Stars, unable to take revenge.
星、リベンジならず
Posted on: 2012/07/01

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!
あ、でもお弁当はもうちょっと改善したほうがいいかも・・・。不味くはないのですが、もっと美味しくできるハズ!特に卵焼き!宜しくお願いします~。

Wonderful Family Experiance
Posted on: 2012/06/29

This was a great experiance for our whole family. This was Mine and my wife's second Laua but the first for my two kids who are 7 and 12. I was a little worried about the kids experiance. They both had a wonderful time and cant wait to go back. The service was great and very entertaining. The food was excellant. As far as the entertainment, it was top notch. We learned alot about the differant cultures and were amazed by the talent of the dancers, who also added some good humor to the show. This is definitly a Laua we will be back to.

Wonderful sky.
すばらしい空
Posted on: 2012/06/28

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.

初めてのハワイ島
自然を満喫したくて参加しました。

マウナケア山頂からのサンセット
標高があるために、風が強く、セーターにパーカーそしてお借りした上下のスキーウエア―みたいな防寒具、手袋帽子と完全防寒でも風が吹くと冷たかったです。
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。
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、面白かったです。

当たり前ですが、季節が変われば見える星座も変わります。

ぜひ時期を変えてもう一度参加したいです。

The great nature has...
大自然には・・・
Posted on: 2012/06/26

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。

I was moved!
感動しました!
Posted on: 2012/06/20

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.

マウナケア山頂のサンセットは 期待どおり 素晴らしく 感動しました!
ツアーに参加する前は 標高4200メートルまで上がるので、具合が悪くならないか 心配しましたが、途中で 身体を慣らしながら上がるので、大丈夫でした。

星空観測は 満月直前だったので、やはり あまりたくさんの星は見られませんでしたが、反射望遠鏡で、本当に輪が周りにある土星や、三日月型の金星を見せて頂いたり、月の光が雲海に反射し白く輝いているのも見られました。
反射望遠鏡で見た月を 自分のカメラで撮影して頂けたのも とても良い記念になりました。
今度は 満天の星空を見るため、新月の時に 参加したいと思いました。

It was fun!
楽しかったー
Posted on: 2012/06/12

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!
Posted on: 2012/06/07

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♪

Dear Mr. Anonymous,

Thank you for attending the luau show. Your comments almost brought tears to my eyes. While the rain is a blessing for us Polynesians, it often prevents us from showcasing the beauty of the ocean, the arrival of the king, and the imu show, which may leave our guests unsatisfied.

We would love for you to become part of our Ohana.

With heartfelt gratitude, love, and Aloha.

Mr. Anonymous 様
ルアウショーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。
コメントに思わず涙が溢れてしまいそうでした。雨は私達ポリネシアにとっては祝福ですが、
お客様にとってはこちらの魅力である海から王の登場やイムのショーなどがお見せできずご満足していただけないことも
たくさんございます。
是非私達のOhanaになってください。
心からの感謝、愛、Alohaを込めて。

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove
Fun, food, and educational!
Posted on: 2012/06/03

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
Posted on: 2012/05/28

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。

People who are not good at English...

Posted on: 2012/05/21

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。

Dear Peki,

I sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced while enjoying the luau show. I will do my best to ensure that everyone in Japan can also have a great time. I hope to see you again on the Big Island.

ペキ様。ルアウショーをお楽しみいただく中、心苦しい思いをさせてしまいましたことお詫び申し上げます。
日本の皆様にもお楽しみいただけるよう最善を尽くして参りたいと思います。

Starry sky
満天の星空
Posted on: 2012/05/20

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☆

I was moved by the sea of clouds!
雲海に感動!
Posted on: 2012/05/10

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!

貴重な体験!
Posted on: 2012/05/08

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。

見たこともないような星空のカーテン
Posted on: 2012/05/04

I participated exactly one year ago.
(I recently learned about the review feature, so I thought I'd write this.)
You can see a starry sky that you can't find in Japan.
The guide provided detailed explanations, and I was able to spot the Milky Way and other constellations.

Not only the starry sky, but the changes in the sky from sunset to the starry night are truly moving.

I think you don't need to bring warm clothing since you can borrow it from the tour company, but I recommend bringing something light to wear.

