All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Didn't know what to expect. If you like water rides, you're in for quite an adventure. Alot of fun for the family-our ages ranged from 7 to 45 and we all had a great time. The guides were very informative, funny and helpful.

Despite being over 3000 meters high, Yamauchi-san drives smoothly along a road without guardrails or streetlights. Since it's a national park, the focus is on the scenery. As expected of America. Apparently, if someone falls, it's the driver's fault.

From below, it looked cloudy, so I was worried, but once we broke through the rain clouds and emerged above the sea of clouds, it was like a different world. The sunset was beautiful too.

Although there were a few clouds, it wasn't a starry sky, but I was able to see the Milky Way for the first time in a while. I also saw the Southern Cross for the first time. A satellite even crossed our path.

It's a shame I didn't know about such a wonderful tour earlier; I would have loved to participate with my wife, who passed away two years ago. However, my sister, who joined this time, was very happy.

On the way back, we talked about ghost stories and listened to nostalgic songs by Takuro Yoshida and Yumi Matsutoya, and the time flew by. Thank you very much.

３０００ｍを超えているのに、ガードレールも街灯もない道を山内さんは、すいすいと運転していきます。国立公園なので、景観重視との事。さすがアメリカ。転落するのは、運転手が悪いそうです。
下界から見ると雲がかかっているので、心配していましたが、雨雲を抜け雲海の上に出ると、そこは別世界。
夕日も綺麗でした。
少々雲があったので、満天の星空とはなりませんでしたが、久しぶりに天の川を見ることが出来ました。また、初めて南十字星も見ることが出来ました。人工衛星も横切りました。
こんなすばらしいツアーをもっと前に知っていたら、一昨年亡くなった妻と一緒に参加したのに残念です。でも、今回参加した姉はとても喜んでくれました。
帰りは、肝試しの話や、吉田卓郎やユーミンなどの懐メロなども聞け、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。有難うございました。

We were not sure about this tour but it exceeded our expectations. We all loved it. We had fun and learned much. Guides were awesome!

Staff is very friendly. Jeremy and Kalani (I prob spelled his name wrong) were very knowledgeable, helpful. There was and older gentleman on the hike who had issues with heat exhaustion, and Jeremy even took off his t-shirt to help the man, that maybe shouldn't have been on the hike in the first place. It was great that we had the same two guides during throughout all three excursions. There are only two things they don't tell you before you go. One is that the hike is a real hike, not just a stroll through the woods, and bit challenging for someone who would become winded from climbing stairs. lol We were able to do the hike with no problems, but its just a word of advise. Second there is only one port-a-potty available at the beginning of the day, so make sure you go before it starts. But don't worry you will sweat out most of the water lol. You won't have access to another bathroom until the start of the snorkel. Other than those few surprises we had a wonderful time and everythi

I participated in your tour.

Now that I'm back in Japan, I realize just how extraordinary my time on the Big Island and the scenery of Mauna Kea were.

Mauna Kea is amazing, but the guide from Nature School was even more incredible (laughs). They were truly powerful and soulful, and it makes me want to do my best in Japan too!

Thank you so much! I will definitely go to Hawaii again!

御社のツアーに参加させていただきました。

日本に戻り、ハワイ島での時間やマウナケアの風景がどれだけ非日常的なものだったか、改めてわかります。

マウナケアもスゴイですが、ネイチャースクールさんのガイドさんが、さらにスゴイ（笑）　ほんとにパワフル、ソウルフルで、私も日本でガンバろう！って思います。

本当に有難うございました！またハワイ行きます！

Thank you for a wonderful time.

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first visit to the Big Island.

I'm so glad I went!

The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved. The starry sky was, of course, amazing! I saw the Milky Way for the first time.

The starry sky was educational. I was amazed by the guide's knowledge and entertainment value.

It became the best memory!

とても素敵なひと時をありがとうございました。

ハワイには、何度か行ったことあるのですが、ハワイ島に足を伸ばしたのは今回はじめてでした。

行って、大正解です！

夕陽はとても綺麗で、ただただ感動でした。
星空は言うまでもなく、最高！天の川、はじめてみました。。

星空は、勉強になりました。ガイドさんの知識とエンターテインメント性に驚くばかりです。

最高の思い出になりました！

The tour was amazing! Over Hawaii locations on a prefect Hawaii day... what more can you ask for!? The tour guide was entertaining and well knowledge. But the fact that we had to share the tour with 10-12 year old boys kind of killed the romantic part of the tour. It's a GREAT experience! Although staying in Waikiki and driving to the North Shore was kind of a hassel and took one hour... the helicopter tour made up for part of it. I would recommend to first timers to the island.

