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＞

You should participate! 参加すべし！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Even when looking at guidebooks and everyone's reviews, it was recommended that if you go to Hawaii, you should see the Luau show, and I was a bit skeptical about how good it really was.

The result was a huge success!!
While waiting for the show to start, I participated in interactive events and enjoyed some cocktails.
After that, I had a buffet meal and watched the show.
Not only was there hula, but also Tahitian dance and a fire show, making it a rich and enjoyable experience.

ガイドブックを見ても、みんなの口コミを見ても、ハワイに行ったら、ルアルショーがお勧めと書かれてあり、そんなに良いのかなぁ？？と半信半疑で、申し込みました。

　結果は、大正解！！
ショーが始まるまでの間は、参加型のイベントに参加したり、カクテルを飲んだりして時間を過ごしました。
その後、バイキングの食事を食べ、ショーを見ました。
　フラだけでなく、タヒチのダンスやファイアーショーもあり内容が充実していて、楽しめました。

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

Atlantis Submarine Tour アトランティス・サブマリンツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We slowly moved from the Kailua Pier to the submarine by boat. The coastline of Kailua-Kona is beautiful. Once inside the submarine, I was surprised at how spacious it was; we dove 100 feet (about 30 meters) and could see the seabed clearly. I am generally prone to seasickness, and since I was sleep-deprived after participating in the Mauna Kea summit sunrise tour, I experienced mild seasickness. I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take medication before boarding the boat at the pier.

カイルア・コナの沿岸がきれい。
潜水艦に入って見ると中は意外に広く１００フィート（約３０ｍ）潜り海底まで見えきれい。
もともと船に弱い方で、またマウナケア山頂サンライズツアー参加後すぐで睡眠不足だったので、軽い船酔いになりました。
船に弱い方は、桟橋で船に乗る前船酔いの薬を飲まれる事をお勧めします。

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＞

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see dolphins. I was a bit worried because it seemed that some people couldn't see them, but during my visit, perhaps due to the timing, I was able to see dolphins swimming from the hotel balcony in the morning, so I wasn't too concerned. By the way, it was around mid-May, during the new moon phase (which may not be related).

As soon as we set sail, we saw dolphins up close, and I was really excited. I regretted not taking pictures because I thought we would be snorkeling there. We ended up snorkeling at another location, which had beautiful coral reefs. They provided masks and fins, and just floating in the sea was very soothing and enjoyable. There were always meals and drinks available, and the shower and restroom were clean, so I thought it was a nice experience. It felt more like a relaxing playtime.

I also did diving as an option. I didn't understand the language, but they properly informed us about the dive sites and guided us, so I had a lot of fun. However, once you start diving, the free time (if you can call it that) becomes limited. I thought it would be amazing if we could dive in the area where the dolphins are.

イルカ見れました。書き込みには、見れなかった人もいたようなので、ちょっと心配でしたが、私の時は、時期がよっかったのか、ホテルのベランダからも朝はイルカが泳いでいるのがみれていたので、心配がなたったです。ちなみに５月半ばの、（関係ないかもだけど、）新月位の時でした。
　出航してすぐイルカがみれ、まじかでしたので、ちょう興奮しました。そこでスノーケルかと思い写真をとらなかったのが、残念でした。スノーケルは、他の場所で、そこは珊瑚のきれいな海です。マスクとフィンを貸してくれて、海に浮いているだけでもとても癒されよかったです。食事も飲み物もつねにあるし、シャワーもついてるし、トイレもキレイなので、いい感じだと思います。どちらかというと、のんびり遊ぶ（癒しな）感じだと思います。
　オプションでダイビングもしました。言葉は解りませんが、ちゃんとポイント名も教えてくれて、ガイドもしてくれたので、結構楽しめました。　ただ、ダイビングをしてしまうと、自由時間（？）が少なくなってしまいます。せっかくなら、イルカがいるところで、ダイビングできたら最高なのにな、と思いました。

I participated in a cruise that departed at 9 AM.

