Hawaii
Yoshi's knowledge and passion for the stars made this one of the most memorable experiences of our time in Maui. We will definitely be booking again on our next trip!
Great food! Wonderful entertainment! Terrific staff! Well worth it. We had a fabulous time!
There were no temperature checks or mask requirements. I think it was due to the convenience of our condominium pickup location, but we did not stop by Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. It was fully booked, and we were with a group of people not only from Japan but also from other countries. There was a guide who spoke both Japanese and English. Yamapi-san paid attention to even the smallest details. When we stopped by the supermarket to buy dinner, he provided detailed advice and assistance. He mentioned that he comes to Haleakalā five times a week, so I felt he was a veteran guide who knows this area very well. His photography skills are also professional level.
検温やマスク着用は無かったです。私達のコンドミニアムピックアップの場所の都合だとは思いますが、クリスピークリームドーナツには私達は立ち寄らなかったです。満席状態で、日本人だけではなく、他国の人のグループと一緒でした。日本語と英語のガイドでした。やまぴーさんは細かいところまでよく気を配って下さります。
スーパーに立ち寄り、夕食を買う時も細かくアドバイス、アテンドしてくださいました。
週5でハレアカラに来られているそうで、この地を知り尽くしているベテランのガイドさんだと感じました。写真の撮り方もプロ並みです。

The staff was very courteous from the bus transportation to the wait staff! Entertainment was enjoyable and the dancers were great and gave an energetic performance. The food was delicious.
what an awesome way to ring in the new year. I am so happy we decided to do this as everyone was so friendly and being on a boat in Hawaii, whats better!
It’s been a really lovely experience from the drive through the sunset to the guided star tour! Very touching ✨
On the day, there was little rain, and it felt like we were running through the clouds during the ascent. However, with real-time weather information and the mountain guide's experience, we decided to wait a bit, believing that the skies would clear. Indeed, the skies opened up, and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful starry sky! Their ability to adapt and respond with such experience, even under poor conditions, was truly impressive.
当日は数少ない雨で、登頂中は雲の中を走っているような状態。しかしリアルタイムの気象情報と山さんの経験で少し待てば晴れ間が出ると判断して一時待機。本当に晴れ間が出てきて、見事星空を満喫できました！条件が悪くても最大限機転を利かせて対応して下さる経験と対応はさすがです。

It was excellent service, hula show and music. Food was ok.
At the dockside check-in they were very helpful. I just showed my confirmation email and she gave us out boarding passes. The dockside hula show was good. They had 2 musicians playing and 3 dancers, it wasn't Cirque Du Soleil but if thats what your expecting go to Las Vegas!!
I loved the meal. The purple bread (made with Ube) was good, it tasted like the Kings Hawaiian Rolls! The steaks are cooked medium rare, which I enjoy but was too under cooked for my wife. Even since she didnt eat her steak she still was full with the Crab and Chicken. The ice cream was delicious. The Mai Tai's were on point.
Our server was perfect. Very attentive to our needs, conversational without being annoying. Extremely gracious and appreciative.
Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was great, the views were breathtaking and the entertainment was fun! The pictures were a delight and our neighbors at the next table were nice. Overall, a great experience.
Excellent performances and Hospitality by the Chief and Family! Loved the excitement and enthusiasm! Buffet was delicious. Souvenirs and photo options were so affordable. Will be bringing my Family back again soon! ALOHA CHIEF AND CREW!!
This was absolutely amazing! So very glad we spent our anniversary on this cruise. The food was outstanding and the staff was wonderful!
Tons of fun! Mahalo to the crew for making this evening filled with fun!
Loved this evening on the water, with the sunset, and delicious food!
I signed up for this tour in Maui hoping for a valuable experience. The hotel pickup made the two-hour drive enjoyable thanks to Yamapi's fun talk. Along the way, we were able to buy delicious local food and enjoyed dinner at the summit.
At the summit, the magnificent crater, 360-degree views, and the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds were enchanting, allowing me to forget my everyday worries. The starry sky after sunset was also amazing; I could quietly gaze at the Milky Way and other stars, bringing back precious memories from my childhood. I'm grateful to Yamapi for showing us famous star clusters and planets through the GPS telescope.
It's definitely a must-see tour!
初めていったマウイで何か貴重な体験を、と思い申し込みました。
ホテル送迎で、片道2時間のドライブも山ピーさんの楽しいトークで楽しく過ごせました。途中おいしいローカルフードも買えて、山頂での夕食を堪能しました。
山頂では壮大なクレーター、360度の眺望、雲海に沈む夕日が幻想的で、日頃の些細な悩みなど吹っ飛ぶ経験が出来ました。落日後の星空がまた最高で、天の川その他もろもろの星たちを静かに眺めることができ、遠い子供のころ観た記憶も蘇る貴重な体験でした。山ピーさんが、GPS天体望遠鏡で次々と有名な恒星群や惑星を見せてくれたことにも感謝です。
とにかく必見のツアーであることは間違いないです。

