I was able to see a very beautiful sunset, and it was moving!! However, it was extremely cold. For stargazing, clouds rolled in, but they worked hard to find a spot where we could see the stars, and we managed to catch a glimpse. Masashi's guidance was also excellent, and it will definitely be one of my best memories on the Big Island. However, sunsets make me feel a bit lonely when the sun goes down, so perhaps a sunrise would have been even more moving. It’s early in the morning, but I thought I would like to go for a sunrise next time.
とてもキレイなサンセットがみれて、感動的でした!!ただ、めちゃめちゃ寒いです。星空観測は雲が出てしまったのですが、見れるところを一生懸命探してくださって、なんとか見れました。マサシさんのガイドもすごく良くて、ハワイ島で一番の思い出になること間違いなしです。ただ、サンセットは日が沈むと寂しい気持ちになるので、サンライズのほうが、もっと感動的だったかも。朝早いですが、次回はサンライズ行きたいなと思いました。

We were picked up at our hotel in Kona around 1 PM and took about two hours to reach the Onizuka Visitor Center via the hotel in Waikoloa. There, we had our lunch and spent an hour acclimatizing to the altitude before driving up to the summit of Mauna Kea again. The summit was very windy and cold, but we were deeply moved by the beautiful sunset and the sea of clouds. After that, we observed the starry sky at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, where the stars appeared very close, and we could even see satellites moving. It was a great experience of nature that you can't have in Tokyo. Our guide, Stephan, was also kind and a truly wonderful person.
13時頃にコナのホテルでピックアップ、ワイコロアのホテル経由で約2時間かけてオニズカビジターセンターに着きました。そこでお弁当を食べ体を標高に慣らすこと1時間、再度車でマウナケア頂上まで登りました。山頂は風が強く寒かったですが、きれいな日没と雲海を見ることが出来て大変感動しました。そのあとも標高3千数百メートルのところで星空観察、星がとても近く見え、人口衛星まで動いているのが確認できました。東京では体験できない大自然、とても良かったです。ガイドのステファンさんも親切で大変素晴らしい方でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour the other day.
The starry sky from the summit of Mauna Kea is something you can't see in Tokyo, right?
I'm very happy to hear such wonderful feedback.
We all look forward to your next visit to the island.

It rains a lot on the mountain so it was postponed twice. We were looking for a more relaxed, free ride which they intimated but it was not quite what we were looking for. There were four other people, most of whom didn't know what they were doing. So maybe if it was just my daughter and I, it would have been better. The ranch is nice and if you're inexperienced and just looking for a mostly plodding experience, it's a good activity. Using VELTRA was a good experience. They have a very good system.

You can enjoy an hour and a half of horseback riding. The grasslands stretch as far as the eye can see! The instructions are in English, so if you don't understand English, it's better to read the instructions hanging on the wall before participating. There are hills, making it thrilling. While your horse is eating grass, the other horses move ahead, and you might find yourself trying to catch up with the group, which left me, as a beginner, exhausted by the end. You can really enjoy it to the point where you wonder if you still have to walk!
1時間半みっちり乗馬ができます。見渡す限りの草原!説明は英語なので英語がわからない人は事前に壁にかけてある説明書きを読んでから参加した方がよいです。坂があったりでスリル満天。自分のお馬さんが草を食べている間に他のお馬さんがどんどん進んでいくと、その群れに追いつこうと走り出したりするので、乗馬初心者の私は終わるころにはぐったり。まだ歩くのか・・・というぐらい満喫できます!

We had a great time zip lining! This was my second time zip lining (first time in Sonoma) and my husband's first time. Our amazing guides Brian and Nainoa helped make our day memorable and zip lining easy for everyone. One recommendation for anyone prone to mosquito bites: bring mosquito gel or something for your exposed arms/legs! I sprayed two layers of OFF on my legs and came out of the first two lines with about 14 bites on my legs. The company provides OFF spray for you to use before you head up the bumpy road to the first line, but it doesn't quite work. I recommend wearing pants/long sleeve clothes that breathes as well as using bug spray as it is very humid there. If you bring your smart phone, I'd recommend bringing something to wrap around your wrist. If you have a regular camera, you can strap it around your neck or wrist. They have water to drink as you go through the course, so no need to bring a bottle along.
The course has seven lines for you to travel on, with the first two being very beginner friendly through the banana trees. As you progress throughout the zip lines, they get longer and the terrain clears up a bit. The guides find wild fruit that is growing on the course and pick it for you to eat. We had apple bananas, two types of guava (one pink and one small, sweet yellow guava), tomatoes, and a sip of white ginger flower nectar. The last two lines are by far the best. Second to last, you travel over the river before the waterfall and is the last line where you can practice your "steering". The last line you just let gravity take you down as you take a nice long ride, with an amazing view of the waterfall, to the end of the course. When you reach the bottom of the line, they have more fresh fruit and sugar cane all cut up, ready to enjoy! We would definitely go back!
One thing is the equipment can get a little smelly. Not sure how much it gets wiped down (my harness smelled sour and helmet left me sweating brown stuff).

