Scorpio's tail さそり座のしっぽ

Reviewed by: カサイシュウ

The sunset and starry sky from the mountaintop exceeded my expectations. The scenery was absolutely amazing. Additionally, the guide taught us various tips for taking great photos, allowing us to capture pictures of the sunset as if we were holding it in our hands, as well as images that made it look like we were floating in the Milky Way. The night sky was filled with an incredible number of stars. I was surprised to see that Scorpio really does resemble a scorpion. The guide explained the constellations in detail, which helped me understand them well. I could even clearly see the tail of the scorpion. Thank you very much.

山上のサンセットや星空、そんなに期待していなかったのですが行ってみてよかった。
とにかくすごい景色でした。それにガイドさんがいい写真が撮れるよう色々教えてくださったので、夕日を両手につかんだ写真や天の川に浮かんでいるような写真も撮れました。
こんなにたくさんあったのかというような満天の星空。さそり座は本当にサソリの形をしているのですね。星座についても丁寧に教えていただきよくわかりました。サソリのしっぽまではっきりわかりました。ありがとうございました。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour <Reflecting Telescope> by Masashi Nature School マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー＜反射望遠鏡＞ by マサシネイチャースクール

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The Japanese guide was very easy to understand, with detailed explanations and humor, which was great. The contrast between the sunset and the observatory was beautiful. The sea of clouds was also visible, making for a perfect sunset. The night sky was explained thoroughly, with the names of constellations and stars shared, and we observed Saturn through a telescope. The moon was nearly full and looked great. Fortunately, the volcano's crater was glowing red, and I was moved when they took a commemorative photo with the moon, crater, and stars included. However, I was a bit surprised that this photo was published online via a URL. It seemed like individual consent had not been obtained. This was a slight concern for me. They showed us the moon through the telescope and took pictures with each person's camera. With a good camera, it was possible to capture the night sky, and the guide kindly taught each person how to take photos of the stars. The content was truly excellent, but the reusable plastic cups distributed to each person were scratched and looked like they had been used for decades, making me feel uncomfortable; I couldn't drink anything from them. The cold-weather jackets, pants, hats, and gloves provided for the 4000m high mountain were not cleaned at all, seeming to have been used continuously since they were new. I was a bit surprised by this overly eco-friendly approach. It goes without saying that I immediately took a shower to cleanse myself as soon as I returned to the hotel.

日本語ガイドで非常にわかりやすく、かつ、細やかな説明とユーモアがありとても良かった。サンセットと天文台のコントラストがとてもきれいだった。雲海も見えて最高のサンセットであった。星空は懇切丁寧に星座名や星の名前を教えてくれ、天体望遠鏡で土星を観察、月も満月に近くよく見えた。運良く火山の火口が赤く見えており、記念写真を月、火口、星と入れて撮ってくれたのには感動。でも、この写真がURLで公開されていたのには少々驚いた。各自の同意は得ていなかったように思う。ここだけはちょっと引っかかりました。天体望遠鏡で月を見せてくれて、それを各自のカメラで撮影してくれた。性能の良いカメラでは星空の撮影も可能でガイドさんが親切に一人一人撮影の仕方を教えてくれて星を撮影していた。内容は本当に申し分なかったんですが、各自に配布されたプラスチック製のリユースのコップは何十年も使ってるというような磨りガラスのように擦り傷だらけのコップ、気持ち悪くなりこのコップでは何も飲めませんでした。標高4000mの山での寒さ対策で配布される防寒ジャケット、ズボン、帽子、手袋は何百人の人が使ってもまったくクリーニングしてない、新調してからずっとそのまま使い続けという感じで、このエコすぎる使い方には少々驚いた。ホテルに帰るなりすぐにシャワーで身体を清めたのは言うまでもない。

Reviewed by: ぽわん

On the day of the event, we were blessed with beautiful weather, a blue sky, a sunset, and a sea of clouds... it was a continuous display of stunning scenery. The landscape illuminated by the supermoon was magical. The views of the moon's surface and Saturn through the telescope were perfect! Lying on the ground without any wind to watch the starry sky and shooting stars was pure bliss. However, the only downside was that the moon was too bright, making it hard to see the stars!! I couldn't see the Milky Way (tears). My dream of seeing the Milky Way and a star-filled night sky will have to wait until next time. Thank you for a wonderful time.

