I could see the Milky Way... 天の川まで見えて・・・

Reviewed by: ako

This was my first relaxing trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, where I felt the power of nature and the universe throughout my body.

It was a lucky day with a crescent moon perfect for stargazing, and I was breathless at the changing reds of nature during the sunset, the sea of clouds, and the white rainbow... And then, as soon as I got off the bus, I was greeted by a sky full of stars... I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!!"

Thanks to my hat, gloves, and warm clothing, I was able to lie on the ground and was moved to spot shooting stars...

Adapting to the high altitude of 4,200 meters was no problem at all, thanks to Mr. Ochi's guidance...

The silhouette photo of my profile looks like it was taken 40 years ago (?), and it became a wonderful memento! Thank you very much.

今回はじめての　ハワイ島のんびり旅行で　自然と　宇宙のパワーと　癒しを体中で　感じる旅でした。

　星をみるのに具合のいい三日月というラッキーデーと　雲海　白虹　　夕日の刻々と変わる自然の赤の変化に息をのむほど・・そして…・バスを降りたとたんの満点の星　星　星・・・思わずわーー！！

I definitely think you should participate in the Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. This tour allows you to observe the stars from a higher location than the Onizuka Center, so you can enjoy it without being with other tour guests, and you can clearly see the Milky Way, which I highly recommend.

Since we stayed at a B&B, we were supposed to be picked up at a designated supermarket, and after the tour, we were supposed to be the first ones dropped off. However, the guide mistakenly went to the hotel first, which delayed our return home by 30 minutes. I believe the other participants who were dropped off after us were delayed by over an hour.

We had been sightseeing around the island with a rental car before the tour, so I regretted not speaking up earlier when I noticed something was off. The tour itself was enjoyable, so it's unfortunate. The bento box with Japanese food and miso soup was delightful. It was also helpful that they provided pants for warmth, as we were the only ones with them. I'm glad I participated since you can't go to Mauna Kea on your own.

マウナケアのサンセットと星空ツアーには絶対に参加すべきだと思います。
こちらのツアーはオニヅカセンターよりも高い場所で星空を観察するので他のツアー客と一緒にならずに、ゆったりとでき、天の川もハッキリと見れてオススメです。
私達はＢ＆Ｂ宿泊だったので指定されたスーパーでピックアップしてもらい、ツアー後は最初に送ってもらえるはずだったのですが、ガイドさんが間違って先にホテルに行っていまい帰宅時間が３０分も遅くなりました。
私達の後に送ってもらう他の参加者さんは１時間以上も遅くなったと思います。
ツアー参加までにレンタカーで島内観光していたので途中でおかしいと思っていたので早めにアピールすべきだったと後悔･･･ツアー自体は楽しかったので残念です。
お弁当は和食にお味噌汁が嬉しかったです。
防寒着もズボンがあるのはこちらだけだったので助かりました。
マウナケアには個人では行けないので参加して良かったです。

Reviewed by: おおつか

This was my first time participating and I went alone. Before going, I was a bit anxious about attending by myself, but the guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was very entertaining, and the tour was fantastic! On the day of the tour, the rainbow was stunning, and since the stargazing was conducted at a location conveniently close to the summit, there were no clouds obscuring the stars at all. Mr. Yamamoto's knowledge about Hawaii is incredible! (By the way, he mentioned that people observing at the Onitsuka Center that day couldn't see well due to the clouds.) The sunset at the summit was different from other tours, as they provided us with warm clothing, gloves, and knit hats, which made me very satisfied. Next time, I definitely want to join this tour with friends and family.

