I was a bit worried about the 6:40 AM pickup, but I woke up well in the morning, basked in the sunlight, and was able to participate with a refreshing feeling. The pickup location was easy to find, and despite being a small group tour, we were lucky to have just our family. The guide was Japanese, which made it easy to follow along with confidence. It was unfortunate that we couldn't encounter the pod of dolphins that had come close the day before, but snorkeling in the clear sea was a lot of fun.
朝6:40のピックアップでちょっと心配でしたが、朝の目覚めも良く太陽のひかりを浴び、すがすがしい気持ちで参加することができました。
ピックアップ場所もわかりやすく、少人数のツアーにもかかわらず、自分たちの家族だけという運の良さ。ガイドも日本人で安心してついていくことができました。
前日はイルカの群れが近くまで来たそうですが、あいにく遭遇できなかったことは残念でしたが、澄んだ海の中でのシュノーケリング楽しかったです。

The sunset from the summit was as beautiful as I had hoped. Thanks to the guide's advice, I was able to sit in a prime spot and enjoy the sunset comfortably and leisurely. After that, we moved to a different location for stargazing, which turned out to be another wonderful experience. Through the reflecting telescope, I was able to see Saturn. I was thrilled to see satellites and shooting stars with my own eyes, and I never expected to see the Milky Way so clearly. I also got to see the flames from the Kilauea crater. There were explanations about the constellations, which made it even more enjoyable. Fortunately, I was able to take many interesting photos, making for great memories. I believe this was an experience unique to participating in the tour.
山頂サンセットは期待通りの美しさでした。
ガイドさんのアドバイスで、特等席に座って楽にゆっくりと夕日鑑賞することが出来ました。
その後、場所を移動しての星空観測。これが、また素晴らしい体験となりました。
反射望遠鏡では土星を見せてもらいました。衛星や流れ星は肉眼で見ることが出来るし、天の川もあんなによく見えるものだとは思っていなかったので、うれしかったです。キラウエアの火口の炎も見られました。星座のことなども解説があったので、より楽しめたと思います。
ありがたいことに面白い写真もたくさん撮っていただき良い記念になりました。ツアーに参加したからこその体験が出来たと思います。

My reason for coming to the Big Island was that I learned about this tour from the Dolphin University I attended on Oahu. This time, I finally got to participate, and I had high expectations.
The manta rays were truly enormous, coming so close with their mouths wide open that I thought they might bump into me. However, it was fascinating how they would spin around without hitting me.
It was an exhilarating experience and a lot of fun. I believe it was a rare opportunity to get so close to so many mantas. The boat ride to and from the point was thrilling as it went at high speed, which added to the enjoyment.
ハワイ島へ来るきっかけは、以前オアフで参加したイルカ大学でこのツアーを知ったことでした。この度、念願かない大いに期待して参加しました。
マンタは本当に大きくて、ぶつかるのではないかと思うほどすぐ近くまで大きな口を開けて近づいてきます。しかし、こちらには当たらずにくるりと回転するのが不思議でした。
大迫力で楽しかったです。たくさんのマンタにこんな接近できるなんて貴重な体験だったと思います。
ポイントへの往復のボートも猛スピードでスリルがあり楽しめました。

The stargazing with guides Ishikawa and Big Jin was excellent, with clear and enjoyable explanations. The miso soup with the bento at the Onizuka Center was incredibly delicious, and I apologize that my child asked for seconds twice (^_^;). My younger child was starting to experience a bit of altitude sickness, but since we were taught how to handle it, we were able to see the beautiful sunset, which was truly moving. Thank you very much.

I think it's a simple and good plan if your goal is to go snorkeling in a beautiful place. However, for those who only speak Japanese, it might be a bit challenging... They provide explanations about the lava caves along the way, but only in English.

