キャプテン・クック号 サンセット・ディナークルーズ <夕食・カクテル1杯付き/カイルアピア発>

Sailing down the west coast of the Big Island to Captain Cook's landing point, then enjoying the sunset as it falls on the horizon. ハワイ島西海岸沖をキャプテンクック上陸点まで南下、そのあと水平線に落ちる夕日を堪能

Reviewed by: 水戸黄門

We sailed south along the west coast of the Big Island to the Captain Cook landing site. While listening to explanations about the history of the Big Island, we were able to see the magnificent overall view of the island from the sea, which was quite enjoyable. Dinner was a set menu, including cocktails and soft drinks. When requesting a vegetarian meal at the time of reservation, we were served Thai curry. For appetizers, we had a green salad with strawberries, and for dessert, there was a wonderfully sweet chocolate tart cake. Hot coffee (Kona coffee) was also provided. After turning back at the Captain Cook landing site, we headed towards the departing port while witnessing the sunset offshore. Along the way, a family of dolphins came close, which was exciting even though it was for a short time. We also observed small fish, resembling flying fish, actively jumping around. Onboard, there was a live guitar performance, and we had a great time singing along to classic hits that any American would know. Depending on the weather, the boat might sway a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to bring motion sickness medication.

ハワイ島西海岸沿いの沖合をキャプテンクック上陸点まで南下。ハワイ島の歴史に関する説明を聞きながら、西海岸沖の海上から雄大なハワイ島の全体像を見ることができ、これだけでもかなり楽しめます。夕食はセットメニューで、カクテルやソフトドリンクがついています。ベジタリアンミールを希望するときは予約時に選択すると、タイカレーが提供されました。前菜としてイチゴの入ったグリーンサラダ、デザートにはめいっぱい甘いチョコレートタルトケーキがでました。ホットコーヒー(コナコーヒー)も提供してくれます。キャプテンクック上陸点で折り返し、沖合でサンセットを見届けると出発した港に向けて航路を向けますが、途中でイルカの家族が近くまで来てくれて、短い時間でしたが盛り上がりました。アジサシ?のような小さな飛び魚のような魚が盛んに飛びながらおよいでいるのも観察できました。船上ではギターのライブ演奏があり、アメリカ人ならだれでも知っている往年のヒット曲で大いに盛り上がりました。天候によっては多少揺れると思いますので、船に弱い人は酔い止めを持って行った方がよいかもしれません。

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

Excellent Tour Guide James

Reviewed by: Eric M.

James who was the tour guide was very nice and thoughtful in providing anything we needed and gave a very informative details about Mauna Kea and the surrounding areas. He was also very helpful in pointing out specific constellations during the star gazing tour. He offered and took pictures of us with our phones. I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend anyone who comes to The Big Island of Hawaii to take this tour and hopefully James will be assigned as your tour guide.

It was moving, moving, moving! 感動、感動、感動です!

Reviewed by: kuririn

The last time it was canceled due to a hurricane, so this was my second attempt. I watched the sunset for about 20 minutes before it started, and it was truly beautiful with clear air and almost no clouds. At one moment, I even saw the green flash.

For stargazing, I booked on a day as close to the new moon as possible, so I was able to see the Milky Way, and with the telescope set up by the guide, I could observe Saturn and even Jupiter along with its moons. Although the number of visible constellations is limited by the season, I was surprised to see all 12 zodiac signs with the naked eye.

Moreover, the guide's vast knowledge, covering everything from the origins of constellations to information from various observatories around the world, was impressive. It was truly a satisfying experience, blessed with good weather and a knowledgeable guide.

前回はハリケーンでキャンセルとなり、2度目のトライでした。
サンセットの20分くらい前からずーっと見ていましたが、澄んだ空気の中、雲もほとんどなく、本当に美しいサンセットでした。瞬間的にはグリーンフラッシュも見えたほどです。
星空観測も、出来るだけ新月に近い日を選んで予約したので、天の川はもちろん、ガイドさんがセットして下さった望遠鏡では土星、そして木星は周りの衛星まで確認することが出来ました。また、季節的に数は限られるものの、12星座を肉眼で見られたのも驚きです。
そして、それらを説明して下さったガイドさんの膨大な知識量は、各国の天文台から星座の由来、成り立ちまで幅広くて驚きました。
天候とガイドさんに恵まれた、本当に満足出来る体験でした。

We traveled entirely by car, so my elderly parents (70 and 66 years old) were able to participate with peace of mind! The starry sky was beautifully visible, and the explanations in Japanese were very clear and made for a really enjoyable time. The cocoa in the cold was delicious too ❤︎ I was worried about the high altitude, but thanks to the acclimatization at the Onizuka Center, we were able to complete the entire program without any issues. Thank you so much for this valuable experience! I would love to participate again when my children are older and can join us!

