All Reviews for Kailua-Kona

First of all, it was very good. There is no doubt about that. Additionally, the snorkeling mask and wetsuit were both well-sized and of good quality and condition. When I participate in snorkeling abroad, I often receive large masks meant for foreigners that don't fit my face, leading to unpleasant experiences with seawater getting in. So, I brought my own, but my husband's borrowed one was much better and suitable for seeing manta rays. This allows for a worry-free experience. However, unfortunately, Japanese participants went in first, which caused their bodies to cool down quickly, and my husband ended up being the last to get back on the boat, unable to stop shivering. That was the most disappointing part.

まずは、とても良かったです。それは間違いありません。
それと、シュノーケリング用のマスクもウェットスーツも、きちんとサイズのあった物を選んでくれて、質も状態も良いものでした。
私は海外でのシュノーケリングに参加すると、顔のサイズに合わない外人向けの大きいマスクを渡され、何度も海水が入る嫌な思いをしたので自分用のを持っていったのですが、主人の借りた物の方がとてもよくて、マンタを見るのに適していました。これは、安心して参加して頂けます。
ただ、残念なことに。日本人が先に入ったのですが、そうすると体が冷えるのが早くなるのに、ボートに上がるのが最後になり、主人は体の震えが止まりませんでした。それが一番残念なことです。

To acclimate to the high altitude, we took two breaks that included meals, and on the way to the summit, we could see Mauna Loa from the car window, which was breathtaking!

Once we reached the summit, we took a commemorative photo with the sunset in the background. Unfortunately, there were some clouds that day, so the sunset wasn't as impressive, but when we descended a bit to the stargazing point, the night sky was beautifully clear. The guide explained about the stars, and I was delighted to see my birth month constellation.

We also saw artificial satellites, shooting stars, and through a telescope, we were able to view Jupiter and its four moons. I felt secure as we had warm clothing, including a jacket, pants, and gloves. It was a fantastic experience!

最初高地に慣れるため、2回食事を兼ねた休憩を取り、山頂へ、車窓にはマウナロアも見えて
感動！
山頂についてまず夕日をバックに記念撮影この日はあいにく雲があって夕日はいまいちでしたが、少し下って星空観測ポイントについたら、
星空がキレイにみえました、ガイドさんが星について説明をしてくれて自分の誕生月の星座もあり嬉しかったです。
人工衛生、流れ星、望遠鏡で木星と4個の衛星を見せてくれました。
防寒着もジャケットとズボンと手袋がついていたので安心でした。とても良かったです！

We saw the north star in the same sky with the southern cross. Had never seen the southern cross before. That was worth the trip. The great professional authoritative guides, wonderful telescopes and celestial education were all icing on the cake.

My first time on the Big Island and my first nature tour started with a lot of uncertainty, but my worries quickly disappeared, and I was overwhelmed with emotion! As soon as we began climbing Mauna Kea, we encountered beautiful rainbows at three different spots. We took regular breaks to acclimate our bodies and had an early dinner. The miso soup was a blessing. Everyone wore highly effective cold-weather gear as we made our way to the summit. The air was thin, so we took deep, long breaths one at a time. The breathtaking sunset was truly overwhelming. After about an hour of waiting, excited by the increasing number of stars, I saw a multitude of stars I had never seen before, each twinkling felt so close. The telescope showed us the bands of Jupiter and four planets clearly! The lecture about constellations and the movement of stars was easy to understand and great. On the way back, I became so sleepy that I nearly fell asleep until we arrived, but they kindly dropped me off at the entrance of my accommodation, providing excellent service until the very end. Thanks to the attentive care from our two guides, this tour filled with first-time experiences became a fun and worry-free time that flew by.

