Unfortunately, due to the weather, the mountaintop was completely covered in clouds, and I could only confirm the appearance of Subaru and NASA. It was disappointing that the staff's prayers didn't reach us, but I hope for better luck next time.

This was undoubtedly the best tour I would recommend on my first visit to the Big Island of Hawaii. The sunset and stargazing did not disappoint, although it was a bit unfortunate that the new moon made it too bright. However, the explanations of the constellations were clear and impressive. The UCC Coffee Farm, which we visited to pass the time, was also great.
初めてのハワイ島で一番おすすめのツアーといってもよい内容でした。期待を裏切らないサンセット&星空観測でしたが唯一新月のため明るすぎて少し残念でしたが星座の説明もわかりやすく感激しました。時間つぶしのUCCコーヒー園もよかったです。

On the second day after arriving on the Big Island, I went to Mauna Kea. Leaving the hotel, I was overwhelmed by the majestic nature and terrain of the Big Island as I traveled along Daniel K. Inouye Highway and arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center. While having dinner, I observed plants like the silversword and changed into warm clothing before reaching the summit. Just before arriving, I felt some symptoms that seemed like mild altitude sickness, but I was a bit excited when I saw the group of observatories at the summit.
I took a lot of photos until we departed from the summit. The stargazing was not at the summit but at a parking area a little lower down. There were clouds in the night sky, so we did stargazing again around the Onizuka Center. I attempted to photograph the stars with a film SLR camera, using bulb mode set for star photography (10 to 20 minutes). While the exposure time was appropriate for the stars, surrounding light interfered, and I couldn't capture it well. I hope to challenge this again next year. This tour company allows the guide to take photos of the participants, which can be downloaded from the internet, and I was very pleased with this service. Since a regular digital camera cannot capture the stars, it became a great keepsake.
ハワイ島へ到着して2日目にマウナケアへ行きました、ホテルを出てハワイ島の雄大な自然、地形に圧倒されながら、ダニエル・INOUE ロードを通り、オニズカビジターセンタへ到着、夕食をとりながら、銀剣草等の植物を見て、防寒具に着替え後、山頂に到着、到着直前から少し高山病かな!と思われる症状、でも山頂の天文台群を見たときは少し興奮しました。
それから山頂出発まで写真を撮りまくりました。星空観測は山頂ではなく少し下の駐車場のような所でした、夜空には雲があり、オニズカセンターの周辺で再度星空観測をしました。
星空撮影はフィルム一眼レフカメラで挑戦、星空用に設定したバルブ撮影(10分から20分間)では時間が星空には適度な時間でしたが、周りの光が入りうまく取れませんでした。また来年での挑戦したいと思ってます。このツアー会社はガイドさんが³参加者を撮ってくれた写真をインターネットにからダウンロードさせてくれます、このサービスは非常に嬉しかった。ふつうのデジカメでは星空は取れないので良い記念になりました。

We went on this tour in July 2015 and absolutely loved it. We were picked up in Hilo by the first of our two tour guides, Neho, who was absolutely brilliant and gave us a detailed, fascinating view on everything we asked about. The black sand beach was gorgeous and inspiring, the history behind the volcanic eruptions was interesting, and the wild chickens were hilarious. Neho was warm, funny, and full of great anecdotes. Then we went to Volcano Park and met the second guide, Amanda, who was calm and knowledgeable. Pele's hair, lava tubes, the different colour of the lava - she had a story for everything.
The tour was small enough that everyone in the van got to know each other and didn't feel like we were on an assembly line. The scenery was gorgeous, and when we finally saw the lit up volcano is was utterly worth it We'd travelled to the Big Island to undertake this tour and weren't disappointed. One point - we were given jackets when we viewed the volcano at night and needed them as it was quite chilly by then, so anyone wearing shorts might want to rethink them after dinner. There were quite a few other tours at the viewing spot and we saw a lot of people wrapped in towels to keep warm. The post-volcano snack was also very welcome.
Overall, we loved it and would recommend it. The volcano needs to be seen at night in order to appreciate the colour - it was fabulous.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review! We are so happy that you enjoyed your day!! Mahalo!

