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

I am simply moved... ただただ感動・・・

Reviewed by: pyonkichi

The day before, I received a message in my hotel room from the tour coordinator asking, "Have you confirmed the email about the change in the meeting place for the tour?" I hadn't seen the email, so this message was very helpful.

Since it was a sunset and stargazing tour, we departed in the afternoon. On the way to the summit, we took a break for about an hour at the Onizuka Visitor Center to prevent altitude sickness, where we were served lunch. We had a Japanese makunouchi bento! It came with miso soup!! (The contents may vary by day...) There was quite a bit of food, so if you're a light eater, you might want to have a light lunch beforehand. During this break, you can change your clothes, so I don't think you need to dress too warmly from the start. By the way, as someone who gets cold easily, I participated in a polo shirt and skinny pants, and added a Heattech shirt, tights, winter socks, and a lightweight jumper here. I wore the ski wear I borrowed over that as we headed to the summit. I prepared disposable hand warmers, but I didn't end up using them.

As my husband and I got closer to the summit, we started to feel a bit of a headache. We focused on exhaling all the air from our lungs and taking deep breaths to fill them with fresh air... repeating this several times. (The guide would remind us of the deep breathing techniques along the way!) Thanks to this, our headaches didn't get too severe.

When we finally reached the summit, my first thought was, "My body feels heavy!" I couldn't really enjoy myself (≧▽≦). But encouraged by the guide, I jumped while straddling a broom!!! They took some photos that made it look like I was flying in the sky♪ I asked for one more photo of me looking like I was about to fall off the broom, but it was tough to jump with my heavy body...

And then it was time for the sunset... The sun sinking into the sea of clouds was something I could have watched forever.

We viewed the starry sky a bit lower down (around 3,800 meters). (We had to descend from the summit 30 minutes after sunset.) The guide used a laser pointer to explain the names of the stars and the origins of the constellations while we observed. They set up a telescope and showed us the rings of Saturn! (It was quite moving!!) As it got darker, the stars began to overflow. I thought, "Maybe clouds are coming in..." but it turned out to be all stars!!! I ended up lying down to look at them since my neck started to hurt from looking up too much (≧▽≦).

The guide took quite a few photos of both the sunset and the starry sky! There were many pictures that would have been impossible for our camera to capture, making for wonderful memories.

At the restroom break on the way back, we saw other tour participants (probably from a stargazing tour on the mountainside) receiving explanations, but the view of the stars was completely different! Even the mountainside tour looked beautiful compared to Japan, but seeing it from the summit...

This time, we were blessed with good weather, and it turned out to be a truly enjoyable and wonderful tour. I want to go see that starry sky again!

前日にツアーの担当者から「ツアーの集合場所変更のメール、確認していただけましたか？」とホテルの部屋に連絡がありました。
メールを見ていなかったのでこの連絡はとても助かりました。

サンセット＆星空観測のツアーだったので、午後出発です。
山頂に行く途中、高山病予防も兼ねてオニヅカビジターセンターで1時間ほど休憩が入り、そこでお弁当が出ます。
私たちがいただいたのは日本の幕の内弁当！お味噌汁付き！！（日によって内容は変わるようですが・・・）
結構な量があるので、小食の方はお昼控えめにした方がいいかと^^;
この休憩中に着替えができるので、最初から厚着をしていく必要はないと思います。
因みに、寒がりの私はポロシャツとスキニーパンツで参加し、ここでヒートテックシャツ、タイツ、冬用靴下、薄手のジャンパーを追加着用しました。
借りたスキーウェアの上下をその上に着用して山頂に向かいます。
使い捨てカイロは用意しましたが、使いませんでした。

私たち夫婦は山頂に近づくにつれ、少しずつ頭が痛くなってきました。
肺の空気を出し切って、新しい空気を肺いっぱいに吸い込む・・・を意識しながら深呼吸を何度も繰り返します。（深呼吸方法など、ガイドさんが随時声をかけてくださいます！）
このおかげか頭痛もそれほどひどくはなりませんでした。

山頂に降り立ってまず思ったのが「身体が重い！」でした。
はしゃげません(≧▽≦)
でもガイドさんに促されるままほうきにまたがってジャンプ！！！
空を飛んでいるような写真を撮ってくださいました♪
お願いしてもう一枚、ほうきから落ちそうバージョンも撮ってもらったのですが、さすがに身体が重くてジャンプが辛い・・・

