Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: ふゆこ

I participated in the tour mentioned in the title for my honeymoon. The guides were Mr. Ha and Mr. Stephan.

I usually find writing reviews tedious and don't do it often, but I want to share my experience because I was 200% satisfied and wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone.

This company's Mauna Kea tour allows for stargazing at a higher elevation than other companies (they provide not only ski jackets but also pants, making it possible to observe in colder locations). The guides were fantastic, paying close attention to the participants' well-being and always keeping the atmosphere lively. Additionally, they kindly took beautiful professional-looking photos for us. I hear you can request specific guides, so I highly recommend these two.

Depending on the moon phase, the sunrise tour or sunset tour may offer better views of the stars, and they seem to be responsive to inquiries through their website.

For many, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you trust these two from this company, you can be sure to have the best experience!

新婚旅行で、表題のツアーに参加しました。ガイドは葉さんとステファンさんでした。
普段このようなレビューは面倒であまりしないタイプですが、満足度200%、心から皆さまにお勧めしたく書き込みをします。

この会社のマウナケアツアー自体が、他社より標高の高い地点で星空観測ができる(スキージャケットだけでなく、ズボンまで貸出されるため、より寒い場所でも観測可能なのだそうです)とのことでした。
また、ガイドさんが素晴らしく、参加者の体調管理にも細心の注意を払っていただきましたし、常に雰囲気を盛り上げてくださいました。また、ご好意でプロのような綺麗なお写真も撮っていただきました。指名ができるそうなので、是非、このお二人をお勧めいたします。

月齢によって、朝陽ツアーと夕陽ツアーのどちらがより星をたくさん綺麗に見られるかも異なるそうで、サイトを通じて相談にも対応してくださるようです。

多くの方にとって、一生に一度かもしれない貴重な機会だと思いますが、この会社のこのお二人にお任せすれば、最高の体験ができることは間違いありません!

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
I am truly impressed by our guide's attentiveness. Although she is only 22 years old, her camera skills and consideration are top-notch. Stefan is physically large but has a very kind and reliable heart. He is a perfect bilingual boy. Persistence is also a characteristic of our guides.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit to the Big Island, along with Yoko, Stefan, and all our staff.
We have other wonderful guides as well. (laughs)

I booked through Veltra (third party booker) and everything was absolutely perfect! I got a better rate than booking direct!

Of course the company that actually handled the transportation (Speedi Shuttle) was amazing! Friendly, courteous, and helpful! Gave some great tips on some local food places and a great place to watch the sun set! I will definitely book through Veltra again!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour by Masashi Nature School マウナケア山頂サンセット&星空観測ツアーbyマサシネイチャースクール

Reviewed by: Enomoto yoshioki

I had some physical concerns about going to the summit of Mauna Kea, but at 62 years old, I decided to take it on as my final challenge. When I got there, the sunset was incredibly beautiful and it moved me deeply.

Additionally, during the stargazing, I was really struck by the sheer number of stars visible from Earth. I was also able to see Saturn through a telescope and confirmed that it indeed has rings.

Under the starry sky, we were able to take commemorative photos, which can be downloaded for free from the homepage. I participated in a wonderful tour that became a lifelong memory.

マウナケアー山頂に行くのに身体の不安もありましたが62歳ということで最後のチャレンジと思い行くことにしました。行ってみて夕日がとても綺麗にみえ感動しました。

Breathtaking views to see before you die. 死ぬまでにみたい絶景

Reviewed by: TOSHI

Since it was chosen as one of the breathtaking views that Shihoko wanted to see before she passed away, the price was on the higher side, but we really wanted to see it, so our family of four participated.

I thought the price was high when we joined, but it was worth it as we got to see an incredible view (even more than expected). The guide was very nice and shared a lot of information, which made it really enjoyable.

It was cloudy before reaching Mauna Kea, and we were told we wouldn't be able to see the beautiful sea of clouds, but gradually it cleared up, and we were able to see the best view.

I'm really glad we participated.

しほさんの死ぬまでにみたい絶景に選ばれていたので、
お値段は高めですがどうしても見たくて家族4人で参加させてもらいました。

Dear Haruka,
Thank you for using our tour services. Our tours have a very high repeat customer rate, and it seems that everyone is captivated by the dolphins.

baby dolphin 赤ちゃんイルカ

Reviewed by: ぐうさん

The male guide, who is fluent in Japanese, was very kind and explained the highlights in detail. By the way, there were four passengers and one guide. We saw a lot of dolphins, and they came incredibly close, which was thrilling. There was also a pod with a baby dolphin, which was adorable. We could hear their calls and watched them jump and spin up close. In Kealakekua Bay, we saw eels and tropical fish, and there were also dolphins here, so we had plenty to see. The boat goes fast, so it can get cold if you're wet. It's a good idea to wear dry clothes over your swimsuit or wrap yourself in a bath towel.

