Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

The most romantic and special event of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: Kimo Kameaalohalani

So I decided to propose on this particular cruise, and I couldn't have picked a more romantic, thoughtful, and special cruise to do it. I was so incredibly nervous, but the customer service rep was extremely communicative and responsive for my specific request. John, the captain of the vessel, was so knowledgable in the marine life, that my fiance and I asked if he had majored in Marine Biology in college. He had a lot of passion for the marine life and he spent a lot of time speaking with us. Also, the wait staff was beyond courteous, they took pictures of my engagement, and they made us feel so special with their champagne toast.

I also set-up an original song to sing for my fiance, and the musician onboard actually learned my song before-hand, and played it perfectly as I sang it in front of 40 strangers! His tunes really bring that cool, Hawaiian vibe, and the MC was great with her meticulous tour and crowd work. I couldn't have asked for a better sunset, a perfect location, and the greatest staff that I have probably ever encountered. That's saying a lot as I had been a musician on several international five-star cruise lines in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a special event with incredible food.

The best view. 最高の景色

Reviewed by: YUKO

I was anxious about going to a mountain higher than Mount Fuji, but the attentive service from the Japanese staff made for a worry-free and enjoyable drive. At the summit, we were able to see a truly wonderful sunset, and the stargazing was even more beautiful than a planetarium. The explanations about the stars were also very enjoyable and detailed, making it a tour that left my family completely satisfied.

You have to do this activity! If you love sea creatures, and have not done this before, go for it! The Hula Kai is the way to go. Other tours are available, but the Hula Kai us the best outfit. Plan it early in the trip. It is highly unlikely that the Mantas will not show up, but if they don't, go again. It is only a couple of hours, and a reliable great time. You don't need to be an experienced snorkel / scuba person, they have a system all worked out. Very easy in and out of the water. Go for it!

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

Weather that doesn't feel like Hawaii?! ハワイとは思えない天候？！

Reviewed by: ねこねこ

This is my third time participating in the Mauna Kea Nature tour, but unfortunately, the weather was not great this time. I managed to climb to the summit of Mauna Kea from the Onizuka Center, but it was snowing and hailing, and it was extremely cold, so I couldn't see the sunset. I barely caught a glimpse of the sunset through a break in the clouds, and I could see the magma of Kilauea in the distance.

Since I couldn't see the starry sky from up high, I moved down and was able to see it there.

It's disappointing that we can't choose the weather, but in a way, it was quite rare for Hawaii, and it turned out to be a valuable experience.

Above all, I enjoyed participating in the tour with the other guests, encouraging each other in a friendly atmosphere. The guide also made an effort to show us the best possible sunset and starry sky, which added to the fun memories.

Needless to say, the warm miso soup, the improved bento from last time, the winter clothing, and the free photo download service are all attractions of this tour.

If you participate in the winter, be prepared for unpredictable weather; I think it's best to join with the mindset that if you get to see something, it's a bonus. Even without a perfect sunset and stars, there is so much to gain from this wonderful tour.

マサシネイチャーでの参加は3回目ですが、今回はあいにくの天気でした。
オニヅカセンターから上のマウナケア山頂にはなんとな登れましたが雪がつもり雹がふり、極寒でサンセットは見れず。
辛うじて一瞬雲の合間から夕陽、遠くにキラウエアのマグマが。
星空も上の方ではみれなかったため下に移動してなんとか見ることができました。

天候は選べないものなので残念といえば残念ですが、ある意味でハワイではかなり稀な天候であり、それはそれで貴重な経験でした。

なにより同行した他のお客様御一行と和気あいあいと励ましあいながらツアーに参加できたこと、ガイドさんも少しでも良い星空、サンセットをみせようと努力してくださる心遣いが伝わり、それらも含め楽しい思い出になりました。

言うまでもなく、暖かいお味噌汁、前回よりおいしくなったお弁当、防寒着に写真の無料ダウンロードサービスもこのツアーの魅了です。

冬場に参加の場合、天気は荒れやすい、それを覚悟の上、見れたらラッキーくらいで参加するといいと思います。
満点のサンセットと星がみえなくても、得るものが大きい、いいツアーです。

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

Hospitality is... ホスピタリティが・・・

Reviewed by: はてな

I chose this tour because regular cameras can't capture the night sky, but I was disappointed by the lack of hospitality.

During the photo shoot on the way to the summit of Mauna Kea, I asked the guide who took my picture if it turned out well, and he assured me it was fine. I felt relieved and downloaded the photos later, but they were not suitable as keepsakes. It's very unpleasant that these images are shared with other tour participants.

As for the stargazing location, we stopped on a side road on the way from the summit of Mauna Kea to the Onizuka Center for an explanation session. However, several cars passed by on their way down, kicking up dust, and since I was trying to take pictures with a DSLR, the headlights from the cars interfered, causing me to fail at capturing multiple shots. Moreover, the location wasn't open, and the mountains obstructed the view of the night sky, ruining the experience. There should be better spots for stargazing.

