So we took this cruise on our anniversary and it was a really cloudy and gray day. We didn't see any whales that day, but true to their word they issued a rain check. Luckily, we built in a flex day to our trip and were able to go again on Sunday. We saw three whales that day! It was an incredible experience. I definitely recommend this cruise!

One notable aspect of Masashi's tour is the abundance of warm clothing options tailored for those who are sensitive to the cold. While other tours seemed to only provide knee-length jackets, this tour also offered overalls with insulated pants, allowing us to lie on the ground during stargazing after sunset. That said, women who are particularly sensitive to the cold might feel more comfortable bringing their own thicker hoodies or lightweight down jackets. I also brought leg warmers. However, the gloves I borrowed were quite thin, and I wished they were a bit warmer.
Additionally, there was a service offering warm tea during stargazing, which was truly thoughtful. The explanation of the constellations was clear, using a laser pointer, and it made me realize that we, as Japanese, can only see a small part of the constellations. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Southern Cross, which I thought could only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. The guide, Mr. Yama, who explained the constellations, was very entertaining, making it a tour filled with laughter.
マサシのツアーの特筆すべき点は、やっぱり日本人の寒がりに対応した防寒着の充実でしょう。他のツアーでは、膝丈の上着だけのようでしたが、当ツアーでは、オーバーオールタイプの綿入りズボンも用意されており、日が落ちてからの星空観測でも地面に寝転べるほどでした。とはいえ、寒がりの女性はご自分でも分厚めのパーカーや薄手のダウン等準備されたほうが安心です。私は加えてレッグウォーマーも持っていきました。ただ、お借りした手袋は結構薄めで、もう少しあったかいといいなーと思いました。
加えて、星空観測中に暖かいお茶のサービスがあり、本当に至れり尽くせりでした。
星座の説明は、レーザーポイントを使ってわかりやすく、私達日本人は星座のほんの一部分しか見えてないのだなあと実感しました。南半球でしか見えないと思っていた南十字星を見ることができたのもうれしい驚きでした。星座の説明をしてくれた山さん?というガイドさんの話はとっても楽しく、笑い声の絶えないツアーでした。

First time to Hawaii, this definitely was a must see. Our tour guide was very informative, he himself served in the military. He kept us on schedule, we had no long lines to stand in to receive our tickets, our guide received the tickets directly from the booth for our entire group, allowing us to enter promptly. The tour of Pearl Harbor was a very solemn reminder of the cost that has been paid to sustain our nation's freedom. Enjoyed the tour of the USS Missouri, the ship is massive, tour guide did a wonderful job pointing out the facts and point of interests on the ship. The tour of the Pucnchbowl & downtown was just as good. Our guide again shared alot of interesting facts & info. Well worth the time.

This cruise was fantastic!! We saw so many whales. The captain did a wonderful job anticipating where they would reemerge. It was fantastic. We initially didn't order the lunch, but we added it, and I firmly recommend that you add it as well. The timing fits in perfectly within the trip and the kids loved eating the plentiful buffet. The activities are fun and there is plenty of room. My daughter made a lei for her mom to wear. Overall a great value and a tremendous time!

We participated as a family.
This was our first time going whale watching.
Since there were few Japanese passengers, there were no staff who spoke Japanese on board.
As a result, all the announcements and explanations were in English.
I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I thoroughly enjoyed the whale watching.
With fewer passengers, we were able to move around to various positions on the boat, making the watching environment the best.
I was particularly moved by the sight of the whales breaching.
I couldn't help but scream in excitement.
However, since we were expecting to see the breaching right in front of us, it was disappointing that the moment happened quite far away.
Lastly, perhaps due to the bad weather, the catamaran rocked quite a bit. Even though I took motion sickness medication, I still got seasick.

We took the 5 hour hike and it was wonderful. I was joined on this activity by 5 families members including my 83 and 80 year old parents. Our tour guide, Akiko, was beyond knowledgable and special.

