A lovely starry sky. すてきな星空

Reviewed by: Akkyan

When you live in the city, you rarely get to gaze at the starry sky. Given the season, "Tanabata" is one of the events for Japanese people, drawing attention to the night sky. However, it's also the rainy season, and it's rare to have clear weather in Japan.

So, off to the Big Island of Hawaii! A natural planetarium!

The starry sky at the summit of Mauna Kea was truly wonderful. I could see Saturn's rings clearly. To see both the Southern Cross and the North Star in the same night sky! I saw countless shooting stars. Thank you to our engaging guide, Mr. Yamamoto, for keeping us entertained with his witty storytelling.

It was a summit tour that felt like it was over in the blink of an eye. It's no wonder there are so many repeat visitors.

都会に住んでいると星空を眺めることはありません。
季節柄、「七夕」は日本人なら行事の一つで、夜空を眺める注意を惹かれます。しかしながら、梅雨の時期でもあり、日本で晴天に恵まれる事は稀です。

そこでハワイ島！
天然プラネタリューム！

マウナケア山頂の星空はとても素敵でした。
土星の「輪」も良く見えました。
「南十字星」と北極星が一つの夜空で見られるなんて！
流れ星も数え切れないほど見えました。
軽妙な話術で飽きさせないコンダクターの山本さん、ありがとうございました。


「あっ」という間の山頂ツアーでした。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Good Times overall.

Reviewed by: Jessica

The cave was a bit disappointing. It was so small that we only paddled in 3 feet and turned around.
We actually snorkeled in a bay with cliffs. You were able to climb up and jump off a 30 foot cliff.

They had great snacks up on the cliff: fresh pinapple, cookies, chocolate, cheese and drinks.

The staff was very laid back. We had 3 tour guides for our trip that seemed to not stress about anything. We had one couple in our group that paddled away from the main group and the staff didn't seem concerned about it.

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

Amazing!! 最高！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

When I made the reservation, there were no reviews, so I was torn between the tour to Waipi'o Valley, but I wanted to cross the river, so I chose this company and participated with some anxiety. However, it exceeded my expectations in a good way, and I had a really enjoyable time. I could tell that the guide was trying to entertain us, and everyone, including quite a few Japanese participants, got excited together. We crossed multiple rivers and even encountered wild horses. I'm not sure if the guide was the only one, but I was able to understand more Japanese than I expected, and the explanation on how to ride the horses was clear. I had heard that there are many mosquitoes in Waipi'o, so I took a lot of precautions, but I didn't hear any mosquito sounds. The horses were beautiful, and even my somewhat fastidious self was fine with them. It was truly great. For those who are hesitant, I highly recommend it!

予約する時、レビューがなかったのでワイピオの淵を行くツアーと迷い、でも川を渡ったりしたかったのでこちらの会社を選び、不安なまま参加しました。でも良い意味で想像を超え、本当に楽しい時間が過ごせました。ガイドさんが楽しませようとしてくれているのがわかるし参加者みんなで（日本人も結構いました）盛り上がり、川をいくつも渡り、野生の馬にも出会いました。ガイドさんがその方ひとりなのかは分からないですが、思っていたより日本語も通じるし、馬の乗り方の説明も伝わります。ワイピオは蚊が多いと聞いていたので蚊よけをかなりしていきましたが蚊の音は聞かなかったです。馬もきれいで潔癖ぎみの私も平気でした。本当に良かった。迷っている方、ぜひお勧めします！

My wife, who is an avid bird watcher, convinced me to come on this tour. Okay, she basically dragged me here...and I seriously thought I was going to be miserable and bored the whole time....but I was honestly amazed at how much fun I had!

It was an entire day, but it didn't feel too long at all...in fact, there were so many new birds that I had never seen before that we were learning the names of and all, that I felt like by day's end we were just skimming the surface of all these rare species!

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Fun Activity

Reviewed by: qbc1899

The kayak/snorkeling adventure was a lot of fun. I was prepared to kayak, but it was still a LOT of work. In total, you end up kayaking for close to two hours. Then we snorkeled for close to an hour or more. Would NOT recommend if you cannot kayak for that long or if you have small kids that cannot help paddle. Just be prepared.

