Naalapa Stables Kohala Horseback Riding Tour on Kahua Ranch

Great time in Kona

Reviewed by: Tracy

I chose to do this adventure for my birthday while we were in Kona. Melissa, our guide, was wonderful. She did a great job of sharing all of the history of the ranch and also the local sites. The horses were matched to us perfectly. I'm an experienced rider so really enjoyed having a horse that was spunky! We were able to trot and canter and Melissa was very attentive. If we go back to Hawaii we will definitely do this again!!!

A starry sky. 満天の星空

Reviewed by: ぴよこ

On October 20th, I boarded the Nakane-san bus.

I was worried about altitude sickness, but Nakane-san taught us various things like how to drink water and precautions, and as long as I followed his advice, I was fine.

The sunset sinking into the clouds was truly beautiful, and I think it's worth seeing at least once. The "shadow of the Earth" that I saw after the sunset was very beautiful and left a strong impression on me. Nakane-san took a silhouette photo of a newlywed couple with the sunset in the background, and it turned out so beautifully that it became a memorable picture from their honeymoon. I have it set as my phone wallpaper and PC desktop image.

During the stargazing afterward, even though the moon was bright, I was still able to see many stars. Lying on the ground and looking up at the star-filled sky, I could see the Milky Way and even satellites with the naked eye! We also took photos with the starry sky in the background, creating wonderful memories that will be cherished both in memory and in record.

As for clothing, I wore:
On top: Heattech long sleeves → sweatshirt → Uniqlo light down → borrowed down jacket
On the bottom: Heattech tights → long pants → borrowed pants
This was just right for me (I tend to get hot, so it was a bit chilly). My husband, who gets cold easily, borrowed a hat and gloves and used a heat pack he brought from Japan.

I also appreciated the thoughtfulness of being offered warm drinks during dinner and while stargazing. Thank you, Nakane-san! I made such wonderful memories.

１０月２０日ナカネさん号に乗車しました。

高山病が心配でしたが、ナカネさんが水の飲み方や注意事項など色々教えて下さるので、その通りにしていたら大丈夫でした。

雲に沈む夕陽は本当にキレイで一度は見てみる価値があると思います。私は夕陽が沈んだ後に見た『地球の影』がとてもキレイで印象に残りました。ナカネさんが新婚のカップルに夕陽をバックに２人が見つめ合うシルエットの写真を撮って下さったのですが、それがとてもキレイで新婚旅行の思い出の１枚となっています。携帯の待ち受けとＰＣのデスクトップ画像にしています。

その後の星空観測、月が明るかったのですがそれでもたくさんの星を見ることが出来ました。地面に寝転がって見る満天の星空、天の川や人工衛星まで肉眼で見えました！星空をバックにした写真も撮っていただき、記憶にも記録にも残るステキな思い出となりました。

服装ですが、
上はヒートテックの長袖→トレーナー→ユニクロのライトダウン→貸してもらったダウン
下はヒートテックのタイツ→長ズボン→貸してもらったズボン
でちょうど良かったです。（暑がりの私でやや寒いくらいかな。）寒がりの夫はさらに帽子と手袋を貸してもらい、日本から持参したカイロを貼っていました。

夜ご飯や星空観測の時にあたたかい飲み物を出して下さる心遣いもうれしかったです。ナカネさんありがとうございました！とってもステキな思い出が出来ました。

I was worried about altitude sickness, but the staff's explanations and support made me feel at ease during the stargazing. The tour with Masashi, who even lends you pants because it gets really cold at the summit, is great. It seems that the stars visible change with the seasons, so I would like to go again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

高山病の不安があったのですが、スタッフの方の説明や対応で安心して星空観察できました。山頂は本当に寒いので、ズボンまで貸してくれるマサシさんのツアーは良いです。

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

I felt like going for a walk. 散歩気分でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated on the morning of October 16. The weather was nice, and I leisurely explored the valley while swaying on horseback.

I was worried about the language barrier since it was only in English, but there were no issues as they explained things with gestures. (I needed a bit more English for check-in than for riding the horse. Basically, it was fine to just hand over the voucher, but I think I was told something like "Go to the restroom" and "We'll leave at 9:30, so be around here.")

By the way, the meeting place was a very stylish shop with many wonderful items that you wouldn't find in the city. (There were lots of designer pieces.)

