Hawaii
It was our last day in Hawai’i. This hike was the best way to end our 7 day vacation! It was a great bonding time for me and my son! I have a chronic illness so for us to do this hike together is something that we will cherish forever. Walking, talking, and exploring this rainforest was a big hit. Thank you for offering this. Our young man that picked us up was great and helpful!
I appreciated the suggestion to book a different time slot to minimize waiting time at the ranch. The shuttle service with the large bus was comfortable.
However, the procedures upon arrival were somewhat unclear, so it would be helpful if the steps were written on the voucher in advance. I didn't know that helmets were required because they weren't shown in the photos, so I bought a hat the day before, but I would have liked to know beforehand.
It would also be beneficial to have clear information about paid lockers and photography guidelines provided in advance rather than on the day of the activity.
As for the activity itself, we only watched a short video before riding, and then we were quickly on the horses. During the ride, there were two instructors for six participants, but they mostly left us to our own devices (laughs). While it's nice to have freedom, some people might feel anxious about it.
Naturally, each horse has a different personality; there were calm horses, some that only wanted to eat grass and wouldn't listen, and others that were playful with the other horses, which was amusing. The horse I rode seemed to be a bit of a troublemaker, as the instructor frequently came over to praise it. It was curious about the other horses and occasionally sped up, but I held the reins firmly, so it was fine. By the way, there was someone who completely let their horse do whatever it wanted, and that horse was just eating grass (laughs).
The horseback riding lasted a solid two hours, allowing us to enjoy the stunning scenery! We rode towards the mountains while looking at the sea. There were ups and downs, making it quite a workout just to sit on the horse. The views were truly magnificent! If you're going because of the Jurassic Park movie, I recommend reviewing it again right before your visit for even more enjoyment.
We were able to start riding about 20 minutes after arriving and boarded the bus about 30 minutes after finishing, so we had almost no waiting time on-site, resulting in zero stress. However, if things don't go smoothly, there can be a three-hour wait at the ranch, so I recommend confirming this when making your reservation.
By the way, the waiting area is in the restaurant inside the souvenir shop, and waiting for an hour seemed tough for us. The food didn't seem promising either, so if needed, I recommend bringing light snacks like bread.
予約時に牧場での待機時間が少ない時間になるように別の時間帯での予約の提案があり、助かりました。
大型バスでの送迎で快適でした。
現地到着後の手順が若干曖昧で事前に手順をバウチャーに書いていただけると助かります。
写真ではヘルメット着用していなく、着用することを知らなかったため、前日に帽子を買いましたが、事前に知りたかったです。
有料ロッカーの案内や写真撮影などに対する注意・案内が当日ではなく事前に分かりやすくあると助かります。
アクティビティ自体は、乗馬前に簡単なビデオを見るだけで、すぐに乗馬。乗馬中もインストラクター(決まったフレーズのみ日本語で話せます。こちらからの質問はあまりコミュニケーション取れないと思った方がよいです。)が体験者6名に対し、2名いましたが、ほぼ放置プレイでした(笑)
自由でいいですが、不安に思う人もいるかもしれないです。
当たり前ですが、馬によって性格が違い、おとなしい馬、草ばかり食べて言うことを聞かない馬、他の馬にちょっかいを出す馬がいて面白かったです。私が乗った馬はインストラクターが頻繁にいい子にするように声をかけにくるちょっとした問題児のようで、他の馬が気になったり、急に早足になったりしましたが、しっかり手綱を持っていたので大丈夫でした。ちなみにまったく指示を出さず、完全になめられている人もいて、その馬は草ばかり食べていました(笑)
乗馬はしっかり2時間で素晴らしい景色の中で堪能できます!海を見ながら山の中に向かいます。アップダウンもあり、乗っているだけで結構な運動量になります。景色が本当に素晴らしかったです!ジュラシックパークの映画がきっかけで行くのであれば、もう一度直前におさらいしてかは行くとより楽しめるかと。
私達は到着後20分位で乗馬、終了後も30分位でバス乗車出来たので、現地での待機時間もほぼなくストレスゼロでしたが、うまくいかないと3時間の牧場待機時間があるそうです。予約時に確認することをおすすめします。
ちなみに待機場所はお土産屋さん内のレストランとなり、1時間待機も私達にはきつそうです。食事にも期待は出来ない感じでしたので、必要であればパン等の軽食持参をおすすめします。
The weather was very nice, and I was able to see the sunset, the Milky Way, the moon, and almost everything across the entire Big Island! I really appreciated the guide's explanations and support for taking photos. Next time I go to the Big Island, I want to see the sunrise with this tour company. Thank you!
