I had a very meaningful time with a full two-hour horseback riding experience. Even if you don't understand English, they teach you patiently, and the horses are very smart, so I think it will be a fun experience even for beginners. It became my best memory on the Big Island. I would love to experience it again next time.
2時間たっぷり乗馬体験ができとても有意義な時間でした。英語がわからなくても丁寧に教えてもらえますし、とにかくお馬さんがとっても賢いので、初めてでも楽しい体験になると思います。

On the day, I was a bit worried about whether I would be able to see the sunset and the starry sky because it was cloudy, but they were both beautiful. The sea of clouds was also magical. The sandwich was delicious. It was colder than I expected, so I was happy to have cocoa. The guide spoke earnestly in Japanese. Thank you very much.

Since deciding to travel to the Big Island, I had wanted to visit Mauna Kea, and I was considering going on my own as an option.
However, it was definitely the right choice to go with a tour.
There was a guide who was well-versed in photo spots and how to take pictures, and they taught us a lot about the mountains of the Big Island along the way.
The primary language was English, but they also spoke Japanese, which made it easy to understand.
The sunset and starry sky were breathtaking views that you can't experience in Japan.
I am truly grateful.

This was a tour I had wanted to join ever since my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii was decided. I was worried about the weather, but after arriving at the Onizuka Visitor Center, we were above the clouds and it turned into a beautiful day. Thanks to our guide's kind and attentive support, I was able to enjoy a wonderful time throughout the tour. The sunset from an altitude of 4,000 meters was breathtakingly beautiful, and I was deeply moved. The colors of the sky changed, creating a mystical atmosphere that left me in awe. Sho-taro, our guide, provided a very clear explanation of the stars, and I learned a lot about them. His personality was also wonderful, and I felt like I wanted to visit the Big Island again just to see him. I'm grateful for this amazing experience!

The starry sky of Mauna Kea, which I had always wanted to see ⭐︎ I had no guarantee that the weather would be good enough to see it… and the price was quite high 💦 I was really hesitant, but in the end, it was absolutely the right decision! To be able to witness such a divine sunset and starry sky in person was a wonderful experience. Our guide, James, was very considerate, and even though communication was a bit difficult, I felt warmth in our connection. During the stargazing, the guides from other groups also joined in to explain, making it a truly lovely time. I was able to see a breathtaking starry sky for the first time, leaving me speechless. The only downside was that the seats were fully booked and very cramped, making the journey to and from the summit quite tough as I was half hanging out of my seat…
いつか観てみたかったマウナケアの星空⭐︎
絶対観られるというお天気の保証も無いし…お値段もなかなかなもの💦かなり迷いましたが、結果大正解!こんなに神々しいサンセットと星空を直に観られるなんて、素晴らしい体験をさせていただきました。ガイドのジェームスさんは、とても気を遣ってくださり、言葉が通じにくくても、心は伝わるものだと温かい気持ちになりました。星の観測では、他のグループのガイドさんが一緒に説明してくださり、本当に素敵な時間となりました。感動のため息しか出ないような星空を、初めて観ることができました。ひとつだけ残念だったのは、座席が満席でとても狭く、半分はみ出た状態で山頂までの行き帰りはかなりしんどかった…ということです。
I think whether you can see the stars depends on luck at that moment, but it's definitely worth trying again and again because the night sky is that beautiful!

We had planned to rent a 4WD vehicle and drive to the summit ourselves, but feeling anxious about driving, we decided to join a tour instead. The road to the summit was quite steep, and it wasn't cheap, but I felt it was worth it. The sunset at the summit was very beautiful, and although we viewed the starry sky from the visitor center, we were able to see a truly stunning landscape. We enjoyed ourselves safely until the end. Thank you very much.