そんなこんなでサンセットの時間・・・雲海に沈んでいく太陽はいつまでも見ていたいと思うくらい。

星空は少し下がったところ（3800ｍ付近）でみました。（サンセット後30分で山頂から下りないといけないそうです）
ガイドさんがレーザーポイントで星の名前や星座の由来、いろいろ説明しながらの観察です。
望遠鏡を設置して、土星の輪も見せていただきました！（ちょっと感動！！）
辺りが暗くなるにつれ、星がどんどんあふれてきます。
「雲がでてきたのかなぁ・・・」と思っていたら全部星だった！！！なんていう感じです。
（上を見上げすぎて首が痛くなってきたので、最後は寝そべってみていました(≧▽≦)）

写真はサンセット、星空ともガイドさんが結構撮ってくれていました！
私たちのカメラでは絶対に無理であろう写真がいっぱいで、とってもいい記念になりました。

帰りのトイレ休憩の場所では他のツアーの方（おそらく山腹での星空観測ツアー）が説明を受けていらっしゃいましたが、星の見え方は全然違います！
日本に比べると山腹ツアーでも十分綺麗に輝いて見えるのですが、山頂付近で見てしまうと。。。。。

今回は天気にも恵まれ、ほんとに楽しい素敵なツアーになりました。
またあの星空を見に行きたいと思います！

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

I wanted to go cave exploring too... (T_T) 洞窟探検もしたかった・・・(T_T)

Reviewed by: pyonkichi

It was the first time for my husband and me to go to the sea in a long while and to try sea kayaking. Since both of us are over 50, we were a bit worried about our physical stamina and felt a little nervous about participating, but we had a great time thanks to the careful instruction on how to operate the kayak.

The guide spoke very clear and fluent Japanese, having experience living in Japan, so we had no worries about the language barrier.

We placed our valuables in waterproof bags attached to the kayak, but other belongings were left on the shore (we left ours in Kevin's car), so I think it's best to keep your luggage to a minimum!

As for the tour, we progressed while watching the waves crashing against the cliffs. We were able to see wild goats as well.

The cave exploration, which I was most looking forward to, allowed us to see the waves crashing at the cave entrance, but due to high waves, we couldn't go inside this time. It was quite disappointing, but we can't go against nature... Still, it's a shame! We enjoyed snorkeling in a beautiful coral area, surrounded by colorful fish, floating and diving as we pleased. I might have overdone it here, as I felt a bit tired on the way back.

Also, being someone who gets cold easily, I couldn't stop shivering after getting out of the sea. I think I lost body heat since I paddled back while still wet, so I recommend that those who are sensitive to cold have something warm to put on right after getting out of the water.

We participated from Kailua-Kona, but since we didn't rent a car, we took a taxi to the meeting point. It took about 15 to 20 minutes and cost around $30 including tip (though I'm a bit unsure about the exact amount...). On the way back, we took the trolley bus from the nearby Sheraton Hotel. The ride took about 35 to 40 minutes and cost $2 per person. The bus runs every two hours, so I think it's a good idea to check the schedule in advance.

夫婦そろって久しぶりの海に初めてのシーカヤック。
二人とも50歳を超えているので体力的なことも心配で、ちょっとドキドキしての参加でしたが、操作の方法など丁寧に指導していただき、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ガイドさんは日本にお住まいの経験もあるということで、とても聞き取りやすい、上手な日本語を話され、言葉の不安はありませんでした。

貴重品は防水バッグに入れてカヤックに取り付けますが、その他の荷物は岸に置いていくので（私たちはケビンさんの車に置かせていただきました）、荷物は極力少なく！！！がいいと思います。


ツアー内容ですが、シーカヤックは波が岸壁に打ち付けられる様子を見ながらどんどん進んでいきます。
野生のヤギも見ることができました。

今回、一番楽しみにしていた洞窟探検、洞窟の入り口に波が打ち付けるところを見ることができたのですが、今回は波が高く中に入ることはできませんでした。かなり残念でしたが、自然には逆らえません・・・。けど残念！！！！
サンゴのきれいなところでシュノーケリングは楽しむことができました。
色鮮やかな魚もたくさんで、自分たちの好きなように浮かんだり潜ったり。
ここではしゃぎすぎたか、帰りは少し疲れました。


あと、寒がりの私は海から上がった後震えが止まりませんでした。
濡れたままカヤックを漕いで帰ってきたので体温が奪われたのだと思いますが、寒がりの方は岸に上がった後、すぐに羽織れるものがあったらいいかなと思います。

