クアロア・ランチ 乗馬体験(2時間) 映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫!<送迎付きプランあり>

I recommend the 2-hour course! 2時間コースおすすめです♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The explanation before horseback riding was just a simple Japanese video, so I was honestly quite anxious, but once I got on the horse, all my worries disappeared.

I understood that I needed to follow the horse in front of me, so when the horse in front stopped, I stopped too. When it moved, I moved. All the horses were very smart and didn’t stray off course at all. They are really clever!

This time, in addition to the four of us, there were two Westerners participating individually, making a total of six people plus one guide for the two-hour course.

The guide only knew simple Japanese necessary for horseback riding, like “kick with both feet” and “pull,” so all the explanations about the movie filming along the way were in English. I thought that maybe Japanese people tend to sign up for half-day courses, as there were not many participants in the two-hour course.

At the end, we passed by another group of about 20 people, who were mostly Japanese. They had a Japanese guide. If you want to hear explanations in Japanese, this course might be better for you.

The scenery was absolutely amazing, and the two hours flew by! Many movies, including "Lost," "Jurassic Park," and "Godzilla," were filmed here, and we also passed the filming location for the remake of "Journey to the Center of the Earth," which is scheduled for release in 2012.

It’s quite far from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch, but if I have the chance, I would love to join the two-hour course again!

乗馬前の説明は簡単な日本語ビデオを見るだけだったので、正直かなり不安でしたが、お馬さんに乗ったら不安も吹っ飛びました。

前の馬についていくことをわかっているので、前の馬が止まったら自分も止まる。動いたら動く。とどの馬もとっても頭がよく、激しくコースを外れることはありません。
本当におりこうさんたちです。

今回、私たち4人のほかに西洋人2名がそれぞれ一人参加で、計6人+ガイド1名で2時間コースを楽しみました。

ガイドさんは「両足蹴って」とか「引っ張って」とか乗馬に必要な簡単な日本語しかわからない方だったので、途中の映画撮影についての説明などはすべて英語です。日本人はほとんどの方が半日コースなどに申し込まれるからか、日本人の2時間コースの参加は少ないのかなと思いました。

最後、ほかのグループとすれ違いましたが、20名ぐらい?の大人数でほぼ日本人のようでした。こちらは日本人ガイドさんがいらっしゃいました。説明を日本語で聞きたいのならこちらのコースがいいのかもしれません。

景色はとっても最高で、あっという間の2時間でした!
ロスト、ロストワールドやゴジラのほかにもたくさんの映画が撮影され、2012年に公開予定の「travel to the center of the earth」?のリメイク?撮影場所も通ります。

ワイキキからクアロア牧場までかなり遠いけど、機会があればまた2時間コースに参加したいです♪

Kualoa Ranch Horseback Riding & Jurassic Valley Movie Sites Tour

Our favorite excursion!

Reviewed by: DAinDP

This was by far the best activity that we booked on Oahu. The scenery was gorgeous and the horses were well behaved. The two guides were very knowledgeable about the ranch and you run into some interesting leftover movie/TV sets throughout the valley that make for some great pictures!

Captain Tiger's Waikiki Daytime and Sunset Bottom Fishing Cruise [Closed]

Fishing Trip On Oahu

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was the wrong activity for me to book for my family. In reading the fishing trip description it appeared that it would be fairly calm since we were fishing close to shore. At no fault of the Captains or activity provider, the water was very choppy and very high rolling waves, and all 3 of my family members spent pretty much the entire time leaning over the side of the boat "chumming the water". 3 days later and we are still feeling a little weak in the stomach. I would not recommend this for a family activity. Maybe for a hard core individual wanting to do some ocean fishing. Make sure you don't get sea sick before you book this or it will affect your other activities after you attend the fishing trip. Again, I want to say that the Captain and crew were excellent, but we just underestimated the high waves and how long we would feel sick to our stomach afterwards.

