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

I was extremely satisfied with the sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea. 大満足のマウナケアの夕日と星空

Reviewed by: Hiro

The guides, Konno and Stefan, were very kind and showed us around. The sunset over the sea of clouds from the summit of Mauna Kea was beautiful, and we could faintly see the Kilauea crater along with a sky full of stars. We were also able to see the craters on the moon through a reflecting telescope. Although it was windy and the temperature was low, we brought hand warmers, so we didn't feel too cold.

ガイドの今野さんとステファンさんが親切に案内してくれ、マウナケア山頂からの雲海に沈む夕日とキラウエア火口がほんのり見え、満天の星空がとてもきれいでした。反射望遠鏡で月のクレーターも見えました。風がふいて気温は低かったですが、ホッカイロも持参して寒さ対策は万全でしたので、さほど寒さは感じませんでした。

My first time at Kualoa. はじめてのクアロア

Reviewed by: みるぼん

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I was invited by my daughter to visit Kualoa for the first time. After having a fun conversation with the pickup staff, we arrived after about an hour on the bus. We participated in the location tour, a jeep tour, and a Kaneohe Bay cruise. The location tour was just as I imagined, and it was quite noisy as we were with a group from a training trip in Japan. The jeep tour was more enjoyable than I expected. Our driver, Mr. Leonald, provided easy-to-understand explanations and offered great service by taking photos at the stopping points. The cruise felt a bit like a way to kill time, but the ocean was very beautiful. I think Kualoa is a place worth visiting at least once to enjoy the great nature.

ハワイ6度目にして、娘に誘われクアロアに始めて行きました。
ピックアップのスタッフと楽しく話しながら、バスに揺られて一時間程で到着しました。
ロケ地めぐりとジープツアー、カネオヘ湾クルーズに参加しました。
ロケ地めぐりは想像通りで、日本の研修旅行の団体と一緒になって、うるさかったです。
ジープツアーが思った以上に楽しかったです。ドライバーのMr.Leonaldの説明が分かり易く、途中の停車ポイントでも写真を撮ってくれたりサービス満点でした。
クルーズは時間つぶしの感がありましたが、海がとても綺麗でした。
クアロアの大自然を満喫して一度は行っても良い場所だと思いました。

wow! Cannot even describe the experience we had.... I really wanted my mother to enjoy this the most and it was great! Although she could not make the hike (because of knee surgery) she had a blast and patiently waited for me to tour and get the pictures for her to cherish....

【冬季限定!1/3~3/21】ホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号 1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船!軽食&ドリンク付き<ワイキキ送迎可>

I could faintly see a tail in the distance. 遠くに微かに尻尾が見えました。

Reviewed by: リボ子

We participated as a family. I think more than half of the guests were Japanese. After we set sail for a while, the captain stopped in an area where whales might be and made announcements in English about which direction they were located. Everyone then rushed over to that side, straining their eyes and holding their breath, staring at the sea. (That silent moment felt strange.)

In my case, there were about 5 or 6 instances like that, but I hardly saw anything. (The photo was taken with a super telephoto lens.) Even if a whale spouted water occasionally, it was hard to tell where it would appear in the vast ocean, and most of the time it was either very far away or a fleeting moment that I missed. No matter how brief or distant it was, if a whale appeared, it would count as an "encounter," so it seems we wouldn't receive a free ticket for the next time.

However, it really seems to be a matter of luck. A lady I met on the boat said that the last time she went, a whale came very close, and it was an impressive sight!

家族で参加しました。お客さんの半分以上は日本の方だったと思います。出港してしばらくすると、船長さんが鯨のいそうなあたりを探して泊まり、英語でどこの方角に居ますとかアナウンスが入ります。すると皆一斉にそっちへ行って目を凝らして海をジッと固唾をのんで目つめます。(そのシーンとした時間が変な感じでした)
私の場合はそういうのが5~6回あって、ほとんどが見れなかった。(写真はカメラの超望遠です)たまに潮ふいたとしても、広い海のどこに出るかわからないし、すんごい遠くにだったり、一瞬の出来事で見逃してしまうのがほとんどかも。どんなに一瞬でも、どんなに遠くでよく見えなくても、現れれば「遭遇した」となるので、次回の無料券はもらえないみたい。
でも、ほんとに運みたいで、船上であったご婦人は、前に乗ったときはすぐ近くに鯨がきて迫力だったわ!なんて仰っておりました。

