Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner

Outstanding day full of fun, great food, and educational content.

Reviewed by: Jack

Nick and Misty did a great job interacting with the group and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable with the tour and the information. Our day was 12 hours long and was very enjoyable from the time we were picked up at our hotel till late in the evening. The volcano lava viewing in the evening was amazing!

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

Our favorite vacation day!

Reviewed by: A. Durnell

This was truly a magical day in Hawaii. Waipio Valley is one of those places best seen through the eyes of someone local. This is not merely a tour, but more of an invitation to visit the valley as a guest and get the grand tour from people who truly love it and want you to as well. The horses are happy, healthy, well cared for individuals with personalities and this trail ride is not the dull, narrated nose to tail variety often found in tourist areas. You won't have a "canned" speech and your horses won't be falling asleep from having done a monotonous walk they have done a million times with no hope of change. We left feeling like we really learned a lot from our hosts, who live in the valley, love and know it well, while having seen some of the most spectacular scenery on the island. The snapshot of the view from the lookout point is certainly gorgeous, but go the extra mile and take a ride into the valley to see the taro, the waterfalls, the wild horses, the freshwater streams and amazing landscape. You won't be disappointed!

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

The photos are beautiful! 写真がきれい!

Reviewed by: みーこ

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. I considered going to Mauna Kea on our own, but it seemed too challenging, so we joined this tour. In hindsight, it was a great decision!

I wore a T-shirt with a long-sleeve rash guard, which felt more like autumn wear, and everyone at the meeting point was dressed for winter, so I thought, "Did I make a mistake?" However, we were able to borrow fluffy ski wear, hats, and gloves, so I wasn't cold at all. There was snow at the summit, but the perceived temperature was higher than around my home. For people from snowy or cold regions, wearing thick clothes might be uncomfortable in warm vehicles, so I think it's better to wear layers that are easy to take on and off.

The bus was full and a bit cramped, but the atmosphere was friendly and enjoyable. On the way there, we did some sightseeing along the route and stopped at a supermarket in Waikoloa, and on the way back, it was quiet... but we were able to stop at the supermarket again, which felt like a bonus. I tried the Maui chips recommended by Kon, and they were delicious.

The highlight, Mauna Kea, was amazing! The changing colors of the sky were beyond my imagination. We could also see the Subaru Telescope. I'm really glad I participated. Additionally, I was thrilled to have many beautiful photos taken with a large DSLR camera that I couldn't have captured myself. (Later, I received an ID and password to download them.) I was unsure which company's tour to choose based on the photo quality, but I'm glad I chose this one.

If I had to mention something, I was a bit disappointed that the lunch was Japanese-style. Since it was a trip, I would have preferred something more Hawaiian. However, the taste was delicious, and the warm miso soup and the choice of drinks (I had cocoa), along with the cookies and tea afterward, were all so good that I ended up asking for seconds. (By the way, the other two Japanese tour companies I saw at Onizuka also had different Japanese-style bento.)

新婚旅行で行ったハワイ。マウナケアは個人で行くことも考えたけれど、やっぱりハードルが高いのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。結果、大正解!

私の服装はTシャツに長袖ラッシュガードという秋服(?)で、集合場所にいた皆さんの服装が冬服だったので「失敗した!?」と思ったのですが、モコモコのスキーウェアや帽子手袋を借りられるので全く寒くなかったです。山頂に雪はありましたが、自宅周辺よりも体感気温は高かったです。特に雪国・寒冷地の人はあんまり厚手の服だと温かい車内等で大変かもしれないので、脱ぎ着しやすい服がいいと思います。

バスは満員でちょっと狭かったけれど、和気あいあいとした雰囲気で楽しかったです。行きのバスでは通り道の観光もしつつワイコロアのスーパーに寄ったり、帰りは静かに…でもスーパーにも寄ってもらえたのでお得な気分に。こんさんお勧めのマウイチップス、ホテルで食べましたが美味しかったです。

