The best starry sky I’ve ever seen in a perfect environment! 最高の環境で見れた星空！

Reviewed by: あっき

From the hotel pickup, we took a break for altitude acclimatization twice, and everyone in the car was in perfect condition. The explanations about the Big Island during the journey included basic information as well as insights that only locals would know, which broadened our perspective for the rest of the itinerary and made it interesting. The lunch at the Onizuka Visitor Center was described as "normal taste for those coming from Japan," but I actually thought it was tastier than the bento I bought yesterday! The highlight was that there was almost no wind, and under the new moon, we got to see an incredibly bright starry sky that exceeded our expectations! If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would definitely want to join this tour once more.

ホテルのお迎えから、二回の高地順応を兼ねての休憩を入れてもらい、車中のメンバー全員が体調万全で行くことができました。
道中のハワイ島の説明も基本情報から、地元の方達しかしらない情報まで話してくださり、ツアー後の日程でも見る視点が広がり面白かったです。
オニツカビジターセンターでのお弁当も「日本からこられた方には普通～の味ですが・・・」と言われてましたが、逆に(昨日、購入したお弁当より美味しいなｗ)と思える味！
一番は風もほとんどなく、新月の中で、想像以上の明るい星空を見れて最高でした！またハワイ島に行くことがあれば、もう一度行きたいと思うツアーでした。

We participated as a couple.
From the hotel pickup, we took a break and headed to the Onizuka Center, where we had dinner and acclimatized as we made our way to the summit.
The sunset was wonderful, and we were able to take various photos.
During the stargazing, we could see many stars while listening to stories about the constellations.
The guide's explanations, various information, and the many photos taken made for a very satisfying tour.
It depends on the weather, but we heard that the summit can only be accessed until the end of February, so we were glad we could go.

The sunset was breathtaking, and the starry sky was perfect☆彡 It became the best memory!!! 感動のサンセット・満点の星空☆彡最高の思い出になりました！！！

Reviewed by: はしも

My first trip to the Big Island was with my husband, and since we rented a car, we initially thought about going on our own, but I'm so glad we chose a tour instead!!

There are many unpaved roads leading to the summit, making it dangerous for regular passenger cars (it seems the rental car insurance doesn't cover it...), and vehicle access is restricted, so the time to leisurely watch the starry sky is limited to the tour only.

So, we went on the tour with about 10 other people, and our guide, Tomo, was very entertaining and informative! We also had a great time with everyone else, making it a wonderful memory for us, who usually travel just the two of us!

At the summit, we were able to witness a breathtaking sunset, and after the sun went down, the sky was filled with an incredible number of stars!! The explanations about the stars were also very interesting, and I think I’ll start studying astronomy from now on!!

What I especially appreciated about this tour was that the photos taken with a professional DSLR camera are available for free download!!! They took beautiful pictures of the starry sky and sunset that you can't capture with an iPhone, in various locations! It became a great memory!

Also, they provide warm clothing, so it doesn't add to your luggage! The summit is very cold, and it was a relief to borrow a proper down jacket and pants!

I highly recommend this tour when visiting the Big Island!!!

初めてのハワイ島旅行は主人とレンタカーを借りていたので、当初は自分たちで行こうかと思っていたのですが、ツアーにして本当に良かったです！！

山頂までは舗装されていない道が多い為通常の乗用車では危険(レンタカーの保険に適用されないそう・・・)、かつ車両を規制されているそうで、星空をのんびり見る時間はツアーのみに限られているそうです。

そんなわけで約10名の皆様でツアーを回ったのですが、スタッフのともさんのお話はとても面白く情報量も豊か！そして一緒に回った皆様とも楽しく過ごせ、2人だけで旅行してきた私たちにとても素敵な思い出となりました！

