Deluxe Volcano Unveiled Tour and Golden Lava Cave Expedition [Not Available]

A very educational and fun tour

Reviewed by: TT's mom

Pick up was right on time!
Our guide Matt was very knowledgeable and passionate about Hawaii island from legends to Hawaii original plants and animals. He kept entertaining us until his voice got hoarse! My favorite part of the tour was definitely the lava tube. it's really amazing!! The way to and from the lava tube is super bumpy and rough. If you get motion sickness, you should take medication for it. I brought kids (12 and 10) with us and they enjoyed themselves as well. Hiking was very mild so anyone can enjoy this tour, I think.

Winter storm on the Big Island of Hawaii! Flexible storm watching and discovering the starry sky through gaps in the clouds! ハワイ島に冬の嵐！臨機応変ストームウォッチング＆雲の隙間に星空発見！

Reviewed by: TKD

On February 10th, due to a winter storm, the observatory staff at Mauna Kea had to descend because of the bad weather. The Onizuka Center was also closed all day due to sub-zero temperatures. However, our guide Jin said, "Let's find a hole in the clouds and chase after it. Since it's like this, let's explore the super rare winter storm in Hawaii." Despite being hit by heavy downpours that felt like an automatic car wash, we were able to see the majestic slopes of Mauna Kea, the fantastical cinder cones, the rain clouds changing shape and flowing by, and the massive thunderclouds and lightning approaching from afar. We also spotted a rainbow appearing over the undulating lava and Mauna Kea, which was beautifully snow-covered as its name suggests, along with Mauna Loa, which typically doesn't receive snow, lightly dusted in white.

In the car, there was a mood of acceptance that stargazing was impossible on such a day, but Jin was the only one who hadn’t given up. He read the movement of the clouds and drove the car east, then west, and finally north. "Huh? Is it not raining around here?" Our spirits lifted instantly! We stopped by a heiau near the harbor and discovered a sparkling starry sky through a gap in the thick rain clouds! We were overwhelmed by the brightness, number, and depth of the night sky. Before we could even take photos, the heavy rain returned in an instant. Such weather is unique to the Big Island, isn't it?

Although we couldn't make it to the summit of Mauna Kea, Jin skillfully listened to everyone's plans and generously shared information about points of interest. He even took us to a great spot for whale watching that is easy to see during this season. I was impressed by Jin's guiding skills! Thank you very much. (For those prone to motion sickness, please take anti-nausea medication. The mountain roads are quite winding and bumpy.)

2/10、冬の嵐でマウナケアの天文台観測員も下山する悪天候。オニヅカセンターも終日氷点下で通行止めという日に当たってしまいましたが、「雲の穴を見つけて追いかけます。こうなったら超レアなウィンターストームのハワイを見て回りましょう」とガイドのJinさん。たびたび自動洗車機みたいな土砂降りに見舞われながらも、壮大なマウナケア山麓、幻想的な噴石丘たちを見渡す高台で次々と形を変えて流れる雨雲や、遠くから押し寄せる巨大な雷雲・稲光を見たり、うねる溶岩の上に現れた虹、名前通り白く雪化粧したマウナケアに加えて、普段は雪が降らないマウナロアがうっすら白く雪をまとっている姿などを目にすることができました。
こんな日だから星空はムリだよね・・・と納得ムードの車内で、1人だけ諦めてなかったのがガイドのJinさん。雲の動きを読み、クルマを東へ、西へ、ついには北へ。
あれ？この辺は雨やんでる？我々のテンションは一気にアップ！港のそばのヘイアウ脇で停まり、分厚い雨雲の隙間にキラキラの星空を発見！その輝きの強さ、数、夜空の深さに圧倒されました。写真を撮る間もなく、あっというまに土砂降り再来。こんな天候もハワイ島ならでは、ですよね。
マウナケア山頂には行けなかったけど、さりげなく全員の予定を聴いて気前よく見どころ情報を教えてくれたり、この時期に見やすいホエールウォッチングのポイントに寄ってくれたり、Jinさんのガイドとしての技量に感服！ありがとうございました。

It was a perfect sunset and starry sky! 完璧なサンセット&星空でした！

Reviewed by: クッキー

A few days before we participated, Mauna Kea experienced bad weather with snowfall and icy roads, resulting in the road to the summit being closed from a certain point, and it was also closed the day before. I was anxious about whether we would be able to reach the summit on the day of our tour, but to my surprise, it was beautifully clear, and we were able to enjoy the sunset at the summit. The starry sky was even more wonderful than I had imagined, and thanks to our bright and fun guides, Tomo and Ichikawa, we had a perfect tour. I truly felt lucky. I am sincerely grateful to our guides, who were always attentive to ensure that none of the participants suffered from altitude sickness while we all shared the awe of the magnificent and beautiful Mauna Kea and the sunset.

私たちが参加する４、５日前にマウナケア山は悪天候で積雪と道路の凍結、その結果山頂までの道路は途中から通行禁止になってしまい前日も通行禁止でした。当日は山頂まで行けるのか不安でしたが、驚くほど見事に晴れて山頂でのサンセットを堪能できました。星空も想像以上に素晴らしく、トモさんとイチカワさんという明るく楽しいガイドさんのおかげで完璧なツアーを楽しませていただきました。本当にラッキーでした。参加者が一人も高山病にならないよう終始気を遣いながらも、雄大で美しいマウナケアの姿とサンセットに共に感動していたガイドさんに心から感謝しています。

It was the best day! 最高の一日でした！

Reviewed by: マウナケア最高

I had always wanted to climb Mauna Kea when I visited the Big Island, but I had given up because the summit had been closed since July. However, I heard that the road to the summit reopened in December, so I signed up for this tour.

