A friend recommended that I go up to nearly 4,000 meters on Mauna Kea, so I found this tour and joined. I was looking forward to enjoying the starry sky as we drove there, but due to an unexpected wildfire, we could only climb partway and had to turn back. Although I couldn't see the stars at the summit, the guide was very thoughtful and stopped the car at various points so we could admire the night sky. We were also able to see a beautiful sunset. It was extremely cold, but the guide lent me a cozy warm jacket, which was a lifesaver! I hope to be able to see the stars at the summit next time...
友人から「マウナケア4000メートル近くまで行くのがお勧め」と言われ、このツアーを見つけて参加しました。星空を楽しみに車で向かいましたが、まさかの山火事で途中までしか登れずUターンすることに…。山頂で星空を見ることはできませんでしたが、ガイドさんもいろいろ考えてくれて途中途中で車を止めながら星空を眺めることができました。それにサンセットはきれいにみることができました。めちゃくちゃ寒かったですが、ガイドさんがモコモコの防寒着を貸してくれたので助かりました!次回は山頂で見られますように…

This was purchased as a birthday gift for my sister. She has always been fascinated by volcanoes and it's been her lifelong dream to come to the island and see the volcano for herself. She was incredibly excited to have this tour. However, the day before it was scheduled, she received a call and was told that there had been a mistake when recording her reservation and they no longer had room for her on her scheduled date. They offered to move her reservation to a different day or to schedule her for the same day as her initial reservation for instead for the Epic Circle Island Volcano Journey. She chose to keep her originally scheduled day and do the Epic Circle Island Volcano Journey.
The woman who called was very apologetic and kind, let's face it, humans make mistakes sometimes, we've all done it. They did their very best to make it right. In the end, my sister said her experience was incredible and she was glad there had been a little bit of a mix up, because she thought the tour she went on was better (granted, that is based purely on the description of the originally scheduled tour).
Her guide was knowledgeable and told all kinds of stories about Pele and the island and recounted the history of the volcano. The lava tube they visited was unique and interesting and fascinated her.
Overall, it was a huge win and even in spite of the little problem I would definitely book again!

I participated in the 2.5-hour course in the morning. The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time overlooking Maui. Along the way, I encountered wild pigs. My saddle loosened, and I fell off the horse, but that too is a good memory. There were 10 participants in total, including two Japanese families and a foreign mother and daughter, as well as a solo participant.

The tour to Mauna Kea summit was majestic, and we have to thank our tour guide/driver for that. Besides holding an astronomy degree and being very knowledgeable in answering our questions, he kept us amused about the stars we were watching through a telescope.

To acclimate to the high altitude, we took two breaks that included meals, and on the way to the summit, we could see Mauna Loa from the car window, which was breathtaking!
Once we reached the summit, we took a commemorative photo with the sunset in the background. Unfortunately, there were some clouds that day, so the sunset wasn't as impressive, but when we descended a bit to the stargazing point, the night sky was beautifully clear. The guide explained about the stars, and I was delighted to see my birth month constellation.
We also saw artificial satellites, shooting stars, and through a telescope, we were able to view Jupiter and its four moons. I felt secure as we had warm clothing, including a jacket, pants, and gloves. It was a fantastic experience!

My first time on the Big Island and my first nature tour started with a lot of uncertainty, but my worries quickly disappeared, and I was overwhelmed with emotion! As soon as we began climbing Mauna Kea, we encountered beautiful rainbows at three different spots. We took regular breaks to acclimate our bodies and had an early dinner. The miso soup was a blessing. Everyone wore highly effective cold-weather gear as we made our way to the summit. The air was thin, so we took deep, long breaths one at a time. The breathtaking sunset was truly overwhelming. After about an hour of waiting, excited by the increasing number of stars, I saw a multitude of stars I had never seen before, each twinkling felt so close. The telescope showed us the bands of Jupiter and four planets clearly! The lecture about constellations and the movement of stars was easy to understand and great. On the way back, I became so sleepy that I nearly fell asleep until we arrived, but they kindly dropped me off at the entrance of my accommodation, providing excellent service until the very end. Thanks to the attentive care from our two guides, this tour filled with first-time experiences became a fun and worry-free time that flew by.
初めてのハワイ島、初めてのネイチャーツアー、わからないことだらけで出発しましたが、もう心配なんてすぐに吹っ飛び、感動の連続!マウナケアに登り始めてすぐ、3か所で美しい虹に出会えました。休憩をこまめに取りながら、体を慣らして、早めの夕食。お味噌汁がありがたい。防寒効果の高いウエアを全員が身に着けて山頂へ。空気が薄いので、ひと呼吸ずつ深く長く。で、ゆっくりと沈む美しいサンセセットに圧倒的感動。少しずつ増える星の数にワクワクしながら待つこと1時間ほどで、見たことのない星の数、一つ一つの輝きがとても近くに感じる。望遠鏡で見せてくれた木星の筋と惑星4つまでくっきり!星座についてのレクチャー、星の動き、わかりやすくてよかった。帰りは我慢できないほど眠くなったので、到着までほぼ爆睡してしまいましたが、宿泊先の入り口まで送っていただき、最後の最後まで至れり尽くせり。ガイドのお二人、細やかにケアしていただいたおかげで、初めてづくしのツアーで安心して楽しいあっという間の時間になりました。

