I participated in this tour on December 29. When I arrived at the summit of Mauna Kea, I suddenly felt unwell due to mild altitude sickness, which worried me. However, I gradually acclimated, and by the time we were stargazing, I had recovered. The beauty of the night sky was so breathtaking that I completely forgot about feeling unwell. I love stargazing in Japan and have seen various sights, but nothing compares to this! The number of stars, the clarity of the air, and the lack of light pollution are incredible. I heard that even airplanes are restricted from flying in the area. The abundance of satellites and shooting stars was also moving; it was a unique experience like no other, perfect for stargazing enthusiasts! I would love to participate again in the summer to see the Milky Way.
12月29日に本ツアーに参加させていただきました。
マウナケア山頂に到着した時には軽い高原病で体調が急に悪くなり心配しましたが、徐々に慣れ星空観測時には体調も回復、あまりの星空の美しさに体調が悪かった事など忘れてしまうほどでした。日本でも星空が好きで色々と見てきましたが、日本とは、とても比較にならない!星の多さ、空気の透明感、光害の無さ、飛行機までも飛行制限されているそうで、人口衛生の多さと流れ星の多さに、また感動、ちょっと今までに無い体験ができました、星空好きにはたまりません!!またいければ夏に天の川目当てに参加したいです。

Since you can only access the summit of Mauna Kea through a tour, I participated in one, but we could only go partway due to icy road conditions and ended up just watching the starry sky before returning. It's really disappointing that we couldn't reach the summit, as you can drive partway there with a rental car.
マウナケア山頂はツアーでないといけないため、ツアーに参加しましたが、ちょうど路面凍結して途中までしか行けず、星空を見て帰ってきました。途中までならレンタカーでも行けるため、山頂に行けなかったのがすごく残念でした。

My husband and I took our 3 kids and we were quite impressed with how quickly we spotted the whales (we even saw dolphins!). It's safe and a great experience, I would definitely recommend it for families with young children.
Parking is convenient. Check in is across from boat. Prepare for standing and maybe even a little sea sick lol! Don't forget to bring your binoculars!

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best sunset. The bento and miso soup distributed at the Onizuka Center were truly delicious, just like the day itself.
The two guides were cheerful and very friendly. It was rare to see such a starry sky, and I learned a lot about constellations. The dreamy constellation guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and I discovered many new things. I still remember that I could see all of my favorite constellation, Orion.
It was quite cold, so I definitely think it's better to dress warmly.
お天気に恵まれ、最高のサンセットを見ることができました。鬼塚センターで配られたお弁当とお味噌汁は、日そのもので実においしかった。
2名のガイドさんが陽気な方たちで、とてもフレンドリー。あんな満天の星空はなかなかみられないとともに、大変星座に詳しくなりました。なんか夢のある星座ガイドは実に詳しいものであり、初めて知ることが多かったです。とにかく、私の好きなオリオン座のすべてが見えたのは今も覚えている。

Departure day on December 30, 2015, waiting for hotel pickup.
S-Fan appears.
Fluent in Japanese (the reason is a secret to avoid spoilers).
Thorough checks to confirm whether they are a celebrity.
The conversation in the car is solid.
Stopping at various places for commemorative photos.
At the summit of Mauna Kea.
Driving along the mountain road while taking measures against altitude sickness with water and chocolate.
It seems warmer than usual, but at 4,000 meters, it feels like a typical Japanese winter.
However, I’m well-prepared with five layers on top and four on the bottom.
A few foreigners are just in leggings, quite strong.
They gaze at the sunset without concern, but I still want to capture it in a photo.
I receive one-on-one instruction on how to take photos (grateful for the help).
Time flies by.
Before I know it, most participants other than Masashi's tour have descended.
The sun has completely set, and the sky is changing to deeper colors.
"I really want everyone to see this~~"
I'm so glad I got to see it.
Descending a bit from the summit for stargazing.
Quite a strong wind.
Setting up windbreaks with two cars.
Waiting for the sun to fully set with warm drinks and cookies.
With no moonlight, it seems to be in the same state as a new moon for a few hours (is that a possibility?).
Slowly, the sky fills with stars.
Seeing the speed of satellites is quite shocking.
Yo's stargazing school.
Sirius appears bluish-white, Aldebaran looks reddish, very clear.
I learn that my zodiac sign is Gemini and that my brother is immortal.
I discover that Orion is three times larger than I thought.
Due to the season, those constellations that aren't visible in the night sky receive unfortunate news, so checking in advance is wise.
Nine hours pass in the blink of an eye.
On the way back, I fall into a deep sleep.
I'm sure the conversation in the car on the way back was lively too, but that will be for another time.

