6名限定！ハワイ島　野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー＜午前／英語ガイド／軽食付＞

I was able to get close to the dolphins! イルカに近づけた！

Reviewed by: AKKIE.O

This was my second dolphin swim on the Big Island, and this time I challenged myself with an English guide. I arrived just in time and was told, "Park the car quickly! Quickly!" I didn't even know where to park, and the first place I stopped was for boat towing, so I ended up parking on the street. There was also a Japanese couple who seemed to be getting scolded in the same way.

Last time, I brought my own gear, but this time I rented a mask and fins. I think I misunderstood some of the instructions; I heard that we shouldn't chase or touch the dolphins, just hold onto the float and watch, and not to splash with the fins. However, once I got into the water, I was scolded with "quickly!" and I desperately tried to swim towards the dolphins, but in the end, I was told, "You are like a turtle," and I was exhausted. However, in the end, I was able to swim with many dolphins, and on the way back, they provided fruit and showed us places that we couldn't see by car.

There were many people snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, but the water was very clear, and there were plenty of fish, which was satisfying. Last time, there was a Japanese guide, but there were many people, and it was quite chaotic. This time, there were only two of us, so I was able to fully enjoy the dolphin swim.

From this experience, I learned:
- If there is no transportation provided, I should confirm the availability of parking.
- Even with experience, I shouldn't respond with just a vague understanding when guided in English.
- Snorkelers should bring their own gear.

These may seem like obvious points, but since it was my second time participating, I had underestimated some aspects. Please be careful when you participate.

２回目のハワイ島でのドルフィンスイム、今回は英語ガイドに挑戦。到着がギリギリになってしまい、「早く車停めてきて、quickly！quickly！」どこに停めるかもわからず、一度停めたところはボートの牽引用で、路駐する形で停めました。同じように怒られてる日本人のカップルもいました。
前回は自分の道具を持って行ったのですが、今回はマスク、フィンはレンタルをしました。私が何となくの理解で返事をしていたのが悪かったのですが、イルカを見つけても、追ってはいけない、触ってはいけない、浮き具につかまって見るだけ、フィンをばたばたさせない、など説明は聞き取れていたように思ったのですが、いざ海に入ってみると、「quickly！」と責め立てられ、一生懸命イルカのほうに向かっていったのですが、挙句の果てには「あなたはカメね」といわれ、ヘロヘロになってしまいました。ですが、最後にはたくさんのイルカと泳ぐことができ、帰りのボートではフルーツのサービスや、ラバチューブなど車では見れないようなところも案内してくれました。ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングはたくさんの人がいましたが、透明度の高い海で魚もたくさんおり、満足のいくものでした。前回は日本語ガイドでしたが人数も多く、かなりワチャワチャしてましたが、今回は二人だけだったので、ドルフィンスイムも満喫できました。
今回の学びとしては、
・送迎なしの場合、駐車場の有無は確認すべき。
・経験があっても、英語ガイドで何となくの理解で返事をしてはいけない。
・シュノ―ケラーは自分の道具をもっていくべし。
当たり前のことではありますが、2回目の参加ということで、甘く考えてたところもありました。参加の際にはお気を付けくださいませ。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Kayaking adventure for sure!

Reviewed by: Laurie

Overall, a beautiful adventure on the ocean. A few comments:

1 - waiting area prior to launching kayaks is full of mosquitoes and my children received many bites
2 - if you are not with a partner and have to go in a single kayak vs. tandem, know this is extra work as simply you don't have 4 arms paddling :-)
3 - the resting spot before heading back to the boat dock requires you to "climb" up a volcanic rock to have your snack/water - make sure you have proper water/outdoor shoes on as you will need that traction to climb up and then walk amongst the rocks; this applies to attire as well as my girls had bikini bottoms on and it was difficult to sit on the rocks with just their bikini bottoms and no towels etc (we did not know we would be stopping at that rock nor climbing up it so hence did not bring anything)
4 - this adventure is going up and back from the boat dock vs. being picked up after a one way paddle

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

Participated with my 6-year-old and 9-year-old sons. 6歳、9歳男子を連れて参加

Reviewed by: プクナオ

I chose this plan because other tour companies didn't offer the opportunity for my 6-year-old child to enter the sea and see manta rays.

