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

My first trip to Hawaii was great, Mauna Kea. 初ハワイ、行ってよかった、マウナケア(五七五)

My first time at 4,000 meters.
I was moved by the sunset.
I was moved by the opposite side of the sunset.
I was moved by the starry sky.

I was fine health-wise, but it was really cold.
- Ski wear (top and bottom)
- Knit hat
- Gloves
They provide the above three items.
Additionally, I wore a Uniqlo down jacket.
Of course, I also had sneakers and thick socks on.

Thank you for your wonderful post with a lovely title. We are thrilled to hear that you were moved by your experience. As the Samurai from Okayama mentioned, it is indeed very cold at the summit. For those planning to join the tour to Mauna Kea, please be sure to prepare warm clothing.

We sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island. Thank you.

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

The best! ♪ 最高♪

Reviewed by: YUMIKO

On the day of the trip, the sky over Kealakekua Bay was cloudy, but the water temperature was not as cold as I expected, and I was lucky to swim in the clear sea with a large turtle, which made me very satisfied♪

Along the way, I also saw dolphins three times, which was exciting! They were doing spin jumps and were so cute.

The staff spoke English, but they were friendly and kind. I also received an instruction manual in Japanese.

Overall, ocean rafting was amazing♪

Even though we are in our 40s and 50s, we had a great time♪

You might want to bring motion sickness medication.

After snorkeling, as the reviews mentioned, my body got really cold, and I had to give up on the second snorkeling session. On the way back, the wind felt chilly, so I recommend that women wear a thick hoodie or windbreaker, or even layer up.

During rafting, the sun was strong, and the wind hit my eyes, so wearing sunglasses was definitely the right choice.

On the way back, the waves got particularly high, and the boat bounced quite a bit. It was fun in its own way, but it might be tough for those with back issues (this was also mentioned in the Japanese instruction manual).

We drove from the Marriott Hotel, and it was easy to find; it took less than 30 minutes.

This is a tour I highly recommend and would like to use again.

I will definitely use it next time.



当日、ケアラケクア湾方面は曇り空でしたが 水温は想像より冷たくなく、透明度の良い海でラッキーな事に、大きな亀とも一緒に泳げて満足でした♪ 

途中、イルカも3度見れてテンション↑スピンジャンプしたり可愛いかったです。

スタッフは英語ですが、愛想も良く優しかったです。日本語の説明書ももらえます。

とにかくオーシャンラフティング最高♪

40~50代の私達ですが、大盛り上がりでした♪

酔い止め薬は必須かも。

シュノーケル後、口コミどうり体が冷え切り、寒くて2回目のシュノーケルは断念。帰りは風が冷たく感じるので、女子は厚手のパーカーかウインドブレーカーを1枚と言わず重ね着をお薦めします。

ラフティング中、日差しが強く目にも風が強く当たるのでサングラスをかけてて正解でした。

帰りは特に波が高くなり、かなりボートが跳ねます。それはそれで楽しかったので最高でしたが、腰の悪い方は確かに キツイかも・・・(日本語の説明書にも記載してありましたが)

マリオットホテルからレンタカーで行きましたが、解りやすく30分も掛かりません。

また利用したいお薦めのツアーです。

次回、また利用します。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

Fun snorkeling even for beginners. 初めてでも楽しいシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: MISO

At 60 years old, my spouse and I participated. It was our first time snorkeling, and I was worried about our age, but we signed up after being encouraged by comments from those with experience. We were the only Japanese participants, but the staff and other participants were kind, so we managed even without understanding English.

We received a Japanese instruction manual in advance for the history and location, as well as how to use the snorkel and goggles, but we left without having time to read it. The snorkeling experience was sufficient with just a brief lesson from the instructor. Apparently, Kealakekua Bay is the best snorkeling spot on the Big Island, and there were so many types of fish and coral that we could have watched them forever. I was surprised by the size of the purple sea urchins and the black sea urchins. We were also able to see dolphins perfectly. The rafting on the military rubber boat was thrilling, and I was very satisfied. We made wonderful memories.

However, you really need to be careful about sunburn. Once you get on the rubber boat, you can't let go of the ropes, so it's essential to apply sunscreen all over your body before boarding. I forgot to apply it on the underside of my feet and ended up with a bad sunburn on my unprotected calves. I brought a cream-type sunscreen from Japan, but all the foreign participants were using spray sunscreen. There are super strong sprays with SPF 100 available, so I recommend buying sunscreen locally. It's a good idea to read the instructions, consider the time needed to apply sunscreen perfectly, and check in early. I would like to participate again when I come to the Big Island.

