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

Amazing!! 最高!!

Reviewed by: はたぼー

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. Since I don't usually do stargazing, I wasn't very interested while looking at the travel guide, but after hearing the travel agent passionately say, "Mauna Kea is a special place where observatories from various countries are located, and you can see an incredible night sky," I decided to go.

On the day of the tour, they picked us up by van at our hotel. We stopped at about three hotels to pick up other guests before heading out. During the ride, I met a couple from the same prefecture, and we had a great time chatting, so I was never bored. The guide's commentary was not the usual scripted bus guide style; it was friendly and enjoyable, making the trip comfortable. Along the way, we learned about a plant called the silver sword, which only exists in two or three places in the world. It’s an endangered species, and true to its name, it was silver and rare, so I was glad to see it.

To prevent altitude sickness, we took a break for about an hour at the Onizuka Business Center on the mountainside. We also learned some breathing techniques to avoid altitude sickness. Although we were still a bit away from the summit, it was already cold. It was hard to believe this was Hawaii. I was glad to see a different side of Hawaii.

We had a makunouchi bento, warm miso soup, and hot coffee. Everything was delicious, but given the cold, the miso soup was the best. They lent us quite warm windbreakers, hats, and gloves, and we could also get hand warmers, but since there’s a limited number, I think it’s better to bring your own. The summit is quite cold, so it’s advisable to prepare thermal wear like Heattech. We also brought some based on other people's reviews.

At the top, we watched the sunset. There were many observatories from various countries at the summit, including a large one from Japan. Although there were a few clouds that day, they cleared up just in time for the sunset, which was magical, as it felt like we were looking at the boundary between the universe and Earth from a place higher than Mount Fuji. We took a lot of photos ourselves, but I recommend having the guide take some as well. The guide knows the best angles and ideas (like jumping or holding the sun in your hands). Looking back, we got some great shots, making for wonderful memories. When we were taking photos on our own, the guide kindly offered to help, which was a nice touch.

Stargazing was done a little below the summit. After sunset, the observatories take priority at the top, so it seems there’s a rule to observe from a bit lower down. Even from this spot, we could see an incredible number of stars that I had never seen before. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The guide’s explanations using a laser pointer were very clear and enjoyable, with a light and engaging style that made it fun. We could also take photos here. They used special equipment to capture both the starry sky and people at the same time. I got to take a commemorative photo with the Southern Cross, which is something you rarely see in Japan.

On the way back, we enjoyed relaxing music related to the night sky as we were driven back to the hotel. I couldn’t help but laugh when a song by Kenichi Mikawa played along the way. The ride was bumpy on unpaved roads, with the vehicle shaking quite a bit. The road was rough, with rocks and sand affecting the tires, but the guide's driving felt safe. For someone inexperienced, it would be the kind of off-road that might make you want to give up and go home. I think it’s a good idea to take motion sickness medicine just in case.

It was a long review, but it was a thoroughly satisfying tour! Next time, I want to join the sunrise tour!

新婚旅行でこのツアーに参加しました。
普段天体観測をする事もないので、旅行ガイドを見ている段階ではあまり興味はありませんでしたが旅行代理店の方が「マウナケアは各国の天文台が設置してあるくらい特別な星空が見える場所ですよ」と熱く語っているのを聞いて行く事にしました。

当日は、宿泊するホテルまでバンで迎えに来て頂きました。
他のお客さんを乗せるために３件ほどホテルを経由してから出発します。
車中では同県に住んでいるご夫婦ともお会いでき、楽しく話をしながらでしたのでまったく退屈しなかったです。
そして、ガイドの方の案内はバスガイドのように決まりきった事を話している訳ではなく、フレンドリーな感じで楽しく快適でした。
途中で銀剣草という世界でも２～３箇所にしか生息していない植物を教えてもらいました。
絶滅危惧種との事で、名前の通り銀色で珍しく、見れて良かったです。
高山病予防の為に、山腹にあるオニヅカビジネスセンターで１時間ほど休憩します。
あと高山病にならないための、呼吸法など教わりました。
ここは山頂まではもう少しありますが既に寒いです。ここがハワイとは思えません。
ハワイの別の顔を見れて良かったです。
幕の内弁当と暖かいお味噌汁とホットコーヒーを頂きました。
どれも美味しかったですが寒い中なのもあり、お味噌汁が一番美味しかったです。
かなり暖かい繋ぎのウインドブレーカーと帽子手袋を貸して頂きました、
カイロをもらうこともできましたが、個数に限りがあるので持参するほうが良いと思います。
山頂はかなり寒いので、インナーはヒートテックなど防寒着を別に準備していくほうが良いです。私たちも他の方のクチコミを見て、用意していきました。
頂上で日の入りを見ます。頂上には各国の天体観測所が沢山ありました。
日本の大きな天体観測所もありました。
当日は少し雲がある状態でしたが、日の入りの時間は雲がなくなっていて、日の入りが見れました。
富士山より高い場所での日の入りは宇宙と地球の境目を見ているようで幻想的でした。
自分たちで写真もたくさん撮りましたが、ガイドさんに撮っていただくのがオススメです。
ガイドさんはベストアングルやアイデア（ジャンプしているところや、太陽を手に持っている所）を知っていますので。
後から見ても良いショットが撮れていたので、良い記念になりました。
自分たちだけで、撮っていたときにガイドさんのほうから声を掛けてくれました。
心遣いがうれしかったです。

