マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

I'm glad I participated! 参加して良かった!

Reviewed by: KIKUMA

We participated with four adults, including my son and his wife. Since it was a full moon night, I was worried about whether we would be able to see the starry sky, but it turned out to be a great decision. When we were looking at the stars, the moon had not yet risen, and after taking photos of the starry sky, the moon appeared. The sight of the full moon rising above the clouds was magical and just as moving as the starry sky. Since it was an English guide, I couldn't understand everything, but I appreciated that our guide, James, made an effort to use some Japanese.

息子夫婦を含む大人4人で参加しました。
満月の日だったので星空が綺麗に見えるか心配しましたが結果的に大正解でした。星空を見てる時は月はまだ出ておらず、星空を見て写真を撮って頂いた後に月が出てきました。雲の上から満月が出てくる様は幻想的で星空と同じくらい感動しました。英語ガイドなので全て理解する事は出来ませんでしたが、ガイドのジェームズが使える日本語は使おうという努力をしてくれ感謝です。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide

Great memories were made!

Reviewed by: TL

Tour guide was informative. Ride was comfortable. BLT bacon was really good. Veggie burger was more filling than the BLT. Stargazing was minimal due to full moon but fun. Best not to go during around full moon time. Download a star app like Night Sky to help enhance the experience. Dress for cold wind. You are going to want to take a lot of pictures so if if your hands get cold easily, bring mitts!

The guide was entirely in English, but since the guide was of Japanese descent, I was very grateful for the simple Japanese explanations provided. I was very satisfied to see the beautiful sunset and starry sky. I rated it one star less because I wouldn't be able to obtain the photos taken unless I posted this review (it seems that posting a review is mandatory when booking through Veltra).

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide

Excellent Tour Guide, Some disappointment

Reviewed by: L&H

No doubt of the beauty of Hawaii and God’s Creation. Tour Guide (Francis) was excellent…knowledgeable, fun and caring (we had one participant having trouble with altitude so had to return to welcome center taking about 1 hour of the group’s time to go back and travel back up, however, care extended by Francis is to be commended).
Disappointed in that part of the tour was to look through a telescope (explicitly listed as part of the tour) but that did not happen. Vans were “dated” but did the job. Overpriced in our opinion of what the experience provided.

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

Good guide but fell slightly short of expectations

Reviewed by: Mama Bear

I was disappointed with this tour for lack of hospitality, communication and false advertising. The tour guide is not an astronomer or someone who writes articles for astronomy mazagines or even a local Hawaiian. They are very knowledgeable, patient and friendly guides but also lack communication with the tour company. For instance, we had 10 people in our tour and they were told only 6 so he wasn’t prepared with enough hot chocolate or parkas. It may also be the reason he didn’t offer snacks or water to anyone and tried to get more people to drink coffee at 9 pm! I was also disappointed that we didn’t go to the Kona coffee farm as advertised in the itinerary and confirmed when they called. You also have to select your meal prior to arrival or seeing the options which is undesirable. Finally, when they called to confirm they told me not to bring anything - no water, jacket, hiking boots etc since all would be provided and tennis shoes were enough. First off, I came prepared with everything in my luggage but since they said not to bring a big bag or too many items we were underprepared. My son was freezing because the parkas are huge and they were passed out but left for people to get when they were freezing. Our tennis were covered in dirt and sand because we stopped at a beach and walked the sand. I would have to be informed in advance that we’re going to a beach and not the coffee farm and to have proper attire. The stargazing was nice and we saw a lot of stars and constellations but it was not pleasant because of the lack of preparation. I do not recommend this tour. If you book, don’t listen to their advice and come prepared with attire, water and snacks on top of the exorbitant price you pay. Or you could ask to go with the tour that matches the advertisement but I tried that already. Heed the warning. I didn’t and while we don’t regret it we regret the company.

The air at 4,207 meters was very clear and delicious, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset! A little lower down, I was able to observe the starry sky, and I saw shooting stars and satellites. The cocoa provided was also very tasty, and this was an activity that is hard to experience in Japan, including the environment! The guide was a local person who explained things in both Japanese and English, so I was able to enjoy the tour without any difficulties.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour マウナケア山頂サンセットと星空ツアー

Reviewed by: ツナミエバキュエーター

The summit was very clear, and both the sunset and the starry sky were beautiful, which made me very satisfied. Since it was a crescent moon, it was 70% visible, so I could see it well, but with a full moon, the moonlight makes it harder to see the stars, so it might be good to check the moon's condition. There were eight Japanese participants, so we had a guide who spoke Japanese, which made it stress-free and very enjoyable.

山頂はとても澄んでいてサンセットも星空もとてもきれいで、とても満足しました。三日月だったので70%の見え方だったのでよく見られましたが、満月だと月の光で星はみえにくくなるので、月の状態を確認するのもいいのかも。日本人が8人参加したので、日本語ができるガイドさんで、ストレスがなくとてもよかったです。

A life-changing experience 人生を変える体験

Reviewed by: jasmine

I was moved to discover such a beautiful place on Earth. I'm glad I decided to participate.

