A breathtaking tour of the natural beauty and starry skies of the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島の大自然と星空　感動のツアー！

Reviewed by: KOPE&桜姫

I once experienced altitude sickness while climbing a mountain, so I was a bit worried, but thanks to acclimatization, I was able to enjoy the sunset in perfect condition without any health issues.

The sunset above the clouds, with a blanket of snow in Hawaii, was truly beautiful and left me speechless with emotion. Watching the starry sky while receiving explanations made it even more enjoyable and sparked my imagination.

Above all, it was a magnificent starry sky. I was very satisfied with the tour, especially since I got to take many photos with the stars that I couldn't capture myself.

(I was quietly moved by the star-themed music selection in the car on the way back.) I would love to participate again in the summer. Thank you very much.

一度山登りの際に高山病になったことがあり、少し心配していましたが、順応のお陰か全く体調を崩すことなく最高のコンディションでサンセットを見ることができました。
ハワイでの一面の雪と見る、雲の上からのサンセットは本当に綺麗で、言葉に出来ない程の感動でした。星空は解説を交えながら見ることで、より想像力も膨らみ楽しめました。
何より、満点の素晴らしい星空でした。
自分では撮れない、星空との写真等々も沢山撮っていただき、大満足のツアーでした。
(帰りの車内での星関連の選曲、静かに1人感動していました。)また次は、夏に参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

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

4200 meters. The sunset in the sky and the snowy Mauna Kea, it was a dreamlike world. ４２００メートル。天空の夕日と雪のマウナケア、夢の世界でした。

Reviewed by: あんみつ姫

On February 1st, two women in their 60s participated in the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour." We were picked up at the hotel at 1 PM, and the weather was unstable that day. According to our guide, it was raining at the Onizuka Center, so we quickly had dinner at Mauna Kea Park. It was still just after 4 PM, and we weren't very hungry, but the Japanese-style bento and warm miso soup after several days were so delicious that we finished them quickly. We appreciated the thoughtful gesture of providing towels for everyone to sit on the park benches. As we drove up, feeling anxious about whether we would make it to the top, the rain stopped, and the sun peeked out, as if our prayers were answered. It turned out that the gate closed right after we passed through. We were lucky.

At the summit, there was a lot of snow, and the wind was very strong, but the view of the sea of clouds and the sunset from 4,200 meters felt like being in another world, making us forget the cold as we were captivated by the scenery. I heard that snow on Mauna Kea is only present at this time of year, which filled my heart with emotion. I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but by following the guide's instruction not to run, all 11 participants that day were in good spirits. The temperature dropped, and due to road freezing, unfortunately, we had to go down to 2,800 meters for stargazing. Even though I borrowed ski wear, my fingers were numb at 4,200 meters, but I didn't feel cold once we descended to 2,800 meters. We were shown Venus and a crescent moon through a telescope, and then Mr. Ichikawa gave a stargazing presentation. Using an excellent laser pointer that clearly indicated stars and constellations in all directions, he taught us in a very easy-to-understand and enjoyable way. I was amazed by Mr. Ichikawa's depth of knowledge about stars. I was delighted to see Orion's sword clearly, which is not often visible in Japan. I heard that the Southern Cross can also be seen at midnight. It was a very satisfying tour, and I’m really glad I participated. If you go to the Big Island, I highly recommend Mauna Kea.

2/1　６０代のおばさん２人で、「マウナケア山頂サンセットと星空ツアー」に参加しました。午後1時にホテルでピックアップ、不安定な空模様の日でした。オニヅカセンターは、雨が降っているとのガイドさんの話で、下のマウナケアパークで急きょ夕食を食べました。まだ４時過ぎで、おなかはあまりすいていませんでしたが、何日かぶりの日本食の幕の内弁当と、温かい味噌汁がとても美味しくて、ぺろっと食べてしまいました。公園のベンチのイスの上に敷くタオルまで、全員分用意してくださって、気づかいに感謝です。上まで行けるのだろうかと不安な気持ちを乗せて車が走っていると、祈りが通じたのか雨も上がり、太陽が顔を出してくれました。なんと、私達が通過したすぐ後にゲートクローズになったそうです。ラッキーでした。山頂は、雪がたくさんあり
風もとても強かったですが、４２００メートルからの雲海や夕日が沈んでいく景色は、別世界にいるようで、寒さも忘れて見入ってしまいました。雪のあるマウナケアは、いまの時期だけだと聞いて、胸がいっぱいになりました。高山病がちょっと心配でしたが、「走らないように」とのガイドさんの指示を守ったら、当日の参加者１１人全員元気でした。気温も下がり、路面凍結とのことで、残念ながら星空観察は２８００メートルまで下りて行いました。スキーウエアを借りていても、４２００メートルでは指がかじかんでいましたが、２８００メートルまで下がると寒さを感じませんでした。金星と半月を望遠鏡で見せていただき、そのあとは市川さんの星空解説会。遠くまではっきり示せる性能バツグンのレーザーポインターを使って、東西南北に見える星と星座をとてもわかりやすく、楽しく教えてくれました。市川さんの星の知識の深さにビックリでした。日本ではよく見えないオリオンの剣まではっきり見え、嬉しくなりました。夜中には、南十字星も見えるそうです。大満足のツアーです。参加できて本当に良かったです。ハワイ島に行ったら、絶対マウナケアおすすめです。