Suddenly, it started to rain, and I think the temperature at the summit of Haleakalā was close to 0 degrees. I felt that Iao Valley was a place with some kind of power. The people of Maui referred to it as "blessing rain." It felt like my unnecessary energy was being washed away. The hotel pickup was around 6:30, but the actual departure from the meeting spot was around 8:30, so it seems like the hotel pickup could be a bit later.
急に雨が降り出し、ハレアカラの頂上は0度に近かったと思います。イアオ渓谷はなにかパワーのある場所のような気がしました。マウイの人からは「祝福の雨」と言われました。自分の不必要なエネルギーが流されたような気がします。朝のホテルピックアップは6:30くらいですが実際の集合スポットからの出発は8:30頃で、ホテルピックアップはもっと後でもいいような気がします。

In January, it was too cold for adults to swim in the ocean or pool, so I joined a hiking tour.
As we progressed, the guide explained about the plants and animals in the tropical rainforest, and we ended up seeing a waterfall. I had thought Hawaii was just about the beaches, but it was great to walk through such a tropical rainforest at a distance and difficulty level that even preschoolers could manage.
I highly recommend this tour for those who are tired of the beaches in Hawaii. It might be especially good for families with children, as it's also beneficial for their English education.

Our guide, Maki, was very kind and attentive. The roads in Hawaii are not very good, and combined with the uncomfortable bus ride, I experienced a bit of motion sickness. It would have been better if the bus windows were a little cleaner. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, there were many things to see and do, and we spent a very rich time there. It started to rain during our visit, but we were helped by receiving a free vinyl poncho. The behind-the-scenes tour included in the deluxe course is a must-see. The roast beef for dinner was delicious. It would have been even better if alcohol had been included.
ガイドのマキさん、とても親切で気の利く方でした。ハワイの道があまり良くないのと、バスの乗り心地が悪いのが相まって、少々車酔いしました。バスの窓がもう少し掃除して綺麗だと良かったです。ポリネシア文化センターでは見たりやったりが沢山で、かなり濃い時間を過ごしました。途中、雨が降ってきましたが、ビニールのポンチョを無料で頂けたので助かりました。デラックスコースに付いている、舞台裏の見学は必見です。夕食のローストビーフは美味でした。これでアルコールがOKならもっと良かったのですが。

The bento was not great, but the driver was kind and funny, which made it very enjoyable. I was glad that we could take photos at the photo spots. I considered renting a 4WD, and although the weather was very nice, the summit, which is higher than Mount Fuji, was very cold, and during the journey, I was battling sleepiness. If I had gone with a lighthearted attitude, it would have turned into quite a challenge.

I mentioned this before on the phone. This was fun, but was only able to do one activity. Unfortunately the ad misleads you into thinking you can do whatever activities, whenever. You are allowed to swim, snorkel, bike ride or hike in the morning. Then you can either surf(which you cant cause it will cost you more when you never did it, apparently you have to take a lesson before using their boards), kayak, or stand up paddleboard in the afternoon. It just was a disappointment to have an expectaion of what to get for my day, then not do it. In other words, two spereate locations for the morning and afternoon activities, so majority of your time is traveling. Which is fine, but also would of have a different opinion. Knowing what i know now, i probably would never choosen this activity.
I missed the bus to go to the afternoon location, needless to say i was given the wrong time by tourist, but honsestly by the time i got there, i was out of time. One thing that is odd is the memory game, being dropped off somwhere and being picked up elsewhere. However, the people that works at the snorkel rental place, especially that young kid, clueless to his surroundings. Knew who i was & i who else i was there with in regards of the other party on the tour bus & couldnt inform me of the other party making it back. So knowing the time i had to be picked up, this kid not being observant and missing the bus is all my fault, right? So thanks for that! I had to wait for the city bus to pick me up to find out where the tour bus was to get back on it.
All in all, i only did one activity and did a lot of sitting & waiting around. Snorkeling was fun, but was my excitement was short lived with the turmoil. I had fun snorkeling, and thats about it. Oh yeah, dont worry, ill take care of that bus fare!
We are sorry you got the pick up times mixed up and were forced to catch a city bus to catch up , therefore missing your second activity. Normally we have other drivers on the North Shore and could have expatiated things so sorry for that too.PLEASE GIVE US A FUTURE DATE TO COMP YOU THE TOUR SO WE CAN SHOW YOU WHAT ITS REALLY LIKE.
P.S; FOR SAFTEY REASONS SURFING IS THE ONLY ACTIVITY WHICH IF YOU HAVE NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WE REQUIRE YOU DO A LESSON. Those with some prior experience may surf with our basic package pricing.

