Masashi's Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stars Tour マサシのマウナケア山頂夕日と星のツアー

Reviewed by: さゆ

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、レーザーポインターを使って解説してくれたりして大満足です。
あと、日が沈んでいく時は感動の一言です。

写真が趣味というしんやさんが撮ってくれた物はどれも良く、このツアーを選んでよかったなあと思いました。

心配していた高山病も帰り少し頭痛がしたくらいで大丈夫でした。

I was impressed by the guide!! ガイドさんに感激!!

Reviewed by: rio

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~^−^☆

I want to talk about the stars with others. 星を他人に語りたくなる

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!!!!

Even now, two weeks later, it is burned into my heart and won't leave! 2週間後の今でも心に焼き付いて離れません!

Reviewed by: テンコ

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。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventure

Reviewed by: Angela and Dan

We booked this trip because Dan is very interested in astronomy. As we drove up to the summit we began to understand the magnificence of the view. The sunset was unbelievable and the experience unforgettable. When we came down the mountain to do our stargazing I saw the moon through the telescope as I have never seen it before. The detail of the craters was amazing. It was a beautiful evening and night. Thank you.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We were taken care of during our honeymoon trip.

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?

新婚旅行でお世話になりました。

ハワイ島についても、星についてもガイドの「山ちゃん」は大変物知りで、非常に楽しみながら勉強させてもらいました。さすがは「ネイチャースクール」の名前を付けているだけあります。

3月下旬に参加したので、今度は夏の星空を見にまた参加したいと思います。

マウナケア山頂はとっても寒いですが、ここのツアーの防寒具は周りのツアーと比較しても1番防寒性に優れており、とってもよかったです。つなぎを貸してくれるのはここだけなのかな??

Reviewed by: mumu

This was my second time participating in this tour after seven years. Last time I saw the summer constellations, and this time I was able to see the winter constellations. The stars I viewed through the telescope were very beautiful, and since the stars and scenery are different each time, I think I could repeat it many times without getting bored. The guide, Yamachan, was also interesting, and I have been recommending this tour to my friends and family. I definitely want to participate again!

今回このツアーに参加するのは7年ぶりの2回目でした。
前回は夏の星座、今回は冬の星座が見れました。
望遠鏡を通して見た星もとてもきれいで、毎回見れる星や景色も違うので、何度リピートしても飽きないと思います。
ガイドの山ちゃんの話もおもしろく、友人や家族にもこのツアーを勧めています。
是非また参加したいです!!

I love this trip!

Reviewed by: SFBayArea

This was a wonderful, amazing tour! The sunset view from the summit of Mauna Kea is incomparable. I felt like I was standing on top of the world. The stargazing was also wonderful. I never saw the stars so clearly before. My tour guide was Buck, who gave us a great astronomy beginner's lesson. He also was very professional, and knowledgeable about other aspects such as the culture, history, and environmental ecology of the island. I highly recommend this trip to everyone. Bring gloves and a knitted cap--you will use them. The tour company will provide parkas. Cookies and hot chocolate before stargazing was a nice touch!

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。

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first visit to the Big Island.

Of course, the main purpose was Mauna Kea!!

The cold was even more than I had imagined, but the satisfaction and emotional impact exceeded my expectations.

Such scenery is something you definitely can't see in Japan. I've traveled to various places abroad, but this has truly become one of the places I’m glad I visited.

Although it was a long day, listening to the guide's stories made me feel neither tired nor bored at all. The guides, who feel a deep reverence for Mauna Kea, provided guidance that was nothing short of divine.

It was a shock that felt like a double punch!!

Thank you, I want to go again.

ハワイには何度か来てますが、はじめてハワイ島に足を伸ばしました。

もちろんマウナケアが目的!!

寒さも想像を上回ったのですが、その満足度、心のインパクト度は激しく予想を上回りました。

あんな風景、日本じゃ絶対見れない。というか海外旅行も色々行ってますが、本当に行ってよかったと思える場所のひとつとなりました。

1日長時間ですが、ガイドさんの話を聞いていると、まったく疲れや退屈を感じません。マウナケアを神聖と感じ、ほれ込んでいるガイドさんたちの案内はもはや神技でした。

なんだかダブルパンチをもらったほどのショック!!

Hello,

I returned to Japan with many wonderful memories after watching the setting sun and the star-filled sky at Mauna Kea.

Tomorrow, I'm heading to Los Angeles. I went to Hawaii to refresh my mind. Experiencing the slow-paced Hawaiian time and the warmth of the people helped me relieve my stress, and I had very fulfilling days.

I spent a month on the Big Island, but I really wanted to go to Mauna Kea. I applied to several companies, but was turned down because of my wheelchair. By chance, I called a nature school thinking it was a long shot, and I remember being surprised at how easily they accepted me.

The majestic nature of Mauna Kea was a precious experience and a memory I will never forget. It was an emotional day, touched by the kindness of the Japanese people I was with and Mr. Yamamoto.

Having someone kindly carry me and seeing numerous stars through the telescope for the first time became a lifelong memory for me.

After a year of training in graduate school, I am seriously considering going to Kona.

Thank you so much for everything. I will definitely contact you the next time I go, so please take care of me then.

