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

It was good. 良かったです

Reviewed by: トマト

I applied for this tour because other companies' Japanese guided tours were already fully booked on the desired date. There was no pickup from our hotel, so we had to make our way to the nearest pickup point, Waikoloa Village (which is not a problem if you have a rental car). When we arrived, there were several Japanese participants as well.

Along the way, we had a light meal in a tent at a former ranch site. The beef soup was delicious. After that, we took another restroom break at the visitor center. We made several stops for photo opportunities as we headed to the summit. They lend you proper warm clothing, but it was still quite cold. However, the sight of the sunset beyond the sea of clouds was majestic.

After sunset, we descended to the area near the visitor center to observe the starry sky. The guide provided various explanations, but it can be quite challenging to understand without a certain level of English proficiency. Nevertheless, the overwhelming beauty of the starry sky remains unchanged, so it's not a major issue. Overall, I think it was a great tour that offered an experience I wouldn't normally have.

参加希望日に他社の日本語ガイドツアーが既に一杯だったため、本ツアーに申し込みました。
我々の宿泊ホテルでのピックアップはない、とのことで最寄のピックアップポイントであるワイコロアビレッジまでは自力で移動（レンタカーのある方なら問題なし）。
行ってみると日本人の方も数組参加されていた。
途中、中腹の牧場跡地にてテント内での軽食。ビーフスープが美味。
その後ビジターセンターにて再びトイレ休憩。
そして数回写真撮影のためのストップを挟みつつ山頂へ。
しっかりした防寒着を貸して貰えるがそれでもかなりの寒さ。とはいえ雲海の彼方に夕日が沈んでいく光景は荘厳であった。
日没後ビジターセンター付近まで降りて満点の星空を観測。
ガイドさんが色々と解説してくれるのだが、ある程度英語力がないと理解するのはなかなかしんどい。でも圧倒的な星空の素晴らしさはなんら変わらないので大きな問題ではない。
全体的には普段できない経験ができて良いツアーだったと思う。

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＞

I was healed by the dolphins. イルカに癒されました

Reviewed by: DAIZO

I participated in the experience campaign on September 21.

We departed from Honokohau Marina in the Kona area on a very large rubber boat called Sea Wolf.

*Unrelated, but the captain of the Sea Wolf was quite big and muscular, yet he spoke in a high-pitched and cute voice with broken Japanese, which was a bit amusing due to the contrast.

While some may have preferences regarding rubber boats, unlike regular boats, we could all enter the water simultaneously from the side of the boat instead of waiting to enter from the back. This meant that even if dolphins appeared, the chances of missing them due to waiting in line were low, which I personally found very good.

The dolphin point itself is close to the marina, but for those who are prone to seasickness, it's safer to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

Additionally, you can choose from life jackets or floatation devices, so even non-swimmers and children can feel safe. Conversely, for those who can swim, not having a life jacket (especially) allows for more freedom in the water. By the way, I was allowed to swim freely without a wetsuit, life jacket, or floatation device.

Shortly after leaving the harbor, I was surprised at how easily we encountered a pod of about seven dolphins. During the first entry, we were able to see two groups of seven dolphins each.

On the way to explore the dolphins, there seemed to be a manta ray point nearby, and during the second entry, we were able to encounter three manta rays at that point.

The mantas were swimming around that area, and the water depth was about 10 meters, so we could see the mantas from above with plenty of excitement, and for those who could dive, they could see the mantas quite closely.

I was thrilled to see a manta ray swimming with its mouth open to eat plankton for the first time from the front, and I could even see the stripes inside its mouth.

Soon after, during the third entry, perhaps due to luck, the dolphins swam around for a very long time, and at times, I was able to swim with them at a distance of about 50 cm, and they jumped right in front of me, providing quite a show.

