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 became a memory. 思い出になりました

Reviewed by: アトム

I participated with my in-laws and husband. The weather wasn't great on the day, but we were able to see a beautiful sunset at the summit. We also got to see the starry sky when the clouds cleared, and I was very moved to confirm the Milky Way. Our guide, Macchan, was bright and funny, which made it enjoyable for everyone. We took a lot of photos, and I was very happy to have starry sky pictures that I couldn't take myself. The winter clothing provided was also more substantial compared to other tour companies, so I would like to recommend this tour to others.

義父母と旦那と4人で参加しました。当日は天候が優れなかったのですが、頂上でのサンセットは綺麗に見ることが出来ました。星空も雲が切れたタイミングで見ることが出来、天の川も確認出来たのでとても感動しました。案内いただいた、まっちゃんが明るく面白く案内してくださるので皆で楽しめました。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、自分では撮れない星空写真はとても嬉しかったです。防寒着も他のツアー会社と違って重装備でしたのでこちらのツアーを周りにオススメしたいです。

Deluxe Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Hula Kai

Manta Ray Heaven!

Reviewed by: Flyin Simon

If you love the ocean and ocean wildlife, you will love this activity as a solo, couple or family. What a fun and exciting trip! Watching the Manta Rays was like watching an underwater ballet. I got some great video footage to capture the experience and to bring home. I did the snorkeling portion but I'm sure if you can scuba dive this would be even more fun! To top it off, they give you hot soup and hot chocolate afterwards! Great fun!

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

I am deeply moved. 感激

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

On April 28, I visited Mauna Kea for the first time in eight years. Last time, we reached the summit during the day, so this time, my husband and I participated to see the starry sky. Unfortunately, Mauna Kea was covered in clouds from below, which made me worry about how it would be, but our guide, Mino, cheerfully shared fun stories during the drive, easing my concerns.

The summit was indeed windy and cold, but the sunset was incredibly beautiful, and I felt it was worth participating. Additionally, the warm clothing provided made me feel comfortable and secure. Above all, I was impressed by Mino's detailed and easy-to-understand explanations about the stars. We also got to see the moon's craters and Saturn through a telescope, which was simply breathtaking.

I strongly want to participate again next time. Thank you, Mino!

4月28日に8年ぶりにマウナケアに行きました。
前回はお昼に登頂したので是非今回は満天の星を見ようと夫婦で参加させていただきました。
下から見るマウナケアは残念ながら雲がかかってどうなのかな…と心配になりましたが、ガイドのミノさんが道中の車の中で陽気に楽しい話をしてくれ大丈夫だと不安を吹き飛ばしてくれました。
本当に山頂は風もきつくて寒かったけど夕日はとてもきれいで参加してよかったなって実感しました。
また、準備していただいている防寒着も暖かく安心してすごせました。
何より、ミノさんの星に関する説明が詳しく分かり易くて感心しました、その他には望遠鏡で月のクレーター・土星を見せていただき、だたただ感動でした。
是非、次回にも参加したいな~と強く思いました。
ミノさん、ありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: TOMATO

It's been five years since I visited Mauna Kea. The road to Mauna Kea has been newly constructed, making it easy to arrive. I was worried about the clouds from below, but the weather at the summit was perfect with no wind, and the sunset was incredibly beautiful. During the stargazing, I was able to see many shooting stars and even got to see Saturn, which was moving. It was very healing. Thank you very much.

5年ぶりのマウナケア。マウナケアまでの道は道路が新しくできてスムーズに到着できました。下から見ると雲が心配だったのですが山頂は風もなくとてもいいお天気、サンセットも最高に綺麗でした。星空観測は流れ星もいっぱい見れたし、土星も見せていただいて感動でした。とっても癒されました。ありがとうございました。

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

I was able to swim happily with dolphins. イルカと仲良く泳げました

Reviewed by: コノハ

We participated as a family, including my 8-year-old daughter. Our tour guide, Daisuke, took great care of my daughter and ensured she had a wonderful experience swimming with the dolphins. Thanks to him, I was able to focus on swimming with the dolphins without worrying about anything else, even though I’m not a confident swimmer. We encountered a group of 17 dolphins. Each time they surfaced for air, I could see their eye patterns and skin texture incredibly clearly. I was truly moved by how close they swam to us.