At the beginning of the tour, I was informed that the summit was closed due to bad weather for three consecutive days, and I arrived at the 2800m Onizuka Visitor Center while praying. There, we took a break to acclimatize to the altitude while eating our lunch. When we got back in the car and the guide told us that the gate was open and we could go to the summit, there was a cheer in the vehicle.

The road to the summit was steep and off-road, and I thought it would be impossible to go there in a rental car. Thanks to the guide's skilled driving, we safely reached the top.

It was quite windy at the summit, and even with the snow gear we borrowed, it was freezing cold. However, the view from there was indescribably beautiful, and I was really glad to see it.

After descending, the guide explained stargazing to us. I was happy to see the starry sky, the full moon, and even a comet.

On the way back to the hotel, the guide told us that a moonbow had appeared and stopped the car. It disappeared in an instant, but I was lucky enough to see the elusive moonbow, making it an incredibly lucky day.

If you plan to visit the Big Island, I definitely recommend joining a Mauna Kea tour. It became the best memory of this trip. Thank you very much!

ハワイ島に行ったら絶対マウナケアに登りたいと思っていましたが、7月から山頂閉鎖されていたため、諦めていました。しかし、12月から再び山頂への道が再開したと聞いて、このツアーに申し込みました。
ツアーの最初に、3日連続で天候不良のため、山頂閉鎖されていると聞いて、祈りながら、2800mのオニズカビジターセンターに到着しました。そこで、お弁当を食べながら、高山病に慣れるための休憩をしました。再び、車に乗り込んだ時、ゲートがオープンしているので、山頂まで行けるとガイドさんが教えてくれた時、車内で歓声が上がりました。
山頂までは、オフロードの急な道で、とてもレンタカーで行くことは出来ないと思いました。ガイドさんの熟練の運転で無事頂上に着きました。
頂上はかなり風が強く、貸していただいたスノーウェアを着ても凍えるくらい寒かったです。しかし、そこから見える景色は言葉に出来ないくらい美しく、この景色を見れて本当に良かったと思いました。
一旦下ってからは、ガイドさんから天体観測を説明してくれます。満天の星や満月、そして彗星を見ることが出来て良かったです。
また、ホテルに帰る途中にはガイドさんからムーンボウが出たと教えてくれて、車を止めてくれました。あっという間に消えてしまいましたが、幻のムーンボウまで見ることが出来て、今日はすごくラッキーな一日でした。
もし、ハワイ島に行く予定がある方は、絶対にマウナケアのツアーに参加したほうがいいと思います。この旅で一番の思い出になりました。本当にありがとうございました！

I am overwhelmed by the great nature of Hawaii Island! ハワイ島の大自然に圧倒されます！

Reviewed by: sato

Mauna Kea, which is taller than Mount Fuji, was an exciting first experience for me. I was worried that, depending on the weather conditions, we might not be able to reach the summit, but on the day of the tour, we were able to make it to the top. Watching the sunset from 4,200 meters was a transformative experience that left me deeply moved. During the stargazing, it felt like the entire sky was a treasure box of jewels. I’m really glad I participated, as I had never had the opportunity to see such nature and stars before. The guide was also very kind and easy to talk to. I plan to recommend this tour to my friends.

富士山より高いマウナケアは初めての体験だったのでワクワクしていました。天気の状況によっては、山頂まで行けない可能性があるとのことで心配していましたが、当日は山頂まで行くことができました。4,200mからのサンセットを見て、世界観が変わるくらいの体験ができ、すごく感動しました。また星空観測では、まるで空全体が宝石箱のようでした。あれだけの自然や星を見る機会がなかったので参加してよかったと思っています。ガイドの方も大変優しく話しやすかったです。友人にもこのツアーを紹介しようと思います。

The full moon was amazing! ❤︎ 満月が最高でした❤︎

Reviewed by: Kosuke

The kind tour guide took many wonderful photos with the sunset as the background. For stargazing, the tour was intentionally scheduled to coincide with the full moon at the summit of Mauna Kea. Unfortunately, we couldn't reach the summit due to strong winds, but I was very satisfied to see the full moon shining brightly near the visitor center at nearly 2800 meters. Although stargazing wasn't great because of the full moon, I was able to see definitely more stars and constellations than in Tokyo. Next time, I would like to join the same tour during the new moon to learn about constellations.

夕日をバックグラウンドにツアーガイドの優しいお兄さんが沢山の素敵な写真を丁寧に撮ってくれました。星空観測に関しては、あえて満月に合わせてマウナケア山頂に行けるようにツアーを組みました。残念ながら強風で山頂までは行けませんでしたが、2800m近くのビジターセンター近くで輝くほどの光を放つ満月を見れて大満足でした。満月によって星観測はイマイチでしたが、東京よりも断然、多くの星や星座を見れました。
次回は逆バージョンで新月に合わせて同じツアーに参加し、星座を学びに行きたいと思っています。

Reviewed by: Sora

I had a hard time finding a tour to the summit of Mauna Kea, but I’m so glad I participated in this one; it truly became a wonderful and unforgettable day. From the moment I was picked up, they carefully explained the day's conditions (weather and mountain situation), which made me feel very reassured from the start.