初めてのハワイ島、初めてのネイチャーツアー、わからないことだらけで出発しましたが、もう心配なんてすぐに吹っ飛び、感動の連続！マウナケアに登り始めてすぐ、３か所で美しい虹に出会えました。休憩をこまめに取りながら、体を慣らして、早めの夕食。お味噌汁がありがたい。防寒効果の高いウエアを全員が身に着けて山頂へ。空気が薄いので、ひと呼吸ずつ深く長く。で、ゆっくりと沈む美しいサンセセットに圧倒的感動。少しずつ増える星の数にワクワクしながら待つこと１時間ほどで、見たことのない星の数、一つ一つの輝きがとても近くに感じる。望遠鏡で見せてくれた木星の筋と惑星４つまでくっきり！星座についてのレクチャー、星の動き、わかりやすくてよかった。帰りは我慢できないほど眠くなったので、到着までほぼ爆睡してしまいましたが、宿泊先の入り口まで送っていただき、最後の最後まで至れり尽くせり。ガイドのお二人、細やかにケアしていただいたおかげで、初めてづくしのツアーで安心して楽しいあっという間の時間になりました。

Boat is well kitted out with good gear. Staff are on hand to help and provide support if required. Breakfast and lunch were perfect for a morning on the water. Even got to try paddle boarding without having to pay extra for hire

My family and I greatly enjoyed this experience! Even my in laws who just stayed on the boat and watched from above enjoyed the view. These creatures are majestic and beautiful! We saw 8 rays and almost all of them got within a foot of me! I would recommend doing this activity for anyone just remember to take motion sickness meds as sometimes the water is choppy....

Every year during New Year's, I go to the Big Island (Waikoloa) and Oahu. My wife and I had our first submarine experience, and I couldn't believe we were diving more than 17 to 20 meters underwater. It was moving to see the ocean floor, coral reefs, various fish, and turtles. It was a wonderful experience.

There are four departures a day, but we chose the morning course with explanations and guidance in Japanese. Although the voice was a bit hard to hear, I was glad we chose the Japanese guidance. However, I was at the Atlantis office, and the explanations for the pier and boarding area were very unclear. I think it would have been better if there were signs or something similar.

毎年正月はハワイ島（ワイコロア）とオアフ島に行きます。妻と二人、初めての潜水艦体験で、海の中１７、２０メーター以上潜るとは信じられませんでした。海底、珊瑚礁、いろいろな魚、亀を見られたときは感動、感動。
素晴らしい体験でした。
１日４便ありますが、私たちは、午前中の日本語での説明、案内のコースを選びました。声が少々聞き取りにくかったですが、日本語での案内を選んで良かったと思いました。
ただ、アトランティスの事務所にいたのですが、桟橋と乗り場の説明がとてもわかりにくかったです。案内板等があれば良かったと思います。

I was looking for activities that even a one-year-old child could enjoy, and this was perfect for us! The colorful fish were clearly visible through the beautiful glass bottom of the boat, and luckily, we even encountered a pod of dolphins. The dolphins came right up next to the boat, which was so much fun.

The guide was very knowledgeable about the fish and was a wonderful person with a great sense of service. The explanations were in English, so those who understand English will enjoy it more, but even if you don't understand, the beauty of the sea itself means you won't be disappointed.

The boat ride lasts about an hour. The sea was calm, and the boat didn't rock, but since you tend to look down at the glass bottom, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to take some motion sickness medication. The meeting point was easy to find, and I think you'll spot the boat with the blue and yellow flags right away.

I definitely want to use this service again next time!

１歳の子供でも楽しめるアクティビティを探していたのですが、こちらはそんな私たちにぴったりでした！
カラフルな魚が、キレイなボートのグラス越しによく見えますし、ラッキーなことに、イルカの群にも遭遇できました。イルカたちは、ボートのすぐ側まで来てくれてとても楽しかったです。
ガイドさんは魚の知識が豊富で、サービス精神の溢れた素敵な方でした。説明は英語なので、英語が分かる方が楽しめますが、仮に分からなかったとしても海そのものが美しいので困るということはないと思います。
乗船時間は１時間ほどです。海は穏やかで船は揺れませんでしたが、うつむいて船底のガラスを眺めるので、船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいと思います。集合場所もわかりやすく、青と黄色の旗をつけたボートをすぐに見つけられると思います。
また次回も利用したいと思います！

They provide winter clothing, so you don't need to bring your own. After having a meal at the Onizuka Visitor Center, we took a four-wheel drive vehicle to the summit. I felt a bit unwell after running a little at the Onizuka Visitor Center, so it was tough for a while after reaching the top. Let's all try not to run.

