White night sky 白い夜空

Reviewed by: ウォルナッツ

This trip to Hawaii was a honeymoon, and it was an experience that far exceeded my expectations, leaving me very satisfied.

First of all, our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was incredibly entertaining, and we had a great time chatting and making detours along the way. As we approached the summit, the temperature gradually dropped, and we enjoyed a bento dinner at the Onizuka Center, where miso soup was also provided, warming both our hearts and bodies.

The view of the sunset from the summit changed moment by moment, and it was truly beautiful. Furthermore, during the stargazing, I was amazed by the countless stars shining brightly! The night sky felt almost white with the starlight. It was such a dreamlike scene that I really regretted not being able to capture it in photos. Additionally, Mr. Yamamoto provided clear explanations of the constellations, which was very educational.

Depending on the season, I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Big Island.

今回のハワイ旅行はハネムーンだったのですが、予想を遥かに超える体験ができ大満足でした。

まず、ガイドの山本さんがとっても楽しませてくれて、道中もいろいろ話したり寄り道をしたりと大盛りあがりでした。
山頂までは徐々に寒さを増し、途中のオニヅカセンターで夕食にお弁当をいただくのですが、お味噌汁も用意され心も体も暖まりました。

山頂からのサンセットの眺めは刻々と姿が変わり、本当にキレイの連発でした。さらに、星空観測では無数の星の輝きに驚かされるばかり！！まさに星明りで夜空が白く感じられるんです。夢のような光景で写真に残せないのが本当に残念です。また、ガイドの山本さんが分かりやすく星座の説明をしてくれるので勉強にもなりました。
時期にもよるかと思いますが、ハワイ島に行かれる方にはとってもオススメです。

It was my first time attending a luau. The dancers were awesome, and I def. loved the fire dancer. The quality of the foods was good. I'm pretty sure there are people who don't like certain foods, but hey, you are experience something different, right? I liked poi, though not too many people tried it. Overall, it was a great experience.

Reviewed by: みのっちファン夫婦

I participated on June 21.
It was absolutely amazing! To be specific about what was great:
1. The journey
As we made our way to the summit, we picked up guests while touring around the hotel, and the scenery along with the guide's commentary kept us engaged. We stopped at beautiful spots along the way to take photos.
2. Japanese cuisine
You might wonder why we had Japanese food for dinner while abroad, but once you taste it on-site, you'll understand. The miso soup enjoyed in that magnificent scenery and cold weather is exceptional!
3. The scenery
It can't be conveyed through photos. It's simply incredible. I was left speechless beyond that word. It's something I want my loved ones to see.
4. The starry sky
Even as someone who is used to seeing stars living in the countryside, I was moved by its beauty. I could see satellites and the Milky Way. I also spotted several shooting stars. They showed us Saturn's rings and Jupiter's stripes through a telescope. The guide's extensive knowledge and enjoyable explanations enhanced the experience.
5. Warm clothing
I believe it was warmer than the cold-weather gear from other companies that were also at the summit.
6. The guide
Their knowledge, personality, and reliability were all top-notch. I will definitely return!

６月２１日に参加しました。
とにかく最高です！何が最高なのか具体的に書くと
１.道中
　　ホテルを回りお客さんを拾いながら山頂へ向かって行きますが、景色とガイドのトークが飽きさせません。山頂までの途中、景色の良いところで下車し写真撮影もさせてくれます。
２.和食
　　なぜ海外なのに夕食に和食が出るのかと思いますが、現場で食べて見ればわかります。あの雄大な景色と寒さの中ですする味噌汁は格別です！
３．景色
　　写真では伝わりません。凄いの一言です。この言葉以外言葉を失いました。大切な人に見て欲しいものがそこにあります。
４．星空
　　田舎住まいで星に見慣れている私ですら感動する綺麗さです。人口衛星も天の川も見れました。流れ星もいくつも見れました。望遠鏡で土星の輪や木星の縞模様も見せてくれました。ガイドの知識の豊富さと楽しい解説が魅力を引き立ててくれます。
５.防寒着
　　同じく山頂にいた他社の防寒着より暖かいものだと思います。
６.ガイド
　　知識、人柄、頼りがい、どれをとっても最高でした。またリピートします！

On June 6, 2008, I participated with four colleagues from work! When we saw the sunset, it was super cold! I thought, "Is this really Hawaii???" but they lent us jumpsuits, so we managed to get through it. (Personally, I think I should have worn more layers underneath...) After that, we went down a bit from the summit to see the starry sky, and it was just a sky full of stars☆★ They used a laser pointer to explain everything clearly. I saw the Milky Way for the first time and the Southern Cross! It was an overwhelming experience. Furthermore, our guide, Shinya, seemed to have a hobby for photography and took pictures of us with the stars in the background. This will be a treasure for a lifetime. Thank you so much!!

