ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察!<12~3月/軽食付き/英語ガイド/カイルアコナ発>

It was family-friendly. ファミリー向けでした。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family. The Body Glove boat was very clean, and the seats were spacious, which was great. We departed from Kailua Pier and after about 10 minutes, we stopped to look for whales. When we spotted a spout, we moved closer. This repeated for about two hours. It was nice to enjoy at a leisurely pace since we had children with us.

On the boat, there was an all-you-can-eat selection of pastries, cupcakes, and fruits, along with various drinks (soft drinks only). Alcoholic beverages started at $4. While searching for whales, we enjoyed eating and drinking on the sofa, and when a whale was spotted, there would be an announcement to go see it.

However, because the boat was large, even when we found a whale, we couldn't get too close, which was a bit disappointing. Along the way, we also encountered a pod of dolphins. The dolphins were friendly and came close, which was moving. I think it's a great experience for families with small children or older adults.

ファミリーで参加しました。
ボディグローブ号はとても綺麗で、座席もゆったりとしていて非常に良かったです。
カイルア桟橋を出発し、10分くらいしたところで停泊し、クジラを探します。潮吹きしている場所を発見すると、そこへ移動。
2時間程度その繰り返しでした。子供がいたので、ゆったりと楽しめて良かったです。
船の中では、ペストリーやカップケーキ、フルーツが食べ放題で、飲み物も色々ありました。(ソフトドリンクのみ)アルコール類は$4からでした。クジラを探している間は、ソファーでそれらを飲み食いして楽しみ、クジラが発見されたら館内放送が入るので、見に行く。といった感じです。
ただ、船が大きいためクジラを発見しても、あまり近くまでは寄れず、少し遠目で見る感じで残念でした。
途中イルカの群れにも会いました。イルカは人なつっこく、近くまで寄ってきてくれて、感動しました。
小さいお子さんのいるファミリーもしくは、年配の方には良いと思います。

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

I recommend it. おすすめです

Reviewed by: マスタン

Since we didn't have a rental car, we participated in this tour with transportation included. It took about 45 minutes to get from our hotel to the meeting point, and we were dropped off just before the port, so we needed to walk to the Body Glove boat. The crew was at the reception, and you can check in by saying your name. As mentioned in other posts, the crew does not understand Japanese at all. I also speak very little English, but they provide a Japanese sheet with important information and emergency signals, so it's okay if you don't understand the English explanations. Since I have poor eyesight, they lent me prescription snorkeling goggles. I didn't understand everything in English, but since I participated in January, it was whale watching season, not dolphin watching. It was a great deal because you could snorkel and see whales. Although the sea was calm, it was still open ocean, so those prone to seasickness should take precautions. They do provide emergency assistance, but I think you need to be capable of managing your own snorkeling. Regarding transportation, the pickup was over an hour after the cruise ended, so I think it's fine to explore the nearby shops. I believe this is an activity that offers a unique experience that can only be enjoyed on the Big Island.

当方レンタカーがなかった為送迎つきのこちらに参加いたしました。
滞在ホテルより集合場所までは45分くらい、港の手前で下ろされるため、ボディーグローブ号まで歩いていく必要はあります。クルーが受付をしているので名前を言えばチェックインできます。投稿にあるとおりクルーに日本語はまったく通じません。当方も英語はほとんどしゃべれませんが、注意事項、危険時の合図などは日本語のシートを出してくれるので英語の説明がわからなくても大丈夫です。目が悪いのでめがねをかけていたら度つきの水中グラスも貸してくれました。また英語のためわからなかったのですが当方の参加した一月は鯨が来るシーズンのためイルカではなくホエールウオッチングでした。シュノーケリングもでき鯨も見れることでお得ではありました。穏やかとはいえ外洋なので波はあるので船酔いするかたは対策が必要です。また緊急時の対応はしてくれますが自己管理でシュノーケリングできる能力は必要とみます。送迎のほうですが迎えはクルージング終了後一時間以上もあったので周辺のお店を散策してもいいと思います。ビッグアイランドでしか味わえない体験ができるアクテビティだと思います。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察!<12~3月/軽食付き/英語ガイド/カイルアコナ発>

I saw it! 見えました!

