I was moved by everything!! すべてに感動！！

Reviewed by: happa

Watching the sunset and stargazing at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island is something I want to experience at least once in my lifetime, so I made the trip from my usual base in Oahu. Since I was the first to be picked up for the tour, I ended up sitting next to Masakazu Matsuzaki, known as "Macchan." His consistent dedication to service was genuine. I could hear him saying, "Oh, this is fun, fun," as if he was reminding himself, almost like a mantra. I felt it was wonderful how he responded to guests' requests and guided us naturally, with his way of life and work in harmony.

When you have a good guide, not only can you enjoy the night sky, star clusters, and shooting stars with their extensive astronomical knowledge, but the entire group can also share a pleasant time together. During our stop at Onizuka Point for lunch, we joined the Yamachan group, and the banter between Macchan and Yamachan was a highlight. Thanks to them, we also got to see the rare silver sword plant! As we approached the summit, the sea of clouds and the scattered observation telescopes from various countries created a mysterious and almost sci-fi movie-like atmosphere. When the orange sunset sank into the clouds, the show of countless stars began. That emotion is something you have to experience at least once... While personal cameras have limitations in skill and performance, the photos taken by the guides can be downloaded after returning home, and their quality and shot composition brought a second wave of excitement. I truly made wonderful memories. Thank you very much. Next year, I will challenge myself with the "sunrise." Macchan, please keep guiding until then...!

　ハワイ島マウナケア山頂でのサンセット＆星空観測、なんて、一生に一度は見たいもの、といつものオアフ島から足をのばしました。　ツアーのピックアップが最初だったから、松崎正君（ただし君とは読まない）、通称”まっちゃん”の横に座ることに．．．、彼の終始一貫した、サービス精神は本物でした。聞いてましたよ、「ああ楽しい、楽しい」とあれは自分に言い聞かせながらだったのか、呪文のように唱えてましたね。　客の要望に応えたり、又は誘導したり、出すぎることなく、自然体で、生き方と仕事が一致してるのって、いいなあ、と感じました。
良いガイドにあたると、豊富な天文の知識で星空、星団や流れ星を楽しめるだけでなく、ツアー全員も和やかに一つの時間を共有できるのです。　途中の鬼塚ポイントでのお弁当、やまちゃんグループと合流、まっちゃん＆やまちゃんのかけ合い漫才も目玉ですよ。　珍しい銀剣草もお蔭で見れました！　頂上が近づくにつれ、雲海や点在する各国の展望鏡など、まるで宇宙ＳＦ映画のような不思議な、それでいて神秘的な気分になっていきます。オレンジ色の夕陽が雲海に落ちていくと、満天の星のショーの始まりです。あの感動は一度は味わわないと．．．個人のカメラでは腕と性能に限りがありますが、ガイドの彼らが撮って下さった写真が帰国後、ダウンロードでき、その出来映えとショットセンスに二度目の感動です。ほんとにいい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。来年は、”サンライズ”に挑戦します。まっちゃん、それまでやめないでガイド続けててね．．．！

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: cat

I participated on November 6th. The summit at 4200m was very cold, but the sunset with the sea of clouds was wonderful and very moving. I didn't suffer from altitude sickness, and I was lent proper cold-weather gear. They also provided warm drinks along the way, showing great attention to detail, which allowed me to fully enjoy the stunning scenery. One disappointment was that there were too many clouds to observe the starry sky. Still, I was able to take many photos with the full moon in the background and had a great time. I saw people around 60 years old participating energetically, so I think anyone can enjoy this experience.

11/6に参加しました。4200mの山頂はとても寒かったですが、サンセットは雲海がすばらしくとても感動しました。高山病にもならず、しっかりとした防寒具も貸してもらえ、途中暖かい飲料も頂いたりと細やかに気配り頂いたので、とても素晴らしい景色を堪能することができました。ひとつ残念だったのは、雲が多くて星空観測がほとんどできなかった事です。それでもたくさんフルムーンを背景にたくさん写真を撮ったりして楽しめました。60歳前後の方も元気に参加されていたので、どなたでも楽しめると思いました。

We were blessed with great weather and were moved by the wonderful sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea. Although we participated as an older group, it seemed that everyone experienced a perspective that made them feel as if their lifespan had been extended. Many had wanted to climb it at least once, and we were impressed by the greatness of the mountain, which didn't feel like 4,200 meters, as well as the guide's storytelling and photographs.

