Big Island
The guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was a fulfilling day. It was really good. However, all the participants were Americans, and perhaps because they all had knowledge about Hawaii, the topics discussed were quite difficult. Things like how to buy land and rumors about Captain Cook. If you have prior knowledge and are fluent in English, it would be very enjoyable, but if your level is just average, you might feel a bit left out.
ガイドさんがとても熱心ないい方で、知識も豊富。充実感のある一日でした。とても良かったです。ただ参加者はアメリカ人の方ばかりで、またハワイに着いても知識がある方ばかりだったからか、話の内容がなかなか難しいものでした。土地の買い方やキャプテンクックの噂話など。事前知識があったり、おそらく英語がペラペラだととっても楽しいかと、ただそれなりレベルだとポツン悲しい思いをしてしまうかも。
It's quite tough if you can't understand English well! Also, the lunch bento is somewhat disappointing for Japanese people, so those who are particular about food might want to bring their own. The ta
かなり英語を聞き取れないと厳しい！あとお昼のお弁当は日本人にはなかなか残念な内容なので、食にこだわりのある方はご自身で持って行かれるといいかもしれません。味は不味くはありません。

My husband and I had a tour with James through Hawaiian Eyes Tours and absolutely loved it!! The sunset was beautiful and the star gazing was such an eye opening experience! James was very knowledgeable about the sights and Hawaiian culture. Highly recommend!
The tour guide was great. We really enjoyed ourselves
A few years ago, I had high expectations for the night sky I saw from the mid-mountain, but I was a bit disappointed this time. While it’s less affected by clouds, the surrounding lights seemed to interfere, and I didn't feel that much awe. Considering the cost-performance, I think a mid-mountain tour might be sufficient. However, this is a tour you can't miss if you want to experience 4,000 meters.
数年前に中腹から見た星空以上を期待してましたが以下でややガックリ。くもの影響は受けにくいですが周りの光がやや邪魔してかそれ程の感動を感じませんでした。
コスパを考えるなら中腹のツアーでいいのかなってのが感想です。
ただ4000mを体験するには外せないツアーです。
The Wi-Fi is unstable near the summit, so relying on translation apps might be a bit disappointing.

Despite my worries before going, it was the best experience, and I was very satisfied with the views. The sunset over the sea of clouds at an altitude of over 4000 meters brought me to tears. After the sun set, I forgot the cold while marveling at the starry sky, which was truly breathtaking. The guide primarily spoke English, but they did their best to communicate in my limited Japanese and took great care in preventing altitude sickness, which made me very happy as well.
行く前の心配とは裏腹に、最高の経験、景色を見ることができ大満足。
標高4000ｍ超の空間と目の前に広がる雲海に沈む夕日は涙が出る思いでした。
日が沈んだあとの満点の星空とは正にこのことかと寒さを忘れました。
基本は英語でしたが、拙い日本語を駆使して一所懸命のガイドしてくれ、高山病予防にも細かく気を使ってくれ、これも大満足。
This is a tour you should definitely go on. It's colder than expected, so proper winter clothing is essential. Disposable heat packs and warm shoes are a must, especially since your toes can get painf

I was able to see manta rays up close, even more than I had expected. It was colder than I thought, and I got seasick, so I felt a bit unwell, but it all became a good memory.
思っていた以上にマンタを近くで見ることができました。思っていたより寒く、船酔いをしたので体調的にはしんどかったですがそれも含めて良い思い出になりました。

There were few Japanese participants, but the guide was very kind and it was great! The weather was good, and I enjoyed it. When I reached the summit, I felt a bit dizzy, probably due to the lack of oxygen. The cocoa provided during the stargazing was delicious.
日本人参加者が少なかったが、ガイドの方がとても親切で良かった！
天候も良く、楽しめました。
流石に山頂に着くと酸素が少ないせいかフラフラしました。

It might be essential to wear gloves since the summit is cold.

The tour proceeded as scheduled, allowing us to see the sunset and starry sky at their most beautiful moments, which made for a wonderful experience. Throughout the tour, we also learned about the history and culture, making it very enriching.

Great time, great food, great service! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening cruising down to Captain Cook. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The mean was wonderful. We loved that we could sit back and enjoy the scenery while being served. I would definitely recommend this dinner cruise.
Mahalo Tammy for your patronage and kind review! We are so happy to read that you had a five star experience! Mahalo for your recommendations; we hope to see you again too!
Sign was up and the leis were perfect , my wife loved them
The stars and sunset were amazing! I've never seen such a beautiful starry sky! As expected, it was a precious experience that can only be had on the Big Island of Hawaii! The sandwiches and hot chocolate were delicious. However, the cold was intense (^｡^) They took photos with a DSLR during the sunset, but it was very disappointing that none of them were downloaded.
星も夕陽も最高でした！
あんな素敵な星空見た事ない！
流石！ハワイ島でしか体験できない貴重な体験でした！
サンドイッチもホットチョコレートも美味しかったです。

I was the only Japanese person participating, but I had a great time! Snacks and soft drinks are free. The leaf was just average.