My husband and I are first time visitors to Hawaii and wanted to see some of the beautiful sights but also wanted something laid back. This was the perfect thing to do. Coming from Waikiki Beach we ended up renting a convertible for the day and it was a beautiful drive up the coast. We got there a little early and found several treasures in the gift shop. There were riders with a varied range of experience in our group (including a first timer or two) and a great time was had by all. We opted for the 2 hour tour and definitely recommend it. The back side of the mountain was a little more challenging but still quite safe and great fun. The views were fabulous and there were several photo opportunities including some of the tv/movie locations, our guides even picked some guava from the trees which was a lovely treat. Make sure you heed their warning about wearing long pants as there is quite a bit of heat coming out of the ATV around your legs after a while and closed-toed shoes a

Great day of events. For me the sailing portion made the day very long. I would not recommend all three in the future.

The hike and biking experience was awesome. Some of the guides on the boat were not as friendly or welcoming as I experienced on my other excursions. Kind of put a damper on an otherwise good experience.

On the day of the event, it was clear and almost windless. It was the perfect day for diving.

This was my second time skydiving. I forced a slightly reluctant friend to join me.

The location was in the northwest part of Oahu. The scenery looked like something out of Field of Dreams. The hot dog I had while waiting was delicious. A group of Harleys passed by, and the relaxed atmosphere was great.

There was a Japanese explanation video and staff who could communicate in Japanese. There were quite a few participants, around 40 people, including couples and groups. About 40% of the participants were Japanese.

No special knowledge was required. When I dove in Florida before, I had to manage things like reading the altimeter and operating the parachute, which was quite serious. This time, everything was left to the instructors. So, it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who want to do more themselves.

The instructors were very kind and experienced. They picked up on my slight anxiety and kept the mood light and fun. Thank you, Instructor Stephan, for being "the most dangerous instructor" (as George said).

Photos and videos are optional, but I especially recommend the video. When I jumped in Florida, I didn't order the video, so I regretted not having "proof" to show off to someone in Japan. Therefore, it's definitely a good idea to order the video. It's a wonderful video with cool music. Thank you, Ash.

On the day, there were many participants, and I felt the waiting time was a bit long. However, spending time leisurely with a hot dog and beer while watching others jump is also a nice way to spend a holiday.

It's scarier than a roller coaster but not as scary as bungee jumping. I highly recommend this activity for those who have never done it before.

参加当日は、快晴かつほぼ無風。
最高のダイビング日和でした。

スカイダイビングは人生2回目でした。
すこし嫌がる友人を無理やり誘っての参加。

現地は、オアフ島の北西部。
フィールドオブドリームスに出てきそうな風景。
待ち時間に食べたホットドックが美味。
ハーレーの軍団が通ったり、のんびりとした感じがGOODです。

日本語の解説ビデオと、日本語対応可能なスタッフ。
参加者は結構多くて、カップルやグループなど40人くらい。
日本人は全参加者の4割程度でした。

特別な知識は一切不要。
以前フロリダでダイブした時は、高度計の見方や、パラシュートの操作など、
結構自分でする必要があり、かなり本格的でした。
今回は逆で、すべてインストラクター任せでした。
なので、自分でいろいろしたい！という人には物足りないかも知れません。

インストラクターは、とても親切かつ経験豊富な方たちでした。
少し不安になっているこっちの気持ちを汲んでくれて、明るく盛り上げてくれました。
「いちばんきけんなせんせい(George談)」ステファン先生ありがとう。


写真とビデオはオプションですが、ビデオは特にお勧めです。
フロリダで飛んだ時はビデオ撮影を注文しなかったため、日本で誰かに自慢したい時に｢証拠｣がなく、ずっと後悔していました。
なので、ビデオは必ず頼んだほうがいいです。
カッコいい音楽付きの素敵なビデオ。アッシュありがとう。

当日は、参加者が多く、やや待ち時間が長いかな？
と感じました。
まあ、他の人が飛んでるのを見ながら、のんびりとホットドックとビールで時間をつぶすのもまた、いい休日ですよ。

ジェットコースターよりは怖いけど、バンジージャンプよりは怖くありません。
一度もやったことのない人には、かなりお勧めのアクティビティーです。

We are in our golden years, but we went to Maui for our honeymoon. It was my first time in 13 years, and for my husband, it was his first visit to Maui.

We debated whether to go for sunrise or sunset, but since we wanted to see the starry sky slowly from a mountain over 3,000 meters high, we chose sunset.

