Hawaii
The horse I was riding tended to stop and was quite lazy, but I thought it was cute because horses have their own personalities, haha.
私が乗っていたお馬さん、立ち止まったりと結構サボり気味だったけど、馬にも個性あって可愛いなと思いました笑
The meeting place is quite far from Waikiki, so I recommend allowing plenty of time to get there! Also, the horses do their business while riding, so it's better to wear shoes that you don't mind gett
集合場所ワイキキからだと結構遠いので、時間には余裕もっていくことをお勧めします!
あと、お馬さん乗馬中に普通にうんこするので、汚れてもいい靴履いて行った方がいいです笑
This time, I applied for the Sunrise Tour and the Sunset Tour separately. The Sunset Tour starts in the evening, so there is no cold, and you can see the surrounding environment, which allows you to fully appreciate Mauna Kea Mountain, making the experience even more impressive.
The sunset also offers many opportunities for photography, so there is a lot of freedom.
今回、サンライズツアーとサンセットツアーを別々に申し込みましたが、
サンセットツアーは、夕方から上るので、寒さがなく周りの環境が見えるのでマウナケア山全体が把握できて感動も倍になりました。
サンセットは撮影シーンもたくさん持てるので自由度が高いです。
A fleece is sufficient.
フリース程度で大丈夫です。
My husband and 2 boys had a great time on this trip and will definitely do it again!
We were blessed with good weather, and I was moved as I watched the sea of clouds spread out below and the sun setting. It was very cold, but I was impressed by the stunning view. There was also a Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease. I highly recommend it!
お天気に恵まれ、眼下には雲海が広がり、太陽が沈む光景を感動しながら見ていました。とても寒かったけれど、絶景に感動しました。日本語ガイドさんもいて、安心できました。おすすめです!
I brought a hot pack, and it's very convenient. The summit is unbelievably cold!
ホッカイロを持参しましたが、あると便利です。山頂は信じられないほど、寒いです!
I was initially worried because it was with an English guide, but I felt very reassured and enjoyed it since they also provided guidance in Japanese. The sunset in the world above the clouds, the Milky Way that I saw for the first time, and the starry sky were truly amazing!
英語ガイドとのことで始めは不安でしたが、日本語でも案内していただけてとても安心して楽しめました。
文字通り雲の上の世界の夕焼けと、初めて見る天の川、そして満天の星空は本当に素晴らしかったです!
This title says it all! It was the best view and experience! They lend you ski wear, so it's reassuring! Let's go!
このタイトルに尽きます!
最高の景観と体験でした!スキーウェア貸してくれるので安心です!let's go!
New moon might be recommended⁉️
新月おすすめかも⁉️
Since there were many Japanese people, the guide Shotaro explained everything in Japanese as well, which made me feel at ease participating in the tour. I did feel unwell at the summit, but he offered advice and showed concern, which was reassuring. There were many clouds for part of the journey, and it was said that seeing the stars would be difficult today, but in the end, it cleared up, and I was able to see a sky full of stars. It turned out to be an amazing experience!
日本人が多かったこともあり、ガイドのショウタロウは逐一日本語も交えて説明してくれたので、安心してツアーに参加できました。
山頂で体調を崩してしまいましたが、アドバイスをくれたり、気遣ってくれて、その点も安心できました。
途中までは雲が多く、星を見るのは今日は難しいとのことでしたが、最後には晴れて、満点の星空を見ることができ、最高の体験になりました!
I was able to borrow warm down jacket and pants, but it was still cold, and my head and ears were particularly cold and painful, so it would have been nice to have a knit hat.
暖かいダウン上下は貸してもらえましたが、それでも寒く、特に頭と耳は冷たく痛かったので、ニット帽があると良かったです。
Chris was a great guide - learned a lot about the island beyond the summit and stargazing. Would highly recommend.
The purpose of my trip to the Big Island was simply to see the starry sky! We started with a downpour at the meeting place. During the drive, we were very lucky to see rainbows appearing multiple times, as if it were a blessing from the rain. Our guide, James, continuously explained background information while driving. His kindness in trying to communicate in Japanese using an AI app made me very happy, as he clearly wanted us to enjoy the experience!
Once we entered Mauna Kea, rangers were present at key points to ensure the safety of visitors and showed great respect for the sacred area. I was filled with gratitude for the Hawaiian spirit they shared. Of course, the sunset and starry sky depend on natural conditions, but I believe this tour allows you to feel that whatever situation you experience is the best!
Sending all my MAHALO!
