My main purpose for going to the Big Island was to see the starry sky. I was fortunate with the weather and was able to enjoy the best sunset and starry sky. I am grateful to Taira and Matsuzaki for their assistance. They took many photos for me and even helped set up my DSLR camera. Thank you very much.

ハワイ島に行った一番の目的が星空を見る事でした。天候にも恵まれて最高のサンセットと星空を見る事ができました。担当してくれたタイラさん、マツザキさんに感謝です。たくさん写真を撮ってくれて、自分の一眼レフカメラの設定もしてくれました。ありがとうございました。

The reason I decided on the Big Island was this tour. It exceeded my expectations, and I am very satisfied! They took my concerns about the cold and altitude sickness into consideration, so I was relieved to participate without any health issues. I was able to see the sunset and the starry sky under perfect conditions, and I was thrilled that they even took photos for us. The explanations about the stars were also enjoyable! I definitely want to use this service again.

ハワイ島に決めたきっかけがこのツアーでした。期待していた以上で大満足です！！
心配だった寒さや高山病のことも配慮して下さり、体調不良なく参加できて安心でした。
サンセットも満点の星空もすごく良い条件で見ることができて、写真まで撮って下さったので感激です(^^)
星の説明もあるので楽しかったです！！

The sunset, starry sky, and moon viewed from Mauna Kea... マウナケアから見る夕陽、星空、そして月．．．

Reviewed by: Mahana　Hiroko

In 2018, it seemed like the weather was unpredictable, and I was worried about whether I would be able to see the sunset and starry sky.

At 15:35, we were picked up from the hotel, and according to our cheerful guide, Kon, the previous day had bad weather, but the area near the summit of Mauna Kea above the cloud sea had clear blue skies. Lucky!!!

We were able to see a beautiful sunset! Our guide, Kon, took several wonderful photos of us, a group of eight, along with a newlywed couple, with the sunset in the background. Everyone was having a great time posing for pictures.

After that, we moved to a different location for stargazing. Since it was quite windy, they made a windbreak with the car, which was thoughtful. Good job! The day we participated was about two days after the full moon, so the moon rose a little later, allowing us to see the starry sky. We could also see the Southern Cross. Additionally, we were able to see the sky glowing red from the distant eruption of Kilauea. It was a unique experience.

And then the moon rose. It felt like it was the brightest moon I had ever seen. To enjoy stargazing, it’s best to avoid the full moon. It would be wise to check the moon phases before making a reservation.

Of course, taking photos with the starry sky in the background requires a good camera; otherwise, the stars won’t show up. Kon shared his wonderful knowledge about the stars and explained everything in a fun way while using a pointer. The guiding beyond just the starry sky was also excellent.

Whether you can enjoy an activity tour largely depends on the guide. In my personal opinion, Kon was really great.

Since all the participants were from the same hotel, we were able to return to the hotel earlier than expected. I think we arrived around 22:45.

On the day we participated, it was quite windy near the summit, but the temperature was higher than usual, so I was fine with just a trainer and a light down jacket from Uniqlo, along with the jacket and pants borrowed from the tour company. I did use a portable hand warmer just in case. (The portable hand warmer needs to be taken out of the bag below to warm up, as Kon advised.)

I think I got a bit too excited at the summit, as I had a slight headache on the way back. (It didn’t get too bad.) I realized that it can happen on the way back too.

I thoroughly enjoyed the nature of the Big Island. I highly recommend this tour. Next time, I plan to go see the sunrise.

It was a very good experience. Thank you, guide Kon!

2018年今年は、天候が不順のようで、夕陽と星空が見られるか心配しながらの参加でした。
15：35ホテルピックアップ、明るいガイドのコンちゃんの話によると、前日は悪天候だったとのことでしたが、雲海の上のマウナケア山頂付近はクリアな青空でした。ラッキー！！！