Since we traveled by bus, I had some concerns, but the guide was attentive to everyone, engaging in conversation and providing advice about our health, which allowed us to enjoy the experience safely and happily throughout.

Due to various reasons like weather and wind, it was uncertain until the last moment whether we could reach the summit or see the starry sky, but fortunately, we were able to see both beautifully, and it was breathtaking. I am truly very satisfied!

Next time, I want to visit the summit of Mauna Kea to see the summer night sky! Thank you for a fun time from start to finish.

マウナケア山頂に行けるツアーはなかなか無かったため、とても探しましたがこちらに参加して本当に素敵で忘れられない1日になりました。
お迎えに来てくださったところからその日の状況（天気や山の様子）などを丁寧に説明してくださり、初めからとても安心しました。
バスでの移動なのでいろいろと不安もありましたが、ガイドさんがみんなを気にかけて話していたり、体調についてもアドバイスをくださったり終始楽しく安全に過ごせました。
天候、風など様々な理由で山頂まで行けるか、星空を見ることができるかできないか、直前までわからなかったのですが、運良く二つともとっても綺麗に見れて感動しました。本当に大満足です！！
今度は夏の夜空、マウナケア山頂に行きたいと思います！
最初から最後まで楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

As the altitude increases, the cold intensifies, creating a world isolated from the lower realms.

The grandeur of snow-capped Mauna Kea, accompanied by an endless sea of clouds, was truly moving. (I never expected to see snow on the Big Island of Hawaii!)

When the tour ended and we returned to the town of Kona, it was once again reminiscent of the tropical atmosphere.

Make sure to seize the rare opportunity to drive to the summit of a 4,000-meter mountain!

If possible, aim for a new moon to enjoy the starry sky as well!

高度が上がる度に、寒さを増して下界と隔絶されていく世界。

どこまでも続く雲海を従えた雪化粧のマウナケアの雄大さには心を打たれるものがありました。

ツアーが終わってコナの街に戻ると、そこはまた以前の熱帯の面影が。

できれば新月で星空も狙ってください！

Since it was my first time on the Big Island, I definitely wanted to visit Mauna Kea. There had been a period when access to the summit was not allowed, and it had been closed for three consecutive days due to bad weather, but fortunately, I was able to reach the summit that day. They stopped along the way to take photos for us, and even at the summit, they took pictures despite the strong winds, providing excellent service.

As for stargazing, although there were fewer stars because the previous night was a full moon, there were still plenty to see, and I was thrilled to witness the moonrise and a mysterious comet. On the way back, I even caught a glimpse of a moonbow.

It was a long tour, but I was very satisfied with the experience.

初めてのハワイ島だったので、必ず行きたいと思っていたマウナケア。ずっと山頂には行けない時期があり、さらに3日連続で天候不良で閉山していたとのことでしたが、運良くこの日は山頂まで行くことが出来ました。途中下車して写真を撮ってくださったり、山頂でも強風のなか写真を撮ってくださり、至れり尽くせりでした。
星空観測も前日が満月だったこともあり、星は少ないとのことでしたが十分な量で、ムーンライズや不思議な彗星も見れたので、感動の連続でした。
帰る途中にはムーンボウ(月による虹)も僅かに見えました。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Honeymoon Highlight!

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

I wouldn't give this tour five stars...I give it as many stars as there are in the Mauna Kea sky! This tour was easily the highlight of our trip on the Big Island! We enjoyed every minute of it. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous, and to see it from such a high elevation was quite remarkable. I was glad that we had plenty of time before and after the sunset to walk around, take in the view, and get some good pictures.

The dinner was very good but if you don't like lasagna there's a microwave at VIS if you want to bring your own food.

The road to the summit is a bit bumpy, but that's to be expected since it's a volcano. So take motion sickness meds if you're prone to carsickness. And if you get cold easily, definitely bring layers! They provide parkas and gloves but you might also want to bring a hat or scarf and thick socks.

Throughout the tour, the guide provided a very entertaining and educational narrative. It's obvious that he's passionate about Mauna Kea and Hawaii. He's basically a walking encyclopedia of Hawaii and provided all kinds of interesting information about Mauna Kea's geology and history, and also talked about Hawaiian culture and why Mauna Kea is a sacred place. He also did an excellent job of guiding the stargazing and pointing out constellations, star clusters, and planets, most of which we got to see through a telescope. I think my favorite part of the stargazing was getting to see the Andromeda galaxy through the telescope.

If you're going to the Big Island, this tour is a must!

I had a wonderful time and highly recommend it.
The access to the summit may vary depending on the weather on the day, but we were lucky enough to reach the top and enjoy both the sunset and stargazing.
The sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea was particularly stunning, with a beautiful sunset appearing through a break in the clouds, reflecting off the surrounding clouds, creating a very magical scene.
My mother, who joined me, was also very happy, and I am grateful to have been able to show my appreciation to her.
Next time, I would like to visit again around the new moon.

最後は当日の天候によって山頂へのアクセスなどが変わってきますが、我々は運よく山頂までいくことができ、サンセットと星空鑑賞の双方を満喫することができました。
特にマウナケア山頂でのサンセットは、雲の切れ目から美しい夕陽が出現して、周りの雲に反射し、とても幻想的な光景でした。
一緒に参加した母親もとても喜んでおり、親孝行ができたと感謝しております。
次回は、新月の頃に再度お伺いしたいと思います。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Highlight of my Big Island trip. Must do!