山頂では感動のサンセットを見ることが出来、日が沈んでからは圧巻の満点の星空！！こちらも星の解説がとても面白く、これからは星を勉強してみようと思います！！

特にこのツアーでありがたかったのは、
本格的な一眼カメラで撮影して頂いた写真がなんと無料でダウンロードできる点！！！iPhone では撮れない素敵な星空や夕焼けの写真を、いろんなところで撮影してくれます！いい思い出になりました！

そして防寒具を貸して頂けるので荷物にならない！
山頂はとても寒く、本格的なダウンとパンツをお借りでき助かります！


ハワイ島に行く際には是非おすすめのツアーです！！！

A long-awaited tour with my husband, who has extensive experience in astrophotography, during the new moon! We’re well-prepared for the cold. Thanks to the down jacket and gloves provided by Jin, I have no worries! The bento was traditional Japanese food, a nostalgic taste! The conversations in the car and the explanations about the starry sky were enjoyable and educational! The long journey was comfortable, and the views we experienced were beyond imagination—the blue hue of the Earth's shadow after the sunset, and the service of taking a two-shot against the starry sky created wonderful memories. I want to go see the summer Milky Way again! My dream came true, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Hawaii. I was introduced to a kind, energetic, and great travel experience.

天体写真歴の長い夫と新月の時期に、念願かなってのツアー！寒さ対策バッチリして行く。仁さんの用意してくれたダウンや、手袋で心配無用！お弁当も和食、懐かしい味！車中のお話も星空解説も愉快、勉強にもなる内容！長い行き帰りも、快適で、見た世界は、想像以上の絶景、夕日が沈んだあとの地球の影の青い色、星空バックのツーショットのサービス、素晴らしい思い出ありがたい。また、夏の天の川を見に行きたい❗夢がかなって、ハワイの良さを堪能しました。親切、元気、いい旅を紹介してもらいました。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but Mauna Kea was a distant place for me. It turned out to be the best experience. The guide was kind and explained everything well, allowing us to enjoy without any worries. I was very happy to have warm drinks and rice ball bento at the chilly Onizuka Center. The sunset from the summit was very romantic, and it made me appreciate the size of the Big Island again. The starry sky after sunset was also incredibly beautiful, and it was a series of moving moments. I was very grateful that they took photos with a high-performance camera, and I could download those pictures after returning home. I couldn't have taken them myself... If you're going to Mauna Kea, I highly recommend this tour!

　ハワイには何度も行っていますが、私には遠かったマウナケア。最高の体験となりました。
　ガイドさんは親切で説明も上手く、何の心配もなく楽しむことができました。気温の低いオニツカセンターでいただいた温かい飲み物、おにぎり弁当、とても嬉しく思いました。山頂から見る夕日はとてもロマンチックでハワイ島の大きさを改めて感じ、日没後に見た星空もとても美しく、感動続きでした。高性能カメラで写真を撮影してくださり、その写真を帰国後にダウンロードできたのはとてもありがたいです。自分では撮れないですから・・・。

I participated in a trip to Hawaii Island for the first time, visiting the summit of Mauna Kea and stargazing. ハワイ島はじめての旅行　マウナケア山頂と星空観測に参加しました

Reviewed by: ありさ

On January 22nd, the second day of our trip to Hawaii Island, my husband and I participated in the Mauna Kea summit and stargazing tour.

We were picked up in front of our hotel at 2:15 PM. During the drive to Mauna Kea, we learned a lot about Hawaii Island.

We took several breaks along the way and had an early meal around 4 PM. It was a relaxing experience to enjoy Japanese food after a long time, including rice, simmered dishes, and fried fish, as we headed towards the summit.

We were advised that deep breathing and staying hydrated are effective for preventing altitude sickness. Thanks to this, we were able to reach the summit without feeling unwell! We were blessed with good weather, and at the summit, we were able to see a beautiful sunset, making it an unforgettable experience. The photos taken by the staff were wonderful, and I could really feel their professionalism.

Additionally, my husband and I were honestly unsure whether to go to the summit or the foothills due to concerns about altitude sickness, but we were glad we chose the summit.