Dear Gu-san,

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. Ian, our guide, is one of our elite guides, and we are also pleased to have been able to assist you during your tour.

It's wonderful to hear that the dolphins approached you; perhaps they were in a good mood and felt the joy from you and your group, wanting to swim together. Meeting baby dolphins, hearing their calls, and seeing them jump must have been a complete delight of the dolphin swim experience.

Kealakekua Bay is said to be the most beautiful snorkeling spot in Hawaii. Snorkeling while feeling the mana is truly a luxurious experience.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the bath towels. On cloudy days, wet swimsuits can feel chilly, so I hope you didn't catch a cold.

Please come visit the dolphins and Kona Ocean Experience again when you return to the Big Island. Mahalo Nui Loa!

ケアラケクア湾はハワイで1番綺麗と言われているシュノーケルスポットです。マナを感じながらシュノーケルをするなんて、とても贅沢な時間ですよね。
バスタオルについてのご指摘、有難うございます。曇りの日は、水着が濡れていると肌寒く感じる日もあります。お風邪を召しませんでしたか。

Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Great experience with tha manta rays, but service below expectations

Reviewed by: Riccardo

We went on moonlight snorkeling tour and saw four manta rays, two quite big, they are so graceful dancing in the water below the light and passing inches from our bodies without touching us and without any fear. This experience is one to be remembered for the lifetime.
Said that, the service given is below expectations.
Let's start from pricing, no reduced price for the one that is not going off board snorkeling.
We arrived on time for the check in and the boat wasn't in the water yet, due to a problem with the truck. Maybe the info on the tour had been already given to the other participants, but nothing more for us. I recieved the wet suit, even though there was no locker room to change, only the marina restrooms.
Anyhow the boat went in the water just in time to go onboard, no gangboard, assuming people is used to jump on and off board.
We went quite fast to the point where manta rays are usually seen, there was already another boat from a different charter, we stood just aside them.
Gear provided by them, good quality, no water entered during all the visit.
Just few basic rules, do not dive, do not touch them, do not kick them, lay horizontally and stay attached to the plastic board, which hosts lights to attract plancton.
As said at the beginning, the experience is really wonderful and makes me almost forget the service part.
Returning onboard, just a minute to remove the wet suit, get dry, have a glass of hot soup and go back as fast as possible to the harbour.
A formal and quick goodbye and that's it.
Overall you cannot miss the mant rays snorkeling experience, but consider also other service providers with respect to this one.

Reply from activity provider

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the manta rays. If we receive a review that is less than 5 stars, we seek out ways in which we can make improvements. In your case, the areas in which you wish to see improvement are beyond our control. You are correct in that there are no locker room facilities. Honokohau Marina is operated and maintained by the State of Hawaii, who instead chooses to provide the public restroom facilities. You are also correct in that there is not a gang plank that is used to get onboard our boat. Like other companies in the harbor we tie up close against the dock, allowing you to step directly onto the boat from the dock. We charge the same price for the people who choose not to go into the water simply because that person still takes up a seat. We are limited by the U.S. Coast Guard as to how many passengers we can carry. We do offer discounts to children, local residents, military personnel, and for those returning to do additional tours with us.

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>

You can enjoy it even if you don't understand English. 英語が分からなくても楽しめる

Reviewed by: ヤジマタツロウ

On the fourth day of our stay on the Big Island, we participated in a tour. I was hesitant about the speedboat and the English tour, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

In our tour, my wife and I were the only Japanese participants; the others were travelers from the mainland United States. The Americans were cheerful, and there was a lot of excitement among the staff and the guests, as well as among the guests themselves. My wife and I are not good at English, so we felt a bit out of place, but we were prepared for that, so it didn't bother us too much.

On the way to the bay, we were able to see not only dolphins but also a false killer whale (I couldn't understand the English name, so I looked it up after returning to Japan, and I think that's what it was), which was nice to see. The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was enjoyable because the terrain is better than at Kahalu'u Beach Park or Hanauma Bay on Oahu. There are some deep areas in the ocean, so my wife said she was scared in places where she couldn't touch the bottom, but they lent us a flotation device, so she was able to snorkel with peace of mind.

The view of the Big Island from the sea was also wonderful, and I believe this tour is worth participating in.

