It took about an hour and a half to arrive without getting lost from Waikiki. I was really anxious since it was my first time renting a car and I wasn't used to the navigation system, but I was relieved to find it in such an easy-to-find location. I was about ten minutes late for the meeting time, which pushed past the scheduled start time, but we were able to start horseback riding without any issues. There were no Japanese staff or participants who spoke Japanese, but as long as you know some basic English words, communication wasn't a problem.
The ranch is very spacious, and there are plenty of animals like goats and birds roaming around, which is quite soothing. The horseback riding lasted an hour and a half, and for someone who hasn't ridden in a while, it was a sufficient amount of time to the point where my backside started to hurt. When we reached the top of the mountain, we were able to see the ocean, which was a beautiful spot for photos.
I enjoyed horseback riding at a leisurely pace, and on the way back, we were able to stop by the nearby North Shore. Compared to other optional tours where you have to stick to a schedule with others, this experience allowed us to move at our own pace, making for a day that felt relaxed both in mind and time. If I were to go horseback riding in Hawaii again, I would definitely want to come back here.
ワイキキからレンタカーで1時間半ほどで迷わず到着しました。
初めてのレンタカーでナビにも慣れないままのレンタカーでとても不安だったのですが本当に分かりやすい場所にありホッとしました。
集合時刻に10分ほど遅れて予定開始時刻を過ぎましたが問題なく乗馬を開始できました。
スタッフや他の参加者に日本人や日本語が通じる方はいないのですが、最低限の英単語を知っていれば会話も問題なかったです。
牧場はとても広く、ヤギや鳥など動物もたくさん放牧されていて癒されます。
1時間半の乗馬でしたが久々に乗馬をしたわたしはお尻が痛くなるほどの十分な時間の乗馬でした。
山の頂上へ行くと海が見えるとてもきれいな場所で写真も撮って頂けました。
時間たっぷり乗馬を楽しめ、帰りは近くのノースショアへ立ち寄ることができ、他の方と行動を共にするオプショナルツアーよりこちらの方が自分たちのペースでゆっくり自由に行動ができ、心にも時間にも余裕のあった1日でした。
ハワイで乗馬をするならまたここでしたいです。

We took our time climbing the mountain by eating donuts and stopping by souvenir shops. Since there’s not much walking involved, it’s quite easy. They will take you to a spot where you can leisurely enjoy the sunset and starlit sky. The sunset sinking into the great outdoors was sparkling and very beautiful. The changing colors of the sky were also lovely. You can borrow a warm jacket and a blanket, but it gets quite cold at night, so I think it’s a good idea to prepare a little on your own as well.
ドーナツを食べたり、お土産屋さんに寄ったりして、ゆっくり山に登って行きました。ほとんど歩くことはないので、楽です。夕日・星空をゆったり鑑賞できる場所に移動してくれます。大自然の中に沈んでいく夕日は、キラキラしてとても奇麗でした。刻一刻と変わっていく空の色も素敵です。防寒ジャケットや膝掛けは貸してもらえますが、夜はかなり冷えるので自分でも多少準備をしておくと安心と思います。

Seeing the ocean, mountains, and city from above is the best moment. I think it's a different experience of Hawaii compared to being on the ground. The people who flew with us were so lively and made sure we didn't feel nervous, so we flew smoothly without any fear. The moment we took off felt like, "Go! Go! Go!"
However, one of the people who flew with us was very enthusiastic about providing service, and after the parachute opened, they spun us around, which made me feel a bit dizzy (laughs). The thrill of soaring into the sky and the moment of being released is a wonderful time to fully enjoy the scenery of Hawaii.
上空から見る、海・山・街、最高な瞬間です。地上のハワイとまた違うハワイのひと時だと思います。いっしょに飛んでいただいた方達も、我々に緊張させまいと終始ノリノリで、恐怖感もなくすんなり飛べました。飛んだ瞬間は、Go!Go!Go!てな感じでしょうか。
但し、いっしょに飛んでいただいた方がサービス精神が旺盛で、パラシュートが開いた後、グリングリン回ってくれるので、ちょっと酔いそうになりましたが(笑)。
空へ舞い上がるドキドキ感と、解き放たれた瞬間、おおいにハワイの景色を堪能出きる時間ですよ。

