This was my second time participating (I joined at the request of my companion).
Last time it was cold, so I was fully prepared with tights, pants, and Heattech! It felt like summer in Hawaii, haha.
This time, it wasn't cold at all. I didn't need the tights...
There are differences depending on the time of year, and it seems that summer is definitely warmer (last time was in May and it was cold...).
No matter how many times I go, the bento and miso soup are consistently delicious!
And the views are amazing! The sunset and starry sky were beautiful no matter how many times I saw them.
2回目の参加でした(同行者の希望で参加)
前回が寒かったので、完全防備の
タイツにズボン、ヒートテック!で常夏のハワイ笑
今回は、全く寒くなかったです
タイツは要らなかったなぁ…
参加する時期によって差があり、
夏の時期のほうがやっぱり温かいそうです

何度いってもお弁当とお味噌汁は

The zip line experience was amazing. I had a great time. Although there was no Japanese support, I managed to get by. I was a bit worried since all the explanations were in English and I could only understand about one-third of it, but the staff kindly provided some words in Japanese and used gestures to help me navigate the course.
First, we put on the harness and helmet (they teach you properly) and practiced by sliding down a practice zip line. After that, we took a buggy to the course, which started at a pretty high point. The view was absolutely stunning, which was already impressive. The course gradually increased in difficulty from beginner to more challenging (the distance and steepness became greater, but as I got used to it, it became even more enjoyable), and finally, we reached what is said to be the longest zip line at 830 meters. I heard it was the longest in America (though my understanding of English is less than one-third).
I was able to enjoy the ride with a bit of ease, being able to look around. At the end, I was told to try various tricks (the staff demonstrated how to do it), so I attempted to go backwards and upside down. I highly recommend this to everyone.
Along the course, there were spots to learn about history, hydrate, and eat bananas and macadamia nuts. It was a zip line experience where you could climb and descend on your own while enjoying nature. It seems that this activity hasn't spread much among Japanese people yet, as I didn't see many others; there was only one other group. My team even included a foreigner who was about 70 years old, so I think it's something that people of various ages can enjoy.
ジップライン最高です良い体験をしました。
日本語対応無いですが、何とかできます。
説明がすべて英語で普通会話の説明なのでどうなるかと思いました(1/3位しか分からなかった)が、スタッフが親切に日本人には単語だけ言ってくれたり、身ぶり手ぶりで教えてくれたのでコースを回って来られました。
最初にハーネスとヘルメットを装着(ちゃんと教えてくれます)して練習ジップラインを実際にはすべり下りる。
その後、バギーでコースへ出発、結構登った所が出発点です。景色がすっごく良いです。これだけで感動。初級向けから徐々に難しくなって(距離や斜度が急になってきますが、慣れて来てもっと楽しくなってくる)遂に830mあるそうですが最長のジップラインに来ます。アメリカで1番長いと聴こえました(私の1/3以下の英語理解ですが)。ちょっと余裕で(周りが見られるようになる)楽しく降りることができました。
最後はいろいろアレンジしろと言われ(スタッフが演技して降りるので分かります)背面、逆さまに挑戦しました。皆さんにもオススメします。
コースの途中には歴史や水分補給、バナナ、マカデミアの食べるところもあり、自力でロープを登ったり、降りたり、自然を満喫しながらのジップラインです。
まだあまり日本人には広がってないのか余り見かけませんでした、ほかのチームでも1組くらいしか入ってなかった。わたしのチームには70歳くらいの外人さんも入っていたので、結構年いっても出来るかと思いました。

