I was able to see a beautiful sunset and a starry sky perfectly. キレイな夕日と星空ばっちり見えました

Reviewed by: YUU

It seems that the weather wasn't very good the day before, but on the day I participated, the guide mentioned that we were able to see a beautiful sunset and starry sky for the first time in a while. The scenery was truly stunning. At the summit of Mauna Kea, the wind was very strong, and I felt that the perceived temperature was quite low, but since they lent us warm clothing (with ski pants!), I didn't feel too cold (although my friend who was with me seemed to be quite cold). The guide's stories in the car were also enjoyable, and I made great memories.

前日まではあまりお天気が良くなかったようでしたが、参加した日は久しぶりにきれいな夕日と星空を見ることができたと、ガイドの方がおっしゃっていました。本当にきれいな景色でした。マウナケアの山頂は、とても風が強くて、体感温度がだいぶ低かったように思いますが、防寒着（スキーズボン付き！）を貸していただけたので、それほど寒さも感じませんでした（同行の友人はかなり寒かったようですが）。
車内でのガイドさんのお話も楽しくて、よい思い出ができました。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Wow!

Reviewed by: MTTravelers

This was one tour we will never forget! The views from the top of Mauna Kea are indescribable. You truly feel that you are on top of the world! The other positive parts of the adventure - the tour was well organize with attention to safety, tour guide Geraldo was very knowledgeable, the food was delicious and the others on the tour were a hoot to spend an evening with. If you go, be sure to dress warmly! The coats provided were great, but it was chilly prior to going up. We highly recommend this tour!

I participated at the end of June 2017.
The sunset was very beautiful.
It was cold at the summit.
They lent me warm clothing, but since I'm sensitive to the cold, I brought extra layers to wear underneath.
The sun sets quickly, so it's better to use the restroom early.
The starry sky was visible three days after the new moon.
During a full moon, the light is so strong that the stars are hard to see.
The guide was cheerful and kept the atmosphere lively, so I didn't get bored during the drive.
They also took a lot of photos and provided them for free later on.

２０１７年６月末に参加しました。
夕日がとてもきれいでした。
山頂は寒かったです。
防寒具を貸してくれましたが、寒がりなので他に中に着るものを持参して着てました。
沈むときはあっという間に沈むのでトイレは早めに済ませたほうが良さそうです。
星空は新月の３日後でしたがよく見えました。
満月ですと光が強くて星がよく見えないようです。
ガイドの方が明るくて盛り上げてくれるので移動の車内でも飽きませんでした。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれて後日無料で提供してくれます。

I stepped on snow in Hawaii! ハワイで雪を踏みました！

Reviewed by: にんにん

The guide explained at the meeting point, "We cannot go to the summit due to snow. You can cancel if you wish," but I decided to join as it was also a tour around the island. While observing several whale spouts at a viewing point, we received word that we could go to the summit, so our plans changed suddenly. I never expected to see and step on snow in Hawaii at the summit, where remnants of yesterday's snowfall remained! It was such a strange experience! We watched the sunset from the snowy summit and then descended, stopping for stargazing along the way. Unfortunately, there were clouds, but we managed to find some clear skies. From sea level to the summit at 4,205 meters, where the oxygen level is half that of the plains, the temperature dropped from 30 degrees to -2 degrees. It was a tour that offered a rare experience! The guide's dedicated support and enjoyable commentary made the tour even more fun.

ガイドさんから集合時に「積雪で山頂には行けません。キャンセル可能です」の説明がありましたが、島内ツアーを兼ねて参加しました。クジラが見れるポイントで数匹の潮吹きを観察していたら「山頂に行ける」との連絡があり急遽予定変更。昨日の雪が残る山頂でまさかハワイで雪を見て踏みしめるとは！何か不思議な経験です！雪の残る山頂からサンセットを見て下山し途中星空観測、生憎の雲でしたが晴れ間を見つけて出来ました。海抜0mから酸素が平地の半分になる4,205mの山頂、気温は30度からー2度、めったに体験できないツアーでした！ガイドさんの献身的なサポートと楽しい案内がツアーをより楽しくしてくれました。

Tears! Tears! 涙！涙！

Reviewed by: jeke143

It's been years since I've felt this moved. Our guide, M, carefully taught us about local gourmet food, traffic rules, and manners. The next day, we had a long drive to Hilo, so it was very helpful. M was fun to talk to and very considerate, making the bus ride relaxing. We had lunch at the Onizuka Center, and although I had no expectations, it was unexpectedly delicious (laughs). I had eaten a hearty lunch beforehand, so I wasn't hungry, which was a bit disappointing.

