Even now, two weeks later, it is burned into my heart and won't leave! 2週間後の今でも心に焼き付いて離れません！

Today, my favorite Orion constellation rose in the sky over Kawanishi. Every time I see Orion, I remember the Orion from Mauna Kea. That Orion, buried among the stars, was so unique! I had never seen such an Orion before! The moment I tilted my head back to gaze at the night sky, the voices of everyone's excitement echoed around us! It was truly a sight of gold, silver, and sand! Numerous satellites passed through the night sky. The Sirius we observed through the telescope sparkled brilliantly and was incredibly beautiful! The rings of Saturn were astonishingly vertical, which was a surprise! My 76-year-old mother still lights up with joy when she recalls that memory. Everyone who joined us was also very moved, and as the organizer, I feel a bit proud. After all, we were at 4,205 meters. When we arrived at the hotel, our water bottles were crumpled. I recommend the stargazing at Mauna Kea to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii, as well as those who aren't. The ocean in Hawaii is certainly wonderful, but Mauna Kea offered an even greater sense of awe and inspiration. The charming talk from the handsome guide was also very appealing. It's been two weeks since I returned from this trip, where I thought I might be done with Hawaii, and I'm already longing for that starry sky and sunset again.

今日も川西の空に大好きなオリオン座が上ってきました。そのオリオンを見るたびに、マウナケアのオリオンを思い出します。　一目でそれとは分からないくらい、星々に埋もれたあの！オリオンを！！あんなオリオン見たことない！　あの時、首を後ろに倒して夜空を見上げた途端、みんなの感激の声が響き渡りましたね！　まさに金・銀・砂子の☆☆☆！人工衛星がいくつも夜空を通り過ぎて行きました。望遠鏡で見せていただいた、シリウス。燦然とまばゆいばかりに煌いて美しいことこの上もなし！！土星の輪はナント、縦についていて、ビックリ！　76歳の母も一番の思い出と今でも目をきらきらさせて喜んでいます。ご一緒した皆さんもとても感激されて、企画した私はちょっと自慢です。なんたって4205ｍ。ホテルに着いたらペットボトルがへしゃげてました。ハワイ旅行を計画してる人はもちろん、していない人にもマウナケアの星空観測を勧めています。ハワイの海はもちろんとても素敵だけど、それ以上の感激と感動をマウナケアはプレゼントしてくれました。ハンサムな山ちゃんのトークもとても魅力的でした。ハワイももういいかなぁと思って行った今回の旅行から帰ってきて2週間。あの星空と夕陽がまた恋しくなってきました。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Mauna Kea Summit Adventure

Reviewed by: Angela and Dan

We booked this trip because Dan is very interested in astronomy. As we drove up to the summit we began to understand the magnificence of the view. The sunset was unbelievable and the experience unforgettable. When we came down the mountain to do our stargazing I saw the moon through the telescope as I have never seen it before. The detail of the craters was amazing. It was a beautiful evening and night. Thank you.

Mr. Monshiri is the best! 物知り山ちゃん最高っ！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We were taken care of during our honeymoon trip.

Regarding the Big Island and the stars, our guide "Yamachan" was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot while having a great time. It's no wonder they named it "Nature School."

Since I participated in late March, I would like to join again to see the summer night sky.

The summit of Mauna Kea is very cold, but the cold weather gear provided on this tour is the best in terms of warmth compared to other tours, and it was really great. I wonder if this is the only place that lends out coveralls?