The guides were nice and kept pace in the front with the leaders and in the rear with the slowest of the group. No one was left behind, which was nice. However, at the front of the group, we did do a lot of waiting for others. We went to a few sea caves and then went to a spot to snorkel and have snacks. The snacks were nice, the fresh pineapple was the best by far!

I did not find anything unique about this tour though. I felt like the tour guides have given the same "WOW you guys seem adventerous, should we take them here....or not?" talk a thousand times. Was kind of corny. But the activity was exactly as described and both my husband and I

The weather was clear on the day of the tour, and I was really excited. It was a tour fitting for our 20th wedding anniversary. About five minutes after departure, we encountered a large group of dolphins, which was amazing! They seemed to be jumping around the boat as if they were waiting for us.

After arriving at the snorkeling point, we had lunchtime on the boat. I was a bit confused since it was my first time snorkeling, but with the staff's advice, I was able to enter the water with confidence. Underwater, it was mystical with coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. On the way back, we also encountered a whale, making the tour absolutely fantastic. Since the boat had no roof, make sure to take precautions against sunburn!

I was a bit anxious since it was only in English, but I confirmed the meeting place the day before and arrived 30 minutes early on the day. The staff spoke some Japanese, so I had no worries at all. All the customers were foreigners, about 20 of us. They provided a document in advance with the content of what the captain would be discussing. The activities were rich, including dolphin jumping, snorkeling, and exploring lava caves. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the captain's pineapple dish was the best. We could also freely enjoy drinks. However, the boat was quite fast and jumped a bit, so you need to be somewhat prepared for that. There wasn't even time to get seasick. I'm grateful to the staff.

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

Starry sky seen on a new moon☆ 新月に見る星空☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

When I arrived on the Big Island, I joined a tour to see the stars! I hope this helps those who are planning to participate in the future.

I recommend going during the new moon. Without the moonlight, the stars are beautiful. The tour company provides warm clothing, so it’s best to prepare your own warm socks for your feet and ear muffs or a mask for your face.

Also, you will drive on rough roads, and there are temperature and pressure differences, so I think it’s a good idea to rest well the day before you go. It’s also recommended not to have a packed schedule the next day (I personally felt like I wanted to take it easy the following day).

I chose the tour company based on price after some deliberation, and I’m really glad I did. There was an older gentleman who was a veteran of the Big Island among the participants, and he said this tour was the best.

The main reason is that they focus on the stars. Since there is an observatory nearby, there are some restrictions, but they push it to the limit (laughs). Other companies seem to have shorter times. However, it seems they stop at supermarkets, so if that’s something you want to do, you might prefer that option. I think it’s good to choose a company based on other people's comments as well. The new moon days are popular, so make your reservation early!

ハワイ島に着たら、星！ということでツアーに参加しました。
これから参加する方のためになればと思います。

お薦めは、新月に行かれること。
月の光がないので、星が綺麗です。
そして、防寒具は催行会社が貸してくれるので、それ以外、足（厚手の靴下）、顔（耳あて、マスク？）の準備をご自身でされていかれると良いです。

それと、道中はあらい道を車で通りますが、気温差、気圧差もあるので、前日はゆっくり休まれてからむかうのが良いと思います。翌日もあまり詰め込んだスケジュールにしない方がお薦め（どちらかというと、翌日の方がゆっくりしたいなと思いました）。

催行会社さんは、悩んで最後は値段で決めたのですが、ここで本当に良かったです。
一緒に参加されている方に、ハワイ島ベテランの年配の方がいらっしゃいましたが、その方もこのツアーが1番良かったとおっしゃっていました。

1番の理由は、星に重点をおいてくれることでしょうか。
天文台が近くにあるため、制約があるのですが、ぎりぎりまでねばってくれます（笑）
他社さんはもう少し時間が短いようです。その代り、スーパーとかに行かれているようなので、その点は事前に確認し、寄りたいというのであればそっちの方が良いという方もいるかも。
他の方のコメントも参考に、会社を選ばれると良いと思います。新月の日は人気なので、お早めに予約を~。

This was my fourth time at Mauna Kea. I also went for the sunrise, but I preferred the sunset. Each time, I participated with a different tour company, and they all put in a lot of effort to make it enjoyable, but I think this was the best one so far.

