All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Before participating, I had concerns about high altitudes, but thanks to the guide's advice, I didn't feel any symptoms of altitude sickness at all. Thank you very much.

参加前は高所に対して不安がありましたが、ガイドさんのアドバイスもあり、
全く高山病を感じることがありませんでした。
ありがとうございました。

It's a shame that we couldn't reach the summit due to the out-of-season snowfall, but our guide, Mr. Konno, worked hard and we were able to see a sky full of stars, achieving our main goal. On the way back, we also saw the starry sky by the roadside, and he showed us the Southern Cross, making it a wonderful memory.

季節外れの積雪で頂上に行けなかったのは残念ですが、ガイドのKonnoさんが頑張ってくださり満天の星空を見る事ができ、一番の目標が達成できました。帰る途中も道路脇でまたまた星空、南十字星も見せてくださって最高の思い出になりました。

Our tour guide Grant was amazing and very knowledgeable! He made the experience so great! The tour was great you get to see a lot of the big island. I love waterfalls and the rainbow falls was breathtaking. The volcano view at night was so awesome I would totally do it again. Worth the money!

I participated alone, and when I looked around, I was the only Japanese person there. I boarded the boat thinking it was a sightseeing cruise, and the view from the ship, including Kailua and the mountain ridges in the background, was incredibly beautiful. The boat went all the way to the cape in search of dolphins in Kailua Bay, then made a U-turn while the captain diligently searched for dolphins. It was worth it, as suddenly 6 to 10 dolphins appeared and swam around the boat for a few minutes. I was very excited to see wild dolphins up close. It took about 30 minutes to reach the snorkeling point, where we had about 2 hours for snorkeling and lunch. After that, we cruised around Kailua Bay in search of dolphins. I can't speak English, but the crew was very kind and friendly, providing explanations in Japanese.

一人で参加しました、周りを見ると日本人は私一人でした、私は観光船のつもりで乗船しましたので船上からの景色、カイルワ、その後方の山稜線はとっても美しい景色でした、船はイルカを求めてカイルワ湾を？岬の先まで行きUターンをして蛇行しながら船長が一生懸命イルカを探していましたそのかいがあり、突然イルカ6～10頭現れ船の周りを数分遊泳していました、野生のイルカを間近で見れ大変興奮しました、シュノーケルポイントまでは３０分程度、ポイントでは2時間程度のシュノーケルと昼食の時間が有りました、その後カイルワ湾をイルカを求めてのクルージングでした、私は英語は話せませんが乗組員が大変親切（日本語の説明書で解説等）フレンドリーでした。

I was very satisfied with the authentic cuisine and dance. It was wonderful to watch the show while listening to the sound of the waves at the seaside venue.

本場の料理とダンスで大変満足しました。海辺の会場で波の音を聞きながら、ショーを見られたのはとても素敵でした。

The weather that week was generally bad, and I heard that the view the day before we participated wasn't great either, which made me anxious. However, the guide's accurate predictions dispelled my worries. I was about to give up on stargazing after watching the sunset, but thanks to the guide's persistence, the sky gradually cleared up. At first, I couldn't see a single star, but before I knew it, there were so many that I couldn't count them all. It was truly an amazing tour filled with miracles!

その週は全体的に天候が悪く、私たちが参加した日の前日もあまり良い眺望ではなかったそうで、不安でしたが、ガイドのさんの読みの的確さに不安が払拭されました。夕日を見たあとの星空観測も諦めるところでしたが、ガイドさんがねばってくれたおかげで次第に空が晴れ、最初は一個も見えなかった星が気づいたら数えられないほど広がっていて、とても感動しました。本当に奇跡が連続した素敵なツアーでした！

First of all, the guide's talk was interesting. Although we couldn't reach the summit due to bad weather and had to settle for a sunset and stargazing at a different location, it was still a satisfying experience. On top of that, we received a free ticket for our next visit, which made us very happy! I would like to return to the Big Island and take this tour again!

まずガイドのトークが面白いこと。
そして、悪天候の為、山頂まで行けず、別の場所でのサンセット、星空観測となりましたが、それでも満足できる内容だったにも関わらず、次回来た際の無料券まで頂き、大満足でした！
またハワイ島へと足を伸ばし、こちらのツアーにお世話になりたいと思います！

We all had a great time. My kids mentioned that it was a good ending to our trip with food and activities.

