The altitude was high, and I was a bit worried about my health, but I participated anyway. We took breaks along the way, had meals, and enjoyed jokes from our guide in the car, and we made it to the summit safely. The sunset was wonderful, and the explanation of the constellations made for an amazing experience.

We encountered about ten whales during the cruise. They appeared very close to the boat, which was truly moving. It was a bit disappointing that the Japanese announcements came after the English ones, causing a slight delay in the whale sighting announcements.
クルーズ中に10頭ほどのクジラに遭遇。船のすぐ近くにも現れて感動ものでした。日本語の案内が英語の後なのでクジラ出現のアナウンスがワンテンポ遅れてしまうのが少し残念。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
It was lucky to see as many as 10 whales!

We are residents in Hawaii, actually we moved here from California about 5 years ago and while kids are off school on their fall break, I decided to take them out. I didn't realize there's actually a lot to do and see here, thanks to my cousin, Emily, who works for VELTRA that recommended me to do these things.
Kualoa Ranch is amazingly beautiful! We checked-in at 8:00am to do the Full Day Experience Pass and it was the perfect time as we were able to do four different activities. We did the Jungle Expedition and although it was a really bumpy ride (which is quite fun actually), the view of the Chinaman's hat island upon reaching the top after our small hike was breathtaking! We did the Ocean Voyaging which is nice also as we got to see the view of the windward side from a far, the Ranch & Movie Tour, and the Ancient Fishing Grounds & Tropical Gardens Tour. Buffet lunch was also included in the Value Pass and the menu items are so ono(delicous)! Overall, it was a really fun and exciting experience!

Reasons for choosing this tour: 1) The rental car is required to be a 4WD, and there is no coverage for breakdowns or accidents on mountain routes. 2) Cold weather gear (jacket, pants, gloves, hat) is provided. 3) There is an explanation during the stargazing.
I felt the tour price was quite high, but considering the preparation of vehicles suitable for high altitudes and rough roads, the timing (at night), and the content, I think it is reasonable.
Good points about Masashi NS: 1) Nowadays, pre-packaged meals are the norm, but this tour uses lunch boxes like those from a school cafeteria, and miso soup is served in bowls! I was impressed by their consideration for the environment. This was the first time I had a lunch box and bowl in Hawaii; the rice was a bit hard, but I enjoyed it beautifully. 2) The staff took photos with my camera and uploaded them to the blog that evening, allowing us to enjoy the afterglow, and I could download the photos for free. (I slightly regret not having more family photos taken...)
On the day, there were clouds at high altitudes, so we couldn't see the beautiful sunset sinking into the sea of clouds, but we could see Mauna Loa and Haleakalā beyond the clouds, the majestic Subaru, the changing colors of the sky and clouds, and I was moved by the momentary brilliance of the sunset. I also enjoyed a sky full of stars, including Saturn.
The tour itself was not deluxe, but it was simple and sincere, truly deserving of the name "Nature School." Thank you to Mr. Konno and Mr. Stefan for accompanying us this time.
当ツアーにした理由①レンタカーは4WDが原則で山岳ルートでの故障・事故には保障なし。②防寒具(ジャケット、ズボン、手袋、帽子)が用意される。③星座観察での説明
ツアー代金はいい値段(高い)と感じましたが、今は高地・悪路対応の車両の準備、催行時間(夜)、内容を考えたら妥当と思っています。
マサシNSの良かった点①昨今の食事はパックの弁当が主流ですが、当ツアーは給食センターで使うような弁当箱、お味噌汁はお椀を使用!エコに気を使っていることに感銘を受けました。 ハワイでお弁当箱とお椀でいただいたのはこれが初めて、ご飯は少し硬めでしたが綺麗にいただきました。②スタッフの方がMyカメラで写真を撮ってくれ、その日の晩にブログにアップしてくれ、余韻を楽しむことが出来るのと、無料で写真をダウンロードできました。(もっと家族で写真を撮ってもらえばよかったと少し後悔・・・)
当日は高層に雲がかかり、雲海に沈む綺麗な夕日とはいきませんでしたが、雲海の向こうにマウナロア、ハレアカラを望め、凛としたスバルの雄姿、刻々と変わる空と雲の色、一瞬輝きを放つ夕日に感動しました。 また土星を初め満点の星を楽しむことが出来ました。
ツアー自体はデラックスではないけど質素・誠実、まさにネイチャースクールの名に相応しいものでした。 今回同行頂いた今野さん、ステファンさんありがとうございました。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. When you go up Mauna Kea on the Big Island and watch the sunset, you'll want to return to the Big Island again soon.

