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 too subtle. 微妙すぎました＾＾；

Reviewed by: 石川　海

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。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: ふゆこ

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!

新婚旅行で、表題のツアーに参加しました。ガイドは葉さんとステファンさんでした。
普段このようなレビューは面倒であまりしないタイプですが、満足度200%、心から皆さまにお勧めしたく書き込みをします。

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！

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour by Masashi Nature School マウナケア山頂サンセット＆星空観測ツアーｂｙマサシネイチャースクール

Reviewed by: Ｅｎｏｍｏｔｏ　ｙｏｓｈｉｏｋｉ

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。

Breathtaking views to see before you die. 死ぬまでにみたい絶景

Reviewed by: TOSHI

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。

Incredible! Incredible! Incredible!!! 感動！感動！感動です！！！

Reviewed by: SEI＆SATO

The summit of Mauna Kea felt more like being on Mars than on Earth. The sunset, with the sun sinking below the clouds, was an emotional experience unlike anything I had ever felt before. After that, I took a commemorative photo with the Earth's shadow (which is called the Venus Belt) appearing on the opposite side of the sunset, and then we did some stargazing after dark. I had a period in elementary school when I was fascinated by astronomy and often climbed onto my house's roof to observe the stars, so I was incredibly moved to see the Milky Way, the Southern Cross, and Canopus, which is the second brightest star in the sky after Sirius! The guides were young and energetic, and their desire to create wonderful memories for everyone participating was palpable. If I could wish for one thing, it would be that I had participated during a new moon instead of a half moon, as I might have been able to see even darker stars. However, I have traveled more than 100 times both domestically and internationally, and I can confidently say this is number one. I absolutely recommend it to anyone planning to visit the Big Island!

マウナケア山頂は、地球というよりも火星に行ったような感じがしました。サンセットも夕日と雲海を見下ろす中で沈んでいく様子はこれまでに味わったことのない感動でした。その後、生まれて初めて見た夕日の反対側にできる地球の影（ヴィーナスベルトというそうです）をバックに記念撮影、そして日没後の天体観測。私は小学校の頃に天体少年だった時期があり、よく家の屋根に上がって観測をしていたのですが、その頃に憧れていた天の川、南十字星、全天でシリウスに次いで明るいカノープスを観ることが出来たことに大変感動をしています！ガイドのみなさんは若くて元気があり、参加したみんなにいい想い出を作りたい！という意欲がヒシヒシと伝わってきました。欲を言えば半月の時ではなく新月の時に参加していればもっと暗い星までを観ることができたかも知れないと思うと唯一悔やまれるところです。でも私はこれまでに旅行が好きで国内外を合わせて100回以上参加していますが、間違いなくナンバーワンと言えます。ハワイ島に行く予定のある方は絶対にオススメです！

I think you should experience this at least once when staying on the Big Island. It's a large-scale tour that you can't experience anywhere else, and the moment of sunset is truly moving. The guide's stories are enjoyable to listen to, and I felt that the fun of the tour really depends on the guide, making it quite different.

ハワイ島に滞在したら、１度は体験すべきだと思います。他では体験できないスケールの大きなツアーで、サンセットの瞬間は感動します。ガイドさんの話は楽しく聞くことができ、ツアーの面白さはガイドさん次第で、ずいぶん違ったものになるのだろうなと感じました。

The sunset was incredibly beautiful, with not a single cloud in the sky. It was cold, but they lent me pants and a jacket (the kind you wear when skiing), so it wasn't unbearable.

I watched the sunset from the mountaintop, then descended a bit for stargazing. As you go down, the temperature becomes much warmer. They provided explanations of the constellations using a flashlight, and I received warm tea and cookies—there were various services offered.

And above all, the photo service! The pictures taken with the beautiful starry sky in the background became lifelong memories.

Atlantis Kona Submarine Tour & Undersea Adventure - Descend up to 100 feet

Awesome! Our favorite adventure from this vacation.

Reviewed by: Maren

This submarine cruise was amazing!! The crew was so friendly and our guide was funny. It was obvious everyone loved their job. Our guide was obviously an experienced diver because he knew so much about all the various fish we saw and had lots of great stories involving the different fish/coral.

The visibility was amazing the day we went. I think I took almost 200 pictures. We were so surprised when we saw 2 shipwrecks on the cruise. Such a fun bonus!

My husband is very outdoorsy and was a little whiny about doing the submarine over an actual snorkel day cruise. He loved the submarine and thought it was so much fun. We will definitely do it again when we're back.

Please call me Masakimi.

I was truly impressed that you arrived 10 minutes before the pickup time. We both remarked how typical of a Japanese person that is.

