Horseback riding was amazing. The scenery was also fantastic, and it was truly great.
However, both the Wi-Fi router and my phone lost signal, and I panicked because I couldn't load Google Maps to find the meeting point...
It's better to download it in advance.
Also, my daughter, even though she was wearing long pants, seemed to have been bitten by a tick or something, and she bled and swelled badly...
I recommend wearing sturdy jeans or something similar.
乗馬は最高でした。
景色も最高で本当に良かった。
でも、Wi-Fiルーターも携帯も圏外になり待ち合わせ場所まで、
Google MAPが読み込めず焦った。。。。
事前にダウンロードしておいた方が良い。

Since it was my first time on the Big Island, my husband and I decided to participate in the Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour! I was worried about altitude sickness since I had never climbed a high mountain before, but it was not a problem at all. The weather was fantastic that day, and both the sunset and stargazing from near the observatory were truly amazing, creating memories for a lifetime. If you're going to the Big Island, I highly recommend this tour.
初めてのハワイ島だったので、ぜひマウナケアのサンセットと星空観測に行きたいと思い夫婦二人で参加しました!
高い山には登ったことがないので、高山病を心配していたのですが、まったく問題ありませんでした。
当日はとても天気が良かったので、天文台付近から見たサンセットも星空観察も本当に素晴らしく、一生の思い出になりました。
ハワイ島に行くなら、このツアーをおすすめします。

We participated as a family of four. There were also two couples, making a total of eight people. I think we were on the horses for just under two hours.
Everything was in English, but the staff was very friendly and explained the history of Waipi'o Valley in a way that was easy to understand.
The weather was nice, and riding horses in nature was very relaxing.
While the service wasn't overly luxurious, they took family photos from various angles, and even when there were delays or the line got mixed up, we were guided smoothly without feeling rushed, allowing us to enjoy the scenery with peace of mind.
The kids were very satisfied, so we would like to participate again.
The cat in the stable was cute.
家族4人で参加しました。
他はカップル2組の合計8名でした。
馬に乗っていたのは二時間弱だと思います。
全て英語でしたが、とてもフレンドリーなスタッフでワイピオ渓谷の歴史などもとても分かりやすく説明してくれました。
天気が良かった事もあり、自然の中をのんびりと馬に乗りながらとても癒されました。
至れり尽くせりのサービスではありませんが、家族での写真も色々な角度で撮ってくれましたし、列が乱れたり、遅れたりしても急かされる事なく、上手く誘導してもらえたので、安心して風景を楽しめました。
子供達も大満足だったので、また参加したいと思います。

We were lucky as the weather was cool and cloudy, but did not rain. Our guides were terrific. We had our "safety" talks and felt very comfortable with the safety harness and double clips used. Our party had ziplined before in Colorado and Costa Rica, so we had comparisons. Our guides were entertaining, knowledgeable and very patient. We did see wildlife - a hawk and of course, the mongoose. We did not want it to end.

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

Hello, this is Sumire from Nature School. Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing tour. It was lucky that you were able to see Kilauea Volcano during the stargazing! The full moon viewed from the summit of Mauna Kea is very bright and beautiful, but it's unfortunate that you couldn't fully enjoy the starry sky. Please do come again when the moon's influence is less. The sunrise tour also has its own unique charm and is highly recommended.

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....
Highly recommended, especially if you live somewhere with so much haze and light pollution you don't get to see that stars that well!

The starry sky that changed the life of the tour guide truly lived up to its promise. The beautiful sunset, the star-filled sky, and the incredibly entertaining guide, Matsuchan, created wonderful memories.
The photos taken against the backdrop of the fantastical scenery of Kilauea Volcano's red glow reflecting on the clouds and the starry sky are treasures. Although the camera I brought was nothing special, they prepared a high-sensitivity camera there, so I was relieved to be able to take many photos.
I was also happy that the bento box served along the way tasted just like the ones I eat in Japan.
ツアーガイドの人生を変えたという星空、その言葉に偽りはありませんでした。きれいな夕日、満天の星空、面白すぎるガイドの松ちゃん。本当に良い思い出となりました。