It was wonderful to see the manta rays flipping in the air up close, and I was satisfied with this precious experience. The surfboat had a blue light that attracted plankton in the center, and there were ropes around the surfboat for participants to hold onto. While holding onto the rope and peering into the water, we could see manta rays coming to eat the plankton drawn in by the blue light.

We headed to the point from Honokohau Harbor on a speedboat, which was incredibly fast and bumpy. My 6-year-old was really scared at first and clung to me. It seemed like they finally got a little used to it just before we arrived at the point. They said it would take about 20 minutes to reach the point, but it felt longer. The speed was so fast that the front of the boat would hop up and down, making it feel like a roller coaster, which was scary even for me as an adult. The manta rays were very impressive, and my children are saying they want to participate again.

6歳の子供が、海に入ってマンタを見られるのが他のツアー会社にはなかったので、こちらのプランを申し込みました。

マンタの宙返りを間近で見られたのは、とても良かったし、貴重な経験ができたので満足です。サーフボートの中央にプランクトンを集めるブルーライトがついていて、サーフボートの周りに参加者がつかまる用のロープが付いています。そのロープにつかまりながら、海の中を覗くと、ブルーライトに引き寄せられたプランクトンを食べにマンタがやってくるスタイルです。

ホノコウハーバーから、スピードボートでポイントに向かうのですが、凄いスピードかつ、揺れも凄いので6歳の子供は初めはすごく怖がって、私にしがみついていました。ポイントに着く直前位にやっと少し慣れたようでした。ポイント到着まで大体20分と言うことでしたが、もっと長かったように思います。スピードが早くてボートの先端がホッピングするように浮いたり着水したりするので、ジェットコースターに乗っているような感覚で、大人の私も怖かったです。マンタ、とても感動したので、子供達はまた参加したいと言っています。

ハワイ島 サーフィンレッスン　カハルウビーチパークで波乗り体験！マンツーマンのプライベートレッスンもあり＜英語インストラクター／現地集合＞

First surfing! 初のサーフィン！

Reviewed by: meg

I participated with my two high school daughters as a family of four. Although it was a group lesson, it turned out to be just our family since there were only four of us. We met on-site, and since we were staying in Keauhou, it was convenient to have both the beach and the office nearby.

First, we went to the office at 8:00 for an explanation and some preliminary practice, and then we made our way to the beach on our own. The beach was about a five-minute walk from the office. When we arrived, two instructors were waiting for us, and they taught the four of us. We took turns surfing in pairs, while the others rested by holding onto a float. The friendly lady who explained everything and the two instructors mentioned they were siblings or cousins and that they were doing this as a family.

Everything was in English, but we had no problem participating. I think their names were Jacob, John, and Tiffany. They were very friendly and cheerful. My daughters seemed to have so much fun that they even expressed a desire to surf again.

高校生の娘2人連れて4人家族で参加しました。
グループレッスンとは言っても4人いたからか、私達家族だけの参加でした。
現地集合解散です。ケアウホウに宿泊していたので、ビーチもオフィスも近くて便利でした。
まず8:00にオフィスに行き、説明を受けて事前練習をしていざ、ビーチまではまた自走。オフィスから5分くらいのビーチです。着いたらイントラ2人が待機していて2人で4人をレッスンしてくれました。だいたい2人ずつ交互に波乗りする感じ。その間は浮きにつかまって休憩。説明してくれたお姉さんやイントラのお兄さん2人は兄弟やいとこで家族でやってるって言ってました。全部英語だけど、別に問題なく参加できました。
ジェイコブとジョンとティファニーだったかな。
とてもフレンドリーで陽気な方達でした。
娘たちもサーフィン欲しいと言い出すくらい楽しかったようです。

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

Checking the lunar age is important. 月齢のチェックが大切です

Reviewed by: kazu

I can't forget the perfect starry sky I saw about 12 years ago when I participated in a tour, so I chose this tour again without hesitation.

