Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

One of the highlights of our trip!

Reviewed by: Hawaiian First Timer

Husband and I throughly enjoyed the excursion! Our guide blew us away with his well rounded knowledge of the island, its geography and history. The coffee farm and meal were a special treat before an evening of stargazing.

It was amazing. 最高でした。

Reviewed by: Miya

This was our second time, but since it was my niece's first time on the Big Island, we participated. My sister, who is not good with heights, felt unwell, but our guides, Shin and Matsuzaki, were very kind and supportive. (She used oxygen a couple of times, but she said she really enjoyed it.) My niece, who was participating for the first time, was thrilled and felt it was great to join. Matsuzaki's storytelling was very enjoyable, and during the stargazing, we forgot about the cold and shortness of breath, laughing a lot while enjoying the stars. Next time, I would like to join another tour with a different Masashi Nature School.

私たちは2度目でしたが、ハワイ島初めての姪っ子がいたので、参加しました。
高所が不得意な姉が気分を悪くしましたが、ガイドのシンさんや、松崎さんが優しく対応してくださり、（2回ほど酸素吸入しましたが）、姉もとても楽しめたと言っていました。初参加の姪は、大はしゃぎで参加してよかったと思っています。
松崎さんのおしゃべりはとても楽しく、星空観察の際は、寒さや息苦しさも忘れて大笑いをしながら星空を楽しめました。
次回は、また別のマサシネーチャースクールのツアーに参加したいと思います。

Since it was my first time on the Big Island, I really wanted to go to Mauna Kea, so I joined the tour!

The guide was a lot of fun, and we were laughing so much in the car. Before I knew it, we arrived at the Onizuka Center. We had an early dinner there, and the bento with miso soup was delicious—it had been a while since I had Japanese food.

The weather was really nice that day, and both the sunset and the starry sky were beyond words in their beauty!

Depending on the weather, I definitely recommend this tour.

初ハワイ島だったのでぜひマウナケアに行きたいと思い参加しました！

ガイドさんがとっても楽しい方で車の中は大爆笑。あっと言う間にオニヅカセンターへ。そこで早めの夕飯を食べましたが、お弁当に味噌汁付きで久しぶりの日本食が美味しかったです。

当日はとても天気が良かったこともあり、サンセットも星空も言葉では言い表せない素晴らしさでした！

天気にもよりますが、ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです。

I was lucky to have great weather. The starry sky changed my perspective on life. I saw two big shooting stars, and the view of the red glow from Kilauea Volcano reflecting on the clouds was magical. They also took commemorative photos with a high-sensitivity camera, and I'm looking forward to downloading them.
They provided information on how to cope with the thin air at high altitudes, and there are oxygen tanks available for those who feel unwell, which is reassuring.
Seeing is believing.

天気に恵まれてラッキーでした。満天の星空は、人生観が変わります。大きな流れ星も、２つ見え、キラウェア火山の赤が雲に映る景色も幻想的でした。高感度カメラで記念写真も撮ってくれて、ダウンロードするのが楽しみです。

We participated as a couple. We were worried about altitude sickness, but we were completely fine. We wore jackets, long pants, and knit hats for warmth. Additionally, we wore borrowed cold-weather gear, so we weren't cold at the summit. The sunset at the top was incredibly beautiful and moving. The stargazing was also amazing, and it was the first time I took photos with the starry sky as a backdrop. After returning to Japan, I downloaded the photos and was pleased with how well they turned out. It was the best memory. Thank you very much.

Mauna Kea, where various astronomical telescopes from different countries, including the Subaru Telescope, are installed. Since it's quite rare to tour the interior of the Subaru Telescope, I booked this tour.

The vehicle, which can accommodate about 14 people, was full. To ensure everyone had a good view from the windows, the guide kindly arranged seat changes at each rest stop, making sure everyone was treated fairly.

After enjoying a lunch at the Onizuka Center on Mauna Kea, we ascended an unpaved road with a steep incline, and the scenery from there was like being on the moon, with a landscape entirely of brown soil, creating a different world.

The sunset viewed from the various observatories on Mauna Kea was truly magnificent. After the sunset, we descended a bit to stargaze. I was amazed by the countless stars, and under the stunning night sky, we learned about the Southern Cross and various other stars that cannot be seen in Japan. It was a truly wonderful experience. I was very satisfied with the tour.