私たちはカイルア・コナからの参加だったのですが、レンタカーは借りていなかったので、集合場所へはタクシーで向かいました。
時間は15分～20分、チップも含めて＄30くらいだったと思います。（ちょっと金額はあやふやです・・・）
帰りはすぐそばのシェラトンホテルからトロリーバスで帰りました。乗車時間35分～40分、一人＄2です。バスは2時間に1本とかなので、事前に調べていかれるといいと思います。

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

The Milky Way was beautiful. 天の川がきれいでした。

Reviewed by: 中国内陸部赴任者

The stargazing on Maui was great, so I signed up for this tour. They provide down jackets and gloves, but it's essential to have fleece and tights since it gets cold at the summit. The departure is leisurely in the afternoon, allowing for golf or shopping in the morning, making good use of your time. We eat lunch along the way, but since the location is shared with other tours, the restroom can get crowded. The contents of the lunch vary by tour, but this one included warm miso soup and hot cocoa. The sunset and stargazing were wonderful, different from what I saw on Maui. The Milky Way was clearly visible to the naked eye and felt very close. I learned a lot about the constellations. However, you have to stand and look for quite a while, so it might be a bit tiring for older adults. The stargazing tour on Maui was cheaper, but they provided simple chairs and blankets.

マウイ島での星空観測が良かったので、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
ダウンや手袋は貸していただけますが山頂は寒いのでフリースやタイツは必須です。出発は午後ゆっくりなので午前中ゴルフや買い物ができて時間が有効に使えます。途中お弁当を食べますが他のツアーとも場所が一緒なのでトイレは混雑します。お弁当の内容もツアーによりそれぞれですがこちらは暖かい味噌汁やホットココアが付いてました♪　サンセット、星空観測はマウイ島から見たのとはまた違って素晴らしかったです。天の川が肉眼でもはっきりとしかも近くに感じました。星座の話も勉強になりました。ただ立ったままかなりの時間眺めなくてはいけないので中高年以上の方はちょっと疲れます。
マウイ島の星空観測ツアーの方が安かったですが、簡易イスや毛布も用意されてました。

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

Stargazing Like No Other!

Reviewed by: Mara

Highly recommend this excursion. Great way to see the entire island from lava rock to waterfalls to Japanese gardens to a lave tube cave, it was all amazing. But the best part is the stargazing on Mauna Kea. Its like nothing you have experienced before. To see the sky in this way was simply inspirational. James from Epic Tours gave us a amazing tour and having pictures taken all along the way was the icing on the cake. Definitely a must do on the Big Island.

Reviewed by: Pikka

The tour guide was very friendly and nice, and I had a great time. If I have the opportunity to request again from Masashi Nature School, I would love to meet him again! I was able to learn a lot about the photo spots and the natural flora. The sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea was incredibly beautiful, and during the stargazing, I got to see Saturn through the telescope that the guide brought, clearly seeing the rings for the first time, which was moving. I also enjoyed seeing the Milky Way beautifully and had a great time with the explanations of the constellations, which allowed me to wrap up my last day in a wonderful atmosphere.

ツアーガイドさんがとても気さくでいい方でとても楽しむことができました。
もしまたまさしネイチャースクルールでお願いすることがあればまたお会いしたいです！
写真のスポットや、自然の草花のことも詳しく聞けて、いろいろ勉強になりました。
マウナケア山頂での夕日はとても美しく、星空観測の時もガイドさんが持ってきてくれた望遠鏡で土星を見せてもらい、土星の輪までくっきり見たのは初めてで、感動的でした。また天野川も綺麗に見れて、星座の説明など楽しくしていただき、とてもいい雰囲気で滞在最終日を締めくくることができました

I was a bit scared when they said there were no life jackets, but surprisingly, I floated just fine. I was so moved to see a pod of dolphins, and then… a big shark was slowly swimming along the bottom, and I was told to get back on the boat quickly. Wait, seriously? That silhouette was definitely a shark. It was huge. I heard that sharks eat dolphins.

So, I might have spent less time in the water, but I made it back safely, so it’s a good memory.

ライフジャケットなしって言われて、ちょっとびびったけど、意外と浮くので、なんとか。

Reviewed by: Martin & Bonnie

Night snorkeling with Manta Rays was definitely one of the highlights on our trip to The Big Island!
You get the opportunity to see these huge, gracious creatures up close under the water but no fear, they are not dangerous at all. The SeaQuest crew did an excellent job, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable on the boat, in the water and with the snorkeling gear.
The crew were very knowledgeable and caring about the Manta rays safety too. After the tour, everyone was served hot chocolate and cookies. Tip: bring warm clothes.