星空観測は、頂上から少し下ったところで行いました。日が沈んだ後は頂上は各国の天体観測が優先される為に、頂上から少し下ったところで観測する決まりがあるようです。
この場所からの星空でも、見た事がない程の多くの星が見えます。息を呑む美しさでした。
ガイドの方のレーザーポインタを使った説明がとても分かりやすくて良かったです。小難しい事無く喋りが軽快な感じで楽しかったです。
ここでも写真撮影をしてもらえます。星空と人物を同時に撮影する特殊な機材で撮影してもらえました。日本ではなかなか見ることが出来ない南十字星と一緒に撮影してもらい、記念になりました。
帰りの車内は、星空に関連した音楽が流れてのんびり帰る感じで、ホテルまで送って頂きました。途中、美川憲一の曲が流れたときは笑ってしまいました。
未舗装道路を通ります際に車内は揺れます。かなり荒れた道で岩や砂にタイヤが取られていましたが、ガイドさんの運転は安心できる感じでした。
慣れていない素人なら、諦めて帰るぐらいのオフロードです。念のため酔い止めの薬は飲んでおいた方が良いかと思います。
長くなりましたが、大満足のツアーでした！次回はサンライズツアーに参加したいです！

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

The most wonderful day in Hawaii

Reviewed by: NORMA BARAJAS

This tour was astonishing, we had our best time in Hawaii. Starting, our host Jim Carey a gentleman, expert story teller of Hawaiian culture. On the road we could see lava tubes, alien landscapes, the marvelous Mauna Kea where is an astronomical observatory and we had a windy delicious pic nic lunch. Near the city of Hilo, we had our second stop for seeing the Rainbow Falls, a fantastic view of the beauty and force of nature. Not far, Hilo, a rainy city, where is the University of Hawaii and the unforgettable chocolate factory where one can find all kind of delicious chocolates, candies, cookies, macadamia nuts. No one can leave that place without a full bag while Jim Carey is calling you with the sound of ukelele. Also you can take pictures of the statue of king Kamehameha in a park. Then, we took our way to Volcanoes National Park, which welcomed us with a warm fumarole that wet us in a strange but nice sensation. Then, the first wonderful breathtaking view of the Kilauea volcano, a vision like we were in Mars. The museum shows what the nude eye can’t see in a volcano, like Pele´s hair and lava forest. After, an outstanding landscape, the lava river, an unbelievable wonder full of mystery. We took a path through the rainy forest, where the flowers and the tree of Pele’s legend grow in the middle of volcanic rocks. Then Jim took us to a cozy restaurant, with a chimney attended by his owner. Dinner was awesome, very tasty, as the special passion fruit tea. At night we had the vision of fire in the middle of the night, the Kilauea's dancing lava took our breath away, an unforgettable moment, almost mystical. Pictures can’t catch that beauty, but the telescope that Jim takes with him did.
Back in the van a great surprise waited for us. Like a love detail, a hot coco and cookies appeared to warm us. On our road back more than one fell asleep dreaming of the most wonderful day of their lives. Mahalo from Colombia.

Wonderful experience. Must Go!

Reviewed by: Yuki

We started the morning with very warm welcome with big smile of the guide in front of our hotel lobby. His name was Jim Carey. Since we were Japanese visiting from Japan, he was concerned about the tour being conducted in English. We said we were Okay, try to keep up. He kindly told us that he would try to speak.
As we started the actual tour and as we picking up the more new guests, he explain the schedule of the day again and again. so everybody know how that day is gonna be.
As we were on the move, he had full of stories of scenic locations, Hawaiian history and cultures.
At the lunch, we had Pick-nick lunch at the base of Mauna Kea, we had the Chicken Caesar wrap at very fine environment. When it was time to go, Jim was not calling out the guest but he was playing songs with the Ukulele to let people know that it is time to go, what a kind way to notify!!

After that we went to Hiro, there we did not have much time to stop so Jim was explaining lots of stuff as he drove by. Then after that we went to the Rainbow Fall, although we could not see the rainbow, it was beautiful fall.
Then here comes the main event, the volcano. We visited the steam vent and couple of other scenic points and a little hiking it was very interesting and felt really good to hike in unusual volcanic environment. Only thing was that rain came and went repeatedly. Then we moved to the location of Lava tube. It was awesome!! Here also, Jim had a wonderful stories to tell. We learned a lot of stuff from him.
Then we moved to the lodge/Restaurant for the dinner. Surprisingly the dinner was much better quality than we expected. After the dinner, when we got out of the restaurant, it was dark but very clear sky, we went back to volcano and saw lava splash and million stars with Jim's stories. Totally different face the volcano showed us from earlier that day.
All activities were finished and on the way back to the hotel, we are so tired and fell asleep. Best tour ever!!