60歳、夫婦で参加しました。シュノーケリングは初めてだし年齢的にも心配しましたが、参加経験者のコメントに後押しされ申込しました。日本人は我々2人だけでしたが、スタッフも他の参加者の方々も親切にしてくれたので、英語はわからなくても何とかなりました。

歴史や場所について、シュノーケルやメガネの使い方は、日本語の説明書を事前にくれましたが、読む間もなく出発。シュノーケリングは、インストラクターのワンポイントレッスンだけでも十分でした。アラケクア湾はハワイ島で一番のシュノーケリングポイントらしいですが、魚も珊瑚も種類が多く、いつまで見ていても飽きません。ムラサキウニやバフンウニが大きいことにびっくり。イルカもバッチリ見ることができました。軍用ゴムボートでのラフティングもスリルがあり、大満足。楽しい思い出ができました。

しかし、日焼けには本当に注意が必要です。ゴムボートに乗ってからは、ロープから手を離せなくなるので、乗船前に日焼け止めを全身に塗ることが必須です。私は、足の裏側に塗り忘れ失敗しました。シュノーケリング中に、無防備だったふくらはぎがひどく日焼けしてしまいました。私の日焼け止めは日本から持参したクリームタイプですが、外国の参加者は皆さんスプレー式の日焼け止めを使っていました。SPF100という超強力スプレーもあるので、日焼け止めは現地で買うのがお薦めです。説明書を読み、日焼け止めを完璧に塗る時間を考え、早めにチェックインするのが良いですね。また、ハワイ島に来たら参加したいと思います。

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

It became my best memory of the trip to Hawaii! ハワイ旅行一番の思い出になりました!

Reviewed by: 4人で参加

I wanted to show my 10-year-old daughter dolphins on the Big Island, so we joined this optional tour. We tried three times and encountered large groups of dolphins each time.

It was my first time snorkeling, but with the support of Daisuke and Yuko, I was able to challenge myself with confidence. We kept encountering groups of dolphins, and I was constantly amazed by the wild dolphins I was seeing for the first time. I became quite exhausted after the second round, and I apologize to the M family who joined us. (I'm sorry, M family...)

Honestly, I didn't expect to see so many dolphins, so I was truly moved! As a bonus, we were lucky enough to see whales before encountering the dolphins, making it a lucky day.

I chose this optional tour based on other people's experiences, and it was definitely the right choice! Daisuke's love for dolphins is really passionate and impressive.

Lastly, thank you to Taka for being a conversation partner for my mother. She didn't go snorkeling, but she said she could see a lot from the boat and had a great time.

Thank you so much!

ハワイ島で10歳の娘にイルカを見せてあげたいと思い、このオプショナルツアーに参加しました。3回トライして、3回とも沢山のイルカの群れに出会うことができました。
シュノーケリング初めてでしたが、ダイスケさん、ユウコさんのサポートで安心してチャレンジできました。次から次へとイルカの群れに遭遇し、初めて見る野生のイルカたちに感動しっぱなしでした。私は2回目終了後グロッキーになってしまい、一緒に参加していたMさん一家にはご迷惑おかけしました。(Mさん一家、すみません…)
正直こんなに沢山のイルカに出会えるとは思ってなかったので、ほんとに感動しました!
おまけに、イルカに遭遇する前にクジラの姿も見ることができて、ラッキーな一日でした。
他の方の体験談を参考にこのオプショナルツアーを選びましたが、大正解でした!ダイスケさんのイルカ愛、ほんとにアツくて、凄いです。
最後にタカさん、母の話し相手役、ありがとうございました。母は潜らなかったのですが、船上からでも沢山見えたようで、楽しかったと言ってました。
本当にありがとうございました。

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

No manta rays appeared. マンタ現れず

Reviewed by: kazuchann

The Japanese guide spoke brokenly and had difficulty communicating. The participants were just my spouse and another young woman who seemed to speak English well, so there didn't seem to be any issues there. However, even though we were in Hawaii, it wasn't warm after the sun set, and the manta rays didn't appear. We had to float in the water for a long time waiting, and the only item to warm our chilled bodies was a single blanket. There seemed to be hot cocoa available if you didn't get seasick, but I felt nauseous and couldn't accept it. I was invited to join again the next day for free since I couldn't see anything, but I declined. To be honest, I wanted a refund for the participation fee. I felt unwell throughout the trip and couldn't enjoy my meals, and planning the manta night at the beginning of the trip was a mistake. As a professional, they should have considered the sea conditions and the needs of older guests better. The guide was overly excited and it became awkward.