肝心のマウナケアは最高でした!だんだんと空の色が変わっていく様子は想像以上。すばる天文台も見えました。本当に参加してよかったと思いました。また、自分では撮れないような素敵な写真を、大きな一眼カメラでたくさん撮ってもらえて感激。(後日ID&PWが送られてきてダウンロード)どこの会社のツアーで行くか迷って、写真のイメージで決めたのですが、ここにお願いしてよかったです。

あえて言うなら、弁当が和風だったことが少し残念。旅行なのでできればハワイっぽいものが食べたかったかな。でも味は美味しかったし、温かいみそ汁や選べるドリンク(私はココア)、その後のクッキーや紅茶もどれも美味しくてお代わりまでもらってしまいました。(ちなみにオニズカで見た他の日本ツアー2社?も別の和風弁当でした)

A view I will never forget. 一生忘れられない景色

Reviewed by: ニコン

I participated in a tour on February 5th. That day, there were concerns about strong winds closing the entrance to the summit, but I managed to reach the top. We were provided with a bento box, miso soup, and tea, which warmed me up a bit before heading to the summit. On the way up, I felt a little palpitations and noticed the decreasing oxygen levels. Looking out the window, I saw that there was still snow, and the air felt cold. Gloves and a hat were essential. I was very moved to see mountains that I can't see in Japan right next to me.

I believe I will never forget the sunset at the summit. The starry sky had a half-moon, making the night sky a bit bright, but I was able to see it well. The guide's explanations were enjoyable, and they helped me take photos of the moon with my smartphone through a telescope that showed the moon's surface. It was truly a wonderful experience.

2月5日にツアーに参加しました。その日は風が強く頂上への入り口が閉ざされてしまう心配がありましたが、なんとか頂上へ辿り着く事ができました。お弁当とお味噌汁やお茶を出していただき、体が少し温まったらいざ頂上へ。登っていく途中少し動悸がして、酸素が少なくなっていくのを感じつつ、窓の外をみるとまだ雪がのこっていて、空気が冷たく感じました。手袋と帽子は必須でした。日本ではみることのできない山々が直ぐ側に見れて、とても感動しました。
頂上でのサンセットは一生忘れることは出来ないと思います。星空は月が半分でていて少し明るい夜空でしたが、十分に見る事ができました。ガイドの方の説明も楽しく、月の表面が見える望遠鏡で月をスマホで撮影もしてくれて、本当に素晴らしい体験をしました。

The best experience of my life. 人生最高レベルの経験

Reviewed by: とっぴ

We encountered about 20 dolphins just five minutes after departure! After that, we spotted two small whales (which the guide mentioned are quite rare to see). Even though it wasn't included in the tour, we were able to swim and see them up close.

When we moved to Dolphin Point, we were able to meet around 100 dolphins. The sight of dolphins swirling around us was a memory of a lifetime. There’s a rule against touching them, but they come close enough for us to reach out (however, our hands have a lot of germs, and touching them could cause burns, so we must absolutely not touch!). It was clear that the guide was enjoying himself, which made it fun for us too.

As a bonus, we also got to see a whale, which felt like an incredible deal.

Afterward, we received potato chips and juice to satisfy our little hunger.

I realized that many customers had also come on the same tour two years ago or were planning to come again tomorrow, which showed me how great this tour is. If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely want to participate.

出発して5分もしないところでイルカ20頭程と早速遭遇!
その後、小さなクジラ2匹に遭遇!(ガイドさんでもなかなか見れない種類らしい)
そこでもツアーに含まれないのに泳いで見ることができました。
その後ドルフィンポイントに移動したら、おそらく100頭ほどのイルカに出会うことができました。
左右下にぐるぐるとイルカがいる様子は、一生の思い出になりました。
触ってはいけないルールなのですが、触れるほどの距離までイルカから来てくれます(が、私たちの手にはばい菌が沢山で、イルカが火傷のようになるので絶対触ってはいけません!)
ガイドさん自身が楽しんでいるのが伝わり、こちらも楽しかったです。

