The transportation was smooth, and despite the strong winds, the boat didn't sway much, which was great. However, unfortunately, we weren't able to see any whales.
送迎もスムーズで船も風が強かったにも関わらずあまり揺れることなく良かったです。ただ、残念ながらクジラを見ることが出来きませんでした。

I participated in the tour at the movie village and the secret beach. The movie village was very good, but the secret beach felt like being under a tent due to heavy rain, and when I finally thought the bus would come to pick us up, it took a long time to arrive, leaving me with a negative impression. I understand that the weather was a factor, but what I found disappointing was that I left something on the return bus, and when I inquired about it, I didn't receive proper assistance. They said they would check and get back to me, but I never heard from them. I know it's my fault for leaving something behind overseas, but I felt the response was quite poor. It's disappointing.
ツアー自体は、映画村とシークレットビーチに参加しました。 映画村はとても良かったのですが、シークレットビーチは大雨でほとんどテントの下にいるような感じで、やっと帰れると思ったらなかなかバスが迎えに来なく良い印象がありません。天気の問題もあったのでしょうがないのですが、私が残念だと感じたのが、帰りのバスに忘れ物をしてしまい問い合わせたところまともに対応してもらえず確認して折り返すと言って連絡がなかったこと。
海外で忘れ物をしたこちらが悪いのですが、あまりにも対応が酷いように感じました。残念です。
We apologize that you were unable to enjoy your experience due to the unfortunate weather. Which department did you contact regarding your lost item? We always confirm with the bus company about lost items and will reach out to you. We appreciate your understanding, and if you had contacted us, it would be helpful to know which staff member assisted you for our service improvement.

Mr. Roberts has a lot of availability, so I felt comfortable using his service. The vehicle was clean, and I think it suits meticulous Japanese people well. I will use it again.