After descending a steep slope in a 4WD, we entered a quiet valley. I got on the horse from there, and although I was tense and stiff at first, I quickly got into the groove within five minutes. I was able to enjoy walking through the river where the horse's belly was submerged in water and leisurely taking in the scenery.

Although I couldn't communicate perfectly in English, the guide was cheerful and kind, explaining fruits along the way and taking pictures at the viewpoints, which I appreciated.

I think just bringing a camera is sufficient. There isn't much opportunity to drink water while riding. I also didn't need sunglasses since there was a nice amount of shade from the trees.

10月16日の午前中に参加しました。
天気も良く、のんびりと馬の背にゆられて渓谷を散策してきました。

英語のみ、ということで心配でしたが身振り手振りで説明してくれたので問題なかったです。
（馬の乗り方より、チェックインのほうが少し英語が必要でした。基本的にバウチャーを渡すだけで大丈夫ですが「トイレに行っといて」と「9：30に出発するからそこらへんにいて」と言われたような気がします。）

ちなみに集合場所のお店はとてもおしゃれなお店で
街中で売っていないようなすてきなものがたくさんおいてありました。（デザイナーの作品とかがたくさんありました。）

四駆で急こう配の坂を降りると静かな渓谷の中になります。
そこから馬に乗りましたが、はじめは緊張してガチガチだったものの5分もすればすっかり調子づいてきて、馬のお腹が水につかる位の川の中を歩いたり、のんびり景色をながめたりして楽しむことができました。

英語なので上手な意思疎通はできませんでしたが、それでも途中果物の説明をしてくれたり、ビューポイントで写真をとってくれたりとガイドの方も陽気で親切にしてくださりよかったと思います。

持ち物はカメラだけで十分だと思います。
馬に乗っているときは水を飲む余裕はあまりないですので。
私はサングラスも不要でした。ほどよく木陰がありましたので。

Breathtaking Mauna Kea Sunset and Shooting Stars 絶景マウナケアサンセットと流れ星

Reviewed by: 一人旅のカメラ小僧

On September 29, I participated alone. I never expected to see a sunset at an altitude of over 4,000 meters, higher than Mount Fuji. The fact that we could drive to the summit made it very appealing, especially since I have no climbing experience. Thanks to the advice from our guide, Chizuko, I didn't have to worry about altitude sickness (laughs), and in front of me was a wonderful sunset... I truly had an amazing time.

That night was a full moon, so the night sky was a bit too bright for stargazing, but when our guide Chizuko pointed out the stars with a laser pointer, we saw a shooting star in that exact spot for a brief moment...☆. It was a very interesting moment where all participants got to see the shooting star.

I was able to create the best memories on my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. Thank you very much. I will definitely go back to the Big Island~♪

９月２９日、男一人で参加いたしました。
富士山よりも高い標高４０００メートルを超える山の山頂でサンセットを見れるなんて思ってもいませんでした。
山頂まで車で移動するので登山経験がない私でも安心して参加できるのがとても魅力でした。
心配していた高山病もガイドの千鶴子さんのアドバイスのお陰で大丈夫（笑）、そして目の前では素晴らしいサンセット・・・。ほんとに素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。
この日は満月ともあって星空観測にはちょっと明かる過ぎの夜空でしたが、ガイドの千鶴子さんがレーザーポインターで星空を差した瞬間、ちょうどその場所に短い時間でしたが流れ星が・・・☆。参加者皆が流れ星を見れるという非常に面白い場面もありました。
初めてのハワイ島で最高の思い出作ることができました。ありがとうございました。
またハワイ島に行きます~♪

A wonderful sky show. 素晴らしき天空のショー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My worries about the cold turned out to be unfounded, and I was captivated by the ever-changing sky show without suffering from a lack of oxygen. Unfortunately, when the sunset occurred, clouds obscured the view, and I couldn't see the sun sinking into the sea of clouds, but the beauty of the surrounding clouds dyed in shades of crimson was beyond words.

I was also impressed by the guide's meticulous attention to detail, and I would love to participate again. Next time, I definitely want to enjoy the sunset.

