ハワイ島 ジップライン7本 コレコレ滝の上を滑走 <英語インストラクター>

Beautiful scenery 美しい景色

Reviewed by: こま

After making a reservation in Japan, head to the store counter at the designated time. It takes a bit of time to enter the tour's specified website and sign contracts in case of accidents. Since there are no Japanese speakers, it can be challenging if you don't understand some English (a translation device is also possible).

After that, you put on the gear, wear a helmet, and head up the mountain in a microbus. If you're wearing a baseball cap, you can wear it under the helmet, but other types are not allowed. Initially, you'll slide down a distance of about 20 meters to get accustomed to it after a safety briefing before starting.

From the second run onward, the distance gradually increases, and finally, you'll have a long run over the valley from a platform about 6 meters high. About ten people are accompanied by two guides, ensuring safety at all times. People of all ages, from children to the elderly, can safely enjoy the beautiful scenery.

日本で予約して、現地の予約時間にお店のカウンターへ。ツアーの指定したHPに入って、事故等が起きた場合の契約書などへのサインを行うのに、少し時間がかかります。日本語を話す人はいませんので、ある程度の英語を理解出来ないと苦しい。(翻訳機でも可能ですけど)。
そのあと、装具を身につけてヘルメットを被りマイクロバスで山の上の方へ向かう。野球帽ならばヘルメットの下に被れるけど、他のタイプはダメ。最初は20メートルくらいにのもので、スタート前の安全など講義後に慣れる意味で滑る。
2本目から徐々に距離が伸びていき、最後は6mくらいの高さの台から谷超えのロングラン。10名くらいに二人のガイドが同行して、常に安全を確保。子供から高齢者の方まで安全に綺麗でな、景色を楽しめます。

マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー <午後/天体望遠鏡/夕食付/英語ガイド> by ハワイフォレスト&トレイル

The weather was bad, and we couldn't see the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. 天候が悪く、マウナケア山頂での日の入りは見られませんでした

Reviewed by: けほや

This was a local tour on the Big Island of Hawaii. The original plan was to drive to the summit (4,200 meters) to watch the sunset, and then observe the stars in the night sky at another location.

However, at the visitor center (2,800 meters), the area was covered in clouds, and the road was closed, preventing us from reaching the summit. I had heard that the summit of Mauna Kea is above the clouds and has low weather risks, but I realized there is a risk of road closures along the way.

After that, we were able to observe the stars from a lower area (1,800 meters). We could see Saturn, and the night sky was magnificent.

ハワイ本島での現地ツアーです。元々の予定は、車で山頂(4200メートル)に登り日の入りを見学、その後別の場所で夜空で星を観察というものでした。

ところが、途中のビジターセンター(2800メートル)で辺りが雲に覆われて道路が閉鎖され、山頂に行けませんでした。マウナケア山頂は雲の上にあり天候リスクが少ないと聞いていましたが、途中の道が閉鎖されるリスクを認識しました。

その後、少し下った広場(1800メートル)で夜空の星を観察出来ました。土星も見え、星空は素晴らしかったです。

I had a very enjoyable time with the dolphins. I had many opportunities to touch them. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to swim while holding onto the dolphin's dorsal fin. It was listed as one of the activities, so I thought I would definitely be able to experience it, but I couldn't.

You can borrow winter clothing, but it is very cold. Wear long pants and sneakers. However, during sightseeing until sunset, you will be walking, seeing waterfalls, and entering caves, so it can get hot and you might sweat. Drinks are also available.

Reviewed by: ぽむ

The sunset viewed from the summit was incredibly beautiful, and I couldn't take my eyes off the scenery as it sank into the sea of clouds! Also, I think opportunities to climb a mountain over 4000 meters are rare, so I'm glad I participated! Personally, I appreciated that there were places where we didn't have to hike. The photos taken by the guide turned out great, and I am very satisfied!

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 starry sky is okay. 星空はまあまあ

Reviewed by: パイプマンエース

The observatories and sunset I saw at the summit were wonderful. It was my first time staying at 4000 meters, but thanks to the advice on acclimatization and the guide's handling, I was able to go without getting altitude sickness. The guide, Koki, was well-studied and very helpful.

For stargazing, we went to a parking lot quite a bit down from the summit. Even though the summit was perfectly clear with not a single cloud, when we descended, there were clouds, and I really wanted to gaze at the stars in a clear sky. It was disappointing.

As we drove down, I could clearly see that there were clouds, and I was surprised, thinking, "Why are we going to a place with clouds when there's no cloud here?" I felt sad that I had come all this way to see the stars in a once-in-a-lifetime place, only to not fulfill that purpose. The view with the naked eye was about as good as the starry sky in Nagano, but I did manage to capture something that looked like the Milky Way using my iPhone's stargazing mode.

