ハワイ島：マウナケア・サミットとスターズの少人数アドベンチャーツアー

Jeff was a phenomenal guide for our stargazing tour! He perfectly balanced his incredible knowledge of Hawaii and astronomy with a fun, engaging energy that my husband and I absolutely loved.

A really outstanding tour where our guide, Jeff, made it a 10/10 experience! His detailed knowledge of the trip and in particular his knowledge of his very approachable yet advanced telescopes made it an adventure to remember. Even if you just have a passing interest in going to the top of the Big Island and seeing the night sky, you won’t be disappointed by this trip!

The entire tour was a delightful educational experience. At every location on the trip toward and up on Mauna Kea our experienced guide Jeff shared many facts and stories regarding geography, history and spiritual significance, all with great respect for the land and native people. Our stop at the Visitors Center was informative and included a delicious stew dinner with a good break to get a bit aclimated. Once we got to the Summit we were impressed with seeing the large telescopes and hearing their science and history. Here we were glad to be provided with the warm parkas as the temperature dropped dramtically. We did feel the altitude so moved a bit slower. Sunset was miraculous above the vog. We then moved a short distance below this for sky viewing using two different telescopes. Views of the night sky were amazing along with delicious dessert. Jeff later emailed digital photos of the views we had seen including galaxies and nebula. The ride home in the dark with Hawaiian music playing was a touching tribute to the amazing adventure. Jeff was a wonderful guide beyond our expectations and this trip is one not to miss.

The tour was such a unique experience! I loved everything about the tour. Our tour guide Wilson was such a great tour guide and driver. We felt safe and comfortable. The atmosphere was great. The group had a good time and the length of visit was nice. It was such an incredible time and I enjoyed every moment. My husband and I had a wonderful day.

Jeff was an outstanding guide and made the trip memorable and enjoyable. He was so knowledgeable about the region describing the areas we were passing through on the way up to the summit and then was passionate about the stars. We felt comfortable with the drive up and back. The meal was absolutely delicious and the cookies and hot chocolate welcome while we watched stars. The photos of the stars after were just an added bonus. Highly recommend this tour!

I had heard how amazing the Mauna Kea Stargazing tour is and it truly lived up to the hype! I was in Hawaii for a milestone birthday celebration and this was definitely the highlight of the trip! Eugene was our guide and he was perfect. Fun, funny and full of facts. He made the trip comfortable and enjoyable. I whole heartedly recommend this tour!

If you enjoyed looking at the stars this tour is for you. Jeff was our guide for this tour and he was extremely knowledgeable about the observatories at the top of Mauna Kea. I was amazed at how many different observatories there were at the top of the mountain. After watching the sunset we drove down about a thousand feet where Jeff then set up two telescopes for us to view the stars through. Through the telescopes, we got to see the Omega centauri globula star cluster, the Dumbbell nebula, the Eagle nebula and the Ring nebula just to name a few. He also explained and showed us how to find the different stars in the sky. It was quite amazing. Be prepared because it can be very cold at the top of the mountain. They did supply us with parkas and gloves. But I recommend definitely long pants and a sweater or sweat shirt for under the parka. It can be very windy at the top.

This was one of the most memorable excursions my husband and I have ever experienced. Watching the sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was truly breathtaking, followed by an incredible stargazing session. Our tour guide, Wilson, was exceptional. He brought along telescopes that allowed us to observe various constellations and celestial bodies, and his knowledge enhanced the experience, enabling us to see details we would not have noticed otherwise. We also observed several shooting stars throughout the evening. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that was well worth the cost.

Great experience. Our guide Jeff was knowledgeable and fantastic at planning the time! Very much worth it especially if you love the night sky!

The tour was amazing, the tour guide was super friendly and very knowledgeable. The tour van was new and comfortable. The sunset was breathtaking and the stargazing with hot chocolate on hand was just the perfect touch. I would definitely recommend this tour.
