On January 22nd, the second day of our trip to Hawaii Island, my husband and I participated in the Mauna Kea summit and stargazing tour.
We were picked up in front of our hotel at 2:15 PM. During the drive to Mauna Kea, we learned a lot about Hawaii Island.
We took several breaks along the way and had an early meal around 4 PM. It was a relaxing experience to enjoy Japanese food after a long time, including rice, simmered dishes, and fried fish, as we headed towards the summit.
We were advised that deep breathing and staying hydrated are effective for preventing altitude sickness. Thanks to this, we were able to reach the summit without feeling unwell! We were blessed with good weather, and at the summit, we were able to see a beautiful sunset, making it an unforgettable experience. The photos taken by the staff were wonderful, and I could really feel their professionalism.
Additionally, my husband and I were honestly unsure whether to go to the summit or the foothills due to concerns about altitude sickness, but we were glad we chose the summit.
We began stargazing around 7:00 PM. Although we were lent jackets, it was quite cold, so anyone heading to the summit should definitely bring warm outerwear. We were satisfied to see a sky full of stars that we can't see in Japan. The staff's guidance was very detailed and informative.
Overall, thanks to the staff's thoughtful care, we were able to create the best memories of Hawaii Island without any worries. Thank you very much.
1月22日ハワイ島旅行2日目で、私たち夫婦はマウナケア山頂&星空観測に参加しました。
14時15分にホテルの前に迎えに来て頂きました。
マウナケアに向かう道中もハワイ島についてたくさん教えて頂きました
途中、何度か休憩をしながら、16時ごろに早めの食事を頂きました。
ご飯、煮物、魚のフライの久々の日本食でリラックスしながら山頂に向けて、出発できました。
高山病予防のために、深呼吸と水分補給をするのが効果的と教えていただきました。おかげで体調も悪くなることなく登頂まで行くことができました!天候にも恵まれ、山頂では大変綺麗なサンセットが見ることができ忘れられない体験となりました。スタッフの方に撮ってもらった写真が素晴らしくさすがプロだなと感じました。
また、私たち夫婦は、高山病が心配でマウナケア山頂か山麗どちらにするか、正直迷っていましたが、山頂にしてよかったです。
19:00頃から星空観測をしました。上着を貸していただけましたがかなり寒いため、登頂される方は暖かい上着が必須です。
日本では見ることができない満天の星空を見ることができて満足です。スタッフの方のガイドもとても詳しくて勉強になりました。
全体を通して、スタッフの方の心配りのおかげで不安なことなく、ハワイ島最高の思い出を作ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

I use this service every time, but during my last trip, we had a private transfer. This time, the vehicle was completely full, and I had to place my luggage on my lap, which made it quite cramped for a long time since we were also at the end of the line. I understand the desire to accommodate many passengers at once, but I think it would be nice to leave at least one or two seats open for comfort.
毎回利用させて頂いていますが、前回は、私達のみでの送迎でしたが、今回は車内は満席で手荷物も足の上に置かなければならない程で、順番も最後の方だったので、かなり長い時間、窮屈でした。一度にたくさんの人を送迎したいのはわかりますが、せめて1,2席は空ける余裕もあってもいいのではと思いました。

As soon as I exited the airport, there was a counter. It was easy to find.
I was sent along with a few groups, and it seemed to be running efficiently.
It was reassuring that I could make a reservation from Japan.

In January 2020, I used this service from Honolulu Airport to my hotel in Waikiki. I rode in a spacious van that seats about 20 people, and we arrived in Waikiki in about 30 minutes, being dropped off right in front of each hotel. Since there were only three of us, including an American couple, it was smooth. It would likely take longer if it were crowded. Both the driver and staff were friendly, making for a comfortable journey. The driver also handled the loading and unloading of large luggage.
2020年1月にホノルル空港からワイキキのホテルまで利用しました。天井の高い約20人乗りのバンに乗り、約30分でワイキキに到着して、それぞれのホテルの前で下ろしてもらいました。たまたま私とアメリカ人夫婦の2組3名だけの利用でしたので、スムーズ。混んでいるともっと時間がかかることでしょう。ドライバーもスタッフもフレンドリーで、安心して移動できました。大きな荷物はドライバーが出し入れしてくれます。

We enjoyed the Waimea Canyon Tour. The coach driver was friendly, funny, and informative.
The Wailua River Cruise was disappointing and boring. The driver of the boat had no enthusiasm in his voice and the visuals of the river were unimpressive. Since you can no longer enter the Fern Grotto cave, this stop is no longer amazing as it used to be.