 ハワイ島滞在4日目に参加しました。
スピードボートと英語ツアーに尻込みしていましたが、十分楽しめました。

 私達が参加したツアーは、やはり日本人は私と妻だけ、他はアメリカ本土からの旅行者の方々でした。
 アメリカの人たちは陽気なので、スタッフとツアー客、ツアー客同士でかなり盛り上がってました。
 私と妻は英語がぜんぜん駄目なので、アウェイ感が強かったですが、元々覚悟していたのであまり気になりませんでした。
 湾に行く途中、イルカだけでなく、コビレゴンドウクジラ(英語が分からなく聞けなかったので、日本に帰ってから調べたので、多分そうだと思う)がゆっくり見られて、良かったです。
 ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも、カハルウビーチパークやオアフ島のハナウマ湾よりも地形が良い為に楽しめました。海が深い場所もあるので、妻は足が付かないところは怖いと言っていましたが、浮き棒を貸してくれたので、安心してシュノーケリングをやってました。

 海から眺めるハワイ島の景色も素晴らしく、参加する価値のあるツアーだと思います。

The Kona Airport Speedi Shuttle came right to my door, right on time, with courteous help with my luggage. The price was good and I'd recommend them. One other company would only pick me up if I went out and stood on the street, hauling my luggage out there. At a condo complex that was right by a hotel pick up point that was not acceptable to me.

Incredible! Incredible! Incredible!!! 感動!感動!感動です!!!

Reviewed by: SEI&SATO

The summit of Mauna Kea felt more like being on Mars than on Earth. The sunset, with the sun sinking below the clouds, was an emotional experience unlike anything I had ever felt before. After that, I took a commemorative photo with the Earth's shadow (which is called the Venus Belt) appearing on the opposite side of the sunset, and then we did some stargazing after dark. I had a period in elementary school when I was fascinated by astronomy and often climbed onto my house's roof to observe the stars, so I was incredibly moved to see the Milky Way, the Southern Cross, and Canopus, which is the second brightest star in the sky after Sirius! The guides were young and energetic, and their desire to create wonderful memories for everyone participating was palpable. If I could wish for one thing, it would be that I had participated during a new moon instead of a half moon, as I might have been able to see even darker stars. However, I have traveled more than 100 times both domestically and internationally, and I can confidently say this is number one. I absolutely recommend it to anyone planning to visit the Big Island!

マウナケア山頂は、地球というよりも火星に行ったような感じがしました。サンセットも夕日と雲海を見下ろす中で沈んでいく様子はこれまでに味わったことのない感動でした。その後、生まれて初めて見た夕日の反対側にできる地球の影(ヴィーナスベルトというそうです)をバックに記念撮影、そして日没後の天体観測。私は小学校の頃に天体少年だった時期があり、よく家の屋根に上がって観測をしていたのですが、その頃に憧れていた天の川、南十字星、全天でシリウスに次いで明るいカノープスを観ることが出来たことに大変感動をしています!ガイドのみなさんは若くて元気があり、参加したみんなにいい想い出を作りたい!という意欲がヒシヒシと伝わってきました。欲を言えば半月の時ではなく新月の時に参加していればもっと暗い星までを観ることができたかも知れないと思うと唯一悔やまれるところです。でも私はこれまでに旅行が好きで国内外を合わせて100回以上参加していますが、間違いなくナンバーワンと言えます。ハワイ島に行く予定のある方は絶対にオススメです!

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. Mauna Kea offers a different view every time you climb it. Once you climb it, you become hooked. The sunset from the summit is exceptional. The countless stars that emerge in the dark night are also breathtaking. Our guides take professional-level photos of the stars. We will help you create wonderful memories on the Big Island, so please come back next time to explore more of the charms of the Big Island.

All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Not so Great...

The crew was good and friendly. Despite informing them about our dietery restrictions a week before the cruise, they forgot to prepare any vegetarian food. The crew quickly threw together salad for us on board, but it was a lot of money for salad. The crews were friendly otherwise. good music...

6名限定!ハワイ島 野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー<午前/英語ガイド/軽食付>

I was able to swim with many dolphins! たくさんのイルカと泳げました!

Reviewed by: stokuhis

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter, so there were three of us. The boat was almost entirely private. Although my child was small, the guide was very attentive and took great care of her, which was a huge help. We had a very rare experience swimming close to dolphins and being surrounded by them. It was the best experience to swim with so many dolphins multiple times. The hospitality was excellent, as they even looked after my daughter when she got tired and fell asleep. Parents also enjoyed dolphin swimming and snorkeling to the fullest. I highly recommend it! One thing to note is that a tip for the captain is required when disembarking. It seems to be about 10% of the payment amount. I didn't have much cash on me, so I couldn't tip much... Please be aware of this. It would be helpful if such information was included at the reservation stage. The experience was fantastic!