The blue sky, sea of clouds, and sunset from an altitude of 4,200 meters. A perfect starry sky and the Milky Way. It became one of my best memories. 標高4,200ｍからの青空、雲海、サンセット。満点の星空と天の川。最高の思い出の一つになりました。

Reviewed by: katagi

I participated in this tour on January 26, 2020. Although it was cloudy at the start, the clouds cleared at the summit, and we were blessed with good weather. The view from the highest point of my life, with the snowy mountains, blue sky, and sea of clouds, was amazing, and the sunset gradually sinking was the best. The stargazing afterward was also impressive, as it was only a few days past the new moon, allowing us to clearly see the Milky Way and satellites. I couldn't capture the night sky well with my own camera, but there was a service to download photos taken by the guide, which allowed me to feel moved again when I viewed them later.

Additionally, our guide, Tomo, helped us secure good spots by acting promptly and reminded participants to take deep breaths and move slowly, which allowed us to enjoy the experience without suffering from altitude sickness. The explanations included not only the scenery and stars but also various stories about life in Hawaii, making it a truly wonderful half-day experience. I look forward to visiting Hawaii again!

20年1月26日に本ツアーに参加しました。
出発時は雲がかかっていたものの、昇るにつれて山頂の雲は晴れ、良い天気に恵まれました。人生最高到達地点で見る景色は、雪山と青空と雲海のセットが素晴らしく、徐々に沈んで行く夕陽も最高でした。その後の星空観測も、新月から数日しか経っていなかった事も手伝い、天の川や人工衛星もくっきり見え、感動的でした。自分のカメラでは星空は上手く撮れませんでしたが、ガイドさんが撮影して下さった写真をダウンロード出来るサービスがあり、後日それを見る事で、改めて感動出来ました。
また、ガイドのトモさんが、早め早めの行動をする事で良い場所が取れたり、参加者には深呼吸やゆっくり動く事を何度も注意して下さったお陰で高山病になる事もなく楽しめました。説明も、景色や星の説明だけでなく、ハワイの生活についての色々な話しもして下さり、とても素晴らしい半日となりました。またハワイに行く時は宜しくお願いします！

Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Colin

We found this trip rather disappointing. It was supposed to last for an hour but we returned to the pier after 50 minutes. In the event we had probably seen all there was to see after 20 minutes. You see rather dull brown/grey coral, some small blue and yellow fish and some sea urchins - No wrays or sharks or anything unusual. In fact the guide started to describe the history of the buildings on the shoreline as we headed back. Not worth the money.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour was amazing! ✨ マウナケア山頂サンセット&星空観測ツアー最高✨

Reviewed by: YOKO

The road to the summit of Mauna Kea suddenly opened at the end of last year, giving us another chance to visit the summit. We never know when it might close again, so don't miss this opportunity! I absolutely recommend it!

The summit still has snow. What you see in the foreground is snow, and beyond that is the sea of clouds. The sun sinking into the sea of clouds at sunset is an indescribable experience. I felt the vastness of the Earth and its vitality. The guide takes wonderful sunset photos for you.

And then there's stargazing at the base of the mountain. Here too, the guide takes fantastic photos with the starry sky as the backdrop. They even show you the moon through a telescope, and you can see the craters clearly✨

The conversation is enjoyable, and the guide's photography skills are excellent. This was my second time participating, and each time the satisfaction is 200%.

