The best starry sky. 最高の星空

Reviewed by: 野澤宣充/恵子

I participated in the tour on October 1st. I heard that the chances of seeing the starry sky are only about 10% throughout the year, which raised my expectations quite a bit. I reached the summit of Mauna Kea without suffering from altitude sickness, but there were quite a few clouds, making me wonder if I would fall into that 10%.

The sunset at the summit was blocked by clouds, so it wasn't a particularly moving experience, but the landscape with many observatories was satisfying enough. After that, we moved to a lower area where the chances of seeing stars were higher. As we were moving, the beautiful starry sky began to appear, raising my hopes once again.

The excitement I felt when we moved to a place where we could see the stars and looked up at the sky is something I still can't forget now that I'm back home. Since childhood, I've had a hobby of stargazing (although as an adult, I hardly had time to look at the stars), and I remembered quite a few names of stars and constellations. However, the starry sky I looked up at was completely different from the skies in Japan, with the sheer number of stars and the Milky Way clearly visible.

My wife and I were very satisfied with the dazzling starry sky, where the names of stars and constellations were hard to distinguish. The guide's explanations were also wonderful, and I was impressed by how well they had studied. I was told that if I participated from May to July, I might see the Northern Cross of Cygnus and the Southern Cross, which can only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere, and I thought I would like to participate again as I headed home. Thank you for the wonderful experience of the starry sky.

１０月１日のツアーに参加しました。途中星空が見えないのは、年間１０%程度との話もあり、期待度はかなりUPしました。
高山病にかかることもなく、マウナケアの頂上に着きましたが、かなり雲が多く、１０%に入ってしまうのかと思えました。
頂上での夕日は、雲にさえぎられ、それほど感動する状況ではありませんでしたが、多くの天文台がある風景は、それなりに満足できるものでした。
その後、下の方が星が見える確率が高いということで移動しました。
移動中にきれいな星空が見え出し、ひょっとしたらと、またまた期待度UPです。
星空が見える場所に移動し、空を見上げた時の感動は、帰国した今でも忘れられません。
子供のころから、天体観測が趣味で(成人してからは、ほとんど星を見る時間もありませんでしたが)、星や星座の名前はそれなりに覚えていました。
しかし、見上げた星空は、星の数の多さ、天の川がはっきりと見えること等、日本の星空とはまったく異っていました。
星や、星座名もはっきりしないくらい、星々が光り輝く星空に、女房ともども大満足でした。
また、ガイドの方の解説もすばらしく、よく勉強されているなと感心させられました。
５月から７月ごろ参加すると、白鳥座の北十字星と、南半球しか見えない南十字星が見えるかもと言う解説もあり、また参加したいと思い帰路につきました。
星空の感動、ありがとうございました。

Limit your fluid intake beforehand. 事前の水分は控えめに

Reviewed by: Riko Inoue

I was deeply moved by the sunset, the star-filled sky afterward, and the Milky Way. Lying on my back in the darkness, listening to the guide's easy-to-understand explanations was so pleasant that I could have listened forever. The snapshot photos taken against the starry sky, which you can't normally capture, are also a precious memory. Please note that there are no restrooms at the stargazing location, so it's best to limit your intake of fluids like coffee beforehand. I personally wanted to go to the restroom towards the end because it got cold...

夕日と、そのあとの満点の星と天の川から大きな感動をもらいました。暗闇に仰向けに寝転んで聞くガイドさんのわかりやすい解説は、いつまでも聞いていたい心地よさがありました。普通では撮影できない星空をバックにしたスナップ写真も大切な記念です。なお、星空観測地点にはトイレがないので事前にコーヒーなどの水分を控えめにしておくこと。私自身、最後のほうは寒くてトイレに行きたかったので…。

Reviewed by: Britannia

I organized my itinerary to see the Subaru Telescope and the beautiful Milky Way during this time, but at first, I was worried because it was cloudy. However, thanks to the guide's energetic power, the clouds disappeared, and I was able to enjoy a truly wonderful night sky. I was also very impressed that we could have such a fantastic bento and miso soup, along with warm drinks at the Onizuka Center and the summit. It was a fulfilling half-day, and I was able to see Saturn's rings after a long time. I'm looking forward to the photos you took. I felt the thin air at 4,000 meters, and with the guide's appropriate instructions, I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling unwell. I hope to have another opportunity.