ハワイ島へ行く目的はとにかく星空を見たい!でした。
集合場所でどしゃ降りの雨スタート。
祝福の雨からドライブのあいだ、何度も虹が出現してとてもラッキーでした。
ガイドのJamesは運転しながらずっと予備知識を説明し続けててくれていました。
AIアプリを使って日本語でも伝えようとしてくれる優しさ。楽しんでほしい!という気持ちがとってもうれしかったです。
マウナケアの山に入ってからは要所にレンジャーたちが訪れる人たちの安全を守り、聖域にリスペクトを持って仕事をされていてハワイアンスピリットを贈られた感謝の気持ちでいっぱいでした。
夕陽、星空、ともに自然の条件がいちばんなのはもちろんですが、どのようなシチュエーションであれ自分が経験したことがベスト!と感じられるツアーだと思います。
ありったけのMAHALOを。
Wonderful experience!
すばらしい経験を!
We had a lot of fun and our guide Lindsay was great. The paddle is not difficult and the trail is easy. Waterfall was so awesome!
Aloha Scott,
Wailele, "jumping waters", is the Hawaiian for waterfalls.
Lindsey, is a pro and one of the top guides plying the waters of the Wailua River complex.
Thanks for letting us know that she is still the gold standard.
Keep chasing waterfalls and rainbows.
Thanks for taking the time.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
It was a wonderful experience. At the summit, there were amazing views in every direction, and the way the colors changed as the sun set was incredibly beautiful. The stargazing afterward allowed us to see many stars. There were two tour buses, but both guides were kind and shared various stories, making it a very enjoyable tour.
すばらしい体験でした。山頂では360度どちらを向いてもすばらしい景色が広がり、また陽が沈むにつれて色がどんどん変わる様子はとても美しかった。その後の星空観察もたくさんの星を見ることができました。2台のツアーバスでしたがどちらのガイドの方も親切で、色々なお話をしてくださりとても楽しいツアーでした。
Make sure to breathe slowly. You can rent down coats and pants, so I brought a lightweight down jacket, a long-sleeve shirt, a knit hat, and gloves, but depending on the season, you might need a bit m
ゆっくり呼吸することを心がける。ダウンコートとズボンをレンタルできるので、自身では薄手のダウンジャケットと長袖シャツ、ニット帽と手袋を持っていきましたが季節によってはもう少し寒さ対策が必要かもしれない
On the morning of the day, we arrived at the location while listening to our driver Matthew's enjoyable stories (I only understood about half of it, though) in the pleasant weather. We had a sufficient two hours, and we took our time climbing while taking lots of photos. When we reached the top, we saw a rainbow in the distance. I was moved and truly felt that it was worth coming. As we slowly descended and bought souvenirs, I was happy to receive some water. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
当日朝、心地よい天気の中、ドライバーのマシューさんの楽しいお話を聞きながら(半分くらいしか理解力ありませんでしたが)現地に着きました。2時間という十分な時間があり、写真をたくさん撮りながらゆっくり登っていきました。登り切ったとき、遠くに虹が出ているのが見えました。感動して本当に来て良かったと思いました。ゆっくり降りてお土産買って戻るとお水をいただいて嬉しかったです。素敵な経験をありがとうございました!
The temperature was just right, but I think it will be hot and tough as summer approaches. It's definitely better to have a towel and water on hand.
気温はちょうど良かったですが、これから夏になると暑くて大変かと思います。タオルとお水は必ずあった方が良いと思います。
The guide who came to pick us up was so cheerful that the trip there and back was never boring!
Diamond Head was not as tough as I expected, and I was able to enjoy the scenery while climbing. The view from the top was amazing, and when we came down, the guide was there to pick us up again, making the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable!
Thank you very much.
お迎えに来てくれたガイドさんが陽気すぎて行き帰りが全然退屈では無かったです!
ダイアモンドヘッドは思ったより過酷では無く景色を楽しめながら登れたし頂上の景色は最高でしたし降りたらまたガイドさんがちゃんと迎えに来てくれて全然ストレスなく楽しめました!
ありがとうございました。
It was a pleasant experience. The guide was cute and amazing! I highly recommend it. You can really feel the essence of Hawaii. You should definitely visit Kualoa Ranch.
気持ちの良い体験でした。ガイドさんが可愛くて最高ですね~。お勧めですね~。ハワイらしさを感じます。クアロアランチは行くべきです。
Wastage of time and wastage of money,making people fool that it’s great adventure and enjoyment,simply 90 minutes ride on the truck with two stops,very very disappointed.
