I couldn't get a reservation in the morning, but I was able to book one starting at 2 PM. It took just over an hour to arrive from Honolulu. When I went to the reception, I was instructed to wait around until 3 PM.
Before 3 PM, we watched a video for the explanation. Then we quickly started horseback riding. There were six of us in three groups, and we were the only Japanese. An American woman gave the instructions, and we set off. We crossed hills, passed the filming locations of Jurassic Park and King Kong, and went further to the foot of a higher mountain. The ocean was beautiful.
We rode for a solid two hours, and my legs started to hurt, but it was fun. The horses were well-trained, and the staff were kind; it was okay even if you couldn't speak English. It seems reservations are hard to come by, so I recommend booking early. I would like to go again next year.
午前中の予約がとれず午後14時からとれました。ホノルルから1時間あまりで到着。受付に行くと15時までそこらで待ってなさいとの指示。
15時前に行くとビデオで説明。早速乗馬。6名3グループ日本人は我々だけでしたが、アメリカ人の女性が指示して出発。岡を超え、ジュラシックパークやキングコングの映画ロケ地をこえ、さらに高い山の麓へ。海がきれいだった。
2時間みっちり乗馬し、足が痛くなったけど、楽しかった。馬はよく調教されており、職員も優しく、英語話せなくてもOK。予約が取りにくいようで早めの予約お勧めします。また来年でも行きたい。

Everyone except us was from the West! I had high expectations after reading the reviews, but it wasn't simple English; it was quite advanced. I managed with the Japanese explanations on the consent form and the sign for how to slide. I think it would be difficult if trouble arises and you don't have the English skills to explain yourself.
The zip line offers a sense of freedom and the thrill of speed! You can see the ocean from the first two lines. Most of the area is a farm, so there's a lot of greenery. There are two safety harnesses, and they use very high ones with locks, so I felt safe sliding. The upside-down part was on the last line, and I mostly slid normally!
Westerners tend to be heavier, but I think people under 50 kg need to lift their legs to make it through most of the lines. If you stop midway or bounce back, it uses up the staff's effort.
In addition to the zip line, there are experiences like a suspension bridge and a vertical drop. There was also a part where you have to pull yourself up with just your arms, but that was very tiring; a woman from a foreign couple became grumpy (laughs).
I dropped my phone at the end, but luckily, the staff witnessed where it fell and found it unharmed. Tipping is not particularly required, but since they found my phone, I gave them a tip.
The staff will take care of your belongings! There was a locker for valuables, but I wasn't guided to it. For my belongings, there were no numbers; I just communicated the color, and it was retrieved with that exchange. The security is quite low.
Personally, I think it was below my expectations? I might have had high hopes from reading too many reviews.
自分達以外みんな欧米人でした!クチコミ読んで期待を抱いていましたが、簡単な英語とかではなくバリバリの英語です。承諾書と滑り方の看板の日本語の説明でなんとかと言った感じでした。トラブルが起きたときなど、自分のことを説明できる英語力がないと困ると思います。
ジップラインは開放感と速さのスリルを味わえます!景色も1.2本は先に海が見えたりします。ほとんどは農園なので緑が広がります。安全帯も2本あり、ロック付きのとても高いものを使っていて安心して滑ることができました。逆さまになるのは最後の方の1本で、ほとんど普通に滑りました!
欧米の方は体重がありますが、多分50キロ以下の人はほとんどの本数足を上げて滑らないと最後まで行けません。途中で止まったり、反動で帰ってしまうとスタッフの労力を使ってしまうことになります。
ジップラインだけでなく吊り橋や垂直にゆっくり落ちる体験もあります。自分の腕だけで上に上がるのもありましたが、これは非常に疲れました、外人のカップルの女の人は不機嫌になっていました(笑)
最後に携帯を落としてしまいましたが、スタッフが落ちたところを目撃してくれていて幸運にも無傷で発見してもらえました。チップは特段要求されませんが携帯を見つけてもらったので払いました。
荷物はスタッフが預かってくれます!貴重品ロッカーはあったけど案内されませんでした。荷物は番号とかなくて、何色か伝えて、これ?と言ったやりとりでとってもらう感じです。セキュリティ一は低いです。
個人的には期待より下だったかな?口コミを読みすぎて期待が大きかったのかもしれません。

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!