その後も、おまけでホエールも見れて、本当にお得すぎました。

終わった後にポテトチップスとジュースをもらい、小腹を満たせます。

2年前に同じツアーに来たんだ!とか、
明日も来る!というお客さんが沢山いて、
このツアーの良さがわかりました。
私もまた来る機会があれば、絶対に参加したいです。

No doubt about it. 間違いなし

Reviewed by: Kura

Tours like this are greatly influenced by the quality of the guides, and I was very satisfied with the guidance from the KON and JIN duo. For those who enjoy detailed explanations, this is definitely a great choice. The topics about Onizuka and the stargazing guide were top-notch and fantastic.

If you think it's just about watching the sunset or seeing a lot of stars, you're very mistaken. The experience from 4,200 meters is incredibly valuable. I highly recommend going.

Also, for those sensitive to altitude sickness, some symptoms may occur, but if you take care to avoid sudden movements, enjoying the view shouldn't be a problem.

この手のツアーは、ガイドさんの質で左右されるところが大きいですが、KONさんJINさんコンビからガイドを受けた分では、非常に満足でした。うんちく系が好きな人には間違いなしかと思います。オニヅカネタ、星空ガイドは鉄板で最高でした。
日の入り見るだけでしょ?星がたくさん見えるだけでしょ?と思っているのでしたら、大間違いです。4200mからの実物は、体験として、非常に貴重なものでした。行かれる事をお勧めします。
なお、高山病に敏感な人は、それなりに症状は出ますが、急激な動きを避ける等、ケアを行えば観賞は問題ありません。

I was a bit anxious because there were few Japanese people on the tour, but the cute Ali-chan kindly explained everything! I was excited to see a manta ray, and we encountered one fairly quickly after starting snorkeling! It was impressive, yet I felt it was really cute! At first, I was so excited to see the manta ray that I forgot about the cold, but since it was late January, it gradually got colder towards the end, and I couldn't stop shivering after getting back on the boat. However, it was a valuable experience to see a manta ray for the first time!

ツアーは日本人が少なく不安になりましたが、かわいいアリちゃんが優しく説明してくれました!
マンタに会えるかドキドキでしたが、シュノーケリング開始から割とすぐにマンタに会えました!迫力があって、でもすごくかわいく感じました!
最初はマンタに会えて興奮して忘れていましたが、1月下旬ということもあり、終わりのほうはだんだん寒くなりボートに上がってから震えが止まりませんでした。でも初めてマンタに会えて貴重な体験になりました!

The sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea is amazing! マウナケア山頂のサンセットは、素晴らしい!

Reviewed by: ジィージ

On the day of the tour, while heading to Mauna Kea with 13 participants, a female participant requested a stop at a lava cave along the route. Our tour guide, Mr. Konno, made a stop at a beautiful beach as well, which was a lucky start. The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea (4,200m) was magnificent. On the way back, we enjoyed stargazing around 3,000m, where we could see beautiful stars with the naked eye. Additionally, Mr. Konno provided clear explanations about the stars, making it a fun tour.

当日、13名の参加者とマウナケアに行く途中、参加者の女性から経路途中の溶岩洞窟への立ち寄りを依頼され、ツアー担当の今野さんが綺麗なビーチとセットで立ち寄り、ラッキーで始まり、本題のマウナケア山頂(4,200M)からのサンセットは、素晴らしかった。帰路、3,000M付近で星空観賞をしたが肉眼でも綺麗な星が見られ、更に、今野さんから分かりやすい星の説明を受け、楽しいツアーでした。

A dream-like time. 夢のような時間

Reviewed by: はるこ

Driving to the summit of Mauna Kea, which is over 4,000 meters high and taller than Mount Fuji, is truly convenient and helpful for those without climbing experience. The foothills were cloudy, but near the summit, it turned into a sea of clouds, and the sunset sinking into it along with the sky changing colors was incredibly beautiful.

