I was able to fully enjoy the dynamic sunset.
I had special photos taken using the sunset (like making the sunset shine with my fingertips, posing like Kamehameha, jumping, etc.), and I was able to download them as well.
I also enjoyed the starry sky. I was very satisfied to confirm my zodiac sign, Scorpio.
The stargazing seminar was also fantastic!
ダイナミックなサンセットを満喫できました。
夕日を使った「特殊写真」(指先で夕日が輝く!、カメハメハを演技、ジャンプ等々)を撮影いただきダウンロードもできました。
星空も満喫できました。自分の星座である「さそり座」を確認でき大満足。

The tour started with two vans guided by Matsuzaki and Konno. The Subaru Telescope was amazing, and I felt the greatness of Japanese technology through the guide's explanations. The summit was cloudy, and we could occasionally observe stars (since we were at the mercy of nature), but the guide worked hard to find a viewpoint where the Milky Way looked like a sky full of stars. I was very satisfied!
マツザキさんとコンノさんのガイドで2台のバンでツアー開始
スバル天文台が素晴らしい、ガイドさんの説明で日本技術の素晴らしさを感じた。
山頂は曇りで、たまに星が観測(自然が相手だけに)できたが、ガイドさんが頑張って、
天の川が満点の星空に見えるビューポイントを探して、大変満足!
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. Matsuzaki and Konno can be called the golden combination of our sunset tour. They work perfectly together, and I highly recommend them as guides. Even if the weather isn't great, they do their best to show you the starry sky. They are very dedicated, so please join us for another one of our tours next time.

We challenged ourselves to kayaking for the first time as a group of four, and it was great to set off in a tandem kayak. However, it felt like we had to paddle hard to avoid being pushed back by the waves, so I'm glad we weren't in single kayaks. One person did get seasick and had to take a break at the snorkeling point, and after that, they had to give up halfway! Everyone, don't forget to take motion sickness medication! Even though I took it beforehand, if you're not feeling well, please don't push yourself.
4人で初めてカヤックに挑戦、二人乗り用のカヤックに乗り出発したのは良いですが
盛漕ぎしないと波に戻される感じで、一人乗りじゃなくて良かったです

Highly recommend the use of the shuttle. Process was so convenient and affordable. I booked online 2 days out from my arrival, got an email confirmation the next day, as soon as I got off the plane I saw a lady in a green floral Roberts holding a sign with my name on it. She gave me a shell necklace so I was easily recognizable, instructed me to get my luggage and wait by the shuttles. There were 2 Roberts shuttles and I got one to myself. The driver Mike was friendly and gave me a map and went over a few interesting sites before we departed the airport. He suggested I sit up front so he can talk to me en route. Kona is about a 15 min drive. He took a slight detour so he could show me where some of the nice restaurants, shops, and farmers market, etc was before dropping me off at the hotel. It was a wonderful start to my vacation on the Big Island.

The veteran captain carefully considered the habits of the dolphins and the interactions with other boats when deciding on the points, so we were able to swim with the dolphins four times (he even extended one session for those who couldn't see them). I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

The guide's stories, which didn't quite match the Hawaiian atmosphere, were interesting. At the summit of the 4,000-meter mountain, I realized how thin the air was as even the slightest movement made it hard to breathe. However, that day featured a breathtaking sunset that is rarely seen, with the sun setting in a sky that burned bright red, which was truly wonderful and moving. I was very happy to have my husband take a photo with that backdrop. The stargazing tour didn't have a full sky of stars, but I was satisfied to see the Milky Way stretching long across the sky.

They called the pod of dolphins and positioned the boat ahead of them. When I entered the water following their instructions, there were so many dolphins! Sleeping dolphins, dolphins on the move, and I was very lucky to encounter dolphins every time I entered the water. The snorkeling afterward was also fantastic, with many fish to see, and they introduced us to sightseeing spots along the way, allowing us to see places we wouldn't have been able to visit on our own. It was amazing!
イルカの群れの流れを呼んでくれて、船で先回りしてくれます。指示を受けて海に入るとたくさんのイルカが!寝ているイルカ、移動中のイルカ、海に入る度にイルカに会え、非常にラッキーでした。その後のシュノーケリングもたくさんの魚に会え、途中に観光スポットも紹介してもらい、自分では行けないところも見れて最高でした!