The scenery is amazing!!! 景色は最高！！！

Reviewed by: AI2018

It was disappointing that the participants in another car were noisy. They were getting excited and loud during sunset, but I wanted to quietly appreciate the beauty of nature and feel the sunset, so it was just bothersome to me. Their excited voices ended up in the video, and I had to edit them out.

I think a single word from the guide could change the participants' consideration. That's why I lowered my rating by one star.

Our guide, Shin, was excellent in explaining safety, the significance of the area as a sacred place for the indigenous people, and the stars. We were fortunate with the weather, and the scenery was amazing. I believe it's a sacred place worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. Thank you!

同行した別の車の参加者が騒々しかったのが興醒めでした。日没の際大きな声で盛り上がっていましたが、大自然に畏敬の念を抱き、静かに日没を感じたかった私には煩いとしか感じませんでした。
ビデオにも彼女らのはしゃいだ声が入ってしまい、編集して消しました。
ガイドさんの一言で参加者の配慮も変わってくると思います。ですので評価をひとつ落としました。

こちらのガイド、シンさんは安全面の説明も、ここが原住の人々にとっては聖地だということも、星空の説明も、お見事でした！
天候にも恵まれ、景色は最高でした。一生に一度は行く価値のある神聖な場所だと思いました。
ありがとうございました！

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

A surprisingly affordable tour when considering the emotional value! Part 1 感動単価で考える結構安いツアー！ その1

Reviewed by: Mako

An emotional experience awaits that matches the price.

This time, I decided to stay a bit longer on the Big Island of Hawaii. My goal is to relax as much as possible, but just staying cooped up in a condominium would be boring. I searched for a special tour and finally decided on a helicopter tour! The thought of seeing the Big Island from the sky made my heart race, but there were several challenges to consider.
1. The price is on the higher side
2. Is flying in a helicopter dangerous?
3. Wouldn't a car be sufficient instead of a helicopter?
4. The tour is dependent on the weather
5. Can I ride with a Japanese-speaking pilot (since I can't speak English)?
6. Which tour pattern should I choose?
7. Is the Kilauea eruption safe? And so on. I managed to overcome these challenges and had a wonderful time.

Regarding point 1: The charm of the Big Island lies in its diverse nature. To truly feel that the Earth is alive and continuously evolving, there's no substitute for a helicopter! With a leap of faith, I made the reservation (tears). When I actually flew, it exceeded my expectations. Yes, it is indeed more expensive compared to other tours. However, when considering the "emotional value" rather than the hourly rate, it feels affordable! That's my experience. You can't make expensive purchases on the Big Island, nor do you need to. Therefore, I recommend incorporating this into your travel budget from the start. Of course, this goes without saying for those who are wealthy. Please do experience it.

Regarding point 2: There is no such thing as zero risk in anything, but I believe the probability of a helicopter accident is significantly lower compared to the risks of driving a rental car in unfamiliar territory. In reality, the helicopter was stylish, had a wide view, and provided a smooth, refreshing flight. The noise disappears when you wear headphones, and everyone, including the pilot, can converse. This also made for a fun time, and I ended up making friends with the couple I flew with. The decision to operate the flight is made based on the weather conditions of the flight route for that day, and in fact, flights after ours were canceled. Naturally, dangerous flights are never conducted.

To be continued.

価格に見合った感動が待っている (分けて報告します)

今回はハワイ島だけに少し長めに滞在することにしました。できるだけノンビリ過ごすのが目的ですが、と言ってもただコンドミニアムに閉じこもっているのも芸がない。何かとっておきのツアーはないか、と探しに探して決めたのがヘリコプター遊覧！これで空からビッグアイランドを一望できる、と心は踊りますが、いくつかの難問がありました。
①料金が高め ②ヘリコプターは危険ではないか ③何もヘリでなくとも車で十分ではないか ④実施が天候に左右される ⑤日本語パイロットのヘリに乗れるか(英語がダメなので) ⑥ツアーのパターンはどれを選べば良いのか ⑦そもそもキラウエアの噴火は大丈夫か 、などなど。これらを何とかクリアして素晴らしい時間を手にした報告です。