天気がとてもよく、ハワイ島全域、日の入り、天の川、月と、ほぼすべて見ることができました!
またガイドさんによる説明や写真撮影サポート、大変ありがたかったです。
今度ハワイ島に行くときはこのツアー会社での日の出を見に行きたいです。
ありがとうございました!

The course in the mountains after the rain was a bit muddy, which made me a little anxious, but the horse walked very well. There were times when I slipped, but the horse maintained its balance, so it wasn't a problem. I think the course on a sunny day would also be nice, but the course after the rain was thrilling and fun. The boss doesn't speak Japanese, but the guide provides a thorough explanation before riding, and there are illustrated signs, so there's no need to worry.
雨が降った後の山のコースだったため、足元がぬかるみ少し不安でしたが、馬が上手に歩いてくれました。時々滑りましたが、馬が上手にバランスをとってくれるので問題ありませんでした。晴天のときのコースも良いと思いますが、雨が降った後のコースもスリリングで楽しかったです。ボスは日本語を話しませんが、乗馬前にガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれるし、イラストで説明された説明版があるので心配いりません。
I participated in a tour to observe the starry sky at Mauna Kea, hoping for a sky full of stars during the new moon. The weather was clear at the summit of Mauna Kea, and I was excited for what promised to be a wonderful night of stargazing. However, around sunset, clouds suddenly spread across the sky, and the sunset only peeked through the gaps in the clouds. Despite this, I was very lucky to see the rare phenomenon of sun pillars. After that, it started to rain, and the stars seemed to vanish. The guides, Shin and Big Jin, began searching for a stargazing spot. When we had descended quite a bit, they explained, "Let's wait for another five minutes, and if the clouds don't clear, we'll head back." Just as everyone was starting to give up, the clouds suddenly parted, and although it was brief, we were able to see the Milky Way. We may not be able to conquer the weather, but thanks to the guides' efforts, we were able to enjoy the starry sky. Thank you very much.
マウナケアでの星空観測、新月での満天の星空を期待してツアーに参加しました。マウナケアの頂上までは晴天で、今日はすばらしい星空観測日和と期待にわくわくしました。ところが、日没のころには急に雲が広がってしまい、夕日は雲のすきまからしか顔を見せてくれませんでした。そんな中ですが、太陽柱という珍しい景色を見ることができ、とてもラッキーでした。その後は、雨が降ってきて星空はどこへやら。ガイドのシンさん・ビッグジンさんによる星空観測場所探しが始まりました。かなり標高を下ったところで、「もう5分待って雲が切れなかったら帰りましょう。」と説明があり、みんなが諦めかけていたところに、突然雲が切れ、短時間ではありましたが、天の川まで見ることができました。天候に勝つことはできませんが、ガイドさんの努力により無事に星空を見ることができました。ありがとうございました。
Dear Hawaii Lover,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Sunset and Stargazing Tour. Although the weather was unfortunately poor on the day of your visit, we are relieved to hear that everyone persevered and was able to enjoy at least a glimpse of the night sky.
We sincerely hope that next time you can experience a sky full of stars. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back to the island.

Horseback riding was amazing. The scenery was also fantastic, and it was truly great.
However, both the Wi-Fi router and my phone lost signal, and I panicked because I couldn't load Google Maps to find the meeting point...