Reviewed by: Michael

This Mauana Kea summit and stargazing tour was phenomenal. The first stop is at the visitor center around 9k feet elevation. Here you can look through a couple telescopes, walk through the museum, and you will be served your hot dinner (we had veggie lasagna and it was good). While you are here it is good to eat and drink alot of water so your body can acclimate to the higher altitudes ahead. Next stop is the summit up to almost 14k feet! The Vans they take up are heavy duty and they need to be because of the rocky road leading up the mountain. I would not reccomend taking a rental/personal vehicle up this mountain. The road is rocky, thin, and windy. The guides for this tour have been doing it for years and know the road well. On the way up the guides will give you some commentary about the mountain which is a cool little history lesson. At the top it is cold and the oxygen is thin, so be ready! They provide you with a winter coat and gloves but I recommend bringing your own hat. The views from the summit are outstanding. Watching the sun set from up there is really remarkable, and you can walk around to the 12 massive telescopes up there to take pictures. After the summit you will descend a couple thousand feet to the star gazing location. With no light pollution and at the high altitude it provides for the star gazing experience of a lifetime. I have never seen the sky lit up so brightly with constellations. The guides will break out a couple of heavy duty telescopes from the vans so you can get an even closer look. They will educate you about the constellations and give alot of really good information. Overall this is an impeccable tour and a must do if you are going to the Big Island!

On February 4th, my partner and I participated in the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour." During the journey, Mauna Kea was covered in clouds, and we were worried that we might not be able to see the sunset or the stars. However, since the summit is above the clouds, we were able to witness a stunning sea of clouds and a beautiful sunset. It was a truly magical moment.

Unfortunately, due to the bright moonlight, we couldn't observe as many stars as we had hoped, but thanks to our guide's clear explanations, we were able to see many constellations that we wouldn't normally see. If I have the opportunity to visit the Big Island again, I would definitely like to join this tour and experience a sky full of stars next time.

Since it was my first experience going to a high altitude, I was worried about getting altitude sickness, but with the guide's appropriate advice and consideration, both of us were able to enjoy the tour without any health issues. I highly recommend this tour for older adults as well.

2/4夫婦で「マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー」に参加しました。
道中マウナケアには雲がかかっており、もしかしたらサンセットも星空も見られないのでは⁉と不安になりましたが、山頂はその雲の上に位置するため、マウナケア山頂では素晴らしい雲海とそこに沈んでいく美しい夕日を見ることができました。とても幻想的な瞬間でした。
あいにく月明かりが明るかったため、期待していたほどの星空観測はできませんでしたが、ガイドさんの分かりやすい説明のおかげで普段見ることのできない星座をたくさん観測することができました。
またハワイ島に行く機会があれば、是非ともこのツアーに参加して、今度こそ満天の星空を体験してみたいと思います。
標高の高いところに行くのは初めての体験だったので、高山病にかかってしまうのではないかなど不安はありましたが、ガイドさんの適切なアドバイスと配慮により、2人とも体調を崩すことなく、最後まで楽しく過ごすことができました。年配の方にもおすすめします。

I once experienced altitude sickness while climbing a mountain, so I was a bit worried, but thanks to acclimatization, I was able to enjoy the sunset in perfect condition without any health issues.

The sunset above the clouds, with a blanket of snow in Hawaii, was truly beautiful and left me speechless with emotion. Watching the starry sky while receiving explanations made it even more enjoyable and sparked my imagination.

Above all, it was a magnificent starry sky. I was very satisfied with the tour, especially since I got to take many photos with the stars that I couldn't capture myself.

(I was quietly moved by the star-themed music selection in the car on the way back.) I would love to participate again in the summer. Thank you very much.

On February 1st, two women in their 60s participated in the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour." We were picked up at the hotel at 1 PM, and the weather was unstable that day. According to our guide, it was raining at the Onizuka Center, so we quickly had dinner at Mauna Kea Park. It was still just after 4 PM, and we weren't very hungry, but the Japanese-style bento and warm miso soup after several days were so delicious that we finished them quickly. We appreciated the thoughtful gesture of providing towels for everyone to sit on the park benches. As we drove up, feeling anxious about whether we would make it to the top, the rain stopped, and the sun peeked out, as if our prayers were answered. It turned out that the gate closed right after we passed through. We were lucky.

At the summit, there was a lot of snow, and the wind was very strong, but the view of the sea of clouds and the sunset from 4,200 meters felt like being in another world, making us forget the cold as we were captivated by the scenery. I heard that snow on Mauna Kea is only present at this time of year, which filled my heart with emotion. I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but by following the guide's instruction not to run, all 11 participants that day were in good spirits. The temperature dropped, and due to road freezing, unfortunately, we had to go down to 2,800 meters for stargazing. Even though I borrowed ski wear, my fingers were numb at 4,200 meters, but I didn't feel cold once we descended to 2,800 meters. We were shown Venus and a crescent moon through a telescope, and then Mr. Ichikawa gave a stargazing presentation. Using an excellent laser pointer that clearly indicated stars and constellations in all directions, he taught us in a very easy-to-understand and enjoyable way. I was amazed by Mr. Ichikawa's depth of knowledge about stars. I was delighted to see Orion's sword clearly, which is not often visible in Japan. I heard that the Southern Cross can also be seen at midnight. It was a very satisfying tour, and I’m really glad I participated. If you go to the Big Island, I highly recommend Mauna Kea.