①について:ハワイ島の魅力はなんと言っても多彩な自然です。地球は生きていて今も進化し続けていることを実感するにはヘリコプターしかない！と、清水の舞台から飛び降りる気持ちで予約しました(涙) 実際に飛んでみるとそれはもう期待以上でした。他のツアーと比較すると確かに高いです。しかし時間単価ではなくて、「感動単価」で考えると安い！というのが体験しての実感です。ハワイ島では高価な買い物などできませんし、する必要もありません。ですから、最初から旅行費用に組み入れて準備することをお勧めします。もちろんお金持ちの方には言わずもがなです。ぜひ体験して下さい。
②について:何事も危険ゼロは無いですが、ヘリ事故の確率は、レンタカーで慣れない運転にチャレンジするのに比べたら比較にならないくらい低いと思います。実際、機体もかっこよくて、視界も広く、揺れもなく、とても爽快なフライトを楽しめました。騒音はヘッドホンを着けると消えますし、パイロットを含め乗員全員で会話ができます。これも楽しい時間となり、同乗したご夫妻とお友達になってしまいました。運行の可否は、フライト時刻毎にその日の飛行ルートの気象状況を見て決められ、実際に、私たちの次の時間以降のフライトは中止になりました。当たり前ですが危険なフライトは決してしません。

Sunset from a mountain higher than Mount Fuji. Stargazing at the Subaru Telescope. It can't be bad. 富士山より高い山からSUNSET。スバル天文台に星空観察。悪いはずがない。

Reviewed by: 天ん邪鬼

Two days ago, there was a road closure above the Onizuka Visitor Center due to snow at the summit of Mauna Kea, which made me a bit anxious, but the tour went ahead without any issues. The driver was surprisingly quiet. I wondered if he was in a bad mood, but after about an hour of driving, we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center. We had a bento lunch with warm miso soup. There were also warm coffee, tea, and even cocoa prepared for us. This was the time for altitude acclimatization. We bought souvenirs and took photos. From there, we drove on a rough road close to the summit. I didn't feel sick at all. The driver kept teaching us how to breathe properly. He even stopped the car at a spot with remaining snow for a photo opportunity. He took our pictures with the Subaru Telescope in the background during sunset. After that, we descended to around 3000 meters. There were two teams from the same tour company for stargazing, intentionally on a full moon night. It was too bright, so there were fewer stars, but we were able to observe Saturn and the moon. Our driver seemed like a technician and took photos of us with the starry sky as the backdrop. Those photos can be downloaded for free after returning to Japan. Just remember, it’s really cold, so dress warmly. They provide warm shoes, socks, and outerwear, which is great. I wore Heattech. As for the restroom, there is a simple toilet at the summit, but it seems to be quite a challenge to use it while wearing winter clothing. It didn't seem dirty, though. It takes about four hours from leaving the visitor center to the next restroom break. The simple toilet is about two hours in, roughly halfway. Just for your reference.

前々日、マウナケア山頂積雪の為、オニヅカビジターセンターより上の通行止めの情報があり、ドキドキしていましたが、無事に催行。ドライバーさん　以外に無口。機嫌悪いのかな？と一時間余りドライブしてオニヅカビジターセンターに到着。そしてお弁当。暖かいお味噌汁付き。暖かいコヒー、紅茶にココアまで用意されていました。この場所で高度順応の時間。お土産を購入したり、写真を撮ったり。そこから頂上付近まで悪路ドライブ。気分が悪くなるなんて無かったです。ドライバーさんが、ずっと呼吸の仕方を伝授してくれます。残雪が残っている所でわざわざ車を停めて撮影タイム。ドライバーさんもシャッターを押してくださいました。スバル天文台をバックにサンセット。そこから3000メーター辺りまで下って。同じツアー会社2チームでの星空観察。敢えて、満月の夜。明るすぎて　星は少なかったけど、土星や月の観測ができました。うちのドライバーさんは技術屋さんみたいで、星空をバックに写真も撮ってくれました。それらの写真は日本に帰ってから無料でダウンロードできますよ。ただ、ともかく寒いから暖かくしてくださいね。特に靴、靴下　防寒着の上下は貸してくれて暖かいですが。私はヒートテックで行きました。それと、トイレですが頂上に簡易トイレは有りますが、防寒着を着たままようを足すのも一苦労みたいです。汚くは無かったみたいです。ビジターセンターを出発してから次のトイレ休憩まで4時間くらいかかります。簡易トイレは丁度、2時間、中間くらいです。参考までに。

Reviewed by: Emo

Advance reservations are essential due to the popularity of the tour. The weather on the day is truly left to chance. On the day of participation, which was three days after the full moon, we were able to see an incredibly beautiful starry sky since the stargazing time was before the moon rose! They also provide explanations of constellations with a laser pointer (the impressive kind). It's like a real planetarium. You can also take photos (available for free download later), so there's more to enjoy after the tour. The sunset is also perfect! The sunset over the sea of clouds is a must-see. The summit of Mauna Kea is quite cold. They can lend you warm clothing, but I recommend bringing something like a sweatshirt that you can easily put on.