天気にも恵まれマウナケアの素晴らしい夕日と星空に感動でした。

The weather at the summit on the day was not great (blizzard), which was a bit disappointing, but... we were able to see the starry sky a little lower down. It wasn't quite a full sky, but it was moving. Masashi's tour was enjoyable and very accommodating, and I was very satisfied. However... it was unfortunate that there weren't enough rental outfits for everyone, and my partner ended up without one and looked cold.

当日の山頂の天候がイマイチ（吹雪）でちょっと残念でしたが･･･少し下ったところで星空見れました。満天･･･までとはいかなかったと思うけど感動しました。マサシさんのツアーは楽しくいたれりつくせりで大満足でした。ただ･･･貸し出ししてくれるはずのウェアが人数分なくて足りなくなってしまい、相方があぶれてしまい寒そうだったのは残念だったところ･･･。

I feel like I saw a shooting star. 流れ星が見えた気がします

Reviewed by: こだいら

I participated with a friend. The cold weather gear was sufficient as the reviews said, but my fingertips and toes still got cold.

At the summit, the air was thin, and I was feeling quite high-spirited, but I noticed that the guide was taking the time to remind everyone to be careful. Thanks to that, I didn’t get altitude sickness, which was a relief.

I was looking forward to the starry sky, so I was wondering how the sunset would be. It was probably my first time quietly watching it, and it left a deep impression on me.

There was a man (probably from America) who asked me to take a photo, and he said he had walked for five hours to get there. I felt that this tour is truly appreciated by ordinary people who don’t have such stamina (laughs).

By the time the stars were visible, I felt an indescribable sense of happiness. The wind was cold, but it was a great spot to see the stars, so I managed to endure it. Actually, I had stopped by a restaurant with a planetarium at Haneda Airport, so I was already prepared for the autumn starry sky! When I heard about the first magnitude star of Ursa Minor, I thought, "Oh, that one!" So, I recommend this to those heading from Haneda.

Although my night vision isn’t great, I feel like I saw about five shooting stars. They were visible to the naked eye, which was moving.

For those with a DSLR, it seemed the guide was giving detailed tips on how to take photos, so I’d definitely want to bring one along. As for me, I didn’t have one, so I left it to the guide. In any case, it’s best to leave it to a reliable professional. (Please refer to other people's photos for the starry sky.)

The guides were efficient, and I was satisfied with the photos, food, and conversation. Thank you very much, Macchan and Stefan. It was a wonderful experience that makes me want to go again.

友人と2人で参加しました。
防寒具は口コミ通り十分でしたが、やはり指先と足先は冷えますね。

山頂は空気が薄く、私の場合はテンションがハイになっていましたが、
ガイドさんは合間を見て気を付けることをみなさんに伝えているなと思いました。
おかげで高山病になりませんでした。助かりました。

星空に期待していたので、日の入りはどうかなと思っていましたが、
静かに眺める機会がおそらく初めてだったこともあり、印象深かったです。

写真をお願いと頼んできた男性（おそらくアメリカの）がいたのですが、
5時間かけて歩いて登ってきたのだとか。
そんな体力のない一般の人には、本当にありがたいツアーだなと感じました(笑)

星空が見えるころには何とも言えない幸せな気分でした。
風は冷たかったですが、星がきれいに見えるいい場所なので我慢です。
実は羽田空港で、プラネタリウム付きレストランに立ち寄っていて、
秋の星空の予習済みでした！
こぐま座の１等星と言われて「あれね！」となったので、
羽田から向かう方にはこちらもおすすめです。
夜の目がきかない方ですが、流れ星を５つぐらいは見た気がします。
肉眼で見えるんですね、感動しました。