What impressed me first was the guide Matsuzaki's talk, which was so lively that it was more entertaining than comedians on R1, and I was never bored.

This time, I participated in the tour without checking the moon phase, so the number of stars visible to the naked eye was considerably fewer compared to last time, which was a bit disappointing, but that was not the tour company's fault, so it couldn't be helped.

One thing I thought was very good was that the lunch box we received at the visitor center was not made of disposable materials. Seeing other tours using a lot of plastic disposable containers, I think this is a very positive initiative for going green.

Next time, I want to check the moon phase in advance and try again.

ずーっと昔(12年ほど前)にツアーに参加して観た満点の星空が忘れられず、今回も迷わずこのツアーを選びました。
まず印象的だったのはガイドの松崎さんのトークで、R1に出ている芸人さんたちにも勝るような軽快なトークで退屈することが全く有りませんでした。
今回は月齢を確認せずにツアーに参加したため肉眼で観れや星の数は前回と比べるとかなり少なく少し残念でしたがそれはツアー会社さんのせいではないので仕方のない事でした。
とても良いと思った点としてはビジターセンターで頂いたお弁当の容器が使い捨ての物では無かった事です。
他のツアーを見るとプラスチックの使い捨ての容器が多かったので、Go greenの取り組みとしてはとても良い事だと思います。
次回は事前にに月齢をチェックしてリベンジしたいと思います。

Mauna Kea Summit マウナケア山頂

Reviewed by: すばる

Near the summit of Mauna Kea, after enjoying the world-famous telescopes and watching the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds, we did some stargazing a little further down. The twilight gradually faded, and the winter Milky Way appeared beautifully.

The time for stargazing is not long, so you can't observe at your leisure. Depending on the weather, the road to the summit may be closed, which means that sunset and stargazing are not guaranteed, but the high rate of clear skies is reassuring.

As we gradually ascended from the coast to the summit over 4,000 meters high and approached the telescopes, the scenery viewed from the bus window and the guide's stories made for a memorable tour.

マウナケア山頂近くで、世界的に有名な望遠鏡群と、雲海に沈むサンセットを眺めた後、少し下った場所で、星空観測をしました。
薄明が残っている時間から徐々に暗くなり、冬の天の川がしっかり現れました。
星空観測の時間は、長くないので、じっくりと観測はできません。天気次第では山頂に至る道路が閉鎖されることもあり、サンセット＆星空観測が保証されるものではありませんが、晴天率の高さは安心材料です。
海岸沿いから徐々に高度を上げて、標高4000m超の山頂と望遠鏡群に迫っていく、バス窓から眺めた風景とガイドさんのお話が、印象に残るツアーでもありました。

Manta's somersault マンタの宙返り

Reviewed by: Kona

Seeing the manta rays perform large flips up close in the ocean was breathtaking. Many fish gathered around, creating a scene I had only seen in an aquarium. The manta rays appeared and disappeared repeatedly, and there were times when I just stared at the invisible seabed. Although it was April, the night sea was colder than I had imagined (renting a wetsuit was the right choice). I'm not a strong swimmer and was a beginner at snorkeling, so I was a bit tired towards the end, but I enjoyed it until the very last moment. It was also great that the staff who spoke Japanese provided solid support.

