Stunning beauty and fascinating cultural legacy! We had been before with another company. Both were equally as great, but we didn't book ahead this time. Online-no luck...but when I called the 800 number, Reid Oshiro w Veltra helped with concierge service. Booked my party of 10, emailed and phoned me to confirm, etc. Reid, you were our hero of our week on Hawaii! Before or after your HB trip have lunch at the local pizza place in Waipio and shop the couple of nick-nack shops. Ten mins from trails. Really great food! Nice day!

It was a breathtaking view that felt otherworldly. この世のものとは思えない絶景でした

Reviewed by: tetsu

I really wanted my whole family to participate, but due to the age restrictions for children, I went as a representative (laughs). The sunset and the gradient of the sky were amazing, resembling a scene from the moon. Additionally, the starry sky, where even satellites were clearly visible, was unique to Mauna Kea. The guide's talk was also brilliant. Personally, I was surprised that I could capture such a beautiful starry sky with my mirrorless camera. I even learned how to use the camera from the guide, and it was a very satisfying tour. I want to go again!

本当は家族全員で参加したかったのですが、子ども年齢制限もあり、私が代表して（笑）参加しました。
まるで月面のような光景に沈む夕日と空のグラデーションが素晴らしかった。また、人工衛星までくっきりと見える星空はマウナケアならではでした。ガイドのトークも冴えわたっていました。個人的には手持ちのミラーレス一眼であんなにきれいな星空を撮影できるなんてびっくりしました。ガイドさんにカメラの使い方まで教わり、大変満足のいくツアーでした。また行きたいです！

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

Horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley! ワイピオ渓谷で乗馬！

Reviewed by: ひまわり

This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii. The afternoon reservations were fully booked, so I joined the morning tour. It took exactly two hours to get there from South Kona. I think it would take about an hour from the Waikoloa resort area as well.

We took a van from the meeting point down to the stables. I happened to sit near the sliding door, and since it was open while we were driving, I was able to see the beautiful coastline and waterfalls.

The horse I rode kept stopping multiple times, which made me a bit anxious at the back, but I think even beginners would have no problem riding. I didn't experience any pain in my backside, but towards the end, my knees started to hurt a little, which was tough.

We were able to take photos with the valley in the background. It was my first time entering the river, and I was excited. Perhaps because the water level was high that day, my shoes and even the cuffs of my pants got wet.

They provided a bag to hook onto the saddle for small items like water bottles. I brought my camera and valuables hanging around my neck. I couldn't catch most of the English explanations, so if I had studied the history beforehand, it might have made the experience more profound as a sacred place.

ハワイで3回目の乗馬です。午後の予約はいっぱいで午前のツアーに参加しました。
サウスコナから行ったのできっちり2時間かかりました。ワイコロアのリゾートエリアからでも1時間はかかるかと思います。
集合場所から馬舎まではバンで下っていきます。たまたまスライドドアの近くに座ったら、オープン状態で走行したので海岸や滝がきれいに見れました。
私が乗った馬は何度も立ち止まってしまい後ろの方でやきもきしましたが、初めてのかたでも問題なく乗れると思います。おしりが痛くなることはなかったのですが、最後のほうは膝が痛くなってしまい少しつらかったです。
途中で渓谷をバックに写真を撮ってもらえます。川の中に入るのは初めての体験だったのでワクワクしました。この日は水量が多かったのか、靴はもちろんズボンの裾まで濡れました。
ペットボトルなどの小物は鞍にひっかけるバッグを貸してもらえます。私はカメラと貴重品を首から下げて行きました。
英語の説明はほとんど聞き取れなかったので、前もって歴史を勉強して行くと神聖な場所としてもっと感慨深いものになったかもしれません。

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: yakko

I had never been on a guided horseback ride at a ranch before, so I was a bit worried, but I was completely satisfied. My husband and I participated together, along with five other foreign guests. There were explanations provided in Japanese. I was surprised by the sudden horseback riding, but just as others had shared in their experiences, the horses were well-trained and made for a pleasant ride. Two and a half hours flew by in no time. The vast ranch, the shining sea seen from the mountains—truly, we had a wonderful time. Other ranches might not offer such an experience. The weather changed rapidly, with clouds, sunshine, light rain, and fog, but it felt like we were one with nature, which made it enjoyable. I would love to ride again.