I participated with my middle school daughter. Both of us lacked sufficient English skills, so there were many parts of the guide's explanations that we couldn't understand. They would answer our questions, but there wasn't much kindness or consideration shown. It was raining quite a bit, and it felt like we were just turning back on the same path, making the journey monotonous. The rain gear they provided was excellent, and we didn't get wet at all in the covered areas. I wonder if it would have felt nice if it had been sunny.
中学生の娘と参加。ふたりとも英語力が足りないので、ガイドの方の言っている説明が、理解できない部分が多くありました。質問すれば教えてくれるけど、あまり親切に心配りをしてくれるとか、配慮をしてくれるとかは、なかったかな。雨が結構ふっていたし、同じ道をUターンしている感じで、単調な道のり。かしてくれた雨具は、優秀で、隠れている部分は全然ぬれなかったです。晴れてたら、気持ちよかったのかなー。

I participated with my middle school daughter. Both of us were a bit tired on the fifth day in Hawaii. The weather was nice, and we could see the sunset, the moon, and the stars clearly. I regretted that we couldn't see the Milky Way because the moon was so bright. We could also see the glow of the Kilauea volcano faintly. The scenery of the Big Island along the way was beautiful, and the various guide explanations were interesting. Matt's chatter was enjoyable too. I wondered if he was okay talking so much in such thin oxygen. I appreciated his effort to entertain us. The down jacket and pants we borrowed were incredibly warm. The miso soup we had in the cold was very delicious!

Dear Ponta,
Thank you very much for participating in the Mauna Kea Sunset and Stars Tour with Nature School. The view from the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island is truly magnificent, having been selected as one of the world's scenic spots.
The stars visible vary by season, and in July, when you participated, you could see Hokule'a, the Big Dipper, the Summer Milky Way, Scorpius, and Cygnus. Personally, I love Scorpius and the Milky Way. If you visit a bit earlier, you can also see the Southern Cross. Additionally, during the limited season from December to March, you can see the Southern Cross on our Mauna Kea Summit Stars and Sunrise Tour.
The star observation at 3,700 meters during the Nature School Mauna Kea Sunset and Stars Tour is different from other companies.
We sincerely hope you will join our tours again next time.

The tour guide Herald was very nice, friendly and knowledgeble on native hawaiian's culture, ecology and astronomy. We got to see a "natural planetarium" in the mountain including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. Coming from a big city we don't see stars in the sky, so the view was just breath taking and we were soooo glad we participated in the tour. I guess you can go to the summit and see stars on your own but I'd strongly recommend this tour. Because I think it will give you a whole new experience and view on the island and their culture.
Dinner was tasty too. I was expecting a lot less.

This was our second time, but since it was my niece's first time on the Big Island, we participated. My sister, who is not good with heights, felt unwell, but our guides, Shin and Matsuzaki, were very kind and supportive. (She used oxygen a couple of times, but she said she really enjoyed it.) My niece, who was participating for the first time, was thrilled and felt it was great to join. Matsuzaki's storytelling was very enjoyable, and during the stargazing, we forgot about the cold and shortness of breath, laughing a lot while enjoying the stars. Next time, I would like to join another tour with a different Masashi Nature School.

I was a bit anxious about my English, so I requested a consent form in advance, filled it out, and brought it with me. We were the only Japanese participants, and the guide spoke entirely in English, but I understood the instructions, and even those who are not good at English can manage if they enjoy the activities. I also got along well with the other participants. After the tour, there was a photo sale, like at Disneyland attractions, and if there's one thing I regret now, it's not buying those photos.
英語に不安があったので、事前に同意書を送ってもらい、記入して持参しました。日本人は私たちのみ、ガイドもオール英語でしたが、指示はわかりましたし、英語が苦手な方もアクティビティが好きならどうにかなります。一緒に参加した方たちとも仲良くなりましたよ。ツアー終了後はディズニーランドのアトラクションのように写真販売もあって、今、後悔していることがあるとすれば、その写真を買わなかったことです。

