Jack was a great tour guide and the day passed very quickly with jokes, historical information, and a beautiful cruise to the Fern Grotto. The singers were beautiful in sentiment and voice, showing us the beauty of the Hawaiian culture . I recommend this as it is a great way to be engulfed in culture and see most of the island , including great picture spots.

We chose the Royal package, it was alot of fun sitting up close and getting to eat first! There were lots of activities to do before dinner and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The alcoholic drinks are very "light", drink your free ones but save your money on the others. Buy some of the hand made jewelry instead!!

I searched for a Japanese-guided tour with Sunrise Tours but couldn't find one, so I thought, "Well, anything I can see with an English guide is fine!" and decided to join this tour.
I was nervous about the reconfirmation once I arrived, but I completely replaced the instructions from Veltra on "how to reconfirm in English" with my own and managed to get through it successfully!
We were picked up at 2:20 AM and boarded a shared bus, listening to the guide talk about what I believe was the history of Hawaii as we headed to the summit. The other foreign passengers were surprisingly underdressed, but some started to bundle up as we gained altitude.
When we reached the visitor center near the summit and got off the bus, the strong wind was so intense that it felt like we could be blown away. It was hard to even catch my breath. Despite this, we made it to the viewpoint and waited there, enduring the cold and wind in the dark. Slowly, an orange light began to appear. The sun rose very gradually, coloring the clouds in a way I had never seen before. The moment the sunlight broke through, the locals began to sing. A truly sacred and majestic atmosphere filled the air. It was an emotional experience that I will never forget.
After watching the sunrise, we went to the summit and enjoyed the view from there. It was a 360-degree panorama. It wasn't the panorama of buildings seen from Tokyo's Tokyo Skytree, but a breathtaking natural panorama! I learned that the silver sword plant only blooms once every 20 years, but there were many in bloom.
It might have been better if I understood English more, but I managed to get by with a basic understanding. I definitely plan to participate again the next time I visit Maui.
サンライズツアーで日本語ガイドのツアーを探しましたが見つからず、まぁ英語ガイドでも見られるものは一緒!と思ってこのツアーに参加しました。
現地に着いてからのリコンファームからドキドキでしたが、ベルトラさんの「英語でのリコンファームの仕方」をまるまるそっくり自分に置き換えて伝え、無事にクリアできました!
早朝2:20ピックアップで混載バスに乗りガイドさんのたぶんハワイの歴史と思われる話を聞きながら山頂に向かいました。同乗の外人さんたちはびっくりするはどの薄着でしたが、高度が上がるにつれて着膨れしていく方もいました。
山頂付近のビジターセンターまで上がりバスを降りるとガイドさんもびっくりするほどの強い風で吹き飛ばされるほどでした。息を吸うのもやっとな感じです。そんな中ビューポイントまでやってきてそこで待機。じーっと寒さと風に耐えながら真っ暗な中待っているとオレンジ色の光がうっすらさしてきます。本当にゆっくりゆっくり日が昇っていき雲を染めていきます。本当に今までに見たことのない光景です。太陽の光が差した瞬間現地の方達が歌い始めます。本当に神聖な荘厳な空気があたりに満ちました。感動的な体験で一生忘れないと思います。
サンライズを見た後は山頂まで行き、そこからの展望を楽しみました。360度の大パノラマです。東京の◯◯ツリーから見る建物のパノラマでなく、自然のパノラマにも感動!高山植物の銀剣草も20年に1度しか花を咲かせないそうですがたーくさん咲いていました。
英語がもっとわかればもっとよかったかもしれないけれど、なんとなくわかる程度でも大丈夫。また今度マウイに行った時には是非参加しようと思いました。

I first visited the Caves of the Ferns 20 years ago, and this was my second time. Since I was participating alone, I had assumed that the tour boat would have an English guide. However, on this day, there was a boat with a Japanese guide, and I was able to join that one. It was a chartered boat for a group of Japanese tourists, so I was lucky. Unfortunately, I couldn't enter the Caves of the Ferns. A new observation deck was established, and I had to view it from there, which was disappointing. However, the explanations from the Japanese guide made the situation clear, and I understood it well.
シダの洞窟は20年前にはじめて行き、今回が2回目でした。一人参加のため遊覧船は英語ガイドになると観念していました。ところがこの日は日本語ガイドの船が出るのでそちらに乗せてくれました。日本人の団体のためにチャーターした船でした。ラッキーでした。シダの洞窟には入れませんでした。展望台が新設されてここから眺めることになり残念でした。日本語ガイドの説明で事情がよくわかり納得でした。

This time, we went to Hawaii for the first time with our parents from both families to hold a local wedding ceremony. We wanted to create some memorable experiences to express our gratitude to our parents during our free time, so we booked a vow renewal and sunset cruise. We enjoyed dinner while cruising, watched a Hawaiian show, and had photos taken for each couple, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time.
The vow renewal ceremony itself was a first for our parents, and they seemed a bit shy about the idea of participating in such a ceremony. However, thanks to the open atmosphere of Hawaii, it all turned into a wonderful memory. By the way, I explained the vow renewal to our parents while we were having appetizers.
The ceremony could have been conducted for each couple separately, but we were able to do it for two couples at the same time. One slight disappointment was that our parents (and I) didn't understand much English, and the ceremony felt a bit rushed (perhaps because it was in between dinner?). Nevertheless, it was a valuable experience.
For now, the surprise was a success!!
The three-star atmosphere was lively, so it might be suitable for families. The meal portions and drinks were generous, and we left feeling full. The vow renewal could be a great surprise gift.
今回、現地挙式を行うため私達+私達両家の両親で初ハワイへ行ってきました。
フリータイムを有効に使って、何か両親への感謝を伝えられる思い出作りを???と・・・今回のバウ・リニューアル&サンセット・クルーズを申し込みました。クルーズをしながらディナー、ハワイアンショーもみれて、カップルごとに写真も付いて、ゆったりとした時間を楽しめました。
バウ・リニューアルという儀式自体、両親達は初耳、まさか自分達がそんな儀式をするなんて
・・・ちょっと照れ臭かったみたいですが、ハワイの開放的な雰囲気のおかげで、全ては良い思い出になりました。ちなみに両親達にバウ・リニューアルについて、前菜を食べながら説明しました。
儀式はそれぞれの夫婦ごとに進めることもできたのですが、2カップル同時にさせていただきました。ちょっと残念なこととすると、親は(私も)そんなに英語が理解できなかった+儀式的にはあっという間(ディナーの合間なので?)ということでしょうか。でも、貴重な経験ができました
。
ひとまずサプライズ成功です!!
3スターは賑やかな雰囲気だったのでファミリーに向いているかもしれません。食事量も飲み物も2杯付いてお腹がいっぱいになりました。
バウ・リニューアルについては、サプライズプレゼントにいいかもしれませんょ。

Aloha Ms Cueno, we are very sorry to hear that the driver was not clear about things an only talked about food.
We will definitely talk to him about it.
Just to be clear, the tour package you bought included the kayak plus the admission to the falls park, but did not include a free lunch on us.
Some of the other customers use only one activity and have lunch on us -in lieu- of the second activity . Is this where the confusion started?
Our manager will call you to clarify everything with you.
Much aloha