頂上で見た天文台群と夕日は素晴らしいものでした。
人生初の4000m滞在でしたが、順応やガイドさんの対処方法のアドバイスもあり、高山病になることもなく行くことができました。
ガイドのKokiさんも良く勉強されていて、すごく参考になりました。
星空観察は車で頂上からかなり下りた駐車場で、せっかく頂上が雲一つ無い快晴だったのに、降りてきたところは雲がでていて、澄み切った空で星を眺めたかったです。残念でした。
車で降りていくときに明らかに雲がかかっているのが見えていて「ここは雲がないのに何で雲のあるところに行っちゃうの?」と驚きました。
折角はるばる人生でまたとないところに星空を見に来て、雲一つ無い快晴の場所にいたのに、目的が果たせず悲しくなりました。
肉眼では長野の星空くらいの見え方でしたが、一応アイフォンの星空モードで何とかの天の川らしいものは撮れました。

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

Enjoying the sea in Hawaii. ハワイの海を堪能

Reviewed by: Tourbillon

About 15 minutes ago, I took an Uber to the meeting point, and the guide was waiting for us. In Hawaii, I was able to catch an Uber even at 6 AM without any issues. I think it's a good idea to check the app a bit before you head out. After dropping off valuables and a change of clothes, I put my phone in the waterproof bag and set off.

We arrived at the kayak launch area right away. I wore flip-flops, but since it's not a beach, I think marine shoes would be better. We boarded the kayak from the rocky area. From there, we kayaked for about an hour and a half, entering a cave along the way. After that, we snorkeled for about an hour. We were able to see large sea urchins and various fish while circling around. Since there was quite a bit of time, it might be good to have an underwater camera to take your own pictures.

We kayaked back for an hour, and that concluded the tour. There’s a shower or a water tap where you can wash off just a few minutes' walk from the kayak launch area. You can change clothes in the nearby restroom. The day before, when I confirmed over the phone, the guide mentioned that they would take pictures, but unfortunately, the guide had to be replaced due to health issues, so I couldn't get any photos. However, I really enjoyed experiencing the Hawaiian sea.

15分くらい前にUberで集合場所へ行くと、ガイドの方が待ってくれていました。
ハワイ島のUberは、6時台でも普通に捕まりました。
出る前に、ちょっとアプリで確認しつつ出発すると良いと思います。
貴重品や着替えなどの荷物を預けて、借りた防水バックに携帯を入れて出発。
すぐにカヤック乗り場です。
ビーチサンダルで行きましたが、ビーチではないので、マリンシューズに方が良いと思います。
岩場からカヤックに乗り込みます。
そっから、1時間半程度カヤック、途中に洞窟に入ったりします。
そこから1時間程度のシュノーケリング。
ぐるぐる回って、大きなウニや色々な魚を鑑賞出来ました。
結構時間があるので、自分で撮れる水中カメラがあると良いかも知れません。
戻りでカヤック1時間で、ツアー終了です。
カヤック乗り場から見える、歩いて数分の所にある港にシャワー?と言うか、浴びれる水道があるので、そこで体を洗えます。
着替えは、その近くのトイレで行う感じです。
前日、電話で確認した際は、ガイドの方が写真を撮ってくれるとの事でしたが、体調不良でガイドの方が交代したようで、残念ながら写真は取って貰えず。
ただ、ハワイの海を堪能出来たのは楽しかったです。

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

It was really cold after all... やっぱり寒かった。。。

Reviewed by: Tourbillon

I arrived at the Onizuka Center around 4 PM and quickly received a sandwich and water for dinner. Even though the Onizuka Center is at an altitude of 2,800 meters, my climbing experience has taught me that appetite decreases at higher altitudes, so I ate quickly. There are restrooms available here, and I put on the down jacket I brought. They also offer rental of warm clothing, so I think it's better to dress warmly.

I stayed for about an hour before departing for the summit. The path is unpaved, so it’s bumpy. It seems you can go by private car, but it’s not covered by rental car insurance, and if you damage it, the charges can be exorbitant. Perhaps due to the altitude, I felt sleepy, but I was warned that sleeping could worsen altitude sickness, so it’s strictly prohibited.

At the summit, which is over 4,000 meters, I changed locations about three times and waited for about an hour for the sunset at the last spot. After waiting for the sunset, we descended and stopped at a parking lot along the way for stargazing and a photo session, which took about an hour. Each time we took photos, we had to wait for cars leaving the parking lot or passing on the road, which took time. During this, it was extremely cold at around 3,500 meters.

