加だったので(いつも少人数対応とのこと)、
なんだかツアーに参加したというより
知り合いに温かいもてなしを受けたような感じで、
とてもリラックスした時間をすごすことができました♪
オススメできるツアーです☆

Atlantis Kona Submarine Tour & Undersea Adventure - Descend up to 100 feet

FAMILY FUN

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The perfect choice for our family of four! My husband and I weren't too sure at first if our kids would behave for this trip, but we were so glad we went. Not only did the kids behave....they loved it! They couldn't get enough of the colorful fish and sea critters. And the time was perfect...enough to see alot, yet not too long for the kids to get too restless or bored at all. A great choice for us.

Hawaiian Canoe Paddling Tour Adventure from Waikoloa on Hawaii Island - Hulakai

Great time

Reviewed by: Arnold

The two guides who went with us are wonderful as they were concerned for our safety and comfort. It was a very calm sea the day went out so waves were few. They also showed us the sights of the bay and, since waves were few, they let us use their snorkel gear for a great snorkel experience.

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 highest level of transparency. 最高レベルの透明度

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay had very high visibility and was quite satisfying. In Hawaii, Hanauma Bay on Oahu is famous for snorkeling, and I have experienced it several times, but the visibility at Kealakekua Bay surpassed my experiences at Hanauma.
Ocean rafting is quite bumpy and fast, so it's almost impossible to wear a hat on the boat. Don't forget facial sunscreen. Especially after snorkeling, the sunscreen washes off, which can lead to serious sunburn.

ケアラケクア湾のシュノーケリング。透明度がとても高く満足のいくものでした。ハワイではオアフ島のハナウマ湾がシュノーケリングで有名で、何度か体験していますが、今回のケアラケクア湾の透明度はハナウマでの経験を上回るものでした。
オーシャンラフティングは揺れ・スピード共にかなりのモノなので、船上では帽子をかぶっていることがほとんど出来ません。顔の日焼け止めを忘れずに。特にシュノーケリング後は日焼け止めが落ちているので大変な事になります。

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

The best starry sky. 最高の星空

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea. The sun sinking into the sea of clouds was more beautiful than I imagined.
With the borrowed gear and over-pants, I hardly felt the cold.

After that, we descended to 3,900 meters for stargazing. The starry sky exceeded my expectations. Choosing a date close to the new moon was the right decision.
The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I had downloaded a constellation app (Star Walk) on my iPhone, but it didn't see much use, which was a pleasant surprise.
Taking photos of the starry sky was quite challenging, but with a simple tripod and a compact digital camera that allowed manual shooting, I managed to capture some shots.

The round trip drive is a bit long, so it might be a challenge for those who are prone to motion sickness, but it's definitely worth the effort to prepare and take on the challenge.

マウナケア山頂からのサンセット。雲海に沈む夕日は想像以上の美しさ。
お借りしたウェアとオーバーパンツで寒さもあまり気にならず。

その後、高度3900mまで下っての星空観測。こちらも期待以上の最高の星空。
新月に近い日程を選んで正解でした。
ガイドの方の説明もわかりやすく、iPhoneに星座早見アプリ(Star Walk)を仕込んでいきましたが、あまり活躍せず、嬉しい誤算でした。
星空の写真撮影はなかなか難しかったのですが、簡単な三脚とマニュアル撮影が可能なコンパクトデジカメで、なんとか撮影が出来ました。

往復のドライブがちょっと長いので、車酔いに弱い方にはちょっと難点かもしれませんが、体長を整えてチャレンジする価値は高いです。

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>

You absolutely have to try it! 絶対のってみて!

Reviewed by: miwa.M

This is something I absolutely think everyone should experience!

In addition to seeing the moving red lava, they also took us to a canyon that can only be accessed by helicopter, showcasing a world you can't see in everyday life.

You can witness the wonders of nature.

The pilot, Toshi, was a fun person and provided a lot of explanations, which was great.

I heard that Toshi also runs a company called Aloha Breeze.

Since you can see the natural conditions at that time, I don't think you'll ever get tired of the experience, no matter how many times you do it.

I definitely plan to ride in a helicopter again next time!

これは、絶対経験するべきと思いました!

赤い溶岩が動いている様子やワイピオ渓谷の他にもヘリでしか行けない渓谷にも連れて行ってくれて、日常では見られない世界です。

自然の素晴らしさを見られます。

パイロットのトシさんは、楽しい方で、いろいろ説明もしてもらえてので良かったです。

トシさんはアロハブリーズという会社もされているそうです。

その時の自然の状態を見られるので、何度経験しても飽きないと思います。

次もぜひ、ヘリに乗ろうと思います!