海の中で間近でマンタが大きく宙返りする姿は圧巻でした。魚もたくさん集まってきて水族館の中でしか見たことの無い景色が広がりました。
マンタは、現れたり消えたりの繰り返しで、何も見えない海底をずっと眺めている時間もありました。また、4月でしたが夜の海は想像以上に冷えました(スエットスーツのレンタルは正解でした)。
泳ぎは得意でなく、シュノーケルも初心者だったので、後半は疲れもありましたが、最後まで楽しんできました。
日本語の通じるスタッフがしっかりサポートしてくれたことも良かったです。

The weather was perfect, and the revenge was a success! We were able to see the best views and the starry sky. 天候ばっちりでリベンジ成功！　最高の景色、星空を見られました。

Reviewed by: おにぎり

This time, I participated with a couple of friends and four seniors. A year and a half ago in Hawaii Island (December), I had signed up on-site, but it was canceled due to heavy rain the day before, so I couldn't participate. Instead, I was able to see the snow-covered white Mauna Kea (truly a white mountain)... This time, I made a reservation for the day after arriving in Hawaii Island, allowing for some flexibility. However, on the day of the tour, the bus came all the way to our accommodation to inform us that "the summit is closed due to strong winds." We were able to check the schedule on the spot and change our reservation to April 3, two days later. On the day of the reservation, our guide, Shin, came to pick us up. Since the bus was full (11 people) and we were only in the Keauhou area, we had plenty of time.

During the climb, it rained a little in the clouds, but at the 2000m Mauna Kea Park, the 2800m Visitor Center, and the 4200m summit, the weather was perfect, and we were able to see a wonderful sunset. The bento we ate on the bench at the 2800m Visitor Center wasn't as amazing as Shin said (??), but the miso soup was indeed delicious, and the high energy of our bus guide Matsuzaki was enjoyable. After the Visitor Center, there was some off-road driving, and the back seats of the bus were bouncing, making it a lot of fun.

As we climbed near the summit and saw the Subaru Telescope, our excitement soared. It seems that after sunset at the summit, we must descend within 30 minutes, so we went down to the 3800m parking area where we could see the stars. The starry sky we saw there was indescribably moving. At first, there was still some sunlight, but it gradually got darker, and more stars became visible. We were able to see shooting stars four times. Shin's explanation of the constellations was wonderful. He showed us the Orion Nebula through a telescope. After that, we took commemorative photos against the starry sky, which can be downloaded later along with other photos.

On the way up, I started to feel the thin air around 3800m, and when I bent down to put on my socks at the summit, I felt a bit dizzy, but I didn't experience any clear symptoms of altitude sickness and was able to return safely. I was blessed with the best opportunity to easily climb to 4200m and see a sky full of stars (truly!). I would love to participate again. Depending on the weather, I highly recommend it. Please do give it a try!

今回友人夫婦とシニア4人で参加しました。　1年半前のハワイ島（12月）では現地で申し込みするも、前日の大雨で中止になり参加できませんでした。　その代わり積雪のある白いマウナケア（まさに白い山）を拝めましたが...　今回は事前に余裕をみて、ハワイ島到着日の翌日に予約を入れました。ところが当日わざわざバスで宿泊地まで来ていただき「強風のため山頂は閉鎖」と伝えられたことから、その場でスケジュール確認し、2日後の4月3日に予約を変更することができました。　予約当日ガイドのシンさんがお迎えにきて、今回はケアウホウ地区のみでバスが一杯（11人）になったため時間に余裕がありました。　登る途中では雲の中で雨も少し降りましたが、2000mのマウナケアパーク、2800mのビジターセンター、4200mの山頂でも天候ばっちりで素晴らしいサンセットが見られました。　2800mのビジターセンターのベンチで食べるお弁当も、シンさんが言うほど（？？）でもなく、お味噌汁は確かにおいしく、同行したバスのガイド松崎さんのハイテンションも楽しかったです。　ビジターセンターからしばらくオフロードがあり、バスの後部座席は跳ねてはねてギャハギャハと盛り上がっていました。　山頂付近に登りスバル天文台が見えると超テンションがあがります。　山頂では日没後は30分以内に降りなければならないようで、星を見られる3800mの駐車スペースまで下ります。　そこで見た星空は感動としか言いようがないものでした。　最初は太陽の光が残っていますが、徐々に暗くなり見える星も増えてきます。　流れ星も４回見ることができました。　シンさんの星座の説明素晴らしかったです。　望遠鏡でオリオンの大星雲を見せてもらいました。　それから星空をバックに記念撮影もしてもらい、後でその他の写真と一緒にダウンロードできます。　行きは3800mあたりから空気の薄さを感じ、山頂で靴下をはこうと頭を下げたらクラッときましたが、自力での登山中のようにあきらかな酸素不足を感じることも、高山病の症状も無く無事戻ってこられました。　最高の機会に恵まれ、楽〜に4200mまで登り、満天（まさに！）の星空を見られるツアー、また参加したいです。　天候次第ですが、おすすめです。　是非チャレンジしてください。