牧場での観光引き馬にした乗ったことがなかったので心配でしたが、もう大満足。夫と二人で参加しました。他には５人の外国人の方。説明は、日本語で書かれたものが用意されていました。いきなりの乗馬。驚きましたが、他の方の体験談を読んだ通りで、馬はよく調教されており、気持ちよく乗せてくれました。２時間半なんてあっという間。広大な牧場、山からみた輝く海、本当にすばらしい時間を過ごすことができました。ほかの牧場ではこんなふうにはいかないかもしれません。曇ったり照ったり小雨が降ったり霧が出たりとめまぐるしく変わる天候も、自然と一体化したようで楽しめました。また乗せてもらいたいと思います。

I was satisfied with everything, including the guide's explanations, photo opportunities, lunch, cocoa with cookies, and their thoughtfulness. They prepare everything for cold weather, including upper and lower clothing, hats, and gloves, so if you prepare warm clothing in advance, you can truly enjoy the experience. However, be careful not to get too excited and make noise at the summit, as it can lead to oxygen deprivation and faintness. But the views are so stunning that you might find yourself wanting to celebrate! I highly recommend it!

A fun horseback riding experience - the whole family, including beginners, enjoyed it! 楽しい乗馬体験～初心者の家族全員が楽しめた！～

Reviewed by: りんりん

I made a reservation for a course on July 20, 2013, at 8:30 AM. I participated with my husband, my daughter who is in high school, and my son who is in elementary school. I was quite anxious! Although I had been on a horse before, it was at a ranch in Japan where the ranch staff held the reins and we just rode around a designated area, so I was worried if we could ride here too.

The horse was quite tall, easily exceeding my height of 154 cm, and seemed to be about 175 cm. Once I finally got on, the view was different. At first, I was scared, but as I rode, I became completely okay with it. The horse was very calm and listened to us well. I was taught how to guide the horse with commands like stop, go, right, and left. Two young ladies accompanied us, one at the front and one at the back, with our family in the middle. They spoke English, but I was able to understand everything, so please don't worry.

The ranch on the Big Island of Hawaii is not flat like in Japan, so it was interesting with hills and valleys. It's better to speak to the horse in English for better understanding! For example, "thank you" translates to "THANK YOU," and "good" can be used for phrases like "it's okay" or "good job."

2013/07/20（土）の8：30～にコースで予約いたしました。
私、主人、高1の娘、小6の息子で参加しました。結構不安でした！馬になったことはあってもそれは日本の牧場で馬の手綱を牧場の人が持って私たちは乗ってるだけで、一定の場所を1周するという感じだったので、こんな私たちでも乗れるのか不安だったのです。
馬の背は高く私の身長（154cm)を優に超えて175cmあったようでした。そこにやっと乗ると景色が違いました。最初は怖かったですが、乗っているうちに全然Ｏｋになりました。馬も全然おとなしくてゆうことをきいてくれていました。止まれ！進め！右！左！の馬の誘導の仕方は教えていただけました。2人のお姉さんが先頭と最後尾についてくれて私たち家族を真ん中にして進みました。お姉さんたちは英語でしたが、全然理解ができましたので、ご安心ください。
ハワイ島の牧場は日本のように平ではないので山あり谷ありで面白かったですよ。
馬に対しては英語で話しかけた方が理解してくれますよ！ありがとう→THANK YOU,いいよとかよしよしとか→GOODという感じです。

Amazing! Amazing!

Reviewed by: Poitan

Mount Fuji has been registered as a World Heritage Site, but I don't think there's another mountain where you can drive up to such a high elevation.

The road conditions can be quite poor, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. (However, since it can be troublesome to feel sleepy at high altitudes, it's worth considering medication...)

The view is absolutely breathtaking; looking down at the clouds, the sunset, and fortunately, it was close to a new moon, so I was moved to see how many stars are actually visible. If I ever come back to Big Island or if someone I know is going, I would definitely recommend this tour. I think going on your own would be very difficult, so I recommend participating in a tour.

As for keeping warm, it can be quite cold even near the Onizuka Visitor Center. It's a good idea to bring long pants and an additional layer like a sweatshirt or hoodie. Wearing the provided cold-weather gear will also keep you warm enough.

