A bright red sunset and a starry sky! 真っ赤なサンセットと満点の星空！

Reviewed by: I.S

Last May, I participated in the Sunrise stargazing tour and had such a great time that this time, I joined the Sunset & Stargazing tour for my honeymoon trip. This year, I was worried because the weather on the ground was not very clear, possibly due to the effects of the Kilauea volcano a month ago, but the area near the summit was a completely different world! The sunset was perfect, with the sunlight reflecting off the clouds, creating a bright red sky. During the stargazing, as time went on, the sky filled with countless stars! The guide was very unique and fun, making the experience very enjoyable! By the way, it’s a good idea to check the moonrise time when choosing between sunset or sunrise for stargazing.

I hope to participate again next time. Thank you!

昨年5月にサンライズの星空観測ツアーに参加してとても良かったので、今回はハネムーン旅行でこちらのサンセット&星空観測ツアーに参加しました。
今年は1ヶ月前のキラウエア火山の影響もあってか、地上はあまり晴れやかな天気が少なく心配してましたが、山頂付近は全くの別世界！サンセットは雲に丁度良く太陽の光が反射して真っ赤な空が見れました。星空観測では、時間が経つにつれて出て来る出て来る満点の星空！
ガイドさんもとても個性的で楽しく、明るくとても楽しむ事が出来ました！
因みに…星空観測の際は、月の出る時間を調べてサンセットかサンライズを選ぶと良いそうですよ★

また次回、参加したいなと思います。
ありがとうございました！

Once in a lifetime 一生に一度は

Reviewed by: yumitan

I was worried about the weather being cloudy on the day and whether we would be able to observe the stars, but after arriving at the Onizuka Center, the clouds cleared, and we were able to see the sunset and Maui Island. As it got dark, the main stargazing experience was the best memory, something I can't experience in Japan. The outflow from Kilauea Volcano to the sea was also clearly visible. I brought my digital SLR and tripod, so I was able to take many photos of the stars (which can't be captured with a smartphone camera or digital camera). The driver will take some photos for you, so it's okay if you don't have a DSLR. I participated this time with my daughter, but next time I will join with my husband.

当日の天気は曇っていて星空観察ができるか心配しておりましたが、オニズカセンターに着きしばらくすると雲も流れ去り、サンセットもマウイ島も見る事ができました。暗くなりメインの星空観察は日本では体験できない位、最高の思い出です。キラウエア火山からの海への流出もはっきりと見えました。私はデジタル一眼レフと三脚持参でしたので、沢山の星を撮ることが、出来ました。（スマホのカメラやデジタルカメラでは撮影できないので。)
ドライバーさんが何枚かは撮影してくれますので、一眼レフ、お持ちでない方OKですよ。
今回は娘と参加しましたが、次回は主人と参加します。

the views from the top of Mauna Kea are breathtaking, despite the cold. Jeff, our host was the best tour guide, funny, friendly and veru knowledgeable of the the tour and the history of the sites. All along the tour he would explain the site you are crossing and the topography.
The star gazing experience is somehting cool for someone neer seen into space before.

Somehow, the sunset! 何とかサンセットだけは！

Reviewed by: かわうそ姉さん

Since it was almost a full moon and cloudy, I didn't have high expectations for the starry sky (laughs). Our tour guide, JIN, was very knowledgeable and provided explanations that I hadn't heard on other tours, which was very educational. I also appreciated how much he respected the Japanese community, which came through in his conversation. (After returning home, I reflected on their achievements as well.)

At the actual summit of Mauna Kea, both my husband and I experienced symptoms of altitude sickness, which was unexpected (but don't worry, it wasn't severe!). I realized we shouldn't underestimate it (though we got used to it quickly—maybe it's due to our age). My husband was thrilled to finally visit the location of the National Astronomical Observatory and the Subaru Telescope, which he had always admired. The sunset was incredibly beautiful with the contrast of the clouds and the sunset, making it the highlight of our trip.