The reason for meeting on-site was that it overlapped with other options we considered. The navigation system we borrowed kept saying to turn left onto a narrow forest road after entering Waipio! It looked like a path overgrown with grass. Since I had gone another route before, I ignored it and went through the town to the valley. (On the way back, it also instructed a right turn onto a suspicious forest road.) After that, once we got closer to the valley, we followed the signs and turned right to reach Artworks. Please be careful not to be misled by the navigation. The reception starts at 9 AM, so if you arrive early, there won't be any staff around, just the shopkeepers. There is road construction on the way here, causing traffic jams, but in the afternoon, it might take 10 to 15 minutes longer than in the morning (the worst is in the evening). They mentioned the construction would last for two years. It's not too serious, so there's no need to rush.
The horses had various personalities, which was interesting. Sometimes the English was fast, making it hard to catch everything, but we managed. The explanations were natural, especially about the trees, but they weren't very detailed, so I wondered if it would be more enjoyable with a Japanese guide, as my daughter, who is nearly native-level, remarked. Along the way, we crossed a small stream and encountered wild horses, making for a relaxed horseback riding experience. There's no need to worry. Just keep in mind that since you'll be on the horse for a long time, those with weak hips might find it uncomfortable later. Also, the helmet we borrowed could really use some Febreze! (laughs) Since it's a nature-filled activity, it's understandable. (laughs) Bring only the bare essentials. Also, it's better to avoid wearing new sneakers. We enjoyed a recommended lunch on the way back, making good use of our time.
現地集合にした理由は他のオプションで立ち寄ったところとかぶってしまうのでこれにしました。うちでお借りしたナビがワイピオに入ってから狭い林道に左折と言うのです!どう見ても草ぼうぼうで道?と言う感じ。一度別のオプションで行ったことがあるので、無視して町の中を通って渓谷へ行きました。(帰りも怪しい林道へ右折と指示)あとは渓谷近くなってから標識に従い右折していくとアートワークスへ行けました。皆さんはナビに惑わされないように進んでください。受付は9時からですので前についても係りの人がおらず、お店の方だけでした。ここヘ行く途中道路工事で渋滞していますが、午前よりは午後が10から15分かかるときがあります(ひどいのは夕方ですが)。工事は2年と言っていました。あまり大したことがないのであせらないでくだいね。
馬もいろいろな性格があって面白かったです。英語がはやくて聞き取れないこともありましたが、なんとかなりました。説明は自然、とりわけ樹木とかですが大した説明でないので、日本語ガイドさんだったらもっと楽しいのかな。とネイティブ並みの娘が呟いておりました。途中小川を横断したり野生の馬に出会ったり、のんびりした感じの乗馬です。心配はいりません。ただ馬にまたがるので、股関節が弱い方は長い時間なのであとでお辛くなるかな。それから、お借りしたヘルメットがファブリーズしてー!と言いたくなるほど。(泣)自然満喫アクティビティなんだから仕方ないですね。(笑)荷物は本当に最小限に。また運動靴は新しいのは避けたほうがいいですね。帰りにお勧めランチをしながら帰りました。時間を有効に使えて楽しかったです。

I participated in May, and the weather was great, making it a lot of fun. The horses were a bit young and sometimes didn’t listen, but it wasn't a problem; if I pulled the reins a bit harder, they would respond. The puppies walking alongside the horses were adorable, and all the participants enjoyed themselves. Riding was fun too, but getting to the horses involved a steep slope, and we went down a cliff with four horses, which was thrilling.