I chose this tour based on the experiences and reviews I read beforehand, and it was definitely the right choice! The saying "Seeing is believing" really holds true; participating in the tour allowed me to experience the atmosphere that can't be conveyed through reviews. The cool temperatures and thin air near the summit, which are hard to imagine in the coastal town of Kailua, became real for me only after climbing to 4,000 meters! The sky above the sea of clouds was clearer and bluer than I had imagined, and I could feel the sunlight hitting my skin directly, making it warm. Of course, one of the main events, the sunset viewing, was as beautiful as rumored. The sky afterward looked like a large canvas, with stunning gradients of red, orange, yellow, purple, blue, and white that captivated everyone watching. The other main event, stargazing, felt like watching a planetarium, thanks to our guide's fun and easy-to-understand explanations of constellations and stars. Additionally, we were able to observe Saturn and the moon through a telescope, and the guidance on astrophotography was greatly appreciated. Along the way, we also had the chance to observe rare alpine plants that we wouldn't normally see, and the explanations about the climate and terrain made the tour even more enriching. Overall, there were many moments to fully engage our senses, and my family and I were extremely satisfied. Next time, I definitely want to join the sunrise tour!
事前に読んだ体験談や口コミ情報を参考にこのツアーを選択しましたが、大正解!!「百聞は一見に如かず」とはよく言ったもので、実際に参加してみて、体験談や口コミ等では伝わってこないその場の空気感がたまらなくよかったです。海岸沿いのカイルアの街では想像しにくい「頂上付近の気温の低さや空気の薄さ」は、4000mに登ってみて初めて実感に変わりました!また、雲海上の空は、想像よりも青く澄んでいましたし、日の光もストレートに攻めてくる感じで肌が熱くなるのを感じました。もちろん、メインイベントの一つである「夕日鑑賞」は、うわさ通りの美しさでした。その後の空は、大きなキャンバスのようで、赤、橙、黄、紫、青、白といった色彩が美しいグラデーションとなり、観る者達をうっとりとさせていました。もう一つのメインイベントである「星空観測」は、ガイドさんの楽しくてわかりやすい星座や星についての解説付きで、プラネタリウムを見ているようでした。さらに、天体望遠鏡で土星や月の観測をさせてくれたり、天体撮影の指導もしてくれたりと、大変ありがたかったです。そのほかにも、道すがら、普段見ることができない貴重な高山植物を観察させてくれたり、気候や地形についても解説してくれたりして、とにかくツアー中は、五感をフル活用する場面が多く家族共々大満足でした。今度は、せひサンライズのツアーに参加してみたいです。

The guide, Ms. Ha, created a very bright atmosphere and made the experience enjoyable. While driving and guiding us about the Big Island, we were able to take photos with a high-performance DSLR camera! We got a great commemorative picture with the Milky Way in the background. The explanation of constellations by the other guide, Mr. Konno, was very easy to understand, and I was amazed at how clearly the shapes of the constellations could be seen with stars visible up to the sixth magnitude. The starry sky was very satisfying, but due to a demonstration, we couldn't reach the summit, and we couldn't see the sunset clearly because of the clouds, so I give it 4 stars! I would like to try again.
ガイドの葉さんはとっても明るい雰囲気で盛り上げてくれました。ハワイ島のことをガイドしながらのドライビングに、高性能一眼レフカメラでの撮影!ばっちり天の川バックに記念写真を撮っていただくことができました。もう一人のガイドさんであるコンノさんの星座の説明はとってもわかりやすくて、6等星くらいまで星がみえるとこんなにも星座形がくっきりわかるのかと、感動でした。星空は大満足ですが、デモの関係で山頂まで行けず、雲でサンセットがしっかりとみれなかったので、☆4つ!またリベンジしたいです。

Not only did I see the gentle atmosphere of hula that I know, but I also experienced the more vigorous dancing for the first time. The shell leis are free, but the flowers are available for an additional charge. Before the show starts, there are several activities you can participate in. You can get stamps on your body, experience hula choreography and props, see a pig being roasted, and weave with leaves. The buffet food was surprisingly good, considering I didn't have high expectations. However, it was disappointing that we had to wait for our turn to be seated, which meant we ended up drinking a lot of alcohol at first.
私が知っている穏やかな雰囲気のフラだけではなく激しく踊るのを初めてみました。
貝のレイは無料ですが、お花は別途有料です。
ショーが始まる前に、いくつかの体験ができます。
体にスタンプをおしたり、フラの振り付けや小道具を使った体験、豚の蒸し焼きをみれたり、葉っぱを使って編んだり。
バイキングのご飯も期待してなかったわりには美味しかった。
ただ、席ごとに順番でとっていくため、なかなか順番がこないでお酒ばっかり最初に飲むことになってしまったのが残念でした。

