Hawaii
Nice but noisy lots of children around.
I participated in the tour in the afternoon. It was my first time on a submarine, and I was very impressed to see so many fish.
The view of the ocean from underwater is completely different from what you see on the surface, and it's something you can only enjoy on a submarine! I went with friends, and we had a great time together.
午後からのツアーに参加しました。
潜水艦は初めてだったのですが、こんなにたくさんの魚がみれるなんてとても感動しました。
地上でみる海の景色とはまた違った景色で、潜水艦でしか楽しめません!
友達との参加で、わいわい盛り上がることができました。
Submarine tour! I was excited even before it started. It was a satisfying tour that was so easy to join in Kona, Hawaii. Scuba diving is great, but this felt like a good deal since we could visit various places in about an hour. Of course, the fish and coral reefs on the ocean floor were beautiful, and I was thrilled the entire time.
潜水艦ツアー!始まる前からわくわくしました。
ハワイ島のコナでこんなにお手軽に参加できて、満足できるツアーでした。
スキューバもいいですが、1時間くらいでいろんな場所を周れるのでお得な感じでした。
もちろん海底の魚やさんご礁はきれいで、ずっと興奮しっぱなしでした。
During my several visits to Hawaii, this was my first time participating in a submarine tour. I didn't expect to see so many coral reefs and marine life so clearly. Among the various tours and marine sports available in Hawaii, this was by far the most interesting. I wish I had realized it sooner! Next time, I want to bring my family and participate together.
何度かハワイに来たことのある中で、今回始めて潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。
さんご礁や海の生物がこんなにはっきりとたくさん見れるとは思ってませんでした。
ハワイで楽しめるいろいろなツアーやマリンスポーツの中でもだんとつに面白かったです。
もっと早く気づけばよかった!!
今度は家族を連れてきて、一緒に参加したいです。
This tour allows you to truly experience the beautiful ocean of Hawaii. I was especially moved by the many fish around the sunken ship.
Since it was a one-hour tour, it was easy to participate. My friends and I had a great time, and it became a wonderful memory.
I want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii.
ハワイのきれいな海をさらに実感できるツアーです。
特に沈没船の周りにたくさんの魚を見ることができ、とても感動しました。
1時間のツアーなので、手軽に参加できました。
友達ともとても盛り上がって、いい思い出になりました。
次回ハワイに行ったときは、また参加したいです。
The view of the ocean from the submarine was truly magical. I was moved when I saw the beautiful scenery, including coral reefs and schools of fish. It was reassuring to be able to listen to a Japanese guide through the headset, making it easy to participate.
While swimming in the ocean is nice, I was glad to have the experience of seeing the beautiful sea from deeper down. I think this is a must-do tour when visiting Hawaii.
潜水艦からみた海はとても幻想的でした。
とても美しい景色でさんご礁や魚の群れを見たときは感動しました。
ヘッドセットで日本語のガイドを聴くことができるので安心して参加できました。
海で泳ぐのもいいけれど、もっと深いところできれいな海を見る体験ができてよかったです。
ハワイにいったら欠かせないツアーだと思います。
The water was really clear, and I could see very well.
I became so engrossed that I forgot to look out the window and was able to enjoy the fish and coral reefs up close.
The crew was also interesting and kind, making it possible to enjoy the waters of Hawaii.
海の中がほんとにクリアで、とてもよく見ることができました。
途中から夢中になって、窓のぞんざいを忘れるぐらい間近で魚やさんご礁を鑑賞できました。
クルーの皆さんも面白く、親切でハワイの海を楽しむことができました。
It was a very enjoyable submarine tour! I was thrilled to see a pod of dolphins. I was able to observe marine life up close, just like scuba diving. The boarding point was close to Kona and very convenient from our hotel. I would love to participate again.
とても楽しい潜水艦ツアーでした!イルカの群れも見ることができ、とても興奮しました。
スキューバダイビングのように近くで海の生物を鑑賞できました。
乗り場はコナから近く、私達のホテルからもほんとに近くで便利でした。
また参加したいです。
It was an experience unlike any other! I was able to see a lot of fish, and the coral reef was very beautiful.
I also bought some photos. They are perfect for memories with my friends and bring back the emotions from that time.
I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea of Hawaii on this tour!
ほかでは味わえない体験でした!たくさんの魚を見ることができ、さんご礁はとてもきれいでした。
写真も買いました。友達との思い出にぴったりで、あのときの感動が蘇ります。
このツアーでハワイの美しい海を堪能できました!