富士山が世界遺産に登録されましたが、それより高い山頂付近まで車で登れる山

こんなに多くの星空が本当は見えるんだな、と感動しました。
またビックアイラインドに来ることがある、もしくは知り合いが行くことがあれば

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Two hours of horseback riding. 乗馬たっぷり２時間

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family. We took a taxi to the ranch. It took about an hour by car from the Hilton where we were staying (it might take longer if you're not familiar with the roads), costing around $100. Our family of three joined a group of four young foreigners, and we had two female guides. Excluding the safety instructions and equipment explanations, we had a full two hours of riding time. The guides spoke broken Japanese, but there were no issues. The horses were very gentle and seemed to remember the path on their own, so they moved forward just by riding them (though some cues were needed when they were slow). Those who wanted could canter, and my companion, despite being a beginner, managed to canter. It was said that there are some cold spots on the ranch, and the guides provided windbreakers for us. The guides, although speaking broken Japanese, were attentive to us, making for an enjoyable two hours. I booked the activity for the first time through Alan, and the process was smooth with no particular issues.

家族で参加しました。牧場まではタクシーを使いました。泊まっているヒルトンから車で飛ばして１時間（道に精通していなければ多分もっとかかります）、100ドルほどです。われわれ家族３人と外国人の若者グループ４人が参加して、ガイドの女性が２人つきました。注意事項や装備の説明を除いて乗っている時間はたっぷり２時間はありました。ガイドは片言の日本語ですが、問題はなかったです。馬は大変大人しく、自分で道を覚えており、乗っているだけで進んで行ってくれます〈遅い時は、多少の合図は必要です〉。希望者はキャンター（駆足）も可能で、連れは初心者にも関わらずキャンターをしてました。牧場内では寒くなる場所もあるそうで、ガイドがウインドブレーカーも用意してくれました。ガイドは日本語を片言ですが、われわれにも気を配ってくれて楽しい２時間でした。アランさんを通じて初めてアクティビティを予約しましたが、手続きはスムーズで特に問題はありませんでした。

Next time I visit the Big Island, I decided to participate in the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour." It was cloudy and rainy in the morning, and I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars, but at the summit of Mauna Kea, we were above the clouds and were able to see a beautiful sunset and many constellations. The guide's explanations of the constellations were enjoyable and easy to understand, and thanks to that, I had a wonderful time.

As a bonus, I saw Hawaiian geese on Saddle Road, and I was also able to see the Southern Cross in the Northern Hemisphere.

The weather was great. 天気が最高でした

Reviewed by: まちまち

They lend you winter clothing (jackets, pants, gloves, hats), but it was good that I also prepared for the cold to some extent. Although the weather was nice and it was said not to be too cold, it was quite chilly compared to the ground temperature. I was torn between sunrise and sunset, but since it was a day when the moon was just starting to wane from full, it seems that sunset was the right choice. If I had chosen sunrise, it seems the moon wouldn't have set for a while, making it difficult to see the stars. Mauna Loa was beautifully visible, along with the sea of clouds, the shadow of Mauna Kea, the sunset, and the starry sky—it was perfect. The guide, Mr. Konno, explained the stars very clearly. It was a great memory to be able to climb a mountain higher than Mount Fuji. Thank you.

防寒着（上着、ズボン、手袋、帽子）を貸してくれるのですが、自分でもある程度防寒していってよかったです。お天気がよかったのでそれほど寒くないという話でしたが、地上温度と比べるとかなり寒かったです。サンライズかサンセットで悩んだのですが、日程的に満月から少しかけはじめた日だったのでサンセットで正解だったようです。サンライズにしていたら、月がなかなか沈まないので星が見えにくかったらしいです。マウナロアもきれいに見え、雲海、マウナケアの影、夕日、星空パーフェクトでした。ガイドの今野さんの星の説明はとてもわかりやすかったです。富士山よりも高い山に登ることができてよい思い出になりました。ありがとうございます。

In the pitch-black night, the beautiful stars and the faintly glowing Kilauea volcano in the distance were breathtaking. It was a moment where even blinking felt like a waste, as we could see shooting stars.

The explanations from our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, were very clear and enjoyable! With the sunset and starry sky as a backdrop, we were able to take beautiful photos, allowing me to remember that scenery anytime, even while in Japan. He pointed out the stars with a laser, making it easy to understand which stars belonged to which constellations. We also had fun conversations during the car ride to and from the site.

Next time, I want to bring my parents along, and I would love to request Mr. Yamamoto as our guide again at Masashi Nature School!