心配していた寒さは杞憂におわり、また酸素の欠乏に苦しまず刻々と変わる天空のショーに酔いしれました。夕陽が沈むときあいにく雲がかかり雲海に沈む太陽は見れませんでしたが周囲の茜色に染まった雲の美しかったこと筆舌に尽くせません。
またガイドさんの細かな配慮にも感服しまた参加したいと思っております。次回はぜひ夕陽の沈むところを鑑賞したいと思っております。

Horseback riding with my daughter. 母娘で乗馬

Reviewed by: ともこヨーコ

I participated with my mother, who is over 60. The male instructor stayed close to my mother almost the entire time, which was somewhat reassuring, but my mother regretted trying horseback riding just a few minutes into it (laughs). However, by the time she got used to it, she had a bit of a smile, and on the way back, she said, "I'm glad I did it!"

There were about 10 people in our group, and we were the only Japanese. All the explanations were in English, but they shouted out the necessary Japanese, so I didn't find it too inconvenient.

As for the helmets, I thought everyone would wear them, but it turned out we were the only ones wearing them, and they were quite smelly, so personally, I think it would have been fine not to wear them. They really stank...

Also, my mother was in agony from the muscle soreness that came two days after riding. The experience was quite physically demanding, so for those who want to enjoy everything, it can be a lot of fun.

60過ぎた母と2人で参加しました。
男性インストラクターが、ほぼずーっと母の近くにいてくれたので、やや安心でしたが、初の乗馬に母は、開始数分で後悔したそうです（笑）
でも、慣れてきた頃には少し笑顔もあり、帰りには"やってよかったー''と言ってました。
1グループ10名位で日本人は私達のみ。
説明もすべて英語ですが、必須の日本語は叫んで（笑）くれるので、あまり不便とは思いませんでした。
また、ヘルメットですが、みんなカブるのかと思いきや、私達しかカブっておらず、かなり汗臭かったので、個人的にはカブらなくてもよかったかなぁと思いました。ほんとに臭いです…
あと、乗馬した2日後にきた筋肉痛には、母は悶絶していました。
内容的にはけっこうハードなところもあるので、なんでも楽しみたいと思ってる方には最高に楽しめます。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Good trip that could have perfect

Reviewed by: Larry

The food was not very good this time. I didn't get the choice I requested on their website (beef) and instead got cold/dry chicken. I went with Forest and Trails since I used them for this tour the last time I was on the Big Island. The last time we stopped near the Ranger station and were allowed to go in and look at the exhibits, this time we parked in a remote corner and were too far away. The views were amazing and well worth the little issues that came up.

A starry sky and the Milky Way. 満天の星空と天の川

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Last time, I couldn't make a reservation and joined an English tour. While the explanations and other aspects were the same, there was no luxurious service like having staff take group photos at the summit or a group photo with the night sky as a backdrop. A friend living in Hawaii mentioned they had been to the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy located halfway up Mauna Kea, but the sunset from the summit is truly magnificent. Since the center gets quite crowded with the general public visiting for stargazing, it was impossible to lie down and observe the stars at the observation point like in this tour. I was deeply moved by this incredibly luxurious experience. It was a new moon, so I was able to gaze at a sky full of stars and the Milky Way while lying down, and I realized once again that Earth is just one part of the universe by participating in this tour.

前回は予約が取れなくて英語のツアーに参加しました。説明その他は変わらないのですが、集合写真や頂上でのグループごとの写真や夜空をバックにした写真をスタッフの方が撮ってくれるような至れり尽くせりのサービスはありませんでした。
ハワイに住んでいる知人はマウナケア中腹にあるオニヅカ記念センターまでは行ったことがあるようでしたが、やはり山頂からのサンセットは素晴らしいですし（記念センターは一般の方も星空観測に訪れるので結構込んでいるため）今回のツアーのように、観測地点で寝転がって星空の観測は無理であるため、とっても贅沢な経験をさせてもらったと感激しました。丁度、新月だったので、本当に降るような満天の星空と天の川を寝転びながら眺め、地球って宇宙の一つなんだな。。。と、このツアーに参加して改めて感じました。

I was torn between choosing the 2.5-hour plan or the private 2.5-hour plan, but in the end, I signed up for the 2.5-hour plan. However, when we arrived on the day, it turned out that we were the only family there, so it was actually just like a private plan, which felt like a great deal.

Liz, who explained everything to us, was very kind, and even as complete beginners, we were able to ride the horses properly. My 9-year-old son was saying it was difficult, but he managed to ride as well.

The wide grasslands, the blue sea, and the cute horses made for the best 2.5 hours! I want to go back next time to meet those adorable horses again.

