Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Terrific evening on Mauna Kea

Reviewed by: Richard

My wife and I took this tour on April 7. The day was fairly cloudy with some showers so we were concerned we wouldn't enjoy the full experience. We were wrong.
Our guide Jim was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
The tour itself was great, from the information delivered during the ride there, the amazing sunset at almost 14,000 feet and some terrific stargazing through their own telescope with excellent info to help you understand what you were looking at.
The food was ok, brownie excellent.
Overall we would highly recommend this tour.

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 was an amazing experience! ★ 感動!の体験でした★

Reviewed by: Winchan

I participated in a tour on March 27, 2016 (Sunday). It was a truly wonderful experience. I was very worried about the weather since the day before had been filled with heavy rain and thunderstorms, but on this day, it was sunny from the morning, which raised my expectations.

The guide for the day was "Macchan." He was very cheerful, full of interesting topics, and had exceptional photography skills. He guided us with a smile and energy without interruption until the end, and thanks to the great weather and this wonderful guide, I believe I had a precious and fantastic experience.

During the journey to the summit, he explained about the town, flora and fauna, and lava, and we had time to stop for commemorative photos. With the guide's camera, as well as the cameras of participants, we were able to switch quickly between great angles and shooting styles (flash, balance, etc.) with impressive skills, allowing participants to take not only selfies but also various wonderful photos.

Furthermore, with the guide's high-performance DSLR camera, we were able to capture the starry sky and group photos that couldn't be taken with digital cameras or smartphones, and they were made available for download from the web.

In addition to the beauty of the sunset and starry sky, the warm bento, miso soup, and tea we had during the altitude acclimatization time, this was the first tour where participants were continuously taken care of without interruption. Above all, I believe the greatness of this tour is supported by the guide.

I was glad I chose this tour because they provided cold-weather gear for everyone. Although there was a prior notice about preparing for the cold, at the summit of Mauna Kea, the cold and strong winds made my long sleeves, fleece jacket, and pants completely inadequate. Being able to put on the cold-weather jacket and overalls, along with a hat and gloves, during the acclimatization time was a great help.

On this day, the wind speed at the summit was 20 m/s (typhoon level). Many people had smartphones, but when operating the smartphone screen, it was necessary to take off gloves, which made my fingertips freeze and was quite painful. I recommend gloves that are responsive to touch, which can be found at 100 yen shops (like Daiso).

Despite the strong winds, the sunset reflecting on the sea visible below the sea of clouds was magnificent. Here too, the guide carefully adjusted the position of the vehicle to provide wind protection while quickly taking photos of everyone (it was full of surprises).

His claim that he could operate most cameras was not a lie.

The subsequent stargazing was also fantastic. During the preparation, we listened to songs related to the stars in the warm vehicle (which was very enjoyable), and when we got out of the car, we were greeted by a sky full of stars. It was said that stars up to magnitude 6 were visible, and we could see the Milky Way.

Just when I thought we would finish with commemorative photos and appreciation, there was a detailed explanation interwoven with stories about the constellations. The clear explanations using a laser pointer were truly moving.

In addition to the sky full of stars, we also saw satellites and shooting stars, which was another emotional experience.

I learned that depending on the time of the full moon or moonrise, stars may not be visible, and there are various conditions to consider. It is actually better to research properly in advance and think about whether to join a sunrise tour or a sunset tour. I was really lucky this time.

There were many fortunate aspects, and I was moved by the sunset and starry sky, and above all, I was grateful to the guide for this day.