First of all, I would like to thanks hawaiian activies for appear on my google search!! As me and my wife didn't know about this activie, we search on google and find the website. We were very excited from the begening because of what the people were saying about eh tour. And we were right to be. The Tour is more than amazing, from the day before, I received a call in my hotel room to confirm the pick up time and he was there in the next day about 11:30h. He was Jim Carrey (no, not the famous one haha, but was so brilliant as the other!). Our tour guide was more than fantastic, a lot of histories about legends and culture from Hawaii than you could imagine. We had lunch in the way to Hilo, in a such nice beautiful place close to the Manua Lea. After that we took our way to Hilo, but before we went to the beautiful rainbow fall, not so beautiful, but very nature, in the midle of a forest, we loved. Hilo was a nice surprised, we went to a Candie Shop from Big Islands, huge store and my wife fall in love, she loves chocolates haha. After that we went to the volcano site at day, before dinner, was such a nice surprise, first time close to a active volcano. And every time with the histories from our brilliant guide. The dinner was one of the best parts of the tour, the best soup ever, and a very friendly restaurant, we loved every moment. After sunset, we return to the volcano to see the magic at night and we were really surprised and satisfied. I want thank Jim and everyone envolved, was one of the best days of our lives, and the best day of our honeymoon!! Guilherme Marinho and Aline Amaral.

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

Watching the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds and the starry sky. 雲海に沈む夕日と満天の星空観測

Reviewed by: こううん

The sunset observation point is at an altitude of 4,200 meters, where the oxygen concentration is only about 60% of that at ground level. To acclimate, we took a break at around 2,000 meters to move our bodies and had dinner at the Onizuka Visitor Center (2,800 meters) before taking a walk to see the silversword plant. After that, we climbed for a while on a bumpy off-road path. We then returned to a paved road and took a break near the Subaru Telescope (4,139 meters). The shadows of people were impressively long. Finally, we climbed up to 4,200 meters to witness the setting sun. Not only the sunset, but also the shadow of Mauna Kea and the Earth's shadow after sunset were beautiful. There is a rule that you must descend from the summit within 30 minutes after sunset, so we did stargazing at a point a bit lower down. The starry sky was magnificent, and our guide made it very easy to understand by pointing out constellations with a green laser.

During the tour, the guide took many photos for us, which we could later download from the web. There were many good photos, but since the logo of Masashi Nature School is in the bottom right corner, I think it would be a good idea for those who are concerned to bring their own good camera. Also, the fee does not include a tip, so it can be a bit of a hassle to think about how much to give.

夕日の観測点は4200mの高さ。酸素濃度も地上の60%しかないそうです。体を慣らすため、2000mくらいのところで休憩して体を動かしたり、オニズカ・ビジターセンター（2800m）で夕食弁当をいただいてギンケンソウを見に散歩したりする時間を作ってくれました。そこからしばらくオフロードのガタガタ道を登ります。その後舗装された道に戻り、すばる望遠鏡（4139m）付近で休憩。人影がものすごく長いのが印象的でした。そしていよいよ4200mまで登り、沈む夕日を拝みます。夕日だけでなく、マウナケア山の影や、日没後の地球の影もきれいでした。日没後30分以内に山頂を降りないという規則があるそうで、星空観測はまたしばらく下ったポイントでします。満天の星空が広がりすごいですが、さらにガイドさんが緑色のレーザーで指し示しながら説明をしてくれたのでとてもわかりやすかったです。
ツアー中はガイドさんにたくさん写真を撮ってもらえ、あとでWebからダウンロードできました。よい写真が多かったですが、右下にマサシネイチャースクールのロゴが入っているので、気になる人は自分でもよいカメラを持っていって撮るとよいと思います。あと料金にチップが含まれていないので、お渡し額を考えるのが少し面倒です。

Manta is the best!!!! マンタ最高！！！！

Reviewed by: みかりんご

I was able to see a manta ray up close, and I was truly satisfied. There was a manta ray just about 10 centimeters in front of me!!!! A very beautiful lady who spoke Japanese guided us, which made me feel safe participating. She was also a great swimmer, like a mermaid. The participants were not only Japanese but also from various countries.

There were quite a few people who felt unwell, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was totally fine (*^◯^*). I'm not good with thrill rides, so the boat ride to see the manta rays was quite scary, but I got used to it after a while and was able to enjoy it.

The sunset and the starry sky viewed from the boat were truly wonderful and became a lifelong memory. I highly recommend it!

ものすごく近くでマンタを見ることができて、本当に大満足です。
目の前10センチくらいのところにマンタがいました！！！！
日本語を話せるとても綺麗なお姉さんが案内をしてくださり、安心して参加できました。泳ぎも上手で、マーメイドのようでした。参加者は日本人ばかりではなく、いろんな国の方がいました。
気分が悪くなっている方も結構いらっしゃいましたが、私は酔い止めを飲んで行ったので、全然平気でした(*^◯^*)
絶叫マシンなどが苦手なので、マンタに会いに行くまでの船がとても怖かったですが、しばらくすると慣れて、楽しむことができました。
船から見る夕日も、星空も、本当に素晴らしく、一生の思い出になりました。
本当にオススメです！

A perfect starry sky. 満点の星空

Reviewed by: RK2

During my personal trip to the Big Island, I participated in this tour. I usually don't join tours, but after researching, I realized that going to the summit of Mauna Kea, which is over 4,000 meters high, is quite challenging on your own, so I decided to take this tour.