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. Since I don't usually do stargazing, I wasn't very interested while looking at the travel guide, but after hearing the travel agent passionately say, "Mauna Kea is a special place where observatories from various countries are located, and you can see an incredible night sky," I decided to go.
On the day of the tour, they picked us up by van at our hotel. We stopped at about three hotels to pick up other guests before heading out. During the ride, I met a couple from the same prefecture, and we had a great time chatting, so I was never bored. The guide's commentary was not the usual scripted bus guide style; it was friendly and enjoyable, making the trip comfortable. Along the way, we learned about a plant called the silver sword, which only exists in two or three places in the world. It’s an endangered species, and true to its name, it was silver and rare, so I was glad to see it.
To prevent altitude sickness, we took a break for about an hour at the Onizuka Business Center on the mountainside. We also learned some breathing techniques to avoid altitude sickness. Although we were still a bit away from the summit, it was already cold. It was hard to believe this was Hawaii. I was glad to see a different side of Hawaii.
We had a makunouchi bento, warm miso soup, and hot coffee. Everything was delicious, but given the cold, the miso soup was the best. They lent us quite warm windbreakers, hats, and gloves, and we could also get hand warmers, but since there’s a limited number, I think it’s better to bring your own. The summit is quite cold, so it’s advisable to prepare thermal wear like Heattech. We also brought some based on other people's reviews.
At the top, we watched the sunset. There were many observatories from various countries at the summit, including a large one from Japan. Although there were a few clouds that day, they cleared up just in time for the sunset, which was magical, as it felt like we were looking at the boundary between the universe and Earth from a place higher than Mount Fuji. We took a lot of photos ourselves, but I recommend having the guide take some as well. The guide knows the best angles and ideas (like jumping or holding the sun in your hands). Looking back, we got some great shots, making for wonderful memories. When we were taking photos on our own, the guide kindly offered to help, which was a nice touch.
Stargazing was done a little below the summit. After sunset, the observatories take priority at the top, so it seems there’s a rule to observe from a bit lower down. Even from this spot, we could see an incredible number of stars that I had never seen before. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The guide’s explanations using a laser pointer were very clear and enjoyable, with a light and engaging style that made it fun. We could also take photos here. They used special equipment to capture both the starry sky and people at the same time. I got to take a commemorative photo with the Southern Cross, which is something you rarely see in Japan.
On the way back, we enjoyed relaxing music related to the night sky as we were driven back to the hotel. I couldn’t help but laugh when a song by Kenichi Mikawa played along the way. The ride was bumpy on unpaved roads, with the vehicle shaking quite a bit. The road was rough, with rocks and sand affecting the tires, but the guide's driving felt safe. For someone inexperienced, it would be the kind of off-road that might make you want to give up and go home. I think it’s a good idea to take motion sickness medicine just in case.
It was a long review, but it was a thoroughly satisfying tour! Next time, I want to join the sunrise tour!
新婚旅行でこのツアーに参加しました。
普段天体観測をする事もないので、旅行ガイドを見ている段階ではあまり興味はありませんでしたが旅行代理店の方が「マウナケアは各国の天文台が設置してあるくらい特別な星空が見える場所ですよ」と熱く語っているのを聞いて行く事にしました。
当日は、宿泊するホテルまでバンで迎えに来て頂きました。
他のお客さんを乗せるために3件ほどホテルを経由してから出発します。
車中では同県に住んでいるご夫婦ともお会いでき、楽しく話をしながらでしたのでまったく退屈しなかったです。
そして、ガイドの方の案内はバスガイドのように決まりきった事を話している訳ではなく、フレンドリーな感じで楽しく快適でした。
途中で銀剣草という世界でも2~3箇所にしか生息していない植物を教えてもらいました。
絶滅危惧種との事で、名前の通り銀色で珍しく、見れて良かったです。
高山病予防の為に、山腹にあるオニヅカビジネスセンターで1時間ほど休憩します。
あと高山病にならないための、呼吸法など教わりました。
ここは山頂まではもう少しありますが既に寒いです。ここがハワイとは思えません。
ハワイの別の顔を見れて良かったです。
幕の内弁当と暖かいお味噌汁とホットコーヒーを頂きました。
どれも美味しかったですが寒い中なのもあり、お味噌汁が一番美味しかったです。
かなり暖かい繋ぎのウインドブレーカーと帽子手袋を貸して頂きました、
カイロをもらうこともできましたが、個数に限りがあるので持参するほうが良いと思います。
山頂はかなり寒いので、インナーはヒートテックなど防寒着を別に準備していくほうが良いです。私たちも他の方のクチコミを見て、用意していきました。
頂上で日の入りを見ます。頂上には各国の天体観測所が沢山ありました。
日本の大きな天体観測所もありました。
当日は少し雲がある状態でしたが、日の入りの時間は雲がなくなっていて、日の入りが見れました。
富士山より高い場所での日の入りは宇宙と地球の境目を見ているようで幻想的でした。
自分たちで写真もたくさん撮りましたが、ガイドさんに撮っていただくのがオススメです。
ガイドさんはベストアングルやアイデア(ジャンプしているところや、太陽を手に持っている所)を知っていますので。
後から見ても良いショットが撮れていたので、良い記念になりました。
自分たちだけで、撮っていたときにガイドさんのほうから声を掛けてくれました。
心遣いがうれしかったです。
星空観測は、頂上から少し下ったところで行いました。日が沈んだ後は頂上は各国の天体観測が優先される為に、頂上から少し下ったところで観測する決まりがあるようです。
この場所からの星空でも、見た事がない程の多くの星が見えます。息を呑む美しさでした。
ガイドの方のレーザーポインタを使った説明がとても分かりやすくて良かったです。小難しい事無く喋りが軽快な感じで楽しかったです。
ここでも写真撮影をしてもらえます。星空と人物を同時に撮影する特殊な機材で撮影してもらえました。日本ではなかなか見ることが出来ない南十字星と一緒に撮影してもらい、記念になりました。
帰りの車内は、星空に関連した音楽が流れてのんびり帰る感じで、ホテルまで送って頂きました。途中、美川憲一の曲が流れたときは笑ってしまいました。
未舗装道路を通ります際に車内は揺れます。かなり荒れた道で岩や砂にタイヤが取られていましたが、ガイドさんの運転は安心できる感じでした。
慣れていない素人なら、諦めて帰るぐらいのオフロードです。念のため酔い止めの薬は飲んでおいた方が良いかと思います。
長くなりましたが、大満足のツアーでした!次回はサンライズツアーに参加したいです!

Once I passed through the exit, a staff member in a green uniform from Roberts was waiting right there, and I was able to board the shuttle smoothly. It was helpful to have a company that operates 24 hours.

