Hana by Air & Land - Helicopter Flight & Semi-Private Sightseeing Tour Combo

A must do on a trip to Maui

Reviewed by: MJ Wolf

I went on the afternoon excursion. Haleakalā was not visible because of clouds that had come in, but the pilot had said there was good visibility that morning. Instead we spent more time getting wonderful close ups of magnificent waterfalls. The helicopter was beautiful and only 4 weeks old. Blue Hawaiian staff were great. The second half of the trip was the luxury van along the road to Hana, this van had only 6 passengers which made for a nice intimate trip. Our driver Kelly, was fantastic, knowing the road very well, as he has been driving it on excursions for over 20 years. We stopped places most do not get to see. I highly recommend this trip and it was one of the highlights on this trip.

☆Hokulea☆ ☆Hokulea☆

Reviewed by: 杏仁豆腐&ほうれん草の白和え

I participated in the tour on September 24 (Tuesday). It was a "Happy Vacation!" with just the two of us girls. The stargazing was amazing! The Milky Way, which I saw for the first time, was truly beautiful, and just looking at it made me feel so happy!! After moving to Oahu, I still can't forget Haleakalā. The stargazing in Maui is indeed wonderful!

I really resonated with what Mr. Yamape said: "Since our customers have come all the way here, I want to do everything I can for them." I believe that having a sincere attitude towards customers is truly important in any job.

With the countless sparkling stars we saw in Maui in our hearts, I hope to spend each day feeling happy. Thank you so much!! I will definitely go back to Maui to see the stargazing again☆

We love Hokulea!!

9/24(火)のツアーに参加しました。Happy Vacation!ということで、女子2人での参加です。
天プラ、最高でした!初めて見た天の川が本当にとてもキレイで、見ているだけで幸せな気持ちになれました!!オアフ島に移動してからも、ハレアカラが忘れられません。やはりマウイ島の天プラは素晴らしいですね!
山ピーさんのおっしゃっていた、「お客様がせっかくここまで来てくれたのだから、できる限りのことはしたいと思っている」という言葉と姿勢にとても共感しました。どんな仕事でも、お客様に対して、真摯に接する姿勢は本当に大切だと思っています。
私たちも、マウイ島で見た、無数のきらめく星たちを心に、毎日を幸せな気持ちで過ごしたいなぁと思います。
本当にありがとうございました!!また絶対、マウイ島の天プラ観に行きます☆
We love Hokulea!!

I am also impressed by the hospitality in various places when I return to Japan. Even though it's difficult to achieve perfection despite doing our best, I am happy if our customers are pleased and feel the emotion. I look forward to our next reunion!

自分も日本に帰国すると色々な所でのホスピタリテイーに感心させられます。
ベストを尽くしても完璧はなかなか難しいですけど、お客様に喜んで頂き感動が伝われば嬉しいです。

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

Unbelievable Experience

Reviewed by: Kyle

What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.

Reviewed by: やっち

We used this service for our honeymoon. I was actually looking for a sunrise at Haleakalā online, but unfortunately, all the dates were fully booked, so I had to change to a sunset. Among various options, this was the only one available, and I was glad to secure a reservation, eagerly looking forward to the day. The guide was fantastic, and I was overwhelmed by the number of stars I had never seen before. I saw the Milky Way, Orihime and Hikoboshi, and a shooting star for the first time in my life. I had never been interested in stars before, but it was truly moving. My husband and I were really satisfied with the sunset! Thank you very much!

新婚旅行で利用させてもらいました。本当はハレアカラのサンライズを見たいとネットで探していました。しかしサンライズは時期的にどの日程もいっぱいで予約がとれず、仕方なくサンセットに変更して探していました。色々探した中で唯一空きがあり、予約がとれて良かったと思い、当日を楽しみに待っていました。ガイドの方もすごく良かったし、今まで見たことのない星の数に圧倒されました。天の川とか織姫彦星、人生で初めて見た流れ星、今まで星なんて全く興味なかったんですが、感動しました。主人とサンセットで良かったね!ってすごく満足しました!
ありがとうございました!