I was extremely satisfied to encounter a large number of mother and calf humpback whales. 凄く沢山の親子のザトウクジラに遭遇出来て、大満足でした。

Reviewed by: めんちゃん42

It was the right choice to select the largest boat in Hawaii since our family is prone to seasickness. There was absolutely no rocking, so we had no worries about seasickness and thoroughly enjoyed the lunch buffet. While eating lunch, we were able to see many humpback whales spouting, dorsal fins, and tail fins, which got the kids really excited. Onboard, we made leis using orchids that were sized to be worn on our heads, and my daughter had the opportunity to present in front of everyone after taking a hula dance lesson, which made her very happy. The men who took the ukulele lesson also had a performance, and the host sang famous songs from the area where the American guests were from, playing the ukulele and really engaging the guests onboard. It was truly entertaining. For the Japanese guests, they played and sang "Ue o Muite Arukou" on the ukulele, and it was really fun.

船酔いし易い親子なので、ハワイで一番大きな船を選んで正解でした。
全く揺れず船酔いの心配は皆無で、ランチバイキングも存分に満喫できました。
ランチを食べながら沢山の親子のザトウクジラの潮吹き、背びれ、尾びれ等が見られ、子供達も大興奮。
船上では蘭を使って頭に乗せるサイズのレイを作り、フラダンスの講習を受けた娘の頭に乗せて、皆の前で発表もする機会があり、娘も大満足。
ウクレレ講習を受けた男性陣の発表もあり、司会進行役の方はアメリカのお客さんが来た地区に合わせて、その地区の有名な歌をウクレレで唄い、凄く上手に船内のお客さんを盛り上げてくれていて、本当にエンターテイナーでした。
日本人に対しては、ウクレレで「上を向いて歩こう」をウクレレで弾きながら唄い、本当に楽しかったです。

It has been a beautiful night, with a very normal dinner, nothing special for the price, with a beautiful show at the end. My disappointment was because I paid for a Royal seating and the seating was not good at all. I had to stand up and sit on the ground to have a beatiful view and I also didn't get the lei. But all the staff people were really very kind and I enjoyed the traditional dances and the fire knives dance.

I was able to see a whale, but... クジラ見れましたが・・・

Reviewed by: カメハメハ

I participated in the tour on April 11. I opted for the shuttle service, but there was only one other group besides my child and me. The bus driver was very pleasant and made sure to check if the air conditioning was too cold for us. The tour guide was also very nice.

When we arrived at the port, it seemed that the other tour guests had come on their own, and I thought we could have taken The Bus as well. Once on board, we were given a file with explanations about the ship and whales in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, and we were instructed to wait in the cabin until the captain's speech was over.

Until we reached the viewing point, announcements about whales and viewpoints on Oahu were made in Japanese as well. When we stopped at the point, we were able to see some whales after a while, but only a little bit of spouting, backs, and tails were visible from the waves. If you’re not carefully watching the surface of the water, you might miss them, so if you're expecting to see big jumps like in photos, you might be disappointed. However, it was great to see the large cruise ships, Waikiki, and Diamond Head from the sea.

Once we were out at sea, the wind was strong, and there were moments when the boat rocked quite a bit, so if you tend to get motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand. On the way back, I asked the driver to drop us off at the Ward Shopping Center near the port instead of our hotel in Waikiki, which helped shorten our travel time, and that was great.

4月11日にツアー参加。
送迎有りにしましたが、利用したのは私達親子の他、もう一組のみでした。バスのドライバーさんは感じがよく、エアコンが寒くないか等気遣って頂きました。
添乗員さんもすごく感じが良かったです。
港まで行くと他のツアー客は自力で来た様で、ザ・バスでも行けたなと思いました。
乗船すると、船やクジラの説明が記載された(英語、日本語、中国語、韓国語)ファイルを渡され、船長のスピーチが終わるまで船室で待つようにとのことでした。
ポイントに着くまで、クジラやオアフ島でのビューポイント等の説明が日本語でもアナウンスされていました。
ポイントで停泊し、しばらくするとクジラは見れましたが、波間からほんの少し潮吹きや背中や尾ビレが見えるくらいでした。
注意深く海面を見ていないと見逃してしまいそうな程でしたので、写真で見る大ジャンプ等を期待して行くとがっかりします。
でも海上から大型クルーズ船やワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッドを見れたのは良かったです。
沖に出ると風が強く、大きく揺れる場面もあったので、乗り物酔いする方はあらかじめ薬を飲んでおいた方がよいかもしれません。

