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＞

It was fun! たのしかったです！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family. Since it was about wild dolphins, we were able to see a family of dolphins shortly after the boat started moving. At the front of the boat, we could also see many flying fish several times.

I wanted to see the dolphins a bit closer, but since snorkeling was the main activity this time, we traveled for about an hour.

For breakfast (light snacks), we could freely make our own bread and fruit, and the burgers for lunch were also delicious, along with fresh potato salad and vegetables. Maui chips were available as snacks, which was nice.

We could always have warm drinks, and there were many options for cold drinks. We could also have alcohol for an additional fee.

On the day of the trip, we were the only Japanese people, but the staff kindly supported us, which made us feel at ease. They lent us prescription masks, and the facilities were well-equipped with showers, noodle and glass-bottomed boards to see below. The snorkeling spot had high visibility, and the waves were at a safe height, allowing us to swim comfortably even in deeper areas.

On the way back, we were also able to see a turtle, and we were very satisfied.

家族で参加しました。
野生のイルカということで、船が走り出してすぐにイルカの家族を見ることができました。船の先端では、たくさんのトビウオも飛ぶ姿も何度も見ることできます。
イルカを、もう少し近くで見たいところでしたが、今回はシュノ―ケリングがメインなのでしばらく一時間ほど移動しました。

朝食(軽食)のパンやフルーツ、昼食のバーガーも自分たちで自由に作ることができ、ポテトサラダや野菜も新鮮でおいしくいただけました。マウイチップスもスナックとしてあり良かったです。

また温かい飲み物は常時飲むことができ、冷たい飲み物の種類も多かったです。追加料金でお酒も飲むことができました。


当日、日本人は自分達だけでしたが、スタッフにやさしくサポートしてもらえたので安心でした。マスクも度付きのを貸出してもらい。ヌードルやグラスで下が見えるビート版等、シャワー完備と充実しておりました。シュノーケルのスポットは、透明度が高く、深くても安心して泳げる波の高さでした。

帰りにカメも見ることができ、とても満足しています。

The Milky Way is amazing. 天の川がすごい

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated on September 7th.

Since the moon was not out, I was able to enjoy a perfect starry sky.

Although there were occasionally cars passing by and, of course, many people around, it wasn't a slow and romantic experience for stargazing. However, it was great to learn about constellations and things I wouldn't have known on my own.

Also, I was happy to have my picture taken with the starry sky as a backdrop.

Thank you very much.

９月７日に参加しました。

月が出ていなかったので満点の星空を堪能することができました。


時々車が通ったり当たり前ですがたくさん人がいるのでゆっくりロマンチックに星空を見るという感じではありませんでしたが星座の説明など、自分では分からないことを教えてもらえるので良かったです。

また、星空をバックに写真を撮ってもらえて良かったです。

Reviewed by: yoshio

We participated as a couple on August 21, 2012. Our guide was Shigeru Yamamoto, who provided clear explanations with helpful examples. The highlight was undoubtedly the sunset at the summit, along with the constellation explanations and telescope viewing. Watching the refreshing sunset while wearing a down jacket to keep warm was a heartwarming experience. One should not speak of Mauna Kea without witnessing this. The stars spread across the sky were breathtaking. The precise stars and constellations pointed out with a laser pointer, along with the clear explanations, were fantastic. We also got to see Saturn's rings through the telescope that was set up. Shigeru Yamamoto took great group photos of all participants against the backdrop of the starry sky, as well as individual photos, which were later available for free download online, making for a wonderful keepsake. This is the most highly recommended tour.

2012.8.21に夫婦で参加しました。ガイドは山本茂さんで、丁寧で例えを用いたわかりやすい解説をしてくれました。何と言っても素晴らしいのが、？山頂でのサンセット、？星座解説＆天体望遠鏡でした。？寒さ防ぐダウンジャケットを着て見る清々しいサンセットは心洗う感動でした。？これを見ずしてマウナケアをかたるべし。満天に広がる星。レイザーポインターで示す的確な星や星座は、わかりやすい解説とともに最高でした。設置した天体望遠鏡で土星の輪っかも見せてもらいました。満天に広がる星々をバックにした参加者全員の集合写真と個々のまとまりの参加者写真を山本茂ガイドがいいデジカメで撮ってくれて、後にウェブ上から無料ダウンロードできたのも良い記念になりました。最もイチオシのツアーです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated last September.
The weather looked ominous around Saddle Road, and I was worried, but the sunset at the summit was truly beautiful. The sun sank into the sea of clouds in an instant, and I wished I could have watched it a little longer.
During the stargazing afterward, there was unexpected rain... Still, I was moved when I briefly saw the Milky Way and the stars. Unfortunately, the rain didn't stop, so the stargazing was disappointing.
I definitely want to go back to the Big Island to see the beautiful starry sky again.