I'm so glad to have become a page in the fun memories of your honeymoon. Since we have the Haleakalā stargazing license, we were able to use large telescopes and even see the rings of Saturn. Next time, I'll introduce you to some more unique stars!

It was wonderful! 素晴らしかった!

Reviewed by: いるか

The guide was very kind. It was really cold, and this tour company provides warm clothing for both the upper and lower body, so I think we were able to observe much warmer than those who participated in other tours (only the upper body). However, my toes were quite cold, so I think having thick socks would be good. On the day I participated, the sunset was wonderfully beautiful, but the moon was too bright, and I couldn't see the stars well. That was disappointing, so I give it a ☆-1. Other than that, I was very satisfied!!

ガイドの方はとても親切でした。
本当に寒くて、こちらのツアー会社は防寒着を上下貸してくれるので他社のツアーに参加されていた方々よりは(上着のみ)遥かに温かく観測できたと思います。
ただ、足先もかなり冷えてるので厚手の靴下があるといいと思います。
参加した日は、夕焼けは素晴らしく美しかったけど月が明る過ぎて星はよく見えませんでした。それが残念だったので☆-1で。あとは大満足!!

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
Mauna Kea can get quite cold even in summer, so it's best to take proper precautions against the cold. If you have the opportunity to visit the Big Island again, please come during the new moon. You will be able to enjoy a sky full of stars.

Thank you very much.

My first time on the Big Island of Hawaii, and I participated alone. At first, I was anxious about being alone, but as I ran through the vast Big Island, surrounded by lava on both sides, all my worries disappeared. To acclimatize to the altitude, I took breaks about three times along the way. I encountered wild goats, donkeys, and turkeys. The lunch at the Onizuka Visitor Center, which included miso soup with green onions, was delicious. Here, I put on warm clothing and aimed for an even higher point. I took breaks a couple of times during this part, so I was fine regarding altitude sickness, which I had worried about. At the summit, a magnificent sunset awaited me above the sea of clouds. Perhaps because I was so captivated by the view, I didn't feel the cold. After that, we enjoyed stargazing. I could see the Milky Way, artificial satellites, the red crater of Halemaʻumaʻu, and the lights of Hilo. The photo taken with the Milky Way and the starry sky is a treasure for life. The guide also explained a lot about the charms of the Big Island, the stars, and constellations. The other participants in the tour were friendly, and I was able to have various conversations, making for a fun time. I was completely enchanted by the allure of the Big Island. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

初めてのハワイ島、一人での参加でした。
一人参加なので、最初は不安でしたが、右も左も溶岩だらけの、広いハワイ島を走っていると、そんな不安も一気に吹き飛びました。
高度に慣らすため、途中で3回程休憩しました。
野生のヤギ、ロバ、七面鳥に会えました。
オニヅカビジターセンターでのお弁当に、ネギのお味噌汁、おいしかったです。
ここで防寒着を着て、更に上を目指します。この途中でも2回程休憩を取ったので、心配していた高山病は大丈夫でした。
山頂では雲海を下に、素晴らしいサンセットが待っていました。その光景に夢中になっていたからか、寒さは感じませんでした。
その後は星空鑑賞。天の川に人工衛星、ハレマウマウの赤い火口、ヒロの街明かりまで見えました。
天の川と満天の星空と一緒に撮っていただいた写真は、一生の宝物です。
ガイドさんもハワイ島や星の魅力、星座をたくさん説明してくれました。
ご一緒したツアーの方も気さくな方で、色々お話ができて、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ハワイ島の魅力に、一気に取り憑かれました。

Reviewed by: Motoyoshi Koide

This time, I went to Hawaii for the first time. When you think of Hawaii, you think of Oahu, but my goal was to see the starry sky, so I stayed on the Big Island for five days. I planned my trip over two months in advance, choosing a new moon day, and signed up for the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour <Reflecting Telescope> by Masashi Nature School."