天文台すばると美しい天の川を見たくて、この時期にエントリーできるように旅程を組みましたが、最初曇りでどうなることかと気をもみました。しかし、最後はガイドさんの元気なパワーで雲がどこかに飛んで行ってしまってとても素晴らしい夜空を堪能できました。途中のオニズカセンターと山頂で、であんな素晴らしいお弁当とお味噌汁、暖かい飲み物がいただけるなんて大感激です。土星の輪も久しぶりに見ることができてとても充実した半日でした。撮っていただいた写真も楽しみにしています。４０００ｍの空気の薄さを実感でき、ガイドさんに適切なご指導で、気分が悪くなることもなく楽しめました。また、機会があればと思います。

It was the best starry sky. 最高の星空でした

Reviewed by: チェリー

Last year, when I participated in a stargazing tour on Oahu, my guide told me, "If you want to see stars, Hawaii Island is the best." So this time, I joined a stargazing tour on Hawaii Island. The sky was clear, and I was able to see a wonderful starry sky. I also saw a shooting star for the first time. I was worried about altitude sickness, but our guide, Matsuzaki, provided very interesting and accurate advice, so I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling unwell. We took a break for a bento lunch, which was satisfying in both taste and portion size. There were various tour companies available, but I am grateful to have participated in this company's tour. I believe it is due to the high quality of the guide. I received pleasant service that showed care for each individual customer. I highly recommend it. I was informed that it would be good to consider sunset and sunrise tours, taking into account the full moon period, so I wanted to share that as a reference.

昨年オアフ島で星空ツアーに参加した時のガイドさんから「星を見るならハワイ島が良いですよ」と教えていただき、今回ハワイ島の星空ツアーに参加しました。空は良く晴れていて素晴らしい星空を見ることができました。流れ星も初めて見られました。高山病が心配だったのですが、ガイドの松崎さんがとても面白く的確なアドバイスをしてくれたので、体調を崩すことなく最高の思い出ができました。体を慣らすためにお弁当タイムをとったのですが、味も量も満足でした。いろいろなツアー会社がありましたが私はこの会社のツアーに参加できたことに感謝しています。それはガイドさんのクオリティーの高さだと思います。お客一人一人に気配りができた気持ちの良いサービスを受けることができました。ぜひおすすめです。満月の時期を考慮してサンセットとサンライズツアーを考慮すると良いといわれましたので、参考までにお知らせします。

Revenge リベンジ

Reviewed by: jijipapa

Last year, I participated in late August, but unfortunately, the weather was affected by a hurricane. This time, however, we were blessed with good weather. We had a great time with everyone, enjoying the sunset from 4,200 meters. After soaking in the atmosphere, we descended a bit for stargazing, and observing from the roadside was also wonderful; it had been a long time since I could see the Milky Way clearly with the naked eye. Additionally, we were able to see Saturn through a telescope, along with artificial satellites, shooting stars, and the red flames of Kilauea. I thought I could lie there forever just watching. Amidst all this excitement, the guide's explanations of the constellations were delivered promptly, which deepened the experience even more. I'm glad I participated. Thank you very much. I would like to join again in a different season next time.

昨年は，8月下旬に参加しましたがハリケーンの影響で生憎の天候でしたが今回は天候に恵まれした。4200mからのサンセットをバックに私たちも皆さんと一緒にはしゃいぎました。余韻を残しながら星空観測のために少し下り、路肩での観測はこれまたすばらしく、天の川が肉眼ではっきりと見えるなんて久しぶりのことです。また、望遠鏡で土星がみられ人工衛星、流れ星、キラウエアの赤い炎、このまま寝転んでいつまでも観ていたいおもいました。そして、この感動の中、なんといってもガイドの星座の説明がテキパキとなされ一層深まりました。参加して良かったです。ありがとうございました。次回は季節を変えて参加したいと思います。

