The guide was fluent in Japanese and talked about altitude sickness measures and various topics during the ride, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. The weather was great, and it was the best experience. I want to go to Hawaii Island again! Next time, I want to join the sunrise tour! ☺︎

ガイドさんが日本語も堪能な方で、高山病の対策についてや車内でも色々とお話しをしてくれて安心して楽しめました。
天気も良く、最高の体験ができました。またハワイ島に行きたい！次はサンライズツアーに参加したいです☺︎

Laka was fun and entertaining and he made us all feel like family. Fantastic tour guide, exceptional at sharing his amazing aloha spirit. We were blessed to be with him.

I signed up for the tour because there was only an English option, but it seems a certain number of Japanese participants gathered, and they held a Japanese tour for us. I was glad to receive explanations in Japanese about altitude sickness and the stars, which were quite specialized. Our guide, Sho-chan, was friendly and made it enjoyable. The timing for the sunset and stargazing was perfect, and I'm really glad I participated in the tour.

英語でのツアーしかなかったので申し込みましたが、日本人参加者が一定数集まったそうで日本人むけの日本語ツアーを開催してくださいました。高山病へのアテンションや星の説明など専門的な話を日本語で説明受けれてよかったです。ガイドのしょうちゃんはフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
サンセットの時間や星空観測などの時間配分も完璧でツアーで参加してよかったです。

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We not only got to see some amazing views we were treated to local legends and learned about the culture. Saw several recognizable, iconic scenes/props from some of our favorite movies.

It was the best experience. I had always wanted to do it at least once in my life, and I'm glad I could do it in Hawaii. The scenery was beautiful, and I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

最高の体験でした。
人生で1度はしてみたいと思っていましたが、ハワイでできて良かったです。
景色もよくまた機会があればやりたいです。

Picked up on time, arrived at Diamond Head with plenty of time to take pictures etc. Family friendly tour, the malasadas were so yummy! Great views, no rush to finish the hike.

Greeted with all of the information we needed to check in. Great tour by Mikey. Lots to see and it kept everyone highly entertained. Highly recommend to anyone, the views are breathtaking.

I loved this experience so much! We stopped at different locations to hear about different historical stories of the land and native Hawaiians. You also got to see different scenery during the ATV ride!

Just got back from our tour, but if you're questioning of splurging, take these into consideration: these are based on my experience tonight.

1) liking the convenience of a tour guide driving to the summit. But if the sunset view is what you’re after- you can drive to the summit yourself. Everyone follows the rule of leaving the observatory after sunset. Totally understandable. STUNNNNING views. Keep in mind it’s gravel paved and quite treacherous at night- but doable.

2) huge upset: if stargazing is what you’re after- like me. I was disappointed that they only show THREE views through telescope. Three. That’s it. First was a cluster of random stars. Second, after math of a super nova. Third was millions of stars what believed to be pulled in by a black hole. Amazing stuff, but that’s all you get. I was reading other previous reviews and they seem to enjoy more bang for their buck. The tour guide did go over the constellations using a laser and showed some stars in the sky without needing the telescope- but if you’re wanting to see planets, stars up close, we were limited to three.

3) food was okay- salty lasagna. Just save some few bucks and bring your own food.

4) bundle up-long sleeve and pants, close toe shoes is a must. It gets cold at night. They do offer parkas and gloves.


Would I want to do this again? Not after tonight. It was overpriced for what they offer.

The breathtaking view from above was very impressive. The explanations were given very kindly and thoroughly, making for an enjoyable time.

空からみる絶景の景色がとても印象的でした。とても丁寧に優しく説明してくださり楽しい時間になりました。

My child wanted to go horseback riding, and it seemed difficult to do it individually, so we signed up for a tour. There were no problems since a Japanese guide showed us around. We had the experience of riding a horse through magnificent scenery, something we can't do in Japan.

子供が乗馬をしたがり、個人で行くのは難しそうなのでツアーを申し込みました。
現地では日本人ガイドさんが案内してくれたので何も問題なかったです。
雄大な景色の中を馬に乗って散歩するという、日本ではできない経験ができました。

Sam was fantastic - really gave us all an exceptional tour of the night sky and was very knowledgable and great with the kids too!