新婚旅行でお世話になりました。

ハワイ島についても、星についてもガイドの「山ちゃん」は大変物知りで、非常に楽しみながら勉強させてもらいました。さすがは「ネイチャースクール」の名前を付けているだけあります。

3月下旬に参加したので、今度は夏の星空を見にまた参加したいと思います。

マウナケア山頂はとっても寒いですが、ここのツアーの防寒具は周りのツアーと比較しても1番防寒性に優れており、とってもよかったです。つなぎを貸してくれるのはここだけなのかな？？

Island Breeze Luau

Reviewed by: Elizabeth Ann Maisel

We enjoyed the show, and the MC was really funny and had a good voice. Before it started we ended up waiting in several different areas for them to set up. The cups for the drinks were too small, even for water and soda. I can understand having small cups for the alcohol, but it was difficult to drink enough water. It would have been more comfortable with the tables and chairs set up on the grass, instead of sitting on concrete (too hot!)Also, a bigger selection of vegetarian options would be good. Overall, as first timers to the Island, we really enjoyed the show. Thanks!

Oceanfront Royal Kona Resort Luau Voyagers of the Pacific Show - Dinner, Drinks & Fire Knife Dance

Luau was great!

Reviewed by: Lori & Craig

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we thought the luau was a great value! The food was great, and since our room looked over the luau area, we got to see the pig being put in the imu pit early in the day, and then experienced how great it tasted hours later!
Unfortunately our luau was rained out just as the show started, and though we got a raincheck for the show, we had another event planned for luau nights and could only come late into the show. I think we missed a good portion of the fire dancers as we only saw one guy. What we did see was great though!
I'd definitely do it again.

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

Atlantis Sub Ride

Reviewed by: Lori & Craig

It was definitely a unique experience, and having it depart from the pier in downtown Kona was great. We saw some marine life, though I guess we expected a bit more variety of fish (mostly yellow ones). Guess the fish don't come when it's sub time though! We loved looking at the coral and seeing a whole different world under the surface.

We did buy the CD that was offered for $20 with your picture, thinking it would have a variety of marine life pictures from previous trips, but on first inspection, it doesn't appear to have much. We did get our picture on the CD plus pictures of everyone else on the ride ... Don't think it was worth the $20.

Overall, a great and unique thing to do and I'd definitely recommend it to first-timers and those with kids, but not something I'd do again I don't think.

This was my second time participating in this tour after seven years. Last time I saw the summer constellations, and this time I was able to see the winter constellations. The stars I viewed through the telescope were very beautiful, and since the stars and scenery are different each time, I think I could repeat it many times without getting bored. The guide, Yamachan, was also interesting, and I have been recommending this tour to my friends and family. I definitely want to participate again!

今回このツアーに参加するのは７年ぶりの２回目でした。
前回は夏の星座、今回は冬の星座が見れました。
望遠鏡を通して見た星もとてもきれいで、毎回見れる星や景色も違うので、何度リピートしても飽きないと思います。
ガイドの山ちゃんの話もおもしろく、友人や家族にもこのツアーを勧めています。

This was an awesome tour. We took the entire family (3 generations) and all had a blast. I'm sure timing is everything, but we had some really incredible views of flowing lava through "skylights", surface movement, and great views entering the ocean. Our pilot (Marty) was great! Very knowledgable and wanted to make sure everyone on the flight was able to get the best views of lava, waterfalls, and other points of interest. We bought the DVD of our flight afterwards and love it! Thanks Blue Hawaiian for a memorable event that we will cherish forever.

Cave was a bit disappointing, being only 30 feet deep, you coulnd't really go in them.
If you are up for the extreme, try the cliff jump, its definately a thrill and safe.

This was a wonderful, amazing tour! The sunset view from the summit of Mauna Kea is incomparable. I felt like I was standing on top of the world. The stargazing was also wonderful. I never saw the stars so clearly before. My tour guide was Buck, who gave us a great astronomy beginner's lesson. He also was very professional, and knowledgeable about other aspects such as the culture, history, and environmental ecology of the island. I highly recommend this trip to everyone. Bring gloves and a knitted cap--you will use them. The tour company will provide parkas. Cookies and hot chocolate before stargazing was a nice touch!

The horseback ride through the Waipio Valley was definitely very scenic. It's a beautiful area. My horse was a little temperamental, preferring to stop and chew on plants by the wayside every few feet. The guides were good with the horses but didn't provide much background or cultural information about the valley and its people. Overall, it's a great way to explore this beautiful, unique valley.