Then, it was time for the hike. I was so sleepy—just incredibly tired. M tried to keep us awake with conversation, but I was still drowsy. Somehow, we made it to the summit. "Is this Earth? Is this Hawaii?" I couldn't find the words. M became a guide because she participated in this tour. She said, "My life changed." While watching the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds with my wife, I cried. Somehow, the worries I had seemed small and insignificant when I saw that sunset. (Though once I return to Japan, I'll probably be back to worrying about little things again.)

After that, we moved down to stargaze. At first, there weren't many stars, and I thought, "Well, this is it." But gradually, more stars appeared, and before I knew it, I was looking at a sky sprinkled with stars, and I cried again. The sunset was amazing, but the starry sky was also heart-stirring. M carefully explained the constellations using a laser pointer. Along the way, the warm tea and biscuits were delicious too. Finally, after we got off the bus, M dashed back to deliver my forgotten sunglasses. I was moved that she took the time to check for lost items. I can't express how much I was touched. The other participants were also very well-mannered, making it a very comfortable experience. Next time, I want to go to Mauna Kea with Masashi.

こんなに、感動したのは何年ぶりだろう。ｶﾞｲﾄﾞの方（Mちゃん）は、地元のｸﾞﾙﾒや交通ﾙｰﾙ、ﾏﾅｰ等を丁寧に教えてくれた。翌日、ﾋﾛまでﾛﾝｸﾞﾄﾞﾗｲﾌﾞだったので参考になった。話が楽しく、思いやりのある方でﾊﾞｽの中もﾘﾗｯｸできた。ｵﾆｽﾞｶｾﾝﾀｰでお弁当を食べたが、全く期待していなかったが、予想外（笑い）に美味しかった。ﾗﾝﾁをしっかり食べてきて、おなかがすいてなかったので残念でした。
そして、いざ、登山。『眠い』とにかく眠い。Mちゃんがいろいろ眠気さましに、お話しするが眠い。
なんとか、山頂につきました。『ここ、地球？』『ここﾊﾜｲ？』言葉にならないです。Mちゃんがｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんに転職したのは、このﾂｱｰに参加したから。『人生かわりました』とのこと。雲海に沈みゆく夕陽を家内と見ながら、泣いてました。なんか、悩んでることなんか、このサンセットおみると、小さく、どうでもよいことののうに思えてきました。（日本に帰りしばらくするとまた、小さいことに悩む日々ですが）そのあと、下に移動して星空観賞。最初は、あまり星がなく、『まあ、こんなもんか』と思っていたら、徐々に星がでてきて、気が付けば、お星さまを振りまいた空を見、また涙。ｻﾝｾｯﾄも最高だったけど、星空も心揺さぶる。ﾚｰｻﾞｰﾎﾟｲﾝﾀｰを使いながら、丁寧に星座の説明をしてくれる。途中で暖かい紅茶とﾋﾞｽｹｯﾄも美味しかった。最後に、ﾊﾞｽを降た後、Mちゃんが猛ダッシュ、で『ｻﾝｸﾞﾗｽ！』と忘れ物と届けてくれた。ちゃんと忘れ物の確認してることに、ここでも感動。どれだけ、感動したんだろう。他の参加者の方も、ﾏﾅｰが良く、とても快適でした。今度は、ﾏｻｼでﾏｳﾅｹｱに行きたいですね。

Unfortunately, the summit was closed due to snow, so we had to give up on the sunset. However, we descended a bit and found a spot without clouds, where we were able to see the most amazing starry sky. This was all thanks to our fantastic guide. He helped us find the location and provided detailed explanations about the Orion constellation, the Andromeda Nebula, and various other constellations using a telescope. I owe a big thanks to JIN OTAKA from your group’s nature school and his great partner. Thank you!

I accidentally forgot to give a tip, so I called your company and arranged to leave it at the hotel front desk for Jin to pick up later, which relieved me. It would have been too regrettable not to do so after such a fun guiding experience. I highly recommend everyone to take advantage of this service!