昨年9月に参加しました。
サドルロードあたりから、雲行きがあやしくお天気が心配でしたが、山頂に着いてからのサンセットは本当にきれいでした。夕日が雲海に沈んでいくのはあっという間で、もう少し長く眺めていたかったです。
その後の星空観測のときには、まさかの雨・・・。それでも、一瞬天の川や星が見えた時には感動しました。でもなかなか雨はやまずに星空観測は残念でした。
もう一度、きれいな星空を見るために必ずハワイ島に行きたいです。

Since it was summer, we were picked up at the hotel at 3:30 PM. We visited about five hotels in total.

On the way up Mauna Kea, we took breaks and took photos on the volcanic plateau while being jostled in the car, arriving at the Onizuka Center in an hour and a half.

There, we enjoyed a Japanese bento box, and I was impressed that it came with miso soup.

After that, we put on warm clothes, hats, and made our way to the summit. At the top, we received detailed explanations at the observation deck, took sunset photos, and had various commemorative pictures taken with a sign at the summit of Mauna Kea.

Afterward, we did some stargazing in a spot with little wind. The explanations were easy to understand, and we were able to take photos, creating unforgettable memories. Thank you very much.

I think those who participated in the Masashi Nature School (where staff took photos that can be viewed later) were quite lucky. I highly recommend it. I would like to use this service again the next time I visit the Big Island.

夏ということもあり、15:30にホテルへピックアップ。全部で５つほどのホテルを回りました。
マウナケアに登っている途中も、途中休憩をとったりしながら火山台地で写真を撮りつつ車に揺られ、1時間半でオニヅカセンターへ。

そこで日本食のお弁当をいただきました。お味噌汁つきで感動しました。

その後、温かい服を上下、帽子と身に着け、頂上へ。
頂上では、展望台の詳しい説明とともに、サンセットの写真、そしてマウナケア山頂のテロップを持って、記念写真などいろいろ写真をとっていただけました。

その後、少し下った風があまりない場所での天体観測。
わかりやすい説明、そして写真を撮っていただけ、一生モノの思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

マサシネイチャースクールに参加された方（スタッフが撮った写真があとで見れるなど）はかなりラッキーだと思います。おすすめです。また次回ハワイ島に来た際は利用したいです。

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＞

Traditional Hawaiian Luau! 伝統的なハワイアンルアウ！

Reviewed by: やまちゃん＆ゆみちゃん

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii as a couple, and it was our first time on the Big Island. I was really looking forward to seeing an authentic outdoor luau show for the first time as well. Overall, it was excellent.

I had checked reviews beforehand about the need to "line up before entering the venue," so after checking into our hotel (it was the night of our arrival, and we were staying at the King Kamehameha), we took care of the process right away. They gave us a paper with the reception time, but even though we arrived about 30 minutes early, there was quite a line! Most of the audience were Westerners, with only about 20% being Japanese. Normally, it seems that Japanese guests are seated together, which allows for taking photos and chatting, but we were seated at a table with only Westerners, with no Japanese guests at all...

We were seated at one of the end seats in the front row facing the stage, which was very calming. We could see the ocean and the Ahuena Heiau in the background, and we had a great view of the dancers' entrance scenes, which made us very satisfied.

I wanted to experience the traditional imu ceremony at least once, and it was good, but after experiencing it once, I think I'm okay with it... (The smell was quite strong since they steam the pig at high temperatures.)

The food was traditional and served buffet-style, so we could enjoy a variety of dishes. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, which was nice, but since our table was at the front, it was quite a trek to get to the drink station.

They also showcased dances from neighboring islands, which was great. As a fellow hula dancer, I was able to observe from various angles, and it was a good learning experience.

Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily during the show, and it ended quite a bit earlier than scheduled, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I was a bit anxious about not having any Japanese guests around, but we still had a great time, so it was very good.

