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

There are days when you can't see the stars. 星が見れない日もあります

Reviewed by: やすん

My partner and I love stargazing, and we had high hopes of seeing the stars at the world-renowned Mauna Kea! However, since November is the rainy season, we unfortunately encountered completely cloudy skies and were unable to see almost any stars. Since this was the main highlight of our trip to Hawaii, it turned into a disappointing experience afterward. The guide was very nice and seemed well-studied, which left a good impression. Given that we are dealing with nature, it's understandable, but since the participation fee is not cheap, those planning to join during the rainy season from November should be aware that there may be days when you can't see any stars at all.

夫婦で星空が好きで、世界的に名高いマウナケアで星空が見れる!と大きな期待をしていましたが、11月は雨季ということで運悪く完全に曇ってしまい、殆ど星を見ることができませんでした。今回のハワイ旅行のメインだっただけに、その後残念な旅となってしまいました。ガイドの方はとても良い方で、よく勉強されているように見受けられて好印象でした。自然が相手だけに仕方ありませんが、参加費も安くないので、11月からの雨季に参加される方は全く星が見えない日もあることは承知しておいた方がいいですよ。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
We truly cannot do anything about the weather. I feel powerless. I could sense from your message that it must have been a main event of your trip.
I am very sorry. It is tough for the guide as well. If you come to the Big Island again, I would love to guide you, so please choose a time around the new moon for your visit.

弊社のツアーにご参加いただきまして誠にありがとうございました。
天候は本当に何もできません。無力さを感じます。旅行のメインイベントであったろうことは文面より察することができました。
大変申し訳ございません。ガイドもつらいです。次回もしハワイ島にお越しいただけるのであれば、ぜひご案内させていただきますので、
その時は新月のときを選んでお越しくださいませ。

Maui Gold Pineapple Plantation Farm Tour & Tasting with FREE Pineapple Gift Box

Favorite tour on Maui

Reviewed by: Mauilover

I booked this tour upon recommendation from friends and family. I had moderate expectations as I am not a "walk through the farm" type of girl, but this was a favorite of my boyfriend and myself. First of, you are driven for the majority of the movement through the farm, so sandals were fine to walk in. Our tour guide Brett was very informative and explained everything about pineapple farming from planting to harvesting and distribution, and how to pick the perfect pineapple. We tasted pineapple at three separate stages and picked a pineapple straight from the stalk. You receive a free pineapple packed and ready for transport back to the states at the end of the tour and let me tell you these pineapples were HUGE. We saw the same two pack that we received for free at the airport for sale for $30. Brett also taught us how to use the pineapples we received to grow our own pineapples at home. Definitely a must go to tour if you are on Maui.

A literal canyon horseback riding plan. 言葉通りの渓谷乗馬プラン

Reviewed by: ハワイ2回目

Just thinking that my 82-year-old mother joined this optional tour simply because she loves horses still gives me butterflies. It was truly a canyon horseback riding plan, just as described. We skillfully navigated narrow paths that barely fit the width of the horses. It's an experience I still can't believe. I wonder how we managed to return safely after walking through such a canyon with a beginner like me. We lined up for a full hour, walking slowly, but there were slopes, narrow paths, and curves, and it seemed my mother was scared until the end. She was desperately talking to the horse to keep it moving. Although they never acted up, being natural creatures, they sometimes stopped to eat grass by the side or just halted, which left us unsure of what to do. However, the horses were truly smart and safely carried us on their backs for an hour. I don't think I'll ever have an experience like this again. I highly recommend it to young people.

馬が好きだと言うことだけで82歳の母をこのオプショナルツアーに参加させたと思うと今でもドキドキします。まさに言葉通りの渓谷乗馬プラン。馬の幅も無いような狭い道を上手進みます。今でも信じられない経験です。こんな初心者を乗せてあんな渓谷を歩いてよく無事に帰ってこれたなと思います。1時間たっぷり1列に並んで、ゆっくりゆっくり歩きますが、坂道があったり細い道があったり、カーブがあったり、最後まで母は怖かったみたいです。一生けん命馬に声をかけて乗せてもらっていました。暴れたりすることは決してないのですが、やはり自然の生き物なので、わきの草を食べたり、止まってしまったりするとどうしていいかわからなくなりました。でも本当にお利口な馬たちで、無事に1時間私たちを背中に乗せて歩いてくれました。こんな経験はもうできないと思います。若い人にお勧めです。

