The guide was very knowledgeable in many areas, making it a fun activity. From the care provided by the guide on the way to the summit to the commemorative photos taken at the top, they paid close attention to detail. They also prepared props, allowing us to take many fun and beautiful pictures. The stargazing coincided with a total lunar eclipse, and with an easy-to-understand guide under a wonderful starry sky, it was very enjoyable.
ガイドの方がとても多方面に詳しく、楽しいアクティビティになりました。
山頂までのガイドさんのケアから、山頂での記念撮影に至るまで、細やかに気を配っていただきました。
小道具なども準備してくださっていて、とっても楽しい写真や綺麗な写真がたくさん撮れました。
天体観測もたまたま皆既月食に当たったこともあり、素晴らしい星空の下、分かりやすいガイドがつき、とても楽しかったです。

It was a great day with favorable conditions, not just in terms of the weather, but also the sunset and moonrise times. We participated as two men who came for work, but I believe it would be perfect for couples or partners. As for concerns about altitude sickness, since we drove to the summit and took our time to acclimatize, I felt a bit uncomfortable when we descended, but moving slowly was not a problem. Next time, I would like to participate with my family. I think it would be even better if it were a little cheaper (laughs).
天候だけでなく、日の入りの時間、月の出る時間など、条件に恵まれたいい日でした。我々は仕事で来た男二人での参加でしたが、夫婦・恋人での参加は間違いなしと思います☆ 高山病の心配については、車での登頂かつ酸素順応の時間もゆっくり取っていただいたためか、降りた時に違和感はありましたが、ゆっくり動けば問題なしでした。今度は家族で参加したいと思います。もう少し安ければなお良いと思います(笑)
Dear Dakao,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Sunset and Stargazing Tour. We are glad you were able to join us on a day blessed with favorable moon phases and weather.
As you mentioned, this tour is popular not only among friends but also with honeymooners and close-knit couples. In fact, there have been instances where proposals have taken place at the summit, which is higher than Mount Fuji!
We hope that when you visit the Big Island again, you will bring your loved ones along to join us. Please do come back and visit us again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

The sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea was truly wonderful with the changing colors of the setting sun. Additionally, during the stargazing, I was moved to see the Milky Way, numerous stars, and even artificial satellites flying by. This year, I was also able to take a photo of the lava from Kilauea volcano reflecting red in the clouds, which was fantastic. If you visit the Big Island, I definitely recommend stargazing.
マウナケア山頂でのサンセットは太陽の沈む色の変化がとても素晴らしかった。また、星空観測ではミルキーウェイ、数々の星、人工衛星が飛んでいるのも見れて感動しました。今年はキラウエア火山の溶岩が雲に反射して赤くなっている写真も撮っていただきとても良かったです。ハワイ島を訪れたら星空観測はぜったいおすすめします。
Dear Richio,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. In July, you were able to witness the beautifully colored sky of Fisher 8, which can no longer be seen now, making it a timely tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the stargazing experience.

We hope you will visit the Big Island again. We sincerely look forward to your return.

Due to road freezing, we were unable to reach the summit. Before the tour started, I inquired about the possibility of not being able to climb, and I was informed that there would be no cancellation fee if we canceled before the tour began, and if we couldn't climb even after starting, we would receive a coupon for the same tour. I decided to take the chance and go on the tour, but we had to turn back at the visitor center. I was satisfied with the stargazing and photography, which were conducted by experts.
道路凍結のため、山頂には、行けませんでした。ツアー開始前に登れない可能性を伺い、ツアー開始前ならキャンセル料無料である旨と開始しても登れなかった場合、同一ツアーのクーポンを貰えるとの話を頂きました。可能性にかけてツアーに行ったのですが、ビジターセンターで引き返す事となりました。星空観察と写真撮影は、専門家にしていただいたので満足しました。

Obviously the tour does not summon the whales at their leisure, but we saw honestly 10+ whales (maybe some of the same ones) over a period of an hour and a half and it was incredible. I have so many photos that I can’t wait to post on social. Regardless of actually seeing the whales, the tour was not only educational but it was a smooth ride, very fun and friendly and we even used a hydro microphone that picked up the whales talking to eachother around us. It was nothing I’ve ever heard before, they are so loud!! I would recommend the early trip for any older folks (we took my grandma who is 78) and/or any easily motion sick people. Overall completely worth the price and waking up “early” on vacation.

