In mid-September, with no clouds or moon, the sunset near the observatory and the starry sky including the Milky Way from the mountainside were beautifully visible. Since everyone was Japanese, the tour was conducted in Japanese. It was a bit cramped in the car due to the large number of participants. There was rental available for upper and lower cold-weather gear, and it wasn't as cold as I expected.
9月の中旬の参加で、雲も月もなく、天文台近くからの夕陽や山の中腹から天の川を含む星空が綺麗に見えました。全員日本人のため日本語のツアーでした。人数が多かったので車が少し窮屈でした。上下の防寒具のレンタルがあり思ったより寒くなかったです。

An amazing experience watching the sun set into the clouds at the summit of Mauna Kea, breath taking. Followed up with an evening of incredible stargazing, to hard to explain the beauty of it. James was an excellent tour guide diving into Hawaiian history, culture, and his knowledge of the observatories, their work and the constellations that we could see during our star gazing experience made the evening even better.

We were blessed with great weather and saw a wonderful sunset and a starry sky. I was very satisfied. There were a total of 12 participants: 8 foreigners and 4 Japanese. Our guide, James, was a very pleasant young man who worked hard to explain in Japanese and took many photos for us. It was a very enjoyable and pleasant tour. The sandwiches for dinner were also delicious. There was no wind and it wasn't too cold, so the down coat we borrowed was sufficient.
I think everyone should participate at least once when they come to the Big Island. It became a wonderful memory. I'm glad I participated.

I have had a few horseback riding experiences on Oahu, but they were just walking tours. Here, we were able to trot a bit in a safe, spacious area. If you're scared, it's perfectly fine to just walk. You can still enjoy it. Other tours had 3-hour courses, but I think this 1.5-hour option is the best time since my backside would start to hurt.
One downside was that it took a while for the toilet tank to fill up because there was only one pipe available.
オアフ島で数回の乗馬経験ありますが、歩くだけのツアーでした。こちらの乗馬は安全な広い場所では 少し走らせたりできました。怖ければ歩くだけでもOK。楽しめます。他のツアーでは3Hコース等がありましたが、お尻が痛くなってしまうので、こちらの1.5H程度がベストタイムと思います。
ネックなのはパイプが1本しか来ていないとの理由で、トイレタンクに水が溜まるのに時間がかかりました。
You can ride a horse even if you don't understand English, but it's safer to have at least some listening skills for explanations and descriptions of the scenery.

It was drizzling on the day of our visit, but since it's a mountain area, the weather changed frequently between sunny and cloudy. The ride on the buggy wasn't very comfortable, but it became a good memory nonetheless. The scenery is absolutely stunning. We stopped the buggy at various spots where the staff provided explanations, but since it was in English, I didn't understand much. However, I managed to grasp the gist and enjoyed it. They also provided something like a neck warmer on-site, which helped avoid the dust. Goggles are also available for free rental.

It was an English-guided tour, but our guide Shou-chan explained all the important things in Japanese as well, which was very helpful. The sandwiches for dinner could accommodate vegetarians and were reportedly from a famous shop, so they were very delicious.
Unfortunately, the sunset was obstructed by sudden clouds, so we couldn't see it beautifully. However, during the stargazing time, when I was about to give up due to the clouds, the sky cleared up, and in the end, we were able to see a sky full of stars, including the Big Dipper and the Milky Way! It was very interesting to hear detailed explanations about the constellations, and we could see artificial satellites clearly.
The summit of Mauna Kea is a difficult place to reach on your own, and preparing warm clothing is also quite challenging, so joining the tour was definitely the right choice. Thank you for the valuable experience!
英語ガイドのツアーでしたが、ガイドのしょうちゃんが、大事な事はすべて日本語でも説明してくださったので、とても助かりました。
夕食のサンドイッチはベジタリアン対応もできました。有名なお店のものらしくとても美味しかったです。

星空観察の時間も雲が多くて諦めかけていたら、、どんどん晴れてきて最後は満天の星空になり、北斗七星や天の川まで見る事ができました!