I was looking forward to the Manoa Falls hike on this trip to Hawaii, but due to a landslide, it was closed on the day of my visit, so we had to take the alternative route to Aihualama Falls and the botanical garden.
Unfortunately, Aihualama Falls is much smaller than Manoa Falls, which was disappointing. I also wanted to see the banyan tree arch and other rustic plants along the way to Manoa Falls, but the alternative route was just a long walk through a well-maintained botanical garden, lacking the sense of adventure I had hoped for.
For those who want to avoid getting their clothes and shoes dirty, this alternative tour might be good, but for us, who were prepared to get dirty and excited about experiencing nature, it was a letdown.
While it's understandable that the Manoa Falls route is closed due to natural disasters, I believe the alternative Aihualama Falls route should be marketed as a completely different tour. It was very unkind to suggest that it was the same experience as the Manoa Falls route.
Unfortunately, the Kaimana Farm Cafe was also closed, and we ended up getting takeout bento boxes to eat at the hotel after the tour.
I can only say that the timing was unfortunate, and it was a disappointing tour.
今回のハワイ旅行で楽しみにしていたマノア滝ハイキングですが、土砂崩れで、訪問した日も閉鎖されていた為、代替のアイフアラマ滝と植物園のコースとなりました。
やはり滝の大きさは代替のアイフアラマ滝は小さく残念な感じでした。
また、滝よりもマノア滝に行くまでに見られるバニアンツリーアーチなど素朴な植物を見たかったのですが、代替コースは整備された植物園を延々と歩いていくだけでアドベンチャー感がなく期待していたものとは程遠かったです。
服や靴を汚したくない方には、今回の代替ツアーは良いかもしれませんが、汚れてもいい準備で気合入れて大自然を期待して参加した我々には拍子抜けで残念な内容でした。
マノア滝コースが閉鎖されているのは自然災害で仕方ないことですが、代替のアイフアラマ滝コースは、全くの別物のツアーであるという位置づけで、別ツアーとして案内した方が良いと思います。マノア滝コースと変わらない内容ですという案内はとても不親切だと思います。
カイマナファームカフェも運悪く閉店しており、テイクアウトのお弁当を解散時に貰ってホテルで食べました。
つくづくタイミングが悪かったとしか言いようがないですが、残念なツアーでした。
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the closure of Manoa Falls. Thank you for your valuable feedback. Manoa Falls is now open.
この度は、マノアの滝閉鎖に伴い、ご迷惑をおかけし大変申し訳ありませんでした。また、貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。現在は、マノアの滝も開通しております。

I participated in a trip with my girlfriend. The general flow was picking up participants at various locations → a break at Dole Plantation → free time in Haleiwa → horseback riding experience. At Dole Plantation, the pineapple ice cream is a specialty and it was sweet and delicious. Haleiwa (in the photo) is a nice place where I could shop at the newly opened Snoopy limited edition store and enjoy gourmet food at a restaurant famous for garlic shrimp. I had no prior experience with horseback riding, but they kindly taught me how to ride. The horses were all calm and easy to ride. Being able to ride for over an hour while enjoying the scenery was a valuable experience. The guide was also very kind, the explanations were easy to understand, and they were friendly! It was a very satisfying tour.

While attaching the harness on the plane before diving, I chatted with my partner. Everyone was considerate, trying to ease our tension.
When it came time to jump, I did feel my legs tremble, but by that point, it was too late since I was already on the plane (laughs).
The fear only lasts for that brief moment, so just brace yourself and let yourself be pushed from behind. After that, you'll experience free fall, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery with the parachute, so have fun!

We had so much fun inspite of all the dirt on our face. Lol. If you guys wanna take a ride. Might as well bring facial mask or something to cover the nose and lip part. and glasses.

Three years ago, when I participated, I encountered road closures and couldn't reach the summit, so I ended up watching the sunset and stargazing from a small hill along the way. This time, I joined to take revenge on that experience, and with the good weather and unusual clouds, the reflection of Mauna Kea and the shadows of the clouds on the opposite side of the sunset were truly enchanting.