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: Hero-Taka84

Personally, this was my third time at the summit of Mauna Kea, after visiting 20 years ago and 8 years ago. The experience was similar, including hotel pickup and a break at the Onizuka Visitor Center. However, this time, the guide, Big JIN, was entertaining, making the sunset and stargazing enjoyable. Although it was said to feel like -20 degrees, the rental cold-weather gear provided was perfect. Additionally, there was a unique service for this tour where they later shared photos taken against the backdrop of the sunset at the summit and stunning starry sky photos that are difficult for travelers to capture online. If you're in Hawaii, the Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

個人的には20年前、8年前、そして今回の3度目のマウナケア山頂でした。
ホテルピックアップから途中のオニズカ・ビジターセンターの休憩など内容は一緒でした。ただ今回は日本人（ビッグJINさん）のガイドが面白くて楽しくサンセット・星空観察が出来ました。体感温度ー20度と言われましたがレンタルしてくれる防寒着も完ぺきでした。また多分このツアー独自のサービスでしょうが山頂の夕日バックの写真や旅行者では撮りにくい満天の星空写真を後日ネットで配信するなどのサービスがついていました。
ハワイ島なら絶対外せないマウナケア山頂サンセット＆星空観測。おススメです。

Ultimately, we couldn't reach the summit of the mountain and had to stop at the Onizuka Center. Like others have shared in their experiences, I understand that it's a natural occurrence, but the $15 refund is simply too inadequate. If it had been a bit more, it would have eased my feelings. Additionally, my elderly mother was exhausted from being in the car for such a long time.

If the refund policy doesn't change or if there are no suggestions for leaving midway, I cannot recommend this to others.

There were other tour participants who mentioned they had to make a second attempt after not being able to go up the day before, and they felt like they wasted two days.

The only enjoyable part was listening to Mr. Jin, who guided the tour, share his knowledge in the car. He was very knowledgeable and spoke in detail about flowers, history, and volcanoes.

Aside from that, to be honest, nothing about this experience is worth the price. I just want to inform those who will participate in the future that not being able to go up is a disaster!

I was moved by the wonderful sunset and the sky full of stars. 素晴らしい夕日と空いっぱいの星で感動

Reviewed by: コビトカバ

What a wonderful tour to drive to the summit higher than Mount Fuji and observe the sunset and starry sky! Experienced staff will take you close to the summit of Mauna Kea while helping you acclimatize to the altitude to avoid altitude sickness. You can also see the Subaru Telescope at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Hawaii up close, enjoying the sunset and taking photos in the clear air.

To avoid any issues with astronomical observation, you will descend from the summit within 30 minutes of sunset and stop at a suitable location for stargazing and photography of constellations. The low light pollution allows you to see many stars. This is undoubtedly a unique tour that I highly recommend for the Big Island.

There are regular restroom breaks on the way to the summit, and there are portable toilets at the summit. While some may have reservations about using portable toilets, a little patience is necessary. On the day I went, there was no wind and it wasn't too cold, but at an altitude of over 4200 meters, your body can get cold after a long stay, so I recommend bringing a compact down jacket and a hat.

Since only 200 people can reach the summit in a day, it's a good idea to make your tour reservation early.

富士山より高い山頂へ車で行き夕日と星空観測、なんとステキなツアーでしょう♪
慣れたスタッフが高山病にならないよう高度に順応させながらお客様をマウナケアの山頂近くへ連れて行ってくれます。
そして日本の誇る国立天文台ハワイ観測所すばる望遠鏡も間近に望み、澄んだ空気の中を沈んでゆく太陽を眺め写真撮影。
天文観測の障害とならないよう日没から30分以内に山頂を降り途中の星空観測に適した場所で星座の観測と写真撮影をしてくれます。
チリが少ない環境はとても多くの星を見ることが出来ます。
ハワイ島ならではのツアーであることは間違いなく是非お勧めします。

山頂に行くまでもこまめにトイレタイムが設けられ、山頂には簡易トイレが設置されています。簡易トイレは抵抗のある人もいるかと思いますが、そこはちょっと我慢も必要です。
行った日は風も無くそれほどの冷え込みでは無いとのことでしたが、やはり高度4200ｍ超えると長時間の滞在は体が冷えてきますので、自分でもコンパクトにしまえるダウンや帽子等用意される事をお勧めします。