Star Tour
Beautiful sunset, earth blue, and a starry sky! (It was close to a new moon) It was a very satisfying tour! Since it was a tour where we could move around by car, it was fine not to wear trekking shoes. I didn't imagine it would get that cold, but even with a shirt, hoodie, ultra-light down jacket, fleece-lined tights, a stole, the jacket I borrowed, gloves, and a blanket, I still felt cold. They mentioned it was good that there was no wind, but if you don't need it, you can leave everything in the car, so if you're sensitive to the cold, it's better to bring some extra layers. You can take really beautiful photos with a DSLR or mirrorless camera!
Since it's a natural experience, I can't guarantee the conditions will be perfect, but if you're going to Maui, I think this is a tour you absolutely should participate in. I definitely want to come back again.

綺麗な夕焼け、アースブルー、満点の星空!(新月に近かったため)大満足のツアーでした!
車で全て移動できるツアーなのでトレッキングシューズじゃなくても大丈夫でした。
そこまで寒くなることを想像できずにいましたが、シャツ、パーカー、ウルトラライトダウン、裏起毛のタイツ、ストール、お借りしたジャケットに手袋、毛布でも寒さを感じました。風がなくてまだよかったとの話でしたが、いらなければ車に全て置いておけるので寒いのが苦手な方は持って行った方がいいです。

I went horseback riding for the first time, and I felt no anxiety because the horses were well-trained. I chose the 2-hour course, but I wondered if 1 hour would have been enough. The reason is that my rear end and bent knees started to hurt (I'm 178 cm tall). However, I was able to relax and enjoy nature while riding the horse.

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.

It was on Memorial Day, May 27, 2019 and since my kids were off school, I have decided to take them to Ziplining and I was very happy because Coral Crater Adventure Park were able to accommodate us at a very last minute.
We did the Half Zipline, which has 3 Lines and we all had a wonderful time! The staff are amazing! Matt, Shane, and the other two lovely ladies (I'm so sorry, I'm really bad at remembering names ) but they were all very kind and friendly...and patient too! My son was very talkative and they were all so nice in listening and laughing with him :)
It was truly a unique experience and memorable for us as it was all our first time zip lining! It was so much fun and very safe! My eldest daughter is 14, my middle child is 12, and my son is 7. If you're looking for something to do with your younger kids that's adventurous, fun, and exciting, I would definitely recommend this one!

