Milky Way Milky Way- 天の川

Reviewed by: YOSHI**

On my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I was able to see the beautiful Milky Way. There were a few clouds, but I was moved by the starry sky that I can't see in Japan. When I think about it, it was truly my first experience seeing the "Milky Way" in my life... Even in my mid-50s, having a first experience is a wonderful thing!

初めてのハワイ島で、美しい天の川を見ることができました。少し雲が出たりしましたが、日本では見ることができない星空に感動しました。よく考えてみると、「天の川」を本当に見たのは人生初の体験でした...。50代半ばになっても、人生初って良いものですね!

I was picked up at my hotel around 2:00 PM and was able to see the sunset and the starry sky. I was worried about the weather since it was raining in Kona in the morning, but the summit was clear with no clouds, and the view was very beautiful. We stopped at several observatories along the way, and I was able to take a lot of photos. I appreciated that our Japanese guide, SHOYO, came along and provided support in Japanese at times. I highly recommend this tour!

Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay

Magical must do experience!

Reviewed by: Holli

If you'e going to Kona, you HAVE to night snorkel with the manta rays! It was such a magical experience that felt once in a lifetime. Initially, I was scared to get into the ocean at night, but once you're in the water, the wonder and amazement settled my fears.

This tour is a particularly good one to choose because the boat ride to "Manta Village" is only about 5 minutes from the dock. There are other tours where you leave from a different dock and the boat ride is 45 minutes. For someone that gets seasick, choosing this tour over others is a no brainer.

Be aware that they may change your tour time. During my visit, they were offering tours at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm. We booked the 7pm tour. On the day of tour, they called us at about 1pm and told us the 7pm tour was being cancelled because there weren't enough people signed up. They asked us to join the 6pm tour. They did the same with the 8pm group. Luckily, it worked with our schedule and wasn't a big deal, but it's something to be aware of.

Amazing must do experience!

Reviewed by: Holli

This tour was one of my favorite things we did while on the Big Island! Initially, the plan was to just go to the Waipi'o Valley lookout. I am so glad we ended up deciding to take the tour. You're taken down into the valley (on an extremely steep road) in a 10ish seater van. I get really carsick and had no issues during the tour. Our wonderful guide, Forrest, informed us of the history of the valley and it's people. He was extremely informative and clearly cares so much about the valley and it's history. The views inside the valley were stunning! Do yourself a favor and book this tour.

I traveled to Hawaii using a cruise and participated in this tour. Since I was picked up from a hotel near the port, I didn't have to worry about finding the meeting place. Fortunately, there were many Japanese participants, so I was able to receive guidance in Japanese. We took about 45 minutes to acclimatize to the altitude, allowing us to enjoy our time at the summit without stress. I'm grateful to the two guides.

It was a completely different experience from what I've had on Oahu before. I was moved by the sea of clouds and the sunset from the mountaintop that I saw for the first time. I highly recommend seeing and experiencing it for yourself.

The explanation of the starry sky with a pointer was as clear as a planetarium. Fortunately, our guide had Japanese roots and was able to explain everything in Japanese. The lecture on altitude sickness was especially helpful.

It was a wonderful tour, filled with friendly interactions among the other members. Mahalo!

An experience at a location higher than the summit of Mount Fuji. (17th/Sep./2025)富士山よりも高い場所での体験An experience at a location higher than the summit of Mount Fuji)

Reviewed by: Y.T.

It was the best experience.
The tour was conducted entirely in English, but our guide James also mixed in some Japanese for casual conversation and explanations.
The tour started with a pickup at the Target parking lot at 1 PM, and from there, we headed to the Mauna Kea Onizuka Visitor Center in about 2 to 3 hours. After a restroom break, we finally made our way to the summit. Along the way, we stopped at the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) for some photo opportunities. We arrived at the summit before 6 PM, took some time to explore, and waited for the sunset around 6:30 PM. The view above the sea of clouds was truly magnificent during this time.
At 6:30 PM, the sunset was unobstructed and absolutely beautiful. The cirrus clouds were artistic, and I was glad to have participated.
We boarded the van before 7 PM to descend and stopped for about an hour to stargaze. We were able to see the Milky Way and the Summer Triangle. The explanation about the stars was helpful, and it was easy to see since there were no lights on the mountain.
After that, we descended in the van, took a restroom break at the Onizuka Visitor Center, returned to Kona, and disbanded at our respective drop-off locations around 10 PM.
As a solo traveler, I honestly debated between the Kilauea Volcano + stargazing tour due to financial and time considerations. However, I thought that the opportunity to see the sunset from the summit is something rare even in Japan, so I chose this tour, and it was definitely the right decision. (By the way, I visited Kilauea Volcano by car the next day.)
As a side note, the BLT sandwich was surprisingly delicious. I would love to have it again.
This tour became a valuable experience. Thank you, James.