一眼レフがある方はガイドさんが細かく撮り方のコツを教えていたようですので、
ぜひ持って参加したいですね。
そういう私は持っていませんからガイドさんまかせでしたが。
何にしても信頼できるプロに任せるのが一番ですよね。
（星空の写真は他の方を参考にしてください。）

手際のよいガイドさんたちで、写真もご飯もトークも満足です。

An experience from another world. 別世界の体験

Reviewed by: Y-SHI

Climbing a mountain over 4,000 meters like Mount Fuji might seem daunting. However, you can actually drive to the summit of Mauna Kea. It may sound easy to just rent a car, but beyond the Onizuka Center, the road is unpaved and driving becomes quite difficult. Additionally, the oxygen levels decrease, making it dangerous to drive unless you have considerable climbing experience.

This tour reveals a world you've never seen before. While Japanese people refer to it as "goraikou" (the first sunrise), the gradually darkening sunset is exceptional.

After that, stargazing... A clear world unfolds that you can't see in the city.

富士山を超える４０００ｍ級の登山というと大変そうだと思われるともいます。
なんとマウナケアは山頂まで車で行けるんです。
じゃレンタカーでと簡単に思ってしまいますが、途中の鬼塚センターから先は舗装されておらず、運転がかなり難しい。且つ酸素が薄くなりますから、よほど登山経験でもないと運転は危険です。
このツアーで見たことのない世界が目の前に広がります。
日本人はご来光といいますが、徐々に暗くなるサンセットは格別です。

またその後の星空観察。。都会では見えないクリアーな世界が広がります。

I couldn't become a diver, but... ダイバーにはなれなかったけど…

Reviewed by: happa

I took a taxi to the Careho Shopping Center, borrowed a sweat suit at the office, and put it on over the swimsuit I was wearing. Then, I got back into the waiting taxi and headed to Careho Bay, where the boat was docked. There were only my partner and me, the only Japanese people there. I felt anxious, but looking at the people around me, I realized it would be fine.

Once we got out to sea, we all took the noodles, which are floating devices, and gradually lowered them from under our arms down to our ankles while putting on our snorkels, waiting for the manta rays to come close to the lights. It felt like being a diver inside an aquarium. The manta rays came so close to my face and body; it was incredibly impressive. That sensation was moving and thrilling, and it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

There are days when you can't see the stars. 星が見れない日もあります

Reviewed by: やすん

My partner and I love stargazing, and we had high hopes of seeing the stars at the world-renowned Mauna Kea! However, since November is the rainy season, we unfortunately encountered completely cloudy skies and were unable to see almost any stars. Since this was the main highlight of our trip to Hawaii, it turned into a disappointing experience afterward. The guide was very nice and seemed well-studied, which left a good impression. Given that we are dealing with nature, it's understandable, but since the participation fee is not cheap, those planning to join during the rainy season from November should be aware that there may be days when you can't see any stars at all.

夫婦で星空が好きで、世界的に名高いマウナケアで星空が見れる!と大きな期待をしていましたが、11月は雨季ということで運悪く完全に曇ってしまい、殆ど星を見ることができませんでした。今回のハワイ旅行のメインだっただけに、その後残念な旅となってしまいました。ガイドの方はとても良い方で、よく勉強されているように見受けられて好印象でした。自然が相手だけに仕方ありませんが、参加費も安くないので、11月からの雨季に参加される方は全く星が見えない日もあることは承知しておいた方がいいですよ。

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

Satisfying sunset and stargazing. 満足のサンセット＆星空観測

Reviewed by: 部留賀

In October 2014, as usual, the Japanese tour was fully booked, so I joined this one. The guide's English explanations were at native speed, making it hard to understand, but he answered our questions slowly during meals and bathroom breaks.

While the Japanese tour seems to have meals at the Onizuka Visitor Center at an altitude of 2,800 meters to help acclimatize, this tour had meals at a "certain place" at the foot of the mountain. After a brief rest at a scenic spot, we climbed straight to the summit, so those worried about altitude sickness need to stay hydrated. Each person was given a bottle of water during the meal for this purpose.