スバル望遠鏡等の様々な国の天体望遠鏡が設置されているマウナケア山。なかなかスバル望遠鏡の内部見学はできないため、このツアーを予約しました。
14名程度が乗れる車は満席でした。窓からの景色が良く見えるようにと、ガイドさんが休憩場所ごとに席替えをし、皆さんが公平になるように配慮してくださいました。
マウナケア山のオニヅカセンターでお弁当を頂いた後、急勾配の舗装されていない道を上っていくのですが、そこから見える景色はまるで月にいるような茶色の土一色で、別世界でした。
マウナケア山の各国の天文台付近から見たサンセットは本当に素晴らしかったです。
また、サンセットの後、少し下った場所で星空を見学しました。こんなに星があったのか、と驚くほどの満天の星空の下、日本では見ることのできない南十字星や様々な星の解説をしてくださり、とても素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。大満足のツアーでした。

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

Good day trip option

Reviewed by: Deonna C.

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.

Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

Unfortunately, it was raining down below, and when we had an early dinner, we ate our bento in the drizzle, but the teriyaki chicken and the miso soup we were given were very delicious. When we reached the summit, the wind was very strong, and the warm clothing we borrowed was very helpful.

During the stargazing, what impressed me the most was seeing the Ocean Entry glowing red. The Southern Cross was also clearly visible. It's a shame that we couldn't see many stars due to the weather, but I was thrilled just to witness the beautiful sunset. Thank you very much. Later, when I took a helicopter tour over Kīlauea Volcano, seeing the incredible steam rising from Ocean Entry made me feel even more moved, realizing that I had seen this from Mauna Kea. I appreciate the guide from Okinawa. It was a lot of fun.

下界は生憎雨が降っていて、早めの夕食取るときは霧雨の中お弁当食べましたが、照り焼きチキンと入れていただいた味噌汁がとてもおいしかったです。山頂に登るととても風が強く、貸していただいた防寒着がとても役立ちました。

A beautiful sunset and starry sky. 綺麗な夕日と星空

The sunset near the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing a little lower down were incredibly beautiful and moving.

I heard that the stars are more visible when the moon is not out, but when we participated, the moon was present. However, we enjoyed observing the moon through a telescope, so it was still a great experience.

Additionally, our guide shared insights that only someone living on the Big Island would know, which was helpful for our trip. 😊

マウナケア頂上付近からの夕日と、そこから少し下った場所での星空観察はとても綺麗で感動しました。

星空は月が出ない方が空が暗くて星が綺麗に見えるとのことでしたが、私たちが参加した時は月が出てました。ただ、それはそれで月を望遠鏡で観察させてもらうなど楽しめました。

また、ガイドさんがハワイ島に暮らしているからこそわかるような情報を教えてくれたりして、それも旅行の役に立ちました(^^)

I've been to various luaus, and this was the best. Really. My three-generation family ranges in age from 3 y/o to 70, and everyone had a great time. The 7 y/o was truly amazed by everything, which was delightful. The event was well organized, informative, and vastly entertaining. The food and beverages we're very good, high quality, and plentiful. No dishes ran out, and the selection was excellent. The arrival of the King and his court was fun. We enjoyed the extra touches, like the Hawaiians tattoos, and hula lesson. The dancers were excellent and engaging; we especially enjoyed those involving fire! I would definitely recommend this luau. I don't think there were any bad seats, and the view was glorious.

Shooting Star 流れ星★

Reviewed by: punkin

You can experience both summer and winter temperatures at the same time. At 2800m on Onizuka, from around 16:30 for about an hour, we will have a bento while acclimatizing to the altitude (you might not want to expect much in terms of taste... but if you don't eat, you'll be hungry on the way back. I managed to eat it). However, it gets suddenly cold as soon as you get out of the car. They will lend you down jackets, but you will need to put on your outerwear just before reaching the summit, so I recommend preparing some of your own gear. By the way, I wore a T-shirt, a hoodie, a certain company's ultra-light down jacket, a block tech parka, a knit cap, and gloves, and I was able to enjoy both the sunset and stargazing without freezing. We were blessed with clear weather and saw many shooting stars, which was great.