きれいな夕陽をみることができました！ガイドのコンちゃんは、夕陽をバックに友人と二人参加の私達、8人グループ、新婚さんと、それぞれの素敵な写真を何枚も撮ってくれました。みんな大はしゃぎでポーズをとってました。
その後、場所を移動して星空観察。風が強かったので、車で風よけを作ってくれる配慮。Good Job!　参加した日が満月の翌々日くらいで、月が昇る時間が少し遅くなっていたので、星空を見ることができました。南十字星も見えました。そして、遠くにキラウエアの噴火で赤く染まる空を見ることもできました。今ならではですね。
そして、月が昇るのも。こんなに明るい月は、初めてのような気がします。
星空をみるには、満月を避けたいですね。事前に月の満ち欠けを調べてから、申し込みをした方が良いですね。
もちろん、星空をバックに写真撮影、好感度のカメラでないと星は写りませんね。
コンちゃんは、星空の素晴らしい知識で、ポインターを使いながら楽しく説明をしてくれました。星空以外のガイドもすごく良かったです。
アクティビティツアーを楽しめるかは、ガイドさんによるところが大きいです。私の個人的な意見ですが．．．コンちゃんは、すごく良かったです。
今回の参加メンバーは、全員が同じホテルだったこともあり、ホテルに戻るのが思っていたより早く帰ることができました。
22：45くらいには、着いていたと思います。

私たちが参加した日は、頂上付近は風が強かったですが、気温はいつもより高かったので、トレナーとユニクロのライトダウンに、ツアー会社で借りた上着とズボンで大丈夫でした。一応、携帯カイロは使いました。（携帯カイロは、下で袋から出さないと温かくならないそうです。コンちゃんアドバイスあり）
私は、頂上ではしゃぎ過ぎたせいか、帰路で少し頭が痛くなりました。（ひどくはなりませんでした）帰りでもあるんだなと思いました。

ハワイ島の自然を満喫できました。お薦めツアーです。次回は、日の出を見に行こうと思います。
とても良い経験が、できました。
ガイドのコンちゃん、ありがとうございました！

A bright red sunset and a starry sky! 真っ赤なサンセットと満点の星空！

Reviewed by: I.S

Last May, I participated in the Sunrise stargazing tour and had such a great time that this time, I joined the Sunset & Stargazing tour for my honeymoon trip. This year, I was worried because the weather on the ground was not very clear, possibly due to the effects of the Kilauea volcano a month ago, but the area near the summit was a completely different world! The sunset was perfect, with the sunlight reflecting off the clouds, creating a bright red sky. During the stargazing, as time went on, the sky filled with countless stars! The guide was very unique and fun, making the experience very enjoyable! By the way, it’s a good idea to check the moonrise time when choosing between sunset or sunrise for stargazing.

I hope to participate again next time. Thank you!

昨年5月にサンライズの星空観測ツアーに参加してとても良かったので、今回はハネムーン旅行でこちらのサンセット&星空観測ツアーに参加しました。
今年は1ヶ月前のキラウエア火山の影響もあってか、地上はあまり晴れやかな天気が少なく心配してましたが、山頂付近は全くの別世界！サンセットは雲に丁度良く太陽の光が反射して真っ赤な空が見れました。星空観測では、時間が経つにつれて出て来る出て来る満点の星空！
ガイドさんもとても個性的で楽しく、明るくとても楽しむ事が出来ました！
因みに…星空観測の際は、月の出る時間を調べてサンセットかサンライズを選ぶと良いそうですよ★

また次回、参加したいなと思います。
ありがとうございました！

Once in a lifetime 一生に一度は

Reviewed by: yumitan

I was worried about the weather being cloudy on the day and whether we would be able to observe the stars, but after arriving at the Onizuka Center, the clouds cleared, and we were able to see the sunset and Maui Island. As it got dark, the main stargazing experience was the best memory, something I can't experience in Japan. The outflow from Kilauea Volcano to the sea was also clearly visible. I brought my digital SLR and tripod, so I was able to take many photos of the stars (which can't be captured with a smartphone camera or digital camera). The driver will take some photos for you, so it's okay if you don't have a DSLR. I participated this time with my daughter, but next time I will join with my husband.