I participated in a sunrise tour at the summit of Haleakalā on my first visit to Maui. I was a bit confused about the need for reconfirmation, so I called the tour company the day before, but I still didn't quite understand it. On the day of the tour, the bus arrived almost on time. Everyone except me was a foreigner. We were assigned seats, and they provided a Japanese brochure and a Japanese audio guide (upon request). We drove in the dark and quickly arrived at the summit of Haleakalā. While waiting for the sunrise, the wind was strong and it was really cold. I thought I had dressed warmly enough for the tour, but it was still chilly. However, when the sun finally rose, I felt its brightness and warmth, and I could truly appreciate the greatness of nature. The scenery was absolutely stunning. If I ever come to Maui again, I would love to participate in this tour once more.
初めてのマウイ島、ハレアカラ山頂のサンライズツアーに参加しました。よく分からなかったのがリコンファームが必要と書いてあり、不安ながら参加前日に催行会社へ電話をしましたが・・、あれが良く分かりませんでした。当日、ほぼ時間通りにバスが迎えに来てくれました。私以外すべて外国人でした。席を決められており、そこには日本語のパンフレット、日本語のオーディオガイド(要リクエスト)をご準備いただきました。暗い中を走り、あっという間にハレアカラ山頂へ到着。サンライズまでの待ち時間、風も強く本当に寒いです。だいぶ防寒対策をしてツアーに参加したつもりでしたが、それでも寒かったです。しかしいざ太陽が昇ってくると明るさと温かさを感じ、自然の偉大さを体で感じることができました。景色が本当に素晴らしいです。マウイ島に来ることがあれば、また参加したいです。

I participated in this tour because I wanted to go to Hana on Maui for the first time. I was alone, and there was also a couple from Canada, making a total of three people plus the driver. The car was comfortable with good seats, but the air conditioning was quite effective, making it a bit cold. If you're sensitive to the cold, it's better to take some warm clothing. During the trip, we had time to take photos from the car at various points, and the explanations were given in detail. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand much since I don't speak English. Although the time spent in the car was long, I think participating in the tour was a good choice since it's a place I wouldn't be able to visit easily on my own.
初めてのマウイ島、ハナへ行きたくてこのツアーに参加しました。私は一人で、他にカナダからのご夫婦が参加し、合計3人+ドライバーさんのツアーでした。車はシートもよく快適でしたが、エアコンがよく効いており少し寒かったです。寒がりの方は防寒対策を取ったほうがいいです。道中、ポイントでは車の中から写真を撮る時間を取ってくれたり、説明を丁寧にしてくださったようでした。というのも・・、私は英語ができないので残念な感じでした。。車に乗っている時間が長いのですが、一人ではなかなか行けないの場所なので、ツアーの参加はよかったと思っています。

At first, I was worried about whether I would see whales, but once we got out to sea, I was able to see spouts and the tails as they entered the water. I couldn't see the whole whale, but it was great to witness such a dynamic scene.
Additionally, the weather was calm that day, and the sea breeze felt refreshing, washing away my worries.
I opted for breakfast this time, but it felt a bit rushed to grab it before departure, so I didn't really enjoy it leisurely. This was a disappointing aspect, but I plan to skip breakfast next time.
While whales are the main attraction, enjoying the view of Waikiki from the sea while feeling the ocean breeze is also a delight.
はじめはクジラが見れるか不安でしたが、いざ海に出てみると潮吹きや海に入る際の尾びれなどを見ることができました。くじらの全体像は見れませんでしたが、ダイナミックな光景を見れたのはよかったです。
また、この日は風も穏やかで海風が気持ちよく、気持ちを洗い流された感じです。
今回は朝食を付けたのですが、出港前にあわただしく取りにいく感じてゆっくり食べた気はしませんでした。このあたりは残念な点でしたが、次回は朝食無しでお願いするつもりです。

I had to walk with my family of seven, each with our own carry-on cases and luggage. I don’t understand the purpose of booking a transfer tour if this is what happens.

