On my first trip to the Big Island, I was looking forward to the Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing. I knew it would be a full moon when I planned the trip, so my expectations were more focused on the sunset than the stars, and it did not disappoint—it was a breathtaking view. Our Japanese guide provided thorough explanations, making the drive to the summit enjoyable. Additionally, I appreciated being dropped off at the hotel instead of the designated drop-off point. The BLT sandwich for dinner was also very delicious.
初めてのハワイ島で、楽しみにしていたマウナケア山頂サンセット&星空観測。旅行を計画した時から満月なのはわかっていたので、星空よりサンセットへの期待が膨らんでいましたが、期待通りの絶景でした。日系のガイドさんが丁寧に色々説明していただき、山頂への車中も飽きることなく過ごせました。また、帰りは指定の降車場所でなくホテルまで送っていただき、ありがとうございました。夕食のBLTサンドもとても美味しくいただきました。

The purpose of going to the Big Island was to visit the summit of Mauna Kea, but I joined a tour based on the information that it would be better. The English-speaking guide was very kind and friendly, making it a fun experience. The weather was great, and I was able to encounter truly beautiful sights. I am grateful for the wonderful sunset. Regarding the starry sky, it was a full moon that day, so if there hadn't been a moon, we might have seen an even more amazing starry sky. However, the guide showed us the moon's surface through a telescope that clearly captured the craters, provided us with photos of the moon, and gave detailed explanations, allowing us to have a great time. Mauna Kea truly became a wonderful memory.
ハワイ島に行く目的はマウナケア山頂行くことが目的でしたが、ツアーに参加するほうが良いという情報で参加しました。イングリッシュガイドでしたが、
大変親切で、フレンドリーなガイドさんで楽しかったです。天候もよく、本当に良い光景にも巡り合うことができました。素晴らしいサンセットに感謝します。星空については、当日は満月でしたので、もし、月がなけれもっと素晴らしい星空が望めたかもしれません。しかし、ガイドさんが月のクレーターがばっちり写っている望遠鏡で月面を見せてくれたり、月の写真を提供いただいたり、詳しい説明をいただいたいたりして、よい時間を過ごせました。本当に良い思い出になるマウナケアでした。

I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy the experience of encouraging Boe (the horse's name) to graze and giving a little kick to speed up, all while feeling a sense of tension until the end. I was very happy to have this dream-like first experience of riding a horse through the great outdoors in my mid-60s.
1人での参加でしたが、草を喰むBoe(馬の名前)を促すことや腹を蹴っての少しの早足も緊張感と共に最後まで楽しく体験できました。60代半ばで大自然の中を馬に乗って闊歩するという憧れのような初体験ができたことがとても嬉しかったです。