2016年3月27日(日)のツアーに参加しました。とても素晴らしい体験でした。
前々日が土砂降りの雨と雷ピカピカ、の後だったので、天候をとても心配していましたがこの日は朝から晴れていい天気で、期待が高まりました。

この日のガイドは「まっちゃん」。 とても明るく話題豊富で、カメラの腕前がまさに「凄腕」の方でした。解散まで途切れることなくにこやかに元気に楽しくガイドをしていただき、天候に加えて、このすばらしいガイドさんのおかげで、貴重な素敵な体験ができたと思っています。

山頂への移動の間に町や動植物、溶岩の話が次々と説明され、途中下車して記念写真の時間がありました。ガイドさんのカメラの他に、参加者が持っているカメラで、次々といいアングルと撮影スタイル（フラッシュ、その他バランスなど）に一瞬で切り替えて撮る「スゴ技！」で、参加者は自撮りだけでなく、様々な素晴らしい写真をも手に入れることができました。

さらに、ガイドさんの高性能一眼レフカメラでは、デジカメやスマホでは撮影できない星空や、集合写真などを撮影して、Webからダウンロードできるようにしてくれる充実ぶりです。

夕日と星空の素晴らしさに加えて、写真、途中の高度順応の時間に食べる温かいお弁当、味噌汁、お茶など、これほどに間断なく参加者の世話をしてくれるツアーは初めてです。何より、このツアーの素晴らしさを支えているのはガイドさんだと思います。

このツアーを選んで良かったのは、防寒具を全員分用意してあることでした。
事前に防寒の用意の案内はありましたが、マウナケア山頂では寒さと強風で、自分が用意した長袖、フリース上着、ズボンでは全く歯が立たない程で、防寒用の上着とツナギズボンに帽子や手袋を、高山病対策の滞在時間を利用して着込むことができたのは、助かりました。

この日の山頂は風速20M(台風並み)。多くの方がスマートフォンを持っていましたが、スマートフォンの画面を操作する時は手袋をとる必要があり、指先が凍えて辛かったです。
100円SHOP（ダ●ソー）で指が反応する手袋を売っているのでお勧めです。

強風の中でしたが、雲海の下に見える海(!)に夕日が映って、素晴らしい夕日でした。
ここでもガイドさんは車の位置を細かく調整して風よけを考えてくれて、その一方で相変わらずの素早さでみなさんの写真を撮っていました。(びっくりすることばかりです)

たいていのカメラの操作はできますとの言葉に嘘はありませんでした。

その後の星空観測も素晴らしかったです。
準備の間は星にちなんだ曲を温かい車内で聞かせてもらい(とても楽しかった)、車を降りると、満天の星空。6等星まで見えていたとのことです。天の川が見えました。

記念撮影や、鑑賞して終わりと思いきや、星座の物語を交えた詳しい解説がありました。レーザーポンイターを使ったとてもわかり易い説明は、感動モノでした。

満天の星に加え、人工衛星、流れ星なども観られ、これまた感動。

そして、満月や月の出の時間によっては星が見えないとか、いろいろな条件があることがわかりました。 本当は事前にちゃんと調べて、日の出のツアーに参加するか、夕日のツアーに参加するかを考えるのが良いのだそうです。 今回は本当にラッキーでした。

運が良かった部分も多く、夕日と星空に感動、そして何よりガイドさんに感謝する一日でした。

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

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Daniel Ruymann

We just returned from Kona, Hawaii and had the opportunity to participate in 3 excursions from different operators. Our tour, specifically our tour guide, Jim Carey, was life changing. His knowledge, passion and enthusiasm made for a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget. From Jim's storytelling, songs, narratives of the Hawaiian culture and history, throughout our 12 hour adventure that included stops at Rainbow Falls, Big Island Candies, Mauna Loa, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park (with afternoon and evening viewings), hikes through lava tunnels, a fine dining experience, topped by an amazing stargazing experience, I was inspired by Jim Carey, which serves as a testament to the caliber of talent that Kailani Tour employees. I would highly recommend this tour and in particular, any tour with Jim Carey. I am blessed to have gone on this journey with him as our tour guide. Bravo to Jim and Kailani Tours.

Reviewed by: lucy

The explanation was interesting, and they took photos, making for great memories. Since both telescopes were fully booked, I only got a brief glimpse of Jupiter, but the view from the summit was very clear with little wind. I'm glad I joined the tour, as I'm not very good at driving and it would have been uncertain if I could have made it to the summit on my own.