I was especially happy that this tour allowed for a longer time at the summit. Each company provides warm clothing, but it was my first time borrowing pants. It really helps since your feet can get cold after a long time.

I always plan my schedule around the new moon, so this time, the starry sky and shooting stars were amazing!

Moreover, this time we observed from the closest spot to the summit, so the stars were right next to us... I also saw the Southern Cross for the first time.

What impressed me the most was being able to take a photo of Saturn with my phone camera, thanks to the staff.

I will definitely participate in this tour again next time!

マウナケアには４回目
サンライズも行ったけれど、私はサンセットのほうが良かったです。
毎回違う催行会社で参加、
各社とも私考を凝らして楽しませてくれますが、今までで一番良かったと思いました。

特にこのツアーは山頂での時間をとても長く取ってもらえるので嬉しいです。
そして、各社防寒着を貸してもらえるのですが、ズボンを借りたのは初めてでした。長時間居てると足下が冷えるので助かります。

毎回新月時期を狙ってスケジュールを組んで行くので、今回も満天の星と流れ星は最高！でした。

それにまして今回は山頂に一番近い所での観測だったので星が真横に・・・初めて南十字星も見ました。

一番感激したのは、

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

My first experience riding a horse! 人生初の乗馬♪

Reviewed by: ゆころ

I signed up for horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley. I was supposed to meet there, but I overslept and ended up being about 20 minutes late. When I called in broken English, they kindly said they would wait for me, which was a huge help. We rode down to the base of the valley in a van with the door wide open, and then it was time to start riding! The horse was very smart and walked perfectly well even for beginners. Along the way, the staff took a lot of photos for us. There was a spot where we had to cross a river, and it was so deep that I had to lift my legs while riding, which was thrilling. The next day, my butt was a little sore, but I had so much fun and it was a valuable experience. If I get the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would love to participate again.

ワイピオ渓谷で乗馬ができると知り申し込みました。
現地集合だったのですが朝寝坊してしまい、２０分ほど遅刻してしまいました。
片言英語で電話をしたら待っているといってくれて本当に助かりました。
ワゴン車でドアを開けっ放しのまま豪快に渓谷の麓までまで下り、乗馬スタートです♪
馬はとても利口で初心者でも問題なく歩いてくれました。
途中でスタッフの人にたくさん写真を撮ってもらいました。
川を渡る場所もあったのですが乗馬をしていても足を上げないといけないほどの深さがあり、スリル満点でした。
翌日はおしりが少し筋肉痛になりましたが本当に楽しかったし貴重な経験が出来ました。
ハワイ島に行く機会があればまた参加したいと思います。

It was truly amazing. The instructors were both Japanese and American, and they taught us kindly with great Japanese skills. It was my first time kayaking, and we paddled for a long time towards a cave. Entering the Dragon Cave felt like being inside a dragon's throat, with water gushing out from deep inside, which was really interesting. It was thrilling and absolutely fantastic.

After getting hyped up and anchoring the kayak, we went snorkeling next. There were so many fish, including some I had never seen before. Occasionally, there are also dolphins and mantas. I was moved by the beautiful sea in such a healing situation. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone looking to create great memories through activities.

Let's enjoy it 200%! 200%楽しみましょう！

Reviewed by: FukuD

It was such a wonderful experience that it brought me to tears instead of words. The appropriate and flexible responses, along with the necessary yet not extravagant equipment, and reasonable prices made me glad I chose Masashi Nature School.

Guide Ochi-san provided clear explanations about the history, background, and stories of Hawaii and Mauna Kea during the journey and at the summit. There seems to be a saying on the Big Island: "If you want to know everything, go to the top of the mountain." As I looked at Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and got closer, I felt that meaning resonate in my heart. Standing there, the majestic Hawaiian prayer songs naturally echoed deep within my ears.

【What was wonderful】
- The crisp atmosphere at the summit.
- A 360-degree panorama from the true summit (4205m).
- The sunset sinking beyond the sea of clouds to the west.
- The shadow of the mountain appearing above the sea of clouds to the east.
- The shadow of the Earth that appears after the sun sets.
- The gradient from orange to deep blue.
- The countless stars I had never seen before, including the Southern Cross.
- Guide Ochi-san. At first, I thought he was a bit brusque (laughs).