At 2:30 PM, we were picked up in front of our hotel (Ka'anapali). As we passed through the town of Lahaina, we were given recommendations for restaurants and galleries. After a tea time at Krispy Kreme, we headed to the town of Makawao. We strolled through unique galleries featuring paintings and glass creations, as well as shops selling cowboy products. We stopped by Kula Lodge and bought a lot of souvenirs like jam and coconut candy. There was a wide variety of jams, and we got to taste several of them. They also had tea and herbal products, creating a lovely, soothing atmosphere.

As we passed through a eucalyptus-scented forest, the scenery changed with the increasing altitude. While listening to stories about the flora and fauna of Haleakalā and the spirits, we arrived near the summit just before evening. We enjoyed a 360-degree view from the height of 3,055 meters until sunset. Through the telescope, we could see the Subaru Telescope on the Big Island's Kīlauea. The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was majestic, and the changes in the sky after sunset were beautiful as well. We were even able to see the Earth's shadow reflected in the sky.

After a restroom break and enjoying a warm Japanese bento, the stargazing began. Looking up at the night sky, it was filled with stars that twinkled quietly rather than sparkling. It made me realize just how many stars surround the Earth. I felt that this night sky was a special encounter made possible by being at such a high altitude. While watching the celestial planetarium, Yamauchi-san's explanations about stars and constellations were easy to understand, and I felt the mysteries of the universe.

It was probably lucky that it was just the two of us participating before Golden Week, but there were additional joys beyond Haleakalā, and Yamauchi-san's stories touched my heart. I didn't feel much cold thanks to my outfit of tights under my jeans and a hot pack around my waist.

熟年ですが・・新婚旅行をかねて、マウイ島に行きました。私は13年ぶり、夫は初マウイ。
サンライズか、サンセットかで迷いましたが、三千メートル級の山で、星空もゆっくりと観たかったので、サンセットにしました。

14時半に、ホテル前（カアナパリ）にお迎え。
ラハイナの街を通りながら、お勧めのレストランやギャラリーを教えていただきました。
クリスピードーナツのお店でティータイム後、マカワオの街へ。絵画やガラス創作の個性的ギャラリー、カウボーイ製品の店など散策しました。
クラロッジに立ち寄り、お土産のジャムやココナッツキャンディーをたくさん買いました。ジャムの種類は豊富で、いろいろ味見させていただき、紅茶やハーブ製品もあり・・癒される雰囲気が素敵でした。
ユーカリの爽やかな香りがする林を通り抜けて、高度が増すごとに、周囲の風景も変わってきます。ハレアカラの動植物や聖霊の話を聞きながら、夕刻前には頂上付近に到着しました。
サンセットまで、ハレアカラ高度３０５５ｍからの風景を３６０度眺めました。
望遠鏡からは、ハワイ島キラウエアのスバル展望台も。雲海に沈む夕陽は荘厳で、サンセット後の空雲の変化も美しいものでした。空に映る地球の影（アースシャドウ）も見ることができました。
トイレ休憩、温かい日本食弁当を食べた後、スターゲイジングの始まりです。
見上げた夜空は、キラキラ星というよりも、静かに瞬いている夜空いっぱいの星々でした。
地球の周りには、こんなにもいっぱいの星があるのですね。３千メートル級の高度だかこそ出遭えた夜空だと感じました。天体プラネタリウムを観ながらの、山内さんの星や星座のお話はわかりやすく、宇宙の神秘を感じました。

ゴールデンウィーク前で、夫婦二人の参加というのもラッキーだったのでしょうが・・ハレアカラ＋αの楽しみがあり、山内さんのお話も心に染みました。
ジーンズ下にタイツ・腰にホッカイロの装備で、寒さはあまり感じませんでした。

This was my first visit to Hana on my seventh trip to Maui. I had heard about it, but it truly is a wonderful place. The road to get there is quite challenging if you're driving a rental car, so I recommend joining a tour. Although there was no Japanese-speaking guide on the tour, I realized that some experiences are beyond words. My husband and I participated, along with a newlywed American couple, making four participants in total. I was worried about the narrow and steep road with many hairpin turns, especially since my husband is sensitive to car rides, but we enjoyed a comfortable drive in a limousine. We were told in advance to wear swimsuits, but there was no swimming. I wondered why, but later learned the reason. I won't write it here as I want it to be a surprise for those who participate. We had a delicious lunch, homemade cookies, a beautiful driver and guide, and enjoyed not only the stunning scenery but also a wonderful day.