It's better to download it in advance.
Also, my daughter, even though she was wearing long pants, seemed to have been bitten by a tick or something, and she bled and swelled badly...
I recommend wearing sturdy jeans or something similar.
乗馬は最高でした。
景色も最高で本当に良かった。
でも、Wi-Fiルーターも携帯も圏外になり待ち合わせ場所まで、
Google MAPが読み込めず焦った。。。。
事前にダウンロードしておいた方が良い。
それと娘が長ズボンなのにヒルか何かに吸われたようで、
酷く出血、腫れました。。。
しっかりとしたジーンズなどがおすすめ。
At first, flying without windows was really scary, but once I got on, it was stable and not as bad as I thought. There were two people in the front seats, and with the pilot, there were three of us. The pilot was friendly and provided excellent service, chatting a lot and explaining each view. Of course, it was through the intercom due to the noise and wind. Since I live in the continental United States, I was fine, but it might be a bit tough for shy people.
The pilot was very enthusiastic, so while flying over Waikiki Beach, we lay down and made steep descents and figure-eights, getting a good view of the beachgoers. That was quite thrilling. After that, we flew over most of the tourist spots and got close to waterfalls in the mountains that can only be accessed by helicopter, as well as slopes without any paths. It was definitely a sight that can only be seen from a helicopter.
At the end, we circled right above Honolulu Airport, which was great because seeing passenger planes taxiing just below us is something you don’t get to experience often. The planes were so close; it felt like we were flying a bit too close right above the airport. It was an incredibly memorable sightseeing flight, and I absolutely recommend it.
窓なしは最初めちゃくちゃ怖かったけど、乗ってみると安定していて思ったほどではありませんでした。
前の座席に2人、パイロットと合わせ3人、パイロットの方が気さくでサービス満点、いっぱい話しかけられるし、一つ一つの景色を説明してくれます。
当然英語と、騒音、風の音がすごいので、インカムの会話ですが。
自分はアメリカ本土在住なので大丈夫ですが、シャイな人にはちときついかな。
サービス精神旺盛だから、ワイキキビーチの上を飛んでるとき横になって急降下したり8の字で飛んだり、結構ビーチの人がしっかり見えるくらいでした。
あれはスリル度高いです。
その後おおかたの観光拠点を飛び、ヘリでしか近づけない山の中にある滝とか道のない山の斜面に近づいたり、絶対ヘリでしか見れない光景でした。
最後ホノルル空港の真上を旋回して飛んでたので、滑走路に進んでる旅客機をすぐ上から見る光景もなかなかできないので良かったです。飛行機が近い近い。ちょっと寄りすぎでいいのかなと思うくらいの空港のすぐ上飛んでました。
めちゃくちゃ思い出になる遊覧飛行で絶対お勧めですね。
The ride was good. None of us have ever ridden a horse on the beach, so it was a new experience. I haven't spent more than 20 minutes on a horse before this, more than a decade ago, so it was almost all new to me. We liked how the leader stopped us on the beach and took nice photos of us to remember the ride. The reason I didn't give a perfect score was that I think the leader of the ride needed to be more aware of the riding skill of the people she was leading and give advice on how to improve instead of just telling us what not to do.
Since it was my first time on the Big Island, my husband and I decided to participate in the Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour! I was worried about altitude sickness since I had never climbed a high mountain before, but it was not a problem at all. The weather was fantastic that day, and both the sunset and stargazing from near the observatory were truly amazing, creating memories for a lifetime. If you're going to the Big Island, I highly recommend this tour.
初めてのハワイ島だったので、ぜひマウナケアのサンセットと星空観測に行きたいと思い夫婦二人で参加しました!
高い山には登ったことがないので、高山病を心配していたのですが、まったく問題ありませんでした。
当日はとても天気が良かったので、天文台付近から見たサンセットも星空観察も本当に素晴らしく、一生の思い出になりました。
ハワイ島に行くなら、このツアーをおすすめします。
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour.