To prevent participants from getting altitude sickness, we took several breaks while driving up Mauna Kea and enjoyed a lunch box made by an American, complete with miso soup, at the Onizuka Center.

Once we exceeded 3000 meters, we were warned that sleeping was prohibited, and off we went to the summit!

At the summit, we were lent warm clothing, resulting in a strange orange army look. It seems that other tours also offer warm clothing rentals, but this tour is the only one that provides both top and bottom! Fortunately, the day I participated wasn't extremely cold, so I found the temperature quite comfortable, but my wife, who is sensitive to the cold, was fully equipped with Heattech, patches, and disposable hand warmers in front and back. Warm clothing is essential in extreme cold.

At the summit, we watched the sunset above the clouds, and it was incredibly beautiful and moving! However, at over 4000 meters, the air is thin, and I felt dizzy; just moving a little made me out of breath! After that, we did stargazing! The moment we got out of the car, I was amazed by the starry sky. I'm so glad I participated on a new moon!

The constellation lecture by guides Mr. Yamamoto and Mr. Matsuzaki, along with their explanations using a powerful laser pointer, was very interesting, and I was thrilled to take commemorative photos with the constellations in the background!

Additionally, they carefully taught us how to photograph constellations with a DSLR camera, including shutter speed and aperture, allowing us to take many memorable photos of the constellations. Thank you! (A tripod is essential for constellation photography!)

Moreover, those photos can be downloaded from the Nature School's blog, making for great keepsakes.

I would like to recommend this tour to acquaintances who are going to the Big Island.

今回、初めてハワイに行きました。ハワイと言えばオアフ島ですが私の目的は満天の星空を見てみたいでしたのでハワイ島のみ5日間滞在しました。2ヶ月以上前から新月の日を選び旅行計画を立てオプショナルツアーを「マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー<反射望遠鏡> by マサシネイチャースクール 」に申し込みました。

参加者が高山病にならないように車でマウナケアに登る途中数度休憩をしてオニズカセンターでアメリカ人の作ったお弁当・みそ汁付をいただきました。

3000mを超したら居眠り禁止ですと注意事項を受けいざ山頂へ!

山頂で防寒着か貸し出して頂き変なオレンジ軍団の出来上がりでした。このツアー以外も防寒具の貸し出しがあるみたいですが、上下を貸し出して頂けるのはこのツアーだけみたい!
偶然参加した日は極寒ではなかったので私はちょうど快適な気温でしたが、寒さに弱い妻は、ヒートテック・パッチ・前後に使い捨てカイロで完全防備でした。
極寒の時は防寒具上下必需品ですね。

山頂でサンセットを雲上から見て、とても綺麗で感動的!
でも、やはり4000m越では空気が薄く頭がクラクラして少し動くだけでゼイゼイしますよ!
その後、天体観測!車降りた瞬間満天の星ビックリしました。新月に参加して良かったな~!
ガイドの山本さんと松崎さんの星座講座、強力レーザーポインターでの星座の説明はとても面白く同時に星座をバックに記念写真まで撮っていただき感激!

合わせて、一眼レフカメラの星座の撮影の仕方およびシャッタースピードや絞りまで丁寧に教えて頂き記念になる星座の写真を何枚も撮影することができました。ありがとうございます。(星座撮影には、三脚は必需品ですよ!)

また、その写真は、ネイチャースクールのブログ内よりダウンロードでき記念写真を何枚のダウンロードでき記念になりますよ。

知り合いがハワイ島に行く時には、このツアーを薦めたいと思います。

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

I had read other reviews of this tour that mentioned not having enough time for everything, so when we booked the tour, I mentioned that seeing the Missouri was our top priority. Sure enough, when we arrived at the memorial, our guide (Steve) handed us tickets to the Missouri with the right guidance so we could see it first, and still have time for the Arizona. Steve was great, gave the whole group detailed coaching and an insider's perspective, and kept us all on track. Terrific use of a day of our vacation!