夫婦でのハワイ旅行は、4度目にして、初めてのハワイ島でした。
また、屋外での、本格的なルアウショーを観るのも初めてでしたので、とても楽しみにしていました。
結果としては、◎でした。

「会場に入るまで並ぶ」というのを事前にクチコミでチェックしていたので、ホテルチェックイン後（到着日の夜だったのと、ちょうど宿泊先がキングカメハメハだったので）すぐに、手続きをしました。
受付時間を書いた紙をその場でくれたのですが、それでも、少し早めの30分前位に会場へ行ったにも関わらず、結構並んでいました！！
観覧客はほとんどが欧米人で、日本人は2割位だったかと思います。
また、通常は、日本人は日本人同士でテーブルセッティングしてくださるみたいですが（写真を撮り合ったり、お話したりできるから）、私達夫婦は、日本人がひとりもいない、欧米人のみのテーブルへ通されました・・・

ステージ側の前の方の、一番端の席だったため、とても落ち着き、バックには海とアフエナヘイアウ、ダンサーたちの登場シーンもよく見ることができ、とても満足でした。

伝統的なイムセレモニーは、一度は経験したかったので、よかったですが、一度経験すれば、もういいかな。。。
（豚さんを高温で蒸し焼きするので、匂いがかなりきつかったのです）

お食事は伝統的なもので、ビュッフェ式でしたので、いろいろ楽しめました。
ドリンクも飲み放題で、こちらもよかったのですが、テーブルが前の方だったので、その分、ドリンクの所へたどり着くまでが、とても遠かったです。

ハワイだけでなく、近隣の島々の踊りも織り交ぜながら、披露してくださいます。
同じフラダンサーとしては、いろいろな角度から、観させていただき、よい勉強になりました。

途中で雨がたくさん降ってきてしまい、時間よりもかなり早く終わってしまい、それが少し残念でした。

全体的には、日本人が周りにいなくて不安はありましたが(^^ゞ
それでも楽しめたので、とてもよかったです。

Starry Sky Observation Tour I Joined Despite Worrying About the Cold

The constellations were so visible that I felt as if I were in outer space, and I was filled with childlike excitement. Especially, the Milky Way, which is not so clearly visible in Japan, made me feel romantic as I thought about how the stars Hikoboshi and Orihime could cross over. The moon looked like a crayon that I could almost touch, and there were countless stars to count. Each constellation observation was enjoyable thanks to the staff's easy-to-understand explanations, which made me forget about the cold. Next time I go, I will visit to see the seasonal constellations that I missed this time. Thank you for the wonderful time!

This was the highlight of my stay on the Big Island. The staff were professional and knowledgeable about the stars, and I learned a lot. We joined another similar tour along the way, and from what I saw, the lunch here seemed to have better contents. It was also great that they didn't use disposable containers, making it eco-friendly. The stargazing was done in a unique location just for this tour, and I was able to see Saturn's rings through the telescope. I was thrilled that the staff even took a photo of Saturn for us. The guide mentioned that this tour had the latest return time, and they really took their time with us, making it worth participating. I highly recommend it!

I was worried about feeling unwell at the top, but since I took my time getting there, I was completely fine and captivated by the scenery. However, it was quite cold, and I regretted not bringing hand warmers for my feet and back.

During the stargazing, the Milky Way was clearly visible, and I was able to see shooting stars several times. We all lay on the ground together to enjoy it. I also got to take a picture of Saturn through a reflecting telescope, which became a nice keepsake.

Next time, I want to go when I can see my own zodiac constellation.

The guide was a novice, but it was clear that they truly loved the Big Island, and I was moved by their wonderful warmth.

The breathtaking view from the mountain higher than Mount Fuji, the beauty of the scenery from the summit of Mauna Kea, and the space between the mountain and the sky were just amazing. Mr. Yamamoto, the vice president of Masashi Nature School, provided a very clear explanation of the constellations, which was great. The constellation explanation by the novice guide, Matsuzaki, who really put themselves out there, was also enjoyable! I would love to hear about the constellations I missed when visiting in a different season.