Reviewed by: kentarou

On the Body Glove, for a while after departure, we watched people having breakfast with soft drinks and light snacks while we were already full and just had some water... When the engine stopped, we focused our eyes and there they were! We were able to see spouts and breaching clearly. We moved several times and were able to see them one after another; it really felt like there were so many whales coming to Hawaii. We had a wonderful half-day.

ボディーグローブ号、出港からしばらくはソフトドリンクと軽食で朝食をとる人たちを横目に満腹の我々はお水をいたただいてしばし・・・。エンジンがとまったので目をこらしていると、出てきました!潮吹き、ブリーチング、しっかり見ることが出来ました。何度も移動しながら次々と見られ、本当にたくさんの鯨がハワイにきているのが実感出来ました。
楽しい半日を過ごしました。

A whale has appeared! くじらが出たぞー

Reviewed by: HACO

I walked excitedly to the Kailua Pier. I was really worried about whether we would see whales after boarding, but they appeared one after another, and I was thrilled. I was also able to see a mother and baby whale, and it was especially cute when the baby whale flicked its tail a couple of times while diving. It was a great experience. Thank you very much.

カイルア桟橋までわくわく歩きました。
乗船してからも本当に鯨が見えるのか心配でしたが、次々に現れ感激しました。
親子鯨も見ることが出来、特に赤ちゃん鯨が潜るときに尾を2,3回振るところがかわいかったです。
良い体験ができました。有り難うございました。

【2025年12月31日限定】スペシャル・ディナークルーズ スターオブホノルル号 年越しカウントダウンと花火観賞で盛大にお祝い!選べるディナープラン

New Year's Eve - New Year's Eve Special Dinner Cruise ニューイヤーズイブ・大晦日スペシャルディナークルーズ 

Reviewed by: しゃくなげ

Last year, I watched the New Year's Eve fireworks on the beach in Waikiki, and this year, I signed up to see the fireworks from the sea while enjoying delicious food. Upon entering the main entrance of DFS Galleria, I was greeted by a staff member in uniform. I was guided by bus to Aloha Tower, and there were guides at key points, which made me very excited about the upcoming cruise. Once on board, I was welcomed with champagne, and on the tables were props like hats and whistles to enhance the atmosphere, building up the excitement. Inside the ship, lively band music filled the air, and songs from various countries were performed upon request. Dishes were served on plates at the tables, and although I dislike meat, the lobster dish was more than enough for me. After a fun time with a dance segment for newlywed couples, the hula dance began. As various hula dances concluded, the countdown started, and fireworks and sounds echoed from Ko Olina and other places. Finally, a grand fireworks display began from the ship in front of Aloha Tower. Overwhelmed by the magnificence of the fireworks up close, I offered words of gratitude for the past year and prayed for a good year ahead for myself and my family, enjoying a wonderful moment. I sincerely thank everyone who made this amazing experience possible.

 昨年ワイキキの浜辺で大晦日の花火を見て、今年は、美味しい食事を食べながら、海から花火を見ようと申し込みをしました。DFSギャラリアで、正面玄関に入っていくと制服を着た方が出迎えてくれました。アロハタワーまでバスで案内されましたが、要所要所で案内が立っており、これからのクルーズが、とても期待が持てました。船内に入るとウエルカムシャンペンをいただき、席には、帽子や笛など会場を盛り上げる小道具が置いてあり、いよいよ雰囲気が盛り上がります。船内では、軽快なバンドの音が鳴り響き、リクエストに応じて各国の歌が披露されていました。プレートに盛り付けた料理が卓上に置かれ、私は、肉が嫌いでしたがロブスター料理で十分でした。新婚さんカップルに対するダンスタイムなど楽しい時間の後、いよいよフラダンスの始まりです。さまざまなフラダンスが終了し、カウントダウンが始まるころコオリナや各地で花火や音が鳴り響きます。最後にアロハタワー前の船上から盛大な花火が始まりました。間近で見る花火の盛大さに圧倒されながら、過ぎゆく年に感謝の言葉を捧げながら、本年も私や家族にとって良い年でありますようにとお祈りしながら、楽しいひと時を過ごしました。素晴らしい時間を経験させていただいた皆様方に心から感謝申し上げます。

It was a comfortable cruising experience. 快適なクルージングでした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The whale watching season has just begun, and I was worried about whether I would be able to see any whales, but I was able to see about three spouting and their tails perfectly.

