良い仕事 good job

Reviewed by: yasuo

When the time for the pickup arrived, an American got out of the car. Before saying "HELLO," he spoke fluent Japanese, saying, "Your husband is in the passenger seat." That's right, Stefan is a Samurai Blue born in Japan.

The day before, the name of the hotel was different from the reservation, which was a yellow card. I informed them about my leg issues. "I'll let the driver know," came the cheerful response. America is friendly to people with disabilities. Compared to that, Japan is a bit disappointing.

After finishing the pickups at each hotel, we headed to the Onizuka Visitor Center. It took about two hours, but with Stefan's lively chatter, we arrived in no time. We received drinks, miso soup, and a bento box. The person in charge of distribution was Matsuzaki-san, who spoke in a strange Osaka dialect. I finished my meal while glancing at the bento boxes from other tours. It was delicious.

After that, we geared up completely with ski pants, warm clothing, hats, and gloves to head to the summit. By the way, only Nature School lends out ski pants.

We switched from 2WD to 4WD and headed onto Saddle Road. The natural massage made my legs feel lighter, maybe? We stopped along the way for photos.

Finally, the long-awaited Subaru Telescope came into view. Excited, I went outside. It was cold. We took commemorative photos with the Subaru Telescope in the background. Stefan. (I wish he had told me my hat was a bit askew.) (Why is it that the Matsuzaki team is holding a banner and taking commemorative photos?)

The sky changed moment by moment, creating a romantic sunset. It quickly became pitch dark after sunset. We decided to descend within 30 minutes.

We did some stargazing around 3,900 meters. Familiar constellations like the Big Dipper, Polaris, and Scorpius were visible. There were so many stars that I got confused. I also saw the Southern Cross. I was disappointed in my own knowledge, thinking it could only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. I saw Saturn's rings through a telescope. A cup of tea for a break.

Back to the Onizuka Visitor Center. Bathroom break. You must not sleep in the car on the round trip to the summit. If you sleep, you'll get altitude sickness.

On the way back to the hotel, I could have slept. But I couldn't because Stefan's Kamakura stories were so interesting. We arrived at the hotel after 11 PM.

It was long, but it was a valuable experience. (If I were younger, I would have jumped at the summit.)

Good job, Stefan. Go Samurai Blue in the World Cup! I'll cheer together with you.

当日ピックアップの時刻になり、車から降りてきたのはアメリカ人。「HELLO」と言う前に「旦那さんは助手席に」ペラペラな日本語。そうステファンは、日本生まれのサムライブルー。
 前日、ステイホテル名が予約と違っていて、イエローカード。足が悪いことを伝える。「担当ドライバーに伝えておきます。」と明るい声。アメリカは障害者に優しい。それと比べると日本はトホホ。
 各ホテルのピックアップを終了し、向かうは、オニズカ・ビジターセンター。2時間位かかったが、ステファンの軽快なおしゃべりで、あっと言う間に到着。飲み物と味噌汁と弁当をもらう。配布責任者は、妙な大阪弁のマツザキさん。他のツアーの弁当を横目で見ながら完食。美味しかった。
 その後、スキーパンツ、防寒着、帽子、手袋の完全装備で山頂へ。因みに、スキーパンツまで貸してくれるのは、ネイチャースクールさんだけとの事。
 2駆から4駆に切り替えサドルロードへ。自然のマッサージで、足が軽くなったかな?
途中で写真撮影。
 やっと待望のスバル天文台が見えてきた。心弾ませ外へ。寒い。スバル天文台をバックに
記念撮影。ステファン。(ちょっと帽子がずれていると言ってくれれば良かったのに)(何故だ。マツザキチームは横断幕を持って、記念写真を撮っているのに)
刻々と大空が変化し、ロマンチックなサンセット。日没後は直ぐ真っ暗に。30分以内に下山が決まり事。
 3900m付近で天体観測。北斗七星、北極星、さそり座等の日本でおなじみの星座。見えすぎてわからなくなった。南十字星も見た。南半球でしか見えないと思っていた自分の知識のなさにがっかり。土星のリングは天体望遠鏡で。紅茶で一服。
 オニズカ・ビジターセンターへ。トイレ休憩。山頂までの往復の車中で、寝てはいけません。寝ると高山病になります。
 ホテルへの帰りは寝れます。でも寝れませんでした。ステファンの鎌倉物語が面白くて。11時過ぎにホテル到着。
 長かったけど貴重な体験だった。(若かったら山頂で、跳んでいただろう。)
 GOOD JOB ステファン。W杯 サムライブルー 頑張れ。一緒に応援します。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day. I should have mentioned the knit hat when taking the photo with the Subaru telescope in the background. (But it was a very lovely photo.) It seems that Stefan is still enjoying soccer on his days off. I'm sure he is looking forward to the World Cup as well. If you have the opportunity, please consider using our tours again. Stefan, Matsuzaki, and all the staff are sincerely looking forward to seeing you again.