As a result, my concerns about being rushed, which is common with tours, were completely unfounded. I was able to enjoy the sunset and stargazing in a relaxed atmosphere, creating wonderful memories.

They picked me up by van at my hotel, and while enjoying the lively talk from the guide and the magnificent nature views from the window, we headed towards Mauna Kea.

First, we stopped at the Onizuka Business Center on the slopes of Mauna Kea, where we had a bento box and warm miso soup. After acclimatizing to the altitude for about an hour, we set off for the summit of Mauna Kea. There were unpaved gravel roads along the way, which would be quite difficult to drive on your own. Considering the various risks, I thought it was wise to join a tour like this.

When we reached the summit area, we borrowed cold-weather gear and enjoyed the sunset. After the sunset, we did some stargazing a little further down the mountain. The air was incredibly clear, and looking up at the night sky, I saw a sky full of twinkling stars. It was very moving. The guide's explanations of the stars using a laser pointer were very easy to understand, so even if you're not knowledgeable about stars, it’s no problem at all. We also took commemorative photos with the stars and Kilauea Volcano in the background, and the entire tour was satisfying from start to finish.

I definitely want to participate again when I visit the Big Island.

個人旅行でハワイ島を訪れた際に、こちらのツアーに参加しました。普段、ツアーに参加することはほとんどないのですが、色々調べたところ、4000メートル級のマウナケアの山頂に個人で行くのは結構大変だということがわかり、こちらのツアーにお世話になりました。

結果、懸念していた、ツアーにありがちな時間に追われるといったことも全くなく、ゆったりとした時間のなかで、サンセット、星空観測を楽しむことができ、最高の思い出をつくることができました。

宿泊するホテルまでバンで迎えに来て頂き、車内でガイドさんの方の軽快なトークと車窓から眺める雄大な自然を楽しみながら、マウナケアを目指しました。

まずマウナケア山腹のオニヅカビジネスセンターというポイントで、幕の内弁当と暖かいお味噌汁を頂き、小一時間、高地に体を慣らした後、マウナケアの山頂に向けて出発です。途中、未舗装の砂利道もあり、もし個人で運転するとなれば相当大変です。様々なリスクを考えると、このようなツアーに参加して行くのが賢明と思いました。

頂上付近に着くと防寒具を借り、サンセットを鑑賞しました。サンセットの後は、少し山を下ったところで、星空観測をしました。空気はとても澄みきっており、夜空を見上げると満点の星が瞬いていました。とても感動しました。ガイドさんのレーザーポインタを使った星の説明が大変わかりやすく、星に疎くても全く問題ありませんでした。キラウエア火山をバックにいれた、星空との記念写真も撮って頂き、最初から最後まで満足のいくツアー内容でした。

またハワイ島を訪れた際には、ぜひ参加したいと思います。

After that, when darkness enveloped us, I finally understood that the Milky Way I learned about in textbooks was a galaxy of overlapping stars. I was deeply moved! You really can't convey that experience without seeing it with your own eyes.
And above all, I was impressed by our guide! Despite being in a very dangerous place (the car was severely damaged on the way back!), we were able to enjoy it safely and truly.

Reviewed by: MAです

I first visited the Big Island of Hawaii 10 years ago, and since then, I've always wanted to join this tour to the summit of Mauna Kea for stargazing. However, my trips to the Big Island have always been decided at the last minute, so I couldn't participate in this popular tour. This time, I signed up as soon as my trip was confirmed, and I finally got to join.

The sunset viewed from 4,000 meters above sea level and the starlit sky from around 2,700 meters are breathtaking! You can only see this in the Big Island. Since it was the 27th day of the lunar month, there was no moonlight, and the stars were especially brilliant. It was cold, but I definitely want to participate again.

初めてハワイ島に行ったのは10年前ですが、その時からマウナケア山頂と星空観測があるこのツアーに参加したいと常に思っていました。
でも、ハワイ島に行くのが決まるのがいつも直前なので、人気のこのツアーに参加することは出来ず、今回は3旅行が決まってから早々に申し込み、やっと参加できました。
地上4000メートルから見る夕陽、2700メートル辺りから見る星空は、絶景‼️

Close encounters with manta rays! マンタが間近に！

I was able to see several manta rays. Some of them came so close that I thought they might bump into me, which was very impressive. I also enjoyed the little fish, similar to horse mackerel, bumping into me. It was my first time snorkeling, but they taught me carefully, so I felt very secure. Although I saw the manta rays at night, the sunset in the evening was also a highlight. However, I think it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.

何枚ものマンタを見ることが出来ました。
なかにはぶつかるんじゃ無いかと思うくらい近づいてくるマンタもいて、とても迫力があります。アジの様な小魚がぶつかってきたりと、色々と楽しめました。

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

I'm glad I experienced it at least once. 一度は体験してよかった

Reviewed by: ｍａｓａｔｏ

Since it was my first helicopter ride, I chose a slightly luxurious OP tour. The stability was more impressive than I expected. After an exciting takeoff, we headed towards the Kilauea volcano. However, we spent a long time just flying over black lava flows, and I was disappointed to see only a little orange magma from the crater. In the second half, as we headed towards Waipi'o Valley, the scenery changed dramatically, revealing beautiful coastlines reminiscent of a Jurassic Park movie, which made me very satisfied. In Waipi'o Valley, the pilot made wonderful turns, allowing us to enjoy a fantastic time. I couldn't understand what was being said in the English commentary, but I wish they had played a Japanese audio guide as well. Since it was quite a long flight, I think I would have been very satisfied if they had shortened the flight over Kilauea volcano to about a third and offered it at a lower price. According to the hotel staff, the pilots here are all former members of the Army helicopter unit and are exceptional pilots.