当日は天候に恵まれ、青空と夕日と雲海と・・・・美しい景色の連続でした。そしてスーパームーンに照らし出される幻想的な風景。望遠鏡の月面や土星もパーフェクト！　風もなく地面に寝転がって見る星空や流れ星は至福の時間そのもの。が、ただ一つの誤算は、月が明るすぎて星が少ない！！　天の川が見えなかった（涙）　憧れの天の川や星だらけの夜空は、次回まで持ち越しです。素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

That's unfortunate. 残念です

Reviewed by: カズくん

I have no complaints about the tour itself, but due to the weather, I couldn't see anything at all. Moreover, it seems that the sunset and starry sky were clearly visible the day before and the day after (today), so it was the worst timing possible.

I was told that it’s rare not to see anything during this season, so I never expected something like this to happen.

The tour guides worked hard, and I appreciate that, but since I didn’t see anything, I can’t really evaluate it fairly. I deeply regret that I couldn’t fulfill my main purpose for this trip to Hawaii, which was stargazing.

It feels unbelievable that such rare weather occurred, and that it happened to be on a day when I couldn’t see anything after months of waiting.

The chances of a comeback are low, but I really, really want to see a sky full of stars. Thank you.

ツアー自体になんの不満もないのですが、天候のせいで全く何も見れませんでした。
しかも前の日と次の日（今日）はしっかりと夕日と星空が見えているようなので、最悪なタイミングだったようです。

この時期にはほとんど見れない事はないとのことだったので、まさかこんな事になるとは思ってもみませんでした。

ツアーの方々はいろいろ頑張ってくれたのでその点は満足しております、ただ、何も見ていないので、評価しようがなくて普通にしています。今回の渡ハの1番の目的だった星空観測が全くできなかった事が悔やまれて仕方ないです。

運が悪かったと言うにはあまりにも稀な天候とここ何ヶ月でピンポイントでその日が見れないという事態が未だに信じれない気持ちです。

リベンジできる可能性は低いですが是非、是非、満天の星空が見てみたいものです。
ありがとうございました。

I participated alone, but the guide, Mr. Konno, took great care of me, so I was able to have a wonderful time. The sunset was worth the money I paid to see it. The starry sky was also very beautiful, and I was able to see artificial satellites and shooting stars, along with explanations about the stars, making it a lovely day.
It's truly amazing that we can drive to an altitude of over 4,000 meters.

At first, I was worried about whether it would be okay for older people to participate in stargazing at an altitude of 4,200 meters. However, thanks to the thoughtful explanations and guidance from our guide, Mr. Konno, being able to observe such a wonderful starry sky became a lifelong memory. If you are traveling to the Big Island, I highly recommend joining the tour at "Masashi Nature School." Thank you very much, Mr. Konno! I hope to see you again, so please don't forget "Noda"...

初めは、４２００ｍの高山での星空観測に年寄りが参加しても大丈夫かとの不安がありました。しかし、ガイドの今野さんの気配りのある説明や指導で「あのような素晴らしい星空を観測できたこと」は、一生の思い出となりました。もしこれからハワイ島へご旅行の方は、是非とも「マサシネーチャースクール」のツアーに参加して下さいね。今野さん本当に有難うございました！またお会いしたいと思っていますので「野田」をお忘れなく・・・

I'm so glad I was able to participate in the long-awaited tour to the summit of Mauna Kea at 4,200 meters!

I was worried about the cold, but this tour provides warm clothing, hats, and gloves, so there were no problems at all!

The air is thin at the summit, which can be a bit uncomfortable and cold, but the breathtaking views make you forget all that! The stunning sunset will be etched in your memory!

After sunset, you can see an amazing starry sky. I saw the Milky Way and the Southern Cross so clearly for the first time!

The guide also provides detailed explanations about the stars, making it so enjoyable that you lose track of time.