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>

The first and last challenge! 最初で最後の挑戦!

Reviewed by: ハネムナー

I took the plunge and tried it! It was amazing…! It was full of thrills. I'm glad I experienced it! I have no regrets. I felt nauseous once I was back on the ground, and since I’m satisfied with this experience, I won’t do it again. However, I highly recommend it to those who are interested. Just be aware that it can take a toll on your body, and I needed to rest at the hotel until the afternoon, so it's best for those without plans. Everyone else seemed fine.

思いきってトライ!すごかった…!
スリル満点でした。経験してよかった!悔いはありません。私は地上に降りたら気持ち悪くなってしまったのと、今回で満足したので二度とやりませんが、気になっている方には強くおすすめします。ただし、身体へのダメージも大きく、午後になるまでホテルで休憩が必要だったので予定がない方が安心です。みなさんは平気そうでした。

The challenge of my 85-year-old grandmother. 85歳 祖母の挑戦

Reviewed by: yuzunaka

I had my grandmother, who has always wanted to ride a horse at least once, experience it. There were about ten people from overseas, and at first, she seemed quite anxious, but it seems her dream came true, which was great. She mentioned that she was a bit sore for a few days after getting off the horse.

一度でいいから馬に乗りたい!という祖母に体験してもらいました。10名程度の海外の方が一緒で最初は不安が強かったようですが夢かない良かったようです。馬を降りてしばらく数日筋肉痛?だったようですが。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

My long-held wish has come true. 念願がかないました

Reviewed by: OTSUKA

Since my first visit to Maui for the millennium in 1999, I have returned four times over 14 years, and this time I finally made it to Haleakalā. Thinking it might be my last chance, I joined a tour. Maui is a healing island, and I spent my days relaxing, but at the summit of Haleakalā, I experienced not only its beauty but also the harshness of nature. The crater visible through the clearing mist and the clouds dyed in crimson were truly moving.

The paved road goes up to 3,000 meters, allowing even the elderly to reach the summit without having to walk, which is reassuring. I was also impressed by the well-maintained restrooms.

The starry sky was absolutely stunning. It was like a natural planetarium, with a sky full of stars! It was my first experience of this kind. The constellations were clearly visible, and I was able to see the Milky Way through a telescope, which was amazing. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to see it from the summit.

Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for your assistance.

Parents always worry about their children, no matter how old they are. The best way to show filial piety is to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Thank you very much.

1999年ミレニアムをマウイでと初めて訪れてから14年4回目で念願のハレアカラ
最後のチャンスと思いツアーに参加しました。
マウイは癒しの島、毎日のんびりと過ごしていましたが、ハレアカラ山頂では美しさもさることながら大自然の厳しさも体験しました。

Thank you for your hard work over a long time! The star observation locations will change based on wind, temperature, and other factors. Ideally, we want a high location, but if it's too cold or windy, we won't be able to enjoy the night sky for long. From my 12 years of experience, I will guide you to the best spots. Please come to see the stars again! I look forward to our reunion.