Since I attend a riding club, I found the horseback riding a bit lacking in terms of riding experience. Instead of riding along the beach, we rode steadily along the coastline. I thought 40 minutes would be short, but it actually turned out to be nearly an hour of enjoyment. The scenery was lovely and very much like Hawaii, making it a great experience.
I also got to enjoy the garlic shrimp from Macky's, which is difficult to reach on your own, and I was able to try Matsumoto Shave Ice! Shopping at the cute shops in Haleiwa was also fun, so this tour was quite fulfilling.
Moreover, I got to see a sea turtle!!! And I must say, the guide was quite a character (laughs). At first, I was a bit confused, but he created a fun atmosphere and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii. The vibe in the car during the transfers was friendly and cheerful. Since the travel time was long, the atmosphere was important. Looking back, I feel lucky to have had him as our guide.
This is a highly recommended tour where you can enjoy about half of what Hawaii has to offer! Thank you!
乗馬クラブに通ってるので、乗馬という意味では物足りないです。浜辺ではなく、海岸沿いをひたすら常足での騎乗でした。40分は短いかなと思ってましたが、実際は1時間近かく楽しめました。景色がハワイらしく素敵なのでいい体験になります。
自力で行くことが難しいマッキーズのガーリックシュリンプもいただくことが出来ましたし、マツモトシェイブアイスもトライ出来ました!(^^)!ハレイワの可愛いショップでショッピングも楽しめるので、このツアーはかなり充実しています。
それにウミガメにも逢えました!!!
そして何といっても、ガイドさんがけっこう強烈な方で(笑)最初は???と思いましたが、楽しい雰囲気を作って下さるハワイを熟知した方で、移動中の車内は和気あいあいとしていてました。移動時間が長いので、空気感も大事ですね。終わってみればこの方でラッキーだったと思いました。

It's a mountain higher than Mount Fuji. You can get there by rental car, but the thought of not having an oxygen tank if you get altitude sickness is chilling. I don't think this would be allowed in Japan. If you're prepared to face the dangers, I won't stop you, but I absolutely recommend going on a tour for the sake of safety. They have extensive knowledge about cameras, so they can teach you how to take photos with the camera you bring. For those interested in constellations, the explanations are very easy to understand, and you'll create lifelong memories by seeing the natural planetarium. The local staff are friendly, humorous, and all around great people. The reason for the four stars is the poor exchange rate. It says $170, but the actual amount I paid in Japanese yen was 21,542 yen. This company has its own exchange rate, so please be careful when applying for the tour.

Dear Sumi-chan,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour and for sharing your experience.
I understand your concerns about driving during the mountain climbing, as well as the risk of altitude sickness. In winter, road conditions can be icy, so we hope you will consider using our services during that time. Our guides will assess the conditions of the day to ensure a safe experience.

Every time in Maui, I would usually just relax at the hotel besides playing golf, but this time I participated in a sightseeing tour for the first time. The weather was great, and I was able to see the best sunset and starry sky.
The winding road to the summit has no guardrails, so I really appreciated using the tour. I enjoyed the explanations at the summit and the observations through the telescope.
For dinner, I bought packaged sushi at the supermarket. For a couple in their 50s, this was also an extraordinary experience that we enjoyed.
This time, a young Japanese-American man was in charge. He seemed to have little experience, but his earnestness came through.
However, that beautiful starry sky was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience!? I wanted to quietly take my time to enjoy it. I found the explanations about the stars very interesting, but in the freezing cold, I was a bit taken aback by how he endlessly talked about his background and feelings towards his job. Also, it was not appropriate for him to speak ill of other companies while trying to convey the greatness of his own. It seems like youthful passion can sometimes miss the mark. He is someone I look forward to seeing grow in the future.
As you mentioned, I believe the company is sincere and solid. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate in another tour.