On the day of the cruise, we were the only Japanese people, and the rest were foreigners. All the explanations were in English, but I didn't have any particular difficulties. On the way there and back, we encountered dolphins. We were able to stop the boat and enjoy watching the dolphins until they left. Unfortunately, the dolphins weren't at the snorkeling point, so we couldn't swim with them, but the rental snorkeling gear was very clean, and the boat had a slide that the kids could enjoy (the adults were sliding down too). They provided anti-fog spray for the snorkeling masks and tubes as substitutes for floatation devices, which made for a very comfortable experience. The snorkeling point was in shallow waters with not much wave action, and there were plenty of fish, so even kids could have fun.

There was someone celebrating a birthday that day, and we all sang a birthday song at the end. It was a fun tour.

It was a very beautiful sea! とっても綺麗な海でしたっ！

Reviewed by: Azmy

The captain and staff speak English, but they provide a paper with important notes and destination explanations in Japanese at the beginning, so there's no need to worry. They know a lot about Japan and speak in friendly, easy-to-understand English.

We traveled to the snorkeling point by rubber boat, and we immediately encountered swimming sea turtles in the harbor. Once we hit the open sea, we sped towards our destination. The sudden increase in speed made me think I might be thrown into the water at first (laughs), but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the beautiful blue sea and the coastline of the Big Island while cheering on the bouncing boat.

Kealakekua Bay, where Captain Cook's monument is located, is a natural spot facing steep cliffs. The waves were calm, making it safe for me, even as a first-time snorkeler. The water was crystal clear and bright with sunlight, and the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish made me lose track of time. Although it was far away, I was also able to see a pod of dolphins.

I had a great time, but when I got back and looked in the mirror, I noticed my back and the back of my thighs were sunburned and my butt had clear tan lines from my swimsuit. Please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly before you go!

キャプテンもスタッフも英語ですが、最初に注意事項や行き先の説明を日本語で書いた紙をくれるので、心配ありません。日本のことも良く知っていて、やさしい英語で気さくに話しかけてくれますよ♪
シュノーケルポイントへはゴムボートで行くのですが、港内でさっそく泳ぐ海亀に遭遇。海に出た後は目的地まで猛スピードで行きます。いきなりスピードアップしたので、最初は海に放り出されるかと思いました（笑）でもすぐに慣れて、飛び跳ねるボートに歓声をあげながら、真っ青な海やハワイ島の海岸線の景色を楽しむことができました。
クック船長の記念碑のあるケアラケクア湾は断崖絶壁に面した自然いっぱいの場所です。波も穏やかでシュノーケリングが初めての私でも安心でした。海は奥深くまで透き通って日の光で明るく、綺麗な珊瑚礁と色とりどりの魚たちには、時間が過ぎるのを忘れてしまうくらいでした。遠くでしたが、イルカの群れも見ることができました。
とても楽しかったですが、帰って鏡を見たら、背中、腿の裏が日焼けで赤くなってました。お尻も水着の跡がくっきり。日焼け止めは念入りに塗って行って下さいね。

The passion for thier culture, and familys was beautifully done. By the time you left, you felt like you were part of their Ohana. The only thing I may suggest is to have more fresh fruits for those on a limited diet and more flower leis for sale, as they ran out the first 25 customers. I would give it a 4 1/2 stars.

I went parasailing with my father (55 years old) and nephew (7 years old). All three of us loved it! My father and nephew went tandem and I took pictures of them. My nephew absolutely loved it, especially when they were dipped in the water on the way back in to the boat. I went up by myself and I can't even begin to describe how peaceful it is. There is virtually no noise and the views are amazing. You can see the coral in the ocean, even from 1,000 feet up! The guides were great; they were fun and knowledgeable. They also had great recommendations for food, drinks, and snorkeling. The price is a bit high but overall worth it. Not only do you go parasailing but you also get a fun boat ride.

The sea and the fish were beautiful! 海と魚がきれいでした！

Reviewed by: marron

After gathering and listening to the instructions, we boarded the boat and headed out to sea. We encountered a sea turtle as we left the harbor. Once we departed, the boat accelerated quickly, cutting through the wind. I was surprised by the speed! Once I got used to the rhythm of the waves, it was a lot of fun. (However, if you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to have some medication on hand.)

On the way to the snorkeling point, we enjoyed the coastal scenery, including beaches. The snorkeling point is right next to Captain Cook's monument. Even from a distance, the coral was beautifully visible, and when I went snorkeling, I was amazed to see so many fish. The colorful fish eating the coral were adorable. I also spotted a pod of dolphins in the distance.