I was a bit anxious about horseback riding in the blazing sun, so I chose the sunset time. It turned out to be a great decision! The breeze was pleasant, and the scenery was truly beautiful.

I met a slightly free-spirited horse. However, the instructor was always nearby, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.

At a spot where the sunset reflected beautifully, I was able to take a lot of pictures (even though I was wearing a helmet... haha), creating wonderful memories.

I am very satisfied with this precious experience in Hawaii.

炎天下での乗馬はちょっと不安だったので、サンセットタイムを選びました。
結果、大正解！風も心地よく、景色が本当に美しかったです。

私が出会ったのは、ちょっぴり自由奔放なお馬さん。
でも、常にインストラクターの方がそばにいてくれて、安心して楽しめました。

夕陽がきれいに映るポイントでは、たくさん写真も撮っていただき、
（ヘルメット姿ですが…笑）素敵な思い出になりました。

ハワイでの貴重な体験ができて大満足です。

We secured our summer spots for this excursion way ahead, and so glad we did as it booked out quick, and was definitely our favorite excursion done on Kauai!

Unique and refreshing experience like no other that I have experienced!

Of course everyone told us ahead of time to make sure to stop here, and they were not wrong. What a fabulous type of tour, fun and historical!

The sunrise at the summit was breathtaking, the hike up is a bit hard as it is dark out, but the views from the top make every step worth it!

ATVs were easy to drive and in great condition and guides were awesome throughout!

The tunnels were the best part with some being completely pitch dark with headlamps doing the work!

I had been to the visitor center in the past, but this time I participated in the sunset and stargazing tour at the summit for the first time. In conclusion, I was very satisfied with my participation! I highly recommend it!

There were more participants than I expected, and we departed in two cars. The cars were divided between foreigners and Japanese participants, and our driver was Japanese, who communicated clearly and kept the conversation enjoyable throughout the trip. Despite the large number of people, I felt that the service was not lacking, and efforts were made to ensure everyone could enjoy the experience.

We brought down jackets, gloves, and hats, but they provided very warm rental gear, so I think it's fine if you don't bring anything. Each group had several photos taken, and they captured wonderful pictures for us. During the sunset, I felt the power with my whole body, and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the starry sky shining all around.

I also got to see a very cute semicircular rainbow next to the summit of Mauna Kea. It was a tour filled with emotion, a gift from the snow goddess Poliahu. If you are going to the Big Island, I definitely recommend participating!

過去にビジターセンターまで行ったことはありましたが、今回初めて山頂でのサンセットと星空観測のツアーに参加しました。
結論、参加して大満足です！おすすめします！
参加人数が思ったより多く、車2台で出発。
車は外国の方と日本人とに分けられ、私たちのドライバーは日本の方で、とてもわかりやすく楽しくずっと話してくださいました。
人数が多いから…とサービスが手薄にならず、すべての人が楽しめるように工夫されていたと思います。
私たちはダウンや手袋、帽子は持参しましたが、とても暖かそうな防寒具の貸し出しがあるので何も持っていかなくても大丈夫だと思います。
写真もそれぞれのグループで何枚も撮影してくださり、素敵な写真を撮ってくださいました。
サンセットでは体全身でパワーを感じ、夜空一面に輝く星空には自然の雄大さに圧倒されました。
またマウナケア山頂の横にとてもかわいい半円の虹を見ることができました。
雪の女神ポリアフからの贈り物に、感動ばかりのツアーでした。
ぜひハワイ島に行かれるなら参加して欲しいです。

We went as a family of three.
Along the way, something went wrong.
One person was taken off the horse and sent back by car, which was a disappointing event.
Was it judged to be dangerous?
Was it determined that the horse couldn't be controlled because it was only eating?
In any case, we returned halfway without a clear reason, which was quite disappointing.

家族３人でいきました
途中、何が悪かったのか？
１人だけ馬を下ろされ車で戻される残念な出来事がありました
危ないと判断さらたのか？
馬が食事ばかりして制御出来ないと判断されたのか？
どちらにしてもはっきりした理由もなく道半ばでの帰還
かなり残念でした

Matt and Nan were excellent guides. They were personable and entertaining. 5 stars.

