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 truly a wonderful time! 本当に素敵な時間でした!

Reviewed by: ホンダ

I heard that you can see a beautiful sunset on the Big Island for the first time, so I joined the tour with high expectations. Even as a beginner in hiking, I could drive to the viewpoint, and both in the car and at the viewpoint, the guide shared many interesting stories, making it an enjoyable experience. The weather was great that day, and I was satisfied to see the red, shining sunset beautifully sinking on the horizon! Thank you very much! I want to join again!

初めてのハワイ島で、すごく綺麗な夕陽が見られると聞き、期待をしてツアーに参加しました。
山登り初心者でも車でポイントまでいけるし、車中もポイントでもガイドさんが面白い話を沢山してくれ、楽しみながら参加できました。
当日天気も良く、赤く輝く夕陽が綺麗に地平線に沈む様子を見る事が出来、満足しました!ありがとうございました!!また参加したいです!

Sunset and Night Rainbow (Moonbow) サンセットと夜の虹(ムーンボー)★

Reviewed by: ニコニコ

I joined a tour to see the stunning starry sky of the Big Island. After picking up guests from various hotels, we headed to the Onizuka Center. During this time, our guide, Jin, shared various interesting facts about the Big Island, making the journey enjoyable and entertaining. At the Onizuka Center, we had lunch and rented cold-weather gear, which included ski pants and jacket, gloves, and a hat. Being someone who gets cold easily, I wore a fleece over my T-shirt, applied a heat pack, and used the rented cold-weather gear.

We arrived at the summit a bit earlier than other tours, allowing us to use the restroom before it got crowded and wait in the best position. A sea of clouds spread out before us, with Subaru and telescopes from various countries in sight, creating a truly beautiful view. The sunset was breathtaking, with the colors of the sky gradually changing, which was incredibly beautiful.

Afterward, we moved to a different location for stargazing and observed the Southern Cross. Unfortunately, due to the full moon, a completely starry sky was difficult to see, but I was able to witness the moonrise for the first time. The red moonrise felt quite mysterious. Since it was close to a full moon, seeing the Milky Way was challenging, but instead, we were shown Saturn, and at the end, we got to see a "night rainbow," which left me very satisfied!

The guide's knowledge about astronomy was impressive, and it was evident that they put in a lot of effort to provide the best tour based on the moon, weather, and timing.

ハワイ島の満点の星空を見たくて、ツアーに参加しました。まず各ホテルでゲストをピックアップ後、オニヅカセンターに向かいます。この間もガイドのJINさんがハワイ島について色々教えてくれるので感心したり笑いながら楽しく過ごせました。オニヅカセンターでお弁当を食べて、防寒具をレンタルします。スキー用の上下、手袋、帽子、という感じです。寒がりの私はTシャツの上にフリースを1枚羽織り、カイロを貼り、レンタル防寒具という具合です。
他のツアーよりも少し早めに山頂に着き、混み合う前にトイレを済ませ、ベストポジションにて待機です。雲海が広がり、その中にスバルや各国の望遠鏡があり、本当に素敵な眺めです。サンセットは感動的でした。空の色がだんだん変化していくのが、本当に美しかったです。
その後、星空観測のために場所を変えて、南十字星を観測。残念ながら、月が満ちていたので満天の星空は難しかったですが、月の出を初めて見ることができました。赤い月の出で、不思議な感じでした。満月に近かったので、天の川は難しかったですが、その代わりに土星を見せてもらったり、最後には『夜の虹』を見せてもらって、大満足でした!!
ガイドさんの天体に関する知識がすごいのと、月・天候・時期等に合わせたその時のベストなツアーができるよう努力してくれているのがとても感じられるツアーでした。

Dear Niconico,
Thank you for participating in our tour.
The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea is truly moving, isn't it?
I've heard that those who see a night rainbow will find happiness.

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 get seasick, but my wife is very satisfied. 私は船酔い、妻は大満足

Reviewed by: Miya

My wife and I participated together. Due to traveling from Japan the day before, I was sleep-deprived, possibly because of jet lag, and ended up feeling seasick despite the boat not rocking much. I ate the breakfast bread served on board and saw dolphins from the boat, but other than that, I mostly slept.

However, my wife, who loves marine sports, was able to see several dolphins swimming very close by. When we anchored near a cape about an hour away from the pier in Kona, she was very satisfied as she used a snorkel to dive. It seems that for those who already enjoy marine sports, this tour offers a high level of satisfaction.

