Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Our Driver was 95 out of 100

Reviewed by: OSAMU M.

It was our 2nd time at the summit after 14 years with your company and we were more concerned about the summit weather due to last time it was so windy and cold to stay outside of the car.

But, the weather this time thanks to god it was good to watch the sunset.

Our driver was so nice was caring, professional skill of guiding and a gentleman.

He was caring everyone.
This made our trip OUTSTANDING.

I would recommend this trip to anyone eligible it is good tour with a Mercedes 4WD van with 14 passengers.

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＞

I was able to see many manta rays up close. 間近でたくさんのマンタを見ることができました

Reviewed by: えぬ

Mantas can be seen in other countries as well, but the encounter rate on the Big Island of Hawaii is overwhelmingly high, so I definitely recommend experiencing it. During the session I participated in, several large mantas swam right in front of me, providing a truly valuable experience. The Japanese-speaking guide was very attentive, making it a reassuring tour.

For those who will be participating:
- The boat will speed towards the destination for a while, and it can be quite bumpy. If you're worried about seasickness, it's recommended to take motion sickness medication before joining.
- It gets chilly after coming out of the water. Bringing a large towel can be useful as it can also serve as a wrap.
- Since it's a popular tour, seats can fill up quickly, so it's advisable to keep your belongings to a minimum (if you don't want to place them on the floor). A waterproof bag is recommended as a lot of seawater comes into the boat.
- There is only one Japanese-speaking guide, and of course, they won't be able to provide individual attention to everyone. Especially for beginners in snorkeling, it's safer to familiarize yourself with how to wear the snorkel, how to fit it, how to put on a wetsuit, and how to enter the water beforehand.

マンタは他の国でも見られるそうですが、ハワイ島での遭遇率は圧倒的に高いそうなので、ぜひ体験することをお勧めします。私が参加した回も、大きなマンタが何匹も目の前でくるくると回ってくれて、とても貴重な体験をすることができました。
日本語対応ガイドさんもきめ細やかに対応してくださって、安心できるツアーでした。

これから参加する方に向けて
・爆速のボートをしばらく走らせて目的地に向かいます。かなり揺れます。船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを服用してから参加するのがおすすめです。
・海から出た後は冷えます。大きなタオルを持参すると羽織にもなるので良いと思います。
・人気なツアーで席が埋まることも多いそうなので、荷物は最小限がおすすめです(床に置きたくなければ)。海水が船内にかなり入ってくるので、防水対応の袋に入れると安心と思います。
・日本語ガイドさんは一名で、もちろん自分たちだけにつきっきりでケアしてくれるわけではありません。特にシュノーケリング初心者の方はシュノーケルの装着方法や合わせ方、ウェットスーツの着方や海への入り方等々、事前に知識を入れられるものは入れてから望んだ方が安心です。

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

A morning close to the universe - a mystical sunrise experience at the summit of Mauna Kea. I was incredibly moved by the amazing sunrise at Mauna Kea! 宇宙に近づいた朝－マウナケア山頂での神秘的なサンライズ感動体験 最高のマウナケア日の出に超感動‼️

Reviewed by: やよい

A little while ago, I experienced altitude sickness during the sunset tour, so I was a bit worried about the sunrise tour, but I was able to clear it up beautifully and enjoyed the sunrise energetically!

On September 20 (Friday) in Hawaii, my husband and I participated in a sunrise tour at the summit of Mauna Kea, a long-time dream of ours. We were really looking forward to this day as the highlight of our trip to the Big Island.

Although I had some anxiety about the harsh environment at an altitude of about 4,200 meters, the moment I witnessed its beauty, all my worries disappeared.

The tour started in the middle of the night, and as we made our way to the summit in the darkness, the wonderful narration by our tour guide, Aoki, welcomed us with a starry sky. The stars shone as if we could reach out and touch them, leaving us speechless in the face of their beauty. It felt as if we were being drawn into the universe.

We were thoroughly satisfied as we looked through the telescope at the moonbow, Saturn, Jupiter, Canopus, Sirius, and Betelgeuse, guided by Aoki.

Upon reaching the summit, we followed Aoki's instructions and put on warm clothing to prepare for the cold while waiting for the sunrise. Gradually, the sky began to change from pale purple to orange, and eventually, the sun slowly revealed itself. At that moment, the mountains and the sea of clouds glowed golden, and I was struck by the grandeur of nature.

When the orange sun appeared from the sea of clouds, it was a moment so moving that it brought tears to my eyes.

Perhaps due to the thin air, I felt a bit of difficulty in breathing, but more than that, it was a moment filled with emotional fulfillment.

The sunrise at the summit of Mauna Kea was not just about enjoying a beautiful view; it was a special experience that allowed me to feel the connection between nature and the universe, and a new vision for life. Sharing this moment with my partner became one of the unforgettable memories of our lives.

