Tears! Tears! 涙！涙！

Reviewed by: jeke143

It's been years since I've felt this moved. Our guide, M, carefully taught us about local gourmet food, traffic rules, and manners. The next day, we had a long drive to Hilo, so it was very helpful. M was fun to talk to and very considerate, making the bus ride relaxing. We had lunch at the Onizuka Center, and although I had no expectations, it was unexpectedly delicious (laughs). I had eaten a hearty lunch beforehand, so I wasn't hungry, which was a bit disappointing.

Then, it was time for the hike. I was so sleepy—just incredibly tired. M tried to keep us awake with conversation, but I was still drowsy. Somehow, we made it to the summit. "Is this Earth? Is this Hawaii?" I couldn't find the words. M became a guide because she participated in this tour. She said, "My life changed." While watching the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds with my wife, I cried. Somehow, the worries I had seemed small and insignificant when I saw that sunset. (Though once I return to Japan, I'll probably be back to worrying about little things again.)

After that, we moved down to stargaze. At first, there weren't many stars, and I thought, "Well, this is it." But gradually, more stars appeared, and before I knew it, I was looking at a sky sprinkled with stars, and I cried again. The sunset was amazing, but the starry sky was also heart-stirring. M carefully explained the constellations using a laser pointer. Along the way, the warm tea and biscuits were delicious too. Finally, after we got off the bus, M dashed back to deliver my forgotten sunglasses. I was moved that she took the time to check for lost items. I can't express how much I was touched. The other participants were also very well-mannered, making it a very comfortable experience. Next time, I want to go to Mauna Kea with Masashi.

こんなに、感動したのは何年ぶりだろう。ｶﾞｲﾄﾞの方（Mちゃん）は、地元のｸﾞﾙﾒや交通ﾙｰﾙ、ﾏﾅｰ等を丁寧に教えてくれた。翌日、ﾋﾛまでﾛﾝｸﾞﾄﾞﾗｲﾌﾞだったので参考になった。話が楽しく、思いやりのある方でﾊﾞｽの中もﾘﾗｯｸできた。ｵﾆｽﾞｶｾﾝﾀｰでお弁当を食べたが、全く期待していなかったが、予想外（笑い）に美味しかった。ﾗﾝﾁをしっかり食べてきて、おなかがすいてなかったので残念でした。
そして、いざ、登山。『眠い』とにかく眠い。Mちゃんがいろいろ眠気さましに、お話しするが眠い。
なんとか、山頂につきました。『ここ、地球？』『ここﾊﾜｲ？』言葉にならないです。Mちゃんがｶﾞｲﾄﾞさんに転職したのは、このﾂｱｰに参加したから。『人生かわりました』とのこと。雲海に沈みゆく夕陽を家内と見ながら、泣いてました。なんか、悩んでることなんか、このサンセットおみると、小さく、どうでもよいことののうに思えてきました。（日本に帰りしばらくするとまた、小さいことに悩む日々ですが）そのあと、下に移動して星空観賞。最初は、あまり星がなく、『まあ、こんなもんか』と思っていたら、徐々に星がでてきて、気が付けば、お星さまを振りまいた空を見、また涙。ｻﾝｾｯﾄも最高だったけど、星空も心揺さぶる。ﾚｰｻﾞｰﾎﾟｲﾝﾀｰを使いながら、丁寧に星座の説明をしてくれる。途中で暖かい紅茶とﾋﾞｽｹｯﾄも美味しかった。最後に、ﾊﾞｽを降た後、Mちゃんが猛ダッシュ、で『ｻﾝｸﾞﾗｽ！』と忘れ物と届けてくれた。ちゃんと忘れ物の確認してることに、ここでも感動。どれだけ、感動したんだろう。他の参加者の方も、ﾏﾅｰが良く、とても快適でした。今度は、ﾏｻｼでﾏｳﾅｹｱに行きたいですね。

It was disappointing, but it was the best! 残念でしたが最高でした？

Reviewed by: ヨシオ

Unfortunately, the summit was closed due to snow, so we had to give up on the sunset. However, we descended a bit and found a spot without clouds, where we were able to see the most amazing starry sky. This was all thanks to our fantastic guide. He helped us find the location and provided detailed explanations about the Orion constellation, the Andromeda Nebula, and various other constellations using a telescope. I owe a big thanks to JIN OTAKA from your group’s nature school and his great partner. Thank you!

