My two friends and teenage son went on this sunset sail and had an absolutely beautiful time. The sunset colors were stunning, and dolphins played along the bow of the boat as we were underway. It was magical! Crew was great. Drinks were yummy. It was a great thing to do on our last night in Hawaii. Highly recommend.

The location is a 15-minute walk from Ocean Tower, and it takes about 15 minutes by tram as well. Check-in for general seating is on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 16:45, so we lined up at 16:00 and were the first ones there. Premium seats are prioritized in the front, while general seating is in the back blocks. The show runs roughly until 20:30, and at the end, everyone can take photos. The meat at the buffet was delicious. Additionally, the American couple at the neighboring table kindly struck up a conversation with us, which made for a very enjoyable experience.
場所はオーシャンタワーから徒歩15分、トラムに乗車でも15分くらいかかります。先着順16:45チェックイン(一般席)との事で、16:00に並んで1番乗りでした。席はプレミアムシートは優先的に前側、一般席はそれよりも後ろのブロックになります。ざっくり20:30までショーがあり、最後には写真撮影も各自出来ます。ビュッフェの肉が美味しかったです。また、私たちはとなりの席のアメリカのご夫婦が優しく話しかけてくれ、とても楽しい気分でした。

The best part is the guide took excellent pictures of everyone with the sunset and stars.
Very knowledgeable and answered all questions. Was very considerate and made sure all were ok during the trip.
Setup the telescope very well - we could see the rings of Saturn very clearly.

Our guide, Koki, did a fabulous job with the Sunset photos for each of us at the summit and also a great job getting everyone's photo with the stars. He was an excellent driver and went slowly on the bumpy gravel part of the drive.
Because Koki's Japanese dialect is not something most English speaking people understand, he needs to speak more slowly and distinctly. I had a great deal of trouble understanding him - seems like I could only catch 4 out of every 10 words, and that is not something I expected on this tour. Granted, out of the 10 people, there were 2 Japanese men and Koki spent a lot of time on the way home speaking only to them in Japanese.
So, I had very mixed feelings about this tour. I come to Hawaii at least a couple times a year and I would definitely ask more questions about the guide and his speaking and understanding ability before I take my nest tour.

This was our third time on the Hani Olani catamaran, sunset cruise with our cousins. Each time has been a great experience. It’s great being barefoot on the deck of the catamaran makes serve drinks and food. The crew are always really nice and accommodating making us feel comfortable and treating us like royalty. It’s so beautiful to be out at sea and watch the sunset. It’s such a great surrounding. We highly recommend this excursion and most likely will do it again when we come back to the Big Island

The sunset disappearing into the sea of clouds was amazing. They had warm clothing available, and the hot cocoa was a nice touch. They also explained the constellations, and we enjoyed stargazing. It's rare to have the opportunity to drive to a place above the sea of clouds like this. I had seen the sea of clouds and sunrise from the summit of Mount Fuji, but my wife has some mobility issues, so I couldn't show her that view. Here, we could drive to the summit, so I was glad I could show her a similar view. However, we were lucky that the weather was good the whole time; I wonder what would have happened if it hadn't been. That's just a matter of luck.
雲海に消えていく夕陽は最高。防寒具も揃っているし、あったかいココアもついていてとても良かった。星座の説明もしてくれてスターゲージングも楽しめた。 雲海の上に車で行ける機会はここを逃すとなかなか無いのではないかな。 自分は富士山の山頂から雲海と日の出を見た事あったけど、妻は足が少し不自由でその景色を見せてあげる事が出来なかった。ここは山頂まで車でいけるから似たような景色を見せてあげることができて良かった。 ただ、運良く天気がずっと良かったけどそうでなかったらどうなっていたか。 こればかりは運次第。

My husband, who experienced snorkeling for the first time, ranked the experience at Kealakekua Bay as the most enjoyable activity. Although he wasn't confident in swimming, he was able to borrow a float and easily swim to see the fish. It was great that there was no stress involved. I enjoyed diving from the second floor of the boat. Even though it was a jump into the sea from a height of 5 meters, it required courage. It became a wonderful memory for our sixtieth wedding anniversary trip. Thank you for your hospitality.