体験談キャンペーン実施中だったこともあり、
9月21日に参加してきました。

コナ地区のホノコハウマリーナから、
非常に大きいゴムボート（？）シーウルフ（海狼）号で出発しました。

※関係ないですが、シーウルフ号の船長はかなり体格がよくごつい感じですが、
体の割りにかなり高くてかわいい声で片言の日本語で気さくに話してくれ、
そのギャップがちょっとウケます。

ゴムボート的な船は好き嫌いはあるかもしれませんが
通常のボートと違い後方から海へエントリーするのではなく、
ボートのサイドからみな同時にエントリーできたので、
イルカが現れてもエントリー順番待ちにより
イルカを見逃す可能性が少なくて個人的には非常によかったです。

なお、イルカのポイント自体は、マリーナから近いですが、
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安全です。

また、浮くための道具としては、ライフジャケットや、浮き棒を選べるので、
泳げない人や子供でも安心です。
逆に泳げる人は、（特にライフジャケットは）ない方が自由に泳げて
よいと思います。
ちなみに、私はウェットスーツも、ライフジャケットも浮き棒もなしで
自由に泳がさせてもらいました。


港を出て早々、こんなにも簡単に見つかるものかと
イルカ7匹ぐらいの群れに遭遇し、
1回目のエントリー時は、
イルカ7匹×２（別グループ）を見ることができました。

イルカ探索の道中、近くにマンタポイントもあったようで、
2回目のエントリー時は、
マンタポイントでマンタ3枚にも遭遇することができました。

マンタはそのポイント界隈を回遊しており、
水深はだいたい10メートルないぐらいなので、
上からでも十分な迫力でマンタを見ることができますし、
潜れる人であればかなり近くでマンタを見ることができました。

マンタがプランクトンを食べようと口を空けながら泳ぐ姿を
初めて真正面から見ることができ、さらに口の中の縞々も見ることができて
大興奮でした。


ほどなくして3回目のエントリー時、
運もよかったのか、今回のイルカは非常に長い時間周辺を泳いでくれて
近いときは50cmくらいの距離でイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができたり、
ほんと目の前でジャンプしてくれたりとかなりサービス

This was our second time participating, along with my aunt and uncle who joined for the first time. I was a bit anxious about the English tour, but the guide was kind, and it seemed that we were able to bond with the other two Japanese couples participating, as we cooperated with each other during the English tour.

Unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn't observe the stars, but later, through Alan1.net, we received a message from the tour company stating that they would refund half of the tour fee because we couldn't observe the stars due to the weather. I was surprised that they would offer a refund, as I didn't expect it. I appreciate their sincere response.

今回２度目の私たち夫婦と初めての叔母夫婦と参加しました。
英語のツアーで不安もありましたが、ガイドさんも親切で
また他に参加されていた日本人の方２組とも、かえって英語ツアーなので日本人同士協力して仲良くなれたような気がします。

残念ながら天候不良の為、星空は観察できませんでしたが、

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

I was moved by the bright red sunset and countless stars! 真っ赤な夕日と無数の星に感動！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

About ten days before my trip, I made several inquiries to book a tour, but since all the Japanese tours were fully booked, I decided to join this one.

I can't really recommend it for those who don't understand English at all, but if you're okay with explanations in English, I definitely encourage you to participate.

We met at the designated spot around 2 PM and traveled by car with the guide. There were about ten people in our group. We drove along Saddle Road for about two hours and took a break at the foot of Mauna Kea to prevent altitude sickness while having dinner. I heard that the Japanese tour provides bento boxes, but this tour offered corn bread and either beef or vegetable soup (a bit light, but tasty). After about an hour's break, we continued driving up.

We arrived at the summit just before sunset and had about 30 minutes to enjoy the view. The temperature felt below zero... it was quite cold, but they provided winter jackets and gloves, so it was manageable.

After the sunset, we descended a bit to stargaze. The stars are quite beautiful even with the naked eye, and the guide provided detailed explanations of the constellations using a telescope. We stood outside for nearly an hour and a half, so it was very cold. They also served hot cocoa and cookies, but I recommend bringing a hat and hand warmers if you're sensitive to the cold.

This tour, with its fiery sunset and countless stars, including many shooting stars, is something you can never experience in Japan, so I absolutely recommend it! If you're prone to altitude sickness or get motion sickness, please take medication beforehand.