2.5時間プランにするかプライベート2.5時間プランにするか悩んだのですが、結局2.5時間プランで申し込みをしました。

We participated as a couple on August 21, 2012. Our guide was Shigeru Yamamoto, who provided clear explanations with helpful examples. The highlight was undoubtedly the sunset at the summit, along with the constellation explanations and telescope viewing. Watching the refreshing sunset while wearing a down jacket to keep warm was a heartwarming experience. One should not speak of Mauna Kea without witnessing this. The stars spread across the sky were breathtaking. The precise stars and constellations pointed out with a laser pointer, along with the clear explanations, were fantastic. We also got to see Saturn's rings through the telescope that was set up. Shigeru Yamamoto took great group photos of all participants against the backdrop of the starry sky, as well as individual photos, which were later available for free download online, making for a wonderful keepsake. This is the most highly recommended tour.

2012.8.21に夫婦で参加しました。ガイドは山本茂さんで、丁寧で例えを用いたわかりやすい解説をしてくれました。何と言っても素晴らしいのが、？山頂でのサンセット、？星座解説＆天体望遠鏡でした。？寒さ防ぐダウンジャケットを着て見る清々しいサンセットは心洗う感動でした。？これを見ずしてマウナケアをかたるべし。満天に広がる星。レイザーポインターで示す的確な星や星座は、わかりやすい解説とともに最高でした。設置した天体望遠鏡で土星の輪っかも見せてもらいました。満天に広がる星々をバックにした参加者全員の集合写真と個々のまとまりの参加者写真を山本茂ガイドがいいデジカメで撮ってくれて、後にウェブ上から無料ダウンロードできたのも良い記念になりました。最もイチオシのツアーです。

I participated last September.
The weather looked ominous around Saddle Road, and I was worried, but the sunset at the summit was truly beautiful. The sun sank into the sea of clouds in an instant, and I wished I could have watched it a little longer.
During the stargazing afterward, there was unexpected rain... Still, I was moved when I briefly saw the Milky Way and the stars. Unfortunately, the rain didn't stop, so the stargazing was disappointing.
I definitely want to go back to the Big Island to see the beautiful starry sky again.

Since it was summer, we were picked up at the hotel at 3:30 PM. We visited about five hotels in total.

On the way up Mauna Kea, we took breaks and took photos on the volcanic plateau while being jostled in the car, arriving at the Onizuka Center in an hour and a half.

There, we enjoyed a Japanese bento box, and I was impressed that it came with miso soup.

After that, we put on warm clothes, hats, and made our way to the summit. At the top, we received detailed explanations at the observation deck, took sunset photos, and had various commemorative pictures taken with a sign at the summit of Mauna Kea.

Afterward, we did some stargazing in a spot with little wind. The explanations were easy to understand, and we were able to take photos, creating unforgettable memories. Thank you very much.

I think those who participated in the Masashi Nature School (where staff took photos that can be viewed later) were quite lucky. I highly recommend it. I would like to use this service again the next time I visit the Big Island.

その後、温かい服を上下、帽子と身に着け、頂上へ。
頂上では、展望台の詳しい説明とともに、サンセットの写真、そしてマウナケア山頂のテロップを持って、記念写真などいろいろ写真をとっていただけました。

Starry Sky Observation Tour I Joined Despite Worrying About the Cold

The constellations were so visible that I felt as if I were in outer space, and I was filled with childlike excitement. Especially, the Milky Way, which is not so clearly visible in Japan, made me feel romantic as I thought about how the stars Hikoboshi and Orihime could cross over. The moon looked like a crayon that I could almost touch, and there were countless stars to count. Each constellation observation was enjoyable thanks to the staff's easy-to-understand explanations, which made me forget about the cold.

We had a wonderful guide/driver. She really gave us a lot of information on the way up and at the site. It was nice to not drive or worry about packing warm weather gear. Well worth the money. And the meal was very good and filling.

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル

Shooting stars are flowing everywhere. 流れ星流れまくり

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I don't think you can see so many stars anywhere else in Japan. It was really cold, but both the sunset and the starry sky were incredibly beautiful.

Since I'm not very knowledgeable about stars, I think I only understood about half of the explanations in English. I couldn't book a Japanese tour, so I went with this one, but I wish I had studied a bit before going.

