Hawaii
It was great that our driver and tour guide, Kouki, explained everything in both Japanese and English. At the visitor center, it was unexpected that we might not be able to reach the summit due to the fog, but I was happy that we were able to pass through safely.
The sunset view from the summit was incredibly beautiful, and it was moving to witness the moment the sun went down. After descending a bit from the summit, we enjoyed stargazing. The sky was a mix of clouds and clear patches, but the starry sky when there were no clouds was stunning. The guide also explained the constellations, allowing us to have a fulfilling time.
Lastly, sharing the photos taken at the summit with the sunset and the ones with the starry sky in the background (which the guide took with a proper camera) became wonderful memories of this trip!
ドライバー兼ツアーガイドのコウキさんが日本語と英語で説明をしてくださったのが良かったです。ビジターセンターのところで、霧のせいで道の先が見えなくて山頂に行けないかもってなっちゃったのは想定外でしたが、無事に通過することができ、嬉しかったです。
山頂から見るサンセットはすごく綺麗で、太陽が沈んでいく瞬間を見られたのは感動でした。山頂をしばらく下ったところで星空を鑑賞しました。曇ったり雲がはけたりするような空模様でしたが、雲のない時に見える星空は綺麗でした。また、星座についてガイドさんが解説してくれて、充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
最後に、山頂でサンセットと一緒に撮った写真と星空を背後に撮った写真（ガイドさんがちゃんとしたカメラで撮ってくれたもの)をシェアしていただけたのも、この旅のいい思い出にもなりました！
If you're planning to stay at Outrigger Kona Resort, I recommend designating the pickup location as Target. I was fine with the borrowed winter gear, so I think you don't need to worry too much about
アウトリガーコナリゾートに宿泊予定なら、ピックアップ場所をターゲットに指定することをお勧めします。防寒具はお借りしたもので大丈夫だったので、そこまで防寒具について心配しなくても大丈夫かなと思います。

The flight lesson was an invaluable experience that far exceeded my expectations, and I was completely absorbed in it. At the same time, I learned about the difficulty of flying straight through the air. I was impressed by Captain Nomura's skills, experience, and the number of flights he has completed. Thank you for your support.
I want to fly in the sky again.

I was able to enjoy a fulfilling sightseeing experience as we visited each destination at a good pace! The guide provided valuable knowledge about the places we were passing while driving. The guide also took photos at each destination, creating wonderful memories. The most impressive moment was at the blowhole, where I was very lucky to see a whale jumping in the distance.
それぞれの目的地をテンポよく巡って充実した観光ができました！ガイドさんが運転しながら今通っている場所の知識を教えてくれるのでためになります。ガイドさんが各目的地で写真を撮ってくださり思い出になります。巡った中で一番印象的だったのは潮吹き岩で遠くにクジラがジャンプする姿を見ることができたことでとてもラッキーでした。
I think it's a good idea to get plenty of sleep and take care of your health before participating, as you'll be quite tired from walking a lot at your destinations after climbing Diamond Head in the m

I was a bit anxious since it was an English-speaking driver. It seemed like the meeting point was different, and even after 10 minutes, the driver hadn't arrived. When I tried to contact them, the line was busy. Just when I was starting to think they might not come, the driver called my name loudly, and I was able to get on safely. During the ride, I couldn't understand the announcements at all, and since we were the only Japanese people, I felt a bit isolated, haha. We also received two bottles of mineral water for the round trip! Since it was just a plan to climb, I didn't feel rushed and was able to fully enjoy the scenery and nature. However, I later found out that taking the bus would have been significantly cheaper, which was a good lesson learned.
英語ドライバーという事だったので不安でした。
待ち合わせ場所が違っていたようで10分過ぎても来ず、連絡しても通話中。行けないかもと思っていたらドライバーさんが大きな声で名前を呼んでくれて無事に乗れました。移動中の案内は全くわからず翻訳機能も使えず私たちだけ日本人だったので少し疎外感笑。
ミネラルウォーターも行き帰りで2本いただきました！
登るだけのプランだったので焦ることもなく景色も自然も存分に堪能出来ました。
ただ、バスで行ってたらゼロ一桁安かったと後から知りいい勉強になりました。
It's best to confirm the meeting place thoroughly.

