Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset Stargazing Tour

Reviewed by: Joan

Our guide, Koki, did a fabulous job with the Sunset photos for each of us at the summit and also a great job getting everyone's photo with the stars. He was an excellent driver and went slowly on the bumpy gravel part of the drive.

Because Koki's Japanese dialect is not something most English speaking people understand, he needs to speak more slowly and distinctly. I had a great deal of trouble understanding him - seems like I could only catch 4 out of every 10 words, and that is not something I expected on this tour. Granted, out of the 10 people, there were 2 Japanese men and Koki spent a lot of time on the way home speaking only to them in Japanese.

So, I had very mixed feelings about this tour. I come to Hawaii at least a couple times a year and I would definitely ask more questions about the guide and his speaking and understanding ability before I take my nest tour.

Most participants were international travelers, but there were hardly any Japanese people on the tour. I worked hard to listen to the English being spoken and realized my lack of language skills. However, I was very satisfied with the tour overall. Although it was a group booking with one vehicle, I learned for the first time that if there are several participants in the group who want to drive, multiple group bookings are necessary, as only two people can drive in one vehicle.

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＞

It was a wonderful experience. 素晴らしい体験でした

Reviewed by: Yoshi

We gathered in the afternoon and made our way to the summit while taking breaks along the way. To avoid altitude sickness, we ascended slowly, and near the top, they flexibly adjusted our location based on the weather and the number of tourists. Although it was almost a full moon, we could see many stars, and the explanation using the telescope was very interesting. Next time, I would like to go during a different season, preferably close to a new moon.

You can borrow a jacket and gloves similar to ski wear, which provides considerable warmth, but it's also good to bring a down inner layer, a hat that covers your ears, and socks that don't expose your ankles. My husband wore down pants as well, so he was even more insulated from the cold.

午後集合．途中で休憩しながら頂上へ．高山病にならないよう，ゆっくりとあがってもらい，頂上付近では，天候や観光客の状況から，柔軟に場所を変えて対応してくれました．ほぼ満月に近い日程でしたが，星はたくさん見えましたし，天体望遠鏡での説明も，興味深かったです．今度は，違う季節で，かつ新月に近い時期に行ってみたいです．
スキーウェアのような上着と手袋をお借りできるので，かなりの防寒になりますが，ダウンのインナー，耳が隠れる帽子，足首が出ない靴下を持っていくとよいです．夫はダウンのパンツも履いたので，さらに寒さ知らずでした．

Beginners can experience this activity at their own level alongside other participants. For over an hour, you will ride slowly while enjoying views of the ocean from Kohala Mountain and Hills, and interacting with the horses. It's truly enjoyable.

I think Japanese visitors might get confused during the initial check-in. This is because the parking gate is closed, and you have to open it yourself and close it again. There is no guidance for this.

First horseback riding experience. 初体験乗馬

It was my first time horseback riding, but the explanation was only about three minutes long in a video. I was quickly put on a horse and we started. It was raining that day, and the horse seemed to have difficulty walking. An instructor was present, but since it was in English, I obviously couldn't understand what they were saying. They were giving various instructions quite loudly. I rode for about two hours straight, and my back and butt hurt, while the instructor was shouting next to me, and I got soaked from the rain. It was truly an exhausting first experience.

初めての乗馬でしたが、説明は動画の3分くらい。すぐ馬に乗せられてスタート。

At the reception, it was almost 100% in English, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that Japanese was hardly understood, but somehow we managed. With our phones, gestures, and broken English, we made it to the buggy ride. With goggles and bandanas, we were ready to go!

The buggy experience, while enjoying the filming spots and the grandeur of Hawaii, was incredibly fun. Unfortunately, the guide's stories at each photo spot seemed very interesting (the foreign guests were laughing and interacting a lot), but they spoke so quickly that our phones were of no help. If we had understood, it would have been 200% more enjoyable. Still, it was nice that the guide made an effort to communicate with us through gestures. Next time, I hope to at least understand some American jokes!