I truly believe it was the right choice to select this tour company! If I come back to the Big Island, I would love to join this tour again!! MAHALO!!

This was my third time participating in the tour, and I enjoyed it every time with new discoveries! The conversations during the car ride were lively, and it was great to see everyone getting along in such a friendly atmosphere.

When we watched the sunset, a very cold wind was blowing, but I was really happy to be lent a warm long coat and a jumpsuit (which can withstand minus temperatures).

During the stargazing, I was able to see my birth constellation, and the thrill of looking at the moon through the telescope was breathtaking! I hope to see shooting stars next time. I would like to come back when we can see "Subaru."

Thank you to our guide, Shinya, for the fun tour and for taking beautiful photos. I would love to join Shinya's tour again. I look forward to it!

It was a dance show and fire dance performed by Polynesian people. There was a person cracking coconuts, and between the shows, the host introduced the upcoming show, but since I don't understand English, it was all gibberish to me. However, I was able to enjoy the show itself regardless of the language barrier. As for the food, my impression was, "Is this all there is?" By the way, the day we saw it was sunny, so it was outdoors, but it seems that the next day it was rainy and held indoors. I wonder if they can't do the fire dance indoors?

ポリネシアンの人たちが繰り広げるダンスショーやファイアーダンスでした。ココナッツ割の人とショーとショーの間これからやるショーの紹介を司会の人がしてくれていたみたいなんですが、英語がわからない私には、チンプンカンプンでした。ショー自体は英語がわからなくても関係なく楽しめました。ただし、料理は「こんなもんかな？」という感想です。ちなみに、私達が見た日は晴れていたので屋外でしたが、翌日は雨で屋内でやってたみたいです。ファイアーダンスは屋内だと出来ないような？？

On the day we participated, the weather was bad, and our guide Shinya told us that we didn't know what would happen. However, as we drove higher, it was clear above the clouds, and we were able to see a sky full of stars! I thought we would just be watching, but he used a laser pointer to explain things, which made me very satisfied. Also, the moment the sun was setting was truly moving.

The photos taken by Shinya, who has a hobby of photography, were all great, and I felt glad that I chose this tour.

I was worried about altitude sickness, but I was fine, only experiencing a slight headache on the way back.

私たちが参加した日は天候が悪くどうなるかわからないとガイドのしんやさんに言われましたが、車でどんどん登っていくと雲の上は晴れていて、満天の星を見ることができました！
ただずっと見ているだけだと思ったら､ﾚｰｻﾞｰﾎﾟｲﾝﾀｰを使って解説してくれたりして大満足です。

I participated with a friend on May 1, 2008!!

I had only been to the Big Island once as a child, so I was a bit anxious, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

My friend had just arrived from Japan and was tired, but thanks to our guide's lively talk, we had an enriching time right from the first day.

The sunset at Mauna Kea was truly spectacular. After taking a break for lunch, we positioned ourselves above the clouds. At that moment, I was so moved that my eyes became teary. At the summit, the beauty of the sunset left me speechless. How can I describe it... it felt like being close to God...

While other tours left one after another, our tour stayed a while longer, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful gradient of the sky after the sun had set. Even though it was May, there was still snow on the mountainside, and it was cold, but thanks to the incredibly warm overalls I borrowed, no one returned to the car for warmth, and we could fully enjoy the wonders of nature. I felt a bit sad to leave after spending so much time there.

As for the starry sky, our guide mentioned that the conditions weren't great due to clouds, but he tried to read the wind flow and move us to a better spot. For someone like me, who only knows the sky over Nagoya, it was a breathtaking sight filled with stars that made me unable to hold back my tears.

I became completely absorbed in the guide's explanations of the stars, even though I had no knowledge of constellations. As I followed the stars he pointed out with my eyes, it was truly magical!! My favorite was Canis Major. It was adorable.

This tour would be romantic for couples, fun and educational for families with children, and enjoyable for friends like us.