ハロー

マウナケアでの沈み行く太陽と空いっぱいの星を見る事が出来て、よい思い出いっぱいで日本にかえってきました。

明日、ロスに向かいます。
ハワイには心の洗濯の為に行きました。ゆっくりとながれるハワイアンタイムと人々の暖かさに触れて、ストレスを取り去り、とても充実した日々でした。

1ヶ月ハワイ島にいたのですが、どうしてもマウナケアに行きたくて、数社に申し込んだのですが、車椅子ということで断られ、偶然、手に入れたネイチャースクールにダメでもともとと思い電話しました。余りにも簡単に受け入れてくださって、呆気に取られていたのを覚えています。

マウナケアの雄大な自然は大切な経験で、一生忘れない思い出です。同乗していた日本人の方々と山本さんの優しさに触れ、感激の1日でした。

重い自分を快く担いでくださり、望遠鏡からの数々の星を初めてみた事は自分にとって一生の思い出になりました。

あと1年、大学院での研修後は本気でコナに行く事を考えています。

本当に色々とありがとうございました。
今度、行く時にも必ず連絡しますので宜しくお願い致します。

The sunset and the smiling starry sky I saw at that time are still etched in my memory. I believe it's all thanks to the passionate presentation of the tour by our guide.

Next, I want to participate in the lava tour. Is the starry sky on the Big Island beautiful today as well? I will definitely go again!

先日は最高のマウナケアツアーをありがとうございました。

今日日本に帰国しましたが・・・

あの時見たサンセットと微笑んでいる星空は今でも頭に焼き付いています。それもこれもガイドさんの情熱あふれるツアー演出のおかげと思います。

次は溶岩ツアー参加したいです。今日もハワイ島の星空はキレイですか??もう一度必ず行きますね!!

A lifetime of memories 一生の思い出

Reviewed by: 堀内ッちゃん

I have returned to the humid Japan.
Every day is spent commuting to work on a crowded train, filled with sweat and tears.

The sunset viewed from Mauna Kea, the shadows on the horizon, and the night sky of that day will never be forgotten. It wasn't the lights of buildings or the glow of a late-night vending machine... it was such a wonderful night sky that I could see artificial satellites with the naked eye, illuminated by the moonlight.

Thank you for the best day!!

Thank you!!!!

蒸し暑い日本に帰って来ました。
毎日満員電車で会社に通う、日々です(汗と涙)

マウナケアから見た夕日、地平線の影、あの日の夜空は一生忘れません。ビルの光でもない、深夜の自動販売機の光でもない・・・月明かりに照らされた星空をstar人工衛星を肉眼で見ることが出来るほど、すばらしい夜空でした。

最高の一日をありがとうございました!!

センキュー!!!!

Mahalo from Japan! 日本からマハロ!

Reviewed by: 開祖

I returned to Japan after conquering Mauna Kea for two consecutive days, like a dream.

I'm back to my usual routine, but something feels different; every day is enjoyable no matter what I'm doing.

I believe it's all thanks to the power I received from Mauna Kea and the countless stars.

Above all, meeting you, Nishida-san, has been significant. You have a mysterious aura, and being with you made me feel like "I have to enjoy life, or I'll miss out."

I'm planning to join Nishida's tour again. It's amazing how you're increasing your fan base all the way over here in distant Japan; you're quite the charming rogue!

夢のようなマウナケア2日連続制覇を果たし、日本へ帰国しました。

今まで通りの日常に戻ったけど何かが違う、何をしてても楽しい毎日です。

それもこれもマウナケア&満天の星達からパワーをもらったからだと思います。

なにより西田さん、あなたとの出会いが大きいです。不思議なオーラで、一緒にいたら「人生楽しまなくちゃ損だな~」って感じました。

また西田兄さんのツアーに参加しようと計画中です。こんな遠い日本に、ファンを増殖させて、罪なチョイ悪オヤジですね。

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

Simply Amazing!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Having grown up in Hawaii, I have grown very fond of Mauna Kea and it is definitely my favorite place to be. This trip, though pricey, is well worth the expense. When will you ever see both the North Star and Southern Cross in one place? And when will you ever feel like you can just reach out and touch the stars. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions and concerns. This is by far the best tour I have ever taken on the Hawaiian islands. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique adventure or anyone interested in the stars!

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was worried about the rain down below, but the night sky at the summit was filled with stars. I was amazed to see artificial satellites with the naked eye. However, even though it was midsummer, it was "bone-chilling cold," so gloves and hand warmers are essential. The staff were really nice and enthusiastically explained the night sky. Thank you very much, Jeff.

 下界は雨で心配してましたが、山頂は満点の星空でした。
 人工衛星まで肉眼で確認できる夜空に感動しました。
 但し、真夏とは言え「底冷えする寒さ」なので、手袋・カイロは必需品です。
 とにかくスタッフがいい人で、熱心に星空を解説してくれます。 ジェフさん本当に有難うございました。

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

Mona Kea trip is wild.

Reviewed by: Dale Spady

The drive up the volcano is "trip" in itself. The steep, winding, narrow road with a shear dropoff on the side is a pulse pounder. Be ready for the thin atmosphere at the top. Overall, it was an exciting and very unique experience that I would recommend to all adults.