初参加で一人参加でした。
行く前は1人で参加する事に少々不安でしたが、ガイドをしていただいた山本さんがとても面白く、ツアーは最高でした！
当日は虹が最高に見え天体観測もこちらのツアーだけは頂上に程よく近い場所で行った為に、雲で星が隠れるような事は一切無かったです。
しかし山本さんのハワイに関する知識はすごい！！
（ちなみにこの日オニツカセンターで観測された人は雲で良く見えなかったとしきりにおっしゃっていました。）
頂上でのサンセットは、他のツアーと違い、上下の防寒具や手袋・ニット帽まで貸し出ししていただいたので、大変満足です。
今度は友達や家族と是非このツアーに参加したいです。

Captain and crew surely cannot be faulted for the fish not biting. They did their best to navigate us into waters where fish were known to be biting in the past, but with the big beautiful Humpback Whales roaming the seas the odds were against them. It would have been nice if at least one of them was a bit more communicative and share with us some local knowledge, but they kept to themselves. I know that is not their job, but it would have added some color to the day.

If you're going to the Big Island of Hawaii, Mauna Kea is a must-visit. ハワイ島に行くならマウナケアは必修

Reviewed by: パパ

If you're going to the Big Island, I definitely recommend visiting Mauna Kea. While Kilauea and the lava are impressive, the experience of watching the sunset and stargazing from the summit of Mauna Kea is truly moving. Seeing the sunset sink into the sea of clouds gives you chills. You can even see the shadow of the Earth. During stargazing, you can see an incredible number of stars like never before. They explain about artificial satellites, shooting stars, and your own constellations. If possible, it's good to check the moon phase before you go. It seems that a full moon can reduce visibility. You can find out the moon phase here: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/qpon/b/java103.htm. The bento from Masashi Nature School is just as good as other companies' bento, and they even include miso soup. Also, they are the only ones that provide warm clothing all the way down to pants. Other people looked cold. I definitely want to participate again next time.

ハワイ島に行かれる方、必ずマウナケアまで行かれたほうがいいと思いますよ。キラウエアや溶岩もすごいですが、感動といったらマウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測です。あの雲海に沈む夕日を見ると感動で震えが出てきます。地球の影も見えました。星空観測も今まで見たこともないような数の星を見ることができます。人工衛星や流れ星、自分の星座といろいろ説明してくれます。できれば月齢を調べていくといいですよ。満月だと半減するそうです。月齢は（半角で打ってください） http://www.ne.jp/asahi/qpon/b/java103.htm　でわかります。マサシネイチャースクールのお弁当はほかの会社のお弁当と比べてもみそ汁もありまけてません。また防寒着もズボンまであるのはここだけでした。ほかのところの人たちは寒そうでした。また、次回も参加したいと思います。

It was fun! 楽しかったです♪

Reviewed by: akky

This was the only optional tour I booked during my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. Our guide, Shinya, really energized everyone on the bus, making it enjoyable and keeping us engaged. I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but I managed to get through it without feeling too unwell.

The weather was surprisingly good for this time of year, and the temperature wasn't too low, allowing for great observations.

Recommendations:
- Dress warmly. They do provide outerwear, but it can still get cold after a long time, so it's best to go fully prepared, including a hat.
- Don't forget to bring water and some sweet snacks like chocolate. While water is provided, I think it's a good idea to bring your own as well.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

初めてのハワイ島旅行で、唯一申し込んだオプショナルツアーでした。
ガイドの「しんやさん」が、バスの中の皆を盛り上げてくれて、飽きずに楽しむことができました。高山病の配慮もしてくれて、ちょっと心配していたのですがそれ程不調にならずに過ごせました。
この時期にしては！？天気も良くて気温もそれ程低くなくいい状態での観測ができました。

おススメ
？暖かい格好をしていく事
　※上下防寒具は貸していただけますが、やっぱり長時間は寒いですので帽子も含めて完全防備で行ったほうがいいです。
？水分とチョコレートなどの甘いものの持参を忘れずに。
　※水はついていますが、持参していくといいと思います。

また機会があったら参加したいです。

An emotional experience! 感動体験！

Reviewed by: たかる

This was my first visit to the Big Island for our honeymoon. My husband, who usually doesn't have many requests for trips, had one wish: he wanted to visit the mountain with the observatory if we were going to Hawaii! To fulfill that wish, I booked the Mauna Kea summit tour with Masashi.

