絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

Half fear, half fun. 怖さと楽しさが半々

Reviewed by: gura

My first skydiving experience. Without much explanation, we had to sign a lot of forms on the bus ride there (^^;)

On the Cessna, a cheerful instructor scared us a bit in English as we climbed to 4,000 meters, and then everyone jumped one after another.

The moment you jump is truly terrifying, but once you're in the air, there's nothing you can do, so you just go with it. The weather was great, and the view of the ocean from above was indescribable.

After it was over, I felt like I wanted to jump again right away; it was such an amazing experience. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to jump again (^_^)

初めてのスカイダイビング。たいした説明もなしに、行きのバスの
中ではたくさんサインさせられます(^^;)

セスナでは、陽気なインストラクターが英語でビビらしながら?
4000mまで行き、そこからはみんなポンポン飛んでいきます。

飛ぶ瞬間は本当に怖いですが、飛んでしまえば、もーどーするこ
ともできないので、あとはなすがまま。天気が良かったので、空
から見る海は何とも言えませんでした。

終わったら、すぐにもう1回飛びたくなるほど、素晴らしい体験が
できました。ハワイに行ったら、また絶対飛びたいです(^_^)

Hawaii Zipline Tours - Big Island Waterfall & Rainforest Zip Adventure

EPIC WAY TO SEE THE JUNGLES AND WATERFALLS OF HAWAII!

Reviewed by: Billy Satterfield

My wife and I did a Zipline in Kauai last year and quickly fell in love with the activity. When we went to the Big Island this year we decided to give it another try and see if it was still as thrilling. You take a 15 minute ride through a farm area on your way to the first zipline and the staff gives you information on the plants in the area; both native and non-native to Hawaii. The opening ziplines they take you on are all about helping you feel comfortable for an activity that most participants haven't experienced before. While hanging from a cable may seem scary to some, we quickly felt safe and confident from the start given the equipment and staff's help. Each zipline is longer and better than the previous one and the last two ziplines are nothing short of sensational and worth the price of admission on their own. For a great experience and an opportunity to see a vantage point of Hawaii and its spectacular waterfalls rarely seen, this series of ziplines is a can't miss!

Kauai Ziplining Tour - Skyline Eco Adventure from Poipu

Zip Line

Reviewed by: Peach

Great couples experience! The staff was experienced and gave thorough directions which made us feel safe. They added humor while giving information on each line and what to expect. At 60 years old, we could have done it longer! Water & safe transportation was provided. EXTRA nice was the amount of pictures that the team took of us which during the day and sold to us at a very reasonable price of $16.00 This was our first time zip lining and it will always be a special memory on our Poipu trip.

ワイピオ渓谷 乗馬ツアー 絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

It felt good. 気持ちよかった

Reviewed by: kois

Being in Waipi'o Valley itself was wonderfully refreshing. It would be tough to walk since you have to cross rivers and navigate bumpy paths, but I don't like cars, so it was a fun experience unique to horseback riding. However, since we were moving slowly and following the person in front of us, it was a bit boring that we couldn't go ahead or run.

ワイピオ渓谷にいること自体がすばらしく気持ちよかった。川を渡ったりでこぼこ道を行ったりするので歩くのは大変だろうけど、車は好きではないので乗馬ならではの楽しい経験でした。ただ、前の人にくっついてゆっくりなので、先に行ったり走ったりができないのでその点はちょっとつまらないです。

Kauai Ziplining Tour - Skyline Eco Adventure from Poipu

Skyline Eco-Adventure

Reviewed by: Mark & Chris from LA

The activity that i was looking forward to the most, on my most recent vacation to Kauai with my girlfriend and two friends of ours last week, was this zipline adventure and it was so much better on many levels than i had imagined. it was my first, my girlfriend's second. this is a top notch crew that operates this gig. they called the day before our outting to remind and verify, checking in was quick and effortless, the entire staff is way cool and the ride from their storefront to the zipline site was a short and scenic 15 minuite ride. once you reach the initial starting point, your two guides (ask for Axel, he's a character) suit you up in your gear and it's a short hike (which is actually the longest of the day) to the first launching platform where they give you a brief zipline 001 tutorial. one guide takes off to the end of the line awaiting your arrival and the other assists and instructs you on how to proceed, and then one at a time you're zippin' down the line high above valleys of lush greenery with unimaginable views from your mountain top to the deep blue ocean miles away. each line is different than the others in height, speed, take off and landing, view, tension, etc. they take lots of pictures that you can view and opt to purchase after. it's worth every penny and if i would have had more time i would have done it twice. so, check it out, you'll dig it too..............