日本語ガイドは片言で会話も不自由、参加者は私たち夫婦ともう一人若い女性でその方は英語が話せるようで問題なさそうでしたが、うねりがあってハワイといっても日が沈むと暖かくはなくマンタが現れないので、海の中に長い時間漂って待、冷えきった身体を温めるアイテムもブランケット一枚。船酔いでなければホットココアがあったようですが、吐き気がして受け付けません。見る事ができなかったので翌日無料で参加できますと誘われたけど、断ってきました。はっきりって参加費返してもらいたいくらいでした。旅行中ずっとグワイが悪くて、食事も美味しく食べる事ができず旅行の最初にマンタナイトを計画したのが間違いでした。プロなんだから海の状況でマンタが現れないとか、高年齢のお客への配慮が足りない。ガイドだけが勝手にキャキャハイテンションでしらけてしまった。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry that you were unable to have a satisfying experience despite choosing our service.

Regarding the tour you participated in, we hope you understand that the appearance rate of manta rays can vary depending on the conditions of the day. If you were unable to see them, we offer a complimentary invitation to join again. However, we are very disappointed that you felt unwell and as a result, could not enjoy the manta rays.

We will communicate your feedback regarding the service to the operating company and discuss improvements.

Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable experience with us.

Hawaii Forest and Trail stands for competence, professionalism, passion and respect for the environment they allow to see and for travelers. They really think and manage everything with great knowledge and kindness. I felt cared for in every way, even the chocolate cake!

I was moved by the sight of Earth's shadow for the first time! 初めて見た地球の影に感動!

Reviewed by: よなが

The young guides took a lot of photos for us. The service that allows you to download photos from the blog later is really great!

We experienced so many wonderful colors of the Earth, like the rainbow we saw from the car, the sunset from the mountain top, the shadow of the Earth and the rainbow-colored gradient sky that can only be seen just after the sun sets, and finally, the starry sky and the moon...

I had a happy time listening to the explanation of the constellations while lying on the ground. It was very helpful that they pointed out the stars with a laser, making it easy to understand their positions.

They also provided a telescope, and after seeing Jupiter with its two lines and its surrounding satellites, I was thrilled to see the moon with its clearly visible craters. Next time, if I have the opportunity to participate, I would like to join during a time when there are many stars visible with less moonlight.

It was a tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii. My nephew, who participated with me, is saying he wants to go back to the Big Island. I'm sure it has become an unforgettable memory.

Thank you very much to all the guides.

若いお二人のガイドさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくださいました。
後日、ブログから写真がダウンロードできるというサービスはとても良いですね!

車の中から見た虹、山頂から見た夕日、日が沈んが直後にだけ見ることのできる地球の影と虹色グラデーションの空、そして最後に見た星空と月・・・。本当にいろいろな素晴らしい地球の色を体感させていただきました。

地面に寝っ転がりながら星座の説明を聞かせていただき幸せな時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
レーザーで指し示していただいたので星の位置がわかり大変よかったと思います。

望遠鏡も用意していただき、2筋のラインが入った木星と木星の周りの衛星を見た後、クレーターのはっきり見える月を見て感激しました。

Reviewed by: TANI

One of the things I want to try in Hawaii!
I highly recommend it to everyone!

It's been decades since I last went into the ocean (laughs). No need to worry, it's all good.
Even if you can't swim well, they will guide you to the points.
Thanks to the attentive care of the staff, I was able to meet the dolphins.

It seems that there was a massive occurrence that day (is that the right expression?)...
Daisuke and the staff said, "Don't expect to see this many dolphins all the time. It's a rare day when this happens a few times a year!"
It was a series of great excitement.
I was thrilled to see the dolphins dancing and even flying above the water's surface (about 2 meters away)!
I wished I could swim freely.
I was also able to hear the dolphins' calls.

Thank you, Daisuke, YUKO, and all the staff for this wonderful encounter.
Thank you very much! m(__)m

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Great Tour

Reviewed by: DanV

This tour was great including the tour guide Greg

The only part that was not good was the food. The food was terrible. There must be a place closer that make much better food.