旅行の10日ほど前に予約をしようといくつか問い合わせをしましたが、日本語のツアーが全ていっぱいだったためこちらに参加しました。
英語が全く分からない方にとってはあまりオススメはできませんが、説明が英語でも問題ない方は是非こちらに参加してみてください。
2時ごろ集合場所に車で行き、そこからガイドさんの車で移動。参加人数は１グループにつき10人ほど。
2時間ほどサドル・ロードをひたすら走り、マウナ・ケアの麓で夕食がてら高山病予防のため休憩。日本語のツアーはお弁当が出るそうですが、このツアーはコーン・ブレッドとビーフか野菜のスープ（少し物足りないですが美味しいです）。1時間ほど休憩して、また一気に車であがります。
頂上には太陽が沈む直前につき、30分くらい景色を眺める時間があります。体感温度は0度以下です・・・かなり寒いですが、ちゃんと冬用のジャケットと手袋を貸してくれるので大丈夫です。
夕日のあとは少し山を下って星を見ます。裸眼でもかなりキレイに見えますが、望遠鏡も使いながら星座の説明を詳しくしてくれます。1時間半近く外で立っているのでかなり寒いです。ホットココアとクッキーも出ますが、寒さに弱い人は帽子とホッカイロを持参することをオススメします。

燃えるような夕日と無数の星、流れ星もたくさん見えるこのツアーは日本では決して体験できないので絶対オススメです！高山病になりやすい方や乗り物酔いをする方は予め薬を飲んでから参加してください。

It was a wonderful view. 素晴らしい景色でした

Reviewed by: maki

As everyone mentioned, it was a wonderful sunset, just as the rumors said. It was my first time seeing so many stars, and I was truly moved. The Milky Way and shooting stars were beautifully visible.

I thought the 1:30 PM meeting time was early, but considering everyone's health, I understood the schedule after it was over. The beef stew for dinner was delicious, and it had an outdoor vibe, but it might be a bit tough for those who aren't fond of the outdoors.

We had dinner at 5 PM, and we returned after 11 PM, so it might be a good idea to bring some snacks for the night.

Also, it is really cold. Personally, I felt it was colder than winter in Japan, so please make sure to dress warmly.

皆さんのコメント通り、噂通りの素晴らしいサンセットでした。
あんな沢山の星を見たのも初めてですし、感動しっぱなしでした。
ミルキーウェイも流れ星も綺麗に見えました。

１３：３０の集合は早いのでは？と思ったのですが、体調の事を考えてのスケジュールだったので、終わってみてから納得しました。
夕ご飯のビーフシチューも美味しくて、アウトドアな感じで頂くのですが、アウトドアが苦手な方ならちょっと辛いかもしれません。。

１７時にご飯を食べて、戻ってくるのが２３時過ぎなので、何か夜食を用意して行かれた方が良いかもしれません。

あと、本当に寒いです。
個人的に日本の冬よりも寒い気がしましたので、本気で防寒して下さいね。

Experience the beauty of this starry sky! この星空のすばらしさ、体感してください！

Reviewed by: tama

On Mauna Kea in Hawaii, there are astronomical observatories from various countries, including Japan's "Subaru." This tour, where you can see the starry sky in such a place, is highly recommended! The number of stars is on a completely different scale than in Japan. I was able to see the Milky Way for the first time, and I was very satisfied!!

Watching the bright red sun set, along with the sea of clouds spreading below from the summit of Mauna Kea (which is over 4,000 meters high, higher than Mount Fuji), was truly moving. The road to the summit is quite rough, so I think it's safer and more enjoyable to go with a tour where a knowledgeable guide drives a 4WD vehicle rather than going in your own rental car.

★Things to check before booking the tour
Depending on the moon phase at that time, the recommendation for whether to join a sunrise or sunset tour to see the starry sky changes. I learned this only after arriving on-site, but I think it's best to confirm this when booking to ensure you can enjoy the stars.