They provide winter clothing, so you don't need to bring your own. After having a meal at the Onizuka Visitor Center, we took a four-wheel drive vehicle to the summit. I felt a bit unwell after running a little at the Onizuka Visitor Center, so it was tough for a while after reaching the top. Let's all try not to run.
The weather was clear on the day, and the views of the observatories from various countries, the sea of clouds, and the sunset were all amazing. For stargazing, they used a powerful laser pointer to explain the constellations, which made it easy to understand.
It's the best activity!
防寒用の衣類は貸してくれますので、持参しなくても大丈夫です。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで食事を摂ってから4輪駆動車で頂上まで上がります。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで少し走ってしまったため、頂上到着後、しばらく辛かったです。皆さん、走らないようにしましょう。

As we climbed higher into the sea of clouds, we truly felt the altitude of 4,200 meters. We all watched the sunset together, and then at a slightly lower point, we enjoyed stargazing. Unfortunately, since the moon was out, we couldn't see as many stars as we had hoped. With about 20 people (two cars) and only one telescope, it would have been nice to have at least one telescope for every ten people to enjoy it more leisurely. However, it was great to see both the Southern Cross and the Big Dipper at the same time!

The bento was delicious. I was so happy with the miso! As we got closer to the summit, I started to feel dizzy, but Ishikawa-san kept encouraging me to take deep breaths and exhale slowly, which helped me avoid altitude sickness.

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing were both amazing. The summit is cold and the air is thin, but they provide warm clothing, and the altitude acclimatization is thorough, so most people can participate without issues. My wife was mostly sleeping due to altitude sickness, though...
The stargazing experience was unique as we could see both the North Star and the Southern Cross at the same time. It was fortunate that the weather was good, and it also helped that it was a night without the moon. Depending on which constellations you want to see, the timing (dates) may vary, so it might be a good idea to consult in advance.
マウナケア山頂からのサンセットも、星空観測も最高でした。
山頂は寒く空気も薄いのですが防寒着を貸してくれますし、高度順応が丁寧なので大抵の方は問題無く参加できます。私の妻は高山病で寝てばかりいましたが。。。
星空は北極星と南十字星が同時に見られるという貴重な体験も。じきがよかったこともありますが、月が出ていない夜に当たったことも良かったそうです。どんな星座が見たいのかによって時期(日付)が違いますので、事前に相談したら良いのかも知れません。
Dear Mr. Ohashi,
Thank you very much for participating in the Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing tour with Nature School! We take extra time and care for altitude acclimatization, but at the summit of Mauna Kea, which is 4,205 meters high, it is said that lack of sleep and accumulated fatigue can make one more susceptible to altitude sickness.
We look forward to your return with your wife, healthy and ready to conquer the summit again! As you mentioned, the moon phase and timing are key points for stargazing. Please come back to the island to see your birth constellation!

The entire tour was in English, but I managed to get by by observing the people around me. I was a bit nervous because it was more expensive than I had imagined, but once it started, it was so much fun!
Regarding the itinerary, we started with the zip line. Since there wasn't much time to change, it's best to participate in swimwear or clothes that can get wet. We moved on to lunch without a break. Then we went trekking and cave exploring. We ended up waist-deep in water, but this wasn't mentioned by Veltra, so we couldn't go further and had to give up. After that, we headed to the waterfall. The water was cold, but the foreigners were swimming vigorously.
There are no places or time to change during this itinerary, so if you want to participate, I think it's best to prepare accordingly from your hotel.
全て英語でのツアーですが、周りの人たちを見ながらやればどうにかなりました。
想像していたよりも高くてビビりぎみでしたが始まってしまえば楽しくて楽しくて!
行程とは違う点
最初にジップラインでした。着替えるところ・時間がないので水着や濡れても良い格好で参加すると良いです。
休む間も無く移動してランチ。
トレッキング&洞窟探検。腰まで水に浸かってしまう、その案内がベルトラさんに記載がなかったので、奥まで行けず断念。
そのまま滝つぼに向かいます。
水は冷たくて、でも、外国のかたはガンガン泳いでました。
この行程ではどこにも着替えの場所や時間がないので、行きたい方はホテルからそれなりの

Ride up and back to the summit of Mauna Kea was bumpy at times and a little daunting but not nearly as difficult as some made it out to be. Elevation did not bother me.

I would like to come back at a different time to see the stars with Masashi Nature School. I’m going home tomorrow, but I’m glad to end with such lovely memories. Thank you very much.