We have set aside time for altitude acclimatization during our tour, so very few people experience altitude sickness. However, we keep oxygen tanks on hand just in case, so you can join us with peace of mind.
We are very pleased that the tour met your expectations.
Please come visit the Big Island again.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit.

We participated as a family of four. There were also two couples, making a total of eight people. I think we were on the horses for just under two hours.
Everything was in English, but the staff was very friendly and explained the history of Waipi'o Valley in a way that was easy to understand.
The weather was nice, and riding horses in nature was very relaxing.
While the service wasn't overly luxurious, they took family photos from various angles, and even when there were delays or the line got mixed up, we were guided smoothly without feeling rushed, allowing us to enjoy the scenery with peace of mind.
The kids were very satisfied, so we would like to participate again.
The cat in the stable was cute.
家族4人で参加しました。
他はカップル2組の合計8名でした。
馬に乗っていたのは二時間弱だと思います。
全て英語でしたが、とてもフレンドリーなスタッフでワイピオ渓谷の歴史などもとても分かりやすく説明してくれました。
天気が良かった事もあり、自然の中をのんびりと馬に乗りながらとても癒されました。
至れり尽くせりのサービスではありませんが、家族での写真も色々な角度で撮ってくれましたし、列が乱れたり、遅れたりしても急かされる事なく、上手く誘導してもらえたので、安心して風景を楽しめました。
子供達も大満足だったので、また参加したいと思います。
馬小屋にいた猫が可愛かった。
Toshi, our driver guide, was a kind and fun person. On the day of the tour, there were a total of 10 people picked up from three different hotels, and we were able to leave each hotel ahead of schedule, which made for a very pleasant start to the tour.
Although the weather was a bit bad, we were able to enjoy horseback riding and had a great day. I felt that the horseback riding was a bit more active and enjoyable than at Kualoa. My husband had his first horseback riding experience, and he seemed to really enjoy it, saying he wanted to ride again after we finished.
We couldn't see the turtles in Haleiwa, as it seems there is a specific season for that, but I recommend checking the timing if you're looking forward to seeing them. (You can gauge the chances of seeing them based on the guide's comments, haha.) For lunch, we thoroughly enjoyed garlic shrimp and huli huli chicken and were very satisfied.
ドライバーガイドのトシさんが親切で楽しい人でした。
当日は、異なるホテル3ヵ所からのピックアップ計10人のツアーでしたが、
何処のホテルも時間より早く出発でき、とても気持ちの良いツアースタートで
した。
少しだけ悪天候気味でしたが、乗馬を充分楽しめて良い一日を過ごせました。
私は、クアロアでの乗馬よりもう少しアクティブで楽しいなぁとと感じました。
主人は乗馬初体験でしたが、終了後また乗馬をしたいと、かなり気に入っていたようです。
ハレイワの亀は、時期があるようなのでみれませんでしたが、楽しみにしているかたは、時期を調べて行かれるのをお勧めします。
(当日観れる確率はガイドさんの話ぶりで解ります(笑))
ランチはガーリックシュリンプ、フリフリチキンを堪能し大満足です。
I signed up because I wanted to try zip-lining at least once. As mentioned in the experiences, there were no Japanese participants, and the staff spoke English, but the language barrier was not an issue at all. (You can generally understand by observing the atmosphere and your surroundings.)
First, we drove up the mountain in a four-wheeler, and the driving was aggressive and fun. I also thought zip-lining would just be about sliding down, but there were parts where we had to climb back up using ropes, which was very tiring. But it was enjoyable.
ジップラインを一度やってみたくて申し込みしました。
体験談にあるように参加者に日本人はいなく、スタッフも英語ですが
言葉の問題は全く問題ありませんでした。
(雰囲気や、周りを見えいれば大体わかります)
最初に4輪バギーで山の上の方まで登るのですが、
運転がアグレッシブで楽しかったです。
また、ジップラインはただ滑り降りていくだけだと思っていましたが、
途中ロープで上まで登ったりするところもありとても疲れました。
でも楽しかったです。
It's not often that you can ride for two hours, so I signed up without hesitation! We moved forward in a single line with a small group, and I was at the front. The horse is smart and remembers the course. I was so excited, thinking "Ah, this is the best!" but after about an hour, I started to feel a bit tired from enjoying it so much. We made our way back after an hour and a half. Riding really feels great.