It was my first time in Hawaii, so I signed up for the Haleiwa sightseeing and Dole Plantation tour. The guide was very friendly, making the tour enjoyable. For lunch, the guide took us to eat the recommended shrimp, which was incredibly delicious and had no unpleasant smell at all! It was truly tasty. At the Dole Plantation, the scenery while riding the pineapple train was fantastic. The ice cream was also delicious. The weather was great, making it a perfect day. Thank you very much.

Skyline Eco-Adventure - Kaanapali Zipline Adventure with Expert Local Guides

Super Fun Kaanapali Zipline Adventure

Reviewed by: Mary R.

Awesome experience! Everything was first class and the location was beautiful. Our guides, Matt and Cliff, were amazing and they were super funny, detailed, careful, and made us feel like VIP;s. Our whole group agreed that those two made the whole thing amazing! The views were breathtaking and the weather was perfect. First time ziplining and I would totally recommend it to anybody especially through Veltra. Veltra made booking easy and also had no problem when we wanted to change to a ziplining adventure that was closer to our resort. Matt and Cliff reassured us that our novice level experience would not hinder our perfect vacation and they were completely right. If there is one adventure that cannot go missed while being in Maui, it must be ziplining Kaanapali. Two thumbs way up and look forward to trying all of the other adventures offered by Veltra in the future.

Awesome!

Reviewed by: Amie

First time going to Maui and first time horseback riding. This was so fun! We did quite a few excursions during our 10 day trip and this was definitely my favourite! The guide was awesome, learned a lot, the people are so laid back and easy to talk to, and would definitely go back again. Both myself and my boyfriend has decided to take up horseback riding back home. The scenery during this tour is also incredible!

Skydiving スカイダイビング

Reviewed by: ken

This was my second time skydiving, and perhaps because I felt more at ease than the first time, I enjoyed it even more. I truly believe that skydiving is the best, and the sensation of falling from the sky is exhilarating. I want to go skydiving again when I visit Hawaii.

今回で2回目のスカイダイビングでしたが、1回目より気持ちの余裕があったせいか、1回目より楽しめました。改めてスカイダビングは最高だと思ったし、空から落下してる時の感覚はたまりません。
またハワイに行った時はスカイダイビングをやりたいです。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Had a good time

Reviewed by: Kathy

Seeing the sun set at the top of mauna kea was a once in a lifetime adventure. However dInner wasn't that great - was handed the food to eat at the visitor center -no where to sit and eat and had to balance dinner plate on my lap. This was not what I expected. As well, food was not very good. No drink included. Astronomy lesson after sunset was interesting. Although overall the trip was ok I did not think it was worth the money.

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Galloping across the vast grasslands. 大草原を駈ける

Reviewed by: Yoshi

I participated because I wanted to ride in a wide open space, as the riding club was only within a circle. Since the riding styles were different, both the horses and I were a bit confused at first, but we quickly got used to it and started moving. The horses were calm and well-trained, knowing the route, so they responded well to just a little cue. The feeling of galloping across the vast grasslands was the best!

Before starting, regarding the rental coats, it was more of a "feel free to use them if you want" attitude. The weather was nice, and we were wearing jackets, plus the rental coats weren't very clean, so we intended not to borrow one. However, since many people (we were the only Japanese) were borrowing them, I asked, "Should I wear a coat?" and was told, "It's better to wear one because it's cold." Indeed, once we got out to the grasslands, the wind was very strong, and it was the right decision to borrow a coat.