最高の体験でした。
ツアー自体は英語オンリーでしたが、ガイドのJamesが、日本語も織り交ぜて雑談や説明をしてくれました。
ツアーとしては、13時にTarget(スーパーマーケット)の駐車場でピックアップがあり、そこから2,3時間ほどで、まずはマウナケア山のオニヅカ・ビジター・センターへ。お手洗休憩などを済ませ、いよいよ山頂へ。途中で、The Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA)などに立ち寄り、各自での写真撮影タイムもありました。山頂には18時前に到着し、しばらく散策し、18時半ごろの日の入りを待ちました。この間も雲海上の景色は本当に素晴らしかったです。
いよいよ18時半、日の入りは遮るものが何もなく、本当に綺麗でした。鱗雲も芸術的で、参加して良かったと思いました。
19時前にバンに乗り込み下山し、途中で1時間ほど星空観測をしました。天の川や夏の大三角も見れました。星空の解説もあり助かりました。山の途中で明かりがなかったのでよく見えました。
その後、バンで下山し、途中でオニヅカオニヅカ・ビジター・センターでお手洗休憩を済ませ、コナに戻り、22時頃に各自の解散場所にて解散という形です。
一人旅であり、正直、金銭面、時間面で、キラウエア火山+星空のツアーと迷いました。ただ、山頂で夕陽を見る機会なんて日本でも滅多に無いことだと思い、こちらを選びましたが、やはり正解でした。(なお、キラウエア火山には翌日車で行きました。)
余談ですが、BLTサンドイッチはビックリするほど美味しかったです。また食べたいと思いましました。
このツアーは貴重な経験になりました。James、ありがとうございました。

We departed from Kailua-Kona, and after a while, we encountered heavy rain. The weather wasn't great even when we entered Saddle Road. I wondered if everything would be okay, but when we arrived at the visitor center, it was cloudy and we couldn't see the summit. Trusting the words of our guide, Shoyo, who said, "The weather at the top is different," we headed towards the summit. At a certain point (around 3000m?), the clouds cleared, and it was a beautiful sunny day. He carefully explained the Palomar Observatory group as we toured around. And then came the much-anticipated sunset. It was a bit cold and windy, but we were able to see the most amazing sunset. After the sun went down, we enjoyed stargazing a little further down. We could see the Milky Way perfectly. It was great to see Saturn through the telescope. The explanation of the constellations was in Japanese, so I understood it well. It was truly a fun experience, thank you very much.

カイルアコナから出発して、しばらく行くと、大雨。サドルロードに入ってもあまり良い天気ではありませんでした。大丈夫かなと、思いながら着いたビジターセンターは曇りで、山頂は見えませんでした。「頂上の天気は違います」と言う、ガイドの翔洋さんの言葉を信じて、頂上へ向かいました。ある所(3000m位かな?)から、雲が切れて、快晴でした。パロマ天文台群を丁寧に説明して回ってくれました。そして、お待ちかねのサンセットです。風が強くて少し寒かったですが、最高の夕陽が見れました。日が暮れた後は、少し降りた所で、星空鑑賞でした。天の川もバッチリ見えました。土星🪐を天体望遠鏡で見れたのは良かったです。星座の説明は、日本語だったので、良くわかりました。本当に、楽しい体験、ありがとうございました。

From the base, the mountaintop was covered in clouds, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see it, but we were able to see it very beautifully. During the tour, our guide, James, was always attentive and took many photos for us! Thank you!

綺麗な夕日と星空を見ることができて大満足でした。麓から見ると山頂は雲に包まれていて、無事に見れるか心配していましたが、とても綺麗に見ることが出来ました。
ツアー中はガイドのジェームスさんが常に気にかけてくれ、写真もたくさん撮ってもらいました!ありがとう!

The sunset and the starry sky were beautiful. The starry sky was so stunning that I can confidently say it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The guide was also interesting and provided an easy-to-understand explanation in Japanese, which was great.

Since all participants were Japanese, it was initially assumed that the communication would be in English, but ultimately everything was conducted in Japanese. The Japanese staff made sure to accommodate only Japanese participants and were considerate right up until the last moment.

The view from the ground was obscured by cloudy skies, but once we ascended above 4,000 meters, we emerged above the clouds and were able to see a beautiful blue sky, a sea of clouds, and a stunning sunset. The explanation regarding altitude sickness prevention was thorough.

We were also able to see an incredibly beautiful Milky Way. The constellations were explained in detail, and the guide took beautiful photos with their camera.

参加者が全員日本人のため、当初は英語の前提でしたが、結果的にすべて日本語で案内してくれました。日本人は日本人だけのバンで固めてくれて直前まで気を遣ってくださいます。
地上から山頂は見えない曇り空でしたが、4000メートルを超えたあたりから雲の上に出て綺麗な青空と雲海とサンセットを見ることができました。高山病対策の説明も丁寧です。
星空もこれ以上ない綺麗な天の川を見ることができました。星座も丁寧に説明してくださり、写真もガイドさんのカメラで綺麗に撮ってくれます。

This was my second participation in 16 years. The weather at the base was bad, but as the guide explained, it was fine at the summit, and I had a wonderful experience. I was thrilled to see a sky full of stars again. I don't know when I'll come back next, but I definitely plan to participate again when I visit the Big Island.
P.S. Thank you for your cheerful response even though I was late for the pickup time.