The staff, who at first glance appeared intimidating, were actually quite kind. While I was waiting for the restroom to become available on the boat, one of the staff quickly noticed and guided me to another restroom. Most participants were American families (Caucasian), but according to my wife, there was an elderly woman of Indian or Southeast Asian descent who seemed to struggle with swimming, yet the staff provided significant support for her diving experience. They are well-prepared to accommodate beginners. However, everything is in English, and they speak quite fast.

Since we were in open waters, there were concerns about sharks, but we were instructed to never stray far from the boat, ensuring safety.

So, originally, I would give this a five-star rating, but due to my seasickness, I have to deduct one star. Since it’s a morning tour, make sure to go to bed early the night before and get plenty of sleep.

妻と二人で参加しました。前日日本からの移動のため、時差ボケのためか寝不足のままツアー参加となり、大した揺れでもないのに私は船酔い。船内で出された朝食のパンを食べ、船内からイルカの姿を見た以外は、ほとんど寝ているという有様。
しかし、もともとマリンスポーツ大好きな妻は、すぐ近くで泳ぐイルカを何頭も見ることができ、コナのピアから1時間ほど船で移動した岬の近くに停泊したときには、シュノーケルを使って潜るなど、大満足。もともとマリンスポーツが好きな人には、かなり満足度が高いツアーのようです。
スタッフも一見コワモテに見えるお兄さんばかりでしたが、実際のところはかなり親切。私が船内のトイレが空くのを待っていたら、目ざとく見つけて別のトイレを案内してくれました。参加者のほとんどはアメリカ人(白人)の家族連れでしたが、妻によるとインドか東南アジア系の老婦人がいて、泳ぎが全くダメそうだったけどスタッフがかなりサポートして潜る体験もできたそう。初心者向けの対応もしっかりしています。ただし、全部英語です。しかもしゃべりが速い。
外洋なのでサメが怖いけど、船の周りからは絶対離れないようにとの指導もあり、安全性も確保されていたようです。
というわけで、本来星5つのことろ、私の船酔いのせいでマイナス1。朝出発のツアーなので、前日は早めに寝てしっかり睡眠をとりましょう。

It was so great seeing the lava hitting the ocean at night. You could see the red lava coming out of the lava tube and hitting the ocean. It was a 4 mile round trip walk, but well worth it.

We are so glad you enjoyed your day!! We do have the shortest hiking distance available as the public hike is 4.2 miles each way, so that makes it a bit easier, but as you said, so worth it!! :) How many times in our lifetime are we able to witness an active volcano?

Beautiful sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea. マウナケアで美しいサンセットそして星空

Reviewed by: Kosaaika

Sunset at Mauna Kea.
On the way, we enjoyed the fun stories from our guide and made a stop for photos. We had a delicious bento and miso soup at the Onizuka Center. As a souvenir, I bought a sticker with an illustration of the Subaru Telescope.
After getting acclimated to the altitude, we took commemorative photos in front of the Subaru Telescope. The sunset was incredibly beautiful... but it went by so quickly.

The night sky afterwards was a bit difficult to see due to the nearly full moon, but we were able to see the Southern Cross. We searched for summer constellations together and took commemorative photos... the pictures of the moon turned out beautifully.

It was a very fulfilling tour.

マウナケアでのサンセット。
道中楽しいガイドさんのお話と途中で下車して写真撮影。オニツカセンターでお弁当とお味噌汁を美味しくいただきました。記念にすばる望遠鏡イラストのステッカーを購入。
ゆっくり高地に慣れてから、すばる望遠鏡の前で記念撮影。サンセットはとても美しく…でもあっという間でした。

その後の星空は、満月に近かったため、一部星が見にくいところもありましたが、南十字星も見れました。夏の星座をみんなで探したり、記念撮影したり…月の写真はとてもきれいに撮れました。

とても充実したツアーでした。

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

First class food and entertainment

Reviewed by: Tim and Pam

My wife and I went on the Captain Cook dinner cruise last week, and it was much better than either of us expected. The musical entertainment was first class, and we were able to watch spinner dolphins and short-finned pilot whales. It was hard to hear the narration of the historical sites, but that was probably our fault for sitting on the other side of the boat. We would definitely do this again if we ever visit Kona in the future.

