マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

This is my third time experiencing the sunset and starry sky. サンセット&星空は3回目

Reviewed by: cfu15270

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was very satisfying, so I participated again on my third trip to the Big Island. I chose to join Masashi Nature School this time because they offered stargazing at a higher elevation, rather than at the Onizuka Visitor Center.

The photos taken near the Subaru Telescope and during the sunset were varied and well done, and I appreciated being able to download the tour camera photos. I was also happy to have photos taken with the starry sky as a backdrop, and the red clouds from the Kilauea crater were captured as well.

While other companies only provided down jackets, this time the down overalls were warm too. Konno's stargazing explanations were wonderful, and I enjoyed the tour without getting bored. Thank you, Konno! I had a great time and downloaded the photos.

Participating in Masashi's tour this time was extremely satisfying compared to my previous two experiences with other companies.

マウナケア山頂からのサンセットは他の2社のツアーに参加し、大変満足できるものだったので、ハワイ島3回目の今回も参加をしました。
今回参加のマサシネイチャースクールを選んだのは、Onizukaビジターセンター近くでの星空観賞ではなく、もっと標高の高いところでの星空観賞をうたっていたからでした。
スバル天文台近くでの写真、サンセットの時も色々なバージョンでの撮影をしていただき、さらにツアーカメラでの写真をダウンロードできるのも良い点です。
他社と比べての高高度での星空観賞に加え、星空を背景の写真を撮っていただいてダウンロードできたのも嬉しかったです。キラウエアの火口の赤い雲も写ってました。
他社はダウンジャケットだけでしたが、今回はダウンのサロペットも温かかったです。
Konnoさんの星空解説も素晴らしく、ツアー途中も退屈することなく楽しみました。Konnoさん、ありがとうございました。大変楽しみましたよ!写真もダウンロードしましたよ。
今回マサシさんのツアーに参加して、過去の他社2回に比べても、大大満足ができるものでした。

YAMAPEE is the best. YAMAPEEは最高

Reviewed by: たかちゃん

This was my second time participating. The stargazing during my first visit was half as enjoyable because it was cold, so this time I came prepared with warm clothing. However, unfortunately, it coincided with a full moon, which was disappointing. Still, I repeated the experience because I was looking forward to chatting with Mr. Yamauchi, so it was good. Every time I come, I really think about wanting to live on a Hawaiian island.

2回目の参加でした。
初参加時の星空観測が寒くて楽しさ半分でしたので、今回は用意周到の厚着で参加しました。
しかし、生憎の満月に当たってしまい残念でした。
まあ、それでも山内さんとの会話が楽しみでリピートしましたから良かったです。
いつ来ても、本当にハワイの離島に住みたいと思いますね。

Honolulu is convenient and nice, but I definitely recommend Maui. It feels like time flows slowly there, and you can live in harmony with nature. Next time, please be sure to consult the lunar calendar and come visit Maui.

ホノルルも便利で良いのですが、やはり自分はマウイ島をお勧めします。ゆっくりと時間が流れ、自然と一緒に暮らしていけるような気がします。次回は是非月齢表と相談の上、マウイに遊びに来てください。

It was very cold on the bus, but I'm glad I went. バスの中がとても寒かったけれど、行ってよかったです。

Reviewed by: マナナ

I participated in three activities: a movie location tour for about 1.5 hours, a jungle tour for about 1.5 hours, and a cruise. While I thought the jungle tour was somewhat lacking in the jungle experience, we did climb Triangle Mountain by jeep during the movie location tour, and at the end, we walked up a mountain path of about 10 meters. We could stop the car along the way to enjoy the scenery, but the view after the hike was truly beautiful. Since it was cloudy that day, I felt it was better to do the cruise for about 1.5 hours instead of spending three hours playing at Secret Island. We left Kualoa Ranch at 2:30 PM and were back at the hotel by 4 PM. Although it was an early morning, I think it was a recommended tour.

映画ロケ地めぐり約1.5時間、ジャングルツアー約1.5時間、クルーズの3種類に参加しました。ジャングルツアーはジャングルとは言えずそこそこかな〜とは思いますが、映画ロケ地めぐりで見た三角山にジープで登り、最後は10m位の山道を徒歩で登りました。途中でも車を止めて景色を見れますが、ブチハイキングの後に見た景色はとても美しかったです。当日は曇っていたのでシークレットアイランドで遊ぶ3時間よりクルーズ約1.5時間にしてよかったと思いました。
14:30にクアロア牧場を出て、16時にはホテルにいました。朝は早いけどオススメツアーだと思いまさした。

I participated in this tour because the sunset tour I attended last time was fully booked. I brought a down coat, and it was indeed cold at the summit. The guide was English-speaking, and that was fine. You can make better use of your time compared to the sunset tour. The breakfast at the golf course was also delicious.