I think you can still have fun even if you don't see any whales. クジラに会えなくても楽しめると思います。

Reviewed by: 思い出は心に

Since it's nature, I prepared myself for the possibility that I might not see any whales (but deep down, I really wanted to). The weather was nice, so I thought just seeing the hotels in Waikiki from the ocean would be a good experience. However, I did get to see the whales! (I’m not sure how low my expectations were, but it felt like I encountered more than I had anticipated. Once they started appearing, they were quite visible almost continuously.) I didn’t get to see the dynamic jumps like in the tour's promotional photos, but I did see them spouting water, and I enjoyed watching what seemed to be a mother and calf taking breaths in succession multiple times.

I think taking photos is quite challenging. By the time you think, "There it is," they dive back down, so with a smartphone camera, by the time you press the shutter, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll only capture waves (laughs). My mother was using a compact camera, but when I looked at the photos later, it was like, "Hmm?? Where??" Unless you have the right skills and a camera (with zoom and continuous shooting), I recommend just imprinting the experience in your memory.

I didn’t fully understand what "English guide" meant, and I was actually a bit anxious, but I think it probably means that the guide who assists during pickup will only speak English. It seems that as long as you can say your name (the applicant's name) at the reception, there won’t be any issues. After confirming the name, I was given a sticker as a boarding pass. I boarded a large shared bus (like a tour bus) at the Sheraton, and after getting on, a video with announcements in Japanese played inside the bus. Once on board, the captain and guide greeted us and provided information, all in English. They explained how long we would be traveling, when lunch would start, and which direction to look for whales. After the explanations, a recorded announcement in Japanese was played.

The announcements regarding the whales were also in English, but since everyone else on board looked in the same direction, it was okay even if you couldn’t catch everything in English.

I brought my grandmother, who has difficulty walking, but even without going out to the third-floor observation deck, we could see the whales (spouting water) well from inside the cabin.

My 11-year-old son was so excited that he forgot to eat. I even thought it might have been fine without a meal.

As we approached the time to return to land, an experience program started on the boat. I participated in a lei-making experience, which was a great experience. In the hula class, the little hula girls were dancing with all their might. The ukulele class seemed popular with the fathers, and at the end, there was a collaboration with the little hula girls that turned into a mini showtime, allowing even the other passengers who weren’t participating to enjoy it together.

This tour, where you might get to see humpback whales that you can't see at an aquarium, is definitely worth participating in. I didn’t need it, but for those who might be anxious, I think it would be good to bring motion sickness medication.

対、自然のことなので、クジラには会えないかもという心づもりで(でも本心は会いたい)臨みました。
天気がよかったので、滞在しているワイキキのホテル群を沖から見るだけでもいい経験だと思います。
ですが、ちゃんとクジラたちには会えました!
(どんだけ期待値低かったのかはわかりませんが)思っていたよりたくさん遭遇できたように感じます。見えだしたらけっこう絶え間なく見えます。
ツアーの商品紹介の写真のようなダイナミックなジャンプを見ることはかないませんでしたが、潮を吹くところも見れましたし、親子でしょうか立て続けに息継ぎをする様を何度も楽しむことができました。
写真を撮るのは至難の業だと思います。
「出た」と思ったらすぐに潜ってしまうので、スマホのカメラですとシャッターを押すころにはほぼ間違いなく波しか写っていません(笑)
母はコンデジで撮っていましたが、後から見ましたら「う~ん??どこ??」な感じでした。
それ相応のテクとカメラ(望遠・連写)をお持ちの方でないならば自分の目に焼き付けることをお勧めします。

<英語ガイド>というのがよく理解できていなくて、実は内心不安でしたがおそらく送迎時に対応してくれるガイドの方が英語しか話せませんよという意味でしょうか。
受付の時に自分の(申込者)名前さえ言えれば問題ないようです。
名前のチェックが済むと乗車券がわりのシールを渡されました。
シェラトンで乗合の大型バス(観光バスのようなもの)に乗ったのですが、乗車後に車内のビデオで日本語の案内が流れます。
乗船してから船長やガイドの方があいさつや案内があります。これはすべて英語です。
今からどれくらい移動するとか、何時ごろランチが始まるとか、クジラが見える方向はガイドが教えますとか、そういったことを説明しているようです。
一通り説明が終わると日本語で録音されたアナウンスが流れます。