I accidentally forgot to give a tip, so I called your company and arranged to leave it at the hotel front desk for Jin to pick up later, which relieved me. It would have been too regrettable not to do so after such a fun guiding experience. I highly recommend everyone to take advantage of this service!

残念だったのは山頂が雪でクローズでしたので夕日は断念。

Morning Cruise - saw multiple whales

Reviewed by: Jonathan Smits

Because it was a morning cruise, they made good on sighting whales. There were multiple sightings. The amount of time on the boat was good, because after the sightings, I could actually relax and just enjoy the rest of the boat ride. The refreshments were tremendous. The crew was very generous and informative. I know the crew couldn't get as close as I would have liked, because of regulations, but I sure would have liked to have closer pictures and more majestic surfacings. But, overall we were happy with the cruise.

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: Hero-Taka84

Personally, this was my third time at the summit of Mauna Kea, after visiting 20 years ago and 8 years ago. The experience was similar, including hotel pickup and a break at the Onizuka Visitor Center. However, this time, the guide, Big JIN, was entertaining, making the sunset and stargazing enjoyable. Although it was said to feel like -20 degrees, the rental cold-weather gear provided was perfect. Additionally, there was a unique service for this tour where they later shared photos taken against the backdrop of the sunset at the summit and stunning starry sky photos that are difficult for travelers to capture online. If you're in Hawaii, the Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

個人的には20年前、8年前、そして今回の3度目のマウナケア山頂でした。
ホテルピックアップから途中のオニズカ・ビジターセンターの休憩など内容は一緒でした。ただ今回は日本人（ビッグJINさん）のガイドが面白くて楽しくサンセット・星空観察が出来ました。体感温度ー20度と言われましたがレンタルしてくれる防寒着も完ぺきでした。また多分このツアー独自のサービスでしょうが山頂の夕日バックの写真や旅行者では撮りにくい満天の星空写真を後日ネットで配信するなどのサービスがついていました。
ハワイ島なら絶対外せないマウナケア山頂サンセット＆星空観測。おススメです。

Due to the bad weather, I couldn't climb... 天候不順でのぼれず。。。

Reviewed by: やすこ

Ultimately, we couldn't reach the summit of the mountain and had to stop at the Onizuka Center. Like others have shared in their experiences, I understand that it's a natural occurrence, but the $15 refund is simply too inadequate. If it had been a bit more, it would have eased my feelings. Additionally, my elderly mother was exhausted from being in the car for such a long time.

If the refund policy doesn't change or if there are no suggestions for leaving midway, I cannot recommend this to others.

There were other tour participants who mentioned they had to make a second attempt after not being able to go up the day before, and they felt like they wasted two days.

The only enjoyable part was listening to Mr. Jin, who guided the tour, share his knowledge in the car. He was very knowledgeable and spoke in detail about flowers, history, and volcanoes.

Aside from that, to be honest, nothing about this experience is worth the price. I just want to inform those who will participate in the future that not being able to go up is a disaster!

I was moved by the wonderful sunset and the sky full of stars. 素晴らしい夕日と空いっぱいの星で感動

Reviewed by: コビトカバ

What a wonderful tour to drive to the summit higher than Mount Fuji and observe the sunset and starry sky! Experienced staff will take you close to the summit of Mauna Kea while helping you acclimatize to the altitude to avoid altitude sickness. You can also see the Subaru Telescope at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Hawaii up close, enjoying the sunset and taking photos in the clear air.

To avoid any issues with astronomical observation, you will descend from the summit within 30 minutes of sunset and stop at a suitable location for stargazing and photography of constellations. The low light pollution allows you to see many stars. This is undoubtedly a unique tour that I highly recommend for the Big Island.

There are regular restroom breaks on the way to the summit, and there are portable toilets at the summit. While some may have reservations about using portable toilets, a little patience is necessary. On the day I went, there was no wind and it wasn't too cold, but at an altitude of over 4200 meters, your body can get cold after a long stay, so I recommend bringing a compact down jacket and a hat.

Since only 200 people can reach the summit in a day, it's a good idea to make your tour reservation early.