We participated in the 8 AM session as a parent-child duo (male, 56 years old, and male, 25 years old).
On the day of the event, we first checked in using an iPad. (You will need the 4-digit booking reference number sent via SMS just before the participation date. If you can't receive SMS at the venue, you can ask at the front desk. Some iPads may not work properly, so if you have trouble, try another iPad.) At the front desk, we paid a fuel surcharge of $15 (credit card accepted). We were given a coin for the locker and stored our belongings in it. Our smartphones can be kept at the front desk before boarding the plane, so there’s no need to store them at this point (they will also keep the locker key for you). There is a free water dispenser at the front desk as well.
While waiting at the area where the harnesses are located (see attached photo), the instructor came to put on our harnesses and gave us a brief lecture on aerial maneuvers. After the dive, the instructor handed us a jump certificate, an eco bag, and an envelope for tips. We wrote the instructor's name (which is on the certificate) on the envelope, put in the tip, and placed it in the transparent tip box. Pens are available next to the tip box. We decided on a $20 tip. After the event, when we handed the driver $20 as a tip for both of us upon arriving at the hotel, he was very pleased. The total cost for us that day was $45 per person.
As for the skydiving experience, I’m really glad we did it. While ascending in the plane, I initially felt fear due to the height, but around 4,000 meters, the ground and water surface were too far away to see details, and I no longer felt scared. When we jumped, we experienced about a minute of free fall, followed by approximately five minutes of floating in the air, all while feeling an absolute sense of security thanks to the instructor, which made it incredibly enjoyable.
A point to note is that as soon as you jump, your ears will start to hurt, so it's best to begin equalizing early, along with taking measures against motion sickness. My son and I have never experienced motion sickness, even on rough seas, so we underestimated it, but during parasailing, I started to feel sick after the second sharp turn. I experienced about four sharp turns and felt quite nauseous upon landing. My son was having so much fun that he egged the instructor on, resulting in quite a few sharp turns, and he was on the verge of throwing up upon landing. Even after arriving at the hotel, he said he still felt a bit sick. For those who are prone to motion sickness, it might be wise to prepare some anti-nausea medication and be ready to communicate to the instructor if you start feeling unwell or want them to stop the sharp turns.
If you're hesitating, I absolutely recommend doing it!
8時開始の部に親子2人(男56歳、男25歳)で参加しました。
当日の流れは、まずiPadでチェックイン。(参加日直前にSMSで送られてくる4桁の予約番号(booking reference)が必要です。現地でSMSが受け取れない場合はフロントで教えてもらいましょう。iPadは調子が悪いものがありますので、うまくいかない場合は別のiPadで試してみましょう。)フロントで燃油サーチャージ15ドルを支払います。(カード可)。ロッカー用のコインを渡され、ロッカーに荷物を預けます。スマホは飛行機に乗る前にフロントで預かってくれますので、この時点では預けなくてOK。(ロッカーの鍵も預かってくれます)。フロントには無料のウォーターサーバーもあります。ハーネスが置いてあるところ(添付写真)で待っていると担当のインストラクターが来てハーネスを着けてくれて、簡単な空中動作のレクチャーを受けます。ダイビング終了後はインストラクターからジャンプの証明書とエコバック、チップ用の封筒を渡されますので、封筒にインストラクターの名前(証明書に記載あり)を書きチップを入れて、透明のチップBOXに入れます。ペンはチップBOXの横に置いてあります。私たちは20ドルにしました。終了後、ホテル到着時にドライバーさんに2名分のチップとして20ドル渡すと、とても喜んでくれました。当日の費用は私たちの場合、1名あたり45ドルかかったことになります。
スカイダイビングの方は、本当にやって良かったです。
飛行機に乗って上昇中は最初のうちは高さに恐怖を感じましたが、4,000メートル付近では地面や水面が遠すぎて詳細が見えず、怖く無くなりました。
飛び出す時、体感約1分間のフリーフォール、約5分程度の空中遊泳中もインストラクターによる絶対的な安心感で楽しいしかありませんでした。
注意点としては、飛び出すとすぐに耳が痛くなり始めるので耳抜きを早めに始めることと乗り物酔い対策です。
私達親子は乗り物酔いには無縁で、しけの日の船でも酔ったことが無いのでなめていましたが、パラセイリング中は急旋回2回目で酔い始めました。私は4回ほど急旋回があり、着陸時には結構気持ち悪かったです。息子は楽しくて、インストラクターを煽った結果、相当数急旋回したらしく、着陸時には吐く寸前だったそうで、ホテル到着後もしばらく気持ち悪いと言っていました。
乗り物酔いしやすい人は、酔い止めの準備と、飛行中にインストラクターへ気持ち悪くなったとか急旋回をやめてほしいことを言葉で伝える準備をしておいた方が良いかもしれません。
迷っている人は絶対やった方がいいです!