Along the way, a pod of dolphins passed by, and dolphins welcomed us at the port, which was also adorable.

The captain and the staff provided a lot of explanations, but since my English skills are lacking, I couldn't catch everything. If there are more people, it seems that a Japanese guide will accompany us, but with fewer people, we can freely use the deck of the boat, which is also appealing.

The view of the town of Kona, the airport, and the mountains from the sea was beautiful. If it's high season, I wonder if I could see more whales up close. Next time, I want to improve my English skills and participate again.

 ホエールウォッチングシーズンが始まったばかりで鯨を見ることが出来るか不安でしたが、ばっちり三頭ほど潮吹きや尻尾を見ることが出来ました。
 途中、イルカの群れが近くを通過、港でもイルカがお出迎え、これも可愛かったです。

 船長以下、スタッフの方がたくさん解説してくれていたのですが、英語力の無い私では全部は聞き取れませんでした。人数が多ければ日本語ガイドの方が付いてくれるようですが、少なければ少ないなりに船のデッキを自由に使えるので、これも捨てがたい。

 海から見えるコナの町、空港、山もきれいでした。
 ハイシーズンならもっとたくさん、そして近くで鯨を見ることが出来るかな。次回は英語力を高めてまた参加してみたいです。

キャプテン・クック号 サンセット・ディナークルーズ <夕食・カクテル1杯付き/カイルアピア発>

A beautiful sunset and soothing Hawaiian music. すてきな夕日と心地よいハワイアンミュージック

Reviewed by: ウクレレじじい

The staff provided a detailed explanation of the history of Hawaii Island in English, which was a great opportunity for my wife, who is currently learning English, to hear native speech. However, I was disappointed that I could hardly understand it. The Hawaiian cocktail "Mai Tai" served on board was fruity and had a pleasant taste.

I was very satisfied to be able to listen to live performances by musicians after purchasing a ukulele, as I had become fascinated with it. The pleasant breeze matched perfectly with the Hawaiian atmosphere.

The dinner included many local Hawaiian dishes and was delicious, but I felt that the variety was limited for the price. As the sun sets, the temperature drops significantly, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved shirt.

 スタッフが英語でハワイ島の歴史を詳しく説明してくれ、英語学習中の家内にとっては、ネイティブの英語を聞く良い機会でした。しかし、私はほとんど聞き取れず残念でした。船内で振る舞われるハワイアンカクテル「マイタイ」は、フルーティで口当たりが良かったです。 
 私は、ウクレレに夢中でハワイのウクレレを購入してからツアーに参加しましたが、ミュージシャンの生の演奏を聴くことができて、とても満足でした。心地よい風にハワイアンがぴったりあっていました。
 ディナーの料理はハワイの郷土料理なども多くておいしかったのですが、値段の割には品数が少なかったと感じました。
 日が沈む頃になると随分気温が下がります。長袖を持って行かれることをお勧めします。

First Whale 初めての鯨

Reviewed by: MAO PAPA

This time, I participated with my daughter. My wife passed this time because she gets seasick. We were handed a video camera and set sail.

As soon as we left the dock, we were welcomed by dolphins. My daughter was completely captivated. I felt the pressure to capture the moment on video, and I struggled greatly.

After a while, there was an announcement in English about spotting a spout (probably). No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see it. My daughter seemed to find it and was overjoyed. Finally, I spotted it too, but as for the video and camera...

After that, we were able to see several spouts and even some jumps.