The descent felt longer as it was darker, and I took my time. After passing the Onizuka Center, we took a break for the restroom and to change clothes. By the time I returned to the hotel, it was 11 PM. Since the next day was early, I felt a bit rushed, but I decided to relax. I managed to cope with altitude sickness as advised, by not sleeping and taking deep breaths. Overall, it was quite a challenging tour, but it was a valuable and enjoyable experience.

16時過ぎくらいにオニヅカセンターに到着して、早々に夕食代りのサンドイッチと水を貰います。
オニヅカセンターでも標高2800メートルですが、登山経験で、より高所では食欲も無くなるので早々に頂きました。
ここはトイレもあり、持って行ったダウンを着込みました。
防寒着の貸し出しもやってくれていますので、厚めに着ておいた方が良いと思います。
しばらく、1時間程度滞在して、頂上へ出発。
道が舗装されてないので、ガタガタします。
自家用車でも行けるみたいですが、レンタカーの保険適用外で、壊すと半端なく高額請求されるようです。
高所の影響か、眠くなりますが、寝ると高山病が悪化するので寝るのは厳禁と注意されます。
4000メートルを超えた山頂では3箇所くらい場所を変えて滞在して、最後の場所で1時間くらい日没を待ちます。
日没を待ち下山、途中の駐車場に止まり、星空鑑賞と撮影会を行います。
それもなんだかんだと1時間くらい。
撮影の度に駐車場から出る車や、道路を通る車を待って撮影するので、時間が掛かります。
その間も激寒及び3500メートルくらいの標高。
下りの道の方が暗い中慎重に言っているのか、時間が掛かった感じがしました。
オニヅカセンターを越えて、しばらく行った先でトイレ休憩及び着替え。
ホテルに戻ったら、23時でした。
翌日が早かったので、ちょっと焦りましたが、諦めてゆったり構えてました。
高山病も教えられたとおりに、眠らずに、呼吸を深くで乗り切れました。
まあまあ、大変なツアーではありますが、貴重な経験で楽しかったです。

Legends of Hawaii Luau Dinner Show with Open Bar at Hilton Waikoloa Village

Great way to start your Hawaiian Vacation

Reviewed by: sassyn2002

So from other reviews you know the lines are long, especially in the heat. Now they have water fountains, and it does move semi quickly. But it would make sense to have the vip's seated 1st, then the GA seats enter by sections.

This would help with standing in the sun for to long.

The show it self was fantastic! Very entertaining, and kept you wanting more.

My only gripe, is that I am diabetic, and needed to eat sooner than later, and since I was the last table to be sat, we were the last table to be approved to get up to the Buffet. Also there was no sugar free desserts. Other than that the foods I was able to eat was delicious and flavorful. But I did end up in the restroom for most of the evening once returned back to the room. Could have been that some foods were in the temp danger zone for to long.

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー  レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ(ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ)<日・火・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題>

Enjoying the traditional Luau & Hula Hawaiian show for the first time in five years! 5年ぶりの伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショーをエンジョイ‼️

Reviewed by: seiさん

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I couldn't travel to Hawaii in 2020 and 2021, but I resumed my trips to Oahu in 2022 and 2023, and this time, it was my first trip to the Big Island in five years. As usual, I stayed at the Hilton resort in the Waikoloa area, but I felt that I couldn't truly experience the Big Island without seeing the traditional luau and hula Hawaiian show, which I also hadn't seen in five years. On the day of the event, it started drizzling, and as we transitioned from the first traditional hula show to dinner, the staff quickly distributed vinyl raincoats. By the time the Polynesian dancers' torch-lit group dance reached its peak, the rain had turned into a light mist, and most of the audience removed their raincoats. With the host's lively lead, the audience became one with the show and was filled with excitement. However, perhaps due to the rainy weather from the start, the program was moved up, and the audience participation hula was skipped, which was a bit disappointing.

コロナ禍で2020、2021年はハワイに行けなかったが、2022、2023年とオアフ島(ホノルル)で旅行を再開して、今回、5年ぶりのハワイ島旅行となった。いつもの様にワイコロア地区のヒルトンのリゾートに滞在したが、やはり伝統のルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショーを見ないとハワイ島に来た感じがしないと思い、これも5年ぶりの観覧となった。当日はスタートから小雨模様で、最初の伝統フラのショーから食事に切り替わる頃に、スタッフが手早くビニルのレインコートを配ってまわり、ポリネシアンダンサーのトーチを使った集団ダンスが佳境に入る頃には雨も細かい霧雨に変わり、観客の殆どがレインコートを脱ぎ去り、司会者の軽妙なリードで会場が一体となってショーに熱狂した。今回、スタートから雨模様のためか、プログラムの進行が全て前倒しで進められ、観客参加のフラがスキップされたりしたのが少々、残念であった。