It was a very enjoyable time in a different space. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity. Perhaps because there were many Japanese participants, there were a lot of performances of songs aimed at Japanese people.
異空間でとても楽しい時間でした。また、機会があれば参加したいと思います。
日本人の参加が多いためか、日本人向けの曲の演奏が多かった。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise this time.
We are very pleased that you counted down with us.
We hope this year will be a good one for you.
All of our staff is looking forward to your next visit.

My family and I had an amazing day with Dawn as our guide on this excursion. She was knowledgable, friendly, smart, skilled, and funny! The excursion itself introduced us to the rain forest of Maui which was beautiful in its terrain and a bit challenging to navigate. Dawn gave us all the confidence we needed so we could rise to the challenges while being gracious to those who did not choose some aspects (cliff jumping) of the tour. Overall, it was a highlight of our entire Hawaiian trip. Dawn was fantastic. Lastly, the water shoes (available for a nominal charge) are a necessity.

This was my second time on the Mauna Kea Sunset & Stargazing Tour. Since it was my first time participating in winter, I had some concerns, but those worries quickly faded away. I had a wonderful experience once again, receiving passionate and detailed explanations from our guide, Yo, who became a guide because he was captivated by the breathtaking views from Mauna Kea. I was also very satisfied with the service of snap photos with the starry sky that I couldn't take with my own camera!
マウナケアのサンセット&星空ツアーは今回で2回目。冬の参加は初めてだったので、若干不安もありましたが、そんな不安もなんのその。
マウナケアからの絶景に魅せられてガイドになったという葉(よう)さんの熱くて詳しい説明を受けながら今回も素晴らしい体験をすることが出来ました。
自分のカメラでは撮れなかった星空とのスナップ写真などもサービスしていただいて大満足です!
Dear Pomuko,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. Mauna Kea is truly breathtaking no matter how many times you visit. Each time, you are captivated by a different view.
All of our guides have excellent photography skills. The service is also outstanding.
We hope you will visit Mauna Kea again next time. Our entire staff looks forward to welcoming you back.

This time, I participated with my parents and my husband, making a group of four. Even my parents, who usually complain a lot, were excited for their first countdown and had a great time.
We reserved a window seat with sparkling wine, and that was a great choice!
The food was also impressive, with a magnificent lobster and tender steak. I was very satisfied!
今回は両親と主人と4人での参加でした。文句の多い両親も、初めてのカウントダウンにテンション上がり、とても楽しんでくれました。
スパークリングを頼んでの、窓際席を予約しましたが、それが良かったです!
お料理も、立派なロブスターに柔らかいステーキ。大満足でした!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that your parents also enjoyed it. Please do come back with everyone again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

Historical storyteller was fabulous! Great sense of humor, and full of interesting information!
For the price, the food could have been better, and lower prices on drinks.

Very nice set up. We were late so they reset a table for us. Program was nice. Would have liked more interaction with audience participation. Food was plentiful and very good. Liquor could have been more upscale. Bartender and staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful setting.

Our Veltra tour was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. A luxury bus picked my husband and I up on time and drove us to the Arizona Memorial. The seats were quite comfortable and the bus also had a restroom. Unfortunately, I can't remember our tour guide's name but I can tell you that he was very respectable, helpful and informative. As we approached the Arizona Memorial we were given pertinent information as to when the bus would depart, tips for getting the most out of our visit, where we could find food and beverages, restrooms, etc. We found the USS Arizona Memorial visit to be a very moving experience. It was interesting to see how chatty people were as we entered the theatre to view a short video of live footage of the Pearl Harbor attack. Once the video started there was complete silence. It was a solemn experience for all and we continued on a shuttle boat to witness the sunken battleship still leaking oil to this day and the occasional air bubbles that surfaced. We would highly recommend it for all, young and old. On the down side, neither of us thought the city tour was very exciting.

Dear Mr. Umezawa,
This is Tomoe from Nature School. Thank you very much for participating in our tour. Mauna Kea is definitely a place you must visit, and it is recognized as one of the world's stunning views.
Many customers who visit Mauna Kea once tend to return. Every day offers a different breathtaking scenery. The starry sky is also overwhelming. We hope you will return to the Big Island next time to see the summer Milky Way and the Southern Cross.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your next visit.