説明も面白く、写真も撮ってくれて良い思い出になりました。
２台満席でしたので、望遠鏡は木星１つだけをちらっと見るだけでしたが、山頂で風も少なく、とても綺麗に見ることができました。
あの山頂は、運転の苦手な自分ではたどり着けるかも危ういのでツアーに参加して良かったです。

There were six of us, two of us and four travelers from China. The pilot was a handsome young American man. Although he spoke in English, he really got us excited. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn't see the lava flow that we were looking forward to. However, we received a refund for that, so I would like to try again next time. The helicopter tour got us close enough to reach Waipi'o Valley, which was thrilling.

中国の旅行客4人と私たち2人の6人の客でした。パイロットはイケメンの若いアメリカ人の方でした。英語でしたが、私たちを盛り上げてくれました。天候が悪く、楽しみにしていた溶岩流は見ることができませんでした。でも、その分、返金していただけたので、次回またチャレンジしてみたいと思いました。ヘリコプター遊覧は、ワイピオ渓谷に手が届くくらいの距離まで近づけて、興奮しました。

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

THIS TOUR COVERS IT ALL!!!! SUPERB!!!!

Reviewed by: nwc

The booking process so easy – one simple phone call. The tour provides lunch, dinner, snacks, EVERYTHING you’ll need.

Jim Carey was our guide, and was EXCELLENT in EVERY WAY. “Uncle Jim” was very accommodating and went out of his way to ensure guests were comfortable. We were amazed at Jim’s knowledge of island history & Hawaiian culture. As we traveled, Jim educated us on island facts, myths, and legend. He recounted many great tales of Hawaiian lore,with enthusiasm and energy. Jim loves his job and entertaining his guests.

The tour began with a trip to Mauna Kea and picnic lunch. After, we headed to Hilo and stopped at a lava field. Next stops were Rainbow Falls, Kamehameha Statue and Big Island Candies for a snack. After Hilo, we went to Volcanoes National Park while Jim told us history of the island’s volcanoes. Jim is as much a geologist as tour guide. We pulled over to see “steam vents”, and then to the viewing area and the Volcano Museum and gift shop.

On the way to dinner, we stopped at the Thurston Lava Tube. The tube was well lit, but Jim made sure we were armed with flashlights. We exited through a “skylight” and made our way back.

We ate at the Kilauea Lodge, a quaint restaurant. Meal was top-notch. Back to Volcanoes Park at dark. Jim had high-powered binoculars and we viewed spewing lava. The temp dropped, and Jim was ready w/hot chocolate.

We made one last stop to do some stargazing. For someone who had never viewed the stars in the blackened sky of Hawaii, I was astounded. The sky was FULL of stars – thousands of them that I’ve never seen before. It was like visiting a planetarium, in real life.

In conclusion, we highly recommend this excursion for anyone interested in a comprehensive tour that covers everything you would want to see on the Big Island, in one feature-packed day. If Jim is available, as for him by name. He was the best tour guide we’ve ever had – on any tour, on any island, country or continent.

I participated in the Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. マウナケア山頂サンセット星空観測ツアーに参加して

Reviewed by: 角岡憲次

I participated in the sunset stargazing with my wife. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the night sky. Our main goal was to climb a mountain over 4000 meters high, and it was supposed to be an easy drive. We talked about how this would probably be the greatest experience of our lives.

I've been to the Big Island many times, but this was my first time joining a tour. I always had a sense of admiration for the majestic Mauna Kea visible from our resort hotel room, but my wife had slightly high blood pressure, so we had given up on climbing it.

However, my wife insisted that she wanted to see the sunset or sunrise from Mauna Kea, so we decided to sign up for Masashi Nature School, where they speak Japanese. The plan was for the sunset stargazing on March 30. However, that day the summit was closed, and we rescheduled for April 1. I was truly impressed by their sincere response to this situation. The itinerary was also very enjoyable, and our driver and instructor, Matsuchan (Mr. Matsuzaki), had a personality that eased our minds.

At the intermediate point, Onizuka, we acclimated our bodies to the high altitude for about an hour. There, we had an early dinner. A proper Japanese bento with miso soup was served, which was also wonderful. We changed into ski wear here.

