マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル

I had a different experience compared to the Japanese tour. 日本語ツアーとは違った体験ができました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The Japanese tour was fully booked, so my family participated in this one. The tour guide spoke English at a relentless speed, so I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I was very satisfied to see the sunset above the sea of clouds and an unexpectedly beautiful starry sky.

Many of the other participants were middle-aged individuals from the mainland United States, and everyone was very sociable, which made for an interesting experience in that sense.

There were meal options at a mountain lodge along the way, but I think everyone ended up eating chicken. At the top of the mountain, someone felt a bit unwell, but there were oxygen tanks available, so they recovered partway through. Since the travel was only by car, there was no physical activity at all.

During the stargazing, the explanations were thorough, but the cold really hit me. It's best to prepare as much warm clothing as possible. It might have been even better if I had studied the stars in advance. It was my first time seeing so many clear stars.

　日本語ツアーが満席だったので家族でこちらに参加しました。
　ツアーガイドさんは容赦ないスピードの英語でしたので詳しい説明は理解できませんでしたが、雲海の上の夕日と期待以上の満天の星空をみることができたのでとても満足しました。
　他の参加者はアメリカ本土の中年の方が多く、みなさんとても社交的でいろいろ話ができて、そういった意味でもおもしろい体験ができました。
　途中の山小屋のようなところでの食事は事前に選択肢がありましたが、結果的にみなチキンを食べていたと思います。
　山の上では、少し具合が悪くなった方がいましたが、酸素ボンベが準備してあったので途中から復活していました。車での移動だけなので運動量はまったくなかったです。
　天体観測のときは、じっくり説明をしてもらえるので理解できないこともあり寒さが身にしみました。できる限りの防寒具を用意していったほうがよいです。
　事前に星の勉強をしていけばもっとよかったかもしれません。あんなにたくさんのはっきりとした星を見たのは初めてです。

We had Nate as our tour guide, he did a wonderful job. We learned
about about the Hawaii, Observatories, and stars. He enjoys his job and it shows. Would recommend this tour to those in good health with no lung issues. It was amazing to be at 13,700+ feet.
Star gazing was fun with all the information presented.

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル

The English tour is also enjoyable! 英語ツアーもまた楽し！

Reviewed by: Tatsuru

I believe that most of the Japanese participants in this tour were those who couldn't book a Japanese-language tour. I would like to share the details of the tour.

The tour began with participants being picked up in a large Land Cruiser, and the guide provided explanations through a microphone while driving. There were about 16 participants in total, and the vehicle was full. There was one young couple, but the rest were middle-aged couples from English-speaking countries. Among them, my spouse and I were the only Japanese. At the start of the tour, the guide introduced each participant, and we responded when our first names were called.

After about an hour, we stopped at a former ranch site for a break. There were portable toilets available. The main dishes, snacks, and drinks that we had selected during registration were distributed, and we enjoyed an early dinner around a table inside a tent. After that, we were handed bottled water and warm clothing (just jackets). We drove along a steep, bumpy road, enjoying views of the sea of clouds as we headed for the summit. We arrived at the top about an hour before sunset; it was drizzling below, but here it was beautifully clear. We visited the observatory from the outside, took photos, and watched the setting sun.

After it got dark, we moved to the mountainside, warmed up with the snacks and cocoa we were given, and finally began stargazing using lasers and telescopes. It was an hour of enjoying the starry sky and the Milky Way. Finally, we stopped at the Onizuka Visitor Center to use the restroom and buy souvenirs before heading home.

I had heard in advance that it would be quite cold, so I brought a lot of clothes, but it wasn't cold at all on the day of the tour. I think if you're going on a sunset tour from April to October, you don't need to worry too much about the cold. Also, no one in our tour group had any issues with altitude sickness. A flashlight was very helpful; each person should have one as a necessity.

The guide's English was fast-paced, almost like a DJ, making it difficult for us to catch everything. I believe there was an explanation of the overall schedule at the beginning of the tour, but I couldn't understand it. I managed to pick up on keywords and follow along with the group. For those taking an English tour, I think it would be helpful to study the English names of constellations and stars in advance to assist with comprehension.