受付からバギーの説明までほぼ英語100パーセントと言っても過言でない程日本語は通じませんでしたが、何とかなるものですね。携帯とジェスチャーとカタコトの英語で何とかバギーに乗るまではたどり着きました。ゴーグルとバンダナでいざ出発！
映画の撮影スポットやハワイの雄大さを満喫しながらのバキー体験は面白さ満点でした。悲しいかな、それぞれの写真スポットでのガイドの方のお話が、とても面白そうなのですが(外国の方はとても笑ってやり取りしていたので)、如何せん早口で携帯などは役にたたず、それが分かったら200パーセント面白かったでしょう。それでも私たち家族を気遣って、ジェスチャーで話しかけてくれるのは嬉しかったです。次回はせめてアメリカンジョークが分かるくらいになって行きたいものです。

The horse was not as skittish as a thoroughbred and was gentle and well-behaved! Although it wasn't very tall, its body was thicker than a thoroughbred's, which made me feel even more like I was abroad! Since I had only experienced British horses, everything felt fresh and new! The instructor was cheerful, kind, beautiful, and really wonderful! The guide was Japanese, very knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly, which made me feel very secure and it was a lot of fun!

If there is enough demand, I would love to see something like "Let's run horses on the beach! (with a pre-lesson)"

Reviewed by: Dan

The sunset disappearing into the sea of clouds was amazing. They had warm clothing available, and the hot cocoa was a nice touch. They also explained the constellations, and we enjoyed stargazing. It's rare to have the opportunity to drive to a place above the sea of clouds like this. I had seen the sea of clouds and sunrise from the summit of Mount Fuji, but my wife has some mobility issues, so I couldn't show her that view. Here, we could drive to the summit, so I was glad I could show her a similar view. However, we were lucky that the weather was good the whole time; I wonder what would have happened if it hadn't been. That's just a matter of luck.

雲海に消えていく夕陽は最高。防寒具も揃っているし、あったかいココアもついていてとても良かった。星座の説明もしてくれてスターゲージングも楽しめた。 雲海の上に車で行ける機会はここを逃すとなかなか無いのではないかな。 自分は富士山の山頂から雲海と日の出を見た事あったけど、妻は足が少し不自由でその景色を見せてあげる事が出来なかった。ここは山頂まで車でいけるから似たような景色を見せてあげることができて良かった。 ただ、運良く天気がずっと良かったけどそうでなかったらどうなっていたか。 こればかりは運次第。

The summit had a snowy landscape, making for a wonderful sunset and starry sky tour that was quite different from my previous experience.

It was raining at the start, so I got completely soaked. It stopped right away, but I think it's better to bring a change of clothes. The horses are used to carrying people, so they walk without disturbing the line too much, even without any intervention. Occasionally, they might stray from the line, but if you pull on the reins, they quickly return to their place. Since I wasn't used to it, my backside was incredibly sore. Still, the two-hour activity flew by. If I have the chance, I would like my grandchildren to experience it as well.

Due to the snow and rain the day before, the summit was closed until 12 PM on the day of departure. It opened just after 12:30 PM, and when I arrived at the meeting point, I met only the guide, George (English), along with 9 other participants, including 2 young women from English-speaking countries. However, the language barrier was manageable; gestures worked well, and we could use translation apps on our phones.

On the way to the sunset, it was raining until we reached the Onizuka Visitor Center, but as we ascended towards the summit, the clouds cleared, and we were able to enjoy the sunset after the snowfall. However, due to the thin air, I felt a bit lightheaded and could only walk slowly. Nevertheless, guide George made sure to engage everyone, taking photos and even building a three-tiered snowman. During the stargazing, he was busy taking pictures and packing up the telescope and tripod in the cold, dark environment, which was impressive. He also prioritized safety while driving.

Thank you for the amazing sunset and stargazing experience. Great job, George!

サンセットの方は、オニヅカビジターセンターまでは雨が降ってましたが、山頂までの道を上がって行くに従い、雲が晴れ雪が降った後のサンセットを楽しむ事が出来ました。しかし空気が薄いせいか、頭がボーっとしてゆっくりしか歩く事が出来ませんでした。しかし、ガイドのジョージさんは全員に声かけをして写真をパチリ、パチリ、3段の雪だるまも作ってくれました。星空観察でも、パチリ、パチリと寒くて、なかなか動けない真っ暗の中天体望遠鏡を片付けたり、写真の三脚を片付けたり、良く、動いていて、感心しました。車の運転も安全第一で任務を遂行していました。
最高のサンセットと星空観測　ありがとうございました。ジョージ、good jobでした。

First horseback riding 初乗馬

Reviewed by: まりも

Since I had never ridden a horse in Japan before, I prepared by watching videos on how to ride and referring to others' experiences.