The weather was clear on the day, and the views of the observatories from various countries, the sea of clouds, and the sunset were all amazing. For stargazing, they used a powerful laser pointer to explain the constellations, which made it easy to understand.

It's the best activity!

防寒用の衣類は貸してくれますので、持参しなくても大丈夫です。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで食事を摂ってから4輪駆動車で頂上まで上がります。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで少し走ってしまったため、頂上到着後、しばらく辛かったです。皆さん、走らないようにしましょう。
当日は晴天で、各国の天文台の眺め、雲海、サンセットの眺めも最高でした。星空観測も、強力なレーザーポインターを使って星座の説明をしてくれたので、よくわかりました。
最高のアクティビティです。

Our driver Brett was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the island history, very personable and really funny. We enjoyed all of the stops along the way. It was just an enjoyable day!

As we climbed higher into the sea of clouds, we truly felt the altitude of 4,200 meters. We all watched the sunset together, and then at a slightly lower point, we enjoyed stargazing. Unfortunately, since the moon was out, we couldn't see as many stars as we had hoped. With about 20 people (two cars) and only one telescope, it would have been nice to have at least one telescope for every ten people to enjoy it more leisurely. However, it was great to see both the Southern Cross and the Big Dipper at the same time!

雲海の中をどんどん登っていき　4200メートルを実感。夕陽をみんなで観て　少し下がった地点で　星空鑑賞。月が出ていたので　思っていたほどは　星が見えず　残念。20数名(車2台)に　望遠鏡が１台。せめて　10人程度で１台有れば　ゆっくり観れたのに。南十字星と北斗七星　同時に観れて良かった！

The manta rays really swirl right in front of you. You can almost touch them if you reach out, and they even bump into your underwater goggles or the camera you’re holding. It was an incredibly thrilling tour. The downside was the language barrier. My husband and I were the only Japanese people there, so we didn’t understand most of the explanations, but it was still manageable. Also, it was quite cold. The ocean at night gets chilly. The people around us didn’t seem to mind as much, so if you’re not sensitive to the cold, you should be fine.

While looking at the voucher at the hotel, I realized I had overlooked the part about confirming by phone at 4 PM. We were supposed to check in at a store in the shopping center at 6 PM and gather at the local port at 6:30 PM. We originally planned to have an early dinner near the shopping center, and since I wasn’t confident in my English skills, I went directly to the store before 4 PM, and they helped me with the check-in process then. For those staying at the Sheraton, you can depart from the port, which is just a short walk from the hotel, so you don’t need a car.

本当にマンタが目の前でぐるぐる回ります。手を伸ばせば触れるくらい、というか、水中メガネや手に持っていたカメラに、マンタからぶつかってくるくらいです。大迫力のツアーでした。難点は英語。日本人は私たち夫婦のみで、説明はほぼ分かりませんでしたが、それでも大丈夫、何とかなります。それと、結構寒いです。夜の海は冷えます。周りの人たちはそうでもなかったので、寒がりじゃなければ大丈夫でしょうか。ホテルでバウチャーを見ていると、16時に電話で確認というのを見落としていましたのに気付きました。18時にショッピングセンターにある店にチェックイン、18時半に現地の港に各自集合となっていましたが、元々ショッピングセンター近くで早めの夕食をとる予定で、電話は英語力に自信がなかったため、直接16時前に店に行き、その時にチェックイン手続きもしてくれました。シェラトンに宿泊している人は、ホテルから歩いてすぐの港から出発しますので車がなくても大丈夫です。

The bento was delicious. I was so happy with the miso! As we got closer to the summit, I started to feel dizzy, but Ishikawa-san kept encouraging me to take deep breaths and exhale slowly, which helped me avoid altitude sickness. His reassurance that there were oxygen tanks available if I couldn't handle it was comforting. At the summit, it was like a different world that I had never seen before! The sunset and the starry sky were incredibly beautiful. Thank you, Masa-san, for taking so many photos. I was moved again when I looked at them. I would like to join this tour again when I come back to the Big Island.

