The Japanese tour was fully booked, so my family participated in this one. The tour guide spoke English at a relentless speed, so I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I was very satisfied to see the sunset above the sea of clouds and an unexpectedly beautiful starry sky.
Many of the other participants were middle-aged individuals from the mainland United States, and everyone was very sociable, which made for an interesting experience in that sense.
There were meal options at a mountain lodge along the way, but I think everyone ended up eating chicken. At the top of the mountain, someone felt a bit unwell, but there were oxygen tanks available, so they recovered partway through. Since the travel was only by car, there was no physical activity at all.
During the stargazing, the explanations were thorough, but the cold really hit me. It's best to prepare as much warm clothing as possible. It might have been even better if I had studied the stars in advance. It was my first time seeing so many clear stars.
日本語ツアーが満席だったので家族でこちらに参加しました。
ツアーガイドさんは容赦ないスピードの英語でしたので詳しい説明は理解できませんでしたが、雲海の上の夕日と期待以上の満天の星空をみることができたのでとても満足しました。
他の参加者はアメリカ本土の中年の方が多く、みなさんとても社交的でいろいろ話ができて、そういった意味でもおもしろい体験ができました。
途中の山小屋のようなところでの食事は事前に選択肢がありましたが、結果的にみなチキンを食べていたと思います。
山の上では、少し具合が悪くなった方がいましたが、酸素ボンベが準備してあったので途中から復活していました。車での移動だけなので運動量はまったくなかったです。
天体観測のときは、じっくり説明をしてもらえるので理解できないこともあり寒さが身にしみました。できる限りの防寒具を用意していったほうがよいです。
事前に星の勉強をしていけばもっとよかったかもしれません。あんなにたくさんのはっきりとした星を見たのは初めてです。

This time, I traveled to Hawaii with three friends for the first time in ten years. The average age of our group was 55, making it a trip for older gentlemen. Last time, we spent two days golfing and driving around the island. This time, I wanted to try something different besides golf. When I went to Hawaii with my family this summer, I saw a buggy tour on the Hawaii Channel, which piqued my interest, so I joined a two-hour course.
It was raining at the 8 AM meeting time, so we changed to the afternoon, but the weather in Hawaii is unpredictable. The sun quickly peeked out, so we participated in the morning as originally planned. We were the only Japanese participants, along with a couple from Ohio. We received instructions via video and then set off.
The staff accompanying us spoke only a little Japanese, but they made a great effort to entertain us. Along the way, they treated us to passion fruit that was growing on a tree, and in the end, they understood our driving skills, allowing us to enjoy a motocross-like experience. Everyone felt it was better than expected. The Jurassic world is also worth a visit!
今回は仲間3人と10年ぶりのハワイ旅行でした。
平均年齢は55歳のおっさん旅行です。
前回はゴルフ2日と島内ドライブで終始しました。
今回はゴルフ以外で何かと考えました。
私が今夏家族でハワイに行った時ハワイチャンネルでバギーを見たので興味が有り2時間コースに参加しました。
8時集合時は雨が降っていたので午後に変更したのですがハワイの天気は気ままな事。
すぐに薄日が射したので予定通り午前に参加。
日本人は我々だけで一緒にオハイオから来たカップルでした。説明はビデオで受けいざ出発。
同行スタッフはほんの少しの日本語しか出来ませんでしたが一生懸命楽しませてくれました。途中木になっていたパッションフルーツをサービスしてくれ最後は我々のドライビングテクニックを理解してくれモトクロス状態で堪能しました。
皆思ったよりよかったーが感想です。
ジュラシックの世界も一見ですよー。

I went to Maui for the first time and participated in the Haleakalā sunset and stargazing tour. There were four of us: a group of three consisting of a mother and her two daughters, and me. It was nice to have fewer people, making it more relaxed. The moon was out, so the visibility of the stars wasn't great, but the sunset was beautiful. I was able to have a valuable experience. Next time, I would like to go during the new moon.