From the moment we got into the pickup truck, our Japanese guide was non-stop talking, to the point where I thought they might get tired. Since all the participants were Japanese, the vehicle was always filled with laughter. We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed a wonderful sunset. The images taken by the guide beautifully captured the Milky Way, and everyone was amazed and gasped in surprise. I suspected I had symptoms of altitude sickness and felt a bit uncomfortable, but the sunset and starry sky made it all worthwhile.

Sudden Manta いきなりマンタ

Reviewed by: 英語が不得手な夫婦

On the way to Manta Point, we watched the sunset and saw the green flash. When we arrived at Manta Point, there were already a lot of people there, and I started to worry if manta rays would come to us with so many people around. However, as soon as we got in the water, I was surprised to find that mantas were waiting for us. It might have been the same individual, but we encountered about ten of them (instead of counting them as one or two, they count them as one ray, two rays, etc.), and I was satisfied. On the way back, the boat ride and after landing were unexpectedly dark, and especially on the boat, I struggled to find where to change because it was so dark. I recommend bringing a light.

マンタポイントに行く途中で夕日を眺めました。グリーンフラッシュが見えました。マンタポイントでは既に多数の人がいて、こんなに人がいたら、自分たちのところにマンタが来るのだろうかと不安になりましたが、入水した途端にマンタが待ち構えている状態でビックリしました。同一個体かも知れませんが１０枚くらい(１匹、２匹という代わりに１枚２枚と勘定するのだそうです）出会えて、満足でした。帰路の船中や上陸後は予想外に暗くて、特に船上で着替えがどこにあるのか暗くて分からず、苦労しました。ライト持参をお勧めします。

I'm a little disappointed, but I'm glad I participated!!! ちょっと残念↓でも参加してよかったです！！！

Reviewed by: たまちゃん

Continuing from yesterday's tour (yesterday was Kilauea), I finally made it to Mauna Kea. To be honest, I’m a sunny weather girl, so as soon as I got on the tour bus, I confidently told the guide that today would be clear and the weather wouldn’t change! I guarantee it! Everyone, it’s thanks to me~ (^_-)☆

Before heading to the summit, we had lunch at the Onizuka Visitor Center (I forgot to take a photo). This was to prevent altitude sickness. I made sure to see the Silversword, which can be seen outside the Onizuka Visitor Center. This alpine plant can only be found in Hawaii and the Himalayas, and it blooms only once every several years.

The reason I wanted to join this tour was to see the Southern Cross and the Subaru Telescope. We were about to depart for the summit. Observatories from around the world lined up. The Subaru Telescope!!

And we enjoyed the scenery until sunset♪~ As the sun set, we got in the car for stargazing at 3,800 meters!!! I chose this tour because it was the highest altitude for observation. However, I realized before leaving the Big Island (tears) that it was three days before the full moon, which means the moonlight would make it hard to see the stars... But I was told that it’s not impossible to see the stars, and the moon would be beautiful, so I was glad I participated knowing that. If you want to see a beautiful starry sky, choose a new moon!!!

Indeed, it wasn’t that the stars were completely invisible, but they were a bit hard to see... However, the moon was incredibly beautiful. I was also surprised to see several artificial satellites shining. The guide was surprised too (+o+). They taught us the positions of the constellations and even shared myths. They answered my questions, like a astronomy expert? Amazing. My question? Of course, it was, “I want to see the Southern Cross.” I was told it can be seen at dawn... Oh dear. I thought maybe I should have gone for the sunrise tour. I’ll save the sunrise for next time. Next time, during the Kona Marathon... I’ll confirm I can see it before making a reservation.