On our honeymoon, 新婚旅行で

Reviewed by: ハネムーン まり

At the end of December last year, we visited Maui and Oahu for our honeymoon. I wanted to see the sunset, so I requested to join the Haleakalā tour in Maui. When I called the hotel, they informed me that the weather was going to be tough... But both my husband and I wanted to go regardless of whether we could see anything! That was our answer. When I conveyed this, they replied, "Of course."

On the day of the tour, they picked us up, took us to the post office, and brought us to a yogurt ice cream shop. Since it was just the two of us, we had great conversations, and there were plenty of bathroom breaks. Despite being told that the chances of seeing the sunset were slim, we were able to see it! At the summit, we took wonderful photos, and on the way back, we were treated to warm tea, a bento box, and they provided chairs, blankets, and jackets for us. When I looked up, the starry sky was breathtaking, and I couldn't help but shed a few tears.

My husband, who is shy, also seemed to have a great time talking. Even though it was a tour, it felt very personal, as if we were being taken around by someone close to us. We are expecting a child in November this year, so we would like to join again as a family of three. Please take care of yourselves until then and continue the tours. Thank you very much!

昨年の12月末にマウイ島とオアフ島を新婚旅行で訪れました☆
サンセットが見たくて、私のリクエストでマウイ島のハレアカラツアーに参加しました。ホテルから電話すると、お天気が厳しいとのお答えが…
でも、私も主人も来たからには見えなくても行きたい!それが答えでした。その旨を伝えると、もちろんとのお返事が。
当日、お迎えに来ていただき、郵便局へ行ったり、ヨーグルトアイスのお店へ連れていっていただいたり、私達2人の貸しきりだったので、お話もとっても弾み、途中のトイレ休憩もたくさんあり、ほぼ望みは薄いといわれてたサンセットも見ることが出来、山頂では素敵な写真も撮って頂き、帰る途中では温かいお茶に幕の内弁当に、椅子にブランケットにジャケットを用意していただき、見上げれば満点の星空☆勝手に涙が出てきました。

人見知りの主人もお話出来たこととてもいい思い出だったみたいです。
ツアーなのにツアー感を感じず、とっても身近な方に連れていって頂いてる感じでした。
今年の11月に子供が生まれるので、今度は3人で参加したいと思います。
その時まで体に気をつけてツアー続けて下さいね。

Reviewed by: peacetime

It's been four years since my last trip to Hawaii, and this was my first time on the Big Island! I only knew about "Kilauea," so I spent months reading guidebooks and websites to plan my trip. My style is to create the best original plan and explore efficiently and freely by rental car. However, I was worried about the unpaved roads to "Mauna Kea," so I looked for a tour.

I found the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour <Reflecting Telescope> by Masashi Nature School." I was attracted by the very reasonable pricing, the Japanese-speaking tour, and the high ratings in reviews.

Our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was kind and fun. He had a wealth of knowledge, and I found the stories about constellations, which I usually don't pay much attention to, very interesting. The interactions with my junior, Mr. Konno, were also entertaining. It's no surprise that there were several repeat customers.

The "Japanese bento made by Americans" we had at the Onizuka Center (as mentioned by Yamamoto) was also very delicious! I was happy that the "miso soup" made by other tour participants was homemade instead of instant.

The big jump over a 4,000-meter mountain felt like I accomplished something truly amazing, and it became a memorable experience.

Speaking of memories, I have a special one! The day before, I went to Kilauea by rental car and enjoyed the night view of the crater from the Jaggar Museum overlook. While I was there, an unfamiliar foreigner approached me and handed me an iPhone. They were confused about what to do with a found iPhone that was made in Japan. When I called the top contact, it turned out to be "Masashi Nature School Office"! Huh? I've heard that name before…!!! It's the tour I was scheduled to join the next day! What a coincidence! The following day, I was able to return it safely in exchange for a lovely souvenir.