ちょうど1年前に参加。
(レビュー機能を最近知ったのでせっかくなので書き込みます)
日本では見られないような星空が見られます。
ガイドの方から詳しく説明してもらい、天の川やその他の星座を見つけることができました。

星空だけでなく、日没から星空までの空の変化は、本当に感動します。

防寒具はツアー会社さんから借りれるので不要だと思いますが、軽く羽織るものは持っていったほうがいいと思います。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset
マウナケア山頂サンセット
Posted on: 2012/05/03

I participated on April 28. The sea of clouds viewed from 4,000 meters high felt mysterious and beautiful, like a lake. I was moved by the clear sunset, but I was captivated by the starry sky. I was impressed by the lovely Saturn and the large moon that I was shown through a telescope. Next time, I want to go during a different season. The miso soup with the meal was warm and delicious!

4/28に参加しました。4000mの高さから見下ろす雲海は湖のような神秘さと美しさを感じられました。サンセットもはっきりとみられ感動しましたが、満天の星には見とれてしまいました。望遠鏡で見せてもらった可愛らしい土星、大きな月にも感銘を受けました。今度はまた今回と違う時期に行きたいと思います。食事の味噌汁温かくて美味しかった~

Dear Mr. Kimura,

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. The sunset from a height greater than that of Mount Fuji is truly breathtaking, isn't it? Moreover, since you can drive up, there is hardly any concern about altitude sickness.

I'm glad to hear that the weather on the day of your tour was good, and you were able to see both the sunset and the stars beautifully. Please do reach out to us when you come again.

All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back. Thank you very much.

この度は弊社のツアーにご参加いただきまして、誠にありがとうございました。
富士山よりも高いところでのサンセットは圧巻ですよね。しかも車で登れてしまうので高山病の心配はほとんどありません。
木村様のご参加いただいたお日にちのツアーも天候もよく、夕陽も星もきれいに見られたようで何よりです。
きっとまた来られる際はお声おかけくださいね。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
ありがとうございました。

The starry sky stretched as far as the eye could see!!! The guide's explanations were enjoyable, engaging everyone in the group. It was a wonderful time where the guide's desire for us to have fun matched our desire to enjoy. The warm clothing provided was great, and I was grateful for the hot drinks prepared at the summit.

This is definitely a recommended tour if you visit the Big Island.

I would love to participate again☆ Thank you~.

見渡す限りの星空!!!ガイドさんの説明も楽しく参加者みんなを巻き込みながら話をしてくれました。ガイドさんの楽しんでもらいたいの気持ちと参加者の楽しみたいの気持ちがマッチしたとっても素敵な時間になりました。防寒具もあったかく、山頂であったかい飲み物も用意してくれてありがたかったです。

ハワイ島に行ったなら絶対おすすめのツアーです。

This time, I was able to participate in the Mauna Kea Nature School, and I had a truly moving experience. The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was indeed breathtaking. Additionally, the stargazing afterward was wonderful. The temperature at the summit is very low, and this tour is the only one that provides rental cold-weather gear, showing the thoughtful consideration of the tour company.

今回、マサシネイチャースクールに参加出来、大変感動したひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。
やはりマウナケア山頂からのサンセットは感動します。
また、その後の星座鑑賞も素晴らしかったです。

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 starry sky☆
満天の星に感動☆
Posted on: 2012/04/21

At first, I hesitated to join the trip alone, but I'm really glad I did. The guide and the other participants were all very kind. It was truly moving to see stars that can only be viewed in the latest planetarium in such a realistic way. The stars visible change with the seasons, so I definitely want to repeat this experience.

当初は一人旅で参加するのは、躊躇われましたが参加してよかったです。
ガイドさんも他の参加者の皆さんもとてもよくしてくださいました。
最新のプラネタリウムでないと見られないような星がリアルに見られるなんて、本当に感動しました。
季節によって見られる星が違うので、また絶対リピートしたいです。

I was moved.
感動しました。
Posted on: 2012/04/14

We had an amazing experience that we couldn't have on our own. The stargazing was wonderful, thanks to the favorable weather, and the sunset was truly breathtaking. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

自分たちでは、体験できない素晴らしい感動をいただきました。星空の観測も天候に恵まれ素晴らしく、サンセットに至っては、大感動でした。又ハワイ島に来た時には、参加したいと思います。有難う御座いました。

The children were delighted.
子供が喜びました
Posted on: 2012/04/04

I'm not a big fan of group activities, but since it's difficult to visit Mauna Kea on your own, I decided to sign up despite it being a bit pricey. To conclude, my two middle school children said it was the most fun they had during our eight-day trip. I also enjoyed it, but I couldn't fully rejoice because I had some concerns about the cost-performance ratio (laughs). However, I was able to enjoy many unique landscapes, so that was great!