With this tour, you can download photos taken by the guide from the website at any time. You can also view them, so you can share them with your friends anytime. I think it's a very generous service!

The guide was wonderful too! I definitely recommend participating in this tour! I don't think you'll regret it!

良い仕事 good job

Reviewed by: yasuo

When the time for the pickup arrived, an American got out of the car. Before saying "HELLO," he spoke fluent Japanese, saying, "Your husband is in the passenger seat." That's right, Stefan is a Samurai Blue born in Japan.

The day before, the name of the hotel was different from the reservation, which was a yellow card. I informed them about my leg issues. "I'll let the driver know," came the cheerful response. America is friendly to people with disabilities. Compared to that, Japan is a bit disappointing.

After finishing the pickups at each hotel, we headed to the Onizuka Visitor Center. It took about two hours, but with Stefan's lively chatter, we arrived in no time. We received drinks, miso soup, and a bento box. The person in charge of distribution was Matsuzaki-san, who spoke in a strange Osaka dialect. I finished my meal while glancing at the bento boxes from other tours. It was delicious.

After that, we geared up completely with ski pants, warm clothing, hats, and gloves to head to the summit. By the way, only Nature School lends out ski pants.

We switched from 2WD to 4WD and headed onto Saddle Road. The natural massage made my legs feel lighter, maybe? We stopped along the way for photos.

Finally, the long-awaited Subaru Telescope came into view. Excited, I went outside. It was cold. We took commemorative photos with the Subaru Telescope in the background. Stefan. (I wish he had told me my hat was a bit askew.) (Why is it that the Matsuzaki team is holding a banner and taking commemorative photos?)

The sky changed moment by moment, creating a romantic sunset. It quickly became pitch dark after sunset. We decided to descend within 30 minutes.

We did some stargazing around 3,900 meters. Familiar constellations like the Big Dipper, Polaris, and Scorpius were visible. There were so many stars that I got confused. I also saw the Southern Cross. I was disappointed in my own knowledge, thinking it could only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. I saw Saturn's rings through a telescope. A cup of tea for a break.

Back to the Onizuka Visitor Center. Bathroom break. You must not sleep in the car on the round trip to the summit. If you sleep, you'll get altitude sickness.

On the way back to the hotel, I could have slept. But I couldn't because Stefan's Kamakura stories were so interesting. We arrived at the hotel after 11 PM.

It was long, but it was a valuable experience. (If I were younger, I would have jumped at the summit.)

Good job, Stefan. Go Samurai Blue in the World Cup! I'll cheer together with you.

当日ピックアップの時刻になり、車から降りてきたのはアメリカ人。「HELLO」と言う前に「旦那さんは助手席に」ペラペラな日本語。そうステファンは、日本生まれのサムライブルー。
　前日、ステイホテル名が予約と違っていて、イエローカード。足が悪いことを伝える。「担当ドライバーに伝えておきます。」と明るい声。アメリカは障害者に優しい。それと比べると日本はトホホ。
　各ホテルのピックアップを終了し、向かうは、オニズカ・ビジターセンター。２時間位かかったが、ステファンの軽快なおしゃべりで、あっと言う間に到着。飲み物と味噌汁と弁当をもらう。配布責任者は、妙な大阪弁のマツザキさん。他のツアーの弁当を横目で見ながら完食。美味しかった。
　その後、スキーパンツ、防寒着、帽子、手袋の完全装備で山頂へ。因みに、スキーパンツまで貸してくれるのは、ネイチャースクールさんだけとの事。
　２駆から４駆に切り替えサドルロードへ。自然のマッサージで、足が軽くなったかな？
途中で写真撮影。
　やっと待望のスバル天文台が見えてきた。心弾ませ外へ。寒い。スバル天文台をバックに
記念撮影。ステファン。（ちょっと帽子がずれていると言ってくれれば良かったのに）（何故だ。マツザキチームは横断幕を持って、記念写真を撮っているのに）
刻々と大空が変化し、ロマンチックなサンセット。日没後は直ぐ真っ暗に。３０分以内に下山が決まり事。
　３９００ｍ付近で天体観測。北斗七星、北極星、さそり座等の日本でおなじみの星座。見えすぎてわからなくなった。南十字星も見た。南半球でしか見えないと思っていた自分の知識のなさにがっかり。土星のリングは天体望遠鏡で。紅茶で一服。
　オニズカ・ビジターセンターへ。トイレ休憩。山頂までの往復の車中で、寝てはいけません。寝ると高山病になります。
　ホテルへの帰りは寝れます。でも寝れませんでした。ステファンの鎌倉物語が面白くて。１１時過ぎにホテル到着。
　長かったけど貴重な体験だった。（若かったら山頂で、跳んでいただろう。）
　GOOD JOB ステファン。W杯　サムライブルー　頑張れ。一緒に応援します。