Captain Tiger's Waikiki Daytime and Sunset Bottom Fishing Cruise [Closed]

Oahu Sashimi Bottom Fishing

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Had a beautiful day out on the water, but the propellor got wrapped in someones rope that another boat had tossed overboard. That made it impossible to get to the intended fishing spot, so the fishing wasn't as good as it should have been. 1st Mate Richard and Capt. Dave made the trip as enjoyable as possible. After a good lunch Richard had to jump overboard and clear the rope from the propellor to bring us in. Richard was very attentive and helped my grandaughter catch the largest fish that day, an almost 3ft saltwater gar. She loved it! Our 2 sons both caught triger fish. My husband and myself were fishless. We had hotel pickup and with the beautiful sites and lunch it was well worth the price even without the fish. The captain and first mate made the best out of something they had no control over.

Starry sky seen on a new moon☆ 新月に見る星空☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

When I arrived on the Big Island, I joined a tour to see the stars! I hope this helps those who are planning to participate in the future.

I recommend going during the new moon. Without the moonlight, the stars are beautiful. The tour company provides warm clothing, so it’s best to prepare your own warm socks for your feet and ear muffs or a mask for your face.

Also, you will drive on rough roads, and there are temperature and pressure differences, so I think it’s a good idea to rest well the day before you go. It’s also recommended not to have a packed schedule the next day (I personally felt like I wanted to take it easy the following day).

I chose the tour company based on price after some deliberation, and I’m really glad I did. There was an older gentleman who was a veteran of the Big Island among the participants, and he said this tour was the best.

The main reason is that they focus on the stars. Since there is an observatory nearby, there are some restrictions, but they push it to the limit (laughs). Other companies seem to have shorter times. However, it seems they stop at supermarkets, so if that’s something you want to do, you might prefer that option. I think it’s good to choose a company based on other people's comments as well. The new moon days are popular, so make your reservation early!

ハワイ島に着たら、星!ということでツアーに参加しました。
これから参加する方のためになればと思います。

お薦めは、新月に行かれること。
月の光がないので、星が綺麗です。
そして、防寒具は催行会社が貸してくれるので、それ以外、足(厚手の靴下)、顔(耳あて、マスク?)の準備をご自身でされていかれると良いです。

それと、道中はあらい道を車で通りますが、気温差、気圧差もあるので、前日はゆっくり休まれてからむかうのが良いと思います。翌日もあまり詰め込んだスケジュールにしない方がお薦め(どちらかというと、翌日の方がゆっくりしたいなと思いました)。

催行会社さんは、悩んで最後は値段で決めたのですが、ここで本当に良かったです。
一緒に参加されている方に、ハワイ島ベテランの年配の方がいらっしゃいましたが、その方もこのツアーが1番良かったとおっしゃっていました。

1番の理由は、星に重点をおいてくれることでしょうか。
天文台が近くにあるため、制約があるのですが、ぎりぎりまでねばってくれます(笑)
他社さんはもう少し時間が短いようです。その代り、スーパーとかに行かれているようなので、その点は事前に確認し、寄りたいというのであればそっちの方が良いという方もいるかも。
他の方のコメントも参考に、会社を選ばれると良いと思います。新月の日は人気なので、お早めに予約を~。

It's great no matter how many times you go. 何度行っても良い

Reviewed by: 大阪のおばちゃん

This was my fourth time at Mauna Kea. I also went for the sunrise, but I preferred the sunset. Each time, I participated with a different tour company, and they all put in a lot of effort to make it enjoyable, but I think this was the best one so far.

I was especially happy that this tour allowed for a longer time at the summit. Each company provides warm clothing, but it was my first time borrowing pants. It really helps since your feet can get cold after a long time.

I always plan my schedule around the new moon, so this time, the starry sky and shooting stars were amazing!

Moreover, this time we observed from the closest spot to the summit, so the stars were right next to us... I also saw the Southern Cross for the first time.

What impressed me the most was being able to take a photo of Saturn with my phone camera, thanks to the staff.

I will definitely participate in this tour again next time!