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＞

I saw it from an upgraded seat. アップグレードの席で見ました

Reviewed by: チェリー

Unlike the hotel luau in Honolulu, this one is more intimate. As a result of upgrading my seat, I ended up in a front-row seat near the stage. I was able to enjoy a powerful performance. However, even without the upgrade, the scale is sufficient to have a great time. Before the show started, there were activities in the plaza such as tattoo printing services, hula dance lessons, and a whole roasted pig, which were all fun to participate in. The food was decent, but the drinks were all-you-can-drink. Whenever I go to Hawaii, I participate in a luau, and I really enjoyed this hotel's luau. The hotel luau in Honolulu has many performers and is quite impressive, but this one offers a local atmosphere of the Big Island. I highly recommend it.

ホノルルのホテルルアウと違い、こじんまりとしています。アップグレードの席にした結果、ステージの前の席になりました。迫力あるステージを楽しめました。ただアップグレードしなくてもじゅぶん楽しめる規模です。ショーが始まる前の広場ではタトゥーのプリントサービスやフラダンスのレクチャー、豚の丸焼きなど参加できるものがあり楽しかったです。食事はまあまあですが、飲み物は飲み放題でした。私はハワイに行ったときはルアウに参加するのですが、このホテルのルアウは楽しめました。ホノルルのホテルルアウは出演者も多くそれなりに迫力があり楽しめますが、ハワイ島のローカルな雰囲気が楽しめます。ぜひおすすめです。

The guide's stories, which didn't quite match the Hawaiian atmosphere, were interesting. At the summit of the 4,000-meter mountain, I realized how thin the air was as even the slightest movement made it hard to breathe. However, that day featured a breathtaking sunset that is rarely seen, with the sun setting in a sky that burned bright red, which was truly wonderful and moving. I was very happy to have my husband take a photo with that backdrop. The stargazing tour didn't have a full sky of stars, but I was satisfied to see the Milky Way stretching long across the sky.

I was able to enjoy everything from the 3 PM pickup until returning to the hotel. I had a fulfilling time with the guide's stories during the journey, the meal break at the Onizuka Center, photo opportunities along the way, the sunset, and stargazing.

It was my first time seeing such a beautiful Milky Way, and I don't think I'll have another chance like this in the future. I had an incredibly good experience.

I believe this is something everyone should do at least once.

15時のピックアップから、ホテルに帰って来るまで全てを通して楽しむことができました。
移動中のガイドさんのお話やオニヅカセンターでの休憩食事、途中での写真タイム、サンセット、星空観測と充実した時間を過ごさせてもらいました。

あんなに綺麗な天の川を見れたのはこれが初めてで、今後もなかなかないんじゃないかとおもいます。
非常にいい経験をさせてもらいました。

My wife, her aunt, and I participated in this activity together. My wife's aunt is 75 years old and it was her first time snorkeling. The large boat was sleek and white, but we were the only Japanese among the staff and other guests, which made us a bit anxious... Although we couldn't communicate well, the staff was kind. My wife's aunt was able to safely experience snorkeling and saw yellow and blue fish. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and a bit windy, causing the boat to sway, and both my wife and her aunt got seasick before lunch, so they couldn't enjoy the delicious hamburgers. We didn't encounter a pod of dolphins, but on the way back to the port, four dolphins appeared at the stern of the boat, which made my wife's aunt very happy.

私達夫婦と妻の叔母の３人で参加しました。叔母は75歳でシュノーケリングは初めてす。真っ白でカッコイイ大型ボートでしたが、スタッフやお客さんの中で日本人は私達だけで不安･･･会話は通じなかったがスタッフは親切でした。叔母さんも無事シュノーケリングを体験し黄色や青い魚を見ました。残念ながら曇りと少し風がありボートが揺れて、昼食前に妻と叔母は船酔いで、美味しいハンバーガーを食べられませんでした。イルカの群れには遭遇できなかったが、帰港途中で船尾に4頭のイルカが現れ、叔母に喜んでもらえました。