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

A must-visit at least once! 一度は行くべき!

Reviewed by: TANI

The main purpose of this trip was the "Sunset & Stargazing at the Summit of Mauna Kea." Although I had heard various stories from those who have been there, the incredible experience can only be truly understood by seeing it with your own eyes and experiencing it with your own body!

We planned our trip to coincide with the "new moon." (I later heard that it’s not something to worry too much about.)

Since we would be driving on mountain roads, if you are prone to motion sickness, motion sickness medication is a must-have item. They provide warm clothing, but it might also be good to bring a portable hand warmer. The bento was delicious, and having warm drinks like miso soup and cocoa was a nice touch!

During the star explanation, I was looking up for so long that my neck started to hurt (laughs). Seeing others lying down made me think I should have done that from the start. The explanations with the laser pointer were very clear and helpful.

Thank you, Mr. Konno and Stefan!

今回の旅行の第一目的だった『マウナケア山頂のサンセット&天体観測』。
行った事のある人たちから色々と話は聞いていたものの、やはり「自分の目」で見て「自分の体で体験」しないと言葉では伝わらない凄さ!!

私達は、「新月」にあわせて旅行の日程を決めました。(後で聞いたのですが、あまり気にしなくても大丈夫のようで)

山道を走行するので、車に酔う方は「酔い止め」は、必須アイテム。
防寒着は、用意してくださっていますが「携帯カイロ」も持って行くと良いかも。
お弁当も美味しく、お味噌汁、ココア他温かい飲み物も嬉しい‼

星の説明の時、ずっと上を向いていたので首が痛くなってしまいました(笑)
寝っころがっている方がいるのを見て、はじめから寝てれば良かったと思いました。
レーザーペンでの説明は、とてもわかりやすく良かったです。

今野さん、ステファン ありがとうございましたm(__)m

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. The Mauna Kea sunset and star tour is truly a popular experience. The sunset from the summit is exceptionally beautiful. Additionally, during the stargazing, you can see a sky full of stars, and you will witness shooting stars multiple times as you look up. It is truly a wonderful view.

We hope you will visit the Big Island again next time. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you.

Big Island Lei Greeting Service at Kona Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace

A Great Welcome to Hawaii

Reviewed by: Gillespie

My wife and I decided to take our children, their spouses and all the grandchildren on a family vacation to Hawaii. I remembered the nice welcome we had on our first vacation to Hawaii shortly after we were married, and I thought it would be nice to give the whole family a similar experience. Once I found someone to direct me to a possible website, the process was straight forward and easy. What I was looking for was being offered at a discount, and the price seemed right. The instructions were easy to follow, but without mentioning anything to the family, our grandchildren happened to find people holding up our sign first. The hostesses were ready for us with 10 aloha welcomes and beautiful orchid leis (of which 3 were upgraded further, for the mothers). The kids were all pleased and our youngest wore here lei as part of a hairpiece a few days later and it was still looking good. Maybe this isn't needed on each trip to Hawaii, but I'm sure glad I arranged this as a first-time welcome for the grandchildren and their parents. Thanks again for making everything special for our family.

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

I've never seen such a vibrant star! こんなに鮮やかな星、見たこと無い!

Reviewed by: Operacko

I have done stargazing before, but this was the best. The guide, Ms. Ha, explained the stars with her extensive knowledge, making it easy to understand. First, we enjoyed the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds from the snowy mountaintop. I observed the mysterious colors of the sky with my own eyes. After it got dark, I looked up at the stars filling the sky, recalling the knowledge I learned in school, and we talked about constellations, the universe, and various topics. It was very cold, but thanks to my ski wear, I was completely warm. However, using the restroom at the mountaintop was quite a challenge with all the layers... I guess men wouldn't understand... I want to come back to Hawaii Island to see the summer constellations again.

今までにも、星空観測をしたことはあったけれど、ここは最高でした。
満点の星を、ガイドの葉さんが豊富な知識で説明してくださって、よく分かりました。
まず、雪景色の山頂で、雲海に沈む夕陽を観賞。
神秘的な空の色の移ろいを、自分の目でしっかりと観察。
暗くなってからは、空いっぱいに広がる星を見上げ、学校で習った知識を思い出しながら、星座、宇宙、もろもろの話へと。
とても寒かったけれど、防寒は、スキーウェア上下のおかげで完全でした。ただ、山頂でのトイレは、着ぶくれしていて大変でした…男性には分からないだろうけれど…
夏の星座を見に、またハワイ島に来たくなりました。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.
The starry sky at Mauna Kea is truly breathtaking.
It's amazing to think about wearing warm clothing in Hawaii; the Big Island is really vast. In addition to Mauna Kea, the Big Island has many other attractions, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kilauea Volcano.
We hope you will visit the Big Island again next time.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.