The moment I looked up at the night sky, the words that came out of my mouth were, "I can't believe I can see a sky full of stars in real life, something I've only ever seen in a planetarium." Everyone in the tour group was expressing the same sentiment all around. We had a casual stargazing study session, and when I showed my friends the commemorative photos with the starry background, they asked, "Isn't that a composite image?" It became a wonderful memory along with the sunset at the Subaru Telescope.

夜空を見上げた瞬間に口からでた言葉です。今までプラネタリウムの世界でしか見たことのなかった満天の星をリアルに本当に夜空で見れるなんて。ツアー同伴者の皆さんも同じ言葉をアッチコッチで発していました。にわかの星座勉強会、あとで友人に見せたら「合成でしょ？」と言われた星空バックの記念写真など。スバル天文台の夕日とともに素晴らしい思い出作りとなりました。

Reviewed by: Ayumi

From start to finish, everything was taken into consideration, so I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The sunset over the sea of clouds was simply magnificent. This view was so far removed from everyday life that it felt almost like being in heaven, truly surreal. The starry sky was filled with so many stars that I couldn't even recognize the constellations, and I forgot the cold, overwhelmed by awe.

I didn't bring my camera, but the guide took high-quality photos, allowing me to take home wonderful memories. It's great that they are available for free download. They even showed us Saturn through a telescope. It was interesting how they explained the climate and geography of the Big Island while we were in the car, showcasing the changing scenery.

It was very cold at the summit, so the warm clothing was truly appreciated. This is a must-have. Even those who are sensitive to the cold can enjoy themselves comfortably if they have warm shoes. The lunch came with miso soup, and the cookies at the summit were a nice touch. I felt very lucky to have come to Mauna Kea and to have participated in this tour. Thank you very much.

最初から最後まで全部配慮されていたので、私は安心して感動役ができました。なんといっても雲海の夕日がすばらしかったです。この景色は日常から遠く離れすぎていて、まるで天国にいるかのように幻想的でした。星空は星座が分からない程びっしり星が散らばっていて、寒さも忘れて感嘆の声を上げてしましました。

カメラを持っていかなかったのですが、ガイドの方が高品質のカメラで撮影してくださったので、楽しみを持ち帰ることができました。無料でダウンロードできるのがまた素敵です。望遠鏡で土星も見せてくれました。車の中でもハワイ島の気候や地理を、変わっていく景色を見せながら説明してくださるのがおもしろかったです。

山頂はとっても寒かったので、防寒着は本当にありがたかったです 。これは必須ですね。冷え性の人も、靴の防寒さえしてくれば、快適に過ごせるでしょう。お弁当もお味噌汁つきでしたし、山頂のクッキーもうれしかったです。

I appreciate the spirit. 心意気が嬉しい

Reviewed by: 北の縄文人

The weather on this day was not great, and the visitor center was shrouded in clouds. I felt a bit anxious as everything was completely white, but thanks to my wife's handmade teru teru bozu, perhaps? The summit was beautifully clear! There were clouds at high altitudes, so we were able to witness an emotional sunset with a sea of clouds nearby.

The very enjoyable guide eased my worries about whether we would be able to observe the starry sky. What moved me unexpectedly was the conversation among the guides. Since the weather was bad that day, they were discussing how to provide information to ensure that the people on the tour at the mid-mountain could observe the starry sky in the best possible way. I was touched by the words, "We absolutely cannot afford to fail." Although the bad weather was not the guides' responsibility, many visitors to the Big Island may only come once in a lifetime. I was happy to feel that they were sincerely considering the unspoken hopes of the tourists and were searching for points where we could definitely see the stars.

Even though they must have seen this scenery many times, their excitement and emotional reactions were beyond that of the tourists, which helped to loosen and release my own heart, which often struggles to express emotions in daily life. Their spirit of genuinely wanting to create enjoyable memories and the guides' heartfelt enjoyment and excitement allowed us to truly feel and enjoy the experience as well.

The stunning starry sky could be captured by digital cameras, and if you ask the guide, they will adjust the settings for you. My camera couldn't take pictures of the starry sky, but the guide chose the best spots for photography that day. The photos taken can be downloaded for free, which is very appreciated. If you wish, they can also take a picture of your zodiac sign. With so many stars, it can be difficult to find it on your own, but with a professional's skill, it's perfect!

On the way back, we stopped at the visitor center for a restroom break, and it was completely clear, allowing us to see another magnificent starry sky.