Tears of emotion at sunset. 夕日に感動の涙

Reviewed by: 笑顔でハッピー

It was great to have a relaxing morning since the activities were in the afternoon. The tour was excellent, with a knowledgeable guide and good service. The weather changed from rain the day before to clear skies, allowing us to enjoy the stunning sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea with plenty of time to spare, which was very satisfying. The stargazing after sunset was like a planetarium, with a sky full of stars. The warm beverage service was also a nice touch.

午後からのアクティビティなので、午前中ゆっくり出来て良かった。
ツアーはガイドさんの話や対応も良く天気も前日の雨から晴天になり、最高の夕日をマウナケア山頂でゆっくり時間もあり大満足でした。

I want to go horseback riding. 乗馬がしたくて

Reviewed by: 人との出会いが楽しかった!

I signed up because I wanted to go horseback riding. There are a total of 9 participants, including the two of us. Before heading to the North Shore, we passed by the high school that Obama attended, and along the way, we were able to hear some stories that are not often shared. Our guide, Nakama, was constantly talking and was very considerate, showing that he was well-informed about history and current events in Hawaii. The horseback riding itself felt like quite a challenging course, but since an 80-year-old grandmother was able to ride, I managed to get through it safely (although I almost fell off while waiting...). I was at the front, riding behind what seemed to be the owner, a funky grandmother who was probably over 70 with long braids. She explained everything in English, but I could only understand simple words, so it would have been very educational if I had been better at English. The content of this tour was more than sufficient. More than that, meeting wonderful people like Nakama became my most cherished memory. Thank you very much.

乗馬がしたくて申込しました。私達2人含め合計9名での参加です。まずはノースショアに向かう前にオバマさんの通った高校を通ったりしながら、道中はなかなか聞けないお話をうかがえました。担当のナカマさんはずーっとしゃべりっぱなしで大変気遣いもあり、歴史やハワイの旬な情報をぬかりなくチェックしているのがわかりました。肝心の乗馬はなかなかキツイコースに感じましたが、80歳のおばあさんも乗れていたので、なんとか無事にこなせました。(待機中落馬しかけましたが・・)私が先頭で、ロング三つ編みのファンキーな70は過ぎているだろう、おばあさんのオーナーらしき人のあとにくっつき乗馬していたのですが、英語でひとつひとつ説明をしてくれているのですが、わたしには簡単な単語しかわからず、英語ができれいれば大変勉強になったはずです。このツアーの中身は充分です。それよりも、ナカマさんのような素晴らしい人たちに出会えたことが一番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Maui Gold Pineapple Express Tour 10/21/14

Reviewed by: Ramona Marcelo

The Maui Gold Pineapple Express tour was amazing. My husband and I went there and had a great time. We enjoyed the tour very much, especially the part where we were brought to the processing plant. It was very fascinating to see the quality control, packing, and shipping from start to finish. We took a lot of pictures of the exciting tour of the pineapple fields too. It was eye-opening to see the process for how pineapples are grown, especially since my family is so used to picking them up from the supermarket. It was also different eating them fresh from the field--an experience I'd recommend to just about everyone. We really enjoyed being given pineapples to bring home to California as well, one of my favorite souvenirs from my trip. We ended up sharing it with the whole family and some friends, and it was definitely the juiciest and sweetest pineapple we've ever had.

Horseback riding is the best! 乗馬最高

Before heading to the North Shore, we stopped by places like the Dole Plantation, enjoyed garlic shrimp, and saw turtles. The final activity was horseback riding, which was packed with fun. The horseback riding along the beach was the highlight of this trip for me. It was such a relaxing experience, and I think even beginners can participate with confidence. I would love to join again when I come to Hawaii!