The weather forecast for November 5th predicted continuous rain, and it seems that Mauna Kea, at an elevation of 4,200 meters, was experiencing snowfall. Later, I learned from the guide that there was a possibility of being closed until 3 PM that day, and the tour itself could have been canceled. The summit had a snowy landscape, making for a wonderful sunset and starry sky tour that was quite different from my previous experience.
11月5日天気予報は連日の雨、ましてや標高4,200Mのマウナケアは降雪続きだったそうで、後からガイドさんに伺ったら当日15時までクローズドの可能性があって、ツアーそのものがキャンセルになるところだったそうです。山頂は雪景色で前回とはかなり趣の違う素晴らしいサンセット&星空ツアーでした。

Due to the snow and rain the day before, the summit was closed until 12 PM on the day of departure. It opened just after 12:30 PM, and when I arrived at the meeting point, I met only the guide, George (English), along with 9 other participants, including 2 young women from English-speaking countries. However, the language barrier was manageable; gestures worked well, and we could use translation apps on our phones.
On the way to the sunset, it was raining until we reached the Onizuka Visitor Center, but as we ascended towards the summit, the clouds cleared, and we were able to enjoy the sunset after the snowfall. However, due to the thin air, I felt a bit lightheaded and could only walk slowly. Nevertheless, guide George made sure to engage everyone, taking photos and even building a three-tiered snowman. During the stargazing, he was busy taking pictures and packing up the telescope and tripod in the cold, dark environment, which was impressive. He also prioritized safety while driving.
Thank you for the amazing sunset and stargazing experience. Great job, George!
前日までの雪雨で出発当日お昼PM12時までは山頂まではクローズPM12時30分過ぎにオープンになり待ち合わせ場所に行くとガイドのジョージさん(英語)のみと合流、参加メンバーは9名内2名が英語圏?の若い女性2名 しかし言葉の壁はどうにかなるもの、身振り手振りでOKだし、携帯の翻訳でなんとかなります。
サンセットの方は、オニヅカビジターセンターまでは雨が降ってましたが、山頂までの道を上がって行くに従い、雲が晴れ雪が降った後のサンセットを楽しむ事が出来ました。しかし空気が薄いせいか、頭がボーっとしてゆっくりしか歩く事が出来ませんでした。しかし、ガイドのジョージさんは全員に声かけをして写真をパチリ、パチリ、3段の雪だるまも作ってくれました。星空観察でも、パチリ、パチリと寒くて、なかなか動けない真っ暗の中天体望遠鏡を片付けたり、写真の三脚を片付けたり、良く、動いていて、感心しました。車の運転も安全第一で任務を遂行していました。
最高のサンセットと星空観測 ありがとうございました。ジョージ、good jobでした。

My husband, adult daughter, and I had a spectacular time on this excursion. Our driver/guide/astronomy guru, Maka, was the lynch-pin of the whole experience. After seeing the beautiful sunset at the top, we scurried down to set up for our tour of the night sky. Maka has significant knowledge, a great sense of humor, and an amazing telescope! We all want a laser pointer now!! Fortunately, the three of us experienced only giddiness as an effect of the altitude…the three of us were silly and laughed so much. What a great memory! We had rented a Jeep for our week on the Big Island. Someone had suggested we were wasting our money going on a tour, rather than driving ourselves. But, though the tour was not inexpensive, it was worth every penny for the experience! Highly recommend!!

The seventh zip line had a rainbow over the waterfall, which was amazing! Moreover, the landing spot was also interesting. It might have been a coincidence, but the other participants from California and other countries were all friendly and the tour had a great atmosphere.
