マウナケア山麓 星空観測ツアー　ボイリング・ポッツやカウマナケイブなど穴場スポットにも立ち寄り＜夕食付／英語ガイド／ヒロ地区発＞

A sunset I've never seen before. 見たことのない夕焼け

Reviewed by: Okei

I participated alone during my stay in Hilo. It was great to find a Mauna Kea tour departing from Hilo, as they are not easy to come by. The scenery while driving through Mauna Kea felt like I had arrived in another world. The sunset and the evening glow were wonderful. The starry sky was also breathtaking, with the Scorpius and the Southern Cross clearly visible. I'm not good at English, so I listened to the guide's talk while translating it with a translation app. It was a tour that nature lovers would absolutely enjoy.

ヒロに滞在中に一人で参加しました。
ヒロ発のマウナケアのツアーがなかなかなくて、
見つけられて良かったです。
マウナケアの懐を走っている時の景色は、
地球外に来たのではないかと思ってしまうような異空間でした。
また、サンセット、からの夕焼けは素晴らしかったです。
そして星空も、さそり座や南十字星が綺麗に見えて感動しました。
英語が苦手で、ガイドさんのトークは翻訳アプリで翻訳しながら聞いていました。
自然好きにはたまらないツアーでした。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: ハワイ島大好き！

At the departure point in Kona, there were many clouds, and it rained along the way, which was concerning, but at the summit, it was above the clouds and the weather was nice. The sunset reflected beautifully off the clouds above. The starry sky was also wonderful. The guide was supposed to speak in English, but they communicated clearly in Japanese for the Japanese participants. The sandwiches were very delicious, and the cold weather preparations were good. I brought a knit hat, gloves, and a down jacket, so combined with the ski wear they lent me, I didn't feel too cold. I think this is one of the tours you should definitely take if you go to the Big Island.

コナ出発時点では、雲が多く、途中雨も降ったりで心配でしたが、山頂は雲の上で、良い天気でした。サンセットも丁度その上の雲に反射してとても綺麗でした。星空も素晴らしかったです。ガイドは英語で、との事でしたが、日本人には日本語でわかりやすく対応してくれました。サンドウィッチもとても美味しく、防寒対策も良かったです。ニット帽と手袋、ダウンは持参したので、それプラス貸してくれたスキーウェアでさほど寒さは感じませんでした。ハワイ島に行くなら、一度は行くべきツアーの一つだと思いました。

I was worried about the English guide, but the explanations in Japanese were clear and polite, making it very enjoyable to participate.

It was great that the guide took photos with a DSLR camera of each group against the backdrop of the sunset and the starry sky at the summit of Mauna Kea. In particular, seeing the Southern Cross clearly, which can only be seen in the Northern Hemisphere at this time of year, was amazing.

Additionally, the service of delivering the photos immediately to my smartphone was very appreciated.

If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again next time.

I had the best memories from my first experience at Mauna Kea! Since it was a full moon, I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars or reach the summit due to the rain forecast, but the weather on the day was perfect with no wind and no clouds. We were the only Japanese participants, but the guide spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The detailed explanations of the constellations, the observation of the full moon, and especially the sunset at the summit were unforgettable experiences. I will participate again.

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds and the starry sky. 雲海に沈む夕日と満点の星空

Reviewed by: さえさえ

After getting accustomed to the body, we enjoyed watching the sunset at the summit. The sea of clouds stretched as far as the eye could see, changing from white to orange as the sun set. It was a calm and peaceful scene with no wind.

Then, we descended a bit to enjoy stargazing. There were explanations about the Southern Cross and various constellations, but what surprised me the most was seeing artificial satellites with the naked eye. We also spotted a few shooting stars.

The guide took photos with their own camera and sent them to us, and when they captured us, a shooting star happened to be in the frame, which was moving. The guide was fluent in Japanese and showed great attention to detail, making us feel very well taken care of. Thank you very much!

