Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

Clouds and storms ruined it

Reviewed by: Fiona

We had hoped the weather would clear, but, unfortunately, despite our tour guide’s best efforts to find some clearing, we were beaten by the weather. Our guide, Hunter, was extremely knowledgeable and tried really hard to wait for some sign of being able to observe anything, but had to cancel with no luck. I can imagine it would have been spectacular to see and hear the wealth of information he would have been able to provide if we could have seen it.

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Nikhil

It was perfect! The crew was really kind and helpful. The captain was really funny and entertaining. And the star of the show - the Manta Rays - we're absolutely breathtaking. We were lucky to find a group of Manta Rays en route and decided to drop anchor and just spent all the time there. That gave us more time with the Manta Rays. We weren't the best swimmers so the crew helped us with life jackets and they helped to and fro the float. We had a great time and I would absolutely recommend them.

Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour Experience with Free Professional Photos - Epic Tours

BEST STARGAZING TOUR!!! The professional photo with this great tour gives you awesome lasting memories!!

Reviewed by: Deborah

You should definitely do this tour. This is the best stargazing tour! I was trying to book the other tours but because of our location it would of required us to drive across the island to meet up and then gather with others to ride together to stargaze. It was like a 7 or 8 hour tour. I chose this tour because we could pick a time slot and just meet and stargaze and the tour was only 2 hours AND with a photo. On our way it was pouring rain. We thought the tour would be canceled. But James sent us a new location. There was no rain and perfect place to be in awe of all of the stars we would be able to see. His knowledge of astronomy and his professional photography made the experience more memorable. I didn't think that much of the photo we would receive. But after getting the photo was was in awe!! We was not only able to learn so much about astronomy, but we was able to have the best souvenir of our experience!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour マウナケア山頂サンセット&星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: tokko

The sunset was partly obscured by clouds, but it was still a wonderful sky that made me forget the chilly atmosphere. And the starry sky was simply amazing, with so many stars that it was breathtaking. The explanations of the constellations were clear and enjoyable, which left me very satisfied. My son was also happy to learn how to take photos with a DSLR camera. Thank you very much. The sandwiches, which should not be forgotten, were delicious as well. I would love to participate again when I come back to the Big Island of Hawaii. Next time, I hope to catch the sunset perfectly!

サンセットは雲が出て余り見れなかったのですが
それでも幻想的な寒さを忘れる素敵な空でした。
そして何と言っても星空は素晴らしいあまりにも沢山の星達に圧巻でした。星座の説明もわかりやすく楽しく教えてくれて大満足です。
息子は一眼レフのカメラでの写真の撮り方も教えてもらえて喜んでいました。
本当にありがとうございました。

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner

Must Do Tour! Best Part of Our Trip to Hawaii!

Reviewed by: Erika & Nate

Wow! This tour was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our tour guide, Bryce, was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever met. He knew so much of the history and culture of Hawaii and told us so many in depth stories with a lot of detail. He also has extensive knowledge in almost every topic known to man and can easily talk about any topic for hours—literally! This tour was super long but so worth it. Bryce kept us entertained the whole time while driving from place to place. The volcano was spectacular to see in both the day and the night! In the day, you get to enjoy the vastness of the volcano and see all the steam vents. In the night—wow nothing will ever beat that experience—the most stars you will ever see in the night sky and the lava flow was unreal! So unbelievably cool. This really was the best tour we have ever been on—amazing sights, fun times, and extremely informative! Highly recommend!

We had a great time! The whole tour was packed with well thought out stops.
Our guide Chris was a wealth of information on the history and culture of the island. We could not have asked for a better guide. He was engaging, attentive and professional. He never tired of the countless questions we had.
The coffee farm was the perfect setting for a quick lunch. The views were absolutely beautiful!
The dinner was nice and cozy and gave us a chance to get to know our fellow riders.

I was lucky to be in a small group for this tour so the guide was very flexible with the schedule and we had enough time to enjoy each place. Our guide was a very knowledgeable local man who knows a lot about Hawaiian history and how the different spots we visited have changed through time.
All the stops we made at the volcano's park were totally worth it but my favorite spot in this tour was the Akaka Falls, what a gorgeous place!!!

It was amazing. This sums it up perfectly.
I extended my trip to the Big Island specifically for this tour, and it was definitely worth it.
Since returning home, I have already recommended it to several acquaintances.

The guide took photos for us, which were shared for free on the spot. They were also very accommodating with photo requests.
The explanations during the tour were in English, but necessary information was also provided in Japanese, so I think it would be no problem even for those who are not good at English.

The sandwiches and hot cocoa we had along the way were very comforting.
Thank you, Shouyou.
The conversations during the ride back were also very enjoyable.

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　3段に流れるウマウマ滝でハイキングや滝壺遊びもあり！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞

Horseback riding and waterfall play are the best! 乗馬と滝遊び最高

Reviewed by: 俊太郎

This was my third time horseback riding on the Big Island, but this time it was a tour that not only included riding but also allowed us to enter the waterfall pool. The weather was great, and the scenery was beautiful. At the waterfall pool, we were able to get close to the falls on a stand-up paddleboard. The water was a bit cold, but it was such a rare opportunity that I decided to jump in. I couldn't swim smoothly, but it was a valuable experience! The American family I was with had three boys who dove into the waterfall pool from the rocks, and the dad followed, with the mom joining in at the end! They looked like they were having a blast. There was also a zip line tour that went over the top of the waterfall (that looked pretty speedy and fun too). I definitely want to participate in that next time. Overall, it was a really enjoyable tour!

