Mauna Kea smiled. マウナケアは微笑んだ

Reviewed by: たつや

I made a reservation targeting the timing of the high moon phase, and Waikoloa was sunny from the morning, raising my expectations, but there were somewhat thick clouds on the mountain.

While taking a break at the Onizuka Visitor Center, it started to rain, turning my hopes into anxiety. When I reached the summit, it was snowing, and a sense of resignation began to set in as I endured the cold while waiting.

Then, after about 15 minutes, the clouds began to thin out, and the sun started to shine through. In the end, I was able to witness a beautiful sunset beyond the sea of clouds, and then I moved on to stargazing.

There were moments when thin clouds passed by, but I was able to enjoy a sky full of stars.

A starry sky like I've never experienced before. 経験したことのない星空

Reviewed by: マハロっち

One hour of sunset viewing at the summit of Mauna Kea.
I unexpectedly saw snow on the Big Island of Hawaii.
At 4,000 meters, the air is thin, and I could barely walk, but everyone on the tour seemed fine. They also helped with altitude acclimatization along the way, and the advice was provided in both English and Japanese, so I felt that most people would be okay.

The starry sky was breathtaking, and fortunately, there was no moon, making it the best stargazing experience of my life.

I definitely recommend it, although I think weather and luck play a role.

An experience of feeling the earth and the universe. 大地と宇宙を感じる体験

Reviewed by: みっちゃん

I stayed at King Kamehameha. While sitting on a bench outside the front desk, a friendly man named James came over to talk to me. He earnestly guided me in Japanese about volcanoes, lava, and stars, even if it was just a little bit. At the summit of Mauna Kea, I felt like I might be blown away by the strong winds, but he took a lot of photos for me. I was very satisfied to see many breathtaking views, including a large telescope, lava shaped in various colors, and the sunset. When it got cold, I was able to borrow high-performance cold-weather gear. The hot cocoa was also delicious. Thank you for the amazing experience!

キングカメハメハに宿泊していました。フロントの外のベンチで座っていると、気さくなジェームスさんが声をかけてくれました。少しですが、火山のこと、溶岩のこと、星のこと、日本語で一生懸命ガイドしてくださいました。マウナケアの山頂では強風で吹き飛ばされそうなりながら、たくさん写真を撮ってくださいました。大きな望遠鏡に、多彩な色で形作られた溶岩、夕焼けなど、たくさんの絶景がみられて大満足です。寒くなったら高性能な防寒着を貸し出してもらえました。ホットココアも美味しかったです。最高の体験をありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: E.A

I was unsure about joining the tour since I was going alone, but since it’s Hawaii Island, I decided to give it a try. This tour takes you to the summit in a 12-passenger bus. We go up to 4,200 meters, so to avoid altitude sickness, we take a 40-minute break at 2,700 meters to acclimatize. During that time, we could buy souvenirs and use the restroom, which was quite clean.

Once we reached the summit, it was very cold, around 0 degrees Celsius. Many people borrowed warm clothing, but I was fine with what I brought (a knit hat, neck warmer, fleece, down jacket, and thermal pants).

The sunset was amazing, as we could see it from a higher point than Mount Fuji. After that, we moved to a spot where we could see the starry sky, and while enjoying warm cocoa, we spent a luxurious time learning about which stars belonged to which constellations.

It’s a life-changing experience, so I highly recommend you go!

1人参加だしツアー行くか迷ってましたが、せっかくのハワイ島だから行ってみようと決めました。
こちらのツアーは12人乗りのバスで山頂までいきます。
4200mまであがるので、高山病にならないように2700m地点で40分休憩して体を慣らします。
そこではお土産を買えたりトイレも行けました。
トイレは普通に綺麗でした。

山頂まで行くととても寒くて0度くらいになります。
防寒具は借りてる人も多かったですが私は持参したもので足りました。

その後、星空が見える位置まで移動し、どの星がどの星座か教えてもらいながら温かいココアをいただきながら贅沢な時間を過ごしました。

It was a time to quietly watch the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds. The colors changed moment by moment. As I looked at the sky, I felt my mind gradually quieting down. It's beautiful. Even though I couldn't express more than that, it felt sufficient. A time when I didn't have to think about anything or be anyone. I thought it was incredibly luxurious to have moments like this when my heart could unwind.

