This cruise beat my expectations. The food was amazing and there was so much that none of us could finish. The outlook and entertainment were fantastic. My kids even got up and danced at the end and my 15 year old daughter told me several times throughout the night how much she enjoyed herself.... a pricey outing that was worth it...

Snorkeling will be on many people’s “must-do” activity in Maui, but so should the Sunset and Stargazing tour in Haleakala with Yoshi! I went with my family and we haven’t stopped talking about how incredible the tour was. Yoshi is incredibly personable and every aspect of the tour is so thoughtful. With 20+ years of living in Maui and leading tours of the national park, Yoshi knows the best spots for sightseeing and has great local knowledge to share on the drive up to Haleakala. His state of the art telescopes allow you to see all kinds of constellations and we even got to see Saturn. The complimentary Krispy Crème donuts were a tasty treat and the music selection was so peaceful. I can’t recommend Yoshi and the tour enough. If you’re wanting to see Haleakala, definitely book with Yoshi. Mahalo!

On my sixth trip to Maui, I finally visited Haleakalā, which I had been curious about for a long time! During the journey, I was told I would regret not coming sooner, and it truly lived up to that expectation with its "star-filled sky" and "natural planetarium."
At the summit, above the clouds, there was nothing to obstruct the stars, and everywhere I looked, there were stars. I was deeply moved by the realization that the light I was seeing had traveled from before I was born.
The constellation explanations were detailed, and I was also taught how to beautifully capture the night sky with my smartphone, allowing me to preserve the breathtaking views both in memory and in photos.
I hope everyone, regardless of age or gender, gets to see that scenery at least once and experience being liberated from the harshness of society. Thank you!
6回目のマウイで、ずっと気になっていたハレアカラ山についに行ってみました!
道中、これまで来なかったことを後悔する、と言われたのですが、まさにその期待を裏切らない「満天の星」「天然のプラネタリウム」でした。
山頂は雲の上なので、星を遮るものは何もなく、どこを見渡しても星。
また、自分が生まれる前の光が今この目に届いているということを実感し、さらに感動しました。
星座の解説も詳しく、スマホで綺麗に星空を撮影する方法も丁寧に教えていただけたため、記憶としても、写真としても絶景を留めることができました。
老若男女問わず、一度はあの景色を見て、殺伐とした社会から解き放たれる経験をしてみて欲しいです。
ありがとうございました!
You can prepare warm clothing, blankets, and hot tea, but the summit is around 10°C and can be cold with the wind, so I think it's best to be well-prepared for the cold.
防寒着、毛布、温かいお茶など用意していただけますが、山頂は10℃くらいで風が吹くと寒いので、しっかり防寒準備したほうがいいと思います。

This was the best tour of my life. You can go by rental car, but there were so many experiences that you can only have on the tour. The tour guide, Yamapi, kindly shared information beyond the tour, so it's better to join early after arriving in Maui. I would love to participate again.
これまでの人生体験で最高のツアーでした。
レンタカーでも行けますが、ツアーでしか体験出来ないことが盛り沢山でした。
ツアーガイドの山ピーさんは、ツアー以外のことも親切に教えてくれるので、マウイ島に到着したら早目に参加した方がお得です。
もう一度、参加したいと思います。
If the event is canceled due to unfavorable weather, it seems you can re-enter, so it might be a good idea to sign up early during your stay. During our four-day stay, the weather was good every day,

On the day of our visit, we had the place all to ourselves. The staff was still very courteous and guided us, allowing us to enjoy the experience from the prime seats right in the center. We had a great time on the day we arrived on the Big Island, and it really put us in the mood for Hawaii. I also got a sense of the history of Lahaina, and I hope to contribute to its recovery.
当日は我々だけで貸切状態でした。担当の方はそれでも丁寧にご案内下さり、ど真ん中の特等席で味わうことができました。ハワイ島到着日に楽しみましたが、頭の中が一気にハワイ島になる気分でした。ラハイナの話もなんとなくわかり、復興に寄与できれば幸いです。
The guidance is in English only. What I realized from my experience is that the best seats are in the center of the front row. If you're going, definitely aim for those seats.

