This was an amazing tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable. Gorgeous views and so many stars. We even got to see Saturn and the Milky Way! Both our kids 11 &15 fully enjoyed it. One said it was their favorite activity on our trip. We will definitely be doing it again on our next trip to Maui. It’s does get cold at the top, so make sure you bring layers, hat and gloves! Blankets are provided!

Upon arriving at the airport and exiting, there was a staff member right in front of me, and I was able to join them immediately. There were only three groups, so we departed without much waiting. It was smooth, which was great.
空港へつき、出口へ出ると目の前にスタッフのかたがいらっしゃりすぐに合流。
3組のみでほぼ待たされずことなく出発でした。

I had the experience in September. The car was exclusively ours, with no other customers present.
We secured Krispy Kreme donuts and recommended food, and after taking a break along the way, we drove to the summit over 3000 meters high. They provided us with warm clothing and blankets as a precaution against the cold, and while sitting and enjoying warm drinks, we were captivated by our conversation with Yamapi-san, almost missing the sunset (laughs). After sunset, we moved to the opposite side and saw a fantastical moon in a sky transitioning from red to blue.
As it got darker, we looked up at the stars and constellations, received explanations, and observed various celestial bodies through a telescope, creating an extraordinary experience.
Yamapi-san has climbed Haleakalā over 3000 times, so we felt safe leaving it in his hands. I was worried about altitude sickness and motion sickness, but I felt fine, and his stories were very interesting. He listened eagerly to our conversations, making it an enjoyable tour from start to finish.
I will definitely rely on him again when I visit Maui. Thank you very much.
9月に体験させていただきました。
車内は他のお客様はおられず私たちだけで貸切の状態での参加となりました。
クリスピードーナツやオススメフードを確保して、途中休憩を挟みながら、車で3000メートル超えの山頂へ。
防寒対策として防寒着や毛布を貸してくれ、椅子に座って暖かい飲み物をいただきながらの夕日鑑賞でしたが、ヤマピーさんとのお話しに夢中になってしまい、危うく夕日を逃すところでした(笑)
日没後は反対側に移動し、赤色から青色のグラデーションの空の中、幻想的な月を見れました。
周りが暗くなり、空を見上げながらの星座や星の説明、望遠鏡でのさまざまな天体観測が出来、非日常な体験が出来ました。
ヤマピーさんのハレアカラ登頂は3000回を超えているとのこと。安心してお任せできます。
高山病や車酔いを心配していましたが、体調を崩すことなく、そしてお話がとても興味深く、私達の話も熱心に聞いてくれて、終始楽しいツアーとなりました。
またマウイ島に行く際はお世話になります。
ありがとうございました。

I had to quickly book this tour because the buggy tour was sold out, but it turned out great. On the day of the tour, we were picked up at 7:30 at the Sheraton Aloha Landing, and there was a briefing for all the tours at the site (since my English isn't very good, we could hardly understand anything, only the e-bike registration and the location of the restroom). There were six participants in total: a couple from Europe, a couple from Korea, and us, plus the guide, which made for a small group. At registration, we were instructed to store larger bags in lockers. You can buy drinks on-site, but they're not particularly cheap, so I recommend bringing your own.
The instructions on how to operate the e-bike and safety precautions were provided in a video with Japanese subtitles, which was helpful. My wife, who usually only rides a regular bike, was a bit scared, but there was practice before we started, and she seemed to get used to it and enjoy the ride. The small group size and the guide's constant consideration made us feel at ease.
We stopped at filming spots and beautiful views to take photos with the guide. The scenery was amazing! There were many spots where we encountered people on buggies or trolley tours; while the routes were different, I think they covered similar highlights. I had originally aimed for the buggy tour, but seeing the buggies moving slowly in a line made me realize it wasn't the thrilling experience I had imagined. The e-bike allowed me to go at my own pace, and both the handling and speed felt fantastic, leaving me very satisfied.
We returned to the starting point at 11:30 and finished by buying hamburgers at a restaurant (the taste was average), had lunch, and departed for home at 1:00 PM. I chose the morning-only tour, and it was just right.
バギーツアーが売り切れたため急遽こちらのツアーを予約しましたがよかったです。当日はシェラトンのアロハランディングに7:30ピックアップ、現地で全てのツアーまとめてブリーフィングがありました(英語が苦手な私達はほとんど聞き取れず、e-bikeの受付とトイレの場所だけ理解できました)。e-bikeは欧米人夫婦、韓国人夫婦と私達夫婦の6人の参加者+ガイドさんの少人数でした。受付時に荷物が大きい方はロッカーに預けるよう指示されます。現地で買えますが、特別安くはないので飲み物持参をオススメします。
操作法や注意事項の説明は動画で、日本語字幕があり助かりました。普段ママチャリしか乗らない妻は怖がっていましたが、スタート前に練習もあり、道中は慣れて楽しめたようです。少人数で、ガイドさんが常に気遣ってくださったのも安心でした。
映画の撮影スポットや景色がいいところで自転車を止め、その都度ガイドさんに写真を撮っていただけました。景色最高です!途中でバギーやトロリーツアー?の方々とも一緒になるスポットも多く、ルートは違うのでしょうが共通点もあり見どころは押さえてあると思います。もともとバギーツアーを狙っていましたが、バギーがゆっくり列で進んでいたのを見ると、私がイメージしていた疾走感のあるものではなさそうだったので、自分のペースで進めるe-bikeは操作感、疾走感ともに非常に気持ちがよく大満足でした。
11:30にスタート地点に戻って終了、レストランでハンバーガーを買って(味は普通)、ランチを済ませて、13:00出発で帰宅しました。午前だけのツアーを選びましたが丁度良かったです。