あまり団体行動は好きではないのですが、マウナケアは個人で行きづらいので、ちょっとお高いですが申し込んでみました。
結論から言いますと、中学生の子供二人が今回8日間の旅中一番楽しかったと申しております。私も楽しかったですがCPがちょっと・・・というのが頭にあり、手放しで喜べないかな(笑)。でも変わった風景が沢山楽しめたのでよかったです!

何回目かのリピーターです

Every year when I go to the Big Island, I always visit Mauna Kea. No matter how many times I say it, I am always moved by the starry sky.

毎年ハワイ島に行ったら必ずマウナケアにはいきます。

ハワイ島 バードウォッチングツアー  ハカラウ・フォレスト国立野生動物保護区<1日/朝・昼食付/英語ガイド>
I was able to see some rare birds.
珍しい鳥が見れました
Posted on: 2012/03/26

I wanted to see the birds on the Big Island, so I participated even though I don't understand English. There were about ten participants, and I felt a bit flustered during the introductions in the car. Everything was explained in English, but there was a participation agreement in Japanese, so I thought it would be nice to have some explanation notes in Japanese. Although I couldn't understand the language, I enjoyed myself thanks to the guide and the consideration of the other participants who wanted everyone to have a good time, and I was able to see the birds properly. I think it's a good idea for participants to know how to use binoculars and some basic English.

英語がわからないけど、ハワイ島の鳥をみたかったので参加しました。
参加者は10名程度で行きの車の中で各自の自己紹介があって焦りました。
説明とかもすべて英語ですが、参加誓約書は日本語のものがあったので日本語での説明メモがあったらいいなあと思いました。
言葉は理解できませんでしたが、楽しんでもらおうというガイドさんや他の参加者の方の気遣いで楽しめましたし、鳥もちゃんと見れました。
参加する方は双眼鏡の使い方と簡単な英語は知っておいた方がいいと思います。

Thank you for participating in the birdwatching tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it.

The guide spoke in English, and many participants also spoke English, but we sincerely appreciate your feedback and will consider preparing Japanese explanation notes in the future.

Please join us again when you visit the Big Island!

この度はバードウォッチングツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。

またハワイ島にいらっしゃる際はご参加ください!

Wonderful view.
ばらしい景色
Posted on: 2012/03/20

I don't think it's ever possible to drive up to 4000 meters. Fortunately, I was able to see both the sunset and the stars (it seems to depend on the weather). The cold is manageable since they lend you a jacket and pants, so there's no need to worry too much; regular clothes (long sleeves and long pants) are sufficient.

4000mまで車で行けることは一生ないと思います。夕日も星も運良くよく(天候によるようです)見えました。寒さもジャケットとズボンを貸してくれるので、特に心配することはなく、普段着(長袖・長ズボン)で十分です。

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included
Good Value
Posted on: 2012/03/14

My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii. Going to a luah was one activity we chose. We took advantage of the preferred seating and felt it was worth the money. We were seated right in the front, were able to go first to the buffet and received $5 off our picture and paid only $5 for parking. The entertainment was truly amazing. The food was o.k but we didn't expect a whole lot. The dancers even stood at the exit so you could get a picture with them.

You should experience it at least once.
一度は経験してみるべき。
Posted on: 2012/03/13

The participants were all newlywed couples. At first, my husband and I, a couple in our forties, felt overwhelmed by the intense lovey-dovey atmosphere around us and regretted coming. However, once we saw the sunset from the mountaintop and the starry sky, those feelings faded away. The overwhelming nature was truly moving. It was that wonderful. The guide was also very interesting and passionate, which added to the experience.

参加者は新婚旅行のカップルばかりでした。なので、最初私たちアラフォー夫婦は周囲の激しいラブラブムードに押されてしまい、来たことを後悔しましたが、山頂からの夕日、そして満天の星空を観たらそんなことはどうでもよくなりました。圧倒的な自然は感動です。それくらい素晴らしかったです。ガイドさんがとても面白く熱い人だったのもよかったです。

This is a fine way to see the reef, at a depth beyond comfortable SCUBA range. The crew is very professional and obviously happy to be doing what they do.