真夏の気温と真冬の気温を一度に体験出来ます。2800mのオニヅカで16:30過ぎから1時間程、高度順応兼ねてお弁当をいただきます(味は期待しない方が良いかも…でも食べておかないと帰りにお腹が空いてしまいます。頑張って食べました)が、車を降りたらいきなり寒いです。ダウン上下を貸していただけますが、上着着用は頂上に登る直前ですのである程度ご自身で用意して行く事をお勧めします。ちなみに自分はTシャツ、パーカー、某社ウルトラライトダウン、同ブロックテックパーカー、ニット帽、手袋を着用で最後まで凍えること事なく、サンセット、星空観測共に楽しめました。晴天に恵まれ、流れ星もたくさん見れて良かったです。

Mauna Kea - sunset, stars, and lava. マウナケア~夕日と星と溶岩と。

Reviewed by: Panda

On June 7th, I participated in the Mauna Kea summit tour with a friend. Our guide was Matsuzaki-san (I'll refer to him as Mats-chan). Mats-chan is funny. He was a big hit. (Well, I don’t know any other guides, but still!) He started with his self-introduction, and the entire tour was filled with puns and jokes. Since we were climbing to a high altitude in a short time, it seems that if you sleep, your body can't keep up... To keep the guests awake (or maybe he just can't help but talk when he thinks of something? (laugh)), he kept chatting and making us laugh. At the photo spots, he used his experience to take amazing pictures for us. You could really feel his enthusiasm to entertain the guests; he is truly a passionate and great guide. Did Mats-chan's spirit reach the heavens? The sky, which looked a bit suspicious, cleared up enough for us to see the sunset, and we were able to enjoy the starry sky as well.

Since Kilauea volcano was active, we even got to see the lava in the darkness of the night. I believe that the improvement in the weather was Mats-chan's psychic power (laugh).

I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but I only experienced some tingling in my hands while descending. I'm really glad I participated. The summit is seriously cold, so I highly recommend this tour, which provides warm clothing for both the top and bottom (they say this is the only tour that offers bottom wear as well... am I promoting them? (laugh)). I'm not promoting them, though.

Oh, and I would have been happier if the bento was a little more delicious (bitter laugh). I had a great experience. Mahalo.

６月７日、友人と二人でマウナケア山頂ツアーに参加させて貰いました。
ガイドは松崎さん（以下、松ちゃんとさせて頂きます＾＾）。
松ちゃん、面白いです。大当たりでした。（いや、他のガイドさんを知ってるわけでもなんでも無いのですが＾＾；）ご自分の自己紹介から始まって、沿道周辺ガイドの全てが駄洒落とギャグのオンパレードでして( ´∀｀ )。標高の高いところまで短時間で登るため、眠ると体が追い付かないらしく…ゲストを眠らせない為（いや。単に思いついたら言わずにいられないのかも？(笑)）にずぅっとしゃべり続け、笑わせてくれました。そして撮影スポットでは、これまでの経験を駆使して素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれるのです。私達ゲストを楽しませようという心意気がひしひしと伝わって来るような、ホントに熱い良いガイドさんです。そんな松ちゃんの心意気が天にも通じたのか？ちょっぴり怪しめの空だったのが、ちゃんと夕日を拝むことが出来、星空もきっちり見せて頂けました。
折しもキラウエア火山が活動中だったので、夜の暗闇で遠くその溶岩まで見る事まで出来てしまいました。きっとあの天気の回復は松ちゃんの念力だったのだと思います（笑）。

高山病とか少しビビッていたのですが、下って来る際の手先のしびれだけで済みました。参加してホントに良かったと思います。そして山頂はマジで寒いので、上下の防寒ウエアを貸し出して下さるこのツアー（ボトムまで貸し出してくれるのは、ここだけなんだそうです･･･って、回し者か？(笑)）とてもお勧めです。回し者じゃないです＾＾。
あ、あとはお弁当がもう少しだけ美味しいと嬉しかったかな（苦笑）いい経験をさせて頂きました。Mahalo

My first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii was highly anticipated, especially since the tour of Kilauea Volcano was canceled due to the eruption. I was really looking forward to the starry sky from Mauna Kea.