The reason for meeting on-site was that it overlapped with other options we considered. The navigation system we borrowed kept saying to turn left onto a narrow forest road after entering Waipio! It looked like a path overgrown with grass. Since I had gone another route before, I ignored it and went through the town to the valley. (On the way back, it also instructed a right turn onto a suspicious forest road.) After that, once we got closer to the valley, we followed the signs and turned right to reach Artworks. Please be careful not to be misled by the navigation. The reception starts at 9 AM, so if you arrive early, there won't be any staff around, just the shopkeepers. There is road construction on the way here, causing traffic jams, but in the afternoon, it might take 10 to 15 minutes longer than in the morning (the worst is in the evening). They mentioned the construction would last for two years. It's not too serious, so there's no need to rush.
The horses had various personalities, which was interesting. Sometimes the English was fast, making it hard to catch everything, but we managed. The explanations were natural, especially about the trees, but they weren't very detailed, so I wondered if it would be more enjoyable with a Japanese guide, as my daughter, who is nearly native-level, remarked. Along the way, we crossed a small stream and encountered wild horses, making for a relaxed horseback riding experience. There's no need to worry. Just keep in mind that since you'll be on the horse for a long time, those with weak hips might find it uncomfortable later. Also, the helmet we borrowed could really use some Febreze! (laughs) Since it's a nature-filled activity, it's understandable. (laughs) Bring only the bare essentials. Also, it's better to avoid wearing new sneakers. We enjoyed a recommended lunch on the way back, making good use of our time.
現地集合にした理由は他のオプションで立ち寄ったところとかぶってしまうのでこれにしました。うちでお借りしたナビがワイピオに入ってから狭い林道に左折と言うのです!どう見ても草ぼうぼうで道?と言う感じ。一度別のオプションで行ったことがあるので、無視して町の中を通って渓谷へ行きました。(帰りも怪しい林道へ右折と指示)あとは渓谷近くなってから標識に従い右折していくとアートワークスへ行けました。皆さんはナビに惑わされないように進んでください。受付は9時からですので前についても係りの人がおらず、お店の方だけでした。ここヘ行く途中道路工事で渋滞していますが、午前よりは午後が10から15分かかるときがあります(ひどいのは夕方ですが)。工事は2年と言っていました。あまり大したことがないのであせらないでくだいね。
馬もいろいろな性格があって面白かったです。英語がはやくて聞き取れないこともありましたが、なんとかなりました。説明は自然、とりわけ樹木とかですが大した説明でないので、日本語ガイドさんだったらもっと楽しいのかな。とネイティブ並みの娘が呟いておりました。途中小川を横断したり野生の馬に出会ったり、のんびりした感じの乗馬です。心配はいりません。ただ馬にまたがるので、股関節が弱い方は長い時間なのであとでお辛くなるかな。それから、お借りしたヘルメットがファブリーズしてー!と言いたくなるほど。(泣)自然満喫アクティビティなんだから仕方ないですね。(笑)荷物は本当に最小限に。また運動靴は新しいのは避けたほうがいいですね。帰りにお勧めランチをしながら帰りました。時間を有効に使えて楽しかったです。

I participated in May, and the weather was great, making it a lot of fun. The horses were a bit young and sometimes didn’t listen, but it wasn't a problem; if I pulled the reins a bit harder, they would respond. The puppies walking alongside the horses were adorable, and all the participants enjoyed themselves. Riding was fun too, but getting to the horses involved a steep slope, and we went down a cliff with four horses, which was thrilling.

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!

You can purchase the photos taken for an additional fee, but it was disappointing that they were mostly out of focus. However, that doesn't affect my overall evaluation this time.

The activities and staff (who spoke English) were good. There was also a Japanese person at the reception.
However, overall, the information provided was lacking. I only learned that lunch could be purchased individually from the food truck after asking about it. I wish it had been clearly stated in English. The plan was until 5 PM, but no one was able to eat anything until 2 PM, and in the end, there were no people left who played until the very end.
I think the buggies can probably handle quite rough terrain compared to Kualoa Ranch. However, your hair, hat, and clothes will get quite sandy, so I recommend wearing items you don't mind throwing away.
It was fine to present the actual driver's license instead of a copy.
アクティビティやスタッフ(英語対応)は良かったです。受付には日本人もいらっしゃいました。
ただ全体的に提供される情報が少ないです。ランチは質問して初めて、キッチンカーで各自購入するよう説明を受けることができました。英語でも良いので明示して欲しかったですね。17時までのプランでしたが皆14時まで何も食べられず、結局最後まで遊んでいた人はいなかったです。
バギーはクアロアランチよりもおそらく結構激しい道を走れると思います。代わりに髪の毛、帽子、服はかなり砂まみれになりますので、捨ててもいい物を身に付けて捨てて帰ることをおすすめします。