当日の天気は曇っていて星空観察ができるか心配しておりましたが、オニズカセンターに着きしばらくすると雲も流れ去り、サンセットもマウイ島も見る事ができました。暗くなりメインの星空観察は日本では体験できない位、最高の思い出です。キラウエア火山からの海への流出もはっきりと見えました。私はデジタル一眼レフと三脚持参でしたので、沢山の星を撮ることが、出来ました。（スマホのカメラやデジタルカメラでは撮影できないので。)
ドライバーさんが何枚かは撮影してくれますので、一眼レフ、お持ちでない方OKですよ。
今回は娘と参加しましたが、次回は主人と参加します。

Somehow, the sunset! 何とかサンセットだけは！

Reviewed by: かわうそ姉さん

Since it was almost a full moon and cloudy, I didn't have high expectations for the starry sky (laughs). Our tour guide, JIN, was very knowledgeable and provided explanations that I hadn't heard on other tours, which was very educational. I also appreciated how much he respected the Japanese community, which came through in his conversation. (After returning home, I reflected on their achievements as well.)

At the actual summit of Mauna Kea, both my husband and I experienced symptoms of altitude sickness, which was unexpected (but don't worry, it wasn't severe!). I realized we shouldn't underestimate it (though we got used to it quickly—maybe it's due to our age). My husband was thrilled to finally visit the location of the National Astronomical Observatory and the Subaru Telescope, which he had always admired. The sunset was incredibly beautiful with the contrast of the clouds and the sunset, making it the highlight of our trip.

Although the stargazing didn't turn out as hoped, we were able to take photos with the volcano thanks to JIN's photography skills. As expected! I would love to visit again during a new moon when the volcanic activity has calmed down.

ほぼ満月ということ、曇っていたので星空は元々期待せずに参加（笑）。
ツアーガイドのJINさんは博学で、前日別ツアーにはない説明もしてくださり、
とても勉強になりました。また日系の方々をとてもリスペクトされていることが、話から伝わってきて好感が持てました。（帰国後彼らの功績を私も振り返ってみました）
実際のマウナケア山頂は思いのほか高山病？的な症状に夫婦揃って罹り（でも
重症ではないですのでご安心を！）侮ってはいけないと思いました（でも、すぐに慣れました・年齢のせいかしら）。
主人はずっと憧れていた国立天文台・すばる望遠鏡の場所に来れたことに感動していました。サンセットは雲と夕日のコントラストでとても美しく、今回の旅での一番の記念になりました。
星空観測は残念な結果となりましたが、JINさんの撮影で火山と一緒に撮影することができました。さすが！
今度は、新月で火山噴火が落ち着いたころにまた訪れたいです。

You can see Kilauea! キラウエアが見えるとは！

Reviewed by: また新月狙って来ねば！

I learned a lot of things I didn't know thanks to our guide, Jin's, knowledgeable explanations. The high-altitude clouds and the brightness of the moon made it difficult to see the stars, but I felt that if I climbed a mountain in Japan, I would be able to see a more starry sky. However, we did get to take commemorative photos with the red glow of the lava from Kilauea, which is 100 km away, falling into the sea in the background. The impact is different with a professional camera.

ガイドの仁さんの博学な説明で、知らなかったことを沢山学びました。高層雲がかかったのと、月が明るすぎて星の見え方は今ひとつ、日本でも山に登ればもっと満天の星空が見えるという感じでした。でも、100kmも離れたキラウエアの熔岩が海に落ちる所が赤く光っているのをバックに記念撮影して頂きました。プロのカメラだと迫力が違いますね。

Southern Cross and Haleakalā 南十字星とハレアカラ

Reviewed by: Ｋ．ＫＥＩ

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and we could see the summit of Mauna Kea from the hotel in the morning. I was worried when clouds appeared along the way, but the summit was clear. Mauna Loa and Hualalai were also clearly visible. It was colder than I expected, so I was grateful for the warm clothing I rented. A few days earlier, I had seen Mauna Kea from Haleakalā on Maui, so it was fulfilling to see Haleakalā from Mauna Kea in return. When it got dark, I was able to see the Southern Cross, which I had longed to see during stargazing. The guide provided detailed explanations of constellations like Scorpius, Libra, Virgo, and Cancer, which was very educational. I appreciated the guide's stories and attentiveness. It was a very good tour.

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

Enjoy the magnificent nature! 雄大な自然を満喫！

Reviewed by: もやし

I participated in the morning session. It took about an hour and a half from Kona to reach the meeting place. We drove to the stable in the canyon and chose our horses. The instructions were 100% in English, so I had to pick up on the reins and precautions somewhat intuitively (laughs). The horses are well-trained, and the instructors are positioned at the front and back of the line, so I didn't feel particularly anxious. However, some horses would stop to eat grass or drink water and act freely, so I think it's important to take the lead.