Daisuke made sure that all participants were satisfied and allowed us to enjoy swimming with the dolphins, dropping us in the water 5 to 6 times. We had more fun than we imagined, and we even signed up for the night manta tour on the spot. This too was magical, as we got to see sparkling plankton and a large group of mantas up close, making it feel like a spacewalk.

Daisuke and Captain Nawata really made it enjoyable, and the time spent on the boat heading to the points became a wonderful memory.

I definitely want to participate again next time. My daughter was also very satisfied!

8歳の娘を含む家族で参加しました。ツアーガイドのダイスケさんは娘に付きっきりで面倒を見てくれて、娘にもしっかりイルカとの遊泳を体験させてくれました。おかげさまで、泳ぎに自信の無い私も自分の事だけに集中してイルカと泳ぐ事ができました。私達は17頭のイルカの群と遭遇しました。海中から息継ぎの度に海面に上がって来て、目のわまりの模様や、肌の質感が驚くほど鮮明に見えました。手が届くほど近くを泳ぐイルカの姿に、本当に感動しました。
参加メンバーが満足するまでキッチリ、イルカとの遊泳を楽しませてくれて、5〜6回もドロップしました。
想像以上に楽しませていただき、その場で夜のマンタツアーにも申し込みました。こちらも、ライティングされた海中でキラキラ光るプランクトンとホレホレの群れ、大きなマンタの舞いを至近距離で見られ、まるで宇宙遊泳のように幻想的でした。

ツアーガイドのダイスケさん、キャプテンの縄田船長が本当に楽しませてくれて、ボートでポイントに向かう間も素敵な思い出になりました。

次回も是非参加したいです。娘も大満足でした!

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>

Unexpectedly enjoyable. 予想外にエンジョイ

Reviewed by: 麻呂さん

As marine activity lovers, we requested this experience with a feeling of "it seems fun," and in the end, we were completely satisfied and enjoyed ourselves.

First of all, the staff was friendly and quickly created a relaxed atmosphere. The boat ride truly felt like "ocean rafting," with thrilling speed and dynamic steering that made it feel like an amusement park.

We were lucky enough to encounter a "pod of dolphins" and thoroughly enjoyed dolphin watching. The snorkeling exceeded our expectations, allowing us to see an incredible variety of "tropical fish."

We are grateful to the staff who kept us entertained beyond the scheduled time, and this was definitely an activity we would love to "visit again."

マリンアクティビティ大好きの私たちは、「なんとなく楽しそう」という気持ちでリクエストしましたが、結果的には大満足でエンジョイ出来ました。
先ず、スタッフがフレンドリーで直ぐに和やかな雰囲気を作ってくれ、ボートでまさしく「オーシャンラフティング」満喫のスピードとダイナミック操船で遊園地気分。
運良くだと思いますが、「イルカの群れ」に遭遇してイルカウオッチングを堪能、シュノーケリングも想像以上の「熱帯魚」を見る事が出来ました。
予定時間を超えて飽きる事無くエンジョイさせてくれたスタッフに感謝と、是非、また「遊びに訪れたい」と思ったアクティビティでした。

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

The world of The Little Mermaid... so moving! リトルマーメイドの世界。。。感動!

Reviewed by: chappy

I recently participated in this tour. I had no knowledge of manta rays at all before joining... but there were absolutely no problems! After getting on the boat, we received detailed explanations about the ecology of manta rays, Hawaiian language, and the Big Island. Of course, there was a Japanese guide with us, so I felt at ease. The captain was very cheerful and played the ukulele from the time we arrived until we started snorkeling. That moment during sunset was truly beautiful.