The most romantic sunset. 最高にロマンティックなサンセット

Reviewed by: Taro

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon, wanting to enjoy nature not only on Oahu but also on the Big Island. We participated in this popular tour and were very satisfied. We also joined the sunrise tour early in the morning, participating in both the sunrise and sunset tours in one day. I was unsure if it made sense to join similar tours twice, but I’m glad we did (it was quite physically demanding, though!). During the sunrise tour, there are fewer people at the summit of Mauna Kea, allowing us to quietly enjoy the starry sky and sunrise. Although it was dark and I was sleepy, making it hard to see the scenery around Mauna Kea during the sunrise tour, the sunset tour allowed us to enjoy the views at a leisurely pace. The fact that the sun sets and rises in different places, and the starry sky looks different, made it worthwhile to see both. Personally, I was very happy to have seen the starry sky twice!

新婚旅行でハワイを訪れ、オアフ島だけでなく、ハワイ島で自然を満喫したいという思いでハワイ島を訪れました。そして人気のあるこのツアーに参加しましたが、大満足でした。私達は早朝にサンライズツアーにも参加しており、一日にサンライズとサンセット両方のツアーに参加しました。二回も同じようなツアーに参加する意味があるのか疑問でしたが、両方のツアーに参加してよかったと思います（体力的に結構ハードですが笑）。サンライズツアーの時間帯ではマウナケア山頂に行く人が少ないため、静かに星空やサンライズを見ることができます。サンライズツアーでは暗くて眠くてあまりマウナケア周辺の景色を見ることができませんでしたが、サンセットツアーではゆっくり景色を楽しむことができます。そして太陽が沈む、出てくる場所が違う、星空の顔が違うということで二度見る価値はありました。個人的には星空を二回も見れたとことが大変よかったです！！

Reviewed by: ＬＡｘＳａｃｈｉ

Since we are 64 and 63 years old, we arrived on the Big Island two days ago to consider our health, and we took it easy the day before climbing Mauna Kea.

We had a guide who provided information about the history of Hawaii Island and its unique flora and fauna, and we were able to enjoy overcoming the bumpy roads.

I was worried about altitude sickness, but by following the guide's specific advice like "Don't sleep here / Let's take care of the restroom / Put on gloves and a knit hat at this point," I had no issues.

I was able to remember and record things like the "flower of connection" and "silversword," which I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't participated in the tour.

The stargazing using the reflecting telescope next to the Onizuka Center was a wonderful lecture, and I recommend this tour even for those who are not interested in astronomy. The fact that we could download the photos taken by the guide also added to the value of the experience.

"We want to strengthen our legs and aim to see the lava flowing into the sea next time," we discussed as an elderly couple. If that opportunity arises, please let us know!

64歳＆63歳ですので体調を考慮して、2日前にビッグアイランドに到着し、マウナケア登頂前日もゆっくり過ごしました。

The summit of Mauna Kea was cloudy, but we were able to see the Milky Way during stargazing! マウナケア山頂は曇天でしたが、星空観測では天の川が見えました！

Reviewed by: MOKA

They arrived on time at 1:30 PM. The guide is Jin, also known as Big Jin. It seems he majored in geology and botany at the University of Hawaii, and he provided detailed explanations about the lava and vegetation along the way.

To acclimatize to the altitude, we stopped at the Onizuka Center, and around 4:00 PM, we had our meal (a bento). Therefore, it would be wise to have an early lunch on that day. Additionally, the places to eat (with benches) are limited, so if you want to eat in peace, it's best to secure a seat early. It started to rain on the day, so we took shelter in the car.

After that, we headed straight for the summit. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the spectacular sunset due to intermittent rain, but the view from 4,000 meters was exceptional. The summit of Mauna Kea was truly divine.

For stargazing, the clouds didn't clear, and the guide was having trouble deciding on various locations, but we finally found a spot near Waikoloa where there was a break in the clouds above us. We were able to see various constellations centered around the Milky Way. The guide pointed them out with a laser beam, making it easy to understand. Additionally, they took high-quality photos of us against the starry sky with a high-performance camera. It's rare to capture such images with a regular camera, making it a valuable experience. The photos can be downloaded later.

While the guide was fine, I had hoped for a magnificent sunset, so I rated it four stars.