初めてのヘリコプターといううことで、ちょっと贅沢なＯＰツアーを選択しました。思っていたより素晴らしい安定感です。興奮気味での離陸後、キラウエア火山遊覧に向かいます。ところが延々と真っ黒な溶岩流の後ばかり、火口から見えたオレンジ色のマグマはほんの少しでがっかりな時間が続きます。後半はワイピオ渓谷へ向かうと景色は一変、きれいな海岸沿いにジュラシックパークの映画のような風景が現れ大満足です。ワイピオ渓谷ではパイロットが左右に旋回しながら素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。英語の案内で何を言っているのかわからなかったけど、、、日本語の案内テープでも流してくれればよかったかな。結構、長い時間のフライトなので、キラウエア火山での飛行を３分の1くらいに短縮して、もっとお安くしてくれれば大満足だったと思います。ホテルの人の話ではここのパイロットは陸軍のヘリコプター部隊のＯＢで抜群の操縦技術者ばかりというう事でした。

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

You can drive higher than Mount Fuji! 富士山よりも上へ車で行ける！

Reviewed by: 森田多美

I knew from a TV show that you can drive to a place over 4200 meters high, which is even higher than Mount Fuji, but I really wanted to go there myself! The day I participated, the weather was great, and I could see both the sunset and the stars clearly.

At the center where we stopped for altitude acclimatization, I was able to see the silver swords, a silver plant that only exists in the Himalayas and Mauna Kea. Luckily, I also saw some silver swords blooming, which are said to bloom only once every four years, making them very rare. They looked similar to butterbur, so I didn't take a photo, but I wish I had. (The image shows them before blooming.)

On the way to the summit, you can also see some quite unique scenery, like the Subaru Telescope and the red soil mountains. Depending on the weather, you might even see the red flames of Kilauea during the final stargazing explanation if you take a photo. If you have experience climbing Mount Fuji, you can't help but feel that you have to go here since it's so easy to reach such a high place! It was amazing!

富士山よりも標高が高い4200ｍ越えの場所まで車で行けるのはテレビで以前見て
知っていましたが、実際に行ってみたい！と思い立ち参加させて頂きましが
本当に行くべきですね！
参加させていただいた日は天候もよく、夕陽も星もよく見えました。
高度順応のために立ち寄るセンターも、ヒマラヤ山脈とマウナケアでしか生息していない
silver swords(銀剣草）という銀色の植物を見ることができます。運よくこれいがいにお花が咲いている銀剣草も見られました。４年？に一度しか咲かないそうでとても珍しいそうです。
フキノトウに似ていたので写真を撮らなかったのですが、撮ればよかったです。
（画像は咲く前の状態です）
また頂上までには、すばる天文台や、赤土の山などなかなか珍しい景色や場所も見ることができます。天候によっては最後の星空解説の際に写真を撮るとキラウエアの赤い炎も見ることができます。　富士山登山経験があれば、こんなに楽に高い場所までこれるなんて行くしかない！って感じです。素晴らしかったです！

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

Fabulous Tour

Reviewed by: Kathy

My sister and I went on this tour with Jim Carey as our guide. We were picked up right from our hotel and then were gone all day. Jim was extremely knowledgeable about the Island of Hawaii as well as the folklore of the Hawaiian culture. It was fun to hear about all of the history of Hawaii and learn about the sites we were seeing, with such depth of knowledge that Jim brought. We stopped at Rainbow Falls (no rainbow, but the falls were wonderful). One aspect we both enjoyed a lot was going through one of the lava tubes near the volcano!

The lunch and dinner provided was excellent, we both enjoyed it. The whole tour was long - and by the end of the day we were tired, however we would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about Hawaii and see many different sites along the way. Before heading back to the hotel we saw the lava glow located near the Jagger Museum, which was amazing to view at night. We had a great day!

I went! The Mauna Kea Summit Sunset Tour! It was amazing!! 行ってきました！マウナケア山頂サンセットツアー！最高でした！！

Reviewed by: Hide&Keiko

I felt a bit anxious about participating since we were going over 4000 meters at the summit of Mauna Kea, but thanks to our guide Matt's careful attention, I was able to enjoy the experience without any troubles and bring home wonderful memories!

After being picked up at the hotel, we set off towards Mauna Kea with a total of 10 people. At first, I was a bit taken aback by Matt's high energy, but his cheerful chants of "yoisho, korasho, dokkoisho" were quite delightful, and before we knew it, we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center while enjoying the scenery from the car window. Here, we had an early dinner with warm miso soup and a bento box. After a break for altitude acclimatization, we headed to the summit.

That day, we were fortunate with the weather; it wasn't as cold as I had expected. Still, I was grateful for the down jacket and gloves that were provided. The sunset, with the sun sinking and changing the colors of the horizon's gradient, was a breathtaking sight from the 4000-meter summit.