The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, but I had a great time. On the way back, we stopped by the blowhole and caves, and the captain provided explanations for each. It was a bit challenging to catch everything since the explanations were in English, but it was nice to realize that all the other participants were foreigners, making it feel like we were truly enjoying marine sports abroad.

The meeting point was easy to find thanks to clear signage, so I arrived without getting lost. I highly recommend this experience!

集合して、注意事項を聞いた後、ボートに乗って海へ。
港を出るときに海亀に出会いました。港を出るとどんどん加速して風を切って走っていきました。そのスピードにびっくり！波のリズムに慣れるととても楽しかったです。（ただ、乗り物酔いする方は酔い止めがあった方が安心かもしれません。。）
ボートでシュノーケリングポイントへ行く途中、ビーチなどなど海岸沿いの景色も楽しめました。
シュノーケリングポイントはクック船長の記念碑のすぐそば。遠くからでもサンゴがきれいに見えて、シュノーケリングしてみるとたくさんの魚がいて感動でした。
色とりどりの魚たちが珊瑚を食べてる姿がかわいかったです。イルカの群れも海の向こうに見えました。
天気が曇っていて少し寒かったのですが、とても満喫できました。
帰りがけに潮吹き岩や洞窟によって、船長さんがそれぞれの説明をしてくれました。説明が英語だったので聞き取るのが大変でしたが、参加者が私たち以外はみんな外国の方で、外国でマリンスポーツをしていることをとても実感。よかったです。
集合場所も目印の看板が分かりやすくて迷わず到着することができましたし、おすすめです！

I received a notification from Alan the day before that there were too few participants for the scheduled date, but I was able to change the date and participate successfully.

I joined the afternoon tour, but it was cloudy that day, and the snorkeling time at Kealakekua Bay, which I was looking forward to, felt a bit dark underwater. If you can wake up early, I think the morning tour would have better weather conditions. Although I stayed in Kona, it often became cloudy in the afternoon even if it was sunny in the morning.

I was the only Japanese person on the tour, but they provided a Japanese-language pamphlet during boarding, so I could grasp the general idea, and the captain was friendly and chatted with us, so there were no problems at all.

The rafting was a bit nerve-wracking at first as I felt like I might be thrown off, but once I got used to it, it was fine. We were shown lava caves and blowholes in a rubber boat. On the way back, we had a brief encounter with dolphins, which was enjoyable.

申し込んだ日時の参加者が少なく実施出来ないとの連絡が、Alan1より前日に宿泊ホテルにありましたが、日時の変更をして頂き無事参加しました。
午後のツアーに参加しましたが、当日は曇りで楽しみにしていたケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケルの時間は少し海中が暗い感じでした。早起きできれば、午前のツアーの方が天気の状況は良いと思います。コナに滞在しましたが、午前中は晴れていても午後曇ってくることが多かったです。
日本人は私一人でしたが、乗船時に日本語の解説パンフをくれるので大体の感じは掴めますし、船長も気さくにお話ししてくれますので、全く問題ありません。

An experience that feels like being drawn into the starry sky. 星空に吸い込まれそうな体験

Reviewed by: Hawaiian

One notable aspect of Masashi's tour is the abundance of warm clothing options tailored for those who are sensitive to the cold. While other tours seemed to only provide knee-length jackets, this tour also offered overalls with insulated pants, allowing us to lie on the ground during stargazing after sunset. That said, women who are particularly sensitive to the cold might feel more comfortable bringing their own thicker hoodies or lightweight down jackets. I also brought leg warmers. However, the gloves I borrowed were quite thin, and I wished they were a bit warmer.

Additionally, there was a service offering warm tea during stargazing, which was truly thoughtful. The explanation of the constellations was clear, using a laser pointer, and it made me realize that we, as Japanese, can only see a small part of the constellations. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Southern Cross, which I thought could only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. The guide, Mr. Yama, who explained the constellations, was very entertaining, making it a tour filled with laughter.