The summit of Mauna Kea is a special sacred place for the locals. I highly recommend it to everyone!!

マウナケア山頂までの道路が昨年末に突然Openし、また山頂へ行けるチャンスをいただけました。いつまたCloseされてしまうか分からないです。このチャンスを逃さないように！絶対おすすめします！

雪が残る山頂。手前に見えるのは雪で、その奥が雲海です。雲海に沈んでいく太陽と夕陽。言葉では言い現せない感動です。地球の大きさと生命力を感じました。ガイドさんが素晴らしい夕陽の写真を撮って下さいます

そして山麓での星空観測。ここでもまたガイドさんが星空をバックにステキな写真を撮って下さいます。望遠鏡で月も見せてくれ、クレーターまでハッキリクッキリ見えます✨

トークも楽しいですし、カメラ技術が素晴らしいガイドさんでした。2回目の参加でしたが、毎回満足感は200%です

マウナケア山頂は、現地の方にとって特別な聖霊な場所。是非皆さんにおすすめします！！

On January 29, my spouse and I participated in the Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour. It was our first time on the Big Island, and Mauna Kea was a place we definitely wanted to visit. The tour started with a pickup at 1:45 PM from our accommodation at Kings Land! Our guide, Masa, was kind and explained everything thoroughly, which made us feel at ease during the tour. The warm miso soup and bento we had at the Onizuka Center were very delicious. The choice of music to prevent drowsiness during the altitude sickness measures was excellent! We were energized and had no drowsiness as we reached the summit! We were blessed with good weather, and the sunset from the top was incredibly romantic, allowing us to truly feel the grandeur of the Big Island! The starry sky, which felt like we could reach out and touch it, was beautiful and left us in awe. Masa's explanations about the stars opened up a world we had never known before, doubling our excitement! The photo service provided by our guide captured moments we couldn't have taken ourselves, and we got many shots in our desired poses. Downloading those photos brought us even more joy! This tour to Mauna Kea is highly recommended!

キャプテン・クック号　サンセット・ディナークルーズ ＜夕食・カクテル1杯付き／カイルアピア発＞

Super lucky! 超ラッキー！

Reviewed by: まりん

The boat sways quite a bit, so at first, it's hard to walk, but during meal times, we anchor offshore, so you can relax. Moreover, at that time, a manta ray and many dolphins gathered around. I think they must have liked the singing. I can't remember the name, but there was a singer with the most beautiful voice singing live the whole time, and songs that felt very Hawaiian, which was truly soothing.
There was also a vegan menu, and the buffet was satisfying.

Most of the participants were from the mainland United States, and they were drinking and making a lot of noise, so even when I was trying to talk about history and the land, I couldn't hear it next to me. But overall, it was the best cruising experience. If you can't speak English, it might feel long and confusing as you won't know what's happening.

It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but it was still a beautiful view. People who participated in the previous trip said they didn't encounter anything, so we were really lucky on our trip.

船はかなり揺れるので、最初は歩くのもやっとだけど、食事のときは沖で停泊するので落ち着いていただけます。しかも、この時、マンタが1匹と、イルカもたくさん集まってきました。きっと、歌声が好きだったんじゃないかと思いますお名前は覚えていないけど、最高に美しい声の歌手がずっと生歌を歌っていて、ハワイっぽい曲とか、本当に癒されました。
Veganメニューもあって、ビュッフェも満足でした。

参加者がほぼアメリカ本土から来た人たちばかりで、お酒飲んで大騒ぎするので、せっかく歴史や土地の話をしているのが隣に行っても聞こえないくらいだったけど、とにかく最高のcruisingでした。英語ができないと、何が起こってるか分らなく長く感じるかもしれないけど。

あとは、夕日が少し雲に隠れてしまったのが残念だけど、それでも美しい景色でした。前の便に参加した人たちは、何も出会えなかったそうで、私たちの便は本当に幸運に恵まれました。

The best tour that moves both adults and children. 大人でも子供でも感動する最高のツアー

Reviewed by: AYK

We participated as a couple on January 19th. Our guide, Jin, was very friendly and knowledgeable. After being picked up from the hotel, we took a break and had dinner around 4:00 PM at the foot of the mountain (outdoors). The weather was relatively nice, but it felt a bit cold at that point.