When I got into the shuttle car, I wasn't sure if we would be able to see the sunset, but I was told that we could still climb to the summit. We ascended to the Onitsuka Center as planned, and while we were eating our lunch, the situation changed. Due to bad weather, the gate beyond that point was closed, and we were informed that we couldn't go to the summit today. Indeed, the fog was thick, and the visibility was poor, making it look dangerous for an amateur to drive any further. It was disappointing, but from there, the plan changed to the driver's original itinerary. We aimed for a spot where we could see the sunset, and those who opted out of the stargazing were taken back to the hotel, which seemed quite challenging.

Anyway, the distance we had to travel was long, and the car was going fast, which felt a bit scary for us since we weren't used to it. However, the driver was experienced, and the roads were wide with many straight stretches, so we managed to return to the hotel safely without encountering any particularly dangerous situations. It was very unfortunate that we couldn't reach the summit. We received a rain check, a re-participation ticket valid for two years, but since it's not easy for us to come back, I thought it would have been nice if we could get about half of our money back...

送迎の車に乗った時には、夕日が見えるかどうかはわからないが、一応山頂までは登っていけるとのことでした。予定通りにオニツカセンターまで登り、お弁当を食べている間に状況が変わりました。悪天候のため、そこから先のゲートがクローズされ、本日は山頂に行けないとのことでした。たしかにガスがかかって視界が悪く、この先を運転していくのは素人目に見ても危険な感じでした。残念でしたが、そこからは運転手兼ツアーガイドのオリジナルプランへの変更されました。夕日の見えるところを目指し、その後の星空観測を辞退する方をホテルに送り、大変そうでした。とにかく移動距離が長いので、車のスピードが速く、なれない我々には多少怖い感じがしました。が、そこは毎日運転していて大丈夫なのでしょう、道も広く、直線が多いので、とくに危ない目にも会わず無事にホテルまで帰ってくることができました。山頂まで登れなかったのは非常に残念でした。レインチェックという、2年間有効の再参加チケットをもらいましたが、なかなか来れないので、半額位返ってくるとよかったのになぁ。。。。って思いました。

The coordination between the transportation and activity companies was poor. Thanks to the quick thinking of someone I was with, we made it in time, but if it had just been us, we might have been left behind. The activity itself was good.

送迎とアクティビティの会社間の連携が悪いです。
一緒だった人の機転で間に合いましたが、自分たちだけなら、置いてきぼりになった可能性がありました。
アクティビティそのものは良かったです

I was told that there would be explanations in Japanese through the headphones, but I could hardly hear anything. We also didn't see as many fish as we had hoped, so it was a bit disappointing for my husband and me.

ヘッドホンで日本語の解説があるということでしたがほとんど聞こえなかったです。
お魚も思っていたほどは見られず　私たち夫婦にはちょっと残念な感想でした。

The day itself started with a local Kona coffee plantation visit that included how the coffee trees are grown, picked, sorted, and roasted. Next stop was a roadside fruit stand where we were introduced to some island fruits and veggies. There was a good drive to the furthest south bakery in the U.S. where our tour guide Grant filled the drive time giving us the layout of the island. From there we visited a black sands beach and looked out for sea turtles. After the beach, we headed to Volcano Park to see the volcano during day light hours and checkout the Dr Jagger museum. Then the dinner... food was good and we had a chance to talk to other members on the tour. This led to the sun setting and the final activity... the volcano at night. The glow of the cauldron is amazing in of itself, but Grant pulled out a telescope and we not only got a close up view of the spattering lava, he also was able to record it on our phones!
Grant was a phenomenal tour guide! He was personable, full of facts and information, and delivered them in a fun, witty way. From the moment of being picked up, Grant was pointing plants and notable sights to the left and the right the entire time we were in the tour van.

The guide was very kind and provided various helpful information for the trip. The view from the summit and the starry sky were breathtaking. I highly recommend participating.

ガイドの方がとても親切で、旅に役立つ色々な情報も教えていただきました。
山頂からの景色と星空は、圧巻の一言。
参加をお勧めします。

This was the best cruise of my life till now. Food was excellent. Hospitality was above the par. The staff was so friendly. Drinks and juices are nice. Music and narration was very clear and soothing!

We enjoyed the trip thoroughly!