This was my second visit to Kualoa Ranch. I was worried because the pick-up from the Sheraton was about 30 minutes late, but the horseback riding experience went as scheduled. Riding while looking at the mountain range and the ocean was amazing. The instructor pointed out that my saddle was tilted and needed adjustment, but I couldn't get it right until the end, which may have put a burden on the horse.
Hawaii has both the ocean and mountains. While there are trekking options in the mountains, the horseback riding experience was so good!
However, perhaps because of the bus delay, we had to get on the return bus immediately after the horseback riding, so there was no time for a meal or souvenir shopping. Well, it was nice to get back early.
今回2回目のクアロア牧場。シェラトンでのPick Upが予定より30分位遅れて心配しましたが、乗馬体験は予定通り。山並みを眺めながら、向こうに海を眺めながらの乗馬は最高でした。鞍が傾いているから調整しろよと指導員から指摘されるが、最後までうまくいかず、馬には負担をかけたかな?
ハワイは海と山。その内山はトレッキングもあるだろうけど、乗馬体験はSo Good!
ただ、バスが遅れたせいか乗馬が終わったらすぐさま帰りのバスに乗ることとなり、食事タイムもお土産タイムもなかった。まあ、早く帰れてよかったです。

In the early morning, I was picked up at a nearby hotel. The lobby was quite crowded with people participating in tours to various destinations. The pickup was significantly delayed compared to the scheduled time. The large bus was almost full.
I had never been horseback riding before, so I was nervous as I got on. The horse was smart and cute, but I learned that I shouldn't let it eat grass. However, the horse would nibble here and there, so I had to pull firmly to teach it that it was not allowed, which was quite challenging. Additionally, the instructor would sometimes give commands that made the horse start running to catch up, which was a bit scary. Still, being able to ride in the beautiful sea and nature of Hawaii became a wonderful memory for me. Two hours might be a bit long; my tailbone hurt, and sitting the next day was really tough! (laughs)
On the way there, I had to kill time until it was my turn to participate (I think booking activities early in the morning helps reduce waiting time), but on the way back, I liked that I could return at my preferred time.
早朝に近くのホテルにてピックアップでした。
各方面にツアーに参加される方でロビーはかなり混雑していました。
予定のピックアップ時間よりかなり遅れてピックアップでした。大型バスはほぼ満席でした。
私は以前に乗馬をしたことがなくドキドキしながら乗りました。
馬は利口で可愛いのですが、草を食べさせてはいけないらしくでも馬は所々で食べるので、かなり強い力でダメだと引っ張って教えてあげなければいけないのがとても大変でした。
またインストラクターの方が途中指示を与えると遅れを取り戻すときにたまに走り出すのでそれが少し怖かったです。
それでもハワイの綺麗な海と自然の中で乗馬できたのはとても楽しい思い出になりました。
2時間は少々長いかもしれません、お尻の骨が痛くなり翌日座るのが本当に大変でした。(笑)

My husband and I had an awesome time with our guides Joshua and Lumbo. They took us on a fun, wild-ride ATV adventure and told us some cool history about the Kipu Ranch, including details about Hollywood movies filmed there. One stop along the route included an opportunity to swing from a rope swing from the same tree (same tree, new rope) Harrison Ford used as Indiana Jones in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark!
Another stop included a delicious lunch of sandwiches, fruit, chips, cookies, and water. I was impressed with the tablecloths and individually wrapped moist towels (actual towels) handed out to clean off all the dirt on our hands and face from our ride. It was also really interesting to chat with the guides about their lives on the island and pick their brains about Kipu Ranch trivia. Joshua just had his third child last week, and Lumbo has 6 kids!
Our final stop was at a picturesque waterfall where we were all able to swim to the waterfall!
Tips: Wear closed toed shoes you don’t mind swimming in because you must wear shoes in the water. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes if you want to swim at the waterfall or swing on the rope swing into the water. Bring a towel unless you don’t mind air drying. Also, your clothes will definitely get dirty! Keep a change of clothes in the car unless you don’t mind the dirt in your car. In case you’re wondering, the water is definitely cold.
A nice bonus is that the company gives you complementary bandannas to wear over your nose and mouth to keep the dirt out. The bandanna serves as a cool souvenir afterwards! Also, one of our guides, Joshua, was especially gifted at taking cell phone pictures. If you luck out with him as your guide, let him take your pictures!

