Our tour guide was Amy and she was awesome. Her knowledge of how the show is created and the actors was greater than any expectation we had. Seeing the McGarrett house and meeting the owner was the highlight of the tour for us. Both the owner of the house and Amy were absolutely wonderful. I think the best tour of our vacation.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but since it's nature, that's understandable. I think it would be amazing if we could see them. Even without seeing whales, you can still enjoy the cruising experience. I definitely recommend bringing binoculars!
残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたが、自然相手なのでそこは仕方ありません。見れたら最高だと思いますよ。クジラが見れなくてもクルージング気分は味わえます。是非、双眼鏡を持参する事をお奨めします!
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

They took me to the hotel without any issues. The pickup was in a clear style, so I was able to find it easily, which was good. Since my Japanese isn't very good, it seems best to clearly repeat the destination.

I made a reservation for three people, including a one-year-old child. Normally, there wouldn't be a charge for the child, but since it was stated that if we paid an additional fee for the seat, the child seat would be free, I went ahead with the application. However, there was no child seat in the shuttle, and when I asked the staff, they said, "The information from Beltora is incorrect. Please contact them for a refund for the child's portion." After that, I sent an inquiry via email, but I haven't received a response. I'm worried about whether I will get a refund.
1歳の子供と3人で予約しました。通常なら子供料金はいらないのですが、オプションで席料を払えばチャイルドシート無料と記載があったため、申し込みしました。
しかし、送迎車にチャイルドシートは無く係りの人に確認したところ、
「ベルトラさんの表記が間違っている。子供分は、そちらに言って返金してもらって下さい」と言われました。
その後、問い合わせでメールを送りましたが、返答はなし。返金してもらえるのか不安です。

At sea level (below 1 meter), the temperature is 28 degrees. The tour bus picked us up right in front of the hotel lobby. Mr. Yamap greeted us with a smile. From there, all participants gathered at the donut shop. We set off towards the summit of Haleakalā. We stopped at a market along the way to buy sushi and were given tips on Maui souvenirs, and then we headed to the summit! To reach a place over 3000 meters, we took our time ascending with breaks along the way (by car). To get above the clouds, we had to pass through them. In the thick clouds where we couldn't see ahead... I wondered if we would even be able to see anything at the summit. I was filled with anxiety as we climbed. However, Mr. Yamap played music and chatted, seemingly unconcerned about the weather at the summit. Perhaps to match the age of the participants? I’m not sure, but he played songs from the '80s... They were right in our strike zone, so we enjoyed the ride. And finally... the summit! There were no clouds, and nothing obstructed our view. As dusk fell, we could beautifully observe the rare shadow of the Earth, and since it was a new moon that day, while we ate our bento in the car, it seemed Mr. Yamap was preparing telescopes and other equipment. After dinner, when we got out of the car... we were instructed not to look up until we were outside. Since the car lights were on while we ate, it seemed that looking up immediately wouldn’t allow us to see the stars clearly. Once we adjusted our eyes, the starry sky was incredibly moving...! Seriously, it was amazing. Everyone should go. I don't want to promote it too much. It's a sight rarely seen. The number of stars you might only see once in a lifetime. It makes you feel how tiny Earth is... When I saw this starry sky, all my past failures and struggles seemed insignificant...
Lastly... it is really cold at the summit. They can lend you down jackets or blankets, but if you're sensitive to the cold, it's better to bring inner layers or disposable hand warmers even when going to Hawaii. They also serve warm tea.
下界(海抜1m未満)では気温28度。ツアーバスがホテルロビー前までお迎え。山Pさんがニコニコお迎えに来てくれました。そこから、ドーナツ屋さん参加者全員集合。ハレアカラ山頂に向かって出発。途中のマーケットでお寿司などを買い込んで(マウイのお土産とかも教えてもらって)、いざ山頂へ!3000mを超える場所へ向かうには、途中の休憩を入れながらゆっくり上っていきます(車で・・)。雲の上に出るためには・・雲の中を通過しなければなりません。前方も見えないような雲の中で・・・もしかしたら山頂に行っても見えないんじゃないのかな?不安感満載で登っていくのです。しかし、山Pさんは音楽を流しながら、いろいろお話を入れて、山頂の天気のことは特に気にもせず、運転していました。参加者の年齢に合わせたのか?わかりませんが80年代の曲が・・・・。われわれのストライクゾーンの曲だったので楽しく向かいました。そしてついに・・・山頂!そこは雲もなく、目の前を遮るものはありません。夕暮れになり・・めったに見れない地球の影もきれいに観察できましたし、当日は新月で、お弁当を車内で食べている間に山Pさんは望遠鏡などの準備をしていたようです。夕食が終わって、車内から出るときに・・・下を向いて上を見ないようにとの指示。車内は車内灯をつけてお弁当を食べていたので、すぐ上を向いても星がきれいに見えないらしいです。あとは目を慣れさせて見るとすごく感動的な星空が・・・!まじ、やばいです。皆さん行ってください。あまり紹介したくないですね。めったに見れない。一生に見れるかどうかの星の数。地球なんてなんてちっぽけな・・・・・と感じます。
今までの失敗や苦労などはこの星空を見たら・・・。以上
最後に・・・山頂はマジで寒いです。ダウンとか毛布とか貸していただけますが、寒がりの人はハワイに行くのに、インナーとか使い捨てカイロとかあったほうがいいです。暖かいお茶も出してくれます。