★Differences between tour companies
Since multiple companies operate these tours, I booked without knowing what points to consider. After going myself, I realized that there isn't much difference in the schedule or the number of participants. I haven't checked the contents of the lunch boxes thoroughly, but I don't think there's much difference there either. I only went with Nature School, but it seems they were the only company that provided ski pants, hats, and gloves in addition to jackets as cold-weather gear, which I really appreciated. They also explained the constellations using a laser pointer, making it easy to understand.

ハワイ島マウナケアには日本の「すばる」をはじめ、各国の天文観測所が設置されています。
そんな場所で星空が見れちゃうこのツアーは本当におススメ！日本とはスケールがまったくちがう数の星。初めて天の川も見れて、大満足でした！！

真っ赤な太陽が沈んでいく様子も、マウナケア山頂（富士山よりも高い、標高4000m以上）から下に広がる雲海とともに見られて、とても感動的です。
山頂まで行く途中はかなり道が悪いので、自分のレンタカーで行くよりも、慣れたガイドさんが４ＷＤ車を運転してくれるツアーで行くほうが、安心だし十分楽しめると思います。

★ツアー申込前に確かめてほしいこと
その時期の月齢によって、サンライズツアー／サンセットツアーのどちらで星空を見るのがおすすめか変わるそうです。私は現地に着いて初めて知りましたが、申込時に確認したほうが確実に星を楽しめると思います。

★ツアー会社のちがい
複数の会社が催行しているため、何をポイントに申し込めば良いのかわからないまま私は申し込みました。
自分で行ってみて思いましたが、タイムスケジュールや定員人数にはほとんど差は無いようです。お弁当の中身も、ちゃんと確かめてはいないですがそれほどの差は無いかと＾＾
私はネイチャースクールでしか行っていませんが、防寒具としてジャケット以外にスキーウエア的なズボンや帽子・手袋も貸して下さっていたのはこちらの会社のみのようで、とてもありがたかったです。また星座も、レーザーポインタで指し示しながら解説してくださるので話が分かりやすかったです。

Reviewed by: Yume

When we arrived at the meeting point on the pier, we immediately recognized the boat that was docked. The boat was clean, with tables and benches on the first floor, and only benches on the second floor. There was plenty of space to move around. We had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with us, and there were activities that everyone, from kids to adults, could enjoy, such as watching dolphins and riding in a boat shaped like a float. The staff were friendly and very attentive. They also provided wetsuits for both children and adults (each for $10). We were also soothed by the wonderful views, sea breeze, and music. I highly recommend it.

集合場所の桟橋に着くと、船がとまっているのですぐにわかりました。船はきれいで１階にはテーブルとベンチがあり、２階にはベンチのみ。スペースはかなりゆったりとしています。４歳と６歳の子供連れでしたが、イルカを見たり、浮き輪のような形のボートに乗ったり、子供から大人まで楽しめる内容です。スタッフもフレンドリーで、面倒見のよい方々ばかりでした。子供用と大人用のウェットスーツも借してくれます。（１つ１０ドル）素晴らしい景色と海風と音楽にも癒されました。おすすめです。

The Mauna Kea tour in September is fully booked everywhere!! It was a good decision to make a reservation in advance with Alan1. Since all the tours have a small number of participants, they fill up quickly. I recommend making an early reservation... it seems impossible to do so once you arrive in September.

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, but I was incredibly impressed and came back amazed. The beauty of the sunset is the best.

However, since it was close to a full moon, the brightness of the moon overshadowed the stars... which was a bit disappointing!!

But I was happy to see the craters on the moon through the telescope. September is the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the moon is beautiful.

Next time, I will aim for a new moon and participate again. The photos I uploaded are of the sunset, the observation deck, and the bright, beautiful moon.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Upon arriving at the hotel on the Big Island, I immediately made a phone call to confirm my reservation, but I could only communicate in English and couldn't effectively ask about directions to the meeting point, so I gave up and hung up. Fortunately, it seems they kindly contacted the Japanese desk at the hotel for me, and I was able to get assistance from the Japanese desk. I decided to take a taxi to the meeting point.