After this, something strange happened. When I returned to Japan, I noticed something unusual in the photos I took with my digital camera. If anyone who participated in this tour has had the same experience (regarding the photos), please share your story. It might just be my imagination, so I’ll hold off on writing about it for now. Next time I go to Maui, I want to join this tour again to confirm it.

Maui is a fantastic place with many sights to see. If you have the time, I highly recommend visiting Hana. You will understand why it is said to be "the closest place to heaven." There is untouched, beautiful nature here.

マウイ7回目にして初めて訪れたハナ。
話には聞いていたけど、本当に素晴らしい所です。レンタカーで行くには、大変な道なので、ツアーの参加をお薦めします。日本語ガイドのいないツアーなので、内心、不安もあったのですが、素晴らしいものに言葉はいらないと実感しました。私は夫と二人で参加、一組のアメリカ人の新婚カップルとで4人の参加者でした。片道3時間位の細く険しい道でヘアピンカーブも多く車に弱い夫と一緒だったので心配していたのですが、乗り心地のよいリムジンで、道中心地良いドライブを満喫させていただきました。事前に水着着用と言われていたのに、海水浴はありません。ど~して？と思っていたのですが、後で、そのわけを知りました。あえて、ここに書きません。参加するときのお楽しみとしたいと思います。美味しいランチ、ホームメイドのクッキー、美人のドライバー兼ガイドさん、美しい風景だけでなく、素敵な一日を過ごさせていただきました。
このあと、不思議なことがありました。
　日本に戻ってデジカメで撮った写真に不思議なものが写っているのがわかったのです。もし、このツアーに参加されたかたで、私と同じ体験（写真のことです）をされたかたがみえたら、体験談で紹介してください。私の思い過ごしなのかもしれないので、今書くのはやめておきます。今度マウイへ行ったら、もう一度、このツアーに参加し、確認したいと思っています。
　マウイは素晴らしいところで、観光するところが沢山あります。もし、時間がゆるされるのであれば、一度ハナを訪れてください。「いちばん天国に近い地」と言われる所以がよくわかると思います。手付かずの美しい自然がここにあります。
　
　

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I've been to Maui seven times. I love Maui, and I’m currently a 53-year-old lady. Since my third trip, I've enjoyed horseback riding. This time, I visited Mendes Ranch for the first time, and I think it was the best ranch I've been to so far. The difference from other ranches is, without a doubt, the amazing views. It's a shame I can't show you photos because I'm not good with computers. You don't need to worry at all if you can't speak English. The staff at the ranch are very kind and teach us how to ride in a way that we can understand, even without English. The food was also very delicious; we had barbecue beef and chicken. I had never seen Mendes Ranch mentioned in Japanese guidebooks, but it was far more wonderful than the other ranches listed in guidebooks. Since there was no shuttle service, we used a rental car to get there. I found the location a bit tricky to navigate, but if you allow enough time, I think it won't be a problem. The horses are well-trained, so there are no safety issues, and even complete beginners will be fine. You can see all the beautiful sea, mountains, and valleys of Maui. I highly recommend this activity. My husband and I participated together, and on another day, my newlywed daughter and her husband joined, and they were thrilled, saying it was a wonderful honeymoon.

8度目のハワイ旅行。その内の7回はマウイです。マウイ大好きの私、現在、53歳のオバチャンです。3度目の旅行から、乗馬を楽しんできました。今回参加したメンデス牧場は初めて訪れたのですが、今まで参加した牧場の中で、一番素晴らしいと思いました。他の牧場との相違は、なんと言っても、眺めの素晴らしさです。パソコンが苦手で写真をお見せできないのが残念です。英語が話せなくても、全く心配はいりません。牧場の人も大変親切で、英語のできない私たちにもわかるように、乗り方を教えてくださいます。また、食事も、とっても美味しく、ビーフとチキンのバーベキューでした。日本のガイドブックでは掲載されてるのを見たことのなかったメンデス牧場ですが、ガイドブックに掲載されている他の牧場とは、比較にならないくらい素晴らしかったです。送迎がないので、レンタカーを利用して行きました。少し地理的に分かりにくく感じたのですが、時間的に余裕をもって行けば、問題ないと思います。また、馬がよく調教されていますので、安全面でも問題ないし、全くの初心者であっても大丈夫です。マウイの美しい海、山、渓谷すべて見ることができます。是非、お薦めしたいアクティビティです。私は夫と二人で参加、別の日に新婚の娘夫婦が参加したのですが、娘たちは、素晴らしいハネムーンになったと喜んでいました。

This was alot of fun and very strage tubing through tunnels. But don't mention the word "cold"!