マサシのツアーの特筆すべき点は、やっぱり日本人の寒がりに対応した防寒着の充実でしょう。他のツアーでは、膝丈の上着だけのようでしたが、当ツアーでは、オーバーオールタイプの綿入りズボンも用意されており、日が落ちてからの星空観測でも地面に寝転べるほどでした。とはいえ、寒がりの女性はご自分でも分厚めのパーカーや薄手のダウン等準備されたほうが安心です。私は加えてレッグウォーマーも持っていきました。ただ、お借りした手袋は結構薄めで、もう少しあったかいといいなーと思いました。
加えて、星空観測中に暖かいお茶のサービスがあり、本当に至れり尽くせりでした。
星座の説明は、レーザーポイントを使ってわかりやすく、私達日本人は星座のほんの一部分しか見えてないのだなあと実感しました。南半球でしか見えないと思っていた南十字星を見ることができたのもうれしい驚きでした。星座の説明をしてくれた山さん？というガイドさんの話はとっても楽しく、笑い声の絶えないツアーでした。

A dazzling starry sky show★ 満天の星空のショー★

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き！

On April 2nd, I participated with my family of four. It was the perfect day for stargazing, being the third day after the full moon. The clear sky without any clouds added to the excitement when we got off the bus; it was an indescribable feeling.

As the stars seemed to be falling around us, we received thorough explanations. My son had just finished his junior high school entrance exams, so he had retained a lot of knowledge about astronomy, making it a wonderful experience to connect theoretical knowledge with reality. We even got a good look at the rarely visible Cancer constellation.

We confirmed Saturn through the telescope, but it appeared small; the one we saw at the planetarium in Tokyo was larger (perhaps due to the telescope's precision???).

The sunset at Mauna Kea before that was also stunning, with oranges reflected in the clouds and the indescribable colors of the sun's afterimage... everything was wonderful. Additionally, our guide, O, provided a wealth of knowledge backed by data, and his modest yet friendly demeanor made for a truly great tour.

With all these three elements combined, it became an unforgettable Mauna Kea tour for us.

One disappointing aspect was that we had to wait 20 minutes during the tour pickup. This was not the guide's fault, but rather due to some participants not keeping time. Since it was a group activity and we were participating online, unexpected delays can cause anxiety. I encourage those who will participate in the future to keep time so that everyone can enjoy the experience comfortably.

　4月2日に、家族4人で参加しました。
　満月から3日目に当たる日のため、星を見るには最高の日和でした。また、雲のない絶好の空も重なり、バスを降り立ったときの感動は言い表せないほどのものです。
　まるで星が降ってくるようななか、丁寧に解説をしていただきました。ちょうど息子が中学受験を終えたばかりでしたので、天体の知識はばっちり残っており、机上の理論と現実の目が重なり何よりの収穫だったと思います。
　あまり見えないかに座もしっかり確認。

望遠鏡では土星を確認しましたがちいさく、東京の科学館の星空観察会で見せてもらったものの方が大きかったです。（たぶん望遠鏡の精度が落ちる？？？）

　その前にあったマウナケアの夕日も雲に反射したオレンジや、太陽の残像のなんともいえない色・・・どれもすばらしい。
　また、ガイドのOさんの、データーに裏づけされた知識量と、控えめ且つほどよい親しみで本当によいツアーとなりました。

　以上3拍子そろい、私たちにとって忘れられないマウナケアツアーとなりました。
　
ひとつだけ残念なこと、ツアーのピックアップ時に20分待たされたことです。ガイドさんのせいではなく、参加者の中の時間を守らないということですが、団体行動であること、インターネットで参加をしているので、不測の事態には不安がつのるので、これから参加される方は、ぜひ時間を守ってみんなが気持ちよく過ごせるよう協力しましょう。

Captain Zodiac is the best! キャプテンゾディアック最高！

On April 1st, we participated as a family of four in the morning.

The weather was great, and the waves were calm, making it perfect for snorkeling. Since we stayed at the Waikoloa Marriott, we arrived at the meeting point, the Honokohau Harbor, in about 20 minutes. The check-in location was easy to find, and the process was smooth with the presentation of our virtual tickets.

Once we boarded the boat, we quickly spotted dolphins; a large pod of wild dolphins surrounded our boat. We were the only Japanese people there, but the American children were friendly, which created a great atmosphere. Everyone was friendly, and we had a fun cruise. The captain resembled Mariah Carey, and the boat moved at an incredible speed. We spotted a whale along the way, and it was thrilling to see it up close. The crew kindly searched for dolphins and whales, so we were never bored.