By the way, what I found personally helpful to bring was a windbreaker. Depending on the timing (late April), I was caught in a sudden downpour that required an umbrella for about 10 minutes during the ride. I was unsure if it would be a nuisance, but I tied it around my waist and was able to quickly put it on while on the horse to shield myself from the rain, which turned out to be a great decision! They might provide raincoats if it rains from the start, but if it starts raining during the ride, each person will need to handle it on their own! Everyone was using insect repellent spray as well.

The instructors were all kind, explaining plants along the way and taking photos, which made for great memories. It's not often you get the chance to ride through such magnificent nature, and I'm glad I participated. I would love to do it again if I come back to the Big Island. Lastly, after horseback riding, I had a malasada at Tex Drive In near Honokaa, which I also recommend.

　午前の部に参加しました。
コナから1時間半程かかって集合場所に到着。渓谷にある馬屋まで車で移動し馬を選んでもらいます。
説明は100%英語なので手綱操作や注意事項は何となく察する感じで(笑)
馬はよく調教されてますしインストラクターの方が隊列の前後にいるので特に不安は感じませんが、馬によっては止まって草を食べたり水を飲んだり好き勝手に行動するので主導権を握る事が大事だと思います。
　ちなみに個人的に持って行って役立ったのがウインドブレーカーでした。
時期(4月末)によるのかもしれませんが、乗馬の最中に10分程普通に傘がいるレベルの通り雨に降られました。邪魔になるかな？と思いつつ腰に巻いていきましたが馬上でさっと羽織って雨をしのぐことができて大正解でした！
最初から雨の時はカッパをかしてくれる？かもしれませんが、途中で降った場合は各自で対応になります！
後は虫よけスプレーをみんな使っていました。
　インストラクターの方はみんな親切で途中で植物の説明をしてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれていい思い出になりましたし、雄大な自然の中を馬で散歩できる機会なんてそうそうないし参加して良かったです。
またハワイ島に来たらやってみたいです。
最後に、乗馬の後はホノカア近くのテックスドライブインでマラサダを食べましたがこちらもオススメです。

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

I was so excited! ドキドキしたぁ

Reviewed by: ババール

I signed up for horseback riding even though I couldn't speak English, thinking I could manage somehow. However, I found that I could hardly understand the explanations in English, and I only grasped the instructions through gestures. After quickly choosing a horse, we were off. I was really anxious, but the horse was well-trained and moved forward to some extent. At first, I was just trying to stay on, but gradually I was able to take in the scenery. However, at one point, the horse started eating grass, and when I tried to overtake another horse, I got scolded and almost fell off, desperately hanging on.

As I got more comfortable, I learned to control the horse so that it wouldn't get too close to others, and I started to find it cute. The freshness of the valley and my first horseback riding experience were thrilling yet enjoyable. I believe I can ride better next time. The time felt quite long, and my backside started to hurt a bit, and my legs were trembling afterward. I didn't have the chance to drink water during the ride because I couldn't let go of the reins. I took pictures with a camera hanging around my neck, using one hand. A guide did take a picture for me once.

初めての乗馬で英語が出来ないのに何とかなるかと申込みました。やはり英語の説明がほとんど理解出来ず、説明している時のジェスチャーのみで理解し、すぐ馬を選ばれて乗り込んだら出発です。すごーく不安でしたがそこは調教済のお馬さん、ある程度は進んでくれます。はじめは乗ってるだけで精一杯でしたが徐々に景色を観る余裕が。でも途中で草を食べ始めたり、他の馬を追い抜こうとして怒られ、ヒヒーンとなり落ちそうになって一生懸命捕まりました。
慣れてくると他の馬に近づき過ぎないようにコントロール出来るようになったりするので可愛く思えてきます。渓谷の清々しさと初めての乗馬はハラハラしつつ楽しかったです。次はもっと上手く乗れるはず。時間はけっこう長く感じました。少しお尻が痛くなり、終わった後は足もプルプルしました。手を離す余裕がなく途中で水を飲むことは私はありませんでした。写真も首にかけたカメラで片手で適当に撮る感じでした。一度ガイドさんが撮ってくれましたが。

On the day of the tour, the weather was gloomy and I wondered where Mauna Kea was, but when we reached the summit, it was clear, and we were able to enjoy a sunset with beautiful colors. By the time the stars began to appear, the thin clouds above had cleared, providing the best stargazing experience.