Reviewed by: どらち

I participated in the farm tour on Friday. I was able to hear Marcus's passionate thoughts about Baumkuchen, its history, and its connection to Japan, as well as learn about Marcus and Marie as individuals. I highly recommend joining the farm tour for this reason. I was worried about whether I could bake it well, but under Marie's guidance, the surface turned out crispy with cinnamon sugar, while the inside was moist and chewy. The homemade chocolate sauce and coffee were also very delicious, allowing me to enjoy a relaxed and fulfilling Hawaiian time. In fact, I arrived an hour early and was able to leisurely stroll around the spacious garden, feeling immersed in the everyday life of Hawaii. However, since the tour is basically in English, my wife, who is not very good at English, seemed disappointed that she couldn't join the conversations with Marcus and the other participants. According to Marcus, they have never held the farm tour in Japanese, but if all participants were Japanese, he would likely be willing to guide in Japanese if negotiated, as he is proficient in it!

金曜日にファームツアーから参加しました。マーカスさんのバームクーヘンに対する熱い想いや、バームクーヘンの歴史など日本との関わりを含めて聞くことができたり、マーカスさんとマリーさんの人となりを知ることができるので、是非ファームツアーから参加することをお勧めします。バームクーヘン作りはうまく焼けるか心配でしたが、マリーさんの手ほどきで、表面のシナモンシュガーがカリカリに、中はしっとりもっちりに焼き上がりました。自家製チョコソースやコーヒーもとても美味しく、のんびりと充実したハワイ時間を過ごすことができました。実は1時間も早く着いてしまったのですが、広いお庭でぶらぶらのんびりさせていただき、ハワイの日常に溶け込んだ気分を味わえました。
ただ基本的に英語のツアーなので、英語が苦手の妻はマーカス夫妻や他の参加者との会話に加われず残念そうでした。マーカスさんによるとファームツアーを日本語で開催したことはないとのことですが、もし参加者全員が日本人ならば日本語が上手なマーカスさんに交渉すれば日本語でも案内してくださるはずですよ?!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset Stargazing Tour

Reviewed by: Joan

Our guide, Koki, did a fabulous job with the Sunset photos for each of us at the summit and also a great job getting everyone's photo with the stars. He was an excellent driver and went slowly on the bumpy gravel part of the drive.

Because Koki's Japanese dialect is not something most English speaking people understand, he needs to speak more slowly and distinctly. I had a great deal of trouble understanding him - seems like I could only catch 4 out of every 10 words, and that is not something I expected on this tour. Granted, out of the 10 people, there were 2 Japanese men and Koki spent a lot of time on the way home speaking only to them in Japanese.

So, I had very mixed feelings about this tour. I come to Hawaii at least a couple times a year and I would definitely ask more questions about the guide and his speaking and understanding ability before I take my nest tour.

Sea of clouds, sunset, and starry sky. 雲海と夕日と星空

Reviewed by: Dan

The sunset disappearing into the sea of clouds was amazing. They had warm clothing available, and the hot cocoa was a nice touch. They also explained the constellations, and we enjoyed stargazing. It's rare to have the opportunity to drive to a place above the sea of clouds like this. I had seen the sea of clouds and sunrise from the summit of Mount Fuji, but my wife has some mobility issues, so I couldn't show her that view. Here, we could drive to the summit, so I was glad I could show her a similar view. However, we were lucky that the weather was good the whole time; I wonder what would have happened if it hadn't been. That's just a matter of luck.

雲海に消えていく夕陽は最高。防寒具も揃っているし、あったかいココアもついていてとても良かった。星座の説明もしてくれてスターゲージングも楽しめた。 雲海の上に車で行ける機会はここを逃すとなかなか無いのではないかな。 自分は富士山の山頂から雲海と日の出を見た事あったけど、妻は足が少し不自由でその景色を見せてあげる事が出来なかった。ここは山頂まで車でいけるから似たような景色を見せてあげることができて良かった。 ただ、運良く天気がずっと良かったけどそうでなかったらどうなっていたか。 こればかりは運次第。

Snow experience on Mauna Kea 雪のマウナケア体験

The weather forecast for November 5th predicted continuous rain, and it seems that Mauna Kea, at an elevation of 4,200 meters, was experiencing snowfall. Later, I learned from the guide that there was a possibility of being closed until 3 PM that day, and the tour itself could have been canceled. The summit had a snowy landscape, making for a wonderful sunset and starry sky tour that was quite different from my previous experience.

It was amazing. 最高でした。

Reviewed by: ヒロ

Due to the snow and rain the day before, the summit was closed until 12 PM on the day of departure. It opened just after 12:30 PM, and when I arrived at the meeting point, I met only the guide, George (English), along with 9 other participants, including 2 young women from English-speaking countries. However, the language barrier was manageable; gestures worked well, and we could use translation apps on our phones.

On the way to the sunset, it was raining until we reached the Onizuka Visitor Center, but as we ascended towards the summit, the clouds cleared, and we were able to enjoy the sunset after the snowfall. However, due to the thin air, I felt a bit lightheaded and could only walk slowly. Nevertheless, guide George made sure to engage everyone, taking photos and even building a three-tiered snowman. During the stargazing, he was busy taking pictures and packing up the telescope and tripod in the cold, dark environment, which was impressive. He also prioritized safety while driving.

Thank you for the amazing sunset and stargazing experience. Great job, George!