Points to be careful about:
- A waist bag is fine, but no matter how small, shoulder bags are not allowed (there's a risk of getting caught while passing through trees), so you must use a locker for $5 a day.
- You can attach a small pouch with two pockets to the saddle for drinks and your phone. You can take photos with one hand while riding.
- There are courses for the sea, mountains, and movies, but the sea is just a view from the mountains and you won't be walking on a beach. The movie course doesn't include famous spots like the fallen trees from Jurassic Park, so most of the ride is through the mountains. (That said, the open plains have beautiful scenery...) If you're not someone whose main goal is to ride for a long time, you might be disappointed.
- As for compatibility with the horse? Generally, the horse walks on its own without needing commands, but the horse I rode often stopped, and even when I kicked to signal it to start, it didn't move much, leaving a gap with the others, which made me anxious. It’s suitable for beginners since there’s no running, but experienced riders might find it lacking.

Unexpectedly good points:
- The famous hamburger at Kualoa was surprisingly delicious. The classic burger has two patties, lettuce, tomato, and cheese without any sauce, allowing you to enjoy the natural flavor of the beef, making it the best hamburger I had during my trip to Hawaii. The fries that came with it were not greasy and tasty; it was a bit too much for one person but might be insufficient for two.
- On a day with unstable weather, there was information at check-in that ponchos were available for $7 for those who were worried. Since the rain stopped while we were waiting, I didn't buy one, but riders could borrow a rubber poncho along with helmets and pouches at check-in. It was very helpful when it rained during the ride.
- Some reviews mentioned long waiting times, but we found interesting rooms that explained the history of Kualoa Ranch and photo-worthy spots, so we didn't get bored and the waiting time felt just right. (Riding was from 11:30 to 15:45)

Having watched Jurassic Park beforehand and expecting to see those locations, I was a bit disappointed with the route, but I had fun being able to ride for a long time by myself, which is something you can only experience in Japan by walking for about 10 minutes with the reins pulled. If I have the chance next time, I would like to join the Jurassic Adventure Tour that visits the sets of Jurassic Park.

日本でも乗馬したことがなかったので、事前に乗り方を動画で見る他、他の方の体験談を参考に準備していきました。

気をつける点
・腰に巻くタイプのバッグなら大丈夫ですが、荷物はどんなに小さくてもショルダーバッグはダメ(木々の間を抜けるため引っかかる危険があるため)で、1日5＄のロッカーに入れなくてはなりません。
・馬の鞍にポケットが2つ付いた小物入れを設置でき、飲み物や携帯を入れることができます。携帯は乗馬中に片手でなら撮影可能です。
・海・山・映画コースとありますが、海は山から海が見える程度で砂浜とかを歩く訳でもなく、映画も有名なジュラシックパークの倒木の場所などでもないため、ほとんどが山の中を歩きます。(とはいえ拓けた平原などはキレイな景色ですが…)あくまでも長時間乗馬をすることが目的の人じゃないとガッカリするかもしれません。
・馬との相性？なのか基本的には指示しなくても勝手に歩いてくれますが、私の乗った馬は途中で止まってしまうことが多く、お腹を蹴るスタートの合図をしても中々進んでくれず前の方と間が空いてしまうことが多く焦りました。走ることはないため、初心者には向いていますが経験者には物足りないと感じるかもしれません。

予想外に良かった点
・クアロアで有名なハンバーガーは予想以上に美味しかったです。クラシックバーガーはパテ2枚・レタス・トマト・チーズのみでソースがかかっていないため、牛本来の味が楽しめハワイ旅行で1番美味しかったハンバーガーとなりました。付け合せで付いているポテトも油っこくなく美味しく、1人では多いけど2人だと物足りないかな？くらいの量でした。
・天気が不安定な日で、チェックイン時に不安な人は7＄でポンチョが売っているとの案内がありました。待機中に雨が止んだため買わなかったのですが、乗馬の人は受付時にヘルメット・小物入れの他にゴム製のポンチョを借りることが出来ました。乗馬中に降られたのでとても助かりました。
・待機時間が長いとの感想がありましたが、お土産屋さんのほかにもクアロアランチの歴史がわかるお部屋があったり写真映えするポイントがあったりと、私たちは退屈することなくちょうどいいくらいの待機時間でした。(乗馬11:30~、帰り15:45)

事前にジュラシックパークを見てここに行くんだと期待してしまったため、ルートには少しガッカリしましたが、日本では手綱を引かれて10分歩く位しか体験出来ない所を自分1人で長時間乗馬することができて楽しかったです。次回があればジュラシックアドベンチャーツアーというジュラシックパークのセットを巡るツアーに参加したいと思いました。