You can rent a wetsuit for $10 for snorkeling. Since you spend a long time in the water, I think this is essential. Plankton gathers under the lights, attracting the manta rays that come to feed. They are not being fed. During this time, many other fish also come, creating a scene straight out of The Little Mermaid. The manta rays come close enough to touch a little. They open their large mouths, allowing for a thorough observation, almost as if you could make a model of a manta ray.

I had an experience that exceeded my expectations. YOU MUST GO!

先日当ツアーに参加させて頂きました。マンタの知識は全くないままでの参加。。。しかし問題はまったくありません!ボートに乗ってからマンタの生態、ハワイ語について、ハワイ島について丁寧に説明して頂きました。もちろん日本語ガイドさんもついてくれているので安心です。船長はとっても陽気な方で、船が着いてからシュノーケル開始までウクレレをひいてくれました。サンセットタイムでのこの一時は本当に美しかったです。
シュノーケルでは10$でウエットスーツをレンタルできます。水中に入っている時間が長いのでこれは必須だと思います。ライトに照らされプランクトンが集まり、それを食べにマンタ達が集まります。決して餌付けはしていません。その間は他の魚達も大勢来るので、正にリトルマーメイドの世界です。マンタは少し触れてくる位接近してきます。そして大きな口を開けるのでマンタの模型が作れるのでは、と思うほど隅々まで観察できます。
期待以上の経験ができました。YOU MUST GO!

My dream has come true. 夢が叶った

Reviewed by: yukiboh

I finally got to visit the place closest to the sky in Hawaii, which I had always wanted to go to. At 4,200 meters, higher than Mount Fuji, where there is still some snow, I witnessed the sunset... Watching the clouds change from orange to a fiery crimson, seeing the sun set and the colors shift from deep blue to black, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. After that, I descended a bit for stargazing, and Mr. Konno's explanations of the stars and constellations were also wonderful!! The stars felt alive... I'm really glad I participated.

ハワイで一番空に近い場所、いつか行きたいと思っていたのが叶いました。4200mという富士山より高い所で、まだ雪も残っている所で、サンセットを見届ける・・・一刻,一刻雲がオレンジ色から燃えるような朱色にを変えて行くのを見、太陽が沈み、藍色から黒へと変わるのを見ていると自然の素晴らしさに圧倒される。その後、少し降りた所で星空観察、コンノさんの星、星座の説明がこれまた素晴らしい!!星が生きているよう・・・参加して本当に良かったです。

I can't believe I can swim with dolphins! 本当にイルカと一緒に泳げるなんて!

Reviewed by: なつこ

This time, I participated in the manta tour with Aloha Kona Tours and was so moved that I spontaneously joined the dolphin snorkeling as well.

I had previously participated in a tour to swim with dolphins in Oahu, but I had a bitter experience where the dolphins quickly swam away and I couldn't swim with them at all. I had given up on the idea of swimming with wild dolphins.

So, the experience of encountering dolphins, seeing them up close, and swimming together surpassed even the manta experience... I really got to swim close to the dolphins!

Our guide, Daisuke, diligently searched for points where dolphins were located, and thanks to his efforts, I was able to see many dolphins.

Just watching the dolphins swim close to Daisuke was healing. The dolphins were, of course, not scary at all, but I felt a bit anxious about diving in the deep sea without anything to hold onto, so I borrowed a float, which ended up being a bit of a hindrance.

I think I encountered a total of about 30 to 40 dolphins in the sea. I've heard that on lucky days, you can encounter over 100 dolphins?? I believe we swam in the sea for about 40 minutes.

Also, I was fortunate enough to see a whale. During that time, Daisuke really persevered (laughs) in searching for the whale.

Even after returning to Japan, I couldn't get the dolphins out of my mind. I definitely want to go meet the dolphins again! When I do, I hope to rely on your services again, so thank you in advance!

今回、アロハコナツアーズのマンタの方に参加し、感動しずぎて、急遽イルカシュノーケリングに参加しました。

私は、以前、オアフでイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、イルカはすぐ逃げて全く一緒に泳げないという苦い経験があり、野生のイルカと泳ぐのは無理なんだろうなとあきらめていました。

なので、イルカに出会え、間近で見れ、一緒に泳ぐ感動はマンタを超えました・・・。
本当に近くでイルカと泳げたのですから!