This tour was astonishing, we had our best time in Hawaii. Starting, our host Jim Carey a gentleman, expert story teller of Hawaiian culture. On the road we could see lava tubes, alien landscapes, the marvelous Mauna Kea where is an astronomical observatory and we had a windy delicious pic nic lunch. Near the city of Hilo, we had our second stop for seeing the Rainbow Falls, a fantastic view of the beauty and force of nature. Not far, Hilo, a rainy city, where is the University of Hawaii and the unforgettable chocolate factory where one can find all kind of delicious chocolates, candies, cookies, macadamia nuts. No one can leave that place without a full bag while Jim Carey is calling you with the sound of ukelele. Also you can take pictures of the statue of king Kamehameha in a park. Then, we took our way to Volcanoes National Park, which welcomed us with a warm fumarole that wet us in a strange but nice sensation. Then, the first wonderful breathtaking view of the Kilauea volcano, a vision like we were in Mars. The museum shows what the nude eye can’t see in a volcano, like Pele´s hair and lava forest. After, an outstanding landscape, the lava river, an unbelievable wonder full of mystery. We took a path through the rainy forest, where the flowers and the tree of Pele’s legend grow in the middle of volcanic rocks. Then Jim took us to a cozy restaurant, with a chimney attended by his owner. Dinner was awesome, very tasty, as the special passion fruit tea. At night we had the vision of fire in the middle of the night, the Kilauea's dancing lava took our breath away, an unforgettable moment, almost mystical. Pictures can’t catch that beauty, but the telescope that Jim takes with him did.
Back in the van a great surprise waited for us. Like a love detail, a hot coco and cookies appeared to warm us. On our road back more than one fell asleep dreaming of the most wonderful day of their lives. Mahalo from Colombia.
Aloha! Mahalo for joining us on our Deluxe Volcano Experience. We are so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful day with Jim. He truly loves sharing his songs and stories of Hawaii with our guests, helping them to connect with our island while on tour. We are delighted that you enjoyed all the stops and treats throughout the day. Dinner at the Kilauea Lodge is so special and always helps our guests warm back up on those cold Volcano nights! Mahalo for your recommendation and we hope to see you next time you visit the Big Island.

We started the morning with very warm welcome with big smile of the guide in front of our hotel lobby. His name was Jim Carey. Since we were Japanese visiting from Japan, he was concerned about the tour being conducted in English. We said we were Okay, try to keep up. He kindly told us that he would try to speak.
As we started the actual tour and as we picking up the more new guests, he explain the schedule of the day again and again. so everybody know how that day is gonna be.
As we were on the move, he had full of stories of scenic locations, Hawaiian history and cultures.
At the lunch, we had Pick-nick lunch at the base of Mauna Kea, we had the Chicken Caesar wrap at very fine environment. When it was time to go, Jim was not calling out the guest but he was playing songs with the Ukulele to let people know that it is time to go, what a kind way to notify!!
After that we went to Hiro, there we did not have much time to stop so Jim was explaining lots of stuff as he drove by. Then after that we went to the Rainbow Fall, although we could not see the rainbow, it was beautiful fall.
Then here comes the main event, the volcano. We visited the steam vent and couple of other scenic points and a little hiking it was very interesting and felt really good to hike in unusual volcanic environment. Only thing was that rain came and went repeatedly. Then we moved to the location of Lava tube. It was awesome!! Here also, Jim had a wonderful stories to tell. We learned a lot of stuff from him.
Then we moved to the lodge/Restaurant for the dinner. Surprisingly the dinner was much better quality than we expected. After the dinner, when we got out of the restaurant, it was dark but very clear sky, we went back to volcano and saw lava splash and million stars with Jim's stories. Totally different face the volcano showed us from earlier that day.
All activities were finished and on the way back to the hotel, we are so tired and fell asleep. Best tour ever!!
Aloha and Mahalo for joining us on our Deluxe Volcano Experience! We are delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful day with Jim. His love for Hawaii shines through his songs and stories of the islands. It sounds like you folks had no problem keeping up and really enjoyed your day! Excellent!

We were very excited from the begening because of what the people were saying about eh tour. And we were right to be. The Tour is more than amazing, from the day before, I received a call in my hotel room to confirm the pick up time and he was there in the next day about 11:30h. He was Jim Carrey (no, not the famous one haha, but was so brilliant as the other!). Our tour guide was more than fantastic, a lot of histories about legends and culture from Hawaii than you could imagine. We had lunch in the way to Hilo, in a such nice beautiful place close to the Manua Lea. After that we took our way to Hilo, but before we went to the beautiful rainbow fall, not so beautiful, but very nature, in the midle of a forest, we loved. Hilo was a nice surprised, we went to a Candie Shop from Big Islands, huge store and my wife fall in love, she loves chocolates haha. After that we went to the volcano site at day, before dinner, was such a nice surprise, first time close to a active volcano. And every time with the histories from our brilliant guide. The dinner was one of the best parts of the tour, the best soup ever, and a very friendly restaurant, we loved every moment. After sunset, we return to the volcano to see the magic at night and we were really surprised and satisfied. I want thank Jim and everyone envolved, was one of the best days of our lives, and the best day of our honeymoon!! Guilherme Marinho and Aline Amaral.