We had a great time as a family of four with our two elementary school children. Both my husband and I took turns driving. If you have a driver's license, it's definitely more fun to drive. I was worried about whether my feet would reach the pedals since I'm 148 cm tall, but as long as I pulled the seatbelt tight and sat a bit lower in the seat, it was totally fine. (I think those of us who are shorter are used to making adjustments like that.)
It would be more enjoyable if you can speak English, as you can communicate with the guide. If you can't understand anything at all, it might be good to let them know or to convey that through your demeanor. During the first break, we all introduced ourselves as a group and were asked where we were from and what our travel goals were. I managed to respond with some words that didn't quite form sentences, but they understood me, although it was a bit nerve-wracking. (laughs)
小学生の子供2人と家族4人で楽しめました。
夫婦ともにドライバーで交代して運転。免許があるなら運転もしたほうが楽しいです。私は身長148cmのため足が届くか心配でしたが、シートベルトをしっかり引っ張り出してシートに浅めに腰掛ければ全然大丈夫でした。(そこらへんの工夫は低身長さんなら色々慣れている範囲内かと思います)
英語は話せた方がガイドさんと話せてより楽しめそうです。聞き取りも全くできない場合は、その旨お伝えしておくか雰囲気出しておくと良いかもしれません。最初の休憩でグループ全体で自己紹介がはじまり、どこから来たかと旅の目的を聞かれました。文章にならない単語でなんとか答えて理解いただけましたが少しドキドキしました。笑

Very fun experience being able to drive the UTV through kualoa ranch! The views were very refreshing to see! Taisha and Q kept the experience full of fun and energy while educating us about the land and culture.
Wear clothes that can get dirty. Thin long sleeves are a great choice as the weather may be warm.
It's powerful and definitely something you should do if you're in Hawaii! Riding around in a buggy is an extraordinary experience, and I think it allows you to enjoy the atmosphere even more.
迫力があって、絶対ハワイにあったら行くべき！バギーで周るってのが非日常的だし、より一層雰囲気を味わえると思う。

The guide takes photos for you during breaks at various points. Since it's electric, going uphill was a breeze. I was moved when I saw cows while going down the slope. The scenery at Kualoa is beautiful and can't be fully captured in photos. You should definitely experience it at least once!
所々で休憩を挟みガイドのかたが写真も撮ってくれます。

It was great that we learned about telescopes while making many unexpected stops along the way. The guide also took photos for us and was very considerate, making the whole experience enjoyable. At the summit, there was a breathtaking view that felt unreal. It's definitely worth a visit! However, since we went on a full moon day, there were fewer stars, which was a bit disappointing, so I would like to go again someday.
予想よりもたくさん寄り道しながら望遠鏡について教えてくれて、とてもよかったです👍
ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれたり、たくさん気遣ってくれて終始楽しく過ごせました😄
頂上では、現実のものとは思えない美しい光景が広がっていて息を飲みました🌄
行く価値ありです‼️
しかし満月の日に行ったので星が少なく少し残念だったので、またいつか行ってみたいです✨

We went horseback riding as a family of three. It was our first time riding in Hawaii, and I was a bit nervous at first, but the local guide was very friendly and kind. We even found some unexpected common interests and hit it off, becoming friends. The long hours of horseback riding were very valuable, as it's not something we can experience much in Japan, so it was a really great experience and we had a lot of fun!
家族3人で乗馬をしました。ハワイでの乗馬は初めてで最初は少し緊張しましたが、現地のガイドの方がとても気さくで優しく、意外な共通点もあったりして、意気投合しお友達になりました。

Each horse has its own personality, so you never know what kind of horse you'll be riding—look forward to it!