Our guide, Masa, was kind and very attentive! Generally, the guides are Japanese (though there may be some from other countries). It feels a bit awkward to give a tip, but since we are in Hawaii, I recommend giving a little something during the hotel transfer. Just for your reference.

人気ツアーの為、事前予約必須。当日の天候は、本当に運任せ。汗。参加日は、満月の3日後でしたが、星空観測の時間が月の登る前であった為、めちゃくちゃキレイな星空が観れました！レーザーポインター(すごいやつ)で星座の説明もしてくれます。リアルプラネタリウムです。写真撮影(後日、無料ダウンロード可)もしていただけるので、ツアー後にも楽しみがあります。サンセットもバッチリ！雲海に沈む夕陽は、必見です。マウナケア山頂は、ふつーに寒いです。防寒着を貸していただけますが、サクッと着れるスウェット等の持参をオススメします。
ガイドのマサさんは、親切丁寧で非常に良かったです！基本的には、ガイドさんは日本人(外国籍の方もいる)の方になるかと思います。チップをお渡しするのに違和感がありますが、ハワイであることは間違いないので、ホテルへの送迎時に気持ちをお渡しすることをオススメします。ご参考までに。

The sunset and starry sky were, of course, wonderful, but the explanations from our guide Masa were easy to understand and very knowledgeable! It was informative to hear about the history and stars.

They provide winter clothing, lunch boxes, and drinks, so you can participate easily, which I highly recommend!

The best part is that you can download the photos taken by the guide with a DSLR for free! The pictures with the starry sky background are perfect.

The price might be high, but the experience was worth it.

夕日、星空がすばらしいのはもちろんですが、ガイドのマサさんの説明がわかりやすく、また博識でした！歴史や星の説明を聞けるので、ためになりました。
防寒具、お弁当、飲み物の用意があるので、気軽に参加できますので、おすすめです！
一番のおすすめポイントは、ガイドさんが撮ってくれた一眼レフの写真の無料ダウンロードが可能なところです！星空バックの写真もばっちりです。
料金は高いかもしれませんが、それ以上の体験ができました。

James was very knowledgeable and we did learn a lot about the big island. Walking in the lava cave was fun, don’t think you can do that elsewhere. The stargazing pictures he took was phenomenal! He even showed us how to take professional-looking pictures by just using iPhone! Definitely recommend this tour! You are gonna love it!

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Excellent Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Mark

Our family attended the dinner cruise on Thanksgiving and we were not disappointed. The food and scenery were both excellent, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer questions. The music was also very good, and there was even some dancing during the return trip. Would highly recommend this trip during your stay on the Big Island.

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

Enjoy the dynamic nature that cannot be seen from the land. 陸からでは見られないダイナミックな自然を満喫

Reviewed by: TM0399

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the lava and ocean entry from the sky, but unfortunately, I couldn't see them. Still, I was able to witness the crater and the areas where lava spread after the eruption, feeling the power of nature.

The tour takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to leisurely circle the island, allowing you to fully enjoy the shape of the island, its terrain, the greenery, and the blue sea. Among the highlights, the Kohala Coast, Waipi'o Valley, and Waimauna Valley were breathtaking and truly moving. I regretted not adding the landing option at the waterfall, as it would have been amazing to land in that valley. Next time I participate, I want to try landing as well.

Here are some tips for those who will be joining the tour soon:
1. There is only one Japanese pilot, so it's better to assume that you will have a foreign pilot even if you request one. (I also made a request and inquired beforehand, but all three helicopters that flew at the same time that day had foreign pilots.)
2. Passengers can ask the pilot questions during the flight, but if you don't speak English, you might feel stressed as you won't be able to ask about things you're curious about or don't understand in the explanations. It’s a good idea to be able to express your requests in English.
3. There is a note advising to wear black clothing for better photos, but I recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants. Skin color on your arms and legs can reflect on the window, making it difficult to take nice pictures.
4. You can purchase a USB data of the video from your helicopter for about $42 (credit card accepted). It includes the music that was playing in the helicopter, which changes according to the scenery, making it very effective. I highly recommend it as it allows you to keep beautiful footage of what you saw.