This time, I stayed in Hilo with the sole intention of joining this tour, but I moved to Kona and returned from there.

I was very moved because I was able to see a manta ray up close. I took motion sickness medication just in case, so I was fine, but my daughter got seasick, and the return trip was tough. It took a long time to get to the manta rays, and coincidentally, the waves were high that day, and the next time slot was canceled. If the waves are calm, maybe you wouldn't need the medication? Since it was right in front of the Sheraton Hotel, I thought it might be better for those who get seasick to watch from the hotel. I definitely recommend the manta ray tour that you can only experience on the Big Island.

まじかでマンタが見れたので、とても感動しました。
私は念のために酔い止め薬を飲んでいましたから、大丈夫でしたが、
娘は船酔いして、帰りが大変でした。マンタの所までが時間が長く、たまたま
その日は波が高く、次の時間帯は欠航になりましたから、波が穏やかならば？
薬は要らないかも？
シェラトンホテルの目の前でしたから、船酔いする人は、ホテルから見た方が良いかなと思いました。
ハワイ島でしか出会えないマンタツアーは是非お勧め致します。

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

Even if the weather is nice, there are times when you can't see the sunset... So, please have a backup plan ready. 天気がよくてもサンセットがみられない、、、ということもある。その後のプランを用意しておいてほしい。

Reviewed by: はなかんざし

It was a nice day today!

First, we were at the last hotel for pickup, and I ended up sitting in the back row. This remained unchanged until the end, which was puzzling. Usually, in such tours, you would expect to change seats for the return trip, and I thought the last pickup location would be the first drop-off, so I assumed I would sit in the front. Moreover, there was clearly an elderly person with us, which was a disappointing point.

The weather was great all the way to Mauna Kea. The lunch was a bento box with miso soup, and it was delicious. The cocoa after the meal was also a nice touch. It was cold up there, so I borrowed a jacket and pants to wear on the bus as we headed to the summit. (Honestly, it was a bit sad for the elderly person to sit in the back of the cramped bus.)

After overcoming rough roads, we finally reached the summit!!

Or so I thought, but the ranger told us to turn back... Why? It turned out the wind was strong, it was getting colder, and the road was freezing. We hurriedly took photos at the summit and began our descent. While that was understandable, I was waiting to take sunset photos somewhere, but to my surprise, we had already descended to 2000 meters and it was already sunset. We couldn't even take a photo of the Earth's shadow with just a brief explanation.

Then we climbed back up to Mauna Kea for stargazing. The stargazing itself was good.

I thought this tour title should be canceled, and I wondered if we would receive a ticket to retry within two years, but I was told that we wouldn't receive one after going to Mauna Kea. But we didn't get to see the sunset, did we?

What was even more disappointing was that we could download the photos taken after the tour, but another vehicle from the same company had taken photos of the sunset and the Earth's shadow... Our group had none, and the other photos taken were also lacking.

When I participated in a similar tour of the Grand Circle before, the guides were very knowledgeable about photography and took great pictures, so I might have had high expectations. However, the photography skills this time were disappointing.

Since this was a well-regarded Japanese company, I might have expected too much, but I believe that having better care prepared for situations where the sunset couldn't be captured would enhance overall satisfaction and make it more acceptable. I hope for improvements.