Even if the guide is used to the scenery every day, the tour participants are not able to visit these places multiple times. This tour requires you to confirm your reservation on the day of your arrival in Hawaii, but with this kind of service, I felt it was a waste to pay for the phone call.

For positive aspects, please check the comments from other tour participants.

普通のカメラでは星空写真が撮影出来ないので、こちらのツアーを選びましたが
ホスピタリティの無さには期待外れでした。

マウナケア山頂へ行く途中での撮影の際、途中で動いてしまったので撮影してくれたガイドさんに「写真はきちんと撮れているか」と確認した所「大丈夫です」との回答に安心して、後日ダウンロードしましたが、記念写真にならない画像。他のツアー参加者にも公開されているので非常に不快です。

星空観賞の場所。マウナケア山頂からオニヅカセンターへの途中の脇道で停車し説明会が始まりましたが、すぐ近くを下山する車が何台も通るので砂煙が巻き上がるし、私は一眼レフでの撮影に挑戦していたので、車のヘッドライドの明かりが邪魔して何枚も撮影に失敗しました。しかも山間でひらけた場所ではないので、山が邪魔で星空が隠れてしまい台無しです。観賞場所ならもっと他にもあるはずです。

ガイドさんは毎日見慣れた景色でも、ツアー参加者は何回も来れる場所ではないのです。
こちらのツアーはハワイ島到着時に当日の予約確認の依頼をされていますが、この様なサービスでは電話代を支払うのも勿体なく思いました。

良かった点は、他のツアー参加者コメントから確認してください。

Reviewed by: Mihoko

I participated with my child who is under three years old. My husband and I planned to take turns going into the sea while one of us stayed on the boat with our child, but since the group went a bit far from the boat, that plan turned out to be difficult. In the end, we sat our son on a surfboard and both of us snorkeled with the other participants. At first, our child was scared and crying, but gradually he got used to it and said, "I'm not scared anymore." The staff were very kind to our youngest son, holding him so we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about him, and they were incredibly helpful.

I wasn't sure about the meeting place, but when I called the contact number, they kindly explained the location and even sent a photo of the map to my phone.

We had a great time, but I think it might be difficult for children under three to participate, depending on the staff.

3歳未満の子供と参加しました。主人と交代で海に入り、どちらかが子供と一緒に船上で待っていようと計画していましたが団体が少し船から離れたところまで行くので実際はその計画は難しく、結局サーフボードに息子を座らせて夫婦同時に他の参加者と共にシュノーケルをしました。はじめ子供は怖がっていて泣きべそをかいていましたがだんだん慣れて「もう怖くない」と言っていました。スタッフも最年少の息子にとても優しく、私たちが息子のことを気にかけず楽しめるように抱っこしてくれたり申し訳ないほど親切にしてもらいました。

集合場所もよく分からなかったのですが連絡先に電話を入れたらとても丁寧に場所を教えてくれて私の携帯に地図の写真まで送ってくれました。

とても楽しめましたがスタッフによっては３歳未満の参加は難しいかと思います。

I parked my car in the hotel parking lot. Normally, the parking fee for non-guests is high, but guests of the luau could park for $5.

The food was delicious, the performances were enjoyable, and my son, who is under three years old, had a great time. I was worried that little kids might get bored halfway through, but he seemed to be fascinated by the dancing and music, sitting quietly and happily watching the stage.

ホテルの駐車場に車を停めました。普通宿泊客でない駐車料は高いですがルアウの客は５ドルで停められました。会場は長テーブルで相席になりますが他のテーブルも皆知り合い同士じゃないのでお互い気になりません。食事もおいしく、パフォーマンスも楽しく、3歳未満の息子も楽しめました。小さい子は途中で飽きてしまうか心配でしたが、踊りや音楽が興味深かったようでおとなしくじっとステージを見て喜んでいました。

Be careful of the cold and seasickness!!! 寒さと船酔いに注意！！！

Reviewed by: Michi

Since I went to the Big Island, I absolutely wanted to see a manta ray! With high spirits, I joined this tour. I was really excited until I got into the water, but... since it was December, the water temperature was cold, and the waves were quite strong, so the conditions weren't great. Once I got in the water, it was really cold, and even though I took motion sickness medication, I ended up feeling seasick. I stayed in the water for 30 minutes, determined to see at least one manta ray, and I was able to see a few! The excitement I felt when I saw them was truly beyond words! However, I couldn't last until the end and had to get back on the boat after 30 minutes, feeling groggy... but this is also a memory of my trip.

The instructor, Torichan, was a very cheerful Japanese person, which made me feel really at ease. They lent us their personal windbreaker since we were feeling seasick and offered us warm drinks.

It was easy to communicate in Japanese, which was nice.

I want to see manta rays up close again, so I think I'll try for a rematch during the warmer season!

Thank you for the exciting experience! ^ - ^