Above all, our guide Shinya's stories, enthusiasm, and tone of voice were fantastic. He was easy to understand and entertaining, while also being very professional. I would love to use this tour again with another friend next time.

I was really happy that he kindly answered questions about the Big Island beyond the tour. Thank you, Shinya!! Take care until we meet again~＾−＾☆

２００８年５月1日に女２人で参加しました！！

ハワイ島は子供も頃に１度つれられてきただけで初めてのようなもので不安でしたが素晴らしい体験が出来ました。

友達は日本からきたばかりで疲れていたにもかかわらず、ガイドさんの軽快なトークにのせられて初日から濃い時間を過ごせました

マウナケアの夕日は本当に素晴らしかったです。
途中、お弁当休憩をとった後くらいから雲の上に位置していきます。
この時点で私は感動のあまり目頭があつくなりました。
山頂でのサンセットではあまりの美しさに言葉がでませんでした。
なんとたとえたらいいでしょうか・・
神様の近くにいるような感じ・・・・かな。

ほかのツアーが次々と引き上げていく中、私たちのツアーだけがしばし留まり、日が落ちた後の素晴らしい空のグラデーションを堪能しました。
５月だというのに山肌には雪が残っており寒かったのですが、ものすごく暖かいつなぎのような服をお借りしたおかげでだれひとり車に暖をとりに戻る人もおらず、自然の神秘をこころゆくまで堪能することができました。
ずいぶんとそこにいたのに、立ち去るのがさみしいくらいでした。

星空は、ガイドさんの話では雲があるためコンディションはあまりよくないとのことでしたが、風の流れを読み移動を試みてくださって、普段名古屋の空しか知らないわたしにとっては流れる涙をとめることが出来ないほどの満天の星でした。

そしてガイドさんの星の説明に、まったく星座の知識のない私でも夢中になっていきました。
ガイドさんの指す星を目で追っていくとあら不思議！！
ほんとうにその形が浮かび上がってきます。
わたしのお気に入りは大犬座。かわいかったです。

このツアーはカップルで参加してもロマンティックだしお子様連れなら楽しくお勉強もできるかんじだし、私たちのような女同士でも満喫できるものだと思います。

なによりガイドのシンヤさんのお話やガッツや声のトーンなどが最高でした。
よく聞き取れておもしろく、またプロフェッショナルでもありました。
次回はまた別の友達とも利用したいです。

ツアー以外のハワイ島の質問にも快く答えてくださり本当に嬉しかったです。
シンヤさんありがとう!!
また会う日までお元気で~＾−＾☆

Reviewed by: ＫＯＵ

I participated on April 16th. I considered other companies for the Mauna Kea summit tour, but I think choosing Nature School was the right decision.

Positive points: The guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was friendly and very knowledgeable. His explanations were very easy to understand.

The driving was safe, allowing us to feel secure throughout the ride.

They took us to more locations than any other tour, and we had plenty of opportunities for commemorative photos. (They took us all around Mauna Kea.)

They were the last to descend from Mauna Kea compared to other tours. (It seems there’s a rule from the observatory that we must descend within 30 minutes after sunset, but they stayed with us until the very end. It’s cold, and watching the sunset outside can be tough, but we could relax and enjoy it from inside the vehicle.)

The warm clothing provided seemed to be the best among other tours. (They had jackets and two types of full-body suits for women. The jackets were long enough to keep our feet warm.)

Stargazing was possible at the highest elevation compared to other tours. (Other tour companies had already descended, so there were no distracting car lights. We could see from a paved area, minimizing dust. Depending on the day, they might need to go lower due to wind conditions.)

I strongly recommend checking the moon phase before going. If the moon phase doesn’t align, it might be worth adjusting your travel dates for this tour in Hawaii. If you plan to take this tour, it’s quickest to ask on the Nature School website which day would be best for your visit to the Big Island.

It was amazing!!!!

