Hawaii
I was nervous until I joined, but the video explanation in Japanese and having instructors at the front and back made me feel at ease. It was a bit funny that everyone was called by their horse's name during the ride. The horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front without breaking the line, so I didn't have to worry much about handling the reins. After about the first five minutes, my tension eased, and I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery. It was an extraordinary experience, like stepping into a movie. Thank you for the wonderful program; I would love to participate again!
参加するまでは緊張していたのですが、日本語でのビデオ説明や、先頭と一番後方にインストラクターが付いてくれるので安心できました。乗馬中はお馬さんの名前で皆さん呼ばれていたのがちょっと面白かったです。お馬さんもよく調教されていて、決して列を乱すことなく前を歩くお馬さんの後に勝手に付いて行ってくれたので、心配していた綱捌きが必要な場面はあまりありませんでした。最初の5分程度で緊張感もほどけて、あとは雄大な景色を満喫。映画の中に入り込んだような非日常の体験を得られました。素敵なプログラムをありがとうございました、また参加したいです!
While riding, there is a protrusion called a horn that you can grab onto to maintain your balance. There is a small, simple bag that can be hooked onto it and hung down on either side, so it's recomme
乗馬中、手で掴んでバランスをとるホーンと呼ばれる突起があるのですが、そこに引っ掛けて左右に垂らすことができる簡易的な小さなバッグがある程度ですので、荷物はスマホくらいがおすすめです。
I was healed by the vast nature and the cuteness of the horses. The staff accompanying the horseback riding tour spoke the necessary Japanese, making the instructions easy to understand. After arriving, I had some time before check-in, so I brought breakfast and ate it. The driver was very talkative in the car early in the morning, which was a bit annoying.
広大な自然と、馬のかわいさに癒された。乗馬ツアーの同行スタッフは必要な日本語が話せるため、なんの指示か分かりやすい。到着後、チェックインまで時間があるので朝ごはんを持って行って食べた。ドライバーは早朝なのに車の中でずっとしゃべりっぱなしでうるさかった。
The café at Kualoa Ranch was just okay in terms of taste, so it's better to either bring your own lunch or eat after returning to Honolulu.
クアロアランチのカフェは味はまぁまぁだったから、昼ごはんは持って行くか、ホノルルに戻ってから食べるのがいい。
Although there were concerns about the weather, the summit was clear, and both the sunset and starry sky were incredibly beautiful and amazing. The guide's explanations were also thorough and easy to understand.
天気が心配されましたが、山頂は晴れていて夕日も星空も大変綺麗で最高でした。
ガイドさんの説明も丁寧でわかりやすかったです
I participated in the sunset and stargazing tour at the summit of Mauna Kea, and it was truly a satisfying experience. The weather was perfect that day, and the sunset from the summit was breathtakingly beautiful. Furthermore, at night, we were able to see a sky full of stars, making it an unforgettable time.
Above all, our guide, James, was absolutely wonderful. His talk was very enjoyable, and he kept the atmosphere light and cheerful throughout the tour. The summit was quite cold, but I was really grateful for the coat rental and the provision of warm cocoa.
Additionally, he was always considerate of the participants' well-being during the drive, frequently checking in on bathroom breaks, which was a thoughtful touch. His driving was very careful, and even though it was a mountain road, I felt safe and didn't experience any motion sickness.
Thank you for the amazing experience. I'm really glad I chose this tour!
マウナケア山頂の夕陽&星空観測ツアーに参加しましたが、本当に大満足の体験でした。
当日は天気にも恵まれ、山頂からの夕陽は息をのむ美しさ。さらに夜は満天の星空を見ることができ、忘れられない時間になりました。
そして何より、ガイドのJamesさんが本当に素晴らしかったです。
トークもとても楽しく、終始場を和ませてくれました。山頂はとても寒いですが、コートの貸し出しや温かいココアの用意までしてくださり、本当にありがたかったです。
また、運転中も常に参加者の体調を気遣い、こまめにトイレ休憩の確認をしてくれるなど細やかな配慮が印象的でした。運転もとても丁寧で、山道でしたが車酔いすることなく安心して過ごせました。
素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。
このツアーを選んで本当によかったです!