We began stargazing around 7:00 PM. Although we were lent jackets, it was quite cold, so anyone heading to the summit should definitely bring warm outerwear. We were satisfied to see a sky full of stars that we can't see in Japan. The staff's guidance was very detailed and informative.

Overall, thanks to the staff's thoughtful care, we were able to create the best memories of Hawaii Island without any worries. Thank you very much.

1月22日ハワイ島旅行2日目で、私たち夫婦はマウナケア山頂&星空観測に参加しました。

14時15分にホテルの前に迎えに来て頂きました。
マウナケアに向かう道中もハワイ島についてたくさん教えて頂きました

途中、何度か休憩をしながら、16時ごろに早めの食事を頂きました。
ご飯、煮物、魚のフライの久々の日本食でリラックスしながら山頂に向けて、出発できました。

高山病予防のために、深呼吸と水分補給をするのが効果的と教えていただきました。おかげで体調も悪くなることなく登頂まで行くことができました！天候にも恵まれ、山頂では大変綺麗なサンセットが見ることができ忘れられない体験となりました。スタッフの方に撮ってもらった写真が素晴らしくさすがプロだなと感じました。

また、私たち夫婦は、高山病が心配でマウナケア山頂か山麗どちらにするか、正直迷っていましたが、山頂にしてよかったです。

19:00頃から星空観測をしました。上着を貸していただけましたがかなり寒いため、登頂される方は暖かい上着が必須です。
日本では見ることができない満天の星空を見ることができて満足です。スタッフの方のガイドもとても詳しくて勉強になりました。

全体を通して、スタッフの方の心配りのおかげで不安なことなく、ハワイ島最高の思い出を作ることが出来ました。

An unexpected snowy landscape and a breathtaking starry sky! まさかの雪景色と星空の絶景！

Reviewed by: たんぽぽ

Climbing a mountain over 4000 meters for the first time made me anxious, especially since I had heard that the conditions at the summit can be very harsh. However, thanks to the attentive care of our guide, everyone was able to participate without any health issues. I truly felt reassured going with a guide who knows the mountains so well. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn't see the sunset from the summit, but we were able to enjoy a breathtaking view of the sunset a little lower down, which also gave us a chance to experience the power of nature. It seems that a snowy Mauna Kea is quite rare, so perhaps we were lucky in that regard. The starry sky was like a natural planetarium, and with the interesting explanations of the constellations, I could have gazed at it forever without getting bored. It became a memorable sight. Thank you to everyone at the nature school!

初めて4000m超の山に登ること、山の上はとても過酷な環境と聞いていたこともあり、不安がありましたが、ガイドの方のきめ細やかな心配りのお陰で、誰も体調を崩すことなく、参加することができました。やはり、山のことを知り尽くしているガイドさんと行くのが安心だなぁと思いました。残念ながら今回は悪天候のため、頂上では夕陽は見られませんでしたが、少し降りたところで夕焼けの絶景を見られましたし、自然の威力を体感する機会にもなりました。雪景色のマウナケア山はとても珍しいそうなので、逆にラッキーだったのかもしれません。星空はまさに天然のプラネタリウムで、面白い星座解説と共に、いつまで眺めていても飽きることがなく、思い出に残る風景となりました。ネイチャースクールの皆さま、ありがとうございました！

Seeing snow in Hawaii is truly a surprising experience! ハワイで雪が見られるなんて本当に驚きの体験！

Reviewed by: おとさん

The guide picked us up in the order of Kona → Waikoloa → Hapuna Beach, and since we were staying in Waikoloa, our meeting time was 1:45 PM. We arrived early at Hapuna Beach, so we spontaneously decided to go whale watching from the shore. We were able to see the whales spouting from a distance. Without the guide's assistance, we definitely wouldn't have noticed them. Even with the last-minute change, they were impressive.