This was my first experience with my family. Personally, it was my third time, but I’ll briefly outline the pros and cons.
First, the pros:
1. The marina is very close to the points, so the total travel time is short.
2. The boat is large and comfortable.
3. There was a child who gets seasick on board, but since the points are close, I think it was relatively easy for them.
Now, the cons:
1. The explanations are only in English, but I don’t think that will be a problem.
2. The journey is short, so you can’t enjoy the scenery of Kona town.
Depending on the timing, I think the LED lights were strong, and we had a relatively good number of sightings.
I plan to come back here next time as well.
家族連れでは初体験でした。
個人的には3度目でしたが簡単に長所と短所を書いておきます。
まず長所
1、マリーナからポイントまでが非常に近くに全行程の所要時間が短くて済む。
2、船が大きくて快適。
3、船酔いしやすい子が同船してましたがポイントまでが近いので比較的楽だと思います。
で短所
1、英語の説明しかないが困る事は無いと思う。
2、道中が短いのでコナの街の景色を眺める事が出来ない。
タイミングにもよると思いますがLEDのライトが強く比較的沢山来てくれたと思います。
次回からもここにしようと思います。
マハロ(ありがとう)あなたのマンタツアーのレビューに時間を割いていただきありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたと聞いて嬉しいです。アロハ!

Thank you very much for all your help this time. Thanks to you, the weather was great, and I was able to see the vast Big Island of Hawaii and the long-desired Kilauea Volcano from the sky. If I had to say, it would have been perfect to see a bit more volcanic activity, but I suppose we can't go against nature (laughs). However, I was satisfied as I could clearly see the lava flowing.
I was a bit concerned about the budget, but considering it as a once-in-a-lifetime memory, I don't think it was expensive at all.
このたびはいろいろお世話になりありがとうございました。おかげさまで天気もよく、広大なハワイ島と念願のキラウエア火山を空から観ることができました。敢えて言うならばもう少し活発な火山活動が観られたら最高でしたが、さすがに自然には逆らえませんね(苦笑)。でも溶岩が流れ出ている様子などはハッキリ見えたので満足しています。
予算的にはどうかなと思いましたが、一生の思い出と考えれば決して高くはないと思いますよ。

This year, I wanted to take my daughter to see the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing experience. Masashi Nature School provided us with warm clothing, hats, and gloves, and the bento and miso soup were delicious, with the cocoa after the meal being very tasty as well. The sunset was beautiful, and the explanation for the stargazing was easy to understand. There was also a service of tea and cookies, which was very comforting in the cold. Last year, when I participated in another tour, they only lent me a jacket, and that was after we arrived at the summit, so I had a cold and experienced altitude sickness. This time, the service was exceptional, and I am very grateful for Matsucchan's lively explanations and photography skills. My daughter was also very satisfied. I was moved by the Milky Way. From now on, I would like to ask Masashi Nature School for their services.
今年は娘を連れてきて、マウナケアケア山頂サンセットと星空観察は是非見せたかったものでした。マサシネイチャースクールさんは、上下防寒着と帽子、手袋まで貸してくださった上、お弁当や味噌汁も美味しく、食後のココアもとても美味しかった。サンセットは綺麗で、星空観察の説明もわかりやすく、紅茶とクッキーのサービスがあり、寒い中あったかいものがとても嬉しかった。昨年他のツアーで参加した時は、防寒着は上だけしか貸してくれず、それも山頂に着いてからだったので、寒くて高山病にかかってしまった経験のある私には、至れり尽くせりのサービスで、松っちゃんのノリのいい説明と写真撮影の技術にとても感謝しています。娘も大満足していました。ミルキーウエイには感動しました。これからは、マサシネイチャースクールにお願いしたいと思います。

I love the Big Island and have visited many times, but this was my first time participating in this tour, which I had been curious about. The bus slowly ascended towards the summit of Mauna Kea, and I could feel the thinning oxygen. During a break, we enjoyed a bento box and warm drinks, and after putting on our warm clothing, we finally reached the top! It felt like a different world! There were people snowboarding on the snow-covered mountain. And the sea of clouds spread out below us! The sun gradually set, and we were able to see a magnificent sunset. The surroundings were enveloped in the evening glow, and I could feel the mana in the sacred atmosphere. From there, the crescent moon and Venus appeared, and as it got darker, the night sky was filled with stars. I've never seen the Milky Way so clearly! The guide used a pointer to explain the constellations, making it easy to understand! There was also a service for warm drinks, and we could take commemorative photos with a high-performance camera against the starry sky. It was a wonderful service to be able to view and download the photos taken during the tour later on the web. I'm really glad I participated. I'm grateful for the amazing experience!
ハワイ島が大好きで、何度も訪れていましたが、このツアーは気になっていながらも初参加でした。

そこからは三日月と金星が現れ、暗くなるにつれて夜空は満点の星☆
こんなにはっきりと天の川を見たことはありません!