ハワイ島での乗馬は3回目でしたが
今回は乗馬だけでなく、滝壺にも入れるツアー、天気も良く景色もよく
滝つぼではサップボードに乗り滝の近くまで行けました。水は少し冷たかったがめったにない機会なので思い切ってはいりました。さすがにすいすいと泳ぐことはできなかったですが、貴重な経験！同行したアメリカ人の家族は男の子３人は岩の上から滝つぼにダイブ、お父さんも続き最後はお母さんも！
すごく楽しそうでした。他のツアーでは滝の上を通過するジップラインもありました（こちらもけっこうすぴーどがあり楽しそうでした）
次回はこちらも参加したなと、とにかく楽しいツアーでした。

This was my second time, following my first visit in August 2019. There were concerns about high waves due to the remnants of a storm from the previous day, but our Japanese guide, Nino, was very kind and sent us many photos. My wife and I were the only participants, which allowed us to enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace. The only downside was that the snorkeling visibility was worse compared to my last visit due to the storm. However, this is an activity I would like to participate in again if I visit the Big Island.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset Kilauea Volcano and Mauna Kea Mountain Starry Sky マウナケア山頂サンセット キラウエア火山とマウナケア山麓星空

Reviewed by: YAMA

It was our first time on the Big Island, so my husband and I participated in two tours. Since it was our first time booking an overseas tour individually from Japan, we were a bit anxious, but we received email confirmations before departure, which made us feel at ease for the day.

On the day of the tour, we had a wonderful time at the summit of Mauna Kea with our guide, a bright young man named Stephan. There were 13 Japanese participants, so the entire tour was conducted in Japanese. It was very cold at the summit, but we were moved by the incredible sunset. We took many commemorative photos together, and enjoyed warm cocoa to warm up. We also got to see the moon and Saturn through a telescope. However, what surprised me even more was seeing satellites moving here and there! That was astonishing.

The next day, we had a knowledgeable young guide named Moana for the Kilauea Volcano. Since it was just the two of us, we were able to hear many interesting stories in Japanese. The bright red volcanic smoke from Kilauea was breathtaking. The starry sky at the foot of the mountain was also wonderful. That day, we saw the moon and Jupiter through a telescope, and took a lovely commemorative photo in front of the constellation Cassiopeia. We took many commemorative photos at each location we visited.

Participating in these tours over two days was a very meaningful and valuable experience for us. I would like to join this tour again in a different season. I am grateful to the two guides who took care of us. Thank you very much (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈).

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide

Nice trip but operational mistakes

Reviewed by: TravelCouple

It was nice and cold at the summit, but the provided clothes helped a lot. Guide was informative although not nice. The bus to the top is very old and has a poor seating arrangement of mostly rows of three, so couples will be separated. Additionally, if you are separated on the way up, the guide will specifically force you to be separated on the way down in order to preserve your initial seats.

I have an egg allergy and specifically requested egg free food, yet the sandwich I was provided had mayonnaise and I was left with no other options.

The summit was a nice tour but I would recommend a different company. The other buses we saw were much nicer.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Easily the best tour guided experience we've ever done!

Reviewed by: Samantha Creamer

This tour was AMAZING from start to end. Yes this is a pricer tour to book; however, you truly get a ton for your money. This is a long event; we got picked up at 2pm and back around 10pm. The pickup location was very convenient right in Kona Town. You are provided a solid dinner, dessert, and hot beverages while stargazing. You get to sit back and relax during the drive and enjoy the wealth of knowledge from the tour guide. Speaking of, our tour guide Art was absolutely outstanding! He was knowledgeable, approachable, and entertaining. Also the star-gazing area is private to tours and had a high level telescope for easy viewing. We were fortunate enough to see a really big shooting star during our viewing. We were also provided super warm parkas which was great because it is quite chilly at the summit. I could go on and on about this tour but I would 100% book this again and personally recommend this specific tour to family and friends.

P.S. Did we say how amazing Art was?!

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

I was able to see a manta ray up close! マンタを間近で見れました！

Reviewed by: まさまさ

I participated in a tour on October 30. I had originally planned a different night tour, but it was canceled on the day due to bad weather. I had been recommended the manta ray tour by a local Lyft driver, so I hurriedly booked the evening tour for that day. In the end, it was a great decision.

Listening to the explanations from the Japanese guide made for a reassuring boat trip. It was also a wonderful memory to see the sunset sinking into the sea and to spot baby whales along the way.

As for the mantas, I was able to see about six of them. They shared the videos and photos taken with a GoPro, which allowed me to focus on the mantas in front of me without getting distracted by filming. The mantas gracefully swam just a meter away, and after watching them for a while, I completely lost track of everyday life and felt as if there was only the mantas and myself in the world.

After returning to the boat, we were served warm cocoa. It was soothing and comforting for my slightly tired and chilled body.

Since this seems to be an experience you can't have on Oahu, I highly recommend participating in this tour if you visit the Big Island.

10/30にツアー参加。
元々別の夜ツアーを予定していたのですが、それが悪天候で当日キャンセルとなりました。
マンタツアーのことは、事前にLyftの地元運転手からお勧めされていたので、急いで当日夕方のツアーを予約しました。
結果的には大正解でした。
日本人のガイドさんの説明を聞きながら、安心した船旅となりました。
途中で海に沈む夕陽や、子どもの鯨を見ることができたのも良い思い出です。

肝心のマンタは、6枚ほど見ることができました。
GoProで撮影した動画や写真を共有してもらえたので、撮影に気を取られず、目の前のマンタに集中することができました。
1mの距離で身を翻し、優雅に泳ぐマンタ。
しばらく見ていると、日常は完全に頭から消え、世界にマンタと自分だけしかいないような錯覚に陥りました。

船に戻ってからは温かいココアを振る舞ってもらえました。
少し疲れて冷えた身体に染み渡るココアでした。

オアフ島では体験できないイベントらしいので、ハワイ島を訪れたらぜひ参加してもらいたいツアーです。