When we arrived at the meeting point, we were the only Japanese customers there. Once we boarded the boat and set off, I couldn't help but scream with excitement at the incredible speed. It was so much fun! I'm glad I wore sunglasses because the wind was strong.

After a while, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and I was thrilled to see them jump in front of us like in a dolphin show at an aquarium. The clarity of the water in Kealakekua Bay was amazing, and I took various pictures of the fish with my waterproof camera while snorkeling. An American child on board was having fun jumping off the boat. We took a little break on the boat to enjoy sandwiches, fruits, and snacks.

After that, we went to see various caves and felt the greatness of nature. There was an explanation in English about the history of the Big Island along the way, so I recommend that those who don't understand English read the Japanese pamphlet provided before boarding.

It was a tour that exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied!☆

　ハワイ島のホテルに着いてさっそく予約確認の電話をかけましたが英語しか通じず集合場所までの行き方についての質問をうまく伝えられずに諦めて電話を切りました。するとご親切にもホテルのジャパニーズデスクに連絡してくだっさったようでジャパニーズデスクに対応してもらいタクシーで集合場所まで行くことにしました。
　無事集合場所に到着すると日本人のお客さんは私たちだけでした。いざボートに乗り込み出発するとすごいスピードでキャーキャー叫んでしまいました。すごく楽しいです！風が強いのでサングラスをしていて良かったです。

　ケアラケクア湾の透明度はすばらしくシュノーケリングをしながら防水カメラでいろんな魚を撮りました。一緒に乗っていたアメリカ人の子供はボートから飛び込みをしたりして楽しんでいました。ボートの上でサンドイッチとフルーツ、スナック菓子をいただきちょっと休憩。
　その後、いろんな洞窟を見に行き、自然の偉大さを実感しました。

We had a great time as a family on this cruise. My kids (ages 10 and 13) swim, but I was still nervous about them with snorkeling gear in open water for 1.5 hours. Turns out I had no need to worry. They have these great flotation devices you can buckle around their torsos that gives them about 50% flotation, and my kids enjoyed having these on so they didn't have to expend much energy swimming and could enjoy the fish. I'm a marginal swimmer--ok in pools but little experience in open water, and I had a great time also--put on a flotation device around me and didn't worry a bit. I probably could have continued snorkeling another hour. The kids enjoyed sliding off the boat slides into the bay also. Highly recommend.

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＞

It requires quite a bit of stamina. かなり体力が要ります

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Floating in the night sea for 45 minutes while being tossed by the waves, even while holding onto something, takes quite a bit of stamina. I wondered if I really needed to wear a life jacket. The day we went, the waves might have been a bit rough.

I took motion sickness medication, but the waves were so rough that I got seasick and returned to the boat a little earlier than others. At the very least, it's a good idea to remember some English like "I wanna go back to the boat. I'm tired." The staff will help you when returning, but for the few meters until you grab the rope, you'll have to swim on your own in open water, which could be tough if you're not a strong swimmer... I think it's better to return with a bit of energy left. It was a more demanding activity than I expected.

The manta rays came quite close, which was great. Since seaweed and debris can get tangled in your hair while floating, wearing a swim cap helps prevent that and also makes the mask straps more comfortable. The English explanations weren't difficult, so you'll be fine.

何かにつかまりながらとはいえ、夜の海で波に揉まれながら45分浮いているのは、結構体力がいります。救命胴衣は着けなくていいのかな？と思う位でした。私たちが利用した日は、少し波が荒かったのかもしれません。

酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、波が荒くて酔ってしまい、他の人より少し早く船に戻りましたが、少なくとも"I wanna go back to the boat. I'm tired."位の英語は覚えていった方がいいです。戻る時はスタッフが手伝ってくれますが、ロープにつかまるまでの数mは、何もない所を自力で泳ぐことになるので、カナヅチだと厳しいかも...少し余力を残した状態で戻った方がいいと思います。思っていたよりお気楽ではないアクティビティでした。

マンタそのものは、すぐ近くまで来てくれて良かったです。海に浮いている藻や屑が髪に絡まるため、水泳用の帽子をかぶっておくと、引っ掛かりにくいし、マスクのゴムも痛くないです。英語の説明は、難しい事は言っていないので、大丈夫です。

Cruising while being blown by the sea breeze was very pleasant. The view of Hawaii Island from the ocean was also wonderful. Along the way, a pod of about five or six dolphins came close and swam right by us, which was a bit moving.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the cruising was, and I felt glad to have participated.