The staff is friendly, but the fast-paced English might be tough for residents from non-English-speaking countries who have little experience with fishing. In fact, out of about 15 participants, half were already down despite the calm sea. The remaining half didn't seem to be English speakers either, and their fishing techniques were all over the place. There was no blood bait used at all; they just tossed in the bait... After five hours, only three rods had any bites. However, since they didn't know how to fish properly, there were two missed opportunities due to premature strikes, and only one was barely brought in. I felt that the lack of shoulder harness equipment on the boat really suggested that they weren't set up for actually landing fish. If the fishing techniques and baiting methods were reconsidered, it could become a much more enjoyable activity. Additionally, if they clearly communicated clothing recommendations, fishing techniques, and precautions in advance, it could become even more popular.
スタッフはフレンドリーですが全てが早口な英語で釣りを余りやった事が無い英語圏以外の住民には厳しいかも…
実際に15人程の参加人員は海が静かなのにも関わらず半数が既にダウン。
残りの半分は英語圏の人々で無いらしく、釣り方もバラバラ。
血の付いた撒き餌も全くする事も無く、ただ餌を放り込むだけ…
5時間やって当たりのあった竿は僅か三本だけ…
それも釣り方が分かってないので、早合わせでバラしが二回、僅かに揚ったのは、一本だけなんですが、船内にショルダーハーネスの装備も無くて本当に揚させるのを前提として無いのではないかと感じてしまいます。
釣り方や撒き餌も再検討されれば、更に面白いアクティビティになると思いますし、事前に服装、釣り方のノウハウや注意点が明示されれば更に人気がでるのではないでしょうか?

I made a reservation on the site for 9:00 and checked in around 8:45, but I actually flew around 13:00. For some reason, I was marked as having flown around 12:00, and I was skipped in line, with people who arrived later flying before me. Is there really any point to making a reservation?
The skydiving itself was fun. However, both my wife and I were quite fed up with the long wait times. Our feelings changed from anxiety to anger, then to resignation and indifference, and we wasted half of our precious vacation.
The only Japanese staff member that day was unprofessional and didn’t use polite language. The female staff member at the reception didn’t show a single smile. Even when I tried to communicate my concerns, she responded with gestures that indicated she didn’t care.
While there may be people who simply say, "I had fun!" I think there is a lot of inconsistency in that. There are certainly personalities among the many instructors that may or may not match, but the reservation system and the unpleasantness of the reception staff were honestly terrible.
You never know what might happen on the day, and since there isn’t always a Japanese staff member present, I think you need a certain level of English proficiency to voice complaints and the mental strength to endure the rude staff and long wait times.
当サイトで9:00に予約し、当日は8:45頃に受付をしたのに、実際飛べたのは13:00頃。12:00頃には何故か飛んだことにされていて順番をとばされるし、後から来た人が先に飛んだりするし。これって果たして予約の意味あるんでしょうか?
スカイダイビング自体は楽しかったです。
しかし、私も同行した妻も、待ち時間が長すぎて、かなりうんざり。焦り、怒り、諦め、無関心と心境は変化し、貴重な休暇を半日無駄にしました。
その日の唯一の日本人スタッフは、敬語も使わない雑な対応。受付の女性スタッフは笑顔一つ見せない。言いたいことを伝えようとしても、「関係ない」というようなジェスチャーで取り合おうともしない。
おそらくは、単純に「楽しめた!」って言う人もいるんでしょうが、そこにはムラが多いと思います。大勢いるインストラクターの個性には合う合わないがあるにせよ、予約のシステムや受付スタッフの感じの悪さは、正直ひどい。
当日何があるかわからないし、日本人スタッフも常にいるとは限らないので、文句を言えるくらいの英語力と、雑なスタッフと長い待ち時間に耐えられる精神力は必要だと思います。

This time I participated alone. Indeed, it can feel a bit lonely with mostly couples around, but the guide really helped to lift the mood. There were newlywed couples and seasoned couples, but participating alone can also be enjoyable.
As for the weather, it’s mostly clear at the summit, so I don’t think you need to worry about that. They also provide warm clothing, so there’s no need to stress about that either, but make sure to bring long pants and proper shoes. Wearing Crocs can be a bit tough.
今回は一人での参加。
たしかに、カップルばっかりでちょっと寂しい気持ちになりますが、そこはガイドがしっかり盛り上げてくれました。
周りは新婚参加カップル、熟年夫婦などなど、ですが一人での参加も楽しいですよ。
転校は基本的には山頂は晴れていることがほとんどなので気にする必要は無いと思います。また、防寒着もしっかり貸してくれますので、気にする必要はありませんが、長ズボンと靴だけはしっかり持って行きましょう。クロックスだと、ちょっとしんどいですよ。