Climbing a mountain over 4000 meters for the first time made me anxious, especially since I had heard that the conditions at the summit can be very harsh. However, thanks to the attentive care of our guide, everyone was able to participate without any health issues. I truly felt reassured going with a guide who knows the mountains so well. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn't see the sunset from the summit, but we were able to enjoy a breathtaking view of the sunset a little lower down, which also gave us a chance to experience the power of nature. It seems that a snowy Mauna Kea is quite rare, so perhaps we were lucky in that regard. The starry sky was like a natural planetarium, and with the interesting explanations of the constellations, I could have gazed at it forever without getting bored. It became a memorable sight. Thank you to everyone at the nature school!
初めて4000m超の山に登ること、山の上はとても過酷な環境と聞いていたこともあり、不安がありましたが、ガイドの方のきめ細やかな心配りのお陰で、誰も体調を崩すことなく、参加することができました。やはり、山のことを知り尽くしているガイドさんと行くのが安心だなぁと思いました。残念ながら今回は悪天候のため、頂上では夕陽は見られませんでしたが、少し降りたところで夕焼けの絶景を見られましたし、自然の威力を体感する機会にもなりました。雪景色のマウナケア山はとても珍しいそうなので、逆にラッキーだったのかもしれません。星空はまさに天然のプラネタリウムで、面白い星座解説と共に、いつまで眺めていても飽きることがなく、思い出に残る風景となりました。ネイチャースクールの皆さま、ありがとうございました!

I often go to Hawaii during summer vacation, but this time I decided to go in January for the first time, so I participated in a whale watching cruise to see the winter whales. It was a cloudy day with strong winds and high waves, which might be why the whales were not showing up. The captain announced that we would be turning back today, and the boat started to head back.
Then, from the other side, there was a cheer! Surprisingly, a whale was spouting water! And even its large tail fin! The boat made another U-turn to get closer to the whale. I'm grateful to the kind captain.
ハワイは夏休みに行くことが多く、今回はじめて1月に行くことになったので、冬のくじらに会いたいとホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。この日は曇り空で風も強く、波が高かったせいかなかなか鯨が出てきてくれず、キャプテンから今日はUターンするとのアナウンスがあり船は引き返すことに。