The warm tea and cookies while gazing at the beautiful starry sky were truly delicious! They took photos of the starry sky with a special camera, and those pictures can be downloaded from the Masashi Nature School website. I was so impressed, as I didn't expect anything like this. I would love to participate again!☆

Stars, unable to take revenge. 星、リベンジならず

Reviewed by: 紫桜

Thank you, Chizuko, for your help during our trip. I climbed Mauna Kea about ten years ago, but we were surprised by a snowstorm. This time, I brought my father along for a comeback, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the stars due to the clouds! So, I rate the cost-performance three stars. If we could have seen them, it would have been four. I'm sorry about that.

However, we were fortunate to catch a glimpse of the sunset through the gaps in the clouds. Chizuko explained about the animals during the drive, and since we had some time, she showed us the horses at Suzuki Ranch, which made the travel time enjoyable. At the summit, the wind was incredibly strong (it was almost at the point where entry would be prohibited), yet she managed to take photos of everyone while trying not to get blown away. My father seemed to be moved by the sunset as well. I plan to come back to see Scorpio!

Oh, but the bento could use a little improvement... It wasn't bad, but I believe it could be tastier! Especially the tamagoyaki! Thank you!

ガイドの千鶴子さん、その節はお世話になりました。１０年ほど前にもマウナケアに登ったのですがまさかの吹雪(>_<)今回は父も連れてリベンジ・・・のつもりが雲で星は見えず残念！ですのでコスパが星３つ。見えたら４つです。ごめんなさい。
でもかろうじて雲と雲の間からサンセットが見えたのだけが救いです。
千鶴子さんは車中でも動物の説明をしてくれたり、時間があったので途中のスズキ牧場の馬を見せてくれたりと移動時間も飽きさせないでくださいました。頂上はものすごい風（これ以上吹いたら立ち入り禁止になるくらい）だったのに、飛ばされそうになりながら皆の写真を撮ってくれました。父も夕日には感動していたようです。さそり座を見にまたリベンジします！

My First Time on the Big Island of Hawaii
I participated because I wanted to fully enjoy nature.

Sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea
Due to the elevation, the wind was strong, and even with a sweater, a parka, and the ski gear I borrowed, along with gloves and a hat, it was still cold when the wind blew. However, the beauty of the sunset I saw amidst that was breathtaking. I was completely captivated by the changes in the sky that I couldn't take my eyes off for even a moment.

The starry sky was a bit lower from the summit, but there were so many stars that I thought there might be even more than in a planetarium. The guide's explanations were clear and interesting.

Of course, the constellations visible change with the seasons.

I definitely want to participate again at a different time of year.

しかしその中で見た夕日のきれいなこと
ほんとに一瞬も見逃せない空の変化に、見とれるばかりでした。

星空は山頂から少し下りましたが、プラネタリウムよりもいっぱいの星があるんじゃないかと思うくらい、星だらけ。

The great nature has... 大自然には・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with my husband. As we are approaching 50, we had some concerns about our health, but we joined with the approval of our family doctor. We were eager to see the scenery we had longed for, so we decided to participate.

I was so excited that I worried about motion sickness and took some anti-nausea medication, which turned out to be a mistake. I felt fine overall, but I was incredibly sleepy! I was told, "You can't sleep here~," and while sipping water, I somehow managed to get through it. If you usually don't get motion sickness, I think you might not need to take anything, as the bumpy road is over quickly (just my personal opinion).

We came to see the breathtaking sunset at Mauna Kea, but it was covered in thick clouds (tears). At the summit, our guide was chatting with guides from other companies, and we ended up not knowing what was happening during the sunset (tears). The stars were also cruelly hidden by the pesky clouds.

The stargazing took place at a parking area slightly lower than the summit (with no restrooms), and whether it was due to drinking too much water or the altitude, both my husband and I found ourselves needing the restroom frequently. We had used the facilities at the Onizuka Center and the makeshift restroom at the summit, but stargazing turned into a battle with our bladders. As the clouds gradually thinned and we finally started to see the stars, it was time to leave.

On the way back at the Onizuka Center, I was finally able to use the restroom, and when I looked up at that moment, the sky was filled with stars (tears). That day, all the tours were fully booked, and the Onizuka Center was very crowded, but I wished everyone could have been let down a bit longer to enjoy the starry sky. I think stargazing is better at the Onizuka Center, which has restrooms... Nature and our body's natural reactions are unbeatable! I'll save this experience for my next adventure.