For the first time in my life, I flew in the sky. The feeling of fear lasts only for a brief moment as you drop. After that, the altitude is so high that you hardly feel like you're falling. The pressure of the wind from below made it hard to breathe, and I was desperately gasping with my mouth wide open. Also, at such a high altitude, I was able to see a round rainbow in the air. It was surprising! At one point, the instructor spun around in the air, but I got dizzy... People who are prone to motion sickness should be careful. Make sure to be in good condition before attempting this. Don't do it like I did, challenging it the day after arriving! (laughs) But it was incredibly fun. I definitely want to come back again.
生まれて初めて、空を飛びました。恐怖感は落ちる瞬間、ほんの一瞬です。後は高度がありすぎて、落ちている感覚はほぼありません。ただ下からの風圧で息がしずらく、口を平たく開いて必死で息をしていました。また、これだけ高度があると、空中で丸い虹が見られました。ビックリ!途中、インストラクターが空中でくるくる回転してくれましたが、酔いました…。酔いやすい人は注意です。体調は万全にして挑みましょう。私のように現地着の翌日に挑む何て事の内容に(笑)。でも非常に楽しかったです。ぜひまた来たいですね。

My wife and I enjoyed our visit and horseback riding experience at the Gunstock Ranch. We did not want to go to a heavily commercialized facility for horseback riding. There were a lot of animals at the ranch and the scenery was beautiful. The ride trail was nice and rustic which we wanted in our experience. The guide provided us great instruction and information about the ranch, the area and plants along the trail.
Our only improvement suggestions are for the restroom facility's cleaning cycle, grading and packing the access road and a more legible road sign.

Skydiving was the main event of my trip to Hawaii. It turned out to be an amazing memory, just as I had hoped! Despite being cheaper than in Japan, I was thrilled to jump in such a wonderful location. I thought I would be scared when jumping, but before I could hesitate, I leaped right off. Thanks to my reliable instructor, I was able to jump with a smile. While taking in the blue sky and ocean, I experienced a rapid descent at first, and then after the parachute opened, I glided gently through the air, which felt fantastic. It was a unique experience that has become an unforgettable memory for a lifetime!

日本に比べて安い価格なのに、素晴らしいロケーションで飛ぶことができ感激です。

でも頼れるインストラクターさんのお陰で笑顔で飛ぶことができました。
青い空と海を見渡しながら、最初は一気に急降下、パラシュートが開いてからはゆるやかに空を旋回しながら降り、とても気持ち良かったです。

Thank you for allowing me to participate in the tour. The night sky on the Big Island was beautiful. The stars I saw at Mauna Kea were, of course, stunning, but I might have had too high expectations when comparing it to the night sky I saw while chasing the aurora in another country. Overall, I think the tour itself was satisfying.

This was my first time on the Big Island, and I participated alone... The sunset at Mauna Kea was very beautiful. However, it was colder than I had imagined. Unfortunately, the stargazing wasn't ideal because it wasn't a new moon, and the moonlight was too strong, so we couldn't see a sky full of stars. Instead, I got to look at the moon through a telescope. I realized just how brightly the moon shines. Considering the limited schedule, the chances of having stargazing on a new moon are quite low, aren't they?
今回、初めてのハワイ島で、一人参加でしたが・・・、
マウナケアのサンセットはとても綺麗でした。
しかし、想像以上に寒かったですね。
星空観測は、残念ながら新月ではなかったので、月の光が強すぎて、満天の星空とはいかなかったです。
その代りといってはなんですが、望遠鏡でお月様を見せてもらいました。月光って、凄く光り輝いてることに改めて気づきました。
限られた日程の中で、新月に星空観測に当たる!!って、かなり確率低いんじゃないでしょうか~?