As a result, my husband was extremely satisfied! Although he usually doesn't talk much, on the way back, he was sitting next to the guide and chatting away, which made me happy to see how much he enjoyed it. I believe this was all thanks to the guide, who took great care of the participants' health and provided warm clothing. Thank you very much!!!

The sunset at the summit and the stargazing a little further down were perfect for honeymooners, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

I had done my homework by reading experience reports (I wore Heattech and brought a fleece and scarf), so we were able to fully enjoy both activities. If you want to make the most of this tour, it's best to dress appropriately.

Dinner was around 4:30 PM, and we returned to the hotel around 9:30 to 10 PM, so I recommend preparing a light snack the day before.

Stargazing can vary depending on the season, time, and moon phase, so this is a tour I would love to visit again multiple times. Thank you!

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイ島訪問でした。
旅行に関してあまりリクエストのない夫でしたが、ハワイ島に行くなら天文台のある山に行きたい！という唯一の願いを叶えるため、マサシのマウナケア山頂ツアーに申し込みました。
結果、夫は大満足！
普段口数は少ないのに、帰りのバスではガイドさんの隣席でいろいろ話を聞いたりして、よっぽど楽しかったんだとこちらまで嬉しくなりました。
それも全て、参加者へのきっちりした体調管理や温かい防寒着を貸してくださったガイドさんのおかげだと思います。
ありがとうございました！！！
山頂での夕日、そして少し下へ降りての星空観測はムード満点でハネムーナーにもぴったりでした♪

体験談を読んだりして事前準備（ヒートテックを着込み、フリースとマフラーを持って行きました）をしっかりしていたので、どちらもたっぷり時間をかけて楽しめました。このツアーを堪能したい方は、万全の恰好で行ったほうがいいですよ。

晩ご飯のお弁当が４時半ごろ、ホテルに帰るのが９時半から１０時ごろとなるので、ちょっとした夜食を前日に用意しておくこともお勧めします。

星空観測は季節や時間、月齢などで見え方が変わるので、また何度も訪れたいと思うツアーでした。

Road closed!! ロードクローズ!!

Reviewed by: MIDORI

I participated in the tour on December 20th. That morning, an incredible thunderstorm suddenly appeared on the Big Island, bringing hail and knocking down trees, making it a very rare weather day.

Unfortunately, due to the storm, we experienced a phenomenon where 30 cm of snow fell in just 30 minutes, which led to road closures, preventing us from reaching the summit. However, thanks to our guide Shinya's entertaining Yoshimoto-style talk, we were able to enjoy the tour in the vehicle without a moment of silence and had a great time!

Of course, we also made sure to observe the starry sky from a high point on the mountain, where Shinya provided fascinating explanations of the countless stars.

Since we couldn't see a moonbow this time, I hope to challenge myself to spot one during my next visit to the Big Island, aiming for a full moon.

Shinya, please continue to provide fun tours with your Yoshimoto-style talks. I look forward to seeing beautiful photos as well!

12月20日のツアーに参加させていただきました。当日午前中は凄まじいサンダーストームが突如ハワイ島に出現し、ヒョウが降ったり、木がなぎ倒されたりで、大変珍しい気象の日でありました。

残念ながらそのストームにより30分で30cmもの雪が降る、という現象が発生し、ロードクローズとなってしまったため山頂まで行くことはできませんでしたが、ガイドのしんやさんの吉本トークでツアー車中に笑いが途切れることはなく大変楽しく過ごさせていただくことができました！
もちろん、目的の星空観測もできるだけ山の高い位置で、としっかり配慮していただいて満天の星を面白く解説していただけました。

今回はムーンボーは見ることができませんでしたから、次回ハワイ島を訪れる機会があったら満月の狙ってムーンボー確認に挑戦したいと思っています。

しんやさん、これからも吉本トークで楽しいツアーを続けてください。きれいな写真にも期待しています。

I saw a sunset from an elevation much higher than Mount Fuji, and such a beautiful starry sky for the first time in my life! I was extremely satisfied.