マウナケアには4回目
サンライズも行ったけれど、私はサンセットのほうが良かったです。
毎回違う催行会社で参加、
各社とも私考を凝らして楽しませてくれますが、今までで一番良かったと思いました。

特にこのツアーは山頂での時間をとても長く取ってもらえるので嬉しいです。
そして、各社防寒着を貸してもらえるのですが、ズボンを借りたのは初めてでした。長時間居てると足下が冷えるので助かります。

毎回新月時期を狙ってスケジュールを組んで行くので、今回も満天の星と流れ星は最高!でした。

それにまして今回は山頂に一番近い所での観測だったので星が真横に・・・初めて南十字星も見ました。

一番感激したのは、
土星の写真を携帯のカメラで取れた事、スタッフの御陰です。

Outfitters Kauai Zipline Trek Adventures at Kipu Ranch

Definitely Worth the Visit!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I was blessed to go on the Zipline Trek yesterday morning, and had such an amazing experience. The ziplines and course were incredible, but what truly made the tour were the guides, Trevor and Nick. From the minute we got our backpacks and climbed into the van, their energy, enthusiasm and candor put everyone at ease immediately...truly setting the tone for a remarkable day.

Between Trevor's humor and charm, and Nick's great historical knowledge and easy going attitude, it was a dynamic duo that I for one was so grateful to have lead me. I am an avid traveler, and have been on many tours...and if anyone knows, it would be me, that oftentimes it is the guides that can make or break the entire "feel" of the experience. Hands down, 100%, I can confidently say that Trevor and Nick MADE this experience.

And by the end of the day, I do believe we were all a bit enraptured with Trevor especially...even down to the 15 year old swooning in the back...charmer, witty, and just wonderful. G

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

My first experience riding a horse! 人生初の乗馬♪

Reviewed by: ゆころ

I signed up for horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley. I was supposed to meet there, but I overslept and ended up being about 20 minutes late. When I called in broken English, they kindly said they would wait for me, which was a huge help. We rode down to the base of the valley in a van with the door wide open, and then it was time to start riding! The horse was very smart and walked perfectly well even for beginners. Along the way, the staff took a lot of photos for us. There was a spot where we had to cross a river, and it was so deep that I had to lift my legs while riding, which was thrilling. The next day, my butt was a little sore, but I had so much fun and it was a valuable experience. If I get the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would love to participate again.

ワイピオ渓谷で乗馬ができると知り申し込みました。
現地集合だったのですが朝寝坊してしまい、20分ほど遅刻してしまいました。
片言英語で電話をしたら待っているといってくれて本当に助かりました。
ワゴン車でドアを開けっ放しのまま豪快に渓谷の麓までまで下り、乗馬スタートです♪
馬はとても利口で初心者でも問題なく歩いてくれました。
途中でスタッフの人にたくさん写真を撮ってもらいました。
川を渡る場所もあったのですが乗馬をしていても足を上げないといけないほどの深さがあり、スリル満点でした。
翌日はおしりが少し筋肉痛になりましたが本当に楽しかったし貴重な経験が出来ました。
ハワイ島に行く機会があればまた参加したいと思います。

Let's enjoy it 200%! 200%楽しみましょう!

Reviewed by: FukuD

It was such a wonderful experience that it brought me to tears instead of words. The appropriate and flexible responses, along with the necessary yet not extravagant equipment, and reasonable prices made me glad I chose Masashi Nature School.

Guide Ochi-san provided clear explanations about the history, background, and stories of Hawaii and Mauna Kea during the journey and at the summit. There seems to be a saying on the Big Island: "If you want to know everything, go to the top of the mountain." As I looked at Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and got closer, I felt that meaning resonate in my heart. Standing there, the majestic Hawaiian prayer songs naturally echoed deep within my ears.