Symptoms similar to altitude sickness become common. 高山病に近い症状に普通になります。

Reviewed by: shigeo

Everyone is posting only positive things, so I would like to share a negative experience. My wife and I, a couple in our 60s, participated in this trip. Both of us enjoy mountain climbing back home and climb mountains close to 3,000 meters every year, so we thought we would be fine at Mauna Kea, which is 4,205 meters high. However, after staying at the summit, my wife's condition quickly worsened; she began to experience numbness in her hands and feet and her complexion became poor. Fortunately, with oxygen provided by the staff, she improved, but she still felt the effects until the following morning.

Since we are climbing a significantly high mountain, I recommend considering the risk of altitude sickness before participating.

皆さん、良い事ばかりを投稿していますのであえてネガティブな投稿をさせていただきます。

They arrived on time to pick us up. All the tour participants were Japanese, and they provided guidance in Japanese. The explanations were very easy to understand.

After acclimatizing at the Onizuka Center, we headed to the summit of Mauna Kea. It was quite cold at the summit, and although we brought our own cold weather gear, we borrowed some as well. There were a few clouds, but we were able to see a beautiful sunset. After watching the sunset, we did some stargazing at an altitude of about 3,500 meters. It was a bit cloudy, which made it hard to see, and that was a bit disappointing.

My husband and I were looking for a romantic way to cap off our week in Hawaii, and this was the perfect cruise for us. We were looking for something “quintessentially” Hawaiian and what is more iconic than a sunset dinner cruise?

They were full of commentary and stories about their island, and very patient answering all of our stupid questions. Mahalo and aloha, wish we could stay there!

Reviewed by: えんどー

Pickup at the parking lot behind IGM.
The tour was conducted with just seven Japanese participants. We then met up with a couple at the Onizuka Center. The lively conversation led by Stephan, who grew up at Yokota Air Base in Japan and is known as "Suu-san," included fun chats, preparations for the tour, and important points to note, and before we knew it, we arrived at Onizuka S. We took a break to acclimatize to the altitude. Although the weather forecast looked questionable, we were hopeful since it was reported that the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea was visible yesterday despite the clouds.
As sunset approached, the weather turned ominous, and we waited in the car, but a snowstorm hit, leading to a recommendation from the ranger to descend. Along the way, we saw several broken-down vehicles, but with Stephan's never-give-up spirit (laughs), we stopped at a stargazing point to wait for a break in the clouds.
We observed Saturn and M87 through a telephoto lens, and with a DSLR, we captured images of Orion while enjoying sandwiches and cocoa.
We took photos of couples in the dark, and there was so much to enjoy. We headed back, hoping to see the sunset next time.
I felt lucky to enjoy the tour without language barriers since it was exclusively for Japanese participants.
I've already seen the sunrise, so next time I want to complete the sunset experience.
Thank you, Stephan!

Reviewed by: Penpen

The cruise ship was luxurious, and the snacks were as advertised. The restrooms were relatively clean and spacious. I was impressed by the blue ocean and vast sea right after departure! The view of the natural beauty of the Big Island from the ship was amazing!

It might have been a time of high waves, but the rocking was intense, comparable to a roller coaster, and there were many people feeling unwell on board. I kept looking at the sea to avoid getting seasick.

After more than an hour of intense rocking without spotting any whales, we turned around, and after two and a half hours, we got quite close to the departure point when we finally saw a whale in the distance. The two people who joined me were feeling too sick to see anything, so they accepted that they would have to rely on the video I took.

I personally don't get seasick, so I was fine, but it might not be recommended for those who do.