４月１６日に参加いたしました。マウナケア山頂のツアーは他社もあり、検討しましたがネイチャースクールで大正解だったと思います。

良かった点・ガイドの「山本さん」が気さくで非常に物知り。説明も非常にわかりやすい。

安全運転で終始安心して乗ってられる。

どこのツアーよりも多くの場所を廻ってくれて度々、記念撮影が出来る。（マウナケア山では隅から隅まで廻ってくれました）

どこのツアーよりも一番最後にマウナケア山を下りてくれる。（日が沈んでから３０分以内に山頂は下りないといけないというルールが天文台からきているようですが、ギリギリまでいてくれます。寒くて、サンセットをずっと外で見るのは厳しいですが車内でのんびり見れます）

防寒具が他のツアーよりも一番暖かそう。（ジャケット、女全身ツナギ２種類ありました。ジャケットも裾が長く足元まで暖か）

天体観測がどこのツアーよりも一番標高が高いところで出来る。（他のツアー会社が既に下りているので、邪魔な車の光は一切無しです。舗装されているところで見れるので砂埃なども少ない。日によっては風などの影響で下に下りる事もあるようです。）

月齢を調べて行くことを強くお勧めいたします。月齢が合わないのならば、このツアーの為にハワイの旅行日をずらしてもいい位です。
もしこのツアーで行くのならば、ネイチャースクールのホームページで質問を受け付けていたので、自分のハワイ島へ行く日でどの日が一番いいですか？と質問するのが一番手っ取り早いです。

最高でした！！！！

Today, my favorite Orion constellation rose in the sky over Kawanishi. Every time I see Orion, I remember the Orion from Mauna Kea. That Orion, buried among the stars, was so unique! I had never seen such an Orion before! The moment I tilted my head back to gaze at the night sky, the voices of everyone's excitement echoed around us! It was truly a sight of gold, silver, and sand! Numerous satellites passed through the night sky. The Sirius we observed through the telescope sparkled brilliantly and was incredibly beautiful! The rings of Saturn were astonishingly vertical, which was a surprise! My 76-year-old mother still lights up with joy when she recalls that memory. Everyone who joined us was also very moved, and as the organizer, I feel a bit proud. After all, we were at 4,205 meters. When we arrived at the hotel, our water bottles were crumpled. I recommend the stargazing at Mauna Kea to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii, as well as those who aren't. The ocean in Hawaii is certainly wonderful, but Mauna Kea offered an even greater sense of awe and inspiration. The charming talk from the handsome guide was also very appealing. It's been two weeks since I returned from this trip, where I thought I might be done with Hawaii, and I'm already longing for that starry sky and sunset again.

今日も川西の空に大好きなオリオン座が上ってきました。そのオリオンを見るたびに、マウナケアのオリオンを思い出します。　一目でそれとは分からないくらい、星々に埋もれたあの！オリオンを！！あんなオリオン見たことない！　あの時、首を後ろに倒して夜空を見上げた途端、みんなの感激の声が響き渡りましたね！　まさに金・銀・砂子の☆☆☆！人工衛星がいくつも夜空を通り過ぎて行きました。望遠鏡で見せていただいた、シリウス。燦然とまばゆいばかりに煌いて美しいことこの上もなし！！土星の輪はナント、縦についていて、ビックリ！　76歳の母も一番の思い出と今でも目をきらきらさせて喜んでいます。ご一緒した皆さんもとても感激されて、企画した私はちょっと自慢です。なんたって4205ｍ。ホテルに着いたらペットボトルがへしゃげてました。ハワイ旅行を計画してる人はもちろん、していない人にもマウナケアの星空観測を勧めています。ハワイの海はもちろんとても素敵だけど、それ以上の感激と感動をマウナケアはプレゼントしてくれました。ハンサムな山ちゃんのトークもとても魅力的でした。ハワイももういいかなぁと思って行った今回の旅行から帰ってきて2週間。あの星空と夕陽がまた恋しくなってきました。

Regarding the Big Island and the stars, our guide "Yamachan" was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot while having a great time. It's no wonder they named it "Nature School."

Since I participated in late March, I would like to join again to see the summer night sky.

The summit of Mauna Kea is very cold, but the cold weather gear provided on this tour is the best in terms of warmth compared to other tours, and it was really great. I wonder if this is the only place that lends out coveralls?

We enjoyed the show, and the MC was really funny and had a good voice. Before it started we ended up waiting in several different areas for them to set up. The cups for the drinks were too small, even for water and soda. I can understand having small cups for the alcohol, but it was difficult to drink enough water. It would have been more comfortable with the tables and chairs set up on the grass, instead of sitting on concrete (too hot!)Also, a bigger selection of vegetarian options would be good. Overall, as first timers to the Island, we really enjoyed the show. Thanks!