The views of the various observatories from around the world, the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds, and the subsequent twilight were absolutely stunning. As the sun set, the cold increased, and the warm clothing provided was appreciated. After it got a bit darker, we moved near the Onizuka Visitor Center for stargazing after a bathroom break. Unlike other tours that observed within the center's grounds, we had our stargazing in a less illuminated area by the roadside.

I can't forget the beauty of the starry sky I saw at a ski resort late at night, and this sky, along with the Milky Way, was equally enjoyable. There was also stargazing with a telescope, and although the moonlight can be a nuisance for stargazing, the crescent moon this time allowed for good observation of craters through the telescope, which was actually a plus.

In this tour, out of 16 participants on one bus, only my spouse and I were Japanese. Another bus (which had the same meal location) had only one couple of newlyweds as Japanese participants. I think the Japanese tour is recommended, but this one is also a good tour overall. However, the "certain place" where we had our meal had a simple toilet, so those who are extremely particular about cleanliness should be prepared for that.

２０１４年１０月、例によって日本語ツアーが満杯でこちらに参加。ガイドさんの英語説明はネイティブスピードでほとんどわからないが、食事やトイレ時のこちらからの質問等にはゆっくり答えてくれた。
また日本語のツアーは標高２８００メートルのオニズカ・ビジターセンターで食事をしながら標高に体をならしていくようだが、こちらのツアーは麓の「とある場所」で食事をし、その後は見晴しの良いところで少し休憩はあるものの、一気に山頂まで登るため、高山病が心配な人には水分を多く取るような注意が必要だ。そのための水は食事の時に１人１ボトル配布された。
山頂での各国の天文台、雲海に沈む夕日、その後の夕焼けは文句なくすばらしかった。
日が沈むと寒さが増し、貸してくれた防寒具がありがたい。さらにすこし暗くなるとトイレの後、星空観測のためオニズカ・ビジターセンター付近に移動。こちらも他のツアーがセンター敷地内での観測になるのに対し、周りの光がより少ない道路脇の空き地での観測だった。
昔、夜中にスキー場で見た星空の素晴らしさが忘れられないが、それに匹敵する星空と天の川が堪能できた。天体望遠鏡での観測もあったが、星空観測には天敵の月の光も今回の三日月程度なら天体望遠鏡でクレーターがよく観察でき、逆によかった。
今回のツアーはバス１台に１６人の参加者中、日本人は我々夫婦２人だけでした。もう１台別のバス（食事だけ同じ場所で）も日本人参加者は１組の新婚さんのご夫婦だけでした。
日本語のツアーの方がおすすめとは思いますが、こちらも総合的に良いツアーです。
ただし、食事をいただいた上記「とある場所」は簡易トイレなので、極端に清潔好きな人はほんの少々ですが覚悟しておいた方がよいでしょう。

It's a breathtaking view! 絶景です！

Reviewed by: はねみみ

During my trip to Hawaii, I had a strong desire to experience parasailing, so I signed up for this tour. I was a bit anxious since there was no Japanese guide, but the local tour company staff were accustomed to Japanese tourists, so it was fine.

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and from 300 meters above, I was able to enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding area, the endless ocean, and the gentle mountains of Hawaii. I believe it was a valuable experience. There wasn't much wind at that altitude, so even though it was 300 meters up, it felt stable and I didn't feel much fear. If you're hesitating about whether to try it, I definitely encourage you to go for it. My companion, who usually doesn't enjoy thrill rides, also had a great time with parasailing. It will surely become a lifelong memory! Additionally, this tour allows you to request photo shoots while parasailing, so don't forget your money, smiles, and camera-ready poses.