Four years ago, I went to the summit of Mauna Kea, but due to bad weather, I could only make it to the Onizuka Visitor Center. I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be perfectly clear, and the sunset was amazing. I took a lot of photos, and they lent me some props for the shoot, which made for some fun pictures. The tour guide encouraged everyone to take photos, and later I received the data. Both the sunset and the starry sky photos turned out beautifully, creating wonderful memories. Thank you for your help!

Since it was a last-minute booking, I couldn't reconfirm until the day before, but I was able to participate without any issues. It takes about 40-50 minutes to get from Keauhou to Kealakekua Bay. During that time, they distribute fins and masks. Many people were snorkeling while wearing floaties or floats (available for rent). Since I had a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old with me, we were able to borrow a large boogie board (with a window to see underwater). It was a bit chilly because the sun was behind the clouds, so we got back on the boat partway through, but we enjoyed watching foreign guests having fun on the slide until the end. On the way there, pretzels and juice were served in the galley on the first floor, and on the way back, fruit was added. The crew also came up to the second floor to distribute snacks. Even though our English wasn't great, the crew made an effort to communicate with us.
直近の申し込みだったためか、前日までのリコンファームができなかったのに問題なく参加できました。
ケアウホウを出港してケアラケクア湾まで4-50分かかります。その間にフィンとマスクを配ってくれます。
多くの人が浮き輪やフロート(貸し出し)を着けてシュノーケルしていました。4才と8才連れだったので、大きなビート板(水中みられる窓つき)を貸してもらえました。陽がかげっていたので寒かったため途中で船に上がりましたが、最後までスライダーを楽しむ外国人をみたり、それはそれで楽しめました。
行きの船ではプレッツェルとジュースが1階のギャレーで提供され、帰りにはフルーツが追加されます。クルーが2階にも配りに来てくれます。
英語がいまいちな我々にもクルーはややコミュニケーションをとろうとしてくれました。

I had visited the Big Island several times, but this was my first opportunity to go to the summit of Mauna Kea. While it was possible to get to ONIZUKA on our own, it was not feasible to drive to the summit with a rental car (though I heard some people do manage to get in...). Given the concerns about driving on Saddle Road at night, we decided to book a tour.
Since we were staying at Mauna Lani, the tour bus picked us up last. We spent the morning playing at the beach, and the pickup came around 3:45 PM. It was very convenient that they came right to the parking lot of our accommodation. They informed us in advance to avoid alcohol for six hours to prevent altitude sickness and also contacted us about renting warm clothing.
Unfortunately, it was raining when we reached ONIZUKA, so based on the tour guide's judgment, we had our lunch (a bento-style meal with warm miso soup) in the vehicle and hurried to the summit. Fortunately, the summit was clear, and we were able to enjoy the sunset slowly. I was glad we didn’t take our time eating lunch. It was impressive! After that, we descended (there's a rule that you must leave the park after the sunset) and observed the starry sky. There was also warm tea and cookies available. They took many photos for us (no extra charge), and we were very satisfied. The night sky photos that I couldn't capture with my own camera were a highlight. It was a thoroughly enjoyable tour.
I had brought my own warm clothing, but it was really cold, so I was grateful to be able to borrow some. The road to the summit is quite bumpy, and the return trip on Saddle Road is pitch dark. I truly felt it was a good decision to join the tour.
I have also participated in a sunrise tour on Maui, but it was physically demanding, so I recommend the sunset tour. If you have the time, a sunrise tour could be fine, but you will be extremely sleepy afterward.
ハワイ島は何度か訪れていましたが、マウナケア山頂に行く機会がなく
初めて訪れました
自分たちでONIZUKAまで行く事は可能でしたが、レンタカーでは山頂まで行くことが不可能(中にはいってしまう人もいるそうですが・・・)との事と夜のサドルロードの運転など不安要素もありツアーを予約
マウナラニに滞在していたので、ツアーバスが迎えに来てくださったのが一番最後のでした。
午前中はビーチで遊び、15:45位に迎えが来ました
滞在先の駐車場まで来ていただいたので、とても楽でした
事前に、注意事項として高山病を避けるため6時間はアルコールを控えるよう、また防寒具のレンタルのご連絡などをいただきました
ONIZUKAまで行くとあいにくの雨、ツアーの方の判断で車内でお弁当をいただき(幕ノ内的なものと温かいお味噌汁)急ぎ山頂へ
山頂が晴れていたので、ゆっくりサンセットを楽しむ事ができました
のんびりお弁当食べていなくてよかった
さすがです!
それから、下山(サンセット終わると公園を出ないといけない決まりです)し、星空を観測。温かい紅茶とクッキーもありました
たくさん写真もとっていただき(別途料金不要)大満足でした
自分のカメラでは撮影できない夜空の写真
大満足のツアーでした
防寒着も持参していましたが、本当に寒いのでお借りできたこと
また、山頂までの道がかなり揺れます。そして帰りのサドルロードが真っ暗です。本当にツアーに参加してよかったと思います。
サンライズツアーもマウイ島で参加した事がありますが、体力的にもきついのでサンセットをお勧めいたします。
時間がある方はサンライズでも構わないと思いますが、ツアー後眠くてたまりません。