ガイドのダイスケさんは、イルカのいるポイントを丁寧に何度も探してくれ、トライできたので、沢山のイルカを見ることができたと思います。

ダイスケさんに近づいてきて一緒に泳ぐイルカを見てるだけで、癒されました。
イルカは、もちろん全く怖くないですし、深い海に浮き輪等つかまるものがない中、潜るのはちょっと不安で、フロートを借りたのですが、結局邪魔になりました。


おそらく、合計、30~40匹位のイルカと海の中で遭遇できたのでしょうか。ラッキーな日は100匹以上のイルカに遭遇できる日もあるとか??大体、海の中で泳ぐのは40分位だったと思います。

また、幸運にもクジラを見ることができました。その際も、ダイスケさんはかなりねばって(笑)クジラを探してくれました。

日本に帰ってからも、しばらくイルカが頭から離れませんでした。また、絶対イルカに会いに行きたいです!
その際は、お世話になると思いますので、よろしくお願いします!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Stellar!

Reviewed by: Ultrasonics21

It was a very educational tour with a breathtaking view. I just expected astronomy but the tour guide knew a great deal about volcanos, geology and island plant and animal life as well. The guide was awesome and I love taking tours with someone as trained and passionate about his work as this guy was. The food was so-so but it was hot and ready. The bus was cramped but it got us there and had big windows for great viewing. Once at the top, the observatories were incredible to look at as they opened up for evening viewing. The view of the sunset was also breathtaking, and not just from the lack of oxygen on top of the mountain. Once we headed back down for stargazing, our guides did a great job of pointing out astronomy as we used there 11 inch telescopes. Very great tour and highly recommended!

"Exciting first horseback riding!" 「ドキドキの初乗馬!」

Reviewed by: fumi

In conclusion, I had a great time!
I'm not very good at English. My friend who joined me doesn't speak any English at all...
So I was quite anxious before going.
But when we arrived, we were given a consent form in Japanese!
I read it carefully and signed it. There was a section at the end about wearing a helmet, stating that if you don't wear it, they won't take responsibility in case of an accident, so I marked "yes" for wearing it. However, someone said, "What do you think? Adults usually don't wear it!" So I casually said, "Oh, then No!" and decided not to wear it.
The kids were wearing helmets, but no adults were, although I recommend wearing one if you're worried since it can be bumpy. However, there were no incidents of anyone falling off or almost falling off.

You can't take your belongings while riding, so I think it's best to leave everything except water and a compact camera in the rental car. We thought we could carry our backpacks, but we were told to "leave them!" and ended up placing them on a shelf in the stable.

The riding instructions are in English, but they also use some broken Japanese in between. I felt there was less to worry about than I expected.
While riding, once we started walking, the guide would shout instructions like "fumi! right! left!" if there was any concern. When they were shouting something in Japanese, I thought they were saying something to us and listened closely.

It was my first time riding. At first, my horse was quite restless, which made me anxious, but gradually we connected and were able to enjoy the ride.
It felt longer than I had anticipated.

I was thrilled to see a giant (bigger than a person's face!) bright blue frog climbing a tree!

I had a lot of fun!
However, the next day my butt was sore (laughs).

If I go to the Big Island again, I definitely want to participate again!

結論から言うと、とっても楽しかったです!
自分は英語があまり得意ではありません。一緒に参加した友達は英語全くできず…。
なので行く前はとても不安でいました。
でも行って受付で渡されるのは、日本語の同意書でした!
よく読んでサイン。最後のところにヘルメットについての同意があるのですが、
着用しないともし万が一の時の責任は負いませんよ、的なことが書いておるので、着用するに○をして提出したのですが「どうする?大人はあんまりしないかな!」って言われて、「あ、じゃぁNo!」って言ってあっさり着用しないことにしてしまいました。
お子さんはかぶってましたが、大人は誰もかぶっていませんでしたが、揺れるので心配な方は着用をお勧めします。でも、落馬した人も、しそうだった人もいませんでした。