ハワイ旅行中に、絶対パラセーリングを体験したい！という強い思いから、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。日本語ガイドがいらっしゃらないということでしたので、少し不安でしたが、現地の催行会社の方は日本人観光客に慣れていらっしゃるので、大丈夫でした。
当日はとても、天気がよく、３００メートル上空から、近隣地区一体、どこまでも続く海、ハワイの緩やかな山々…と絶景を楽しむことができ、貴重な体験ができたのではないかと思います。上空はそれほど風が吹いていませんでしたので、３００メートル上空と言っても安定しており、それほど恐怖は感じません。どうしようかな…と迷われている方がいらっしゃいましたら、ぜひトライしてみてくださいませ。私の同行者も絶叫系はダメな方ですが、パラセーリングは楽しんでいました。一生ものの思い出になること間違いなし！またこちらのツアーでは、現地でパラセーリング中の写真撮影を依頼することが可能ですので、お金と笑顔とカメラ目線をお忘れなく。

Wonderful! ★Starry Sky★ すばらしい！★星空★

Reviewed by: k.s

I participated with my parents. The Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour seems to be quite popular, and although I asked a travel agency to make a reservation, they couldn't secure one, so I booked online for the first time.

At first, I was filled with anxiety about whether it would be okay, but the guide and all the staff were kind, and I was able to enjoy the experience without any problems.

Regarding my concerns, since it was a meet-up at the location, I was worried about how to get there, but I used a taxi. Once I told the driver the name of the company at the meeting point, they understood right away.

I was prepared for no return transportation, but I was pleasantly surprised to be taken back to the Keauhou Hotel. I think it would be reassuring if it were noted that "return transportation is included."

During the drive, I saw that the mountain was covered in clouds from below, but since the car passed above the clouds, it makes sense that the summit has a high rate of clear weather. Also, the road near the top was unpaved, and there was a broken-down car along the way. I really don't think it would be feasible with a rental car. I felt a little bit of altitude sickness, with a slight headache, but overall, I was fine.

We arrived at the summit just in time for sunset and were able to see the sun setting into the sea of clouds, which was very magical.

As for the stars, since it was a new moon, they were incredibly beautiful. It was my first time seeing the Milky Way so clearly. The chocolate brownies and warm drinks during the observation were also very delicious.

The only downside was that everything was in English. The most challenging part was the phone call. I had to confirm the reservation by phone before the day of the tour, but when I tried to call, I couldn't communicate, so I ended up asking the travel agency for help. Additionally, since my parents don't speak any English, I think they had a hard time understanding the guide's explanations.

However, unlike Oahu, where there are mostly Japanese people, the other participants in the tour came from various countries, which made me feel like I was truly traveling abroad. I think it’s worth participating even if it’s not in Japanese.

I'm not a spokesperson for the tour company, but I believe you'll be more than satisfied with the tour price! I highly recommend it!

両親と三人で参加しました。マウナケア星空ツアーは人気なようで旅行代理店に予約をお願いしたがとれず、はじめて、インターネットで予約しました。
最初は、本当に大丈夫かなと不安でいっぱいでしたが、ガイドさん、スタッフの皆さんは親切で、
全く問題なく楽しんで参加できました。
不安だなと感じた点について、
現地集合ということもあり、どうやって現地まで行こうか悩みましたがタクシーを利用しました。
集合場所の会社名を伝えたらすぐにわかってもらえました。
また、帰りの送迎が無いと覚悟していたのですが、しっかり、ケアウホウのホテルまで送って頂けました。「帰りの送迎あり」と記載して頂けると安心できると思います。
車での移動ですが、下から山を見たら雲に覆われていたのですが、車は、雲の上を通過していくため山頂の晴天率が高いこともうなずけます。また、頂上付近の道は、舗装されておらず、途中、故障車が停まっていました。やはり、レンタカーでは無理だと思います。高山病も、すこし頭が痛いかなと思ったりもしましたが、特に大丈夫でした。
山頂には、しっかり夕日の時間に到着し雲海に沈む夕日を見ることができ、とても幻想的でした。
肝心の星空ですが、
新月ということもあり,とても綺麗でした。天の川をあんなにはっきり見たのは、はじめてでした。
また、観測中のチョコブラウニーとあたたかい飲み物は、とっても美味しかったです。
一つだけ残念なのは、すべて英語ということです。
一番困ったのは、電話です。前日までに予約確認の電話をしなければならないため、電話をしてみたものの伝わらず、結局旅行代理店の方にお願いしました。
また、両親は全く英語ができないためガイドさんの説明が？？？だったと思います。
しかし、日本人ばかりいるオアフ島と違って一緒にいったツアーの皆さんも様々な国からお見えになっていて、海外旅行にきたと言う感じがして良かったのかなと、見方をかえれば言えなくもないです。
日本語じゃないからとあきらめず、参加してみるのもいいと思います。
ツアー会社の回し者じゃありませんが、、ツアー料金以上に満足できると思います！
オススメですよ！！