主人と参加しました。
私たちは５０を手前にして、少々体調の心配もありましが、かかりつけ医のＯＫのもと参加しました。どうしても見ておきたい景色にあこがれいざ参加。
ドキドキわくわくで気合がはいりすぎたのか、乗り物酔いが心配になり、酔い止め薬を飲んだのがまずかった。体調は全然大丈夫なのだけど、とにかく眠い！！「ここから寝てはいけませんよ~」と言われて水をちょびちょびのみながら、何とかのりきりました。普段乗り物酔いをしないのなら道が悪いのはあっという間なので（個人的意見ですが）飲まなくてもいいかもって思いました。命がけであこがれのマウナケアサンセットの景色と星を見に来たのに厚い雲に覆われて（涙）山頂では、ガイドさんは他社のガイドさんとお話をされておられ、何がなんだかわからぬままのサンセット（涙）星もにっくき雲にいじわるされました。星空観測は、山頂から少し下がった駐車スペース（トイレなし）での観測でしたが、水の飲みすぎか気圧のせいか私も主人もトイレがものすごく近くなり、（行きのオニヅカセンターでも、山頂の簡易トイレでもちゃんと行ったのですが）観測はトイレとの戦いです。雲もだんだん薄くなってきてやっと星が見えはじめたころに退散です。帰りのオニヅカセンターでやっとトイレができ、その時空を見上げると満天の星（涙）その日はどこのツアーもいっぱいで、オニヅカセンターは大変込み合っていましたが、せっかくならみんな降ろしてあげてやっと満天になった星空もう少し見せてもらえたらって思いました。やはり星の観測はトイレのあるオニヅカセンターのほうがいいかもっ・・・大自然と体の自然現象にはかなわないですね！次の楽しみにとっておきます。

The sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea was truly wonderful and moving, just as I had expected! Before joining the tour, I was worried about feeling unwell due to the altitude of 4,200 meters, but it was fine as we acclimated along the way.

For stargazing, since it was just before a full moon, we couldn't see many stars, but we were able to view Saturn with its rings and the crescent-shaped Venus through the reflecting telescope. We also saw the moonlight reflecting off the sea of clouds, shining brightly. It was a great memory to have the moon, as seen through the reflecting telescope, captured by my own camera. Next time, I would like to join during a new moon to see a sky full of stars.

It was fun! 楽しかったー

Reviewed by: ひとひと

Seeing the starry sky at Mauna Kea was my husband's dream. It came true. I was a bit anxious since it’s said to be taller than Mount Fuji, but it was fine. I brought a fleece and a thin down jacket, but they also lent me a very warm jacket, pants, and a cute penguin hat. It was really cold and the wind was strong, but the stars were amazing. It was moving. The tour guide was very pleasant and taught us many things, which was really great. The newlyweds were calling each other Yamachan and Macchan. I also recommended this tour to a friend who wants to go to the Big Island.

マウナケアで、星空見るのは、主人の夢でした。　　　　　　夢がかないました。富士山より高い山とゆうことでしたので、少し不安でしたが、大丈夫でしたよ。フリースと、薄いダウンも、持参しましたが、とても暖かい上着と、ズボンと、かわいいペンギンの帽子も、かしてくれました。　　　すごく寒くて、風も、強かったけど、すごい星でした。感動です。こちらの、ツアーの人は、とても感じ良くて、いろんなことも教えてくれて、すごく良かったですよ。新婚さんが、やまちやん、まっちゃん、とよんでました。　　　　　ハワイ島に行きたがってるともだちにも、この、ツアーをすすめておこました。

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＞

A luau show that left me completely satisfied, even in the rain! 雨でも大満足のルアウショー！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Although it was the main highlight of my trip that I was looking forward to, unfortunately, it rained heavily.

Usually, there is a performance where King Kamehameha arrives by boat, followed by a dinner show under the starry sky, but it was suddenly changed to an indoor show.

We had to wait about an hour in the hotel lobby for the setup, but during that time, the MC kept us entertained with jokes and ukulele performances. Chatting with other foreign tourists also became a nice memory.

We moved to a banquet-like area inside the hotel for the show to begin. The performances of singing and dancing, along with audience participation during the cha-cha dance time, were wonderfully entertaining, and I was very satisfied.

The food featured traditional Hawaiian dishes as the main course. It was quite filling, and while tastes may vary, I enjoyed it very much.

We also had plenty of fun with participatory activities like hula lessons, but the hotel hallway felt a bit cramped. I wished we could have done it outside under the sky on the grass. However, it was such a fulfilling show program that I definitely want to participate again on a day with better weather!