It was a tour where I could enjoy the sunset and the starry sky with my eyes, listen to the guide's explanations with my ears, and feel the cold at an altitude of 4,000 meters on my skin.

The guide's explanations and trivia on the way there and back were very helpful. There was a wealth of recommended information about the Big Island, and I wish I had participated in the tour on the first day.

ツアー当日はどんよりした天気でマウナケアはどこに山があるの？な感じでしたが、
山頂まで上がると晴れていて、夕焼け付きのサンセット見させてもらいました。

I was able to see many stars and a wonderful sunset. 沢山の星と素晴らしいサンセットを見ることができました。

Reviewed by: mpb

The guide, Herald, was friendly and kept the group energized during the long drive. He shared a lot of local information about Hawaii. If you understand English, I think it's easier to participate than in a Japanese tour.

Although the weather in Kona was nice on the day of the tour, it rained as we got closer to Mauna Kea, and I was worried about the weather at the summit. However, when we arrived at the top, it was above the clouds, so there was no need to worry.

The summit of Mauna Kea was really cold. Even with a light down jacket and four layers underneath, plus a large down jacket they provided, I still felt cold. Despite the warnings about needing a jacket and long pants, some people didn't prepare, and it seemed quite cold, so they ended up spending most of the time on the bus, which was disappointing to see. (So, warm clothing is essential.)

There were parts where we joined other group tours, which made it hard to hear the explanations, and there were often car lights and white lights that are strictly prohibited for stargazing. However, I was able to see shooting stars multiple times, which was moving! I highly recommend it.

とにかくガイドのヘラルドがフレンドリーで、車の長い道のりもグループを盛り上げてくれました。ハワイのローカル情報もたくさん教えてくれました。英語が分かる方なら日本語ツアーより参加しやすいと思います。
当日はコナの天気は良かったもののマウナケアに近づくほど雨で、山頂の天気を心配しましたが、山頂に着くとそこは雲の上で心配無用でした。
マウナケアの山頂は本当に寒かったです。ライトダウンを着て4枚も着込んだ上に貸してくれる大きなダウンを着ても寒かったです。
あれだけ注意事項に上着必須、長ズボンと書いてあっても用意していない人もいて、かなり寒かったらしくバスの中でほとんどを過ごすこととなり、見ていて残念でした。(そのため、防寒具必須です)
ほかの団体ツアーと一緒になる部分もあり、説明が聞き取れなかったり、星を見るには厳禁の車のライトやホワイトライトが行き交うことも多かったですが、流れ星を何度も見ることができ、感動的でした！お勧めです。

I prepared for the cold by bringing a hoodie, a rash guard, and slacks, as it was mentioned in advance to dress in layers. I thought it would be just right to receive warm clothing at the 2,800-meter "Onizuka Visitor Center." However, when I reached the summit, it was quite windy and very cold! I borrowed gloves, but it was still chilly. I seriously wished I had a sweater. The view from the top was fantastic, possibly because the air was so clear. The sunset was beautiful. At night, since the moon wasn't out, I was able to observe many stars, and the guide explained the constellations using a laser pointer, which was a lot of fun. I was impressed by the guide's extensive knowledge!

What surprised me was that I could see the "Hubble Space Telescope" flying right above the tour! It became a great memory.

事前に「寒いので重ね着の用意を」と書いてあったので、パーカーとラッシュガード、スラックスを持って行きました。2,800メートルの「オニズカ・ビジターセンター」で防寒着をもらって丁度良いかな？なんて。頂上に着いたら風もあり寒いのなんのって！手袋も借りていましたが寒い。真面目にセーターが欲しかったです。頂上からの景色は空気もきれいなのでしょうかとても良かったです。夕日のきれいでした。夜の星も月が出ていなかったのでたくさん観測することができ、案内の方がレーザーポインターで星座を説明してくれてとても楽しかったです。案内の方の知識の凄いこと！感心しました。
そう！ビックリしたのは「ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡」が丁度ツアーの上を飛んでいるのが見えたことです！良い記念になりました。

I fully understood that the weather could affect our plans, but the island tour, including Kilauea, that I had booked the day before was canceled due to the eruption. I prayed to at least see Mauna Kea, and my prayers were answered.