Definitely a splendid evening, whats better than being on the beautiful Waikiki waters
Astounding! My husband and I looked forward to this tour for three years. Covid decided to interrupt. It was well worth the wait and then some. Huge fans of the show. McGarret’s house was surreal. Actually being there blew us away.
More importantly, Sean (not Flippa) was sensational. Cannot say enough about him. Here goes: Professional, personable, polite, informative, thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient. Kind and went above and beyond. By far the best tour guide we’ve had on all our trips to Hawaii. Just pleasant to be around and always accommodating and ready to answer any questions we had whether it by about Five 0 or just Hawaii in general. Hawaii Five 0 fans shouldn’t miss this tour,
Only downfall was not meeting Flippa.
The powerful dances of the men, the delicate and gentle dances of the women, and the authentic fire dance were overwhelming; it was a great experience. The food was also delicious.
様々な迫力ある男性の舞、可憐で優しげな女性の踊り、本格的な火踊りには圧倒される、良い体験だった。食事も美味しかった。

I have attended this luau on more than one occasion. The food is good, the entertainment is great. Wonderful fire show!
the food was really good, we had such a great time loved every show, but our favorite was the fire one, definitely recommend!
Noni our tour guide made this experience even better! I have a young child and he engaged with him and made the day fun. Pearl Harbor was somber and something like I’ve never experienced. The USS Battleship Missouri was neat as well. Be sure to get some Dole whip at the snack stand before you leave!
This sunset dinner cruise was a truely amazing experience for myself and my partner.
The three course dinner was ok, the appetiser and dessert were nothing special, but the main meal was incredible!!! We both couldn’t get enough of the crab!
The dancers were all very talented and was great entertainment onboard.
The singer and his niece also provided great entertainment in between meals.
The fireworks towards the end was also an amazing experience I will not soon forget.
One thing that stopped this from being a 5-star experience was that we were sat opposite a random couple on the same table as us, making this ‘date night’ a lot more awkward than we had expected.
It's on my list of 10 things I want to do before I die! I want to see the starry sky at Haleakalā. After three years due to the pandemic, I'm finally back in Hawaii, and it's my first time on Maui. I immediately signed up for a stargazing tour. On the day of the tour, we were picked up at the hotel at 3:30 AM. There were two young Japanese couples and two senior women, including us. Our guide, Mr. Yamapi, was very talkative! I found myself chatting along too (laughs). We bought donuts at Krispy Kreme and poke at Foodland. Off we went to Haleakalā! We took a bathroom break at the visitor center. As we acclimated to the altitude, we made our way to the summit. As soon as we arrived at the top, a blizzard hit.
"Don't worry! I've secured the fifth point, so I will definitely show you," Mr. Yamapi said confidently. We started our descent in a blizzard where we could barely see a meter ahead. Running down the dark (or white?) mountain path from 3055 meters felt like home. And then, at the second point, we got to see the sunset at the same height as the clouds! It was moving. Then it started raining again, and we began to move. I wondered if Mr. Yamapi was navigating by watching the clouds. At the third point, he quickly set up chairs, telescopes, and other equipment...