I believe that most of the Japanese participants in this tour were those who couldn't book a Japanese-language tour. I would like to share the details of the tour.
The tour began with participants being picked up in a large Land Cruiser, and the guide provided explanations through a microphone while driving. There were about 16 participants in total, and the vehicle was full. There was one young couple, but the rest were middle-aged couples from English-speaking countries. Among them, my spouse and I were the only Japanese. At the start of the tour, the guide introduced each participant, and we responded when our first names were called.
After about an hour, we stopped at a former ranch site for a break. There were portable toilets available. The main dishes, snacks, and drinks that we had selected during registration were distributed, and we enjoyed an early dinner around a table inside a tent. After that, we were handed bottled water and warm clothing (just jackets). We drove along a steep, bumpy road, enjoying views of the sea of clouds as we headed for the summit. We arrived at the top about an hour before sunset; it was drizzling below, but here it was beautifully clear. We visited the observatory from the outside, took photos, and watched the setting sun.
After it got dark, we moved to the mountainside, warmed up with the snacks and cocoa we were given, and finally began stargazing using lasers and telescopes. It was an hour of enjoying the starry sky and the Milky Way. Finally, we stopped at the Onizuka Visitor Center to use the restroom and buy souvenirs before heading home.
I had heard in advance that it would be quite cold, so I brought a lot of clothes, but it wasn't cold at all on the day of the tour. I think if you're going on a sunset tour from April to October, you don't need to worry too much about the cold. Also, no one in our tour group had any issues with altitude sickness. A flashlight was very helpful; each person should have one as a necessity.
The guide's English was fast-paced, almost like a DJ, making it difficult for us to catch everything. I believe there was an explanation of the overall schedule at the beginning of the tour, but I couldn't understand it. I managed to pick up on keywords and follow along with the group. For those taking an English tour, I think it would be helpful to study the English names of constellations and stars in advance to assist with comprehension.
こういうツアーに参加される日本人の方々は、ほとんどが日本語ツアーをとれなかったので、という方々だと思います。ツアーの様子をお伝え出来ればと思います。
ツアーの流れは大型のランドクルーザーで参加者をピックアップし、その後ガイド氏が、運転をしながら道中色々とマイクで説明をして進んで行きます。参加者は全部で16人位だったかと思います。満席でした。
一組だけ若いカップルがいましたが、後はみな英語圏の中年のカップルでした。その中で、日本人は我々夫婦だけでした。ツアーの始まりにガイドさんから一人一人参加者の紹介がありました。ファーストネームを呼ばれたら返事をします。
1時間ほどして、途中牧場跡地で車を降りて、休憩を取ります。仮設トイレもあります。申込時に選んでおいたメインディッシュ、お菓子、飲み物等が配られ、テントの中のテーブルを囲んでの早めの夕食です。その後、ボトルに入った水と防寒服(上着のみ)が手渡されます。急こう配のでこぼこ道を走り、途中雲海を眺めたりしながら山頂を目指します。サンセットの1時間ぐらい前に山頂に到着、下界は小雨でしたが、ここは綺麗に晴れていました。外観からの天文台見学をしたり、写真を撮ったりしながら、沈みゆく夕日を眺めました。
暗くなってから山の中腹に移動し、配られたお菓子とココアで暖まった後、いよいよレーザーと天体望遠鏡を使っての星空観測です。満天の星と天の川を堪能した1時間でした。最後に鬼塚ビジターセンターでトイレを済ませ、お土産を買って帰路につきました。
事前の情報ではかなり寒いように聞いたので、服をいっぱい持っていきましたが、当日は全然寒くありませんでした。4月~10月頃のサンセットツアーなら寒さには神経質にならなくても良いのではと思います。また、いわゆる高山病についても私たちのツアーでは全員問題ありませんでした。役に立ったのは懐中電灯です。1人1個は必需品です。
ガイドさんの英語は、ちょうどDJのようなノリで早口でした。我々の力では聞き取るのは難しかったです。ツアーの始めに全体のスケジュール説明もあったとは思いますが、わかりませんでした。
空気を感じ取って、かろうじてキーワードを聞き取り、何とか団体行動について行きました。英語ツアーの場合は、事前に星座や星について英語名を憶え勉強しておくと、聞き取りの手助けになろうかと思いま

Before flying, I had to sign a lot of contracts, which made me a bit anxious, but I'm glad I went!
It was hard to breathe until the parachute opened, but after that, it felt amazing and was the best experience!
It was quite cold up in the air, so wearing thin long sleeves and long pants might be a good idea☆
When you jump, there's no time to hesitate; it felt like I was gently floating down with the flow.
If you order photos and a DVD, you can check them in the room where the safety video is played at the beginning.
The person I jumped with only ordered photos, but the cameraman had both cameras mounted on his head, and it seemed like they were filming the DVD at the same time. After seeing that footage, they ended up wanting both and purchased them.
Tips are given to the instructor, the cameraman, and the shuttle bus driver separately.
飛ぶ前に契約書にたくさんサインしないといけなくて、それがちょっと不安な気持ちにさせるけど、飛んでよかった!
パラシュート開くまでは息が苦しかったけど、そのあとはすごく気持ちよくて最高でした!!
上空はかなり寒かったので、薄手の長袖・長ズボンがいいかも☆
飛ぶときはためらう暇もなく、ふわっと流れのまま落ちる感じでした。
写真とDVDを頼んだら、最初に注意事項のビデオを見た部屋で流されるのでチェックできます。
一緒に飛んだ人は写真だけの申込みだったけどカメラマンの頭の上には両方のカメラが付いていて、同時にDVDの撮影もしてあったので、その映像を見てほしくなったみたいで結局両方購入してました。
チップは、インストラクター、カメラマン、送迎バスの運転手それぞれに払います。

Also, it would've been cool if the trail leader took at least one picture of each person on their horses for memory purposes. I found it hard to take a picture and ride the horse at the same time. But other than that the experiece was great!!!