2/1　６０代のおばさん２人で、「マウナケア山頂サンセットと星空ツアー」に参加しました。午後1時にホテルでピックアップ、不安定な空模様の日でした。オニヅカセンターは、雨が降っているとのガイドさんの話で、下のマウナケアパークで急きょ夕食を食べました。まだ４時過ぎで、おなかはあまりすいていませんでしたが、何日かぶりの日本食の幕の内弁当と、温かい味噌汁がとても美味しくて、ぺろっと食べてしまいました。公園のベンチのイスの上に敷くタオルまで、全員分用意してくださって、気づかいに感謝です。上まで行けるのだろうかと不安な気持ちを乗せて車が走っていると、祈りが通じたのか雨も上がり、太陽が顔を出してくれました。なんと、私達が通過したすぐ後にゲートクローズになったそうです。ラッキーでした。山頂は、雪がたくさんあり
風もとても強かったですが、４２００メートルからの雲海や夕日が沈んでいく景色は、別世界にいるようで、寒さも忘れて見入ってしまいました。雪のあるマウナケアは、いまの時期だけだと聞いて、胸がいっぱいになりました。高山病がちょっと心配でしたが、「走らないように」とのガイドさんの指示を守ったら、当日の参加者１１人全員元気でした。気温も下がり、路面凍結とのことで、残念ながら星空観察は２８００メートルまで下りて行いました。スキーウエアを借りていても、４２００メートルでは指がかじかんでいましたが、２８００メートルまで下がると寒さを感じませんでした。金星と半月を望遠鏡で見せていただき、そのあとは市川さんの星空解説会。遠くまではっきり示せる性能バツグンのレーザーポインターを使って、東西南北に見える星と星座をとてもわかりやすく、楽しく教えてくれました。市川さんの星の知識の深さにビックリでした。日本ではよく見えないオリオンの剣まではっきり見え、嬉しくなりました。夜中には、南十字星も見えるそうです。大満足のツアーです。参加できて本当に良かったです。ハワイ島に行ったら、絶対マウナケアおすすめです。

I participated in this tour on January 26, 2020. Although it was cloudy at the start, the clouds cleared at the summit, and we were blessed with good weather. The view from the highest point of my life, with the snowy mountains, blue sky, and sea of clouds, was amazing, and the sunset gradually sinking was the best. The stargazing afterward was also impressive, as it was only a few days past the new moon, allowing us to clearly see the Milky Way and satellites. I couldn't capture the night sky well with my own camera, but there was a service to download photos taken by the guide, which allowed me to feel moved again when I viewed them later.

Additionally, our guide, Tomo, helped us secure good spots by acting promptly and reminded participants to take deep breaths and move slowly, which allowed us to enjoy the experience without suffering from altitude sickness. The explanations included not only the scenery and stars but also various stories about life in Hawaii, making it a truly wonderful half-day experience. I look forward to visiting Hawaii again!

20年1月26日に本ツアーに参加しました。
出発時は雲がかかっていたものの、昇るにつれて山頂の雲は晴れ、良い天気に恵まれました。人生最高到達地点で見る景色は、雪山と青空と雲海のセットが素晴らしく、徐々に沈んで行く夕陽も最高でした。その後の星空観測も、新月から数日しか経っていなかった事も手伝い、天の川や人工衛星もくっきり見え、感動的でした。自分のカメラでは星空は上手く撮れませんでしたが、ガイドさんが撮影して下さった写真をダウンロード出来るサービスがあり、後日それを見る事で、改めて感動出来ました。
また、ガイドのトモさんが、早め早めの行動をする事で良い場所が取れたり、参加者には深呼吸やゆっくり動く事を何度も注意して下さったお陰で高山病になる事もなく楽しめました。説明も、景色や星の説明だけでなく、ハワイの生活についての色々な話しもして下さり、とても素晴らしい半日となりました。またハワイに行く時は宜しくお願いします！

This is one of the best horseback riding experiences my boyfriend and I have ever had! The instructions on how to get to the location were very well written out so it was a breeze to find! Our instructors were fantastic! They are the type of people who love what they do and are incredibly passionate and it shows! We were very excited, so it was great to have the energy matched! The ride was absolutely breathtaking! The high mountains that surround the area are a wonderful sight to take in, great for photo ops as well. All of the horses are well behaved and a joy to be around. When we find ourselves back in the area we will definitely be stopping by again. If you tend to get carsick, you may want to take some motion sickness medication before the drive down to the valley. Its quite bumpy but totally worth it!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour was amazing! ✨ マウナケア山頂サンセット&星空観測ツアー最高✨

Reviewed by: YOKO

The road to the summit of Mauna Kea suddenly opened at the end of last year, giving us another chance to visit the summit. We never know when it might close again, so don't miss this opportunity! I absolutely recommend it!

The summit still has snow. What you see in the foreground is snow, and beyond that is the sea of clouds. The sun sinking into the sea of clouds at sunset is an indescribable experience. I felt the vastness of the Earth and its vitality. The guide takes wonderful sunset photos for you.

And then there's stargazing at the base of the mountain. Here too, the guide takes fantastic photos with the starry sky as the backdrop. They even show you the moon through a telescope, and you can see the craters clearly✨

The conversation is enjoyable, and the guide's photography skills are excellent. This was my second time participating, and each time the satisfaction is 200%.