On the way to Haleiwa (North Shore), we had a break at the Dole Plantation. It’s a good spot for a restroom break and to check out souvenirs. I took some photos and bought a T-shirt. After that, we were taken to the ranch to start our horseback riding experience. The driver spoke fluent Japanese and provided an overview during the ride. However, all the staff at the ranch were locals, so they didn’t speak Japanese. But they were very friendly, and I managed just fine by watching and mimicking them. My child had ridden horses in Japan before, but this was the first time riding independently rather than on a lead. Since we would be riding for nearly an hour, I was initially anxious, but the horses were very calm, and I quickly got used to it and felt at ease. More than that, my backside was sore! The weather was great, and as we rode along the beach, I felt time slow down and realized I was having a precious experience. This isn’t something you can do in Japan... I would love to do it again if I have the chance, but please be aware that the muscles in my legs, which I don’t usually use, were quite sore right after getting off the horse.
After the horseback riding experience, we were dropped off in the town of Waialua for some free time until the meeting time. We took a lunch break at Island Vintage Coffee and had an acai bowl and a veggie bagel plate. It was very delicious, and my wife really enjoyed the bagel sandwich. After that, we strolled around the town, visiting clothing stores and shops, and when we got thirsty, we ordered shave ice. There was quite a line, but it moved quickly, so we didn’t have to wait too long. On the way back in the car, I was able to sleep soundly, and we got back before 3:00 PM, so it didn’t affect anything afterward. I think it was a really good optional tour.
ハレイワ(ノースショア)までの途中、ドールプランテーションで休憩があります。
トイレ休憩やお土産物を見るのも良いでしょう。私は、写真を撮りTシャツを購入しました。その後、牧場まで連れて行ってもらい、乗馬体験のスタートです。ドライバーさんは日本語ぺらぺらなので、行きの道中におおよその説明をしてくれます。というか牧場のスタッフの方々は全て現地の方なので、日本語は通じませんw でもフレンドリーに接してくださるので見よう見まねで全然大丈夫でした。子供も日本で馬には乗ったことがあったのですが、引き馬でなく自分で動かすのは初めて。しかも1時間近く乗りますので、最初は不安でしたが、馬さん達も非常に大人しく、すぐに慣れて安心して見ていられました。それよりも自分のお尻が痛かったですw 天候も良くて、馬に乗りながらビーチ沿いを歩いていると時の流れをゆっくりに感じて、貴重な体験をしているなぁとしみじみ感じてしまいました。日本ではこうはいかないと・・・ また機会あれば体験したいですが、普段使わない足の筋肉が酷使されているため、馬から降りた直後は心地よい筋肉痛を感じることをご了承ください。
乗馬体験の後はワレイワの街で下ろしてもらい、集合時間までフリータイム。アイランドビンテージコーヒーでお昼休憩を取り、アサイーボウルとベジベーグルのプレートを食べました。非常に美味で、妻がベーグルサンドにハマってました。その後は街をぶらつき、洋服屋、雑貨屋さんを巡り、喉が乾いたところでシェイブアイスを注文。結構な人が並んでいましたが、回転が早いのでそんなに待つことなくありつけました。帰りの車の中ではぐっすり寝ることもでき、15:00前には帰って来れたので、その後に影響することもなく、非常に良いオプショナルツアーではないかなと思いました。
When the weather is nice, the sun can be quite strong while riding, so you might get sunburned as you walk slowly. If you don't want to get tanned, I recommend taking sun protection measures.