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＞

It's a show that allows you to experience Hawaii. ハワイを実感できるショーです

Reviewed by: 若く見えるが実はおじさん

This time, my spouse and I stayed on the Big Island for six days.

We only booked the "Deluxe Tour to World Heritage Site Kilauea and Mauna Kea Stargazing (Volcano and Stars in One Day!) by Kailani Tours Hawaii" through VELTRA, so we also signed up for this plan to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. It was definitely the right choice!

Although there were opinions in the reviews that everything was in English and it wouldn't be fun unless you were proficient in the language, I’m posting this to alleviate those concerns and help others enjoy it more.

1. First, the coupon reception
I attached a photo, but when you enter the Kamehameha Hotel and go to the right at the dedicated reception, you can present your coupon, and they will tell you the meeting place. (Staff were present at this reception from the morning.) This map was provided by the hotel. Since I’m not good at English, bringing it along to ask about the meeting place was a good decision. I might not have understood it just verbally... (It was in an area that seemed to explain Hawaii's history within the hotel.)

2. Meeting place and landmarks
I attached a photo for this as well, but there will be signs in the hotel, so that’s where you gather. The person at the dedicated reception told me to arrive by 5 PM, but be careful about that! It’s better to arrive about an hour early to secure a good spot in line. I arrived 50 minutes early and was at the front of the general line, but there was already one group in the priority line, and it became a queue after about 20 minutes. The seating is first-come, first-served, so it’s best to gather early!

3. Content
After lining up, I received a free lei (I didn’t purchase the paid ones) and took photos (they will come around selling them), and after checking in, we went to the venue to grab drinks and were shown to our seats. I was the first to arrive and sat in the front row center of the general seating, but the Japanese people who arrived normally and lined up were also seated together in fairly decent spots in a separate group. (It seems they make arrangements so that you can converse with others in Japanese.)

At the venue, a band was already performing, and there were free services like tattooing and weaving fish with grass. Of course, drinks, including alcohol, were free-flowing.

Dinner started around 6:15 PM, and it gets dark before 7 PM, so it’s best to wrap up your meal and drinks by then.

Having researched the structure of this event through reviews, I was able to enjoy it a lot even though I’m not good at English. It was fun. (I think it would be enjoyable even for families with children!)

今回はハワイ島に夫婦で６日間の滞在でした。

VELTRAさんの「高級バン（メルセデス・ベンツ）で行く！世界遺産キラウエアとマウナケア山麓星空観測(１日で火山と星 ♪）デラックスツアーby カイラニ・ツアーズ・ハワイ」しかツアーは申し込んでいなかったので、ハワイの雰囲気を堪能するためにこのプランも申し込みました。
参加して大正解でした！

口コミではすべて英語なので語学が堪能でないと面白くないとの意見も出ていましたが、そんな不安を解消するためと、より楽しんでもらうために投稿をします。

１．まずはクーポンの受付
　写真を張りましたが、カメハメハホテルを入って右手の専用受付にクーポンを出すと、
　集合場所を教えてくれます。（この受付は朝からスタッフが張り付いていました。）
　この見取り図はホテルでもらった見取り図です。英語が苦手なため持参して集合場所を聞い
　たのは正解でした。口頭だけだとわからなかったかも、、、
　（ホテル内にあるハワイの歴史説明エリアみたいなところでした。）

２．集合場所や目印
　これも写真を張りましたが、ホテル内に看板が出されるのでそこに集合です。
　専用受付の人は１７時に行けばいいと教えてくれますが、そこは注意！
　約一時間前に行って列の先頭をとれるかとれないかの感じです。私は50分前に行って
　一般列の先頭でしたが、既に優先席列には一組並んでいましたし、２０分ぐらいしたら行列
　になっています。観覧席は早いもの順なので早めの集合が良いですよ！