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

Wild Dolphin Watching Cruise (with Snorkeling) / Recommended Plan 野生のイルカ ウォッチングクルーズ(シュノーケル付き) / おすすめプラン

Reviewed by: K.Y

I had signed up to participate on May 12, but my friend who was accompanying me canceled at the last minute due to health issues. My husband and two sisters participated, and they said it was great because dolphins came very close to them both on the way to and from the snorkeling point. They also mentioned that the boat was large and comfortable, but it was a problem that all the explanations were in English, so you need to understand at least some English. It seems there were no other Japanese participants.

5月12日に参加申し込みをしていましたが、私と同行したお友達は体調不良のため直前キャンセルをしました。
主人と妹二人で参加しましたが、シュノーケルポイントまでの行きも帰りも、すぐ近くまでイルカが来てくれてとても良かったとのことです。
船も大きく快適だったそうですが、英語ある程度分から無いと説明が全て英語なので、そこが問題と言ってました。日本人の方は他にはいらっしゃらなかったようです。

I was excited to see the morning whales and set out. It was drizzling a bit, but I boarded the ship. First, we had a morning brunch (buffet), which felt a little lacking. When we arrived along the coast of Diamond Head, I got my camera ready and waited. However, unfortunately, the boat returned. They said they would give us a free ticket to try again during the period, but I can't stay in Hawaii that long. I'll try again next year!

Honolulu Party Bike Brewpub Tour - Beer Lovers Kakaako Bar Hopping [Open 2021]

Lots of fun

Reviewed by: Elizabeth

My fiancé and I originally booked this tour for my birthday but they had to reschedule us because they said we were mistakingly booked with a private party. Rescheduling meant that it was the last activity we did in Hawaii instead of the first like we planned before.
We arrived at the meet up point and we had to wait about 20 minutes for the bike to come to us. Our group completely filled all the spots on the bike which was good I think.
First bar was gastropub,my only complaint is that that brought out two checks for everyone to put their money in instead of splitting the bills per person or per party. But everything was still really great otherwise
2nd and 3rd bars were also great!
Also drink prices were very reasonable, we bought a half gallon of soju, 5 shots and a beer for less than $60 at one bar!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking to get their buzz on and check out some cool bars.

The tour was fully booked, but I was really satisfied with the attention to detail. We had several opportunities to get off the vehicle for photo stops (everywhere was a stunning view), and it was fun to hear various anecdotes about the Big Island. Above all, the sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea and the starry sky without a single cloud were breathtaking!! Although my own camera didn't capture it well, I was pleased to receive beautiful photos taken with a great camera through the download service! I had always been curious about the observatory with the Subaru Telescope after seeing it on TV, so I was happy to get some photos even though we couldn't go inside. It was a truly well-organized tour, and I was very satisfied. I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering joining!

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

Incredible! A natural planetarium! 感動!天然のプラネタリウム!

Reviewed by: dama

In April, we participated in a honeymoon trip. While searching for tours online, I stumbled upon the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour." It seemed to have good reviews, so I signed up for it to create some memorable experiences. We usually don't have the opportunity to gaze at the night sky and don't have much knowledge about astronomy, but as the tour date approached, our excitement grew about what kind of scenery we would see at one of the world's top stargazing spots.

When we arrived at the hotel lobby at the designated time, we were greeted by an incredibly high-energy guide! At first, we were a bit taken aback by his enthusiasm, but as we listened to the non-stop chatter from our tour guide, Macchan, on the bus, we gradually got swept up in his pace.

Mauna Kea is over 4,000 meters high, but we learned that we could take a bus all the way to the summit. At the Onizuka Center, where we stopped for a break, there were many other groups visiting for the sunset tour as well. While resting at the Onizuka Center, we enjoyed a delicious bento box and warm miso soup, and after a quick break, we were lent some warm clothing and set off again towards the summit.

Much of the road along the way was unpaved, making it a bit daunting for individuals to come on their own, but thanks to our experienced tour guide, we reached the summit without feeling anxious.