Since we left the hotel before 4 PM, I was able to explore the town of Kona during the day. I'm glad I could make good use of my limited schedule.

Climbing to over 4,000 meters was thrilling, but we quickly reached the summit in a 4WD vehicle. The lunch we had at the Onizuka Visitor Center was just like a Japanese bento, which was comforting. (laughs)

We were blessed with good weather, and we were able to see both the sunset and the starry sky under great conditions! I think it was my first time seeing the Southern Cross.

Additionally, not only the starry sky but also the sight of Kilauea Volcano's eruption glowing red in the darkness was moving. It was lucky that we couldn't get close due to traffic restrictions around the volcano. This might be a unique landscape that can only be seen now.

The tour guide, Tyler, was attentive to the participants throughout the tour, which was nice. I definitely want to use this service again.

The sunset, starry sky, and moon viewed from Mauna Kea... マウナケアから見る夕陽、星空、そして月．．．

Reviewed by: Mahana　Hiroko

In 2018, it seemed like the weather was unpredictable, and I was worried about whether I would be able to see the sunset and starry sky.

At 15:35, we were picked up from the hotel, and according to our cheerful guide, Kon, the previous day had bad weather, but the area near the summit of Mauna Kea above the cloud sea had clear blue skies. Lucky!!!

We were able to see a beautiful sunset! Our guide, Kon, took several wonderful photos of us, a group of eight, along with a newlywed couple, with the sunset in the background. Everyone was having a great time posing for pictures.

After that, we moved to a different location for stargazing. Since it was quite windy, they made a windbreak with the car, which was thoughtful. Good job! The day we participated was about two days after the full moon, so the moon rose a little later, allowing us to see the starry sky. We could also see the Southern Cross. Additionally, we were able to see the sky glowing red from the distant eruption of Kilauea. It was a unique experience.

And then the moon rose. It felt like it was the brightest moon I had ever seen. To enjoy stargazing, it’s best to avoid the full moon. It would be wise to check the moon phases before making a reservation.

Of course, taking photos with the starry sky in the background requires a good camera; otherwise, the stars won’t show up. Kon shared his wonderful knowledge about the stars and explained everything in a fun way while using a pointer. The guiding beyond just the starry sky was also excellent.

Whether you can enjoy an activity tour largely depends on the guide. In my personal opinion, Kon was really great.

Since all the participants were from the same hotel, we were able to return to the hotel earlier than expected. I think we arrived around 22:45.

On the day we participated, it was quite windy near the summit, but the temperature was higher than usual, so I was fine with just a trainer and a light down jacket from Uniqlo, along with the jacket and pants borrowed from the tour company. I did use a portable hand warmer just in case. (The portable hand warmer needs to be taken out of the bag below to warm up, as Kon advised.)

I think I got a bit too excited at the summit, as I had a slight headache on the way back. (It didn’t get too bad.) I realized that it can happen on the way back too.

I thoroughly enjoyed the nature of the Big Island. I highly recommend this tour. Next time, I plan to go see the sunrise.

It was a very good experience. Thank you, guide Kon!

その後、場所を移動して星空観察。風が強かったので、車で風よけを作ってくれる配慮。Good Job!　参加した日が満月の翌々日くらいで、月が昇る時間が少し遅くなっていたので、星空を見ることができました。南十字星も見えました。そして、遠くにキラウエアの噴火で赤く染まる空を見ることもできました。今ならではですね。
そして、月が昇るのも。こんなに明るい月は、初めてのような気がします。
星空をみるには、満月を避けたいですね。事前に月の満ち欠けを調べてから、申し込みをした方が良いですね。
もちろん、星空をバックに写真撮影、好感度のカメラでないと星は写りませんね。
コンちゃんは、星空の素晴らしい知識で、ポインターを使いながら楽しく説明をしてくれました。星空以外のガイドもすごく良かったです。
アクティビティツアーを楽しめるかは、ガイドさんによるところが大きいです。私の個人的な意見ですが．．．コンちゃんは、すごく良かったです。
今回の参加メンバーは、全員が同じホテルだったこともあり、ホテルに戻るのが思っていたより早く帰ることができました。
22：45くらいには、着いていたと思います。