The deep blue sky before sunset, the colors of the earth at the summit, the sea of clouds dyed by the setting sun, the Milky Way and the starry sky, and the large moon clearly visible. Everything was a sight I had never seen before.
I was worried about altitude sickness, but thanks to the guide's advice, I was able to head up with peace of mind. I felt a bit unsteady at the summit, but sitting on the stone steps and taking deep breaths quickly made me feel better. The view and weather from the visitor center were completely different from those at the summit, so I’m really glad I chose the tour that went all the way up.
I truly appreciated the benefit of downloading photos when I got back. Many of the photos I took myself didn’t turn out great... I’m happy to receive photos that captured the scenery of that day perfectly. They also took many fun composition shots.
Thank you so much to our guide, Macchan, for making us laugh! It was great to hear stories about the Big Island along the way. I was impressed by your wide knowledge and thoughtfulness.
The two-shot photo with the starry sky taken by Kon-chan became the best memory of this trip. I plan to print it out and display it.
Thank you both for a wonderful time!
If I get the chance to go to the Big Island again, I will definitely use Masashi's tour!
日が暮れる前の濃い青の空、頂上の大地の色、夕陽に染まる一面の雲海、天の川と満天の星空、くっきりと見える大きな月。すべてが初めての光景でした。

頂上ではふらつきなどがありましたが、石段に座って深呼吸をしているとすぐに良くなりました。

Things I wanted to see on the Big Island: Nature Point on the east side, Kilauea Volcano, and sunset & stargazing from Mauna Kea. I considered doing a combined tour of Kilauea and Mauna Kea, but due to travel time and some places being inaccessible, I decided to join separate tours.
In the end, it was a great success and I was very satisfied. We left in the afternoon, took our time acclimating by having a meal at the mid-level, and then headed to the summit. I only brought a lightweight down jacket and an outdoor jacket. They lent me ski wear, a hat, and gloves, so I was able to enjoy the sunset at the summit without shivering from the cold and had a wonderful view of the starry sky! There were so many stars that I didn't even know where to look.
That day was Tanabata. In Japan, it often rains or is cloudy on this day, but we had a clear view of the Milky Way. I was given instructions on how to take photos that looked like composites, and the results turned out great! The tour staff helped set up my camera for beautiful shots, and I ended up with lovely photos. Of course, you can also take wonderful pictures with your smartphone.
In addition to bottled water, they provided warm miso soup and drinks during the meal, which was nice. I was really lucky with the weather. I’m grateful that my number one thing I wanted to do on the Big Island turned out to be such a wonderful day, along with the attentive service and the entertaining guide! I'm glad I made the reservation in advance, as the tour was fully booked.
ハワイ島で見たかったもの。
東側のネイチャーポイント、キラウエア火山、マウナケアからのサンセット&星空観測。
欲張りにセットでキラウエア&マウナケアとなんていうのも考えましたが、所用時間や行けない場所も出てくることから分けてツアー参加しました。
結果、大成功、大満足。
午後ゆっくり出発して中腹で食事をとったりして時間をかけて体を慣らし、山頂へ。
持参したのは薄手のダウンやアウトドアジャケットだけ。
スキーウエア上下、帽子、手袋を貸してもらえたので山頂でも寒さに震えることなくゆっくりサンセットを楽しみ、素敵な満天の星を眺めることができました!
星がいっぱい過ぎてどこ見ていいかわからないぐらい。
この日は七夕。日本だと雨や曇りの多いこの日ですがくっきりミルキーウエイ。
合成写真かと思うほどの
写真もこんな風にしてみてとご指示?をいただきどんな写真になるのかと思ったらこんな感じです!ツアースタッフがきれいに撮れる設定をちょちょいとしてくれたりしてマイカメラにも素敵な写真が残りました。もちろんスマホでも十分素敵な写真撮れます。
ペットボトルのお水の他、食事の際には温かいお味噌汁やドリンクが用意されていたのも良かったです。
天候に恵まれたのは本当にラッキーでした。ハワイ島でやりたかったことのナンバー1がこんなに素敵な日であったことと、行き届いたサービス、面白ガイドさんに感謝です!
申し込みは前もってしていって良かったです。満席でした。