お弁当美味しかったです。味噌嬉しかったぁ〜 だんだん頂上へ近づくにつれ頭がクラクラきましたが石川さんが小まめにゆっくり大きく息を吸って口から全部だしますよ〜....と何度も声掛けしてくれ高山病にならず無事行って来れました。我慢出来なかったら酸素ボンベありますからね〜の言葉は安心出来ました。頂上では今まで見た事のない別世界！ 夕日も星空も最高にきれいでした。まささん、たくさん写真を撮って下さり有難うございました。写真を見てまた感動感動でした。
またハワイ島に来た時はこのツアーに参加したいと思います。

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing were both amazing. The summit is cold and the air is thin, but they provide warm clothing, and the altitude acclimatization is thorough, so most people can participate without issues. My wife was mostly sleeping due to altitude sickness, though...

The stargazing experience was unique as we could see both the North Star and the Southern Cross at the same time. It was fortunate that the weather was good, and it also helped that it was a night without the moon. Depending on which constellations you want to see, the timing (dates) may vary, so it might be a good idea to consult in advance.

マウナケア山頂からのサンセットも、星空観測も最高でした。
山頂は寒く空気も薄いのですが防寒着を貸してくれますし、高度順応が丁寧なので大抵の方は問題無く参加できます。私の妻は高山病で寝てばかりいましたが。。。
星空は北極星と南十字星が同時に見られるという貴重な体験も。じきがよかったこともありますが、月が出ていない夜に当たったことも良かったそうです。どんな星座が見たいのかによって時期（日付）が違いますので、事前に相談したら良いのかも知れません。

Its a great experience to go out in the Pacific. We were on a 2 people Kayak and made our way through the ocean while checking out Lava Tube caves, snorkeling and cliff jumping (30 ft).

I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious bento, and I was happy to have miso soup included! It was the perfect time as I was craving Japanese food!

The sunset was just beautiful! The tour guide, Ishikawa, captured both the sunset and the starry sky perfectly in photos, which made me really happy.

Ishikawa was kind enough to teach us, as we had just bought a camera and were inexperienced. He was so gentle, and I really relied on him!

Since it was close to a full moon, I was worried we wouldn't be able to see the stars, but we were able to see them perfectly. Masa's explanations about the stars were detailed, making it a really enjoyable tour! Thank you! :)

期待してなかったお弁当が美味しくて、お味噌汁まで付いてて嬉しくなりました
日本食が恋しいタイミングだったので！

夕日はとにかく綺麗でした！
夕日も星空もツアーガイドの石川さんがバッチリ写真に収めてくれて、本当に嬉しかったです

カメラを買ったばかりで不慣れな私たちに、親切に教えてくれた石川さん
優しくて、かなり頼ってしまいました！

ちょうど満月に近いタイミングだったので、星空見れないかな、と不安でしたが、バッチリ見ることもできて、マサさんの星の説明も詳しく、かなり楽しいツアーになりました！
ありがとうございました:)

This is not a Japanese tour, so the guide spoke entirely in English. The staff were friendly, and we had a lot of fun. There seemed to be an explanation about Captain Cook, but we couldn't understand it due to our zero English skills. (laughs) However, I recommend this tour for those who want to see beautiful seas and fish while snorkeling! The sailing was quite slow, allowing us to feel the great outdoors. I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness.