Mauna Kea, where various astronomical telescopes from different countries, including the Subaru Telescope, are installed. Since it's quite rare to tour the interior of the Subaru Telescope, I booked this tour.
The vehicle, which can accommodate about 14 people, was full. To ensure everyone had a good view from the windows, the guide kindly arranged seat changes at each rest stop, making sure everyone was treated fairly.
After enjoying a lunch at the Onizuka Center on Mauna Kea, we ascended an unpaved road with a steep incline, and the scenery from there was like being on the moon, with a landscape entirely of brown soil, creating a different world.
The sunset viewed from the various observatories on Mauna Kea was truly magnificent. After the sunset, we descended a bit to stargaze. I was amazed by the countless stars, and under the stunning night sky, we learned about the Southern Cross and various other stars that cannot be seen in Japan. It was a truly wonderful experience. I was very satisfied with the tour.
スバル望遠鏡等の様々な国の天体望遠鏡が設置されているマウナケア山。なかなかスバル望遠鏡の内部見学はできないため、このツアーを予約しました。
14名程度が乗れる車は満席でした。窓からの景色が良く見えるようにと、ガイドさんが休憩場所ごとに席替えをし、皆さんが公平になるように配慮してくださいました。
マウナケア山のオニヅカセンターでお弁当を頂いた後、急勾配の舗装されていない道を上っていくのですが、そこから見える景色はまるで月にいるような茶色の土一色で、別世界でした。
マウナケア山の各国の天文台付近から見たサンセットは本当に素晴らしかったです。
また、サンセットの後、少し下った場所で星空を見学しました。こんなに星があったのか、と驚くほどの満天の星空の下、日本では見ることのできない南十字星や様々な星の解説をしてくださり、とても素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。大満足のツアーでした。
Dear Nakki,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Sunset and Stargazing Tour.
The internal tour of Subaru is only available when we can provide one vehicle on the designated public access day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
We were fortunate to have great weather on the day of your tour, and we are all very happy that you were able to enjoy a wonderful sunset and the starry sky.
Thanks to your support, our sunset tours are almost fully booked throughout the year. All of our guides strive to ensure fairness among our guests by pre-arranging seating and occasionally changing seats, paying attention to every detail to ensure your satisfaction.
The starry sky at Mauna Kea is truly astonishing, isn't it? Guided stargazing is always exciting to hear about! We hope you will join us again for a Nature School tour when you visit the Big Island.
We sincerely look forward to your return to the island.

Unfortunately, it was raining down below, and when we had an early dinner, we ate our bento in the drizzle, but the teriyaki chicken and the miso soup we were given were very delicious. When we reached the summit, the wind was very strong, and the warm clothing we borrowed was very helpful.
During the stargazing, what impressed me the most was seeing the Ocean Entry glowing red. The Southern Cross was also clearly visible. It's a shame that we couldn't see many stars due to the weather, but I was thrilled just to witness the beautiful sunset. Thank you very much. Later, when I took a helicopter tour over Kīlauea Volcano, seeing the incredible steam rising from Ocean Entry made me feel even more moved, realizing that I had seen this from Mauna Kea. I appreciate the guide from Okinawa. It was a lot of fun.
下界は生憎雨が降っていて、早めの夕食取るときは霧雨の中お弁当食べましたが、照り焼きチキンと入れていただいた味噌汁がとてもおいしかったです。山頂に登るととても風が強く、貸していただいた防寒着がとても役立ちました。
星空観察時に何と言ってもオーシャンエントリーが赤く見えたことが印象的でした。南十字星もはっきり見えました。天候のせいで星がたくさん見れなかったことが残念ですが、美しいサンセット見れただけで感激です。ありがとうございました。後日ヘリツアーでキラウエア火山の上空見たときにオーシャンエントリーの立ち上るものすごい水蒸気みて、マウナケア山からこれが見れたんだなーと感激ひとしおでした。沖縄出身のガイドさんお世話になりました。楽しかったです。
Dear Kaoringo,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. Around June 2018, you were able to witness the eruption of Kilauea from Mauna Kea, which I believe provided you with a timely and precious view.
While stargazing can be affected by the weather, we hope that next time you will be able to enjoy the starry sky of the Big Island. Please do come back to visit the Big Island again.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your return.