It has started to rain again. また雨になってしまいました。

Reviewed by: fukami

A few years ago, I participated in a tour with another company and it rained, so I joined this time for a revenge tour, but it rained again. I was added to the list for a free next time, and I thought the response was good compared to the previous tour with the other company. I planned to try again the next day, but I received a call just before noon that day saying there was about a 50% chance of rain, so I decided to save the revenge for my next trip. As a result, I was able to enjoy a nice dinner in Lahaina while watching a beautiful sunset. Thanks to the follow-up communication, I was able to spend a meaningful time. In the future, I think it would be good if you could inform us of the rain forecast based on the latest local weather when participating in the tour, so we can be mentally prepared. It seems that Maui's climate has also been unstable in recent years, so I plan to try again during the high probability of sunny weather from May to August.

数年前、他社のツアーに参加して雨だったのでリベンジでの参加でしたがまた雨になってしまいました。次回無料のリストにのせてもらい、前回の他社のツアーに比較して、良い対応と思いました。翌日にリベンジする予定でしたが、当日昼前に連絡があり、また雨の可能性が半分くらいあるということでしたので、リベンジは次回の旅行で期すこととしました。そのためその日はラハイナで夕食をとりながら綺麗な夕日を見ることができました。フォローの連絡のおかげで有意義な時間を過ごせました。今後はツアー参加時に、雨の見込みを直近の現地天気からお知らせいただければ心の準備ができ良いと思います。近年マウイの気候も安定していないようなので、次回は晴れの確率の高い5-8月にリベンジしようと思います。

Please feel free to visit Haleakalā again anytime. If the weather forecast indicates conditions that are definitely not suitable, we will cancel the tour. Since this is your valuable time, we will not force anyone to go if it's not possible.

Maui Gold Pineapple Plantation Farm Tour & Tasting with FREE Pineapple Gift Box

Pineapple heaven

Reviewed by: matt m

My wife and I were delighted to find out that there was indeed a pineapple plant with a tour on maui. We signed up and had no issues finding where we needed to go (a short drive from the airport pretty much). Our tour guide lined us out on a few items we needed to sign and we were off. We started off going right to the plant where we learned a ton of stuff about pineapples (did you know that the fruit is actually native to Brazil?). Really neat to see the whole process from picking to packing. They even give you two free packed pineapples ready to go through the airport! After the plant you go out to the fields to see the different stages of pineapple growth. You'll even get to sample some of the freshest possible pineapple you'll ever eat. Really awesome experience. Highly highly recommended.

Ride by the seaside during the typhoon. 台風の中の海辺ライド

Reviewed by: sunbrightoh

A few years ago, I experienced beach horseback riding and canyon horseback riding, and those enjoyable moments have stayed in my heart. I wanted to participate again to relive that excitement while I'm still energetic.

I was worried that the tour would be canceled since I had booked it for a weekend when a rare typhoon hit Oahu, but it ended safely despite the heavy rain. Eleven participants of various ages joined in, with the ocean waves crashing and rain pouring down.

It was a 45-minute ride while wearing the borrowed helmet and raincoat. My pants and shoes were soaked, and my makeup was washed away, making it an unforgettable experience. I appreciated the thoughtful care provided by the four women who took care of us.

The breathtaking sunset and the starry sky. 感激の夕日と満天の星空

Reviewed by: yui

I chose this tour because the sunset is more beautifully crimson than the sunrise, and it was simply easier to participate at that time of day.

On the day of the tour, I was worried that it might be canceled due to the effects of the hurricane, as the view of Haleakalā from the hotel was covered in clouds. However, my concerns were unfounded. As we began to ascend the mountain by car, the clouds became a thing of the past around 2000 meters, and above that, we were greeted with a clear blue sky.

By the time we welcomed the bright red sunset, the temperature dropped significantly, and I put on the down coat provided by the tour to enjoy the breathtaking view.

At this point, the other tour guests had disappeared, leaving just us at the summit. The second part of the tour was about to begin. Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, had advised us not to look at the sky, and I understood why. The night sky was filled with stars, the Milky Way, and shooting stars welcoming us. We observed the Andromeda Galaxy, red stars, binary stars, and more through a high-resolution telescope. Mr. Yamauchi's clear explanations sparked a sense of curiosity in me that I hadn't felt since childhood.

I climbed Haleakalā during the day 15 years ago, but I was introduced to a completely different Haleakalā by Mr. Yamauchi, and I was very satisfied.