It was definitely a unique experience, and having it depart from the pier in downtown Kona was great. We saw some marine life, though I guess we expected a bit more variety of fish (mostly yellow ones). Guess the fish don't come when it's sub time though! We loved looking at the coral and seeing a whole different world under the surface.

We did buy the CD that was offered for $20 with your picture, thinking it would have a variety of marine life pictures from previous trips, but on first inspection, it doesn't appear to have much. We did get our picture on the CD plus pictures of everyone else on the ride ... Don't think it was worth the $20.

Overall, a great and unique thing to do and I'd definitely recommend it to first-timers and those with kids, but not something I'd do again I don't think.

The guide, Yamachan, was also interesting, and I have been recommending this tour to my friends and family. I definitely want to participate again!

Big Island Afternoon Whale Watch Tour from Kona - Body Glove Cruises [Dec - Mar]

Whale Watching

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We were very lucky to see the three whales up-close. One young calf was trying hard to breach with the mother, which was very adorable. The staff was very informative and helpful. I would do this again.

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

Submarine Ride

Reviewed by: Doug

Overall, it was a fun experience to be in a submarine. We got to see a pod of dolphins, so that was exciting. It's like scuba diving but you don't get wet. Pretty neat. The pier is a walking distance from downtown Kona, so it was very close to our hotel.

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Island Breeze Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was our first time to the Islands and our first Luau. We were not disappointed. We had a fantastic time and loved the entertainment. The host was great and very informative of the Hawiian and Polynesian cultures. We loved the costumes and how the dancers interacted with the guest. We upgraded our tickets and ended up sitting in the very front row. WoW! We could not have had a better time.

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 night feeling like Hawaii☆ ハワイを感じる夜☆

Reviewed by: Kie

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to have at least one dinner that truly felt like Hawaii, so I participated in this show. There was a bit of a wait from check-in to entry, but once we were shown to our seats, there were various activities prepared one after another, and I was able to enjoy myself to the fullest without getting bored. Next to us was a group of grandparents in their mid-80s who were college friends, and we had a great time chatting with them. The food was a spread of local Hawaiian dishes, and what I thought would be just a little bit ended up filling my plate completely, leaving me quite full. As for the dancing, several young women and men performed dances from various countries, and it was very impressive. It turned out to be a memorable night!

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 very satisfied. 大満足でした

Reviewed by: HANCHAN

I returned home yesterday, and I'm reminiscing by looking back at my photos. Although I was disappointed that my initial reservation for Mauna Kea on the 5th was canceled, we went ahead on the final day of our stay, the 8th. It was cold! The snow that fell until yesterday created a stunning winter wonderland in this "tropical country." However, while we were able to see the sunset, the cloudy sky made it impossible to see the stars.

Instead, we were able to clearly see the bright red river of lava flowing from Kilauea volcano through the telescope that was set up for us! This was a sight that would be impossible to see during the day and also not something you would encounter while hiking Kilauea, so it was incredibly moving. The staff were also surprised, saying, "I've never seen it this clearly before."

Satisfied with that, we set off on our way back, but suddenly veered off the main road at Highway 19 and stopped. Although it wasn't quite at the summit, we were treated to a breathtaking starry sky that would be impossible to see in Japan, and we received a light-hearted explanation of the Milky Way and constellations. It was my first experience confirming our zodiac signs, Cancer and Gemini, with my partner.

Thank you so much, Minoyan, for the extra direction and guidance!

　昨日帰国しましたが、写真を見返して思い出を反芻しています。
　マウナ･ケア行きは、当初予約の5日がキャンセルで残念でしたが、滞在最終日の8日は決行。寒い！昨日までの降雪で真っ白な「常夏の国の」銀世界は圧巻。ただし落日は観られたものの曇天で星空は無理でした。
　しかしその代わりに、セットしてもらった望遠鏡で、キラウエア火山から流れ出る真っ赤な溶岩の川が鮮明に！！！昼間は絶対に無理な、またキラウエア登山でもお目にかかれない光景だそうで大感動でした。スタッフの方も「こんなに鮮明に見えたのは初めてだ｣と驚いていたほどです。
　それで満足して帰途についたのですが、もう少しで19号線という場所で突然横道にそれて停車。山頂には及ばないらしいものの、日本では到底無理な満天の星空で、天の川や星座の解説を軽妙にしてもらいました。自分と連れ合いの、かに座・双子座の確認は初めての体験です。
　みのやん、エキストラの演出、本当に有難うございました。