I've been to the Big Island several times and always stay at the Kinkame Hotel, so I decided to participate this time... First, after checking in, we lined up at the gathering place for the luau. The gathering was at 4:30, but by 4:00, there were already about six people in line. Right after we lined up, many more started to join, and by the gathering time, there was a long queue. At that time, they asked if we wanted to pay an extra $20; if you said "NO," you stayed as you were. If you said "YES," you were directed to the upgrade line. After that, they started to offer various add-ons, like buying leis. Then, during the photo session, they would come around to sell you photos at your seats later on, which was also about $20. After the photos, we walked over to the luau area. The seats in front of the stage were occupied by those who had paid the extra fee (about ten rows of 18 people each), and we were directed to the rows behind them (the back rows had about 20 blocks of 18 people). However, even those who paid extra but arrived late were only one seat away from ours, so it didn't seem to matter much. We were seated before 5:00, but there was still about two hours until the luau show started; those who paid extra went first to get their food, and after about 200 people finished at the buffet, there was a specific order to follow, so by the time we went to get our food... After a long wait, the show finally started, but there were only about six dancers, so after each song, we had to listen to the host's singing and talking for a while (15 to 20 minutes of changing costumes). There was also a mysterious dance time to the songs... Foreigners might find it fun, but... Anyway, the show dragged on with long intervals, and the food was mediocre; spending $91 on this was truly a waste. By the way, we reached our limit and left midway. I won't be going again.
ハワイ島には何度か来ていて、いつもキンカメホテルに滞在するので今回参加しましたが・・・まず受付後はルアウの集合場所に並びます。4時半に集合ですが4時ですでに6人ほど並んでいました。私たちが並んだ直後から沢山並び始め集合時間には行列に。そして、その時+20ドルくらい払うか聞かれ【NO】ならそのまま。【YES】ならランクアップの列に通されます。そしてその後レイを買うか等。。色々+を勧めて来ます。そして、記念撮影タイムでこちらは後程席まで売りに来ます。これも確か20ドルくらいです。撮影後ぞろぞろ歩いてルアウの場所へ。そこで舞台前の席は先ほど+を払った方々が座り(前席1ブロック18人の列が約10)並んだ順でその後ろの列に通されました(後ろの席は1ブロック18人が20くらいあります)。ただ+払った人でも来るのが遅かった人は私たちの席と1つしか変わらないのであまり意味無いかな?と思います。席に着いたのが5時前でそこからルアウショーが始まるまで約2時間もありました;食事は+を払った方が先に取りに行くシステムで200人がビュッフェを取り終えた後に更にこの列・この列みたいに順番があるのでビュッフェを取りに行った頃には・・・・。そして長い待ち時間のあとやっとショーが始まるのですが、ダンサーが6人くらいしか居ないので1曲踊り終えると必ず進行係の歌やトークをしばらく聞かされます(15分~20分着替えの時間稼ぎですね;)。そして謎にその歌に合わせてダンスタイム等があり・・・。外国の方は楽しいと思いますが・・・。とにかくダラダラとショーの間隔が長いうえ、食事も微妙、これで91ドルは本当にもったいないです。ちなみに限界が来て私たちは途中で退室しました。二度と行きませんね。

I participated in the tour mentioned in the title for my honeymoon. The guides were Mr. Ha and Mr. Stephan.
I usually find writing reviews tedious and don't do it often, but I want to share my experience because I was 200% satisfied and wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone.
This company's Mauna Kea tour allows for stargazing at a higher elevation than other companies (they provide not only ski jackets but also pants, making it possible to observe in colder locations). The guides were fantastic, paying close attention to the participants' well-being and always keeping the atmosphere lively. Additionally, they kindly took beautiful professional-looking photos for us. I hear you can request specific guides, so I highly recommend these two.
Depending on the moon phase, the sunrise tour or sunset tour may offer better views of the stars, and they seem to be responsive to inquiries through their website.
For many, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you trust these two from this company, you can be sure to have the best experience!