While it was already amazing as it was, I recommend preparing the following, including my own reflections:

【Altitude sickness measures】
- Get plenty of sleep the night before.
- On the day, avoid drinking alcohol at the beach in the morning.
- If you're worried, buy oxygen spray locally.
*You will be going to a place nearly 450m higher than the summit of Mount Fuji. Underestimating it can lead to painful experiences, even for seasoned climbers.

【Cold and hunger measures】
- They will lend you warm outerwear, but you should prepare your own inner layers (flannel shirts, fleece, long pants, shoes, etc.).
- If you're sensitive to the cold, bring hand warmers from the base.
- You might get hungry on the way back, so bring snacks like candy or Snickers.
*Lunch will be provided, but since you'll be returning more than five hours after eating, you might feel a bit hungry.

【Photography equipment】
- A "tripod" and a camera that can set the shutter speed to over 30 seconds (get accustomed to using it beforehand).
- Batteries deplete quickly in the cold, so bring a spare battery.
*Capturing beautiful sunset and starry sky photos will create the best memories.

【iPhone/iPad app "Star Walk"】

言葉の代わりに涙が出るほど、すばらしい経験でした。
適切かつ臨機応変な応対と、華美ではないが必要充分な装備、リーズナブルな価格。
マサシネイチャースクールにしてよかったと思いました。

ガイドの越智さんが道中および山頂で、ハワイやマウナケアについての歴史・背景・エピソード等、色々と分かりやすく教えてくれました。
「全てを知りたければ、山の頂へ行け」という格言がハワイ島にはあるらしいです。
マウナケア・マウナロアを見て、そこへ近づくに従って、その意味が心で感じられる気がしました。
その場に立つと、雄大なハワイの祈りの歌が、自然と耳の奥に響きました。

【素晴らしかったこと】
・ピンと張りつめた山頂の大気。
・本当の山頂（4205m）からの360度パノラマ。
・西の雲海の彼方に沈む夕日。
・東の雲海上に出現する、山の影。
・夕日が沈んだ後に現れる、地球の影。
・オレンジ~深い青へのグラデーション。
・見たこともない星の数。そして南十字星。
・ガイドの越智さん。最初はぶっきらぼうな人かと思いましたが（笑）

そのままでも十分すばらしいですが、私の反省も含めて、
以下の準備をして行くことをオススメします。

【高山病対策】
　・前夜の睡眠は十分に取る。
　・当日は、午前中でもビーチでアルコールなどを飲まない。
　・心配なら現地で酸素スプレーを買っておく。
　※富士山頂より450m近く高い場所に行きます。
　　ナメてかかると玄人でも痛い思いをします。

【寒さ＆空腹対策】
　・暖かい防寒着の上下を貸してくれるが、インナー系は自分で用意する。
　　（ネルシャツ、フリース、長ズボン、靴など）
　・寒がりの人は、ホッカイロなどを麓で仕込んで行く。
　・帰り道でお腹が減る可能性があるので、飴やスニッカーズ等、小腹に入れるものを。
　※お弁当は出ますが、食べて5時間以上経過して帰りますので。少し腹が減りました。

【写真道具】
　・「三脚」と「シャッタースピードを30秒以上に設定できるカメラ」。
　　（事前に使い慣れておくこと）
　・寒いとバッテリーの消耗が激しいので、予備バッテリー。
　※夕日や星空を綺麗に撮れると、最高の思い出になります。

This time, I participated with my parents. The reason for joining was my mother, who had always wanted to try this kind of attraction, so we joined somewhat on a whim, but the three of us had a fantastic time together. None of us speak English, but the atmosphere and the Japanese guide we received at the beginning were more than enough.

The incredible speed of the ocean rafting, the breathtaking snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, and the encounters with dolphins were all first-time experiences, and everyone in the family felt we wanted to participate again!

The weather was a mix of sunny and cloudy on the day, but my father and I, who didn’t apply sunscreen on our backs, ended up very red and it was quite a hassle. By the way, I did apply sunscreen everywhere else, but my face and arms also got sunburned. So, for those who are going to participate, I think it's best to use sunscreen thoroughly. (The captain and the male local staff reapplied it several times.)