【What was wonderful】
- The crisp atmosphere at the summit.
- A 360-degree panorama from the true summit (4205m).
- The sunset sinking beyond the sea of clouds to the west.
- The shadow of the mountain appearing above the sea of clouds to the east.
- The shadow of the Earth that appears after the sun sets.
- The gradient from orange to deep blue.
- The countless stars I had never seen before, including the Southern Cross.
- Guide Ochi-san. At first, I thought he was a bit brusque (laughs).

While it was already amazing as it was, I recommend preparing the following, including my own reflections:

【Altitude sickness measures】
- Get plenty of sleep the night before.
- On the day, avoid drinking alcohol at the beach in the morning.
- If you're worried, buy oxygen spray locally.
*You will be going to a place nearly 450m higher than the summit of Mount Fuji. Underestimating it can lead to painful experiences, even for seasoned climbers.

【Cold and hunger measures】
- They will lend you warm outerwear, but you should prepare your own inner layers (flannel shirts, fleece, long pants, shoes, etc.).
- If you're sensitive to the cold, bring hand warmers from the base.
- You might get hungry on the way back, so bring snacks like candy or Snickers.
*Lunch will be provided, but since you'll be returning more than five hours after eating, you might feel a bit hungry.

【Photography equipment】
- A "tripod" and a camera that can set the shutter speed to over 30 seconds (get accustomed to using it beforehand).
- Batteries deplete quickly in the cold, so bring a spare battery.
*Capturing beautiful sunset and starry sky photos will create the best memories.

【iPhone/iPad app "Star Walk"】

言葉の代わりに涙が出るほど、すばらしい経験でした。
適切かつ臨機応変な応対と、華美ではないが必要充分な装備、リーズナブルな価格。
マサシネイチャースクールにしてよかったと思いました。

ガイドの越智さんが道中および山頂で、ハワイやマウナケアについての歴史・背景・エピソード等、色々と分かりやすく教えてくれました。
「全てを知りたければ、山の頂へ行け」という格言がハワイ島にはあるらしいです。
マウナケア・マウナロアを見て、そこへ近づくに従って、その意味が心で感じられる気がしました。
その場に立つと、雄大なハワイの祈りの歌が、自然と耳の奥に響きました。

【素晴らしかったこと】
・ピンと張りつめた山頂の大気。
・本当の山頂(4205m)からの360度パノラマ。
・西の雲海の彼方に沈む夕日。
・東の雲海上に出現する、山の影。
・夕日が沈んだ後に現れる、地球の影。
・オレンジ~深い青へのグラデーション。
・見たこともない星の数。そして南十字星。
・ガイドの越智さん。最初はぶっきらぼうな人かと思いましたが(笑)

そのままでも十分すばらしいですが、私の反省も含めて、
以下の準備をして行くことをオススメします。

【高山病対策】
 ・前夜の睡眠は十分に取る。
 ・当日は、午前中でもビーチでアルコールなどを飲まない。
 ・心配なら現地で酸素スプレーを買っておく。
 ※富士山頂より450m近く高い場所に行きます。
  ナメてかかると玄人でも痛い思いをします。

【寒さ&空腹対策】
 ・暖かい防寒着の上下を貸してくれるが、インナー系は自分で用意する。
  (ネルシャツ、フリース、長ズボン、靴など)
 ・寒がりの人は、ホッカイロなどを麓で仕込んで行く。
 ・帰り道でお腹が減る可能性があるので、飴やスニッカーズ等、小腹に入れるものを。
 ※お弁当は出ますが、食べて5時間以上経過して帰りますので。少し腹が減りました。

【写真道具】
 ・「三脚」と「シャッタースピードを30秒以上に設定できるカメラ」。
  (事前に使い慣れておくこと)
 ・寒いとバッテリーの消耗が激しいので、予備バッテリー。
 ※夕日や星空を綺麗に撮れると、最高の思い出になります。

【iPhone/iPadアプリの「Star Walk」】

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>

I want to fly again! また飛びたい!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a couple. It was my husband's wish to join, and we had a really great time! I definitely recommend the course that has the longest airtime and goes the highest!