13時30分の定刻通り迎えにいらっしゃいました。ガイドはビックジンことJINさんです。ハワイ大学で地質や植物学を専攻されていたようで、道中は溶岩や植生のことを詳しく解説いただきました。
高地順応するため途中でオニヅカセンターに立ち寄り、16時00分頃にご飯（お弁当）となります。ですので、当日のランチは早めに摂っておいた方が賢明かと思います。また、食べる所（ベンチがあるところ）は限られており、落ち着いて食べたい人は早めに席を確保しておくとよいでしょう。当日は途中で雨が降ってきたので、車の中に逃げ込みましたが。
その後、一気に頂上を目指します。あいにく断続的に雨が降る中、スペクタクルな夕焼けは見ることができませんでしたが、4000ｍから見る景色は格別でした。マウナケア山頂も神々しい限りです。
星空観測は雲が切れず、ガイドさんもいろいろ場所を決めかねていましたが、
やっとワイコロアの近くで頭上にポカリと雲が抜けているところがありました。
天の川を中心にいろいろな星座を見えることができました。レーザービームで指し示してくれるのでわかりやすかったです。また、自分たちと星降る空を高性能カメラで撮影いただきました。普通のカメラではなかなか撮れないので貴重です。写真は後日、ダウンロードできます。
ガイド自体は問題なかったのですが、やはり雄大な夕焼けを期待していたので、
評価は4つ星にさせていただきました。

I stayed at the Courtyard King Kamehameha Hotel. The show takes place at this hotel.

We were supposed to gather at 5:00 PM, but when we arrived, there was a long line in the hallway next to the lobby. I recommend arriving early for check-in, as being late in line can affect your meal time later. If you pay a special fee, you can get seats closer to the front and don’t have to wait as long.

When you line up, they will ask if you want a flower lei or a shell lei. The shell lei is free, while the flower lei comes at a cost. We exchanged shell leis with each other. After that, we exchanged our vouchers for tickets and headed to the venue.

Once we arrived at the venue, soothing Hawaiian music was playing continuously. We waited at our seats until everyone was at their tables. Drinks are self-serve near the entrance. Adults can have beer or mai tais, while children only get red cranberry juice. My 10-year-old child was not allowed to have that. At the same time, there was an introduction to about five traditional games, where you could decorate your face and feet with stamps. Participation in these activities was optional.

Afterward, there was a hula dance lesson, and explanations about traditional dishes, such as meat wrapped in banana leaves and steamed, along with about 30 minutes of free time. Hawaiian music continued to play during this time. About an hour after entering, King Kamehameha finally arrived from the sea.

After that, it was finally time for dinner, but we had to go up to the buffet in order from the front tables. However, we couldn’t go up freely. They called each table, so we had to wait at least 30 minutes after the first table was called. My 10-year-old fell asleep without eating, despite being hungry, as it took a long time for our table to be called.

Desserts, coffee, and tea were available. Just when I thought we could return to our room after finishing our meal, the show finally began. The show featured Hawaiian dances and a fire show, which were quite good, but it took a considerable amount of time to get to the meal and to watch the show. You really need to have a relaxed mindset and plenty of time, or else you might end up feeling exhausted.

The Hawaiian music was very pleasant, and my two sons and husband dozed off, swaying their heads during the crucial part of the show. It ended at 8:30 PM. I think it’s a show more suited for adults. My 10-year-old ultimately didn’t wake up and managed to eat a packed meal of chicken nuggets, fries, white rice, and meat after we returned to the room. It’s a show aimed at older audiences rather than children.