富士山より高い山頂へ車で行き夕日と星空観測、なんとステキなツアーでしょう♪
慣れたスタッフが高山病にならないよう高度に順応させながらお客様をマウナケアの山頂近くへ連れて行ってくれます。
そして日本の誇る国立天文台ハワイ観測所すばる望遠鏡も間近に望み、澄んだ空気の中を沈んでゆく太陽を眺め写真撮影。
天文観測の障害とならないよう日没から30分以内に山頂を降り途中の星空観測に適した場所で星座の観測と写真撮影をしてくれます。
チリが少ない環境はとても多くの星を見ることが出来ます。
ハワイ島ならではのツアーであることは間違いなく是非お勧めします。

山頂に行くまでもこまめにトイレタイムが設けられ、山頂には簡易トイレが設置されています。簡易トイレは抵抗のある人もいるかと思いますが、そこはちょっと我慢も必要です。
行った日は風も無くそれほどの冷え込みでは無いとのことでしたが、やはり高度4200ｍ超えると長時間の滞在は体が冷えてきますので、自分でもコンパクトにしまえるダウンや帽子等用意される事をお勧めします。

1日に200人までしか登頂できないとのこと、早めのツアー予約も心掛けると良いかと思います。

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

Where's the Mantas?

Reviewed by: Ilse

This was my second Manta experience and I was disappointed not to see a manta. There were a lot of boats out looking, I counted 15 at one time and it was just before dusk. On a previous Manta experience it was later so I wonder if they prefer to feed later when it's completely dark? I felt like I got to the party early and the cool kids showed up after I left. There was no lack of plankton however, so we were amused by the fish that gathered; an entire school under our light. I've gotten used to the 'entertainment' boat staff provides which makes an excursion more fun. This excursion was rather perfunctory. Go out, hop in the water, no manta, ok, go back. Everyone was rather disappointed not to see Mantas, so I'm not sure if that made going back seem rather glum. I realize these are wild creatures but my last excursion (with another company) there were quite a few Manta, like 6-8? It was an incredible experience that I wanted to repeat with my husband and was disappointed.

A tour that changes your perspective on life. 人生観の変わるツアー

Reviewed by: あんでぃ

It had been since elementary school since I last entered the sea. Not even sure if I could swim, I bought a swimsuit and participated anyway. Before getting on the boat, I took motion sickness medication, applied sunscreen, and set sail with some anxiety.

However, the beautiful sea and sky that unfolded before me quickly blew away my worries.

Fortunately, I encountered dolphins at a reef where they only play when they're in a good mood. It was a wonderful experience. It was truly a playful interaction with the dolphins. They didn't just swim past me; I was surrounded by dozens of dolphins from all sides, even at my feet—it felt like a dream.

I dove three times. Even in the deep sea, I felt no fear when jumping in. I was surprisingly filled with excitement and anticipation.

I was also drawn to the personality of our guide, realizing that there are people who can live such wonderful lives. It made me reflect on the importance of being mindful of everything I choose to engage with. I expressed to my husband, who joined me, that I want to avoid things that harm nature or animals as much as possible. I decided to study nature more and see it up close.

Ah, if only I could swim better…! I definitely want to come back someday.

海に入るのは小学生ぶり。自分が泳げるかどうかも分からない状態で、取り敢えず水着だけ買って参加しました。
ボートに乗る前に、酔い止めを飲み、日焼け止めを塗り、不安を抱えながらも出港。
目の前に広がった美しい海と空に、不安は一気に吹き飛びました。

運良く、イルカさんがご機嫌な時しか遊ばないというリーフでイルカさんに遭遇。
素晴らしい体験をしてきました。
言葉通りイルカさんとの戯れ。群れが自分の周りを通り過ぎるなんてものではなかったです。
前後左右、足元にも数十頭のイルカさんに囲まれて、夢のようでした。
ダイブは3回。深い海でも、飛び込む際の怖さは一切なかったです。自分でもびっくりするくらいワクワクドキドキしかなかった。

ガイドさんの人間性にも惹かれ、こんなにステキな生き方ができる人もいるのだなぁと。
もっと、自分の手に取るもの一つ一つに意思を持たなくてはならないと考えさせられました。
自然を侵すものや、どうぶつへ痛みを与えるもの、なるべく避けて暮らしていきたいなと、まずは自然のことをもっと勉強してみよう、もっと間近に見に行ってみよう、と一緒に参加した主人と話をしました。

ああ、それにしてももっと、泳げたらなぁ…！
いつかまた、かならず戻ってきたいです。

This trip was a really fun experience as a contrast to the normal beach and ocean explorations that a visit to Hawaii normally includes.
The guide was very informative and the trip was planned well. The van was very comfortable (big Mercedes).
Climbing above the clouds made it feel like we were going to another world. The sunset from the top amongst all the observatory domes was incredibly colorful and the photography was cool with the domes.
The second part when we went down the mountain and set up the telescopes was fun too. The guide had an excellent presentation and mastery of the topics.