荷物は持って乗馬できないので、水とコンパクトカメラ以外はレンタカーに置いて行くといいと思います。自分たちはリュックは背負えるだろうと持って行ったのですが、「置いて!」って言われて、馬小屋の棚に置いて行くことになりました。

乗馬の説明も、英語になりますが、合間合間で、片言の日本語を使って教えてくれます。
思ったより心配することはなかったなという印象です。
乗馬し、歩き始めてからも馬が「fumi!みぎ!ひだり!」などと心配な時はガイドさんが大きな声で指示してくれます。日本語で何か叫んでいるときは私たちに何か言ってるなって思って聞いてました。

乗馬も初めて。最初は自分の乗った馬がなかなか冷静になってくれず焦ったのですが、
次第に心を通わせられて(?)楽しく歩くことができました。
思っていたより時間が長く感じられました。

特大の(人の顔よりも大きい!)真っ青な蛙が木を登っていて、それを見れたのが最高にうれしかった!


とても楽しかったです!
ただ、翌日はお尻が筋肉痛です(笑)

次またハワイ島に行ったら、ぜひまた参加したいです!

  • このお店の奥に小さな事務所があり、そこが受付

  • こんな感じで基本的には一列で歩いていきます

  • 小川を渡ったり、

  • 足を上げないと濡れちゃうくらい深い川を歩いたり

  • 終わってから気づきましたが(笑)日本語の説明貼ってありました。

Atlantis Kona Submarine Tour & Undersea Adventure - Descend up to 100 feet

Amazing adventure

Reviewed by: Clash56

The submarine tour is really amazing. How often can you say that you were in an actual submarine. The sub is air conditioned and really very spacious and comfortable. There is never a dull moment. Fish, coral eels and ship wrecks. Plenty to see and experience.

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

Breathtaking view! 絶景!

Reviewed by: さらさら

Mauna Kea is taller than Mount Fuji. Before departing, I was worried about whether I would be able to see the summit clearly since there were thick clouds covering it when I looked from the hotel. During the journey, our guide, Stephan (who speaks fluent Japanese, surprisingly for his appearance), made the trip enjoyable, and we quickly arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center for a break. The bento and miso soup, which were my first taste of Japanese food in a while, were delicious and comforting. After acclimating my body, we headed to the summit. The gravel road was incredible, with no guardrails! As we ascended, I experienced altitude sickness for the first time in my life by the time we reached the summit. I thought I wouldn't be able to enjoy the tour, but when I saw the sunset sinking into the clouds, I was so moved that I forgot about the altitude sickness! I've never seen such a beautiful sunset. Furthermore, the starry sky afterward felt just like a planetarium. Being surrounded by stars in over 180 degrees was breathtaking. I believe this is one of the must-see views when visiting the Big Island. Also, the guides from Masashi Nature School are all unique and fun, so I highly recommend them!

富士山より高いマウナケア。出発前ホテルから見たら山頂に厚い雲がかかっていたので綺麗に見えるか不安でした。道中、ガイドのステファンさん(見た目からは想像付かない程日本語ペラペラ)が色々な楽しいをしてくれたので休憩所のオニヅカビジターセンターまであっという間に付きました。ここで久しぶりの日本食だったお弁当と味噌汁が美味しく、体に染み渡りました。体を慣らした所でいざ山頂へ。ガードレールもないすごい砂利道!どんどん標高も上がっていくので山頂に着く頃には人生初の高山病に・・これではせっかくのツアーも楽しめないかと思いましたが、いざ雲に沈んでいく夕日を見たら高山病を忘れるくらい感動しました!こんな綺麗な夕日は見た事がありません。更に、その後の星空はプラネタリウムそのままという感じでした。180度以上を星に囲まれているのでそれ以上かもしれません。ハワイ島に来たら絶対に外せない絶景のひとつだと思います。そしてマサシネイチャースクールのガイドさんは皆さん個性があって楽しいのでお勧めです♪

Thank you very much for participating in our tour the other day.
Although there was a light dusting of snow at the summit, we are glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful sunset and starry sky.
The sunrise is also exceptional, so please do come back to the Big Island again.
Stefan and all the staff are looking forward to your next visit.