"Don't look at the sky until I say it's okay," he told us, raising our excitement! We were fully prepared with borrowed warm clothing, and off we went! Wow! It was emotional! Even though it was a blizzard! Even though it was pouring rain! The strong winds were still trying to blow us away!
The 360-degree starry sky was perfect. It was truly the skill of a veteran guide! I'm really glad I participated. I will surely be moved every time I go. I think I will definitely return to see that starry sky again! I plan to go back to Haleakalā to deliver some pickled vegetables as a souvenir for Mr. Yamapi!
死ぬまでにやりたい10の事。のリストに入ってる！
ハレアカラの星空を観たい。コロナ禍で3年振りのハワイ。そして初めてのマウイ島。真っ先に星空ツアーを申し込んだ。当日ホテル3:30にピックアップ。2名の若い日本人カップルと私たちシニア女性2人組。ガイドの山Pさんが喋る喋る！私もつられて喋る（笑笑）クリスピークリームでドーナツを買い。フードランドでポケを買い。いざハレアカラへ！ビジターセンターでトイレ休憩。高地に身体を慣らしながら頂上へ。頂上に着いた途端猛吹雪。
『大丈夫ですよ！第五ポイントまで確保してありますから必ずお見せします』自信満々の山Pさん。
1m先も見えない吹雪の中下山開始。3055mから真っ暗（真っ白？）な山道を我が庭のように走り出す。なんと‼︎!第二ポイントで雲と同じ高さからのサンセットが見える‼︎感動。そしてまた雨が降り出し、移動開始。もしかしたら山Pさんは雲を見ながら移動してたのかな？第三ポイントで素早くイスや望遠鏡やもろもろ用意して、、、、、
『いいって言うまで絶対空見ないでくださいよ』
なんて言われて、ドキドキ期待が高まる！防寒着を貸してもらい万全の体制でいざ‼︎
うわー！泣ける！吹雪だったのに！豪雨だったのに！今も強風で飛ばされそうだけど！
ぐるり360度満点の星空です。ベテランガイドの成せる技ですね！本当に参加して良かったです。何度行ってもきっと感動するでしょう。必ずまたあの星空を観に戻ると思います！山Pさんに漬け物のお土産を届けにもう一度ハレアカラへ！

So much fun . Easy to book and get on the boat. Such a nice staff. Would go again.
It was great to finally visit Hawaii again, and the Haleakalā sunset tour on Maui was just as wonderful as I had hoped. This time, it was especially enjoyable because my son, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, joined us.
久しぶりのハワイ、マウイ島で楽しみにしていたハレアカラ山頂夕日ツアーはやっぱり良かったです。特に今回は、ハワイが初めての息子も一緒でしたので、特に楽しいツアーになりました。

We spent a very good time there. Our guide, his name is translated as Handsome in English as per his words was Amazing. He told us interesting stories all throughout the way. Also he explained everything in details before our tour.
As a first time visitor to Hawaii, this 7 hour tour of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor covered everything I was hoping for. Our guide Finny was extremely knowledgable and courteous. The first part of the tour focused on the history of the islands, the culture prior the American annexation and the impact of our occupation on the people and their culture. In addition to taking us to many historical sites, Finny pointed out some familiar Hawaii 50 filming locations and the harbor where the Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour started. The 2nd part of the tour was Pearl Harbor. The visit included dedicated tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial (where the war started) and the USS Missouri Battleship (where the Japanese surrendered to General MacArthur. Finny pointed out many interesting details of the attack and some of the heroes of the day, that I was not previously aware of. The visit was a very moving and memorable experience.
Security does not allow you to enter the base with any back packs or bags. You can carry small items like cell phones and a water bottle. Storage lockers are available.
I highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu.
I highly recommend this! Really funny, informative and truly amazing talent.
Really pretty to see the sunset sky, and to enjoy an evening in Waikiki
Arizona was an experience, I am so thankful I got to do this while I was here.