This is the best hawaiian experience ever…I have done this twice! Not the typical tour, a local hawaiian Mika, takes you on a personal tour, with local folklore about the menehunas, he shows the local fruit, plants, how the hawaiian grew the taro plant..and then we can eat and taste the local fruit. I ride horses, and have ridden many a tourist rides, all over my travels, but this my favorite, the spiritual Waipio Valley with a local guide. Local horses (and you ride by wild mustangs in the valley) amazing to see.! ,Even my co-worker, from NY who has never been on a horse, loved it and feeling so close to nature and the culture. I will go on this ride every time I come to Big Island!
My favorite Hawaiian experience..you feel very connected with the culture, and nature.

Absolutely fantastic experience. I would totally recommend this. Tim and Nainoa were great, they made everyone feel at ease and were really personable. The ziplines were wicked and the views were awesome. Both Tim and Nainoa provided a lot of interesting facts and information about Hawaii's history, climate, geography and botany during the tours. With seven lines, each successively bigger, you get to experience the thrill of gliding through the air at incredible speeds. The last one is the best, as you zip along a line for a km and could reach 50 miles an hour (if you weigh a little bit ;)). But as I said, it's awesome. Totally recommend this experience.

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was absolutely amazing. Even after the sun set, the gradual change in the color of the sky was incredibly beautiful. The starry sky was also stunning, and since the moon was about a crescent, the moonlight didn't interfere much, allowing us to see a starry sky that felt like a planetarium in real life. While gazing absentmindedly, I was able to see quite a few shooting stars as well. This time, I couldn't make a reservation for the Japanese tour because they were fully booked, so I joined the English tour. I was a bit worried, but I could manage to understand simple English, so I enjoyed it without any problems!
雲海に沈む夕日はとにかく凄かったです。夕日が沈んだ後も徐々に空の色が変わっていくのがすごく綺麗でした。
星空も月が三日月くらいだったのでそれほど月あかりは邪魔にもならず、プラネタリウムを見ているような星空が生で見れました☆

Whilst reading this activity when planning my vacation to Hawaii I knew that going to the summit and doing some stargazing would be something not to be missed. I'm glad it did not disappoint! The sunset atop Mauna Kea is amazing with only clouds below us, and we were able to view a great deal of objects in the night sky. It does definitely get chilly up there, and even though they supply Parkas and gloves be sure to wear some heavy pants and thick covered in shoes (lest your toes succumb to frostbite!) I have recommended this tour to friends whom I know will be going to Hawaii in the next few years.

I participated alone, but I was with a Japanese couple. The guide, who didn’t speak much English, just walked silently at a slow pace. Although it was supposed to be a 2.5-hour course, it felt quite short, and I was disappointed. This is my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, but is this how it usually is? I won't be horseback riding in Hawaii again.

I have been zipping a few times before and this experience was one of the best. Although, the trip up to the zip lines was a little rough because the van used was a bit under equipped for the job, but we made it up the hill. The first few zips are a bit mundane, but the last few are awe striking. The staff were the best, friendly and very informative about the island, they even gave us bananas and limes right off the tree. The office staff was also very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed the trip and I would recommend zipping at this location. The last zip over the waterfall lasted over a minute and the experience was truly breath taking. Mahalo to all of the staff, I hope to return someday.

My wife and I had ziplined once before on Kauai and found it to be an incredible way to see parts of the island you would never get to see otherwise and at a killer perspective. We thought it would be tough to beat our first experience but decided that ziplining over Kolekole waterfalls would be worth a shot; and boy was it! The tour starts with an informative 15 minute drive before embarking on the first zipline. They start you off easy so that you can get a feel for ziplining since it will be a first time experience for many participants. They lines get better and better each run and then the final two lines are nothing short of stunning and worth the price of admission by themselves. The staff and setting were both fantastic and this adventure became one of our most memorable experiences on Hawaii and our best ziplining yet! A must do!