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!

I spent my second day on the optional tour "North Shore (Haleiwa) Sightseeing and Horseback Riding." The guide provided helpful background information on the tour bus in preparation for the horseback riding experience.
The horse I rode was very calm and smart, and it did a great job walking along the uneven paths with both uphill and downhill sections. The riding experience lasted longer than I expected, so I was a bit tired, but it became a fun memory.
After that, we moved to Haleiwa Town, where I enjoyed local gourmet food that you can only find here. Since the day I participated was not on a weekend, I missed out on trying "Huli Huli Chicken," which I regret. I'll save that for next time!
オプションツアー「ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光と乗馬体験」で二日目の休暇を過ごしました。乗馬体験に備えてガイドさんが事前に予備知識をツアーバスの中で話してくれたので参考になりました。
騎乗したお馬さんはとてもおとなしくお利口さんで登り道あり、下り道ありと凹凸が結構ある道を頑張って歩いてくれました。騎乗体験が思ったより長時間だったので少し疲れましたが楽しい思い出となりました。
その後、ハレイワタウンに移動してここでしか食べれないグルメを味わいました。参加した日が土日でなかったので「フリフリチキン」が食べれなかったので心残りでした。次回のお楽しみにしておきます。

We gathered at the main loading dock of Lahaina Harbor, but there was no one to greet us. When I showed this voucher at the Lanai Island ferry ticket booth, it turned out that the tickets for this tour were ready there.
After a 45-minute ferry ride, we arrived at Manele Harbor, catching a glimpse of the scenic Pu'u Pehe (Sweetheart Rock) from the sea just before our arrival. We were welcomed by our 4WD tour guide (a second-generation Japanese American whose grandfather was from Fukuoka; he spoke a little Japanese and expressed a desire to visit Japan, but he had never been due to difficulties making money in Las Vegas). Our tour began with four people, including a couple from Texas.
From the ferry, it seemed like there was no sign of habitation on the island, but after climbing the mountain for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Lanai City, where most of the island's population (about 3,000 people) is concentrated. There are no buildings, no supermarkets, and only a couple of restaurants, with one movie theater. However, there are 14 churches. There are also two high-end hotels rated L. It seems that the people who stay here are not tourists but rather individuals looking to enjoy a leisurely time in a different world.
As we circled the town and headed toward the garden of the gods, Keahiakabello, we noticed neatly planted pine trees along the road, and a family of wild deer could be seen a little off the road. This area was once a pineapple farm, but part of it is now operated as a horse ranch. Along the road, there were pieces of black sheet film, likely used in the pineapple farm, scattered and contributing to environmental pollution.
As we continued north, we were jolted along a very bumpy road, characteristic of a 4WD, arriving at Keahiakabello, where red earth and large rocks or oddly shaped stones were scattered everywhere. From here, we could also see Molokai Island nearby. Our half-day tour included one more stop, where we might be lucky enough to see monk seals or honu (turtles) at a spot with a shipwreck, but unfortunately, we didn’t see any.
After leaving that location, we returned to Lanai City, said goodbye to the Texas couple on the full-day tour, and arrived at Manele Harbor just 10 minutes before our departure time, successfully boarding the ferry. The return trip was quite different from the outbound journey, as we faced significant waves during the 45-minute ride. Among the Hawaiian Islands, Lanai is small and quiet, allowing us to experience a little of the slow flow of time. Now, we are considering when to visit Molokai Island next.
ラハイナ港のメインローディングドック集合だったが、そこには、誰も迎えがなく、ラナイ島行フェリーチケット売り場でこのバウチャーを見せてみたら、ぴったしカンカン、ここで、このツアーのチケットが用意されていた。
フェリーに揺られ到着直前には、景勝地であるプウ・ペヘ(スイートハート・ロック)を海側から見ながら45分でマネレ港に到着した。4WDツアー案内人(日系2世で祖父は福岡の出身とのことであるが、日本語は少しか話せず、一度は日本に行きたいが、ラスベガスでお金儲けできず、行ったことはないとのこと)に迎えられ、私たちとテキサスからの夫婦計4人のツアーが始まった。フェリーから見てると、どこに人が住んでいるのかという気配が全くない島であったが、20分ほど山を登っていくと、島のほとんどの人口(約3000人)が集結している??ラナイシティに到着。ここには、ビルはない、スーパーもない、娯楽施設は映画館は一軒、レストランは2,3軒?、ただ、教会は14軒あるとのこと。だが、Lグレードの高級ホテルが2軒ある。ここに宿泊される人たちは、観光ではなく、ゆったりとした時間をすごされる違う世界の人たちだと思われる。この街を周回して、神々の庭園と呼ばれるケアヒアカベロに向かい、北上していく道沿いにはパインツリーが整然と植樹されており、少し道路から離れたところには、野生のシカの家族が多く見られた。ここら一帯は、パイナップル農場だったとのことであるが、一部は馬牧場が運営されていた。道沿いには、パイナップル農場で使用していたらしい黒色のシートフィルムが細切れになり、散乱し環境汚染になっているという話があった。どんどん北上すると、さすがに4WDなのかがわかる超でこぼこ道にゆられて赤土の大地に、大きな岩や奇形の石などが至る所に散在するケアヒアカベロに到着。ここからは、すぐそこにモロカイ島も見ることができた。私たちは、半日ツアーであり、もう一か所、運が良ければ、モンクシールやホヌ(亀)に会えるとのことでシップレック(難破船)の見える場所に行き、ビーチウォークしたが、残念ながら見ることはできなかった。そこを離れ、ラナイシティに戻り1日ツアーのテキサスのご夫婦と別れ、マネレ港に出港時間の10分前に到着し、無事、乗船できた。帰りの船は、行と異なり、かなりの大波を受けながらの45分であった。ハワイ諸島のなかでも、こじんまりとしていて、ゆっくり時間が流れている静かな島をほんの少し体感できた。残すは、あと一つ、モロカイ島。いつ、訪れるか検討中。