As advice for those who will participate in the future, I recommend making sure to prepare for the cold. The altitude is high, and it gets quite chilly in the morning. Also, managing your physical condition to prevent altitude sickness is important. Enjoy the experience while consciously taking deep breaths. And above all, make sure to imprint the starry sky and sunrise in your memory, feeling that moment deeply rather than relying solely on photos.

Finally, the sunrise at the summit of Mauna Kea is an emotional moment worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime.

I will definitely participate in the sunrise tour again!

少し前に行ったサンセットツアーで、高山病の症状が出たので、少し心配しながらのサンライズツアーでしたが、綺麗にクリアできて元気に日の出を見てきました！

ハワイ現地9月20日（金）、私たち夫婦は長年の夢だったマウナケア山頂でのサンライズツアーに参加しました。ハワイ島での旅行のハイライトとして、この日をとても楽しみにしていました。

標高約4200メートルの過酷な環境に少し不安もありましたが、その美しさを目の当たりにした瞬間、その不安は一気に消え去りました。

ツアーは深夜にスタートし、まだ暗闇の中を山頂へ向かう途中、ツアーガイドのAokiさんの素晴らしい語りとともに夜空に広がる星空が私たちを出迎えてくれました。まるで手を伸ばせば触れられるような星々が輝き、私たちはその美しさに言葉を失いました。まるで宇宙に吸い込まれるような感覚に包まれました。

ムーンボウに、土星、木星、カノープス、シリウス、ペテルギウスまで望遠鏡でツアーガイドのAokiさんに見せていただき、パートナーと一緒に大満足。

山頂に到着し、ツアーガイドのAokiさんの指示通りに寒さ対策にしっかりと防寒具を身に着けながら、日の出を待ちました。少しずつ空が薄紫からオレンジ色に染まり始め、やがて太陽がゆっくりと顔を出しました。その瞬間、山々や雲海が黄金色に輝き、自然の壮大さに心を打たれました。

雲海からオレンジに輝く太陽が姿を現した時には、涙が出るような感動がありました。

空気が薄いせいか、呼吸が少し苦しく感じることもありましたが、それ以上に心が満たされる感動の瞬間でした。

マウナケア山頂でのサンライズは、単に美しい景色を楽しむだけでなく、自然と宇宙のつながり、人生のあらたなビションを感じる特別な体験でした。夫婦二人でこの瞬間を共有できたことは、私たちの人生の中でも忘れられない思い出の一つとなりました。

これから参加される方へのアドバイスとしては、まず防寒対策をしっかりとすることです。標高が高く、朝はかなり冷え込みます。また、高山病に備えて体調管理も大切です。ゆっくりと深呼吸を心掛けながら楽しんでください。そして、何よりも星空や日の出を自分の目でしっかりと焼き付け、写真だけに頼らず、その瞬間を心から感じてください。

最後に、マウナケア山頂でのサンライズは、人生に一度は体験する価値がある感動的な瞬間です。

サンライズツアー、また参加します‼️

ハワイ島　昼と夜の世界遺産キラウエア火山国立公園の見学とコーヒー農園でのテイスティングもあり＜昼・夕食付／英語ガイド／コナまたはワイコロア地区発＞

There are no nighttime attractions, so be careful! 夜の観光はありませんので、要注意！

Reviewed by: Tourbillon

After leaving the hotel, we had lunch at Punalu'u Bake Shop. There is a small shop and restrooms available. We enjoyed the lunch we ordered and then set off. At Black Sand Beach, we saw a few sea turtles. After that, we stopped by a Kona coffee shop, but there were no small souvenirs available, so we decided not to buy anything. They do offer various samples for tasting.

Finally, we entered the Volcano National Park. We took a short break at the Kīlauea Visitor Center. They informed us about souvenir magnets, restrooms, and smoking areas, so we took a moment to relax. We visited the Kilauea Overlook to see the crater. There was a bit of smoke rising, but there was no eruption. Apparently, it was impressive last year, and we were shown some videos. We enjoyed watching the steam vents releasing smoke for a bit. After that, we were guided to several spots within the national park. We ended with a break at Volcano House Hotel.

After that, there was supposed to be dinner and a night tour... but it didn't happen. We returned to the hotel, and it seems there are no night tours currently since there is no eruption. If you expect a night tour when booking this tour, you might be disappointed, so please be cautious. If you're hoping for a night experience, I think it's better to check in advance with a place that can accommodate you in Japanese. Overall, it was nice to get a general tour of Kīlauea Volcano.

ハワイ島　ジップライン7本　コレコレ滝の上を滑走 ＜英語インストラクター＞

Beautiful scenery 美しい景色

Reviewed by: こま

After making a reservation in Japan, head to the store counter at the designated time. It takes a bit of time to enter the tour's specified website and sign contracts in case of accidents. Since there are no Japanese speakers, it can be challenging if you don't understand some English (a translation device is also possible).