The miso soup was delicious, and if I ever have the chance to visit the Big Island again, I would like to participate in a tour with Masashi Nature School.

この日は天候がいまひとつで、ビジターセンターは雲の中。
どこまで行っても真っ白で不安もありましたが、奥さんお手製のテルテル坊主の御蔭か？

とても楽しいガイドに、星空観測できるのだろうか？という不安を消し飛ばしてくれます。なにげに感動したのは、ガイドさんどうしの会話です。
この日は天候が悪かったので、中腹で星空をみるツアーの人達もベストな形で星空観測できる様、情報提供しながら話し合っている様子。そこでの「絶対に失敗は許されないから～」という言葉。
悪天気はガイドさん達の責任ではないものの、一生に一度しか来られないであろう人が多いハワイ島。その声に出さない観光客の思いをしっかり受けて、確実に星空が見られるポイントを探してくれている気持ちが、嬉しかったです。

何度も見ているであろうこの景色も、観光客以上のテンションで感動する姿は、日常生活で固まって上手く感動を表現できない心をほぐし、解き放つきっかけとなりました。
本当に楽しい思いで作りをサポートしようという心意気と、心から自分も感動し楽しんでいるガイドさんの心を受け、私達も心から感動し楽しむ事が出来ました。

感動的な星空は、カメラによってデジカメでも写せるものがあり、ガイドさんにお願いすると調整してくれます。
私のカメラは星空の写真は撮れませんでしたが、ガイドさんがその日の最高の場所を選んで撮影してくれます。撮って頂いた写真は無料でダウンロードできるのでとても有り難いです。
希望すると自分の星座も撮ってくれます。あまりの☆の多さに自分ではうまく探す事さえも困難ですが、プロの腕にかかればバッチリです♪

Reviewed by: Ms Williams

I truly enjoyed the birdwatching trip. Our guide, Mark, was fantastic -- he educated us on the birds we would hopefully see and was helpful with questions about other wildlife in the area. I also enjoyed meeting the rest of the group on the tour -- wish I would have thought to exchange contact information to get some of the photos one couple was taking during the trip.

Absolutely beautiful! 最高にキレイ♪

Reviewed by: ともとも

I'm glad I was able to see many beautiful stars that I can't see in Japan! I was really surprised by how cold it was, but I truly got to enjoy the stunning scenery. My whole family was delighted. I want to go see it again!

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

Horseback riding 乗馬

Reviewed by: neru

The tour we booked had only our group of Japanese participants. The rest were all from Europe and America. The guide spoke English, but also communicated a few words in Japanese. My husband, who was riding a horse for the first time, was initially scared but gradually got used to it and enjoyed himself. We crossed a river up to our knees on horseback, which is an experience you definitely can't have in Japan. 2.5 hours was just enough. However, there were safety instructions in Japanese at the waiting area after the horseback riding, so I thought it would have been more reassuring if they had explained that to us since we don't speak English.

予約したツアーは日本人が私たち１組のみでした。
あとはすべて欧米の方。
ガイドも英語でしたが、片言単語で日本語をしゃべってくれました。
乗馬初めての夫も最初は怖がってましたが徐々に慣れてきて、楽しめました。
ひざ上までの川を馬で渡ったり、日本では絶対経験できません。
2.5時間で充分でした。
ただ、乗馬後の待機場所に日本語で乗馬時の注意事項があったので、英語が話せない
私たちにこれを読んでと説明があったらもっと安心できたのにと思いました。

I was moved by the starry sky. 満天の星空に感動

Reviewed by: Nobu

My wife and I participated together. I had visited Oahu three times before, but it was my first time on the Big Island. The main purpose of my first trip to the Big Island was this tour of the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset." I was worried about altitude sickness, but the guide explained how to avoid it while we were in the car, so there were no issues. However, I did get a bit out of breath when moving around at the summit, but the breathtaking starry sky, unlike anything I had ever seen before, made me forget my breathlessness. I was able to see the Milky Way and learned for the first time that starlight illuminates the ground. This is a tour I would love to join again if I have the opportunity to go to the Big Island.