長い時間お疲れ様でした!星の観測場所は風、温度、などで変更して行きます。出来るだけ高い場所が良いのですが、あまり寒いのと風が強いと
星空が長くゆっくり見れないので、ベストの場所を12年の経験からご案内致します。また是非星空を見に来てくださいね!再会を楽しみにしています。

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

It's completely different from last time. 前回とは大違い

Reviewed by: キャンデイ

There were a total of five of us, including myself. The weather was cloudy, and it rained partway through. Last time (about five years ago), the guide was cheerful and prepared photo spots for us. This time, there was no such consideration, and it felt like we just walked around and that was it. I don't know if it was the guide's personality or the company's policy, but I was very disappointed.

 私ども入れて全部で5人で参加でした。天候も曇り空で途中雨も降りました。前回(5年前ぐらい)はガイドさんも明るく写真スポットも用意してくれました。今回は、そのような配慮もなく散歩してお終いでした。ガイドの性か会社の方針かしれませんが、非常にがっかりしました。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

If you're unsure, definitely go for this! 迷っているなら、絶対これ!

Reviewed by: yoriko

For our honeymoon, we wanted to do some stargazing, so we decided to go to Maui. I was torn between whether to do sunset or sunrise stargazing... I struggled with that decision. I also debated whether to choose an option from the travel agency or look for another tour. I kept worrying about it until the last minute.

In the end, choosing the tour from Maui All Stars was definitely the right decision! It became the best memory of our trip, and it’s a goal for us to come back again! Since the tour is affected by the weather, I honestly can’t say what it would be like on a less fortunate day, but I can say for sure that with our guide, Yamapi, we were in good hands no matter the situation. You’ll understand once you participate (laughs).

From the moment we started moving, it was fun, and because it was a small group, it felt very homey. Yamapi naturally facilitated communication with thoughtful care to create that atmosphere. Since there was interaction among participants, we were able to share the wonderful scenery with new friends, which doubled the excitement. We also made some lovely connections.

As for the tour, I usually get car sick even with medication, and my husband is prone to altitude sickness, but we had no issues at all! We were constantly excited by the changing scenery from the car. At each stop, the guide provided insights that made us go "I see!" and we had memorable photo sessions filled with laughter. The sunset was breathtaking. It was something you can't fully capture in photos; you have to experience it with all your senses.

And then for stargazing. Just watching the stars was satisfying, but this tour offered so much more, and we learned a lot. It’s enjoyable for everyone, including children and elderly people, so we’d love to bring our family along next time. The price is slightly higher than others, but once you participate, the difference in value is clear. I highly recommend it for first-timers.

I can see why there are so many repeat customers. Both Alan and Maui All Stars provided quick and courteous service. It’s a reliable tour, and once you experience it, you’ll definitely understand its value.

新婚旅行で星空観測がしたくて、行き先をマウイへ。星空観察はサンセット、サンライズのどちらと一緒にしようか、、、で悩み。
サンセットにするも、旅行会社のオプションか他のツアーから探すかで悩み。
ぎりぎりまでとにかく悩む悩む。
でも、結果はマウイオールスターズさんのツアーで大正解!!
旅行中で一番の思い出となり、また絶対にこようね!って目標にも。
ツアー内容的に天候に左右されてしまうので、正直、天候に恵まれた私達は恵まれない日がどんなものかはわかりません。
ただ、確実に言えるのはどんな状況でもガイドをしてくださる"ヤマピーさんなら大丈夫"ということ。とにかく参加したらわかります(笑)
移動中から楽しくて、少人数だからアットホーム。そんな雰囲気になるようにコミュニケーションの橋渡しを細やかな気遣いで自然にヤマピーさんしてくれます。
参加者同士の交流があるから、素晴らしい景色を共有できる仲間が増えて感動は倍増ですよ。素敵なご縁もできました。

ツアーは、いつもなら薬飲んでも車酔いが酷い私も、高山病に掛かりやすい旦那も問題なし!
車から変わっていく景色にテンションあがりっぱなし。各地点のガイドでは"なるほど"と唸ったり、ぎゃははと爆笑する思い出の写真撮影をしてくれます。
サンセットは圧巻。写真では伝えられないものを五感で感じます。
そして星空観察。観るだけでも満足ですが、それ以上のものをこのツアーは体験し、多くを学びます。お子様でも、ご高齢の方でも安心して楽しめるので、私達も家族を連れて次回は参加したいですね。
料金が他よりはわずかに高いですが、参加すればその価値の違いは一目瞭然。初めて行く方、おすすめです。
リピーターさんが多いのもよくわかります。
そして、このAlanさんも、マウイオールスターズさんも、どちらも対応が迅速、かつ丁寧です。
信頼できるツアー、体験したら絶対に意味がわかるはずです。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

It was beautiful! 美しかった!