The stargazing afterward was also enjoyable, and we were able to see Jupiter and the moon through a telescope with explanations. I was once again impressed by the flow of the tour, which highlighted unique points, the sense of security, and the professional guidance with photo opportunities and constellation explanations.

Thank you, Matt, for a truly enjoyable experience. If you visit the Big Island, I absolutely recommend the sunset at Mauna Kea; it offers a breathtaking view that you can't experience through shopping or dining. Aloha!!

マウナケア山頂4000ｍ越えということで、多少の不安を感じての参加でしたが、ガイドのまっちゃんの細かい配慮のおかげでトラブルもなく楽しく感動の思い出を持ち帰る事ができました！

　ホテルへお迎え後、総勢10名でマウナケアへ向けて出発。まっちゃんのハイテンションに最初は少し引いたものの「よいしょ、こらしょ、どっこいしょ」の掛け声が何とも愉快で、車窓の景色を楽しみながら、あっという間にオニヅカビジターセンター到着。
ここでは温かいお味噌汁とお弁当で早めの夕食。高度順応をかねて休憩後山頂へ。
この日は天候にも恵まれ思っていたほど寒くなく、それでも貸してもらえる上下セットのダウンや手袋帽子はありがたかったです。
沈んでゆく太陽の光が地平線のグラデーションの色を刻々とかえてゆくサンセット。
4000Mの山頂からみるサンセットはまさに息をのむ光景でした。
その後の星空観察も楽しく、美しい星空も望遠鏡で木星、月面を解説付きで見せて頂きました。

ツアーならではのポイントをおさえた流れと安心感に加えて写真撮影、星座解説などプロのガイドだなぁと改めて感心しました。
ガイドのまっちゃん、ありがとう、本当に楽しめましたよ。
ハワイ島に来たらマウナケアのサンセット絶対おすすめです、ショッピングや食事では味わえない心に残る光景が広がっています。
Aloha!!

ドルフィン・クエスト　イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実！キッズ向けプログラム＜ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内＞

If you're looking for interactions with dolphins, there are other programs available as well. イルカとのふれあいなら他のプラグラムでも

Reviewed by: まかろんママ

A 9-year-old child participated. I chose this program because it was safe with shallow interactions for kids and I thought it would also help with English learning. However, in the first half, there was a long quiz about aquatic creatures while showing pictures indoors, and my child, who doesn't understand English well, seemed to dislike being mixed in with native children. On the other hand, the time spent in the dolphin pool was somewhat longer, and in the end, my child said it was fun. However, it seems that in other programs, groups with many children were also having shallow interactions, so perhaps those programs would have been better.

9歳の子供が参加しました。子供向けで浅いところでふれあいなので安心だし、英語の勉強にもなると思い、こちらを選びましたが、前半、室内で絵を見せながら水の生き物に関するクイズが長く続いて、ネイティブの子供の中に一人交じって英語もよくわからないので嫌そうでした。ただイルカのプールにいる時間は若干長く、最後は楽しかったと話していました。ただ他のプログラムでも子供が多いグループは浅いところでふれあいをしていたようなので、他のプログラムの方がよかったかも。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

great experience

Reviewed by: Peter Long

We went to the top, little lightheaded but no big deal. The stop at the lower altitude helps. Dinner was fun, just like going out camping, no frills, you get your portion and you eat it. Lasagna was actually very tasty, not overcooked, then back into the van( very comfortable), and up we go.

The summit was surreal, enveloped in the mist and clouds with large telescopes all around. We did not see the sunset because of the clouds. But it was still a great experience. We also had bad luck with star watching despite our driver's best efforts. At the end we were told that we will get a full refund minus our food ( $19). That was what convince me that the company stood behind its word. I plan to take the same trip as soon as I get back, and I will. I believe that given all the variables every trip is unique and worth taking. It was a great experience, we felt well taken care of and completely safe. Good job Veltra and our guide and driver Greg. Thank you.

I was very satisfied! 大満足でした！

Reviewed by: みー。

It was a breeze to reach the summit while chatting with Mr. Kunisaki in the car, even though I was worried I might get car sick!

It was so much fun and became a lifelong memory. The sunset and the starry sky were incredible! Also, the delicious bento and warm miso soup (with green onions!) were great.

The warm tea and cookies we enjoyed under the starry sky overflowed with everyone’s hospitality!!

I’m so glad I went to Hawaii Island for my first overseas trip with my mother!

Thank you for the wonderful memories.

I’ll look for "Summer Love Triangle" in Japan too (laughs).

Also, the honey that Mr. Kunisaki recommended was super delicious! I only bought two, but I wish I had bought more (^ - ^).