Sacred Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park & Kona Farms Guided Tour

Not much to this tour

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

There isn't much to this tour that you couldn't do on your own. Both of the national parks were interesting, but my family and I would have loved to have more time to take them in. The bee farm was also cool - their employees were really enthusiastic and we enjoyed tasting all of the honey. However, the coffee tour was given by a coffee farm employee who seemed to not know much of what she was talking about. Our tour guide from the tour company was honestly the highlight of the tour - he was really knowledgeable and funny, and he definitely made the tour as fun as it could possibly be. However, it felt like he didn't have that much to work with.

A super emotional tour that makes you feel the universe✨ 宇宙を感じる超感動ツアー✨

Reviewed by: かすかべのヒロ

The weather was perfect, and both the sunset and starry sky were magnificent. I kept shouting in my heart, "I'm so glad to be alive! Thank you!" It's difficult to express this scenery in words to those who haven't seen it. I never expected to see the Southern Cross and the Milky Way so clearly. The rings of Saturn were also visible through the telescope! Under the starlight, part of the sea of clouds appeared orange, illuminated by the lava of Kilauea volcano, creating a fantastical scene. Using a laser pointer to explain the constellations in the star-filled sky was very clear, and I understood well how ancient people in Hawaii revered nature and lived while feeling the energy of the universe. Mr. Konno's lecture was so much fun. Thank you for the experience that far exceeded my imagination. I'm so glad I went!

最高の天気で夕日も星空も見事✨
生きてて良かった‼️ありがとう✨と心の中で何度
も叫んでました。この風景、見ていない人に言葉で表現しても伝える事は難しい無理かな❓
南十字星や天の川があんなにはっきり見られるとは思いませんでした。
土星の輪も望遠鏡ではっきり‼️
星の光の下で雲海の一部がオレンジ色に見えたキラウエア火山の溶岩の明かりも幻想的でした。
満天の星空でレーザーペンを使って星座の説明はわかりやすく、ハワイに伝わる神話に古代の人が自然を敬い宇宙のエネルギーを感じながら生きていたと言うのがよくわかりました。

It was the most wonderful experience with my family. We went the morning program and the weather was great (not too sunny but not too cloudy). The staff crews and captain are wonderful to serve every single passenger. Ola, one of staff remembers our names and keep checking us often. Dolphins were waiting for our Body Grove boat and played with our boat both ways from/to the spot. The snorkeling was beautiful ever and the meals were also wonderful. My wife had a motion sickness and hard time to survive but all other four family members had life-long unforgettable memory. If you have motion sickness, better to prepare some medicine to prevent it. My kids enjoyed the high jumps. There are some waves. Thanks to Captain and all crews.

I finally got to stargaze! It turned into a wonderful night. 念願の星空観測!素敵な夜になりました

Reviewed by: かなぴす

The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was this tour. All the participants were Japanese, and our guide was also Japanese. It was so enjoyable to hear various stories about the Big Island during the drive to the summit, and I was desperately taking notes.

The sunset over the sea of clouds from the summit of Mauna Kea was incredibly mystical. After that, we joined another tour group for stargazing at about 3,900 meters. The explanations about the stars using a laser pointer were very easy to understand. I want that laser pointer!

The sky was filled with stars, just like a planetarium, and I particularly enjoyed seeing the Southern Cross and Scorpius clearly. I was thrilled to see the Milky Way, shooting stars, and even satellites with my own eyes for the first time.

I was anxious about participating since I had no mountain climbing experience, but thanks to the frequent check-ins to prevent altitude sickness, no one fell ill. Just be careful when looking down and then quickly lifting your head, as it can make you feel dizzy.

They provide cold-weather gear, but if you're sensitive to the cold, it's a good idea to bring something like an ultra-light down jacket. Also, batteries drain quickly in cold conditions, so if you want to take a lot of photos, I recommend bringing a charger or spare batteries.

After returning to the hotel, I kept gazing at the constellations we learned about. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you!