Upon returning to the port, I reported to my wife that we saw whales. As for the quality of the video and camera...

今回娘と二人で参加。
妻は、船酔いがするので今回はパス。
ビデオとカメラを渡され出港。

桟橋を外れすぐにいるかのお出迎え。
娘は、首ったけ。
ビデオをとらなくては、プレッシャーに弱いPAPA大苦戦。

しばらくして潮吹を発見したとの英語のアナウンス(多分)。

ようやくPAPAも発見するもビデオ・カメラは、、、。

その後数回にわたり潮吹きそしてジャンプも見られました。

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I boarded the ship on the morning of New Year's Day in 2010. I tried not to get my hopes up too much, knowing that it wasn't guaranteed to see them, so I was really happy when I did. We moved the ship to several spots, turned off the engine, and waited for the whales to appear, and I was able to see them multiple times. The tense, expectant atmosphere while waiting for the whales, the surprise and excitement when they finally appeared—it was thrilling. It seems that this year, the whales showed up earlier than usual, so I was very lucky.

2010年の元日の午前中に乗船しました。必ず見ることができるわけではない、と期待しすぎないようにしていたので、見ることができてすごくうれしかったです。何箇所か船を移動してはエンジンを切ってクジラが現れるのを待ち、何度も見ることができました。クジラを待つ間のしんとした期待のこもった空気、現れたときの驚き、感激。興奮しますよ。今年はクジラが現れのが早かったらしく、とてもラッキーだったそうです。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

Bringing space closer to us... 宇宙を身近に・・

Reviewed by: keiko

Last year, I participated alone. This time, I joined with my husband to relive that amazing experience.

Looking down at the Haleakalā Crater from 1,000 meters. It was a strange experience, feeling like I was in a silent world with no bird songs or sounds of the wind. I wondered if this is part of the Earth.

That day, since it was close to a full moon, the number of stars seemed slightly fewer, but I was amazed by the size of the moon. It was big and white, looking like I could reach out and touch it. With Mr. Yamauchi's large telescope, I could see the craters on the moon clearly. That was surprising too!

In the cold winter sky, I could sit in a chair with a blanket, warm clothing, gloves, a heat pack, and enjoy warm tea while observing. Listening to the BGM from the car while gazing at the stars, I couldn't stop my tears while listening to Mr. Yamauchi's stories. Even on the way back, the BGM chosen by Mr. Yamauchi plays. That's something to look forward to as well.

That feeling of awe can only be gained by participating in this tour. I hope many people can experience that emotion. It's a thoroughly accommodating tour for customers. I hope other tours will take note of this. (laughs)

Next time, I want to experience the summer night sky with my nephews and nieces.

For those participating in winter, it might be good to keep your feet warm. During the tour, you can enjoy donuts and a delicious, hearty bento, so you'll be well satisfied.

I also participated in a star tour on the Big Island, but it takes a long time to go to Mauna Kea and climb to about 4,200 meters, which makes me physically anxious, and there's a possibility of it being closed due to snow. You watch the sunset at the summit, and for actual star observation, you come down to about 2,800 meters, so you can observe from a higher place at Haleakalā.

昨年、私一人で参加しました。その時の感動を再度味わいたくて主人と参加しました。

1000mから見下ろすハレアカラクレーター。
鳥の鳴声・風の音すらしない無音の世界。これも地球の一部なのだろうかと不思議な体験をしました。

その日は、満月に近いために★の数は若干少なく感じましたが月の大きさにビックリしました。白くて大きく手が届きそうな月でした。
山内さんの大型望遠鏡で月のクレーターまではっきり見えたのです。これにも驚きでした!!

