Big Island
This experience was great ! Thank you ! Francis was very nice !
There is an observatory. The starry sky is very beautiful. I do not recommend driving there by yourself. The return trip is dark and the roads are bad.
天文台があります。星空か、とても綺麗です。自分で運転して見に行くのは、おすすめ出来ません。帰りは、暗く道も悪いです。
The summit is cold, so it's necessary to take measures against the cold.
山頂は寒いので、防寒対策が必要です。

This tour is long but well worth it. We were picked up at the Starbucks, Queen’s Shopping Center, Waikoloa Beach Resort. We drove to the Mauna Kea Visitor’s Center where we had a very nice dinner. Next we went to the summit to view the telescopes and sunset from almost 14,000 feet. We the viewed the night sky through telescopes in almost complete darkness. Our driver and guide, Arthur, was fantastic. What a great experience!
This is a must see. Shuttle tour was safe, timely, and very informative. Our guide actually grew up in the valley so shared very accurate info. Beautiful place.
The starry sky was very beautiful. Also, the explanation of the constellations was good. I wouldn't really recommend driving yourself to the summit and back, as there are some bad spots on the road, and it's dark on the way back.
とても綺麗な星空でした。また、星座の説明も、良かったです。自分で運転して、山頂まで往復するのは、
あまりおすすめできません。道が悪い所もあり、帰りは、暗いです。
I recommend it.
おすすめです。

My first time at Mauna Kea! I had a valuable experience, and I felt reassured to have a Japanese guide named Shoyou! It was fun to chat as well ^_^
はじめてのマウナケア！貴重な体験ができたし、日本人のガイドさんしょうようさんがいて安心しました！お話もできて楽しかったです^_^

During my stay on Oahu, I took a two-day, one-night trip to the Big Island and participated in this tour! I was impressed by the bilingual guide, Sho-yo, and I had a valuable experience learning about Hawaii's history and culture in such a short time. I was worried about the weather throughout, but I was able to enjoy the world's most beautiful sunset, and the explanation of the starry sky was wonderful! Thank you for making my year-end vacation so special!
オアフ島に滞在しながら、一泊二日で
ハワイ島に出かけ、こちらのツアーに参加させていただきました！
翔洋さんのバイリンガルガイドにも感心しましたが、短い時間に貴重な体験とハワイの歴史と文化を感じ、たいへん勉強になりました！
終始お天気が心配でしたが、世界一の夕日も堪能させていただき、星空の説明も素敵でした！
とても素晴らしい年末休暇を彩っていただき
ありがとうございました！
This is definitely a recommended tour!
是非おすすめのツアーです！

When I climbed the mountain, I emerged from the clouds that enveloped the lower world, and it was truly mystical. The observatory, the sunset, and the starry sky made for a very fulfilling tour.
The various stories shared by our guide, James, were enjoyable and very educational! Thank you so much.
山を登っていったとき、下界が雲に包まれているうえに出て、なんとも神秘的でした。天文台、日没、そして星空ととても充実したツアーでした。
ガイドのジェームズさんによる様々なお話が楽しくとても勉強になりました！本当にありがとうございました。

We had a great time with Kimo. He made us feel at ease. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He was able to answer our questions and did not make us feel dumb. He also seemed to genuinely enjoy our party’s craziness.
This was my second time participating, and I loved it just as much as last year! The two-hour horseback riding experience with the adorable horses is something you can't find in Japan. The hospitality of the staff was also wonderful, and I was very satisfied once again! I've been to the Big Island over ten times, but this experience is truly the best.
昨年に引き続き、大変気に入って2度目の参加でした！かわいい馬と一緒にたっぷり2時間の乗馬体験は日本では味わえません。スタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく、今回も大満足でした！ハワイ島は10回以上来ていますが、この体験は本当に最高です。
There are places where you'll need to push through branches, so long pants are a must!
枝葉をかき分けて行く場所もあるので、長ズボンは必須です！

After the snorkel, the crew offered hot cocoa and snacks, which was a nice way to warm up and reflect on the experience during the ride back under the stars
The tour was super well organized, with a guide who shared interesting insights along the way!
This tour is a must do while visiting the Big Island, as it has a perfect combination of natural beauty, cultural context, and astronomy!!!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable sharing rich history and stories that really brought Waipio Valley to life. Navigating the roads with this company felt safe, and the off-road portion allowed us to access areas we never could have reached on our own! A win
On the day of the tour, the weather in Kona was cloudy, which made me a bit worried, but it turned out to be no problem at all! The sunset was surrounded by a sea of clouds, creating a very magical atmosphere. For stargazing, even though the half-moon was out, I was able to see the Milky Way and winter constellations perfectly, making it a wonderfully romantic experience! Overall, the tour was smooth and efficient, and the guide was very kind, providing a comfortable experience.
当日コナは曇りで天気が心配でしたが、
全く問題にならなかったです！
サンセットは一面雲海で、とても幻想的でした。
星空観測も、半月が出ていましたが、天の川や冬の星座はばっちりと見れ、十分にロマンチックな体験でした！
また、全体を通してスムーズで無駄のないツアーで、ガイドもとても親切にしていただき、快適な体験ができました。