私たちが参加した日は、頂上付近は風が強かったですが、気温はいつもより高かったので、トレナーとユニクロのライトダウンに、ツアー会社で借りた上着とズボンで大丈夫でした。一応、携帯カイロは使いました。（携帯カイロは、下で袋から出さないと温かくならないそうです。コンちゃんアドバイスあり）
私は、頂上ではしゃぎ過ぎたせいか、帰路で少し頭が痛くなりました。（ひどくはなりませんでした）帰りでもあるんだなと思いました。

ハワイ島の自然を満喫できました。お薦めツアーです。次回は、日の出を見に行こうと思います。
とても良い経験が、できました。
ガイドのコンちゃん、ありがとうございました！

A bright red sunset and a starry sky! 真っ赤なサンセットと満点の星空！

Reviewed by: I.S

Last May, I participated in the Sunrise stargazing tour and had such a great time that this time, I joined the Sunset & Stargazing tour for my honeymoon trip. This year, I was worried because the weather on the ground was not very clear, possibly due to the effects of the Kilauea volcano a month ago, but the area near the summit was a completely different world! The sunset was perfect, with the sunlight reflecting off the clouds, creating a bright red sky. During the stargazing, as time went on, the sky filled with countless stars! The guide was very unique and fun, making the experience very enjoyable! By the way, it’s a good idea to check the moonrise time when choosing between sunset or sunrise for stargazing.

I hope to participate again next time. Thank you!

昨年5月にサンライズの星空観測ツアーに参加してとても良かったので、今回はハネムーン旅行でこちらのサンセット&星空観測ツアーに参加しました。
今年は1ヶ月前のキラウエア火山の影響もあってか、地上はあまり晴れやかな天気が少なく心配してましたが、山頂付近は全くの別世界！サンセットは雲に丁度良く太陽の光が反射して真っ赤な空が見れました。星空観測では、時間が経つにつれて出て来る出て来る満点の星空！
ガイドさんもとても個性的で楽しく、明るくとても楽しむ事が出来ました！
因みに…星空観測の際は、月の出る時間を調べてサンセットかサンライズを選ぶと良いそうですよ★

また次回、参加したいなと思います。
ありがとうございました！

Once in a lifetime 一生に一度は

Reviewed by: yumitan

I was worried about the weather being cloudy on the day and whether we would be able to observe the stars, but after arriving at the Onizuka Center, the clouds cleared, and we were able to see the sunset and Maui Island. As it got dark, the main stargazing experience was the best memory, something I can't experience in Japan. The outflow from Kilauea Volcano to the sea was also clearly visible. I brought my digital SLR and tripod, so I was able to take many photos of the stars (which can't be captured with a smartphone camera or digital camera). The driver will take some photos for you, so it's okay if you don't have a DSLR. I participated this time with my daughter, but next time I will join with my husband.

当日の天気は曇っていて星空観察ができるか心配しておりましたが、オニズカセンターに着きしばらくすると雲も流れ去り、サンセットもマウイ島も見る事ができました。暗くなりメインの星空観察は日本では体験できない位、最高の思い出です。キラウエア火山からの海への流出もはっきりと見えました。私はデジタル一眼レフと三脚持参でしたので、沢山の星を撮ることが、出来ました。（スマホのカメラやデジタルカメラでは撮影できないので。)
ドライバーさんが何枚かは撮影してくれますので、一眼レフ、お持ちでない方OKですよ。
今回は娘と参加しましたが、次回は主人と参加します。

Somehow, the sunset! 何とかサンセットだけは！

Reviewed by: かわうそ姉さん

Since it was almost a full moon and cloudy, I didn't have high expectations for the starry sky (laughs). Our tour guide, JIN, was very knowledgeable and provided explanations that I hadn't heard on other tours, which was very educational. I also appreciated how much he respected the Japanese community, which came through in his conversation. (After returning home, I reflected on their achievements as well.)

At the actual summit of Mauna Kea, both my husband and I experienced symptoms of altitude sickness, which was unexpected (but don't worry, it wasn't severe!). I realized we shouldn't underestimate it (though we got used to it quickly—maybe it's due to our age). My husband was thrilled to finally visit the location of the National Astronomical Observatory and the Subaru Telescope, which he had always admired. The sunset was incredibly beautiful with the contrast of the clouds and the sunset, making it the highlight of our trip.

