We absolutely loved our stargazing adventure with Yoshi! He thought of everything, including taking us to a private spot, blankets, hot beverages, chairs, as well as a wealth of knowledge and some incredible telescopes and binoculars. We were fortunate enough to have a tour with just the four of us on the day of our trip and we enjoyed every minute of it. Not only was Yoshi, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable but he also drove incredibly safely and stopped plenty of times for bathrooms and was just an all-around pleasure. We would certainly recommend Yoshi to anyone looking to have an excellent stargazing experience on Maui.

We cannot speak glowingly enough about the stargazing tour experience with Yoshi. He was such a knowledgeable and considerate guide. He had everything we could possibly need to be comfortable on top of the mountain, and it is so much more enjoyable making that trip as a passenger than as a driver. We cannot recommend the experience enough!

The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!

This was an amazing experience in every step. Our guide, Yoshi, was super nice and cared for each one of us making sure that we felt comfortable and safe on each part of the trip. He taught us a lot about the stars, NASA and the culture of the Island while showing us amazing landscapes and taking incredible pictures of us. He provided blankets and hot tea/coffee to stay warm. Words can’t fully describe this experience. We totally recommend it!

Yoshi was the most gracious, considerate and knowledgeable guide. He gave our family a lasting memory. With the little kind touches of treats and hot drinks and warm blankets, he made a magnificent experience even more enjoyable.
Haleakala is breathtaking! His knowledge of Astronomy and his desire to make our experience unforgettable from beginning to end was the highlight of our visit to Hawaii.
The quiet view of the most memorable sunset we have ever seen and the majestic night sky to wrap up the evening will be treasured forever.
His kind, gentle spirit and true love of Haleakala was more than a tour, it was an experience we shared with him.

Best Lua and fire show in HNL!! We’ve been to many Lua, this show by far is the best. Live action performances are colorful, full of history and beautiful ensembles. We can feel the energy on stage and story telling come to life through dances movements, colorful wardrobes, live music/singing and magical fire show.
The checkin process was easy and parking was smooth. The venue is smaller than them other Lua we’ve been, but we like the intimacy in a smaller show.

The boat itself is fun. You can see the whale's tail. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't understand the English commentary. There is no seasickness. You can also order drinks. I think it's a good value for the price.
船自体楽しい。鯨の尻尾がみれます。英語の解説がわからなくても楽しめると思います。船酔いはないです。ドリンクも注文できます。コスパいいと思います

There were no issues with the pickup from the hotel, the guidance to the boarding, or the transfer to the hotel after disembarking.
As for the whales, they would briefly appear at the surface and then dive below for about 15 minutes. Many participants were intently watching the surface of the water, and when a whale did appear, cheers erupted, with everyone shifting their gaze in that direction, repeating this process.
My initial expectation was to see the whales up close while being splashed by seawater, but it turned out to be more of a distant viewing experience. The captain made efforts to capture them on camera, but I felt that approaching this with high expectations carries significant risks.
集合ホテルからのピックアップ、乗船迄の誘導、下船後のホテルへの移動については全く問題ありませんでした。
問題のクジラですが、水面に僅かに姿を現したかと思うと、15分程度海面下に潜ってしまいます。
多数の参加者が目を凝らして海面を注視しているので、現れると歓声が上がり、そちらの方向に全員が視線を移す、と言う繰り返し。
事前のイメージでは、海水を浴びながらクジラを間近で見られる、と言うモノでしたが、かなり遠景でのウォッチングでした。
船長さんも努力下さり、何とかカメラには納められましたが、大きな期待を持って臨むにはリスクが高いと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are all disappointed that you weren't able to see enough whales. The captain did his best to make it happen, but we are glad you were able to see some. Please come again. We hope to have you experience many whales up close next time.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測が充分に見られなかった様子でスタッフ一同残念に思っております。出来る限りのことは船長も努力しておりますが少しでも見れたことを嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。次回は沢山のクジラを身近で観れたらと思います。

We were picked up by Shorts exactly on time and found our guide to be helpful, kind and informative. He was a great driver and answered any questions we had. He provided clear instructions on what to do when and was very patient with our group that ranged from the elderly in a wheelchair to the young kids. He gave us options on lunch and have us plenty of time to sightsee. Shorts is highly recommended!!!