After that, you put on the gear, wear a helmet, and head up the mountain in a microbus. If you're wearing a baseball cap, you can wear it under the helmet, but other types are not allowed. Initially, you'll slide down a distance of about 20 meters to get accustomed to it after a safety briefing before starting.

From the second run onward, the distance gradually increases, and finally, you'll have a long run over the valley from a platform about 6 meters high. About ten people are accompanied by two guides, ensuring safety at all times. People of all ages, from children to the elderly, can safely enjoy the beautiful scenery.

日本で予約して、現地の予約時間にお店のカウンターへ。ツアーの指定したHPに入って、事故等が起きた場合の契約書などへのサインを行うのに、少し時間がかかります。日本語を話す人はいませんので、ある程度の英語を理解出来ないと苦しい。（翻訳機でも可能ですけど）。
そのあと、装具を身につけてヘルメットを被りマイクロバスで山の上の方へ向かう。野球帽ならばヘルメットの下に被れるけど、他のタイプはダメ。最初は20メートルくらいにのもので、スタート前の安全など講義後に慣れる意味で滑る。
2本目から徐々に距離が伸びていき、最後は6mくらいの高さの台から谷超えのロングラン。10名くらいに二人のガイドが同行して、常に安全を確保。子供から高齢者の方まで安全に綺麗でな、景色を楽しめます。

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル

The weather was bad, and we couldn't see the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. 天候が悪く、マウナケア山頂での日の入りは見られませんでした

Reviewed by: けほや

This was a local tour on the Big Island of Hawaii. The original plan was to drive to the summit (4,200 meters) to watch the sunset, and then observe the stars in the night sky at another location.

However, at the visitor center (2,800 meters), the area was covered in clouds, and the road was closed, preventing us from reaching the summit. I had heard that the summit of Mauna Kea is above the clouds and has low weather risks, but I realized there is a risk of road closures along the way.

After that, we were able to observe the stars from a lower area (1,800 meters). We could see Saturn, and the night sky was magnificent.

ハワイ本島での現地ツアーです。元々の予定は、車で山頂（4200メートル）に登り日の入りを見学、その後別の場所で夜空で星を観察というものでした。

ところが、途中のビジターセンター（2800メートル）で辺りが雲に覆われて道路が閉鎖され、山頂に行けませんでした。マウナケア山頂は雲の上にあり天候リスクが少ないと聞いていましたが、途中の道が閉鎖されるリスクを認識しました。

その後、少し下った広場（1800メートル）で夜空の星を観察出来ました。土星も見え、星空は素晴らしかったです。

The observatories and sunset I saw at the summit were wonderful. It was my first time staying at 4000 meters, but thanks to the advice on acclimatization and the guide's handling, I was able to go without getting altitude sickness. The guide, Koki, was well-studied and very helpful.

For stargazing, we went to a parking lot quite a bit down from the summit. Even though the summit was perfectly clear with not a single cloud, when we descended, there were clouds, and I really wanted to gaze at the stars in a clear sky. It was disappointing.

As we drove down, I could clearly see that there were clouds, and I was surprised, thinking, "Why are we going to a place with clouds when there's no cloud here?" I felt sad that I had come all this way to see the stars in a once-in-a-lifetime place, only to not fulfill that purpose. The view with the naked eye was about as good as the starry sky in Nagano, but I did manage to capture something that looked like the Milky Way using my iPhone's stargazing mode.

頂上で見た天文台群と夕日は素晴らしいものでした。
人生初の4000m滞在でしたが、順応やガイドさんの対処方法のアドバイスもあり、高山病になることもなく行くことができました。
ガイドのKokiさんも良く勉強されていて、すごく参考になりました。
星空観察は車で頂上からかなり下りた駐車場で、せっかく頂上が雲一つ無い快晴だったのに、降りてきたところは雲がでていて、澄み切った空で星を眺めたかったです。残念でした。
車で降りていくときに明らかに雲がかかっているのが見えていて「ここは雲がないのに何で雲のあるところに行っちゃうの?」と驚きました。
折角はるばる人生でまたとないところに星空を見に来て、雲一つ無い快晴の場所にいたのに、目的が果たせず悲しくなりました。
肉眼では長野の星空くらいの見え方でしたが、一応アイフォンの星空モードで何とかの天の川らしいものは撮れました。

Enjoying the sea in Hawaii. ハワイの海を堪能

Reviewed by: Tourbillon

About 15 minutes ago, I took an Uber to the meeting point, and the guide was waiting for us. In Hawaii, I was able to catch an Uber even at 6 AM without any issues. I think it's a good idea to check the app a bit before you head out. After dropping off valuables and a change of clothes, I put my phone in the waterproof bag and set off.