Stargazing in complete darkness before the moon rose was a first-time experience for me, where I could see the Milky Way, shooting stars, the International Space Station moving more slowly than shooting stars, and even the rare sight of the red flames from a volcanic crater.

The guide's explanation of the constellations using a laser pointer was also enjoyable.

富士山より高い4000メートル級のマウナケア山山頂に自動車で行くことができるのは、登山未経験者には本当に楽で助かります。山麓は曇っていましたが、山頂付近は雲海となって、そこへ沈んでいく夕日と刻々と色を変える空は最高に美しかったです。
真っ暗な中での星空観測は、月が上がる前の時間帯で天の川、流れ星、流れ星よりゆっくり動く国際宇宙ステーション、めったに見られないらしい火山の噴火口の赤い炎も観ることができ、人生初の体験ばかりでした。

ワイピオ渓谷 乗馬ツアー 絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

My first horseback riding experience. 初めての乗馬体験。

Reviewed by: depot

I participated because I wanted to see the Hiilawe Falls in Waipi'o Valley. Those who do hula will understand, but two waterfalls merge into one river and flow out to the sea. It was a beautiful sight.

It was my first time riding a horse, but the horses are well-trained, so there were no issues. I was nervous at first since it was my first experience. The instructions before riding are only in English, but there is a description in Japanese in front of the stable. The application form was in Japanese.

We rode for about two and a half hours through the valley, seeing taro fields, rivers, and waterfalls. The scenery was very pleasant. I would definitely like to participate again.

We are not very good at English, so we asked the hotel concierge to confirm our reservation. It can be confusing to navigate to the site by rental car.

After reaching the Waipi'o Lookout, if you return along the left side of the road, you will arrive at the shop.

Everyone gathers early, so it's best to arrive at least 30 minutes beforehand. The shop also had snacks and souvenirs.

ワイピオ渓谷でヒイラべェの滝が見たくて参加しました。フラをしている方なら分かると思いますが二つの滝が一つの川となり海へ流れ出る。メレの通りでした。
乗馬は初めてのでしたが、しっかりと調教されているので問題はありません。私は初めてだったので、慣れるまでは緊張しました。馬に乗る前の説明は英語のみですが、馬小屋の前に日本語で説明が書いてあります。参加申込書は日本語でした。
約2時間半 馬に乗って渓谷の中を回りました タロ畑・川・滝 とても気持ちのいい景色でした。また是非、参加したいです。

Best thing I did in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Stephanie

Best guided tour by far. Very professional-able to anticipate your needs and provided things you didn't even know you needed. Chris- the owner, and our guide for the night- was fantastic. His enthusiasm was contagious. Great company, great tour. Do it!

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

It's so cold, but it's really beautiful!! 寒~~い、でもめっちゃ綺麗!!

Reviewed by: ギッタカ

On the day, it was really windy and extremely cold...
But I got to see the snow in Hawaii, and the sunset was absolutely magical.
There were a few clouds, so I couldn't see all the stars, but our guide, Jin, kept trying until the end, and he was very considerate from start to finish. I was really satisfied!
However, you shouldn't underestimate the mountains in Hawaii during winter.

当日は風も強くてめっちゃくちゃ寒かった…
でも、ハワイの雪が見れたし、夕日はめちゃめちゃ幻想的でした。
ちょっと雲があったので星空は全部は見れなかったけど、ガイドの仁さんも最後までトライしてくださったし、最初から最後まで色々お気遣い頂いて、本当に満足でした♪
しかし、冬のハワイの山は舐めたらあかんσ(^◇^;)

Dear Gittaka,

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. It's hard to imagine it being cold in Hawaii. The wind at the summit is extremely cold, isn't it? Even in summer, it's chilly, so Mauna Kea is truly formidable.

There are many other wonderful places on the Big Island, so we hope you will come back to the Big Island next time. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.