What an amazing experience! We had the perfect weather conditions to watch an amazing sunset and an absolutely clear night to see the stars. BUT what made this trip unforgettable is James our tour guide. He is funny knowledgeable and kind. He made sure we were able to capture moments throughout our trip. He is an amazing photographer and was intentional in capturing our photos with the sunset and with the millions of stars! You have to book your trip with Hawaiian Eyes Tours.
We packed layering clothes and added layers as we traveled up. Their gear was clean and necessary!
Guide Show was friendly, and I was able to relax and enjoy the entire time. Not only did I learn about Mauna Kea, but I also gained insight into Hawaii's background and history, making it a very fulfilling experience. The sandwiches they prepared were delicious, and it was a memorable experience.
ガイドのショウさんが気さくで、終始リラックスして楽しめました。マウナケアだけでなく、ハワイの背景や歴史も学べてとても充実。用意してくれたサンドイッチも美味しく、心に残る体験でした。

The content of the sunset and starry sky, as well as the detailed support from gathering to dispersal, made it a great experience to participate.

Lots of great sights throughout, the water is very crystal clear in kona
Sunset views in Big Island was the best sunset we ever seen!!
Aloha Kara, Mahalo for joining us and your kind words! We have high hopes that you'll join us again someday soon!
I participated in the Mauna Kea stargazing tour led by the tour guide Yorkie. It was great that Yorkie could speak Japanese, allowing us to hear explanations about the constellations in our language. During the drive up to the summit, he reminded us several times about measures to prevent altitude sickness, and we all practiced deep breathing together. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy the tour energetically. The sandwiches were delicious too. He also shared a lot of information about local shops! It was a fantastic tour where we got to see the best sunset and starlit sky, and I was very satisfied.
ツアーガイドヨーキーさんのマウナケア星空ツアーに参加しました。ヨーキーさんは日本語もできるため、日本語で星座の説明を聞けてとてもよかったです。また、山頂に着くまでのドライブ中は、高山病にならないための対策を何度もリマインドいただき、みんなで深呼吸などを行い、おかげさまでツアー中元気に過ごすことができました。
サンドイッチも美味しかったです。
地元のお店などもたくさん教えていただきました！
最高の夕日と星空を観測できて大満足のツアーでした。
There were people who came on their own with rental cars like Jeeps, but considering altitude sickness prevention and the points for stargazing, I think it was a good decision to join the tour!
jeepなどのレンタカーならば自分たちで来ている人もいましたが、高山病対策や星座のポイントなどのことを考えるとツアーに参加して良かったと思いました！

Thanks to the captain and the naturalist, I was able to encounter whales at an incredibly close distance. I was told it was a very lucky experience.
船長やナチュラリストのおかげで、ものすごく至近距離でクジラに出会えました。とってもラッキーなことだと言われました。
I think it's better to go dressed in a way that can handle getting wet.
濡れても大丈夫な格好で行く方がいいと思います。
ありがとうございます！私たちの船にご参加いただき、感謝します！
Mahalo for joining us onboard!

The weather forecast was bad, but the sunset at the summit was wonderful with a salmon pink sky! The starry sky also defied the weather forecast, and I was able to observe the Milky Way, which made me very satisfied. The guide was fluent in both English and Japanese, and the explanations were easy to understand, allowing us to have a truly wonderful time!
天気予報は悪かったのですが、山頂でのサンセットはサーモンピンクの空が広がりとても素敵でした！星空も天気予報を覆し、ミルキーウェイも観察できて、大変満足でした。
ガイドの方も英語・日本語堪能で、解説もわかりやすくとても素敵な時間が過ごせました！！

The stars were very visible. I have seen stars from the 8th station of Mount Fuji in the past, but this time there were more and they were more beautiful. I'm glad I participated in the tour.
The sunset was beautiful, but it felt just as I expected.
The BLT sandwich we were given for dinner was something I wasn't expecting, but it was packed with ingredients and delicious, haha.
星が非常によく見えました。
過去に富士山8号目から星を見たことがありますが、今回の方が綺麗かつたくさん見れました。ツアー参加してよかったなと思います
夕日も綺麗でしたが期待通りといった感じ
夕食として配られたBLTサンドは期待していなかったですが、具沢山で美味しかったです笑
The summit is very cold and windy, so warm clothing is necessary.
山頂は風が強く非常に寒いので防寒必要です