In late March, my family of four participated in the Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour. The 13-seater bus was fully booked with Japanese tourists. The ride to the Onizuka Visitor Center was smooth along the paved road. At the visitor center, we had a bento box and miso soup, put on our warm clothing, and then ascended the unpaved road all the way up to 4,200 meters. The summit was very cold, and the wind exceeded 20 meters per second. The landscape resembled Mars, providing an experience that you can't have in Japan. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't favorable, and we couldn't enjoy a clear starry sky, but our guide, Mr. Kono, searched various spots to show us the stars. We later revisited Mauna Kea State Park on another day with a rental car. That time, we were blessed with clear skies and were able to enjoy a number of stars that can't be seen in Japan. Thank you very much, Mr. Kono, for everything.

3月後半、家族4人でマウナケア山頂　サンセット＆星空ツアーに参加。13人乗りのバスは日本人で満席に。途中、オニズカビジターセンターまでは、舗装された道路で順調。ビジターセンターでお弁当に味噌汁、防寒着を着て、舗装されていない道路を登り、一路4200mまで。頂上はとても寒く、また風も風速20mを超える状況。また、風景も火星を思わせるような景観で日本では経験できない環境を体験することができました。あいにく天気には恵まれず、晴天の星空を楽しむことはできませんでしたが、何とか星空を見せようとガイドのコンノさんはいろんな場所を探してくれました。途中立ち寄っていただいたマウナケア州立公園には、別の日に自分たちでレンタカーで再訪。そのときは晴天に恵まれて、日本では見られない数の星を楽しむことができました。コンノさん、いろいろありがとうございました。

Mauna Kea was closed due to bad weather, so unfortunately, I couldn't reach the summit, but I was satisfied with the beautiful sunset along the beach and the starry sky afterward. At first, I considered joining a different English tour (which was cheaper), but I was glad to hear the explanations of the constellations in Japanese. Also, I was comforted by the miso soup that came with the bento (laughs). I saw a big rainbow after the rain, so overall, I was very satisfied. However, I still want to go up Mauna Kea, so I plan to go for a revenge trip during the dry season next time!

マウナケアは悪天候のため閉鎖されており、残念ながら頂上までは上がれませんでしたが、ビーチ沿いできれいな夕日、その後星空も見れたので、満足です。
最初は別の英語ツアーにしようかとも思っていたのですが（そっちのほうが安い）、星座の説明なんかは日本語で聞いてよかったです。
あとお弁当についていた味噌汁に癒されました（笑）。
雨上がりの大きな虹も見えましたし、総合的に大満足です。
でもやっぱりマウナケアには上りたいので、今度は乾季に、リベンジに行きたいと思います！

The weather was cloudy, and I could hardly see the starry sky... I also couldn't see the sunset (crying). The pickup was at 2 PM and the time commitment was long until 10:30 PM, which made me sad. I understood that it was dependent on the weather, but it would have been nice if there were other activities planned that could change things up.

曇りの天気で星空がほとんど見えず。。。
サンセットも見れませんでした（泣）
２時ピックアップ２２時３０分と拘束時間も長く悲しくなりました。
天候に左右されることは分かっていましたが、他に何か変わる
アクテュイビティが用意されていたら良かったのです。

On Friday March 16th, 2018 my family and I attended the Deluxe Volcano Night Lava Viewing with Dinner at Kilauea Lodge & Stargazing Tour that also included the coffee trip to the Kona Joe Coffee Farm, Punaluu Bakery and the Black sand beach. To start, I have to say our guide Uncle Jim made the trip well worth the time and money we invested. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and most of all both engaging and entertaining. From the history, folklore and ancient stories to the general knowledge of Hawaiian culture there was rarely a moment where we were not enjoying the tour. We started out from our resort and Jim began to answer our questions and tell us stories of the landscape (lava, terraforming and the effects of adding green spaces to the resorts on the climate) and a Captain Cook story. As we moved on and picked up the other guests the stories continued as he pointed out various points of interest and beaches we may want to visit on our own. Some great aspect to the tour were the mythical stories of the gods and goddesses and how they actually mirror what it believed to be the realities of the Hawaiian Islands today. Each of the stops we made were better than promised, lunch and dinner were both great and Uncle Jim having a telescope for the night time volcano viewing was great. Some of the highlights from our perspective were walking down a lava tube, walking through the steam vents, picturesque picnic lunch and the gathering of stones to gift to the volcano later in the day with a chant led by Uncle Jim. And I can’t forget the smell of the Huli Huli chicken BBQ that he teased us with that I never did actually get back to try, maybe on our next visit. I would recommend this as a must do tour on your trip to the big island and ask for Uncle Jim, he will make the tour that much better.