Although I have no English skills at all, I participated in the "English Guide." At first, I was anxious, but even if I didn't understand much of the announcements on the bus, I could somehow keep track of the time!
I was happy to have a light snack and warm drinks at the summit. There were a few clouds, but I was able to see the sunrise, and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the golf course (the guava juice was too diluted with ice!). There were three options to choose from for breakfast.
I made a confirmation call after my flight was delayed, which was past 19:30. The paper said it was okay until 23:00, but when I called, I was told it ended at 19:00! I was a bit flustered, but on the day of the event, I was able to participate without any problems.
I was more bothered by the cold on the bus ride there than at the summit!

I was looking for a stargazing tour on Maui Island during our cruise, as it was my mother's long-time wish. Later, I realized that our guide, Mr. Yamapi, was featured in the "Rurubu" travel guide! The pick-up service to Kahului Harbor was very helpful.
We met up with six other guests at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Everyone was very friendly and considerate, making it a truly enjoyable tour. The entire journey was by car, taking us to the summit at 3,055 meters, which was very convenient. Although the base was covered in clouds, we were assured that there was no need to worry since we would be above them.
At one point, when we were driving through an area with eucalyptus trees, the guide let in some fresh air, and I was enchanted by the natural aroma experience. During the sunset at the crater, our guide, who has summited 2,700 times, timed it perfectly for us to see the sun setting! I think it took less than a minute for the sun to disappear.
Along the way, I experienced moments of a soundless world, feeling sounds in my inner ear. It was a luxurious moment that you can't experience in daily life. When we reached the summit at 3,055 meters, I thought I might feel the altitude more, but since we had gotten out of the car several times at 1,000 and 2,000 meters, I was completely fine.
For stargazing, there were a few clouds obstructing the view, but our guide searched for spots where the clouds had cleared. Since we had plenty of time for observation, by the end, we could see about 70-80% of the stars. Mr. Yamapi was very knowledgeable about the stars and provided two types of telescopes, which made my mother very satisfied as well!
We all sat on the provided chairs with warm tea and were able to observe the starry sky in 360 degrees. I am truly grateful for such a luxurious experience. And Mr. Yamapi's stories were fantastic! He mentioned that he wants to guide 3,055 times, so I hope to repeat this experience before then!
母のかねてからの願いもあり、クルーズ中に停泊したマウイ島で星空観測ができるツアーを探していました。
後で気づいたのですが、ガイドの山Pさんはるるぶに掲載されていました!
カフルイ港まで送迎があり助かりました。
クリスピー・クリーム・ドーナツで他のお客さん6人と合流しました。皆さん、とても気さくで気遣いがある方々ばかりで大変楽しいツアーとなりました。
全行程車移動で3055mの頂上まで連れて行ってくれるため、とても楽チンでした。
麓は雲がかかっていたのですが、雲より上を行くため心配ないとのことでした。
途中、ユーカリが生えているところで車内に外気を入れてくださった時は、天然のアロマ体験だぁ~と香りに酔いました。
火口でのサンセットでは、さすが2700回登頂されてらっしゃるガイドさんだけあり、太陽が沈む姿を絶妙なタイミングで見ることができました!沈むまで1分かからなかったと思います。
途中、何度か音のない世界、内耳で感じる音を体験をしました。日常では出来ない贅沢な瞬間です。
3055m山頂に着いた時に、もう少し酸素を薄く感じるかと思いましたが、1000m台、2000m台、と何度か降車したためか、全く大丈夫でした。
星空観測にあたり少し雲が邪魔していたため、雲がはけている場所を探してくださり、
観測時間がたっぷり用意されていたため、最後は7~8割まで見えるようになりました。
ガイドの山Pさんは、とても星に詳しく、望遠鏡も2種用意してくださり、一緒に参加した母も大満足で良かったです!
皆で温かいお茶とともに、用意されたイスに座り、360度満天の星空を観測でき、本当に贅沢な時間を過ごさせて頂き感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
そして、山Pさんのお話も最高でした!
3055mにちなみ3055回はガイドしたいとおっしゃっていたので、それまでにまたリピートできたらと思います!

During the drive to the summit of Mauna Kea, I initially thought, "Wow, this guy, Ha-san, is talking so fast and is really loud!" (What a difference from my first impression.) However, once I understood his passionate desire to share the wonders with everyone, I felt his professional spirit.
That night, the participants were great and we had a fantastic time, much more enjoyable than last year's sunrise observation tour. I absolutely recommend this tour guided by Ha-san, regardless of age.
Also, thank you, Ha-san, for taking so many photos of the participants with your personal camera worth 200,000 yen! You are amazing! The explanation of the starry sky was also moving! It was truly wonderful. Everyone should definitely participate.