While watching a mysterious safety video during check-in, my husband and I, along with our children, were genuinely worried that we might have signed up for a crazy tour. However, when the crew realized we were Japanese, they used simple Japanese phrases (like "stand," "sit," "hold on here," etc.), which made it enjoyable for us to participate.
When taking off, we sat on the deck and let ourselves go. Upon returning, we went with the flow and stood up on the deck at the right moment. The world over 100 meters above the sea was truly serene, and we were just amazed by the magnificent nature of Hawaii Island and the vast ocean.
When returning, it's fine if you're not in a swimsuit as long as you don't splash down, but if you're someone who might, please come in a swimsuit.

When we went, we were the only Japanese people there, but we had a Japanese guide who made it enjoyable.

I was worried because I have little experience with snorkeling, but I received great support and was able to participate with peace of mind. The swim guides seemed to constantly share information about the dolphins, and thanks to their judgment on where to take us, I was able to see many dolphins!
(If the dolphin sighting location is far away, I think it's good to have motion sickness medication for those who are concerned.)
Also, while on the boat, Daisuke, the swim guide, shared a lot of information about the dolphins and always let us know when dolphins were nearby, which made the waiting time enjoyable.
Additionally, we were lucky enough to encounter whales during the winter season, allowing us to experience both dolphin swimming and whale watching, which was a double delight!
There may be other dolphin swim tours, but this tour was satisfying in every aspect, including knowledge about dolphins, support, and the friendliness of the staff! If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would love to do this again.
シュノーケリング等の経験が浅いので心配でしたが、しっかりとフォローしてもらい、安心して参加できました★
スイムガイドさん達も常にイルカの情報をシェアしあっているようで、ちゃんとイルカが見られる場所までその場その場の判断で連れてってくださったおかげでたくさんのイルカをみることができました!!^^
(イルカの出現場所によっては遠くなることもあるので心配な方は酔い止めがあるといいと思います)
また、船に乗っている間もスイムガイドのダイスケさんがイルカに関する情報を沢山お話ししてくださり、
常にイルカがあそこにいる!ということも教えてくれたので泳ぐまでの時間も楽しむことができました。
さらに冬季限定でクジラも運良く遭遇することができ、ホエールウォッチングもでき一石二鳥の感動を味わうことができました!
ドルフィンスイムツアーは他にもあるかもしれませんが、イルカに関する知識やサポート、スタッフさんの感じの良さ、全てにおいて満足できるツアーでした!!またハワイに行く機会があればお願いしたいです(^^)