I knew that the tour date was not suitable for stargazing due to the seasonal factors and being a few days after the full moon, but I had made my decision to participate after the travel date was set, so I was prepared for that. On the day of the tour, our guide was Stefan, who grew up in Japan, and he provided a fun experience. According to the guide, the moon's influence was not a problem since it was already a few days past the full moon and the moon would rise after the tour ended, but he was concerned about the clouds. I wished for no clouds in the sky, but unfortunately, my worries came true. However, there was just enough of a gap to see the sunset.
I understood that due to the timing, it was more likely that we wouldn't see the stars, but I was really looking forward to it, so it was truly disappointing.
For cold weather preparation, I wore: on top, a tank top + short-sleeve Heattech + a slightly thicker long-sleeve T-shirt + a light down jacket + a scarf around my neck; on the bottom, Heattech leggings + warm windproof pants with a boa lining (I also wore a long skirt that I had on from the start). I put on the warm clothing I brought with me at the Onizuka Visitor Center. It was a windless day at the summit, but it was still cold, and I borrowed a jacket from the guide. The jacket I borrowed was really warm and a great help. I also appreciated the warm cocoa service. My friend brought a hot pack, which was helpful too. I wished I had brought gloves. I recommend bringing gloves that allow you to touch your phone screen (like those without fingertips).
However, the restroom situation was a bit challenging. The guide advised us to use the facilities at the Onizuka Visitor Center, saying there were portable toilets at the summit, but they weren't clean. I made sure to go before the tour, but I tend to need the restroom frequently, and the cold made it worse. I was also told to drink water frequently to avoid altitude sickness, so I couldn't avoid hydration. I remember there were about four portable toilets at the summit, but when I peeked in because I couldn't hold it anymore, they were too dirty to use. So, the off-road return trip was really tough (laughs). This seemed to be a common occurrence, as the guide mentioned on the way back that it was hard to hold it on the off-road path. By the way, the restrooms at the Onizuka Visitor Center are flush toilets, so you can use them with peace of mind. However, since there were participants from other tour companies and the overall number of people was large, there was a long line for the women's restroom.
It was very disappointing not to see the beautiful sunset or the starry sky, but it was truly a valuable experience to reach a height higher than Mount Fuji, and the guide was a veteran, which was reassuring. I hope to join another tour with this company someday and see the sunset and the starry sky next time.
ツアー申込日が季節的なことと満月の数日後のため、星空ツアーに適していないことはわかっていたのですが、旅行日が決定した後に参加を決めたので、覚悟はしていました。当日のガイドさんは日本育ちのステファンさんで、楽しく案内してくださいました。ガイドさん曰く、月の影響については既に満月より数日過ぎていて、月が昇るのがツアーが終わった後の時間であるため問題はないこと、しかし雲が心配とのこと。どうか雲が空にかかっていませんように、とその願いも虚しく、心配が的中してしまいました。しかし、かろうじて隙間があり、そこから夕焼けは見ることができました。
時期的な問題もあったので、無理かもしれない可能性の方が高かいことは承知していたものの、もしかして。。。と、星空をとても楽しみにしていたので、本当に残念でした。
寒さ対策としては、上:タンクトップ+半袖ヒートテック+少々厚手の長Tシャツ+ライトダウンジャケット+ストールを首に巻く、下:ヒートテックのレギンス+暖かいボア裏地付きの風を通さないタイプのズボン(最初からはいていた長いスカートもそのまま着ていました)で挑みました。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで手荷物で持ってきた防寒着を着込みました。山頂でも風が全くない日でしたが、さすがに山頂は寒く、ガイドさんにジャケットをお借りしました。お借りしたジャケットが本当に暖かく、助かりました。温かいココアのサービスも嬉しかったです。友達が持ってきてくれたホッカイロも助かりました。手袋を持っていけばよかったなぁと思いました。携帯の画面が触れるような(指先がないタイプとか)手袋があったら持って行くことをお勧めします
ただ、トイレ事情がちょっと大変でした。ガイドさんからは、オニヅカビジターセンターで行っておいてくださいね、山頂にも簡易トイレがあるけど綺麗じゃないので。と案内があったので、ちゃんと行っておいたのですが、元々トイレに行く頻度が多い私も、寒いのせいで更にトイレが近くなります。そして、高山病にならないように、お水をちびちび頻繁に飲むようにと言われていたので、水分を取らないということもできませんでした。山頂の簡易トイレは4つほどあったように記憶していますが、トイレが我慢できそうになくて、使ってみようかと覗いてみたところ、汚くてどうしても使えませんでした。だから帰りのオフロードが本当に辛かった(笑)それはお馴染みの出来事のようで、ガイドさんも帰り道、オフロードの道がトイレ我慢してると辛いよね〜って話してました。ちなみに、オニヅカビジターセンターのトイレは水洗なので安心して使えます。しかし他のツアー会社の参加者もいますし、全体に人数が多いのもあって、女性トイレは長い列ができていました。
綺麗な夕陽も星空も見れなかったことは大変残念でしたが、富士山より高いところまで行けたことは本当に貴重な体験でしたし、ガイドさんもベテランの方で安心できました。いつか、またこちらの会社のツアーに参加して、次こそは夕陽と星空を見たいと思います。

They know what they are doing (with a flare of joking) to take your nerves from reminding you you’re going to be hundred of feet up in the air. It’s worth it! You’ll appreciate the picturesque palm trees, streams and lastly the huge waterfall. This took my breath away but in a good way. Bring your camera for all the unforgettable shot. What you show all your social media friends and family will surely make them jealous. Love the experience highly recommended!