We were just a little further from the summit. The road turned to dirt, and we climbed powerfully in a four-wheel drive vehicle. We finally arrived at the longed-for summit. It was still quite bright, so I took the opportunity to use the restroom.

The view was breathtaking. I took many photos, and it started to get colder. We admired the stunning sunset alongside the Subaru Telescope from Japan. This alone was fantastic, but the real excitement was yet to come. Once it got completely dark, we descended to the stargazing point and waited in the car for a while. This was the key moment. Once the staff was ready, we stepped outside.

What a sight it was! From directly beside us to straight above, it was a night sky unlike anything I had ever seen. The thin air seemed to invite us to the stars. The main instructor, Matsuchan, gave an amazing explanation of the constellations! He used a laser pointer to make it very easy to understand.

The Big Dipper was huge and immediately recognizable. I have astigmatism and my eyesight is a bit poor, but I didn't mind it at all. The emotion of seeing these stars is indescribable, which is frustrating, but I can only say it was simply wonderful.

It was a tour I would want to join again and again.

サンセット星空観測に妻と二人で参加しました。
正直、星空はそれほど期待していなかったのです。目的は4000m以上の山に登ることでした。それも車で簡単に、、、。生涯で最大の経験だろうと、妻と語り合っていました。
何度もハワイ島へは来ているのですがツアーに参加したのは初めてです。リゾートホテルの部屋から見えるマウナケアの雄大な姿にいつも憧れのような感情がありましたが、妻が少し血圧が高く登るのは諦めていました。
しかし妻がどうしてもマウナケアからの夕陽か朝日が見たいと言うので、思い切って日本語の通じるマサシネイチャーズスクールに申し込みました。
予定は３月３０日の夕日星空観測です。
ところがその日は山頂がクローズ、４月１日に変更しました。この対応も実に誠実に対応していただき感激しました。また行程の案内も実に楽しく松ちゃん(松崎さんと云うドライバー兼インストラクター)の人柄がこちらの気持ちを和らげてくれます。
中継地点onizukaで約一時間体を高地に慣らします。そこで早めの夕食です。まともな日本食弁当が味噌汁付きで出てきました。これも素晴らしい。
ここでスキーウェアーに着替えます。
山頂まではあと少しです。途中からダートに変わり四輪駆動で力強く登ります。
憧れの山頂に到着です。まだかなり明るく、この間にトイレを済ませます。
絶景です。沢山写真撮りました。そしてどんどん寒くなってきました。
日本のスバル電波望遠鏡と共に夕日の絶景を眺めました。これだけでも素晴らしいのですが、実は本当の感動はこれからでした。辺りがすっかり暗くなったころ星空観測の地点まで降ります。しばし車内で待機。これがポイントです。スタッフによって準備完了、車外へ。
何ということでしょう。(ビフォーアフターの様に)
真横から真上まで至る所、今まで見たことのない星空です。薄い空気が降るような星へと誘ってくれます。
メインのインストラクター、松ちゃんの星座解説がまた素晴らしい!
レーザーポインターで実にわかりやすく解説してくれました。
北斗七星デカいです。すぐ分かりました。私は乱視で目が少し悪いのですが全く目のことは気になりませんでした。この星を見れた感動は言葉では表せないのがなんとも歯がゆいのですが、ただただ素晴らしいと
言っておきましょう。
何度も行きたくなるツアーでした。

Fantastic trip to the Wet Side!

Reviewed by: JenNMikeY

My husband and I enjoyed this trip immensely! Since we were staying on the opposite side of the island from the Volcanoes National Park and Hilo, this was a great way to see it all without having to spend half the day driving. The hotel pick-up was a nice added convenience. Taking the tour allowed us to just sit back in comfort and enjoy the sights and the company of some really nice people who took the tour with us.

The van was comfy and spacious, and the group is limited to 14 guests, so we were never lost in a crowd. Our tour guide, Chris, was a joy to spend time with. He knew the island quite well, from the top of the mountain to the waterfalls, the lava tube and all of the interesting sights that were covered on the tour. He showed a genuine interest ad knowledge of all of the places we visited, and delivered commentary with a great sense of humor thrown in - he was never boring! He was familiar enough with the tour and our expectations that he was able to adapt the schedule just enough to accommodate the changes in island weather - namely rain - on the wet side of the island. He even provided umbrellas and flashlights for exploring after the sun went down.