I had always wanted to climb Mauna Kea, but since it's a difficult place to reach on my own, I joined a tour.

The breathtaking views at Mauna Kea are beyond words, enveloped in a quiet atmosphere that made time feel like it was stretching on, creating a sense of immersion.

The transformation from the blue sky in the afternoon to the sunset and then to the starry sky was magical, and it was so beautiful that it took my breath away.

The tour was conducted in English, but our tour guide, Shoyou, also provided explanations in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

The light snack sandwiches were served near the summit rather than at the visitor center, and it was delicious to eat while watching the sunset!

The most enjoyable part was the stargazing. With the telescope provided, I was able to see the beautiful moon and stars, and the guide carefully explained how to identify the constellations and their origins, making for a very meaningful and fun experience.

I truly recommend this to anyone who is considering participating! Thank you very much.

地球上にこんな美しい場所があるのかと感動しました。思い切って参加して良かったです。

もともとマウナケアに登ってみたいと思っていましたが、自力で行くのは難しい場所のためツアーに参加しました。

マウナケアは言葉で表現できないくらい美しい絶景を見ることができ、静かな空気に包まれていて時が経つのが長く感じられ、没入感がありました。

午後の青空からサンセット、そして星空へと表情を変えていく様子は幻想的で、ため息が出るほど美しかったです。

ツアーは英語での催行ですが、ツアーガイドのしょうようさんが別途日本語でもご案内をしてくださったので、分かりやすかったです。

あと軽食のサンドイッチは、ビジターセンターではなく山頂付近で提供いただきましたが、夕陽を見ながら食べられて美味しかったです!

特に楽しかったのは天体観測です。ご用意頂いていた望遠鏡で、美しい月や星を見ることができたり、満点の星空に浮かぶ星座の見方や由来を丁寧に説明してくれたりと、とても有意義で楽しい体験ができました。

参加を迷われている方にも本当におすすめします!

We participated as a family of four. The other three members were beginners at horseback riding, but the staff was very attentive, and above all, the horses are smart, which made us feel at ease. The trail for the outdoor ride offers beautiful scenery with views of the sea, forests, hills, and rivers. They also take photos at a stunning viewpoint with the sea in the background, so even if you don't have the time to take pictures yourself, you can relax. During the ride, they provide explanations about the plants and animals. Although it's not a Japanese tour, if you can manage everyday conversation in English, you'll be able to enjoy the conversation fully.

Reviewed by: つぐー

It's a tour without a Japanese guide, but you can enjoy it without any problems.

First, there is a lecture about horseback riding. Then, each child gets to ride a horse, and they are very gentle, so my son had no issues riding.

We lined up and went through the grasslands, moving into the woods. Along the way, there were horses grazing, which was very cute.

After passing through the woods, we took a break at the waterfall basin. You can wear your swimsuit in advance and swim in the river or ride a paddle boat. We had about 30 minutes, so we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.

After the break, we returned the way we came, and the tour ended. The entire experience was in English, and I didn't understand most of the explanations along the way, but the experience itself was very good!

日本語ガイドが居ないツアーですが、問題無く楽しめます。

最初に乗馬についてのレクチャーがあります。続いて子供も1人一頭馬に乗りますが、とても大人しいので息子も問題無く乗っていました。

一列に並んで草原を抜け、林へと進みます。途中草を喰む馬も居てとても可愛かったです。

林を抜けて滝つぼの所で休憩。予め水着を着ておいて川で泳いだりパドルボートに乗ることが出来ます。30分ほど時間があるのでゆっくり楽しめました。

The tour included a visit to the Onizuka Visitor Center, sunset viewing at the summit, a tour of various observatories from around the world, stargazing at the best spots, and sandwiches. At the summit, a sea of clouds spread out, and the sunset behind the observatory painted the clouds in shades of crimson, which was incredibly beautiful. The countless stars filling the sky were a sight that could only be seen by coming this far, and it was truly moving. Additionally, our guide, Mr. Shoyou, was Japanese, so his explanations about the night sky were easy to understand, and he was supportive in every aspect. The rental of warm clothing was also very helpful.

However, thanks to our guide, Shoyou, who diligently searched for spots to view the sunset and stars and provided detailed explanations, I was able to participate enjoyably.

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

Magical stargazing tour!

Reviewed by: Steph

We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers, we had a great time with our guide at the stargazing tour. Our highlights were the lava caves, watching the sunset as well as stargazing. The sky was unbelievable and we learned a ton with our very knowledgeable guide.

Highly recommend.