Don’t go on this tour
The guide was of Japanese descent and explained important moments in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and able to participate. The starry sky was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Thank you very much.
ガイドの方も日系の方で重要な場面は日本語で説明してくださり 安心して、参加する事ができました。
星空も今まで見た事のないものでした。
ありがとうございました。
It had been a while since I participated, and I noticed that the shuttle, meals, and drink services were no longer available. I suppose it's necessary to keep the price increase in check.
The staff has gotten younger and provided wonderful hospitality, which was very nice.
I caught over ten fish by changing my bait, and the largest triggerfish was filleted for me to take home and eat, which was very delicious.
久しぶりに参加したら送迎、食事、飲み物のサービスは無くなっていた。値上げを抑えるには仕方ないかと。
スタッフは若返っており素晴らしいホスピタリティでとても良かった。
ポイントを変えながら10匹以上釣れ、1番大きかったトリガーフィッシュは3枚におろしてもらえたので持って帰って食べたがとても美味しかった。
This is a wonderful tour that everyone can enjoy, from children to the elderly, and from beginners to enthusiasts. However, please note that no Japanese is understood, and the explanations are only in
子供から年寄り、初心者からマニアまで誰もが楽しめる素晴らしいツアーです。
ただ日本語はまったく通じず説明は英語のみです。
The view of the sea of clouds and the sunset was amazing. Thanks to our very kind and fun guide, it was the best tour! Thank you!
雲海と夕日の景色が最高でした。
とても親切で楽しいガイドさんのおかげで、最高のツアーでした!
ありがとうございました!
The summit of Mauna Kea felt like being on a completely different planet. The sunset and sea of clouds viewed from the top were truly breathtaking.
Additionally, the starry sky was so moving that words can't express it.
I thought there would only be an English guide, but important points like altitude sickness prevention were explained in Japanese as well, which was very helpful. Thank you so much, Shotaro!
マウナケア山の山頂はまるで違う惑星にいる感覚でした。山頂から見た夕陽と雲海は本当に感動的でした。
また、満点の星空も言葉にできないほど感動的でした。
英語ガイドだけと思っていましたが、高山病対策等大事な点は日本語でも説明して頂き、とても助かりました。
しょうたろうさん本当にありがとうございました。
I was glad to meet at least two young Japanese people. The staff were very friendly and tried to understand Japanese. It was a bit of a hassle to input everything in English on the tablet during check-in, but it all worked out in the end. I'm glad I took on the challenge. I don't think I could have this kind of experience anywhere else.
日本人は少なくて2人組の日本の若者とお互い日本人に会えてよかったという感じでした。
でもスタッフの皆さんはすごくフレンドリーで日本語を解ろうとしてくれます。
チェックインの時に全て英語でタブレット入力するので手間取りましたが何とかなるものです。
挑戦してよかった。こんな体験は他では味わえないと思う。
The weather can change quickly, and there will be quite a bit of waiting for sunny intervals, so it's better not to schedule anything else for that day.
天候が変わりやすく晴れ間を待つ時間がかなりあるので、その日は後の予定は入れないほうがいいですよ。
This is an activity that you absolutely must experience when you go to Hawaii.
The driver, local staff, and pilot were all very kind and attentive, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind.
This time, I chose the West Coast plan. While over the ocean, I experienced things that are usually hard to come by, such as rapid ascents, sharp turns, and weightlessness. I experienced this alongside my parents, who are 83 and 80 years old.
The fact that even elderly people can enjoy this proves itself by the smiles on my parents' faces. They were smiling the whole time and had a great time. They even expressed a desire to try piloting next time.
The view of Oahu's natural beauty from above, the colors of the ocean, the sky, and the cityscape were all wonderful. Although we couldn't go into the clouds, we brushed against them a little, making it an unforgettable experience.
Flying a Cessna was on my dream list of 100 things to do, and I'm glad I was able to achieve it.
When I mentioned that I would like to try piloting a helicopter next, I was given a connection to that opportunity as well.
ハワイへ行ったら、絶対に体験して欲しいアクティビティです。
送迎のドライバーさん、現地のスタッフさん、パイロットさん。皆さんがとても親切丁寧で、安心して参加することが出来ます。
今回は、西海岸のプランを選択しました。海の上では、急上昇、急旋回、無重力体験など、通常ではなかなか体験出来ないことを体験させていただきました。83歳と80歳の両親と共に体験しました。
高齢者でも楽しめることは、両親の笑顔を見れば間違いないことを証明します。終始笑顔で、楽しんでいました。また、次は操縦をしてみたいということです。
上空から見るオアフ島の大自然、海の色、空の色、街並みなど、とても素敵でした。また、雲の中には入ることは出来ないとのことですが、少し掠めてくださったり、忘れられない体験となりました。
セスナ操縦は、夢の100リストに入っていて、達成できて良かったです。
次はヘリコプターの操縦体験をしたいことをお伝えしたら、そこにも繋がるご縁をいただきました。
If you're feeling anxious, I think it would be good to prepare some motion sickness medication before you go. Our family was all fine, but for those who are worried.