It's a tour that the whole family can enjoy. I had a great time, and the kids seemed to be having a lot of fun as well. I'm glad I participated in this tour.
家族で楽しめるツアーです。私も楽しめましたし、子供達もとても楽しんでる様子でした。
このツアーに参加してよかったです。
This was the most wonderful tour of my trip! I was able to fully enjoy my two-week journey. I believe this tour is enjoyable for everyone, from children to older adults like us.
今回の旅行で一番すばらしいツアーでした!2週間の旅行を満喫することができました。
このツアーは子供から私達のようなお年寄りでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。
The sunset cruise we took was awesome. They have excelled my expectation on every aspects: the boat, crew, food, entertainment, etc. The cruise ended with the beautiful Hawaiian sunset over the vast Pacific Ocean. We even got to see a pod of dolphins as a bonus. I'll recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice all-around sunset cruise. Mahalo!
Was one of the best luaus we have ever attended. The only thing I would change is they did not have the dancers take pictures with guests after the show. Every other luau we have been to, has done this.
First, it was quite challenging to get on the bus to the port. The staff made a mistake with the passenger list, so we couldn't board right away. There were mostly Japanese people gathered, but there was someone who could speak English, which was helpful for conversation.
Since it was a one-star experience, my wife and I had our meal at a shared table, reminiscent of a school trip. The food was simple, but I wasn't concerned since I didn't have high expectations for the meal from the start. The waiter was the same person who made the mistake with the bus list. Overall, the service felt a bit casual, or you could say it had a homey atmosphere.
During the meal, a show and live performances started, but with the sunset, about half of the guests got up to take pictures outside or enjoy the view from the ship.
Since it was a large ship, it didn't sway much, which was nice.
As night fell, the Independence Day fireworks began. The ship docked right in front of the launch site. I had heard from locals that the fireworks were smaller compared to those in Japan, but perhaps because it was the 50th anniversary, they were quite satisfying.
In higher classes, there might be a dress code, allowing for a more relaxed dining experience while watching the fireworks.
On the way back, there was a tremendous traffic jam. It usually takes about ten minutes to get back to the Marriott Hotel, but it took over an hour. If you are in a group, it might be nice to walk back while enjoying the scenery.
まず、港までいくバスに乗るまでが大変でした。
スタッフのかたが乗車名簿を間違えてしまい、すぐに乗ることができませんでした。日本人ばかりで集まっていましたが、英語を話せる方がいたのでいろいろと話をしていただいて助かりました。
ワンスターだったので、まるで修学旅行のような、相席のテーブルで妻と食事をとりました。
食事はシンプルなものでしたが、最初から食事に関して期待していなかったため気になりませんでした。
担当ウェイターはバスの名簿を間違えた人でした。接客は全体的になぁなぁな感じで、よくいえばアットホームなとでも言えましょうか。
食事中にショーやライブが始まりましたが、サンセットも重なり半分くらいの人が席を立って外で写真撮影や船上からの景色を眺めたりしていました。
大きな船ということもあり、さほど揺れもきになりませんでした。
いよいよ夜になり、独立記念日の花火大会が始まりました。船は打ち上げ場所の目の前で停泊。花火は日本と比べて小規模だと現地の方から伺っていましたが、50周年記念ということもあってか、結構満足のいったものでした。
もっと上のクラスではドレスコードもあり、ゆったりとクルージングディナーをして座りながら花火を観ることができたのですかね。
帰りがものすごく渋滞して、マリオットホテルまで帰るのに普段10分くらいなのですが1時間以上かかりました。複数でいたら散歩しながら帰るのもいいかもしれません。
Thank you very much for participating in our Independence Day special cruise.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

この度は独立記念日のスペシャルクルーズにご参加いただき誠に有難うございました。
皆様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。

It was the best tour.
It was a shame that we couldn't see many stars due to the weather, but the sunset and Mr. Yamauchi's stories were fantastic.
When I returned to my room, there was champagne waiting for me.
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much.