Reviewed by: 香香

I couldn't find a Japanese tour, so I joined an English tour, which made me a bit anxious, but the result was absolutely satisfying! At one point, the road to the summit was closed due to thick fog, but as predicted by our guide James, the closure was lifted, and we were able to experience the best sunset and a sky full of stars at the summit of Mauna Kea.

Even though Hawaii is a tropical paradise, the temperature at the 4,000-meter summit was very low, around 0 degrees Celsius, and the air pressure was also low, which posed a risk of health issues. However, James was incredibly reliable, preparing and guiding us like a Sherpa, which was truly reassuring.

The beauty of the sunset through the Subaru Telescope and the starlit sky viewed from an even higher location than the Mauna Kea foothills is something I will never forget. James took some very skillful and creative photos, which I continue to enjoy even after returning home. Thank you very much!

日本語ツアーが見つけられず、英語ツアーでの参加となり、すこし不安でしたが結果は大満足でした!
一時は濃霧で山頂への道が閉鎖されてましたが、ガイドのJamesさんの予想通り、閉鎖が解除されマウナケア山頂で最高の夕日と満天の星空に出会えました。
常夏の​国ハワイとはいえ4,000m山頂は、気温が0度前後と非常に低く、気圧も低いことから、体調をくずすリスクがある中で、Jamesさんがシェルパのように頼もしく準備・案内してくれ、本当に心強かったです。
​すばる望遠鏡越しに沈む夕日や、マウナケア山麓より、さらに高い場所で見上げる星空は、一生忘れることができない美しさでした。
Jamesさんはとても上手でクリエイティブな写真を撮ってくれ、帰国後も楽しませてもらっています。
ありがとうございました!

Tips and suggestions

The summit is at a high elevation, so to avoid altitude sickness, I was taking deep breaths even in the car. Also, since part of the road is gravel and the car shakes, those who are sensitive to motio

Tips and suggestions

山頂は標高が高く、高山病にならないようよう私は車の中でも深呼吸をしていました。また、道が一部砂利道で車が揺れますので、苦手な方は酔い止めの準備をお忘れなく!

It was a starry sky. 満天の星空でした

Reviewed by: yy

I was able to show my parents a sky full of stars. It takes about half a day, but I think it's a worthwhile experience. Thank you.

満天の星空を両親に見せることができました、時間は半日くらい掛かりますが、それに見合う体験だと思います、ありがとうございます。

Snow on the summit 山頂の雪

Reviewed by: ナマズ

The meeting went smoothly, and we were able to comfortably move from Kona to the Onizuka Center at the mid-level. It was New Year's Eve, and although the clouds were thick and it had been raining since the day before, I was glad to see rare snow falling at the summit of Mauna Kea! The sunset was beautiful. The stargazing was a bit disappointing due to the clouds, but overall, I had a great experience participating in this tour.

待ち合わせもスムーズに出来て、コナからも快適に中腹のオニヅカセンターに移動できました。大晦日の日でしたが雲も厚く前日から雨でしたが、マウナケア山頂では珍しく雪が舞っているのを見られて良かったです! サンセットはきれいに見れました 。星空は雲のため少し残念でしたがトータルでとても良いツアーに参加できました。

Wonderful Experience at Mauna Kea

Reviewed by: Bella

I had a wonderful experience on the Mauna Kea tour. The trip was very well organized, and the whole experience was both smooth and memorable.

Our tour guide Jimms was excellent. He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, and he explained everything clearly throughout the tour. He also made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of, especially given the unique conditions at Mauna Kea.

This tour was truly unforgettable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Jimms, for such a great experience!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Mauna Kea Summit and Stargazing was an amazing once-in-a lifetime excursion!

Reviewed by: Tom

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!

Starry sky 星空

Reviewed by: Daisuke

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。