It was very good, but the English explanation was only for the foreign guests coming behind us. Maybe they thought we wouldn't understand? Even if I didn't understand everything, I could pick up some words. That was a bit disappointing.
2時間も乗れることはなかなかないので、迷わずこれ!と、申し込みました。少人数で一列に並んで進みます。しかも先頭。賢い馬なので、コースも覚えています。あー、最高〜〜と、ワクワクして乗っていましたが、1時間を過ぎたぐらいから、堪能しちゃって、ちょっと疲れた感が。とっとこ進んで1時間半で、コース戻って来ました(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)でも、本当に乗馬は気持ちいいです。
とても良かったのですが、英語の解説、私たちの後ろを来る外国の方にのみ。どうせわからないと思ったのかな?わからなくても、単語は拾って聞き取れるのですが。そこがちょっと残念でした。
We were lucky as the weather was cool and cloudy, but did not rain. Our guides were terrific. We had our "safety" talks and felt very comfortable with the safety harness and double clips used. Our party had ziplined before in Colorado and Costa Rica, so we had comparisons. Our guides were entertaining, knowledgeable and very patient. We did see wildlife - a hawk and of course, the mongoose. We did not want it to end.
I was worried about horseback riding for the first time, but the Japanese guide taught us carefully, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! During the bus ride, they talked about recommended shops and the town of Hawaii, allowing us to fully enjoy the day. The only disappointment was that we couldn't meet any sea turtles at Turtle Bay.
初めての乗馬で心配していましたが、日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださったので、安心して楽しむことができました!
バス道中でも、オススメのお店やハワイの街についてお話ししてくださり、一日満喫することができました(*´-`)
タートルベイでは、ウミガメに会うことができなくてそれだけが残念でした(´;ω;`)
Very few places could match this experience. The location; the slow climb up the giant sloping mountain. We went through rain, sun, even through a cloud; through the lava landscape, ranch lands and very bumpy rocky last stretch of road to reach the top! And wow it was a view from the top.
Be warned; it is very very cold; not what you expect from your Hawaiian break! You get nice warm coats from the tour group though (and later a little hot cocoa and brownie to keep you going!)
As the sun sets; you can see the mountains shadow on the other side; a glimpse of Maui and the glint of the sun off the telescopes preparing for their nights work. You can see the odd bit of movement as they open up. As soon as the suns down; its all go though. We have to leave the area quickly as the lights from the cars interfere with the telescopes (so no, there is no looking around inside them; if that is what you're hoping for in this trip!).
We move down slope a little to a good spot to see the huge expanse of clear, cloudless sky and the abundance of stars.
It is slightly interrupted with the brightness of the moon (so depending how long your stay is in Hawaii, plan for a darker night, unless you love the moon!); but not enough to stop us seeing nebula, planets and stars - its a really interesting spot to see both the northern and southern skies.
We did also spot a bit of the glow from the erupting volcano
This was one of the highlights of our trip, like the title say... Go! It was beautiful, challenging (slippery on a sunny day - potentially dangerous if you aren’t wearing proper shoes for the hike portion) and exhilarating. Our guide Tyler was a wealth of information and kept everyone relaxed through a new experience.
Nathan....thanks for sharing. Come back and enjoy our other tours and guides. Retain those Kaua'i memories. Thanks again. Micco
We went on our honeymoon with another foreign couple. It was unfortunately rainy, but the guide contacted us early and suggested we dress in clothes that could get muddy, so I participated in shorts, a T-shirt, and comfortable sandals. I got completely muddy, and it felt great! (^ ^) The guide provided fun explanations in both English and Japanese while we walked, and also shared recommendations for shops and culture, which was really wonderful! I would love to join the dolphin tour next time, and I hope to have the same guide again.