After several years, there was nearly one meter of snowfall at the summit, and access to the area had been restricted until the day of the tour, which was fortunate. Moreover, it turned out to be a mild day for winter. At the snow-covered summit, there were a few brave souls enjoying snowboarding. From the summit, where you can even see Maui in the distance, the sunset changed its expression moment by moment, visible beyond the observatory. The starry sky was, of course, magnificent, and I hope to see the summer Milky Way and constellations on my next visit.

数年ぶりに山頂に1メートル近い積雪があり、前日まで山頂付近には入山ができなかったが、ツアーの当日から入山が可能になるという幸運。しかも冬としては穏やかな日になりました。積雪で一面の雪景色の山頂ではスノーボードを楽しむ猛者もチラホラ。遠くマウイ島も見える山頂から刻一刻と表情を変える夕日が天文台の彼方に望むことができました。星空は言うまでもなく素晴らしく、次回に訪れる時には夏の天の川と星座を見たいです。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour the other day.
This year, there have been many closures of the summit gate, but we are very pleased that you were able to join the tour on a day when you could reach the summit amidst the snowy scenery.
It seems that many people are snowboarding at the summit of Mauna Kea.

Please do come again next time, aiming for a different constellation season. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

I was able to meet a family of whales!! 鯨の家族にも会えた!!

Reviewed by: J.O

We set sail on the Zodiac and within less than 20 minutes, we unexpectedly encountered a family of whales. It was an astonishing surprise when a baby whale swam beneath the boat, and both the participants and the guide were thrilled. We could even hear their calls through the underwater microphone. After playing with the whales for about 30 minutes, we moved the boat forward for about 10 minutes and encountered another family of whales. It was an unexpected experience. After finishing snorkeling in the beautiful sea with Captain Cook's monument, a large pod of dolphins appeared, swimming around the boat, and we lost track of time as we all cheered together. It’s rare to have such encounters with whales and dolphins, but we had an unexpected experience, making it a wonderful tour.

ソディアック号で出港して20分足らずで何と鯨の家族とバッタリ遭遇。子鯨がボートの下で泳ぐというビックリするようなハプニングで参加者はじめガイドさんも大興奮。水中マイクで鳴き声まで聞けました。30分程鯨と遊んでから10分ほどボートを進めると別な鯨の家族と遭遇。思いがけない体験ができました。キャプテンクックのモニュメントがある綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングを終えると今度はイルカの大群が現れボートの周辺を泳ぎ、時を忘れて皆で歓声を上げました。今回ほど鯨やイルカと会えることは珍しいとのことですが、思いかけない体験ができ、素晴らしいツアーになりました。

Just one word: wonderful. 素晴らしいの一言

Reviewed by: ころちゃん

Unfortunately, I couldn't reach the summit due to strong winds, but since it was clear, I was able to experience the breathtaking sunset! The Orion constellation is clearly visible even in Tokyo, but at Mauna Kea, I was amazed to see it among so many stars that I couldn't even tell where it was. I'm so happy to have had such a wonderful experience in my lifetime! I hope I can go again in the summer.

Please! It would be great if there were seats available so that I could comfortably listen to the wonderful explanations while lying down. My neck got tired!

強風で山頂には残念ながら登れませんでしたが、晴れていたので夕陽の落ちる感激を体験できました!星空は東京でもハッキリ分かり観ることのできるオリオン座ですが、マウナケアではどこにあるのか分からないくらいの沢山の星の中にあるのに感激 感動 人生の時間の中にこんな素晴らしい体験ができたことが嬉しい!また、夏に行けたらいいな〜〜なんて思っています。
お願いです!その時は素晴らしい説明が寝ころんで聞け観る事が出来るようにシートがあると良いな〜〜。首が疲れたので

It is truly unfortunate that we couldn't take you to the summit due to the gate closure, but we are thrilled to hear such wonderful feedback directly from you.

In Japan, it's not often that we get to look up at the sky to the point of neck pain, right? A seat where you can lie down and enjoy the view might be a good idea! We will take your suggestions into consideration. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

And of course, we sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.