I think skydiving will truly be an unforgettable experience. The view from over 4,000 meters and the sensation of speed during the fall were surreal and amazing. The staff at the reception and the instructors were very unique and left a good impression.
However, even at the scheduled start time of 10:00, we were not called for a long time, and ultimately, we jumped at the same time as the last group scheduled for 13:00. We spent that entire time waiting on a bench outside. Honestly, their handling of this situation was the worst. No announcements were made despite the long wait, and when we inquired at the reception, we were repeatedly told about the next flight. While others who arrived on the same shuttle bus moved on to the plane, the next shuttle bus arrived, and those passengers were called immediately. Meanwhile, we continued to wait outside, and in the end, we were even made to wait for the instructors' lunch break.
Waiting outside for over three hours without any information was very painful. While the reception and instructors were good, the overall flow of the activity was very noticeable in its shortcomings.
スカイダイビング自体は本当に最高の思い出になると思います。高度4000m以上の景色や落下中のスピード感は非現実的で素晴らしかったです。受付の方もインストラクターの方も非常にユニークで好印象でした。
しかし、プラン開始時間の10:00になっても中々呼ばれず、最終的に最遅プラン枠の13:00の組と同タイミングで飛びました。その間ずっと外のベンチで待ちぼうけ。ここの対応は正直最悪でした。いくら待っていてもなんのアナウンスも無いので受付に尋ねると次の飛行機で〜次の飛行機で〜の一点張り。一緒の送迎バスで来ていた方々が次々と飛行機へ移動していく中、今度は次の枠であろう送迎バスが到着し、その方々がすぐに呼ばれ飛行機へ。私たちは外でずっと待ち続けているのにもかかわらず挙句の果てにはインストラクター達の昼食の時間までも待たされました。
3時間以上もなんの案内もなしに外で待たされるのはとても苦痛でした。
受付やインストラクターの方などの対応がいい反面、アクティビティ全体の流れの悪さがすごく目立ちました。
Whether you fly quickly or slowly, the people taking the shuttle bus remain the same, so there will definitely be a waiting time of several hours. I recommend bringing a mobile battery, etc.

There are ups and downs, but it's not as scary as it sounds. We departed in groups of about ten, and the guide stopped at points to provide guidance, but I couldn't understand what he was saying in English. I think it would be helpful to have a translation app.
At one of the stops, a local staff member will take photos for you, so be sure to ask.

I drove a buggy in the magnificent nature. The ups and downs are intense. There was no Japanese guide, so I could hardly understand what was being said. I only enjoyed about half of it, but I think those who understand English would have a great time. Besides buggies, there are cycling and horseback riding options.
雄大な自然の中、バギーで運転しました。アップダウンは激しい。日本語ガイドいないので何言ってるかほとんど分からず。半分ほどしか楽しめてないが、英語がわかる方はすごい楽しいと思います。バギー以外に、サイクリング、ホースがあります。
Buggies are nice, but cycling and horseback riding also seemed interesting.
バギーもいいですがサイクリング、ホースも面白そうでした。

The guide was fluent in both English and Japanese, which made everything very easy to understand. We had two large vans, and since everyone in our group was Japanese, the guide communicated with us in Japanese. Their personality was great, and everything was handled with care and professionalism. The lively conversation during the journey was also a highlight, and everything from gathering to dispersing went very smoothly. The weather was nice, and the sunset and starry sky at the summit were incredibly beautiful. From 4,200 meters, the stars were so clear that we could see the Milky Way with the naked eye; it was the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen. The previous day, they couldn't see the sunset, so it depends on the weather, but I believe this tour is worth participating in at least once in a lifetime.
英語と日本語を話せるガイドさんがいた為とてもわかりやすかったです。大型のバン2台だったのですが、私たちの方は全員が日本人だったのでガイドさんが日本語で対応してくれました。人柄もよく全てが丁寧でプロフェッショナルでした。移動中の軽快なトークも魅力で集合から解散まで全てがとてもスムーズでした。天気も良く山頂のサンセットと星空がとても綺麗でした。4200mから見る星空は肉眼で天の川がびっしり見えて、これまで見た星空で1番綺麗でした。前日はサンセットが見れなかったとのことで、天気次第ですが、一生に一度は参加する価値のあるツアーだと思います。
I think it's better to avoid the full moon day since you won't be able to see any stars at all. You can see a perfect starry sky about 2-3 days after the full moon.
満月の日は全く星が見えないとのことで避けた方が良いかと思います。満月から2-3日後から満点の星空が見えます。