The two star review is because we did get to see Manta Rays, and they were amazing. But the company itself only deserves one star. They were a disorganized mess from start to finish and it seemed like they had never led a tour before. We showed up to the storefront on time, but they spent so much time with a family with lots of kids (making changes, asking questions, listening to their complaints, etc.) that by the time they checked us in we were rushing to make it to the boat on time. We had to park far away and were running to get to the dock. We didn't realize we didn't need to rush because the people at the dock had no idea what was going on. They couldn't organize people into groups, they counted over and over, hoping people were coming out of the bathroom, and we had to tell them that a group of three had canceled at the storefront at the last minute and wouldn't be showing up. The leader of our group seemed like she had never lead a tour before. They got us out to the viewing area with no issues, but once we arrived there was much yelling among the guides about how to turn on the light boards, how to hook them together, how to swim and pull them together, etc. The tour as advertised said everyone needed to know how to swim, but they let quite a few little children come on the tour. All of the kids were freaked out in the dark water and there was a lot of crying and screaming. Then fire worms (stinging sea centipedes that usually live at the bottom but come out to reproduce around the full moon) appeared. That was obviously not the fault of the tour guides, but we kept asking what the creatures were and our guide said she had no idea, but no need to worry (even though she's a marine biologist). Eventually mass panic ensued as people were being stung by the fire worms, so they loaded us on the boats early and took us back. My husband swam and pulled all the light boards back to the boat because the tour guides were so confused/disorganized.
Children under the age of 13 should not go on this tour!

Overall, it was really great!! I felt relieved that we had a Japanese guide, "Shoyo," who spoke Japanese. It was a bit disappointing that, out of 12 people, 10 were Japanese, yet the in-car guide was all in English, but he explained the important points clearly in Japanese. At the sunset point observatory, we enjoyed delicious sandwiches and borrowed warm clothing, and we were able to take many photos with a special camera against the backdrop of the sunset. After that, we moved to the stargazing point and observed an orange shining star through a telescope (I forgot the name, but it was the star in the middle of Scorpio). After receiving warm cocoa from "James," who speaks a bit of cute Japanese, he used a laser pointer to explain the night sky in Japanese. The explanations were very clear and detailed, and it was fun! We could see the Milky Way clearly, spotted an artificial satellite, and even saw shooting stars in the perfect starry sky—it was the best time!
総じてすごく良かったです!!
日本人の”しょうよう”さんの運転ガイドでまず日本語が通じる事に安心。12人中10人が日本人だったのに車内のガイドが全て英語だったのが残念でしたが注意点等はきちんと日本語で説明してくれました。サンセットポイントの天体観測所では美味しいサンドイッチ🥪をいただき防寒着も借りて夕陽をバックに専用カメラで何枚も写真を撮ってもらえました。その後星空観察ポイントに移動し望遠鏡🔭でオレンジに光る星を観測(名前忘れましたが蠍座の真ん中の星)。可愛らしい日本語を少し話す”ジェームス”さんから温かいココアをいただいた後レーザーポインターを使って日本語で星空の説明。すごくわかりやすく詳しい説明で楽しかったです!天の川もくっきりと見れて人工衛星🛰️も見て満点の星空の中に流れ星も見れて最高の時間でした!

10年前に同じツアーに参加しましたが、何も考えずに星空が見たいと申し込み、天気は最高でサンセットも綺麗な写真が撮れた。ところが、肝心の星空は、、、満月の月があんなに明るいなんて初めて知りました。月明かりで影ができるほど。今回は月の満ち欠けも調べて10年ぶりのリベンジ。奇跡的に雲もなくなり、満点の夜空を満喫。天の川に流れ星とフルコースで星空を楽しめました。ツアーで用意してくれたBLTサンドと寒い中でのココアは美味しかった。ガイドのショウヨウさん、ありがとうございました。
Let's check the phases of the moon before participating. As for the weather, we can only leave it to luck.
月の満ち欠けは調べてから参加しましょう。天候は運に任せるしかありませんが、、

They guided us to several observatories, and the sunset viewed from the summit was very beautiful. We did some stargazing a little below the summit. Unfortunately, it was a full moon, but we were still able to see many stars. They explained the stars and showed us the moon through a small telescope, making it a very good experience.
いくつかの天文台を案内してくれて、また山頂から見たサンセットがとても綺麗でした。
山頂少し降りたところで天体観測をしました。
あいにくの満月でしたが、それでも沢山の星を観ることができました。
星の説明や小さい望遠鏡で月などを見せてくれてとても良い体験となりました。
The path from the visitor center to the summit can be bumpy, so if you're worried, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
ビジターセンターから頂上までは揺れるので心配な方は酔い止めをお勧めします。

It was colder than I expected, so having gloves would be good.
The air is thin, so I feel a bit lightheaded.
I realized that it's important to take care of my health.