潮風に吹かれながらのクルージングはとても気持ちよかったです。海から見るハワイ島の景色もすばらしかったです。途中イルカも５，６頭寄ってきてすぐそこを泳いでいるのが見れてちょっと感動でした。シュノーケルは青くてきれいでしたが、ちょっと魚がいない感じでそこは残念でしたが、クルージングが意外に気持ちよくて参加してよかったと思いました。

I had some anxiety about the announcements being in English only, but on that day, there happened to be a Japanese group with us, and the guide translated for us, so there were no problems at all.

Kealakekua Bay was amazing. The sea was so beautiful that my 7-year-old and 4-year-old said it was the most fun they’ve ever had. Even my husband, who isn’t very comfortable in the water, really enjoyed it. The slide was quite high and not suitable for small children, but my older child took on the challenge. I tried it too, but... young guys were sliding down like crazy.

The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and the boat didn’t rock too much, which was great. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any dolphins, but we will definitely go again next time. I highly recommend it.

英語のアナウンスのみと言うことで多少の不安がありましたがこの日はたまたま日本の団体が一緒でガイドさんが通訳してくれたので何の問題もありませんでした。

ケアラクア湾は最高でした。
とにかく海が綺麗で７歳と４歳の子供達も一番楽しかったと言ってます。
あまり海が得意でない夫もとっても楽しんでました。
滑り台は結構な高さがあり、小さい子には不向きですが上の子はチャレンジしてました。私もやりましたが・・・・

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＞

Children too!! 子供も！！

Reviewed by: namie

I went with my 6-year-old and 4-year-old, and both of them enjoyed floating in the sea. The activities were enjoyable for the kids as well. We were the only Japanese people there, but it wasn't a problem at all. Grandpa just watched, but the boat was large enough to provide shade, so waiting was comfortable.

６歳と４歳の子供連れでしたが、二人とも海でぷかぷか。
子供にも楽しめる内容でした。
日本人は私達だけですが、特に問題はなかったです。
ジージは見ているだけなのですが、船が大きいので日陰があり
待つのも安心でした。

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Island Breeze Luau

Reviewed by: Bonnie

We were looking forward to our first adventure in Hawaii... an official Luau. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the history of the story telling. However, one downside was that we were instructed and confirmed to go to one hotel and when we arrived early to check in were told there was no show there that night... after going through channels we were told to go to another hotel and we checked in without issue. The evening was pleasant, we met other families and enjoyed the fun. The food was good but nothing too special but the atmosphere was pleasant, the breeze warm and the mai tai's cold! We enjoyed the experience overall.

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

Lei Greeting

Reviewed by: Bonnie Latini

I found Hawaii Activities on the internet and went with it. I was a little worried that I was not going to get what I paid for but I was more than pleasantly surprised. When we arrived our Greeter was there with the sign just like the instructions said they would be. It was a simple pleasure for my family, especially my daughter. The woman who greeted us was beautiful and as kind as anyone we've ever met! We couldn't have asked for a better welcome to Hawaii. 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＞

Thank you for a fun day. 楽しい一日をありがとう

Reviewed by: そらまめ

My first time on the Big Island. It's a tropical island just a half-hour flight from Oahu. I was amazed by the island that looked like it was covered in chocolate from the airplane. Once there, it was all about relaxing and taking it easy. The marina with the Zodiac tour was a continuous source of excitement for someone like me who loves machines and mechanics. I was captivated by the moving lathes and milling machines in the repair shop. A round of applause for the behind-the-scenes workers at the resort. The American workers in their uniforms looked cool too.