最高のツアーでした。
天候の関係で星があまり見えなかったのが残念でしたがサンセットと山内さんのお話は最高でした。
部屋に帰ったらシャンパンが置いてありましたよ。
いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。
It's unfortunate that the weather was not good that day, and we couldn't show you a satisfactory starry sky. Next time, I would like to share stories about the mysteries of the universe while watching the stars. I will also share some insider tips for newlyweds on hotel stays. (laugh)
この日天候が優れず満足な星空がお見せ出来なかったのが残念です。
次回は星を見ながらはるか宇宙の神秘のお話をしたいと思います。
新婚さんのホテル宿泊裏技もまた伝授致します。笑
On July 2nd, The historical sunset cruise we took was fabulous right until the end but we were very disappointed that the captain elected to dock five minutes too soon. A fantastic sunset was in the making and if we had slowed down five minutes we would have been treated to a terrific sky. Everyone with a camera was out on deck with cameras ready, and we just pulled right in to dock watching the sun slip behind the island instead of over the water where it would have been had we stayed out five more minutes. I know for certain many others were unhappy with this handling of time. Why we had to dock so quickly is a mystery to me.
Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to experience the essence of Hawaii, so I chose a luau show.
I drove there with a rental car. The parking fee was only $5 after getting a stamp at the luau reception.
Before the show started, there were various experience corners like a coconut breaking demonstration, leaf crafting, and practicing with fire dance batons.
I even chatted with some Americans sitting next to me in broken English...
Ah, it was a moment when I really felt like I was in a foreign country! I felt like I was in Hawaii! ♪
ハワイに来たからには、ハワイらしさを感じたくてルアウショーを選びました。
レンタカーで現地まで行きました。駐車場はルアウ受付でハンコを押してもらって、5ドルですみました。
ショーが始まる前には、ココナッツの解体ショーみたいなのとか、葉っぱのクラフト作りとか、ファイアーダンスのバトンを回す練習とか色々体験コーナーなどもありました。
たまたま隣の席に座ったアメリカ人の方たちとも、カタコトな英語でお話したり・・・
あ~外国にきた!ハワイに来た!って思えた時間でした♪
I previously participated in the Haleakalā volcano sunrise and downhill tour twice, but this time I joined the sunset and stargazing tour with my family, as my younger child is still small. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations. (I'm sorry!) I never imagined it would become one of the top three memories of my life.
First of all, it was my first time on a tour with a Japanese guide, and Mr. Yamauchi's explanations were very easy to understand. I learned so much more and grew to love Maui even more, realizing how deep it is. The bento box was warm and truly delicious.
The sunset was, of course, moving, but the emotion I felt when I looked up at the starry sky... I was reminded that the Earth is surrounded by so many stars, and I realized for the first time how beautiful the universe is. It was a feeling that could only be experienced by seeing it with my own eyes, not through a planetarium or an encyclopedia. Tears just flowed without reason, and I couldn't stop crying even in the car on the way back.
This is a feeling that you can only experience by seeing it with your own eyes!!
私は以前2度ハレアカラ火山のサンライズ&ダウンヒルのツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、今回は家族連れで、下の子がまだ小さかったため、このサンセット&星空観測ツアーに参加しました。正直期待はしてませんでした。(スミマセン!)それがこんな人生で3本の指に入るような思い出になるとは思いもしませんでした。
まず、日本人の添乗員が付いたツアーも初めてだったのですが、山内さんの説明はとてもわかりやすく、より多くのことがわかり、マウイって奥が深いなぁ~とますます好きになりました。幕の内弁当もあったかくてほんとに美味しかったです。
サンセットももちろん感動でしたが、星空を見上げたときのあの感動・・・。地球はこんなにも多くの星に囲まれていることを思い知らされ、宇宙とはこんなにも美しいものだと初めて知りました。それはプラネタリウムでも、事典でもない肉眼で見ているからこその感動でした。訳もなくただただ涙が溢れてきて、帰りの車の中でも涙が止まりませんでした。
これは実際に自分の目で見なければ味わうことの出来ない感動です!!
When we spoke, you mentioned that you had climbed Haleakalā before, so I thought you would enjoy the different sunsets and stars each day. I believe you were able to see it close to the new moon, so the starry sky must have been magnificent. Surrounded by stars as far as the eye could see, you must have felt truly at peace. I look forward to the opportunity to reunite in Maui with your child as well.
お話を伺った時、ハレアカラには以前にも登ったことがあるとおしゃっていたので
クレーターもご覧になったことがあるし、
それでは毎日違う夕焼けと星で堪能して頂こうと思いました。
丁度新月に近い状態でご覧頂けたと思うので、満天の星空でしたよね。
見渡すところ全て星に囲まれて、きっと心から安らげたと思います。
是非またお子さんも一緒にマウイで再会出来ることを楽しみにしています。
Despite being over 3000 meters high, Yamauchi-san drives smoothly along a road without guardrails or streetlights. Since it's a national park, the focus is on the scenery. As expected of America. Apparently, if someone falls, it's the driver's fault.