We rode four-wheel buggies as a family. My spouse and I took turns driving, and it was truly enjoyable to see the wonderful scenery of Hawaii while off-roading. The kids were also thrilled. The guide spoke English, so it was difficult for me to understand everything with my listening skills, but they cheerfully shared many stories about the history of Kualoa Ranch. They were a wonderful guide.
家族で4輪バギーに乗りました。夫婦で交代で運転でき、オフロードを走りながらハワイの素晴らしい景色を見られて本当に楽しかったです。子供も大喜びでした。ガイドさんは英語だったので、私のリスニング力では全ての理解は難しかったですが、ハキハキ明るくクアロアランチにまつわるハワイの昔話を随所随所でお話してくださりました。とても素敵なガイドさんでした。
It's recommended to participate in clothes that you wouldn't mind getting ruined by mud or sand.
泥や砂汚れで服はメチャクチャになりますので、捨てても良いような服での参加がお勧めです

Not only did we just pilot the aircraft, but we also received explanations about various sightseeing spots around the island, which was very educational! In the latter half of the tour, we experienced the thrill of the aircraft swaying dramatically like a roller coaster (this was based on our request, so I believe they would fly slowly if you asked).
ただ操縦するだけじゃなく、島を回りながら色んな観光名所の説明をして頂けて非常に勉強になりました!ツアーの後半では、ジェットコースターの如く機体を大きく揺らして最高のスリルを味わわせてもらいました(あくまでこちらが希望した内容なので、言えばそのままゆっくり飛ばしてくれると思います。)
It seems that they can't really do something like a Cobra maneuver (laughs).
コブラ機動みたいなのは流石に出来ないそうです(笑)

The instructor who flew with us was very kind! There was a female staff member at the reception who could communicate in Japanese, so it was great to be able to ask questions in Japanese during the check-in process. However, the waiting time was very long. I used the round-trip shuttle bus. There was a 2-hour wait after arrival and about a 4-hour wait after diving. I had planned other activities in the evening but unfortunately had to cancel... The notes in the explanation stating "no meal included" and "snacks are recommended to bring" seemed to be due to the long waiting times. There is only one vending machine at this go jump, and there are no shops. (They did sell cute T-shirts!)
For those who want to make effective use of their time, I recommend driving there with a rental car instead of using the shuttle bus! For reference:
8:30 - Shuttle bus departure (Hilton)
9:30 - Arrival at the site, filling out consent forms
10:00 - Safety belt fitting and briefing
11:30 - Boarding the helicopter for skydiving
12:30 - Skydiving completed
16:30 - Departure from the site
17:30 - Shuttle bus drop-off
(You should plan for about 9 hours in total.)
一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターさんがとても優しい方でした!受付には日本語対応可の女性スタッフがいたので、手続きでの不明点を日本語で質問できたのはとてもよかったです!
ただ待機時間はとても長かったです。。私は往復シャトルバスを利用しました。到着後2時間の待機時間、ダイビング後約4時間の待機時間がありました。夕方から他の用事を予定していましたがあいにくキャンセルしました...。説明の記載にてある「食事代は無い」「スナックなどの持参をお勧め」などは、その待機時間が大幅にあるが故の注意書きだったみたいです。こちらのgo jumpには自動販売機が1台だけあり、売店という売店はありません。(可愛いTシャツは売ってました!)
時間を有効活用したい方は往復はレンタカーで自力で向かうことをおすすめします、、!
参考までに↓
8:30シャトルバス乗車(ヒルトン)
9:30現地到着、同意書など入力
10:00安全ベルト装着、説明
11:30スカイダイビング用ヘリ搭乗
12:30スカイダイビング終了
16:30現地出発
17:30シャトルバス下車
(9時間の予定として見込む必要があります。)
The waiting time for the shuttle bus back is really boring, so I recommend bringing a paperback book or some snacks. We ate ice cream (the only food sold at the shop) and took a nap!
帰りのシャトルバスまでの待機時間はまじで暇なので、文庫本や軽食を持参することをお勧めします。私たちはアイス(売店で唯一売っていた食料)を食べて、昼寝してました!