日本語ツアーではないので、ガイドは全て英語。
スタッフさんは気さくな方で、とても楽しかったです。
キャプテンクックについて説明があったようですが、英語力ゼロの私たちには理解できず。笑
でも、シュノーケルで綺麗な海と魚が見たい方にはオススメです！
セーリングもかなりゆっくりで大自然を感じながらのツアーでした^ ^
酔いやすい方はあまりオススメしません。

The weather was great, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset! When I mentioned it was my first time snorkeling, they kindly taught me how to do it. Whether you can see manta rays depends on the timing and conditions of the day, but when I went, I had the best experience of encountering eight manta rays that came close to the surface to feed on plankton. It was so close that I was amazed! After snorkeling, it started to rain and got cold, so if you're going, it might be a good idea to bring a larger towel or something to wear in case it rains; it could help with the cold.

天気にも恵まれキレイなサンセットが見れました！
シュノーケリングが初めてと伝えると丁寧に教えていただけました。
マンタは良く見れるかはその日のタイミングやコンディションによるかと思いますが、私が行ったときはベストで8マイのマンタに出会え、プランクトンを食べに海面近くまで来てくれました。
ぶつかるんじゃないかと思うくらい近かったので感動しました！
シュノーケリング後は雨が降ってきて寒かったので行かれる方は大きめのタオルや羽織れるものなどあるともし雨が降っても寒さはマシかもです。

On May 20th, the weather was clear, and I thoroughly enjoyed the sunset. It seems that the tours fill up quickly, so it's best to make a reservation early. Also, due to the construction of a new observatory nearby, tours to the summit may be suspended for a while, so if you're planning to go, do it soon.

5月20日は晴天でサンセットを十分満喫しました。
すぐに満員になるツアーらしいので予約は早めに。
あと、新しい天文台の建設が近いので当分山頂へのツアーが休止になるかもしれないので行くなら早めに。

We did not have the best experience, but I think it's based more on our skill level than the tour itself. If you're not in good shape (physically fit) it can be difficult. Make sure you use sunscreen ahead of time. The instructions when we signed up said that you would be provided reef safe sunscreen, however, that was not offered. The rocks are difficult to climb up on and if you don't have proper foot wear you can be easily injured. I think the tour is probably great for more "fit" people... We don't know because we left halfway through. I would stress that there is risk involved in this activity and life jackets are provided but not mandatory (in my opinion should be mandatory).

Guide was informative and friendly. On time performance and tour went well beyond what I thought was included in the days activities. Great to look at the stars through the telescope and have explanation of the skies (for a novice like me). Ride up and back to the summit of Mauna Kea was bumpy at times and a little daunting but not nearly as difficult as some made it out to be. Elevation did not bother me.

It was quite an emotional time.
Among the participants, there was an elderly couple among the younger attendees.
First of all, I didn't have high expectations for the bento, but it was surprisingly delicious (laughs).
The staff's thoughtful advice for altitude sickness prevention was evident.
The carefully planned photo opportunities were great.
The sunset was so beautiful! The full moon... the stars...
Words cannot express it.
Next time, I will bring my grandchild, who loves astronomy, to join.
I'm sure that no matter how many times I participate, I will be captivated by the beauty of nature and experience new emotions. I'm really glad I participated.

なかなか感動の時間でした。
参加者が皆さん若い方の中に年寄り夫婦の参加でした。
まず　お弁当には期待していませんでしたが、なんと美味い（笑）
スタッフさんの心遣いが現れる高山病対策のアドバイス。
思考を凝らした写真撮影。
夕陽の落ちるのがこんなにも美しいものか！満月が・・・星が・・・
言葉では言い表せないです。
次回、天体大好きな孫も連れて参加いたします。
きっと何回参加しても自然の美しさに魅せられて、新たな感動だ出来ると確信します。参加して本当によかった。

It was incredibly wonderful, so I’ll write a review right away. The Mauna Kea mountain was, of course, amazing, but what made it special were the guides, Masaru and another person. (I was guided by Masaru.) The travel time was long, but they always kept the conversation going, which was enjoyable. I would like to come back at a different time to see the stars with Masashi Nature School. I’m going home tomorrow, but I’m glad to end with such lovely memories. Thank you very much.