From below, it looked cloudy, so I was worried, but once we broke through the rain clouds and emerged above the sea of clouds, it was like a different world. The sunset was beautiful too.
Although there were a few clouds, it wasn't a starry sky, but I was able to see the Milky Way for the first time in a while. I also saw the Southern Cross for the first time. A satellite even crossed our path.
It's a shame I didn't know about such a wonderful tour earlier; I would have loved to participate with my wife, who passed away two years ago. However, my sister, who joined this time, was very happy.
On the way back, we talked about ghost stories and listened to nostalgic songs by Takuro Yoshida and Yumi Matsutoya, and the time flew by. Thank you very much.
You can find the Kurihama Park website by searching for Kurihama Flower Kingdom.
3000mを超えているのに、ガードレールも街灯もない道を山内さんは、すいすいと運転していきます。国立公園なので、景観重視との事。さすがアメリカ。転落するのは、運転手が悪いそうです。
下界から見ると雲がかかっているので、心配していましたが、雨雲を抜け雲海の上に出ると、そこは別世界。
夕日も綺麗でした。
少々雲があったので、満天の星空とはなりませんでしたが、久しぶりに天の川を見ることが出来ました。また、初めて南十字星も見ることが出来ました。人工衛星も横切りました。
こんなすばらしいツアーをもっと前に知っていたら、一昨年亡くなった妻と一緒に参加したのに残念です。でも、今回参加した姉はとても喜んでくれました。
帰りは、肝試しの話や、吉田卓郎やユーミンなどの懐メロなども聞け、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。有難うございました。
久里浜の公園は、久里浜花の国で検索されればHPが見れます。
I hope you are doing well.
As we reminisce about old stories, the nostalgic hits in my iPod have started playing again. Haha.
For some reason, the starry sky suits the bittersweet songs of Yumi Matsutoya and Southern All Stars, doesn't it?
I definitely want to visit Kurihama Park someday!
その後お元気でしょうか?
昔話にハナが咲き、自分のIポットに入っている
懐メロ特集がまたかかってしまいました。笑
なぜか星空には切ないユーミン&サザンが似合いますよね。
是非いつか久里浜公園に遊びに行きます!
My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!
We are in our golden years, but we went to Maui for our honeymoon. It was my first time in 13 years, and for my husband, it was his first visit to Maui.
We debated whether to go for sunrise or sunset, but since we wanted to see the starry sky slowly from a mountain over 3,000 meters high, we chose sunset.
At 2:30 PM, we were picked up in front of our hotel (Ka'anapali). As we passed through the town of Lahaina, we were given recommendations for restaurants and galleries. After a tea time at Krispy Kreme, we headed to the town of Makawao. We strolled through unique galleries featuring paintings and glass creations, as well as shops selling cowboy products. We stopped by Kula Lodge and bought a lot of souvenirs like jam and coconut candy. There was a wide variety of jams, and we got to taste several of them. They also had tea and herbal products, creating a lovely, soothing atmosphere.
As we passed through a eucalyptus-scented forest, the scenery changed with the increasing altitude. While listening to stories about the flora and fauna of Haleakalā and the spirits, we arrived near the summit just before evening. We enjoyed a 360-degree view from the height of 3,055 meters until sunset. Through the telescope, we could see the Subaru Telescope on the Big Island's Kīlauea. The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was majestic, and the changes in the sky after sunset were beautiful as well. We were even able to see the Earth's shadow reflected in the sky.
After a restroom break and enjoying a warm Japanese bento, the stargazing began. Looking up at the night sky, it was filled with stars that twinkled quietly rather than sparkling. It made me realize just how many stars surround the Earth. I felt that this night sky was a special encounter made possible by being at such a high altitude. While watching the celestial planetarium, Yamauchi-san's explanations about stars and constellations were easy to understand, and I felt the mysteries of the universe.
It was probably lucky that it was just the two of us participating before Golden Week, but there were additional joys beyond Haleakalā, and Yamauchi-san's stories touched my heart. I didn't feel much cold thanks to my outfit of tights under my jeans and a hot pack around my waist.