今回、両親と参加しました。
参加のきっかけは母で、母がずっとこういうアトラクションをしたいとのことだったので、なんとなく参加しましたが、家族3人思いっきり楽しめました。
3人とも英語は話せませんが、何となくのふいんきと、最初にもらえる日本語で書かれた案内で十分でした。
オーシャンラフティングのものすごいスピードと、ケアラケクア湾での美しすぎるシュノーケル、そしてイルカとの遭遇、初めての体験ばかりで、また参加したい！が家族全員の感想です。

当日は晴れたり曇ったりでしたが、背中に日焼け止めを塗らなかった私と父は、真っ赤になり大変でした。
ちなみに、背中以外はしっかり塗りましたが、顔も腕も焼けていました。
なので、これから参加するかたはしっかりと日焼け止めを使ったほうがいいと思います。（船長と男性の現地スタッフは何度か塗り直していました。）

I have participated in this tour twice in the past. It's definitely one of the tours you should go on when you visit the Big Island. This time, we were covered by thick clouds from the moment we left the hotel, and it was said that the summit conditions were fifty-fifty. By the time we arrived at Mauna Kea, there was unusually snow at the summit for this time of year, and the roads were frozen, resulting in a road closure, so we couldn't go up. However, the staff's response to whether customers would be satisfied with the current situation was good. After the rain and thunder, we were taken to another point where we could see the sunset through a gap in the clouds, and we were able to walk and enjoy it together. The timing was perfect! We were able to see a beautiful sunset. I'll save the starry sky for the next time as something to look forward to. Thanks to the staff's judgment and actions at that time, we were able to have a great time. The view from that point was also a wonderful memory. The bento from another company looked more delicious, though (laughs). I would like to use this service again!

I was desperately holding onto the boat's rope to avoid being thrown off during the ocean rafting, but it became fun once I got used to it.

This time, I didn't encounter any dolphins or whales as others have mentioned, but snorkeling in Kealakekua was amazing. The water was very clear and beautiful.

It was my first time snorkeling, so I was a bit confused at first, but by the end, I wanted to practice diving deeper.

After coming out of the water, it was really cold. A long-sleeved shirt was necessary.

Also, I thought I would get a tan and went without sunscreen, but the Hawaiian sun is intense, and I got quite burned and turned bright red. Even though I applied aloe after-sun gel frequently, three days later my arms were swollen and peeling all over, which was tough. Even if you want to tan, make sure to apply some light sunscreen.

I couldn't catch everything in fast English, but overall, it was a lot of fun.

オーシャンラフティングでは、ボートから振り落とされないように必死で、ボートの紐を握っていましたが、慣れてくれば楽しかったです。

今回は皆さんが書かれているようなイルカやクジラには出会えませんでしたが、それでもケアラケクアでのシュノーケルは最高でした。
水の透明度がとても高く、きれいでした。

シュノーケルは初めてだったので、初めは戸惑いましたが、
最後にはもっと深く潜水できるように練習したいと思うようになっていました。

海から上がった後は、とっても寒かったです。
長袖の上着は必要でした。

あと、日焼けしたいと思い、日焼け止めを塗らずにいったのですが、ハワイの日差しは強烈で、かなり焼けて真っ赤になり、アロエのアフターケアジェルをこまめに塗っても３日後には腕が赤く腫れて、体中の皮がむけて大変でした。。。
日焼けしたくても、必ず、軽めのサンスクリーンは塗りましょう。

全て早い英語でよく聞き取れなかったですが、全体的にはとても楽しかったです。

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＞

Ocean rafting is... オーシャンラフティングとは…

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

First, it cost us about $90 one way by taxi from the Kohala area to this meeting point, so the lack of transportation was the biggest drawback.

We set off on a rubber boat! It took off at a high speed, so you have to hold on tight. It was really fast, and I thought, "No way..." but indeed! I think we took a long route, but the journey to Kealakekua itself felt like rafting. We were tossed around for quite a while, feeling the bumps from the waves and the speed, which was scary, so I held on to the boat tightly to the point that my hands hurt. On the way back, I got used to it and enjoyed it moderately.

Everything was in English, and all the other customers were Westerners.