In Japan, there would likely be polite advice given at the beginning... They were very nice people, but I definitely felt the culture of personal responsibility in America.

乗馬クラブではサークルの中だけなので、広いところで乗馬がしたくて参加しました。
乗馬スタイルが違うので、最初は人間も馬も少し戸惑いましたが、すぐに慣れて動きました。
馬は性格もおとなしくよく馴れていて路も知っているので、少しの合図でよく言うことを聞いてくれます。
大草原を駈ける気分は最高でした!
スタート前に貸出のコートについて「使うんだったらどうぞ」という感じでした。
天気も良く私達は上着を着ていたし、貸出コートもあまりきれいではなく、借りないつもりでしたが多くの人が(日本人は私達だけ)借りていたので「コートは着たほうがいい?」と聞くと「寒いから着たほうがいい」との事でした。確かに草原に出るととても風が強く、コートを借りて正解でした。
日本だったら最初に丁寧なアドバイスがあるだろうに・・・
とても感じの良い人たちでしたが、さすがにアメリカ自己責任の文化を実感しました。

It meets my expectations. 期待通りです

Reviewed by: mkr

I had a pleasant horseback riding experience surrounded by a variety of beautiful scenery, including along the coast, in the bushes, and around the pond. My parents, who are in their 60s, were initially a bit nervous but ended up having a great time. It's a given that the horse will poop or stop to graze along the way. Our guide, Katie, was very kind, and the horses were gentle and well cared for. I highly recommend it!

海岸沿いやブッシュの中、池の周りなどバラエティに富んだ景色の中で気持ちよく乗馬を体験できました。最初はおっかなびっくりだった60代の両親も大変楽しんでいました。途中で馬がフンをしたり道草を食ったりするのはお約束。案内してくれたケイティはとても親切でしたし、馬も穏やかでよく世話されていました。オススメです!

I was moved by everything!! すべてに感動!!

Reviewed by: happa

Watching the sunset and stargazing at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island is something I want to experience at least once in my lifetime, so I made the trip from my usual base in Oahu. Since I was the first to be picked up for the tour, I ended up sitting next to Masakazu Matsuzaki, known as "Macchan." His consistent dedication to service was genuine. I could hear him saying, "Oh, this is fun, fun," as if he was reminding himself, almost like a mantra. I felt it was wonderful how he responded to guests' requests and guided us naturally, with his way of life and work in harmony.

When you have a good guide, not only can you enjoy the night sky, star clusters, and shooting stars with their extensive astronomical knowledge, but the entire group can also share a pleasant time together. During our stop at Onizuka Point for lunch, we joined the Yamachan group, and the banter between Macchan and Yamachan was a highlight. Thanks to them, we also got to see the rare silver sword plant! As we approached the summit, the sea of clouds and the scattered observation telescopes from various countries created a mysterious and almost sci-fi movie-like atmosphere. When the orange sunset sank into the clouds, the show of countless stars began. That emotion is something you have to experience at least once... While personal cameras have limitations in skill and performance, the photos taken by the guides can be downloaded after returning home, and their quality and shot composition brought a second wave of excitement. I truly made wonderful memories. Thank you very much. Next year, I will challenge myself with the "sunrise." Macchan, please keep guiding until then...!