It was beautiful! 美しかった！

Reviewed by: よりさん

One of the reasons we decided on our honeymoon in Hawaii was to see the stars at Mauna Kea. Since it was still early in the season and the weather was bad, I was really worried about whether we would be able to see anything.

On the way, while we were having our dinner bento, the sky was covered with clouds, and I was preparing myself for disappointment. However, although we couldn't see the starry sky at the summit, we persevered at a parking lot a bit lower down and were able to see beautiful stars and the red glow of volcanic flames reflected in the clouds.

I think this was possible because this tour provided warm jackets to borrow. Compared to other tours, the jackets were really thick and warm. The sunset we saw at the summit was also incredibly beautiful.

They took a lot of photos for us, and the fact that we could download them from the internet as much as we wanted was a delightful service. If you're going to the Big Island and want to book a stargazing tour, I highly recommend Mauna Kea Nature School.

ハワイの新婚旅行を決めた理由の一つがマウナケアで星をみる、ということでした。時期的にシーズンにはまだ早く、また天気も悪かったのでちゃんと見えるかとっても不安でした。
途中夕食のお弁当を食べる所でも空は雲に覆われており、だめかもっと覚悟していましたが、山頂では星空は見えなかったけど、ちょっと降りた駐車場でねばってくれて、きれいに星や火山の炎が雲にうつった赤い明かりなども見ることができました。
これも、暖かい上着を貸してくれるこのツアーだからだと思います。
ほかのツアーの方と比べてももっこもこの上下の上着でした。
山頂でみた夕焼けも最高にきれいでした。

写真もいっぱいとってくれて、好きなだけネットからダウンロードできるのも嬉しいサービスです。
ハワイ島にいって星空ツアーを申し込むなら、マサシネイチャースクールをおすすめしたいです。

The magnificence of nature. 大自然の素晴らしさ

Reviewed by: 福田　浩

The day before, I was able to swim with dolphins, and on this day, I headed towards the mountain. Along the way, I felt uneasy about the weather due to rain and fog, but when the guide showed us real-time images of the summit area, it was clear, so I decided to trust that and continue. After two bathroom breaks, by the time we arrived at the Onizuka Center, the sun was beginning to set. Since we took a sufficient break here, I was able to avoid headaches from altitude sickness. Choosing a tour with a longer acclimatization time was the right decision. The bento lunch was also very delicious, and I appreciated the eco-friendly aspect of not using disposable containers or chopsticks.

From Onizuka, we went up a dirt road for a while, took commemorative photos in front of the Subaru Telescope, and then continued to the summit to watch the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds. After sunset, we descended a bit (to 3900m) for stargazing. Unfortunately, the moon was a bit bright as it was just past the first quarter, but I was still able to see an impressive number of stars for the first time. We even had fun taking photos of ourselves jumping as if we were invisible, not just observing.

Since our accommodation was at the southern end of the Kona area, the pickup was first and the drop-off was last, making it a long two-hour drive, but I enjoyed it so much that I lost track of time.

