Mauna Kea Summit Sunrise & Stargazing Tour

Great Tour there is option of English or Japanese

Reviewed by: Andrew

We took the Japanese tour since the english tour was sold out. Fortunately we were bilingual so there were no issues for us. Mr. Aoki the tour coordinator was very helpful. There might be few things that you just have to laugh about.

Sadly we weren’t able to see the sunrise because of weather issues but we got to see the star gazing perfectly!!

FYI not being avle to see doesnt happen often because this tour is known for being able to see more than 300 days/year.

Still waiting for our pics from the tour guide since they took the pictures for us! Will post all the pics when we recieve them

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

I was able to experience the sacred atmosphere of Waipio. ワイピオの神聖な雰囲気が味わえました。

Reviewed by: Tomo

We participated as a family of five across three generations, and the staff interacted cheerfully with the elderly without any signs of annoyance. It seems that even the parents, who don't understand English, were able to enjoy horseback riding. We were very satisfied as we rode for quite a long time. We would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

家族三世代5人での参加でしたが、年寄り相手でも嫌な顔せずに明るく接してくれて英語のわからない親世代でも楽しく乗馬できたようです。かなり長い時間馬に乗るのでとても満足しました。また機会があれば参加したいです。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunrise & Stargazing Tour

Once-in-a-life kind of experience

Reviewed by: Shin Taniguchi

Many people say sunset is better than sunrise, but sunrise is great, too.
Even though we were on the tour about two days before the full-moon (meaning moonlight is very bright and moon doesn't set until about 5 in the morning), we could enjoy the gorgeous stars in the sky with decent explanation of the stars.
Sunrise was also gorgeous. It was no doubt one of the most beautiful scenaries I have ever seen in my life. Although we were lucky enough to see both stars and sunrise in good weather and it is said that we mostly see clear sky at the peak of Mauna Kea, you may have to keep in mind weather is always a variable you can never tell.

Our guides were good, with a lot of experience and knowledge, trying to do their best to make the tour enjoyable.

If you are okay to go to bed early on the day before and can wake up at 1:30 in the morning, it will let you spend your time more wisely because you have a whole day even after you come back from the tour. (we came back to the hotel around 8:30 am)

Also be noted that the temperature up there is very low. Especially because the weater in Hawaii is hot and you need to face the near-freezing-point weather on the same day, make sure to prepare warm clothes yourself. The ski jackets and pants they lend you will not be enough.

Best trip.

One of the best trips we have been on. JEFF was excellent both in the way he described the Island, his humour and knowledge.
Overall this created a memory that will last a life time.
We should also say that this trip would never have existed without pele. It made us realise how much we owe to nature and how much we take it for granted.

Reviewed by: hrf

I previously participated in the same tour and enjoyed it, so I joined again with a friend. After the rain, the water level in the river at Waipi'o Valley had increased, and I was a bit worried when crossing the river on horseback, but the guide carefully checked for safe spots and led us cautiously, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any anxiety. It was a pity that the restroom at the meeting point was a portable toilet and not very clean. Other than that, I was very satisfied.

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

Waipi'o Valley is a very beautiful place! ワイピオ渓谷はとても美しい場所！

Reviewed by: Lily

Waipi'o Valley was a wonderful place with a gentle atmosphere. You can easily reach the viewpoint by car, but the road down to the valley is off-limits for rental cars and is a narrow, bumpy, steep path that is best avoided if you're not experienced. It's advisable to know in advance where to pull over to avoid oncoming vehicles. Very few people walk down, and since there are no markers once you descend, I think it's better to go on a tour rather than trying to navigate on foot.

Initially, the staff will take you by car to the horse stable in the valley. There were 8 participants in the horseback riding tour, accompanied by 2 staff members. The instructions on how to ride were simple, mixed with broken Japanese, but the horses were all very smart and guided us along (laughs). Unlike in Japan, where someone typically leads the horse, each person is given a horse and can ride right away, even if it's their first time. It's so much fun!

When I considered booking beforehand, the Japanese tour was a full day, so I opted for this half-day option instead. Since it's a first experience, it requires quite a bit of stamina, so I think half a day is sufficient.