The tour I wanted to participate in the most on the Big Island was the one to the summit of Mauna Kea. I was really torn between the sunset and sunrise options, but I chose the sunset tour. Although the sunrise option was tempting, I thought that after overcoming jet lag, waking up in the middle of the night might disrupt my health, so I opted for the sunset.

The Mauna Kea Observatory has cutting-edge telescopes, including Japan's Subaru Telescope. It's made by Mitsubishi Electric, and I was impressed by the technological prowess of Japanese electronics manufacturers. And the sunset—followed by a sky full of stars. The starry sky is like a natural planetarium! It’s truly natural, and the stars look incredibly close. They provide detailed explanations using something like a laser pointer.

ハワイ島で一番参加したかったツアーがマウナケア山頂に行くツアーでした。サンセットかサンライズかめちゃくちゃ悩みましたが、サンセットのツアーを選択しました。サンライズも捨てがたいのですが、時差ボケを解消したと思ったら、夜中に起床ということで体調をくずしそうなのでサンセットを選択しました。
　マウナケアの天文台は世界最先端の望遠鏡が目白押しで、日本の「すばる」望遠鏡もここにあります。三菱電機製の望遠鏡ということです。日本の電機メーカーの技術力もすごいな・・・と感心です。そしてサンセット~満点の星空。星空はまるで天然プラネタリウム！　というか天然なんだが、メチャクチャ星が近くに見えます。レーザーポインターのようなもので詳しく解説してもらえます。

Our tour guide Matias (sp?) was amazing. He knew so much about the wildlife, the plants and everything else we saw, and was very helpful in keeping us all safe on our adventure. The tour was great and I would definitely do it again. Fantastic value for the money.

I had such a great time on the Safari tour. I had Alex, Maggie and Adrienne as my tour guides and they were FANTASTIC! Our group laughed so much and I felt really safe having Alex and Adrienne there to explain what we were supposed to do during the zipline and jumping off Kipu falls. I had a blast and was totally pumped up after I left for the rest of the day. I would recommend this tour to everyone who's going to Kauai!

Thanks so much for the fabulous adventure!

I read other companies' experiences and was worried, so I opted for Japanese support. The explanations were clear with videos, and the foreign staff who flew with us were very accommodating, making it a wonderful memory. It was the best skydiving experience that blew away my fear of flying. I want to do it again and again. There was a Japanese lady who provided video explanations, but she didn't smile at all and seemed a bit angry, which was a minor downside; otherwise, there were no issues. I didn't bring any money, so I couldn't take videos or photos, but I definitely recommend getting them even if they are expensive. 😊

体験談など他社のも読みまして心配だったため日本語対応にしました。
説明もビデオでわかりやすく、一緒に飛んでくれる外人さんも対応良く、すばらしくぃぃ思い出になりました。
飛ぶ恐さも吹き飛ぶくらい最高のスカイダイビングでした。
何回も繰り返したいくらい。
日本人のおばさんがビデオ説明までしてくれるのですがその方が一切笑顔なしで怒った感じの対応がちょっと難点なくらいで何も問題ありませんでした。
お金を持っていってなかったのでビデオも写真も撮れなかったのですが絶対高くても撮った方がオススメです＾＾

It was a wonderful place filled with greenery! Since there are many steep slopes, the horseback riding tour is not only less burdensome but also incredibly fun!

At one point, I closed my eyes and imagined the everyday scenes of Japan, and when I opened my eyes again, the view was nothing short of breathtaking!

At various points, the horses stopped properly, allowing us to enjoy the scenery. I had a hard time finding horseback riding activities on Maui, but I'm glad I participated!

Experiencing the natural scenery through horseback riding is highly recommended! ☆

みどり溢れるすばらしい場所でした！
急な勾配だらけなので、馬に乗ってのツアーは負担が少ないうえ、なによりも楽しい！

途中でふと日本の日常の光景を思い浮かべて目をつむってみて、ふたたび目を開けたときの光景は感動的という以外のなにものでもありませんでした！

ポイントポイントではちゃんと馬も止まって、その景色を楽しむことが出来ました。マウイ島で乗馬のアクティビティがなかなか見つけられなかったのですが、参加できてよかったです！

自然の光景を乗馬でさらに体感できるなんて、お薦めです☆

This was my second time going to Mauna Kea, and I absolutely recommend participating if you visit the Big Island.

I had previously joined a different tour company, but this one had tastier bento and the provided cold-weather gear was thick and sturdy.

I participated in the summer (July) last time and this time in the winter (March). Last time, I was amazed by the starry sky and multiple satellites, and I definitely wanted to see it again, which is why I chose the Big Island for my honeymoon. This time, the constellations I could see were different, which was interesting. However, when the moon is out, fewer stars are visible, so it's better to choose your participation date wisely.