I made the reservation based on the recommendation of Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe, and thanks to the prior briefing, the sightseeing went smoothly. The local staff's response was a bit lacking as the acceptance situation changed multiple times before we started, but Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe coordinated everything, so I was able to start with peace of mind. The helicopter tour without doors was amazing!
ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村氏に勧められての予約でしたが事前にレクチャーしてくれたこともありスムーズに観光できました。受入れ状態が二転三転してスタートするまでの現地スタッフの対応はイマイチでしたがそこもボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村氏が取りまとめてくれたので安心してスタート出来ました ドアなしのヘリでの遊覧は最高です

Great course, the waterfall was breathtaking. Overall would do it again!
Gorgeous scenery, the provider has a great route for this excursion! I could dream of these views.
We used our phone flashlights on the way up, it was quite early but still worth it as it is a great way to start the morning.
Our family loved it, as we love the e-bikes to keep the speed up, but get around the park at a good pace!
The Kualoa grounds are breath taking, and the fun added in with the atv was a perfect pair.
A great experience, as they say it is definitely a must do.
You get it all here! It is always nice to get a swim experience more personalized to the tour!!
My wife was worried about the two-hour horseback riding, but she said it was great afterward. It was my first time riding as well, and the staff's support was excellent, making it enjoyable. During the ride, the horse pooped and peed quite dramatically, and we walked among free-range cows, which was an experience you can't have in Japan.
2時間の乗馬を心配していた妻が、乗馬後良かったとの事。小生も初めての乗馬であったが、スタッフのフォローも良く楽しめた。乗馬途中お馬さんがうんこ💩、おしっこを豪快にしたり、放し飼いの牛の間を歩いたりと日本では出来ない経験でした。
After horseback riding, I have to eat lunch within an hour before the bus departs, but there is a long line at the restaurant's ordering window, so I can't find time to eat. If you're going to eat at

My first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii was filled with uncertainties, but it was comfortable. There was a pickup at the hotel and meals included. Considering the cost of living, the price seems reasonable. They accurately took us to several attractions. The highlight was stargazing. The view was truly amazing. It was quite cold, but they provided warm clothing, so you can rest assured about that. English is quite difficult, so a certain level of proficiency is necessary.
初のハワイ島の旅で分からないことだらけでしたが快適でした。ホテルでのピックアップと、お食事付きです。価格は物価を考えれば妥当と思います。いくつかの名所を的確に回ってくれます。ハイライトは星空鑑賞。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。かなり寒いですが防寒具も用意されているのでそこもご安心ください。英語はかなり難しいので、ある程度のごりょくはひつようです。

After arriving from Waikiki, I received explanations about luggage and lockers from the Japanese staff and headed to the reception for each activity. The two-hour horseback riding was very fulfilling, as I could see the ocean and passed very close to a herd of cattle. The gentle ups and downs were quite surprising from atop the horse.
ワイキキから到着後、日本人スタッフの方から手荷物やロッカーなどの説明を受け、各アクティビティの受付に向かいました。2時間の乗馬は海が見えたり、牛の群れのすぐ近くを通ったり、軽いアップダウンも馬の上からだと結構びっくりしたり、とても充実しました。
I had about an hour until the bus back to Waikiki, but after retrieving my luggage from the locker and resting a bit, I ended up waiting in line for just over 30 minutes to buy lunch. It might be a go

Although the clouds and full moon made it difficult to see a beautiful sunset and a starry sky, Yamapi's thoughtfulness and conversation were excellent. I definitely want to try again.

This tour is recommended on dark nights in July and August. Additionally, there is a smoking area at the summit, which is appreciated by smokers, but only if a fire is lit.

This was an absolutely amazing experience and I highly recommend! The view is stunning- truly unbelievable. You feel as if you have been transported to another world.
Tips from someone who has been there-
Dress as if you are visiting a frozen tundra. Its cold.
Take someone you love with you so you have a witness to what you are seeing- this helps to ease your mind from thinking its a dream. You will be in disbelief of the awesome beauty.