A starry sky and a beautiful sunset. 満天の星空と美しいサンセット

Reviewed by: ピカ

The guide was fluent in Japanese and talked about altitude sickness measures and various topics during the ride, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. The weather was great, and it was the best experience. I want to go to Hawaii Island again! Next time, I want to join the sunrise tour! ☺︎

The tour was excellent with abundant knowledge and in Japanese. 豊富な知識と日本語でのツアー最高

Reviewed by: 目黒チーム

I signed up for the tour because there was only an English option, but it seems a certain number of Japanese participants gathered, and they held a Japanese tour for us. I was glad to receive explanations in Japanese about altitude sickness and the stars, which were quite specialized. Our guide, Sho-chan, was friendly and made it enjoyable. The timing for the sunset and stargazing was perfect, and I'm really glad I participated in the tour.

英語でのツアーしかなかったので申し込みましたが、日本人参加者が一定数集まったそうで日本人むけの日本語ツアーを開催してくださいました。高山病へのアテンションや星の説明など専門的な話を日本語で説明受けれてよかったです。ガイドのしょうちゃんはフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
サンセットの時間や星空観測などの時間配分も完璧でツアーで参加してよかったです。

Tips and suggestions

Even in mid-summer, the summit can be below freezing, so bringing warm clothing is essential. I brought a fleece, and even though I was lent a down jacket, it was still cold.

Tips and suggestions

真夏での参加でも山頂はマイナスになるので防寒具の持参が必須です。フリースを持参して、ダウンジャケットを貸してくださっても寒かったです。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Need to know basis

Reviewed by: DanMar

Just got back from our tour, but if you're questioning of splurging, take these into consideration: these are based on my experience tonight.

1) liking the convenience of a tour guide driving to the summit. But if the sunset view is what you’re after- you can drive to the summit yourself. Everyone follows the rule of leaving the observatory after sunset. Totally understandable. STUNNNNING views. Keep in mind it’s gravel paved and quite treacherous at night- but doable.

2) huge upset: if stargazing is what you’re after- like me. I was disappointed that they only show THREE views through telescope. Three. That’s it. First was a cluster of random stars. Second, after math of a super nova. Third was millions of stars what believed to be pulled in by a black hole. Amazing stuff, but that’s all you get. I was reading other previous reviews and they seem to enjoy more bang for their buck. The tour guide did go over the constellations using a laser and showed some stars in the sky without needing the telescope- but if you’re wanting to see planets, stars up close, we were limited to three.

3) food was okay- salty lasagna. Just save some few bucks and bring your own food.

4) bundle up-long sleeve and pants, close toe shoes is a must. It gets cold at night. They do offer parkas and gloves.


Would I want to do this again? Not after tonight. It was overpriced for what they offer.

Gift from the Snow Goddess Polyahfu 雪の女神ポリアフからの贈り物

Reviewed by: るーはーち

I had been to the visitor center in the past, but this time I participated in the sunset and stargazing tour at the summit for the first time. In conclusion, I was very satisfied with my participation! I highly recommend it!

There were more participants than I expected, and we departed in two cars. The cars were divided between foreigners and Japanese participants, and our driver was Japanese, who communicated clearly and kept the conversation enjoyable throughout the trip. Despite the large number of people, I felt that the service was not lacking, and efforts were made to ensure everyone could enjoy the experience.

We brought down jackets, gloves, and hats, but they provided very warm rental gear, so I think it's fine if you don't bring anything. Each group had several photos taken, and they captured wonderful pictures for us. During the sunset, I felt the power with my whole body, and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the starry sky shining all around.

I also got to see a very cute semicircular rainbow next to the summit of Mauna Kea. It was a tour filled with emotion, a gift from the snow goddess Poliahu. If you are going to the Big Island, I definitely recommend participating!

過去にビジターセンターまで行ったことはありましたが、今回初めて山頂でのサンセットと星空観測のツアーに参加しました。
結論、参加して大満足です!おすすめします!
参加人数が思ったより多く、車2台で出発。
車は外国の方と日本人とに分けられ、私たちのドライバーは日本の方で、とてもわかりやすく楽しくずっと話してくださいました。
人数が多いから…とサービスが手薄にならず、すべての人が楽しめるように工夫されていたと思います。
私たちはダウンや手袋、帽子は持参しましたが、とても暖かそうな防寒具の貸し出しがあるので何も持っていかなくても大丈夫だと思います。
写真もそれぞれのグループで何枚も撮影してくださり、素敵な写真を撮ってくださいました。
サンセットでは体全身でパワーを感じ、夜空一面に輝く星空には自然の雄大さに圧倒されました。
またマウナケア山頂の横にとてもかわいい半円の虹を見ることができました。
雪の女神ポリアフからの贈り物に、感動ばかりのツアーでした。
ぜひハワイ島に行かれるなら参加して欲しいです。

Tips and suggestions

I think it's a good idea to bring hats and ear warmers. Since we will be climbing a high mountain, it can feel a bit overwhelming until you get used to it, so it's important to move comfortably and to

Tips and suggestions

帽子や耳当ては持参されても良いかと思います。高い山に登るので慣れるまではやはりフワッとしたりするので、無理なく動くこと、もし体調不良になればすぐにドライバーに伝える事が大事だと思います。

  • マウナケア山頂に左側にかわいい虹

  • 山頂サンセット