I plan to participate again.

マウナケアに行くのは２度目でしたが、ハワイ島に行ったら絶対に参加することをオススメします。

以前違うツアー会社に参加したことがありますが、そちらよりもお弁当もおいしく、貸し出される防寒着も分厚いしっかりとしたものでした。

以前は夏季(７月)に参加し、今回は冬季(３月)に参加しました。
前回は満天の星空と複数の人口衛星に感動し、絶対もう一度見たいと思い、新婚旅行はハワイ島を選びました。
今回では見える星座も違い、おもしろかったです。ただ月がでていると見える星が減るので、参加する日は選んだ方がベターです。

また参加するつもりでいます。

I participated on May 1st. There was a little gas, but there was almost no wind, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful sunset and starry sky. The explanations about the stars from the guides, Shinya and Yama, were also enjoyable, and I was very satisfied. Next time, I definitely want to bring my parents and participate again. Thank you very much.

5月1日に参加しました。
少しガスは出ていましたが、風がほとんど無く、すばらしい夕日と星空を満喫できました。
ガイドのしんやさんと山さんの星の解説も楽しく、大満足でした。
今度はぜひ親たちを連れてまた参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

I recommend this for those who have visited Manoa Falls as mentioned in the guidebook and felt they could walk more or want a bit more adventure!

There were seven participants, including myself. Three were solo travelers, one couple, and one married couple, all from the mainland United States. The guide primarily spoke English but also shared a little bit of Japanese. I think even those who don't understand English at all will be fine. Rather, we were walking quite a bit, so there wasn't much opportunity for conversation during the hike.

It felt more like trekking off the beaten path than I expected, so I think it's better to wear trekking shoes or change into borrowed rubber boots. I went in short sleeves and shorts, but even with insect repellent, I still got bitten (the swelling went down quickly♪), so I recommend long pants for those who are prone to mosquito bites. As for belongings, everything was fine as listed.

ガイドブックに載っているマノアの滝に行った方で、歩き足りなかった方やもう少し冒険したい方にオススメです！

参加者は私を含め７名でした。一人参加が３名、カップル１組、ご夫婦１組で、全員アメリカ本土からの方でした。ガイドは基本的に英語ですが、ほんの少し知ってる日本語を披露してくれました。全く英語がわからない方でも平気だと思います。とゆうより、かなり頑張って歩くので移動中はみんな話す余裕はなかったです。

思ったより道なき道を進む感じで、トレッキングシューズを履いていくか、長靴が借りられるので履き替えた方がよいと思います。半袖＆ハーフパンツで行きましたが、虫除けスプレーをしても刺されてしまったので（すぐ腫れは引きました♪）、蚊に刺されやすい方は長ズボンをお勧めします。持ち物などは、記載された通りで平気でした。

I participated in April.
The distance from the hotel to Mauna Kea was quite far, but I had a fun journey chatting with a woman I met in the same group as our guide, Mino. (A.T, please contact me as I will be an email error.)
First, we ate our lunch at the Onizuka Visitor Center and observed a plant called silver sword until departure.
It was silver and incredibly beautiful.
Due to strong winds posing a risk of road closure, we departed a bit earlier than planned.
We safely made it to the summit.
At the summit, it was colder than I imagined due to the strong winds, with temperatures below freezing.
I had brought a thermal shirt, T-shirt, sweater, and hand warmers, but it was still cold!
Based on my experience, I recommend bringing the following for those who will go:
- A mask and goggles, as strong winds can blow sand into your mouth and eyes.
- They provide gloves, but they are a bit thin, so bring an extra pair. For those taking photos, thin surgical-like rubber (vinyl) gloves are less cumbersome.
In any case, I recommend layering as much as possible because it’s really cold.
But it’s worth enduring the cold! The sunset was incredibly beautiful.
To avoid the strong winds, we descended to the area near the Onizuka Visitor Center to observe the starry sky, so it wasn’t cold there.
The first thing I said when I got out of the car was, “Wow, amazing!”
I saw a sky full of stars like I’ve never seen before in my life.
There were even shooting stars, but I didn’t have time to make a wish.
I truly had a precious experience!