　妻と２人で参加しました。これまでオアフ島は３度訪れたことはありましたが、ハワイ島は初めてです。初ハワイ島の最大の目的は、「マウナケア山頂サンセット」のこのツアーでした。高山病が不安でしたが、車内でガイドさんが高山病を回避する方法を説明してくれて問題ありませんでした。ただ、山頂で少し動くと息切れがしましたが、これまで見たこともない満天の星空は、息切れを忘れる程の美しさでした。天の川を見ることができ、星あかりが地上を照らすことを初めて知りました。ハワイ島に行く機会があれば再び参加したいツアーです。

As expected of the highest elevation in the Pacific! さすが太平洋一の標高！

If you're going to the Big Island, you definitely want to climb!
They provide hotel pick-up, lend you warm clothing, and even take memorable photos!
The weather was great on the day we participated, and we were able to see a perfect starry sky.
We even saw Saturn!!

ハワイ島に行くなら、必ず登りたい！
ホテル送迎付きで、防寒着も貸してくれて、思い出の写真撮影もしてくれる！
私たちの参加した日は気候も良く、満点の星空を見ることもできました。
土星も見れましたよ！！

The starry sky is wonderful! 星空が素晴らしい！

Reviewed by: hiyoko

I used this for my honeymoon in late October. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day, and we couldn't see the sunset very well... There were also hardly any stars visible. After waiting anxiously for 30 minutes... suddenly the clouds cleared, and an astonishing starry sky spread out before us! There was also a funny incident where our guide got caught speeding by the police, but he was released with the amusing condition of writing a reflection letter^^;

It seems there are observation tours around the Onizuka Center, but this tour takes you higher up for observation, so the stars feel closer and more impressive! We also had plenty of time.

I highly recommend it.

10月下旬にハネムーンで利用しました。
当日はあいにくの雲で、サンセットはあまりきれいに見れず・・・
星もほとんど見えない状態でした。
不安な気持ちで待つこと３０分・・・突然雲が晴れてきて驚くような星空が目の前に広がりました！
ガイドさんが慌てていたのか、途中で速度違反で警察に捕まるというハプニングもありましたが、反省文を書けばＯＫという面白い条件で解放されました^^;

オニヅカセンターあたりで観測するツアーもあるようですが、このツアーはそれより上で観測させてくれるので、星空が近くて迫力あります！
時間もたっぷりありました。

オススメです。

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

1.5-hour long trail １．５時間のロングトレイル

Reviewed by: やっち

I used to be a cowboy in Canada, and it had been a while since I rode a horse.

We rode on an incredibly large ranch of 1,800 acres, galloping along with the horses. A man from Virginia who joined me was a beginner, but with the careful lessons, he was able to ride very well.

I was able to trot and canter, and I was really satisfied that I could also change the speed and direction to some extent.

I couldn't bring my two-year-old daughter this time, but I hope to take her someday. It seems like it's okay from the age of eight!

昔、カナダでカウボーイをやっていたこともあり
久しぶりの乗馬でした。

1800エーカーというありえない巨大な牧場を舞台に
どんどん馬を走らせて行きます。
私と一緒に参加したバージニア出身の男性は初心者でしたが、丁寧なレッスンのもと
非常に上手に乗り越すことが出来るようになってました。

トロッティングやキャンタもやらせて頂き、
また、ある程度はスピードや道なりも変えて走らせて頂き本当に満足。

今回は２歳の娘はつれて来れなかったですが、
いつかのせてあげたいな。８歳からOKみたいですよ！

Very satisfied, the best ⭐ 大満足、最高⭐

Reviewed by: SUZUKI

The main purpose of my trip to the Big Island was sunset star gazing.

I was completely satisfied with everything. Our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was so much fun that there was no time to fall asleep in the car; it was an enjoyable ride.

We took various photos along the way, and the clear guidance made for many wonderful memories.

The dinner included warm miso soup and a bento that made me question if I was really in Hawaii; I was surprised.

They even provided tea, cocoa, and cookies—everything was taken care of.

The star gazing felt like a planetarium with the laser pointer.

Next time, I will participate with my husband, and I look forward to it!

ハワイ島の第一の目的でした、サンセットに星観測。

全てに大満足
ガイドの山本さん、とっても楽しいガイドで車内で寝てしまうような暇がないほど
楽しい車内でした

途中色々写真を撮って頂き、分かりやすいガイドで想い出もいっぱいです。。

夕食も温かいお味噌汁、ここはハワイ島？と疑うようなお弁当で、びっくりしました。

お茶やココア、クッキーまで至れり尽くせりでした

星観測はレーザーポイントでまるでプラネタリウムです


次回は心新たに主人と参加します、その節は宜しくお願いします