My husband and I took the ATV tour between rain storms last week. I think that made it extra special because of all the water we drove through. Our tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They kept the tour fun and safe for all. The history behind Kipu Ranch and the many movies and TV shows filmed there was very interesting. The waterfall was very nice even though the pool below was muddy from all of the recent rain. I would highly recommend this tour. Even in our early 70's, we easily drove even the roughest terrain in the very comfortable and save Kawasaki ATVs!
Wear dark or throw away clothing. The red mud stains everything. Sunglasses are a plus.
I participated in this tour with my parents in November 2025. On the same day, there was an American couple who joined us, and our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, provided thorough explanations in both English and Japanese. He shared various sightseeing information about Maui, and we visited some recommended restaurants during our stay afterward. The views and the food were both very delicious, and we were quite satisfied. It was helpful to hear so much information!
We stopped at a supermarket to buy dinner, and the poke there was incredibly tasty. I definitely recommend purchasing it as Mr. Yamauchi suggested. You won't be disappointed.
And then there was Haleakalā. I was completely overwhelmed by the breathtaking nature. From above the clouds, overlooking all of Maui, I was enveloped in emotion as I watched the beautiful sunset, the island gradually fading into twilight, and the sparkling lights of the town. Unfortunately, the starry sky was obscured by thin clouds, so I couldn't see it clearly, but I did get to look at various planets through an impressive telescope. I could see Saturn quite well.
I have an iPhone 11, and its camera isn't very good, but Mr. Yamauchi took photos with his high-performance phone and shared them with me via AirDrop. He took many other pictures as well, allowing us to capture wonderful family memories. I was truly happy about that.
On the way back, we got excited talking about Southern music, and he played some Southern music in the car, which made both of my parents very happy. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness. When we talked about hula, he showed us various videos, which made me happy.
Overall, it was a tour with no complaints. I'm glad I participated in the tour. It was a lot of fun, and I was very, very happy to see my parents' joyful faces.
2025年11月にこちらのツアーで両親と三人で参加しました。同日、アメリカ人のカップルが一緒に参加されていましたが、ガイドの山内さんは英語と日本語両方でしっかりとご説明くださいました。マウイ島の観光情報について色々と教えてくださり、翌日以降の滞在でおすすめのレストランに行ったのですが、ヴューもご飯もとても美味しく満足でした。いろんな情報が聞けて助かりました!
途中寄ったスーパーで夕食を購入したのですが、そこのスーパーのPokeがとても美味しかったです。ぜひ山内さんのおすすめ通りに購入してみてください。外れません。
そしてハレアカラ。言わずもがなの自然に圧倒されっぱなしでした。マウイ島を一望できる雲海の上で、美しい夕日とと夕闇に染まりゆく島、そして街の煌びやかな明かりを目にして、じわりと感動に包まれました。星空は残念ながら薄雲がかかって綺麗に見ることはできなかったのですが、いかにも凄そうな望遠鏡でいろんな惑星を見ました。土星もしっかり見えました。
私の携帯はiPhone11でカメラ機能はあまり良くはないのですが、山内さんご自身の高性能の携帯カメラで撮ってくださり、それをAirDropで共有してくださいました。他にも写真をいっぱい撮ってくれて、素敵な家族写真を思い出に残すことができました。ほんとうに嬉しかったです。
帰りにはサザンの話で両親と盛り上がって、車内ではサザンの音楽をかけてくださって、二人ともとても大喜びでした。お気遣いをほんとうにありがとうございました。フラの話をした時には、いろんな動画を見せてくださって、嬉しかったです。
全体として文句のつけどころがないツアーでした。ツアーに参加して良かったです。とても楽しかったですし、両親の喜ぶ顔が見られてとてもとてもうれしかったです。
Considering the weather, it's recommended to participate on the first day. There is a backup in case the stars are not visible. If you tend to get cold, it might be a good idea to bring a light down j
天候のことを考えると初日に参加するのがおすすめです。もし星が見れなかった時のカバーがあるので。
もし寒がりなら薄いダウンやセーターを持って行ったほうがいいかもです。ハレアカラはすごく冷えました。
We did the 2 hour UTV tour with a family of four. This was our favorite thing we did. Get a little bit of movie history, a lot of nature, and some light thrills. Ben was our guide and was amazing. He mad the experience so fun and memorable. We had some intermittent rain on our day and it was still amazing. I could not recommend this place more.
