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＞

The sunset and starry sky were wonderful! ♪ 夕陽も星空も素敵でした♪

Reviewed by: るな

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。

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＞

Stop by while exploring Kona. コナ散策のついでに寄ってみる

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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。

I was able to meet a sea turtle! 海亀に会えました！

Reviewed by: うーた

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。

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.

Reviewed by: もあなママ！

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!

【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＞

Exciting エキサイティング

Reviewed by: リンク

I participated with lunch and transportation included. The lunch was okay. For the transportation, I realized it’s better to speak up when you see a bus that looks like it belongs to the tour, rather than just waiting at the pickup spot. This applies not only to this tour but also to others.

It seemed fine to be picked up at the hotel and to stay at Aloha Tower on the way back (since the number of people going and returning was different).

Now, there were quite a few people on board, and I thought we probably wouldn’t see any whales. So, I was in a complete state of giving up, just looking at the sea while saying, “I heard they give you a ticket to ride again.”

Then, my child started to fuss about being hungry, and while I was asking, “Do you want to eat?” there was an announcement on the boat saying, “There’s a whale at 2 o'clock.”

Suddenly, the boat was buzzing with excitement, and everyone was thrilled when they saw the whale's tail! We were able to see the tail multiple times, but since it’s a wild animal, it was at the whale's pace. We kept looking at the sea, and it was like, “Oh, it just spouted! I saw the tail!”

I was wondering, “Aren’t whales usually in groups?” and then we spotted another whale at 9 o'clock!

It was quite exciting! It was more thrilling than when we went to see dolphins. The dolphins were cute, but the whales gave a sense of the grandeur of nature, which was incredibly moving. It felt like discovering Mount Fuji??? Maybe because you can’t see them in aquariums?

On the boat, there were various activities like hula and ukulele lessons, and making leis, which were fun. It was a moment that everyone from children to the elderly could enjoy.

However, coffee, tea, and fruit punch were free, while other soft drinks and alcohol were at an additional charge... I thought it would have been nice if at least one drink was free.

Also, they take the promised photo when boarding. It’s a nice keepsake, so we always buy it, but the boarding process takes quite a while for the group to gather, so be prepared to wait patiently.

ランチ・送迎付きでの参加です。
ランチはまあまあ。送迎は、ピックアップ場所で待ってるだけよりは、それらしいバスを見かけたら自分から声をかけた方がいいなと実感しました。これは、このツアーだけでなく、他のツアーに参加するときもそうです。

ホテルで拾ってもらって、帰りはアロハタワーに残る事もＯＫのようでした。（行きと帰りの人数が違っていたので）

さて、乗船人数はかなり多かったですが、私たちはクジラはもう見れないかなーと思っての参加でした。
だから「再度乗れるよっていう券、くれるらしいよ~」なんて言って完全諦めモードで海を眺めてました。

そのうち、子供がおなかがすいたとぐずりだしたので「食べる？」なんて言ってたら、「クジラが２時の方向に居る」との船内放送がありました。

そうしたら、船内がザワザワというかキャー！というか、もうみんな浮き足立って
クジラのシッポが見えると　大歓声！
何度もシッポを見る事はできましたが、やはりそれは自然の生き物なのでクジラのペースです。
ずーっと海を見ていて　「あ、今、潮吹いた！シッポが見えた！」という感じでした。

「クジラって群れで居ないのかなー」って言ってたら、今度は９時の方向でもクジラが！

かなりエキサイティングでしたよー。
ドルフィンを見に行った時よりも盛り上がりました。
ドルフィンは「かわいい！」って感じでしたが、ホエールはなんか大自然の雄大さを感じるというか感激度もすごかったです。富士山を発見した時のような感じ？？？水族館などでも見れないという事からですかね？


船内では、フラ、ウクレレのレッスン・レイを作るなど様々な催しがあり、楽しかったです。
子供からお年寄りまでたのしめたひと時でした。

ただ、コーヒー、紅茶、フルーツパンチは無料。それ以外のソフトドリンクとアルコールが別料金だったので・・・・
どうせなら１杯は無料とかだと良かったのにな~と思いました。

あと、乗船の時に　お約束の写真を撮ります。
記念になるので我が家では絶対に買うのですが、撮影で乗船時にかなりもたつきます。グループで全員揃って、気長に待ってね。という感じです。

Full of Hawaiian mood. ハワイアン・ムード満点

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

If you're traveling to Hawaii, I think you should definitely experience this at least once. While water sports and shopping can be done in other places, shows like this are unique to Hawaii. Not only was there a language barrier, but all the procedures and arrangements were tailored for Americans, yet I still enjoyed it. I was satisfied with both the food and the show. It would have been nice if the leis and photos were included in the participation fee instead of having to pay for them on the spot, as I wanted to feel like I was receiving a gift.

ハワイに旅行に来たなら、一度は体験するといいと思います。ウォータースポーツや買い物は他の場所でもできますが、こういうショーはハワイ独特のものなので。言葉の問題だけでなく、すべての手続きやしきりがアメリカ人向けにできていましたが、楽しめました。お料理もショーも満足しました。価格を上げてもいいから、レイや写真はその場でお金を出して買うのでなく、参加費に含まれているとよかったです。プレゼントされる気分を味わいたかったので。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Great Cruise

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was our second time to Oahu and our second sunset cruise. The first time was with Navatek and that was a nice cruise but we felt that one was overcrowded (we upgraded our cruise on both trips). The cruise on the Star of Honolulu was much more expensive than our upgraded Navatek cruise so we were looking for a much improved experience.

The Star of Honolulu cruise was VERY personal as there were very few people who upgraded to the upper deck package. Matt and Captain Roy were extremely attentive and a pleasure to be around.