凄く素晴らしかったので早速レビュー書きます。マウナケアの山はもちろん素晴らしかったのですが、それを素敵なものにしてくれたのは案内人のマサルさんとあと一人の方でした。(私はマサルさんに案内して頂きました。)移動中の時間が長いのですが、常にお話をして下さり楽しかったです。また時期をずらしてマサシネイチャースクールさんで星を見に来たいです。明日帰りますが、素敵な思い出で締めれて良かったです。ありがとうございました。

The main purpose of my stay on the Big Island was to participate in this tour, and I was 120% satisfied thanks to the wonderful weather. I thought the early pickup time would make for a long journey, but with BIG JIN's bright personality, his wealth of experience and knowledge, and his thoughtful attention, the time flew by and it was a truly enjoyable experience.

At the summit of Mauna Kea, I was able to take many photos with a DSLR, and the pictures I downloaded after returning home are truly amazing. The photo of me flying through the sky on MASA's personal broom is a treasure.

Experiencing the sunset and the starry sky of the new moon allowed me to feel the connection between Earth and the universe, instilling a deep respect for nature—an unparalleled experience. When I visit the Big Island again, I would love to rely on this tour company once more and meet JIN and MASA again.

ハワイ島滞在の一番の目的は、このツアーに参加する事でしたが、
お天気にも恵まれ、満足度120％でした。
ピックアップの時間が早かったので、道中が長いと思っていたのですが、
BIG JINさんの明るいお人柄と、豊富な経験と知識に基づくお話、またきめ細やかな気配りで、あっという間の楽しい時間でした。
マウナケアの山頂では、一眼レフで沢山の写真を撮って頂き、帰国後ダウンロードした写真は本当に素晴らしいものばかり。
MASAさん私物のほうきにまたがって空を飛んだ写真は宝物です。
サンセットも新月の星空も、地球と宇宙を肌で感じ、大自然への畏敬の念を抱く、唯一無二の経験でした。
またハワイ島を訪れる際には、またこちらのツアー会社にお世話になり、
JINさん、MASAさんに会いたいです。

　

The weather was great, and we were able to see the best sunset! My heart was cleansed by its beauty. The guide was also very kind and interesting.

天気も良く最高のサンセットを見ることができました！美しさに心が洗われました。
ガイドの方もとても親切で面白い方でした。

A bright and entertaining guide came to greet us and explained various things about Hawaii in a fun way, keeping us engaged from start to finish! The guide's storytelling was just hilarious. We enjoyed the magnificent views of the Big Island of Hawaii from the summit. We were lucky enough to see the best sunset. This was the week after Golden Week. During this time, both Oahu and the Big Island had great weather, with hardly any rain. However, for stargazing, it was a full moon, so we couldn't see many stars; I recommend going during a new moon instead. Also, the mountain path to the summit is steep, so it's best to bring motion sickness medication.

In the evening, the guide played some lovely music, making for a romantic day. It was truly wonderful. If you're visiting Oahu, I highly recommend staying on the Big Island for at least a day and participating in this tour. We had a honeymoon that became a lifelong memory.

明るく面白いガイドさんがお迎えに来てくれ、楽しくハワイの様々なことを説明してくれ、最初から最後まで飽きなかった！
とにかくガイドさんの喋りが面白い。笑
頂上まで雄大なハワイ島の景色を堪能できます。
私達は運良く最高のサンセットを見れました。GW明けの次の週です。この時期はオアフ島もハワイ島も天気が良く、雨がほぼ降らなかったです。ただ、星空観測は満月だったため、星がそこまで見れなかったので、新月の時に行くのがおすすめです。あと、山頂までは山道が険しいの
で、酔い止めは持っていった方が良いでしょう。

夜はガイドさんが素敵な曲をかけてくれ、ロマンチックな1日になりました。凄いよかったです。是非オアフ島行かれる方は1日でも良いのでハワイ島に宿泊し、ツアーに参加してみてください。私達は一生の思い出になるハネムーンを過ごせました。

The marine activity introduced in the program "Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation" was truly enjoyable. The handsome guide who appeared on the show supported us during the experience.