Henry was an awesome guide; we got a kick out of watching him chase a group of wild pigs. :-D He did a great job pointing out photo opportunities, wild animals, and educating us on the history of Kohala.
Jerry drove us to and from the meeting point. He was super friendly and shared lots of stories about growing up on the island and the importance of family. He also pointed out places to eat in Kohala on the way back, which was good because we were hungry!
Isiah was the second guide on our tour, and he picked ripe fruit from the land during our snack stop at a beautiful waterfall. It was fun to try all fruits and hang out with them, learning the history of the land.
Overall would highly recommend this tour!

The Rainbow fall was beautiful and the banyan tree nearby was insane! The star gazing was great even though the conditions were not the best (bright moon). For me the best experience of the tour was getting deep inside the cave - it was amazing, I had never seen anything like it.

My family did this experience. It’s quite a drive to get to this place. I did this with my husband and 2 kids (ages 12 & 9). The tour guides were really friendly and informative. They chose our horses for us based on weight and experience. The horses know where they’re going so there’s little for the rider to do. The waterfall was very cold, deep, and there’s quite a current! Be prepared if you want to swim (we did!). They have kayaks and paddle boards if you prefer not to swim. My kids loved this experience and have been asking for horseback lessons since we got back. Bring a long sleeve shirt or light jacket just in case- we were chilly!

Overall, it was a tour where I could truly feel the great nature of Hawaii, and I was very satisfied with the beautiful sunset and starry sky. Not only the sunset and starry sky, but I also enjoyed the scenery of mountains, the ocean, and the changing rocks and plants along the way. I definitely want to recommend this to friends going to the Big Island.
We gathered in Kona in the afternoon and traveled by van with our tour guide. The tour guide was an American who grew up in Japan and could speak both English and Japanese, so those who don't speak English can participate with peace of mind.
For stargazing, even those who can speak some English might not understand the explanations unless they are given in Japanese, as the details are quite technical, so I was really glad to have a guide who spoke Japanese.
I brought various jackets for warmth, but they also provided good quality cold-weather gear, so as long as I had thermal wear and a long-sleeve sweatshirt, it was no problem. At the summit, I didn't feel much of the thin air and was able to finish the tour without any issues.
とにかくハワイの大自然を感じられ、綺麗な夕日、綺麗な星空を見れて大満足なツアーでした。夕日と星空だけでなく、道中の山や海、場所によって変わる岩や植物などの景色もたくさん楽しめました。ハワイ島に行く友人には絶対お勧めしたい内容です。
午後にコナで集合し、ツアーガイドのバンで移動。
ツアーガイドは日本育ちのアメリカ人の方で、英語、日本語両方できるので、英語ができない方でも安心して参加できます。
星空観測なんかは英語がそこそこできる方でも、日本語で説明してもらわないと理解できないくらいマニアックな説明をしてくれるので、日本語できるガイドで本当に良かったです。
防寒対策でいろいろと上着持って行きましたが、防寒着もしっかりしたものを貸してもらえるので、上下ヒートテックと長袖スウェットくらいあれば問題無かったです。
山頂はあまり空気の薄さも感じず、特に何の問題も無くツアーを終えられました。

I thought this horseback riding experience was a bit hard for complete beginners. The staff was very kind and interacted with us in a fun way, which made me very satisfied. However, the fact that it was only in English was a concern. I understood that there was no Japanese guide, but since we are dealing with animals, it's very important to have explanations that need to be conveyed clearly, and doing that entirely in English felt a bit off. While it's understandable that the guide is in English, I believe there should be a Japanese version of the instructions on how to ride and safety precautions, or at least an email sent in advance with that information.
Even though the staff explained things clearly, I think there might be instances where I could miss something if it's in English. It's not just about being careful for myself; we are dealing with living animals. Their mood can change, and they might get agitated over small things. I actually experienced that this time. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and the horse is not to blame, but I hope this aspect can be improved.
今回の乗馬体験は、全くの乗馬初心者にはちょっとハードだったかなと思いました。スタッフの方はとても親切で、楽しく接してくれて大満足なんですが、まずは英語ガイドなこと。日本語ガイドがない事はわかっていたのですが、動物相手なので、とても重要なことの説明が必要なのに、それを全部英語でと言うのは、ちょっと違うかなと思いました。ガイドは英語でも仕方ないことですが、注意しなければいけない事、馬の乗り方の説明ガイドの日本語版は用意して欲しい、もしくは前もってメールで送るなどの配慮が必要だと思いました。
スタッフの方はわかりやすく説明はしてくれても、英語だと聞き逃したりがあるとおもいます。
自分だけが気をつけていればで済むことではないからです。相手は生きている動物なので。その時の気分や、ちょっとしたことで暴れてしまうこともあるからです。実際今回私はそうでした。大事にはいたりませんでしたし、馬に罪はないのでそれ以上どうと言う事はありませんが、その点は改善して欲しい事です。