The road to the summit was not well maintained, and the car shook quite a bit. It’s better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. After arriving at the summit, we took photos while watching the sunset. I participated wearing Heattech, a T-shirt, a windbreaker, and long pants, and I borrowed a down jacket and pants, which made the temperature feel just right. However, my feet got quite cold. I only wore one pair of socks, and my toes started to hurt. I regretted not wearing two pairs of socks... (Having foot warmers would have been even better.)

Around 7 PM, we did some stargazing. The night sky was overwhelmingly beautiful compared to what I’ve seen in Japan. The explanations about the stars were very detailed, and even as adults, we were satisfied with the content. After that, we descended and were taken back to the hotel after 10 PM. It was a wonderful tour that allowed us to learn more about Hawaii.

1/19夫婦で参加しました。
アテンドしてくれる仁さんはとってもフレンドリーで物知りな素敵な方でした。
ホテルピックアップ後に休憩を挟み、１６：００頃に山の麓（屋外）での夕食を取りました。比較的良いお天気でしたがこの時点で少し寒さを感じました。
その後、山頂までの道は補装されておらずかなり車が揺れます。
酔い止めは飲んで行った方がベターです。
山頂に到着後はサンセットを見ながら撮影しました。
当方、ヒートテック・Tシャツ・ウィンドブレーカー・長ズボン１枚で参加し、ダウン・ズボンをお借りし体感温度は丁度良かったです。
しかし、足元がかなり冷えます。靴下１枚だけしか履いておらず指先が痛くなりました。靴下２枚履いてくれば良かった。。。と反省。（足元カイロがあれば尚よしと言った感じです）
そして１９時頃天体観測をしました。
日本で見る星空よりも圧倒的な綺麗さでした。
かなり詳しく星の説明をしてくださり、大人の私達でも満足できるような内容でした。
その後下山し２２時過ぎにホテルへ送っていただきました。
ハワイの事をより知れた素敵なツアーでした。

The best starry sky I’ve ever seen in a perfect environment! 最高の環境で見れた星空！

Reviewed by: あっき

From the hotel pickup, we took a break for altitude acclimatization twice, and everyone in the car was in perfect condition. The explanations about the Big Island during the journey included basic information as well as insights that only locals would know, which broadened our perspective for the rest of the itinerary and made it interesting. The lunch at the Onizuka Visitor Center was described as "normal taste for those coming from Japan," but I actually thought it was tastier than the bento I bought yesterday! The highlight was that there was almost no wind, and under the new moon, we got to see an incredibly bright starry sky that exceeded our expectations! If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would definitely want to join this tour once more.

ホテルのお迎えから、二回の高地順応を兼ねての休憩を入れてもらい、車中のメンバー全員が体調万全で行くことができました。
道中のハワイ島の説明も基本情報から、地元の方達しかしらない情報まで話してくださり、ツアー後の日程でも見る視点が広がり面白かったです。
オニツカビジターセンターでのお弁当も「日本からこられた方には普通～の味ですが・・・」と言われてましたが、逆に(昨日、購入したお弁当より美味しいなｗ)と思える味！
一番は風もほとんどなく、新月の中で、想像以上の明るい星空を見れて最高でした！またハワイ島に行くことがあれば、もう一度行きたいと思うツアーでした。

The sunset was breathtaking, and the starry sky was perfect☆彡 It became the best memory!!! 感動のサンセット・満点の星空☆彡最高の思い出になりました！！！

Reviewed by: はしも

My first trip to the Big Island was with my husband, and since we rented a car, we initially thought about going on our own, but I'm so glad we chose a tour instead!!

There are many unpaved roads leading to the summit, making it dangerous for regular passenger cars (it seems the rental car insurance doesn't cover it...), and vehicle access is restricted, so the time to leisurely watch the starry sky is limited to the tour only.

So, we went on the tour with about 10 other people, and our guide, Tomo, was very entertaining and informative! We also had a great time with everyone else, making it a wonderful memory for us, who usually travel just the two of us!

At the summit, we were able to witness a breathtaking sunset, and after the sun went down, the sky was filled with an incredible number of stars!! The explanations about the stars were also very interesting, and I think I’ll start studying astronomy from now on!!

What I especially appreciated about this tour was that the photos taken with a professional DSLR camera are available for free download!!! They took beautiful pictures of the starry sky and sunset that you can't capture with an iPhone, in various locations! It became a great memory!