客船は豪華で、軽食も情報通りでした。
お手洗いも割とキレイですし、広めでした。
出発直後は青い海、広い海に感動しました！
船から見るハワイ島の大自然も最高でした！

波の高い時期だったのかもしれませんが、とにかく揺れがすごく絶叫マシーン並みで、船内に体調不良者続出で、もらい◯◯しないように海を見続けていました。

1時間以上激しい揺れの中進んでもクジラは見つからず、Uターンして出航して2時間半経ち、出発地点にかなり近くなってきたところで遠くにクジラが見えました。一緒に参加した2人は具合が悪過ぎて何も見られず私の撮った動画で見れたことにしよう、と納得した、と言う感じでした。

私は船酔いしないタイプなので大丈夫でしたが、船酔いする方にはあまりオススメではないかもしれません。

While it may be a lack of research on my part, I would like to see a review of the tour promotion that prominently features nighttime photos of volcanic craters. It would be helpful to clearly inform participants that this is a tour where you generally won't see magma erupting from the volcano. Although it seems there is a note mentioning this, it only states that "it may not be visible," which gives the impression that it's a minor possibility. However, upon arriving at the site, it becomes clear that the chance of actually seeing it is quite rare and would be considered very lucky.

下調べ不足といえばそこまでだが、夜間の火山火口の写真を前面に出したツアー募集は見直して欲しい。基本的には火山からマグマが出るなんて見れないツアーということは通知しておいて欲しい。注意書きにその旨を書いているようだが、注意書きだけ見ると「見れない場合がある」程度の表記だか、現地に来ると「見れたら相当にラッキー」という確率の話。

The purpose of going to the Big Island was to visit the summit of Mauna Kea, but I joined a tour based on the information that it would be better. The English-speaking guide was very kind and friendly, making it a fun experience. The weather was great, and I was able to encounter truly beautiful sights. I am grateful for the wonderful sunset. Regarding the starry sky, it was a full moon that day, so if there hadn't been a moon, we might have seen an even more amazing starry sky. However, the guide showed us the moon's surface through a telescope that clearly captured the craters, provided us with photos of the moon, and gave detailed explanations, allowing us to have a great time. Mauna Kea truly became a wonderful memory.

It was cloudy. 曇りでした

Reviewed by: Oahu808

I knew that the tour date was not suitable for stargazing due to the seasonal factors and being a few days after the full moon, but I had made my decision to participate after the travel date was set, so I was prepared for that. On the day of the tour, our guide was Stefan, who grew up in Japan, and he provided a fun experience. According to the guide, the moon's influence was not a problem since it was already a few days past the full moon and the moon would rise after the tour ended, but he was concerned about the clouds. I wished for no clouds in the sky, but unfortunately, my worries came true. However, there was just enough of a gap to see the sunset.

I understood that due to the timing, it was more likely that we wouldn't see the stars, but I was really looking forward to it, so it was truly disappointing.

For cold weather preparation, I wore: on top, a tank top + short-sleeve Heattech + a slightly thicker long-sleeve T-shirt + a light down jacket + a scarf around my neck; on the bottom, Heattech leggings + warm windproof pants with a boa lining (I also wore a long skirt that I had on from the start). I put on the warm clothing I brought with me at the Onizuka Visitor Center. It was a windless day at the summit, but it was still cold, and I borrowed a jacket from the guide. The jacket I borrowed was really warm and a great help. I also appreciated the warm cocoa service. My friend brought a hot pack, which was helpful too. I wished I had brought gloves. I recommend bringing gloves that allow you to touch your phone screen (like those without fingertips).

However, the restroom situation was a bit challenging. The guide advised us to use the facilities at the Onizuka Visitor Center, saying there were portable toilets at the summit, but they weren't clean. I made sure to go before the tour, but I tend to need the restroom frequently, and the cold made it worse. I was also told to drink water frequently to avoid altitude sickness, so I couldn't avoid hydration. I remember there were about four portable toilets at the summit, but when I peeked in because I couldn't hold it anymore, they were too dirty to use. So, the off-road return trip was really tough (laughs). This seemed to be a common occurrence, as the guide mentioned on the way back that it was hard to hold it on the off-road path. By the way, the restrooms at the Onizuka Visitor Center are flush toilets, so you can use them with peace of mind. However, since there were participants from other tour companies and the overall number of people was large, there was a long line for the women's restroom.