The sunset observation point is at an altitude of 4,200 meters, where the oxygen concentration is only about 60% of that at ground level. To acclimate, we took a break at around 2,000 meters to move our bodies and had dinner at the Onizuka Visitor Center (2,800 meters) before taking a walk to see the silversword plant. After that, we climbed for a while on a bumpy off-road path. We then returned to a paved road and took a break near the Subaru Telescope (4,139 meters). The shadows of people were impressively long. Finally, we climbed up to 4,200 meters to witness the setting sun. Not only the sunset, but also the shadow of Mauna Kea and the Earth's shadow after sunset were beautiful. There is a rule that you must descend from the summit within 30 minutes after sunset, so we did stargazing at a point a bit lower down. The starry sky was magnificent, and our guide made it very easy to understand by pointing out constellations with a green laser.
During the tour, the guide took many photos for us, which we could later download from the web. There were many good photos, but since the logo of Masashi Nature School is in the bottom right corner, I think it would be a good idea for those who are concerned to bring their own good camera. Also, the fee does not include a tip, so it can be a bit of a hassle to think about how much to give.
夕日の観測点は4200mの高さ。酸素濃度も地上の60%しかないそうです。体を慣らすため、2000mくらいのところで休憩して体を動かしたり、オニズカ・ビジターセンター(2800m)で夕食弁当をいただいてギンケンソウを見に散歩したりする時間を作ってくれました。そこからしばらくオフロードのガタガタ道を登ります。その後舗装された道に戻り、すばる望遠鏡(4139m)付近で休憩。人影がものすごく長いのが印象的でした。そしていよいよ4200mまで登り、沈む夕日を拝みます。夕日だけでなく、マウナケア山の影や、日没後の地球の影もきれいでした。日没後30分以内に山頂を降りないという規則があるそうで、星空観測はまたしばらく下ったポイントでします。満天の星空が広がりすごいですが、さらにガイドさんが緑色のレーザーで指し示しながら説明をしてくれたのでとてもわかりやすかったです。
ツアー中はガイドさんにたくさん写真を撮ってもらえ、あとでWebからダウンロードできました。よい写真が多かったですが、右下にマサシネイチャースクールのロゴが入っているので、気になる人は自分でもよいカメラを持っていって撮るとよいと思います。あと料金にチップが含まれていないので、お渡し額を考えるのが少し面倒です。

We participated as a couple. We boarded the boat with a mix of skepticism and high expectations about what we would see. Every time someone shouted, there was a commotion and movement, which was a bit tiring... but we did see it. Just when we thought we might not see anything, we spotted the tail... Unfortunately, we couldn't see the large body, but the view of Honolulu Beach from the sea was breathtaking. I would like to participate again during a better season.

During my personal trip to the Big Island, I participated in this tour. I usually don't join tours, but after researching, I realized that going to the summit of Mauna Kea, which is over 4,000 meters high, is quite challenging on your own, so I decided to take this tour.
As a result, my concerns about being rushed, which is common with tours, were completely unfounded. I was able to enjoy the sunset and stargazing in a relaxed atmosphere, creating wonderful memories.
They picked me up by van at my hotel, and while enjoying the lively talk from the guide and the magnificent nature views from the window, we headed towards Mauna Kea.
First, we stopped at the Onizuka Business Center on the slopes of Mauna Kea, where we had a bento box and warm miso soup. After acclimatizing to the altitude for about an hour, we set off for the summit of Mauna Kea. There were unpaved gravel roads along the way, which would be quite difficult to drive on your own. Considering the various risks, I thought it was wise to join a tour like this.
When we reached the summit area, we borrowed cold-weather gear and enjoyed the sunset. After the sunset, we did some stargazing a little further down the mountain. The air was incredibly clear, and looking up at the night sky, I saw a sky full of twinkling stars. It was very moving. The guide's explanations of the stars using a laser pointer were very easy to understand, so even if you're not knowledgeable about stars, it’s no problem at all. We also took commemorative photos with the stars and Kilauea Volcano in the background, and the entire tour was satisfying from start to finish.
I definitely want to participate again when I visit the Big Island.
個人旅行でハワイ島を訪れた際に、こちらのツアーに参加しました。普段、ツアーに参加することはほとんどないのですが、色々調べたところ、4000メートル級のマウナケアの山頂に個人で行くのは結構大変だということがわかり、こちらのツアーにお世話になりました。
結果、懸念していた、ツアーにありがちな時間に追われるといったことも全くなく、ゆったりとした時間のなかで、サンセット、星空観測を楽しむことができ、最高の思い出をつくることができました。
宿泊するホテルまでバンで迎えに来て頂き、車内でガイドさんの方の軽快なトークと車窓から眺める雄大な自然を楽しみながら、マウナケアを目指しました。
まずマウナケア山腹のオニヅカビジネスセンターというポイントで、幕の内弁当と暖かいお味噌汁を頂き、小一時間、高地に体を慣らした後、マウナケアの山頂に向けて出発です。途中、未舗装の砂利道もあり、もし個人で運転するとなれば相当大変です。様々なリスクを考えると、このようなツアーに参加して行くのが賢明と思いました。
頂上付近に着くと防寒具を借り、サンセットを鑑賞しました。サンセットの後は、少し山を下ったところで、星空観測をしました。空気はとても澄みきっており、夜空を見上げると満点の星が瞬いていました。とても感動しました。ガイドさんのレーザーポインタを使った星の説明が大変わかりやすく、星に疎くても全く問題ありませんでした。キラウエア火山をバックにいれた、星空との記念写真も撮って頂き、最初から最後まで満足のいくツアー内容でした。
またハワイ島を訪れた際には、ぜひ参加したいと思います。