 ハワイ島マウナケア山頂でのサンセット&星空観測、なんて、一生に一度は見たいもの、といつものオアフ島から足をのばしました。 ツアーのピックアップが最初だったから、松崎正君(ただし君とは読まない)、通称”まっちゃん”の横に座ることに...、彼の終始一貫した、サービス精神は本物でした。聞いてましたよ、「ああ楽しい、楽しい」とあれは自分に言い聞かせながらだったのか、呪文のように唱えてましたね。 客の要望に応えたり、又は誘導したり、出すぎることなく、自然体で、生き方と仕事が一致してるのって、いいなあ、と感じました。
良いガイドにあたると、豊富な天文の知識で星空、星団や流れ星を楽しめるだけでなく、ツアー全員も和やかに一つの時間を共有できるのです。 途中の鬼塚ポイントでのお弁当、やまちゃんグループと合流、まっちゃん&やまちゃんのかけ合い漫才も目玉ですよ。 珍しい銀剣草もお蔭で見れました! 頂上が近づくにつれ、雲海や点在する各国の展望鏡など、まるで宇宙SF映画のような不思議な、それでいて神秘的な気分になっていきます。オレンジ色の夕陽が雲海に落ちていくと、満天の星のショーの始まりです。あの感動は一度は味わわないと...個人のカメラでは腕と性能に限りがありますが、ガイドの彼らが撮って下さった写真が帰国後、ダウンロードでき、その出来映えとショットセンスに二度目の感動です。ほんとにいい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。来年は、”サンライズ”に挑戦します。まっちゃん、それまでやめないでガイド続けててね...!

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: cat

I participated on November 6th. The summit at 4200m was very cold, but the sunset with the sea of clouds was wonderful and very moving. I didn't suffer from altitude sickness, and I was lent proper cold-weather gear. They also provided warm drinks along the way, showing great attention to detail, which allowed me to fully enjoy the stunning scenery. One disappointment was that there were too many clouds to observe the starry sky. Still, I was able to take many photos with the full moon in the background and had a great time. I saw people around 60 years old participating energetically, so I think anyone can enjoy this experience.

11/6に参加しました。4200mの山頂はとても寒かったですが、サンセットは雲海がすばらしくとても感動しました。高山病にもならず、しっかりとした防寒具も貸してもらえ、途中暖かい飲料も頂いたりと細やかに気配り頂いたので、とても素晴らしい景色を堪能することができました。ひとつ残念だったのは、雲が多くて星空観測がほとんどできなかった事です。それでもたくさんフルムーンを背景にたくさん写真を撮ったりして楽しめました。60歳前後の方も元気に参加されていたので、どなたでも楽しめると思いました。

Thrilling Haleakala 6-Line Zipline Tour - Skyline Eco Adventure

Fantastic Zipline Experience in Haleakala

Reviewed by: Tianxiong

What a wonderful day to expend about 2.5 hours in Haleakala. The stuff are very friendly. If I spell their names correctly, their names are Shin and Kathy. Shin is a fun guy that talked many jokes in this adventure. Kathy is a girl studying her undergraduate. She is enthusiastic in protecting environment in Maui.

This zipline fun activity does not require any past experience or training. Unlike some zipline that needs you to know some basic stuff like how to slow down using glove or how to handle when you get stuck in the middle of the zipline, here the stuff will take care of everything including landing. What you need to do is to free yourself and just enjoy. It contains five zipline courses and a skywalk bridge. I love the last zipline most. That one is the longest zipline that I have ever tried. Also, it has a great view. The max speed reaches 40 mph, and we go forth and backward multiple times. Shin uses the ladder to help us go down the zipline. That’s really fun!

  • Long long zipline!!!

Lanai Island Guided 4x4 SUV Sightseeing Trekker Tour with Maui to Lanai Ferry

Get Full Information Before Tour

Reviewed by: DAT

Lanai is worth seeing (once) and we are glad we went. We chose this tour because we didn't just want to go snorkling or sit on a beach but wanted to see the whole island. We did not want to drive ourselves and wanted some history. Unfortunately, the tour company booked our full day tour along with another couple's half day tour. Our guide Tony is a really nice person, but as he said, they only call him when the other regular guides are all booked. He struggled to make two different tours work together, and we were the losers. We simply drove to Garden of the Gods, had a brief moment outside the GM four wheel drive suburban (in which my wife and I sat in the far rear seats for the time with the other couple, which was pretty uncomfortable), and then drove back and out to Shipwreck beach. Then Tony dropped us off to buy our lunch in Lanai City while he drove the other couple to the ferry to conclude their half day tour. He picked us up at 1:30 in Lanai City, and we drove around about every street which was sociologically interesting but not much about seeing the island. Then we drove to the old pineapple loading harbor, and down to the residential area around the Four Seasons at the beach. We asked to terminate the tour early and took an earlier ferry back. Tony repeated most of his morning stories in the afternoon. He is a nice guy, a safe driver and grew up on the island so had many personal stories, but not a lot of history outside the personal stories.