この会社のマウナケアツアー自体が、他社より標高の高い地点で星空観測ができる(スキージャケットだけでなく、ズボンまで貸出されるため、より寒い場所でも観測可能なのだそうです)とのことでした。
また、ガイドさんが素晴らしく、参加者の体調管理にも細心の注意を払っていただきましたし、常に雰囲気を盛り上げてくださいました。また、ご好意でプロのような綺麗なお写真も撮っていただきました。指名ができるそうなので、是非、このお二人をお勧めいたします。
月齢によって、朝陽ツアーと夕陽ツアーのどちらがより星をたくさん綺麗に見られるかも異なるそうで、サイトを通じて相談にも対応してくださるようです。
多くの方にとって、一生に一度かもしれない貴重な機会だと思いますが、この会社のこのお二人にお任せすれば、最高の体験ができることは間違いありません!
Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
I am truly impressed by our guide's attentiveness. Although she is only 22 years old, her camera skills and consideration are top-notch. Stefan is physically large but has a very kind and reliable heart. He is a perfect bilingual boy. Persistence is also a characteristic of our guides.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit to the Big Island, along with Yoko, Stefan, and all our staff.
We have other wonderful guides as well. (laughs)

弊社のガイドの気配りには本当に感心致します。葉は若干22歳ですがカメラ技術も気配りもピカ1ですね。ステファンは身体はでかいですが気持ちはとても優しく
頼もしいです。完璧なバイリンガルボーイですし。粘り強いことも弊社のガイドさんの特徴です。
次回もハワイ島にお越し頂きます様、葉、ステファンはじめスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申しております。
他にも素晴らしいガイドさんがいますので。(笑い)

I had some physical concerns about going to the summit of Mauna Kea, but at 62 years old, I decided to take it on as my final challenge. When I got there, the sunset was incredibly beautiful and it moved me deeply.
Additionally, during the stargazing, I was really struck by the sheer number of stars visible from Earth. I was also able to see Saturn through a telescope and confirmed that it indeed has rings.
Under the starry sky, we were able to take commemorative photos, which can be downloaded for free from the homepage. I participated in a wonderful tour that became a lifelong memory.
マウナケアー山頂に行くのに身体の不安もありましたが62歳ということで最後のチャレンジと思い行くことにしました。行ってみて夕日がとても綺麗にみえ感動しました。
更に星空観測では地球から見える星の多さにすごく心に残るものがありました。
又土星を望遠鏡で見ることができほんとに 輪 があることが確認できました。
星空の下で記念写真も撮っていただきホームーページで無料でダウンロードでき素晴らしいツアーに参加でき一生の思い出とすることができました。

Since it was chosen as one of the breathtaking views that Shihoko wanted to see before she passed away, the price was on the higher side, but we really wanted to see it, so our family of four participated.
I thought the price was high when we joined, but it was worth it as we got to see an incredible view (even more than expected). The guide was very nice and shared a lot of information, which made it really enjoyable.
It was cloudy before reaching Mauna Kea, and we were told we wouldn't be able to see the beautiful sea of clouds, but gradually it cleared up, and we were able to see the best view.
I'm really glad we participated.
しほさんの死ぬまでにみたい絶景に選ばれていたので、
お値段は高めですがどうしても見たくて家族4人で参加させてもらいました。
お値段は高いと思って参加しましたが、
高いだけあって(それ以上の)絶景が見れました。
ガイドさんはとてもいい方で、常に色々な情報を喋って頂いて凄く楽しかったです。
マウナケア手前では曇っていて、
綺麗な雲海が見れないと言っていましたが、
たんだん晴れてきて最高の絶景がみれました。
参加して本当に良かったです。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
Actually, the author of "Breathtaking Views" joined our tour. Mauna Kea truly offers a wonderful view. I completely understand why our repeat customers feel that way.
We hope you will visit the Big Island again and join another tour next time.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.
弊社のツアーにご参加頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。
実は絶景の著書さんが弊社のツアーにご参加いただいたんです。マウナケアは本当に素晴らしい景色です。リピーター様の気持ちがよくわかります。
次回もハワイ島にお越し頂きましてまた違うツアーにご参加くださいませ。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申しております。

We had the best time on the tour. Great places, foods and experiences - first time snorkelling! Katie was super cool and knowledgeable - she felt like a friend not a tour guide. Thankyou :)