Your stories during the car ride felt like a stand-up comedy routine. Your self-introduction was especially delightful, and it was so comfortable that I wanted to keep listening forever.

You provided clear explanations and took plenty of photos. During the lunch distribution, you knelt down to carefully serve the miso soup, and since the weather was nice, you kept expressing positive words like "wonderful."

I was personally very moved by each aspect of your character.

Of course, I enjoyed the scenery too!!!

The sunset was amazing, and the stargazing was great. Thanks to your guidance, I was lucky enough to see a satellite.

I also saw the Southern Cross, and at the Onizuka Center, I even looked at the sun through a telescope.

Above all, the clothing was warm and felt more like proper winter gear than any other tour, which was a huge help for someone like me who gets cold easily.

Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Wonderful! A place you should definitely visit! 素晴らしい！一度は行くべき！

Reviewed by: chika

I had wanted to participate for a long time, but I had to give up because the lunar phase and travel schedule didn't match. However, this time it finally happened!!!

On the day of participation, we were blessed with good weather, and the sunset gradient in the sky was beautiful. During the stargazing session, the guide explained the constellations clearly and thoroughly, and the starry sky was truly stunning.

As for cold weather preparation, on the day of participation, it was 28°C during the day, so I wore a light 3/4 sleeve top and long pants. I even forgot the disposable hand warmers I brought for warmth at the hotel, haha.

However, during the hike up to Onizuka, it was said to be "less windy and warmer than usual," around 9°C, so I wore my UK ultra-down jacket and only the borrowed cold-weather pants. Some people wore fleece, but it was warmer than I expected, so this was enough at Onizuka.

After arriving near the summit to watch the sunset, I was lent an additional jacket, hat, and gloves, which kept me warm and cozy, but it was still a bit chilly due to the wind, haha. If you're sensitive to the cold or participating during a colder season, proper preparation is essential. The stargazing location was a bit lower down, so it was perfectly warm there.

The bento box we received on the way to Onizuka was better than I expected; I thought it would be like a convenience store bento, but it came with warm miso soup and a drink. It was a proper bento, and I was surprised! It was delicious! From what I saw of the bento boxes from many other tour companies, this one might have been the most luxurious, haha. At the stargazing location, there was also a service of cookies and tea, making for a warm and cozy experience. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I've created wonderful new memories on the Big Island!♪

以前から参加したかったけど、良い月齢と旅行日程が合わず断念してましたが
今回やっと実現しました！！！
参加当日は天候にも恵まれサンセットのグラデーションの空は美しく、
その後の星空観測ではガイドさんが星座の説明を分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくれ
満天の星空は本当に美しかったです。

防寒対策ですが参加当日は日中は28℃あり上は薄手の7分袖1枚＋下は長ズボンで参加。
寒さ対策に持って行った使い捨てカイロもホテルに忘れる始末wwww

でも途中オニヅカで「いつもより風も少なく暖かい」との事で9℃くらいで
持参したUKのウルトラダウンを着用し同時に貸していただける防寒着のズボンのみ着用。
フリースなど着てた方もいらっしゃいましたが、思ってたより暖かかったので
オニヅカではコレだけで十分でした。

サンセットを見る山頂付近に到着後、上着+帽子+手袋をさらに貸して頂き
モコモコ状態で暖かかったんですが、やはり風があるため
体感的にはチョット寒かったですww
寒がりさんや寒い時期の参加なら、それなりの対策必須です。
星空観測の場所では少し下った場所だったのでバッチリ暖かかったです(^_^)

行きのオニヅカで頂いたお弁当はコンビニ弁当くらいに思ってたら
温かいお味噌汁に飲み物もあり、ちゃんとしたお弁当でビックリ！美味しかったですww
たぶん他の沢山のツアー会社さんに参加されてる方のお弁当を見た限り一番豪華かもww
星空観測の場所でもクッキーと紅茶のサービスもあり
至れり尽くせりで心も身体も暖かく過ごせ、このツアーに参加してホント良かったです。

It was a relaxed show. ゆったりとしたショーでした

Reviewed by: catslove

We were seated at 5 PM, and the actual show started around 7 PM. Until then, we enjoyed drinks, hula experiences, and traditional Hawaiian cuisine. The show featured not only hula but also dances from other islands like Samoa. Between the dances, there were talks and songs from the host, and I thought it might have been more enjoyable if I understood a bit more English. The time flowed leisurely, and depending on the seats, you might not be very close to the stage, so small children might get bored.