４月に参加しました。
ホテルからマウナケアまでは結構距離がありましたが、
ガイドのミノさんと同じグループで知り合った１人参加の女性とおしゃべりしていて楽しい道中でした。（A.Tさんﾒﾙｱﾄﾞｴﾗｰになるので連絡下さい）
まずオニヅカビジターセンターでお弁当を食べて、出発まで銀剣草という植物を観察しました。
銀色ですっごく綺麗でした。
この日は強風でロードクローズされる危険があるということで予定より少し早めに出発。
無事、山頂まで上がれました。
山頂は強風の為、想像以上に寒くマイナス気温でした。
ババシャツ、Ｔシャツ、セーター、ホカロンを用意していったけどそれでも寒かった~！
そこで私の経験を元にこれから行く方に以下のものの持参をオススメします！
？風が強いと口の中や目に砂が入るので、マスクとゴーグル。
？手袋を貸してくれますが少し薄手なのでもう１枚手袋。写真を撮る方は手袋が邪魔なので、手術用みたいな薄いゴム(ビニール）手袋。
とにかく寒いので出来る限り重ね着をオススメします。
でも寒さに耐える価値はあり！夕陽とっても綺麗でした。
星空は強風を避けてオニヅカビジターセンター付近まで下りて観測したので寒くなかったです。
車から降りて第一声が「わ~すごい！」
本当に満点の星で生まれて初めてあんな大量の星を見ました。
しかも流れ星まで。願い事は間に合いませんでしたが。
本当に貴重な体験をさせていただきました！　　

I previously heard about Subaru in Oahu and wanted to see it with my own eyes, so I participated. I was moved by the stunning sunset and stars, which were beyond my imagination. Our guide, Shinya, was friendly, and the restaurant and snorkeling spots in Kailua-Kona that he recommended were great, especially since we got to see turtles.

以前、すばるの話をオアフで聞き１度は自分の目で見てみたいと思い参加しました。想像以上に素晴らしい夕景と星に感動しました。ガイドのしんやさんも気さくで教えてもらったカイルアコナのレストランやシュノーケルポイントも亀に会えるし良かったです。

THE 2 HOUR TOUR IS DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED! YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR : )

MY HUSBAND AND I HAD A LOT OF FUN IN THE 2 HOUR TOUR.
IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE, THE VIEWS WERE GREAT.
THE ATV'S WERE SUPER FUN TO DRIVE!

TOWARDS THE END OF THE TOUR, THEY TOOK US FOR A SWEEET RIDE.... IT WAS GOOD TIMES!

WE WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK!

This was my absolute favorite activity that I did in Hawaii. My husband and I were there for two weeks and did a lot and the ATV tour was by FAR our favorite.

The views from valley were unlike anything I had ever seen. If your looking for something to take your breath away Kualoa Ranch is where it's at. While there it was raining, which made it more fun. On that side of the island it rains a bit so be prepared for it. I believe they have ponchos there if you want them. But my hubby and I didn't and we got soaked which was fine by us.

Driving around in the ATVs was exciting. It was my hubby's first time riding one and he had a little trouble. But the instructors were friendly and took him under their wing a bit. After the two hours of amazing views and seeing all the wildlife they took us too a little field and let just drive around which was a lot of fun.

I will do this again on my next trip for sure.

I wanted to enjoy the sea, sky, nature, and the happy, rich atmosphere of Hawaii, so I signed up for this tour.

I strolled through a lush tropical rainforest that far exceeded my expectations, and it made me feel incredibly rich in spirit.

The rainforest offers various beautiful sights, and it's truly enjoyable. In addition to shopping, spa treatments, and ocean activities, please make sure to savor this abundant nature!

After such a hike, there's the downhill. You can really run down a scenic slope with a great feeling. We take a lunch break in the middle of the downhill, and the view of Waikiki from there is absolutely amazing.

All the necessary equipment for the hiking and downhill activities is provided by the tour company, so you can feel at ease.

I highly encourage everyone to experience this!

ハワイの海、空、自然、幸せで豊かな空気感を満喫したいと思い、今回はこのツアーに申し込みました。

想像をはるかに上回るほどの豊かな熱帯雨林を散策し、
とても豊かな気持ちになりました。

熱帯雨林の中にはいろいろな景色があり本当に楽しめます。
お買い物や、エステ、海のアクティビティだけではなく是非この豊かな自然を満喫してみてください！

そしてそんなハイキングの後の、ダウンヒル。
本当に景色のよい坂道を気持ちよく駆け下りることが出来ます。
ダウンヒルの中盤でランチタイムをとるのですがそこから見るワイキキの景色は本当に最高です。

ハイキング、ダウンヒルともアクティビティ参加に必要な機材はすべてツアー会社が用意してくれますので安心です。

是非皆様も体験してみてください。

This was our first time in Maui. It was a bit nerve-wracking since it was our first overseas trip with our 3-year-old child! I was wondering if the "Haleakalā Star Tour" would be suitable for kids, but since it was our special trip to Maui, we really wanted to see the beautiful sunset and starry sky, so we decided to participate!