This tour is really *the* way to see some of the most beautiful spots on the island. Our tour was a small group of 4 led by Bonnie, who is so much fun and know so much about the island and about photography. Three of us on the tour had our iPhones and no special cameras or lenses and Bonnie gave us great tips and tricks for taking better photos with our phones. We even got to see a Hawaiian monk seal basking on the beach. Highly recommended!
Aloha Sarah,

The tour was great, George our tour guide provided an up close and personal look at the behind the scene props and WWII History of the Ranch. It was fun to see and stand next to some of the Jurassic Park sets which were used during the actual filming. Afternoon cruise was OK, but it would have been better if it sailed out to some of the sights highlighted like the Chinese Hat and the Island where Gilligan's Island was filmed. Food at their Buffet was very good and plentiful. All was well worth the money paid and I would do it again.

We were very fortunate, we had a lovely sunny day and we saw 3 or 4 whales. The crew were very helpful.The buffet meal was of good variety, tasty food and people were able to return as many times as they wanted. With regard to the whales, as stated in the tour blurbs there are rules about how close the boat can get to the whales because of this and how fast they breach and disappear I would suggest putting the camera aside and fully enjoying the experience with your own eyes, which is quite a thrill.

I felt it was a bit of a waste to use it without luggage, but for a single traveler, it's cheaper than a taxi. As for The Bus... it's not worth comparing. I think it's convenient for those with a lot of luggage. Due to Hawaiian Airlines' schedule, I needed to take the first flight (around 5 AM), so I used this service. The pickup from my hotel in Waikiki was almost on time at 3 AM. After stopping at several hotels, we arrived at the airport around 3:45 AM, just a little before the airport terminal opened.
荷物なしの利用でちょっと勿体無い感はありましたが、1人利用の場合、タクシーよりは安いです。The Busとは...比べてはいけません。
荷物が多い方には便利だと思います。
ハワイアン航空のダイヤの関係で始発便(朝5時台)に乗る必要があり、利用しました。

Wake up early, super early, for the most amazing sunrise you’ll see, if you are an adventurer. It’s cold up there, super cold so prepare for that. Before sunrise, marvel at the stars. They’re so cold you can touch them. Gloves, hats and warm coats needed, but its soooooo worth it!! The sunrise is spectacular! And once it comes up, the crater is like nothing you’ve ever seen. Turn to your right and look up at the science stations there also. You’ll want to stay!

I stayed at Aqua Palms.
First, I went around the Hilton across from the airport, then circled around the hotels in Waikiki, and finally arrived at Aqua Palms.
Since I was the first pick-up on the way back, getting dropped off in front of the Hilton or Ilikai Hotel allows you to check in 30 minutes earlier.
The service was fine. If you don't speak English, it's okay to show a printed document or your phone screen.