I was able to enjoy everything from the 3 PM pickup until returning to the hotel. I had a fulfilling time with the guide's stories during the journey, the meal break at the Onizuka Center, photo opportunities along the way, the sunset, and stargazing.
It was my first time seeing such a beautiful Milky Way, and I don't think I'll have another chance like this in the future. I had an incredibly good experience.
I believe this is something everyone should do at least once.
15時のピックアップから、ホテルに帰って来るまで全てを通して楽しむことができました。
移動中のガイドさんのお話やオニヅカセンターでの休憩食事、途中での写真タイム、サンセット、星空観測と充実した時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
あんなに綺麗な天の川を見れたのはこれが初めてで、今後もなかなかないんじゃないかとおもいます。
非常にいい経験をさせてもらいました。
この経験は一度はするべきだとおもいます。
Thank you, Tom, for sharing your experience.
The photos you posted are really beautiful!
Mauna Kea is higher than Mount Fuji, so the air is thinner and the stars are truly stunning.
The night sky changes completely with the seasons, so how about visiting during a different season next time you come to the island?
Also, the sunrise from Mauna Kea offers a magnificent view!
It's a sight that every traveler visiting the Big Island should see at least once!
Thank you very much for using Masashi's Nature School.

My wife, her aunt, and I participated in this activity together. My wife's aunt is 75 years old and it was her first time snorkeling. The large boat was sleek and white, but we were the only Japanese among the staff and other guests, which made us a bit anxious... Although we couldn't communicate well, the staff was kind. My wife's aunt was able to safely experience snorkeling and saw yellow and blue fish. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and a bit windy, causing the boat to sway, and both my wife and her aunt got seasick before lunch, so they couldn't enjoy the delicious hamburgers. We didn't encounter a pod of dolphins, but on the way back to the port, four dolphins appeared at the stern of the boat, which made my wife's aunt very happy.
私達夫婦と妻の叔母の3人で参加しました。叔母は75歳でシュノーケリングは初めてす。真っ白でカッコイイ大型ボートでしたが、スタッフやお客さんの中で日本人は私達だけで不安・・・会話は通じなかったがスタッフは親切でした。叔母さんも無事シュノーケリングを体験し黄色や青い魚を見ました。残念ながら曇りと少し風がありボートが揺れて、昼食前に妻と叔母は船酔いで、美味しいハンバーガーを食べられませんでした。イルカの群れには遭遇できなかったが、帰港途中で船尾に4頭のイルカが現れ、叔母に喜んでもらえました。

I participated in this tour because I wanted to see wild mantas, which you have a high chance of encountering. Since I had rented a car, I opted for a meeting point, but it was a bit difficult to find. The meeting place is at Honokohau Harbor, not Honokohau Marina (you need to take the first right after entering the side road from the highway), and I wandered around the area for a while.
The tour had a mixed team of foreigners and Japanese, and there was a Japanese-speaking guide as well. After departing, we headed to the manta spot on a high-speed boat while enjoying a very beautiful sunset. The 20-minute journey was thrilling at high speed. Although I usually don’t get seasick, I felt a bit queasy.
Once we arrived, we put on our snorkeling gear and floated on the surface, waiting for the mantas to come. It was exhilarating to see the mantas swimming close by, coming to eat the plankton in the water. I had never seen such a sight, with their mouths wide open.
However, the mantas weren't always in sight; in fact, we spent more time waiting while floating on the surface. It seems that this tendency is more pronounced on bright full moon nights.
All in all, it was a very impressive and extraordinary experience that is hard to come by.
一度は見てみたかった野生のマンタに高確率で遭遇できるとのことで、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
レンタカーを借りていたので現地集合にしましたが、集合場所はやや分かりにくいです。ホノコハウマリーナではなくホノコハウハーバー(ハイウェイから脇道に入って一つ目の分岐を右)の最も奥が集合場所で、しばらく付近をさ迷ってしまいました。
ツアーは外国の方と日本人の混成チームで、日本語のガイドの方もいらっしゃいます。
出航後は、非常に美しい夕日を見ながら高速ボートでマンタスポットまで向かいます。20分程の道のりは、ハイスピードでスリル満点。盛り上がりましたが、普段乗り物酔いしない私でもやや船酔いしました。
到着後は、シュノーケルを装置して海面に浮かび、マンタがやって来るのを待ちます。海中のプランクトンを食べにやって来たマンタが至近距離をグルグルと泳ぐ姿は美しく、非常に興奮しました。マンタの口の中まで丸見えで、あのような光景は見たことがありませんでした。
ただ、ずっとマンタが視界にいる訳ではなく、寧ろ海面に浮きながら待機する時間の方が長いです。満月の明るい夜はそのような傾向があるとのことです。
何はともあれ、なかなかできない非日常な体験ができ、非常に印象的でした。