I climbed Diamond Head for the first time, and it was a great experience. They picked me up early in the morning while it was still dark. They also accommodated my personal requests on the way back.
始めてダイヤモンドヘッドに登ったが良い体験となった
早朝、まだ暗いうちにピックアップ
帰りに個人的なリクエストにもこたえてくれた
It was a wonderful experience. I heard that the wind was strong and flights were canceled until a few days ago, so I was lucky. The pilot and the other staff were friendly, and both the scenery and the flight were amazing!
素晴らしい体験でした。数日前まで風が強く飛ばなかったそうなので、ラッキーでした。パイロットもその他のスタッフも感じが良く
、景色も飛行も最高でした!
My husband was scared before getting on, but I think there's nothing to worry about.
主人は乗る前怖がっていましたが、何の心配もいらないと思います。
The sunset at the summit and the stargazing at the halfway point were both breathtaking, and I had a wonderful experience. I appreciated the flexibility in changing both the pickup and drop-off locations. I'm glad I participated!
サミットでの夕日も途中地点の星空鑑賞も絶景で、とても素敵な体験をすることができました。ピックアップ場所とドロップオフの場所をそれぞれの変更も対応していただき、助かりました。参加してよかったです!
Our tour guide, Chris, was wonderful! Thanks to him, even those of us who don't understand much English had a great time. If we have the chance, we would definitely like to request him again next time. The sunset from the summit was absolutely amazing and became an unforgettable memory. Thank you very much!
ツアーガイドのクリスさん、とても素敵でした!お陰様で英語のあまりわからない我々も楽しく過ごせました
機会があれば次回もぜひお願いしたいです
山頂から見る日の入りはとても素晴らしく
忘れられない思い出になりました
ありがとうございました!
Everything is taken care of, so please feel free to join with peace of mind.
至れり尽くせりなので、安心してご参加ください
I regretted signing up when the yen was at its weakest, but I had an experience that was worth it! Riding the buggy through the greenery and jungle was fun and refreshing. We visited various spots, including filming locations for Jurassic Park and other movies, stopping at photo points along the way.
At the photo points, they shared stories about the myths and legends of Kualoa, but I didn't quite understand it well in English ^^; Afterward, I looked it up online and realized that’s what they were talking about. On the flight back, I watched two Jurassic Park movies ^^
一番円安の時に申し込んでしまい悔しかったけど、それに見合う価値の体験ができました!風を切りながら緑やジャングルの中を走るバギーは楽しく、気持ちよかったです。ジュラシックパークや他の映画の撮影場所とのことで、フォトポイントを挟みながらいろいろ回りました。
フォトポイントでは、クアロアの神話や伝説のお話をしてくださいますが、英語でよくわからなかった^^;
終わってからネットで調べて、そんなこと言ってたと合致しました。
帰りの飛行機でジュラシックパークを2本見ました^^
Wear a helmet and goggles. You will also receive a scarf. The dust is quite heavy, so it's better to wear goggles. After you're done, be sure to give a tip as well. It's a fair income for their living
ヘルメットとゴーグル着用。スカーフももらえます。砂埃がすごいので、ゴーグルした方がいいです。
終わったあとはチップも添えてあげてね。彼らの生活費で正当な収入です。
Thank you for a mountain top experience. We learned about the scenery and the history. Your horses work well behaved and trained. Thank you for the personal tour. You did a great job.
I have traveled to Hawaii over 20 times, but this is the first time I've been so impressed by an optional tour. I highly recommend that people in their teens, twenties, thirties, and forties participate and experience this emotion. (As you get older, it becomes harder to see due to presbyopia) *I experienced this too.
【Here are some checkpoints】
■ Scenic Points
They will definitely prepare spots that will truly impress everyone. However, it can be quite cold, so at a minimum, heat-tech clothing for both the upper and lower body is essential. If possible, bringing a thermos with warm drinks might be necessary. *Of course, warm tea is provided.
■ Shopping at the Supermarket
Korean seaweed is highly recommended. *Especially the wasabi flavor is the best.