I was a bit worried about whether we would be able to see the sunset and the starry sky due to the cloudy weather, but our guide, Matsuzaki-san, really lifted our spirits. The members I was with were also fun and had great energy, making the car ride enjoyable. Matsuzaki-san was incredibly friendly and provided detailed explanations, answering any questions with precision and humor, which made me feel that choosing this tour was a great decision.

We were able to see a beautiful sunset and starry sky, and I truly appreciated that Matsuzaki-san even taught my daughter how to use her camera. Thank you so much! I would love to participate again! The photos I downloaded after returning home were absolutely beautiful! Even if I couldn't take great pictures with my own camera, I felt reassured knowing that they would capture moments for us throughout the tour.

曇り気味で夕焼けや星空が観られるのか、少し不安でしたが
ガイドのマツザキさんがすごく盛り上げて下さり、ご一緒したメンバーも
ノリが良く楽しい方々で車内からウキウキでした。
すごくフレンドリーで丁寧な説明と、どんな質問にも的確にそして笑いを交えて答えてくれるマツザキさんは、このツアーを選んで良かったなと思える最重要ポイントです。
無事に綺麗な夕焼けや星空を見る事ができ、娘のカメラの使い方まで教えて下さり本当にありがとうございました。また参加したいです！
帰国してからダウンロードさせていただいた写真、とても綺麗でした！
自分のカメラでうまく撮れなくても、折々で撮影してくださるので安心です。

We saw a whale in the last 10 minutes.
The dorsal fin was large, and it was thrilling.
Inside the boat, snacks, fruits, and drinks were free (excluding alcohol).
The staff and guests worked together to look for whales.
We saw several dolphins.
It was a great tour.

ラスト10分でクジラ見れました。
背びれが大きい　感激
船の中で　お菓子　フルーツ　飲み物　フリー(アルコールは除く)
スタップとお客が一緒になって鯨を探していました。
イルカは何頭も見れました。
良いツアーでした。

It wasn't very large, but since it was a catamaran, there was little rocking. A woman was talking about the history of Hawaii, but I could hardly understand... The meal was a buffet with chicken, pork, beef, salads, Thai fried rice, potatoes, etc. It was enjoyable because I could choose both the variety and the amount myself.

大きくはないが双胴船でしたので揺れは少なかったです。
ハワイの歴史を女性が話してくれてましたが・・・
ほぼ分からず・・食事はバイキング形式でチキン、ポーク、ビーフ
の肉類とサラダ、タイ米のチャーハンポテトetc.
種類も量も自分で選べるので楽でした。

Unfortunately, the height of the waves affected our entire family, and even the motion sickness medication barely worked, so we spent most of the time lying down. We were able to see dolphins and managed to experience snorkeling, but the intense rocking created some memorable moments in a way, haha. This time we traveled in late February, but next time, if the weather is milder, I would like to participate again.

あいにくの波の高さに家族総出でやられてしまいまして、酔い止めすらほぼ効かず、ほぼ横になっている状態で終始過ごしました。
イルカも見ることが出来ましたし、シュノーケルもなんとか経験出来ましたが、あまりの揺れのためにある意味いい思い出が刻み込まれましたw
ただ今回は2月下旬の渡航でしたが、次回は気候の穏やかな時期であれば再度参加したいと、思います。

To be honest, I didn't have high expectations, but I was moved to see so many whales up close. I'm glad I came at this time of year.

正直、あまり期待してはいなかったのですが、たくさんのクジラをまじかに見ることができ、感動しました。この時期にこれて良かったです。

The access to the summit was closed due to strong winds, resulting in the cancellation of the tour. Since it was a 2:30 PM tour, I feel like the whole day was wasted. I heard that the road had been closed for 3 to 4 days prior and was also closed from the morning of the day itself, so I wish I had been informed in advance via email or other means. If I had known, I could have chosen other activities.

強風で山頂行きが通行止めになり中止に。
2時半発のツアーなので、一日が無駄になった印象が残る。
前日まで３～４日通行止め、当日も朝から通行止めだったそうで、予めメール等で教えて欲しかった。
そうすれば、他のアクティビティを選択できたのに。

I participated with my daughter. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy the whole time, and since we were dealing with nature, I had resigned myself to that being half the experience. However, thanks to our guide's persistence, we were rewarded in the last few minutes when the stars spread out between the clouds. It was worth it. Thank you very much. I would like to try going during the dry season next time.