朝日よりも夕日の方が茜色がきれいということ、そして単に時間帯が参加しやすかったことからこのツアーを選びました。

当日はハリケーンの影響で、ホテルからハレアカラ山を望むと雲で覆われ、ツアーが中止になるのではないかと心配しましたが危惧に終わりました。車で山を登り始めると、2000mを超えるあたりから雲は下界のものとなり、それ以高では碧空に変わりました。

やがて真っ赤な夕日を迎える頃になると、気温も一段と下がりツアーで準備してくれたダウンのコートを着込んで、絶景を楽しみました。

この頃になると、他のツアー客はいなくなり山頂には我々だけが取り残されました。
いよいよツアー第2部の始まりです。
ガイドの山内さんには空を見ないように注意されていましたが、その意味が判りました。
夜空には満天の星と天の川、そして流れ星が我々を迎えてくれています。高解像度の望遠鏡でアンドロメダ星雲や赤星、連星などなどを観測。山内さんの判りやすい説明もあり、子供の頃の好奇心がこの年になって芽生えました。

15年も前に昼のハレアカラ山に登りましたが、その時とは全く違うハレアカラ山をガイドの山内さんに紹介して頂き、大満足でした。

Thank you for your hard work over a long time! Even if it's raining below, it's often clear above the clouds, and it's reassuring that if you can't see the stars with Maui All Stars, you can try again as many times as needed. The sunsets and starry skies are different every day, so you can enjoy them no matter how many years it's been! Please come back to Haleakalā again!

長い時間お疲れさまでした!下が雨でも雲の上は快晴のことが多いのと、マウイオールスターズは星が見れなかった場合、
何回でも見れるまでリベンジが効きますの安心です。毎日夕焼けも星空も違って来るので何年振りでも楽しめます!
また是非ハレアカラにいらっしゃって下さいね!

The trip was truly amazing! We love nature, so we truly enjoyed the trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The road was narrow and sometimes scary, but our driver was very skilled and careful. Highly recommended!

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

It's a show that allows you to experience Hawaii. ハワイを実感できるショーです

Reviewed by: 若く見えるが実はおじさん

This time, my spouse and I stayed on the Big Island for six days.

We only booked the "Deluxe Tour to World Heritage Site Kilauea and Mauna Kea Stargazing (Volcano and Stars in One Day!) by Kailani Tours Hawaii" through VELTRA, so we also signed up for this plan to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. It was definitely the right choice!

Although there were opinions in the reviews that everything was in English and it wouldn't be fun unless you were proficient in the language, I’m posting this to alleviate those concerns and help others enjoy it more.

1. First, the coupon reception
I attached a photo, but when you enter the Kamehameha Hotel and go to the right at the dedicated reception, you can present your coupon, and they will tell you the meeting place. (Staff were present at this reception from the morning.) This map was provided by the hotel. Since I’m not good at English, bringing it along to ask about the meeting place was a good decision. I might not have understood it just verbally... (It was in an area that seemed to explain Hawaii's history within the hotel.)

2. Meeting place and landmarks
I attached a photo for this as well, but there will be signs in the hotel, so that’s where you gather. The person at the dedicated reception told me to arrive by 5 PM, but be careful about that! It’s better to arrive about an hour early to secure a good spot in line. I arrived 50 minutes early and was at the front of the general line, but there was already one group in the priority line, and it became a queue after about 20 minutes. The seating is first-come, first-served, so it’s best to gather early!

3. Content
After lining up, I received a free lei (I didn’t purchase the paid ones) and took photos (they will come around selling them), and after checking in, we went to the venue to grab drinks and were shown to our seats. I was the first to arrive and sat in the front row center of the general seating, but the Japanese people who arrived normally and lined up were also seated together in fairly decent spots in a separate group. (It seems they make arrangements so that you can converse with others in Japanese.)

At the venue, a band was already performing, and there were free services like tattooing and weaving fish with grass. Of course, drinks, including alcohol, were free-flowing.

Dinner started around 6:15 PM, and it gets dark before 7 PM, so it’s best to wrap up your meal and drinks by then.

Having researched the structure of this event through reviews, I was able to enjoy it a lot even though I’m not good at English. It was fun. (I think it would be enjoyable even for families with children!)

