Loved it!

Reviewed by: Kecia, 2024/09/24

Absolutely the best time ever!
Loved going super fast down the coast and then an hour to snorkel. Had a school of fish come right up to us and the water was super clear and warm.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Our Driver was 95 out of 100

Reviewed by: OSAMU M., 2024/09/23

It was our 2nd time at the summit after 14 years with your company and we were more concerned about the summit weather due to last time it was so windy and cold to stay outside of the car.

But, the weather this time thanks to god it was good to watch the sunset.

Our driver was so nice was caring, professional skill of guiding and a gentleman.

He was caring everyone.
This made our trip OUTSTANDING.

I would recommend this trip to anyone eligible it is good tour with a Mercedes 4WD van with 14 passengers.

マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー <午後/天体望遠鏡/夕食付/英語ガイド> by ハワイフォレスト&トレイル

天候が悪く、マウナケア山頂での日の入りは見られませんでした

Reviewed by: けほや, 2024/09/15

ハワイ本島での現地ツアーです。元々の予定は、車で山頂(4200メートル)に登り日の入りを見学、その後別の場所で夜空で星を観察というものでした。

ところが、途中のビジターセンター(2800メートル)で辺りが雲に覆われて道路が閉鎖され、山頂に行けませんでした。マウナケア山頂は雲の上にあり天候リスクが少ないと聞いていましたが、途中の道が閉鎖されるリスクを認識しました。

その後、少し下った広場(1800メートル)で夜空の星を観察出来ました。土星も見え、星空は素晴らしかったです。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide

Unforgettable experience

Reviewed by: David D, 2024/09/11

Todd, our guide, was great. Great driving up the steep dirt road. Great info about the geology, topography, observatories, constellations and more. Engaging, informative. All the other details too - nice sandwich, hot beverage and clothing for the cold. Did I forget to mention the views? Fantastic views of the sun setting into the Pacific and a clear night sky.

God’s amazing creativity seen through volcanic activity and celestial bodies. Truly an experience you won’t forget. Maka was the best. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Be forewarned that if you have altitude problems, you may fell icky at the summit. Take it slowly. You’ll fell better when you descend.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Exceeded our wildest expectations

Reviewed by: Martin, 2024/08/26

I'm embarrassed to say that I balked a little at first at the cost of this tour. Let me tell you, 15 minutes into the tour it felt like a total bargain.

The van was super comfortable and clean. We were running a little late and the tour guide called us to make sure we were going to make it. He was kind and understanding.

Our guide's make was Kea. He was the best guide of any tour I've taken in thirty years. So much local knowledge, and very generous with his experience and expertise. He made everyone on the trip feel like an individual. Also, he's hilarious.

The stargazing was simply mind blowing. It was like looking into deep space for nearly two hours. We lost count is the shooting stars after 15.

Kea was also very knowledgeable about the stars and the telescope we used was amazing. We saw nebulas, globular clusters, binary stars, and more.

After a long day, full bellies, and stargazing it was a real relief to have someone else driving us down the dark mountain.

I'll wrap things up by thanking our guide one more time. The quality of this tour really felt like it came from the quality of the person who shared his knowledge with us.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

ケアラケクア湾シュノーケル

Reviewed by: イトーさん, 2024/08/25

スタッフが全て英語会話なので、英語のヒアリング力が必要な気がする。それもまたハワイ島に来た感じがしてオッケーな気もする。
シュノーケルポイントは確かに綺麗だが、
もっと透き通る綺麗さかと思っていたが、そうでもなかった。が、初めてのシュノーケルなら満足すると思う。もしかすると前日に雨が降った為、海が荒れていたのかも知らない。晴れの日が続くと海の綺麗さ増す気がする。
シュノーケルをする時間はたっぷりあり、子連れはかなり楽しめます。浮き輪なども充実しており、子供も溺れることなく、シュノーケルに集中出来るので安心。
スタッフのサービスは完璧。チップを渡したくなる対応だった。
船の食事は健康的な食材で、安心して食べれた。
船酔いはしにくい運航だった。