My first time on a zip line. I participated with my wife, and it was so much fun. At first, I was nervous, but once you slide once, you quickly get used to it. Our group consisted of eight foreigners and the two of us, totaling ten people. The oldest participants were probably a couple in their 70s, which was quite surprising. However, we all managed to enjoy the zip tour together safely. The guides explained everything in English, so I didn't understand everything, but it wasn't a problem as I could follow along by watching their gestures. Along the zip line, there were places to drink water and enjoy natural nuts, as well as snacks like tomatoes and apple bananas, adding a bit of a walking atmosphere to the experience. One of the guides was called "Captain," and he really livened up the tour. If you go next time, try to find that Captain. If you meet him and say "いっぱいたのしい" (it's so much fun) in Japanese, I think you'll become friends right away. I plan to participate again if I have the chance.
生まれて初めてのZIPLine。妻と二人で参加しましたが、とっても楽しかったです。最初は緊張しますが、1回滑ればすぐに慣れます。私らの組は、外国人の方8名と私たちの10名でした。最高年齢は、たぶん70代の老夫婦の方で、こちらの方が、もうビックリでした。でも無事、皆で楽しくZIPツアーを体験することができました。ガイドは全員が英語で説明されるので、内容はよく分かりませんが、身振りを見ていれば問題ありません。ZIPLineの途中で、水を飲める場所や自然のナッツを食べれたり、トマトやアップルバナナをつまめるなど、ちょっとした散歩的な雰囲気も味うことができます。ガイドさんの中に「隊長」と言われる方いて、ツアーを盛り上げてくれました。今度行かれる方は、その隊長を探してみてください。隊長と逢えたら「いっぱいたのしい」と日本語で言えば、直ぐに仲良くなると思います。また機会があれば、参加しようと思っております。

The morning pickup was on time at the hotel, which was very reassuring!
There was a video explanation in the car, and once we arrived, there was an explanation in English!
We stored our luggage in lockers and waited!
When my name was called, I met my instructor! I listened to explanations about various equipment and how to jump while waiting for the helicopter!
The weather was great, and we were able to fly right away, which was really lucky!
The instructor was very kind, and since I had requested video and photos from a different person, they took various videos and photos with my friends while we waited!
When it was time to get on the helicopter, I was nervous, but the instructor was so nice that I felt at ease flying!
During the flight, they took a lot of videos and photos, and I was very satisfied!
After returning, the footage and photos were displayed on a monitor for us to review and purchase!
I definitely think you should do at least one of these activities! I recommend it!
Personally, I recommend the video recording! It captures more than photos, and although it's more expensive, it becomes a lifelong memory!
The price for the video and photos from a different person was $230!
I was able to give a heartfelt tip!
I put $20 each in the box for the cameraman and the instructor!
In the end, we arrived back at the hotel around 10:00!
It was really quick, and I felt lucky!

I hate crowded clubs, but still wanted to go out for a few drinks and meet some new people. This turned out to be an awesome way to do it. The bar stops are all top-notch choices, and the kind of places only locals really know about. If you think you might want to try drinking craft beer in a WWII museum or sucking soju out of a watermelon in a Korean karaoke pub, all while mingling with total strangers on an outrageous bike trek around Honolulu, this is definitely, without a doubt, the tour for you.

We chose the strenuous Na Pali coast hike and waterfall swim (to hanakapi'ai beach and falls) and we were definitely not let down--- the views were incredible, we got to swim by the waterfall and also along beach to a nearby cave. Our guide (Sage) was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly at home on this trail. His presence helped boost our confidence on this gorgeous but definitely not easy hike. We would recommend to any of our friends wanting to explore the Na Pali coast that this guided hike would be the way to go. We left early enough that we had the trail to ourselves for most of the time, and we learned far more than we would have if we'd gone by ourselves.

This time, we had made a reservation for a family of four, but only one reservation was found. Since it wasn't specified whether the meeting place was the lower lobby or the main lobby, I asked the person at the tour desk, and that’s how I found out. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t checked in advance. It was a bit surprising. The optional content was good, so it's a shame. However, I do think that people who are proficient in English will enjoy it more.