Also, they provide warm clothing, so it doesn't add to your luggage! The summit is very cold, and it was a relief to borrow a proper down jacket and pants!

I highly recommend this tour when visiting the Big Island!!!

初めてのハワイ島旅行は主人とレンタカーを借りていたので、当初は自分たちで行こうかと思っていたのですが、ツアーにして本当に良かったです！！

山頂までは舗装されていない道が多い為通常の乗用車では危険(レンタカーの保険に適用されないそう・・・)、かつ車両を規制されているそうで、星空をのんびり見る時間はツアーのみに限られているそうです。

そんなわけで約10名の皆様でツアーを回ったのですが、スタッフのともさんのお話はとても面白く情報量も豊か！そして一緒に回った皆様とも楽しく過ごせ、2人だけで旅行してきた私たちにとても素敵な思い出となりました！

山頂では感動のサンセットを見ることが出来、日が沈んでからは圧巻の満点の星空！！こちらも星の解説がとても面白く、これからは星を勉強してみようと思います！！

特にこのツアーでありがたかったのは、
本格的な一眼カメラで撮影して頂いた写真がなんと無料でダウンロードできる点！！！iPhone では撮れない素敵な星空や夕焼けの写真を、いろんなところで撮影してくれます！いい思い出になりました！

そして防寒具を貸して頂けるので荷物にならない！
山頂はとても寒く、本格的なダウンとパンツをお借りでき助かります！


ハワイ島に行く際には是非おすすめのツアーです！！！

Reviewed by: さちこ

The waves were high since the day before, so I couldn't meet the manta rays. It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing I can do about it, but I would like to try again next time.

前日から波が高くてマンタに会うことができなかった。
自然の事なので仕方がないのですが、次回またチャレンジしたいと思います。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see many breathtaking views. The guide's stories were interesting, and we enjoyed our time on the bus. At the summit of Mauna Kea, we saw incredibly beautiful scenery and took wonderful photos, creating great memories. The stargazing was also enhanced by the guide's easy-to-understand explanations. The photos taken with the starry sky in the background turned out beautifully. Later, we were able to download the photos for free, making it truly the best memory. Thank you very much!

I participated in a trip to Hawaii Island for the first time, visiting the summit of Mauna Kea and stargazing. ハワイ島はじめての旅行　マウナケア山頂と星空観測に参加しました

Reviewed by: ありさ

On January 22nd, the second day of our trip to Hawaii Island, my husband and I participated in the Mauna Kea summit and stargazing tour.

We were picked up in front of our hotel at 2:15 PM. During the drive to Mauna Kea, we learned a lot about Hawaii Island.

We took several breaks along the way and had an early meal around 4 PM. It was a relaxing experience to enjoy Japanese food after a long time, including rice, simmered dishes, and fried fish, as we headed towards the summit.

We were advised that deep breathing and staying hydrated are effective for preventing altitude sickness. Thanks to this, we were able to reach the summit without feeling unwell! We were blessed with good weather, and at the summit, we were able to see a beautiful sunset, making it an unforgettable experience. The photos taken by the staff were wonderful, and I could really feel their professionalism.

Additionally, my husband and I were honestly unsure whether to go to the summit or the foothills due to concerns about altitude sickness, but we were glad we chose the summit.

We began stargazing around 7:00 PM. Although we were lent jackets, it was quite cold, so anyone heading to the summit should definitely bring warm outerwear. We were satisfied to see a sky full of stars that we can't see in Japan. The staff's guidance was very detailed and informative.

Overall, thanks to the staff's thoughtful care, we were able to create the best memories of Hawaii Island without any worries. Thank you very much.

1月22日ハワイ島旅行2日目で、私たち夫婦はマウナケア山頂&星空観測に参加しました。

14時15分にホテルの前に迎えに来て頂きました。
マウナケアに向かう道中もハワイ島についてたくさん教えて頂きました

途中、何度か休憩をしながら、16時ごろに早めの食事を頂きました。
ご飯、煮物、魚のフライの久々の日本食でリラックスしながら山頂に向けて、出発できました。

高山病予防のために、深呼吸と水分補給をするのが効果的と教えていただきました。おかげで体調も悪くなることなく登頂まで行くことができました！天候にも恵まれ、山頂では大変綺麗なサンセットが見ることができ忘れられない体験となりました。スタッフの方に撮ってもらった写真が素晴らしくさすがプロだなと感じました。

また、私たち夫婦は、高山病が心配でマウナケア山頂か山麗どちらにするか、正直迷っていましたが、山頂にしてよかったです。

19:00頃から星空観測をしました。上着を貸していただけましたがかなり寒いため、登頂される方は暖かい上着が必須です。
日本では見ることができない満天の星空を見ることができて満足です。スタッフの方のガイドもとても詳しくて勉強になりました。

全体を通して、スタッフの方の心配りのおかげで不安なことなく、ハワイ島最高の思い出を作ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

I enjoyed it twice! 二度楽しめました!