Do not take this tour unless the company confirms that they are not booking two conflicting tours together. Try to get the other guides.

We would book it again just because it was one of the highlights of our vacation. A job well done.

I feel like I saw a shooting star. 流れ星が見えた気がします

Reviewed by: こだいら

I participated with a friend. The cold weather gear was sufficient as the reviews said, but my fingertips and toes still got cold.

At the summit, the air was thin, and I was feeling quite high-spirited, but I noticed that the guide was taking the time to remind everyone to be careful. Thanks to that, I didn’t get altitude sickness, which was a relief.

I was looking forward to the starry sky, so I was wondering how the sunset would be. It was probably my first time quietly watching it, and it left a deep impression on me.

There was a man (probably from America) who asked me to take a photo, and he said he had walked for five hours to get there. I felt that this tour is truly appreciated by ordinary people who don’t have such stamina (laughs).

By the time the stars were visible, I felt an indescribable sense of happiness. The wind was cold, but it was a great spot to see the stars, so I managed to endure it. Actually, I had stopped by a restaurant with a planetarium at Haneda Airport, so I was already prepared for the autumn starry sky! When I heard about the first magnitude star of Ursa Minor, I thought, "Oh, that one!" So, I recommend this to those heading from Haneda.

Although my night vision isn’t great, I feel like I saw about five shooting stars. They were visible to the naked eye, which was moving.

For those with a DSLR, it seemed the guide was giving detailed tips on how to take photos, so I’d definitely want to bring one along. As for me, I didn’t have one, so I left it to the guide. In any case, it’s best to leave it to a reliable professional. (Please refer to other people's photos for the starry sky.)

The guides were efficient, and I was satisfied with the photos, food, and conversation. Thank you very much, Macchan and Stefan. It was a wonderful experience that makes me want to go again.

友人と2人で参加しました。
防寒具は口コミ通り十分でしたが、やはり指先と足先は冷えますね。

山頂は空気が薄く、私の場合はテンションがハイになっていましたが、
ガイドさんは合間を見て気を付けることをみなさんに伝えているなと思いました。
おかげで高山病になりませんでした。助かりました。

星空に期待していたので、日の入りはどうかなと思っていましたが、
静かに眺める機会がおそらく初めてだったこともあり、印象深かったです。

写真をお願いと頼んできた男性(おそらくアメリカの)がいたのですが、
5時間かけて歩いて登ってきたのだとか。
そんな体力のない一般の人には、本当にありがたいツアーだなと感じました(笑)

星空が見えるころには何とも言えない幸せな気分でした。
風は冷たかったですが、星がきれいに見えるいい場所なので我慢です。
実は羽田空港で、プラネタリウム付きレストランに立ち寄っていて、
秋の星空の予習済みでした!
こぐま座の1等星と言われて「あれね!」となったので、
羽田から向かう方にはこちらもおすすめです。
夜の目がきかない方ですが、流れ星を5つぐらいは見た気がします。
肉眼で見えるんですね、感動しました。

一眼レフがある方はガイドさんが細かく撮り方のコツを教えていたようですので、
ぜひ持って参加したいですね。
そういう私は持っていませんからガイドさんまかせでしたが。
何にしても信頼できるプロに任せるのが一番ですよね。
(星空の写真は他の方を参考にしてください。)

手際のよいガイドさんたちで、写真もご飯もトークも満足です。
まっちゃんさん、ステファンさん、どうもありがとうございました。
次も行きたいと思える素敵な体験のアシストでした。

An experience from another world. 別世界の体験

Reviewed by: Y-SHI

Climbing a mountain over 4,000 meters like Mount Fuji might seem daunting. However, you can actually drive to the summit of Mauna Kea. It may sound easy to just rent a car, but beyond the Onizuka Center, the road is unpaved and driving becomes quite difficult. Additionally, the oxygen levels decrease, making it dangerous to drive unless you have considerable climbing experience.