お迎えの車から、国東さんと話しっぱなして、車酔いするかな？と思っていた山頂まであっという間でした！

凄く楽しく、一生の思い出になりました。
あんな夕日と、満天の星空！
あと、美味しかったお弁当&温かい味噌汁(ネギ入り！)

星空の下で頂いた、温かい紅茶とクッキー
皆さんの、おもてなしの気持ちが溢れていました！！

初めての母との海外旅行、ハワイ島に行って良かったです！

素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

日本でも「夏の三角関係 」探してみます(笑)

あと、国東さんがオススメしてくれたはちみつスッゴク美味しかったです！
二個しか買わなかったけど、爆買すれば良かったなー(^-^)

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

Great day for a ride

Reviewed by: Michele

It rained half the way the pickup spot to the valley so we were worried that we weren't going to get to go. But as it turned out 15 minutes after we got there the sun came out the clouds went away and it turned out to be a beautiful day in the valley we had a great ride. We got to cross rivers and streams and see beautiful waterfalls. Our horses were well-mannered and everyone in our group had a wonderful ride. Our guides were very knowledgeable about valley and the history. This is my second trip riding in this Valley and I would do it again

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

"A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN PARIDISE"

Reviewed by: Michele

We stared the day with a happy welcome from our guide and driver Jim. He had been a truck driver for most of his life so I felt very comfortable with his driving. From the very start to the end of the day Jim regaled us with his knowledge of the history, biology, geology, stories, songs and politics of this beautiful island. Our first stop was lunch at a pretty park. Lunch was delicious and healthy. We saw waterfalls, volcanos, steam vents and many different types of wild animals. We took an afternoon coffee break at the Big Island Candies shop where we enjoyed a free cup of Kona coffee and tasted many samples of the best cookies. Of course I had to buy at least one box. That evening we ate dinner and had drinks at a nice old lodge by the volcano. We enjoyed the company of the other guests. We all agreed dinner was great. The clouds had cleared and we were able to see the errie red glow of the lava and did some star gazing with Jim's high powered binoculars. The air was chilly up on the mountain and Jim made us hot chocolate and coffee to warm us up. On the way back to our hotels we watched a very interesting video of the history of the volcano with many amazing close up shots of inside and lava flows. It turned out to be a wonderful day and my husband and I agreed we were glad we went and it was worth every penny.

Captain Zodiac キャプテン・ゾディアック号

Reviewed by: hidezumi

Other than my spouse and I, everyone was American, and it was a bit difficult to understand the conversation, which was disappointing. However, the captain drove the boat like a roller coaster, and it was thrilling and fun. We saw a lot of dolphins, and I was happy to see a whale as well. I think this was a very satisfying and memorable optional tour.

私達夫婦以外はアメリカ人で、会話が分り難く、その辺りは残念でしたが、キャプテンがボートをジェットコースターのように運転してくれて、スリリングで楽しかった。イルカも沢山見れたし、クジラが見れたのは嬉しかった。
大満足の記憶に残るオプショナルツアーと思います。

I was able to enjoy the dynamic sunset and starry sky on the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島のダイナミックな夕日と星空を堪能できました！

Reviewed by: まきゆか

During the drive from the pickup location to Mauna Kea, we listened to the guide's explanations and interesting stories, making the long journey enjoyable. We had dinner at the Onizuka Visitor Center, where they provided miso soup, creating a warm and comforting moment. It was quite cold near the summit of Mauna Kea, but they lent us warm clothing, allowing us to take our time and enjoy the sunset. The weather was great, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset from the best spot; it was the most stunning sunset I have ever witnessed.

After the sun set, we descended to about 3,500 meters and enjoyed stargazing. The guide mentioned that since it was the day after a new moon, we could see stars up to magnitude 6, which is usually difficult to see. Starting with the North Star and the Big Dipper, we explored the twelve zodiac constellations, the Southern Cross, and the winter Milky Way, with the guide providing detailed explanations using a laser pointer while incorporating Greek mythology. Here, we were served warm tea and chocolate chip cookies, which helped warm our chilled bodies as we enjoyed the beautiful starry sky. Thank you to our guide, Matsuzaki-san, for this wonderful experience!

ピックアップ場所からマウナケアまでの車内でもガイドの方の説明や、面白い話を聞き、長旅ではあったが、楽しい道中でした。オニズカビジターセンターにて夕食のお弁当。お味噌汁なども用意されており、ほっと温まる時間でした。マウナケア山頂付近はかなり冷えていましたが、防寒着を上下貸してくれたので、ゆっくりと夕日を見ることができました。天気も良く、美しい夕日をベストスポットで見ることができ、今までで見たサンセットで1番美しい景色でした。
日が沈んでから山を3500m程のところまで降り、星空鑑賞をしました。 この日は新月の翌日で普段は難しい6等星まで見えるとガイドの方がおっしゃっていました。 北極星と北斗七星から始まり黄道12星座、南十字星、冬の天の川などギリシャ神話を交えながらレザーポインターを使って丁寧に説明して下さいました。ここでは温かい紅茶とチョコレートチップクッキーが振る舞われ、冷えた身体を暖めながら美しい星空を堪能できました。今回お世話になったガイドの松崎さん、ありがとうございました！

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Definitely worth participating. 参加する価値あり