The summit of Mauna Kea is a special sacred place for the locals. I highly recommend it to everyone!!

マウナケア山頂までの道路が昨年末に突然Openし、また山頂へ行けるチャンスをいただけました。いつまたCloseされてしまうか分からないです。このチャンスを逃さないように！絶対おすすめします！

雪が残る山頂。手前に見えるのは雪で、その奥が雲海です。雲海に沈んでいく太陽と夕陽。言葉では言い現せない感動です。地球の大きさと生命力を感じました。ガイドさんが素晴らしい夕陽の写真を撮って下さいます

そして山麓での星空観測。ここでもまたガイドさんが星空をバックにステキな写真を撮って下さいます。望遠鏡で月も見せてくれ、クレーターまでハッキリクッキリ見えます✨

トークも楽しいですし、カメラ技術が素晴らしいガイドさんでした。2回目の参加でしたが、毎回満足感は200%です

マウナケア山頂は、現地の方にとって特別な聖霊な場所。是非皆さんにおすすめします！！

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

Enjoyed the Waipi'o Valley horseback riding tour! ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　満喫！

Reviewed by: YOKO

It was great to have a small group of seven participants. My husband, who doesn't speak English, said the English guide was easy to understand.

Crossing the river while looking at Waipi'o Valley and slowly riding on horseback through the great outdoors was the best!

Also, the bumpy and steep road from the meeting point to the horseback riding location felt like an attraction and was fun.

I highly recommend it!!

7名参加で、少人数で良かったです。英語が話せない主人も、分かりやすく伝わる英語ガイドだったと言っていました。

ワイピオ渓谷を見ながら川を渡ったり、大自然の中をゆっくりお馬さんの背に揺られながら進んで行くのは最高です！

また、集合場所から乗馬場所に4WDで向かう道中がデコボコ道の急な坂で、アトラクションのようで面白かったです。

是非おすすめします！！

ワイピオ渓谷 　乗馬ツアー　＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

Adventure experience in Hawaii ハワイでアドベンチャー体験

Reviewed by: 古希おっさん

The meeting place was easy to find with the navigation guidance. It wasn't too difficult to locate. When I arrived 15 minutes early, one group had already completed their check-in. After that, we gathered for a tour of 12 people. There were two Japanese, including my wife. We traveled by 4WD to Waipi'o Valley, but the path down to the valley from the viewpoint was steep and narrow. Although there was a fence on the valley side, there was a risk of a serious accident if the driving went wrong. The elderly man sitting behind the driver was holding his head while the driver explained things. It was a bit scary. Once we descended into the valley, the view of Hi'ilawe Falls and the canyon from the bottom was breathtaking. After about 30 minutes, we arrived at the location with the stables, and the horseback riding tour began. We received an English lecture on how to ride a horse, and each person was assigned a horse. The horse commands were given through the reins, but I managed to understand. Finally, the tour began. The horses were well-trained and moved in a line. My wife, who was riding for the first time, had some trouble when the horse stopped to drink water while crossing a river, but the staff assisted her. Riding through the greenery of the valley and along the stream was refreshing and an extraordinary experience. The horseback riding experience lasted about an hour. After getting off the horse, my knees hurt, but my wife said she felt fine. I had riding experience 50 years ago, but even beginners should have no problem riding. I highly recommend it.

集合場所は、ナビの案内で行けました。そんなに判りにくくはありません。集合時間１５分前に着いたら１組が受付を済ませていました。その後、集まり１２名のツアーでした。日本人は妻と２名。４駆でワイピオ渓谷まで移動しましたが、展望台から下の渓谷に降りる路は傾斜がきつく且つ路幅も狭く谷側にフェンスはあるものの、運転を間違えれば崖下へ落下の大事故になるリスクがあります。運転席後ろの席の年配おじさんは、後ろを見て解説する運転手に頭をかかえていました。少し怖いです。渓谷に降り、谷底から見るヒイラヴェ滝と渓谷は絶景です。約３０分で厩舎のある場所に到着し、乗馬ツアー開始です。馬の乗り方について英語でレクチャーがあり、１人１人に馬をあてがわれます。馬の指示は手綱で行いますが、なんとか判りました。いよいよツアーです。馬もよく調教されていて、連なって進みます。乗馬初めての妻は河を渡る時、馬が水を飲み始め止まって困っていましたが、スタッフのフォローでことなし。渓谷の緑と渓流の中を馬で連なって進むのは気持ちよく、非日常の体験でした。１時間ほどの乗馬体験です。馬から降りたら膝が痛かった。妻はなんともないと言ってました。私は５０年前に乗馬経験がありましたが、未経験者でも問題なく乗れるでしょう。おすすめです。

The sunset and starry sky were amazing! サンセット&星空☆最高でした！

Reviewed by: Kameちゃんず

On January 29, my spouse and I participated in the Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour. It was our first time on the Big Island, and Mauna Kea was a place we definitely wanted to visit. The tour started with a pickup at 1:45 PM from our accommodation at Kings Land! Our guide, Masa, was kind and explained everything thoroughly, which made us feel at ease during the tour. The warm miso soup and bento we had at the Onizuka Center were very delicious. The choice of music to prevent drowsiness during the altitude sickness measures was excellent! We were energized and had no drowsiness as we reached the summit! We were blessed with good weather, and the sunset from the top was incredibly romantic, allowing us to truly feel the grandeur of the Big Island! The starry sky, which felt like we could reach out and touch it, was beautiful and left us in awe. Masa's explanations about the stars opened up a world we had never known before, doubling our excitement! The photo service provided by our guide captured moments we couldn't have taken ourselves, and we got many shots in our desired poses. Downloading those photos brought us even more joy! This tour to Mauna Kea is highly recommended!