Participated on October 2nd. A must-see for LOST fans. You can enjoy that bamboo grove. Walking through the bamboo thicket is interesting and addictive. The tour is all-inclusive. They provide all the necessary gear, water, and snacks. (The dried fruit and nuts are delicious. Eating them while exercising is super tasty because they're sweet and salty.) They even came to pick us up before the scheduled time. The guide was kind, cheerful, and explained everything well; he was very serious and the best. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the tropical rainforest. The view of the mountains from the Manoa residential area is also lovely. The difficulty level is adjusted to the participants' fitness, so I think there's no need to worry.
10月2日参加。LOSTファンは必見。あの竹林が堪能できます。竹やぶの中を歩いて行くのが面白くてヤミツキになりそう。ツアーは至れり尽くせり。必要な装備に水、おやつ等ばっちり。(このドライフルーツとナッツが美味しい。運動中に食べると甘くて塩からいので超〜〜美味しい。)迎えも時間前に来てくれました。ガイドは親切で陽気で説明も良く、大変真面目な方で最高でした。熱帯雨林の美しさに圧倒されました。マノアの住宅地から観る山並みも素敵です。難易度は参加者の体力に合わせてくれるので、心配無いと思います。

As a U.S. Navy Vet I was already beyond excited to go visit the iconic ship, but what was even cooler was being able to have access to so much of ship. However, the best part was being able to stand where the unconditional surrendering of the Japanese took place. Really neat! Only tip I can give is to take the early tours to have more time in each compartment, we took the 9am tour and our group was only 6 people (compared to the 15+ in the group after).

I will be forever grateful that a friend talked me out of renting a car and driving the Road to Hana. We are not spring chickens and weren't sure how we would like a helicopter trip to Hana with a road trip back to the cruise port in a 6-passenger luxury van. We knew we didn't want to do a 12-hour bus ride (cruise excursion) but we didn't want to miss Hana.
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT!
We thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter flight to Hana and were able to see from the air the majesty of the island which would not have been as apparent from the land. Then we had a delicious lunch on the beach (provided by our tour guide, Surfer Sue) and experienced in all it's surface beauty, the road to Hana. There is no way we could have enjoyed this nearly as much had we driven both directions and certainly not at all had I decided to drive it myself. Sue taught me more about Hawaiian native flora and fauna than I would have learned in weeks on my own.
Because we wanted to make so many photo stops on the way back to port, we returned later than expected. Sue was kind enough to call the folks at Blue Hawaii Helicopters and ask them to send some articles we had purchased that morning and left behind at the shop for convenience sake, to us at the cruise port. No worries!
We could not have enjoyed this excursion any better than we did! Above and beyond treatment at every turn. Highly recommend for all ages.