I participated in a beginner-level plan with shuttle service. There is a bus to Kualoa Ranch, and at the information desk, there are Japanese staff or staff who can speak Japanese.

When you arrive at Kualoa Ranch, the Japanese staff will instruct Japanese participants to gather together. Once gathered, they will explain the basic flow and locations in Japanese, so there’s nothing to worry about.

There were no Japanese-speaking staff on the return bus. It was initially sunny at Kualoa Ranch, but it gradually became cloudy.

It was my first time on an E-bike. At first, there is practice on the course. I applied the brakes as I would on a regular bicycle, but they are very effective, so be careful. Make sure to apply the brakes slowly.

Once you get used to it, there are no problems. The activity guide communicates only in English. Before starting the activity, they show you how to operate the E-bike with a video that has Japanese subtitles. During the activity, it is completely English-only.

送迎有り初心者レベルのプランに参加しました。クアロアランチまでの行きのバスとクアロアランチのインフォメーションデスクに日本人もしくは日本語を話せるスタッフがいます。
クアロアランチに着くと日本人スタッフなどが日本人は集まるようにと指示してくれます。集まったら簡単な流れや場所の説明等を日本語でしてくれるので何も心配いりません。
帰りのバスには日本語を話せるスタッフは乗車しませんでした。
クアロアランチは最初は晴れていたんですがだんだんと曇り空になりました。
初めてのEバイクでした。最初、コースで練習があります。普通の自転車の感覚でブレーキをかけたのですが思いっきりブレーキが利いてしまうので注意してください。ゆっくりブレーキをかけるようにしましょう。
慣れれば何も問題有りません。アクティビティのガイドは英語だけでやり取りします。アクティビティを始める前にEバイクの操作方法を日本語の字幕が付いたビデオで見せてくれます。アクティビティ中は完全に英語オンリーです。

I participated with my daughter. It was our first time seeing such a beautiful sunset, and we were both moved! The explanations during the stargazing were detailed and easy to understand. Above all, we were captivated by the dazzling stars that were out!

娘と参加しました
こんなに美しい日没を見たのは初めてでふたりで感動しました！
星観察でも詳しい説明なので分かりやすかったです
何よりもこんなに星が出ていたんだとキラキラまばゆい星に見惚れてしまいます！

It was the best experience. It was my first dive, and it's a feeling you can't experience with other activities, so I definitely recommend it. The price is a bit steep, though, haha. The instructor spoke English and was very kind, so I managed to get through it, haha.

最高の体験でした。初めてのダイブでしたが、他のアクティビティでは経験できない感覚なのでぜひおすすめです。値段は貼りますが笑。英語インストラクターですが、とても優しいのでなんとか乗り切れました笑

I have ridden horses several times in Japan, but this was my first time abroad. There was plenty of time, and the terrain had some elevation changes, which made me a bit nervous, but it was a lot of fun! I think it would be even more enjoyable if you understand English.

日本では何度か乗馬をしたことがありますが、海外では初でした。
時間たっぷり、若干高低差がある地を行きますので、少し緊張しましたがとても楽しかったです！
英語がわかるともっと楽しめると思います。

I was nervous about my first zip line experience, but I was able to communicate in Japanese quite well, and I had a great time throughout. Even the staff at the reception who didn't speak Japanese were wonderful, as they used a translation app to explain things to me!

初めてのジップラインでドキドキでしたが、日本語も割と通じて終始楽しい時間でした。日本語が通じない受付の人でも、翻訳アプリで説明してくれて対応が素晴らしかったです！

Zip line over 250 foot waterfall. Great fun. Mirabell & Calista were fantastic guides, made our day.

It was amazing! There are so many shops I want to visit in Haleiwa Town, and I think it would be even better if we had a bit more free time!

最高でした！ハレイワタウンで寄りたいお店がたくさんあり、自由時間がもう少し長いとさらに良いと思います！

Our horseback ride was amazing from start to finish! The staff at the ranch were friendly and helpful and the farm itself had many other animals to see and pet in addition to the beautiful horses. The ride was through several different areas and types of terrain and the views were incredible! Highly recommend!