■ Time
It takes quite a long time, including the round trip. The tour guide is fully proficient in both Japanese and English, so I recommend sitting close to the driver's seat for various educational talks.
I have participated in various optional tours, but I truly recommend this one. As someone who has children and grandchildren, I believe this experience will definitely become a wonderful memory.
The cost is on par with golfing in Waikiki, but the level is different.
It was truly a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
ハワイを20回以上、旅行していますが、

Eddy was great. Talked with us about the Island. The entire crew took good care of us and made the ride fun. Perfect Day!!
It was an early morning departure, but I was grateful that they picked me up right in front of the hotel. Jonathan, our guide and driver, provided clear explanations, making the sightseeing very enjoyable. This tour is highly recommended as it covers many attractions at a great price.
早朝の出発ですが、ホテルの前でピックアップしてくれるのでありがたかったです。ガイド兼ドライバーのジョナサンの説明もわかりやすくとても楽しく観光できました。たくさん観光地をまわるのに価格もお得でおすすめのツアーです。
Early mornings in January are pitch dark, but they lend you a light to illuminate your path, so it's fine. The temperature was mild enough that I didn't need a jacket.
1月の早朝は真っ暗ですが、足元を照らすライトを貸してくれるので大丈夫です。気温も上着はいらないくらいでした。
I participated in February. The weather was cloudy up to the summit, and for a while after departing from the visitor center, it was snowing, which was hard to believe for the weather on the Big Island of Hawaii. When I reached the summit, it was still snowing, but the guide told me, "I think you'll be able to see it today." Suddenly, the clouds cleared, and I was able to experience an incredible view like never before, with snow, a sea of clouds, and the sunset all coming together. The starry sky was even more impressive than a planetarium, with countless stars visible. The guide took many photos of both the sunset and the starry sky, capturing moments that I couldn't have taken with my own phone, which made me very happy. Additionally, they took great care to ensure that we wouldn't suffer from altitude sickness, allowing me to participate with peace of mind.
参加したのは2月でした。山頂の途中までは曇天、ビジターセンターを出発してしばらくは雪が降っていて、とてもハワイ島の天気とは思えなかったです。山頂に着いてすぐはまだ雪が降っていましたが、ガイドさんに今日は見れると思いますよ。と言われて、本当に雲が晴れて、雪と雲海とサンセットと全てが揃った今まで経験したことのない、最高の景色を見る事が出来ました。満天の星空はプラネタリウムよりも沢山の星を観ることが出来ました。ガイドさんにはサンセットも星空も沢山の写真を撮ってもらえて、自分の携帯では撮れないような写真を撮ってもらえた事も思い出になって、嬉しかったです。また、高山病にかからないように配慮もしっかりしていて安心して参加する事が出来ました。
I think it's quite rare to be able to drive to the summit of a 4,000-meter mountain. Honestly, it was expensive and dependent on the weather, so I was torn between going to the summit and choosing a t
4,000メートルの山頂へ車で行ける事が、なかなか無いと思います。正直、高額だし、天候に左右されるので、山頂へ行かないツアーと迷いましたが、行ってよかったです。
The beautiful sunset and the lovely starry sky cleansed my soul.
With a smooth schedule and thorough explanations, it became a very enjoyable time.
美しいサンセットと綺麗な星空で
心が洗われました
スムーズなスケジュール進行と丁寧な説明で
大変楽しい時間になりました
I made a reservation targeting the timing of the high moon phase, and Waikoloa was sunny from the morning, raising my expectations, but there were somewhat thick clouds on the mountain.
While taking a break at the Onizuka Visitor Center, it started to rain, turning my hopes into anxiety. When I reached the summit, it was snowing, and a sense of resignation began to set in as I endured the cold while waiting.
Then, after about 15 minutes, the clouds began to thin out, and the sun started to shine through. In the end, I was able to witness a beautiful sunset beyond the sea of clouds, and then I moved on to stargazing.
There were moments when thin clouds passed by, but I was able to enjoy a sky full of stars.