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＞

I saw lava flows! 溶岩流見られました！

Reviewed by: tobo

I was really looking forward to this helicopter tour since it was my first time, and it did not disappoint; it was incredibly fun.

This trip to Hawaii was specifically for this experience, so I made sure to splurge on a helicopter tour that allowed us to peek into the crater from above. It was truly amazing to see.

The two-hour course included views of Waipi'o Valley, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unique perspective that only a helicopter can provide. Later, we also drove to see it from the ground, and that offered a different kind of emotional experience compared to the aerial view.

The helicopter seats were spacious and clean, and I didn't feel much vibration at all; I had no fear whatsoever. Even those who dislike roller coasters should be fine. I even thought it could have been a bit more thrilling.

As a note, if you're planning to take photos, you should wear dark clothing. In my case, the bright clothes of the person sitting in front of me reflected on the windshield, which was a bit of a hassle. I think it's considerate to wear dark clothes for the sake of others as well.

初めてヘリコプターに乗るツアーということで、とても楽しみにしていましたが、期待は裏切られることなくとても楽しいものでした。

今回は、これが目的で父親を連れてきたハワイでしたので、なんとしても赤いものを見せようと思い、上から火口を覗けるヘリツアーを奮発しました。凄いものを見たなとの思いがしました。

２時間コースなのでワイピオ渓谷も見られ、ヘリならではの舐めるような眺め方を堪能出来ました。
この後地上からも車で見に行ったんですが、これはまたこれで高空からと違いを感じる感動がありましたよ。

ヘリのシートは広くて奇麗で、振動も思ったより感じられず、全く恐怖心も起きませんでした。ジェットコースター嫌いな人もまず大丈夫でしょう。もっとスリルがあっても良いと思った位です。

注意点にもありますが、写真を撮る人は暗い服を着て行くべきです。私の場合、前に座っていた人の明るい服が風防ガラスに写り込んでしまい困りました。
他の人のことも考えて暗い服にするべきだと思います。

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to have at least one dinner that truly felt like Hawaii, so I participated in this show. There was a bit of a wait from check-in to entry, but once we were shown to our seats, there were various activities prepared one after another, and I was able to enjoy myself to the fullest without getting bored. Next to us was a group of grandparents in their mid-80s who were college friends, and we had a great time chatting with them. The food was a spread of local Hawaiian dishes, and what I thought would be just a little bit ended up filling my plate completely, leaving me quite full. As for the dancing, several young women and men performed dances from various countries, and it was very impressive. It turned out to be a memorable night!

Fraka'i Cruise フラカイ号クルーズ

Reviewed by: kie

I participated in this cruise with my parents, making it a family of three. We were the only Japanese people there, but everyone was friendly and it was a lot of fun.

The weather was nice that day, but since it was February, it was quite cold when we entered the water. However, once we got used to it, it was no problem at all! We were able to see beautiful tropical fish swimming around.

We snorkeled at two locations, and in between, we enjoyed breakfast and lunch. The large hamburger for lunch was very filling and delicious.

I think this is a great activity for those who want to spend a relaxing time on the sea.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins during the cruise, but we did see whales!

今回このクルーズには両親と3人で参加させていただきました。日本人は私たち家族だけでしたが、皆さん気さくで楽しかったです。

この日はお天気も良かったのですが、やはり2月なので海に入る時は結構寒かったですが、慣れてしまえばもうへっちゃら☆きれいな熱帯魚たちが泳ぐのを見ることができました。

シュノーケルは2箇所で行い、その合間に朝食や昼食をいただきました。昼食のおっきなハンバーガーはボリュウム満点でとってもおいしかったですよ。

のんびりした時間を海の上で過ごしたい方にはいいアクティビティだと思います。

クルーズの途中では残念ながらいるかに会うことはできませんでしたが、鯨には会えましたよ♪