Reviewed by: よりさん

One of the reasons we decided on our honeymoon in Hawaii was to see the stars at Mauna Kea. Since it was still early in the season and the weather was bad, I was really worried about whether we would be able to see anything.

On the way, while we were having our dinner bento, the sky was covered with clouds, and I was preparing myself for disappointment. However, although we couldn't see the starry sky at the summit, we persevered at a parking lot a bit lower down and were able to see beautiful stars and the red glow of volcanic flames reflected in the clouds.

I think this was possible because this tour provided warm jackets to borrow. Compared to other tours, the jackets were really thick and warm. The sunset we saw at the summit was also incredibly beautiful.

They took a lot of photos for us, and the fact that we could download them from the internet as much as we wanted was a delightful service. If you're going to the Big Island and want to book a stargazing tour, I highly recommend Mauna Kea Nature School.

ハワイの新婚旅行を決めた理由の一つがマウナケアで星をみる、ということでした。時期的にシーズンにはまだ早く、また天気も悪かったのでちゃんと見えるかとっても不安でした。
途中夕食のお弁当を食べる所でも空は雲に覆われており、だめかもっと覚悟していましたが、山頂では星空は見えなかったけど、ちょっと降りた駐車場でねばってくれて、きれいに星や火山の炎が雲にうつった赤い明かりなども見ることができました。
これも、暖かい上着を貸してくれるこのツアーだからだと思います。
ほかのツアーの方と比べてももっこもこの上下の上着でした。
山頂でみた夕焼けも最高にきれいでした。

写真もいっぱいとってくれて、好きなだけネットからダウンロードできるのも嬉しいサービスです。
ハワイ島にいって星空ツアーを申し込むなら、マサシネイチャースクールをおすすめしたいです。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day. I was very worried about the weather, but I was truly relieved that the clouds cleared at the end and you were able to see the beautiful starry sky. Our company strives to show the stars for as long as there is hope. Even in Hawaii, the summit of Mauna Kea is as cold as mid-winter, so I'm glad that the warm clothing was helpful. If you have the opportunity, please consider using our tours again. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your next visit.

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!

I expected more

Reviewed by: May

The instruction was quick and they send you off on your own on a very quick test course. Ive never rode ATVs before and was very nervous but after a while I got used to it. We rode in a line there were 6 of us total including in the guide. I was starting to get tired (it was 85 degrees out) and hands were feeling sore I kept wondering when we were going to stop for a break. We eventually did and the views were breathtaking. The guide let us take some pictures. I was expecting the guide to stop at certain locations and tell us which movies were filmed where, but he barely talked. He just said "Yeah 50 first dates was filmed on the other side of this mountain, so was Jurassic Park.." I already knew that before this "tour" so I didn't learn anything new :( Overall the ride was fun I just expected more.

Tip: They offer you shower caps before you put on the helmet and please do get it!! The helmets smell so bad.

オアフ島 熱帯雨林ハイキング 初心者~中級者向け <英語ガイド>

Ohana Tropical Rainforest Hiking オハナ熱帯雨林ハイキング

Reviewed by: abb

On the day of the tour, there were about 15 people in the group, and we were the only Japanese participants. The location was accessed from quite a distance before the usual entrance to the Manoa Falls hike. I was a bit worried because the tour reviews mentioned walking silently like in military training, but in reality, we progressed at a comfortable pace that matched the participants, and the guide provided very detailed explanations about Hawaii's nature and wildlife at various points, which was truly enjoyable☆☆

We walked near a stream to reach the waterfall, so the sound of the water was soothing, and I felt relaxed by the sounds of birds and the wind. This route is different from the Manoa Falls hike, and the waterfall at the end is also different. On the way back, we returned through a bamboo grove. Since there are muddy areas and we crossed a river, I recommend borrowing rubber boots at the beginning. It felt a bit adventurous and was a lot of fun! With rubber boots, you can proceed without worrying about water or mud.