サンセットの方は、オニヅカビジターセンターまでは雨が降ってましたが、山頂までの道を上がって行くに従い、雲が晴れ雪が降った後のサンセットを楽しむ事が出来ました。しかし空気が薄いせいか、頭がボーっとしてゆっくりしか歩く事が出来ませんでした。しかし、ガイドのジョージさんは全員に声かけをして写真をパチリ、パチリ、3段の雪だるまも作ってくれました。星空観察でも、パチリ、パチリと寒くて、なかなか動けない真っ暗の中天体望遠鏡を片付けたり、写真の三脚を片付けたり、良く、動いていて、感心しました。車の運転も安全第一で任務を遂行していました。
最高のサンセットと星空観測 ありがとうございました。ジョージ、good jobでした。

Sunset viewed from 4000 meters. 4000mから見たサンセット

Reviewed by: Bob

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was mystical, and I felt my heart healed as I watched it for a long time. The mountaintop is cold, so it's better to dress warmly. During the star tour, I was thrilled to have a detailed explanation of the constellations and to also see the Milky Way.

雲海に沈むサンセットは、神秘的でした、ずっと見ていて心が癒されました。山頂は寒いので暖かくした方が良いですね。星ツアーでは、星座を詳しく説明いただき、またどせいも見る事が出来感激しました。

The sunset and starry sky are amazing! サンセット&星空最高〜!

During the reservation, I heard that the Japanese guidance was difficult, but Shoutarou was the driver and guide.

He was interesting, hardworking, kind, and fluent in Japanese.

The best!

Thank you very much.

Enjoying the sunset and stargazing. サンセット、星空観測をエンジョイ

Reviewed by: Kurt

At the summit of Mauna Kea, I felt a bit unwell due to the thin air, but the sunset was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. The driver's broken Japanese explanations were also nice. I was able to take a lot of photos, and it became a fun memory.

マウナケア山頂では、空気が薄いせいか少し体調不良を感じましたが、サンセットは素晴らしくエンジョイできました。ドライバーの片言の日本語説明もあり、よかったです。写真もたくさん撮影でき、楽しい思い出となりました。

I will visit again! 再訪します!

Reviewed by: Kita

I wanted to visit Mauna Kea, so I chose the Big Island as my first destination in Hawaii.

Regarding the starry sky, it was a bit disappointing that the moon was close to full, making it hard to see, but the view of the sunset and the array of telescopes was spectacular and wonderful.

Additionally, the tour description mentioned only an English guide, but our guide, Shota, was able to speak Japanese as well, which was very helpful as he provided guidance in both English and Japanese.

He also took some lovely photos, creating great memories.

Next time, I plan to check the lunar cycle carefully before visiting again! Thank you very much!

マウナケア山に訪れてみたく、今回初のハワイの行き先としてハワイ島を選びました。
星空については月が満月に近く、月明かりにて見えずらい点が残念ではありましたがサンセットと研究用の望遠鏡が並んでいる景色が壮観で素晴らしかったです。
また、ツアー説明には英語ガイドのみで記載がありましたが、ガイドのショウタさんが日本語もお話しできるとのことで英語と日本語両方でガイドをいただき大変助かりました。
素敵な写真も撮影いただき、とても良い思い出です。
次回は月の周期もしっかり確認した上で、再訪したいと思います!
またよろしくお願いいたします。

Hawaii Forest & Trail - Kona Volcano Hiking Tour & Hidden Craters Adventure

Amazing hike!

Reviewed by: Kathleen

This hike adventure was awesome! The views at different stops along the way were just amazing. Our Guide Jon was great! He was a knowledgeable about so many things such as the local birds, plants and history of the area. Entering a lava tube that was hundreds of years old was interesting, and fun. Jon made sure our group remained safe and also had fun along the way. One has to experience this activity to really appreciate it! I would definitely recommend this activity.

A breathtaking view from an altitude of 4,205 meters. 標高4205メートルからの絶景

Reviewed by: かおり

I have visited the Big Island multiple times and had seen the starry sky from the slopes of Mauna Kea, so I thought there might not be anything particularly new. However, I was very moved by the sea of clouds and the sunset from the summit! I had no issues with altitude sickness, and even though I was lightly dressed in September, the warm clothing provided was more than enough. The warm cocoa was appreciated, and the sandwiches were very delicious as well. I was able to take many photos of the sunset and the starry sky, creating precious memories. The attached photo was taken with a compact digital camera that has a starry sky shooting mode that I brought along. I hope to participate in other tours again someday.

ハワイ島には複数回訪れたことがあり、マウナケア中腹からの星空を観たこともあったため、そんなに目新しいいことはないかもしれないと思いつつ参加しましたが、山頂からの雲海、夕陽にとても感動しました!高山病は全く問題なく、9月で薄着でしたが貸していただける防寒着だけで充分でした。暖かいココアもありがたかったですが、サンドイッチもとても美味しかったです。夕陽、星空とたくさん写真を撮ってもらえて、貴重な思い出になりました。添付の写真は持参した星空撮影モードがあるコンパクトデジカメで撮影したものです。またいつか他のツアーにも参加させていただきたいと思います。