Now, the rafting on the boat was a blast, zooming over the waves with a cheerful captain and staff. It was simply fun. Not only did we speed along, but we were also gentle with the dolphins and whales we spotted in the waves. The staff mentioned that it's rare to see whales so close. (The timing was so perfect, it felt like they were kept in the Zodiac.) The snorkeling was incredible, probably due to the clear waters around the lava coast. The bay had little current, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. On the way back, there was no time to get seasick as we sped back. Thank you for a wonderful day. Mahalo.

初めてのハワイ島。オアフ島より半時間ほどのフライトでつくトロピカルな島。飛行機から見るチョコレートを流したような島にびっくり。過ごせば、のんびり、ゆったり。このツアーのソディアックのあるマリーナは、機械、メカが大好きな小生には、感激の連続。旋盤、フライス盤の動いている修理工場に見入った。リゾートの裏方に拍手。作業服のアメリカ人もカッコイイ。さて、ボートでのラフティングは、陽気なキャプテン、スタッフとともに、バンバン波の上をブッ飛ばす。アーア楽しいの一言。飛ばすだけでなく、波に見えるイルカ、クジラには優しく。クジラがこんな身近で見られるのは、スタッフも珍しいとのこと。（ソディアックで飼っているいるのかと思われるようなタイミングのよさ）シュノーケルも溶岩の海岸のためか、海の透明度がすごい。湾の流れも少なく、子どもも大人も楽しめる。帰りのボートも船酔いする暇もなく、すっ飛ばす。楽しい一日をありがとう。マハロ

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＞

Manta マンタ

Reviewed by: 安藤敏雄

I saw a manta ray for the first time in Hawaii. I heard that the chances of seeing one are close to 100%. Since I had my child with me, I was relieved that we were able to see it. However, the briefing on the boat before diving was quite long, and my wife and child started to feel sick, so I think the briefing should be shorter. That said, I was surprised at how close it came, almost touching my legs. I think seeing a manta ray is worth it, but maybe just once?

　初めてのハワイでマンタを見ました。見ることができる確率は１００％に近いと聞いていま。子供がいたので、見ることができホッとしました。ただ、潜るまでのレクチャーが、船上で長く行われたため、ワイフと子供が気持ちが悪いと言い出したので、船上レクチャーは短めにしたほうがいいと思いました。それにしても足に触るぐらいまで近くに来たのでビックリ。マンタは一度でいいかな？でも見る価値はあると思います。

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＞

I was able to experience a lot. いっぱい体験できました

Reviewed by: バナナ

I participated with my husband and son. I had done rafting in a river before, but I had never done it in the ocean, so I was excited to see what it would be like. Since it was my first time going to the meeting point, I was a bit anxious, but I was able to find it right away as directed. The captain only spoke English, but we received detailed printed information in advance, so I didn't have any issues. However, I thought it would have been more fun if I understood the language better.

When we set off, I thought it was a rafting and snorkeling tour, but we encountered a whale once and dolphins two times. It was very exciting since I hadn't expected it. The dolphins jumped while spinning their bodies several times. They were very playful. Seeing a whale in person was also a first-time experience for me, and it was very moving. We enjoyed rafting both to and from the location, and we had plenty of time for snorkeling, about an hour and a half, with lots of fish around. It's rare to find a tour that offers such experiences. I think the cost performance is good as well. I highly recommend it.

However, the boat stops at certain points, and the waves can make you feel a bit nauseous. It moves quickly, so it's okay, but since you spend five hours on the boat or in the sea, if you're worried, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. The sun is also strong, and there is nothing to block it, so I think it's best to prepare well for that before participating.