The sky was clear with no moon, allowing me to fully enjoy the wonderful transition from dusk to night. I was worried about the cold, but the wind at the summit was unusually weak that day. My hands and feet got cold, but thanks to my warm clothing, I was able to endure being outside for a long time.

Our guide, Shinya, was knowledgeable about stars and the Big Island of Hawaii, and he shared many fascinating stories. I definitely want to go on the same tour again someday to see the amazing sky views.

富士山よりもずっと高い標高からの夕焼けと、あんなに美しい星空は、生まれて初めて見ました！大満足です。
スッキリ晴れて月もなかったので、夕暮れ~夜の素晴らしい空を、存分に楽しむことができました。
寒さを心配していましたが、当日の山頂は珍しく風が弱く、手足は冷たくなりましたが、長時間外にいても防寒着のおかげで絶えることができました。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Excellent Experience

Reviewed by: Sylvia

The tour was excellent and the guide had a lot of passion for what he does, so it was kind of contagious. He told us a lot of interesting stories making the trip very entertain. Dinner was very good and they provide us with coats and globes which we really needed. Then we had a second stop to explain to us about the telescopes and what is being measured. Finally we arrived at the top. I must admit I got very sick, but the guide had warned us that it could happen and recommended to sit on the floor. That is exactly what I did. I didn’t like the feeling at all, but I saw the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen so it was worth the bad 5 minutes feeling LOL but I wouldn’t recommend it to people with heart problems. After the breath taking view we went down and watch the starts through a telescope. The guide explained a lot of things I didn’t know. I am not very knowledgeable about astronomy but I really learned a lot and enjoy the time. I will definitely recommend it as a must see

Expected more

Reviewed by: Cali Girl

After reading about how wonderful the Waipio Valley Ride was, I was excited to go. I have shown horses for over 20 years and know my way around a horse. When we arrived at the stables, and, yes, the road into the valley was an experience to be had, I was very disappointed in the quality of the horses. I over heard one worker state that most of the horses were lame.

The ride itself was peaceful and the scenery was beautiful. The guide took us on public roads and down a short stream; the actual ride was about 1 1/2 hours long. My horse was pleasant to ride and knew his job.

The guides were okay but spent a great deal of time talking with locals or riding off on their own. Several times very inexperienced riders were left by themselves and seemed very uncomfortable; I would not be surprised if their experience was not a good one. I am glad nothing bad happened but it easily could have.

I would do this activity again but probably with another operator.

The sky was filled with stars. 星だらけの空でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since it was an English tour, I could only understand about 50% of the guide's talk with my English skills, but it was still a starry sky worth seeing. It was the first time I had ever seen the Milky Way so clearly and vividly. I expected it to be very cold, and I heard that the only warm gear they provide is a hooded jacket and gloves, so I was glad I brought my own lower body warm clothing. I think it would be too cold for Japanese participants if they joined in jeans or similar attire. (People from Western countries tend to dress lightly, right...?) I wish I had brought a scarf as well.

As for the tour itself, they take you to the summit by car, and they use a laser pointer to explain the stars, so if you have a basic understanding of English and your goal is to see the stars at the summit, I think you can enjoy it fully. By the way, despite it being a major holiday in Japan in September, out of about 30 participants in two cars, my friend and I were the only Japanese people. There was a Japanese version of the initial waiver form, but everything else was conducted in English.