This was a very very fun day. We got married on Thursday and spent Saturday on this tour and couldn't have asked for a better day. The guides were very knowledgeable and interested in our taking away a lot from the experience.
A word about the exertion level, the hiking is the most strenuous part of the day, but done at a pace that almost anyone can easily match. We are in our 50's and in good shape for our age and never felt pushed or overly challenged. That said, you'll know at the end of the day you had done more work than sucking down cocktails at the hotel pool.

On October 20th, I boarded the Nakane-san bus.
I was worried about altitude sickness, but Nakane-san taught us various things like how to drink water and precautions, and as long as I followed his advice, I was fine.
The sunset sinking into the clouds was truly beautiful, and I think it's worth seeing at least once. The "shadow of the Earth" that I saw after the sunset was very beautiful and left a strong impression on me. Nakane-san took a silhouette photo of a newlywed couple with the sunset in the background, and it turned out so beautifully that it became a memorable picture from their honeymoon. I have it set as my phone wallpaper and PC desktop image.
During the stargazing afterward, even though the moon was bright, I was still able to see many stars. Lying on the ground and looking up at the star-filled sky, I could see the Milky Way and even satellites with the naked eye! We also took photos with the starry sky in the background, creating wonderful memories that will be cherished both in memory and in record.
As for clothing, I wore:
On top: Heattech long sleeves → sweatshirt → Uniqlo light down → borrowed down jacket
On the bottom: Heattech tights → long pants → borrowed pants
This was just right for me (I tend to get hot, so it was a bit chilly). My husband, who gets cold easily, borrowed a hat and gloves and used a heat pack he brought from Japan.
I also appreciated the thoughtfulness of being offered warm drinks during dinner and while stargazing. Thank you, Nakane-san! I made such wonderful memories.

一緒に行った彼女も大満足。
途中山が開けた場所から見た海の景色は最高!!
これぞハワイ!
彼女は「また行きたい♪」と言っています。
Dear Take-chan,
Thank you for visiting us. I'm glad to hear that your girlfriend also enjoyed horseback riding. The two-hour horseback riding course offers a great view of the ocean, and in winter, you might even see whales.
We hope to see you again soon!
たけちゃん様
ご来場いただき、有難うございました。
彼女さんにも乗馬をしっかり楽しんでいただけたようで、嬉しく思います。
2時間の乗馬のコースでは、海が見えてお得です。冬には鯨が見えることもありますよ。
また是非お越し下さい。

I think even those without horseback riding experience can enjoy it. You can fully enjoy the wonderful views of Maui. I went there with a rental car without a navigation system, but as long as you calmly look at the map, there are no problems. The two-hour English-only session was thrilling for me, as I'm not very good at English, but it was a valuable experience and I’m really glad I did it!
乗馬未経験のかたでも楽しめると思います。
マウイ島の素晴らしい眺めを満喫できます。私はナビ無しレンタカーで向かいましたが落ち着いて地図を見ていけば問題ありません。English onlyの2時間は英語の苦手な私にとってはスリリングでしたが、貴重な体験が出来てとても良かったです!

I was worried about altitude sickness, but the staff's explanations and support made me feel at ease during the stargazing. The tour with Masashi, who even lends you pants because it gets really cold at the summit, is great. It seems that the stars visible change with the seasons, so I would like to go again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.
高山病の不安があったのですが、スタッフの方の説明や対応で安心して星空観察できました。山頂は本当に寒いので、ズボンまで貸してくれるマサシさんのツアーは良いです。
季節によって見られる星が違うようなので、機会があったらまた行きたいです。ありがとうございました。

I've always wanted to try skydiving. Friends who experienced it in Saipan or Guam said it cost over 50,000 yen, but compared to that, this was very reasonable♪ The weather was great, and I did it in a short-sleeved shirt, but sneakers are definitely necessary. The wait time is a bit long.
ずっとやりたかったスカイダイビング。サイパンかグアムで体験した友達は5万以上かかったと言っていましたが、それに比べて大変リーズナブル♪天気も良く、半袖で体験しましたが、スニーカーは絶対必要ですね。待ち時間がちょっと長いです。