We arrived at the kayak launch area right away. I wore flip-flops, but since it's not a beach, I think marine shoes would be better. We boarded the kayak from the rocky area. From there, we kayaked for about an hour and a half, entering a cave along the way. After that, we snorkeled for about an hour. We were able to see large sea urchins and various fish while circling around. Since there was quite a bit of time, it might be good to have an underwater camera to take your own pictures.

We kayaked back for an hour, and that concluded the tour. There’s a shower or a water tap where you can wash off just a few minutes' walk from the kayak launch area. You can change clothes in the nearby restroom. The day before, when I confirmed over the phone, the guide mentioned that they would take pictures, but unfortunately, the guide had to be replaced due to health issues, so I couldn't get any photos. However, I really enjoyed experiencing the Hawaiian sea.

15分くらい前にUberで集合場所へ行くと、ガイドの方が待ってくれていました。

戻りでカヤック1時間で、ツアー終了です。

It was really cold after all... やっぱり寒かった。。。

Reviewed by: Tourbillon

I arrived at the Onizuka Center around 4 PM and quickly received a sandwich and water for dinner. Even though the Onizuka Center is at an altitude of 2,800 meters, my climbing experience has taught me that appetite decreases at higher altitudes, so I ate quickly. There are restrooms available here, and I put on the down jacket I brought. They also offer rental of warm clothing, so I think it's better to dress warmly.

I stayed for about an hour before departing for the summit. The path is unpaved, so it’s bumpy. It seems you can go by private car, but it’s not covered by rental car insurance, and if you damage it, the charges can be exorbitant. Perhaps due to the altitude, I felt sleepy, but I was warned that sleeping could worsen altitude sickness, so it’s strictly prohibited.

At the summit, which is over 4,000 meters, I changed locations about three times and waited for about an hour for the sunset at the last spot. After waiting for the sunset, we descended and stopped at a parking lot along the way for stargazing and a photo session, which took about an hour. Each time we took photos, we had to wait for cars leaving the parking lot or passing on the road, which took time. During this, it was extremely cold at around 3,500 meters.

The descent felt longer as it was darker, and I took my time. After passing the Onizuka Center, we took a break for the restroom and to change clothes. By the time I returned to the hotel, it was 11 PM. Since the next day was early, I felt a bit rushed, but I decided to relax. I managed to cope with altitude sickness as advised, by not sleeping and taking deep breaths. Overall, it was quite a challenging tour, but it was a valuable and enjoyable experience.

しばらく、1時間程度滞在して、頂上へ出発。

自家用車でも行けるみたいですが、レンタカーの保険適用外で、壊すと半端なく高額請求されるようです。
高所の影響か、眠くなりますが、寝ると高山病が悪化するので寝るのは厳禁と注意されます。
4000メートルを超えた山頂では3箇所くらい場所を変えて滞在して、最後の場所で1時間くらい日没を待ちます。
日没を待ち下山、途中の駐車場に止まり、星空鑑賞と撮影会を行います。
それもなんだかんだと1時間くらい。
撮影の度に駐車場から出る車や、道路を通る車を待って撮影するので、時間が掛かります。
その間も激寒及び3500メートルくらいの標高。
下りの道の方が暗い中慎重に言っているのか、時間が掛かった感じがしました。
オニヅカセンターを越えて、しばらく行った先でトイレ休憩及び着替え。
ホテルに戻ったら、23時でした。
翌日が早かったので、ちょっと焦りましたが、諦めてゆったり構えてました。
高山病も教えられたとおりに、眠らずに、呼吸を深くで乗り切れました。
まあまあ、大変なツアーではありますが、貴重な経験で楽しかったです。

So from other reviews you know the lines are long, especially in the heat. Now they have water fountains, and it does move semi quickly. But it would make sense to have the vip's seated 1st, then the GA seats enter by sections.

This would help with standing in the sun for to long.

The show it self was fantastic! Very entertaining, and kept you wanting more.

My only gripe, is that I am diabetic, and needed to eat sooner than later, and since I was the last table to be sat, we were the last table to be approved to get up to the Buffet. Also there was no sugar free desserts. Other than that the foods I was able to eat was delicious and flavorful. But I did end up in the restroom for most of the evening once returned back to the room. Could have been that some foods were in the temp danger zone for to long.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

AMAZING!!!

Reviewed by: Leigh

God’s amazing creativity seen through volcanic activity and celestial bodies. Truly an experience you won’t forget. Maka was the best. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Be forewarned that if you have altitude problems, you may fell icky at the summit. Take it slowly. You’ll fell better when you descend.

Beautiful Wiapio Valley

Reviewed by: S Munkelt

Excellent tour of a nearly inaccessible and uniquely beautiful part of the Big Island. Our guide filled in historical notes - this was the first location for settlement on Hawaii nearly 2,000 years ago - an identified loacal vegetation and agricultural factors.