冬の寒空の中、椅子に座りひざ掛け、防寒義、手袋、カイロ、暖かいお茶を飲みながら観測できるのです。
★を眺めながら、車中から聞こえてくるBGM。山内さんのお話を聞きながら涙が止まりませんでした。
帰りの車中でも山内さんチョイスのBGMが流れます。これも楽しみですよ。

あの感動はこのツアーに参加をしないと得られないですね。
沢山の方に感動してもらいたいと思います。
お客様の為の至れり尽くせりツアーです。○○ツアーも見習ってもらいたいですね。(笑)


私も今度は、夏の夜空を甥や姪と体験したいです。

冬の参加の方は足元を暖かくされると良いかもしれません。
ツアー中はドーナツを食べたり、ボリュームたっぷりで美味しい幕の内弁当が出ますので満腹度もパッチリです。

ハワイ島の★ツアーも参加しましたが、長時間かけてマウナケアに行き4200m級の山へ登って行きますので体力的に不安ですし、雪でcloseになる可能性もあります。山頂でsunsetを見て、実際の★観測は2800mくらいの所まで降りてきますので、ハレアカラの方が高い場所で観測できますよ~~。

Thank you for bringing your husband along this time. Since the moon was hidden below, it was like a new moon situation, and we were able to see many stars. The sunset from the mountaintop is beautiful, but it's a shame that so many people quickly descend. After the sunset, there is a wonderful situation where the sky turns green for about 40 minutes. This is when twilight begins. Please share more fun secret information about cars with me again! (laugh)

今回はご主人も同伴されて頂き感謝です。
今回は月も下に隠れて新月のような状況であったので
沢山の星が見られましたよね。
山頂で夕日が落ちてからが夕焼けが綺麗なのですが
沢山の方々があっという間に下山してしまうのが
もったいないのですね。

黄昏の時間が始まるのです。

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

It was fun! 楽しかったです♪

Reviewed by: akky

This was the only optional tour I booked during my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. Our guide, Shinya, really energized everyone on the bus, making it enjoyable and keeping us engaged. I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but I managed to get through it without feeling too unwell.

The weather was surprisingly good for this time of year, and the temperature wasn't too low, allowing for great observations.

Recommendations:
- Dress warmly. They do provide outerwear, but it can still get cold after a long time, so it's best to go fully prepared, including a hat.
- Don't forget to bring water and some sweet snacks like chocolate. While water is provided, I think it's a good idea to bring your own as well.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

初めてのハワイ島旅行で、唯一申し込んだオプショナルツアーでした。
ガイドの「しんやさん」が、バスの中の皆を盛り上げてくれて、飽きずに楽しむことができました。高山病の配慮もしてくれて、ちょっと心配していたのですがそれ程不調にならずに過ごせました。
この時期にしては!?天気も良くて気温もそれ程低くなくいい状態での観測ができました。

おススメ
?暖かい格好をしていく事
 ※上下防寒具は貸していただけますが、やっぱり長時間は寒いですので帽子も含めて完全防備で行ったほうがいいです。
?水分とチョコレートなどの甘いものの持参を忘れずに。
 ※水はついていますが、持参していくといいと思います。

また機会があったら参加したいです。

An emotional experience! 感動体験!

Reviewed by: たかる

This was my first visit to the Big Island for our honeymoon. My husband, who usually doesn't have many requests for trips, had one wish: he wanted to visit the mountain with the observatory if we were going to Hawaii! To fulfill that wish, I booked the Mauna Kea summit tour with Masashi.

As a result, my husband was extremely satisfied! Although he usually doesn't talk much, on the way back, he was sitting next to the guide and chatting away, which made me happy to see how much he enjoyed it. I believe this was all thanks to the guide, who took great care of the participants' health and provided warm clothing. Thank you very much!!!

The sunset at the summit and the stargazing a little further down were perfect for honeymooners, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

I had done my homework by reading experience reports (I wore Heattech and brought a fleece and scarf), so we were able to fully enjoy both activities. If you want to make the most of this tour, it's best to dress appropriately.

Dinner was around 4:30 PM, and we returned to the hotel around 9:30 to 10 PM, so I recommend preparing a light snack the day before.

Stargazing can vary depending on the season, time, and moon phase, so this is a tour I would love to visit again multiple times. Thank you!