It was an English tour, but I appreciated that they provided explanations in Japanese here and there. The sunset at Mauna Kea was truly beautiful, and as we drove up, I could feel the temperature dropping gradually with the increasing elevation, which made me realize just how high the mountain is. I can't believe we could drive all the way to the summit!
The photo opportunities were fantastic, with many great poses suggested, and the friendly service was reassuring. We were the only Japanese people in the car, so I was very grateful for the care we received. The night sky was also breathtaking, with the Milky Way visible—it was an emotional experience!
I participated in a similar tour with a different company about ten years ago, but I noticed some great differences this time: the sandwiches were delicious, they took a lot of photos, and the number of silversword plants at the Onizuka Center has significantly increased thanks to conservation efforts. I definitely think this is a must-do tour on the Big Island!
英語のツアーでしたが日本語でも所々説明してくれて助かりました。
マウナケアの夕日は本当に美しくて、たどり着くまでの車の中でも少しずつ標高が上がるたびにだんだん寒くなってくるので本当に高い山なんだなと実感します。
頂上まで車で来られるなんて信じられない！
写真はたくさん素敵なポーズを提案してくれてフレンドリーな対応にホッとしました。車の中で日本人は私たちのみでしたがケアいただいて大変ありがたかったです。
夜の星空も天の川が見えて感動的でした！
昔10年前も別の会社の類似ツアーに参加しましたが、サンドイッチが美味しいこと、たくさん写真をとってくれること、オニヅカセンターの銀剣草の数が保護の甲斐あってとても増えていることなど良い違いを感じました。
ぜひハワイ島にはマストなツアーだと思います
If you have down jackets and pants to lend, the cold won't be a problem at all. The women's restroom at the Onizuka Center gets quite crowded, so it might be better to go early.
貸してくれるダウンとズボンがあれば寒さは全く問題ありません。
オニヅカセンターの女子トイレはかなり混むので早めに行ったほうがいいかも。

The sunset and starry sky from the summit were breathtaking and truly moving. I was able to understand the explanations about the stars well since they were provided in Japanese.
I was a bit worried about the altitude and altitude sickness, but I was comfortably taken care of with a car ride and was lent warm clothing, so I was able to enjoy my time there. Thank you very much!
山頂からの夕陽と、星空は絶景で感動しました。日本語でも対応してもらえたので星の説明などもよく理解できました。
標高が高く高山病など不安でしたが、車で送迎していただき、防寒具なども貸してもらえたので快適に過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました！

The guidance from the polite tour guide was excellent! We were also able to take commemorative photos with the starry sky, and we received warm cocoa as well!
丁寧なガイドさんの案内がとても良かったです！
星空との記念撮影もしてもらえましたし、温かいココアも貰えました！
Since it's a long trip, it's better to bring some snacks! It's also good to have something like a knit cap to cover your face!
長旅なので軽食持参の方が良いです！
ニット帽等の顔周りを覆える方がいいです！

Crew was so nice & helpful. Very disappointed that we didn’t even get one bite. They said they usually have live bait to try also but didn’t bring any that day. I know that no one can control the fish but I wish they would have had an alternative to try. It was a beautiful ride on the boat & very comfortable shaded area. I would try them again.
The sunset viewed from the sacred summit of Mauna Kea was the best, and the starry sky was truly beautiful and moving. The summit was much colder than I expected, so I recommend going dressed warmly. The hot cocoa enjoyed at the top of the mountain was also fantastic! I took some great photos, which became wonderful memories. Thank you to our guide, Shoya.
神聖なマウナケアの山頂から見る最高の夕焼け、そして満点の星空、どちらも本当に美しく感動しました。山頂は思ったより数倍寒く、暖かい格好で行くのをお勧めします。山の上で飲むホットココアも最高でした！ 写真も撮っていただきとても素敵な思い出になりました。ガイドのShoyaさん、ありがとうございました。

The sunset and starry sky were breathtaking, and I was truly moved. I was a bit worried about the cold and altitude sickness, but I had such a wonderful time that it didn't bother me at all. I wanted to capture the stunning scenery in photos, so I brought a camera and tripod, even though I'm a complete beginner. With the support of the guide, I was able to take many beautiful pictures.
サンセットも星空も絶景で感動しました。寒さや高山病を少し心配していましたが、気にならないくらい素敵な時間を過ごせました。
絶景を写真におさめたいと思い、超初心者ながらカメラと三脚を持参しましたが、ガイドさんのサポートもあり素敵な写真を沢山撮れました。