Next time, I want to go with my family. Thank you again!

 4年ぶりのハワイ。初めてのハワイ島! 「キラウエア」くらいしか知らなかったので、何か月も前から、ガイドブックとWebサイトを熟読?してプランを練りました。オリジナルのベストプランを作り、レンタカーで効率よく&気ままに回るのが私流でした。でも、「マウナケア」は途中の道路が整備されていないことが心配だったので、ツアーを探しました。
 そして見つけたのが、「マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー<反射望遠鏡> by マサシネイチャースクール」です。とてもリーズナブルな料金設定と日本語ツアー、口コミ情報の評価の高さに惹かれました。
 ガイドの山本さんは、親切で楽しい方。いろいろな知識も豊富で、普段あまり関心の持てない星座のお話もとても興味深く聞くことができました。 後輩の紺野さんとのやり取りも面白かったです。リピーターも何組かいらっしゃったのもうなずけます。
 オニヅカセンターでいただいた「アメリカ人が作ったジャパニーズ弁当」(山本:話)もとてもおいしかった! ほかのツアーの方たちがインスタントで作っている「お味噌汁」が手作りだったのも嬉しかったです。
 4000メートル級の山を飛び越える大ジャンプ!も、なんだか本当にすごいことをやってのけた感じがして、思い出になりました。
 思い出といえば、私には特別な思い出も! 前日、レンタカーでキラウエアに行き、ジャガー博物館展望台で火口の夜景を楽しんでいたところ…。見知らぬ外国人に声をかけられ、iphoneを渡されました。拾ったiphoneが日本製でどうしたらよいか、困っているとのこと。連絡先の一番上にかけてみると、そこは「マサシのネイチャースクール 事務所」! ん? 聞いたことがあるぞ…? !!!明日参加予定のツアーだ! なんという偶然! 翌日、素敵なお土産と引き換えに?無事お返しすることができました。
 今度は家族で行きたいと思っています。またよろしくお願いいたします。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
Isn't it amazing how coincidences happen? But in reality, it wasn't just a coincidence; it was something that was meant to be.
Receiving the call and joining our tour were all part of the plan.
And then, a few years later, you'll return to the Big Island, right?
That's another wonderful encounter added to your journey. Next time, please come to the Big Island with your family for a fantastic experience.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you from the bottom of our hearts.

弊社のツアーにご参加頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。
偶然ってすごいですよね。でも実は偶然ではなくてもう決まっていた事なんですよね。
電話を受け取る事も、弊社のツアーにご参加された事も。
そうしてまた何年かのちにハワイ島に戻ってきてくださるんですよね。
素敵な出会いがまた一つ増えるんですね。次回はご家族で素敵な体験をしにハワイ島にお越し下さいませ
スタッフ一同心よりお待ちもうしております。

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

Amazing!!! 最高!!!

Reviewed by: moep

The weather on the day of the tour was really nice, and the starry sky was perfectly visible! The explanations of the constellations were very easy to understand, and the guide was lively and fun. The silhouette photos of the sunset were also very beautiful. It was impressive to see the red glow of Kilauea Volcano during the stargazing, and being able to download the photos taken later was one of the reasons for my great satisfaction. Thank you very much!!

ツアーの日は天気がとてもよくて星空がばっちりみえました!星座の説明もとても分かりやすかったし、ガイドさんのノリがよくて楽しかったです。サンセットのシルエット写真もとてもすてきでした。星空観測の時にキラウエア火山の赤い光が見えたのも印象的でしたし、あとで撮っていただいた写真をダウンロードできるのも大満足の理由の1つです。ありがとうございました!!