Reviewed by: 新袖ぱぱ

After the New Year, my wife and I participated in a tour to see manta rays on the Big Island. We set sail from the harbor in Kona in the evening and watched the sunset over the ocean near the airport before entering the water for snorkeling. The light illuminated the dark underwater world, creating a very magical atmosphere as we eagerly waited for the manta rays, but unfortunately, none appeared. Even though we were wearing wetsuits, it was cold at night when we got out, and our fleece jackets were very helpful.

We were informed that if we didn't see any manta rays, we could try again for free, so we later joined a dolphin watching tour on Oahu, where we were able to see dolphins while snorkeling and swim with sea turtles, which was great. Additionally, we were surprised to see two humpback whales breaching multiple times! Next time, I definitely want to see manta rays.

正月明けに、ハワイ島でマンタを見たくて家内と参加しました。
夕方コナのハーバーを出航し、空港の沖で海に沈む夕日を見てからシュノーケリングで海に入りました。暗い水中をライトが照らしてとても幻想的で、ワクワクしながらマンタを待ったのですが、結局一匹も現れませんでした。ウエットスーツを着ていても、上がると夜は寒くてフリースの防寒着が役に立ちました。
一匹も見れなかった時は無料で再チャレンジできるとの事で、私達は後日オアフ島のイルカを見るツアーに参加し、シュノーケリングで!イルカを見たり海亀と泳いだりできたので良かったです。さらにザトウクジラ2匹のブリーチングを何度も見れてビックリ!
次回は是非マンタを見たいですね。

Amazing once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Gill

What a privilege to be in the water with these magnificent, graceful creatures, the small group ( max 6) made for a very personalised tour, Keith and Cassie were so knowledgeable and passionate about the mantas, knowing them all by name! I would highly recommended this tour operator, they have a deep respect for ocean and the sea life in this beautiful part of the world while providing a fun and outstanding experience. Highly recommended.

I was really lucky to meet dolphins and whales. However, the waves were rough that day, and I got seasick... I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Great tour!

Reviewed by: Flow

We had a great time on this tour. We were able to see many different places on the island and our tour guide Awana had great knowledge of the island. The tour is a lot of driving but the van is decently comfortable and they have frequent stops to get out and stretch.

An unexpected snowy landscape and a breathtaking starry sky! まさかの雪景色と星空の絶景！

Reviewed by: たんぽぽ

Climbing a mountain over 4000 meters for the first time made me anxious, especially since I had heard that the conditions at the summit can be very harsh. However, thanks to the attentive care of our guide, everyone was able to participate without any health issues. I truly felt reassured going with a guide who knows the mountains so well. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn't see the sunset from the summit, but we were able to enjoy a breathtaking view of the sunset a little lower down, which also gave us a chance to experience the power of nature. It seems that a snowy Mauna Kea is quite rare, so perhaps we were lucky in that regard. The starry sky was like a natural planetarium, and with the interesting explanations of the constellations, I could have gazed at it forever without getting bored. It became a memorable sight. Thank you to everyone at the nature school!

初めて4000m超の山に登ること、山の上はとても過酷な環境と聞いていたこともあり、不安がありましたが、ガイドの方のきめ細やかな心配りのお陰で、誰も体調を崩すことなく、参加することができました。やはり、山のことを知り尽くしているガイドさんと行くのが安心だなぁと思いました。残念ながら今回は悪天候のため、頂上では夕陽は見られませんでしたが、少し降りたところで夕焼けの絶景を見られましたし、自然の威力を体感する機会にもなりました。雪景色のマウナケア山はとても珍しいそうなので、逆にラッキーだったのかもしれません。星空はまさに天然のプラネタリウムで、面白い星座解説と共に、いつまで眺めていても飽きることがなく、思い出に残る風景となりました。ネイチャースクールの皆さま、ありがとうございました！