This tour reveals a world you've never seen before. While Japanese people refer to it as "goraikou" (the first sunrise), the gradually darkening sunset is exceptional.

After that, stargazing... A clear world unfolds that you can't see in the city.

富士山を超える4000m級の登山というと大変そうだと思われるともいます。
なんとマウナケアは山頂まで車で行けるんです。
じゃレンタカーでと簡単に思ってしまいますが、途中の鬼塚センターから先は舗装されておらず、運転がかなり難しい。且つ酸素が薄くなりますから、よほど登山経験でもないと運転は危険です。
このツアーで見たことのない世界が目の前に広がります。
日本人はご来光といいますが、徐々に暗くなるサンセットは格別です。

またその後の星空観察。。都会では見えないクリアーな世界が広がります。

There are days when you can't see the stars. 星が見れない日もあります

Reviewed by: やすん

My partner and I love stargazing, and we had high hopes of seeing the stars at the world-renowned Mauna Kea! However, since November is the rainy season, we unfortunately encountered completely cloudy skies and were unable to see almost any stars. Since this was the main highlight of our trip to Hawaii, it turned into a disappointing experience afterward. The guide was very nice and seemed well-studied, which left a good impression. Given that we are dealing with nature, it's understandable, but since the participation fee is not cheap, those planning to join during the rainy season from November should be aware that there may be days when you can't see any stars at all.

夫婦で星空が好きで、世界的に名高いマウナケアで星空が見れる!と大きな期待をしていましたが、11月は雨季ということで運悪く完全に曇ってしまい、殆ど星を見ることができませんでした。今回のハワイ旅行のメインだっただけに、その後残念な旅となってしまいました。ガイドの方はとても良い方で、よく勉強されているように見受けられて好印象でした。自然が相手だけに仕方ありませんが、参加費も安くないので、11月からの雨季に参加される方は全く星が見えない日もあることは承知しておいた方がいいですよ。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
We truly cannot do anything about the weather. I feel powerless. I could sense from your message that it must have been a main event of your trip.
I am very sorry. It is tough for the guide as well. If you come to the Big Island again, I would love to guide you, so please choose a time around the new moon for your visit.

弊社のツアーにご参加いただきまして誠にありがとうございました。
天候は本当に何もできません。無力さを感じます。旅行のメインイベントであったろうことは文面より察することができました。
大変申し訳ございません。ガイドもつらいです。次回もしハワイ島にお越しいただけるのであれば、ぜひご案内させていただきますので、
その時は新月のときを選んでお越しくださいませ。

マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー <午後/天体望遠鏡/夕食付/英語ガイド> by ハワイフォレスト&トレイル

Satisfying sunset and stargazing. 満足のサンセット&星空観測

Reviewed by: 部留賀

In October 2014, as usual, the Japanese tour was fully booked, so I joined this one. The guide's English explanations were at native speed, making it hard to understand, but he answered our questions slowly during meals and bathroom breaks.

While the Japanese tour seems to have meals at the Onizuka Visitor Center at an altitude of 2,800 meters to help acclimatize, this tour had meals at a "certain place" at the foot of the mountain. After a brief rest at a scenic spot, we climbed straight to the summit, so those worried about altitude sickness need to stay hydrated. Each person was given a bottle of water during the meal for this purpose.

The views of the various observatories from around the world, the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds, and the subsequent twilight were absolutely stunning. As the sun set, the cold increased, and the warm clothing provided was appreciated. After it got a bit darker, we moved near the Onizuka Visitor Center for stargazing after a bathroom break. Unlike other tours that observed within the center's grounds, we had our stargazing in a less illuminated area by the roadside.

I can't forget the beauty of the starry sky I saw at a ski resort late at night, and this sky, along with the Milky Way, was equally enjoyable. There was also stargazing with a telescope, and although the moonlight can be a nuisance for stargazing, the crescent moon this time allowed for good observation of craters through the telescope, which was actually a plus.