At the end of 2015, I participated in a tour during my last trip to the US. I returned to Japan safely at the end of March, and now that I've finally settled down, I'm posting this.
The land of lava! Tropical creatures! The scenery! Everything was moving!
It was my first time at an altitude of over 4,000 meters, and I got there easily by car.
First, I was amazed by the sunset there.
After that, when darkness enveloped us, I finally understood that the Milky Way I learned about in textbooks was a galaxy of overlapping stars. I was deeply moved! You really can't convey that experience without seeing it with your own eyes.
And above all, I was impressed by our guide! Despite being in a very dangerous place (the car was severely damaged on the way back!), we were able to enjoy it safely and truly.
I will definitely go again. Thank you!
2015年末にUS赴任最後の旅行でツアー参加しました。3月末無事に日本に戻れ、ようやく落ち着いたので投稿です。
溶岩の大地!トロピカルな生物!景色!すべてが感動!
生まれて初めて標高4000m超、しかも車に乗って軽々と。
まずはそこでサンセットに感動。
その後闇に包まれてから見える天の川は教科書で習った銀河の星が折り重なったものであることをやっと教えてくれました。心の底から大感動!あればっかりは生の目で見ないとどうにもこうにも伝えようがないです。
そして何よりガイドさんに感動!かなり危険な場所(帰り道で車が大破してた!)であるにもかかわらず本当に本当に安全に楽しめました。
また必ず行きます。よろしく!

This was just perfect for me and aside from the strong winds causing the visitor center to be closed , I was very happy I took the self guided tour and yet had the informative drive up to the drop off location with the added pointers, water and walking stick (it did come in handy but I could've done without it). It was a good value and our driver Romero , was great!

I first visited the Big Island of Hawaii 10 years ago, and since then, I've always wanted to join this tour to the summit of Mauna Kea for stargazing. However, my trips to the Big Island have always been decided at the last minute, so I couldn't participate in this popular tour. This time, I signed up as soon as my trip was confirmed, and I finally got to join.
The sunset viewed from 4,000 meters above sea level and the starlit sky from around 2,700 meters are breathtaking! You can only see this in the Big Island. Since it was the 27th day of the lunar month, there was no moonlight, and the stars were especially brilliant. It was cold, but I definitely want to participate again.
初めてハワイ島に行ったのは10年前ですが、その時からマウナケア山頂と星空観測があるこのツアーに参加したいと常に思っていました。
でも、ハワイ島に行くのが決まるのがいつも直前なので、人気のこのツアーに参加することは出来ず、今回は3旅行が決まってから早々に申し込み、やっと参加できました。
地上4000メートルから見る夕陽、2700メートル辺りから見る星空は、絶景‼️
ハワイ島でしか見られません。
丁度月齢が27日だったので、月明かりも
なく、特に星の輝きが凄ご〜い。
寒いけれど、また是非参加したいです。

Although the bus driver was very knowledgeable, this trip did not meet our expectations. The young adults on the trip were anticipating a dip in one of the Seven Pools only to find they were closed as was the trail leading up to see 5 of the seven. No mention of this was made until we were driving in. We would not have taken this excursion. Also, the bus driver talked 100% of the time and coughed about 50%. Not an enjoyable day as I am now sick.