16年振り2回目の参加でした。麓の天気は悪かったですが山頂は大丈夫とのガイドさんの説明通り、素晴らしい体験ができました。満天以上の星空を再び見ることができ感激です。次はいつかわかりませんが、ビッグアイランドに来たら必ず参加すると思います。

It's worth coming to Hawaii Island for this! これのためにハワイ島に来る価値あり!

The weather was favorable, and I was able to see wonderful scenery. The sunset over the sea of clouds at the summit of Mauna Kea was truly breathtaking. James, our guide this time, knew all the photo spots and took a lot of pictures for us. It was a great memory.

During the stargazing, we had a guide who spoke Japanese, which made everything very easy to understand and interesting.

They lent us warm clothing and prepared hot cocoa, providing us with excellent hospitality. I also thought it would be nice to see the scenery on a clear day.

天候にも恵まれ、素晴らしい景色を見ることができました。
マウナケア山頂で見た雲海に沈む夕陽はまさに絶景でした。今回ガイドをしてくれたJamesは、各所でのフォトスポットを知っていて、写真をたくさん撮ってくれました。いい思い出です。

Tips and suggestions

If you enjoy photography, I think you can take landscape photos yourself with a tripod. Also, since there are limits to the cold-weather gear you can borrow, we brought thick socks, tights, and fleece

Tips and suggestions

写真が好きな方は三脚があれば自分でも風景を撮ることができると思います。また、借りられる防寒具では限界があるため、私たちは厚手の靴下、タイツ、フリースなどを持って行きました。程良かったです。

It became the best memory on the Big Island! ハワイ島での最高の思い出となりました!

Reviewed by: KM

This time, I participated in the long-awaited Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour on the Big Island. There was a paid shuttle service to the hotel where I was staying, and we started from there. We headed from the Kona area to Waikoloa, picking up other guests along the way, aiming for the summit in a 12-passenger bus. Our guide was James. The main instructions were in English, but he made a great effort to include Japanese for us, and his explanations were very easy to understand as he spoke slowly.

We took a break at the Onizuka Center to acclimatize to the high altitude. At that time, there was fog, and it was uncertain whether we could reach the summit, but thanks to the ranger checking the situation and clearing the way, we were able to proceed safely to the top. Although I didn't feel unwell, I realized the importance of staying hydrated and having light snacks as a precaution against altitude sickness.

The sunset at the summit was one of the most beautiful sights of my life. The view of the sun setting on the horizon and the changing colors of the sky was indescribably moving. James was very kind with photography, using a professional camera to take wonderful pictures. Additionally, there was a Japanese guide on another bus, which was reassuring as we could hear detailed explanations in Japanese.

During the tour, we were served BLT sandwiches and water, which filled us up. There were also jackets and pants available for rent to keep warm, making it comfortable. As night fell, the long-awaited stargazing began. The guide carefully explained the constellations and the universe, and I was able to see the most beautiful Milky Way and a sky full of stars in my life. There were opportunities for photography under the starry sky and hot cocoa service, making it a truly comprehensive experience.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island. It was worth more than the price, and it became an unforgettable experience.

今回、ハワイ島で念願だったマウナケアのサンセットと天体観測ツアーに参加しました。宿泊していたホテルまで有料送迎があり、まずはそこからスタート。他のゲストをピックアップしながらコナ地区からワイコロアへ向かい、12人乗りのバスで山頂を目指しました。ガイドを務めてくれたのはジェームスさん。基本は英語での案内でしたが、私たちのために一生懸命日本語も交えてくれ、スピードもゆっくりで非常に聞きやすい説明でした。

途中、オニヅカセンターで休憩し、高地に体を慣らしました。このとき霧が発生しており、山頂まで行けるかどうかはギリギリの状況でしたが、レンジャーが状況を確認し道を開けてくれたため、無事に頂上まで進むことができました。体調不良は特になかったものの、高山病対策として水分補給や軽食を心がけることが大切だと感じました。

そして迎えた山頂でのサンセットは、これまでの人生で一番といえるほどの美しさでした。水平線に沈む太陽と、空の色合いが刻々と変化していく光景は、言葉では言い尽くせない感動でした。ジェームスさんは写真撮影にもとても親切で、プロ仕様のカメラを使って素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれました。さらに、別のバスには日本人ガイドも同行しており、日本語で詳しい解説を聞くことができたのも安心できるポイントでした。

ツアー中にはBLTサンドイッチと水のサービスがあり、これでお腹を満たすことができました。寒さ対策として上着やズボンの貸し出しもあり、快適に過ごせました。夜になると、待ちに待った天体観測が始まります。ガイドが星座や宇宙の解説を丁寧にしてくれ、人生で最も美しい天の川と満天の星空を見ることができました。星空の下での写真撮影やホットココアのサービスもあり、まさに至れり尽くせりの内容でした。

ハワイ島を訪れる方には、ぜひとも参加をおすすめしたいツアーです。値段以上の価値があり、一生忘れられない体験となりました。

I brought dried plums. Make sure to enjoy a wonderful experience with plenty of salt and snacks. It seems that it's rare not to reach the summit due to fog.