Without suffering from altitude sickness, I witnessed a beautiful sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. For some reason, I found myself in tears. Then, at a parking lot a little lower down, we enjoyed a starry sky. It was a luxurious time lying down together just to gaze at the stars. Kon-chan's explanations were easy to understand.

It was a perfect night with a sky full of stars, with no moon in sight. It was an experience I will never forget.

天気に左右されることは充分わかっていましたが、前日に予約していたキラウエアを含む島内観光が噴火によりツアー中止になり、マウナケア山だけでもなんとか見たい！の祈りが天に通じました。

Thank you for the kind support and consideration from the guide, and especially for the detailed explanation of the constellations under the starry sky. I plan to study stars when I get home. I was truly moved by the Southern Cross!

ガイドさんの親切な対応、気配り、何より満天の星空の下、ガイドさんの丁寧な星座の説明。
有難うございました。
帰ったら星の勉強をしようと思います。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Knowledgeable and interesting

Reviewed by: Marco and Nancy

The tour was very interesting and Arthur our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the region. He answered all of our questions about the local environment as well as the history of the Hawaiian people.

It was cold at the summit and a sweatshirt should be worn if you cannot handle the cold even with the atlantic parka and gloves that is supplied.

The stargazing spot was incredibly clear and we could see hundreds of stars. We were also able to spot Venus, Jupiter, and several star systems through the telescopes provided.

The weather was not favorable. 天気に恵まれず。

Reviewed by: K.Hira

The sunset from the summit was covered by clouds, so I couldn't see it well. I was hoping for a sky full of stars, but the clouds got in the way, and I couldn't see them properly. However, I was able to see the Southern Cross. It's a shame that the weather wasn't favorable.

山頂からの夕日は雲に覆われ十分にみることができませんでした。

ただ南十字星をみることができました。

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

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: たぬきち一家

I went with my 10-year-old child, and we had a great time without any issues. There were two cheerful female guides who explained everything while we leisurely walked through the mountains for a full hour and a half. The dog at the reception leading the way was also very cute. It rained quite a bit along the way, but that felt nice in its own way. My experienced mother mentioned that she wanted to run at times, but she seemed very satisfied overall. Speaking a little English was not a problem at all.

10才の子供と、ちょっとのったことのある程度でしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。
女性のガイドさん二人で、陽気に説明をしてくれながらたっぷり一時間半のんびり山のなかを歩きます。受付にいたわんちゃんが先導しているのもとても可愛かったです。
途中結構な雨になりましたが、それはそれできもちが良かったです。
経験者の母は「走りたかった」とも思ったようですが、十分満足だったようです。
英語もちょっと話せる程度で全く問題ありませんでした。

Extreme weather 異常気象

Reviewed by: トオル

Recently, the weather in Hawaii has been unusual, and it hasn't been good since February. Naturally, this time at Mauna Kea, we only made it to Onizuka. We missed the sunset and the Milky Way as well. Although I could have canceled the tour, I was told that I would receive a tour ticket valid for two years, so I participated. It will become invalid if I don't come to Hawaii within two years, so it gives me motivation. I will make a comeback within two years!

最近のハワイは異常気象で天気が2月から良くありません。当然今回のマウナケアもオニズカまででした。サンセットもダメ、天の川もだめでした。ツアーキャンセルもできましたが、2年間有効のツアー券がもらえるとの事で、参加しました。2年以内にハワイにこないと無効になりますので、励みになります。2年以内にリベンジします！

Can you climb to the summit of Mauna Kea? An exciting journey! マウナケアの山頂に登れるか？ドキドキの旅

Reviewed by: piapia

The first thing the hotel staff said upon our arrival was, "It was snowing in the morning, and the summit was closed. It's open now, but we don't know when it might close again." We set off with a bit of a resigned attitude. Normally in April, there's an 80% chance of reaching the summit, but this year, there's an 80% chance of not being able to. They mentioned that for the past few days, no one had been able to reach the summit. When we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center, it was raining quite a bit, and we were fully in a resigned mode. After a while, the rain stopped, so we decided to eat our lunch outside. Then, gradually, it started to brighten up, and we were able to climb Mauna Kea! Although we couldn't see the bright red sunset like in the pictures, we were grateful to have made it to the summit.