英語のツアーだったため、私の英語力ではガイドさんの話は50%くらいしか理解できませんでしたが、それでも十分、みる価値のある星空でした。あんなにはっきり太く天の川を観たのは生まれて初めてです。すごく寒いと予想していて、貸してくれる防寒具はフード付のジャケットと手袋だけと聞いていましたので、下半身の防寒具を自分で持って行っていたので助かりましたが、ジーンズなどで参加していたら、日本人では寒すぎて辛いんじゃないかと思います。（欧米の方はみなさん薄着ですよね｡｡｡）マフラーも持っていけば良かったです。
ツアー自体は車に乗っていれば山頂まで連れていってくれるしレーザーポインターを使って星の説明もしてくれるので、英語がちょっとわかって、山頂で星をみることが目的ならば十分に楽しめると思います。
ちなみに、日本では９月の大型連休中だったにも関わらず、約30名車２台のツアー参加者のうち、日本人は私達二人だけでした。一応、最初の免責説明の署名用紙などは日本語の物がありましたが、他は全て英語での対応です。

I was overwhelmed by the guide's passion!

I was especially impressed by how energetically they guided us throughout the long tour, from the gathering point to our late return.

I had been to Oahu before, but I was thrilled to finally visit the Big Island. The scenery of solidified lava flows was everywhere, and it felt like a different world.

It felt far to Mauna Kea, but I realized they intentionally took their time to reach the summit. The view from the top is worth seeing. The scenery from such a high elevation, even higher than Mount Fuji, is something you don't get to see often.

For my wife and me, who live in Tokyo, the starry sky near the summit was incredibly beautiful, unlike anything we had ever seen, making it the best day ever.

But this was all thanks to the guide. Mahalo!

マウナケアまでは遠く感じましたが、意図的にゆっくりと登頂をされてるのですね。山頂からの景色は、一見の価値ありです。富士山よりも高い標高からの景色です、なかなかみることはできません。

東京暮らしの我々夫婦には山頂付近からの星空は、もう見たこともないくらい美しく最高の一日となりました。

でも、これはガイドさんのおかげですね。マハロ！

This is the best!!! サイコー！！！

Reviewed by: uni子

I participated on September 17.
It was my first time, and I was terrified of altitude sickness, but I made it to the summit without being attacked by sleepiness.
It was indeed cold at the top. However, the mountain view was like a fantastical scene, as if I had become a hermit.
I kept saying, "Wow," and felt a bit ashamed of my limited vocabulary...
After that, we descended a bit and did some stargazing.
It was like the stars were falling. My neck hurt.
I realized I could see the Milky Way, and again felt a bit ashamed of my lack of knowledge...
But I was able to spot shooting stars, it wasn't cold at all, and I could see the whole city of Hiro, so I'm really glad I came.

Thank you very much, Shinya.

This tour made me realize that my worries are so small.

9月17日に参加しました。
初参加で、高山病の恐怖におののいてましたが睡魔に襲われる事なく頂上へ到着しました。
頂上はさすがに寒かった。だけどマウンテンビューは仙人にでもなったかのような幻想的な景色。
「すごいねー」の連発でボキャの乏しさが少し情けなく…。
そこから少し下山して天体観測。
まさに星が降ってくるよう。首が痛い。
天の川って見えるんだ、と知識の乏しさにまた自分が情けなく…。
だけど流れ星も発見できたし、ぜーんぜん寒くもなかったし、ヒロの街も一望できたし、ほんとに来てよかった。

しんやさん、どうもありがとうございました。

自分の悩みなんてミクロだなーとジンジン染みたツアーでした。

A place you should definitely visit! 一度は行くべき！

Reviewed by: dunk

I went at the end of August!

However, the summit and the place where we observed the stars were really, really cold!

On the morning of the tour, we were playing at the hotel beach, but the cold was unbelievable.

I brought a face towel to wipe off sweat, but instead, it turned into my wife's scarf! Even so, it was still cold!

My wife said, "I should have brought my UGG boots!" (laughs).

It rained a bit along the way, and the clouds looked suspicious, but we were able to see a beautiful sunset at the summit!

The moonlight was so bright that the starry sky was somewhat lacking in impact...

Still, we had a great time. We could even see the Milky Way faintly.

It's truly surreal to be able to drive up a mountain higher than Mount Fuji; it feels like a dream!

My wife got very sleepy in the car on the way down. I heard that sleeping can make you more susceptible to altitude sickness, so I desperately tried to keep her awake.