Unfortunately it was very overcast and the ocean choppy for our voyage but the dining experience was first class. The jazz show was phenomenal as well.

The coach ride felt like herding cattle, and at the price of our ticket I would expect a more personal form of transportation (I realize a personal car required an additional upgrade, but would have expected something more intimate than a full sized tour bus). There was little to no information given

We boarded the afternoon cruise and checked in at the pier office, which was easy to find in front of the ship. Onboard, there was a generous service of drinks, fruits, and snacks (though I wished the drinks had a bit more creativity). The deck was spacious, mainly filled with international guests, and we encountered whales (after departing, we saw wild dolphins and captured six photos of a humpback whale's tail). The staff's instructions, even in English, were entertaining and easy to understand. They were very attentive to the guests and engaged with us multiple times, making it a fun half-day experience.

午後発のクルーズに乗船、桟橋オフィス（乗船する船の前受付が分かりやすい）チェックイン、船上ではドリンク、フルーツ、スナックサービス（ドリンクの味にひと工夫がほしい）は豊富にありました、甲板も広く外国の人が主ですがクジラ遭遇（出港すると野生イルカに遭遇、ザトウクジラの尾尾を６回写真に収める）による前後左右のスタッフの指示が英語であっても面白おかしく分かり易かった、スタッフは客の対応も熱心で私たちにもなんべんも話しかけてくれた楽しい半日でした。

Once again this year, I had a wonderful time. At first, I heard the conditions were perfect, but unfortunately, I couldn't encounter them! In the evening, I was able to enjoy a cruise off the coast of Honolulu on the famous "Star of Honolulu," which included warm coffee. However, since I had a re-boarding coupon, I decided to give it another try the day before my return! I'm glad I did.

Seeing the whales swimming happily together was truly moving. When the ship was about to leave after the promised 30 minutes, the whales came close to the ship as if to say goodbye.

There were also ukulele performances and cultural activities, but I completely forgot about those and just enjoyed the experience.

I definitely recommend participating. After disembarking, you can climb the adjacent "Aloha Tower" for free, where you can enjoy a stunning view. (There’s also an old-fashioned elevator!)

昨年に続き、今年も楽しませていただきました。
最初は、絶好の条件！とのことでしたが残念ながら

Unique Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was a unique experience for me because I have never been on any sort of cruise ship before. Although the waves were a little choppy, overall I had a great time. The food is great (one star), service is good, and the atmosphere is satisfying. Just a little advice for all the couples out there who want a special "one-on-one" type of evening, spend the extra money to get a table for two. If not, you may end up sharing a table with another couple. I lucked out and the couple that was supposed to show, didn't. This is also a type of outing that is geared more towards tourists. So this may not be so entertaining for many of the locals. It also does get a little chilly, so bring some sort of jacket (for the men), or a jacket/shawl (for women). Overall, I enjoyed the quality and experience this activity had to offer. I would definitely do it again sometime.

The food was quite delicious as well. However, while the adults were fine, the children took motion sickness medication, but two out of three of them got seasick. In the latter part of the cruise, they served ginger juice, which helped a bit, but I think it would have been better if it had been offered a little earlier.

I didn't have high expectations for the food, but the warm drinks (self-service with free drinks) and the meals were warm and delicious. Besides seeing whales, there were activities like lei-making, ukulele classes, and hula lessons, so even if we didn't see any whales, we could still enjoy the cruising and activities. During our trip, it seemed like we encountered a mother and calf whale, and they were frequently surfacing for air. (Unfortunately, we didn't get a clear view of their heads or tails...) However, most of the explanations were in English, and sometimes the Japanese announcements were delayed or omitted. Still, the staff was cheerful and bright, shouting "Whale!" Overall, you can enjoy the cruising experience by itself.

食べ物は余り期待していなかったのですが、
温かい飲み物（セルフサービスはフリードリンク）で
食事も温かく美味しかったです。
鯨を見ることもさることながら、アクティビティとして
レイ作りやウクレレ教室・フラレッスンもあり
万が一鯨が見られなくてもクルージングとアクティビティで
楽しめるようになっていました。
私たちが参加した回は親子の鯨だったみたいで
頻回に呼吸をしていました。
（残念ながら頭や尾をはっきりくっきり観る事は無かったですが・・・・）
ただ殆どの説明が英語で日本語の案内が遅くなる事や日本語の説明が抜ける事もしばしば・・・
それでもスタッフが陽気で明るく「くじらぁ~」と叫んでくれます。
総合的にみてクルージングだけでも楽しめます。

No whales but what a ride!

The waves were high. The water was choppy and we LOVED it! No whales but it was so pretty we didn't mind. The rain check is nice. The food was good and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

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＞

luau show ルアウショー

We participated as a family.
Since it was held at the hotel where we stayed, it was very convenient to gather and return to our rooms afterward.

Before the meal, there were various interactive events (like making fish out of leaves and watching coconut cracking), which were fun.

We also enjoyed a variety of dances, including hula, Tahitian dance, and fire dance, which was great.

The meal was a buffet, but at first, each table went to get food, so it proceeded smoothly even with a large number of people.

I’m glad everyone in the family was satisfied. Thank you very much.

家族で参加しました。
宿泊ホテルでの開催でしたので、集合も、終わってから部屋へ戻るのもとても便利でした。

食事の前にあちこちで参加型のイベント（葉っぱで魚を作ったり、ココナツの実を割るのを見たり）があり楽しい。

フラや、タヒチアンダンスやファイアーダンス等等、色々な種類のダンスも楽しめ、とてもよかったです。

食事は…ブッフェですが最初だけテーブルごとに取りに行くので、多人数でも混乱なく進みました。

家族みんな満足してよかったです。
ありがとうございました。