On the day I participated, there were two groups, making a total of five people: a nice guy as the guide, two Japanese men, and two foreign women. We gathered at the meeting point at 9 AM. The office isn't located on the beach at Keauhou Bay; instead, they transport the kayaks using a pickup truck and trailer. We headed towards a general location, and if we were unsure, there were offices of other activity tour companies nearby where we could show our voucher and kindly ask for directions.

In the program, it seemed that the waves were too high to enter the caves, but on the day I participated, we were able to experience everything without any issues. We even got to dive from a considerable height of cliffs, which made the activity feel incredibly fulfilling.

After the tour, I was invited to lunch, but I had other plans for the afternoon, so I declined. However, I think I would have enjoyed it if I had gone.

When getting out of the water during snorkeling, there were times when the waves pulled us back, causing some scrapes and cuts on the lava rocks. One of my companions actually got a small cut on their finger and foot. I recommend bringing not only marine shoes but also marine gloves.

有吉の夏休み、という番組でも紹介されたマリンアクティビティ。まさに、その時番組に出てた男前ガイドさんがサポートしてくれました。
私が参加した日は2組の参加、ナイスガイのガイドさん、日本人男性2名、外国人女性2名の合計5名のツアーでした。
午前9時に現地集合。ケアウホウ湾のビーチにオフィスがあるわけではなく、ピックアップトラックとトレーラーにカヤックを載せて運んでくるスタイル。だいたいの場所を目指して行き、わからなければ他のアクティビティツアー会社の事務所があるので、バウチャーを見せて聞けば親切に案内していただけました。
番組では、波が高く洞窟には入れなかったようですが、私の参加した日は問題なくすべて体験できました。相当な高さのクリフからもダイブすることが出来、アクティビティのやった感は半端ないです。
ツアー終了後にランチに誘われましたが、午後からの予定を別に組んでいたためお断りしましたが、行っても楽しめただろうな～。
シュノーケリングから岩場に上がる際、波の引き戻しで溶岩の岩場で擦り傷切り傷を負うことがあり、実際に同行者が指と足を少しだけ切りました。マリンシューズだけでなくマリングローブの持参がお勧めです。

Staff was great took extra time to make it great learning!

The day I participated, the weather was bad with rain and wind, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see the sunset or the starry sky. However, when we reached the summit, the rain stopped, the clouds cleared, and I was able to enjoy the sunset. The starry sky was beautiful, and it was a fun tour!

参加した日は雨風で天候が悪く、サンセットも星空も見えないのでは・・・と不安の中ツアーが進みましたが、山頂につくと雨がやみ、雲も流れていきサンセットを楽しめました。星空もきれいで楽しいツアーでした！

Before climbing to the summit, we took a break at the Onizuka Visitor Center. They served a dinner bento, and the miso soup was truly delicious! I regret asking for only half a serving because I have a small appetite.
The path to the summit was bumpy. First, we waited for the sunset. The guide took many fun photos using the setting sun (like the Kamehameha wave and the classic pose of holding the sun with our hands). After the sun went down, we eagerly awaited the starry sky. Using a laser pointer, the guide provided detailed information about the stars. We also got to take group photos with the stars in the background.
If I come back to the Big Island, I definitely want to join this tour again.

山頂に登る前にオニヅカビジターセンターで休憩します。そこで夕食のお弁当が出るのですが、お味噌汁が本当においしい！小食なので、みそ汁半分にして下さいと言ってしまったのが悔やまれます。
山頂まではガタガタ道。まずは夕日を待ちます。ここでは沈みゆく太陽を使った面白い写真（カメハメ波や、お決まりの手に太陽を乗せている風のポーズ）をガイドさんがたくさん撮って下さいました。夕日が沈んでからはお待ちかねの星空。レーザーポイントを使いながら星について詳しく教えてくれます。星をバックにグループごとに写真も撮ってもらえました。
またハワイ島に来たら絶対にこのツアーに参加しようと思います。