The guide mentioned that chocolate and water are effective in preventing altitude sickness.

We are not fans of American chocolate bars (with marshmallows or peanut butter), so I wish we had been informed about that before the tour...

I heard that you can buy chocolate at the "Onizuka~" shop during the meal break, so when we went, only chocolate bars were available. (tears) I wish we had prepared chocolate in advance...

For those who dislike American chocolate bars, I think it would be good to bring your favorite chocolate☆

Those who felt unwell due to altitude sickness were using oxygen.

If you're worried, I think it's a good idea to bring sports oxygen from Japan. (Just pack it in your suitcase)

The bento was delicious!

Honestly, I can't say the ride in the van was comfortable.

I think it was partly due to the bad roads, but I hit my head on the window several times.

Even so, I was attacked by intense sleepiness! (laughs)

Lastly!

If you come to the Big Island, you should definitely participate in this tour at least once!!

I hope this helps everyone...

Mahalo!

8月末に行ってきました！

…が、山頂＆星を観測した場所は本当に本当に寒かった！

ツアーに参加する日の午前中はホテルのビーチで遊んでいたのですが、嘘のような寒さでした。

汗拭き用に持っていったフェイスタオルでしたが、汗どころか妻のマフラーに変身！それでもまだ寒かったです！

妻は「UGG（ムートンブーツ）を持参すれば良かった！」と言っていました。笑。

途中で雨が降ったり、雲行きが怪しかったけど、山頂ではキレイなサンセットが見られました！

月の光が眩しくて、星空はやや感動に欠けちゃいました…。

それでも十分楽しめました。
うっすら天の川も見えました。

富士山より高い山に車で登れちゃうなんて、
本当に非現実的な空間で夢のようです！

妻は下山中、車の中でとても眠たくなりました。
眠ると高山病になりやすくなるそうなので、必死で起こしました。

ガイドさんが言っておりましたが、
チョコレートとお水が高山病予防に効くそうです。

私たちはアメリカンなチョコバー（マシュマロとかピーナッツバター入り）が苦手なので、
その情報は是非ツアー前に教えて欲しかったです。。。

食事休憩をする「オニヅカ~」の売店でチョコが買えると聞いたので行ってみると、
見事にチョコバーのみが販売されていました。涙。
事前にチョコを用意して行けば良かったなぁ。。。

アメリカンなチョコバーが苦手な方は
お好きなチョコを持参されると良いと思います☆

高山病？で体調を崩された方は
酸素吸入などしていました。

心配な方は日本からスポーツ用の酸素を
持って行くのもアリだと思います。
（スーツケースに入れてね）

お弁当、美味しかったです！

正直、車（バン）の乗り心地は良いとは言えませんでした。

道が悪いせいもあると思いますが、
何度も頭を窓に打ちました。

それでも強烈な睡魔に襲われます！笑！

最後に！

ハワイ島に来たならば、
一度はこのツアーに参加すべきっ！！

皆さんの参考になりますように…。

マハロ！

Greatly impressed. 大感激

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a couple. The sunset was more beautiful than we imagined, and we were very impressed. It was quite cold, but we were lent warm coats, which allowed us to enjoy it to the fullest. We really appreciated being able to participate since we wouldn't have been able to go on our own. It became our best memory!

夫婦で参加しました。
サンセットは、想像以上に綺麗で大感激しました。
大変寒かったのですが、あたたかいコートを貸して頂け、存分に楽しめました。
自分達では行けないので、参加して本当に良かったです。
一番の思い出になりました！

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

We loved our guides

Reviewed by: Hunter

Keone we think and Jay were wonderful guides and added greatly to the beautiful experience of riding in Waipio Valley. Their friendlyness and helpfullness really made the ride from great to an amazing experience. It was fun to ride through water and learn about the valley. I would recommend it to anyone interested in horseback riding. The horses were easy to ride but also had some personality which is always fun and the guides did a good job of teaching the basics and what to do to stay safe.