1日に200人までしか登頂できないとのこと、早めのツアー予約も心掛けると良いかと思います。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Great change-up experience in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: Greg

This trip was a really fun experience as a contrast to the normal beach and ocean explorations that a visit to Hawaii normally includes.
The guide was very informative and the trip was planned well. The van was very comfortable (big Mercedes).
Climbing above the clouds made it feel like we were going to another world. The sunset from the top amongst all the observatory domes was incredibly colorful and the photography was cool with the domes.
The second part when we went down the mountain and set up the telescopes was fun too. The guide had an excellent presentation and mastery of the topics.
I highly recommend-it was out of the ordinary and visually spectacular.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

This Was The Highlight of Our Hawaii Trip

Reviewed by: Sop

Our guides were Arthur and Justin. Both are funny and knowledgeable. This tour surprised us in so many ways. It is crazy that you can go from beach weather to freezing winds in a matter of hours. The parkas definitely help. I would recommend some layers of clothes, jeans, and good shoes. Bring a scarf or beanie. For those who live in the country, you do not realize how fortunate you are to not have light pollution. The stars that we saw were amazing. Your eyes adjust and focus so well on all the bright twinkles because there's no surrounding light. It's hard to explain but you feel like a child who's just seen something new and cool. Light pollution is real. On a good night in the city, I can probably see maybe 10 stars. Here, the volume is overwhelming. The location of Hawaii lets you see a lot more. Not only do you see the stars, but you can see distant galaxies as well our own milky way. Primitive, primal, natural are some other ways to describe experience.

The sunset on Mauna Kea was also a fantastic experience. Arthur and Justin are safe and excellent drivers. You see rental cars driving up the volcano on unpaved roads when they shouldn't. It's better to have the experts take you to the summit.

We attended this tour January 3, 2018. This gave us the rare opportunity to see the wolf moon and all the stars. I never knew how much light the moon provided at night.

I would do this again and recommend it to anybody who visits the Big Island.

It's an experience that you can't easily find elsewhere. 他ではなかなかできない体験です

Reviewed by: AI's family

My daughter, who was previously too young due to age restrictions, was finally able to participate, and we joined the tour together. On the west coast of the Big Island, you can see a wonderful sunset from anywhere, so I thought we might not need to climb the mountain, but the sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was indeed exceptional.

I was worried about car sickness since I heard there are unpaved parts on the road to the summit, but instead of car sickness, I ended up suffering from altitude sickness due to the lack of oxygen. However, our guide quickly provided oxygen from a tank, and we were able to enjoy the sunset and the starry sky without any issues. I was really glad to have joined a tour with a guide.

At the snow-covered summit of Mauna Kea, I was concerned about the cold, but the rental cold-weather gear from Masashi Nature School was as warm as the reviews said. For those who are sensitive to the cold, I recommend bringing something to cover your face, head, and ears, as well as heat-tech innerwear for warmth.

It was great to have explanations during the stargazing as well. Last time I visited, I did not join the summit tour and only did stargazing from the mountainside, but when it comes to viewing the stars, I saw about the same or even more this time (the stargazing after the summit tour had quite a bit of interference from headlights of cars coming down from the summit). So, if the focus is on stargazing, it might not be necessary to have the sunset from the summit, but experiencing a sunset at such a height, higher than Mount Fuji, is something you can't easily find elsewhere.

前回は年齢制限に引っかかっていた娘も参加できる年齢になり、親子で参加しました。ハワイ島西海岸ではどこからでも素晴らしい夕日がみられるので、山の上に登らなくても…と思いましたが、マウナケア山頂からの日の入りはやはり格別でした。
山頂までの道は舗装されていない部分もあるという事で車酔いを心配していましたが、車酔いよりも酸素が少ないために起きる高山病にかかってしまいました。しかし、ガイドさんがすぐに酸素ボンベで酸素補給をしてくださり、事なきを得て日の入り、星空を見ることができました。やはりガイドさんのいるツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
雪の積もるマウナケア山頂、寒さを心配していましたがマサシネーチャーズスクールの貸出用防寒具は口コミ通り暖かかったので、寒がりな方は防寒具で隠せない顔・頭・耳をカバーするものやヒートテックインナーで防寒対策をしておけばよいと思います。
星空ウォッチングも解説していただいて見られたのがよかったです。
前回来た時には山頂ツアーではなく、山の中腹でのスターゲイジングでしたが、星空を見るという事でしたら同じくらいかそれ以上見えた（山頂ツアー後の星空ウォッチングは山頂から降りてくる車が多いのでヘッドライトに邪魔される時間が結構あるため）ので、星空…という事にフォーカスするのであれば山頂日の入りである必要はないのかもしれませんが、富士山以上の高さでの日の入りを見る体験は他ではなかなかできないと思います。