After all 13 participants gathered, we set off for Mauna Kea Park. We were told that it was okay to sleep during the first half since we needed to stay awake for altitude sickness prevention later, but thanks to the lively conversation, I was too excited to sleep at all in the car. We arrived at Mauna Kea Park at 3:30 PM. It was at an elevation of 2,000 meters, and Mauna Kea towered high above us. The temperature had dropped, and it was a bit chilly.

After a restroom break, we set off again and arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center at an elevation of 2,800 meters around 4 PM. Here, we had an early lunch and another restroom break. The lunch consisted of a traditional Japanese bento with fried fish and karaage, and even though we had just eaten, we finished it all. The warm miso soup was delicious. As it gets colder as we ascend, I borrowed ski pants to complete my gear (it seems they make it hard to breathe at high altitudes). Normally, they stay for about an hour, but due to the rare good weather and snow at the summit, many people were heading up, so we departed after 4:30 PM to secure a spot for the sunset. By the way, snow at the summit is usually only present until January or February, and during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, making it difficult to reach the summit, which is why a guide who was off-duty also visited that day.

After leaving the Onizuka Visitor Center, we drove on a steep gravel road. Switching to four-wheel drive, the vehicle moved steadily forward. It would be impossible to reach this place by rental car on your own. As we continued, the vegetation gradually disappeared, the clouds came into view below us, and I felt as if the sun was getting closer.

We got out of the car at 3,800 meters, above the height of Mount Fuji. The first thing that caught our eyes was a vast expanse of snow. It felt surreal to have been at a hot beach in the morning and now be in a silver world. There was even a snowman that had arrived before us, and all the participants were thrilled. We rushed over to the snow, but being at high altitude, I quickly became out of breath and felt dizzy. I had to take deep breaths and try to move slowly. That said, there were some foreigners snowboarding and taking pictures in swimsuits...

After a while, we finally headed to the summit. Many people had already arrived at the top, but we managed to secure a position to view the sunset. It was quite cold, so I borrowed a ski jacket and gloves and put on the neck warmer I had brought. Until sunset, the guide took various photos for us.

Then came the sunset. Before the sun went down, the entire area was bathed in orange, and after it set, the sky transformed into a gradient of orange, green, and blue—a sight that words cannot describe. I felt it was a scene I would never see again, and I made sure to imprint it in my memory.

After the sunset, we had to descend from the summit, so we drove down to 3,500 meters for stargazing. Even after sunset, it was still bright for a while, and we could only see Venus. As night deepened, we began to see the first magnitude stars in order. After that, we were able to observe stars and the Milky Way that we could never see in the city. The guide was knowledgeable about constellations and explained them clearly. We took commemorative photos with the Milky Way and Orion in the background, and the stargazing session came to an end.

On the way back, we stopped at Mauna Kea Park for a restroom break and to collect our cold-weather gear. They dropped us off at our hotel, and we arri

ガイドさんがコナ→ワイコロア→ハプナビーチの順に迎えに来てくださって、ワイコロアに宿泊していた私たちは13時45分の集合でした。
ハプナビーチに早く到着したため、急遽陸からホエールウォッチングをすることに。遠めからですが、クジラの潮吹きを見ることができました。ガイドさんの案内なしだったら絶対に気づきませんでした。急遽な対応でもさすがです。

その後、参加者13名全員揃って、まずはマウナケアパークに向けて出発。
後半は高山病対策のため起きている必要はあるので前半は寝ていても構わないとのことでしたが、軽快なトークのおかげでまったく寝ることはなく車の中でワクワクしていました。
マウナケアパークには15時30分に到着。ここは標高2,000mでマウナケアが高くそびえ立っていました。気温も下がっていて若干ひんやり。