The tour driver was great! He got us there and through the gate in a timely manner. However, if you are looking for serenity or a peaceful hike, you have come to the wrong place. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy. Had some younger individuals that thought we might all enjoy their music blaring.
This site would benefit from a timed entry system.

Leonard's malasadas, Kahuku's garlic shrimp, and many sightseeing spots, plus the honu popping its head out of the sea, were amazing!
However, I wish we could have sampled some fruits at the fruit farm after the garlic shrimp.
Also, the guide's explanations were hard to hear from the back seat because the microphone was muffled, so I wanted to hear a bit more.
Mahalo!
レナーズのマラサダ、カフクのガーリックシュリンプ、たくさんの観光名所に、ホヌも海から顔だしてくれて最高てした!
ただ、ガーリックシュリンプの後のフルーツ農園ではフルーツの試食出来たらよかったなーと思います。
あと、ガイドさんの説明が後ろの席だとマイクがこもっていてところどころ聞こえにくかったので、もう少し聞きたかったてす。

I looked for staff at Inoue Airport's Terminal 2 at 7 PM, but there was no one there. When I asked around, everyone said they didn't know, so I thought about taking a taxi. I asked an airline staff member again and found out it was at Terminal 1, so I hurried over, but there were no staff there either. There were many Roberts cars, so I asked a driver, but he said he didn't know. After making an inquiry, I finally managed to get a ride.

The day of the tour was just one day before the full moon, and with 98% moonlight, it was too bright to see a perfect starry sky (I should have checked the lunar calendar in advance...). However, the sea of clouds below was breathtaking, and the sunset from the summit at an elevation of 4,207 meters was truly beautiful and very moving.
Our tour guide, Stephan, was very friendly and, despite being a tall foreigner, he grew up in Japan and speaks fluent Japanese. He was very kind, took many photos for us, and even sent us some amazing starry sky pictures he had taken in the past via AirDrop. The vegetarian sandwich was also very delicious, and the cocoa he made for us at the summit was incredibly tasty and warming. Thank you for a wonderful experience and memories.
ツアー当日は満月の一日前で、月明かり98%ということで満点の星空を見るには明るすぎたのですが、(事前にちゃんと月齢カレンダーを確認すべきでした、、)雲を下に見る雲海は絶景で、標高4207mの山頂からのサンセットは本当に綺麗で、とても感動しました。
ツアーガイドのステファンさんはとても気さくで見た目は背の高い外人さんですが、バリバリの日本育ちとのことで、日本語ペラペラで、とても親切で写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、過去に撮影した素晴らしい星空の写真もAirDropで送ってくださいました。
ベジタリアンサンドイッチもとても美味しく、山頂で入れてくれたココアはとっても美味しくてあたたまりました。素敵な体験と思い出をありがとうございました。

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

The pickup location for the bus on the way there was hard to find. (There were many people from other tours, and we couldn't tell what our bus looked like.)
As for the horseback riding, we could hear the sound of the waves and got splashed by the sea spray, and the wind felt pleasant. The horse was calm and occasionally stopped to graze, which was enjoyable as well. Riding along the coast, something we can't do in Japan, was a valuable experience.
In Haleiwa Town, we only had time for lunch, and it would have been nice to have a little more time to relax.
行きのバスのピックアップ場所がわかりづらかった。(他のツアーの人たちも多く、自分たちのバスがどのような物かもわからなかった)
乗馬については波の音が聞こえ、波飛沫がかかるくらいで、風が心地よかったです。馬もおとなしく時々草を食んで道草しましたが、それも楽しかった。日本では出来ない海岸沿いの乗馬は貴重な体験でした。
ハレイワタウンではランチの時間しか無くもう少しゆっくり出来たら良かった。