Although the stargazing didn't turn out as hoped, we were able to take photos with the volcano thanks to JIN's photography skills. As expected! I would love to visit again during a new moon when the volcanic activity has calmed down.

ほぼ満月ということ、曇っていたので星空は元々期待せずに参加（笑）。
ツアーガイドのJINさんは博学で、前日別ツアーにはない説明もしてくださり、
とても勉強になりました。また日系の方々をとてもリスペクトされていることが、話から伝わってきて好感が持てました。（帰国後彼らの功績を私も振り返ってみました）
実際のマウナケア山頂は思いのほか高山病？的な症状に夫婦揃って罹り（でも
重症ではないですのでご安心を！）侮ってはいけないと思いました（でも、すぐに慣れました・年齢のせいかしら）。
主人はずっと憧れていた国立天文台・すばる望遠鏡の場所に来れたことに感動していました。サンセットは雲と夕日のコントラストでとても美しく、今回の旅での一番の記念になりました。
星空観測は残念な結果となりましたが、JINさんの撮影で火山と一緒に撮影することができました。さすが！
今度は、新月で火山噴火が落ち着いたころにまた訪れたいです。

You can see Kilauea! キラウエアが見えるとは！

Reviewed by: また新月狙って来ねば！

I learned a lot of things I didn't know thanks to our guide, Jin's, knowledgeable explanations. The high-altitude clouds and the brightness of the moon made it difficult to see the stars, but I felt that if I climbed a mountain in Japan, I would be able to see a more starry sky. However, we did get to take commemorative photos with the red glow of the lava from Kilauea, which is 100 km away, falling into the sea in the background. The impact is different with a professional camera.

ガイドの仁さんの博学な説明で、知らなかったことを沢山学びました。高層雲がかかったのと、月が明るすぎて星の見え方は今ひとつ、日本でも山に登ればもっと満天の星空が見えるという感じでした。でも、100kmも離れたキラウエアの熔岩が海に落ちる所が赤く光っているのをバックに記念撮影して頂きました。プロのカメラだと迫力が違いますね。

Southern Cross and Haleakalā 南十字星とハレアカラ

Reviewed by: Ｋ．ＫＥＩ

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and we could see the summit of Mauna Kea from the hotel in the morning. I was worried when clouds appeared along the way, but the summit was clear. Mauna Loa and Hualalai were also clearly visible. It was colder than I expected, so I was grateful for the warm clothing I rented. A few days earlier, I had seen Mauna Kea from Haleakalā on Maui, so it was fulfilling to see Haleakalā from Mauna Kea in return. When it got dark, I was able to see the Southern Cross, which I had longed to see during stargazing. The guide provided detailed explanations of constellations like Scorpius, Libra, Virgo, and Cancer, which was very educational. I appreciated the guide's stories and attentiveness. It was a very good tour.

途中、雲が出て心配したが山頂は快晴。

On the day of the tour, the weather was gloomy and I wondered where Mauna Kea was, but when we reached the summit, it was clear, and we were able to enjoy a sunset with beautiful colors. By the time the stars began to appear, the thin clouds above had cleared, providing the best stargazing experience.

It was a tour where I could enjoy the sunset and the starry sky with my eyes, listen to the guide's explanations with my ears, and feel the cold at an altitude of 4,000 meters on my skin.

The guide's explanations and trivia on the way there and back were very helpful. There was a wealth of recommended information about the Big Island, and I wish I had participated in the tour on the first day.

ツアー当日はどんよりした天気でマウナケアはどこに山があるの？な感じでしたが、

I was able to see many stars and a wonderful sunset. 沢山の星と素晴らしいサンセットを見ることができました。

Reviewed by: mpb

The guide, Herald, was friendly and kept the group energized during the long drive. He shared a lot of local information about Hawaii. If you understand English, I think it's easier to participate than in a Japanese tour.