At 5 AM, we gathered and ran for an hour on a dark road to the skydiving location! During the transfer, we signed a consent form in Japanese and watched a safety video. Once we arrived, we watched another safety video divided into English and Japanese classes! In the Japanese class, there was a foreigner who spoke fluent Japanese! It costs about $100 to $200, but I highly recommend getting photos or videos! It's definitely dangerous to use your own camera!
After that, while waiting for my name to be called, there was a food truck selling breakfast, and once my name was called, the instructor, who could speak a little Japanese, taught us in broken Japanese! After boarding the Cessna, we jumped out backward because there was a window at the back of the plane! If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication. They sold it there, and it was also available at the ABC Store!
When we jumped, I felt a moment of fear, but I followed the instructor's instructions and before I knew it, I was flying. It wasn't cold even in short sleeves, but the wind from below was intense, making it hard to laugh. After the parachute opened, if you didn't have contact lenses, they let you take off your safety glasses to enjoy the view! Still, the wind made my mouth and eyes very dry!
When landing, the grass was wet, so some people got their shoes or bottoms wet or dirty, so it's better to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! Also, it seems you can borrow shoes if they're not lace-up types!
朝5時に集合で真っ暗な道を1時間走ったとこにスカイダイビングするところはありました!移動中に日本語の同意書にサインをして、注意点のビデオを見て。着いてからもまた英語と日本語のクラスに分かれて注意点などのビデオを見ました!日本語クラスでは外人の方ですが、日本語が流ちょうな方でした!!その時にぜひ100〜200$ほどかかりますが、写真かビデオは絶対頼んだ方がいいです!自分のカメラとかは絶対危険なので使用出来ないので!
その後は自分の名前が呼ばれるまでは、朝食が売ってるワゴン車があったり、のんびり名前呼ばれてからは日本語が話せるインストラクターは今せんが、片言の日本語で教えて下さいました!セスナ機に乗り込んだあとは、セスナ機の後方に飛ぶ窓口があるため後ろ向きに飛びました!酔う片言は酔い止めをあった方がいかも。一応そこでも売っましたし、ABCストアでも酔い止め売ってました!
飛ぶ時は、ほんと一瞬怖いと思いましたが言われた通りの姿勢でインストラクターに任せていたら、気づいたら飛んでて。半袖でも寒くはなかったですが、下からの風がすごくてなかなか笑うのも大変でしたパラシュート開いた後はコンタクトで無ければ安全メガネを外してくれて景色を楽しむことが出来ました!それでも風で口や目がすごく乾きました!
着地の時は芝生が濡れてたので、靴や着地のときにお尻を着いたりしてる方もいて濡れたり汚れたりがあるので汚れてもいい服の方が良さそうです!あと、一応そこで靴も紐タイプの靴とかでなければ借りれるみたいです!

I participated in the 2-hour course without transportation included. I went by rental car, and it was easy to get there because of its clear location. During check-in, I was told that I could bring my smartphone, water, and a towel. (There were coin lockers available for about $5, so I stored my bag there. I left my valuables with a companion who wasn't participating.) The horse had a small bag attached, so I could put water in it, but I finished before I even had a chance to drink (laughs). I recommend having a smartphone ring; it helps stabilize your phone while riding, making it easier to take good photos. Without it, I felt like I might drop my phone and couldn't take great pictures. The staff took wonderful photos with our phones, so I have lovely memories captured.
But above all, I can't forget the magnificent views I saw with my own eyes. The 2 hours flew by in no time. It was a tour that made me truly want to participate again!!! Thank you very much!