17時に着席し、実際にショーが始まるのは19時ごろからでした。それまでは、ドリンクやフラ体験、ハワイの伝統料理などを楽しみました。ショーでは、フラだけでなく、サモアなど、他の島のダンスもありました。ダンスの合間に司会者のトークや歌があり、もう少し英語が分かればもっと楽しかったかなと思います。時間もゆったりと流れますし、席によってはそれほどステージに近くないため、小さなお子様は飽きてしまうかもしれません。

I was worried about altitude sickness since I was with my elderly mother, but she only had a slight headache, so it was fine. The sunset was beautiful, and the gradient of the Earth's shadow afterward was stunning as well. During the stargazing, we could see the distant flames of Kilauea Volcano! The moon was close to full, so the sky was brighter than I had imagined. I was thrilled to see the Southern Cross! On the way there, we also stopped at a lava point, which was enjoyable. I was torn between the Kilauea Volcano tour and Mauna Kea, but I'm glad I chose Mauna Kea.

I'm glad I went with Masashi, which had great reviews. The lunch at the Onizuka Visitor Center was more luxurious compared to other tour groups, and the taste was excellent. The stargazing took place at a high-altitude parking lot, so we weren't disturbed by surrounding lights. If we had done stargazing at the Onizuka Center, the surrounding lights would have been a concern. The guide's talk was also enjoyable! Especially the explanations about the stars were easy to understand and impressive. On the way back, we stopped at the Mauna Lani Resort Shops, so I was able to buy breakfast for the next morning.

年配の母を、連れてなので高山病が心配でしたが、少し頭が痛かったくらいで大丈夫でした。サンセットは美しく、その後の地球の影のグラデーションも美しかった。その後の星空観察では、遠くのキラウエア火山の火が見えました！月が満月に近かったので想像していたよりも明るい空。そして、南十字星が見えたことに感動しました！行きの道中では、溶岩ポイントに寄ったりもあって楽しめました。キラウエア火山ツアーと迷ったけど、マウナケアにして、よかったー。

口コミで評判のよかったマサシにしてよかったです。オニズカビジターセンターでのお弁当も他のツアー客と比べて豪華だったし、味も問題なし。星空観測が標高の高い地点の駐車場だったので周りの灯りに邪魔されません。オニヅカセンターで星空観測だとちょっと周りの灯りが気になりそうですもの。ガイドさんのトークも楽しかった！特に星空の説明はわかりやすくて感激。帰りは、マウナラニリゾートのＳｈｏｐｓに寄ってくれたので次の日の朝食も買えてよかったです。

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

Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide, Exceeded Expectations!

Reviewed by: Justine Z

It was my first vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii and I booked a full day circle tour with Wasabi Tours with my boyfriend, in order to get acquainted with the island's landscape and popular destinations. Our tour guide, Kala, was absolutely phenomenal! Not only did he show us all of the beautiful sights and landscapes that the island has to offer but he was also an encyclopedia of information! You could ask Kala almost anything about the island and he would almost certainly have the answer. Kala was a historian, a geographer, a geologist, a horticulturalist and even a sociologist all in one! He was a great story teller! Kala was also extremely hospitable, professional, warm, and inviting--right from the start to the end of the tour!Somehow he managed to keep enthusiastic for the 10+ hour long day. Kala mentioned he used to work in the high end resorts in the North Shore and you can really tell that he did, as he provides extremely professional service. He really went out of his way to make sure the guests were all getting the most out of the experience. When we learned the lava was really high in the Volcanoes National Park, Kala made a few separate attempts to return to the site, as the grounds were extremely steamy that particular day. He REALLY wanted us to see the lava, but it is so sad to say the weather did not cooperate that particular day despite Kala's greatest efforts. Despite this bad luck, we were fortunate enough to see all the other beautiful sites that Wasabi tours promises to take you! Finally, to top the day off, Kala knew how much I wanted to see some of the Hawaiian Honu (sea turtles), and he found me some of those as well! Overall, Wasabi Tours does a really great job preparing a fun and informative day for guests. Ultimately, a big thank you to Kala for keeping us entertained and showing us around the tropical paradise of Hawaii!

Mahalo!

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

Everything exceeded my expectations! すべてが予想以上！

Reviewed by: 旅人あお

Since I heard about my professor's honeymoon trip to Mauna Kea, it has been a place I've longed to visit. It was colder than I expected! However, the scenery was even more beautiful than I imagined, leaving me speechless. (There were restrooms available at various locations, so no worries there.) The bento and warm miso soup we had on the way were delicious! My husband finished everything. The stargazing after the sunset was incredibly fun—like a real planetarium! We took a lot of photos, and both the starry sky and the memories are perfect!