As mentioned in the experience, when I went to the reception after 5 o'clock, there was a huge line. After the reception, there was the purchase of leis and photo taking, which seemed to take some time. The seating was full. Since the food was served from the front seats, I was nervous that there might not be any food left by the time it got to the back, but they kept replenishing it, so I was able to eat plenty. The dish with pork steamed in leaves and the dessert were delicious. The view of the harbor and Kona at sunset was amazing and beautiful!! The luau was packed with Kahiko, hula, Tahitian, and fire performances. However, my child got tired and fell asleep halfway through, but they were satisfied with the food. It was a lot of fun.
体験談にあったように、5時過ぎに受付にいったらすごい行列でした。受付の後にレイの購入と写真撮影があり、それに時間がかかっていたようです。
席は満席でした。ご飯が前の席から順にとのことで、後の席だったのでご飯がなくなるかとドキドキしましたが、どんどん足してくれていたので、たっぷり食べられました。豚を葉っぱで蒸した料理やデザートがおいしかったです。
夕暮れ時のハーバーとコナの景色が最高で素敵でした!!ルアウも、カヒコ、フラ、タヒチアン、ファイヤーものなど満載。ただ、子供は疲れて途中で寝てしまいましたが、子供もご飯は満足していました。楽しかったです。
Thank you for enjoying the luau show, Toriko. And thank you for the wonderful photos. I'm glad the weather was favorable as well. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
とりこ様 ルアウショーをお楽しみいただきありがとうとざいます。そして素敵な写真。天候にも恵まれて嬉しく思います。また是非お越しいただけますよう心よりお待ちしております。

The weather and moon phase were favorable, making it enjoyable. To satisfy more serious astronomy fans, a more impressive telescope might be needed.
天候、月齢にも恵まれて楽しめました。
少し詳しい天文ファンにを満足させるには、もう少し立派な望遠鏡が必要かも。
Dear Nao,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. Regarding the telescope you mentioned, we have several types available, and we may provide a smaller size depending on the available space in the vehicle on the day of the tour. We sincerely apologize for not being able to meet your expectations this time.
If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to visit the Big Island again. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Honestly, before going, I was worried about altitude sickness and hesitated. But I'm glad I went! They gave me advice on how to prevent altitude sickness (all of which were simple and easy to do), so I was able to participate with peace of mind. They also lend you warm clothing, but the perceived temperature can change depending on whether it's windy or not. Please be especially careful about your feet, as the wind can get in there.
正直、行く前は高山病とか心配して迷っていました。でも、行ってよかったです!高山病対策をアドバイスしてくれたり(どれも簡単で誰でもできることばかりです)で、安心して参加できました。防寒具も上下貸してくれますが、風があるかどうかで体感温度が変わります。特に足元は風が吹き込むので注意してくださいね。
Dear Hanako,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing tour. We ensure that we allocate time for altitude acclimatization as a countermeasure against altitude sickness, and our guides provide important information on the day of the tour, so very few participants experience altitude sickness.
In the unlikely event that you feel unwell, please know that our guides always carry oxygen tanks, so do not hesitate to ask for assistance.
As you mentioned, the temperature at the summit can drop to around 0 degrees. I remember once going to the summit in breathable athletic shoes, and my toes got so cold that it was painful.
We hope you will join our tour again next time, fully prepared with proper cold-weather gear. All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.

弊社では高山病対策として、高度順応のお時間を確保し、当日ガイドより注意事項等お伝えしておりますので、高山病になられる方は滅多にいらっしゃいません。
万が一体調を崩されましたら、ガイドが必ず酸素ボンベを常備しておりますので、お申し付け頂ければと存じます。
はなこ様の仰る通り、山頂は0度前後と冷え込みます。一度、通気性の良い運動靴で山頂へ行きましたがつま先が痛くなるほど寒かったのを覚えております。
是非、次回もばっちりな防寒対策の上、弊社のツアーへご参加頂ければと存じます。

The staff members and, of course, the dolphins were all amazing! On the day we were taken care of, there were an incredible number of dolphins, and we even saw whales. They mentioned that it’s not always like this, but for dolphin lovers and ocean enthusiasts, it’s a dream optional tour!!
スタッフの方々や、もちろんイルカも、どれを取っても最高でした!
お世話になった日はイルカがものすごい数でクジラも見れて、毎回こんな感じとは思わないで下さいねーとおっしゃってましたが…イルカ好き、海好きには夢のようなオプショナルツアーです!!