溶岩やオーシャンエントリーを空から見たいと思いこのツアーを申し込みましたが、残念ながら見ることはできませんでした。それでも、噴火後の火口や溶岩が広がったエリアを目の当たりにし、自然の力を感じることができました。
また、島内を1時間40分ほどかけゆっくりと一周するので、島の形や地形、緑の色、海の青をじっくり満喫することができます。
中でも後半のコハラ海岸やワイピオ渓谷、ワイマヌ渓谷は圧巻で、感動ものでした。あの渓谷の谷に降り立てるのであれば、滝への着陸オプションをつけるべきだったと後悔しました。次回参加する際は、着陸も試みたいと思います。
これから参加される方のためにいくつか情報をお伝えしておきます。
1．日本人パイロットは1名しかいないため、リクエストしても外国人パイロットになることを想定しておいた方がよいです。（私もリクエストし、事前に問い合わせもしていましたが、当日同時に飛んだ3台全て外国人パイロットでした）
2．ヘリの中では乗客がパイロットに質問できますが、英語ができないと、気になったことや解説でわからないことなどを聞けないため、ストレスを感じるかもしれません。見たいもののリクエストなどは英語で言えるようにしておいた方が良いと思います。
3．綺麗に写真を撮るために黒い服を着ていくよう注意書きがありますが、長そで長ズボンにすることをお勧めします。腕や足の肌色が窓に映ってしまい綺麗に撮れません。
4．自身の乗ったヘリの中の様子や見た景色の動画USBデータを＄42程度で購入ができます（クレカ使用可）。ヘリ内でかかっていた音楽（見えている景色に合わせて音楽も変えられていて非常に効果的です）と共に自身が見た綺麗な映像が残せるので非常にお薦めです。

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＞ *48時間前までキャンセル無料

Those who get seasick might have a tough time. 船酔いする方は大変かも。

Reviewed by: みゅう

I participated because I wanted to see manta rays up close. The boat ride was fine, but while we were searching for the manta point, the boat was stopped and it was really rocky, causing more than half of the people to get seasick. I felt so nauseous that it was tough to get into the water.

I did see the manta rays, but the seasickness was so painful that it diminished the enjoyment...

マンタを近くで見てみたくて参加しました。
船で移動中は大丈夫でしたが、マンタポイントを探す間、船が止まっていたんですが、揺れが凄くて半数以上の人が船酔いしていました。
気持ち悪くなり過ぎて、海に入るまでが大変でした。

マンタは見れましたが、船酔いが辛すぎて楽しさが薄れました。。。

Keauhou Bay Manta Ray Night Dive Tour & Snorkel Adventure from Kona - Sea Quest

Great service and staff. Manta ray was spectacular but lots of waiting to see.

Reviewed by: Tim

Overall, great and once in a lifetime experience to see manta ray(s) up close. We also saw a reef shark and lots of schooling fish. Seaquest provides you with everything you need (wet suit, snorkel gear, etc.). You may leave your dry items on the boat (ie. valuables, phones). All you really need is a towel since it can get chilly after.

We saw one manta ray up close which was spectacular. The remainder of the snorkeling experience was a lot of waiting around and viewing other wildlife. Staff were kind and willing to help out with all our needs.

You must Snorkel with Manta Rays, and you must go with SeaQuest!

Reviewed by: Nick Weihs

This was an experience of a lifetime. The guys and girls and SeaQuest we're so helpful and made the night so much fun. They even called as we got a little turned around on the way there. Everything from getting aboard the boat to dropping off afterwards and everything in between was really easy. When in the water we had lots of Manta Ray sightings. They are enormous beautiful creatures! The crew was very knowledgeable and their passion shows! We would definitely do this night snorkel again on our next trip.

Great way to spend a day and learn about the Big Island. If you are lucky enough to have Keith Mowibski as your guide the tour gets better by 10X. He is knowledgeable about the history of the island like no ones business. Can’t say enough good things about this tour.

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 would be great if the weather is nice. 天気が良ければ最高

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since I joined the tour in November, I was able to participate even though it had snowed the day before and the mountain gate was closed until just before the tour started. I was thrilled that the tour guide was the famous Big Jin. We joined from Kona and stopped at a scenic overlook on the way to Waikoloa to take some photos. On Saddle Road, we also had a little time to enjoy a spot where we could take pictures with the lava, in addition to Mauna Kea and the starry sky. I was worried about altitude sickness, but thanks to the professional guide's instructions and advice, everyone was fine. The tour itself had two vehicles, but Jin's proactive actions and experience meant we always arrived earlier than the other vehicle, allowing us more time and better timing for bathroom breaks. Although there were many clouds on the day, and it was disappointing not to see the sunset or the starry sky from the highest point, the tour itself was incredibly rich and provided a great experience.

