Natural Planetarium 天然プラネタリウム

The journey along Saddle Road is long and takes you on some rough roads. I appreciated the several photo stops along the way. We took a break at Onizuka, enjoying a bento and miso soup. At this point, the sun was quite bright, and sunglasses were necessary. As we drove further up the mountain, we could see the observatory sparkling in the sunset. We took photos and borrowed long coats to observe the sunset at the summit. The wind was strong and it was really cold, but it was definitely worth it. Even the photos taken with my cellphone were beautiful. You could see the colors of the sky changing rapidly. We brought sunglasses, but regretted not bringing gloves. It’s better to have both gloves and sunglasses. In the evening, we did some stargazing a little further down the mountain. They taught us about the stars while sharing interesting stories. I was thrilled to see Saturn clearly through the telescope, almost as if it were drawn in a cartoon. We could even see satellites moving. Of course, we also saw several real shooting stars. It was like experiencing the starry sky you see in a planetarium in Japan, and I thought I would like to go see the winter constellations again.

サドルロードの道のりは長く、良くない道を進んでいきます。途中何度か写真ストップをしてくれるのは嬉しいです。オニヅカでお弁当とお味噌汁をいただき休憩。この時点で太陽がかなり眩しくてサングラスが必要です。さらに山を車で上りキラキラと夕日に光る天文台が見えてきます。写真を撮り、ロングコートを借りて山頂でサンセット観察。風が強く本当に寒いですが、見る価値は充分にありました。携帯電話で撮った写真ですら美しい。空の色がどんどん変化していくのがわかります。私たちは、サングラスは持っていったのですが手袋はもって行かなかったのが後悔ポイント。手袋とサングラスはお持ちになったほうが良いですよ。夜は、少し山を下りたところで星空観察。面白いトークも交えつつ星について教えてくれます。望遠鏡で土星が漫画で書いたようにはっきり見えたのには感激。人口衛星が動いているのまで見えます。もちろん本物の流れ星も何個も見ることが出来ました。日本のプラネタリウムで見るような星空を生で体験できます。もう一度、冬の星座を見に行きたいと思いました。

Were on 5 tours and this was the best one and it was the best for the price. The tour was a little long and we knew that when we purchased the tour. We were picked up at 6:15 A.M. and did not get back until 6 P.M. Was worth every minute. The Tour Director was terrific.

Waikiki Shuttle to Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & City Tour - Roberts Hawaii

Arizona Memorial

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Arizona Memorial Tour was far more then I expected. I think everyone should visit the memorial at least once, and then again any time their patriotism fades. To see first hand the devastation of the ship and realize that there are hundreds of men entombed there is a real eye opener. Our guide was friendly and informative. I would suggest paying the $5 at the memorial for the audio tour, we didn't, and I feel we missed out on some of the reality. The museum is phenomenal and you really need to take your time through it. It's a great tour, but I would like to have spent more time there.

The tour was terrific. I travelled with my 10 year old son, and wanted him to experience as much as possible the history and surroundings of Oahu.Wewere limited on time. The Arizona visit was informative and moving. The island tour was spectacular. The only thing I would have liked to have had more time for was the Dole Pineapple Plantation (maybe 1 full hour so that we could experience the maze, and the grounds). Our tour guide was Kenn, he was the best, and provided us with many laughs and information. I would recommend this tour to everyone I know. thank you so much.

A piece of history awaits...

Reviewed by: Tanya0806

This has been one the best tours I have taken in Hawaii, and definitely the most memorable one. Not only did we see Pearl Harbor, but we were taught so much about the military history Hawaii and being able to go to other points of military interest was a definite twist on the typical Pearl Harbor tour! The guide was a vertiable fountain of knowledge. It is easy enough to go to the Arizona Memorial, but that is just a mere tidbit of the vast expanse of history that is there for learning in the islands. Everything was perfect from pickup to dropoff, and the memories that I have from this experience are priceless.