It gets cold up there. Also, the belts are quite tight, so I recommend wearing clothing that has some length around the shoulders and thighs. I wore a short-sleeve T-shirt and a long-sleeve shirt, but I ended up with light marks on my arms. If you have long hair, make sure to bring a hair tie! My hair is about shoulder length, and since I forgot a hair tie, it got really tangled after the flight.

You can land on both feet on the grass. I noticed that a few men landed on their bottoms (including my husband), so it might depend on the weight distribution with the instructor.

The mention of "long wait times" seems to refer to the editing time for those who requested DVDs. Still, during our time, there were 10 participants and 5 DVDs, and we were able to return to Waikiki around 12:30.

夫婦で参加しました。
そもそも夫の希望で参加しましたが、す~ご~く楽しかった!
絶対、滞空時間の長くなる、一番高く上がるコースをおすすめします!

上空は寒いです。またベルト類をぎっちり締めつけるので、肩口や腿の部分はある程度長さのある衣類をオススメします。
私は半袖T&長袖シャツでしたが、腕の付け根に軽く跡がつきました。
髪の長い方はヘアゴムを!私は肩ぐらいの長さですがヘアゴムを忘れたため、飛び終わった後は髪が絡まりまくって大変でした。。

芝生地に両足で立って着地させてもらえます。
見ていると男性はお尻からのかたが数人いたので(うちの夫も)、インストラクターさんへの加重にもよるのかもしれません。

「待ち時間が長い」とあるのは、DVDを申し込んだ方々の編集時間待ちのようです。
それでも私たちのときは参加者10人、DVD5人で、12時半ごろにはワイキキに戻れました。

Oahu Waterfall Hiking Tour with Expert Guide - Manoa Valley & Koolau Trails

Highly recommended

Reviewed by: Mamacita

We did the hike-only portion up to a waterwall. Beautiful rainforest hike on the way up, and impressively thick bamboo forest on the way back down. We appreciated that bug spray, water, and snacks were provided. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and patient with the occasional extra time it took our 6-year old daughter to navigate some slippery and steep areas. Bike Hawaii was understanding and flexible with us when we accidentally started on the wrong activity, and easily re-scheduled us to another day so we could enjoy the activity we meant to attend. I'm sure we will use their business again when we return to Oahu.

Sidenote: our transportation back to the hotel was a 6-seater vehicle, with 7 intended passengers. Much Thanks to the cab driver who insisted that it was not safe for me to simply "hold my daughter on my lap" for the return ride! I totally agree.

Just a little bit more. あともう少しの所で

Reviewed by: meahula

I have participated in this tour twice in the past. It's definitely one of the tours you should go on when you visit the Big Island. This time, we were covered by thick clouds from the moment we left the hotel, and it was said that the summit conditions were fifty-fifty. By the time we arrived at Mauna Kea, there was unusually snow at the summit for this time of year, and the roads were frozen, resulting in a road closure, so we couldn't go up. However, the staff's response to whether customers would be satisfied with the current situation was good. After the rain and thunder, we were taken to another point where we could see the sunset through a gap in the clouds, and we were able to walk and enjoy it together. The timing was perfect! We were able to see a beautiful sunset. I'll save the starry sky for the next time as something to look forward to. Thanks to the staff's judgment and actions at that time, we were able to have a great time. The view from that point was also a wonderful memory. The bento from another company looked more delicious, though (laughs). I would like to use this service again!

The experience of watching the sunset from a peak over 4000 meters is truly unforgettable, and it became a wonderful memory. Additionally, while stargazing, I learned a lot from the interesting stories shared. The tour conductor also mixed in various anecdotes while guiding the tour, so the frequent movements didn't bother me much. However, it tends to be quite cold, so it's best to prepare as much as possible for the cold. We brought fleece and leggings from Japan. Other outerwear for warmth can be borrowed, and they are quite good quality.