I clearly remember the words, "For those visiting Hawaii for the first time, welcome; for those returning, you are friends (aikane); and for those coming for the third time or more, you are all family (ohana)," which warmed my heart.

旅のメインと楽しみにしていたのに生憎の大雨。


通常はキングカメハメハがボートに乗ってやってくるパフォーマンスと星空の下でのディナーショーなのですが、急きょ室内でのショーに変更になりました。


セッティングのためホテルロビーにて１時間ほど待たされたのですが、その間も客を飽きさせないようＭＣの方が冗談を飛ばしたりウクレレ演奏があったり。ほかの外国人観光客たちとの立ち話もいい思い出となりました。


ホテル内の宴会場のような場所に移動して、ショーの開始。
歌や踊りのパフォーマンス、観客を巻き込んでのチークダンスタイムなど素敵な演出が盛りだくさんで大満足でした。


料理はハワイの伝統食がメイン。ボリューム満点で好みは分かれるかとも思いますが、私は美味しく頂きました。


フラレッスンなどの参加型アクティビティも十分楽しめたのですが、やはりホテルの廊下では少し狭く、空の下、芝生の上でやりたかったなあという印象。しかし次こそは天候に恵まれた日にまたぜひ参加したい！と思える充実したショープログラムでした。



「一度目のHawaiiのひとは初めまして、
　二度目のひとは友達（aikane）、
三度目以上の人はみんな家族（ohana）」
という言葉に心がほっこりしたのをよく覚えています♪

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

Fun, food, and educational!

Reviewed by: Mumsie2U

We booked this cruise in particular because it was wheelchair accessible. We were traveling with a friend who is in a wheelchair and we wanted to be able to get her out on the ocean. The crew was fantastic! The ramp was easy and we sat in the front of the boat.
On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd! IN ADDITION to all of this, we were suprised to find out the crew had fishing lines out and caught three large fish! Very exciting for us and also the crew.
This is just a great company with a great crew wo do hospitality right. Loved it all!

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

You can ride in a submarine. 潜水艦に乗れる

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was my first time boarding a submarine, and the staff were kind and very helpful. The seabed, which we descended to 100 feet, was naturally filled with fish swimming freely, giving a different impression compared to an aquarium. I highly recommend this activity.

初めての潜水艦への乗船でしたが、スタッフの方が親切でとても良かったです。100ftまで潜った海底は、当然のことながら魚が自由に動き回っていて、水族館とはまた違ったイメージに感じました。このアクティビティは、お薦めです。

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＞

People who are not good at English... 英語が苦手な人は...。

Reviewed by: ペキ

The meal was delicious, and the show was enjoyable, but at the beginning, we felt awkward because we didn't understand when the attendees were supposed to stand, so we were the only ones sitting. If you're not good at English conversation, it's okay to just follow what everyone else is doing. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, so I felt like we got more than just the show.

食事美味しく、ショーも楽しかったのですが初めのほうで参列者の起立が分からず私たちだけ椅子に座ったままで気まずい思いをしました。英会話が苦手な人は周りに合わせて行動すればＯＫです。サンセットがすごく綺麗でしたので、ショーの他に得した気分でした。

Starry sky 満天の星空

Reviewed by: Chiaki

While heading to Mauna Kea, our guide Fujitani made sure we had time to stop at a shopping center and even enjoy a little lava walk. He was energetic and fun throughout the tour.

During dinner at Onizuka, we had miso soup served in bowls instead of paper cups, which felt really comforting. The cocoa after our post-meal walk was delicious too!

At the summit (or nearby?!), the sunset was incredibly beautiful, and we were lucky to see Maui as well.

We saw the starry sky around 3,900 meters. It was absolutely stunning! There, we enjoyed cookies and warm tea, which felt like a luxurious treat. We could clearly see Saturn through the telescope!

Amidst the sky filled with stars, the explanation of the stars using a laser pointer was very easy to understand, even for someone like me who isn't knowledgeable about stars. I think the highlight was being able to see the Southern Cross!