When we arrived at the summit, the sun was just beginning to set, and we spent some time taking photos with the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds as our backdrop. After taking a few commemorative pictures, we descended to the stargazing spot.

As we watched the night sky gradually darken, an unprecedented number of stars began to appear, creating a truly natural planetarium! We looked at Jupiter and its four moons through a telescope, and as we admired the vividly visible constellations in all directions, time flew by. Our tour guide, Macchan, pointed out the stars with a laser pointer and explained the origins of the constellations in a clear and engaging manner.

After stargazing, we took a restroom break at the Onizuka Center and listened to songs related to stars chosen by Macchan as we descended. It became a wonderful memory of our honeymoon. This is a tour I would definitely want to participate in again if I visit the Big Island!

4月に新婚旅行で参加しました。ネットでツアーを検索している時になんとなく見つけた゛マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー”。評判がよさそうだったとで、旅の思い出作りにとなんとなく申し込みました。普段は夜空をじっくりみる機会もなく、天体の知識もない私たちですが、ツアーの日が近づくにつれ、世界有数の天体観測スポットでどんな景色がみられるのかと期待に胸が膨らんでいきました。
宿泊していたホテルのロビーに指定された時間に行くと、最初から超ハイテンションのガイドさんが!最初はそのハイテンションさに引き気味であった私たちも、バスの中で途切れることのないツアーガイドのまっちゃんのトークを聴いているうちに、徐々にまっちゃんのペースに巻き込まれていきました。

4000mを超えるマウナケアですが、なんとバスで山頂まで行けるとのこと。途中で休憩のために立ち寄ったオニヅカセンターでは、他にもたくさんのグループがサンセットツアーに訪れていました。オニヅカセンターで休憩中においしいお弁当と温かいお味噌汁をいただき、一服した後に防寒具を貸してもらって、再び山頂に向けて出発しました。
途中の路は舗装されていないところも多く、個人で来るには躊躇されるような道でしたが、経験豊富なツアーガイドの方のおかげで、不安な気持ちになることもなくあっという間に山頂につきました。

山頂に到着したときは丁度日が沈みかけており、雲海に沈んでいく夕日をバックに写真を撮って時間をすごしました。ひととおり記念写真を撮った後に、下山し星空観測スポットまで下山しました。

徐々に暗くなっていく夜空を眺めていると、いままで見たことがない数の星が次々と現れてきて、まさに天然のプラネタリウム!でした。天体望遠鏡で木星と4つの衛星をみたり、鮮やかに360°全方向にみられる星座達を眺めているうちにあっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。ツアーガイドのまっちゃんは星空をレーザーポインターで指し示しながら、丁寧にわかりやすく星座の由来などについて説明してくれました。

星空観測の後はオニヅカセンターでのトイレ休憩を挟みながら、まっちゃんチョイスの星に関わる歌謡曲を聴きながら下山しました。新婚旅行の良い思い出になりました。ハワイ島にきたら是非また参加したいツアーです。

The tour was really great! ツアーはとっても良かったです!

Reviewed by: まりりん

The tour was incredibly fun and I had a wonderful experience, so I am very satisfied.

Good points...
- The tour guide quickly went to get and show us rare plants. I was happy because I wouldn't have noticed them myself.
- They constantly checked if we were okay.
- The bento, tea, miso soup, and snacks were all delicious.
- The cold weather gear was sufficient.
- They took photos and offered free downloads. The camera was high-quality and captured the starry sky beautifully, so I thought it was a great service to keep as a memento.

Not-so-good points...
- I think this is unavoidable due to the timing (because it's during Golden Week), but it was a bit tough to ride in a fully packed van. The tour I participated in the day before had a larger and taller van, where a person who is 183 cm could stand comfortably, and it wasn't full, so I was surprised by the crampedness of this one. Since we spent a long time in the car, being fully booked was a bit much... I thought they should add another van.