When we arrived at Kealakekua, we were greeted with a beautiful view, just like in the pictures. We stopped the boat at a spot where we could see the Captain Cook monument, and after a snorkeling briefing, we entered the sea and started snorkeling. The types of fish varied by location, so it's good to move around a bit.

It was very beautiful and magical☆

However, after getting back on the boat from the sea, it was quite cold due to the wind, so it's better to bring a windbreaker or hoodie. Everyone was shivering so much that they had goosebumps.

On the way back, we did rafting again while being guided to various sightseeing spots. The captain's guidance was in English, but at check-in, we received a paper with guidance in Japanese. (However, there’s only time to read it while waiting for other customers to arrive after check-in, so I recommend checking in early.) We didn’t have much time to read, so we managed to understand somewhat through words and the kind gestures of the staff. The staff were very kind to us Japanese, explaining things clearly and being considerate. I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. Thank you very much!

Also, when getting off the boat, all the Westerners were giving tips. Since it was my first time paying tips on an optional tour, I wanted to note this for those who might not know. It seems better to prepare $10 bills for each person.

まず、コハラ地区からこの集合場所まで行くのに、免許のない我々はタクシーで片道約＄９０したので、送迎がない点が最大のデメリットでした。

ゴムボートに乗って出発！
猛スピードで走り出すので、しっかりとつかまっていなければなりません。
本当に凄いスピードで、まさか…と思ったのですが、やはり！
大回りはしていたと思いますが、ケアラケクアまでの移動自体がラフティングだったのです。
結構長い時間、波でのガタンという感じと猛スピードで揺られ、恐かったので、行きは手が痛くなるほどしっかりボートにつかまっていました。
帰りはだいぶ慣れ、適度に楽しめました。

全て英語で、他のお客さんは皆欧米人でした。

ケアラケクアに着くと、写真のようにそれはもう美しい光景が見られました。
キャプテンクック碑の見える位置でボートを止めて
シュノーケルのガイダンスの後、船から海へ入り、シュノーケリング開始。
場所によって、いる魚の種類が違ったので、色々動いてみると良いです。

とっても綺麗で幻想的でした☆

ただ、海から船に上がった後は、風もあり大変寒いので、ウインドブレーカーやパーカーなどを持って行ったほうが良いです。
皆とりはだが立つほど震えていましたので。

帰りはまたラフティングをしながら、各観光スポットを案内してくれました。
船長のガイドは英語ですが、チェックイン時に日本語でのガイドが書かれた紙をもらえます。（ただ、チェックインして他のお客さんが揃うのを待っている間しか読む時間がないので、早めのチェックインをお勧めします。）
我々は読む時間があまりなかったので、単語とスタッフのお兄さんの親切なジェスチャーで何となく理解できた、という感じでした。
スタッフの方は、私たち日本人にとても親切に、わかるように説明したり、色々と気遣ってくださいました。
この場を借りて、御礼が言いたいです。
ありがとうございました！

あと、船を降りるとき、欧米人が皆チップを渡していました。
オプショナルツアーでチップを払う、というのが初めてだったので、ご存じない方のために記しておきますね。
＄１０札を人数分用意しておいたほうが良さそうです。

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＞

I got to see a manta ray! マンタに会えた！

Reviewed by: fufufu

I really got to see a manta ray!
Even with the lights, it was quite dark, and the photos turned out dark as well (laughs).

However, the sight of the manta ray swimming gracefully, turning its body, was clearly visible against the darkness because of its white color.

Even in Hawaii, the ocean at night is cold.
I went during Golden Week, and I think it's better to rent a wetsuit. I thought there might be an extra charge, but it was included in the price. At the reception, they will instruct you to borrow one from the next room if you need it, so I recommend stopping by.

The reception area inside the shopping center was a bit hard to find (it's a glass shop with just a counter).

I wasn't sure about the warm drinks and food. It might be better not to rely on them too much...