During the pickup, the guide informed us that the roads were closed due to snowfall and that cancellations were possible. On the way to the pickup, there were several groups who decided to cancel. We thought of this as an experience and continued on to the Onizuka Center. We waited while eating our lunch, hoping that the weather would clear up and the road would be reopened, but in the end, it was not.
After that, we hurriedly searched for a good spot to see the sunset and drove the van. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset and starry sky. The photos taken can be downloaded later.
Finally, we received a re-participation ticket valid for one year. It seems we need to apply directly on the website rather than through here, but I definitely want to challenge this again next year. Also, I was happy to meet BigJin, who helped us on a previous tour, after eight years.
お迎えの時にガイドさんから、降雪のため道路封鎖中、キャンセルも可とお話しいただきました。ピックアップの途中、キャンセルされる方も幾組あり。私たちは、これも何かの経験だと思い、そのままオニヅカセンターまで行きました。きれいに晴れてこのまま閉鎖が解除されるといいなとお弁当を食べながら待っていましたが、結局解除されず。
そのあと、サンセットを見るために、大急ぎできれいに見られる場所を探してバンを走らせました。おかげで美しいサンセットと星空を見ることができました。撮っていただいた写真はあとからダウンロードできます。
最後に、1年以内有効の再参加チケットをいただきました。こちらからではなく、直接サイトに申し込む必要があるそうですが、ぜひ、来年チャレンジしたいと思います。

We had a blast at Coral Crater! We booked the ultimate package that included zipline, tower,and ATV and it was so worth it! The day started off zip-lining. We had zip-lined at a few other places here which I remember being somewhat bored. This wasn't the case here. The lines fly through the tree top and it definitely felt a lot faster than our previous zip tour. No one got stuck on the lines because you go more than fast enough! I wish I was able to post some of the video here! After zip-lining we had a much needed hour break for lunch before the tower activity. It does get very hot as the adventure park is literally built into a crater and is protected from the wind. Taking a break to cool off and drink lots of water was very nice. The tower was a ton of fun, some obstacles were pretty easy while others were fairly challenging. I am not a climber so being up in the air really took me out of my comfort zone which made even the simple obstacles exciting! The safety equipment they use is top notch, high-end gear, so when you do fall you can rest easy knowing that you are safe.There was a 3rd grade boy in the group who was flying through the course, his parents (not old) could barely keep up! So its safe to say this great for kids. The most intimidating part is the "freefall" from 70 ft using the auto-belay device.It looks terrifying but is actually pretty fun. The climbing wall was a lot of fun also. We all got to take as many attempts as we wanted. I made it up to the bell both times I went and was exhausted after that. The final activity was ATVs. These are not normal ATVs, they are custom 800cc v-twin mid-engine off-road machines. I had a blast drifting and sliding the ATV around. I got the ATV almost sideways multiple times and at one point we almost hit 30MPH! This is not a slow, sightseeing ATV ride, so do not expect that. Driving skill will play a role in how exciting this ATV is. If you want to tear up the trail and get dirty, these are the ATVs to do it on!
Mike, Thanks for the kind review. It was great having you at the park and we hope to welcome you back for another fun time.

Many people say sunset is better than sunrise, but sunrise is great, too.
Even though we were on the tour about two days before the full-moon (meaning moonlight is very bright and moon doesn't set until about 5 in the morning), we could enjoy the gorgeous stars in the sky with decent explanation of the stars.
Sunrise was also gorgeous. It was no doubt one of the most beautiful scenaries I have ever seen in my life. Although we were lucky enough to see both stars and sunrise in good weather and it is said that we mostly see clear sky at the peak of Mauna Kea, you may have to keep in mind weather is always a variable you can never tell.
Our guides were good, with a lot of experience and knowledge, trying to do their best to make the tour enjoyable.
If you are okay to go to bed early on the day before and can wake up at 1:30 in the morning, it will let you spend your time more wisely because you have a whole day even after you come back from the tour. (we came back to the hotel around 8:30 am)
Also be noted that the temperature up there is very low. Especially because the weater in Hawaii is hot and you need to face the near-freezing-point weather on the same day, make sure to prepare warm clothes yourself. The ski jackets and pants they lend you will not be enough.
Aloha, this is Sumire from NatureSchool.
Thank you for joining our tour and giving us your feedback.
I 'm glad to hear that you could enjoy the stars and sunrise with the clear sky.
As you said, it's very hard to expect the weather on the summit.
Even though the weather is not good, we try our best to make the customers enjoy the tour.
Our tour guides have much knowledge and many skills.
We would love to do more English tours in the future.
We are looking forward to seeing you again on Bigisland.
Thank you for joining our tour again!