5歳の娘と一緒に3人で参加しました。船は貸切状態でした。子供も小さかったのですがガイドさんが付きっ切りで面倒を見てくださりとても助かりました。イルカもすぐ近くで泳いだりイルカに囲まれたりととても貴重な体験ができました。何度も何度もたくさんのイルカと泳げて最高の体験でした。途中疲れて寝てしまった娘を見てくれたりとホスピタリティーも満点。親もドルフィンスイムとシュノーケリングを思う存分楽しめました。おすすめです!注意事項は、下船時に船長さんへのチップが必要なこと。支払料金の10%のようです。現金をあまり持ちわせていなかったのであまり払えませんでした。。。ご注意ください。できれば予約の段階でそのような記載があると助かります。体験は最高でした!

Dear Stokuhis,

Thank you very much for participating in the Dolphin Swim & Kealakekua Bay Tour. It was a wonderful four hours spent with your lovely family, sharing time with your adorable daughter and kind parents, along with the captain. We place great importance on communication with each of our guests. Even after returning to Japan, we go out to sea every day with the feeling that we are connected to everyone through the dolphins. We look forward to reuniting with your daughter, who has grown a bit.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the tip for the captain. We will improve it promptly. Mahalo Nui Loa!!

この度はドルフィンスイム&ケアラケクア湾ツアーにご参加くださり誠にありがとうございます。かわいい笑顔のお嬢様と、優しいご両親の素敵なファミリーとお時間を共有できて、キャプテンと共に楽しい4時間でした。私たちは、お客様一人ひとりとのコミュニケーションをを非常に大切に致しております。日本へお帰りになっても、イルカを通じて皆様と繋がっているという思いで、毎日海に出ております。少し大きくなられたお嬢様との再会を楽しみに致しております。
キャプテンへのチップへのご指摘ありがとうございます。早速改善いたします。Mahalo Nui Loa!!

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

Participation is definitely worthwhile. 参加の価値おおいに有り

Reviewed by: 旅大好き

I think you should experience this at least once when staying on the Big Island. It's a large-scale tour that you can't experience anywhere else, and the moment of sunset is truly moving. The guide's stories are enjoyable to listen to, and I felt that the fun of the tour really depends on the guide, making it quite different.

ハワイ島に滞在したら、1度は体験すべきだと思います。他では体験できないスケールの大きなツアーで、サンセットの瞬間は感動します。ガイドさんの話は楽しく聞くことができ、ツアーの面白さはガイドさん次第で、ずいぶん違ったものになるのだろうなと感じました。

I can take a photo. 写真を撮ってもらえます。

Reviewed by: prp

The sunset was incredibly beautiful, with not a single cloud in the sky. It was cold, but they lent me pants and a jacket (the kind you wear when skiing), so it wasn't unbearable.

I watched the sunset from the mountaintop, then descended a bit for stargazing. As you go down, the temperature becomes much warmer. They provided explanations of the constellations using a flashlight, and I received warm tea and cookies—there were various services offered.

And above all, the photo service! The pictures taken with the beautiful starry sky in the background became lifelong memories.

サンセット,雲ひとつなくとてもきれいでした。
寒かったですが,ダウン?のパンツ&ジャケット(スキーの時に着るようなものです)を貸していただけるので,耐えられないほどではなかったです。
山頂でサンセットを見て,少し下山してから星空観測。少し降りるので気温もだいぶ暖かくなります。ペンライトを使って星座の解説をしていただいたり,暖かい紅茶とクッキーをもらえたり,いろいろサービスが。
そしてなんと言っても写真サービス!きれいな星空をバックに撮ってもらえる写真は一生の思い出となりました。

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

Awesome! Our favorite adventure from this vacation.

Reviewed by: Maren

This submarine cruise was amazing!! The crew was so friendly and our guide was funny. It was obvious everyone loved their job. Our guide was obviously an experienced diver because he knew so much about all the various fish we saw and had lots of great stories involving the different fish/coral.

The visibility was amazing the day we went. I think I took almost 200 pictures. We were so surprised when we saw 2 shipwrecks on the cruise. Such a fun bonus!

My husband is very outdoorsy and was a little whiny about doing the submarine over an actual snorkel day cruise. He loved the submarine and thought it was so much fun. We will definitely do it again when we're back.

Please call me Masakimi.

I was truly impressed that you arrived 10 minutes before the pickup time. We both remarked how typical of a Japanese person that is.

Your stories during the car ride felt like a stand-up comedy routine. Your self-introduction was especially delightful, and it was so comfortable that I wanted to keep listening forever.