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、外国人カップルとの4人でした。
あいにくの雨でしたがガイドさんが早めに連絡をくださり、泥だらけになってもいい格好でとの事だったので短パンにTシャツと歩きやすいサンダルで参加。
思いっきり泥だらけになり気持ちよかったです(^ ^)
またガイドさんが英語と日本語で楽しく説明しながら歩いてくださり、オススメのお店や文化なども教えてくれて本当にお会いできてよかったです!
また次回ドルフィンツアーにも参加したいので、同じガイドさんがいいなーと思っております。
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Please consider joining us for other tours next time. We look forward to seeing you!
嬉しい書き込みありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようで私たちもとても嬉しいです。是非、次回は他のツアーにもご参加ください。お待ちしています。
The sunset at the summit was amazing!!
And for stargazing, I was able to see the moon, Mars, and Kilauea Volcano all at the same time!!
It was a full moon, so it was a shame I couldn't see the Milky Way... but I was able to see many constellations, so it's all good~
山頂での夕焼けは、最高でした!!
そして、星空観測は、月と火星とキラウエア火山が同時に見れました!!
満月だったので、天の川が見れなかったのは、残念でしたが… 星座は、たくさん観れたのでOK〜
Dear Wakaso,
Hello, this is Sumire from Nature School. Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing tour. It was lucky that you were able to see Kilauea Volcano during the stargazing! The full moon viewed from the summit of Mauna Kea is very bright and beautiful, but it's unfortunate that you couldn't fully enjoy the starry sky. Please do come again when the moon's influence is less. The sunrise tour also has its own unique charm and is highly recommended.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your next visit!

Our guide Jeff picked us up from the Pu'u Huluhulu Cinder Cone parking lot, at the base of the road up to the summit. We had a very nice pre-packaged dinner at the base camp, then rode up to the visitor center and onward to the observatories. A bumpy and steep ride, I was very happy to have an experienced driver at the wheel!
At the top the weather was cool and clear and good for viewing a sunset, then we went down to a slightly lower lot to view stars and planets through a good quality Celestron scope.... the clear air and high altitude really added detail! First time I have been able to make out the rings of Saturn, and four of Jupiter's moons were posing really well for us! Some really excellent deep space views too! Check out a cool image of the moon from the Celestron scope....
Highly recommended, especially if you live somewhere with so much haze and light pollution you don't get to see that stars that well!
Mahalo!!
The starry sky that changed the life of the tour guide truly lived up to its promise. The beautiful sunset, the star-filled sky, and the incredibly entertaining guide, Matsuchan, created wonderful memories.
The photos taken against the backdrop of the fantastical scenery of Kilauea Volcano's red glow reflecting on the clouds and the starry sky are treasures. Although the camera I brought was nothing special, they prepared a high-sensitivity camera there, so I was relieved to be able to take many photos.
I was also happy that the bento box served along the way tasted just like the ones I eat in Japan.
ツアーガイドの人生を変えたという星空、その言葉に偽りはありませんでした。きれいな夕日、満天の星空、面白すぎるガイドの松ちゃん。本当に良い思い出となりました。
キラウェア火山の赤が雲に映る幻想的な景色と星空を背景に撮影した写真は宝物です。持参したカメラは大したことないものでしたが、むこうで高感度カメラを準備してくれて、たくさん写真を撮ってもらえるので、安心です。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. The Mauna Kea Sunset and Stars Tour is our most popular tour. You can enjoy the beautiful views of the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea, the sea of clouds, various observatories from around the world, and Japan's pride, the Subaru Telescope. It truly allows you to experience being on Earth.
Moreover, Mauna Kea offers different scenery every day, so many customers return for a second or third visit after experiencing the summit.
We hope you will come back to the Big Island next time as well.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.