前日にイルカと泳ぐことができ、この日は山へ向かいました。途中、雨や霧で天候に不安を感じましたが、ガイドさんが山頂付近のリアルタイム画像を見せてくれるとよく晴れていたので、それを信じて向かいました。途中、2度のトイレ休憩の後、オニヅカセンターに着いた頃には日が傾き始め、ここで十分な休憩をとったため、いわゆる高山病による頭痛を起こさずに済みました。馴らし時間が長めのツアーを選んで正解でした。またお弁当もとても美味しく、しかも使い捨て容器、箸でなかったところにエコに配慮していることを感じました。
さてオニヅカからは暫くダートを上がり、すばる望遠鏡前で記念撮影、さらに山頂へと上がり雲海に沈む夕日を眺めました。日没後は少し降りて(3900m地点)で星空観察。あいにく半月を少し過ぎたくらいの月でしたのですこし明るかったのですが、それでも初めて見るくらいの数の星を見ることができました。ジャンプして透明人間写真を撮ってみたり、単なる観察だけでない楽しみもありましたね。
宿泊先がKona地区の南の端だったこともあり、迎えは最初、送りは最後でしたので、片道2時間のロングドライブでしたが、時間が経つのを忘れるくらい楽しめました。

I can't breathe~ い、息が～

Reviewed by: TK3

My first visit to the summit of Mauna Kea was surprisingly challenging due to the thin air, which made it a bit hard to breathe (though I think this varies from person to person). Although the participants this time didn't use it, I heard that the guide is prepared with oxygen supplies, so there’s no need to worry.

I was very satisfied with the sunset view. For stargazing, the half-moon was directly overhead, which made it a bit difficult to see some stars, but the guide's thorough and entertaining explanations were very informative. On that day, it was unusually warm for Mauna Kea, with no wind, so I was able to enjoy the tour without too much difficulty.

Next time, I would like to participate in a sunrise and stargazing tour as well.

　初めてのマウナケア山頂は、思いのほか空気が薄く少し息苦しく感じました（個人差は有ると思います）。今回の参加の方々は使いませんでしたが、ガイドさんは酸素吸入の準備もしているそうですから心配ないでしょう。
　夕日はばっちり見ることが出来て大満足でした。星空観測は半月が真上にあり、星が見えにくい所があって少し残念でしたが、ガイドさんの丁寧で面白い説明がありとてもためになりました。当日はマウナケアにしては珍しいくらい暖かで風もないということで、あまりきつい思いもせずにツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。
　今度は、日の出＆星空観測のツアーも参加してみたいと思います。

I finally got to visit the place closest to the sky in Hawaii, which I had always wanted to go to. At 4,200 meters, higher than Mount Fuji, where there is still some snow, I witnessed the sunset... Watching the clouds change from orange to a fiery crimson, seeing the sun set and the colors shift from deep blue to black, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. After that, I descended a bit for stargazing, and Mr. Konno's explanations of the stars and constellations were also wonderful!! The stars felt alive... I'm really glad I participated.

ハワイで一番空に近い場所、いつか行きたいと思っていたのが叶いました。4200mという富士山より高い所で、まだ雪も残っている所で、サンセットを見届ける・・・一刻，一刻雲がオレンジ色から燃えるような朱色にを変えて行くのを見、太陽が沈み、藍色から黒へと変わるのを見ていると自然の素晴らしさに圧倒される。その後、少し降りた所で星空観察、コンノさんの星、星座の説明がこれまた素晴らしい！！星が生きているよう・・・参加して本当に良かったです。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Stellar!

Reviewed by: Ultrasonics21

It was a very educational tour with a breathtaking view. I just expected astronomy but the tour guide knew a great deal about volcanos, geology and island plant and animal life as well. The guide was awesome and I love taking tours with someone as trained and passionate about his work as this guy was. The food was so-so but it was hot and ready. The bus was cramped but it got us there and had big windows for great viewing. Once at the top, the observatories were incredible to look at as they opened up for evening viewing. The view of the sunset was also breathtaking, and not just from the lack of oxygen on top of the mountain. Once we headed back down for stargazing, our guides did a great job of pointing out astronomy as we used there 11 inch telescopes. Very great tour and highly recommended!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Manua Kea Summit and Stargazing

Reviewed by: Neil Wright

As a family with teenagers this trip catered to our needs. Our trip up the mountain was very good and our stop at the visitors centre for our meal gave us a chance to acclimatize before moving onto the summit. We made it to the summit and saw a wonderful sunset before moving onto some stargazing. Our artic jackets were more than handy and we arrived back in Kona by 11pm.