There are many fish in the shallow area. I was surprised when I was surrounded by yellow tangs.
It's also recommended for energetic kids to slide down from the boat's slide or jump off the diving board.
If you're not confident or worried about getting tired, you can wear a floatation belt around your torso for peace of mind.
Breakfast and lunch are enjoyable on the boat. The meat for the lunch burgers is freshly grilled on the boat and delicious.

On that day, three manta rays came to us, and they turned around multiple times, which was just amazing! This was the best memory from my experience on the Big Island. I hope everyone can have a wonderful experience at Manta University as well. If I have the opportunity to go back to the Big Island, I would love to participate again.

It feels like a friendly couple runs this place. Since we were supposed to gather at 9, I arrived 10 minutes early, but no one was there. The couple showed up right on time. We departed at 9:30, and they told us to eat bananas and macadamia nuts while we waited. I was worried about being able to ride the horse, but it seemed well-trained, so I had nothing to worry about. I had a very enjoyable time. I had previously looked at the scenery from above the valley, but this was a valuable experience that you can only appreciate by going down.
Oh, the restroom is extremely dirty. It stinks! So, I strongly recommend taking care of that before arriving at the meeting point. There is a public restroom at the Waipi'o Valley lookout, so it's a good idea to use that. It's not clean either, but it's much better than here.
Also, after the horseback riding, the couple leaves the customers behind to go for lunch. That was refreshing in a way.

My 7-year-old daughter, my nephew, and my grandfather all participated. Since my daughter had ridden horses once in Hokkaido, she had some understanding of the process, but everyone was very satisfied as they were able to ride more than they expected. Unlike in Japan, where the instructor walks alongside holding the reins, here the instructor was also on horseback. At first, my daughter had some tears because she couldn't lift the horse's head well, but after a while, she seemed to be doing well.
The explanations were, of course, in English, so it seemed quite confusing for them. However, we had trouble finding the meeting point. We intended to arrive 30 minutes early, but we got lost and arrived right at the starting time, which caused inconvenience to those who had arrived earlier. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about the meeting point.
The weather was quite rainy, to the point where we thought it might be canceled, but the event went ahead. It stopped raining by the end, but I wished I had reminded everyone to bring raincoats based on the weather.
I participated in a different tour with my baby and mother, but the timing of the horseback riding experience worked out well, and I was able to pick them up properly.
My daughter said she wants to participate in horseback riding again and try running next time.
参加した7歳の娘も甥っ子もおじいさんもみんないっています。
北海道で一度乗馬をしているので、ある程度の流れわかっていたのですが、思っていた以上に乗馬でき大満足のみんなです。日本とは違い、指導の方が歩いて手綱をひいて、、いう乗馬の方法ではなく、指導の方も馬の上からなので、初めは娘がうまく馬の頭を上げられなく涙する場面があったようですが、しばらくすると、うまく進んでいたようです。
説明はもちろん英語だったので、ちんぷんかんぷんだったようですが、、、、
ただ、集合場所がわからなく、30分前に到着しよう思っていたのですが、迷子になり開始時刻に到着。先に到着されていたみなさんに迷惑をかけてしましました。
もっと詳しく集合場所がわかるといいです。
お天気も、、、中止か、、とおもうくらいの雨でしたが決行されました。最後には雨は上がったのですが、、持ち物にお天気によりカッパ必要とあれば持たせていたのに、、と思いました。
私は赤ちゃんと母と別のツアーに参加していましたが、乗馬体験の時間といい感じで組み合わせることができ、お迎えにもきちんいくことができましたよ。
娘は、次も乗馬に参加して走ってみたい、、といっています。