肝心のクジラが見えだしてからのアナウンスも英語ですが、一緒に乗船している他の方が一斉にその方向を見ますので、英語が聞き取れなくても大丈夫でした。

足の悪い祖母を連れて行きましたが、3階の展望デッキに出なくとも、室内からでも十分クジラの姿(潮を吹く様)を見ることができました。

11歳の息子は興奮しっぱなしで、食事をするのも忘れるほどでした。
食事なしでもよかったかもと思うくらい。

陸に戻る時間になると、船内で体験プログラムが始まります。
レイ作り体験を体験しましたが、とてもいい経験になりました。
フラ教室ではチビッコフラガールたちが一生懸命踊っていました。
ウクレレ教室はお父様方に人気のようで、最後にチビフラガールたちとコラボでミニーショータイム状態になって盛り上がり参加していない他の乗客たちも一緒に楽しめました。

This is my several times visiting Hawaii. I usually do marine sports, but this time I participated in the Kualoa Tour for the first time. I wasn't expecting much, but I was overwhelmed by the magnificent nature. I was able to relax and take my time. My elementary school children also said they want to go again! Next time, I want to ride a horse.

何度目かのハワイ。いつもはマリンスポーツ系だったのですが、今回初めてクアロアツアーに参加。あんまり期待していなかった?のですが、壮大なる自然に圧倒。悠々として、時間ものんびりすごせました。小学生の子供たちもまた行きたい!と。今度は馬に乗りたいです

Waikiki Shuttle to Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & City Tour - Roberts Hawaii

What a pity!

Reviewed by: Marzia (Roma-Italy)

This tour was very disappointing, because I have chosen it not only to visit the Arizona memorial (a visit that can be done in complete autonomy), but to take advantage of the city shuttle tour to get a first impression of the city of Honolulu. I knew it would have been only a short morning tour, but it was almost useless to do it because we didn't see practically anything. However, and this is the great disappointment, we were half an hour in a gift shop! Half an hour which obviously could be devoted to the city tour. However the visit the Arizona Memorial is a "must do" moving experience, and the driver of the shuttle was an Amazing and caring person.

Explore the Scenic West Maui Coast on a Private Tour with Iao Valley, Waterfalls & Cultural Gardens

A cherry on top!

Reviewed by: Marzia (Roma-Italy)

This tour was the last thing I did in Hawaii, but certainly the most beautiful and the most intense. It was born in my head as a different way to get to the airport and it proved rather to be the cherry on top! I met at dawn my personal guide, Jasmine Kilborn, a magnificent Hawaiian girl who transmitted to me all her love for the island of Maui, for the history of Hawaii, for their traditions. We visited amazing places and we breathed the magic of nature in its more authentic splendor: old Lahaina, Nakalele Blowhole, Makamakaole Stream and Waterfalls.... The road itself was worth the travel and during the trip Jasmine told me about religion, Hawaiian language, Hawaiian habits and she put traditional music and songs to accompany the emotions that we lived. I felt a real sense of accomplishment! MAHALO NUI LOA!

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Great trip

Reviewed by: NZ family

We really enjoyed the Early bird cruise with breakfast - so much so that we did it the next day too! We didn't see whales the first day and only had a few days left of our trip so used the whale check the next day and had just as good a time. The food was fine, the staff knowledgable and there were plenty of great spots to be on the boat. I enjoyed being right up the top - great view, warm from the engine vents and speakers so I could hear the commentary.

Temptation Tours Luxury Maui Road to Hana Tours & Deluxe Experience

Wonderful day - January 2015

Reviewed by: R H

Took all day but fantastic trip!! Last time we drove and only made it halfway. I highly recommend the tour. You're limited on the number of stops you make, but the tour hit the highlights; and my husband enjoyed the tour so much better than driving. "Z" was our driver and he was fantastic. I told him he was the best tour guide I had ever seen - so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He added much more information (history, plant life, etc.) than a typical guide. We took the luxuary tour with only 5 other passengers - much prefer this than a larger bus. Full breakfast in Paia and great lunch in Hana included.

  • One of the many curves. "Z" made it look easy.

  • Beautiful waterfalls

  • Double rainbow at the end of the day