ハワイ旅行で一番楽しみだったのがこちらのツアーでした。
参加者は全員日本の方々で、ガイドさんも日本の方でした。山頂まで登る間の車の中でハワイ島についての色んなお話をして下さったのがとても楽しくて、必死にメモをとっていました。
マウナケア山頂からみた、雲海に沈んでいく太陽はとても神秘的でした。
その後3900mほどまで下ったところでもう一つのツアーグループと合同で星空観測をしました。
レーザーポインターを使って星の説明して下さったのがとても分かりやすかったです。あのレーザーポインター欲しいです笑
まるでプラネタリウムのような満天の星で、特に南十字星とさそり座が綺麗に見えました。初めて肉眼で天の川や流れ星、人工衛星も見ることができ感激しました。
登山経験がないので参加するまで不安でしたが、高山病にならないようこまめに声をかけて下さったおかげで体調を崩す方は1人もいらっしゃいませんでした。ただトイレに行く時など、下を向いてすぐ顔をあげるとクラっとしてしまうことがあるので気をつけて下さい。
防寒着は貸してもらえますが、寒がりの方はウルトラライトダウンなどを用意しておくといいです。また、寒いところではバッテリーの消耗がとても早いため、写真をたくさん撮りたい方は充電器や替えのバッテリーを持っていくことをオススメします。
ホテルに戻ってからも、教えていただいた星座をずっと眺めていました。
また絶対参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

Back to Mauna Kea. 再びマウナケアへ

Reviewed by: きいろ

Two years ago, I was so impressed that I headed to the summit of Mauna Kea again this year. With the reliable Big Jin driving, the journey was enjoyable, and before I knew it, we arrived at the Onizuka Center for dinner time. The food was even more delicious than before, so I finished everything. I was happy to have miso soup and warm cocoa. The sunset was magnificent, and the colors of the sky were unforgettable. This time, the moon was in its first quarter, so it was a bit brighter, but I was able to see the craters on the moon and take pictures with the constellations, which made for great memories. The cold wasn't as harsh as I expected, which was a relief. I highly recommend this tour.

二年前に感激してからまた今年、再びマウナケアの山頂へ向かいました。
頼もしいビッグジンさん運転で出発、車中のお話も楽しくあっという間にオニヅカセンターに着き夕食タイム、以前より美味しくなっていたので完食。お味噌汁と温かいココアが嬉しかったです。日没は見事で、夕焼けも素晴らしかったです。あの空の色は忘れられません。今回は月が半月だったのですこし明るかったのですが、月面のクレーターを見せてもらったり星座と写真を撮ってもらって良い記念になりました。思ったより寒さも厳しくなくて助かりました。お薦めのツアーです。

I can't express it in words, I'm so moved!! So moved!! 言葉で表現できず、感動‼感動‼‼

Reviewed by: 愛植男820

I was moved by the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea! The shadow of Mauna Kea reflected in the sea of clouds before the sunset. And the sun sinking into the sea of clouds. The bustling surroundings suddenly became quiet, and there was the sunset. Applause from people from all over the world at the summit! I was simply overwhelmed by the breathtaking view and couldn't find the words. Is there anyone who can express such a wonderful sight in words? No, there isn't. And there's no need for flowery expressions. My heart knows… (The stargazing afterward was also amazing, and the guide explained the night sky well. The guide was consistently kind and attentive, taking many photos with my camera. For those who wanted, a password was sent to download the photos taken by the guide from the website, allowing us to obtain many photos for free. In another optional tour, downloading costs $20, so this was a very reasonable and excellent tour. Thank you, Masashi Nature School! Mahalo!)

マウナケア山頂でのサンセットに感動!サンセット前に見た雲海に映すマウナケア山の影。そして、雲海に沈む太陽。ざわついた廻りが一瞬静かになり、サンセット。頂上にいた世界中の人たちから拍手!頂上ならではの光景にただただ感動して言葉が出ません。こんな素晴らしい光景を言葉で表現できる人がいるでしょうか?いいえ、いません。そして、飾り立てた言葉の表現なんていりません。私の心が知っているから…。(その後のスターゲイジングも素晴らしく、星空をよく説明してくれました。ガイドさんは終始親切丁寧で、こまめに私のカメラで写真を撮ってくれました。希望者にはガイドさんが撮った写真を、ホームページからダウンロードできるパスワードが送られ、無料でたくさんの写真が入手できました。別のオプショナルツアーではダウンロードに20$もかかるのがありますので、良心的で最高のツアーでした。ガイドさん、マサシネイチャースクールさん、ありがとうございました。Mahalo!)