トイレ休憩後、再度出発し16時過ぎに標高2,800mのオニヅカビジターセンターへ到着。
ここでは少し早めのお弁当とトイレ休憩。お弁当は日本人が作った魚のフライ、唐揚げなどが入っているザ・日本のお弁当。お昼とったばかりなのに完食でした。温かいお味噌汁も美味しかったです。山頂に行くにつれて寒くなるため、スキー用のズボンを貸してもらい装備完了（高地で履くと息があがってしまうらしいです）。
通常は1時間くらい滞在するらしいのですが、この日は久しぶりの好天&山頂に雪があるということで山頂に向かう人が多くサンセットの場所確保のために16時30分すぎに出発しました。
ちなみに山頂に雪があるのは1月、2月くらいまでで、かつその時期は天候不順で山頂に登れないことも多いらしいので、この日は非番のガイドさんもプライベートで訪れていました。

オニヅカビジターセンターを出た後は、急角度の砂利道。四駆に切り替えて車はグングンと進んでいきます。レンタカーで自力で向かうのは絶対無理です。。
その後もグイグイ進み、次第に植物の姿が見えなくなり、雲も下に見るようになり、心なしか太陽も近くに感じるようになりました。

そして富士山越えの3,800mで下車。
日本のすばるを含め各国の天文台よりも先に目に入ってきたのは一面の雪景色。午前中は暑いビーチにいたのが嘘のような銀世界でした。
先に到着した雪ダルマもあり、参加者全員が大興奮。思わず雪のもとへと駆け寄りましたが、そこは高地。あっという間に息が切れて頭がクラクラしてきました。深呼吸してなるべく体をゆっくり動かさないといけないです。といいながら、スノボしたり水着で記念撮影している外国の方もいましたが、、、

しばらくしてから、ついに山頂へ向かいます。
すでに山頂は多くの人が到着していましたが、なんとか夕陽の見えるポジションを確保できました。かなり寒いのでスキー用の上着と手袋を借り、持ってきたネックウォーマーを装着。
日没まではガイドさんが色んな写真を撮ってくれました。

そしてサンセット。日が沈む前はあたり一面がオレンジ色に染まり、日が沈んだあとはオレンジと緑と青のグラデーションで言葉で説明できない光景でした。二度と見れない光景と思い、じっくりと目に焼きつけました。

サンセット後は山頂から降りないといけないため、3,500mまで車で下山して星空観察。
日没後もまだしばらく明るく、見えるのは金星くらい。夜が深くなってくるにつれ一等星から順に見えてきました。その後は都会では見ることができない星や天の川を観察することができました。
ガイドさんは星座のことも詳しく、分かりやすく説明してくれました。天の川やオリオン座をバックに記念撮影をして星空観察は終了。

帰りはマウナケアパークに立ち寄りトイレ休憩と防寒具の回収。ホテルまで送って下さり、22時前に到着しました。あっという間の8時間でした。

マウナケアの山頂に登れるようになったのは昨年末で、また3月には行けなくなるとのこと。ハワイ島に来たなら絶対に行くべきツアーだと思います。

Volcano Highlights Tour, Rainbow Falls, Black Sand Beach, Coffee Farm with Meals

Wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Mary & Lloyd

My husband and I booked the Deluxe Circle Island Tour with Kailani Tours online @hawaiiactivities.com a few weeks before we left for our 20th anniversary on the Big Island. We loved our driver/tour guide Alana from the beginning...she was so personable, caring and knowledgeable (a former teacher). The Mercedes van was very comfortable for the 7 people on our tour and we were well provided for with plenty of water and snacks (even with my gluten free limitations). The tour was fabulous, from the Kona Joe coffee farm, lunch/tour at Volcanoes Natl Park, amazing Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, all the way to Rainbow Falls (yes, we saw a rainbow there) and beautiful Akaka Falls! It was great to see the highlights of the island at the beginning of our vacation to get the "lei" of the land so to speak, on the Big Island. This way the remainder of our trip could be spent leisurely exploring the Kohala Coast where we were staying. We highly recommend it to everyone!

It was snowing! 雪が降ってた！

It was really great! I heard that the mountains were closed due to bad weather for about a week, so I was worried about the weather, but the sunset and stars were incredibly beautiful!