You provided clear explanations and took plenty of photos. During the lunch distribution, you knelt down to carefully serve the miso soup, and since the weather was nice, you kept expressing positive words like "wonderful."

I was personally very moved by each aspect of your character.

Of course, I enjoyed the scenery too!!!

The sunset was amazing, and the stargazing was great. Thanks to your guidance, I was lucky enough to see a satellite.

I also saw the Southern Cross, and at the Onizuka Center, I even looked at the sun through a telescope.

Above all, the clothing was warm and felt more like proper winter gear than any other tour, which was a huge help for someone like me who gets cold easily.

Thank you for the wonderful experience.

マサキミさん、そう呼ばせてください。ww

お迎え時間の10分前に来てくれたことに、まず感動。
さすが日本人ですねとお互いで言ってしまいました。

車中でのマサキミさんのお話しは、まるで漫談のようで、

天候が良い日だったこともあり、ステキすてき、というポジティブな

このお人柄一つ一つに、個人的にとても感動しておりました。


勿論、景色もバッチリ見ておりましたよ!!!

サンセットは最高でしたし、星空観測も良かったです。
私は教えてくれたおかげで、運良く衛星も、見ることが出来ました。

南十字星も見れたし、オニヅカセンターでは太陽まで望遠鏡で見ちゃいました。

なによりウエアが温かくて、どこのツアーよりも防寒着という感じで、

Wonderful! A place you should definitely visit! 素晴らしい!一度は行くべき!

Reviewed by: chika

I had wanted to participate for a long time, but I had to give up because the lunar phase and travel schedule didn't match. However, this time it finally happened!!!

On the day of participation, we were blessed with good weather, and the sunset gradient in the sky was beautiful. During the stargazing session, the guide explained the constellations clearly and thoroughly, and the starry sky was truly stunning.

As for cold weather preparation, on the day of participation, it was 28°C during the day, so I wore a light 3/4 sleeve top and long pants. I even forgot the disposable hand warmers I brought for warmth at the hotel, haha.

However, during the hike up to Onizuka, it was said to be "less windy and warmer than usual," around 9°C, so I wore my UK ultra-down jacket and only the borrowed cold-weather pants. Some people wore fleece, but it was warmer than I expected, so this was enough at Onizuka.

After arriving near the summit to watch the sunset, I was lent an additional jacket, hat, and gloves, which kept me warm and cozy, but it was still a bit chilly due to the wind, haha. If you're sensitive to the cold or participating during a colder season, proper preparation is essential. The stargazing location was a bit lower down, so it was perfectly warm there.

The bento box we received on the way to Onizuka was better than I expected; I thought it would be like a convenience store bento, but it came with warm miso soup and a drink. It was a proper bento, and I was surprised! It was delicious! From what I saw of the bento boxes from many other tour companies, this one might have been the most luxurious, haha. At the stargazing location, there was also a service of cookies and tea, making for a warm and cozy experience. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I've created wonderful new memories on the Big Island!♪

以前から参加したかったけど、良い月齢と旅行日程が合わず断念してましたが
今回やっと実現しました!!!
参加当日は天候にも恵まれサンセットのグラデーションの空は美しく、
その後の星空観測ではガイドさんが星座の説明を分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくれ
満天の星空は本当に美しかったです。

防寒対策ですが参加当日は日中は28℃あり上は薄手の7分袖1枚+下は長ズボンで参加。
寒さ対策に持って行った使い捨てカイロもホテルに忘れる始末wwww

でも途中オニヅカで「いつもより風も少なく暖かい」との事で9℃くらいで
持参したUKのウルトラダウンを着用し同時に貸していただける防寒着のズボンのみ着用。
フリースなど着てた方もいらっしゃいましたが、思ってたより暖かかったので
オニヅカではコレだけで十分でした。

サンセットを見る山頂付近に到着後、上着+帽子+手袋をさらに貸して頂き
モコモコ状態で暖かかったんですが、やはり風があるため
体感的にはチョット寒かったですww
寒がりさんや寒い時期の参加なら、それなりの対策必須です。
星空観測の場所では少し下った場所だったのでバッチリ暖かかったです(^_^)

行きのオニヅカで頂いたお弁当はコンビニ弁当くらいに思ってたら
温かいお味噌汁に飲み物もあり、ちゃんとしたお弁当でビックリ!美味しかったですww
たぶん他の沢山のツアー会社さんに参加されてる方のお弁当を見た限り一番豪華かもww
星空観測の場所でもクッキーと紅茶のサービスもあり
至れり尽くせりで心も身体も暖かく過ごせ、このツアーに参加してホント良かったです。
ハワイ島での素晴らしい新たな想い出が増えました♪