1/29 マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアーに夫婦で参加しました。初めてのハワイ島、マウナケアは是非行ってみたい場所でした。宿泊しているキングスランドへ13:45ピックアップでツアースタート！ガイドのマサさんは親切丁寧に説明してくれ不安なくツアーに参加できました。途中オニツカセンターでいただいた温かいお味噌汁とお弁当とても美味しくいただきました。その後の高山病対策にて眠気を防ぐ音楽のチョイスは最高！ノリノリで眠気一切なく頂上へ！お天気にも恵まれ、山頂からの夕日はとてもロマンチックでハワイ島の壮大さを実感！手を伸ばせば届きそうな星空も綺麗で感動の連続でした。マサさんの星の説明は今まで知らなかった世界へ知ることができ感動も2倍！ガイドさんが撮影してくれるフォトサービスは自分では撮れない写真ばかりで希望のポーズもいっぱい撮影してもらいダウンロードしてみて再度感動です！マウナケアへは一押しのツアーです！

The best tour that moves both adults and children. 大人でも子供でも感動する最高のツアー

Reviewed by: AYK

We participated as a couple on January 19th. Our guide, Jin, was very friendly and knowledgeable. After being picked up from the hotel, we took a break and had dinner around 4:00 PM at the foot of the mountain (outdoors). The weather was relatively nice, but it felt a bit cold at that point.

The road to the summit was not well maintained, and the car shook quite a bit. It’s better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. After arriving at the summit, we took photos while watching the sunset. I participated wearing Heattech, a T-shirt, a windbreaker, and long pants, and I borrowed a down jacket and pants, which made the temperature feel just right. However, my feet got quite cold. I only wore one pair of socks, and my toes started to hurt. I regretted not wearing two pairs of socks... (Having foot warmers would have been even better.)

Around 7 PM, we did some stargazing. The night sky was overwhelmingly beautiful compared to what I’ve seen in Japan. The explanations about the stars were very detailed, and even as adults, we were satisfied with the content. After that, we descended and were taken back to the hotel after 10 PM. It was a wonderful tour that allowed us to learn more about Hawaii.

1/19夫婦で参加しました。
アテンドしてくれる仁さんはとってもフレンドリーで物知りな素敵な方でした。
ホテルピックアップ後に休憩を挟み、１６：００頃に山の麓（屋外）での夕食を取りました。比較的良いお天気でしたがこの時点で少し寒さを感じました。
その後、山頂までの道は補装されておらずかなり車が揺れます。
酔い止めは飲んで行った方がベターです。
山頂に到着後はサンセットを見ながら撮影しました。
当方、ヒートテック・Tシャツ・ウィンドブレーカー・長ズボン１枚で参加し、ダウン・ズボンをお借りし体感温度は丁度良かったです。
しかし、足元がかなり冷えます。靴下１枚だけしか履いておらず指先が痛くなりました。靴下２枚履いてくれば良かった。。。と反省。（足元カイロがあれば尚よしと言った感じです）
そして１９時頃天体観測をしました。
日本で見る星空よりも圧倒的な綺麗さでした。
かなり詳しく星の説明をしてくださり、大人の私達でも満足できるような内容でした。
その後下山し２２時過ぎにホテルへ送っていただきました。
ハワイの事をより知れた素敵なツアーでした。

The best starry sky I’ve ever seen in a perfect environment! 最高の環境で見れた星空！

Reviewed by: あっき

From the hotel pickup, we took a break for altitude acclimatization twice, and everyone in the car was in perfect condition. The explanations about the Big Island during the journey included basic information as well as insights that only locals would know, which broadened our perspective for the rest of the itinerary and made it interesting. The lunch at the Onizuka Visitor Center was described as "normal taste for those coming from Japan," but I actually thought it was tastier than the bento I bought yesterday! The highlight was that there was almost no wind, and under the new moon, we got to see an incredibly bright starry sky that exceeded our expectations! If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would definitely want to join this tour once more.

ホテルのお迎えから、二回の高地順応を兼ねての休憩を入れてもらい、車中のメンバー全員が体調万全で行くことができました。
道中のハワイ島の説明も基本情報から、地元の方達しかしらない情報まで話してくださり、ツアー後の日程でも見る視点が広がり面白かったです。
オニツカビジターセンターでのお弁当も「日本からこられた方には普通～の味ですが・・・」と言われてましたが、逆に(昨日、購入したお弁当より美味しいなｗ)と思える味！
一番は風もほとんどなく、新月の中で、想像以上の明るい星空を見れて最高でした！またハワイ島に行くことがあれば、もう一度行きたいと思うツアーでした。

We participated as a couple.
From the hotel pickup, we took a break and headed to the Onizuka Center, where we had dinner and acclimatized as we made our way to the summit.
The sunset was wonderful, and we were able to take various photos.
During the stargazing, we could see many stars while listening to stories about the constellations.
The guide's explanations, various information, and the many photos taken made for a very satisfying tour.
It depends on the weather, but we heard that the summit can only be accessed until the end of February, so we were glad we could go.

