Hawaii
The sunset and the stars in the night sky were very beautiful!! I was worried about booking an English guide, but I had a Japanese guide who explained things in Japanese and answered my questions, so I felt at ease. I was satisfied because they took wonderful photos.
夕日も夜空の星もとても綺麗でした!!
英語ガイドを予約して不安でしたが、日本人のガイドさんで、日本語でも説明してくれたり、質問に返してくれたので安心でした。
素敵な写真を撮ってくださったので満足です。
For those who get car sick, it's essential to take motion sickness medication as the ride can be quite bumpy.
車酔いをされる方は、車内はかなり揺れるので、酔い止めは必須です。
I enjoyed the sunset sinking into the clouds and the starry sky. It was a wonderful experience, and I’m very glad I had it. It was also great to see the stars through the telescope.
雲に沈む夕陽と、星空を楽しめました。
素晴らしい経験が出来てとてもよかったです。
望遠鏡で星を見れたのもよかったです。
I went on the UTV Raptor Tour. Since the self-drive option was fully booked, I reserved the guided tour where the guide drives. The entire tour was in English, but it was fun because they spoke a little Japanese as well.
UTVラプターツアーに乗りました。
自走は予約がいっぱいで、ガイドが運転してくれるものを予約しました。
ツアーはすべて英語でしたが、少しだけ日本語を話してくれたので楽しかったです。
On sunny days, it's best to be careful of dust. On rainy days, a poncho is essential (it's good to buy one at a 100 yen shop in Japan).
晴れの日は、土埃に気をつけたほうが良いです。
雨の日はポンチョ必須(日本の100均で買っておくと良い)
Our guide was brilliant. We did the ride along and by far it was far more immersive and engaging then had we driven our selves. Our guide was so energetic and only too happy to share cultural insights. Both guides clearly loved their job and it showed through their enthusiasm and passion for what they did. Well worth it!
The sunset viewed from the closest place to space was truly amazing! Our guide, Wes, was very attentive and great at taking photos! You definitely should participate.
宇宙に一番近い場所で見るサンセットは本当に最高でした!ガイドのWESさんは丁寧に教えてくれて写真も上手!絶対参加した方がよい
The view of the sea of clouds and sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was incredibly beautiful and moving. The guide, Shotaro, was kind and made the experience enjoyable! Thank you!
マウナケアの山頂から見た雲海とサンセットがとても綺麗で感動でした。
ガイドのショウタロウさんが親切で楽しく参加することができました!
ありがとうございました!
Phenomenal experience with horses, the ocean and a great group of nice people.

On my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I was able to see the beautiful Milky Way. There were a few clouds, but I was moved by the starry sky that I can't see in Japan. When I think about it, it was truly my first experience seeing the "Milky Way" in my life... Even in my mid-50s, having a first experience is a wonderful thing!
初めてのハワイ島で、美しい天の川を見ることができました。少し雲が出たりしましたが、日本では見ることができない星空に感動しました。よく考えてみると、「天の川」を本当に見たのは人生初の体験でした...。50代半ばになっても、人生初って良いものですね!
Since it is higher than Mount Fuji, please take care of your health. In short, "Be careful of altitude sickness!" We followed the guide's advice, so we felt safe and secure.
富士山よりも標高が高いので、体調には充分お気をつけください。要するに「高山病にご注意!」です。ガイドさんのアドバイスに従ったので、私達は安全安心でした。
I had some concerns about my physical condition when going to a high place, but I realized that it's okay if I go by car.
高所まで行くことに体調面での不安が少しありましたが、車で行くと大丈夫なんだなということが分かりました。
I participated alone, but I can confidently say there is no thrill that surpasses this. The breathtaking view of Hawaii from 4,000 meters above ground was stunning.
一人で参加しましたが、これを超える絶叫はないと確信できました。地上4,000メートルから望むハワイの絶景は圧巻でした。
This was my second time participating. I'm completely hooked. I will definitely join next time. I'm really into it. I feel a strong attachment to the gentle horses!
今回2回目の参加でした。完全にハマってます。次回も必ず参加します。めっちゃハマる。おとなしい馬に愛着感じますよ!
The explanation was all in English, but they spoke gently and slowly. I understood most of it. They used gestures and some broken Japanese, which helped me relax. Overall, it was just fun!