I participated with my husband after being recommended by a community on Facebook that loves the Big Island of Hawaii. Our guide was "Matsucchan," who looked great in a knit hat. On the day of the tour, I was a bit worried because it started to drizzle under a cloudy sky, but the guide's expertise was evident!
Working in tandem with another guide, Konno, we persevered and moved locations as needed to find the best spots, allowing us to enjoy both the sunset and the starry sky. It was said that the following day would feature a meteor shower (I forgot the name of it), so visibility was a bit challenging, but we had a clear view of the moon through a reflecting telescope (which can be tracked via GPS), and with the careful explanations using a laser pointer, we learned about the constellations and their history.
What impressed me the most was their ability to not miss any photo opportunities! They managed all the positions, so I felt completely at ease.
Additionally, there’s a follow-up story: during the tour, my husband lost his favorite sunglasses and was feeling down the next day. However, when we inquired about it on a whim, they found them on the bus and delivered them during that day's tour. I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude once again. Thank you, Matsucchan, for the wonderful memories and the follow-up! (≧▽≦)
FaceBookのハワイ島好きコミュニティで勧められたこともあり、夫と二人で参加しました。
ガイドはニット帽がよく似合う"松っちゃん"。
当日は途中から霧雨の曇り空で大丈夫かなーと思ってたんですが、週5回上っている眼力は確かです!
もう1グループのガイドで相方のkonnoさんと連携して、粘りながら時には場所を移動しながら、ポイントを探し出して、サンセットも星空もしっかり観ることができました。
星空はナントカ流星群(聞いたのに忘れました;)が飛び交った翌日らしいので、ちょっと見えづらい感じでしたが、月は反射望遠鏡(GPSで追えるらしいです)でバッチリ見えたし、レーザーポインターを使っての丁寧な説明で、見えた星から星座の配置図とか歴史とかも知ることができました。
もっとも感心したのはシャッターチャンスとポイントを外さないこと!
立ち位置も全部仕切ってくれるので、任せておけば安心でした。
あと後日談がありまして、ツアー中に夫がお気に入りのサングラスを失くしてしまい、翌日半日ションボリしていたのですが、ダメモトで問い合わせたら、バスの中で見つけてその日のツアーの流れで届けてくれました。
この場を借りて、もう一度お礼が言いたいです。
松っちゃん、楽しい思い出とアフターフォローをありがとうございました(≧▽≦)

The tattooed, impressive captain speaks just a little Japanese. It can be tough if you don't have basic conversational skills. The catch was less than expected—only 3 fish out of 10 people. Since the fish aren't brought up onto the boat, there's no risk of being bitten. The rods are left down, so I felt a bit restless... The night view is beautiful. It's a rare experience.

I rode a horse for an hour and a half in the great outdoors of Waipi'o Valley. I truly enjoyed it. However, I believe that a certain level of intermediate English proficiency is absolutely necessary for this tour, as you need to understand natural-speed English and be able to express yourself clearly in English.
I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes early and wasn't sure where the check-in area was, so I asked in English if check-in was necessary, but the answer was NO. Just before the time, I asked another Japanese tour participant, who told me that the check-in was done at the back, so I hurried to complete the process. Then, I was scolded for being too slow in English.
Up until a certain point after the tour started, everything was going well and I was having fun, but my wife's horse got startled and began to act up after bumping into the horse behind it, causing a rodeo-like situation, and my wife was almost in tears. Even then, she was reprimanded for her riding style.
I think it's a tour that potential participants should consider the risk that even an amateur riding normally could lead to a horse acting up. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour, my wife felt very scared and uncomfortable. I wish she could have expressed in English that it wasn't her fault when the horse started acting up...
If nothing happens, you can enjoy it by following along, but I want everyone to be aware of the risks mentioned. The only time we received a smile was when they were accepting tips...
ワイピオ渓谷の大自然の中を馬に乗って、1時間半。本当に堪能させてもらいました。
が、このツアーはナチュラルスピードの英語が聞き取れ、しっかりと英語で意思表示できるくらいの中級英語力は絶対必要なツアーだと思いました。
30分前に集合場所に到着し、受付場所がよくわからないのでチェックインは必要なのか?頑張って英語で聞いたところ、NO。時間ギリギリで別の日本人ツアー参加者に聞いたところ、奥で手続しましたと言われ慌てて手続き。すると、英語であまりにも遅いとケンカ腰でまくしたてられました。
ツアーが始まってから途中までは何事もなく、楽しく過ごしていたのですが、妻の馬が後ろの馬にぶつかられて驚き暴れだしてロデオ状態になり、妻は半泣き状態になりましたが、ここでも妻の乗り方が悪いと叱責する始末。
素人が普通に乗って馬が暴れるようなリスクが一定の可能性であることも、頭に入れて申込みを検討された方がいいと思うツアーです。
ツアーの内容自体は大満足でしたが、妻はとても怖く、不快な思いをしました。せめて馬が暴れだしたのは自分のせいじゃないとしっかり英語で話せたらとも…