Although the weather in Kona was nice on the day of the tour, it rained as we got closer to Mauna Kea, and I was worried about the weather at the summit. However, when we arrived at the top, it was above the clouds, so there was no need to worry.

The summit of Mauna Kea was really cold. Even with a light down jacket and four layers underneath, plus a large down jacket they provided, I still felt cold. Despite the warnings about needing a jacket and long pants, some people didn't prepare, and it seemed quite cold, so they ended up spending most of the time on the bus, which was disappointing to see. (So, warm clothing is essential.)

There were parts where we joined other group tours, which made it hard to hear the explanations, and there were often car lights and white lights that are strictly prohibited for stargazing. However, I was able to see shooting stars multiple times, which was moving! I highly recommend it.

とにかくガイドのヘラルドがフレンドリーで、車の長い道のりもグループを盛り上げてくれました。ハワイのローカル情報もたくさん教えてくれました。英語が分かる方なら日本語ツアーより参加しやすいと思います。
当日はコナの天気は良かったもののマウナケアに近づくほど雨で、山頂の天気を心配しましたが、山頂に着くとそこは雲の上で心配無用でした。
マウナケアの山頂は本当に寒かったです。ライトダウンを着て4枚も着込んだ上に貸してくれる大きなダウンを着ても寒かったです。
あれだけ注意事項に上着必須、長ズボンと書いてあっても用意していない人もいて、かなり寒かったらしくバスの中でほとんどを過ごすこととなり、見ていて残念でした。(そのため、防寒具必須です)
ほかの団体ツアーと一緒になる部分もあり、説明が聞き取れなかったり、星を見るには厳禁の車のライトやホワイトライトが行き交うことも多かったですが、流れ星を何度も見ることができ、感動的でした！お勧めです。

I prepared for the cold by bringing a hoodie, a rash guard, and slacks, as it was mentioned in advance to dress in layers. I thought it would be just right to receive warm clothing at the 2,800-meter "Onizuka Visitor Center." However, when I reached the summit, it was quite windy and very cold! I borrowed gloves, but it was still chilly. I seriously wished I had a sweater. The view from the top was fantastic, possibly because the air was so clear. The sunset was beautiful. At night, since the moon wasn't out, I was able to observe many stars, and the guide explained the constellations using a laser pointer, which was a lot of fun. I was impressed by the guide's extensive knowledge!

What surprised me was that I could see the "Hubble Space Telescope" flying right above the tour! It became a great memory.

事前に「寒いので重ね着の用意を」と書いてあったので、パーカーとラッシュガード、スラックスを持って行きました。2,800メートルの「オニズカ・ビジターセンター」で防寒着をもらって丁度良いかな？なんて。頂上に着いたら風もあり寒いのなんのって！手袋も借りていましたが寒い。真面目にセーターが欲しかったです。頂上からの景色は空気もきれいなのでしょうかとても良かったです。夕日のきれいでした。夜の星も月が出ていなかったのでたくさん観測することができ、案内の方がレーザーポインターで星座を説明してくれてとても楽しかったです。案内の方の知識の凄いこと！感心しました。
そう！ビックリしたのは「ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡」が丁度ツアーの上を飛んでいるのが見えたことです！良い記念になりました。

I fully understood that the weather could affect our plans, but the island tour, including Kilauea, that I had booked the day before was canceled due to the eruption. I prayed to at least see Mauna Kea, and my prayers were answered.

Without suffering from altitude sickness, I witnessed a beautiful sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. For some reason, I found myself in tears. Then, at a parking lot a little lower down, we enjoyed a starry sky. It was a luxurious time lying down together just to gaze at the stars. Kon-chan's explanations were easy to understand.

It was a perfect night with a sky full of stars, with no moon in sight. It was an experience I will never forget.