説明は、全て英語ですが、優しくゆっくり話して頂けます。だいたい分かりました。ジェスチャーも交えて、片言の日本語も使ってリラックスさせて頂きました。とにかく楽しいの一言‼️
The two-hour drive was incredibly fun. Everywhere you look, there are beautiful and magnificent landscapes. It felt just like Jurassic Park. Thank you for such a precious time.
2時間のドライブ、凄く楽しかったです。どこをみても、きれいで雄大なけしきばかり。ジュラシックパークそのもの。とても貴重な時間をありがとうございました。
I could only experience one program, but please try various programs.
私は一つしか経験出来なかったですが、いろいろなプログラムを体験してください。
I was taken to many places in Hawaii that are hard to reach without a car, and I was truly satisfied with the enjoyable tour thanks to the driver's thoughtful care and fun stories! It's a wonderful, homey tour! I highly recommend it! ^_^
ハワイの周遊で車がないとなかなか行けないところにたくさん連れて行っていただき、ドライバー兼ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いと楽しいお話で本当に楽しい周遊ツアーで大満足でした!
アットホームな素敵なツアーです!オススメです^_^
They took a lot of photos, so I have many memories captured! Especially great for those visiting Hawaii for the first time!
写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、想い出の写真が増えました!
特に初めてのハワイの方にとても良いのでは?!
Our guide Wes was incredible! We learned so much and enjoyed the sunset and stargazing on Mauna Kea so much! Wes was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
My sisters and I decided to take our elderly mother to Oahu for the first time, and I wanted to show her the major tourist spots, so I made a reservation.
Since we went to Diamond Head early in the morning, it wasn't hot, and our elderly mother was able to reach the summit with ease.
Our tour guide, Jonah, took us to places we had never seen or heard of before, making it a memorable tour for all of us sisters and our mother.
Along the way, Jonah, who is very knowledgeable, explained about the upscale neighborhoods, beaches, buildings, and facilities. He made an effort to keep us entertained by introducing famous stores and taking photos at various spots.
We were also able to fulfill our long-held wish of eating garlic shrimp at Giovanni's, which made us very satisfied!
Thank you so much, Jonah!
姉妹で高齢の母を初めてオアフ島に連れて行く事になり、観光情報に載っているメジャーな場所を見せてあげたいと思い予約しました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドも早い時間だったので、暑くなく高齢の母も軽快に頭頂する事ができました。
初めての見聞きした場所までツアーガイドのジョナさんが連れて行ってくれて、私達姉妹も母も一生の思い出に残る周遊ツアーとなりました。
道中、知識豊富なジョナさんが高級住宅街やビーチ、建物、施設等の説明をしてくれました。
行く先々で有名な店舗の紹介やフォトスポットでの撮影など、常に楽しませてくれようと努力してくれました。
念願のジョバンニでガーリックシュリンプを食べることもでき大満足でした!
ジョナさん♡Thank you so much!
Since it's a small group tour, elderly people and those with small children can participate with peace of mind.
少人数のツアーなので、高齢者でも小さな子供連れでも安心して参加出来ます
The driver was very cheerful and it was fun. Thank you very much.
I heard they can communicate in English, but that was not a problem.
とても明るいドライバーさんで楽しかったです。ありがとうございました
英語対応との事でしたが問題ありません。
I want you to participate with peace of mind.
安心して参加して欲しいです
The horses were well-trained and moved almost automatically. If you're mainly riding, it might feel a bit lacking. Perhaps because it was raining, the similar scenery made the two hours feel long. It might be better if it were sunny? I got excited when passing by a herd of cows; they were so cute!
馬たちはよく調教され、ほぼ自動で動いてくれました。乗馬をメインで行ったら少し物足りないかもしれません。雨だったからか、似たような景色で2時間は長く感じました。晴れだったらいいかも?牛の大群とすれ違う時は可愛くてテンション上がりました!
It was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was so informative and polite it made the trip that much better.
The only recommendation if you want to see the stars schedule your trip when the moon is near the ne
We came to the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate our Honeymoon, and this was 1 of the excursions we had planned. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We had such a fun time, having the movie sites pointed out along the way to base camp. The 3 instructors that took us through the course were amazing, very attentive, asking questions about each of us, congratulating us and thanking us for coming. It did start raining 2 zip lines in, but wasn’t that bad. They kept the entire experience fun and full of entertainment. 100% recommend!