The sunset, starry sky, and observatory were all deeply moving and satisfying. In addition to that, the efficient sightseeing on the Big Island was excellent, and during the nearly 8-hour tour, they promptly answered individual questions in both English and Japanese (the languages available depend on the guide). Their witty responses matched the atmosphere perfectly, and I felt they had a wide breadth of knowledge and had studied extensively. My stay on the Big Island was very short, but it turned out to be a great experience. Regardless of changes in weather, season, or circumstances, I believe they can adapt to satisfy guests based on the situation at that time.
サンセット、星空、天体展望台は全て感慨深く満足のいく内容でした。それに加えて、ハワイ島の効率的な観光などはもちろんのこと、8時間弱に及ぶツアーの間は個々の質問などにも英語日本語ですぐにお答えいただいたり(可能言語は担当者によるとの事)、場の雰囲気に合わせたウィットに富んだ切り返しが絶妙で、知識の幅が広くものすごく勉強されているんだなと感じました。自分はとても短いハワイ島の滞在でしたが、大変良い経験となりました。天候や季節や状況が変わっても、その時の状況に合わせて満足させてもらえるのでないでしょうか。

A great time at Umauma Falls Zipline Tour & Waterfall Swim Adventure / 9 Zipline Tour.
Although it rained, it was a great time with my visiting friends. Our group had about seven total members, and we all felt included and enjoyed the adventure together. When the weather turned into rain, and the wind made the rain even more interesting... We all decided to make the most of it and enjoy the unique experience. Our Guides were friendly, informative, and humorous. They take safety seriously but they take the time to make sure you are having fun while being safe. Safety tip... "Keep your head and face to one side of the tether, or you'll get a knuckle sandwich." We will return on a sunny day to enjoy the waterfalls, but it was a great time for all, and the guides made it extra memorable.

The meeting place was "Island Gourmet Market," but there was a sign for "Island Grill" nearby, and I mistakenly thought that was the place. The similar names were confusing... I was a bit late for the meeting time, and I sincerely apologize for that, but they called me and waited.
It was much colder than I had imagined, and I really wondered if this was Hawaii. I brought my winter gear for climbing, and as I got closer to the summit, I kept putting on more layers, but at the top, it was below freezing. It was really cold. Still, I was moved to witness the beautiful, perfect sunset. Honestly, it was so cold that after the sunset, I wanted to go home (laughs). However, we then enjoyed stargazing. I was looking forward to the guide taking pictures with the stars, but even though they used a good camera, the photo quality was disappointing.
There were many other tour guests, so there were lights around, and with the strong wind, it was a challenging environment to properly capture the stars.
The BLT sandwich for the meal was really delicious, but I wished for a warm drink. (I was really envious of the other tour guests who were given warm drinks.) It was so cold that I caught a bit of a cold.
集合場所が「アイランドグルメマーケット」だったのですが近くに「アイランドグリル」という看板があってここかな?と勘違いしてしまいました。名前が似ていてややこしい…。集合時間に少し遅れてしまい本当に申し訳なかったですが電話連絡があり待っていてくれました。
想像していた何倍も寒くて本当にここはハワイなのかと思うぐらい寒かったです。登山用の防寒着を持参し、山頂に近づくにつれてどんどん着込んでいきましたが山頂は氷点下。本当に寒かった。それでも美しい完璧なサンセットを拝むことができて感動しました。
正直寒すぎてサンセット終わりでもう帰りたいとなりました(笑) が、その後星空観測をして星空も満喫。ガイドさんが星空との写真を撮ってくれるということで期待していたけどいいカメラ使っているのに撮影レベルが低くて残念でした。
ツアー客が他にもたくさんいるので光などもあり、風邪も強くしっかり星空撮影しようと思ったら難しい環境でした。