熟年ですが・・新婚旅行をかねて、マウイ島に行きました。私は13年ぶり、夫は初マウイ。
サンライズか、サンセットかで迷いましたが、三千メートル級の山で、星空もゆっくりと観たかったので、サンセットにしました。
14時半に、ホテル前(カアナパリ)にお迎え。
ラハイナの街を通りながら、お勧めのレストランやギャラリーを教えていただきました。
クリスピードーナツのお店でティータイム後、マカワオの街へ。絵画やガラス創作の個性的ギャラリー、カウボーイ製品の店など散策しました。
クラロッジに立ち寄り、お土産のジャムやココナッツキャンディーをたくさん買いました。ジャムの種類は豊富で、いろいろ味見させていただき、紅茶やハーブ製品もあり・・癒される雰囲気が素敵でした。
ユーカリの爽やかな香りがする林を通り抜けて、高度が増すごとに、周囲の風景も変わってきます。ハレアカラの動植物や聖霊の話を聞きながら、夕刻前には頂上付近に到着しました。
サンセットまで、ハレアカラ高度3055mからの風景を360度眺めました。
望遠鏡からは、ハワイ島キラウエアのスバル展望台も。雲海に沈む夕陽は荘厳で、サンセット後の空雲の変化も美しいものでした。空に映る地球の影(アースシャドウ)も見ることができました。
トイレ休憩、温かい日本食弁当を食べた後、スターゲイジングの始まりです。
見上げた夜空は、キラキラ星というよりも、静かに瞬いている夜空いっぱいの星々でした。
地球の周りには、こんなにもいっぱいの星があるのですね。3千メートル級の高度だかこそ出遭えた夜空だと感じました。天体プラネタリウムを観ながらの、山内さんの星や星座のお話はわかりやすく、宇宙の神秘を感じました。
ゴールデンウィーク前で、夫婦二人の参加というのもラッキーだったのでしょうが・・ハレアカラ+αの楽しみがあり、山内さんのお話も心に染みました。
ジーンズ下にタイツ・腰にホッカイロの装備で、寒さはあまり感じませんでした。
How was it to return to Maui after 13 years?
This time, with some extra time on hand, we were able to explore at a leisurely pace.
At the Kula Lodge, there are many local specialties that you can't usually find in supermarkets, so I recommend them as souvenirs for food enthusiasts.
Please come back to Maui for the 00th anniversary!
13年ぶりにマウイに帰って来られて、如何でしたか?
時間の余裕も今回あったこともあって、のんびり回れましたよね。
クラロッジには普段スーパーでは売っていない、
地元の名産品が数多く揃えられているので、グルメ通にはお土産としてお勧めです。
また00周年記念でマウイにいらしゃって下さいね。
This was a very fun activity. The food and activities were great!
I decided to participate in this luau show because it is conveniently held in the center of Kailua-Kona. Check-in is at 5:00 PM, and there is also an ABC Store in the center of Kona, which is not uncommon in Oahu, so I included some shopping as well. I arrived early and watched what seemed to be a local student canoe team's practice before heading to the venue.
I have participated in luau shows several times in Waikiki, but what I think is great about this luau show is that it takes place in nature. It features Tahitian dance, Hawaiian hula, Fiji dance, Samoan dance, and fire dance—there's a little bit of everything. I believe it offers good cost performance as well.
このルアウショーはカイルアコナの中心地で開催されており便利だな~と思い参加しました。17:00にチェックインですが、ここコナの中心地にはオアフでは珍しくないABCストアもあり、買出し含め参加しました。早めに到着し、地元の学生?のカヌーチームの練習などを見た後、会場へ。
ルアウショーはワイキキで何度か参加しているのですが、このルアウショーのいいところは、自然の中で繰り広げらるところじゃないかと思います。タヒチアンダンス、ハワイアンフラ、フィジーダンスとサモアンなダンスそしてファイアーダンスなんでもござれです。コストパファーマンスも良いショーだと思います。
We had a great great time!!!
I would recommend this to everyone i know. It was all worth it. My partner and i enjoyed evey minute of it! The food was the bomb! We had 3 star which is a 5-course meal. i even took pictures of the food! Our server Rita was so nice, i always see her smiling and she was very attentive to us! It was so fun!
I will surely go back and this time i'm gonna bring my mom!
I used the service recently.
There was no staff interaction at all.
It felt like they just picked us up and that was it.
However, we did see whales, so it became a nice memory.
Thank you very much.
先日利用しました。
スタッフ対応は全く無しです。
お迎えに来て、乗せて終わりな感じでした。
鯨は見えましたので、いい記念になりました。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. If the staff who greeted you were local staff, they may have had difficulty communicating with customers as they do not speak much Japanese. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again.