There was still snow on the mountain, and it seems that being able to enter the mountain in this condition is rare, making it a very valuable experience.

At the summit, it was snowing, and I couldn't see much of the observatory, but when I descended a bit, I was able to see a beautiful sunset.

After the sun went down, many stars came out, and the explanation about the stars was interesting. I was able to see many more stars than I could from the hotel. I'm glad I joined the tour!

I was worried about restrooms and altitude sickness, but there were breaks about once an hour, and they took measures against altitude sickness, which was reassuring.

I thought it was strange to need warm clothing in Hawaii, but I realized that the warm clothing provided with the tour is essential. If you're not good with the cold, hand warmers and other cold weather measures are a must.

I brought my camera thinking I might take some photos of the stars, but I regretted not properly preparing and bringing a tripod.

Next time I participate, I will make sure to prepare my camera properly.

Thank you to the guides. I had a lot of fun. The choice of music in the car was excellent!

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ 　2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察！＜12～3月／軽食付き／英語ガイド／カイルアコナ発＞

Whale Watching Cruise ホエールウォッチングクルーズ

Reviewed by: レジーロ

I thought we would go a bit further out to watch, but we started watching near the island. I expected to see whales as close as in the photos, but they were a bit far away, and we could only see their dorsal fins. I think there are hits and misses, but it's disappointing.

もう少し沖に出てウォッチするかと思ったら島の近くで待機してウォッチング開始。写真ほどのホェールを観れると思いきやちょっと遠い上に背鰭が見れる程度でした。当たり外れはあると思いますが残念です。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

The appearance of the royalty in the canoe was great ❤︎ カヌーでの王族登場が良かったです❤︎

Reviewed by: かずがーが

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel and participated because I am learning hula. As others have mentioned, I don't think reconfirmation is necessary. When I arrived around 5 PM, there was a long line. Most of the people were foreigners. Arriving by canoe from the sea was something unique that other luau shows don't have, and it was very lovely. The food was quite tasty. The show was exciting and enjoyable. It would have been even better if there had been a modern hula show as well.

キングカメカメハホテルに滞在していたのと、フラを習っているので参加しました。
他の方も書かれているように、リコンファームは必要ないかと思います。
17時頃に行くと長蛇の列。
殆どが外国の方でした。
海からカヌーでの登場は他のルアウショーにはなく、とても素敵でした。
お料理は普通に美味しかったです。
ショーの内容も迫力があって楽しめました。
現代フラのショーもあったら尚良かったかな。

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

Great experience

Reviewed by: Guilietta Kim

It was very impressive that a tour guide has shared a lot of stories about cultures of Hawai'i during the entire tour program. The courses were absolutely nice. The view of a coffee farm was so beautiful and the dinner was much nicer than I expected. When it comes to stargazing tour, the tour guide moved the spot for better sightseeing and it was brilliant. Even though I am not a native speaker, I fully enjoyed this tour program and I highly recommend this one to everyone.

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

I suffered from seasickness. 船酔いに苦しみました

Reviewed by: たつや

My wife and I participated together. It was a nice day with some waves, but both of us suffered from severe seasickness. While we were snorkeling in the water, it was fine, but once we got back on the boat, the seasickness returned, and we both struggled until we returned to port. That said, the crew's performance and the tour itself were completely fine. The low rating is simply due to our own physical condition. The meeting place was at the beautiful port in Kona, which was also convenient for sightseeing.

妻と二人で参加しました。天気の良い日で波も多少でしたが、自分と妻の両方とも酷い船酔いに苦しみました。シュノーケリングで海の中にいるときは良いのですが船に上がると船酔いが再発して帰港まで二人して苦しみました。とはいえクルーの皆様の働きぶりやツアーそのものは全く問題ないものです。評価が低いのは単純に自分達の体調の問題からの経験です。集合場所は観光にも便利なコナの港でとても綺麗でした。

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea efficiently. 効率よく美しい海を楽しめました

Reviewed by: ふーちゃん

The price was high, but it was a worthwhile experience. The meeting point at the Marriott Hotel is hard to find, so it's better to ask the Japanese-speaking staff at the front desk. The restroom is shown to you before boarding.