On April 2nd, I participated with my family of four. It was the perfect day for stargazing, being the third day after the full moon. The clear sky without any clouds added to the excitement when we got off the bus; it was an indescribable feeling.
As the stars seemed to be falling around us, we received thorough explanations. My son had just finished his junior high school entrance exams, so he had retained a lot of knowledge about astronomy, making it a wonderful experience to connect theoretical knowledge with reality. We even got a good look at the rarely visible Cancer constellation.
We confirmed Saturn through the telescope, but it appeared small; the one we saw at the planetarium in Tokyo was larger (perhaps due to the telescope's precision???).
The sunset at Mauna Kea before that was also stunning, with oranges reflected in the clouds and the indescribable colors of the sun's afterimage... everything was wonderful. Additionally, our guide, O, provided a wealth of knowledge backed by data, and his modest yet friendly demeanor made for a truly great tour.
With all these three elements combined, it became an unforgettable Mauna Kea tour for us.
One disappointing aspect was that we had to wait 20 minutes during the tour pickup. This was not the guide's fault, but rather due to some participants not keeping time. Since it was a group activity and we were participating online, unexpected delays can cause anxiety. I encourage those who will participate in the future to keep time so that everyone can enjoy the experience comfortably.
4月2日に、家族4人で参加しました。
満月から3日目に当たる日のため、星を見るには最高の日和でした。また、雲のない絶好の空も重なり、バスを降り立ったときの感動は言い表せないほどのものです。
まるで星が降ってくるようななか、丁寧に解説をしていただきました。ちょうど息子が中学受験を終えたばかりでしたので、天体の知識はばっちり残っており、机上の理論と現実の目が重なり何よりの収穫だったと思います。
あまり見えないかに座もしっかり確認。
望遠鏡では土星を確認しましたがちいさく、東京の科学館の星空観察会で見せてもらったものの方が大きかったです。(たぶん望遠鏡の精度が落ちる???)
その前にあったマウナケアの夕日も雲に反射したオレンジや、太陽の残像のなんともいえない色・・・どれもすばらしい。
また、ガイドのOさんの、データーに裏づけされた知識量と、控えめ且つほどよい親しみで本当によいツアーとなりました。
以上3拍子そろい、私たちにとって忘れられないマウナケアツアーとなりました。
ひとつだけ残念なこと、ツアーのピックアップ時に20分待たされたことです。ガイドさんのせいではなく、参加者の中の時間を守らないということですが、団体行動であること、インターネットで参加をしているので、不測の事態には不安がつのるので、これから参加される方は、ぜひ時間を守ってみんなが気持ちよく過ごせるよう協力しましょう。

The tour was what you'd expect about the Pearl Harbor experience. Our driver was exceptional! He was really friendly, helpful, and went beyond our expectations. At one point as I was talking to my wife on the cell phone (in Fl), I gave him the phone and he talked to her. When the Punchbowl visit was closed for some reason, he took us to another location to enjoy. He offered to drop us off at the swap meet and come back for us at a later time, which wasn't even a part of our tour. Our hotel wasn't a designated drop-off point but he took us there and dropped us off there anyway. I'd definitely book with this company again!

After whale watching, having a meal while enjoying Hawaiian music on a leisurely cruise is the best. Unfortunately, the whales were only small dots in the distance... However, I was able to see whales up close the day before during a dinner cruise, so I was able to accept it. It's all about timing.

The sea of clouds spread out below us, the setting sun, the starry sky, and the silence of the space... these are all things we could never experience in the city. I felt really sorry for my husband, who was left behind in Japan because I couldn't adjust my work schedule. What an unlucky person...! My son talks about that night every day even after returning to Japan.
Also, I appreciate you delivering my sunglasses that I left in the car to the hotel late at night; it was a hassle for you (*^_^*).

Above me was a sky full of stars, the Milky Way, and shooting stars, and I was able to see Saturn and the Pleiades through a telescope, which was breathtaking. The sunset from the summit was also fantastic. The sunrise I saw on Maui was also moving, so next time I definitely want to see it from the summit of Mauna Kea.

We were able to see a mother and baby whale right after we set sail. I was surprised because I thought we wouldn't see them unless we went further offshore! Amidst the cheers of the people around us, we took lots of photos. Soon after, we spotted more whales... When we returned to the cabin, lunch was already prepared. The meal was just okay, I would say. We also got to participate in a ukulele class with the kids, which was a lot of fun.
出航してすぐに親子のクジラを見ることができました。沖合に出なければ、見られないと勝手に思っていたので、びっくり!!
まわりの人々の大きな歓声の中、写真もいっぱい撮りました。そのあとすぐにまた他のクジラ・・・船内に戻るともうランチの用意ができていました。食事はまあまあ、といったところでしょうか。子どもとウクレレ教室にも参加でき、楽しく過ごすことができました。