ツアーはとっても楽しくて素晴らしい経験ができたので大満足です。

良かったこと・・・

・ツアー担当者が、珍しい植物をささっと取りに行って見せてくれたりした。自分ではなかなか気づかないのでうれしい。
・大丈夫ですかー?と常に気遣ってくれる
・お弁当、お茶、お味噌汁、お菓子どれもおいしかった。
・防寒具も十分だった。
・写真を撮ってくれて無料ダウンロードできる。カメラが高機能で星空もきれいに写してくれていたので記念にとっておけてとてもいいサービスだと思った。

良くなかったこと・・・
・これは時期的に仕方ないのだと思うけれど、(ゴールデンウィーク中のため)バンに満員で乗るのはちょっとキツイ。前日に参加したツアーは、ここのバンより大きくて背丈も高く、183cmの人が立てるくらいで人数も満員でなく快適だったのでこの窮屈さに驚きました。
車に乗っている時間も長いので満席はちょっと・・・。もう一台バンを増やしたらいいのに、と思いました。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are also pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the tour services.

Regarding the transportation you mentioned, we hope you understand that the number of vehicles allowed to ascend to the summit of Mauna Kea is limited. Even during the golden period, it involves long-distance travel and full occupancy, and we can imagine that you may not have been able to relax in the vehicle.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will strive to further improve our services in the future.

Thank you for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

ご指摘いただいております配車につきましては、マウナケア山頂に上がれる車の台数が制限されておりますことご理解いただけましたら幸いです。
ゴールデン期間中とはいえ、長距離移動かつ満席での移動となり、車内ではおくつろぎいただけなかったかと察します。

This is my second order. I am staying at the Hilton Grand Waikikian, but both times I was not able to have the car stop in front of the lobby. The driver's notes included what seemed to be an abbreviation for Hilton Rainbow Tower. When making the reservation, I provided the name of the hotel, but it seems meaningless... Does the driver not know? During check-in at the hotel, the front desk staff mentioned that normally, cars can stop in front of the lobby... The driver was actively pointing at the Rainbow Tower and gesturing for us to go there, so we pointed to the opposite side, indicating that we were over there. I wish the information could be communicated properly.

今回2回目のオーダーです。ヒルトン グランドワイキキアンに宿泊なのですが、前回・今回ともロビー前に止めてもらえませんでした。
運転手の記載にはヒルトン レインボータワーらしき略称アルファベットが記入されていました
申込の際に宿泊ホテル名を記入するのですが、意味がありません・・運転手は知らないのでしょうか・・
ホテルチェックインの際、フロントの人が言っていましたが、通常はロビー前に止めてもらえるのですが・・・
運転手は盛んにレインボータワーを指差し、行けと ジェスチャーしていたので、私達はこちらだと反対側を指差しました
情報はキチント伝えて欲しいものです

Comfort Shuttle 快適シャトル

Reviewed by: ヒロシ

There are few hotels that rotate, so it allows for efficient travel to the airport and saves time. The bus interior and seats are spacious, making it a comfortable shuttle service. The price is also very reasonable, and I definitely want to use it again next time.

回るホテル数が少ないので効率よく空港まで行けて時間の節約になります。
バスの車内もシートも広くて快適な送迎サービスです。価格も格安で次回も絶対に利用したいと思います。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール

A perfect star. まさに満点の星

Reviewed by: Cooper

I'm going out to observe the stars at Mauna Kea. Actually, I had already done some stargazing along Saddle Road with another tour two days ago, but I also wanted to see the telescopes at Mauna Kea and booked this tour as a backup in case the weather was bad.

When I arrived at the meeting point 10 minutes before the pickup time, the car just pulled up. Today's guide is nicknamed "Macchan." He was very energetic from the start, which was a bit overwhelming, but I gradually got caught up in his pace.

The car took Saddle Road and made a restroom stop near a military training area. After that, we entered the Mauna Kea Access Road and headed to the Onizuka Center.

First, we had an early dinner at the Onizuka Center. There are several tours for stargazing at Mauna Kea, but I chose Masashi Nature School because their bento looked the best. It actually looked better than the bento from other tours. The warm miso soup was also delicious.

After eating the bento, we took a break to acclimatize. During that time, we observed the silversword plants. We were able to see them just before blooming, while they were blooming, and after they had bloomed.

After the break, we climbed the mountain road. From here, it was a joint tour with two cars. The road ahead was rough and required a 4WD, but as we got closer to the summit, it became paved again and we could see the telescopes.

When we reached the summit, the sun gradually set, and we enjoyed the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds. While we were busy taking photos and having our pictures taken, it got completely dark, and we began our descent.

We stopped the car just past where the paved road ended, and the stargazing began. The moment we got out of the car, a sky full of stars spread out before us. There was still a bit of brightness left, but the number of stars was incredible.