Don't expect too much from the sunset and stargazing tour. 期待し過ぎちゃいけないサンセット&星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: natsurin

I had been looking forward to going to the Big Island of Hawaii for so long, but the sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was not special; it was just beautifully ordinary, really ordinary...

Maybe it's because the sunsets on the Big Island are beautiful no matter where you watch them from...

Perhaps I've experienced too many sunrises and sunsets during my travels, both abroad and domestically...

On the tour's website, it mentioned, "Using a reflecting telescope and a laser pointer, the guide will explain the constellations and stars," and I was really looking forward to seeing the stars and the moon through the reflecting telescope. However, there was no telescope set up at the location for viewing the constellations, and there was no explanation that there wouldn't be a reflecting telescope this time, which was quite disappointing.

In the car, I was seated in a three-person row with an unfamiliar elderly man and his adult daughter. The elderly man took up quite a bit of space, so I was in a half-sitting position the whole time... I didn't say anything to the elderly man about not moving in, so the driver wasn't at fault, but I thought it would be tough if someone with a larger build sat in the same row.

念願のハワイ島に行く前から凄い凄い期待し過ぎてしまっていたので、実際に観たマウナケア山頂からの夕陽はスペシャルでは無く、普通に綺麗だった、本当に普通に…

ハワイ島はどこから夕陽を観ても綺麗過ぎだからでしょうか…

沢山の海外旅行、国内旅行で朝日・夕陽を体験し過ぎてしまったのかもしれない…

ツアーのHPに「反射望遠鏡とレーザーペンを使ってガイドが星座と星の説明」とあり、「反射望遠鏡」で観る星や月を超楽しみにしていたのに星座を観る場所には反射望遠鏡の準備もされていなくて、今回は反射望遠鏡が無いと言う説明もなくて、Wでガックリ度が増しました(涙)

車の中では3人席で知らないお爺さんと成人した娘と私。お爺さんは1人でかなり座席を所有するので私はずっと半ケツ状態でした…
特に奥に詰めないお爺さんに注意もしなかったので担当のドライバーさんには責任はありませんが、かなり体格の良い方が同じ列の席に座ると大変だと思いました。

I participated in this tour as a solo traveler. At first, I considered driving to Mauna Kea by rental car, but since it was my first time on the Big Island, I felt a bit anxious and decided to join the tour instead. The adjustments for altitude, the provision of warm drinks and meals, the rental of cold-weather gear (thick clothing and gloves), and the stargazing were all things I couldn't have done alone, so I truly made wonderful memories by participating. I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold bring their own cold-weather gear. I tend to get hot, but the down jacket and long-sleeve T-shirt I brought just in case were very helpful. The summit of Mauna Kea is colder than I imagined (laughs)! Thank you, Tomo, for your assistance. Thank you very much.

Is luck on your side during the New Year holidays!? 年末年始は運しだい！？

Reviewed by: Matsu

This tour cannot proceed to the summit if the weather turns bad, and you won't be able to see the stars. In other words, you'll end up spending time that has no meaning. In that case, the refund is $15. While nature can be unpredictable, this tour is quite risky. Moreover, it seems that the weather often gets rough during the year-end and New Year period.

Also, when there is moonlight, the stars are not very visible. When I participated, it was just after sunset, around the first quarter moon, which created poor conditions for stargazing. If you expect a sky full of stars, it's best to check whether the moon is out just after sunset.

There are a total of seven companies offering the Mauna Kea summit tour, five of which are Japanese companies, and the remaining two are American companies, so most of the tourists at the summit are either Japanese or from English-speaking countries. Due to the thin air, you may feel quite dizzy, but since most of the journey to the summit is by car, even those who are not confident in their physical strength can participate. Note that the summit can drop below freezing. While there is a rental service for cold-weather gear, you will need to prepare your own as well. Hand warmers may not get very warm due to the thin air.