I challenged myself to kayaking for the first time with a friend in a tandem kayak! This was my second time sea kayaking. No matter how hard we paddled, we weren't making much progress, and as we fell behind everyone else, the handsome guide connected a rope and towed us along! He continued to keep an eye on us, staying close but not too close as we struggled. We managed to complete the course somehow! Ah, it was so much fun!
初カヤックの友と2人乗りで挑戦!私は2回目のシーカヤック。
漕いでも漕いでも進まず、皆さんから遅れていたら、イケメンガイド君がロープをつないで曳航してくださいました❣️その後も遅れがちな私達を付かず離れずで気にしてくださり…。なんとか完漕できました‼️
あー、楽しかった‼︎

After paddling for about 30 minutes by sea kayak to the destination's shallow area, we entered the sea directly from the kayak to go snorkeling. The underwater visibility is very clear, and there are a decent variety and quantity of fish, so those who want to enjoy both kayaking and snorkeling should be satisfied. By the way, snorkeling is optional, and about 20% of participants did not go snorkeling. Since we paddle the kayak both ways, we don't progress while listening to the guide's explanations, so if you want to hear the guide's insights, it might be a good idea to actively engage in conversation.
The sea cave is not a long cave that extends for dozens of meters; it's about 3 to 5 meters in total length. When you enter the cave with the kayak, you get swept away more quickly by the waves when they return, so it's more about enjoying that experience. There is also a point where you can jump into the sea from a cliff about 5 meters high, so you can optionally jump from the cliff into the sea.
Before getting on the kayak, there is a briefing where they explain how to paddle. The explanation is all in English, but if you have experience paddling a boat, you should be able to understand the basic instructions in English. Additionally, there was one guide who could explain using very simple Japanese words necessary for kayaking (like left, right, stop, etc.).
Since everyone participating this time had kayaking experience, the pace of paddling was quite fast, but I believe the guide adjusts the pace based on the participants' skills and how many times they have kayaked before. Especially for those from Western countries, they tend to have good stamina, so if you're not confident in your physical strength, I recommend mentioning that during the briefing. During the briefing, you will be asked if you need a life jacket for kayaking. Since you will also use a life jacket while snorkeling, it's best to communicate your need for one during the briefing.
シーカヤックで片道30分ほど目的地の浅瀬に向かった後、海上で直接カヤックから海に入って、シュノーケリングをします。海中の透明度は非常にクリアで、魚の種類と量もそれなりにいるので、カヤックとシュノーケリングを同時に楽しみたい方は満足できるはずです。ちなみにシュノーケリングは任意で、参加した方の2割はシュノーケリングをしていませんでした。行きと帰りはカヤックを漕ぐので、ガイドの説明を横で聞きながら進むというわけではなく、ガイドから説明を聞きたい場合は積極的に話しかけたほうがいいかもしれません。海中洞窟(シーケーブ)は数十メートルも続くような洞窟ではなく、全長3~5m程度で、そこにカヤックで入ると波が戻る際に波の力でより早く流されるので、それを楽しむ程度です。また高さ5m程度の崖から海に飛び込むポイントもあるので、任意で崖から海に飛び込むことができます。
カヤックに乗る前にブリーフィングがありカヤックの漕ぎ方について説明があります。説明は全て英語ですが、ボートを漕いだことがある方なら基本的な説明は英語でも理解できると思います。また、カヤックの動作に必要なごくごく簡単な日本語の単語(左右、止まるなど)で説明することができるガイドが1人いました。
今回参加した全員がカヤックの経験者だったため、カヤックを漕ぐペースはかなり早めでしたが、ガイドが参加者のスキルやカヤックに乗ったことがある回数によってペースを合わせると思います。特に欧米の方は体力があるので、体力に自信がない方は、ブリーフィングの際にその旨を伝える事をお勧めします。ブリーフィングでカヤックに乗る際、ライフジャケットが必要か聞かれます。シュノーケリングをする際もライフジャケットを利用するので、シュノーケリングでライフジャケットが必要な方はブリーフィングの際に伝えた方がよいと思います。