4000mを超える山頂から夕陽を眺める経験はそうできないので、本当に良い思い出になりました。また星空観察でも色々と面白い話を聞きながらなので、勉強になりました。ツアーコンダクターの方も色々な話を織り交ぜながら、ツアーを進めてくれるので、移動の多さもあまり気になりません。ただ、寒いことが多いようですので、可能な限り防寒対策をしていかれた方が良いです。私たちは日本からフリースとスパッツを持って行きました。それ以外のアウターの防寒具は立派なものを貸して頂けます。

The staff made us feel so welcome. I was nervous about riding. Butch was our guide and he really went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire ride. He took a lot of pics for us and had a wonderful sense of humor. I will go back again for sure!

It's a different world. 別世界です

Reviewed by: 上野

I experienced breathtaking views that you wouldn't expect in tropical Hawaii. The beauty of the setting sun was particularly exceptional.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the Southern Cross due to clouds, but I definitely want to see it next time. The staff were kind, and I made some wonderful memories. Thank you!

南国のハワイとは思えぬ
絶景を見てきました
特に沈む夕日の美しさは格別でした

南十字星は残念ながら雲があり見えませんでしたが
次回は必ず観にいきたいと思います
スタッフも優しくてとても楽しい思い出ができました
ありがとうございます

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>

You'll be moved on the tour!! ツアーで感動するよ!!

Reviewed by: Keiko

The view of the sea of clouds from the Haleakalā hiking trail
The grandeur and tranquility of the Haleakalā crater.
The sunset painting the sky a brilliant red.
The countless stars said to outnumber the grains of sand on Earth.
Listening to Yamauchi-san's heartwarming stories under that starry sky.

Every time I see it, I am breathless.
Every time I hear it, I am moved.
I want many people to experience this emotion.
Is it possible to be moved on a tour?
Yes, it is~~~!

This time, I participated with my impressionable nephews.
They joined thinking it was just a tour to see stars.
Hmm~~→Ukuu→Yay yay→Moved!!
I could feel their changing emotions through their attitudes and words.

"I'm glad I brought them."
"I'm glad they felt something."
"Seeing their smiles made me smile too (tears)."

The "Mahiro's Mom" and her child, who joined us, seemed like family surrounding Yamauchi-san, even though we had just met a few hours earlier.

I had a very fulfilling day, and it became a memorable experience for my nephews.
They still call Yamauchi-san "Boss."
Thank you, Yamauchi-san.

The makunouchi bento was exquisite.
My whole family finished it all.

Next time, I will bring my willful niece, so please whip her into shape. (laugh)

【For Participants】
The summit is very cold.
While down jackets, gloves, blankets, and warm tea are provided, don't forget to prepare for cold feet.
For women who are sensitive to the cold, I recommend hand warmers and neck warmers.

ハレアカラ登山道から見下げる雲海
ハレアカラクレーターの雄大、静けさ。
空が真っ赤に染まるサンセット。
地球上の砂の数よりも多いとされる満天の星たち。
その星空を見ながら山内さんの心温まるお話。

何度見ても息をのむ。
何度聞いても感動する。
この感動を沢山の人に味わってもらいたい。
ツアーで感動する事ってあるの?
あるのさ~~~!

今回、多感な時期の甥御達と参加。
ただ、★を見るツアーと思いつつ参加した甥達
ふう~~ん→ウクウク→ワーイワーイ→感動!!
気持ち移り変わりを態度や言葉で感じました。

「やっぱ、連れて来て良かった」
「何かを感じてくれて良かった」
「その笑顔を見て私まで笑顔になって(涙)」

一緒に参加させて頂いた「マヒロのママさん」親子さんも、数時間前に初めてお会いしたとは思えないくらい、山内さんを囲んでファミリーになっていましたね。

とても充実した一日が得られましたし、
甥御達には心に残る思い出となりました。
未だに山内さんの事を「ボス」と呼んでいます。
山内さん有難うございました。

幕の内弁当は絶品。
わがファミリーは全員完食でした。

今度はわがままな姪御を連れて行きますので
根性を叩き直してやってください。(笑)

【参加される方へ】
山頂はとても寒いです。
ダウン、手袋、ひざ掛け、温かいお茶は用意されておりますが、足元の寒さ対策をお忘れなく。
寒さが苦手な女性の方はカイロ、ネックウォーマーをお薦めします。

Thank you so much for coming every year. This time, it was your nieces participating, right? They were very honest and energetic, and I received a lot of power from them. I hope the sunset and starry sky at 3,000 meters left a lasting impression on your heart. I'm looking forward to our next reunion!!