I participated with my middle school daughter. Both of us lacked sufficient English skills, so there were many parts of the guide's explanations that we couldn't understand. They would answer our questions, but there wasn't much kindness or consideration shown. It was raining quite a bit, and it felt like we were just turning back on the same path, making the journey monotonous. The rain gear they provided was excellent, and we didn't get wet at all in the covered areas. I wonder if it would have felt nice if it had been sunny.
中学生の娘と参加。ふたりとも英語力が足りないので、ガイドの方の言っている説明が、理解できない部分が多くありました。質問すれば教えてくれるけど、あまり親切に心配りをしてくれるとか、配慮をしてくれるとかは、なかったかな。雨が結構ふっていたし、同じ道をUターンしている感じで、単調な道のり。かしてくれた雨具は、優秀で、隠れている部分は全然ぬれなかったです。晴れてたら、気持ちよかったのかなー。
It was the first experience for the whole family, but after a while, it became enjoyable. The scenery was amazing, and above all, the horses were cute. The locals were kind and friendly as well.
家族全員が初体験でしたがしばらくすれば楽しくなってきました。景色も最高で何より馬がかわいい。現地の人も親切で優しかったです。
Thank you for participating.

My family really enjoyed this tour. The caves were super fun and RJ and Cody who led our tour were nice and friendly. They made the trip more fun.
I participated with a friend. They picked us up at the hotel, and along the way, we had fun conversations and learned various recommendations about Maui. We enjoyed drinks at Krispy Kreme, chose bento boxes at the supermarket (I underestimated the bento, but it was incredibly delicious), and shopping at Kula Lodge (we got to sample a lot of food). The journey to Haleakalā was truly enjoyable. The sunset was so moving that words can't describe it. Additionally, we went to a hidden spot where there were only 2 or 3 other people besides our tour group. We had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, the starry sky was not fully visible due to the clouds, but it was a sky that you can't see in Tokyo. (Even though we could see a little, we were told we could come back for a revenge trip next time. It was really thoughtful of them.) I was also moved by Yamapi's passionate stories. Thank you for everything. I will definitely participate again! For those who are unsure about going, you should definitely go—it's highly recommended!
友達と2人で参加させていただきました。ホテルまでお迎えに来ていただいて道中楽しいお話しに加えオススメのお店などマウイに関して色々と教えていただきました。クリスピードーナッツに飲み物、スーパーでお弁当選び(お弁当とあなどっていましたがすごーく美味しいです。)、クラロッジでお買い物(たくさん試食させてもらいました)、ハレアカラに着くまでも本当に楽しかったです。サンセットは言葉にならないほど感動しました。さらに穴場に行っていただいたのかそこは私達ツアー客と他には2、3人だけ。本当に素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。残念ながら星空は雲が多く満天の星とまではいきませんでしたが東京では見れない星空でした。(しかも少しは見えたにもかかわらず、次回リベンジして良いとのこと。ほんと至れりつくせりです。)ヤマピーさんの熱のこもったお話にも感動です。色々とありがとうございました。絶対にまた参加しまーす!!行くか迷われてる方は絶対に行った方が良いですよ〜。オススメです。
I participated with my middle school daughter. Both of us were a bit tired on the fifth day in Hawaii. The weather was nice, and we could see the sunset, the moon, and the stars clearly. I regretted that we couldn't see the Milky Way because the moon was so bright. We could also see the glow of the Kilauea volcano faintly. The scenery of the Big Island along the way was beautiful, and the various guide explanations were interesting. Matt's chatter was enjoyable too. I wondered if he was okay talking so much in such thin oxygen. I appreciated his effort to entertain us. The down jacket and pants we borrowed were incredibly warm. The miso soup we had in the cold was very delicious!