The ride was awesome, the guides were energetic and super friendly, I felt so incredibly welcome, like family The scenery was GORGEOUS and the horses we're amazing!! I'd spend the money again in a heartbeat They matched all of us to horses according to our skill level, so that even I didn't feel like I was just on a pony ride (I've been on horseback many many times) We even got to see the resident heard of wild horses! Best afternoon spent in a LONG time

A bright and entertaining guide came to greet us and explained various things about Hawaii in a fun way, keeping us engaged from start to finish! The guide's storytelling was just hilarious. We enjoyed the magnificent views of the Big Island of Hawaii from the summit. We were lucky enough to see the best sunset. This was the week after Golden Week. During this time, both Oahu and the Big Island had great weather, with hardly any rain. However, for stargazing, it was a full moon, so we couldn't see many stars; I recommend going during a new moon instead. Also, the mountain path to the summit is steep, so it's best to bring motion sickness medication.
In the evening, the guide played some lovely music, making for a romantic day. It was truly wonderful. If you're visiting Oahu, I highly recommend staying on the Big Island for at least a day and participating in this tour. We had a honeymoon that became a lifelong memory.
明るく面白いガイドさんがお迎えに来てくれ、楽しくハワイの様々なことを説明してくれ、最初から最後まで飽きなかった!
とにかくガイドさんの喋りが面白い。笑
頂上まで雄大なハワイ島の景色を堪能できます。
私達は運良く最高のサンセットを見れました。GW明けの次の週です。この時期はオアフ島もハワイ島も天気が良く、雨がほぼ降らなかったです。ただ、星空観測は満月だったため、星がそこまで見れなかったので、新月の時に行くのがおすすめです。あと、山頂までは山道が険しいの
で、酔い止めは持っていった方が良いでしょう。
夜はガイドさんが素敵な曲をかけてくれ、ロマンチックな1日になりました。凄いよかったです。是非オアフ島行かれる方は1日でも良いのでハワイ島に宿泊し、ツアーに参加してみてください。私達は一生の思い出になるハネムーンを過ごせました。

I was a bit anxious about getting to the meeting place by rental car, but with Google Maps, it was fine. Some people arrived a little late, but we waited cheerfully while chatting with the guide and everyone else. Before the tour started, we enjoyed eating naturally grown bananas and macadamia nuts while chatting. I don't speak English particularly well, but the horses are smart, so I had no worries. The guide was also a bright and fun person, making it the best memory of my trip.
レンタカーで集合場所まで行くので少し不安でしたが、グーグルナビがあれば大丈夫。
少し遅れて来た方もいらっしゃいましたが、ガイドさんやみんなで和やかにお喋りしながら待ちました。
ツアー開始まで、自然になっているバナナやマカデミアナッツを食べて談笑。
私は英語は特別には出来ませんが、馬がお利口なので、心配無し。
ガイドさんも、明るく楽しい方で、旅行中一番の思い出になりました。

Would highly recommend!! The tour guides and horses were fantastic and you get to see all the landscape and beautiful views. Waterfall tours are great but this is a completely different scenery and we loved it!

When visiting the Big Island of Hawaii, you'll want to join a horseback riding tour. This time, my sister and her husband were visiting the Big Island for the first time, so I had them experience this tour that I repeat every time. (I couldn't participate due to a neck injury...) My sister and her husband were very satisfied and returned with excitement. They mentioned they would definitely do it again next time.

今回は、妹夫婦が初ハワイ島でしたので、毎回リピートしているこちらのツアーを体験してもらいました。(私は首を痛めていたため不参加で…)
妹夫婦も大満足。興奮した様子で戻ってきました。
また次回はリピするとのことです。

The day I participated, the weather was bad with rain and wind, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see the sunset or the starry sky. However, when we reached the summit, the rain stopped, the clouds cleared, and I was able to enjoy the sunset. The starry sky was beautiful, and it was a fun tour!
参加した日は雨風で天候が悪く、サンセットも星空も見えないのでは・・・と不安の中ツアーが進みましたが、山頂につくと雨がやみ、雲も流れていきサンセットを楽しめました。星空もきれいで楽しいツアーでした!

Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour.
There is a reason why we have one telescope shared between two vehicles. Each vehicle is filled with your warm clothing sets, bento boxes, drinks, and other items in the trunk. Therefore, we have arranged for the telescope to be shared between the two vehicles. We appreciate your understanding.