本当にマンタに会えました！
ライトがあっても結構暗く、写真を撮っても暗闇でした（笑）

ただ、マンタがくるくると身体をひるがえしながら泳いでいる様は、
白いので暗闇に浮かびあがるようによく見えました。

ハワイといえども、夜の海は寒いです。
私はGWに行きましたが、ウェットスーツは借りた方がいいと思います。別途料金がかかるのかと思いましたが、料金に含まれていました。受付場所で、必要だったら隣の部屋で借りるよう指示されるので立ち寄った方がいいと思います。

ショッピングセンター内にある受付場所がちょっとわかりづらかったです。（カウンターだけがあるガラス張りのショップ）

温かい飲み物や食べ物はよくわかりませんでした。あまりあてにしない方がいいかも…

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＞

Overlooking the Big Island of Hawaii from a bird's-eye view. ハワイ島を鳥目線で見下ろす

Reviewed by: fufufu

After driving around the Big Island, I participated in this tour.

It was exciting to see the scenery and the overall landscape of the island that I couldn't see from the car.

In Hawaii, the clouds feel very low. The moment I entered the clouds, water droplets formed on the window, and the wind from the propeller made them slide down the window at an incredible speed, which was quite a surprise.

I could see the boundary between the grassy areas and the black regions where lava had solidified, observe plants growing only along the river in places without paths, suddenly encounter a volcano with glowing red lava inside, and get close to a magnificent waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. It was truly a tour that allowed me to experience the grandeur of Hawaii's nature.

I was hoping for a Japanese pilot, but unfortunately, it was conducted in English.

If I understood a bit more English, it would have been even more interesting... I realized my lack of English skills.

Of course, the pilot was very refreshing and a wonderful person.

After seeing the overall landscape from here, driving around the island might spark more interest in various things.

車でハワイ島を回った後に参加。

車では見えなかった景色や島の全貌が見え興奮ものでした。

ハワイは雲がとても低く感じられます。
雲に入った瞬間に窓に水滴がつきプロペラの爆風ですごい勢いで窓を伝って滑り落ちていく様までが珍しく、驚きの連続でした。


草原地帯と、溶岩の固まったような黒いエリアの境目が見えたり、道なき場所にある川沿いにだけ植物が育っているのをみたり、急に火山が出現しその中で溶岩が赤く光っているのをみたり、そうかと思えば、緑あふれるにある壮大な滝に接近したり、本当にハワイの自然の壮大さを体感でいるツアーでした。

日本人パイロットもいるということでそれにかけていましたが、残念ながら英語対応。

もうちょっと英語がわかればもっとおもしろかったのに…。自分の英語力のなさを痛感しました。

もちろんパイロットさんは、とっても爽やかで素敵な方でしたいよ。

こちらで全貌をみてから島を車でまわると、いろいろなことに興味がもてていいかもしれません。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Great!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The kayaking trip was good despite the weather. The waves were a little rough and we actually tipped over. Our guide was awesome! He answered all our questions and he stopped to help other people in need. Since the weather didnt cooperate, we werent able to snorkle. They are very understandable and refunded some of our mpney. We highly recommend this to anyone!

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

You can experience the grandeur of the Big Island of Hawaii. ハワイ島の雄大さを体験できます。

Reviewed by: TAKE

The experience of watching the sunset from a peak over 4000 meters is truly unforgettable, and it became a wonderful memory. Additionally, while stargazing, I learned a lot from the interesting stories shared. The tour conductor also mixed in various anecdotes while guiding the tour, so the frequent movements didn't bother me much. However, it tends to be quite cold, so it's best to prepare as much as possible for the cold. We brought fleece and leggings from Japan. Other outerwear for warmth can be borrowed, and they are quite good quality.

4000mを超える山頂から夕陽を眺める経験はそうできないので、本当に良い思い出になりました。また星空観察でも色々と面白い話を聞きながらなので、勉強になりました。ツアーコンダクターの方も色々な話を織り交ぜながら、ツアーを進めてくれるので、移動の多さもあまり気になりません。ただ、寒いことが多いようですので、可能な限り防寒対策をしていかれた方が良いです。私たちは日本からフリースとスパッツを持って行きました。それ以外のアウターの防寒具は立派なものを貸して頂けます。

I experienced breathtaking views that you wouldn't expect in tropical Hawaii. The beauty of the setting sun was particularly exceptional.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the Southern Cross due to clouds, but I definitely want to see it next time. The staff were kind, and I made some wonderful memories. Thank you!

南国のハワイとは思えぬ
絶景を見てきました
特に沈む夕日の美しさは格別でした

南十字星は残念ながら雲があり見えませんでしたが
次回は必ず観にいきたいと思います