11月に入ってからの参加でしたので当日もツアー開始時間ぎりぎり前まで前日に雪が降り山のゲートが封鎖されていたそうですが、参加することが出来ました。しかもツアーガイドが有名なビッグジンさんで感激しました。私達はコナからの参加でワイコロアまで行く途中Scenic Overlookと言う景色のいいポイントに停まって写真を撮ってくれました。サドルロードでも溶岩と写真の撮れるポイントで少し時間をくれてマウナケアや星空以外も少し楽しめました。高山病が不安でしたがプロのガイドの指示やアドバイスで全員かからなかったです。ツアー自体が2台の車だったのですがジンさんの早め早めの行動と経験で　もう1台の車より常に早く着き時間が多く取れたりトイレに行くタイミングなど気配りがとても良かったです。当日は雲が多く期待したサンセットが見れなかったり、星空ツアーが1番高い所で見れなかったのは残念でしたがツアー自体はものすごく濃く良い経験ができました。

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

Great day, seen and learned lots

Reviewed by: Anne Veghel

We had a great time and seen so many sights! Our guide Brett had great knowledge and could answer all questions.
Because we had extra time we got to see the rainbow falls and got to go into a lava cave. Sadly the stargazing didn't happen due to clouds and rain.
Snacks, water and food were all plenty and good. Especially dinner at kilauea lodge was excellent, be it a bit rushed.
After the recent eruptions there was no lava activity, but we can only imagine how much more beautiful the sites would be with active lava flows.

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

It was fine even for a first-timer! 初めてでも大丈夫でした！

Reviewed by: さおり

I participated in the morning session.
If you have a rental car with navigation, you can easily find the reception area.
I attended in November, but it got hot while riding, so water is essential.
If you can't get supplies at a supermarket, I recommend buying water at the shop at the reception area, which also sells it.
(I also recommend using the restroom here.)
You can borrow a helmet, but you can also bring your own hat.

Before riding, the English guide explained the basic movements.
Since it was in English, there were parts I didn't understand, but they explained the important points using some Japanese words as well.
During the ride, there were guides at the front and back of the line to lead the horses, so the horses rarely strayed off the course.
(I almost went off course because I miscommunicated with my horse...)
There were times when the horse didn't respond to the "stop" signal, but the guide stopped us when it was dangerous, so it was fine.

It was fun to take pictures while riding in the great outdoors and to hear explanations about the plants from the guide.
It was quite amusing to see the horse walking through the water.
(I recommend wearing pants that you don't mind getting dirty.)

It was my first time riding a horse, but I was able to do it safely, making it a very good experience.

If you understand English, you would grasp the explanations about handling the horse better, which would reduce any anxiety about riding, and you would also understand the explanations about the plants during the ride more clearly, making it even more interesting.
For those who are anxious, the Japanese plan might be a better option.

午前の部に参加しました。
受付場所は、ナビつきのレンタカーなら難なく辿り着けます。
11月の参加でしたが、馬に乗っている間に暑くなったので、水は必須です。
スーパーなどで調達できなければ、受付場所の売店にも販売があったので買うことをお勧めします。
(ここでトイレを済ませておくこともお勧めします。)
ヘルメットは借りれますが、自前で帽子を持っていくこともできます。

乗馬前に、英語ガイドさんから基本的な動作について説明がありました。
英語なので分からないところもありますが、重要なところは日本語の単語も交えて説明してもらえました。
乗馬中は列の先頭と最後尾にガイドさんがいて馬を誘導してくれるので、馬がコースを外れることはほぼありませんでした。
(私は馬へのサインを間違えてしまったので外れそうになりましたが。。)
"止まれ"のサインを馬がなかなか聞いてくれないこともありましたが、危ないときはガイドさんが止めてくれたので大丈夫でした。

大自然の中、馬に乗りながら写真を撮ることができたり、ガイドさんから生えている植物の説明を聞けたりして楽しかったです。
水の中をじゃぶじゃぶ馬が歩いていくのもなかなか面白いです。
(汚れてもいいズボンで行くといいですよ)

馬に乗るのは初めてでしたが、無事に乗ることができたのでとてもいい経験になりました。

英語が分かったら、馬の扱いの説明がよく分かるので乗馬への不安がもっと少なくなったと思いますし、乗馬中の植物の説明などもよく分かってもっと面白いだろうなと思います。
不安な方は日本語のプランのほうがいいかもしれません。