It was a disappointing sunset due to the thick clouds. 雲が厚くて残念なサンセットでした。

Reviewed by: LEO

At the summit, it was below freezing with thick clouds, and the sun became a blurred silhouette without any gaps in the clouds. However, our guide, Jin, patiently captured the perfect photo opportunities. The air at the summit was indeed thinner than I had expected. We descended to a point where the clouds cleared, and using a pointer for stargazing, we had a lecture about myths related to the constellations, which was very enjoyable.

山頂は氷点下で雲が厚く、雲の切れ間がなくぼやけた太陽のシルエットになってしまいましたが、ガイドのJINさんが粘り強くシャッターチャンスを捉えてくれました。
山頂は思っていたより本当に酸素が薄かったです。
雲が切れるとこポイントまで下り、ポインターを使っての星空観測は星座に関する神話等々のレクチャーで、とても楽しかったです。

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>

It was great, but I started to feel sleepy halfway through... 最高でしたが...途中から眠気が...

Reviewed by: だまさ

The buffet was abundant with all-you-can-drink options, and the meat dishes were particularly delicious (though the seasoning was a bit strong). I spent a leisurely time watching the sunset, and although there were hardly any Japanese people around, it felt like a family atmosphere, as mentioned in someone else's experience. I chatted a bit with the couples and families nearby, but I think it would have been an even better dinner if I had stronger English skills! However, since the time was long, I found myself battling sleepiness in the second half...

豊富なビュッフェに飲み放題、特に肉類は美味しかったです(味付け濃いめでしたが)。
サンセットを見ながら、ゆっくり過ごし、日本人はほとんどいませんでしたが、どなたかの体験談にもあったように周りの席とは家族のような感じでした。
周りの夫妻や家族と少し会話しましたが、自分に英語力があればもっといいディナーになっていたとおもいます!
ただ時間が長いので後半は睡魔との戦いでした...

The best sunset and stargazing experience! 最高のサンセットと星空体験!

I was worried about altitude sickness, and even when I wanted to go to Mauna Kea during my past trip to the Big Island, I couldn't. This time, my husband really wanted to go, so I decided to join him.

To put it simply, I had no worries at all and was able to go and come back feeling great. I only felt a little short of breath at times. There were some people in the tour who felt unwell, but it seemed that oxygen inhalation resolved their issues.

Above all, I was moved by the indescribably beautiful orange color of the sun sinking into the sea of clouds. The Earth is amazing!! And then, the stars we saw afterward sparkled even more than in a planetarium...

I'm so glad I participated!!

I highly recommend that you go and experience it for yourself!!

高山病が不安で、過去にハワイ島に行ったときも行きたいと思いつつ、行けなかったマウナケア。今回は、夫がどうしても行きたい、というので思い切って参加しました。
結果から言うと、まったく心配なく、元気に行って帰れました。
少し息苦しいかな?という程度で。
ツアーの中に、具合を悪くされた方もいましたが、酸素吸入で問題なかったようでしたし。

なにより、雲海に沈んでゆく太陽の、なんとも言い難いほどの美しいオレンジ色に、感動します。
地球って、素晴らしい!!
そして、そのあとで見た星の、プラネタリウム以上の煌めき・・・・
参加してよかった~!!

ぜひとも、行ってみられることをお勧めいたします!!

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

Take the time to see the island.

Reviewed by: Barbara Helms

Tour Guide was great!!!!!! Great Value!

Would suggest that you have passengers switch seats during the tour. Unfortunately we get the back seats and the viewing is not as good as the seats further towards the front. Also it was harder to talk to the guide from back there. Might be nice if halfway thru the tour everyone switch seats.

Is this Mars...? ここは火星かと・・・

Reviewed by: しんちゃん

At the Onizuka Center at 2800 meters, it was cloudy during dinner, but above around 3200 meters, we were above the clouds. It felt like a different world, almost like the sunlight of outer space. When we reached the summit, the clouds were far below us, and the moment of sunset was breathtaking; the sunset was beautiful too. The highlight was stargazing, realizing just how many stars there are. The world is so vast! I'm glad I came!

2800mのオニヅカセンターで夕食のときは雲の中だったのですが、3200mあたりから雲の上に。地球とは思えない別世界、もはや宇宙の日差しです。頂上までいくと雲ははるか下で、日没の瞬間は感動的、夕焼けもきれいでした。圧巻は星空観測で、星ってこんなにたくさんあったのかと。世界は広いなあ!来てよかった!