Breathtaking view! 絶景！

Reviewed by: さらさら

Mauna Kea is taller than Mount Fuji. Before departing, I was worried about whether I would be able to see the summit clearly since there were thick clouds covering it when I looked from the hotel. During the journey, our guide, Stephan (who speaks fluent Japanese, surprisingly for his appearance), made the trip enjoyable, and we quickly arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center for a break. The bento and miso soup, which were my first taste of Japanese food in a while, were delicious and comforting. After acclimating my body, we headed to the summit. The gravel road was incredible, with no guardrails! As we ascended, I experienced altitude sickness for the first time in my life by the time we reached the summit. I thought I wouldn't be able to enjoy the tour, but when I saw the sunset sinking into the clouds, I was so moved that I forgot about the altitude sickness! I've never seen such a beautiful sunset. Furthermore, the starry sky afterward felt just like a planetarium. Being surrounded by stars in over 180 degrees was breathtaking. I believe this is one of the must-see views when visiting the Big Island. Also, the guides from Masashi Nature School are all unique and fun, so I highly recommend them!

富士山より高いマウナケア。出発前ホテルから見たら山頂に厚い雲がかかっていたので綺麗に見えるか不安でした。道中、ガイドのステファンさん(見た目からは想像付かない程日本語ペラペラ)が色々な楽しいをしてくれたので休憩所のオニヅカビジターセンターまであっという間に付きました。ここで久しぶりの日本食だったお弁当と味噌汁が美味しく、体に染み渡りました。体を慣らした所でいざ山頂へ。ガードレールもないすごい砂利道！どんどん標高も上がっていくので山頂に着く頃には人生初の高山病に・・これではせっかくのツアーも楽しめないかと思いましたが、いざ雲に沈んでいく夕日を見たら高山病を忘れるくらい感動しました！こんな綺麗な夕日は見た事がありません。更に、その後の星空はプラネタリウムそのままという感じでした。180度以上を星に囲まれているのでそれ以上かもしれません。ハワイ島に来たら絶対に外せない絶景のひとつだと思います。そしてマサシネイチャースクールのガイドさんは皆さん個性があって楽しいのでお勧めです♪

That's unfortunate (>_<) 残念(>_<)

Reviewed by: ケロリン

I was looking forward to participating as it was recommended by those around me! However, unfortunately, due to the snow, I was unable to see both the sunset and the starry sky… The guide mentioned that it’s rare not to see either, and they searched for a spot where we could see the stars until the very last moment, showing a determination not to give up! However, since I was really looking forward to it, it was very disappointing and shocking that I couldn’t see either after spending both time and money (>_<).

I think it would help change the mood a bit if, in such cases, you could provide photos of the sunset and starry sky as a gift♪ The photos are really well taken☆ Please consider this for the future! If there’s another opportunity, I would definitely like to try again!

周りに薦められて楽しみに参加しました！
しかし、残念ながら雪の影響で夕日も星空も両方見ることが出来ませんでした…
ガイドの方も両方見れない事は珍しいと言っていて、場所を移動し星が見れる場所をギリギリまで探してくれて、最後まで諦めない姿勢が伺えました！
しかし楽しみにしていただけにお金と時間がかかり両方見れなかったのはとても残念でショックでした(>_<)
もしこの様な場合の時には夕日と星空の写真等をプレゼントしていただければ気持ちも少し変わるのではと思います♪とても上手に写真が撮れてるので☆
今後の為にも参考にして見てください！
また機会があれば、ぜひもう一度挑戦して見たいと思います！

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely satisfied! 大・大・大満足！

Reviewed by: 三浦一郎

I came to Hawaii Island specifically to see the starry sky from 4,000 meters, so it’s not an exaggeration to say that. It was rainy from the morning. There was snow at the summit, and I heard that it was closed the day before. Other tour groups were quickly giving up and had a mood of descending, but only Nature School, especially guide Matsuzaki, kept saying, "Let’s hang in there! It will surely change!" He encouraged participants who were really in a giving-up mode and made us forget the time with his fun, rapid-fire talk. Then, to our surprise, a cloudless new moon starry sky spread out before us. It was a private star-gazing event just for Nature School. If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely want to request this tour without hesitation. I thought the long tour might bore the kids, but the enjoyable conversation made the time fly by, and before we knew it, it was time to disperse. Also, I think the warm clothing provided was warmer compared to other companies. Matsuzaki, it was really great! Thank you!