In this tour, out of 16 participants on one bus, only my spouse and I were Japanese. Another bus (which had the same meal location) had only one couple of newlyweds as Japanese participants. I think the Japanese tour is recommended, but this one is also a good tour overall. However, the "certain place" where we had our meal had a simple toilet, so those who are extremely particular about cleanliness should be prepared for that.

2014年10月、例によって日本語ツアーが満杯でこちらに参加。ガイドさんの英語説明はネイティブスピードでほとんどわからないが、食事やトイレ時のこちらからの質問等にはゆっくり答えてくれた。
また日本語のツアーは標高2800メートルのオニズカ・ビジターセンターで食事をしながら標高に体をならしていくようだが、こちらのツアーは麓の「とある場所」で食事をし、その後は見晴しの良いところで少し休憩はあるものの、一気に山頂まで登るため、高山病が心配な人には水分を多く取るような注意が必要だ。そのための水は食事の時に1人1ボトル配布された。
山頂での各国の天文台、雲海に沈む夕日、その後の夕焼けは文句なくすばらしかった。
日が沈むと寒さが増し、貸してくれた防寒具がありがたい。さらにすこし暗くなるとトイレの後、星空観測のためオニズカ・ビジターセンター付近に移動。こちらも他のツアーがセンター敷地内での観測になるのに対し、周りの光がより少ない道路脇の空き地での観測だった。
昔、夜中にスキー場で見た星空の素晴らしさが忘れられないが、それに匹敵する星空と天の川が堪能できた。天体望遠鏡での観測もあったが、星空観測には天敵の月の光も今回の三日月程度なら天体望遠鏡でクレーターがよく観察でき、逆によかった。
今回のツアーはバス1台に16人の参加者中、日本人は我々夫婦2人だけでした。もう1台別のバス(食事だけ同じ場所で)も日本人参加者は1組の新婚さんのご夫婦だけでした。
日本語のツアーの方がおすすめとは思いますが、こちらも総合的に良いツアーです。
ただし、食事をいただいた上記「とある場所」は簡易トイレなので、極端に清潔好きな人はほんの少々ですが覚悟しておいた方がよいでしょう。

A literal canyon horseback riding plan. 言葉通りの渓谷乗馬プラン

Reviewed by: ハワイ2回目

Just thinking that my 82-year-old mother joined this optional tour simply because she loves horses still gives me butterflies. It was truly a canyon horseback riding plan, just as described. We skillfully navigated narrow paths that barely fit the width of the horses. It's an experience I still can't believe. I wonder how we managed to return safely after walking through such a canyon with a beginner like me. We lined up for a full hour, walking slowly, but there were slopes, narrow paths, and curves, and it seemed my mother was scared until the end. She was desperately talking to the horse to keep it moving. Although they never acted up, being natural creatures, they sometimes stopped to eat grass by the side or just halted, which left us unsure of what to do. However, the horses were truly smart and safely carried us on their backs for an hour. I don't think I'll ever have an experience like this again. I highly recommend it to young people.

馬が好きだと言うことだけで82歳の母をこのオプショナルツアーに参加させたと思うと今でもドキドキします。まさに言葉通りの渓谷乗馬プラン。馬の幅も無いような狭い道を上手進みます。今でも信じられない経験です。こんな初心者を乗せてあんな渓谷を歩いてよく無事に帰ってこれたなと思います。1時間たっぷり1列に並んで、ゆっくりゆっくり歩きますが、坂道があったり細い道があったり、カーブがあったり、最後まで母は怖かったみたいです。一生けん命馬に声をかけて乗せてもらっていました。暴れたりすることは決してないのですが、やはり自然の生き物なので、わきの草を食べたり、止まってしまったりするとどうしていいかわからなくなりました。でも本当にお利口な馬たちで、無事に1時間私たちを背中に乗せて歩いてくれました。こんな経験はもうできないと思います。若い人にお勧めです。