For stargazing, they helped us find a good spot to see the stars. The explanations about the stars were easy to understand. We even saw shooting stars. What was unexpectedly delightful was that during the stargazing session, we were served cookies and tea, and the cookies were Mrs. Barry's cookies, which I had wanted to try! Thank you to our guides, Jin and Konno! It was a very satisfying tour.

The summit of Mauna Kea is cold. They lend you upper and lower wear, so I brought my own lightweight down jacket, high socks, and gloves that allow me to use my smartphone. They also lend gloves, but they are thick, making it inconvenient to operate the camera.

　ホテルにお迎えの第一声が、「午前中は雪が降っていて、山頂はクローズしてました。今は、開いてますが、いつクローズになるかわかりません。」ちょっとあきらめ模様で出発。通常4月は、山頂に登れるのが80％だが、今年は山頂に登れないのが、80％とのこと。この何日間は、山頂まで登れていないとのこと。オニヅカビジターセンターに着いて、結構雨が降っていてもうあきらめモード全開。しばらくしたらやんだので、外でお弁当を食べることに。そしたら、だんだん明るくなってきて、マウナケア登れました！写真でみるような真っ赤な夕焼けはみれなかったけど、登れたことに感謝しよう。
　星空観測は、見える所を探して見せてくれました。星の説明もわかりやすかったです。流れ星もみました。予想外にうれしかったのが、星空観測の際にクッキーと紅茶をいただいたのですが、そのクッキーが食べてみたかったミセスバリーズのクッキーでした！ガイドのジンさん、コンノさんお世話になりました！とても満足できるツアーでした。
　マウナケアの山頂は、寒いです。上下のウェアを貸してくれるので、自分で薄手のダウンとハイソックスの靴下とスマホができる手袋を持っていきました。手袋も貸してもらえますが、分厚いのでカメラの操作をするには不自由です。

The starry sky is the best! 星空サイコー

Reviewed by: From大阪

It's a shame that we couldn't reach the summit due to the out-of-season snowfall, but our guide, Mr. Konno, worked hard and we were able to see a sky full of stars, achieving our main goal. On the way back, we also saw the starry sky by the roadside, and he showed us the Southern Cross, making it a wonderful memory.

季節外れの積雪で頂上に行けなかったのは残念ですが、ガイドのKonnoさんが頑張ってくださり満天の星空を見る事ができ、一番の目標が達成できました。帰る途中も道路脇でまたまた星空、南十字星も見せてくださって最高の思い出になりました。

コハラ地区 ジップライン＆吊り橋渡り体験　滝つぼ遊び付きプランあり ＜英語インストラクター＞

9 zip lines and a suspension bridge crossing. ジップライン9本 吊り橋渡り

Reviewed by: グラナダ

The instructors were very kind, and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it enjoyable. There were few Japanese participants, and the event was primarily in English, but that was fun in its own way. The height of the zip line added to the grandeur of the experience, and I had a great time. I highly recommend it.

インストラクターの方々もとても親切で和やかな雰囲気で楽しむことが出来ました。日本人も少なく、英語主体での参加になりますが、それはそれで楽しかったです。ジップラインの高さもあり、とても雄大な感じを受けながら、楽しめました。お勧めですね。

Hawaii Zipline Tours - Big Island Waterfall & Rainforest Zip Adventure

Great value and views along this zipline

Reviewed by: Corly

Overall, very satisfied with the value of this trip. I have ziplined in Mexico and in Belize City, and this trip was very comparable in terms of value, excitement, and thrill.

The Hawaii zipline consisted of 7 lines, the first few were relatively short. Although short, breathtaking views. The last three were much longer, more scenic, and best of all, amazing view of a BEAUTIFUL waterfall! The day I went was very gloomy and did have some slight visibility issues due to fog, but the experience was amazing.

This was more expensive than my foreign ziplines, but as I mentioned, it was a great value for the experience relative to the other ziplines I have done.

Thinking back on what I could have paid for other Big Island adventures, no regrets on this trip and would ABSOLUTELY do this one again.

Lastly, the staff were great! Very expeditious, always safety first, and very friendly.