Wear shoes that don’t need socks, cause if it rains on you too you don’t want wet socks.
It's quite a distance and a bit difficult to get to, but I made a reservation with transportation included, so I was able to go with peace of mind. At the site, the explanations were in English, so I didn't understand anything at all, but I managed to get by with the atmosphere. The activity was fantastic, and the weather was great!
中々遠くて行きにくい場所ですが,送迎付きで予約させていただいたので安心して行けました。現地では,英語での説明だったので,全く分かりませんでしたが、雰囲気で乗り切りました。アクティビティは天気も良くとても最高でした
The day before, I was forced to change the time without any explanation. I had already organized my schedule for that day, so it was very troublesome to have it changed without notice. I at least wanted an explanation. The driver was cheerful and a very nice person.
前日の昼過ぎに、何の説明もなく時間変更を余儀なくされた。その日1日のスケジュールを組み立てていたのに、勝手に変更されて大変困った。せめて説明をしてほしかった。
ドライバーの方は陽気な方でとてもいい人でした。
Be careful as the schedule may change without notice.
勝手に時間変更されることがあるので注意が必要です。
I was picked up at my hotel around 2:00 PM and was able to see the sunset and the starry sky. I was worried about the weather since it was raining in Kona in the morning, but the summit was clear with no clouds, and the view was very beautiful. We stopped at several observatories along the way, and I was able to take a lot of photos. I appreciated that our Japanese guide, SHOYO, came along and provided support in Japanese at times. I highly recommend this tour!
お昼の14:00前ごろに宿泊先のホテルでピックアップしていただき、夕日と星空を見ることができました。
朝のコナは雨が降っていたので天候を心配していましたが、山頂は雲ひとつなく晴れていてとてもきれいな景色でした。
途中で何箇所か天文台に寄っていただき、たくさんの写真も撮らせてもらいました。
日本人のガイドのSHOYOさんが来てくださり、ところどこ日本語でフォローしてくださったのもありがたかったです。
とてもオススメなツアーです!
The summit was around 8°C and very cold, so while you can borrow warm clothing, it might be reassuring to have a little of your own as well.
山頂は8℃くらいでとても寒かったので、防寒着は貸してもらえますが、少しご自分のものもあると安心かもしれません。
This is a great tour to see sights that you wouldn't otherwise get to see on your visit to the Big Island. We rode through the forest and on the coastline, getting to see amazing views. The tour guides, Nato and Henry, were amazing and had so much knowledge about Kohala and Hawaiian history. This tour educated us on other areas that we ended up going to visit during our trip.
During this tour you get absolutely filthy. Be sure to bring extra clothes and wipes!
I couldn't believe that there was a zip line in Kapolei, where I usually go shopping, and I was skeptical at first, but it turned out there was one. I discovered this valley! I had a wonderful experience utilizing the height difference. I was in a team with an American family with a 4-year-old, and we had a great time. The highlight was the thoughtfulness of the young instructor. From the simple speaker attached to our bodies, Japanese music played when we were challenging ourselves, and American music played when the American family was up. I was so impressed by such careful consideration. It was a great value and an absolutely fantastic experience.
当初何時も買い物に行くカポレイにジップラインが出来るような地形があるのは信じられず半信半疑でしたが、なんとあったんです。
こんな谷があったんですね!落差を利用した素晴らしい体験をさせて頂きました。
4歳児ご一緒のアメリカ人家族と一緒のチームでしたが、楽しく体験できました。
その最たるものは、若いインストラクターの気遣いにあると感じました。体につけた簡易スピーカーからは、我々が挑戦する時は日本のミュージックが流れ、アメリカ人家族が挑戦する時は、アメリカのミュージックが流れていました。なんと細やかな気遣いに感激しました。コスパも良く大変素晴らしい体験をさせて頂きました。
No special preparations are necessary, but I think sneakers or similar footwear would be good.