Children under 12 are not recommended to participate due to the potential risk of accidents caused by oxygen deprivation. However, locals were seen enjoying sledding and skiing with quite small children...

このツアーは天気が悪くなると、山頂まで行くことができません。星空も見えません。つまり、何の意味もない時間を過ごすことになります。その場合の返金は１５ドル。自然はままならないものとはいえ、なかなかリスキーなツアーです。しかも毎年、年末年始は天候が荒れることが多いそうです。

また、月明かりがあると星があまりきれいに見えません。
私が参加したときは上弦の月をこえたあたり、つまり日没直後ちょうど南中する、星空観望には悪条件でした。満天の星空を期待するなら、日没直後に月が出ているか、調べておいたほうがいいでしょう。

マウナケア山頂ツアーは合計７社が催行しておりそのうち５社が日本の会社、残り２社はアメリカの会社ということで、山頂は日本人か英語圏の観光客がほとんど。酸素が薄いため、かなりふらつきますが、山頂まではほぼ車中なので、体力に自信のない人でも参加可能です。なお山頂は、氷点下になります。防寒着の貸出はありますが、自前でも防寒着を用意する必要があります。カイロも酸素が薄いため、あまり熱くなりません。

１２歳以下の子どもは、万が一にでも酸欠による事故が起きた時、障害が残る可能性があるため推奨されないそうです。ローカルは結構小さな子どもを連れて、ソリやスキーを楽しんでいましたが……。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Fantastic experience

Reviewed by: Christine S.

Our original trip was postponed due to snow on the summit of Mauna Kea but we rescheduled and had an unforgettable experience. Our guide Hank was great. As well as his astronomy expertise, he provided lots of information on Hawaiian culture. The views on the way up to the summit were spectacular. Great photographic opportunities of the sunset, views and night sky.
I would thoroughly recommend this trip.

It was a scenery that seemed to change my life! 人生が変わりそうな景色でした！

Reviewed by: maotaro

This trip was solely for the purpose of this tour, and I was moved to be able to see the sunset and the starry sky! Thank you, Matsuzaki, for driving so hard despite the challenges of working with nature; I had a great time! I think it was lucky that we were able to reach the summit. It might be better to apply with that understanding during this season. Even just the drive along the expansive mountainside and the starry sky are worth participating for!

今回はこのツアーだけが目的の旅行でしたので、夕陽と星空を見る事が出来て感動しました！自然が相手のお仕事で大変なのに、一生懸命車を走らせていただきました松崎さん、ありがとうございました楽しかったです！
山頂へ行けたのはluckyだったのだと思います。この時期はそれを理解した上で申し込んだ方が良いかな？広陵とした山腹のドライブ、そして星空だけでも、参加する価値は有ります！

Stargazing tour 星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: ともとも

It was disappointing that we couldn't reach the summit due to bad weather, but thanks to Tomo and Big Jin, it was a very enjoyable tour. I was deeply moved by their dedication in searching for a place where we could see the sunset and the starry sky. The warm outerwear they lent us was also a high-quality jacket.

To be honest, I wondered why Tomo was so determined to take photos of the night sky, but after seeing the wonderful pictures he captured, I understood that it was indeed worth the effort. Big Jin's explanations of the constellations were also excellent!

It became a very good memory. Thank you!

悪天候のため山頂に行けなかったのは残念でしたが、ともさんとビッグじんさんのお陰でとても楽しいツアーでした。
一生懸命夕日と星空を見える場所を探して連れて行ってくださり、そのお心意気に感激しました。貸して頂いた防寒着もとても暖かくて質の良いジャケットでした。
ともさんの執念の星空写真、正直なところどうしてそこまでと思ったのですが、撮って頂いた素晴らしい写真を見て、なるほど、必死で撮って頂くだけの価値があると納得致しました。
ビッグじんさんの星座解説も秀逸でした！！

とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

My best memory in Hawaii Island. ハワイ島で一番の思い出

Reviewed by: みかん

I participated in this tour on my first visit to the Big Island. They took us by car to a mountain over 4,000 meters high, where we enjoyed the sunset and stargazing. The guide was very hospitable and took a lot of photos for us.

Near the summit, there was even some snow, and I couldn't help but think, "Is this really Hawaii?!" It gets particularly cold at night. They provide rental cold-weather gear, gloves, and hats, but I was glad I brought my own hand warmer. I recommend bringing layers of clothing to ensure you're well-prepared for the cold.