中学生の娘と参加。私も娘も、やや疲れ気味のハワイ5日目。お天気もよくて夕日、月、星共によく見えました。月が明るくて天の川が見えなかったのが心残り。キラウエアの火山のあかりもボンヤリとみえました。途中のハワイ島の景色も良かったし、色々なガイド説明も興味深かった。まっちゃんのおしゃべりも楽しかったです。酸素が薄い中、あんなに、話し続けて、大丈夫かな?私たちを楽しませてくれようとする気持ちがありがたかったです。借りたダウンとズボンは凄く暖かかった。寒い中で食べる味噌汁はとてもおいしかった!
Dear Ponta,
Thank you very much for participating in the Mauna Kea Sunset and Stars Tour with Nature School. The view from the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island is truly magnificent, having been selected as one of the world's scenic spots.
The stars visible vary by season, and in July, when you participated, you could see Hokule'a, the Big Dipper, the Summer Milky Way, Scorpius, and Cygnus. Personally, I love Scorpius and the Milky Way. If you visit a bit earlier, you can also see the Southern Cross. Additionally, during the limited season from December to March, you can see the Southern Cross on our Mauna Kea Summit Stars and Sunrise Tour.
The star observation at 3,700 meters during the Nature School Mauna Kea Sunset and Stars Tour is different from other companies.
We sincerely hope you will join our tours again next time.

ネイチャースクールのマウナケア夕陽と星のツアーにご参加頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。
ハワイ島のマウナケアは世界の絶景シリーズにも選ばれているぐらい山頂からの景色は本当に素晴らしいです。
季節によって見える星が違いますので、ポンた様がご参加された7月ですとホクレア、北斗七星、夏の天の川、さそり、白鳥がみえます。
私の個人的にはさそりと天の川が大好きです。またもう少し早い時期ですと南十字星も見れます。
またマウナケア山頂星と日の出ツアーですと今の時期限定で(12月~3月)南十字星も見ることができます。
ネイチャースクールのマウナケア山頂夕陽と星のツアーでは星観測も3700メートルの高地ですので他社様とは違います。
次回も弊社のツアーにご参加くださいます様何卒宜しくお願い申し上げます。

I think the satisfaction level would increase if the packages were a bit cheaper. My first grader and third grader enjoyed it enough, and the adults didn't feel lacking either.
もう少しお安いパッケージだと満足度が上がると思う。
1年生と3年生の子供も十分に楽しめたし、
大人も物足りないこともない。
Husband and I throughly enjoyed the excursion! Our guide blew us away with his well rounded knowledge of the island, its geography and history. The coffee farm and meal were a special treat before an evening of stargazing.
It was a wonderful tour.
The summit of Mauna Kea was above the clouds, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sunset and stargazing, as well as photographing the night sky. I was also amazed to see the phenomenon of Kilauea's lava illuminating the sky in red from the summit.
The guide's explanations and guidance were of a high level, and they were very knowledgeable in various fields. The atmosphere, environment, and taste of the dining location were also impeccable.
全てが素晴らしいツアーでした。
マウナケア山頂は雲の上であり、とても美しいサンセットと星空観賞、星空撮影を満喫できました。キラウエアの溶岩が空を赤く照らす現象も山頂から眺められたことに驚きました。
ガイドの説明や案内のレベルも高く、様々な分野にとても詳しい方でした。
食事場所の雰囲気や環境、味も文句なしです。
Thank you for your review. I look forward to seeing you again!
あなたのレビューのためのマハロ。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています!
I participated because I wanted to enjoy the magnificent nature! I wanted to ride a single-person four-wheeler, but it was fully booked, so I joined the five-person Raptor tour instead! It was incredibly fun and exceeded my expectations with its thrilling experience! I believe this tour, which allows you to ride swiftly while overlooking both the ocean and the mountains, is unique to Hawaii. If I have the chance, I definitely want to participate again next time! ☆
壮大な自然を満喫できるということで参加しました!四輪バギー1人乗りをしたかったのですが空いておらず5人乗りのラプターツアーに参加しました!これが想像を超える楽しさで迫力満点で本当に楽しかったです!海と山の両方を見渡しながら颯爽と走るこのツアーはハワイならではだと思います。機会があれば次も是非参加したいと思います☆