特段の準備は必要ありませんが、靴はスニーカー等の履物が良いと思います。
It's a refreshing activity! You drive yourself and glide through vast areas. We had eight vehicles lined up, with one guide watching over every three. I felt safe driving. The guide was great at keeping everyone excited and was always smiling! Although the guidance was in English, I managed to keep up. Additionally, before the ride, they play a video in Japanese to explain everything, so those who are not confident in English will be fine. I highly recommend giving it a try!
爽快アクティビティです!
自分で運転して広大な場所を滑走します。
私たちは、8台が連なって、3台につき、1台がガイドが見守ってくれていました。
安心して運転ができました。ガイドはとてもみんなを盛り上げるのがうまく終始笑顔!英語でのガイドですが、なんとか対応できました。
また、ライド前は日本語の映像が流れて説明してくれますので英会が苦手な方も大丈夫です。
是非参加してみてみてはいかがでしょうか。
During the ride, dust will be kicked up. I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
ライド中、砂埃が舞います。服装は汚れていいものをおすすめします。
The weather was nice and the scenery was amazing.
I was able to have a valuable experience that I can't have in Japan.
This was my third time piloting, and I want to do it again.
I'm not good at English, but the instructor is kind, so I'll manage.
天気が良く景色が最高でした。
日本ではできない貴重な体験をする事ができました。
3回目の体験操縦ですが、またやりたいです。
英語は苦手ですが先生は優しいので、なんとかなります。
I traveled to Hawaii using a cruise and participated in this tour. Since I was picked up from a hotel near the port, I didn't have to worry about finding the meeting place. Fortunately, there were many Japanese participants, so I was able to receive guidance in Japanese. We took about 45 minutes to acclimatize to the altitude, allowing us to enjoy our time at the summit without stress. I'm grateful to the two guides.
クルーズ旅行を利用してハワイに行きこちらのツアーに参加しました。
港近くのホテルからピックアップして頂けたので集合場所を迷うこともなくまたラッキーなことに日本人の参加者が多かった為日本語でガイド対応してもらえました。
高地順応に45分くらい時間を取りストレスなく山頂で過ごすことができました。
ガイドのお二人に感謝です。
If you bring warm cotton pants and a coat as winter clothing, or a light down jacket or fleece, you should be fine. I think it's a good idea to bring a knit hat as it can be windy at the summit.
防寒着として温かい綿入りのズボンとコートを貸してくれるのライトダウンかフリースを持っていけば大丈夫です。
山頂で風が強い時もあるのでニット帽を持参した方が良いと思います。
Beginners to probably veterans can enjoy this (it's coastal fishing). The view from the waters off Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was amazing. If you're into boat fishing, you're unlikely to go home empty-handed. The cute captain and the adorable porter were also fantastic!
釣り初心者からおそらくベテランまで楽しめます(近海釣りです)
ワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドヘッドの冲からの眺めは最高でした。船釣りされてる方ならボウズは無さそうです。可愛いキャプテンと、可愛いポーターさんも最高でした♪
It was fine to go hands-free. It was a bait fishing setup with a copper attachment, but there were also people with their own tackle.
基本手ぶらで大丈夫でした。銅付き仕掛けのエサ釣りですが、マイタックルの人もいました。
I experienced that Maui is not just about the ocean. The tropical rainforest is something you can't easily see in Japan, so it was great. Jumping into the waterfall was something I was too scared to do, but I think young people should give it a try at least once.
マウイは海だけではないことを、体験しました
熱帯雨林は日本ではなかなか見れないので良かった
滝へのジャンプ、私は怖くてできなかったが、若い人なら一度はチャレンジされたらどうでしょうか。
I think you should go to Maui to learn about it more widely.
マウイを広く知るために行くべきと思います
I had the best stargazing experience of my life. It was a showtime that far exceeded my expectations. I felt the perfect preparation, consideration, and excellent explanations from our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, as well as his deep knowledge of the stars, which made for a wonderful time.
人生最高の星空観賞を経験できました。
想定をはるかに超えるショータイムでした。
ガイドの山内さんの完璧な「準備・気配り・説明の妙・そして星に対する
深い造詣を感じることができ、素晴らしい時間を過ごしました
It's a stargazing experience that you absolutely can't see in Japan. It's the best event in Maui.
日本では絶対見れない星空観賞です。
マウイで最高のイベントです