Reviewed by: onechan

There were quite a few participants on the day, and we set off in two vehicles. Fortunately for our group, which consisted only of Japanese people, we had a guide named Shotaro who spoke Japanese and had a middle name. At the Onizuka Visitor Information Center, the fog thickened along the route to the summit, and we waited for about 30 minutes, worried that the tour might be canceled. However, the fog cleared, and we made it to the summit. The view was spectacular, with Maui Island peeking out beyond the sea of clouds. After descending to the parking lot, we enjoyed stargazing under a sky where the moon was at 29%, and we could see the Milky Way quite well. While sipping warm cocoa, we observed the night sky with the naked eye (including moving satellites) and used a telescope to view the moon's craters, taking many photos. It was a wonderful memory.

当日の参加者が結構多く、2台に分乗して出発しましたが、日本人だけのグループだった我々には運良くショウタロウさんというミドルネームをもった日本語のできるガイドさんがついてくれました。オニズカ・ビジター韻フメーションセンターでは山頂までのの区間で霧が濃くなり30分ほど待機、ツアーが中止になるのではとヒヤヒヤしましたが、なんとか霧が晴れて山頂へ。山頂からは雲海の向こうにマウイ島が顔を出しているのが確認できるなど最高の景色でした。途中の駐車場まで降りてからの星空観察は月が29%の状態で天の川観察もまずまず。暖かいココアを頂きながら肉眼で星空(動いている人工衛星も)、望遠鏡で月のクレーターを観察し、写真も沢山撮って頂きました。とても良い記念になりました。

Reviewed by: deviltomboy

I was able to climb to nearly the summit at an altitude of 4,200 meters (the actual summit is a sacred site and cannot be accessed on tours), which was a very valuable experience that I could never have in Japan. Despite it being mid-summer, the perceived temperature was below 10 degrees Celsius, but they provided jackets and gloves, so I was completely comfortable and not cold at all. The sandwiches for dinner were also delicious, perfectly seasoned to match the thin air at the summit.

日本では決して体験できない標高4,200メートルのほぼ頂上(頂上は聖地のためツアーでは行けない)まで上ることができ、とても貴重な体験ができました。
真夏にもかかわらず体感気温は10度以下になりますが、ジャケットや手袋を貸していただけるのでまったく寒くなく過ごせました。
夕食のサンドイッチも頂上の空気の薄さに合わせた塩気でとても美味しかったです。

■Guide
The guide was friendly, kind, and provided thorough explanations. The shuttle bus was on time, and they offered a free photography service.

■Tour
The weather was good, and the content matched what was stated on the website. The hot cocoa served while stargazing was very delicious.

■Altitude Sickness Measures
We climbed gradually with breaks, but there were moments when I found it a bit hard to breathe. However, following the guide's instructions to take deep breaths helped improve my condition, and I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues until the end. It seems there is oxygen available for emergencies, so I think it's best not to push yourself too hard.

■Free Photography Service
The guide took photos with their camera and shared them via AirDrop. It seems to be a cultural practice, but since all the photos taken are distributed, my pictures were also shared with other participants. If you're concerned about this, you can politely decline and take your own photos.

■Aside
A couple I met on a snorkeling tour in Maui two days prior was also here, and even though I was participating alone, I was able to enjoy conversations with them. Fortunately, many others were friendly as well, and we were able to take photos of each other.

■ガイド
気さくで親切、丁寧な説明、無料の撮影サービス、時間通りの送迎バスでした。

■ツアー
天候もよくHP記載通りの内容でした。
星空を見ながらサーブされたホットココアがとてもおいしかったです。

■高山病対策
休憩してならしながら登っていきますが、私はやや呼吸がきついタイミングがありました。
ただ、ガイドさんの指示通りしばらく深呼吸すると改善し、最後まで問題なく楽しめました。緊急時の酸素もあるみたいなので絶対に無理はしない方がいいと思います。

■無料写真撮影サービス
ガイドさんのカメラで撮ってくれたものをエアドロで配ってくれます。
文化的なものかと思いますが、撮ったもの全てが配られるため自分の写真も他の参加者に渡ります。気になる方は自分で撮るからと断っても良いかと思います。

■余談
二日前にマウイ島で参加したシュノーケリングツアーにいたご夫婦がこちらにもいらっしゃり、ひとり参加だったのですが彼らと楽しく会話しながら過ごせました。他の方もたまたま気さくな方が多く、写真を撮り合ったりできました。