On the day of the tour, my daughter was so happy with the very kind Mr. Yamauchi! During the drive, when Mr. Yamauchi mentioned, "Sometimes you can see whales around here," my daughter kept asking, "Whales? Whales?" Then Mr. Yamauchi stopped at a spot where we might see whales and helped us look through the binoculars! I was truly moved by Mr. Yamauchi's thoughtfulness!!!

With that kind of experience, we were able to enjoy the wonderful sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā while feeling Mr. Yamauchi's interesting talk and kindness from start to finish. Our first trip to Maui became a very special memory! Thank you so much!

私たちは今回初めてのマウイでした。
３歳になる子供を連れての初めての海外旅行だったのでちょっとドキドキでした！
「ハレアカラの星ツアー」も子供連れで大丈夫かなぁと思いながらも私たちがせっかくのマウイなのでぜひきれいなサンセット＆星空を見てみたいと思って参加しました！

当日！とっても優しい山内さんに娘もうれしそうでした！
ドライブ途中に山内さんが「このへんではクジラが見えるときがあるんです。」の一言に「クジラは？クジラは？」とずっと聞き続けていた娘。
すると山内さんは途中で止まってクジラが見えそうなところに双眼鏡を合わせてくれました！本当に山内さんのお気遣いに涙しそうでした！！！

そんな感じで最初から最後まで山内さんのおもしろトークと優しさをひしひしと感じながらハレアカラの素晴らしいサンセット＆星空を見ることができて初マウイはとてもいい思い出になりました！本当にありがとうございました！

I was moved by the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea and the starry sky. We visited the Big Island to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, and I was very satisfied with this tour. Our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, provided explanations with humor, making the day feel timeless. I appreciate all the thoughtful gestures. I felt safe participating.

When I visit the Big Island again, I would like to join this tour once more. Thank you very much. As a reference, the use of a hot pack improved the battery life of my digital camera. Also, I was glad I brought a neck warmer.

マウナケア山頂サンセットと満天の星空に感動しました。
結婚30年記念でハワイ島を訪れて、今回このツアーに参加して大満足でした。ガイドの山本さんにはユーモアを交えた説明で時間を感じない1日でした。いろいろと気配りもしていただき感謝しています。安心して参加できました。
また、ハワイ島を訪れた際には、また参加したいと思っています。ありがとうございました。参考までに、ホッカイロで
デジカメのバッテリー低下が改善されました。また、ネックウォーマーも持参して良かったです。

The sunset was beautiful♪ There was snow too♪ But it was incredibly cold~
The sand was blowing up, making my ears and mouth gritty!
It was so windy that we had to stick together, or we felt like we would be blown away, and our faces hurt!
Oh, and the lid of the bento (with tonkatsu, yakisoba, and rice) flew off, and the miso soup got cold quickly if you didn't drink it fast! Since dinner is early, it's better to prepare something to eat when you get back! By the time we returned, room service had already ended, and we ended up getting two sandwich boxes (clubhouse sandwiches) for free from the hotel staff (which was a lifesaver).
And they were delicious.
I tried raw cauliflower and broccoli for the first time!

As a thank you, I gave them a Japanese hand towel.

I saw the silver sword grass. (So happy)
Stargazing wasn't cold at all.
It was breathtaking♪
I even spotted the movement of satellites with the naked eye!
The Milky Way, Saturn's rings, and a sky full of stars★☆
You should definitely go and see it at least once!

夕日キレイー♪雪もあった♪しかしウンガー寒かったあ~
砂が舞い上がって耳や口がジャリジャリだあー
二人でくっついてないと飛ばされる程で顔が痛かった！
そうそう、お弁当（トンカツと焼きソバにライス）の蓋は飛ぶし味噌汁は速く飲まないと冷えるよ！早い時間の夕食なので帰ってから食べるもの用意した方が良いですヨ！帰る頃はルームサービスも終わっていて
うちらはホテルの従業員用の
サンドイッチボックス２個（クラブハウスサンド）をタダでもらっちゃいました（助かった）
またこれが美味しかった。
生のカリフラワー・ブロッコリーはじめて食べた！

お礼に日本のタオル手拭いを差し上げました。

銀剣草見れた。（嬉しい）
星空観測は寒くないよ
感激です♪
肉眼で人工衛星の移動も確認できた！
天の川、土星のリング、空一面の星★☆
一度は行って見るべきです！