My wife and I did a Zipline in Kauai last year and quickly fell in love with the activity. When we went to the Big Island this year we decided to give it another try and see if it was still as thrilling. You take a 15 minute ride through a farm area on your way to the first zipline and the staff gives you information on the plants in the area; both native and non-native to Hawaii. The opening ziplines they take you on are all about helping you feel comfortable for an activity that most participants haven't experienced before. While hanging from a cable may seem scary to some, we quickly felt safe and confident from the start given the equipment and staff's help. Each zipline is longer and better than the previous one and the last two ziplines are nothing short of sensational and worth the price of admission on their own. For a great experience and an opportunity to see a vantage point of Hawaii and its spectacular waterfalls rarely seen, this series of ziplines is a can't miss!

Being in Waipi'o Valley itself was wonderfully refreshing. It would be tough to walk since you have to cross rivers and navigate bumpy paths, but I don't like cars, so it was a fun experience unique to horseback riding. However, since we were moving slowly and following the person in front of us, it was a bit boring that we couldn't go ahead or run.
ワイピオ渓谷にいること自体がすばらしく気持ちよかった。川を渡ったりでこぼこ道を行ったりするので歩くのは大変だろうけど、車は好きではないので乗馬ならではの楽しい経験でした。ただ、前の人にくっついてゆっくりなので、先に行ったり走ったりができないのでその点はちょっとつまらないです。

However dInner wasn't that great - was handed the food to eat at the visitor center -no where to sit and eat and had to balance dinner plate on my lap. This was not what I expected. As well, food was not very good. No drink included. Astronomy lesson after sunset was interesting. Although overall the trip was ok I did not think it was worth the money.

I participated because I wanted to ride in a wide open space, as the riding club was only within a circle. Since the riding styles were different, both the horses and I were a bit confused at first, but we quickly got used to it and started moving. The horses were calm and well-trained, knowing the route, so they responded well to just a little cue. The feeling of galloping across the vast grasslands was the best!
Before starting, regarding the rental coats, it was more of a "feel free to use them if you want" attitude. The weather was nice, and we were wearing jackets, plus the rental coats weren't very clean, so we intended not to borrow one. However, since many people (we were the only Japanese) were borrowing them, I asked, "Should I wear a coat?" and was told, "It's better to wear one because it's cold." Indeed, once we got out to the grasslands, the wind was very strong, and it was the right decision to borrow a coat.
In Japan, there would likely be polite advice given at the beginning... They were very nice people, but I definitely felt the culture of personal responsibility in America.
乗馬クラブではサークルの中だけなので、広いところで乗馬がしたくて参加しました。

Watching the sunset and stargazing at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island is something I want to experience at least once in my lifetime, so I made the trip from my usual base in Oahu. Since I was the first to be picked up for the tour, I ended up sitting next to Masakazu Matsuzaki, known as "Macchan." His consistent dedication to service was genuine. I could hear him saying, "Oh, this is fun, fun," as if he was reminding himself, almost like a mantra. I felt it was wonderful how he responded to guests' requests and guided us naturally, with his way of life and work in harmony.
When you have a good guide, not only can you enjoy the night sky, star clusters, and shooting stars with their extensive astronomical knowledge, but the entire group can also share a pleasant time together. During our stop at Onizuka Point for lunch, we joined the Yamachan group, and the banter between Macchan and Yamachan was a highlight. Thanks to them, we also got to see the rare silver sword plant! As we approached the summit, the sea of clouds and the scattered observation telescopes from various countries created a mysterious and almost sci-fi movie-like atmosphere. When the orange sunset sank into the clouds, the show of countless stars began. That emotion is something you have to experience at least once... While personal cameras have limitations in skill and performance, the photos taken by the guides can be downloaded after returning home, and their quality and shot composition brought a second wave of excitement. I truly made wonderful memories. Thank you very much. Next year, I will challenge myself with the "sunrise." Macchan, please keep guiding until then...!