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

Screaming! Close encounter with a manta ray. 絶叫!マンタ大接近。

Reviewed by: ひらりん

I decided to join this tour after seeing the reviews, as it seemed interesting. Our hotel was in Waikoloa, and since there are five of us in the family, I wanted to minimize expenses by opting for a local meeting point. However, since there was no transportation available for the return, I chose the option with pick-up. The young man who came to pick us up was very friendly. He couldn't speak Japanese, but he had a name similar to my son's, which helped us bond quickly and made it enjoyable.

It was a bit chilly, so I borrowed a wetsuit. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to stay out long because it was too cold. It was everyone's first time going out into the night sea, and we were all nervous, but our guide, Leon, provided great support, making it enjoyable even for my first grader. (He speaks Japanese almost like a native.) I was worried that my child might be screaming out of fear, but it turned out to be excited shouts as the manta rays came so close they almost bumped into us. Although we shouldn't touch them, they were so close that we truly felt the wildness of the experience.

The water was so clear that we could see the bottom (it was dark, but occasionally the lights illuminated it), and many manta rays' white bellies floated up, creating an exhilarating and moving sight! It was definitely worth it. I'm really glad we went!

Leon said, "The joy of this job is knowing that the kids will remember today for a long time," which left a strong impression on me. We also visited Oahu during this trip, and when I asked the kids what they remembered most, they said it was this "Manta Tour." It's that impactful of an experience. I highly recommend trying it!

書き込みを見て、このツアー面白そうと思い決めました。ホテルがワイコロアだったのですが、家族5人なので少しでも支出を抑えたくて現地集合にしようと思いましたが、帰りの交通手段がなかったので送迎つきにしました。でも、お迎えに来てくれた青年がとても気さくで、日本語は話せませんが、息子と名前が似ていたのですぐ打ち解けて楽しかったです。

肌寒かったのでウエットスーツを借りました。着ないとと寒くて長くは見ていられなかったでしょう。夜の海に出るのは皆初めてでドキドキでしたが、ちゃんとガイドのリオン君がサポートしてくれたので、小1の子も楽しめました。(日本人なみに日本語話せます)怖さで絶叫しているのかと心配していたら、マンタがぶつかる位接近してくるので、興奮しての雄叫びでした。触れてはいけないのに、マンタからぶつかってくるので、まさしく野性を肌で感じられるツアーです。海の底が見える程の透明度のなか(暗いけど時折ライトで底が見える)、沢山のマンタの白いお腹が浮かび上がり、その迫力に興奮と感動!間違いなしです。本当に行って良かった!

リオン君が「子ども達が、今日のことをずっと覚えていてくれる事が、この仕事をやっている喜び」と言っていたのが印象的でした。今回の旅行はオアフ島にも行ったのですが、子ども達に何が一番心に残ったか聞いたら、この「マンタツアー」でした。それ位キョーレツなツアーです。是非おためしを!

That's unfortunate (>_<) 残念(>_<)

Reviewed by: ケロリン

I was looking forward to participating as it was recommended by those around me! However, unfortunately, due to the snow, I was unable to see both the sunset and the starry sky… The guide mentioned that it’s rare not to see either, and they searched for a spot where we could see the stars until the very last moment, showing a determination not to give up! However, since I was really looking forward to it, it was very disappointing and shocking that I couldn’t see either after spending both time and money (>_<).

I think it would help change the mood a bit if, in such cases, you could provide photos of the sunset and starry sky as a gift♪ The photos are really well taken☆ Please consider this for the future! If there’s another opportunity, I would definitely like to try again!