This a very moving experience, having a father who was in the armed services during WWII and mother who worked at Hunters Point, San Francisco. I just found out she was on the USS Missouri to deliver papers just prior it leaving San Francisco on its trip to the Midway for the siging of the peace treaty with the Japanese. It is a history lesson for all, adults and children to know in order not to repeat history. The tour guide was excellent, he had a vast knowledge of history of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona and the other ships lost that fateful day. Being form Aeia, he also had avast knowledge of the Hawaiian history as well. Excellent time.

Pacific Star - Star of Honolulu

Reviewed by: Cheyenne Klein

It was my mom's birthday and we went with the family ! What a great time we had and the food was just fantastic. A lot of the dinner cruises don't seem to put to much thought and effort in the cuisine, but whoever came up with the menu for the Pacific Star obviously knew what they were doing. The nice thing was how relaxing and quiet it was. My sister walked around the boat and noticed how loud the hula show was, and I am glad that we chose the Pacific Star. The guitar player was top-notch and it was a nice not having to yell at each other to hear everyone over the music.

The scenery was very beautiful... but it was cold! とても素敵な景色でした・・・でも寒かった!～

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The final event of our week-long trip to the Big Island was the "Mauna Kea Summit and Stargazing Tour." We joined the tour from Waimea and headed straight to the summit, but along the way, we were treated to a rainbow and the vast sight of Mauna Loa, making the journey absolutely captivating. Having seen plenty of lava up close at Kilauea, the scenery here felt expansive and majestic.

After a short break at the visitor center, we finally reached the summit. It took us about 20 minutes to climb to the top. The wind was incredibly strong and freezing, but the view from up there was beyond words (please see the photos).

Additionally, the starlit sky and shooting stars we saw from a spot just below the summit after sunset are unforgettable.

　１週間のハワイ島旅行の最後を締めるイベントが「マウナケア山頂と星空ツアー」でした。
　ワイメアからツアーに合流し、一路山頂に向かいましたが、途中虹が見れたり、マウナロアの広大な姿を眺めることができたりして道中もまったく飽きることがありません。キラウエアで散々と溶岩を間近に見てきましたが、ここでの景色は拡がりがあって雄大さを感じました。
　ビジターセンターで小休止した後は、お待ちかねの山頂です。私たちは、約２０分くらいかけて山頂まで登りました。風がとても強く凍えるほどでしたが、そこから見た景色は言葉に表わせないほどのものでした（写真をごらんください）。
　また、日が落ちて、山頂からすこし下りた場所から見た星空、流れ星は、忘れることができません。

We were not lucky enough to spot a whale on our first attempt, although we were graced with the company of a large pod of Spinner Dolphins swimming very close to the ship.

Two days later, having taken advantage of the free raincheck ticket, we saw four adult Humpback Whales and a calf. There are no words to adequately describe the experience - just go and do it. The Star of Honolulu is crewed by very knowledgeable staff and the onboard facilities and entertainmen are first-rate.

Pacific Star All the Way!

Reviewed by: Breetala

I often come to Hawaii and have been on pretty much every dinner cruise on almost every island. The Star of Honolulu is a vessel that I often frequent when I am here in the islands since it has always provided my husband and I with a wonderful evening. The Pacific Star has become our new favorite with its initimate lounge setting, quiet atmosphere, delicious Pacific Rim cuisine and a chocolate fondue-like dessert that is to tasty for words. I personally do not like the loud and rowdy hula shows, so the Pacific Star is definitely my cruise of choice!

My friends and I have experienced the beautiful Star of Honolulu dinner cruise and it was the most memorable event ever. To begin the night was a graceful performance of the hula performers who greeted us aboard. We enjoyed songs of a live band and our favorite cocktails as we were seated to our table. The interior of the boat was elegantly decorated with special lighting and table settings, perfect for setting the mood of any occasion. As the large boat cruised smoothly through the waters of Oahu, my friends and I were able to capture beautiful photos together on the observation deck. With the sea surrounding us, we watched the beautiful sunset. Our dinner was immediately brought to our table with excellent service. We had an excellent steak and all you can eat crab dinner course.