４０００mからの星空が見たくてハワイ島に来たといっても過言ではない状態で、朝から雨模様。
頂上付近は雪が積もって、前日はクローズになっていたとのこと。
他社のツアーさんは早々にあきらめ下山ムードがさまよっていましたが、ネイチャースクールだけは、特にガイドの松崎さんが、とにかく粘りましょう！きっと変わってきますよ！と、ほんとにあきらめモードの参加者を励ましてくれ、楽しいマシンガントークで時間のたつのも忘れさせてくれました. そうしたら、なんと雲一つない新月の星空が広がってくるではないですか。ネイチャースクールだけの貸し切り星空見学会でした。
もしまた来ることが出来たら、迷わずこちらでお願いしたいと思います。
長いツアーで子供も飽きるかなと思っていましたが、終始楽しい会話であっという間に解散時間でした。
それと、防寒具も他社さんに比べて暖かいと思います。
まっちゃん、ほんとによかったです！　ありがとう！

Evolution! 進化！

Reviewed by: naonao

This year's annual family trip to Hawaii was our third visit to the Big Island. We invited our friends, a couple who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, so we wanted to make it a memorable experience! We booked Masashi's tour again, as we always do for Mauna Kea. This being our third time using his services, I was amazed at how much it has evolved each time. About five years ago, the tour provided a disposable packed lunch, but this time we received a plastic lunch box with plastic chopsticks like those found in a cafeteria. I was impressed by the environmentally friendly evolution. The warm miso soup and hot chocolate were also gentle on the body. Of course, our friends were thrilled and exclaimed that they would definitely come back again!

毎年恒例のハワイ家族旅行。今回は３回目のハワイ島です。今年はお友達ご夫婦も誘っての旅行でした。お友達は初ハワイなので、素晴らしい感動を！と今回もマサシのツアーを申し込みました。マウナケアは毎回マサシのツアーを利用しています。今回３回目の利用にあたり、毎回の進化ぶりに驚きました。５年位前のツアーで出されたお弁当は、容器使い捨てのパック弁当。今回はプラスチックのお弁当箱に、食堂にあるようなプラスチックのお箸。環境に配慮した進化ぶりにも感動しました。温かいみそ汁やアツアツのホットチョコレートも体に優しい。もちろん、お友達ご夫婦も大感動で、絶対にまた来る！！と、大興奮でした。

Hawaii Island is the best! ハワイ島最高！

Reviewed by: osaka ４人家族

A 5-night, 7-day tour of the Big Island in late March. This was the tour I was most looking forward to on my first trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, but the starry sky was amazing. Above all, the guides, a Japanese person and an American (?), were very kind and wonderful people. They were among the friendliest I've encountered in past overseas tours, and they even provided oxygen for my son when he felt a bit unwell, showing concern until the very end. It truly became a great memory. I definitely want to see the sunset next time. Until we meet again on the Big Island!

３月下旬５泊７日のハワイ島ツアー。初ハワイで一番期待していたツアーです。
サンセットは残念ながら見えなかったですが、星空は最高。それと何よりガイドさん
日本人とアメリカ人（？）のお二人でとても親切で良い人でした。過去の海外ＯＰツアー
の中でも屈指のフレンドリーで且つ、少し気分が悪くなった息子に酸素吸入と、最後まで
心配をしていただき、本当に良い思い出になりました。
今後は是非夕日も観たい。またいつの日かハワイ島に！