周りに薦められて楽しみに参加しました!
しかし、残念ながら雪の影響で夕日も星空も両方見ることが出来ませんでした…
ガイドの方も両方見れない事は珍しいと言っていて、場所を移動し星が見れる場所をギリギリまで探してくれて、最後まで諦めない姿勢が伺えました!
しかし楽しみにしていただけにお金と時間がかかり両方見れなかったのはとても残念でショックでした(>_<)
もしこの様な場合の時には夕日と星空の写真等をプレゼントしていただければ気持ちも少し変わるのではと思います♪とても上手に写真が撮れてるので☆
今後の為にも参考にして見てください!
また機会があれば、ぜひもう一度挑戦して見たいと思います!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day.

We know you were really looking forward to it, but unfortunately, due to the snow, we were unable to see the mountaintop or the starry sky. Our guide expressed how truly disappointed they were as well.

Thank you for your suggestions. We would like to consider them positively. We appreciate your valuable feedback.

If you have the opportunity to visit the Big Island again, please join us for a chance to make up for it. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you back.

ハワイ島 サーフィンレッスン カハルウビーチパークで波乗り体験!グループからマンツーマンのプライベートレッスンあり<英語インストラクター/現地集合>

First surfing in Hawaii Island. ハワイ島にて初サーフィン

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I have visited the Big Island about three times, but I never knew where the surf spots were and always envied those enjoying the ocean. However, this time I participated in a private lesson, and the instructor was fun. It was my first time on a longboard, but I was able to ride the waves several times, so I am very satisfied.

ハワイ島には3回ほど訪れていますがサーフスポットがわからずいつも海を横目にうらやましく思っていましたが今回プライベートレッスンに参加させて頂きイントラの方も楽しく初ロングボードでしたが何度か波に乗る事ができたので

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely satisfied! 大・大・大満足!

Reviewed by: 三浦一郎

I came to Hawaii Island specifically to see the starry sky from 4,000 meters, so it’s not an exaggeration to say that. It was rainy from the morning. There was snow at the summit, and I heard that it was closed the day before. Other tour groups were quickly giving up and had a mood of descending, but only Nature School, especially guide Matsuzaki, kept saying, "Let’s hang in there! It will surely change!" He encouraged participants who were really in a giving-up mode and made us forget the time with his fun, rapid-fire talk. Then, to our surprise, a cloudless new moon starry sky spread out before us. It was a private star-gazing event just for Nature School. If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely want to request this tour without hesitation. I thought the long tour might bore the kids, but the enjoyable conversation made the time fly by, and before we knew it, it was time to disperse. Also, I think the warm clothing provided was warmer compared to other companies. Matsuzaki, it was really great! Thank you!

4000mからの星空が見たくてハワイ島に来たといっても過言ではない状態で、朝から雨模様。
頂上付近は雪が積もって、前日はクローズになっていたとのこと。
他社のツアーさんは早々にあきらめ下山ムードがさまよっていましたが、ネイチャースクールだけは、特にガイドの松崎さんが、とにかく粘りましょう!きっと変わってきますよ!と、ほんとにあきらめモードの参加者を励ましてくれ、楽しいマシンガントークで時間のたつのも忘れさせてくれました. そうしたら、なんと雲一つない新月の星空が広がってくるではないですか。ネイチャースクールだけの貸し切り星空見学会でした。
もしまた来ることが出来たら、迷わずこちらでお願いしたいと思います。
長いツアーで子供も飽きるかなと思っていましたが、終始楽しい会話であっという間に解散時間でした。
それと、防寒具も他社さんに比べて暖かいと思います。
まっちゃん、ほんとによかったです! ありがとう!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day.
The weather in the mountains started to get rough the day before, and we were all worried about what would happen on the day itself, but it seems that the enthusiasm of Matsuzaki and Konno reached the weather.
There was enough snow to make a snowman, but it was truly wonderful that the sky cleared up just in time for stargazing.
If you have another opportunity, please do come to the Big Island.
Matsuzaki and all the staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.

先日はツアーのご参加誠にありがとうございました。
あの日は前日から山のお天気が荒れはじめ、当日もどうなる事かと皆で心配しておりましたが