値段は高かったですが、それに見合う体験でした。マリオットホテルの集合場所がわかりづらいので、フロントの日本語が話せるスタッフに聞いた方がよいです。トイレは乗船前に案内されます。

ハワイ島　セグウェイで巡るカイルア・コナ名所散策ツアー！サンセットプランあり＜英語ガイド＞

Segway tour セグウェイツアー

Reviewed by: mikimama

It's easy to ride. Anyone can get on quickly, and it's not scary to ride on the road. I wanted to ride more. It feels like I can go anywhere with this. Two hours isn't enough. I don't get tired because I'm not walking.
The wind feels nice, and the view was amazing.

乗り方簡単です。誰でもすぐ乗れるし　道路走るのも怖くない。もっと乗っていたかった。これでどこでも行けそう。2時間でも足りない。歩かないから疲れない。
風も気持ちいいし　眺めも最高でした。

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

It was the best night view! 最高の夜景でした！

Reviewed by: はらはら

My first time on the Big Island. When I think of the Big Island, I think of the night views and stargazing at Mauna Kea, so I decided to join the tour.

The actual tour was truly fulfilling, and the scenery at Mauna Kea as it transitioned from sunset to night was amazing. Additionally, the guide took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories.

To prevent altitude sickness, we were encouraged to drink water during the bus ride, and music was played to help keep us awake, which showed great consideration.

I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

はじめてのハワイ島。ハワイ島といえば、マウナケア山での夜景や星空観測だと思っていたので参加しました。
実際のツアーは本当に充実していて、夕焼け時から夜にかわるマウナケアでの景色が素晴らしかったです。また、ガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくれ、とても良い思い出ができました＾＾
高山病にならないように、バスでの移動中に水を飲んだり眠らないようにするために音楽をかけていただいたりと、とても気づかいの感じられるツアーでした！
皆さんにおススメできると思います！

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

I'm suffering from seasickness. 船酔いが大変

Reviewed by: h.i

A one-hour cruise to the snorkeling point. If you get seasick, be sure to take precautions! The food, location, and the crew's coolness were all top-notch! We even got to meet dolphins at the end! If you're going snorkeling, I think it's better to go to beaches like Honaunau or Kahalu'u.

シュノーケリングポイントまで1時間のクルージング。船酔いする方は必ず対策を！
食事、ロケーション、クルーのカッコ良さは最高！
最後にイルカとも会えた！
シュノーケリングだったら、ホナウナウ、カハルウ等のビーチに行った方が良いと思う。

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 couldn't go to the summit of Mauna Kea because access was prohibited, but... マウナケア山頂までは通行不可で行けなかったけど

Reviewed by: ma．

Although we ended up stargazing at an alternative location, we were able to enjoy it thoroughly. I hope to gaze at the stars from the summit of Mauna Kea again someday...

Also, the guide's explanations were very clear, and I was particularly impressed by their comment that "constellations are imagination."

代替地での星空観測になりましたが、充分に楽しむことができました。
いつかまた、マウナケア山頂から星空を眺めることができますように。。。

あと、ガイドの方の説明がとても解かりやすく、「星座は想像力」と話されていたのが印象に残っています。

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Tour Guide Rigid

Reviewed by: big island tour

The tour was nice and Big Island is beautiful, but our tour guide gave an extensive history of Big Island which felt removed and disconnected from what we were seeing. The guide was asked multiple times from other people on the tour about things they had noticed during the tour but the guide was stuck on the historical narrative and refused to talk about "politics", yet the questions being asked were quite simple and relevant to what we were seeing. He was very knowledgeable but it made for a very tiring and boring ride. It would be great if he could break up the historical narrative with some more present-day information about Big Island.