Very chill. Lots of history on trip. Great dinner.
Mahalo for joining us and sharing your kind words! Love the beautiful photo! Best to you both!
Great Whale watching trip out of A Bay! The crew was easy going, informative and interesting.
Wish the trip was longer than 1 1/2 hours. The check in location on the website needs to be updated
A little relaxing and adventure. Crew was very friendly and fun. Always felt safe in and out of the water. Meals were good. Would definitely recommend and we would go again!
Thanks so much for joining us and taking the time to share your experience! We are stoked to know that you felt safe, that you enjoyed the service and that you'll be recommending us! Until we meet again; we wish you all of the best!
On the day of the event, the weather was clear, and I was able to see the best views of the sunset and the starry sky in my life. The guide was very polite and kind, and spoke to us while mixing in some Japanese. They took even more photos than I expected, making it a fantastic experience.
当日は快晴でサンセットも星空も、人生で最高の景色を見ることができました。ガイドの方もとても丁寧で優しく、多少の日本語を混ぜながらお話ししてくださりました。

The guide was very kind, and there were many services that weren't mentioned when I signed up! In cold areas, they lent us windbreakers and jackets, and they also checked our meal preferences in advance and placed orders for us. There were several occasions where they provided Hawaiian juice and bottled water as well.
I mainly signed up for the volcano tour, but they also drove us around to other places while giving detailed explanations the whole time. The guide was English-speaking, but they spoke to us in the Japanese they had learned, which made it feel very homey and enjoyable.
My kids challenged themselves to speak in English, and the guide responded kindly, which made me very happy as a parent to see their growth during this tour. The weather was great, we got to see sea turtles, and we witnessed both daytime and nighttime lava flows. Additionally, we were able to observe an incredible number of stars in the night sky that I had never seen before. It was an unexpectedly amazing tour filled with good luck!
ガイドさんがとても親切で申込む時に書いてないサービスが沢山ありました！寒い地域ではウィンドブレーカーやジャンバーを貸してくれ、食事も事前に希望を確認して注文してくれたり、ハワイのジュースやペットボトル水の提供も数回ありました
ボルケーノツアーメインで申込みましたが、その他の場所も細かい説明をずっとしながら運転してくれました
英語ガイドさんでしたが、覚えた日本語で話しかけてくれたりしてアットホームで楽しかったです
子供達は習った英語で話すことに挑戦しましたが優しく対応してくれて、このツアーで子供達の成長した姿がみれて親としてとても嬉しかったです
天気も良く、ウミガメにも会い、昼と夜の溶岩流もみれて、更に見たことのない数の満天の星空観測も出来、幸運続きの想像以上に最高のツアーでした!!
I highly recommend Wasabi Tours for a tour of the Big Island! The guide spoke English, but other groups had guides who could speak Japanese as well. The tour was rich in content and exceeded my expect

A great tour, worth the money as the staff details the conditions of the sky during your viewing.
we were nervous at first swimming at night, but we had a wonderful time and would do it again!
One of the highlights of our trip! Sam was fantastic - incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Not only were we awed by the universe, Sam helped us understand Hawaii as well. Keep up the great work.
Hosts are great, very friendly and shared historical information at sites along the way. We saw a mother and baby whale as well as hammerhead sharks on the trips to and from. The sea life at the snorkeling site were abundant and beautiful.
Highly recommend this tour above others.
It was great that our driver and tour guide, Kouki, explained everything in both Japanese and English. At the visitor center, it was unexpected that we might not be able to reach the summit due to the fog, but I was happy that we were able to pass through safely.
The sunset view from the summit was incredibly beautiful, and it was moving to witness the moment the sun went down. After descending a bit from the summit, we enjoyed stargazing. The sky was a mix of clouds and clear patches, but the starry sky when there were no clouds was stunning. The guide also explained the constellations, allowing us to have a fulfilling time.
Lastly, sharing the photos taken at the summit with the sunset and the ones with the starry sky in the background (which the guide took with a proper camera) became wonderful memories of this trip!
ドライバー兼ツアーガイドのコウキさんが日本語と英語で説明をしてくださったのが良かったです。ビジターセンターのところで、霧のせいで道の先が見えなくて山頂に行けないかもってなっちゃったのは想定外でしたが、無事に通過することができ、嬉しかったです。
山頂から見るサンセットはすごく綺麗で、太陽が沈んでいく瞬間を見られたのは感動でした。山頂をしばらく下ったところで星空を鑑賞しました。曇ったり雲がはけたりするような空模様でしたが、雲のない時に見える星空は綺麗でした。また、星座についてガイドさんが解説してくれて、充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
最後に、山頂でサンセットと一緒に撮った写真と星空を背後に撮った写真（ガイドさんがちゃんとしたカメラで撮ってくれたもの)をシェアしていただけたのも、この旅のいい思い出にもなりました！
If you're planning to stay at Outrigger Kona Resort, I recommend designating the pickup location as Target. I was fine with the borrowed winter gear, so I think you don't need to worry too much about