It's amazing that you can drive up to a height comparable to Mount Fuji. The sunset viewed from there, along with the sea of clouds changing colors as the sun sets, was wonderful. As a couple in our 60s, we were grateful for the easy ascent to the summit of Haleakalā, which made us feel like we really got our money's worth. The stargazing was also fantastic. I have participated in stargazing tours in Hawaii multiple times in the past, but this was the first time we each had our own chair, which was very comfortable (I usually end up standing and looking up at the stars, which always makes my neck hurt). Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, provided explanations that were very clear and enjoyable. We will definitely come again!
車で富士山並みの高さまで登れるのは最高です。そこから見る夕日と夕日に染まり刻々と色が変わる雲海は素晴らしかったです。60代夫婦としては、労せず富士山並みの高さのハレアカラ登頂は有難く、とても得した気分になりました。星空観測もバッチリでした。過去にハワイで星空観測ツアーに複数回行きましたが、一人一つのチェアが用意されていたのは初めてで、とても楽ちんでした(いつも首が痛くなる感じで立って星を見上げていたので)。ガイドの山内さんの説明はとてもわかりやすく楽しかったです。また、行きます!

Sunset and Stargazing was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We were taken to the top of Halakela to see the amazing views, then due to the crowds we went a little lower to a secluded viewing area, chairs were provided, snacks and tea. Watched a amazing sunset, were provided Jackets as it gets cold after the sunset. Stargazing was unreal! Two powerful Telescopes were used, saw stars and the craters of the moon like never have. It was a memory of a lifetime.

During the shuttle ride, Yamapi explained Haleakalā in both Japanese and English, providing various tips for the drive. Along the way, he helped us purchase donuts and poke bowls at a supermarket as we headed to the summit. Perhaps because it was a day when the moon didn't interfere, the road was congested, so we took photos with the Haleakalā sign with the people we were with. We managed to catch the sunset and captured a beautifully colored sky. The poke bowl we had at the summit was very delicious, and I can understand why Yamapi recommended it. The Krispy Kreme donuts also tasted better than those in Japan. The starry sky was truly moving, as he explained the constellations clearly and showed us the colors of the stars through a telescope. He even taught us how to take photos with an iPhone, allowing us to capture the beautiful Milky Way with our own phones. I highly recommend seeing the starry sky with your own eyes.
送迎の車ではやまぴーさんが日本語と英語でハレアカラの説明や運転のアドバイスなど色々お話をしてくれました。途中ドーナツとスーパーでポケ丼を購入する手伝いをしてくれて山頂へ向かいました。今回は月が邪魔しない日だったからか道が渋滞していたのでハレアカラの看板での写真撮影は一緒に行った人同士で撮影しました。なんとか日没に間に合ってとても綺麗な日の入りの空が撮影できました。山頂で食べたポケ丼はとても美味しかったです。やまぴーさんがお勧めするのも頷けます。クリスピークリームドーナツも日本で食べるより美味しく感じました。星空は星座をわかりやすく説明してくれたり、望遠鏡を使って星の色を見せてくれたりとても感動しました。iPhoneでの撮影の仕方も教えてもらえるので自分の携帯でも綺麗な天の川が撮影できました。満天の星空は是非自分の目で見てほしいです。
You can borrow winter clothing, but having a fleece or a light down jacket will keep you warm and allow you to enjoy the starry sky. There are also restrooms at the summit, so you can participate with

Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience.

Pros: pig roast being done onsite, got to witness uncovering and presentation of the pig. (my son hated this portion!). menu and performances were both great! I liked different island nations being represented in music and dance and a little bit of story telling/history to tie it together. performance was good length and sunset was gorgeous! desserts and beverages were also delicious.
Cons: attempted to check in entire luau at one time slot. made for a lot of time waisted waiting in hotel lobby check in line. check in inside and then second check in outside felt redundant. we arrived at 5:22, email confirmation had suggested 5:30 check in, but spent several (20+ minutes) waiting to check in. by the time we arrived in luau area, we missed the 'activities' portion of the luau. we also missed the royal entrance of the luau show. we did however have great seats so first-come-first-seated wasn't an issue.
brief meet and greet with performers after the show felt rushed -- they were spread along exit sidewalk and available for a quick picture but were ushering us along immediately, without any chit chat -- which is a huge difference compared to other luaus.
professional photography of your party was an additional $25 for digital download. fresh lei's were an additional $10 each, which in my opinion were reasonably priced but I've had digital photography and leis included at other similarly-priced luaus.
having dined at this marriott the night before and spoken to several guests in the week it seems this particular marriott has become quite overpriced for the level of service and age of property it's become. it has an outstanding location, but is overpriced for the level of service or hospitality i've experienced at other similarly priced marriotts in the islands. pool and restaurants were crowded and bonvoy perks were lacking/zero. kids meals were reasonable, but got charged $10 each for kids scoop of vanilla icecream.
go earlier than confirmation email suggests if pre-show activities or royal entrance are important.