良いガイドにあたると、豊富な天文の知識で星空、星団や流れ星を楽しめるだけでなく、ツアー全員も和やかに一つの時間を共有できるのです。 途中の鬼塚ポイントでのお弁当、やまちゃんグループと合流、まっちゃん&やまちゃんのかけ合い漫才も目玉ですよ。 珍しい銀剣草もお蔭で見れました! 頂上が近づくにつれ、雲海や点在する各国の展望鏡など、まるで宇宙SF映画のような不思議な、それでいて神秘的な気分になっていきます。オレンジ色の夕陽が雲海に落ちていくと、満天の星のショーの始まりです。あの感動は一度は味わわないと...個人のカメラでは腕と性能に限りがありますが、ガイドの彼らが撮って下さった写真が帰国後、ダウンロードでき、その出来映えとショットセンスに二度目の感動です。ほんとにいい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。来年は、”サンライズ”に挑戦します。まっちゃん、それまでやめないでガイド続けててね...!
Thank you very much for participating in our tour the other day.
The photos can also be used for New Year's cards, right?
We look forward to welcoming you on the Sunrise Tour next time.
Thank you.
先日は弊社のツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。
お写真は年賀状にも使えますよね!
次回はぜひ是非、サンライズツアーでお待ちしております。
ありがとうございました。

I participated on November 6th. The summit at 4200m was very cold, but the sunset with the sea of clouds was wonderful and very moving. I didn't suffer from altitude sickness, and I was lent proper cold-weather gear. They also provided warm drinks along the way, showing great attention to detail, which allowed me to fully enjoy the stunning scenery. One disappointment was that there were too many clouds to observe the starry sky. Still, I was able to take many photos with the full moon in the background and had a great time. I saw people around 60 years old participating energetically, so I think anyone can enjoy this experience.
11/6に参加しました。4200mの山頂はとても寒かったですが、サンセットは雲海がすばらしくとても感動しました。高山病にもならず、しっかりとした防寒具も貸してもらえ、途中暖かい飲料も頂いたりと細やかに気配り頂いたので、とても素晴らしい景色を堪能することができました。ひとつ残念だったのは、雲が多くて星空観測がほとんどできなかった事です。それでもたくさんフルムーンを背景にたくさん写真を撮ったりして楽しめました。60歳前後の方も元気に参加されていたので、どなたでも楽しめると思いました。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour.

We were blessed with great weather and were moved by the wonderful sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea. Although we participated as an older group, it seemed that everyone experienced a perspective that made them feel as if their lifespan had been extended. Many had wanted to climb it at least once, and we were impressed by the greatness of the mountain, which didn't feel like 4,200 meters, as well as the guide's storytelling and photographs.
天気にも恵まれマウナケアの素晴らしい夕日と星空に感動でした。
年齢の高いグループで参加しましたがそれぞれが寿命が延びたような世界観を味わえたようです。一度は登ってみたいと思っていた人も多く、4200Mを感じさせない山の偉大さと案内のガイドさんの話術と写真に感動しました。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. Mauna Kea has been selected as one of the world's most beautiful sights, and we are truly happy to have been able to guide you there. Please feel free to visit us as many times as you like, and extend your lifespan even further. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your return.

The weather at the summit on the day was not great (blizzard), which was a bit disappointing, but... we were able to see the starry sky a little lower down. It wasn't quite a full sky, but it was moving. Masashi's tour was enjoyable and very accommodating, and I was very satisfied. However... it was unfortunate that there weren't enough rental outfits for everyone, and my partner ended up without one and looked cold.
当日の山頂の天候がイマイチ(吹雪)でちょっと残念でしたが・・・少し下ったところで星空見れました。満天・・・までとはいかなかったと思うけど感動しました。マサシさんのツアーは楽しくいたれりつくせりで大満足でした。ただ・・・貸し出ししてくれるはずのウェアが人数分なくて足りなくなってしまい、相方があぶれてしまい寒そうだったのは残念だったところ・・・。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. I was unaware that you did not have enough warm clothing. Although it was quite some time ago, I looked into it. On that day, Yamamoto was the guide, but there were no reports regarding this issue. We will ensure that such situations do not occur in the future. I sincerely apologize for making you feel cold.
Please come back to the Big Island again next time. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you very much.

弊社のツアーにご参加頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。防寒着がたりなかったとは知りませんでした。随分前のことですが、調べました。当日は山本がガイドでしたが何も報告が
ございませんでした。今後はこのようなことがないように致します。寒い思いをさせてしまいまして大変申し訳ございませんでした。
次回またハワイ島にお越しくださいませ。スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申しております。
どうもありがとうございました。