月齢が高いタイミングで狙って予約、ワイコロアは朝から晴れて期待が高まるが、山にはやや厚い雲。
オニヅカビジターセンターでの途中休憩中に雨が降り始め、期待は不安に変わる。
山頂に着くと雪が降っており、諦めムードも漂う中で寒さに耐えて待つ。
すると15分ほどで雲が薄くなっていき、日が差すように。
結局雲海の先に綺麗なサンセットを拝むことができ、そのまま星空観察へ。
途中薄く雲がかかるタイミングもあったが、満天の星空を楽しむことができた。
It's reassuring to bring your own gear to protect against rain and wind to some extent. They can provide advice on altitude sickness prevention, but it's safest to get a good night's sleep the night b
雨風を凌ぐ装備はある程度自前で持って行った方が安心。
高山病対策も教えてもらえるが、前日はよく睡眠を取り、体調を整えて臨むのが無難。
One hour of sunset viewing at the summit of Mauna Kea.
I unexpectedly saw snow on the Big Island of Hawaii.
At 4,000 meters, the air is thin, and I could barely walk, but everyone on the tour seemed fine. They also helped with altitude acclimatization along the way, and the advice was provided in both English and Japanese, so I felt that most people would be okay.
The starry sky was breathtaking, and fortunately, there was no moon, making it the best stargazing experience of my life.
I definitely recommend it, although I think weather and luck play a role.
マウナケア山頂にて1時間サンセット鑑賞
ハワイ島でまさかの雪が見れました。
4000mの世界は酸素が薄く、私は歩くのがやっとでしたが、
ツアーの人は全員平気そうでした。高地順応も途中でしてくれたり、アドバイスも英語と日本語でしっかりされていたので
ほとんどの人は大丈夫だと感じました。
星空は満天で、タイミングよく月もなく
人生で最高の星空でした。
ぜひ
天候や運もあるとおもいますが
オススメです。
The tour guide will carefully monitor your health and provide advice. Since there will be a stay at high altitude for several hours, it's recommended to dress warmly and borrow a jacket early.
ツアーガイドは体調をしっかりみてアドバイスくれます。
高地での滞在が数時間あるので
しっかり着込んだり、上着を早めに借りたほうがオススメです
This time, I experienced an aerial tour of Hawaii for the first time in 10 years. My family (my wife and younger son) and I took a Cessna, and it was an amazing and thrilling 60 minutes. The weather was great that day, and there was very little turbulence, which was nice. The young and handsome pilot, Tanaka, provided thorough explanations and guidance, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. We had a fantastic experience with plenty of opportunities for coastal sightseeing and hands-on piloting.
(The course and experience seem to be influenced by the weather, so we were lucky.) At one point, we spotted a whale and the pilot descended to get a closer look. We also witnessed a passenger plane landing from above and experienced an impressive sharp turn over the airport runway for landing. It was a very enjoyable flight.
I went on this trip for my eldest son's wedding, and it has become one of the best memories of my trip to Hawaii.
Pilot Tanaka, the staff who handled the pick-up, flight explanations, and everyone else were all friendly, making for a fun time. It was also reassuring that everything was conducted in Japanese. Thank you very much. Mahalo~ 😁
今回10年ぶりにハワイの空中散歩を体験しに行きました。セスナで家族で(妻、次男)体験しましたがとても素晴らしく興奮の60分でした。当日はお天気もとても良くて、ほとんど揺れることも少なく、良かったです。若くてイケメンの田中パイロットが丁寧に解説しながら、手取り足取り教えて下さったのがとても安心で良かったです。離陸から海岸散歩と操縦体験もたくさんさせてもらって大満足の体験となりました。
(コースや体験は天候に左右されるらしく、ラッキーでした)
途中クジラを見つけて下降してもらったり、旅客機の着陸を上空から見届けて空港滑走路を越えての急旋回着陸の凄技を見せてもらったりとても楽しいフライトでした。
今回長男の結婚式の機会で行きましたが、最高のハワイ旅行の思い出の一つとなりました。
田中パイロット、送迎からフライト説明、対応いただいた方全てがフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。すべて日本語対応も安心感がありました。
どうもありがとうございました。マハロ〜😁
It was an amazing experience, anyway. I think you can try it with peace of mind, so I especially recommend it to those who love airplanes. 😁
とにかく素晴らしい体験でした。安心してトライできると思いますので飛行機好きな方には特におすすめだと思います😁
I have climbed Diamond Head several times, but this was my first time climbing to see the sunrise in the dark. It was a bit cloudy, but I was glad to be able to see the sunrise! Other tourist spots were also wonderful and made for great memories. Our guide, Jonah, was very good at Japanese and was very kind. Thank you very much!