天気に左右されることは充分わかっていましたが、前日に予約していたキラウエアを含む島内観光が噴火によりツアー中止になり、マウナケア山だけでもなんとか見たい！の祈りが天に通じました。

Recently, the weather in Hawaii has been unusual, and it hasn't been good since February. Naturally, this time at Mauna Kea, we only made it to Onizuka.

It will become invalid if I don't come to Hawaii within two years, so it gives me motivation. I will make a comeback within two years!

最近のハワイは異常気象で天気が2月から良くありません。当然今回のマウナケアもオニズカまででした。サンセットもダメ、天の川もだめでした。ツアーキャンセルもできましたが、2年間有効のツアー券がもらえるとの事で、参加しました。2年以内にハワイにこないと無効になりますので、励みになります。2年以内にリベンジします！

Can you climb to the summit of Mauna Kea? An exciting journey! マウナケアの山頂に登れるか？ドキドキの旅

Reviewed by: piapia

The first thing the hotel staff said upon our arrival was, "It was snowing in the morning, and the summit was closed. It's open now, but we don't know when it might close again." We set off with a bit of a resigned attitude. Normally in April, there's an 80% chance of reaching the summit, but this year, there's an 80% chance of not being able to. They mentioned that for the past few days, no one had been able to reach the summit. When we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center, it was raining quite a bit, and we were fully in a resigned mode. After a while, the rain stopped, so we decided to eat our lunch outside. Then, gradually, it started to brighten up, and we were able to climb Mauna Kea! Although we couldn't see the bright red sunset like in the pictures, we were grateful to have made it to the summit.

For stargazing, they helped us find a good spot to see the stars. The explanations about the stars were easy to understand. We even saw shooting stars. What was unexpectedly delightful was that during the stargazing session, we were served cookies and tea, and the cookies were Mrs. Barry's cookies, which I had wanted to try! Thank you to our guides, Jin and Konno! It was a very satisfying tour.

The summit of Mauna Kea is cold. They lend you upper and lower wear, so I brought my own lightweight down jacket, high socks, and gloves that allow me to use my smartphone. They also lend gloves, but they are thick, making it inconvenient to operate the camera.

　ホテルにお迎えの第一声が、「午前中は雪が降っていて、山頂はクローズしてました。今は、開いてますが、いつクローズになるかわかりません。」ちょっとあきらめ模様で出発。通常4月は、山頂に登れるのが80％だが、今年は山頂に登れないのが、80％とのこと。この何日間は、山頂まで登れていないとのこと。オニヅカビジターセンターに着いて、結構雨が降っていてもうあきらめモード全開。しばらくしたらやんだので、外でお弁当を食べることに。そしたら、だんだん明るくなってきて、マウナケア登れました！写真でみるような真っ赤な夕焼けはみれなかったけど、登れたことに感謝しよう。
　星空観測は、見える所を探して見せてくれました。星の説明もわかりやすかったです。流れ星もみました。予想外にうれしかったのが、星空観測の際にクッキーと紅茶をいただいたのですが、そのクッキーが食べてみたかったミセスバリーズのクッキーでした！ガイドのジンさん、コンノさんお世話になりました！とても満足できるツアーでした。
　マウナケアの山頂は、寒いです。上下のウェアを貸してくれるので、自分で薄手のダウンとハイソックスの靴下とスマホができる手袋を持っていきました。手袋も貸してもらえますが、分厚いのでカメラの操作をするには不自由です。

Reviewed by: けんけん

When I got into the shuttle car, I wasn't sure if we would be able to see the sunset, but I was told that we could still climb to the summit. We ascended to the Onitsuka Center as planned, and while we were eating our lunch, the situation changed. Due to bad weather, the gate beyond that point was closed, and we were informed that we couldn't go to the summit today. Indeed, the fog was thick, and the visibility was poor, making it look dangerous for an amateur to drive any further. It was disappointing, but from there, the plan changed to the driver's original itinerary. We aimed for a spot where we could see the sunset, and those who opted out of the stargazing were taken back to the hotel, which seemed quite challenging.