Right in front of us was Orion, and we could clearly see the Milky Way and the Southern Cross. We could also faintly see the red glow from the Kilauea crater. First, we looked at Jupiter through the telescope. The stripes on Jupiter and the Galilean moons were clearly visible. I could also tell that the alignment of the moons had changed since I saw them two days ago. Next, we used a laser pointer to explain the constellations. It was truly like a natural planetarium! After that, we took commemorative photos with long exposure to capture the stars and people together. My camera is a mirrorless one, and I quickly changed the settings to take photos. The red glow of Kilauea in the lower left corner is something unique to this location.

I felt like I could watch the stars forever, but it was time to descend.

On the way back, we had a restroom break at the Onizuka Center, and I felt that the constellations were easier to find there. Near the summit, it was so dark that you could see even the faintest stars, making it difficult to locate constellations because there were so many stars. However, even with that haziness, the quantity of visible stars was greater near the summit, which I found appealing. Additionally, during the stargazing along Saddle Road, we were often disturbed by car lights, but on this tour, there was hardly any traffic, and it remained dark the whole time, which I thought was great.

I heard that the photos from this day can be viewed later by requesting them via email, so I'm looking forward to that as well.

Lastly, thank you, Macchan, for being such a high-energy guide throughout the tour!

マウナケアでの星の観測に出かけます。
実は2日前にも別のツアーでサドルロード脇で星の観測は行っていたのですが、マウナケアの望遠鏡を見たいのと、天候が悪かった場合の保険の意味でこちらのツアーも予約していました。

ピックアップ時間の10分前に集合場所へ行くとちょうど車が到着。
今日のガイドは通称「マッチャン」。最初からテンションが高く、ちょっと引き気味でしたが、次第にこのペースに引きずりこまれていきます。

車はサドルロードを通り、軍隊の練習場の近くでトイレ休憩。その後、マウナケアアクセスロードへ入り、オニヅカセンターへ向かいます。

まずは、オニヅカセンターで早めの夕食です。
マウナケアで星を見るツアーはいくつかありますが、マサシネイチャースクールに決めたのは弁当が一番良さそういうのがありました。
実際に見ても他のツアーの弁当より良く見えました。暖かいみそ汁もおいしかったです。

弁当を食べた後は、しばらく休憩を兼ねた体慣らしです。
その間に、銀剣草を見学します。ちょうど花が咲く前、咲いているところ、咲いた後を見ることができました。

休憩後、山道を登ります。ここからは車2台での合同ツアーです。
ここから先は道が悪く4WDが必要ですが、頂上に近づくと再び舗装路になり望遠鏡が見えてきます。

頂上に着くと、徐々に日も暗くなり雲海に沈む夕日を堪能します。
写真を撮ったり、撮ってもらったりで忙しくしているうちにすっかり暗くなり、下山開始です。

舗装道が切れた先で車を止めいよいよ星空観察開始です。
車から降りた瞬間、満点の星が広がります。まだ少し明るさが残っていますが、星の数がすごいです。

目の前にはオリオン座、天の川や南十字もはっきりと見えます。うっすらと赤くキラウエアの火口の明かりも見えます。
まずは、望遠鏡で木星を見ます。木星の縞模様とガリレオ衛星がはっきりと見えます。2日前に見た時と衛星の並びが変わっているのもわかりました。
次はレーザーポインタで星座の説明。まさに、天然のプラネタリウム!?
その後は、記念撮影ということで長時間露光で星と人物を移し込みます。
私のカメラはミラーレス一眼ですが、設定を素早く変更して写真を撮っていただきました。
左下に赤くキラウエアの赤が見えるのは、この場所ならではと思います。

いつまでもずっと見ていたい気分でしたが、時間が来たので下山です。

途中、オニヅカセンターでトイレ休憩だったので、ここでも星空を見ましたがこちらのほうが星座は探し易いと感じました。
山頂近くは本当に暗い星まで見えるので、星が多すぎて星座を探しにくいようにも感じます。
ただ、そのもやっとした部分も含めて星の見える量では山頂に近い方が多いし、そちらに魅力を感じます。
また、サドルロード脇での星空観察では車のライトで邪魔されることも多かったですが、このツアーでは車の通行がほとんど無く、ずっと暗いままなのが良いと思います。

この日の写真は後でメールで申請すれば見られるそうなので、そちらも楽しみにしています。

最後に、マッチャンさん。終始ハイテンションでのガイド、ありがとうございました。