３．内容
　行列に並んだあと、無料レイ（有料例は購入しませんでした）を受けもらって撮影後
　（会場で売りに来ます）、本受付をしたのちに会場までいって飲み物を取って席に案内を
　してもらいます。
　私は一番乗りで一般席最前列中央でしたが、普通に来て並んでいた日本人たちは、別グルー
　プでもそんなに悪くない席にある程度まとめて座らせてもらっていました。（日本語で他人
　と会話ができるようにしてくれる配慮みたいです）
　
　会場ではすでにバンドが演奏、タトゥーや草で魚編む体験など無料のサービスがあります。
　もちろん飲み物もアルコールを含めてフリードリンクです。

　1815ぐらいから食事開始で、19時前には手元も暗くなりますから、それまでに食事や飲み
　物はひと段落しておいたほうがいいですね。

ある程度、このイベントの構成等を口コミ等で調べていたので、英語が苦手でもすごく楽しめました。
楽しかったです。（お子様がいても楽しめると思いますよ！）

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＞

An exhilarating rafting experience! スリル満点のラフティング体験！

Reviewed by: hawaii.aya

We headed to the meeting place from the hotel by rental car. Since the Big Island of Hawaii has straightforward roads, I don't think driving is difficult, but there are very few signs, so it's best to check the location thoroughly before participating. Alternatively, I recommend asking for details at the hotel's Japanese desk!

For the activity, we traveled to the snorkeling point on a tube boat, as shown in the pictures. Just the ride on the tube boat was thrilling and enjoyable!

At the snorkeling point, we saw many fish and a sea urchin that was larger than anything I've ever seen! Also, while diving, I could hear the sound of fish pecking at the coral!

Regarding the cave exploration, I think you'll have a general understanding since you'll receive guidance in Japanese beforehand.

For meals, we had handmade sandwiches, cookies, potato chips, juice, water, and fresh pineapple and oranges cut by the captain on the spot.

I think bringing a towel, a camera, and sunscreen would be sufficient.

As mentioned in the precautions, there are no restrooms on the tube boat. Please be aware that you won't be able to go to the restroom for the four hours during the activity!

ホテルから集合場所までは、レンタカーで向かいました。
ハワイ島は一本道なので運転は難しくないと思いますが、看板は非常に少ないので、参加前に場所の確認はしっかりとしらべた方が良いと思います。もしくはホテルの日本語デスクのようなところで、詳しく聞く事をオススメします！

アクティビティは、写真にあるようなチューブボートでシュノーケルポイントまで向かいます。
チューブボートの移動だけでもスリル満点で楽しめました＼(^o^)／

シュノーケルポイントではたくさんのお魚、みたこともない位大きなウニが見れます！
また、潜っているとお魚がサンゴを突つく音なんかも聞こえましたよ！

洞窟探検については、事前に日本語の案内がもらえるのでなんとなく分かるかと思います。

お食事は手作りサンドウィッチ、クッキー、ポテトチップス、ジュース、お水、船長さんがその場で切るパイナップルとオレンジでした。

持ち物はタオルとカメラ、日焼け止めがあれば十分かと思います。

注意事項にもあるかと思いますが、チューブボートのためトイレがありません。アクティビティ中の4時間はトイレに行けませんのでご注意下さい！

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

Bravo! ブラボー

Reviewed by: ケヤキ君

The altitude was high, and I was a bit worried about my health, but I participated anyway. We took breaks along the way, had meals, and enjoyed jokes from our guide in the car, and we made it to the summit safely. The sunset was wonderful, and the explanation of the constellations made for an amazing experience.

標高が高く、体調が大丈夫かなと思いつつ参加しましたが、
途中での休憩、食事そしてガイださんの車中でのジョークと
無事山頂まで行きました。
夕陽はすばらしい、星座も説明してくれて素晴らしい体験をしました。