We were picked up in front of the condominium at 3 PM and headed to the summit after picking up four groups. The weather down below was sunny and cloudy, and as we climbed, the clouds thickened, making us uncertain if it was really clear. However, near the summit, it was perfectly clear, above the clouds.
I had heard that the sunrise was wonderful, but due to timing, we opted for the sunset, which was also quite magical and enjoyable. The altitude at the summit of Mauna Kea is a bit breathless, so it might be tough for those around middle school age.
After the sun set, we descended a bit for stargazing. Unfortunately, there were quite a few clouds, and the moon was too bright, which was a bit disappointing. However, there was a thorough explanation of the constellations, which was satisfying. We were able to return to the hotel by a little after 10 PM.
Overall, it was a satisfying activity. The time spent was long, from the afternoon to the evening, allowing us to enjoy the day. If you manage the time difference well, you might also be able to enjoy the sunrise.
午後3時にコンドミニアム前にお迎え、此処から4組をピックアップして山頂に向かいました。下での天候は晴れ、曇りで、登るにつれて雲が厚くなり、本当に晴れているのか不安でしたが、山頂付近は快晴、雲の上でした。
朝日が素晴らしいと聞いておりましたが、時間の問題で夕陽にしましたが、こちらもなかなか幻想的で良かったです。マウナケアの山頂は少々息が切れる高度ですので、中学生位まではきついかも。
日が沈んで少し下山して、星空観測。こちらは雲が少々多いのと、月が明る過ぎたので、ちょっと残念。でも丁寧な星座の説明もあり、満足。夜10時過ぎにはホテルに戻れました。
全体として満足のいくアクティビティでした。時間も午後~夜までと長く、一日楽しめました。時差を上手に使うと朝日も楽しめるかも知れないです。

On August 1st, I participated with six people, including two children. I think there is a need for improvement in guiding to the seats, but the buffet food was delicious, and the luau show was enjoyable with various performances like hula dancing and fire shows. I thought three hours from 5 PM to 8 PM would be long, but with the meal, the show, and the sunset along with the natural setting, I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.
8月1日に子供2人を含め6人で参加しました。
座席までの誘導に改善が必要かと思いますが、ブッフェの料理もおいしくルアウショーもフラダンスやファイヤーショーなどいろいろな構成があり楽しかったです。
5時から8時までの3時間で長いかと思いましたが、食事・ショーそしてサンセットと自然の演出もあり飽きずに楽しめました。

This was the best idea we had to add to our Hawaiian vacation. I felt very lucky that my family of 3 had a private tour via the ocean from a native. Chris was AWESOME. Super nice. Shared a lot of Hawaiian culture with us. That alone was great but it was even better to get our lesson on sea while looking back at the island. Totally totally worth it. I've already told all our friends to do this. Thank you Chris.

I visited the Big Island of Hawaii on a mother-daughter trip because I wanted to show my 13-year-old daughter the great outdoors and the starry sky. Due to our fixed schedule, we were unable to see the starry sky as we had hoped, especially since it was the day after the full moon and July has long days. However, I was very moved by the sunset from the summit. I was also surprised to see the magma from Kilauea Volcano coloring the sea of clouds orange.
Our guide, Jin, was highly professional and made every effort to ensure we had the best tour possible under the limited circumstances. He secured the best spots at the summit, arranged for us to take photos with a rare moonbow on the way down, and even made a stop on the way back when the clouds cleared a bit to show us the starry sky. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour, and I would like to try to see the starry sky again.
13歳の娘に大自然と星空を見せたくて母子旅行でハワイ島を訪れました。
日程が動かせないこともあり、満月の翌日、また7月は日も長いこともあり、期待した星空は残念ながら見ることができませんでした。でも頂上から見るサンセットにはとても感動。キラウェア火山のマグマが雲海をオレンジに染めているのにも驚きました。
ガイドのジンさんはプロ意識が高く、限られた状況の中でもベストなツアーとなるよう努力してくださいました。頂上でのベストな場所確保、下山途中に珍しいムーンボーとの写真撮影、更に帰りに少し雲が晴れたところで途中停車し星空を見せてくださる等、総合的に大満足のツアーとなりました。星空はもう一度チャレンジしたいと思います。