Although the stargazing didn't turn out as hoped, we were able to take photos with the volcano thanks to JIN's photography skills. As expected! I would love to visit again during a new moon when the volcanic activity has calmed down.

ほぼ満月ということ、曇っていたので星空は元々期待せずに参加（笑）。
ツアーガイドのJINさんは博学で、前日別ツアーにはない説明もしてくださり、
とても勉強になりました。また日系の方々をとてもリスペクトされていることが、話から伝わってきて好感が持てました。（帰国後彼らの功績を私も振り返ってみました）
実際のマウナケア山頂は思いのほか高山病？的な症状に夫婦揃って罹り（でも
重症ではないですのでご安心を！）侮ってはいけないと思いました（でも、すぐに慣れました・年齢のせいかしら）。
主人はずっと憧れていた国立天文台・すばる望遠鏡の場所に来れたことに感動していました。サンセットは雲と夕日のコントラストでとても美しく、今回の旅での一番の記念になりました。
星空観測は残念な結果となりましたが、JINさんの撮影で火山と一緒に撮影することができました。さすが！
今度は、新月で火山噴火が落ち着いたころにまた訪れたいです。

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＞　

First submarine 初めての潜水艦

Reviewed by: NOB

It was a cloudy day... I arrived early and parked the rental car in the hotel parking lot to check in. There was a counter outside the hotel and a store located a bit deeper inside, which was a little confusing. When the time came, I boarded a contact boat with about 20 participants, including several Japanese people, and in a few minutes, we reached the submarine.

We quickly boarded and began our dive... I enjoyed about 40 minutes while watching the coral and the fish swimming around. We dove down to about 100 feet, or 30 meters, but it felt a bit dark, possibly due to the cloudy sky, and I felt a greater distance from the fish than I expected. It might have been more beautiful if it had been sunny.

At the counter, they put a sticker on the parking ticket to cover the fee. When I tried to pay with my card, it didn’t recognize it, and I panicked a bit as several cars lined up behind me, but I called and they opened it for me, so it all worked out.

当日は曇り空…早めに到着しホテルの駐車場にレンタカーを止めて受付。 ホテルの外のカウンターとホテル内の少し奥にある店舗があり、少し戸惑いました。 時間になると日本人数名を含む20名ほどの参加者と共に連絡用の船に乗り込み数分で潜水艦へ。
早速乗り込み潜水開始…サンゴやそこを泳ぐ魚を見ながら40分程楽しみました。100フィート、30メートル程まで潜りましたが、曇り空のせいか若干暗く感じたのと思っていたより魚と距離感を感じました。 晴れていればもっと綺麗だったのかもしれません。
カウンターで駐車券にステッカーを貼ってくれて料金をカバーしてくれます。2ドル足りずにカード支払いしようとしたらカードを認識せず…後ろに数台並び焦りましたが、電話して開けてもらい事なきを得ました。

You can see Kilauea! キラウエアが見えるとは！

Reviewed by: また新月狙って来ねば！

I learned a lot of things I didn't know thanks to our guide, Jin's, knowledgeable explanations. The high-altitude clouds and the brightness of the moon made it difficult to see the stars, but I felt that if I climbed a mountain in Japan, I would be able to see a more starry sky. However, we did get to take commemorative photos with the red glow of the lava from Kilauea, which is 100 km away, falling into the sea in the background. The impact is different with a professional camera.

ガイドの仁さんの博学な説明で、知らなかったことを沢山学びました。高層雲がかかったのと、月が明るすぎて星の見え方は今ひとつ、日本でも山に登ればもっと満天の星空が見えるという感じでした。でも、100kmも離れたキラウエアの熔岩が海に落ちる所が赤く光っているのをバックに記念撮影して頂きました。プロのカメラだと迫力が違いますね。

The sunset at Mauna Kea was, of course, beautiful, but the guide's stories were interesting and fantastic. I was able to enjoy a perfect stargazing experience without any worries about altitude sickness, and I participated in great health. Thank you very much.

マウナケアのサンセットはもちろんですが、ガイドさんの話が面白く最高。　満点の星空観測もでき高山病の不安もなく絶好調な体調で参加できました。有難うございました。