ワイピオ渓谷は、穏やかな気が流れる素晴らしい場所でした。
上から眺める展望台には車ですぐ行けますが、そこから渓谷に下る道路はレンタカーでは通行禁止ですし、無理に行こうとするのは止めた方が良いガタガタの急勾配の狭い道です。対向の車を避けるのも、あらかじめ避ける場所を把握していた方が良い、慣れた人が行く道です。
歩いて下る人もとても少ないです。下りてからも道しるべなどはないので、ぐるっと巡るとなると、馬ではなく歩くのだとしてもツアーで行った方が良いと思います。

はじめに、スタッフが渓谷の馬小屋まで車で連れて行ってくれます。乗馬ツアーには、8人が参加して2人のスタッフが付きました。
馬の乗り方は、カタコトの日本語混じりの簡単な説明だけでしたが、とにかく、お馬さんたちがみんな賢くて、連れて行ってくれます(笑)
日本にありがちな、手綱を誰かが引いて連れて行ってくれる訳ではなく、初めてだろうが1人１頭与えられ、いきなり乗せてもらえます。
とっても楽しいです！

予約前に検討した際、日本語のツアーだとまる1日だったので、午前中だけのこちらにしました。初体験だとかなり体力が必要ですので、半日で十分だと思います。

Awesome tour

Reviewed by: Jason

Our guide, Gordon, made sure the shuttle ride was comfortable and enjoyable. the stargazing and sunset views were amazing! It is well recommended to take this tour.

Lasagna was a bit salty for asian taste in my opinion. Browny, cookies and drinks were nice. Jumpers and gloves were provided but it was still cold, so it would be better if you brought more warm clothings.

One thing, i came on this tour with my wife (newly weds) but the seats were limited, so we had to sit separately :( it would be nice if there were seating plans or notice beforehand.

Nonetheless, i would take this tour again if I do ever come back to the big island!

It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Royal Kona Resort. As soon as you arrive at the ranch, there is a parking lot on the right side. The gate is closed, so you need to open it yourself to park. The staff speaks very clear English, which is reassuring. Riding through the grasslands feels wonderful. You can ride the horse for about 50 meters three times. The horses are very well-trained, so you can ride with confidence.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunrise & Stargazing Tour

First time close to the doors to haven:)

Reviewed by: Darko

I recommend this Sunrise tours especially to people who never conquers mountain peak higher then 3000 m.
Of course, I recommend it to everyone else, but for those who are for the first time on a higher elevation this is simply the must.

The flow of emotions I felt when I reached the peak was so overwhelming that I couldn't stop the tears.
It's almost impossible to express the feeling of inner fulfillment when you stand on the top of a high mountain watching the sunrise!

The Veltra crew did outstanding planning by set of small stops so our body can adapt to over 4000 m attitude.
First we stopped at 2000 to adapt to coldness of night and change in altitude. (They distributed parkas to all of us at that time)
Then we stopped at around 3000 m for unforgettable stargazing experience.
I saw shapes of Milky way, before but this was on completely different level.
I think the altitude of 3000 m makes substantial difference. There you don't have any light pollution but also the air is already thin enough to give you unforgettable experience of pure connection with the universe.

Then finally, just when you think that it can not get better then this, on the brink of dawn, we reached the summit and saw and felt unforgettable sunrise that will, at least in my case, stay forever in my memories.

I would like to use this opportunity to thank Veltra team and especially to our guide Stefan for allowing me to experience this unforgettable sunrise.

Sincerely.

My first horseback riding experience! Even though my English is terrible, I had a great time.

First, they explained how to handle the horse. Of course, it was in English, but they also provided important points in broken Japanese, and with gestures, I was able to understand most of it.

As soon as we mounted, the well-behaved horses moved along, taking breaks by the water and grazing. I enjoyed the negative ions of Waipi'o while learning about taro, noni, and kukui trees!

The view from the observation deck was amazing, but the sight of Hiilawe Falls from below was also magnificent.