Anyway, the distance we had to travel was long, and the car was going fast, which felt a bit scary for us since we weren't used to it. However, the driver was experienced, and the roads were wide with many straight stretches, so we managed to return to the hotel safely without encountering any particularly dangerous situations. It was very unfortunate that we couldn't reach the summit. We received a rain check, a re-participation ticket valid for two years, but since it's not easy for us to come back, I thought it would have been nice if we could get about half of our money back...

送迎の車に乗った時には、夕日が見えるかどうかはわからないが、一応山頂までは登っていけるとのことでした。予定通りにオニツカセンターまで登り、お弁当を食べている間に状況が変わりました。悪天候のため、そこから先のゲートがクローズされ、本日は山頂に行けないとのことでした。たしかにガスがかかって視界が悪く、この先を運転していくのは素人目に見ても危険な感じでした。残念でしたが、そこからは運転手兼ツアーガイドのオリジナルプランへの変更されました。夕日の見えるところを目指し、その後の星空観測を辞退する方をホテルに送り、大変そうでした。とにかく移動距離が長いので、車のスピードが速く、なれない我々には多少怖い感じがしました。が、そこは毎日運転していて大丈夫なのでしょう、道も広く、直線が多いので、とくに危ない目にも会わず無事にホテルまで帰ってくることができました。山頂まで登れなかったのは非常に残念でした。レインチェックという、2年間有効の再参加チケットをもらいましたが、なかなか来れないので、半額位返ってくるとよかったのになぁ。。。。って思いました。

At the visitor center, we had a bento box and miso soup, put on our warm clothing, and then ascended the unpaved road all the way up to 4,200 meters. The summit was very cold, and the wind exceeded 20 meters per second. The landscape resembled Mars, providing an experience that you can't have in Japan. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't favorable, and we couldn't enjoy a clear starry sky, but our guide, Mr. Kono, searched various spots to show us the stars. We later revisited Mauna Kea State Park on another day with a rental car. That time, we were blessed with clear skies and were able to enjoy a number of stars that can't be seen in Japan. Thank you very much, Mr. Kono, for everything.

3月後半、家族4人でマウナケア山頂　サンセット＆星空ツアーに参加。13人乗りのバスは日本人で満席に。途中、オニズカビジターセンターまでは、舗装された道路で順調。ビジターセンターでお弁当に味噌汁、防寒着を着て、舗装されていない道路を登り、一路4200mまで。頂上はとても寒く、また風も風速20mを超える状況。また、風景も火星を思わせるような景観で日本では経験できない環境を体験することができました。あいにく天気には恵まれず、晴天の星空を楽しむことはできませんでしたが、何とか星空を見せようとガイドのコンノさんはいろんな場所を探してくれました。途中立ち寄っていただいたマウナケア州立公園には、別の日に自分たちでレンタカーで再訪。そのときは晴天に恵まれて、日本では見られない数の星を楽しむことができました。コンノさん、いろいろありがとうございました。

I am very satisfied overall. 総合的に大満足です。

Reviewed by: ともこ

Mauna Kea was closed due to bad weather, so unfortunately, I couldn't reach the summit, but I was satisfied with the beautiful sunset along the beach and the starry sky afterward. At first, I considered joining a different English tour (which was cheaper), but I was glad to hear the explanations of the constellations in Japanese. Also, I was comforted by the miso soup that came with the bento (laughs). I saw a big rainbow after the rain, so overall, I was very satisfied. However, I still want to go up Mauna Kea, so I plan to go for a revenge trip during the dry season next time!