It was very disappointing not to see the beautiful sunset or the starry sky, but it was truly a valuable experience to reach a height higher than Mount Fuji, and the guide was a veteran, which was reassuring. I hope to join another tour with this company someday and see the sunset and the starry sky next time.

ツアー申込日が季節的なことと満月の数日後のため、星空ツアーに適していないことはわかっていたのですが、旅行日が決定した後に参加を決めたので、覚悟はしていました。当日のガイドさんは日本育ちのステファンさんで、楽しく案内してくださいました。ガイドさん曰く、月の影響については既に満月より数日過ぎていて、月が昇るのがツアーが終わった後の時間であるため問題はないこと、しかし雲が心配とのこと。どうか雲が空にかかっていませんように、とその願いも虚しく、心配が的中してしまいました。しかし、かろうじて隙間があり、そこから夕焼けは見ることができました。

時期的な問題もあったので、無理かもしれない可能性の方が高かいことは承知していたものの、もしかして。。。と、星空をとても楽しみにしていたので、本当に残念でした。

寒さ対策としては、上：タンクトップ＋半袖ヒートテック＋少々厚手の長Tシャツ＋ライトダウンジャケット＋ストールを首に巻く、下：ヒートテックのレギンス＋暖かいボア裏地付きの風を通さないタイプのズボン（最初からはいていた長いスカートもそのまま着ていました）で挑みました。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで手荷物で持ってきた防寒着を着込みました。山頂でも風が全くない日でしたが、さすがに山頂は寒く、ガイドさんにジャケットをお借りしました。お借りしたジャケットが本当に暖かく、助かりました。温かいココアのサービスも嬉しかったです。友達が持ってきてくれたホッカイロも助かりました。手袋を持っていけばよかったなぁと思いました。携帯の画面が触れるような（指先がないタイプとか）手袋があったら持って行くことをお勧めします

ただ、トイレ事情がちょっと大変でした。ガイドさんからは、オニヅカビジターセンターで行っておいてくださいね、山頂にも簡易トイレがあるけど綺麗じゃないので。と案内があったので、ちゃんと行っておいたのですが、元々トイレに行く頻度が多い私も、寒いのせいで更にトイレが近くなります。そして、高山病にならないように、お水をちびちび頻繁に飲むようにと言われていたので、水分を取らないということもできませんでした。山頂の簡易トイレは４つほどあったように記憶していますが、トイレが我慢できそうになくて、使ってみようかと覗いてみたところ、汚くてどうしても使えませんでした。だから帰りのオフロードが本当に辛かった（笑）それはお馴染みの出来事のようで、ガイドさんも帰り道、オフロードの道がトイレ我慢してると辛いよね〜って話してました。ちなみに、オニヅカビジターセンターのトイレは水洗なので安心して使えます。しかし他のツアー会社の参加者もいますし、全体に人数が多いのもあって、女性トイレは長い列ができていました。

綺麗な夕陽も星空も見れなかったことは大変残念でしたが、富士山より高いところまで行けたことは本当に貴重な体験でしたし、ガイドさんもベテランの方で安心できました。いつか、またこちらの会社のツアーに参加して、次こそは夕陽と星空を見たいと思います。

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

Amazing! 最高！

Reviewed by: ずらたん

I was moved to see a starry sky like a planetarium! If possible, I strongly recommend going around the new moon when there is less light in the sky.

プラネタリウムみたいな星空が見れて感動しました！！
日程調整が可能であれば、空に明かりが少ない新月周辺で行くことを強くお勧めします。

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

Great tour

Reviewed by: Elena M

Henry is a wonderful tour guide. He told us so many interesting things about Big Island culture, history, plants, geology, stars. He was great with the kids and took a good care of us all. The Rainbow fall was beautiful and the banyan tree nearby was insane! The star gazing was great even though the conditions were not the best (bright moon). For me the best experience of the tour was getting deep inside the cave - it was amazing, I had never seen anything like it.