This time, I couldn't see the sunset (due to the bad weather from Hurricane Kiko), but I was able to see the stars. The summit is worth visiting just to see the observatories. The guides include some who can speak Japanese, making it a good tour (even those who can't speak Japanese are studying the language). However, please be aware that the summit is over 4000 meters high. The oxygen levels are low. Mount Fuji is 3700 meters, you know!
今回夕陽は観れませんでしたが、(ハリケーンKikoで天候不順)星は観る事ができました。
山頂は天文台群を観るだけでも価値はあります。ガイドも日本語が話せる方もいて良いツアーです。(話せないガイドさんも日本語勉強中とか。)
ただ、山頂は4000m超である事に注視して下さい。酸素濃度は低いです。
富士山は3700mですからネ‼️
If you come to the Big Island, you should definitely go. Just be sure to pay attention to your health.

I'm glad I participated in this tour! First of all, our driver and guide, Jonah, was an excellent driver. We spent about 11 hours together, and I felt completely at ease! The time allocated for hiking Diamond Head was generous, and we were taken to a food truck where we could buy Leonard's malasadas without any wait, which was perfect for a snack after the hike!
We toured the beautiful beaches of Oahu, and for lunch, we stopped at the Kahuku Sugar Mill. There were so many stores and food trucks that it was hard to choose. There was even a beer specialty shop, which was enjoyable. We also got to explore Haleiwa, and since there were kids experiencing Hawaii for the first time, I was glad I booked this tour.
Jonah, who is fluent in Japanese, shared various stories during our travels, which helped us learn more about Hawaii. He also kindly took photos for us every time we got out of the vehicle. I'm grateful for that! The small group size made it comfortable as well.

まずドライバーandガイドのジョナさんの運転が本当に上手で約11時間一緒に過ごしましたが、安心感が半端なかったです!
ダイヤモンドヘッドの登山も余裕ある時間配分、レナーズのマラサダもフードトラックで待ち時間なく買える場所に案内してもらえ登山後の小腹満たしも出来ました!
オアフ島のきれいなビーチをめぐり、ランチはカフクシュガーミルで。店舗もフードトラックも沢山あり選ぶのに迷いました。ビール専門店もあり、楽しめました。
ハレイワも探索でき、ハワイが初めての子がいたのでこのツアーを申し込みましたが正解でした。

Our tour at Kipu Ranch in Kauai was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was filled with breathtaking scenery, exciting trails, and the kind of adventure you only dream about when you picture Hawaii. 🌴✨
The guides were incredible—knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe the whole way while still letting us enjoy the thrill of the ride. We explored lush valleys, rugged hillsides, and even movie-worthy backdrops that took our breath away. 🚙💨 Everywhere we turned was like stepping into a postcard.
What really stood out was how much we learned along the way—about Kauai’s history, the culture, and the land itself. It wasn’t just an adrenaline rush; it was a deeper connection to the island.
If you’re visiting Kauai, don’t miss this adventure. Whether you’re here for the views, the excitement, or just want to experience the island in a unique way, Kipu Ranch delivers it all. Highly recommend—it was truly the highlight of our trip! 🌺🌊🌈
Definately wear dark clothing since all that red dirt will be EVERYWHERE!!

The driver was friendly, and although it was mentioned that he couldn't speak Japanese, it seemed his wife was Japanese, so he could speak a little. It was cool in the early morning, and I was able to climb at my own pace. On the way back, he kindly provided bottled water, which tasted very good. When I arrived at the hotel, I made it in time for breakfast, so that was great. I did well at 56 years old!
ドライバーさんも気さくな方で日本語は出来ないと書いてあったけど奥様が日本人だったようで片言ですが良かったです。

I participated in the buggy driving experience at Kualoa Ranch. It was a very spacious ranch, and driving on the slightly tight mountain roads, curves, bumpy paths, and slopes was a lot of fun. The scenery was beautiful, with views of the ocean and mountains. It was also great to take commemorative photos at the filming points of Jurassic Park. The guide was cheerful and friendly, which made the experience even better.

とても広い牧場で、ちょっとタイトな山道やカーブ、でこぼこ道や坂など運転するのに楽しかったです。
景色も海や山が見えてとても綺麗でした。
またジュラシックパークの撮影ポイントで記念撮影ができていい記念になりました。

For women driving, the steering wheel, brake, and accelerator were a bit far from the seat. I also accidentally mixed up the accelerator and brake, which was a bit startling. Let's be careful.

You can use your phone, but if you drop it during the zip line, it's your own responsibility, so it's better to come up with a way to ensure it won't fall even if you let go.