It was great that we learned about telescopes while making many unexpected stops along the way. The guide also took photos for us and was very considerate, making the whole experience enjoyable. At the summit, there was a breathtaking view that felt unreal. It's definitely worth a visit! However, since we went on a full moon day, there were fewer stars, which was a bit disappointing, so I would like to go again someday.
予想よりもたくさん寄り道しながら望遠鏡について教えてくれて、とてもよかったです👍
ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれたり、たくさん気遣ってくれて終始楽しく過ごせました😄
頂上では、現実のものとは思えない美しい光景が広がっていて息を飲みました🌄
行く価値ありです‼️
しかし満月の日に行ったので星が少なく少し残念だったので、またいつか行ってみたいです✨
I was confident in my physical strength, but I started to feel a bit like I had altitude sickness, so please don't let your guard down, everyone.

fun, good food, and right at hotel so we loved the ease!
My first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii was filled with uncertainties, but it was comfortable. There was a pickup at the hotel and meals included. Considering the cost of living, the price seems reasonable. They accurately took us to several attractions. The highlight was stargazing. The view was truly amazing. It was quite cold, but they provided warm clothing, so you can rest assured about that. English is quite difficult, so a certain level of proficiency is necessary.
初のハワイ島の旅で分からないことだらけでしたが快適でした。ホテルでのピックアップと、お食事付きです。価格は物価を考えれば妥当と思います。いくつかの名所を的確に回ってくれます。ハイライトは星空鑑賞。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。かなり寒いですが防寒具も用意されているのでそこもご安心ください。英語はかなり難しいので、ある程度のごりょくはひつようです。

We spotted them about five minutes after setting sail! After that, they continued to show us blows, breaches, tail slaps, and pectoral slaps one after another. Although we weren't very close, I was completely satisfied with how frequently they performed their "dance."
Fortunately, the Hilton Waikoloa where I stayed had a room at the very end facing the ocean, and during the morning and afternoon, I could see blows and breaches in the distance. I participated in the tour in early March, and it seems to be the perfect time for whale watching, as we encountered them frequently.
We were blessed with good weather; there were some waves, but the boat's rocking was less than I had worried about, making for a comfortable journey.

I participated with my son and wife. They picked us up at the hotel at 2:20 PM. There were two other Americans from Minnesota joining the tour, making a total of five participants. Our guide, James, explained about the Big Island in a mix of Japanese and English while driving. The area near the summit of Mauna Kea felt like a different world, resembling a desert or the moon, and the sunset view from there was amazing. We could see famous facilities like the Subaru Telescope up close, which made me feel the reality of being on the Big Island. Unfortunately, due to being close to a full moon, we couldn't see the Milky Way well during stargazing, but we were able to use the telescope to view Jupiter and the moon. James was always attentive, which made me feel safe participating.
息子と妻と私の３人で参加しました。ホテルに午後２時２０分に迎えに来てくれました。ツアーには他にミネソタからのアメリカ人２名が参加し合計５名の参加者でした。ガイドのジェームズさんは運転しながら日本語交じりの英語でハワイ島について説明してくれました。マウナケア山頂付近は、砂漠のような月のような（？）別世界で、そこから見るサンセットは素晴らしかったです。有名なすばる望遠鏡などの有名な施設がまじかに見られ、ハワイ島にやってきた実感がわきました。星空観測はあいにく満月に近かったため、天の川はよくわかりませんでしたが望遠鏡を使って木星や月を見ることができました。ガイドのジェームズさんには常に気配りをしていただき、安心して参加できました。
I think it's better to plan for the next day with some flexibility, as returning to the hotel around 10 PM can be quite tiring.
ホテルに帰るのが夜10時ころになり、かなり疲れるので翌日は余裕をもった予定にしたほうが良いと思います。

Absolutely fabulous!
Dancers were amazing. Musicians and singers . Loved it all!
The sea had been rough due to the swells for the past three days. However, the kayak launch area was in a bay, allowing for smooth boarding and disembarking. The offshore conditions were calm enough to enjoy kayaking. Although we couldn't go far into the spot due to the waves, we were able to feel the power of nature up close. There were plenty of fish while snorkeling.

Excellent crew. Very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a positive experience. All ages can do this experience. We saw humpback whales on the boat ride to snorkeling and a pod of dolphins joined us in the bay while snorkeling. It was a very fun experience and I would highly recommend it.
Do it, you won’t be disappointed.