夫と息子と私の３人で参加しました。川でのラフティングはしたことがありましたが、海ではしたことがなく、どんなのかわくわくして参加しました。現地集合で初めて行くところなので不安がありましたが、案内されたとおりで、すぐにみつけることができました。キャプテンは英語しか話せませんが、事前に詳しいプリントといただけるので、困ることはありませんでした。でも言葉が分かれば、もっと楽しいだろうなと思いました。出発するとラフティングとシュノーケルのツアーと思って参加したのですが、クジラ１回といるか２回に出会えました。期待していなっただけにとても盛り上がりました。いるかは、何度もくるくる体を回転させながらジャンプしていました。サービス精神満点のいるかでした。くじらも生で見るのは初めての経験で、とても感動しました。ラフティングも行きと帰りに楽しみ、シュノーケルもたっぷり１時間半ぐらい時間があり、魚もいっぱいでした。これだけ体験できるツアーはなかなかないです。コストパフォーマンスもいいと思います。お勧めです。ただポイントでボートが停まってくれるのですが、波でゆれ気分が悪くなることもありました。すぐに動くので大丈夫ですが、５時間はずっとボートか海の上で過ごすので、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心です。日差しも強く遮ってくれるものもないので、対策は、しっかりして参加するといいと思います。

Wonderful experience! Felt a bit rushed with having our dinner. Not enough bath room breaks, especially after having a cup of coffee after star gazing and then having a two hour drive back to our hotels, made for a very uncomfortable ride home.

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

Milky Way and shooting stars 天の川と流れ星

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family of three. The car was full. The staff who provided the transportation was very good at talking, and we enjoyed ourselves during the ride. The miso soup in the bento during the break was delicious. It seemed that the conditions on the day we participated were good, and the temperature was a bit high. Still, it was quite cold at night without winter clothing. After getting off near the summit, we walked a little more to reach the top's cairn. It was my first summit!!! The altimeter indeed showed over 4000 meters. During the stargazing, we descended a bit to avoid disturbing the observatory. Since the moon was not out at that time, we were able to fully enjoy the starry sky. After living for several decades, I was able to see the Milky Way and my first shooting star with my own eyes.

家族３人で参加。車は満席でした。送迎スタッフはとても話が上手な方で、車中でも楽しませていただきました。途中休憩のお弁当のお味噌汁が美味しかったです。参加した日は好条件だったようで少し気温が高めだったようです。それでも防寒着なしで夜の寒さは厳しいですね。山頂近くで下車してから残り少し歩いて頂上のケルンへ。初登頂！！！。高度計は確かに４０００ｍ以上を示していました。星空観察時には天文台の邪魔にならないよう少し下山。月もでていない時間帯だったこともあり、星空を堪能することができました。○十年生きていて、初天の川と初流れ星を目で見ることができました。

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

Horizon 水平線

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Despite arriving before opening hours, the office staff treated us with great courtesy and even explained how to use the parking lot. After opening, we received a Japanese document outlining the disclaimers and other important information, but understanding its content was a bit tricky. It seemed like it was written using an automatic translation tool... Still, we managed to grasp the main points and signed it. My husband, son, and I all went up together at once. It was surprisingly high, and at times we flew low enough that it felt like we might land in the sea. Thanks to the captain's skillful control of speed and direction, our family was able to share an unprecedented sense of excitement. Additionally, we were fortunate with the weather, which allowed us to see the horizon curving with our own eyes. Upon returning to the port, my son bought a UFO shirt as a souvenir and looked very satisfied.

開店前の到着にもかかわらず、オフィスの女性が丁重に対応してくれました。駐車場の利用案内まで説明してくれました。開店してからは、最初に免責等の確認事項の日本語文書をもらいましたがその内容を理解するのが少々厄介でした。おそらく自動翻訳機能をつかった文章かと・・・。それでも何とか言わんとすることを理解してサイン。主人、息子、私の３人一緒に一気に上空へ。びっくりすほど高く、時には海に着水しそうに低く、船長さんがスピード、方向をうまくコントロールしてくれたおかげで、家族で今までにない感動を共有することができました。また、天候に恵まれたおかげで水平線が弧を描いているのを自分の目で確かめることができたのがよかったです。帰港時に、息子は記念にUFOシャツを購入し満足気でした。