マウナケアは悪天候のため閉鎖されており、残念ながら頂上までは上がれませんでしたが、ビーチ沿いできれいな夕日、その後星空も見れたので、満足です。
最初は別の英語ツアーにしようかとも思っていたのですが（そっちのほうが安い）、星座の説明なんかは日本語で聞いてよかったです。
あとお弁当についていた味噌汁に癒されました（笑）。
雨上がりの大きな虹も見えましたし、総合的に大満足です。
でもやっぱりマウナケアには上りたいので、今度は乾季に、リベンジに行きたいと思います！

The weather is bad... 天気が悪く・・・

Reviewed by: ミント

The weather was cloudy, and I could hardly see the starry sky... I also couldn't see the sunset (crying). The pickup was at 2 PM and the time commitment was long until 10:30 PM, which made me sad. I understood that it was dependent on the weather, but it would have been nice if there were other activities planned that could change things up.

曇りの天気で星空がほとんど見えず。。。
サンセットも見れませんでした（泣）
２時ピックアップ２２時３０分と拘束時間も長く悲しくなりました。
天候に左右されることは分かっていましたが、他に何か変わる
アクテュイビティが用意されていたら良かったのです。

Happy happy ( *´艸｀) ハッピーハッピー( *´艸｀)

I was a bit worried about whether we would be able to see the sunset and the starry sky due to the cloudy weather, but our guide, Matsuzaki-san, really lifted our spirits. The members I was with were also fun and had great energy, making the car ride enjoyable. Matsuzaki-san was incredibly friendly and provided detailed explanations, answering any questions with precision and humor, which made me feel that choosing this tour was a great decision.

We were able to see a beautiful sunset and starry sky, and I truly appreciated that Matsuzaki-san even taught my daughter how to use her camera. Thank you so much! I would love to participate again! The photos I downloaded after returning home were absolutely beautiful! Even if I couldn't take great pictures with my own camera, I felt reassured knowing that they would capture moments for us throughout the tour.

曇り気味で夕焼けや星空が観られるのか、少し不安でしたが
ガイドのマツザキさんがすごく盛り上げて下さり、ご一緒したメンバーも
ノリが良く楽しい方々で車内からウキウキでした。
すごくフレンドリーで丁寧な説明と、どんな質問にも的確にそして笑いを交えて答えてくれるマツザキさんは、このツアーを選んで良かったなと思える最重要ポイントです。
無事に綺麗な夕焼けや星空を見る事ができ、娘のカメラの使い方まで教えて下さり本当にありがとうございました。また参加したいです！
帰国してからダウンロードさせていただいた写真、とても綺麗でした！
自分のカメラでうまく撮れなくても、折々で撮影してくださるので安心です。

Cancellation: A mountain higher than Mount Fuji with a sunset and a sky full of stars! 中止：富士山より高い山で夕日と満点の星！

Reviewed by: 天体マニア

The access to the summit was closed due to strong winds, resulting in the cancellation of the tour. Since it was a 2:30 PM tour, I feel like the whole day was wasted. I heard that the road had been closed for 3 to 4 days prior and was also closed from the morning of the day itself, so I wish I had been informed in advance via email or other means. If I had known, I could have chosen other activities.

強風で山頂行きが通行止めになり中止に。
2時半発のツアーなので、一日が無駄になった印象が残る。
前日まで３～４日通行止め、当日も朝から通行止めだったそうで、予めメール等で教えて欲しかった。
そうすれば、他のアクティビティを選択できたのに。

Starry sky 星空

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with my daughter. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy the whole time, and since we were dealing with nature, I had resigned myself to that being half the experience. However, thanks to our guide's persistence, we were rewarded in the last few minutes when the stars spread out between the clouds. It was worth it. Thank you very much. I would like to try going during the dry season next time.

娘と2人で参加しました あいにくの天気で ずっと曇りで 自然相手なので
半分は仕方ないと諦めていましたが ガイドさんが 粘って頂いたお陰で 最後の数10分 雲と雲の間から 星空が広がり 行った甲斐がありました ありがとうございました
今度は 乾季に行ってみたいと思います