日本であんなに星がいっぱいみれることはないと思います。
すごく寒かったけど、サンセットも星空もすごくきれいでした。

星に詳しくないのもあり、英語での説明は半分ぐらいしか理解できてないと思います。
日本語のツアーが取れなかったので、こちらにしたのですが、行く前に少しは勉強していけばよかったと思うぐらいです。

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 experience in Waipi'o Valley. ワイピオ渓谷で乗馬体験

Reviewed by: 山本裕治

This was our second time participating as a couple. For us ordinary folks, horseback riding seems like a dream, but it's quite normal in Hawaii.
I’m 59 years old, but I was called by name by the instructor, Yuji, who is much younger than me. At first, I felt a bit resistant, but the staff was very kind, and it made me feel like I was in America.
There’s a tour that costs nearly $100 to go down to Waipi'o Valley, but this horseback riding experience takes you down to Waipi'o Valley and includes riding for just over $80, which I think is quite reasonable. However, it’s a meet-up and disperse arrangement. We were the only Japanese there.
We got to ride for about two hours, and the view of Waipi'o's nature from horseback is absolutely wonderful. The perspective from the horse is quite high, a height I haven’t experienced much before. We walked through rough terrain and even deep water (up to the horse's knees), which was an incredible experience. It was thrilling, wondering if everything would be okay. My wife seemed very satisfied and had a great expression on her face. We plan to go again next year.
By the way, even if it's your first time riding, the horses are well-trained, so you can feel safe. I highly recommend this to everyone.

　今回は夫婦で2回目の参加です。私達庶民夫婦には乗馬なんか夢のような話ですが、ハワイでは普通に出来てしまいます。
　私は59歳ですがユウジ、ユウジと私よりもズーット若いインストラクターに名前で呼ばれていました。最初は抵抗あったのですが対応も親切でここはアメリカかと感じました。
　また、ワイピオ渓谷まで降りるのに100ドル近くかかるツアーがあるのですが、この乗馬はワイピオ渓谷まで降りてしかも乗馬をして80数ドルでかなり安いと思います。ただし、現地集合、解散です。日本人は私達だけでした。
　2時間ほどみっちり乗馬ができ、馬上から見るワイピオの自然は最高に素晴らしいです。馬の上からの目線はかなり高く、あまり体験したことがない高さです。悪路や川の中をかなり深いところまで（馬の膝あたり）馬で歩くのですが何ともすごい体験です。大丈夫かなとスリル満点です。妻もかなり満足そうでいい顔していました。また来年行くつもりです。
　ちなみに、乗馬は初めてでも馬がよく訓練されているので安心です。私は皆さんに是非お勧めします。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Expensive-drive if you can

Reviewed by: MEFDenver

My husband and I have driven in the mountains for 40 plus years but booked this because we were led to believe it was difficult to get a permit to go up to Mauna Kea Summit in a private vehicle. If you are used to altitude and drive in the mountains, don't pay for this. The meal was only so-so though I realize if you are not used to living at altitude you don't want a heavy meal when you do the ascent as you do not have the extra red blood cells most of us who live at 6,000+ feet carry. The guide was okay but on the highway he drove way too slow. It really was not worth the price to us. It would be great if it was the only way you would be at the summit as seeing the sunset there was awesome. Our driver led us to believe that rental car companies would not allow you to drive a rental car up it. But, when we returned our car to the airport to leave we found out that was not the case (at least with our company). There is part of the road that is unpaved but it was graded and r

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 was moved!! 感動しました！！

Reviewed by: まー

I participated after being recommended by a friend. As expected, the sunset from the summit and the starry sky were amazing. I was worried about feeling unwell at the top, but since I took my time getting there, I was completely fine and captivated by the scenery. However, it was quite cold, and I regretted not bringing hand warmers for my feet and back.

During the stargazing, the Milky Way was clearly visible, and I was able to see shooting stars several times. We all lay on the ground together to enjoy it. I also got to take a picture of Saturn through a reflecting telescope, which became a nice keepsake.

Next time, I want to go when I can see my own zodiac constellation.

友人から勧められて参加しました。
勧められただけあり、山頂からのサンセットと、星空は素晴らしかったです。
山頂で体調が悪くならないかと心配していましたが、慣らしながら向かったのでまったく大丈夫で、景色にみとれていました。
ただかなり寒く、足や腰にカイロを貼っていけば良かったなと後悔しました。

星空観測では、天の川が良く見え、流れ星も何度かみることができました。皆で地面に寝転がりながら☆
土星も反射望遠鏡ごしにデジカメで撮影していただき、記念になりました。

今度は、自分の星座がみえる時に行きたいです。