Dear Hiroco,
This is Tomoe from Nature School. Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Sunset and Stars Tour.
It can feel quite cold at the Onizuka Center due to the strong winds, which lowers the perceived temperature. It’s a climate that might not seem typical for Hawaii, but I believe that’s part of the charm of the Big Island. Since this tour can be chilly, we provide warm beverages (cocoa, tea).
Some guests choose not to drink because it makes them need to use the restroom more frequently, so instead of recommending it to each individual, I requested warm beverages a couple of times when all guests were together. However, due to the strong winds and the fact that it was in English, it may have been missed on that day. We did serve other guests, so if there is another opportunity to guide you in the future, please feel free to ask for warm beverages during the tour.
I sincerely apologize for not offering warm drinks to you and your group.
We will share this feedback internally and strive to improve the quality of our tours moving forward. Thank you for your valuable input.

During my fourth visit to the Big Island, I participated in the long-awaited "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour."
Since I was staying in Hilo, I started by inquiring whether it was possible to meet at the Onizuka Visitor Center when making my reservation. They kindly responded to my inquiry in Japanese, and I successfully completed my booking.
On the day of the tour, I arrived at the center (elevation 2800m) two hours before the meeting time by rental car and acclimatized by exploring the surrounding area.
From the center, I switched to the tour vehicle and joined others who had come from various hotels in Kona. I was fortunate to sit in the front seat, and we set off for the summit. I was surprised by the off-road conditions, but the tour guide and driver provided explanations in both English and Japanese, and before I knew it, we reached the summit (4200m) with its observation points. There were already many tourists there, but we were able to enjoy the sunset in a spacious area, and the guide took commemorative photos for us. The wind and remaining snow made the perceived temperature around -5 degrees, but I managed to cope with my down jacket and gloves.
After the sunset, we descended to the parking lot at 3600m for stargazing. As it got darker, the number of visible stars increased dramatically, creating a series of breathtaking moments. Here too, we received detailed explanations about constellations in Japanese, and the time flew by.
Additionally, the guide shared the photos taken at the summit and during stargazing via LINE, creating memorable keepsakes.
I highly recommend this tour, which allows you to experience a height 500 meters higher than Mount Fuji and enjoy the dual excitement of sunset and stargazing!

We really enjoyed this tour. It is a long one so be prepared. But they keep you hydrated and fed. I loved the black sand beach, and the sea turtles and the stop along the shore the most. But all of the events were really fun. They packed so much into one day. it was a great tour and we had a lot of fun. The picnic, the stop at the bakery, and the dinner, you were all excellent quality as well.

We marched in a line. Beyond the vast mountains and hills, the sea was visible. Cows were grazing here and there. The scenery was so beautiful that I thought this might be what heaven looks like.
1列に並んで行進します。広大な山、丘の向こうに海が見えます。牛があちこちで草を食べています。天国は、こう言う所かもと思った程美しい景色でした。

I was worried that it might be too cold at such a high altitude and that my winter gear wouldn't be sufficient, but they provided parkas and warm jackets, allowing for a comfortable horseback riding experience. This was my third time horseback riding on the Big Island of Hawaii, and the scenery was beautiful, the horses were all well-behaved, and although the staff spoke only English, they spoke clearly and slowly, making it easy to understand. I feel that this horseback riding experience was the best one yet.
標高が高く、思った以上に寒くて防寒が間に合わないのではないかと不安でしたが、パーカーや防寒ジャケットが用意されて快適に乗馬できました。
ハワイ島でのホースバックライディングは3度目ですが、
景色が良く、馬も良い子ばかりで、スタッフは英語のみですが、わかりやすくゆっくり喋ってくれたので、理解することができ、
今回のホースバックライディングが一番良かったように思います。

This tour was one of my families favorite adventure while vacationing in Hawaii. James, our guide, was great. Very knowledgeable, had a sense of humor, and did a great job with the photos. He shared some of his other work with our group and his photos are outstanding.
I would do this trip again! But I would pack some additional clothes; it was cold at that elevation.

The trip was fantastic and Ray was super informative. It was a beautiful night and we got to see a lot of stars and planets and the moon rising as well. It was spectacular and a must try for everyone! We thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it!! Also loved the hot chocolate touch at the end because it was quite cold on the slopes. The pickup and drop off was on time. The one thing that could have been better in my opinion was the food options and I also wished we had stopped somewhere to see the spectacular sunset. Apart from that, we really enjoyed it