マウナケアに向かいながら、時間があるからとショッピングセンターで時間を作ってくれたり、ちょっとした溶岩ウォーク出来たりと、ガイドの藤谷さんが元気に楽しく案内してくれました。
オニヅカでの夕食時にはみそ汁をいただいたのですが、紙コップとかではなくお椀でいただいたのが、なんだかホッとする感じ♪
食後の散歩した後のココアも美味しかった~

頂上（付近？！）では、サンセットがとてもキレイだったし、マウイ島も見ることができラッキー(^-^)v

星空は、３９００ｍ辺りで見ました。めっちゃキレイでした！！
そこでもクッキーと暖かい紅茶をいただき、なんだか至れり尽くせりな感じでした。
望遠鏡で土星もハッキリ見えました！
空が星で埋め尽くされているなか、レーザーポイントを使っての星の説明が、星についてうとい私にも、とても分かりやすかったです。
南十字星を見ることが出来たのが１番嬉しかったかな☆

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

I was moved by the sea of clouds! 雲海に感動！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was drawn to participate after seeing a photo of the sea of clouds at Mauna Kea in a guidebook.

The scenery on the way to Mauna Kea was wonderful for me, and I even encountered a herd of wild goats along the way, which was fun.

At the Onizuka Visitor Center, I borrowed warm clothing (the only place that lends both top and bottom was Masashi Nature School, so I decided on this place based on reviews), and off we went to the summit!

It was cold, but I was able to endure it and see the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds. I was so moved that I took a lot of photos, but the time at the summit was only about 30 minutes, and the sunset went down quickly, so I regretted not taking more time to enjoy it. Even after the sun set, the orange and blue colors lingered faintly between the clouds and the sky, which was very beautiful!

Afterward, we went a little lower to enjoy stargazing, but unfortunately, it was a full moon (I knew this when I signed up, but I could only take my vacation at this time), so there were fewer stars. However, I had expected the worst, so I was able to see more stars than I thought. My desire to see how amazing it would be during a new moon grew even stronger!

The guide's explanations were detailed and easy to understand, using a laser pointer, which was great.

Overall, I think this is a tour I would recommend to anyone, but if possible, participating during a new moon would enhance the experience even more!

ガイドブックに載っていたマウナ・ケアの雲海の写真に惹かれて参加。

マウナ・ケアまでの道中の景色も私にとっては素晴らしく、途中で野生のヤギの群れにも遭遇し楽しかったです。

オニズカビジターセンターで上下の防寒具を貸してもらい（上下貸して貰えるのはマサシ・ネイチャースクールだけだったので口コミと合わせてここに決めました）、いざ山頂へ！

寒かったのですが十分耐えれるレベルで雲海に沈む夕陽を観ることが出来ました。感動して写真を撮りまくりましたが、山頂での時間は３０分ほどと短く、夕陽が沈んでいくのも速いのでもっとゆっくり眺めるべきだったと少し後悔しました。夕陽が沈んだ後も雲と空の間にオレンジ色と青色が薄く残りとても綺麗でした！

その後少し下ったところで星空観賞をしましたがあいにくの満月だったので（申し込み時点で分かっていましたが休暇がこの時期しか無理だったので）星は少なめでした。それでも最悪を予想していたので思っていたよりも星はたくさん見えました。新月の時ならどれくらいすごいのか見たい気持ちがより強くなりました！
ガイドさんの説明も詳しくレーザーを使って分かり易くて良かったです。

トータルしてどなたにも勧められるツアーだと思いますが、出来れば新月の時に参加すれば感動は倍増すると思います！

A valuable experience! 貴重な体験！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in the GW event. Watching the sunset from over 4000 meters is something you don't get to experience often, and the sun sinking into the sea of clouds was incredibly beautiful, leaving me with unforgettable memories. Also, the stargazing was amazing; even though the moon was bright, I could clearly see the Winter Triangle, Orion, the Southern Cross, and the Big Dipper, which was truly moving. Since we were observing under the cold sky, the cookies and tea we received were really delicious! Our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was very enthusiastic and it was a really enjoyable tour.

GWにに参加させていただきました。４０００m以上の場所でのサンセットはなかなか見られるものではないですし、雲海に沈みゆく太陽がものすごくキレイで忘れられない思い出になりました。又、星空観測も、月が明るかったものの冬の大三角形やオリオン座、南十字星、北斗七星などがキレイに見えて感動しました。寒空の下の観測だったのでいただいたクッキーと紅茶がホントにおいしかった！ガイドの山本さんもサービス精神旺盛でとても楽しいツアーでした。