スターオブホノルルです。この度はご乗船有難うございました。
お迎えに行ったスタッフが現地スタッフだった場合、日本語があまり話せない為、
なかなかお客様とのコミュニケーションがとりづらいようです。
またのご乗船お待ちしております。
About 15 minutes after departing on the cruise, we encountered a pod of dolphins! At the snorkeling spot, we were able to see many tropical fish and even a sea turtle.
There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, so everything was in English, but we managed just fine. There were only two groups of Japanese people, including us. The food was quite delicious as well.
For those who are not good swimmers, there are floats and life jackets available, so it's safe. There are also prescription snorkeling masks for those with poor eyesight, which made it comfortable.
On the return cruise, you might feel cold since your swimsuit will be wet. I recommend bringing a large towel or something to wear over it.
クルーズに出発して15分くらいで、すでにイルカの群れに遭遇!シュノーケルスポットでは、たくさんの熱帯魚の他、海亀まで見ることができました。
日本語が話せるスタッフはいないので、すべて英語でしたが、なんとかなりました。
日本人は私たちを含めて2組のみ。食事も結構美味しかったです。
泳ぎが苦手な人には、フロートやライフジャケットもあるので安心です。視力が悪い人のために、度付きのシュノーケルのマスクもあり、快適でした。
帰りのクルーズでは水着が濡れているので寒く感じると思います。大き目のタオルか、羽織るものを持っていくことをお勧めします。
This was a very nice dinner cruise. It wasn't too long and it delivered on a great sunset.
The food was delicious too. We did the 1 Star package which came with crab legs, steak and mashed potatoes. Everything was better than I had expected it to be. It came with a complimentary Mai Tai which was also very good.
The Hawaiian music was good and the dancers were a lot of fun. My hubby and I got a really nice photo from them too.
I would recommend this to any couple looking for a little romance on their trip to Hawaii.
A great experience -- to see whales, especially baby whales-- was an experience of a lifetime. Thanks for a great day at sea. The music was especially good; and I was able to make my own lei. Thanks for a great time.
Had a wonderful experience! Would do again!
This was our first time in Maui. It was a bit nerve-wracking since it was our first overseas trip with our 3-year-old child! I was wondering if the "Haleakalā Star Tour" would be suitable for kids, but since it was our special trip to Maui, we really wanted to see the beautiful sunset and starry sky, so we decided to participate!
On the day of the tour, my daughter was so happy with the very kind Mr. Yamauchi! During the drive, when Mr. Yamauchi mentioned, "Sometimes you can see whales around here," my daughter kept asking, "Whales? Whales?" Then Mr. Yamauchi stopped at a spot where we might see whales and helped us look through the binoculars! I was truly moved by Mr. Yamauchi's thoughtfulness!!!
With that kind of experience, we were able to enjoy the wonderful sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā while feeling Mr. Yamauchi's interesting talk and kindness from start to finish. Our first trip to Maui became a very special memory! Thank you so much!
私たちは今回初めてのマウイでした。
3歳になる子供を連れての初めての海外旅行だったのでちょっとドキドキでした!
「ハレアカラの星ツアー」も子供連れで大丈夫かなぁと思いながらも私たちがせっかくのマウイなのでぜひきれいなサンセット&星空を見てみたいと思って参加しました!
当日!とっても優しい山内さんに娘もうれしそうでした!
ドライブ途中に山内さんが「このへんではクジラが見えるときがあるんです。」の一言に「クジラは?クジラは?」とずっと聞き続けていた娘。
すると山内さんは途中で止まってクジラが見えそうなところに双眼鏡を合わせてくれました!本当に山内さんのお気遣いに涙しそうでした!!!
そんな感じで最初から最後まで山内さんのおもしろトークと優しさをひしひしと感じながらハレアカラの素晴らしいサンセット&星空を見ることができて初マウイはとてもいい思い出になりました!本当にありがとうございました!
Thank you for your hard work the other day.
The whales that children see for the first time are incredibly large fish compared to what adults perceive.
I am grateful to parents who encourage their children to experience the starry sky and nature when they are small.
Please come back to Maui to play with your child again! I look forward to it.
先日はお疲れ様でした。
子供が始めてみる鯨は大人が感じるものより
とてつもなく大きなお魚なのですよね。
小さいときに星空とか自然に触れる事を薦めるご両親に感謝です。
またお子さんと一緒にマウイに遊びに来てくださいね!
楽しみにしています。