不安な方は、酔い止めを用意して行かれると良いかと思います。私たち家族は、全員大丈夫でしたが、ご心配の方は。
I couldn't communicate in Japanese, but I had a great time horseback riding even in the heavy rain! The people were very kind, and I felt safe riding. I want to try again on a nice day!
日本語は通じないですが、大雨でも楽しく乗馬ができました!とても優しい方々で、安心して乗れました!天気がいい日にリベンジしたい!
This is my fourth visit, but I brought my family for the first time. Everyone was excited and voiced their joy while enjoying the beautiful scenery during the drive. We had a great time exploring the magnificent views and filming locations. However, all the guidance after departure is in English.
私は4回目の訪問ですが、初めての家族を連れて行きました。運転しながらい凛な景色を見て全員が声を出して喜んでいました。壮大な景色やロケ地を見て回りとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ただ出発後は案内はすべて英語です。
The first place you go has cow dung scattered around. Please watch your step.
最初に行く場所に牛のふんが散乱しています。下を気にして歩いてください。
Thank you for the best time! I definitely recommend visiting the Big Island. Amazing! Our guide Chris was also fantastic!
最高の時間をありがとうございました
是非ハワイ島を訪れたらおすすめします
最高!
ガイドのクリスさんも最高!
The sunset and starry sky from the summit of Mauna Kea were amazing. Although it was supposed to be an English guide, Chris provided guidance in Japanese, and I really appreciated the explanations of the precautions and constellations. Thank you very much.
マウナケア山頂からのサンセットと星空最高でした。
英語ガイドということでしたが、クリスさんが日本語でガイドしてくださり注意事項や星座の説明がとてもありがたかったです。
ありがとうございました。
Since the altitude is high, those who are prone to altitude sickness may need to be cautious.
標高が高いので、高山病の症状が出やすい人は注意が必要かも
I had a lot of fun.
I think it's better to wear clothes that can get dirty.
If I have the chance to go again, I would like to try horseback riding as well.
とても楽しかったです
汚れても大丈夫な服装で行った方がいいと思います
次に行く機会があれば乗馬体験もしてみたいです
None in particular.
特に無し
Jason lead a great trip. Fun info about Hawaii. And great connection with the group. He made the entire adventure fun with many laughs and a exciting ride in the tubes
The bus tour was reassuring because the guide spoke Japanese. In fact, the day before this bus tour, I participated in a tour with another company, but the driver couldn't speak Japanese and provided the guidance in English, which made it difficult for me to understand, so I was a bit disappointed (even though it was a tour aimed at Japanese people).
For this tour with VeLTRA, since there were no other customers, they asked if there were any places I wanted to visit and adjusted the itinerary flexibly.
バスツアーは、日本語が話せるガイドさんだったので安心でした。
実は今回のバスツアーの前日にも他の会社のツアーに参加したのですが、運転手さんが日本語が話せず英語でのガイドだったため理解できなかったため、少し残念でした(日本人向けのツアーでしたが)
VeLTRAさんの今回のツアーは、他にお客さんがいなかったのもあり、行きたいところはないか聞いてくれたり、臨機応変にまわってくださいました。
I participated in the tour as my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. The explanations were easy to understand, incorporating some Japanese, which was very educational. The sunset and starry sky from the summit of Mauna Kea were breathtaking. I definitely want to go again.
初めてのハワイ島ツアーとして参加させていただきました。
日本語も交えたわかりやすい説明で、大変勉強になりました。
マウナケア山頂から見る夕焼けと星空は圧巻でした。
ぜひまた行きたいです。
The whole experience was extremely memorable, from the minute we arrived. Our tour guide, Derrian, was absolutely amazing. Even though it was just my daughter and I on this experience, she provided a lot of history of the ranch, took us to the top where we got to see some amazing views, and gave us the opportunity to gallop with our horses (never done that before). Overall, I would recommend this adventure to all my friends and family that travel to the Big Island. Not only do you get to experience horseback riding, but you also get great service, which is worth the money.