The tour is not specifically for Japanese speakers, and the guide does not speak Japanese, so I think having some English skills would enhance the experience. However, since this hike goes through private land and is a route you can't access on the usual Manoa course, I highly recommend it for those who love Hawaii's nature. It is truly healing and a lot of fun!

I think you'll enjoy communicating with various participants as you climb together! I definitely want to participate again next time♪

当日は大体15人ぐらいのグループで、日本人は私たちだけでした。
場所は通常マノアフォールハイキングに行く入口よりかなり手前からマノアに入ります。ツアーの体験談に軍隊の訓練のように黙々と歩くと書いてあったので、少し心配でしたが、実際はツアーの参加者のペースに合わせて無理なく進み、所々でガイドさんがとても丁寧にハワイの自然や動物について説明してくれて本当に楽しかったです☆☆
また、小川の近くを歩いて滝まで行くので、水の音が心地よく、鳥や風の音にも癒されました。
マノアフォールハイキングとは違うコースで、ゴールの滝も違いますし、帰り道は竹林を戻りました。ぬかるんでいる所や、川を渡ったりするので、始めに長靴を借りる事をオススメします。少し冒険みたいな感じですごく楽しかったです!長靴だと水や泥も気にせずどんどん進めます。
ツアーは日本人向けではなく、ガイドさんも日本語は話せないので、ある程度英語が出来たほうが楽しめるとは思いますが、私有地を行くハイキングで、マノアの通常のコースとは違い自分では行けないコースなので、ハワイの自然が大好きという方には是非オススメしたいです。本当に癒されます、そしてすごく楽しい!
ツアーの参加者と協力しながら登ると思うので、いろんな方とコミュニケーションが出来て楽しいですよ!
次回もまた是非参加したいです♪

We participated as four adults, and that experience is something you can't have in Japan!

I've visited Hawaii many times, but why didn't I do this before?

I'll definitely go next time, right?! Yes, I will!

Thank you, mischievous Spark!

大人4人で参加しましたが、あの体験は日本では経験出来ないですね!

ハワイは何度も訪れましたが、なんで今までやらなかったのか?

次回も行くでしょ?!
イヤッ!行くね!

やんちゃなスパーク君ありがとう。

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>

Amazing!!! アメイジング!!!

Reviewed by: スパイダーマン

We challenged ourselves as a couple!
I was really scared before jumping, but after I jumped, it was truly amazing!
Experiencing weightlessness while looking down at the ocean view in Hawaii is going to be addictive.
I will definitely do it again the next time I go to Hawaii!

夫婦で挑戦しました!
飛ぶ前はかなり怖かったけど、
飛び出した後は本当に最高!
ハワイのオーシャンビューを見下ろしながらの無重力体験は、病みつきになりそうです( ̄▽ ̄)
また、ハワイに行く時は必ずやりますよ(^ω^)

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

The hospitality I received on Maui. マウイ島で受けた、お・も・て・な・し

Reviewed by: 善光寺の鍵

Initially, we planned to go to Haleakalā on our own, but joining this tour was definitely the right choice. Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, had an amazing spirit of hospitality. At the stop at Kula Lodge, he said, "I'm not a salesperson," yet he kindly explained the recommended products, which contributed quite a bit to their sales (laughs).

The sunset over the sea of clouds was incredibly beautiful. It felt like being in heaven. While it seems that the sunrise tour is more popular, it was emphasized that the sunset offers a more beautiful sky due to the fine dust in the air. There were many thoughtful touches for participants, such as providing chairs for stargazing. It truly felt like "the joy of the customer is the joy of oneself," which must mean this is his calling. While watching the stars, we realized how small we are. The trivial annoyances of daily life were forgotten.

This time, the light from the half-moon prevented us from seeing shooting stars, so I would like to join again during the new moon.