While snorkeling in the clear water, we saw many colorful tropical fish. This was my first time experiencing such beautiful water and snorkeling spots. There was plenty of time, and I highly recommend it.

We booked online and handled the arrangements ourselves, and everything went smoothly. The staff was quick to respond, and we were satisfied.

As others have mentioned, everything was in English, which was a bit disappointing. I understood the necessary information, but I couldn't catch the explanations about the sightseeing points, which was a shame. It’s a great tour, and I hope they can offer a tour for Japanese speakers in the future.

P.S. My two children (middle schoolers) are still saying they want to go again. I hope everyone enjoys it too!

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

Wonderful 素晴らしい

Reviewed by: m310

I saw many comments about how wonderful the starry sky is, so I decided to participate and see it for myself. It was even more amazing than I expected, and I was truly moved. Above me was a sky full of stars, the Milky Way, and shooting stars, and I was able to see Saturn and the Pleiades through a telescope, which was breathtaking. The sunset from the summit was also fantastic. The sunrise I saw on Maui was also moving, so next time I definitely want to see it from the summit of Mauna Kea.

星空が素晴らしいとの書き込みが多くあったので、是非見てみたいと思い参加しました。期待以上の素晴らしさで感動しました。頭上には満天の星・天の川・流れ星などまた望遠鏡で土星・スバルと見られ感動しました。山頂のサンセットも素晴らしいかった。マウイ島で見たサンライズも感動的だったので次回は是非マウナケア山頂で見てみたいと思いました。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Mauna Kea Summit

Reviewed by: William

I would not recommend this activity unless you've already done most everything else on this island. Everyone we talked to after getting back was dis-appointed. It sure isn't what I thought. First the transportation isn't very convenient. Getting to and from the pick up points should be improved. Next on the way up the mountain we stopped at a gift/visitor shop. Thats where we had a cardboard box dinner in the van. Someone else said bring a sandwich. I also recomend that. Going on up the hill. The observatories we only got to see from the outside, and was just told about them. We did watch a nice sunset at 13,780 feet of elevation. It was a nice view although I like the sunsets over the beach better. After the sun went down we left and went down to about 7000 feet elevation and they set up 11inch Celestron telescopes. Nice telescopes, i have a friend who has one. We saw several stars and clusters ect. Beautiful clear sky. Chitchen-Itza ruins in Mexico was just a clear a

I could see the Milky Way... 天の川まで見えて・・・

Reviewed by: ako

This was my first relaxing trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, where I felt the power of nature and the universe throughout my body.

It was a lucky day with a crescent moon perfect for stargazing, and I was breathless at the changing reds of nature during the sunset, the sea of clouds, and the white rainbow... And then, as soon as I got off the bus, I was greeted by a sky full of stars... I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!!"

Thanks to my hat, gloves, and warm clothing, I was able to lie on the ground and was moved to spot shooting stars...

Adapting to the high altitude of 4,200 meters was no problem at all, thanks to Mr. Ochi's guidance...

The silhouette photo of my profile looks like it was taken 40 years ago (?), and it became a wonderful memento! Thank you very much.

今回はじめての　ハワイ島のんびり旅行で　自然と　宇宙のパワーと　癒しを体中で　感じる旅でした。

　星をみるのに具合のいい三日月というラッキーデーと　雲海　白虹　　夕日の刻々と変わる自然の赤の変化に息をのむほど・・そして…・バスを降りたとたんの満点の星　星　星・・・思わずわーー！！

帽子　手袋防寒具のおかげで地面に　寝ころんで　流れ星を　見つけられた感動・・・・

UFO Parasail Adventure - Best Kona Parasailing Tour

Enjoyable

Reviewed by: First Timer

My husband, twin daughters (7) and I all tried this for our first time. We were expecting a thrill ride (which is more our taste). It was anything but a thrill, but rather peaceful and inspiring. You just float. You barely can tell that you are moving. The best part of it was seeing the whales from top side like that.

My husband and I both took a turn with a daughter in a tandem fly. They loved it as well. Something everyone should experience.