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイ島訪問でした。
旅行に関してあまりリクエストのない夫でしたが、ハワイ島に行くなら天文台のある山に行きたい!という唯一の願いを叶えるため、マサシのマウナケア山頂ツアーに申し込みました。
結果、夫は大満足!
普段口数は少ないのに、帰りのバスではガイドさんの隣席でいろいろ話を聞いたりして、よっぽど楽しかったんだとこちらまで嬉しくなりました。
それも全て、参加者へのきっちりした体調管理や温かい防寒着を貸してくださったガイドさんのおかげだと思います。
ありがとうございました!!!
山頂での夕日、そして少し下へ降りての星空観測はムード満点でハネムーナーにもぴったりでした♪

体験談を読んだりして事前準備(ヒートテックを着込み、フリースとマフラーを持って行きました)をしっかりしていたので、どちらもたっぷり時間をかけて楽しめました。このツアーを堪能したい方は、万全の恰好で行ったほうがいいですよ。

晩ご飯のお弁当が4時半ごろ、ホテルに帰るのが9時半から10時ごろとなるので、ちょっとした夜食を前日に用意しておくこともお勧めします。

星空観測は季節や時間、月齢などで見え方が変わるので、また何度も訪れたいと思うツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

【冬季限定!1/3~3/21】ホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号 1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船!軽食&ドリンク付き<ワイキキ送迎可>

I quickly spotted a whale. クジラはすぐに見えました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

As soon as we set sail, we spotted a whale, and the cruise began with us following it. It seems that we are not allowed to follow the same whale for a long time, so after about 30 to 40 minutes, we moved away from that whale to search for another one. However, we couldn't find any more after that, but since the cruise was along Waikiki, the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were very beautiful.

出港するとすぐにクジラを発見し、それを追う形でクルーズが始まりました。長い時間同じクジラを追うことは禁止されているそうで、30~40分後、そのクジラを離れて別のクジラを探すことに。 ただ、その後は見つけることができませんでしたが、ワイキキに沿ってクルーズだったので、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの眺めがとても綺麗でした。

It was the best tour. 最高のツアーでした

Reviewed by: 藤田

It was the tour I expected.
There seem to be other options for stargazing tours in Maui, but I recommend this one for anyone other than those who prioritize cost. Also, if you're looking for a tour aimed at Japanese participants at a similar price point, I highly recommend this one.
We participated as a family, and they were very kind to my 4-year-old child, who could join for free.
Not only was the content great, but I believe the biggest charm is the personality of our guide, Mr. Yamauchi.
Additionally, the bento provided with this tour was the best in taste and volume among the Japanese bento I've had overseas.

期待通りのツアーでした。
マウイでの星空ツアーは他にも選択肢があるようですが、とにかく経済性という方以外にはこちらをお奨めします。又、同程度の金額の日本人向けツアーなら尚更こちらがお奨めです。
今回は家族で参加で、無料での参加となる4歳の子供にも大変親切にしていただきました。
内容もさることながら、やはりガイドの山内さんのお人柄が最大の魅力と思います。
更に付け加えると、こちらのツアーにつくお弁当は今まで海外で食べたことのある和食弁当の中で最高の味とボリュームでした。

Thank you for participating in Christmas.
I feel that looking at the stars from a young age changes one's perspective for the future.
Even as adults, it resonates with us, and the universe they see holds infinite possibilities.
I am also grateful for the times my grandfather took me on night walks when I was in elementary school. (laughs)
The night sky I saw back then is different from the starry sky I see as an adult.
I look forward to reuniting with the children again.

クリスマスに参加して頂き有難うございます。
小さい子供のうちから星を眺めると今後の意識が変わる気がするのです。
大人でも心に響くのですから、彼等の目に映る宇宙は無限の可能性を持たせてくれます
自分も小学生から祖父に夜の散歩の延長で、連れて行かれたことに感謝しています。笑
あの時見た夜空は大人で見る星空と違っているからなのです。
またの子供達との再会も楽しみにしています。

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

Road closed!! ロードクローズ!!