今日はいい天気！という日に参加しました。

まず最後のピックアップのホテルだったのですが、
最後列に座ることに。そしてこれは最後まで変わらなかったのは
なぞでした。
通常こういうツアーだといきと帰りは座る場所を変えたりすると
思いますし、普通最後のピックアップ場所は、最初のドロップオフなので
一番前に座るのかと思ってました。
しかもどう考えても最高齢者が一緒にいたのですが、、これは残念ポイント。

とってもいい天気でオニヅカまで。
お弁当は幕の内弁当とお味噌汁で、おいしかったです。
食後のココアもうれしかった。
ここで寒いので上着とズボンを貸していただき、
着用してバスにのって山頂を目指します。
（狭いバスの中、最高齢者が後ろに座るのは正直ちょっとかわいそうです）

悪路を超えてようやく頂上！！

と思ったら、レンジャーが戻れ、と、、、、。
なぜ？と思ったら風がつよくてさらに寒くなり道路が凍結するから。
とのこと。
頂上の写真をあわただしくとって下山。
それは仕方ないのですが、
どこかでサンセットの写真をとるのかとまっていたら、
まさかの2000メートルまで下がった上にすでに日没。
地球の影も簡単に説明だけで写真撮影できず。

そして再度星空観測のため、オニヅカまでのぼりました。
星空観測自体はよかったです。

これはツアータイトル不催行だな、と思って、よくここで書かれている
二年以内に再チャレンジの券をもらえるのかと思ったら、
オニヅカまでいったらもらえないとのこと。
でもサンセットみれてないのに？と思いました。

さらに残念だったのは、
写真をとっていただいたものを
ツアー後、ダウンロードさせてもらえるのですが、
もう一台行った同じ会社の車は、日没も地球の影も一緒に写真を
とっている、、、、。
私たちのグループはないうえに、他のとった写真もいまひとつ。

以前グランドサークルのこういうツアーに参加したときは
写真の撮り方もとてもガイドさんたちは詳しくて、
本当に上手にとってくださったので
それを期待していたのかもしれませんが、
写真の技術も残念でした。

日系で評判がいい会社だったので期待しすぎたのかもしれませんが、
もう少しサンセットがとれなかったときのケアを考えて用意しておく
ほうが、トータルの満足感もあがるし、納得できると思います。
改善を希望します。

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

Sunset sinking into the sea of clouds and stargazing. 雲海に沈む夕日と天体観測

Reviewed by: ななさん

Before participating in this tour, I was concerned about altitude sickness and the weather. To counter altitude sickness, we had dinner at the Onizuka Center, located at an elevation of about 2800m, which also helped with acclimatization. (The Hawaiian-style Japanese bento and warm miso soup were delicious!) After that, we headed towards the summit, and even after we set off, they kindly taught us how to breathe deeply, allowing us to avoid any symptoms of altitude sickness and enjoy the journey without issues.

Regarding the weather, it had been unstable recently, with stars sometimes visible and sometimes not, but fortunately, the day we participated was perfect! (In fact, the conditions were excellent!) Looking up from the base, there were clouds on the mountain, but apparently, this is a daily occurrence. When you think about it, we were climbing up to 4200m, which is quite high...

From the summit, we were able to see a beautiful sunset over the sea of clouds. After enjoying the sunset at the top, we descended a bit and did some stargazing. As it got darker, more and more stars appeared, and we even spotted 2 or 3 moving satellites during that time. The sunlight was reflecting well, and there was a breeze, making for excellent conditions. I've heard that the summer night sky is even more amazing, but I can't imagine how much more beautiful it could be than what we experienced! The guide used a pointer to explain things in a fun and engaging way, allowing us to learn more about astronomy.

While weather can be unpredictable, it turned out to be the best moment for us.

このツアー参加前に気になった事は高山病と天気について。
高山病対策は途中の標高2800m付近のオニヅカセンターにて高地順応を兼ね夕飯のお弁当を食べました。(このハワイアンチックな和風弁当＆温かい味噌汁は美味でした！)その後、山頂へ向かい出発してからも、丁寧に深呼吸の仕方を教えてもらい、道中高山病の症状も出ず問題なく過ごせました。
天気についても、ここ最近は不安定な天気で星空が見えたり見えなかったり、との事でしたが、私達が参加した日は幸いなことに問題ありませんでした。(と言うか、絶好のコンディション！)麓から上を見上げると山に雲が掛かっていますが、これは毎日のことらしい。考えてみれば、それよりも高い4200mまで登るんですよね。。
山頂からは雲海から沈む大変キレイな夕日が臨めました。山頂でサンセット堪能後、少し下に降りそこから天体観測。暗くなるにつれて星がどんどん多くなり、その最中に動く人工衛星も2〜3機確認できました。今日は太陽の反射光もよくあたり風もありで、絶好のコンディションだったようです。夏場の星空はもっとスゴいとのことですが、これ以上の星空ってどうなっちゃうの？？という程キレイな星空でした。夜空についてもポインターを使い面白おかしく説明していただき、天体について改めて学ぶ事が出来ました。
天候の運不運もあるのでしょうが、私達にとって最高のひと時となりました。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