My English skills were below the level of daily conversation, but I was able to enjoy the experience without any problems.
【Before Boarding the Boat】
At the scheduled time, a small bus came to pick us up at the hotel front. We were dropped off near the sea close to Waikoloa and were told, "Come back here when you're done. Also, please fill out the consent form over there before boarding the boat." We headed towards a beach house on the sand. After completing the electronic signature on a device that looked like a tablet, we waited for about 10 minutes until a small boat arrived, and we boarded it. We transferred from the small boat to a larger boat just before going out to sea. There were only two of us from Japan participating.
【Whale Watching Experience】
Seating on the boat was free. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't understand what was being said at all (laughs). The boat was also swaying, so when standing up to take pictures of the whales, everyone stood, so please make sure to hold onto the ropes or handrails tightly. Although it was far away, we were able to see the whales spouting water about 4 to 5 times and also witnessed a low jump of a whale arching its back. It was a precious experience where I could feel the great nature of Hawaii Island. The crew was a kind young man. He said, "You can almost see whales every day! Dolphins are occasional. There are more in Kona than here." I was shown a picture of the boat getting very close to a whale by the crew, and I was amazed at how impressive it was. Since it depends on luck whether you see whales or not, I thought, "There are lucky days like this." By the way, the two of us did not get seasick.
【After Whale Watching】
Around 9:30, we got off the boat and transferred to a small boat to return to the beach. We boarded the bus we took on the way there and safely arrived back at the hotel front, marking the end of the tour.
Since it was my first experience with whale watching, I’m glad I participated! While waiting for the whales, I also enjoyed cruising. I could see the mountains like Mauna Kea in the distance and the beautiful coastline, making for a graceful time.
日常会話レベル以下の英語力でしたが、特に問題なく楽しむことができました。
【船に乗るまで】
時間になったらホテルのフロントまで小型バスが迎えに来てくれました。
ワイコロアから程近い海に降ろされ「終わったらここに戻ってきてね。それと船に乗る前に同意書は向こうで書いてね。」と言われ、砂浜にある海の家(?)に向かいます。タブレットのような機械で電子サインを済ませ10分ほど待つと小さな船が来たので乗りました。
沖より少し手前で小さな船から大きな船に移ります。
日本人参加者は私達2人だけでした。
【ホエールウォッチング体験】
船の席は自由です。英語ツアーなので私は何を言っているかはちんぷんかんぷんでした(笑)。
また船は揺れるので立ち上がってクジラの写真を撮る際は、皆立つのでしっかりロープや手すりにつかまってください。
遠かったですが4〜5回クジラの潮吹きを見ることができ、クジラの反り返りの低いジャンプも見ることができました。ハワイ島の大自然を感じられた瞬間で貴重な体験でした。
クルーも親切なお兄ちゃんでした。「クジラは毎日ほぼ見れるよ!イルカはたまに。ここよりもコナの方がいるよ。」とのこと。クルーのお兄ちゃんに船でクジラに大接近してる画像を見せてもらい、大迫力すぎて驚きました。自然相手なのでクジラに会えるor会えないは運ですが、こういうラッキーな日もあるんだなぁと思いました。ちなみに、私達2人は船酔いせずに済みました。
【ホエールウォッチングを終えて】
9:30頃船から降りて、また小さい船に移動し砂浜へ戻ります。行きに乗ったバスに乗り込み、無事にホテルのフロントに到着し無事にツアー終了となりました☆
ホエールウォッチングは初めての経験だったので、参加してよかったです!またクジラを待ってる間はクルージングとして楽しみましたよ。遠くの方にマウナケア等の山が見えて美しい海岸も見ることができ優雅な時間でした。

All the tour guides were kind and very interesting! They shared a lot of love and knowledge about dolphins, which made it enjoyable on its own. They provided precise support to ensure we had a good encounter with the dolphins during the actual tour. It was really fun! I'm glad I chose this tour. I would like to book a tour here again when I go to Hawaii!

Dear Yuhee,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. The props we introduced this year have been very well received. As it became a buzzword in 2018, you can easily take Instagram-worthy photos. I'm delighted that you were able to enjoy the total lunar eclipse during the tour. Your smiles come to mind. Stargazing with a guide is truly enjoyable, and I love it as well.
If you ever visit the Big Island again, we would be thrilled if you could join our tour. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your return to the island.