Reviewed by: MIDORI

I participated in the tour on December 20th. That morning, an incredible thunderstorm suddenly appeared on the Big Island, bringing hail and knocking down trees, making it a very rare weather day.

Unfortunately, due to the storm, we experienced a phenomenon where 30 cm of snow fell in just 30 minutes, which led to road closures, preventing us from reaching the summit. However, thanks to our guide Shinya's entertaining Yoshimoto-style talk, we were able to enjoy the tour in the vehicle without a moment of silence and had a great time!

Of course, we also made sure to observe the starry sky from a high point on the mountain, where Shinya provided fascinating explanations of the countless stars.

Since we couldn't see a moonbow this time, I hope to challenge myself to spot one during my next visit to the Big Island, aiming for a full moon.

Shinya, please continue to provide fun tours with your Yoshimoto-style talks. I look forward to seeing beautiful photos as well!

12月20日のツアーに参加させていただきました。当日午前中は凄まじいサンダーストームが突如ハワイ島に出現し、ヒョウが降ったり、木がなぎ倒されたりで、大変珍しい気象の日でありました。

残念ながらそのストームにより30分で30cmもの雪が降る、という現象が発生し、ロードクローズとなってしまったため山頂まで行くことはできませんでしたが、ガイドのしんやさんの吉本トークでツアー車中に笑いが途切れることはなく大変楽しく過ごさせていただくことができました!
もちろん、目的の星空観測もできるだけ山の高い位置で、としっかり配慮していただいて満天の星を面白く解説していただけました。

今回はムーンボーは見ることができませんでしたから、次回ハワイ島を訪れる機会があったら満月の狙ってムーンボー確認に挑戦したいと思っています。

しんやさん、これからも吉本トークで楽しいツアーを続けてください。きれいな写真にも期待しています。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察!<12~3月/軽食付き/英語ガイド/カイルアコナ発>

Wild whales are the best! 野生のクジラ最高w

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was honestly worried about whether I would be able to see them in the wild, but I was able to see them up close, even more than I imagined, and it was incredibly moving.

I don't think I could ever see wild whales that close in my everyday life.

It was a very precious experience.

Although we were supposed to see whales, I was lucky to also spot dolphins.

The food on the boat was only mentioned as snacks and drinks in advance, but there were quite stylish light meals and drinks, and I was satisfied with the service.

It might be a good idea to check the meeting point and hotel location in advance. Depending on the situation, a shuttle service might be cheaper. We were far from the hotel and took a taxi, which ended up costing quite a bit...

That's the only regret I have.

However, I think the experience was so amazing that it overshadowed that, so I have no regrets.

I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

野生なので見れるかどうか、正直不安でしたが、想像以上に間近で見ることが出来て、凄く感動しました。

普段、見ることは全くない、野生のクジラをあんな間近で
見ることは出来ないと思います。

非常に貴重な体験でした。

クジラと言いつつ、ちゃっかり、イルカも見れてラッキーでした。

船内の食事も、スナックとドリンクとしか事前に書いて無かったのですが、結構お洒落な感じの軽食とドリンクがあって
サービス面でも満足しました。

集合場所とホテルの場所は事前にチェックしておいた方が良いかもです。場合によっては、送迎ありのほうが安くなる場合もあります。
自分らは、ホテルから遠く、タクシーで行ったのですが、相当な料金が掛かってしまいました。。。

それだけが悔やまれます。

が、そんな事も吹き飛ぶくらいの体験が出来たと思いますので後悔はないです。

また、ハワイに行った時には、ぜひ参加したいですね。

Big Island Afternoon Whale Watch Tour from Kona - Body Glove Cruises [Dec - Mar]

Excellent and thank you.

Reviewed by: Yano Moriyama

I hope that everyone who goes to Hawaii gets a chance to participate in this tour since it was one of the best tours I went to when I was in the Big Island in Hawaii. The captain went on a great route in the water to see many places and we saw whales which was the best part of the day. If you go to Hawaii and the Bid Island, I say you should get to this tour. I want to go again!

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

In Hawaii? Gottta go & see whales!