I took my kids on the Star of Honolulu Hawaiian Cultural Cruise and we had a great time together and we were greeted with the warmest of Aloha. We were served our drinks as the boat departed and then the different activities began. My kids and I enjoyed making flower leis as we watched the other visitors learn how to dance the Hula. On the other end, there were ukulele lessons going on and behind us was a session of coconut leaf weaving. The crew members gathered us all together and we all went out on the deck to feed all these fishes that were swimming in large clumps near the boat.

Later, my kids and I were assisted by a very helpful server with our food at the buffet line. After we ate lunch, we enjoyed the beautiful panoramic scenery from the top deck of the Star and laid back on the lounge chairs enjoying the warmth of the sun. It was a great day and my kids loved it.

It was amazing! 最高～～でした♪

Reviewed by: koukou

This was my first time participating, and I was truly satisfied! The smoothness from application to participation was great, but the sunset from Haleakalā was beyond words... I was reminded that the Earth is round and that it is so beautiful.

This time, I participated with my 7-year-old child and my husband. My child seemed a bit tired and was in a bad mood, but later I heard that they secretly felt very moved and definitely want to go again! When we looked at the stars through the telescope, they were excited to see Saturn's rings, which sparked their interest in astronomy.

My husband, who usually doesn't praise people much, was surprisingly full of compliments for Yamapi during this trip. The homemade bento we had on the bus from Yamapi was also very warm and delicious!

Personally, I really liked the atmosphere of the shop we stopped by along the way; it had a great energy.

Haleakalā... It became a tour that I definitely want to experience again as it is such a sacred place.

今回初めての参加でしたが、
本当に大満足でした！！
申し込みから参加までのスムーズさももちろんですが、
ハレアカラからのサンセットは言葉で言い尽くせないほどの感動。。。
地球は丸いんだ。。地球はこんなにも美しいんだ。。。

Thank you for participating, KOUKOU!
There aren't many places where you can drive up to 3,000 meters, enjoy the sunset with your child, and make it a day trip. The real sparkle of the stars I saw as a child surely remains somewhere in my heart.
Also, the men will end up visiting a telescope shop after returning home, right? (laughs)
Let's meet again under the starry sky in Maui!

ＫＯＵＫＯＵさんご参加有難うございました！
３０００メートルまで車で行けて夕日を親子で楽しめて日帰り出来る所はあまり無いですよね、、。子供の頃に見た本物の星の輝きはきっと心のどこかに残ります。
それと男性軍は帰国後望遠鏡ショップに足を運ぶ事になるのですね。笑

It was great! Got to see the highlights of the island. Kenn (our tour guide) was funny, informative, lots of fun and made the whole trip very enjoyable. A must do if you want to see the most in one day! He obviously had studied Hawaiian history - gave us so many stories - took other tours on other islands and heard some of his stories from each tour guide but not as detailed nor all the stories that he had for us. Kept the group moving and on schedule but was not rude about it. Answered all our questions. The whole day was great! The price was very reasonable, especially when comparing to other tours that we took. For sure, Kenn was the best of all the guides that we had!

Polynesian Adventure Tours has very knowledgeable staff members. They share information freely during the tour, which is a great asset in learning more about Hawai'ian history and the volcanoes specifically.

The only problem my wife and I had was how much talking went on. While the information was welcome at times, it seemed the talking never stopped. For some this may be perfect, but it was a little overwhelming/annoying for us.

It was great to see several whales. However, they were too far away. I had high expectations of being able to see the whole whale. Also, the boat, despite being large, swayed quite a bit. The food was delicious, but eating while swaying was a bit challenging... We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but quite a few people looked like they were feeling unwell...

クジラが何頭も見れたのはよかったです。が、遠すぎました。クジラの全体像を見れると思うと期待し過ぎです。あと、船は大きい割にはそれなりに揺れます。食事はおいしかったのですが、揺れながら食べるのはちょっと、、、私たちは酔い止めをのんでいたので平気でしたが、結構な数の人が具合悪そうでした。。。