初ハワイ島で、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
4000メートル以上の山に車で連れて行っていただき、サンセットと星空観測を満喫できました。
ガイドさんはホスピタリティ高く、写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。

山頂付近は雪もあり、これがハワイか！？と思うほどの寒さです。夜は特に寒くなります。貸し出し用防寒着、手袋、帽子がありますが、ホッカイロを持参して良かったと思いました。脱ぎ着できる服を持参して、寒さ対策を万全にして参加することをおすすめします。

For the first time in my life! 生まれて初めて！

Reviewed by: TH88

The summit was so windy that I couldn't climb it, but they helped me find a spot to see the sunset through the rain clouds, and they didn't give up on showing me the stars either!
I'm really grateful to Macchan!
The journey was so much fun that I couldn't stop laughing!

I truly had a wonderfully satisfying day!
I want to try for a summit revenge next time, so I hope to have your support again then!

山頂は風がすごくて登れなかったけど、雨雲掻き分けてサンセット観れる場所を探してくれたり、星も諦めることなく見せてくれました！！
まっちゃんに感謝！！
道中も笑いが止まらないくらい面白かった！

本当に大満足の1日を過ごせました！
今度は山頂リベンジしたいので、その時はまたよろしくお願いします！

A perfect starry sky and a perfect guide. 満点の星空と満点のガイド

Reviewed by: いのふか

At first, I hesitated to choose this tour because it was a bit expensive, but I made the right decision.

The sunset and the starry sky were incredibly beautiful, and I was able to take photos with my DSLR as well as the guide's camera.

They provided a lot of explanations about the stars, and I ended up falling in love with them.

It's a tour that makes you want to come back to the Big Island of Hawaii.

最初は少し高いのでこのツアーにするか迷いましたが、これに決めて正解でした。

サンセットも星空も最高にキレイに見れたし、しかも自分の一眼レフやガイドさんのカメラでも写真を撮ってくれます。

星の説明もたくさんしてくれて星が好きになりました。

またハワイ島に来たくなる、そんなツアーです。

Amazing! 最高❗

Reviewed by: かつか

The sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing nearby were absolutely amazing. During the stargazing, the guide provided explanations about the stars, which were easy to understand. I was able to see stars that I can't see in Japan. Since the elevation is high, I was worried about altitude sickness, but it was good to have lunch at a lower elevation to acclimatize. Even so, I felt a bit uncomfortable after just a little movement. It gets cold at the summit, so make sure to prepare adequately with warm clothing like a sweatshirt.

マウナケア山頂でのサンセットと近くでの星空観測は最高に良かったです。星空観測では、ガイドさんが星の解説をしてくれて、わかりやすかったです。日本では見れない星も見れました。標高が高いので高山病が心配でしたが、中腹で高度順応をかねてお弁当を食べたのが良かったです。それでも少し動いただけで苦しくなりました。山頂は寒いのでトレーナーなどで防寒対策は万全に

It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: ある人

The weather had been bad for about ten days leading up to the event, but on the day itself, it was clear and the sunset was incredibly beautiful, almost bringing me to tears. I knew that it was a full moon that day, so I wasn't expecting much from the starry sky, but it didn't quite turn out to be a sky full of stars. However, we were treated to a supermoon, which was very beautiful. On the way back, I even got to see a moonbow (a white rainbow), which is said to bring happiness.

Mauna Kea became my best memory from my trip to Hawaii. Our guide, Matsuzaki, was very enjoyable and provided great explanations, and he was very attentive, which made the experience even more exciting and fun.

前日まで10日間ほどお天気が悪かったそうですが、当日は快晴でサンセットが最高に綺麗で、感動で涙が出そうになりました。
星空は当日が満月だということをわかって参加していたので、期待していなかったのでよかったのですが、降るような星空というわけにはいきませんでした。でも代わりにスーパームーンということで、月が非常に綺麗でした。そして帰路、幸せになるという、月虹(白い虹）まで見ることができました。
マウナケア山がハワイ島へ行って一番の思い出になりました。
ガイドの松崎さん、ナチュラルハイ、とのことでとても楽しく説明していただき、そして豆に動いていただき、一層盛り上がり楽しい時間でした。