大学の先生から新婚旅行でマウナケアに行った話を聞いてからずっと憧れの場所でした。
予想以上に寒い！だけど、景色も予想以上に綺麗で言葉を失うほどでした。
（お手洗いは各所に設置されていて心配無用でした）
行く途中で食べたお弁当とあったかーいお味噌汁はおいしかった！主人は完食してました。
夕焼けの後の天体観測もすごーく楽しかったです
リアルプラネタリウム！写真もたくさん撮っていただき、星空も思い出も満点(満天)です！

It might be the best experience of my life. 人生最高の体験かも

Reviewed by: コロちゃん

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was a beauty that felt otherworldly. Staff member Sue provided clear explanations about the summit of Mauna Kea, the observatory, and the constellations, and we had a wonderful time enjoying each other's company with the other participants.

雲海に沈む太陽此の世のものと思えない美しさでした。スタッフのスーさんが分かりやすく、マウナケア山頂、天文台、星座の説明してくれて、参加したメンバーとも和気藹々で楽しく過ごせました。

I couldn't make it to the summit, but... 山頂まで行けませんでしたが。。。

Reviewed by: mai

I participated in this tour in March.

On the day of the tour, we couldn't reach the summit due to strong winds, but we climbed a nearby hill and watched the sunset, which became a wonderful memory.

Next time, I want to climb to the summit of Mauna Kea! I will take my revenge next time.

３月にこちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました。

当日、強風のため山頂までは行けませんでしたが、
近くの丘（山）に登ってサンセットを見たり、
とっても良い思い出になりました。

次回こそ、マウナケアの山頂に登りたいです！
次回、リベンジします。

I was extremely satisfied with the sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea. 大満足のマウナケアの夕日と星空

Reviewed by: Hiro

The guides, Konno and Stefan, were very kind and showed us around. The sunset over the sea of clouds from the summit of Mauna Kea was beautiful, and we could faintly see the Kilauea crater along with a sky full of stars. We were also able to see the craters on the moon through a reflecting telescope. Although it was windy and the temperature was low, we brought hand warmers, so we didn't feel too cold.

ガイドの今野さんとステファンさんが親切に案内してくれ、マウナケア山頂からの雲海に沈む夕日とキラウエア火口がほんのり見え、満天の星空がとてもきれいでした。反射望遠鏡で月のクレーターも見えました。風がふいて気温は低かったですが、ホッカイロも持参して寒さ対策は万全でしたので、さほど寒さは感じませんでした。

It was the best sunset. 最高のサンセットでした。

Reviewed by: Tomoko

We had some concerns about the altitude and cold weather due to our age as a couple in our 50s, but thanks to the thoughtful and friendly guides, those worries were unfounded, and we were able to enjoy the best sunset and starry sky. Next time, we will join with our son and daughter-in-law. Thank you very much.

アラカン熟年夫婦の参加で、高所と寒さにたいして若干の心配がありましたが、楽しく親切なガイドさんたちのご配慮で杞憂に終わり、最高のサンセットと星空を楽しむことができました。次回は息子、娘夫婦たちとまた参加させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

I was moved by the sight of Earth's shadow for the first time! 初めて見た地球の影に感動！

Reviewed by: よなが

The young guides took a lot of photos for us. The service that allows you to download photos from the blog later is really great!

We experienced so many wonderful colors of the Earth, like the rainbow we saw from the car, the sunset from the mountain top, the shadow of the Earth and the rainbow-colored gradient sky that can only be seen just after the sun sets, and finally, the starry sky and the moon...

I had a happy time listening to the explanation of the constellations while lying on the ground. It was very helpful that they pointed out the stars with a laser, making it easy to understand their positions.

They also provided a telescope, and after seeing Jupiter with its two lines and its surrounding satellites, I was thrilled to see the moon with its clearly visible craters. Next time, if I have the opportunity to participate, I would like to join during a time when there are many stars visible with less moonlight.

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii. My nephew, who participated with me, is saying he wants to go back to the Big Island. I'm sure it has become an unforgettable memory.

Thank you very much to all the guides.

若いお二人のガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくださいました。
後日、ブログから写真がダウンロードできるというサービスはとても良いですね！

車の中から見た虹、山頂から見た夕日、日が沈んが直後にだけ見ることのできる地球の影と虹色グラデーションの空、そして最後に見た星空と月・・・。本当にいろいろな素晴らしい地球の色を体感させていただきました。

地面に寝っ転がりながら星座の説明を聞かせていただき幸せな時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
レーザーで指し示していただいたので星の位置がわかり大変よかったと思います。

望遠鏡も用意していただき、2筋のラインが入った木星と木星の周りの衛星を見た後、クレーターのはっきり見える月を見て感激しました。
次回、参加する機会があったら月の光が少ない星がたくさん見える時期に参加したいと思います。

ハワイの大自然を満喫したツアーでした。一緒に参加した甥はまたハワイ島に行きたいと申しております。きっと忘れられない思い出になったことと思います。

ガイドの皆さま、どうもありがとうございました。