On March 26, 2010, I participated with my family of five (myself, my wife, our 14-year-old son, 12-year-old daughter, and 9-year-old son). It was a tour with lunch included but no transportation provided. We took The Bus from Waikiki to Aloha Tower. At check-in, we received a green sticker to wear on our chests, and when we arrived at the ship's entrance, a handsome man who appeared to be the captain welcomed us. I asked if we could take a picture together, but he firmly declined.
There were different entrances for those with lunch included and those without (yellow badge). We, who had the lunch included, enjoyed unlimited welcome coffee (hot) and cold water on the first floor. While seated, a vendor came around selling paid juices, but about half of the guests did not order any. After an explanation in English and a brief one in Japanese, we set sail around noon. During the explanation, seasickness medication was offered for free to those who wanted it. It was mentioned that the lunch buffet would start around 12:30, followed by activities like lei-making and hula dancing on the same floor.
After that, we had free time and went to the observation area on the third or fourth floor. There were several summer beds on the fourth floor where you could lie down. We searched for whales at the front of the fourth floor. However, it wasn't easy to spot them, and before we knew it, it was already 12:30... At that moment, an announcement came over the speaker: "A whale has appeared at 3 o'clock!" The whale spouted water into the air, and the ship erupted in cheers! When the dorsal fin became visible, there was another round of applause, and finally, when the tail fin was seen, there was yet another cheer.
It was past 12:30, and lunch had started on the first floor, but since the whale continued to appear, we decided to postpone lunch and keep watching. After about 20 minutes, we moved to the first floor and had lunch while still watching the same whale. Our seats had been assigned beforehand, and we could see the whale from our seats. Later, an announcement said, "Unfortunately, we must say goodbye to this whale as 30 minutes have passed." We were able to enjoy watching for a full 30 minutes, and our family was very satisfied.
After that, lei-making, hula dancing, and ukulele classes began. After lunch, those without lunch also entered the first-floor area, but I’m not sure if similar classes were held on the second floor. However, someone who came in said, "It's cool in here!" so the area where those without lunch were might have been hot. Additionally, we participated in lei-making during the latter part of lunch.

I had heard that you can't see them up close on Oahu, so I didn't have high expectations, but I was able to see breaching at very close range!!

Even the staff who are on board every day said it's a rare occurrence to see it once every week or two, so I felt really lucky.
Of course, the whale watching was amazing, but the lunch buffet had everything from salads to meat, fruits, and desserts. We also enjoyed hula and ukulele lessons, and a cruise with a view of Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once. I think it’s a very worthwhile tour.

I looked at several sites trying to decide which tour to use for our Pear Harbor Tour and chose using Hawaiian Activities because they provided the best description of the tour companies. It was easy to book on-line and when I called to ask what time the bus would pick us up at the hotel, the customer service agent immediately called the company to find out. That to me is service so I booked with them. Booking before you arrive on the island makes life so much easier because everywhere you look, there are tours being promoted and it can be confusing.
The company I chose did a marvelous job. Our coach was clean and air conditioned and the driver/tour guide was marvelous. He told us so much about the history of Hawaii that his narration brought so much more value to the tour. The same applied to the tour guide we had for the USS Missouri. He brought the signing of the armistice with General McArthur, the Allies and the Japanese to life in ways no history book can.

I definitely think you should participate in the Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. This tour allows you to observe the stars from a higher location than the Onizuka Center, so you can enjoy it without being with other tour guests, and you can clearly see the Milky Way, which I highly recommend.
Since we stayed at a B&B, we were supposed to be picked up at a designated supermarket, and after the tour, we were supposed to be the first ones dropped off. However, the guide mistakenly went to the hotel first, which delayed our return home by 30 minutes. I believe the other participants who were dropped off after us were delayed by over an hour.
We had been sightseeing around the island with a rental car before the tour, so I regretted not speaking up earlier when I noticed something was off. The tour itself was enjoyable, so it's unfortunate. The bento box with Japanese food and miso soup was delightful. It was also helpful that they provided pants for warmth, as we were the only ones with them. I'm glad I participated since you can't go to Mauna Kea on your own.
マウナケアのサンセットと星空ツアーには絶対に参加すべきだと思います。
こちらのツアーはオニヅカセンターよりも高い場所で星空を観察するので他のツアー客と一緒にならずに、ゆったりとでき、天の川もハッキリと見れてオススメです。
私達はB&B宿泊だったので指定されたスーパーでピックアップしてもらい、ツアー後は最初に送ってもらえるはずだったのですが、ガイドさんが間違って先にホテルに行っていまい帰宅時間が30分も遅くなりました。
私達の後に送ってもらう他の参加者さんは1時間以上も遅くなったと思います。
ツアー参加までにレンタカーで島内観光していたので途中でおかしいと思っていたので早めにアピールすべきだったと後悔・・・ツアー自体は楽しかったので残念です。
お弁当は和食にお味噌汁が嬉しかったです。
防寒着もズボンがあるのはこちらだけだったので助かりました。
マウナケアには個人では行けないので参加して良かったです。

I can't say enough good about this Luau. The food was good, the show was great. It was just a wonderful time.

The only thing I would say is get there early, but it was the finest experiences I have had. We got to see what we wanted to see and I went to Ernie Pyle's marker. I went to Indiana University and the Joun Bldg is named for him.
Peace and Freedom