The trip included a Fantastic dinner at a lodge near the Park. This alone was almost worth the time and cost of the tour! We were lucky enough to be seated with Chris during dinner and found him to be very personable. I could have spent hours just enjoying our conversations. Chris is perfectly suited to run this type of tourism business, and has created a tour that is just different enough from other tours to make it stand out!

I would absolutely recommend this tour to others. Thanks for a great time on the Big Island!

It was so much fun that I couldn't even find the right moment to get back on the boat, and the captain had to call us for a break... But we jumped back in right away.

The tour was great. We started by being picked up a local shopping center and then driving north. On our way, our tour guild spotted whales jumping off the coast and pulled over so we could watch. An extra bonus. We then picked up the rest of the guest and went over the mountain. Chris, our tour guild was a wealth of information and gave a great discussion of Hawaii and the different things that we saw. After stopping for lunch, which was basic but good, we went to Hilo for a tour and then on to the National park. Chris took us to a couple of sites not normally seen by tourist which was great. He also took us to the volcano tubes which was really interesting. He timed the tour so we had the whole tube to ourselves, which was really neat. We then went to dinner at a very nice place. The food was great, especially the fish. After dinner we went to the volcano and since it was night we got to see the lava light up the back ground. Chris helped us take pictures which are already posted on Facebook. After that we headed back. I would recommend this tour, especially Chris, for anyone who wanted to see the volcanoes and learn about the Island of Hawaii.

We encountered a magnificent sea of clouds and quickly arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center. Although it was an early dinner, the warm miso soup was included, and it was incredibly delicious—I even had a second helping. Finally, we were at the summit of Mauna Kea. Being able to drive up to the 4,205-meter peak felt like a dream for the elderly couple. I didn't mind the thin air at all. I was prepared for the strong winds, but I appreciated the thoughtful provision of warm clothing, hats, and gloves. Our guide's professional camera skills prompted me to strike a pose as if I were jumping over the sun. I jumped! I really did! We captured some great photos! The reflection of the sunset created a pink and blue scene that I had never seen in Japan. Next, we drove to a stargazing spot, where the warm drinks and cookies we had were also very tasty. The starry sky was absolutely stunning, and a shooting star fell right in front of us. The guide explained the constellations clearly using a laser pointer. My daughter and her husband participated in the sunrise tour on the same day and were equally impressed, so I hope to join the sunrise tour next time. I would love to rely on your services again then. My satisfaction level was 100%.

昼過ぎの迎えのバンに乗りガイドのマッチャンの楽しい案内を聞き、素晴らしい雲海と出会いあっという間にオニズカビジターセンターに着きました。早い夕食ではありましたが、温かい味噌汁も付き、そこで頂くお味噌汁は最高に美味しくておかわりまでしてしまいました。いよいよマウナケア山頂です。4,205ｍの山頂まで車で登れるとは、老夫婦にとっては夢のようでした。空気が薄くなるのも私は全然気になりませんでした。風が強いのは覚悟の上でしたが、防寒着、帽子と手袋まで気配りが嬉しかったです。また、ガイドさんのプロ並みのカメラさばきに、思わず太陽を飛び越えるポーズ。飛びました。飛びましたよ！！しっかり写真にもおさめてもらいました！太陽が沈んだ後の反射でピンクとブルー色の光景は日本では見たことがないものでした。次に星空スポットへ車で移動し、そこでいただいた温かい飲み物とクッキーもとても美味しかったです。素晴らしい満天の星空でした。流れ星も目の前に落ちました。星座についてもレーザーポインターを使いながら分りやすく説明してくれました。娘夫婦が同じ日のサンライズツアーに参加し同様に感激していたので、次はサンライズツアーに参加できればと思っています。その時はまたお世話になりたいと思います。満足度100％でした。