こういうツアーに参加される日本人の方々は、ほとんどが日本語ツアーをとれなかったので、という方々だと思います。ツアーの様子をお伝え出来ればと思います。
ツアーの流れは大型のランドクルーザーで参加者をピックアップし、その後ガイド氏が、運転をしながら道中色々とマイクで説明をして進んで行きます。参加者は全部で１６人位だったかと思います。満席でした。
一組だけ若いカップルがいましたが、後はみな英語圏の中年のカップルでした。その中で、日本人は我々夫婦だけでした。ツアーの始まりにガイドさんから一人一人参加者の紹介がありました。ファーストネームを呼ばれたら返事をします。

1時間ほどして、途中牧場跡地で車を降りて、休憩を取ります。仮設トイレもあります。申込時に選んでおいたメインディッシュ、お菓子、飲み物等が配られ、テントの中のテーブルを囲んでの早めの夕食です。その後、ボトルに入った水と防寒服（上着のみ）が手渡されます。急こう配のでこぼこ道を走り、途中雲海を眺めたりしながら山頂を目指します。サンセットの1時間ぐらい前に山頂に到着、下界は小雨でしたが、ここは綺麗に晴れていました。外観からの天文台見学をしたり、写真を撮ったりしながら、沈みゆく夕日を眺めました。

暗くなってから山の中腹に移動し、配られたお菓子とココアで暖まった後、いよいよレーザーと天体望遠鏡を使っての星空観測です。満天の星と天の川を堪能した1時間でした。最後に鬼塚ビジターセンターでトイレを済ませ、お土産を買って帰路につきました。
事前の情報ではかなり寒いように聞いたので、服をいっぱい持っていきましたが、当日は全然寒くありませんでした。４月～１０月頃のサンセットツアーなら寒さには神経質にならなくても良いのではと思います。また、いわゆる高山病についても私たちのツアーでは全員問題ありませんでした。役に立ったのは懐中電灯です。1人1個は必需品です。
ガイドさんの英語は、ちょうどＤＪのようなノリで早口でした。我々の力では聞き取るのは難しかったです。ツアーの始めに全体のスケジュール説明もあったとは思いますが、わかりませんでした。
空気を感じ取って、かろうじてキーワードを聞き取り、何とか団体行動について行きました。英語ツアーの場合は、事前に星座や星について英語名を憶え勉強しておくと、聞き取りの手助けになろうかと思いま

The food was not very good this time. I didn't get the choice I requested on their website (beef) and instead got cold/dry chicken. I went with Forest and Trails since I used them for this tour the last time I was on the Big Island. The last time we stopped near the Ranger station and were allowed to go in and look at the exhibits, this time we parked in a remote corner and were too far away. The views were amazing and well worth the little issues that came up.

It's a breathtaking view, but... 絶景だけど

Reviewed by: mipo

I hoped to be a Japanese pilot, but I ended up participating in an English tour without any mention of that. The scenery was wonderful, and I was moved, but since I was seated next to the pilot (the computer assigns seats based on weight), I kept seeing the pilot yawn, which made me nervous. When I asked, "Are you sleepy?" he replied, "No!" so I took his word for it. The first hour was over Kilauea, and the second hour was over Waipi'o Valley. There was a stop at Hilo Airport for a break. Anyway, I'm glad we arrived safely.

日本語パイロットを希望したのですが、全くそれに触れられることもなく、英語のツアー参加になりました。
素晴らしい景色で、感動しましたが、パイロットの方の横の席になったせいで（体重でコンピューターが、席を決めます）、パイロットのあくびが何度も目に入り、緊張しました。
「Are you sleepy～」と聞いたら、「No!」と言われたので、それを信じて乗っていました。

We've been to Hawaii several times, but this is the first time we canoe surfed. This was such a fun activity, and since we purchased it on sale, the value was great! The men who guided us were so nice! They were so friendly and knowledgeable. Not only was it fun, but extremely interesting. They told us a lot of history about outrigger canoeing. The tour was supposed to be a half an hour, but lasted about an hour. Just a heads up you will paddle so there is a bit of exercise (nothing outlandish). Also, if you get sea sick you may want to take Dramamine, since you have to wait for waves just floating there. I would love to do this again!!

It was amazing! I was also grateful that the pilot happened to be Japanese. While flying in the sky, he provided a thorough guide. I ended up sharing the ride with a Canadian family, and we enjoyed the English guide while sharing our excitement together.
One issue I encountered was when I arrived at the hotel and needed to make a call, but the person on the other end only spoke English. Since I hardly understand English, I ended up asking for help from the Japanese desk at the hotel, which resolved the situation.
The price is high, but it is well worth the experience. I recommend this tour for both couples and families.