First, when we arrived at the harbor and headed to the meeting point, the staff member, Tori-chan, greeted us very cheerfully and friendly! On that day, there were two couples, my husband and I, and a newlywed couple, along with four Japanese staff members from Honolulu participating.
Despite the small number of people, we got to ride on a large rubber boat! The edge of the rubber boat was designed like a banana boat, allowing us to enjoy activities while watching the beautiful sunset. As soon as we arrived, the sun began to set, and we all enjoyed the stunning sunset together, taking photos.
Once the sun went down and we looked at the sea, there were manta rays right there!! We quickly got ready and headed into the water! The sight of three manta rays dancing was exhilarating. Without having to wait for the manta rays to come to us, they approached us repeatedly, coming so close that we could almost touch them!!
The thirty minutes flew by, and the other tour guests returned to the boat. Tori-chan and the other staff members were very attentive, providing support and encouragement to me since I couldn't swim, allowing me to enjoy watching the manta rays without any anxiety. The only downside was that my camera didn’t work well, and I couldn’t take any photos underwater.
On the way back, we enjoyed a relaxing time under the full moonlight and the night view of Kona. With the banana boat ride, sunset, full moon, and night view, this tour offered many wonderful experiences beyond just the manta rays!!
At the end of the tour, we received a cute graduation certificate from Manta University. What kind of certificate it is will be a surprise for those who participate in the tour. Thank you so much, Tori-chan, the captain, and all the staff from Honolulu. Such a wonderful and emotional experience is rare! If you come to the Big Island, I definitely think you should join this tour.
まず、ハーバーに着いて集合場所に向かうと、スタッフの鳥ちゃんがとても明るくフレンドリーに話し掛けてくれました!当日は私たち夫婦と新婚さん夫婦の二組、そしてホノルルから来た日本人のスタッフさん4人の参加でした。
少ない人数ながら、大きいゴムボートに‼
ゴムボートの端じっこはバナナボートみたいになっていて、綺麗な夕日を見ながら、アクティビティーを満喫できます。
到着したと同時に、夕日が沈み始め、すごくキレイなサンセットをみんなで観賞したり、写真を撮ったり。
夕日が沈み、海を見ると、もうマンタがすぐそこに!!
早々に準備し、いざ海へ!
3枚のマンタが踊る姿に興奮がとまりません。マンタが来てくれるのを待つこともなく、次々に3枚のマンタが何度も何度も触ってしまう距離まで
来てくれました!!
あっという間の30分間が終わり、他のツアー客もみんなボートへ。
鳥ちゃんや他のスタッフさんが泳げない私への声掛けやフォローを丁寧にしてくれて、少しの不安もなく、マンタが踊る姿を楽しめました。ただ、カメラがうまく機能せず、海の中の写真が全然取れなかったのだけが残念です・・。
帰りは、満月の月明かりとコナの夜景にうっとりしながら、まったりとした時間を過ごす事ができました。
バナナボートにサンセット、満月に夜景と、このツアーではマンタ以外にもいくつもの感動が味わえました!!
また、ツアーの最後にマンタ大学のかわいい卒業証書がもらえます。どんな卒業証書かは、ツアーに参加してのお楽しみに。
鳥ちゃん、船長さん&ホノルルスタッフのみなさん本当にお世話になりました。こんな素敵な感動体験はめったにできません!
ハワイ島に来たなら、是非参加してみるべきツアーだと思います。