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: OhMyHiroshi

This was an amazing sunset dinner cruise for my girlfriend and I. We had attended this cruise as a birthday gift to her, and it felt like we were on a honeymoon. This cruise is meant for couples because it is amazingly breathtaking with the view of Diamond Head crater, the deep blue ocean, and the beautiful shores of Waikiki. Then to top it all off with a sunset upon our west coast beaches.

Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets

Circle Island Tour & PCC Luau & show

Reviewed by: TizLV

The circle island tour (1 star) was too much a rush, it is literally a drive half way around the island to get to PCC, only a couple stops that barely has time to get off the bus and take photos, and no where states that the famous Hanauma Bay is closed on Tuesday for cleanup.

The PCC operates like the cruise ship, put a lei on you just to have photographer take pictures to sell you later, and then take the lei back. The so called guides in the PCC are students where some of them are not well trained to handle the group; you can do everything by yourself using the schedule of programs.

The Luau was mediocre, no whole pig roasting, just a huge dinning hall with lots of people, eating the buffet, and some show on stage. Sorry, I live in Vegas, this cannot compare.

"HA: Breath of Life" Show definitely 5 star, very well done and great performers, if you are willing to pay high price for shows in Vegas, this one is on par.

ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる <午前/朝食付き/英語ガイド>

Dream come true! Haleakalā Sunrise!! 念願達成!ハレアカラサンライズ!!

Reviewed by: HAWII大好き

I saw three shooting stars. After that, the sky gradually brightened, and I was able to see the sunrise I had longed for. The summit is very cold, so it's better to prepare for the cold. (Even with a T-shirt, Heattech, fleece, scarf, and gloves, it was still quite chilly.) I actually wanted to go on a Japanese tour, but I couldn't book it for the desired date... However, I really wanted to see the sunrise. I was anxious about the English tour, but coffee and bread were provided on the bus, and I was able to achieve my goal of seeing the sunrise. There was no explanation about the stars, but if you're just looking to see the sunrise, I recommend it. After the sun rises, they take you to a scenic viewpoint. I was also satisfied with the breakfast after descending the mountain. The scenery was truly magnificent.

流れ星を3つも見ました。その後空がだんだんと明るくなっていき、念願のサンライズをばっちり見ることができました。山頂はとっても寒いので、防寒対策をした方がよいです。(Tシャツ・ヒートテック・フリース・マフラー・手袋ではまだまださむかったです。)本当は、日本語のツアーに行きたかったのですが、希望の日にちではとることができず・・・。でも、サンライズは見たくて・・・。英語ツアーで不安でしたが、バスの中でコーヒーやパンなども提供され、サンライズを見る目的は達成できました。星の説明などはありませんが、サンライズを見るだけで良ければ、おすすめです。陽が昇った後、絶景ポイントに連れて行ってくれます。山を下りてからの朝食も満足できました。とっても雄大な景色でした。

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

It was a breathtaking view that felt otherworldly. この世のものとは思えない絶景でした

Reviewed by: tetsu

I really wanted my whole family to participate, but due to the age restrictions for children, I went as a representative (laughs). The sunset and the gradient of the sky were amazing, resembling a scene from the moon. Additionally, the starry sky, where even satellites were clearly visible, was unique to Mauna Kea. The guide's talk was also brilliant. Personally, I was surprised that I could capture such a beautiful starry sky with my mirrorless camera. I even learned how to use the camera from the guide, and it was a very satisfying tour. I want to go again!

本当は家族全員で参加したかったのですが、子ども年齢制限もあり、私が代表して(笑)参加しました。
まるで月面のような光景に沈む夕日と空のグラデーションが素晴らしかった。また、人工衛星までくっきりと見える星空はマウナケアならではでした。ガイドのトークも冴えわたっていました。個人的には手持ちのミラーレス一眼であんなにきれいな星空を撮影できるなんてびっくりしました。ガイドさんにカメラの使い方まで教わり、大変満足のいくツアーでした。また行きたいです!