ダイヤモンドヘッドには何度か登ったことがあるものの、暗い中朝日を見るために登るのは初めてでした。少し曇っていましたが、朝日を見ることができて良かったです!
他の観光場所も素晴らしくとてもいい思い出になりました。
ガイドのジョナさんは日本語がとてもお上手で、とても親切でした。ありがとうございました。
When climbing Diamond Head, you will sweat quite a bit, but while waiting for the sunrise, it can be a bit chilly with the wind blowing. I recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes.
ダイヤモンドヘッドを登っている時は汗をかくくらいですが、朝日を待つ間は風が吹いていたりで肌寒ったです。何か羽織るものを持っていくことをお勧めします。
Had a great time. Well worth the money. We got fresh fruit from the farm and was really tasty.
Beautiful 2 hour horseback ride in Kualoa Ranch.
It rained off and on but the scenery was spectacular.
Hope to come back and do it again someday.
I was recommended by a friend and participated for the first time this time. Driving the buggy was thrilling and exciting, but it was a lot of fun! The scenery while driving was amazing!
友人に勧められて、今回初めて参加しました。
バギーの運転はハラハラドキドキしましたが、とても楽しかったです!
運転しながら見る景色は最高でした!
Since the dust is quite heavy, I recommend going with minimal luggage and wearing clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.
砂埃がすごいので、最小限の荷物、汚れてもいい服・靴で行くことをお勧めします。
The sunrise and sea of clouds viewed from the summit of Haleakalā was the best moment. The subsequent cycling tour was simply "amazing!" Although it was in English, the guide carefully explained the mountain biking precautions and led the way, which made me feel safe while riding. I definitely want to participate again.
ハレアカラ山頂から見る日の出と雲海のコラボ、最高のひと時でした。その後のサイクリングツアーは『気持ちいい!』の一言です!英語ガイドですが、マウンテンバイクの注意事項を丁寧に説明いただけ、かつ、先頭を走ってリードしてくれたので安心に走ることが出来ました。
是非ともまた参加したいと思います。
I recommend filming the experience of racing down Haleakalā Mountain with a GoPro or similar camera.
ハレアカラ山のダウンヒルを疾走する様子をGoPro等で動画撮影することをお勧めします。
The weather miraculously cleared up during the horseback riding experience! The horse was very smart and gentle, making it enjoyable even for a first-time rider. I definitely want to try it again on a sunny day. It's a recommended activity!
乗馬体験の間は奇跡的に晴れました!
お馬さんもとても賢く穏やかで乗馬初体験でも楽しめました。
是非晴れた日にまた体験したいです。おすすめのアクティビティです
Thank you so much, Jonah, our guide!
Since we were hiking up Diamond Head to catch the sunrise, we had to wake up early. I had previously hiked during the day and almost suffered from heatstroke, having to turn back just before reaching the top. I recommend starting early, even in the dark! The zigzag uphill path was easy to navigate. Jonah's thoughtful preparation, such as providing flashlights for the four participants, was wonderful!
After that, our group grew from four to eight people. We also stopped by Leonard's and enjoyed delicious malasadas in the car. There were many stops along the way, and Jonah's insights about each attraction and restroom advice made this tour truly special.
Not only did we visit tourist spots, but Jonah also allowed us time to relax and enjoy the ocean view.
One regret, or rather a mistake! I was excited about Giovanni's, famous for its garlic shrimp at the Kualoa Sugar Mill, and being a fan of spicy food, I ordered the "Hot & Spicy." It turned out to be much spicier than I imagined, and I had to quickly leave that spot and rush to a bar where I could drink beer, managing to eat with a beer in hand! I should have ordered the scampi, which is labeled as the number one favorite! For those who love spicy food, be cautious!
Strolling around Haleiwa Town while checking out the shops was just the right amount of time, and I enjoyed the coffee tasting at the last coffee farm, purchasing some that I liked.