当初は自分たちでハレアカラに行く予定でいましたが、こちらのツアーに参加して大正解でした。ガイドの山内さんのおもてなし精神が素晴らしいです。途中立ち寄ったクラロッジでは「お店の回し者ではないけど」と言いつつ、丁寧におすすめ商品の説明をして下さり、かなり売り上げに貢献してしまいました(笑)
雲海に沈むサンセット、とても美しかったです。まるで天国にいるみたいでした。ツアーとしてはサンライズの方が人気があるようですが、サンセットだと空気中に微細な塵があるために空の染まりがより美しいと力説されてました。星空観察もチェアーを用意するなど、参加者への心遣いがたくさん感じられました。まさに「お客様の喜びは自身の喜び」といった感じで、天職なのでしょうね。星を見ながら我々がいかに小さな存在であることを実感しました。日常のささいな嫌なことが忘れられました。
今回は半月の光が邪魔をして降るような星は見られなかったので、次回は新月の時に合わせて参加したいです。

The shop at Claridge offers rare dressings and coffee that you can't find at major stores, making it perfect for souvenirs. Since Sunrise is not yet open, taking a break here at 1,000 meters is an ideal resting spot for climbing to 3,000 meters. It's indeed safer to climb the mountain slowly. Please come visit Maui again! We look forward to seeing you.

クラロッジの売店には大手のお店では買えないレアーなドレッシングやコーヒーなどがあって、お土産には最適です。サンライズではまだオープンしていないのと
ここ1000メートルで一息つくのも、3000メートル登るのには最適な休憩場所なのです。やはり山はゆっくり登るのが安全ですね。また是非マウイに遊びに来てくださいね!お待ちしています。

Reviewed by: okumura

The sightseeing and horseback riding were amazing.
The only downside was that the weather wasn't very good this time.
However, it stopped raining while we were riding.
Also, for the sightseeing, since the pickup location happened to be just one place and there were two groups with a total of five people, we were taken to some unexpected places, which was fantastic.
Thank you very much.

観光と乗馬最高でした。
ただ残念なのは、今回は天気があまり良くなかった事です。
乗馬中は、雨が上がりましたけどね
あと、観光は、ピックアップ場所がたまたま1か所だった事と乗り込んだ人数が2組5名の為、予定外の場所にも連れて行っていただき最高でした。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day.
The clouds were low that day, and the sunset was visible through the gaps in the clouds.
The starry sky was initially obstructed by clouds, but it cleared up nicely in the end.

The magnificence of nature. 大自然の素晴らしさ

Reviewed by: 福田 浩

The day before, I was able to swim with dolphins, and on this day, I headed towards the mountain. Along the way, I felt uneasy about the weather due to rain and fog, but when the guide showed us real-time images of the summit area, it was clear, so I decided to trust that and continue. After two bathroom breaks, by the time we arrived at the Onizuka Center, the sun was beginning to set. Since we took a sufficient break here, I was able to avoid headaches from altitude sickness. Choosing a tour with a longer acclimatization time was the right decision. The bento lunch was also very delicious, and I appreciated the eco-friendly aspect of not using disposable containers or chopsticks.

From Onizuka, we went up a dirt road for a while, took commemorative photos in front of the Subaru Telescope, and then continued to the summit to watch the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds. After sunset, we descended a bit (to 3900m) for stargazing. Unfortunately, the moon was a bit bright as it was just past the first quarter, but I was still able to see an impressive number of stars for the first time. We even had fun taking photos of ourselves jumping as if we were invisible, not just observing.

Since our accommodation was at the southern end of the Kona area, the pickup was first and the drop-off was last, making it a long two-hour drive, but I enjoyed it so much that I lost track of time.