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>

車椅子でも乗れる船でシュノーケリングツアー♪

Reviewed by: Lei, 2024/08/24

車椅子の夫と小学5年生、2年生の息子たちと参加しました。
申し込みの決め手は車椅子のまま乗り込むことができる大型の船、ということでした。
私自身は学生時代ダイビング三昧だったので、船に乗って行けるポイントでのシュノーケリングやイルカウォッチングは子供たちにも体験してほしいことでしたが、車椅子にはなかなかハードルが高く。。今回このような形で行けてとても嬉しかったです。
ただ、集合時間が朝早く、Waikoloaから運転して行くため6時台にはホテルを出なければならず、息子たちは終始眠そうだったのが残念ポイント。。
それでも、貸していただけたシュノーケル&マスクとフィンが快適で、初めてのオープンウォーターでのシュノーケリングであったにも関わらず全然怖がらず、二人ともとても楽しんでいました。ヌードルという、細長~い浮き具もお気に入りでした。(今回夫は体調もさほど優れずシュノーケリングはしなかったため、やりたいと言えばサポートしてくれたのかどうかは不明です)
子供たちはライフベストを着用、私はこのヌードルだけでしたが、充分浮いていられました。ポイントのお魚は、正直沖縄などよりは種類も少なかったですが、子供たちの初めての体験としてはよかったと思います。
行き帰りにイルカも見られました!
行きに朝食(何種類かのパンと果物やヨーグルトなど)を食べて、シュノーケリングの時間中好きな時に上がって来て昼食のハンバーガーを食べる、という感じでした。昼食で出たタロイモチップスが子供たちのお気に入りでした。
帰りは大物(イルカ、クジラ、マンタなど?)を見つけるために、行きより海岸から離れての長めのクルーズでした。残念ながら遭遇はできませんでしたが、この時間に配ってくれたクッキーが美味しくて、次男はおかわりしていました。笑
半日のツアーでしたが、とても楽しい思い出になりました!
欲を言えば、集合時間遅めのランチだけのツアーがよいかな、と思いました。
ちなみに私と子供たちは酔い止めを飲んで行ったせいか船酔いはしませんでした。夫は少し気分が悪そうでしたので、普段酔わない方も念のため酔い止めをお勧めします!

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

目の前をマンタが泳ぐのが見えた。

Reviewed by: RygerSeven, 2024/08/22

夕方六時十五分。ハーバーに集合。トイレは近くの公衆トイレのみ。きれいではない。乗船して近くのポイントに行く。船の中でブリーフィングをするが、英語が分からなくても何とかなると思う。十五分ほどの移動でポイントにつく。マスクとシュノーケルは貸してくれるが、度付きではないので、視力が悪い人は自分のマスクを用意することをお勧めする。船の後部から海に降りる。一メートルほどの長さの浮き具をもって水上に固定してある金属製のバーまで泳ぐ。そこで浮き具を足の甲において、両手は金属製のバーを持ち水面に平行になるように浮く。下を眺めるとライトが下方向に照らしているのが分かる。しばらくするとマンタが下から海面に向かって泳いでくる。こちらに向かってくるような感じがして迫力がある。ただひとによっては暗い中でマンタがやってくるので恐怖を感じるかもしれない。小さい子供だと怖がるかもしれない。この体制を一時間ほどする。私は最初の二十分で十分と感じた。残りの四十分は結構長く感じた。一時間ほど海面に浮いてから船に戻り、船の中でトイレを済ませて、飲み物を飲んでから下船した。下船したのは八時過ぎだとおもう。ここからワイコロアまで一時間ほどかかって帰るので、ワイコロアに戻るのは十時前になり、運転手は結構疲れると思う。それでも迫力のあるマンタには満足した。

日本人で英語が話せなくても何とかなります

Reviewed by: ししまる, 2024/08/19

アジア系の参加者は、私達だけでした。

事前に参加についてのサインを求めるメールが来るので、参加者全員分を書きましょう。
2人で参加しましたが、1人分書き忘れてしまったため、当日書くことになりました。

また、集合場所では、別のツアーも同時に集まっているようなので、間違いないか確認した方が無難です。(最初、人が集まっているところに行き、名前が呼ばれなかったので確認したところ、別のツアーでした)

英語は、話せなくても大丈夫でした。
早くて何言っているかほとんど聞き取れませんでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが明るく、優しいので、何とかなります。

日焼け止めは船内にあるので、最悪忘れても大丈夫です。
朝食はあまり期待しない方が良いでしょう。
クッキーはとても美味しかったです。

サービスは良かったですが、海が思ったより綺麗ではなかったので、星4です。

Mauna Kea Summit Stargazing tour

Reviewed by: Jana, 2024/08/19

Wow! What an amazing experience. We were so glad we took this tour instead of attempting this ourselves. It was beyond our wildest dreams, like leaving earth and visiting Mars. Just incredible. Our tour guide, Arthur, was extremely knowledgeable. We all learned a tin from him through the tour. I highly recommend him.
The food was from a local restaurant and was delicious. The bus was comfortable and I would not have wanted to drive to the summit in a rental car. That alone was worth the rate.
Also, Parkas and gloves were provided and they were super nice and warm. This tour was by far thi highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Do not hesitate. The experience is incredible and better than we could have possibly imagined. Not to be missed. And...it's cheap when you consider the quality I'd the experience. We LOVED it.

Scheduled this event as a large group visiting HI for the first time. We all had a blast. The boat ride to the snorkeling locations was fun. We saw a lot of fish and a few sea turtles.