娘と2人で参加しました あいにくの天気で ずっと曇りで 自然相手なので
半分は仕方ないと諦めていましたが ガイドさんが 粘って頂いたお陰で 最後の数10分 雲と雲の間から 星空が広がり 行った甲斐がありました ありがとうございました
今度は 乾季に行ってみたいと思います

I participated because I am interested in submarines. It felt like an artificial landscape, and I didn't see many fish, but the experience of diving was interesting. I learned that even in shallow waters around the Big Island of Hawaii, there are reefs and many beautiful fish, so I plan to enjoy the natural ocean next time.

潜水艦に興味があって参加しました。
人工的な景色に感じられ、魚はあまり見られませんでしたが、潜っていく様子は面白いものでした。
ハワイ島の海では浅瀬でも岩礁があり、美しくたくさんの魚が見られることが分かったので、次回は自然の海を堪能しようと思います。

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel right in front of Kailua Pier, so it was easy to walk there for the 7:30 AM meeting. Once on the boat, there was a buffet area with bread and fruit, and coffee and water were also available for free.

After about 40 to 50 minutes of traveling along the bay, they provided explanations about various buildings and scenery, all in English. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. The Kanoa II is a large catamaran, but the swaying in the open sea was quite significant. There were about 40 passengers, and it seemed that around 20% of them looked a bit green. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, all passengers were gathered on the first floor for about 10 minutes of safety instructions, also in English. They mentioned that in case of an emergency, the horn would sound five times, so we should return to the boat immediately, not to stand on the coral, and not to stray too far from the boat. I think as long as you don't act too differently from those around you, you'll be fine. The snorkeling point is about 15 meters deep and incredibly clear and beautiful. There are quite a few fish, but the water is cold! They seem to rent out wetsuits for a fee, so if you're not confident, it might be a good idea to borrow one. I gave up after about 20 minutes of swimming due to the cold and the waves, and returned to the boat early. The boat stays here for about an hour, and it might be tough for those who are sensitive to motion.

For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers and vegetables on the spot, and you can make your own cheeseburger at the buffet. It was quite delicious! If you're not feeling seasick, definitely give it a try (laughs).

On the way back, it takes about another hour to return to Kailua Pier.

The boat is large and has a flushing toilet, which someone mentioned is much cleaner than many public restrooms. There’s a bar area, and soft drinks seem to be free. The staff comes around to each table to ask if you need any drinks. Smoothies and cocktails appear to be for a fee.

Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the handsome and beautiful staff frequently checked on us, so we were able to relax without worry. The sea water is cold, but the wind on the way back is also quite chilly. If you're in a wet swimsuit, you're bound to catch a cold. I recommend bringing something to wear over it, like a windbreaker.

カイルア桟橋の目の前のキングカメハメハホテルに泊まっていたので、朝7時半の集合も何の苦もなく歩いて行けました。
船に乗り込むと、ビュッフェコーナーにパンとフルーツが置いてあり、コーヒーやお水も含め、取り放題です。
出発して40分～50分ほど、湾に沿って移動をし、その間いろんな建造物や風景の説明をしてくれるのですが、すべて英語です。雰囲気だけ楽しみました。
カノアII号は大きな双頭船ですが、外洋の揺れはかなり大きく、乗客は40名ほどいたでしょうか、そのうち2割ほどはグロッキーになっていたように見えました。乗船する1時間ほど前には酔い止めをしっかり飲んで参加されることをお勧めします。

シュノーケリングポイントに着くと、乗客全員が1階に集められ、注意事項の説明が10分ほどあります。これもすべて英語です。
緊急の時はホーンを5回鳴らすからすぐに船に戻ってね、サンゴの上には立たないでね、船からあまり離れないでね、後いろいろ言ってたと思うのですが、まぁ周りの人とあまり異なる行動をしなければOKかと思います。
シュノーケリングポイントは、深さ15メートルぐらいあるでしょうか。さすがに澄んでいてとてもキレイです。お魚もそこそこいます。ただ、水が冷たい！！
有料でウェットスーツも貸し出しているようなので、自信のない方は借りた方がいいかも。私も20分ほど泳いで寒さと波の高さにギブアップです。早々に船に引き上げました。
船はここで1時間ほど停泊しています。ずっと揺れてますのでつらい人にはつらいかも。