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. We chose a tour that gathered at the meeting point, and although we arrived early at the port by rental car, we got lost because the port was so large (we had received a clear map in advance, but I forgot it at the hotel...) and ended up being over 15 minutes late to meet everyone! I felt really bad for making the tour group wait, but the staff welcomed us with smiles, which made me feel so relieved.
Once everything was ready, we finally set sail! The captain sped the boat up, and when I straddled the edge of the boat, it felt like a thrilling roller coaster ride! (Of course, you can also sit inside the boat). The sunset reflecting on the sparkling sea was incredibly beautiful.
Just as our excitement peaked, we arrived at Manta Point. There were many manta tour boats floating on the water, creating a very magical and beautiful scene. Then, we finally got to go into the water! The seawater was a bit warm, and since they provided us with wetsuits, I didn't feel cold at all.
We took out a small floating boat from the main boat and held onto it. I was a bit worried since I can't swim, but the staff assisted us, so there was no problem at all! We set up our snorkels and waited for the mantas while peering into the water.
And then!!! The long-awaited manta appeared! At first, we saw it swimming just below us, which was exciting enough, but then it turned and spun right in front of us! I was thrilled to see the manta so close that I could see its skeleton and gills! Unfortunately, that was the only time it came so close, but we saw several mantas swimming gracefully.
After getting back on the boat, we sped through the dark sea like a roller coaster again. Unlike the outbound trip, the lights from the land were so beautiful against the dark sea.
I was truly excited until the very end! Next time, I definitely want to join the dolphin tour on the Big Island! The staff were bright and fun, and I was very satisfied! Thank you!

海水は少し温かめで、ウェットスーツも貸して頂けたので全く寒くなかったです。
船から小さな浮くボートのようなものをだし、そこにつかまります。私は泳げないので少し心配だったのですが、スタッフの方がアテンドしてくれたので全く問題ないです!
シュノーケルをセットして、水中をのぞきながらマンタを待ちます。
そしてそして!!!念願のマンタが!私達の浮いている下の方を泳いでいるのが最初は見え、それだけでも興奮したのに、次ぎは目の前でくるりと回転してくれたのです!骨格からえらの中まで見れるくらい目の前にいるマンタに大興奮!!残念ながらそこまで近くに来てくれたのはその一回でしたが、何枚かのマンタが優雅に泳いでいるのが見えました。
船に上がって、またジェットコースターのように暗い海を走ります。往路とは違い、暗い海から陸の光がとても綺麗でした。

It was a very short trip and we only saw 1 cave and a very small one. The guide was great, however due to the approaching hurricane he said that it was not save going further. I'm not an expert on weather, but the waters/wind did not change for the entire time we were there. If I would've known what it was going to be, I would've prefer they had cancelled the trip and we would have either planned for another day or received our refund.

But despite me getting pretty seasick, being in the water and experiencing these magnificent and majestic fish feeding was an amazing experince. I so much wanna do it again - but next time without being seasick :) Thanks to the crew and captain for being so nice to me
We are happy you had a pleasurable experience minus being seasick. It does affect some of us more than others. We always have remedies on board to assist with seasickness. A Hoi Hou!

WE have a great time. The weather was nice and the company was great. We paid for the pictures so that we would never forgot what a great time we had. The part where they wet you feet was awesome. If we ever come back to the area again we plan to try one more time. While up in the air we got to see a school of dolphins.

The moon was a thin crescent, so without being disturbed by the lights, I was able to fully enjoy the perfectly clear starry sky for the third time. My son and I said, "I wish Mom could have seen this," remembering my wife who passed away last year. I hope many people get to see this.
月が細い三日月だったので、あかりに邪魔されず、正に満天のクリアーな星空を3度目の参加で堪能することがて巻きました。息子と2人「お母さんにも見せたかったね」と昨年亡くなった妻を偲んだ次第です。是非多くの人に見てもらいたいとおもいます。
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear you were able to enjoy the starry sky with so little moonlight. I'm very sorry to hear about your wife. We will continue to strive to allow as many people as possible to see the stars of Mauna Kea. Thank you very much for using Masashi's Nature School. We look forward to your next visit to the island, Mr. Harasawa.