前日にイルカと泳ぐことができ、この日は山へ向かいました。途中、雨や霧で天候に不安を感じましたが、ガイドさんが山頂付近のリアルタイム画像を見せてくれるとよく晴れていたので、それを信じて向かいました。途中、2度のトイレ休憩の後、オニヅカセンターに着いた頃には日が傾き始め、ここで十分な休憩をとったため、いわゆる高山病による頭痛を起こさずに済みました。馴らし時間が長めのツアーを選んで正解でした。またお弁当もとても美味しく、しかも使い捨て容器、箸でなかったところにエコに配慮していることを感じました。
さてオニヅカからは暫くダートを上がり、すばる望遠鏡前で記念撮影、さらに山頂へと上がり雲海に沈む夕日を眺めました。日没後は少し降りて(3900m地点)で星空観察。あいにく半月を少し過ぎたくらいの月でしたのですこし明るかったのですが、それでも初めて見るくらいの数の星を見ることができました。ジャンプして透明人間写真を撮ってみたり、単なる観察だけでない楽しみもありましたね。
宿泊先がKona地区の南の端だったこともあり、迎えは最初、送りは最後でしたので、片道2時間のロングドライブでしたが、時間が経つのを忘れるくらい楽しめました。

Paradise Eco-Adventures - Lahaina Zipline Tour, Aquaball Ride & Fruit Tasting

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER

Reviewed by: Caligirl9

My mom, aunt, and I went ziplining and aqua balling and we had the time of our lives. I had the pleasure of speaking to Crystal one of the owners on the phone before we went and she was so polite and so inviting. We called the day before and she fit all three of us in. When we got there we had people already waiting outside for us and flagging us down. Andrew and Taylor were the people that helped us when we got there. They were so polite and made us feel very welcome. They calmed our nerves, answered all our questions and were very knowledgeable. They really love what they do and made us feel like friends visiting the farm. The farm is beautiful and intriguing. Dawn is the farm manager and she walked us to our car and showed us some more beauty about the farm. She was a sweetheart and made us feel so welcome we didn't want to leave! If anyone wants to have a good time I highly suggest you do the combo and hipline and aquaball!!! They are so fun!! Thanks so much guys!

I can't breathe~ い、息が~

Reviewed by: TK3

My first visit to the summit of Mauna Kea was surprisingly challenging due to the thin air, which made it a bit hard to breathe (though I think this varies from person to person). Although the participants this time didn't use it, I heard that the guide is prepared with oxygen supplies, so there’s no need to worry.

I was very satisfied with the sunset view. For stargazing, the half-moon was directly overhead, which made it a bit difficult to see some stars, but the guide's thorough and entertaining explanations were very informative. On that day, it was unusually warm for Mauna Kea, with no wind, so I was able to enjoy the tour without too much difficulty.

Next time, I would like to participate in a sunrise and stargazing tour as well.

 初めてのマウナケア山頂は、思いのほか空気が薄く少し息苦しく感じました(個人差は有ると思います)。今回の参加の方々は使いませんでしたが、ガイドさんは酸素吸入の準備もしているそうですから心配ないでしょう。
 夕日はばっちり見ることが出来て大満足でした。星空観測は半月が真上にあり、星が見えにくい所があって少し残念でしたが、ガイドさんの丁寧で面白い説明がありとてもためになりました。当日はマウナケアにしては珍しいくらい暖かで風もないということで、あまりきつい思いもせずにツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。
 今度は、日の出&星空観測のツアーも参加してみたいと思います。

It became a memory. 思い出になりました

Reviewed by: アトム

I participated with my in-laws and husband. The weather wasn't great on the day, but we were able to see a beautiful sunset at the summit. We also got to see the starry sky when the clouds cleared, and I was very moved to confirm the Milky Way. Our guide, Macchan, was bright and funny, which made it enjoyable for everyone. We took a lot of photos, and I was very happy to have starry sky pictures that I couldn't take myself. The winter clothing provided was also more substantial compared to other tour companies, so I would like to recommend this tour to others.

義父母と旦那と4人で参加しました。当日は天候が優れなかったのですが、頂上でのサンセットは綺麗に見ることが出来ました。星空も雲が切れたタイミングで見ることが出来、天の川も確認出来たのでとても感動しました。案内いただいた、まっちゃんが明るく面白く案内してくださるので皆で楽しめました。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、自分では撮れない星空写真はとても嬉しかったです。防寒着も他のツアー会社と違って重装備でしたのでこちらのツアーを周りにオススメしたいです。

Lackluster. One of the captains was kind and helpful. The "driver" was a egomaniac with anger issues. He called a small group of customers "Too f*cking stupid.