ランチはスタッフがその場で焼いてくれたハンバーグや野菜がビュッフェコーナーに並び、自分でチーズバーガーを作って食べます。かなり美味しかったですよ！酔ってなければぜひ召し上がってください（笑）。

そして帰りはまた小一時間ほどかけてカイルア桟橋に戻る感じです。

船は大きくてトイレも水洗、どなたかが書いていましたがそんじょそこらのトイレよりよっぽどキレイです。
バーコーナーがあって、ソフトドリンクは無料のようです。スタッフが各テーブルを回って飲み物いらないか？と聞きに来てくれます。スムージーやカクテルは有料のようです。

参加者のうち、日本人は私達だけでしたが、美男美女のスタッフがしょっちゅう様子を見に来てくれるので、気にせず過ごせました。
海の水も冷たいですが、行き帰りの風もかなり寒いです。濡れたままの水着だと漏れなく風邪をひきそうです。ウィンドブレーカーなど、上に羽織るものを持参される事をお勧めします。

I recommend this whale watching tour. I saw many whales very near. The staff were friendly and very kind. I could make beautiful memories.

大型船でのホエールウォッチングツアー。過去にもいろいろ参加しましたが、見えることは見えるのですが、小型ボートほど小回りもスピードもないので、近くではみえないだろうなあ、とあまり期待はしてませんでした。まあ、ハワイ島のきれいな海をクルーズしてこよう、と思って参加しました。
海洋生物学者のカナダの女性がとても詳しく楽しく話をしてくれたり、スタッフの人たちも明るく親切な対応で、ストレスもなく船上でゆったりと過ごしてたら、想像以上にクジラをたくさん見れて、しかも近い！参加者全員にちゃんと見てもらえるようにスタッフからの指示もちゃんとしていて、本当に楽しめました。
とてもおススメのツアーです。

I recommend this whale watching tour. I saw many whales very near. The staffs were friendly and very kind. I could make the beautiful memories.

I signed up at the last minute the night before. The meeting place, Kailua Pier, is right next to the King Kamehameha Hotel, so it's very easy to find. I was staying at the Sheraton, so I just took the trolley back and forth. During the tour, they worked hard to find whales, but it seems that the sudden warm weather was the reason we couldn't see any. However, I was able to see dolphins jumping, and on the way back, I received a free ticket valid for the next few years. During the cruise, drinks and snacks were provided, and all the staff were friendly, so I was personally satisfied. I don't think many people get seasick, but the front of the boat can be a bit shaky, and you might get splashed, so be careful.

前日の夜にギリギリで申し込みました。集合場所のカイルアピアは、キングカメハメハ ホテルの隣なので、非常に分かりやすいです。私はシェラトンに宿泊していたので、ひたすらトロリーに乗って往復しました。ツアーでは、一生懸命クジラを探してくれていましたが、急に暖かくなったことが原因のようで、観ることは出来ませんでした。しかし、イルカの飛び跳ねる様を観ることができた上、帰りの際に、今後数年有効の次回無料チケットを頂けました。クルーズ中には、飲み物やスナックが提供され、スタッフが皆フレンドリーでしたので、個人的には満足です。船酔いする人はあまりいないと思いますが、先頭は揺れがあり、水飛沫が掛かることがあるので注意が必要です。

It seems that the weather wasn't very good the day before, but on the day I participated, the guide mentioned that we were able to see a beautiful sunset and starry sky for the first time in a while. The scenery was truly stunning. At the summit of Mauna Kea, the wind was very strong, and I felt that the perceived temperature was quite low, but since they lent us warm clothing (with ski pants!), I didn't feel too cold (although my friend who was with me seemed to be quite cold). The guide's stories in the car were also enjoyable, and I made great memories.

前日まではあまりお天気が良くなかったようでしたが、参加した日は久しぶりにきれいな夕日と星空を見ることができたと、ガイドの方がおっしゃっていました。本当にきれいな景色でした。マウナケアの山頂は、とても風が強くて、体感温度がだいぶ低かったように思いますが、防寒着（スキーズボン付き！）を貸していただけたので、それほど寒さも感じませんでした（同行の友人はかなり寒かったようですが）。
車内でのガイドさんのお話も楽しくて、よい思い出ができました。