I enjoyed a 2-hour horseback riding tour with a group of about five Japanese people and a female staff member. The staff was very cheerful and provided advice in simple Japanese. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time, so we couldn't see the magnificent scenery very well. I definitely want to experience it again when I visit Oahu.
5人ほどの日本人だけのグループで、女性スタッフの方と一緒に2時間の乗馬ツアーを楽しみました。スタッフの方はとても明るく、簡単な日本語も交えてアドバイスをしてくれました。残念だったのは2時間ずっと雨天で雄大な景色があまり見えなかったこと。オアフ島に行ったらぜひまた体験に行きたいです。
They had waterproof jackets available for rent, but my pants and shoes got completely soaked, so I had to buy clothes at the shop and change (it was a bit expensive). It's reassuring to have a raincoa

A packed itinerary with Dole Plantation, horseback riding, and Haleiwa.
The driver was very kind and shared various stories about Hawaii to keep us entertained during the ride.
The horseback riding staff only spoke English, but the driver, who had experience with horses, provided a thorough explanation beforehand, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries.
It was a pleasant time swaying on a smart polo horse while looking at the magnificent ocean of the North Shore.
Haleiwa is larger than I expected, so it might be a good idea to decide in advance where to go.

We we on Kauai 7 years ago and the highlight of that visit was the tubing adventure.
We returned this year and doing it again was a no brainer.
From the pre-adventure information meeting, the ride out to the site ( with excellent information from the guide along the way), the other guides that we met at the site were fun and helpful.
Of course the highlight was the run down the canal on the tubs was great fun.
We had a. Great group of people who all added to the fun, chatting, and yelling along the was( especially when we were in the tunnels.
Lunch hit the spot right we we needed it.
I would not hesitate to do this again when we visit again.
Do not hesitate to do this, it is great fun for all, including seniors.
I participated with my son and wife. They picked us up at the hotel at 2:20 PM. There were two other Americans from Minnesota joining the tour, making a total of five participants. Our guide, James, explained about the Big Island in a mix of Japanese and English while driving. The area near the summit of Mauna Kea felt like a different world, resembling a desert or the moon, and the sunset view from there was amazing. We could see famous facilities like the Subaru Telescope up close, which made me feel the reality of being on the Big Island. Unfortunately, due to being close to a full moon, we couldn't see the Milky Way well during stargazing, but we were able to use the telescope to view Jupiter and the moon. James was always attentive, which made me feel safe participating.
息子と妻と私の３人で参加しました。ホテルに午後２時２０分に迎えに来てくれました。ツアーには他にミネソタからのアメリカ人２名が参加し合計５名の参加者でした。ガイドのジェームズさんは運転しながら日本語交じりの英語でハワイ島について説明してくれました。マウナケア山頂付近は、砂漠のような月のような（？）別世界で、そこから見るサンセットは素晴らしかったです。有名なすばる望遠鏡などの有名な施設がまじかに見られ、ハワイ島にやってきた実感がわきました。星空観測はあいにく満月に近かったため、天の川はよくわかりませんでしたが望遠鏡を使って木星や月を見ることができました。ガイドのジェームズさんには常に気配りをしていただき、安心して参加できました。
I think it's better to plan for the next day with some flexibility, as returning to the hotel around 10 PM can be quite tiring.
ホテルに帰るのが夜10時ころになり、かなり疲れるので翌日は余裕をもった予定にしたほうが良いと思います。

We had a blast exploring the WOH ranch on our ATVs. Be prepared to get covered in dust but the amazing views make it worth it! Our guides were amazing - making sure the whole group was comfortable and having fun. They shared info about the ranch as well as the island. In addition to being great tour guides they had a lot of great suggestions for places to eat and things to see while on the big island.
Bring a change of clothes and your camera!
Waking up early was tough, but it was definitely worth it! At Diamond Head, they lend you hand lights, so you don't need to bring anything. The view from the top was amazing! I also got to see many beautiful sights at the beach and in nature. Jonah shared the scenery, delicious restaurants, and information about Hawaii while driving, making the journey very enjoyable. Haleiwa Town on the North Shore was a great place for shopping at famous stores like Patagonia and enjoying acai bowls, which left me very satisfied! The nuts from the macadamia nut farm were delicious, and before I knew it, I had bought a lot of souvenirs (laughs). At the coffee farm I was aiming for, there were so many coffee beans to choose from that time flew by!
I highly recommend joining the tour for anyone who is considering it!