Since I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel, I had no travel time at all. I wasn't sure where the reception was and got a little lost, but I saw a line forming, so I joined it. While waiting, I was asked if I wanted to buy a lei and had the chance to take some photos.
After checking in, I went to the venue next to the beach and made my way to my seat with a drink in hand. The Mai Tai was really delicious. I ordered various drinks and enjoyed them. The staff guided us to our seats as we arrived. Once seated, I chatted with the people next to me and across from me while waiting for the show to start. I was a bit anxious since I don't speak much English, but everyone was kind and spoke to me.
The show was entirely in English, but it was enjoyable to watch, so I found it interesting. It was an impressive performance.
However... since it was outdoors, there was a downpour, and I received a raincoat from the staff to watch the show. The show proceeded as scheduled despite the rain. Even in the downpour, I laughed with those around me, saying, "Wow, the rain is intense!" This became a good memory.
The food was delicious, especially the meat, taro, and poke. I think it's better to take a lot at once so you can enjoy the show at a leisurely pace. There are many types of drinks, so I believe you'll find a favorite.
I think this Hawaiian show offers an experience of "Hawaii" that you can't find on Oahu.
I would love to participate again if I stay at the King Kamehameha Hotel.
キングカメハメハホテルに泊まって参加だったため、移動時間がまったくありません。
受付の場所がわからず、少し迷ってしまいましたが行列ができていたので並びました。並んでいる間はレイを購入するか聞かれたり、写真をとったりしながら並びます。
受付後、ビーチ横にある会場に行き、ドリンクを片手に席まで行きます。マイタイがとってもおいしかったです。いろいろなドリンクを注文してたくさん飲みました。席は来た人から係の人が案内してくれます。席に着くと隣の人や向かいに座っている外国の方と話しながらショーを始まるのを待ちます。英語があまり話せないので不安でしたが、皆さん優しく話してくれました。
ショーはすべて英語ですが、見て楽しめるので面白かったです。
迫力のあるショーです。
しかし。。。
野外の為、スコールになってしまい、係の人にカッパをもらってショーを見ました。
ショーは雨天決行の為、普通にショーは進みます。
スコールでも周りの人と「雨すごいね」と笑いながら見ました。
これも良い思い出です。
食事もおいしく、お肉、タロイモ、ポケがとてもおいしかったです。
一回でたくさん取ったほうがゆっくりショーが見れますので良いと思います。
飲み物もたくさん種類がありますので好みのお酒が見つかると思います。
オワフ島では味わえない『ハワイ』が体験できるハワイアンショーだと思います。
またキングカメハメハホテルに泊まったら参加したいです。
Dear Sakamai,
Thank you very much for attending the Luau show. I imagine it must have been quite challenging in the rain, but in Hawaii, we consider it a blessing. It means "the rain washes away the town, the people, and the hearts, making everything clean." We proceeded with the show with smiles, and it warms my heart to hear that you have good memories of it.
The show at the King Kamehameha Hotel received high praise, and it is a place we hold very dear in our long-standing relationship. We hope you will visit us again. It would be wonderful for us if you could enjoy plenty of food and drinks!
With Aloha.
サカマイ様
この度はルアウショーにお越し頂き誠にありがとうございました。
雨の中、とても大変だったのでは。。。と思いますが、ハワイでは祝福の雨。
「町も人も心もきれいに洗い流してくれる・・・」という意味がございます。そのまま笑顔でショーを進行させていただきましたが、
良い思い出とおっしゃってくださり、心がほっとする想いです。
キングカメハメハホテルでのショーは高い評価を頂き、私たちも長いお付き合いの中とても大切にしている場所です。
是非またお越し下さい。食事も、お飲物も、たくさんお召し上がりいただけると私たちも最高です!
Alohaを込めて。

It was truly a wonderful and moving tour!! With Takae's energetic, bright, and pleasant guidance, and the heartfelt hospitality from Yamapee, it was a unique experience that you can't find anywhere else. They skillfully selected the best locations and timings based on the weather conditions, providing comfortable seating with blankets, and not only explanations of the sunset and starry sky but also touching words that resonate deeply... And the emotional moments brought tears to my eyes☆ It was a cleansing experience that made me feel truly connected to nature! I definitely want to go again. It would be a shame not to join this tour when you visit Maui!! Thank you so much♪
本当に素晴らしい感動のツアーでした!!
TAKAEさんの元気で明るくて気持ちのいいアテンドに、Yamapeeさんのおもてなしの心いっぱいの他では味わえない素敵な体験・・・。気象状況に応じて臨機応変にベストな場所やタイミングをセレクトしてくださり、そこで、ゆーったりと過ごせるイスにブランケット、そして、夕陽や星空の解説だけでなく、心に染み入る言葉の数々。。。そして感動の涙があふれる演出☆自然に生かされているという実感をし、心洗われる体験です!また絶対に行きたいと思います。マウイにいったら、こちらのツアーに参加しないほどもったいないことはないです!! ありがとうございましたー♪
Thank you for participating in the tour. The Haleakalā tour has various aspects, but our company offers a very relaxed and easy-going experience (laughs). We want everyone who comes from the city to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of Maui and the wonderful starry sky. We would be most delighted to have you come again, so we look forward to our next reunion.
こちらこそツァーに参加して頂き感謝です。色々ありますハレアカラツァーですが、我が社はとってものんびり緩~いツァーなので(笑)都会からいらっしゃった
皆様にはマウイののんびり感と素晴らしい星空を味わって頂きたいと思っています。また来ていただくのが一番嬉しいので、是非次の再会を楽しみにしております。

The dinner was amazing, the filet was cooked perfectly and the crab legs kept on coming. We got a complimentary mai tai that was actually a very good drink (not that pre-mixed yucky stuff) and also ordered the $40 bottle of champagne. When dinner was finished, they put on a Polynesian show within the cabin that was loads of fun. Unfortunately the sunset was blocked by cloud cover but the show made up for it. The waitress was fantastic and the room supervisor was very attentive. Would definitely do this again! An additional note: they took the usual souvenir photo and charged $27 which we thought was way over the top...but it was framed beautifully (book-bound style) and ended up being the best photo of our entire honeymoon!! Worth every penny!