The guide picked us up in the order of Kona → Waikoloa → Hapuna Beach, and since we were staying in Waikoloa, our meeting time was 1:45 PM. We arrived early at Hapuna Beach, so we spontaneously decided to go whale watching from the shore. We were able to see the whales spouting from a distance. Without the guide's assistance, we definitely wouldn't have noticed them. Even with the last-minute change, they were impressive.
After all 13 participants gathered, we set off for Mauna Kea Park. We were told that it was okay to sleep during the first half since we needed to stay awake for altitude sickness prevention later, but thanks to the lively conversation, I was too excited to sleep at all in the car. We arrived at Mauna Kea Park at 3:30 PM. It was at an elevation of 2,000 meters, and Mauna Kea towered high above us. The temperature had dropped, and it was a bit chilly.
After a restroom break, we set off again and arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center at an elevation of 2,800 meters around 4 PM. Here, we had an early lunch and another restroom break. The lunch consisted of a traditional Japanese bento with fried fish and karaage, and even though we had just eaten, we finished it all. The warm miso soup was delicious. As it gets colder as we ascend, I borrowed ski pants to complete my gear (it seems they make it hard to breathe at high altitudes). Normally, they stay for about an hour, but due to the rare good weather and snow at the summit, many people were heading up, so we departed after 4:30 PM to secure a spot for the sunset. By the way, snow at the summit is usually only present until January or February, and during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, making it difficult to reach the summit, which is why a guide who was off-duty also visited that day.
After leaving the Onizuka Visitor Center, we drove on a steep gravel road. Switching to four-wheel drive, the vehicle moved steadily forward. It would be impossible to reach this place by rental car on your own. As we continued, the vegetation gradually disappeared, the clouds came into view below us, and I felt as if the sun was getting closer.
We got out of the car at 3,800 meters, above the height of Mount Fuji. The first thing that caught our eyes was a vast expanse of snow. It felt surreal to have been at a hot beach in the morning and now be in a silver world. There was even a snowman that had arrived before us, and all the participants were thrilled. We rushed over to the snow, but being at high altitude, I quickly became out of breath and felt dizzy. I had to take deep breaths and try to move slowly. That said, there were some foreigners snowboarding and taking pictures in swimsuits...
After a while, we finally headed to the summit. Many people had already arrived at the top, but we managed to secure a position to view the sunset. It was quite cold, so I borrowed a ski jacket and gloves and put on the neck warmer I had brought. Until sunset, the guide took various photos for us.
Then came the sunset. Before the sun went down, the entire area was bathed in orange, and after it set, the sky transformed into a gradient of orange, green, and blue—a sight that words cannot describe. I felt it was a scene I would never see again, and I made sure to imprint it in my memory.
After the sunset, we had to descend from the summit, so we drove down to 3,500 meters for stargazing. Even after sunset, it was still bright for a while, and we could only see Venus. As night deepened, we began to see the first magnitude stars in order. After that, we were able to observe stars and the Milky Way that we could never see in the city. The guide was knowledgeable about constellations and explained them clearly. We took commemorative photos with the Milky Way and Orion in the background, and the stargazing session came to an end.
On the way back, we stopped at Mauna Kea Park for a restroom break and to collect our cold-weather gear. They dropped us off at our hotel, and we arri
ガイドさんがコナ→ワイコロア→ハプナビーチの順に迎えに来てくださって、ワイコロアに宿泊していた私たちは13時45分の集合でした。
ハプナビーチに早く到着したため、急遽陸からホエールウォッチングをすることに。遠めからですが、クジラの潮吹きを見ることができました。ガイドさんの案内なしだったら絶対に気づきませんでした。急遽な対応でもさすがです。
その後、参加者13名全員揃って、まずはマウナケアパークに向けて出発。
後半は高山病対策のため起きている必要はあるので前半は寝ていても構わないとのことでしたが、軽快なトークのおかげでまったく寝ることはなく車の中でワクワクしていました。
マウナケアパークには15時30分に到着。ここは標高2,000mでマウナケアが高くそびえ立っていました。気温も下がっていて若干ひんやり。
トイレ休憩後、再度出発し16時過ぎに標高2,800mのオニヅカビジターセンターへ到着。
ここでは少し早めのお弁当とトイレ休憩。お弁当は日本人が作った魚のフライ、唐揚げなどが入っているザ・日本のお弁当。お昼とったばかりなのに完食でした。温かいお味噌汁も美味しかったです。山頂に行くにつれて寒くなるため、スキー用のズボンを貸してもらい装備完了(高地で履くと息があがってしまうらしいです)。
通常は1時間くらい滞在するらしいのですが、この日は久しぶりの好天&山頂に雪があるということで山頂に向かう人が多くサンセットの場所確保のために16時30分すぎに出発しました。
ちなみに山頂に雪があるのは1月、2月くらいまでで、かつその時期は天候不順で山頂に登れないことも多いらしいので、この日は非番のガイドさんもプライベートで訪れていました。
オニヅカビジターセンターを出た後は、急角度の砂利道。四駆に切り替えて車はグングンと進んでいきます。レンタカーで自力で向かうのは絶対無理です。。
その後もグイグイ進み、次第に植物の姿が見えなくなり、雲も下に見るようになり、心なしか太陽も近くに感じるようになりました。
そして富士山越えの3,800mで下車。
日本のすばるを含め各国の天文台よりも先に目に入ってきたのは一面の雪景色。午前中は暑いビーチにいたのが嘘のような銀世界でした。
先に到着した雪ダルマもあり、参加者全員が大興奮。思わず雪のもとへと駆け寄りましたが、そこは高地。あっという間に息が切れて頭がクラクラしてきました。深呼吸してなるべく体をゆっくり動かさないといけないです。といいながら、スノボしたり水着で記念撮影している外国の方もいましたが、、、
しばらくしてから、ついに山頂へ向かいます。
すでに山頂は多くの人が到着していましたが、なんとか夕陽の見えるポジションを確保できました。かなり寒いのでスキー用の上着と手袋を借り、持ってきたネックウォーマーを装着。
日没まではガイドさんが色んな写真を撮ってくれました。
そしてサンセット。日が沈む前はあたり一面がオレンジ色に染まり、日が沈んだあとはオレンジと緑と青のグラデーションで言葉で説明できない光景でした。二度と見れない光景と思い、じっくりと目に焼きつけました。
サンセット後は山頂から降りないといけないため、3,500mまで車で下山して星空観察。
日没後もまだしばらく明るく、見えるのは金星くらい。夜が深くなってくるにつれ一等星から順に見えてきました。その後は都会では見ることができない星や天の川を観察することができました。
ガイドさんは星座のことも詳しく、分かりやすく説明してくれました。天の川やオリオン座をバックに記念撮影をして星空観察は終了。
帰りはマウナケアパークに立ち寄りトイレ休憩と防寒具の回収。ホテルまで送って下さり、22時前に到着しました。あっという間の8時間でした。
マウナケアの山頂に登れるようになったのは昨年末で、また3月には行けなくなるとのこと。ハワイ島に来たなら絶対に行くべきツアーだと思います。

The guide took fun videos at the filming location of Jurassic Park, which was amazing! The lunch buffet was also delicious! The jungle exploration tour can be quite bumpy, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some precautions like motion sickness medication.
ガイドさんがジュラシックパークのロケ地で楽しい動画を撮ってくれたりと最高でした!
ランチビュッフェも美味しかったです!
ジャングル探検ツアーは車がかなり揺れるので車酔いなどしやすい方は酔い止めなど対策した方がいいかもしれません。