コートヤードキングカメハメハホテルに宿泊してました。ショーはこのホテルで行われます。
１７:００集合でしたが、行くとロビー横の廊下に長蛇の列ができてました。
後のことも考えると受付には早くいくことをお勧めします。並ぶのが遅いと、後々食事時間に影響します。
特別料金を払うと前の方の席になり、あまり並ぶ必要もありません。
並ぶと順番に対応してくれますが、花のレイか貝殻のレイか聞かれます。貝殻は無料で花のレイ有料です。お互いに貝殻のレイをかけあいました。
その後バウチャーをチケットにかえ、入場する会場に向かいます。
会場につくとず～っとゆったりとしたハワイアンミュージックが演奏されています。全員がテーブルにつくまで、席に座って待ちます。飲み物は入口の近くに自分でとりにいきます。大人はビールやマイタイが提供され、子どもは赤いクランベリージュースのみです。１０歳の子供はそれがダメでした。それと同時に５種類くらいの昔の遊びや顔や足にスタンプのような飾りをつけたりと伝統的な昔の遊びの紹介があります。それに参加するかどうかは自由です。その後フラダンスのレッスンがあつたり、伝統的な料理、バナナの皮に肉を包んで蒸すなどの説明があったり、３０分くらいの自由な時間があります。その間もハワイアンミュージックがずっとかかってます。入場して一時間くらい経つとようやく海からカメハメハ大王が陸に上陸してきます。
それが終わるとようやく食事ですが、前方の席から順番によぱれ食事(ビュッフェ)を取りにいきます。でも自由には取りにいけないのです。テーブルごとによばれるので、とにかく最初のテーブルの人たちが呼ばれてからもさいてい３０分は待ちました。１０歳の子供は、ゆったりとしたミュージックと昼のシュノーケリングでとうとうご飯を食べずに寝てしまいました。お腹がへっているのに、なかなか順番は来ず、自分のテーブルの順番を待ってやっとご飯を食べました。
デザートコーヒー紅茶はあります。
御飯が食べ終わってもう部屋に帰ってもいいんじゃないのと思う頃にようやくショーが始まりました。ショーはハワイアンダンスにファイヤーショーがあったりなかなかよかったですが、とにかく食事にありつくのにも、ショーを見るのにも時間がかなりかかり、心と時間にかなりゆとりをもたないと、逆に疲れてしまいました。
ハワイアンミュージックはとても心地よく、息子二人と旦那もウトウト肝心のショーの時には、
頭が揺れてました。終わりは20:30。大人が参加するショーかなと思います。
１０歳の子供は結局起きず、何とかチキンナゲットとポテト、白ご飯とお肉だけをいただいたパックに詰め込んで、部屋に戻ってから食べました。
子どもより年配の方々向けのショーです。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour. I want to go again and see more stars! マウナケア山頂サンセット&星空観測ツアー また行きたいなー&もっと星みたいなー

Reviewed by: カズファミリー

I'm glad I was able to safely visit Mauna Kea, which is higher than Mount Fuji, without getting altitude sickness. I was happy to see the sunset and the sea of clouds during the breaks along the way. The staff mentioned that due to the moon, the stars wouldn't be very visible, but I was pleased to see them better than in Japan. Since it gets cold, warm soup might be better than coffee.

富士山より高いマウナケアに安心安全に行けて高山病にならず良かったです。途中休憩があり夕日も雲海も見れて幸せでした。
スタッフの方から月の関係で星があまり見えないと言われましたが日本より良く見えて良かったです。
体が冷えるのでコーヒーより暖かいスープだともっと良いかもしれませんねー。

An experience that can only be had by participating in the tour. ツアーに参加しなければできない体験

Reviewed by: ひまわり

The deep blue sky before sunset, the colors of the earth at the summit, the sea of clouds dyed by the setting sun, the Milky Way and the starry sky, and the large moon clearly visible. Everything was a sight I had never seen before.

I was worried about altitude sickness, but thanks to the guide's advice, I was able to head up with peace of mind. I felt a bit unsteady at the summit, but sitting on the stone steps and taking deep breaths quickly made me feel better. The view and weather from the visitor center were completely different from those at the summit, so I’m really glad I chose the tour that went all the way up.

I truly appreciated the benefit of downloading photos when I got back. Many of the photos I took myself didn’t turn out great... I’m happy to receive photos that captured the scenery of that day perfectly. They also took many fun composition shots.

Thank you so much to our guide, Macchan, for making us laugh! It was great to hear stories about the Big Island along the way. I was impressed by your wide knowledge and thoughtfulness.

The two-shot photo with the starry sky taken by Kon-chan became the best memory of this trip. I plan to print it out and display it.

Thank you both for a wonderful time!

If I get the chance to go to the Big Island again, I will definitely use Masashi's tour!