Reviewed by: マリー

While searching for a snorkeling tour on the Big Island, I discovered this tour. The tagline "Thrilling Rafting Adventure" caught my attention, and I checked the details, which seemed quite intense! I decided to participate, looking forward to ocean rafting more than snorkeling. After arriving on the Big Island, I had the hotel’s travel desk call to confirm my participation and get detailed meeting location information. On the day of the tour, I drove to Honokohau Marina, which was easier to find than I expected, and I arrived without getting lost. Once all the participants gathered, it was time to board. Before that, the captain asked me, "Where are you from? Do you speak English?" I replied, "A little." The entire tour was in English, and it seemed like the captain and staff were not particularly inclined to communicate more than necessary with participants who were not native English speakers. By the way, the introduction mentioned that "the captain would provide a written translation of the spot descriptions in Japanese before boarding, so you can enjoy the activities without a language barrier!" However, nothing was provided, and the tour started. As we set off, the boat gradually picked up speed, and the bouncing over the waves became more pronounced. I was excited to see how fast we would go. There was a rope stretched across the floor to prevent anyone from falling through, and I sat on the edge of the boat, holding onto the rope, feeling the wind, sunlight, and the blue sea directly—it was incredibly liberating! I wanted to keep going like this forever! But my backside was hurting! (laughs) A note for women: the shorts worn over a bikini sit right under your backside when you sit on the edge of the boat, and with each bounce, the back of your thighs rub against it. I recommend wearing knee-length pants. Also, they advised us to remove hats and towels to prevent them from flying away, so be sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly. At the snorkeling point, snacks, juice, and sandwiches were provided, and you could relax and eat on the boat or quickly eat and float in the sea. The coastal cliffs were breathtakingly spectacular. There might be a stronger sense of being out of place due to the few Japanese participants, but those who don’t mind can enjoy themselves thoroughly.

ハワイ島でのシュノーケリングツアーを探していると、このツアーを発見。「スリル満点のラフティングアドベンチャー」のうたい文句に引かれて詳細を確認、結構激しいらしい♪シュノーケリングよりもオーシャンラフティングに期待を膨らませて参加することに。ハワイ島に到着後、参加確認の電話をホテルの旅行会社のデスクからかけてもらい、詳しい集合位置を教えてもらう。当日はレンタカーでホノコハウ・マリーナへ。思ったよりわかりやすい場所で迷うことなく到着。ツアー参加者が揃うといよいよ乗船。その前に船長から「どこから来た？英語できる？」と聞かれ「少しね」と答える。ツアー中は全て英語、船長やスタッフにゆっくり話したり、英語が母国語ではない参加者と必要以上のコミュニケーションを取ろうという気はなさそう。ちなみに「キャプテンが英語で語るスポットの説明などを日本語に翻訳した文章を乗船前に渡してくれるので、言葉の壁なくアクティビティをお楽しみいただけます！」と紹介文にあったが、特に何もないままツアースタート。出港すると徐々にボートの速度が上がり、波を越える際のバウンドも大きくなる。どこまで速くなるのかワクワク。足元の床にロープが張ってあり、足の指を通して落ちないようにする。ボートの淵に腰かけて、ロープにつかまっているだけなので、風も、陽の光も、海の青も全てダイレクトに感じて解放感抜群！ずーっとこのまま進んで行きたい！！けどお尻が痛い！！(笑)女性の方への注意事項としては、ビキニの上に履く短パン、ボートの淵に腰かけた時にちょうどお尻の下にきて、バウンドする度に太ももの裏が擦れます。膝丈くらいのパンツを履くことをおススメします。あと、帽子やタオルは飛ばないように外してと言われるので、日焼け止めは厳重に。シュノーケリングポイントではスナックやジュース、サンドイッチが配られて、ボート上でのんびり食べてもいいし、さっさと食べてひたすら海に浮いていてもよし。断崖絶壁の海岸線は迫力満点の絶景。参加者に日本人が少ないとアウェイ感は強めかもしれないけど、気にしない人は十分に楽しめるかと。

The moon was dazzling. 月がまぶしかった

Reviewed by: せいちゃん

I joined a tour to see the starry sky. Since I don't have much knowledge about astronomy and I'm not confident in my physical strength, I chose the sunset option instead of the sunrise. The summit was above the sea of clouds, and thanks to that, I was able to see a wonderful sunset.

At the Onizuka Center along the way, I had an early bento, borrowed warm clothing, and was able to acclimate to the high altitude. It was very cold near the summit, but it was great that this tour provided separate warm clothing for the upper and lower body.

Since the time at the summit was limited, we did the stargazing on the way down at a small clearing. The Canopus, which I saw for the first time, was truly magnificent. However, I participated in mid-March when the first quarter moon was directly overhead, making it very bright, and I was unfortunately unable to see the nearby stars. Next time, I would like to come in the summer during the new moon to see the Milky Way.

満天の星を見たくツアーに参加しました。
天文知識がなく体力に自信もないことからサンライズでなくサンセットを選択しました。
頂上は雲海を抜けたところにあり、おかげさまですばらしいサンセットを見ることができました。
途中の鬼塚センターで、早めの弁当をいただき、防寒着を借り、十分高地になれることができ、ました。
頂上付近はとても寒かったですが、このツアーでは上下別々の防寒着を借りられたので良かったです。
頂上にいられる時間が制限されているということで、星空観測は降りる途中、少しの空き地で行いました。
初めて見たカノープスはとても素晴らしかった。
ただ参加したのは３月の中旬で上弦の月でが真上にあり、とてもまぶしく、近辺の星が見られず大変残念でした。
次回は夏の新月に天の川を見にきたいと思います。