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。
Hello, Hello!
Thank you very much for participating in the Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour with Nature School!
The miso soup has received great reviews! Please come back for more.
There are only a few tours that can take you to the summit of Mauna Kea, so we truly want our guests to be able to energetically reach the top and enjoy the sunset!
Our guides always hope that everyone can make it to the summit together.
When you visit the Big Island again, please don't hesitate to reach out!

The pickup was about 15 minutes late.
It’s a car marked with "Keana Farm Zipline," so you can just wait at the meeting point.
The instructors can understand simple Japanese.
However, the explanations for the zipline and during the ride were in English, so I couldn't understand the conversations or jokes.
There was a spot along the way where we could break and eat bananas and macadamia nuts.
Communication with the instructors was manageable, so it was fine.
It was really fun!
You can bring your own camera; I had my iPhone, but I thought a GoPro would have been better.
送迎は15分遅れぐらいで来ました。
ケアナファームジップラインと書かれた車なので集合場所で待っていれば大丈夫です。
インストラクターさんたちは簡単な日本語なら通じます。
ですが、ジップラインの説明や回っている最中は英語なので会話やジョークなどがわからなかったです。
途中でバナナやマカダミアを割って食べれるところがありました。
インストラクターさんたちとのコミュニケーションはなんとかなるので大丈夫です。
とっても楽しかったです!
カメラも持ち込み可で、iPhoneを持ってたのですが、GoProのが良かったなと思いました。

The thrill of being thrown into the air with just your body is incredible! Just a note: if you don't equalize your ears properly, they can hurt. Also, the really cold wind coming into your nose made it quite painful deep inside (+o+). But all of that turned into a great memory.
体一つで空中に投げ出されるスリルはたまりません♪
注意点は耳抜きをきちんとしないと耳が痛くなります笑
それにめっちゃ冷たい風が鼻に入ってくるので鼻の奥がとにかく痛かったです(+o+)
それも含めていい思い出になりました。

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。
Dear Mr. Ohashi,
Thank you very much for participating in the Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing tour with Nature School! We take extra time and care for altitude acclimatization, but at the summit of Mauna Kea, which is 4,205 meters high, it is said that lack of sleep and accumulated fatigue can make one more susceptible to altitude sickness.
We look forward to your return with your wife, healthy and ready to conquer the summit again! As you mentioned, the moon phase and timing are key points for stargazing. Please come back to the island to see your birth constellation!