A trip not to miss!

Reviewed by: Gordon

Our driver and tour guide was outstanding. We learned a great deal about volcanoes and stars.
There were so many highlights to this trip: excellent veggie lasagne, watched a beautiful sunset from above the clouds, and telescope star gazing. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

I think it's just right for easily experiencing the sea and nature of the Big Island of Hawaii. 手軽にハワイ島の海と自然を感じるには程良いと思います

Reviewed by: anke1969

Sea kayaking typically accommodates two people per kayak. Since you paddle about 4 miles at a decent speed, I think less powerful individuals, like women, might get quite tired.

The cliff jump from a height of 10 meters (optional) was an unexpected experience, but the other activities like exploring the caves (just a little way into the entrance) and snorkeling (only for 10 minutes, close to shore and not particularly rich in fish) felt somewhat lackluster.

It was disappointing that we couldn't take any photos because we were told not to bring anything that could get wet, including smartphones, which were collected in a storage box. I think it would have been nice if the guide could have taken some photos for us.

シーカヤックは基本一艇に二人で乗ります。それなりのスピードでトータル4マイルほど漕ぐので非力な女性などはそれなりに疲れると思います。
10ｍの高さからのクリフジャンプ(希望者のみ)は予想外の体験でしたがその他の洞窟(入り口付近にちょっと入るだけ)やシュノーケリング(10分間のみ、岸からも近く特に魚影が濃い訳でもなくどこでも体験出来る内容)は中途半端な感じはしました。
濡れて困るものは一切持って行くなという事でスマホなども保管箱に回収されてしまったので何も写真が撮れなかったのが残念です。であればせめてガイドが写真を撮ってくれても良いと思います。

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

Everyone has fun! みんなで楽しい！

Reviewed by: momojun

As the reviews mentioned, everything was in English, but it's a tour where you hardly need to converse, so I think even those who are not confident can participate. I mentioned that I was a beginner, but we got into the kayak and suddenly paddled out to sea. Surprisingly, it was quite stable, and there was no risk of capsizing in the ocean. The sea cave was a bit different from what I imagined, but paddling out into the vast ocean was a fun experience. After snorkeling, the guide passed us pineapples, snacks, and drinks via the kayak. It was fun to connect the kayaks with a rope and pass the bag around. On the way back, we ended up drifting away from the group, and the guide tied a rope to my kayak and pulled me back. I applied sunscreen, but since the weather was nice, I recommend bringing it on the kayak and reapplying it several times.

口コミ通りすべて英語でしたが、ほぼ会話の必要のないツアーですので
自信のない方も参加可能かと思います。
初心者と伝えましたが、とりあえずカヤックに乗り込みいきなり海に漕ぎ出しました。
意外と安定感があり海でも転覆するようなことはありません。
シーケーブは想像とちょっと違いましたが、とにかく大海原へのカヤック漕ぎは楽しい経験となりました。
シュノーケリングの後は、ガイドさんがパイナップルやスナック、ドリンクをカヤックつてで渡してくれます。カヤックをロープでつないでみんなで袋を回していく感じで楽しいです。
戻る時には群れからどんどん離れてしまい、ガイドさんのカヤックにロープにつないでひっぱってくれました。
日焼け止めを塗ってましたが、天気がよくカヤックに持ち込み何度か塗りなおすことをお勧めします。