This was our first luau experience and it was fantastic. Transportation was included, the bus was on time and comfortable. When we arrived, they took a photo that had a beautiful back drop (amazing scenery with the mountain and the ocean), photo was $10 and quite decent quality. There were fun pre-show activities and drinks available. The buffet was good, we paid for the middle of the road package which was worth it. The emcee was funny and personable and the show was very entertaining, the woman sitting next to us said that they had been to several luaus and this was by far the best fire show they'd seen. We were called onto stage because it was our honeymoon and they gave me a nice flower bouquet. Overall it was really a great experience! The whole staff worked hard to make the night a good one. Worth every penny!

First of all, the guide was wonderful. Matsuchan, our guide, was truly entertaining, and while traveling, I was able to absorb knowledge through his explanations mixed with humor, which made me very satisfied.
Additionally, he skillfully took photos with our own cameras as we requested, but for those stunning starry sky shots that we couldn't capture due to the limitations of our cameras, there is a service where Matsuchan's company takes photos from start to finish with their camera. This means we could enjoy the tour without worrying about not being able to take good pictures with our own cameras. Also, the fact that we can download the professionally taken photos for free from their website is something that sets them apart from other companies. My husband and I are already excited to use these photos for our New Year's cards this year. I believe newlywed couples who take this tour will definitely get plenty of professional-quality photos that will become lifelong memories! Lastly, Matsuchan, it was really fun. Thank you very much. We will definitely come again.
まず、ガイドさんが素晴らしかったです。
ガイドの松ちゃんは本当に面白く、移動中の観光の説明も、お笑いを聞きながら知識を増やしていけるような感じで聞けて、本当に大満足でした。
また、写真も、自分たちのカメラで注文通りに上手に撮ってくれるのですが、どうしても自分たちのカメラの性能の関係で撮れない満点の星空写真も、松ちゃんの会社のカメラで最初から最後まで写真を取ってくれるサービスがあるので、自分たちのカメラでうまく取れない写真があっても心配することなくツアーを満喫できます。そして、そのガイドさんのプロ並みの腕前で撮影された写真も無料でHPからダウンロードできるっていうところが他社との比較で優れているところなのかなと思います。私たち夫婦は今年の年賀状に使おうと今からウキウキしています。新婚さんカップルもこのツアーを使えば一生の思い出になるプロ並みの腕前の写真を沢山GETできること間違いなしだと思います!最後にまっちゃん、本当に楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。また、行かせていただきます。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
All of our guides take professional-quality photos with their own cameras. We are very pleased that it became a wonderful memory for you.
We sincerely look forward to your next participation in our tour.

After spending the first couple of days in Hawaii walking everywhere, it was nice to sit and relax in the tour van and watch the island slide by out the windows. The hike through Wiamea Valley to the falls was beautiful, although I wish more plants and flowers had been in bloom. Lunch was awesome. This tour is alright, but we could easily have seen everything on our own with a car rental.
You can do anything on your own if that's what you want to do. But then you would have had to drive for 8 hours (paying close attention to the worst traffic in the nation), instead of enjoying the views and just relax. You would have had to rent a car for the whole day, you would have had to pay your own entry fees to the visited locations, you would have had to pay for your own lunch at Fumis and stand in line for it yourself instead of being served, you would have had to buy a guide book and study it to know where to go, you would have had to have someone read out aloud all the interesting facts about our islands natural history, just like our trained guide did for you for 8 hrs. We agree with you that the tour is beautiful and awesome. Plus, we fully delivered what we promised and if you add up all these extra expenses and inconvenience you would have had to encounter had you chosen to drive yourself, you would have lost money and comfort instead of gaining. Aloha!

Thank you very much for participating in our tour the other day.
The sunrise and sunset from Mauna Kea show various expressions, and it feels wonderful no matter how many times you climb it.
I understand you may have been concerned about your health since it is higher than Japan's Mount Fuji, but we are very pleased to receive your kind words.
Please do join us for another tour in the future.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to it.
Thank you.

マウナケアからの朝陽、夕陽は色々な表情を見せてくれて何度登っても素晴らしく思えます。
日本の富士山よりも高い山ですので、体調も心配されたことと思いますが、お褒めのお言葉を頂けて大変嬉しく思っております。
是非、また違うツアーにもご参加下さいませ。
スタッフ一同、心よりお待ちしております。