初めての乗馬！しかも英語はまるっきりダメな私でしたが、充分楽しめました。
先ず初めに馬の操作を説明されます。勿論英語ですが、重要な所はカタコトの日本語で説明がありジェスチャーでだいたいは分かります。

We participated as a family of four with our 8-year-old and 10-year-old sons. I was a bit worried about whether it would be okay for my 8-year-old, but they lent us helmets, and the cowgirl explained how to handle the horses clearly and slowly. Perhaps because it was after a typhoon, the wind was strong, but we enjoyed the vast ranch spreading out in all directions, the beautiful coastline, and many sheep and cows, fully experiencing nature. There were cowgirls at the front and back who kept a close eye on the children, and they helped us choose friendly horses for my husband and kids, making it feel like they were always by our side. This is truly amazing; it's an experience that is unimaginable in Japan. We thoroughly enjoyed the two-hour course.

8歳、10歳の息子達と家族4人で参加しました。8歳で本当に大丈夫かとやや不安もありましたが、ヘルメットも貸してくださり、カウガールのお姉さんがはっきりゆっくり馬の扱い方をを説明してくれました。台風の後だったせいか風は強かったですが、360度一面に広がる牧場と、美しい海岸線と沢山の羊に牛に、大自然を満喫。先頭と後方にカウガールがついてくれてしっかり子供を見てくれたし、馬も主人と子供とで仲の良い馬を選んでくれていつもそばにいるような感じでした。

I participated with my high school daughter and husband. This was our third time riding, following the Grand Canyon and Parker Ranch on the Big Island, and we are still beginners.

Fun time for all ages

Reviewed by: Happy in Hawaii

My 7 year old was a bit worried. He's definitely afraid of heights and it took a bit of convincing to get him to even agree to try. Standing on a 65 foot platform ready to zip while dangling 150+ feet over a waterfall and rock river was a bit daunting but once we started there was no turning back. He wanted to do the course again but it was time to head back to Kona. The rest of us all had a blast as well (a 13 year old and 2 old fuddy-duddy parents :-)

The guides know how to have fun and make sure everyone is being safe. They were all really great.

And if you are driving from Kona take a few extra minutes to stop on the way. There are some amazing sights along the way that are very picture worthy.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Very few places could match this experience

Reviewed by: Darra

Very few places could match this experience. The location; the slow climb up the giant sloping mountain. We went through rain, sun, even through a cloud; through the lava landscape, ranch lands and very bumpy rocky last stretch of road to reach the top! And wow it was a view from the top.
Be warned; it is very very cold; not what you expect from your Hawaiian break! You get nice warm coats from the tour group though (and later a little hot cocoa and brownie to keep you going!)
As the sun sets; you can see the mountains shadow on the other side; a glimpse of Maui and the glint of the sun off the telescopes preparing for their nights work. You can see the odd bit of movement as they open up. As soon as the suns down; its all go though. We have to leave the area quickly as the lights from the cars interfere with the telescopes (so no, there is no looking around inside them; if that is what you're hoping for in this trip!).
We move down slope a little to a good spot to see the huge expanse of clear, cloudless sky and the abundance of stars.
It is slightly interrupted with the brightness of the moon (so depending how long your stay is in Hawaii, plan for a darker night, unless you love the moon!); but not enough to stop us seeing nebula, planets and stars - its a really interesting spot to see both the northern and southern skies.
We did also spot a bit of the glow from the erupting volcano

Our guide Jeff picked us up from the Pu'u Huluhulu Cinder Cone parking lot, at the base of the road up to the summit. We had a very nice pre-packaged dinner at the base camp, then rode up to the visitor center and onward to the observatories. A bumpy and steep ride, I was very happy to have an experienced driver at the wheel!
At the top the weather was cool and clear and good for viewing a sunset, then we went down to a slightly lower lot to view stars and planets through a good quality Celestron scope.... the clear air and high altitude really added detail! First time I have been able to make out the rings of Saturn, and four of Jupiter's moons were posing really well for us! Some really excellent deep space views too! Check out a cool image of the moon from the Celestron scope....

From calling the day before to confirm with us on meeting location and time to hot brownies at the end of the tour. Everything was great and the guide took the time to get to know us so she could make our experience the best it could be.

I would highly recommend this company.