On a wonderful anniversary... ステキな記念日に…

Reviewed by: misa

Despite the clear blue sky with not a cloud in sight, I was a bit disappointed to hear that the gate to the summit was closed. However, when the gate finally opened just before sunset, my spirits were already lifted. As we welcomed the sunset, I was even more moved by the breathtaking scenery! And then… I lost track of time under the starry sky filled with shooting stars, despite the strong winds and bitter cold. The participants shared constellations with us, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" for my husband, who would be celebrating his birthday two days later, creating unforgettable memories for us in our 60s. The tour was incredibly satisfying thanks to the staff's efforts in explaining the scenery on the way to the summit, stopping at the lava flow for photos, providing warm bento boxes, and bringing in telescopes for observing Jupiter. The service was exceptional! I also appreciated the ability to download the photos taken by the staff later. Thank you, Konno-san!

雲ひとつない快晴なのに山頂行きのゲートがクローズとのこと。少しがっかりした分、ゲートが日没ギリギリに開いた時には既に気分が高揚です。サンセットを迎えて、その光景にさらに感動！そして…降るような星空と流れ星に、強風と酷寒にもかかわらず時を忘れてしまいました。参加者の星座を教えていただいたり、二日後に誕生を迎える夫のために皆さんで「ハッピー・バースデー」を歌ってくださったりと、６０代の私たちに、忘れがたい思い出が増えました。山頂に向かう途中の風景の説明や溶岩流での下車、写真撮影、温かいお弁当、天体望遠鏡を持ち込んでの木星観察…とスタッフが全力で頑張って「おもてなし」をしてくださった事で大満足のツァーとなりました。スタッフが撮ってくれた写真を後日にダウンロード出来るのも嬉しいサービスです。今野さんありがとう！

A special day スペシャルな一日

Reviewed by: yoshinao

We used this service for our honeymoon. On the day of our visit, the gates were closed due to strong winds, so we watched the sunset from a hill near the Onizuka Center. After that, we moved to a different location for stargazing. Since it was a new moon, the night sky was filled with countless stars, which was truly moving. Additionally, they took shots that I couldn't capture myself, and the fact that we could download them after the tour was also appealing.

Most importantly, thanks to our guide, Macchan, who kept the atmosphere lively with fun talks, we were able to forget the negative aspect of not being able to reach the summit and had a wonderful time. The cute hats they provided are also a lovely memory. Next time I visit the Big Island, I will definitely use Nature School again.

ハネムーンで利用させていただきました。
当日は強風のためゲートが閉まっており、オニヅカセンター近くの丘でサンセットを見ました。その後場所を移動し、星空観測。その日は新月ということもあり、たくさんの星で夜空が埋め尽くされ、とても感激しました。また、自分では撮れないショットを撮ってくれ、ツアー後ダウンロードできるところも魅力的でした。
なにより、楽しいトークで盛り上げてくれたガイドのまっちゃんのおかげで、山頂まで行けないというマイナス条件を打消し、忘れさせてくれるほど、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。用意してくれた可愛い帽子もいい思い出です(^^)(^^)♪
次回ハワイ島に行くときも是非ネイチャースクールを利用させていただきます。

I couldn't see the starry sky. 星空見れず

Reviewed by: もやし

While driving, they explained about the Big Island of Hawaii. Since it's difficult to get around without a car when traveling individually, I appreciated their attention to detail, like stopping at a supermarket and providing information about the time until the next restroom break.

For dinner, we had a bento in the cold, but they also prepared warm miso soup and drinks. I think it's a good idea to have a scarf, fleece, or a light down jacket with you.

Regarding the tour title, unfortunately, it was cloudy, and we only saw a sea of clouds, so we couldn't enjoy the sunset or the starry sky, which I was most looking forward to.

運転しながらもハワイ島について説明してくれます。
個人で行くと車がないと回りづらい中、スーパーに寄ってくれたり次のトイレ休憩までの時間を案内してくれたりと細かいところに気遣いを感じます。
夕食は寒い中でのお弁当ですが、温かいみそ汁やドリンクも用意してくれます。
マフラーやフリースか軽めのダウンはあったほうがいいと思います。

ツアーのタイトルについてですが、
残念ながら曇りが続き雲海ばかりでサンセットと一番楽しみにしていた星空が見れませんでした。