日が暮れる前の濃い青の空、頂上の大地の色、夕陽に染まる一面の雲海、天の川と満天の星空、くっきりと見える大きな月。すべてが初めての光景でした。

高山病が不安でしたが、ガイドさんのアドバイスで安心して向かうことができました。
頂上ではふらつきなどがありましたが、石段に座って深呼吸をしているとすぐに良くなりました。
ビジターセンターからの景色と天気は頂上と全然違ったので上まで行くツアーにして本当によかったです。

写真ダウンロードの特典のありがたみは帰ってから痛感しました。
自分で撮った写真は後で見るとイマイチなのも多くて･･･。
あの日の景色をそのまま切り取ったような写真がもらえて嬉しいです。
楽しい構図の写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

ガイドのまっちゃん、たくさん笑わせてくれてありがとうございました！道中でハワイ島の話も聞けて良かったです。幅広い知識と心配りに感動しました☆*。

こんちゃんに撮っていただいた星空バックのツーショット写真はこの旅一番の記念になりました♪プリントアウトして飾りたいと思います。

お二人共素敵な時間を本当にありがとうございました☆彡.。

またハワイ島に行くことができたら必ずマサシさんのツアーを利用します！

Incredible! This is what I wanted to see the most! 感動！これが一番見たかったもの！

Reviewed by: aloha♪

Things I wanted to see on the Big Island: Nature Point on the east side, Kilauea Volcano, and sunset & stargazing from Mauna Kea. I considered doing a combined tour of Kilauea and Mauna Kea, but due to travel time and some places being inaccessible, I decided to join separate tours.

In the end, it was a great success and I was very satisfied. We left in the afternoon, took our time acclimating by having a meal at the mid-level, and then headed to the summit. I only brought a lightweight down jacket and an outdoor jacket. They lent me ski wear, a hat, and gloves, so I was able to enjoy the sunset at the summit without shivering from the cold and had a wonderful view of the starry sky! There were so many stars that I didn't even know where to look.

That day was Tanabata. In Japan, it often rains or is cloudy on this day, but we had a clear view of the Milky Way. I was given instructions on how to take photos that looked like composites, and the results turned out great! The tour staff helped set up my camera for beautiful shots, and I ended up with lovely photos. Of course, you can also take wonderful pictures with your smartphone.

In addition to bottled water, they provided warm miso soup and drinks during the meal, which was nice. I was really lucky with the weather. I’m grateful that my number one thing I wanted to do on the Big Island turned out to be such a wonderful day, along with the attentive service and the entertaining guide! I'm glad I made the reservation in advance, as the tour was fully booked.

ハワイ島で見たかったもの。
東側のネイチャーポイント、キラウエア火山、マウナケアからのサンセット&星空観測。
欲張りにセットでキラウエア＆マウナケアとなんていうのも考えましたが、所用時間や行けない場所も出てくることから分けてツアー参加しました。
結果、大成功、大満足。
午後ゆっくり出発して中腹で食事をとったりして時間をかけて体を慣らし、山頂へ。
持参したのは薄手のダウンやアウトドアジャケットだけ。
スキーウエア上下、帽子、手袋を貸してもらえたので山頂でも寒さに震えることなくゆっくりサンセットを楽しみ、素敵な満天の星を眺めることができました！
星がいっぱい過ぎてどこ見ていいかわからないぐらい。
この日は七夕。日本だと雨や曇りの多いこの日ですがくっきりミルキーウエイ。
合成写真かと思うほどの
写真もこんな風にしてみてとご指示？をいただきどんな写真になるのかと思ったらこんな感じです！ツアースタッフがきれいに撮れる設定をちょちょいとしてくれたりしてマイカメラにも素敵な写真が残りました。もちろんスマホでも十分素敵な写真撮れます。
ペットボトルのお水の他、食事の際には温かいお味噌汁やドリンクが用意されていたのも良かったです。
天候に恵まれたのは本当にラッキーでした。ハワイ島でやりたかったことのナンバー１がこんなに素敵な日であったことと、行き届いたサービス、面白ガイドさんに感謝です！
申し込みは前もってしていって良かったです。満席でした。