The weather can be unpredictable, but we were lucky enough to see a beautiful sunset and the Milky Way at the right time. We were able to take plenty of photos, which we received for free. The volcanic eruption added to the experience, making it truly wonderful.
天候に左右されますが、タイミングよく綺麗なサンセット、天の川を見ることが出来ました。
写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえました、無料で貰えます。
火山の噴火もかさなり、素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
Dear Akirin,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. The photos taken by our guide have received great acclaim. The pictures of the sunset and the Milky Way that you experienced will be cherished memories for a lifetime.
As you mentioned, the summer of 2018 was a unique time to visit, especially after the eruption, allowing you to see the lava from Fisher 8. It was indeed a very valuable tour. Amidst the many reports in Japan, we are truly delighted that you chose to trust the words shared by the Hawaii Tourism Authority and our company and decided to visit the Big Island.
We hope you will come back to the Big Island again. All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

The sunset near the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing a little lower down were incredibly beautiful and moving.
I heard that the stars are more visible when the moon is not out, but when we participated, the moon was present. However, we enjoyed observing the moon through a telescope, so it was still a great experience.
Additionally, our guide shared insights that only someone living on the Big Island would know, which was helpful for our trip. 😊
マウナケア頂上付近からの夕日と、そこから少し下った場所での星空観察はとても綺麗で感動しました。
星空は月が出ない方が空が暗くて星が綺麗に見えるとのことでしたが、私たちが参加した時は月が出てました。ただ、それはそれで月を望遠鏡で観察させてもらうなど楽しめました。
また、ガイドさんがハワイ島に暮らしているからこそわかるような情報を教えてくれたりして、それも旅行の役に立ちました(^^)

You can experience both summer and winter temperatures at the same time. At 2800m on Onizuka, from around 16:30 for about an hour, we will have a bento while acclimatizing to the altitude (you might not want to expect much in terms of taste... but if you don't eat, you'll be hungry on the way back. I managed to eat it). However, it gets suddenly cold as soon as you get out of the car. They will lend you down jackets, but you will need to put on your outerwear just before reaching the summit, so I recommend preparing some of your own gear. By the way, I wore a T-shirt, a hoodie, a certain company's ultra-light down jacket, a block tech parka, a knit cap, and gloves, and I was able to enjoy both the sunset and stargazing without freezing. We were blessed with clear weather and saw many shooting stars, which was great.
真夏の気温と真冬の気温を一度に体験出来ます。2800mのオニヅカで16:30過ぎから1時間程、高度順応兼ねてお弁当をいただきます(味は期待しない方が良いかも…でも食べておかないと帰りにお腹が空いてしまいます。頑張って食べました)が、車を降りたらいきなり寒いです。ダウン上下を貸していただけますが、上着着用は頂上に登る直前ですのである程度ご自身で用意して行く事をお勧めします。ちなみに自分はTシャツ、パーカー、某社ウルトラライトダウン、同ブロックテックパーカー、ニット帽、手袋を着用で最後まで凍えること事なく、サンセット、星空観測共に楽しめました。晴天に恵まれ、流れ星もたくさん見れて良かったです。

On June 7th, I participated in the Mauna Kea summit tour with a friend. Our guide was Matsuzaki-san (I'll refer to him as Mats-chan). Mats-chan is funny. He was a big hit. (Well, I don’t know any other guides, but still!) He started with his self-introduction, and the entire tour was filled with puns and jokes. Since we were climbing to a high altitude in a short time, it seems that if you sleep, your body can't keep up... To keep the guests awake (or maybe he just can't help but talk when he thinks of something? (laugh)), he kept chatting and making us laugh. At the photo spots, he used his experience to take amazing pictures for us. You could really feel his enthusiasm to entertain the guests; he is truly a passionate and great guide. Did Mats-chan's spirit reach the heavens? The sky, which looked a bit suspicious, cleared up enough for us to see the sunset, and we were able to enjoy the starry sky as well.
Since Kilauea volcano was active, we even got to see the lava in the darkness of the night. I believe that the improvement in the weather was Mats-chan's psychic power (laugh).
I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but I only experienced some tingling in my hands while descending. I'm really glad I participated. The summit is seriously cold, so I highly recommend this tour, which provides warm clothing for both the top and bottom (they say this is the only tour that offers bottom wear as well... am I promoting them? (laugh)). I'm not promoting them, though.
Oh, and I would have been happier if the bento was a little more delicious (bitter laugh). I had a great experience. Mahalo.
6月7日、友人と二人でマウナケア山頂ツアーに参加させて貰いました。
ガイドは松崎さん(以下、松ちゃんとさせて頂きます^^)。
松ちゃん、面白いです。大当たりでした。(いや、他のガイドさんを知ってるわけでもなんでも無いのですが^^;)ご自分の自己紹介から始まって、沿道周辺ガイドの全てが駄洒落とギャグのオンパレードでして( ´∀` )。標高の高いところまで短時間で登るため、眠ると体が追い付かないらしく…ゲストを眠らせない為(いや。単に思いついたら言わずにいられないのかも?(笑))にずぅっとしゃべり続け、笑わせてくれました。そして撮影スポットでは、これまでの経験を駆使して素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれるのです。私達ゲストを楽しませようという心意気がひしひしと伝わって来るような、ホントに熱い良いガイドさんです。そんな松ちゃんの心意気が天にも通じたのか?ちょっぴり怪しめの空だったのが、ちゃんと夕日を拝むことが出来、星空もきっちり見せて頂けました。
折しもキラウエア火山が活動中だったので、夜の暗闇で遠くその溶岩まで見る事まで出来てしまいました。きっとあの天気の回復は松ちゃんの念力だったのだと思います(笑)。
高山病とか少しビビッていたのですが、下って来る際の手先のしびれだけで済みました。参加してホントに良かったと思います。そして山頂はマジで寒いので、上下の防寒ウエアを貸し出して下さるこのツアー(ボトムまで貸し出してくれるのは、ここだけなんだそうです・・・って、回し者か?(笑))とてもお勧めです。回し者じゃないです^^。
あ、あとはお弁当がもう少しだけ美味しいと嬉しかったかな(苦笑)いい経験をさせて頂きました。Mahalo

