Although it was unfortunately a cloudy day, I was able to ride horses around Kualoa Ranch. Riding for about an hour made my backside sore, but it was a wonderful experience. It took over an hour to get from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch by shuttle bus, but since it was a large tour bus, I was able to sleep soundly without any bumps. The guide who accompanied us on the horseback riding took a photo of me on the horse, but when I looked back later, for some reason, none of the photos were taken, and it's a shame that I don't have any pictures from the ride.
あいにくの曇り空でしたが、馬に乗ってクアロアランチを巡ることができました。1時間ほど馬に乗るので、お尻が痛くなりましたが、とてもいい体験をすることができました。ワイキキからクアロアランチまで送迎バスで1時間以上かかりましたが、大型観光バスだったので、揺れもせず爆睡することができました。乗馬の引率のお姉さんに、馬に乗った自分の写真をカメラで撮っていただいたのですが、あとから見返すとなぜか1枚も撮れておらず、乗馬の写真が残っていないのが残念です。

It was wonderful to be able to slowly see both the sea and the mountains while riding a horse. While it seemed nice to go by car, being able to fully immerse myself in nature while horseback riding was the best.

I wanted to go to the summit of Mauna Kea, where various observatories are located, so I made a reservation here. It was cloudy when we left the hotel, but it was clear near the summit. We could see the observatories and the sunset beautifully, and we took commemorative photos at several spots. After the sunset, we descended a bit and enjoyed the starry sky.

It was the best experience.
The tour was conducted entirely in English, but our guide James also mixed in some Japanese for casual conversation and explanations.
The tour started with a pickup at the Target parking lot at 1 PM, and from there, we headed to the Mauna Kea Onizuka Visitor Center in about 2 to 3 hours. After a restroom break, we finally made our way to the summit. Along the way, we stopped at the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) for some photo opportunities. We arrived at the summit before 6 PM, took some time to explore, and waited for the sunset around 6:30 PM. The view above the sea of clouds was truly magnificent during this time.
At 6:30 PM, the sunset was unobstructed and absolutely beautiful. The cirrus clouds were artistic, and I was glad to have participated.
We boarded the van before 7 PM to descend and stopped for about an hour to stargaze. We were able to see the Milky Way and the Summer Triangle. The explanation about the stars was helpful, and it was easy to see since there were no lights on the mountain.
After that, we descended in the van, took a restroom break at the Onizuka Visitor Center, returned to Kona, and disbanded at our respective drop-off locations around 10 PM.
As a solo traveler, I honestly debated between the Kilauea Volcano + stargazing tour due to financial and time considerations. However, I thought that the opportunity to see the sunset from the summit is something rare even in Japan, so I chose this tour, and it was definitely the right decision. (By the way, I visited Kilauea Volcano by car the next day.)
As a side note, the BLT sandwich was surprisingly delicious. I would love to have it again.
This tour became a valuable experience. Thank you, James.
最高の体験でした。
ツアー自体は英語オンリーでしたが、ガイドのJamesが、日本語も織り交ぜて雑談や説明をしてくれました。
ツアーとしては、13時にTarget(スーパーマーケット)の駐車場でピックアップがあり、そこから2,3時間ほどで、まずはマウナケア山のオニヅカ・ビジター・センターへ。お手洗休憩などを済ませ、いよいよ山頂へ。途中で、The Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA)などに立ち寄り、各自での写真撮影タイムもありました。山頂には18時前に到着し、しばらく散策し、18時半ごろの日の入りを待ちました。この間も雲海上の景色は本当に素晴らしかったです。
いよいよ18時半、日の入りは遮るものが何もなく、本当に綺麗でした。鱗雲も芸術的で、参加して良かったと思いました。
19時前にバンに乗り込み下山し、途中で1時間ほど星空観測をしました。天の川や夏の大三角も見れました。星空の解説もあり助かりました。山の途中で明かりがなかったのでよく見えました。
その後、バンで下山し、途中でオニヅカオニヅカ・ビジター・センターでお手洗休憩を済ませ、コナに戻り、22時頃に各自の解散場所にて解散という形です。
一人旅であり、正直、金銭面、時間面で、キラウエア火山+星空のツアーと迷いました。ただ、山頂で夕陽を見る機会なんて日本でも滅多に無いことだと思い、こちらを選びましたが、やはり正解でした。(なお、キラウエア火山には翌日車で行きました。)
余談ですが、BLTサンドイッチはビックリするほど美味しかったです。また食べたいと思いましました。
このツアーは貴重な経験になりました。James、ありがとうございました。
I think you can enjoy it even if you're not good at English. It can be quite cold near the summit even in summer (it was 7°C in September), so while there are rentals available, it's better to bring y

You can enjoy a horse riding experience for about 70 minutes against the backdrop of the deep blue sea and the pure white sandy beach. Although it's horse riding, you will be walking slowly along a beautiful coastline, making it a very soothing experience. It's charming when the horse occasionally stops to take a break. Since it's on a large private property, there are hardly any people around, creating a completely extraordinary experience. The horses are well-trained, so you hardly need to use the reins. They automatically follow the horse in front, almost like self-driving. Looking back, this was the most wonderful experience of my trip to Hawaii.