Thank you very much for participating in the horseback riding experience. However, I sincerely apologize for the discomfort caused by the staff's handling on the day of your visit.
While I hope you enjoyed horseback riding in the great outdoors, I can understand that you may have felt anxious when the horse suddenly became agitated. Please rest assured that the horses used for riding are well-trained, and our experienced staff will assess the situation and respond accordingly.
As this activity is conducted in English only, I understand that communication may have been challenging. However, we will continue to work with the local operating company to improve our services so that as many people as possible can enjoy horseback riding with peace of mind.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

乗馬いただく馬は調教されており、 経験豊富なスタッフが状況を判断して対応いたしますのでご安心ください。
こちらのアクティビティは英語のみの催行となりますためコミュニケーションが難しく感じることもあるとは思いますが、一人でも多くの方に安心して乗馬を楽しんでいただけるよう、現地催行会社と共に、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

I participated in the Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Reflecting Telescope by Masashi Nature School. The tour had only Japanese participants, totaling nine people, and we traveled in a box car. Our tour guide was a Japanese man named Jin, who graduated from the University of Hawaii and conducted research on volcanoes locally. He shared interesting stories about Hawaii's volcanoes, flora and fauna, and daily life during the drive, so we were never bored in the car.
First, we stopped at a spot with a 360-degree view of the lava landscape for a commemorative photo. The guide actively took pictures for everyone with their cameras, which was very helpful. Next, we had a bento lunch at a relay point at the observatory. I had imagined it would be something simpler, but it was a substantial bento that even included miso soup. After eating, we were provided with warm clothing (thick coveralls, gloves, and knit hats) and headed to the summit. I hadn’t brought much warm clothing to hot Hawaii, but honestly, the provided gear was sufficient, and I was fine with just long-sleeved underwear. I was also concerned about altitude sickness, but thanks to the guide's advice on breathing techniques and care, I had no issues. The sunset and stargazing afterward were incredibly beautiful, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand. I’m really glad I participated, so I highly recommend it!
マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー<反射望遠鏡> by マサシネイチャースクールに参加しました。ツアー参加者は日本人ばかりで全員で9名の参加で、1BOXカーで移動しました。ツアーガイドはハワイ大学を出られて現地で火山の研究をされていたJINさんという日本人の方で移動中もハワイの火山の話から動植物の話、日常のお話など面白おかしく話していただいて移動中の車の中でも全く退屈することはありませんでした。初めに360度溶岩の風景の箇所に下りて記念撮影。ガイドさんが積極的に皆のカメラで写真と取っていただいたのも助かりました。続いて、天体観測所の中継地点にてお弁当で腹ごしらえ。もっと簡素なものかと想像していましたがしっかりとしたお弁当で、お味噌汁もついていました。食後は防寒着(厚手のつなぎ、手袋、ニット帽)を貸していただきいざ山頂へ。暑いハワイであまり防寒着を持ってきていなかったですが、正直用意されているものだけで、後は長袖の下着のみでOKですので、長ズボン、ジャケットなどはなくても私は大丈夫でした。高山病の心配もしていましたがガイドさんからの呼吸法などのアドバイスや気遣いもあり問題ありませんでした。その後の日没、星空もとてもきれいでまたガイドさんの説明もわかりやすくて参加して本当に良かったですので、是非おススメです!!

There are fewer Japanese speakers, and most of the explanations are in English, but that's great! I can't speak English, but the staff is friendly, and the international participants are wonderful. I'm a bit anxious about the pickup always taking more than 30 minutes, but since it's Hawaii time, it doesn't bother me. The scenery is amazing! Even with a little rain, it's still fantastic! My friend, who was scared at first, mastered the backward leg lift by the end! They were shouting "Always climb!" during our stay in Hawaii.
日本の方が少なく、ほとんどの説明が英語ですが、それがいい!
英語は話せませんが、スタッフがフレンドリーに接してくれるし、参加者の海外の方も、最高です。ピックアップが、いつも30分以上、待たないといけないのが不安になります。ハワイタイムなので気になりませんが。
景色も最高!少し雨が降っても最高!怖がっていた友人も最後は後ろ向きの足上げをマスター!
Always climb!とハワイ滞在中叫んでいました。