弊社のツアーに御参加頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。
ハワイなのに寒いなんて想像もつかないですね。山頂の風はめちゃくちゃ冷たくて寒いですよね。夏でも寒いですから恐るべしマウナケアですね。
ハワイ島は他にもたくさん素晴らしい場所がたくさんございますので次回もハワイ島にお越しくださいませ、
スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申しております。

ケアウホウ湾 シーカヤック&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

I had a great time. とても楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: じゅの

When I checked the meeting place on Google Maps, it ended up being along H1, so I confirmed it at the hotel front desk and headed there cautiously. First, we drove to check the parking and location, and in the end, we walked from the Sheraton where we were staying to Keauhou Bay. It was about the size of a private beach, and we could easily reach it from the opposite side.

It was our first time kayaking, and as expected, we didn't make much progress at first, but the weather was really nice that day, and we were able to reach the cave safely! As mentioned in other comments, it's better to have sandals that won't come off or trekking shoes. Depending on the weather, there may be times when you can't reach the land, so it's best to bring them just in case. We only had beach sandals, but the guide said, "They float in water, so if you drop them, you can just pick them up, so it's not a problem."

I recommend getting a waterproof disposable camera sold on-site, as it allows you to take photos without worry. Also, my husband only got sunburned on the inside of his feet. It's best to be fully prepared for sun protection.

集合場所をGoogleMapで確認すると、H1沿いになってしまうのでホテルのフロントで確かめて慎重に向かいました。まずは車で行き駐車場や場所を確認し、結局は今回宿泊していたシェラトンから歩いてケアウホウ湾に行きました。プライベートビーチぐらいの大きさで反対側にいても問題なくたどり着ける距離でした。
カヤックは主人も私も初めてで、思った通りになかなか進まなかったりしましたが、この日は本当に天気が良く無事に洞窟までたどり着くことができました!
他の人のコメントにあったとおり、脱げないサンダルやトレッキング用シューズがあったほうが良いです。天候によっては陸地にいけないこともありますが、念のため持って行ったほうがよいです。私たちはビーチサンダルしかなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが「水に浮くから落としても拾えるから問題ない」と言ってました。
現地で売ってる防水の使い捨てカメラがあると気兼ねなく写真を撮ることができるのでお勧めです。
あと、主人は足の内側だけ焼けてました。日焼け対策は万全にしておいたほうが良いです。

Whale watching was great.

We had a great time on the morning whale watching cruise. The catamaran was large and comfortable. The crew was extremely knowledgeable. We saw a few whales and happened upon one bottle nose dolphin.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Amazing views and breathtaking!

Reviewed by: Cheryl

From the top of Mauna Kea you truly see forever. However, be prepared! At these heights it is also breath taking... that is, there is less air up there!! The guides were great and prepared you for the trip in every way. The dinner was good and the star gazing after coming half way back down was amazing.

I absolutely recommend this tour!! First of all, the tour guide was a wonderful Japanese person. I was amazed by their explanations of the sightseeing spots and their thoughtful interactions. They also gave various poses and advice for photos, allowing us to take many memorable pictures. The stargazing was a world I had never seen before, and it was so moving that I was brought to tears! If I have the chance to go again, I will definitely participate! Everyone, please join the stargazing tour and experience this wonderful world for yourselves!!

このツアーは絶対オススメです!!まずツアーガイドさんが、とても素晴らしい日本人の方なんです。観光場所の説明・応対の気遣いに驚きました。また写真も色々なポーズでまた色々アドバイスをくれて、記念になる写真がたくさん撮れました。星空観測は今までみたことがない世界で涙が流れるくらい感動しました!また行ける機会があれば絶対に参加します!みなさま是非、星空観測ツアーに参加して素晴らしい世界を目にしてみてください!!

The sunset and star tour is our most popular offering. The sunset and starry sky from the mountain top are truly breathtaking, aren’t they? If you have the opportunity next time, we hope you discover something new on the Big Island.