We had so much fun tubing in Kauai! Our leader Jasper was hilarious and so informative. We learned a lot about the island that we never knew. Bring your cameras! We didn’t know that there would be a safe dry spot so we left ours behind and boy do we regret it. The lookout is breathtaking. So worth it. Anyone can do this activity. I wished I would have brought my 5 year old because I think she would have loved it too!

I wasn't able to see the moment the sun set, but the sunset was magical, and I experienced a little rain. I saw lightning in the clouds at my feet, which was a precious experience. The starry sky was amazing and became a lifelong memory. I left something in the car. I called the company the next day, and they immediately checked the car for me. They informed me that it would be picked up at my hotel the following day. The staff's efforts to entertain and their prompt problem-solving actions are truly commendable.
夕日が沈む瞬間は見ることができませんでしたが、夕焼けは幻想的で少ない雨も体験でき、足元の雲の中で稲光が光り、貴重な体験をいたしました。星空は最高で一生涯の思い出になりました。車に忘れ物をしてしまいました。翌日会社に電話をしましたが、すぐ車内を見てくださり、翌日滞在先のホテルでピックアップがあるとのことで届けてくださいました。スタッフの人を楽しませる努力と即問題解決に対応する行動は激賞に値します。
Dear Kumagorou,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. Your warm words have filled my heart with joy. I am truly grateful.
Please do come back to the Big Island again. I hope you will be able to enjoy the beautiful sunset from the summit next time.
We sincerely look forward to your return to the island.

I knew it was a full moon season, but I definitely want to go during a dark moon phase next time. It's a shame I couldn't schedule it due to work commitments. The experience met my expectations. Good job!
時期的に、満月だということがわかっていましたが、次回はぜひ暗い月齢時に
行きたい。 なかなか業務上予定がとれなくて残念
内容は、期待どおりでした。 Good Job
Dear Mr. Yama of Antlers,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. We understand that the full moon may have limited your stargazing experience this time. We appreciate your hard work. Even if it’s not a new moon, there are many days when stargazing can be enjoyed before the moon rises!
Next time, if you know your stay dates, please feel free to inquire about the moon phases.
We all look forward to your next visit to the island.

今回は満月とのことで星空があまりご鑑賞いただけなかったかと存じます。
お仕事お疲れ様です。月齢は、新月でなくても、月の上がってくる前に星空観測ができる日などたくさんございます!
次回、ご滞在期間がお分かりになりましたら、お気軽に月齢に関してお問合せ頂ければと思います。
またのご来島を、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

Dear Traveler Aoi,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. We appreciate your preparation for the cold weather. As a repeat customer, you certainly know how to be well-prepared.
Indeed, Mauna Kea does have a rainy season, and the summit temperature hovers around 0 degrees Celsius throughout the year. If you find it unnecessary, you can leave your gear in the car, but for your next visit, we recommend preparing some additional cold-weather gear along with our ski wear.
There's nothing quite like enjoying miso soup in the chilly outdoors. On our Mauna Kea Sunrise Tour, we serve warm cocoa. We would love for you to join us again for our Mauna Kea Summit Stargazing and Sunrise Tour.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.

防寒のご準備ありがとうございました。さすがリピーター様ということもあり、対策がばっちりですね。
確かにマウナケアも雨季がございまして、年間を通して山頂は0度前後となっております。
ご不要の場合は、お車に置いていただけますので、次回またご参加頂く場合は、弊社のスキーウエアの他に何か防寒対策のご準備を頂ければと存じます。
寒い野外で飲むお味噌汁は最高ですよね。マウナケアの日の出のツアーでは暖かいココアをお出ししております。
是非次回、弊社のマウナケア山頂星空と日の出ツアーへご参加頂ければと存じます。
スタッフ一同、旅人あお様のまたのご来島を心よりお待ち申し上げます。