The sunset was breathtaking, and the starry sky was perfect☆彡 It became the best memory!!! 感動のサンセット・満点の星空☆彡最高の思い出になりました！！！

Reviewed by: はしも

My first trip to the Big Island was with my husband, and since we rented a car, we initially thought about going on our own, but I'm so glad we chose a tour instead!!

There are many unpaved roads leading to the summit, making it dangerous for regular passenger cars (it seems the rental car insurance doesn't cover it...), and vehicle access is restricted, so the time to leisurely watch the starry sky is limited to the tour only.

So, we went on the tour with about 10 other people, and our guide, Tomo, was very entertaining and informative! We also had a great time with everyone else, making it a wonderful memory for us, who usually travel just the two of us!

At the summit, we were able to witness a breathtaking sunset, and after the sun went down, the sky was filled with an incredible number of stars!! The explanations about the stars were also very interesting, and I think I’ll start studying astronomy from now on!!

What I especially appreciated about this tour was that the photos taken with a professional DSLR camera are available for free download!!! They took beautiful pictures of the starry sky and sunset that you can't capture with an iPhone, in various locations! It became a great memory!

Also, they provide warm clothing, so it doesn't add to your luggage! The summit is very cold, and it was a relief to borrow a proper down jacket and pants!

I highly recommend this tour when visiting the Big Island!!!

初めてのハワイ島旅行は主人とレンタカーを借りていたので、当初は自分たちで行こうかと思っていたのですが、ツアーにして本当に良かったです！！

山頂までは舗装されていない道が多い為通常の乗用車では危険(レンタカーの保険に適用されないそう・・・)、かつ車両を規制されているそうで、星空をのんびり見る時間はツアーのみに限られているそうです。

そんなわけで約10名の皆様でツアーを回ったのですが、スタッフのともさんのお話はとても面白く情報量も豊か！そして一緒に回った皆様とも楽しく過ごせ、2人だけで旅行してきた私たちにとても素敵な思い出となりました！

山頂では感動のサンセットを見ることが出来、日が沈んでからは圧巻の満点の星空！！こちらも星の解説がとても面白く、これからは星を勉強してみようと思います！！

特にこのツアーでありがたかったのは、
本格的な一眼カメラで撮影して頂いた写真がなんと無料でダウンロードできる点！！！iPhone では撮れない素敵な星空や夕焼けの写真を、いろんなところで撮影してくれます！いい思い出になりました！

そして防寒具を貸して頂けるので荷物にならない！
山頂はとても寒く、本格的なダウンとパンツをお借りでき助かります！


ハワイ島に行く際には是非おすすめのツアーです！！！

It was a good experience. 良い経験になりました

Reviewed by: mika

I traveled for an hour and a half from Kona. It was my first time horseback riding, and I don't understand much English, but I chose this experience because I read that important points would be explained in Japanese as well.

The guide was friendly, and since we could bring our dog along, it was a comforting experience for our dog-loving family!

I wanted to feel the air of Waipi'o Valley, so the leisurely horseback riding time was the best. I thought it would have been even better if I had understood the explanations more clearly.

Some of the horses were a bit energetic, but it seemed like they assigned them based on the riders' experience levels.

コナから一時間半かけて行きました。
乗馬は初めて、英語もあまりわからないけど、他の方の体験談に重要なとこは日本語でも言ってくれると書いてあったので択びました。

ガイドさんはフレンドリーだし、わんちゃんも一緒に行くので犬好き我が家はそれも癒しでした！

ワイピオ渓谷の谷の空気を感じたかったのでゆったり乗馬しながらの時間は最高でした。
説明がわかったらもっと良かったかなと思いましたが。

馬によってはちょっと、元気な子もいましたが、慣れてる人に充てがわれてたので、経験度を見て選んでくれてるようです。

A long-awaited tour with my husband, who has extensive experience in astrophotography, during the new moon! We’re well-prepared for the cold. Thanks to the down jacket and gloves provided by Jin, I have no worries! The bento was traditional Japanese food, a nostalgic taste! The conversations in the car and the explanations about the starry sky were enjoyable and educational! The long journey was comfortable, and the views we experienced were beyond imagination—the blue hue of the Earth's shadow after the sunset, and the service of taking a two-shot against the starry sky created wonderful memories. I want to go see the summer Milky Way again! My dream came true, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Hawaii. I was introduced to a kind, energetic, and great travel experience.

天体写真歴の長い夫と新月の時期に、念願かなってのツアー！寒さ対策バッチリして行く。仁さんの用意してくれたダウンや、手袋で心配無用！お弁当も和食、懐かしい味！車中のお話も星空解説も愉快、勉強にもなる内容！長い行き帰りも、快適で、見た世界は、想像以上の絶景、夕日が沈んだあとの地球の影の青い色、星空バックのツーショットのサービス、素晴らしい思い出ありがたい。また、夏の天の川を見に行きたい❗夢がかなって、ハワイの良さを堪能しました。親切、元気、いい旅を紹介してもらいました。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but Mauna Kea was a distant place for me. It turned out to be the best experience.

The sunset from the summit was very romantic, and it made me appreciate the size of the Big Island again. The starry sky after sunset was also incredibly beautiful, and it was a series of moving moments. I was very grateful that they took photos with a high-performance camera, and I could download those pictures after returning home. I couldn't have taken them myself... If you're going to Mauna Kea, I highly recommend this tour!

　ハワイには何度も行っていますが、私には遠かったマウナケア。最高の体験となりました。