最高でした！たまたま操縦士の方が日本人だったことも，ありがたかったです。上空を飛んでいるときには丁寧なガイドをしてくださいました。カナダ人の家族と同乗することになりましたが，英語のガイドも楽しみつつ，みんなで感動を分かち合いました。
困った点としては，現地でホテルに着いたときに連絡をするのですが，その電話先の方が英語しかわからなかったことです。私も英語はほとんどわからないので，結局ホテルにある日本語デスクの方に協力をお願いして事なきを得ました。
値段は高いですが，この感動には十分見合った金額です。カップルでもファミリーでもおすすめのツアーです。

Expensive-drive if you can

Reviewed by: MEFDenver

My husband and I have driven in the mountains for 40 plus years but booked this because we were led to believe it was difficult to get a permit to go up to Mauna Kea Summit in a private vehicle. If you are used to altitude and drive in the mountains, don't pay for this. The meal was only so-so though I realize if you are not used to living at altitude you don't want a heavy meal when you do the ascent as you do not have the extra red blood cells most of us who live at 6,000+ feet carry. The guide was okay but on the highway he drove way too slow. It really was not worth the price to us. It would be great if it was the only way you would be at the summit as seeing the sunset there was awesome. Our driver led us to believe that rental car companies would not allow you to drive a rental car up it. But, when we returned our car to the airport to leave we found out that was not the case (at least with our company). There is part of the road that is unpaved but it was graded and r

Unfortunately, 残念ながら

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in early December 2011. Unfortunately, I had joined a tour to see the lava in 2009, but due to the wind direction of the gas, I couldn't see the ocean entry. I thought about getting a revenge tour, but I was informed that there wasn't much volcanic activity and the ocean entry couldn't be seen, so I decided to join the helicopter tour to see it from above. This time, there was a bit of light rain, and I could only see the moving lava with the naked eye to a limited extent. I was able to see trees being consumed by the lava and flames rising, as well as lava flowing down the cliffs like a thin waterfall. I plan to get revenge during a time of more active activity. However, it was enjoyable to see the town of Kalapana, which had been swallowed by lava in the past, with houses starting to be built again, and the beautifully planted macadamia nut farms. It seems that the seating is determined by weight at check-in, and luckily, I was seated next to the pilot. On the way back to the airport, everyone enjoyed chatting, but I regretted not studying English conversation more. There were participants from various countries.

Reviewed by: 小春ばぁちゃん

On the second day in Hawaii, I had a reservation, but it was canceled due to bad weather in Hilo (tears). It was disappointing since Waikoloa had nice weather. Due to my schedule, the only available day was the checkout day, so I rescheduled it as that was my last chance. On the final day, while waiting nervously, I was told it was okay to go today.

For those with flexible schedules, I recommend making reservations as early as possible, and if the tour is canceled due to weather, it's good to have a backup date.

Now, the actual flight was amazing. Unfortunately, the volcano was in a state of calm, so I couldn't see the dynamic lava flows or ocean entry, but I could see lava from a hole in the ground! I also saw black streaks that made me think lava was flowing underground, which was both exciting and a bit scary. It was great to see the charm of Hawaii Island's green lava landscape from the sky. However, since it was an English tour, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but even without them, seeing the scenery in front of me was more than enough to enjoy.

I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old, and the kids were satisfied too!

Overwhelmed by the volcano and nature. 火山と自然に圧倒

Reviewed by: 小春

We participated as a family of four, including our children (ages 4 and 2). The price is honestly high, but it was a valuable tour.

As of November 2011, the volcano was in a state of calm, so we couldn't see the flowing lava, but we were able to see red magma and smoke from the cracks in the earth. It was great to see the different landscapes of the island from the air, including near waterfalls, the ocean, and land with varying climates.

By the way, our original reservation date was canceled due to bad weather after checking in on-site. Since we had some flexibility in our schedule, we were able to change it to a later date and participate without any issues. If you make a reservation, I recommend booking for the first half of your arrival in Hawaii and setting aside an extra day as a backup.

I had hoped for a Japanese-speaking pilot for our weekday reservation, but unfortunately, the guidance was in English. Honestly, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but I enjoyed the scenery. If there had been a Japanese guide, I might have enjoyed it even more. That's the only disappointment.