Thank you, Jonah, for all the stories you shared while driving us around until the end! I really appreciate it! Thank you!!
ガイドのジョナさん、本当にお世話になりました!
ダイヤモンドヘッド日の出登山(ハイキング^^;)なので、朝は早いのですが、私は以前に昼間登って熱中症気味になり、頂上目前の階段下でリタイヤした事があります。早起きしても、暗い内に登るのがおすすめです!ジグザグ上り坂までも楽々行けました。また、参加者4人に懐中電灯を準備して下さるなど、ジョナさんの細やかな心配りが素晴らしい!
その後仲間が4人増え、8人グループとなりました。
レナーズにも立ち寄って下さり、マラサダも車内で美味しく頂きました。
立ち寄り場所もたくさん有り、それぞれの見所やトイレのアドバイスなど、このツアーはジョナさんの魅力によるものが大きかったと思います。
観光地だけでなく、海をゆっくりぼんやり見る時間も作って下さいました。
1つ後悔!と言うか失敗!
カフク・シュガーミルにある、ガーリックシュリンプで有名なジョバンニに心躍ったのですが、辛いもの好きで「ホット&スパイシー」を注文してしまいました。これは、想像以上に痛い位辛く、その場をすぐに引き上げて、ビールを飲ませてくれる店に駆け込んで、ビール片手に何とか食べました!人気No1と書いてあるスキャンピを頼むべきでした!辛い物好きな方もご注意ください!
ハレイワタウンもブラブラとお店を冷かしながら歩いて、丁度良い時間でしたし、最後のコーヒーファームの試飲のコーヒーも美味しく頂き、気に入ったものを購入できました。
最後まで、運転しながらたくさんのお話をして下さったジョナさん、お世話になりました!ありがとうございました!!
If you're climbing Diamond Head, the path is rockier than you might expect, so wear comfortable shoes! You'll ascend in a line, but you can stop and rest at small dips along the way. Be careful with t
ダイヤモンドヘッドに登る方は、思ったより足元がゴツゴツした道なので歩きやすい靴で!行列のように登りますが、わずかな窪みとかで立ち止まって休む事も出来ます。「ホット&スパイシー」にはご注意!!
Thank you, Jonah, for taking care of me again in September. I appreciate you guiding me to the beaches where we might see honu (sea turtles) on the North Shore and stopping by the Balance Rock. Thank you for accommodating my whims.
It was a bit disappointing that it rained during the early morning hike up Diamond Head, but the weather cleared up afterward, and the ocean was beautiful. I enjoyed Giovanni's garlic shrimp while drinking beer at a nearby beer specialty shop. With all the great conversations with you, it was a very enjoyable day!
ジョナさん、9月に引き続きお世話になり、ありがとうございました。
ノースショアではホヌがいると思われるビーチを案内していただいたり、バランスロックに寄っていただいたり、わがままを聞いていただいてありがとうございました。
早朝のダイヤモンドヘッド登頂は雨が少し降っていて残念でしたが、その後は天気がよくて海がキレイでした。ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプを近くのビール専門の店内でビールを飲みながら美味しく食べられました。ジョナさんのたくさんの会話もあり、とても楽しい1日でした!
When it rains at Diamond Head, the rust from the handrails can get on your clothes, so I think it's better to wear dark-colored clothing. If you're going to eat Giovanni's garlic shrimp, it's convenie
ダイヤモンドヘッドで雨が降っている時は、手すりの錆が服につくので、濃い色の服を着ていった方がいいと思います。 ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプを食べるのでしたらビニール手袋を持っていくと便利です。
The Milky Way was amazing. As it got darker, more stars became visible, to the point where I couldn't even recognize the constellations. Eating a meal (sandwich) in the cramped car was a bit of a letdown.
天の川が最高でした。暗くなるにつれて見える星増えて、星座が良くわからないくらいでした。
食事(サンドイッチ)を狭い車内で食べるのは興醒めでした。
The summit is quite cold, so please prepare accordingly. Since the explanation of the constellations is in English, I think it would be a good idea to look up the English-Japanese translations in adva
山頂はともかく寒いので準備して下さい。星座の説明が英語なので事前に英日訳を調べた方が良いと思います。