毎年来て頂き本当に感謝しています。
今回は姪っ子さん達の参加でしたね。
とっても素直で、でもエネルギッシュな彼らから、
自分もパワーを分けてもらいました。
3000メートルの夕焼けと星空は何か心に残ったものがあったら幸いです。
またの再会を楽しみにしています!!

I participated with my husband and niece. It was our first time, but thanks to the instructor who helped us relax, I was able to get through it without any issues and had a great experience. My husband seemed to really enjoy it. Thank you very much.

主人と姪の3人で参加させて頂きました。私と主人は初めてでしたが、インストラクターの方がリラックスさせて頂いてくれたおかげで私はなんとか、事なきを終える事ができ、よい体験をさせて頂きました。主人はすごく楽しかったようです。有難うございました。

Tomorrow is a full moon. 何と、明日は満月

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The participation day was the day before the full moon, so the moonlight obscured the view of the stars a bit, but I was still moved by the beautiful starry sky. The staff's explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to experience the mysterious universe, including Saturn viewed through the telescope.

参加日は満月の前日のため、月の光に遮られて、星の見え方は今一つでしたが、それでも美しい星空に感動しました。
スタッフの方の説明もわかりやすく、望遠鏡から覗いた土星も含めて神秘の宇宙を体感できました。

Great fun!

This is not your normal tubing- it's way cooler! Who can say they've tubed through an old ditch for irrigating sugar fields! Not to mention Kehea and Marty are super awesome guides.

Look up at the stars in Maui! 見上げてごらんMauiの星を!

Reviewed by: tarzan nagaoka

Thank you for the amazing stargazing tour yesterday. It was my first tour experience on my fourth visit to Maui... I thought it would be nice to casually drive around wherever I wanted in a rental car (laughs), so I underestimated the "tour" itself.

I was deeply moved by Yama-P's knowledge of the stars, his presentation, and the stories shared in the car; I was completely satisfied. I felt like I confirmed that my way of enjoying annual trips to Hawaii was not wrong.

I was also surprised to learn that the couple Mike and Loreen, whom I met two years ago, were close acquaintances of Yama-P! I strongly felt that this was truly a "connection."

I felt a bit bad about the senior discount!

昨日は圧巻の星空ツアーをありがとうございました。四度目のマウイで初めてのツアー体験・・・レンタカーで好きな所を(適当に)まわる事がお気楽で良いと思っていたので(笑) 「ツアー」事態をなめていました。
山Pの星の知識・演出・車内のお話 すべてに感動し、大満足でした。そして、毎年HAWAII旅行を楽しんでいる今までの生き方が間違っていなかったことを確認できた気がしました。
私が二年前に知り合ったマイク&ロリーンご夫妻が山Pの親しいお知り合いだったことにもビックリです! これが正に『ご縁』と強くおもいました。 
シニア料金では申し訳なかった~!

Thank you for your hard work the other day!
By coincidence, a mutual acquaintance shared their story with Mr. Nagaoka, and I feel that this strange connection is indeed a reminder of the importance of cherishing each encounter.
I truly had a wonderful time!
I look forward to the opportunity to meet again in Maui.

先日は長い時間お疲れ様でした!
偶然にも知り合いが長岡様に自分の話をしたことから
不思議な縁が縁を繋いで行く事に、やはり一期一会を感じます。
本当に自分も楽しい時間が過ごせました!
また是非マウイでお会い出きる事を楽しみにしています。