My first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii was highly anticipated, especially since the tour of Kilauea Volcano was canceled due to the eruption. I was really looking forward to the starry sky from Mauna Kea.
Since we left the hotel before 4 PM, I was able to explore the town of Kona during the day. I'm glad I could make good use of my limited schedule.
Climbing to over 4,000 meters was thrilling, but we quickly reached the summit in a 4WD vehicle. The lunch we had at the Onizuka Visitor Center was just like a Japanese bento, which was comforting. (laughs)
We were blessed with good weather, and we were able to see both the sunset and the starry sky under great conditions! I think it was my first time seeing the Southern Cross.
Additionally, not only the starry sky but also the sight of Kilauea Volcano's eruption glowing red in the darkness was moving. It was lucky that we couldn't get close due to traffic restrictions around the volcano. This might be a unique landscape that can only be seen now.
The tour guide, Tyler, was attentive to the participants throughout the tour, which was nice. I definitely want to use this service again.
初のハワイ島旅行、楽しみにしていたキラウエア火山が噴火影響でツアー中止になった事もあり、マウナケアからの星空に思いっきり期待しての参加です。
ホテルを16時前に出発だったこともあり、日中はコナの街を観光。限られた
日程をうまく使えて嬉しいですね。
4000m超の山という事もありドキドキでしたが4WD車で一気に山頂へ到着。
途中立ち寄ったオニヅカ・ビジターセンターでのお弁当も、日本のお弁当その物で少しホッと出来ました。(笑)
天気にも恵まれ、サンセットも星空も良い条件で見ることが出来ました!
南十字星を見たのはたぶん初めてです。
また、星空だけでなく、キラウエア火山の噴火の様子が暗闇に赤く浮かび上がっていてこちらも感動。火山周辺は交通規制で近づけなかったのでラッキー
でした。今だからこその風景なのかもです。
ツアーガイド(タイラさん)も、ツアー参加者に常に気を配っていて感じが
良かったです。また是非ご利用したいと思います。

Since it's well-trained, just riding is enough. Two and a half hours is just right—not too short and not too long. The reins are held with one hand, unlike in Japan. (Using both hands when changing direction is smoother.) You can take photos freely. (It might be safer to have a strap attached in case you drop your phone.) Jumpers and boots are available for free rental, but you might not need them if the weather is good.
よく調教されてるので騎乗してるだけでいい。
2時間半だと短すぎず長すぎず丁度良い。
手綱は日本と違い片手持ち。
(向きを変えるときは両手スタイルのがスムーズ)
写メは各自自由にできます。
(落としたらまずいのでヒモ付きだと安心かも)
ジャンパー、ブーツは無料レンタルできますが天候が良ければ必要ないかも

We have set aside time for altitude acclimatization during our tour, so very few people experience altitude sickness. However, we keep oxygen tanks on hand just in case, so you can join us with peace of mind.
We are very pleased that the tour met your expectations.
Please come visit the Big Island again.