今回はハワイ島に夫婦で6日間の滞在でした。

VELTRAさんの「高級バン(メルセデス・ベンツ)で行く!世界遺産キラウエアとマウナケア山麓星空観測(1日で火山と星 ♪)デラックスツアーby カイラニ・ツアーズ・ハワイ」しかツアーは申し込んでいなかったので、ハワイの雰囲気を堪能するためにこのプランも申し込みました。
参加して大正解でした!

口コミではすべて英語なので語学が堪能でないと面白くないとの意見も出ていましたが、そんな不安を解消するためと、より楽しんでもらうために投稿をします。

1.まずはクーポンの受付
 写真を張りましたが、カメハメハホテルを入って右手の専用受付にクーポンを出すと、
 集合場所を教えてくれます。(この受付は朝からスタッフが張り付いていました。)
 この見取り図はホテルでもらった見取り図です。英語が苦手なため持参して集合場所を聞い
 たのは正解でした。口頭だけだとわからなかったかも、、、
 (ホテル内にあるハワイの歴史説明エリアみたいなところでした。)

2.集合場所や目印
 これも写真を張りましたが、ホテル内に看板が出されるのでそこに集合です。
 専用受付の人は17時に行けばいいと教えてくれますが、そこは注意!
 約一時間前に行って列の先頭をとれるかとれないかの感じです。私は50分前に行って
 一般列の先頭でしたが、既に優先席列には一組並んでいましたし、20分ぐらいしたら行列
 になっています。観覧席は早いもの順なので早めの集合が良いですよ!

3.内容
 行列に並んだあと、無料レイ(有料例は購入しませんでした)を受けもらって撮影後
 (会場で売りに来ます)、本受付をしたのちに会場までいって飲み物を取って席に案内を
 してもらいます。
 私は一番乗りで一般席最前列中央でしたが、普通に来て並んでいた日本人たちは、別グルー
 プでもそんなに悪くない席にある程度まとめて座らせてもらっていました。(日本語で他人
 と会話ができるようにしてくれる配慮みたいです)
 
 会場ではすでにバンドが演奏、タトゥーや草で魚編む体験など無料のサービスがあります。
 もちろん飲み物もアルコールを含めてフリードリンクです。

 1815ぐらいから食事開始で、19時前には手元も暗くなりますから、それまでに食事や飲み
 物はひと段落しておいたほうがいいですね。

ある程度、このイベントの構成等を口コミ等で調べていたので、英語が苦手でもすごく楽しめました。
楽しかったです。(お子様がいても楽しめると思いますよ!)

Thank you for coming to the Island Breeze Luau Show.
And above all, we are filled with gratitude for your warm message.
We appreciate the love we receive from everyone and the opportunity to work in the Hawaiian breeze.

Our hotel staff and dancers always strive to ensure that everyone enjoys their experience, but due to the influence of returning guests and reviews, we have noticed that many guests line up very early before the reception starts. Therefore, this year we have changed the lineup location from the beachside to the cooler hotel interior.

Receiving comments like yours and such thoughtful explanations inspires us to think of better improvements and motivates us to ensure everyone has a great time.

If you have the opportunity to visit the Big Island again, please stop by. We will always be waiting to deliver warm breezes and aloha.

この度はアイランドブリーズルアウショーにお越しくださりありがとうこざいました。
そして何よりも心温まるメッセージを投稿して頂き、
ハワイの風、皆様からの愛情を受けることのできる私たちの仕事に
感謝の気持ちでいっぱいでございます。

どのお席でも楽しんで頂けるよう
ホテルスタッフも、ダンサーも常に心がけておりますが
毎年楽しみに来てくださる方、また口コミもご覧になっていただいてる影響で
受付開始のお時間よりとても早くお並び頂いていることもあり
昨年まではビーチサイドでお並び頂いていたのを今年から涼しいホテル内に
変更させていただきました。

頂くコメントやこのようにご丁寧なご説明を頂けると、
より良い改善策を考え、楽しんで頂けるよう
私たちもまた努めるきっかけとなっております。

またハワイ島にお越しになる機会がございましたら、是非お立寄りくださいませ。
温かい風とalohaをお届けできるよういつまでもお待ちしております。

Dinner and show was great. Boat is too crowded: too many people. Employees really worked hard and did a great job. Show was very entertaining and the dancers were fun. All in all a good experience.