高度順応には長めにお時間をとり、細心の注意を払っておりますが、マウナケア山頂4,205m!
寝不足や疲労がたまっていると高山病になりやすいと言われています。
ぜひまた奥様と元気に山頂まで!リベンジお待ちしております!
そして、星空観測は仰る通り、月齢や時期がキーポイントになります!
ご自身の誕生星座を見にまたご来島ください!

I participated in this on my honeymoon trip!
It was reassuring that both the participants and the guide were Japanese!
During the car ride, the guide shared information about the buildings and the history of Hawaii, making the journey enjoyable!
The main horseback riding experience was incredibly fun!! (≧∀≦)
We rode for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The horses were smart, very gentle, and they worked hard to climb the hills, which made them quite endearing (*´ω`*).
They provided a thorough briefing before riding, so I felt safe getting on!
I created unforgettable wonderful memories♡
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! (*^^*)
ハネムーン旅行で参加しました!!
参加されてる方も日本人で、ガイドの方も日本人の方なので安心でした!
車での移動中もガイドさんがこの建物は〇〇ですとか、ハワイの歴史とか教えてくれるので楽しみながら移動できました!
メインの乗馬もめちゃめちゃ楽しかったです!!(≧∀≦)
たっぷり1時間15分ほど乗っていました。お馬さんもお利口でとっても穏やかで上り坂も一生懸命登ってくれてなんだか愛くるしかったです(*´ω`*)
乗馬の前にしっかりレクチャーもしてくれるので安心して乗れました!
忘れられない素敵な思い出ができました♡
ハワイ行ったらまた是非参加したいです(*^^*)

The entire tour was in English, but I managed to get by by observing the people around me. I was a bit nervous because it was more expensive than I had imagined, but once it started, it was so much fun!
Regarding the itinerary, we started with the zip line. Since there wasn't much time to change, it's best to participate in swimwear or clothes that can get wet. We moved on to lunch without a break. Then we went trekking and cave exploring. We ended up waist-deep in water, but this wasn't mentioned by Veltra, so we couldn't go further and had to give up. After that, we headed to the waterfall. The water was cold, but the foreigners were swimming vigorously.
There are no places or time to change during this itinerary, so if you want to participate, I think it's best to prepare accordingly from your hotel.
全て英語でのツアーですが、周りの人たちを見ながらやればどうにかなりました。
想像していたよりも高くてビビりぎみでしたが始まってしまえば楽しくて楽しくて!
行程とは違う点
最初にジップラインでした。着替えるところ・時間がないので水着や濡れても良い格好で参加すると良いです。
休む間も無く移動してランチ。
トレッキング&洞窟探検。腰まで水に浸かってしまう、その案内がベルトラさんに記載がなかったので、奥まで行けず断念。
そのまま滝つぼに向かいます。
水は冷たくて、でも、外国のかたはガンガン泳いでました。
この行程ではどこにも着替えの場所や時間がないので、行きたい方はホテルからそれなりの
準備をして行った方がいいと思いますよ。

Thank you for sharing your satisfying experience. It truly is a natural phenomenon; while last night had a wonderful starry sky, tonight we might not see anything at all. That might be one of the great aspects of nature. Thank you again. Please do visit Maui again!
ご満足頂けた、体験談をありがとうございました。
本当に自然の事なのですよね、夕べは素晴らしい星空でも今夜は全く見れないかも
しれませんしね。そこが又大自然の良い所かも知れませんね。