We departed from Kailua-Kona, and after a while, we encountered heavy rain. The weather wasn't great even when we entered Saddle Road. I wondered if everything would be okay, but when we arrived at the visitor center, it was cloudy and we couldn't see the summit. Trusting the words of our guide, Shoyo, who said, "The weather at the top is different," we headed towards the summit. At a certain point (around 3000m?), the clouds cleared, and it was a beautiful sunny day. He carefully explained the Palomar Observatory group as we toured around. And then came the much-anticipated sunset. It was a bit cold and windy, but we were able to see the most amazing sunset. After the sun went down, we enjoyed stargazing a little further down. We could see the Milky Way perfectly. It was great to see Saturn through the telescope. The explanation of the constellations was in Japanese, so I understood it well. It was truly a fun experience, thank you very much.
カイルアコナから出発して、しばらく行くと、大雨。サドルロードに入ってもあまり良い天気ではありませんでした。大丈夫かなと、思いながら着いたビジターセンターは曇りで、山頂は見えませんでした。「頂上の天気は違います」と言う、ガイドの翔洋さんの言葉を信じて、頂上へ向かいました。ある所(3000m位かな?)から、雲が切れて、快晴でした。パロマ天文台群を丁寧に説明して回ってくれました。そして、お待ちかねのサンセットです。風が強くて少し寒かったですが、最高の夕陽が見れました。日が暮れた後は、少し降りた所で、星空鑑賞でした。天の川もバッチリ見えました。土星🪐を天体望遠鏡で見れたのは良かったです。星座の説明は、日本語だったので、良くわかりました。本当に、楽しい体験、ありがとうございました。
The summit of Mauna Kea is cold. We participated in September, but I think the wind was strong and the perceived temperature was quite low. It's better to rent warm clothing. It's also safer to dress

This time, I participated in the long-awaited Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour on the Big Island. There was a paid shuttle service to the hotel where I was staying, and we started from there. We headed from the Kona area to Waikoloa, picking up other guests along the way, aiming for the summit in a 12-passenger bus. Our guide was James. The main instructions were in English, but he made a great effort to include Japanese for us, and his explanations were very easy to understand as he spoke slowly.
We took a break at the Onizuka Center to acclimatize to the high altitude. At that time, there was fog, and it was uncertain whether we could reach the summit, but thanks to the ranger checking the situation and clearing the way, we were able to proceed safely to the top. Although I didn't feel unwell, I realized the importance of staying hydrated and having light snacks as a precaution against altitude sickness.
The sunset at the summit was one of the most beautiful sights of my life. The view of the sun setting on the horizon and the changing colors of the sky was indescribably moving. James was very kind with photography, using a professional camera to take wonderful pictures. Additionally, there was a Japanese guide on another bus, which was reassuring as we could hear detailed explanations in Japanese.
During the tour, we were served BLT sandwiches and water, which filled us up. There were also jackets and pants available for rent to keep warm, making it comfortable. As night fell, the long-awaited stargazing began. The guide carefully explained the constellations and the universe, and I was able to see the most beautiful Milky Way and a sky full of stars in my life. There were opportunities for photography under the starry sky and hot cocoa service, making it a truly comprehensive experience.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island. It was worth more than the price, and it became an unforgettable experience.

途中、オニヅカセンターで休憩し、高地に体を慣らしました。このとき霧が発生しており、山頂まで行けるかどうかはギリギリの状況でしたが、レンジャーが状況を確認し道を開けてくれたため、無事に頂上まで進むことができました。体調不良は特になかったものの、高山病対策として水分補給や軽食を心がけることが大切だと感じました。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and I felt安心 because there were explanations in Japanese. Riding through the magnificent scenery known as a filming location for movies was truly special, and it became an unforgettable memory where I could fully experience the great nature of Hawaii.
初めての乗馬体験でしたが、日本語説明もあり安心して楽しめました。映画のロケ地として知られる壮大な景色を馬に乗って巡る時間は本当に特別で、ハワイの大自然を全身で感じられる忘れられない思い出になりました。

Took my family on a fishing trip for my son’s 8th birthday! Our Guides, Mark and George were great! They were great with our kids and we caught all kinds of fish!
Great for families

I experienced seven zip lines, including the longest one in Oahu. Those who joined for their first time were initially nervous, but as they got used to it, they enjoyed sliding backward and headfirst in the second half. The instructors were friendly and helped create a fun atmosphere, making it a very enjoyable experience.
オアフ最長を含む7本のジップラインを体験しました。
一緒に参加したジップラインが初めての人は、最初は恐る恐る滑走していましたが、途中から慣れてくると、後半は後ろ向きや頭を下にしての滑走などを楽しんでいました。
インストラクターの方々も気さくに盛り上げてくれるので、とても楽しめました。

I was worried about how it would be to exceed 4000 meters for the first time. After a short break at the Onizuka Center and lunch, we had an exciting trial. We took photos in various poses as a group with the sunset in the background near the observatory. I felt truly alive on this planet.
A little further down, we saw the starry sky. Luckily, the Milky Way was clearly visible, and we were able to see Saturn through a telescope. Of course, we took photos as well.
The explanations were very helpful, mixed with some Japanese. You can also borrow warm clothing and gloves. The sandwiches for lunch were very delicious.
This is a lifelong memory. Thank you!
初の4000m超えでどうなるか心配でした。 オニヅカセンターでの小休止、ランチ後、ドキドキのトライアル。天文台近くでサンセットをバックにグループごとに色々なポーズで写真撮影してもらいました。地球に生きている事を実感しました。
少し下った所で、星空を見ました。ラッキーな事に天の川が鮮明に見え、天体望遠鏡で土星も見せてもらいました。もちろん写真撮影もありました。
日本語も随所にまじえながら説明してくださり、助かりました。防寒着上下、手袋も借りる事ができます。ランチのサンドイッチ、とても美味しかったです
一生の思い出です。ありがとう
You absolutely must go.
絶対に行くべきです

It's better to bring a camera tripod for photographing the starry sky. I was able to take pictures using the iPhone's night mode.