Reviewed by: Rebecca and Jaxon Berry

I cannot begin to say how much fun I had on this cruise. Not only did we get to see whales, and the captain did a great job of getting as close as he could without disturbing them, but the activities and food on-board made the experience just THAT MUCH BETTER! It was a great experience being able to go to the top deck and view the whales and then head down into the ship for a very yummy buffet lunch. Boy were we full after that :) Cannot wait for next year so we can do this again. Two thumbs WAY WAY up!

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

Very satisfied! 大満足!

Reviewed by: ハネムーナー

I saw a sunset from an elevation much higher than Mount Fuji, and such a beautiful starry sky for the first time in my life! I was extremely satisfied.

The sky was clear with no moon, allowing me to fully enjoy the wonderful transition from dusk to night. I was worried about the cold, but the wind at the summit was unusually weak that day. My hands and feet got cold, but thanks to my warm clothing, I was able to endure being outside for a long time.

Our guide, Shinya, was knowledgeable about stars and the Big Island of Hawaii, and he shared many fascinating stories. I definitely want to go on the same tour again someday to see the amazing sky views.

富士山よりもずっと高い標高からの夕焼けと、あんなに美しい星空は、生まれて初めて見ました!大満足です。
スッキリ晴れて月もなかったので、夕暮れ~夜の素晴らしい空を、存分に楽しむことができました。
寒さを心配していましたが、当日の山頂は珍しく風が弱く、手足は冷たくなりましたが、長時間外にいても防寒着のおかげで絶えることができました。
担当ガイドのしんやさんは、星のことも、ハワイ島のことも、博識で、大変興味深い話を沢山してくださいました。是非またいつか、同じツアーで、素晴らしい空の景色を見に行きたいと思います。

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Outstanding!

Reviewed by: Katie<3

We did this tour on our first day at Oahu, and it gave us an excellent introduction to the culture, landscapes, and lifestyles of Hawai'i. The tour was absolutely fantastic; we saw so many different and beautiful places without ever feeling rushed. Perhaps the best thing about the tour though was our guide Keau- he was so welcoming, funny, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this tour to all visitors to Hawai'i :)

Aloha!

Moved 感動

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Although I was unable to see the long-awaited sunset due to the clouds, I was still deeply moved by the ever-changing sunlight (I even got to see the "angel's ladder"), the majestic mountains, and the starry sky. When I gaze at the sunset from Japan, I can't help but think that someone else is probably watching the same sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea... I would love to visit again next year.

雲があったため、残念ながら念願の夕日を見ることはできませんでしたが、それでも刻々と変わっていく太陽光(天使のはしごも見ることができました)、雄大な山、そして満点の星空に触れることができ、本当に感動を頂きました。日本から夕日を眺めると、今日も誰かがマウナケアの山頂から同じ夕日を見ているんだろうな・・・なんて考えてしまいます。来年、また訪れたいです。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Fun Time on Surf Bus

Reviewed by: Sandy

We had a great time on this tour. The group was small, so the guide could be flexible and give individual attention to each participant. There was a range of activities so you could choose how active you wanted to be. We did the Wailea Falls hike and stand-up paddling. We had lunch at the cafe at Wailea Falls, very good Hawaiian-style food. We were glad we paid the extra for an instructor on the paddling as it was challenging. I would only recommend doing it on your own if you are experienced. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning more about the North Shore.

We were blessed with great weather, making it the best tour. Dinner at the Onizuka Visitor Center turned into a fun hiking experience thanks to the lovely weather. The sunset was more beautiful than I imagined. Thanks to the staff's attentive service, I was able to fully enjoy the summit of Mauna Kea without experiencing any altitude sickness.

お天気に恵まれたので最高のツアーなりました。
オニヅカビジターセンターでの夕食も良い御天気のおかげで楽しいハイキングのようになりました。
サンセットは想像以上に美しかったです。
スタッフの人のきめ細かい対応のおかげで高山病にも全くならずにマウナケア山頂を満喫できました。