It was well worth the money. You definately want to pay them the extra to take pictures. We went up the extra feet and also chose to do the "free fall". Neither of which was scary, but enjoyable. I may consider doing it again but would only be determined on what we could see from that vantage point.

I definitely think you should participate in the Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. This tour allows you to observe the stars from a higher location than the Onizuka Center, so you can enjoy it without being with other tour guests, and you can clearly see the Milky Way, which I highly recommend.

Since we stayed at a B&B, we were supposed to be picked up at a designated supermarket, and after the tour, we were supposed to be the first ones dropped off. However, the guide mistakenly went to the hotel first, which delayed our return home by 30 minutes. I believe the other participants who were dropped off after us were delayed by over an hour.

We had been sightseeing around the island with a rental car before the tour, so I regretted not speaking up earlier when I noticed something was off. The tour itself was enjoyable, so it's unfortunate. The bento box with Japanese food and miso soup was delightful. It was also helpful that they provided pants for warmth, as we were the only ones with them. I'm glad I participated since you can't go to Mauna Kea on your own.

マウナケアのサンセットと星空ツアーには絶対に参加すべきだと思います。
こちらのツアーはオニヅカセンターよりも高い場所で星空を観察するので他のツアー客と一緒にならずに、ゆったりとでき、天の川もハッキリと見れてオススメです。
私達はＢ＆Ｂ宿泊だったので指定されたスーパーでピックアップしてもらい、ツアー後は最初に送ってもらえるはずだったのですが、ガイドさんが間違って先にホテルに行っていまい帰宅時間が３０分も遅くなりました。
私達の後に送ってもらう他の参加者さんは１時間以上も遅くなったと思います。
ツアー参加までにレンタカーで島内観光していたので途中でおかしいと思っていたので早めにアピールすべきだったと後悔･･･ツアー自体は楽しかったので残念です。
お弁当は和食にお味噌汁が嬉しかったです。
防寒着もズボンがあるのはこちらだけだったので助かりました。
マウナケアには個人では行けないので参加して良かったです。

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

It was a delicious lunch! おいしいランチでした！

Reviewed by: ゆきりん

We participated with our elementary school child, making three of us.
Snorkeling in a beautiful cove.
The kids were thrilled to jump into the sea from a slide on the boat.
For lunch, they grilled hamburgers right there, and we got to make our own burgers.
Freshly grilled was definitely delicious.
Since we could only play for a little over two hours, I wish we could have stayed a bit longer.

小学生の子供を連れて3人で参加しました。
きれいな入り江でのシュノーケル。
船から滑り台で海に飛び込めたりするので、子供は大喜びでした。
ランチは、その場でハンバーグをジュ―ジュ―焼いて、ハンバーガーを作ってくれます。
焼きたてはやっぱり美味しかったです。
時間的に2時間ちょっとしか遊べないので、もう少し長く滞在出来たら良かったと思います。

Wonderful! 素晴らしい！

Reviewed by: おおつか

This was my first time participating and I went alone. Before going, I was a bit anxious about attending by myself, but the guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was very entertaining, and the tour was fantastic! On the day of the tour, the rainbow was stunning, and since the stargazing was conducted at a location conveniently close to the summit, there were no clouds obscuring the stars at all. Mr. Yamamoto's knowledge about Hawaii is incredible! (By the way, he mentioned that people observing at the Onitsuka Center that day couldn't see well due to the clouds.) The sunset at the summit was different from other tours, as they provided us with warm clothing, gloves, and knit hats, which made me very satisfied. Next time, I definitely want to join this tour with friends and family.

初参加で一人参加でした。
行く前は1人で参加する事に少々不安でしたが、ガイドをしていただいた山本さんがとても面白く、ツアーは最高でした！
当日は虹が最高に見え天体観測もこちらのツアーだけは頂上に程よく近い場所で行った為に、雲で星が隠れるような事は一切無かったです。
しかし山本さんのハワイに関する知識はすごい！！
（ちなみにこの日オニツカセンターで観測された人は雲で良く見えなかったとしきりにおっしゃっていました。）
頂上でのサンセットは、他のツアーと違い、上下の防寒具や手袋・ニット帽まで貸し出ししていただいたので、大変満足です。
今度は友達や家族と是非このツアーに参加したいです。