月明かりの少ない満天の星空を堪能できたそうで良かったです。奥様のことに関しては非常に残念に思います。
弊社でもできうる限り多くの人にマウナケアの星を観ていただくためにこれからも努力していこうと思います。

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon, wanting to enjoy nature not only on Oahu but also on the Big Island. We participated in this popular tour and were very satisfied. We also joined the sunrise tour early in the morning, participating in both the sunrise and sunset tours in one day. I was unsure if it made sense to join similar tours twice, but I’m glad we did (it was quite physically demanding, though!). During the sunrise tour, there are fewer people at the summit of Mauna Kea, allowing us to quietly enjoy the starry sky and sunrise. Although it was dark and I was sleepy, making it hard to see the scenery around Mauna Kea during the sunrise tour, the sunset tour allowed us to enjoy the views at a leisurely pace. The fact that the sun sets and rises in different places, and the starry sky looks different, made it worthwhile to see both. Personally, I was very happy to have seen the starry sky twice!
新婚旅行でハワイを訪れ、オアフ島だけでなく、ハワイ島で自然を満喫したいという思いでハワイ島を訪れました。そして人気のあるこのツアーに参加しましたが、大満足でした。私達は早朝にサンライズツアーにも参加しており、一日にサンライズとサンセット両方のツアーに参加しました。二回も同じようなツアーに参加する意味があるのか疑問でしたが、両方のツアーに参加してよかったと思います(体力的に結構ハードですが笑)。サンライズツアーの時間帯ではマウナケア山頂に行く人が少ないため、静かに星空やサンライズを見ることができます。サンライズツアーでは暗くて眠くてあまりマウナケア周辺の景色を見ることができませんでしたが、サンセットツアーではゆっくり景色を楽しむことができます。そして太陽が沈む、出てくる場所が違う、星空の顔が違うということで二度見る価値はありました。個人的には星空を二回も見れたとことが大変よかったです!!
Dear Taro,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour & Sunrise and Stargazing Tour. We are truly delighted that you were able to join both tours! It’s quite rare for customers to participate in both at the same time!
As you mentioned, the sunrise and sunset tours can be considered completely different experiences. Since the stars are constantly moving, you can enjoy entirely different night skies, and you can also see the sun rising from the sea of clouds and setting, so there is definitely enough value in participating in both!
We are honored that we could provide a page of memories for such an important trip as your honeymoon!
Thank you again for using Masashi's Nature School. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

この度は弊社のマウナケア山頂夕陽と星空ツアー&朝陽と星空ツアーに御参加頂き誠にありがとうございます。
両方のツアーに御参加して頂けたなんて本当に嬉しいです^^ なかなか両方同時にご参加して頂けるお客様はいないです!
Taro様のおっしゃる通り、朝陽と夕陽のツアーは全く別物と考えても過言じゃありません。
星も常に移動しているため全然違う星空を楽しむこともできますし、太陽も雲海から昇ってくる顔と沈んでいく顔を見ることが出来ますので両方参加してみる価値は十分あります!
今回Taro様達は新婚旅行でのお越しで、そんな大事な旅行の思い出の1ページを弊社がご提供することが出来て光栄です!

Dear Kan-chan,
Thank you for sharing your experience. Recently, taking dynamic photos has become quite popular, hasn’t it? Capturing fun pictures at 4,200 meters on Mauna Kea is something you can't easily do anywhere else! (laughs) The air is thin on Mauna Kea, and the stars are truly beautiful, so I believe you were able to spot Scorpio right away. Our guides study hard every day, competing with each other, so they are really knowledgeable about the stars!
I am very happy that we could provide you with a tour that met your expectations.
Thank you very much for using Masashi's Nature School. We look forward to your next visit to the island.

最近、ダイナミックな写真を撮るのが流行っていますよね^^
マウナケア山の4200mで撮る面白写真なんて他の場所では中々できません!(笑)
マウナケアは空気も薄いですし、星も本当に綺麗に見えるのですぐさそり座をすぐ見つけられたと思います^^
星の説明もガイドは毎日お互い競い合いながら勉強しているので本当に物知りです!
今回、かんちゃん様のご満足のいくツアーをご提供することができとても嬉しいです。
