It was my first time in Maui. I remember feeling very relieved to have a Japanese tour in Maui, where Japanese is hardly spoken. I heard many stories related to Maui. The sunset was truly beautiful, and I was amazed by the countless shining stars. They explained each one through a telescope, and I was able to confirm them. It was very cold, but they lent us warm clothing, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to show this to my family. On the way back, everyone was exhausted and sleeping.
初マウイでした。日本語がほとんど通じないマウイで日本語のツアー。とてもホッとしたのを覚えてます。マウイにまつわる話をたくさん聞かせていただきました。夕陽がほんとにきれいでした。そして、輝くたくさんの星に感激しました。望遠鏡で1つずつ説明してくださり、確認しました。とても、寒かったですが防寒着も貸してくださり安心でした。家族にもぜひ、見せてやりたいです。帰りは疲れきって、みんなが寝ていました。

It's been mentioned many times, but I think those who are reading this and are inexperienced might not fully grasp it, so I’ll write it down even if it overlaps with other reviews.
"You should participate in this tour while it's available."
"There are only three companies that can conduct stargazing tours: American, Korean, and this Yamapi."
"The entry restrictions for the tour are strict, so you should apply immediately as there's no guarantee you can participate."
First of all, Yamapi mentioned that they might only be able to continue for a few more years, so this wonderful experience is something you can only have now. Among the three companies with operating permits, you can only choose between the American company, which has just started a few years ago, or Yamapi's tour, excluding the rather careless Korean company. However, reaching the summit at 3055m (even by car) is more challenging than you might imagine. There is no more comfortable tour than Yamapi's, which has over 3000 successful runs and exceptional hospitality.
Also, even though it's a tour company, there are limits on the number of people they can take, so booking early is wise.
As for the tour content, it’s not just about being driven to the summit to casually watch the sunset and stars. Along the way, they explain about the towns of Lahaina and Kahului as you ascend the mountain. To avoid altitude sickness, they stop at a donut shop and make multiple restroom breaks, showing great attention to detail. Everyone buys a bento, and for some reason, the timing for the sunset is perfect, which is truly moving. You can also see the green flash, and Yamapi takes photos of each group. It's recommended to bring a digital camera rather than just a smartphone. Enjoy waiting for the night while eating your bento and stargazing. It’s not just about looking up at the night sky. The stargazing experience with two professional telescopes and explanations exceeds all expectations. It’s something you absolutely must see and hear. On the way back, they safely navigate the dark, steep roads.
As I write this, I feel like I’m not conveying the greatness of this tour at all. Please participate, see, hear, and be impressed and moved. Your reason for coming to Maui will be significantly enhanced!
何度も書かれていることですが、おそらくこれを読んでいる未経験者の方々にはピンと来ていないだろうと思いますので、他のレビューと重複するかもしれませんが書いておきます。
『このツアーがあるうちに参加しておくべき』
『星空ツアーが催行できる会社は米国系・韓国系とこのヤマピーさんの三社のみ』
『ツアーの入山規制が厳しくて、必ず参加できるとは限らないからすぐに申し込むべき』
まず、ヤマピーさんもあと数年しか続けられないと話されていますので、この素晴らしい体験が出来るのも今しかないってことです。催行許可を持っている三社の中で、最もいい加減な韓国系は除いて、まだ始めて数年の米国系 or ヤマピーさんのツアーどちらかに参加するしかありませんが、3055mへの登頂は(車で行くとはいえ)想像以上に厳しいのが事実。催行回数3000回を超えるヤマピーさんの経験とホスピタリティに勝る快適なツアーはありません。
また、ツアー会社といえど入山させることが出来る人数には制約上限りがありますので、早め早めの予約が吉です。
肝心のツアー内容ですが、単に車で山頂まで連れて行ってくれてサンセットと星空をぶらぶらと眺めて帰ってくるわけではありません。道中、ラハイナやカフルイの町を解説しながら山の中腹へ。高山病を避けるためにドーナツショップへ立ち寄り、トイレに複数回立ち寄る細やかな気配り。お弁当をみんなで買って、何故かタイミングバッチリのサンセットに感動。グリーンフラッシュも見られますし、ヤマピーさんが一組ずつ写真撮影してくれます。スマホよりはデジカメを持参することがおすすめ。お弁当を食べながら楽しく闇夜を待って、星空鑑賞。ただ夜空を見上げるだけじゃありません。プロ用の望遠鏡を2台使っての解説付き星空鑑賞は期待も想像も軽く超えてきます。絶対見るべき、聞くべきです。帰り道も真っ暗な急な坂道を安全運転でしっかり届けて回ってくれます。
書きながら思いましたが、まったく伝わらない気がしますね、このツアーの素晴らしさが。ほんと参加して、見て、聞いて、感心して感動してみて下さい。マウイ島へ来た意味が格段にアップします!
Thank you for sharing such a detailed and insightful experience. I hope to continue conveying inspiration to many more people. I look forward to the opportunity to meet again.
とても的を得た詳細も記して頂いた、体験談をありがとうございます。
これからも多くの方々に感動をお伝えして行けたらと思っております。
是非、又お会い出来ます事をお待ち致しております。

The weather on the day was not good from the morning, but by the evening, the sun began to peek through the clouds at the summit. The massive crater towards the Big Island was shrouded in gas, so we couldn't see it in its entirety, but in the opposite direction, the orange sunset slowly spread over the sea of clouds far below, briefly glowing green before disappearing. The people watching it appeared like silhouettes against the orange screen. Once it was completely enveloped in twilight, we descended a little from the summit and were treated to a starry sky. The stars shone overwhelmingly, covering the night sky, and the Milky Way flowed across the vast sky like a silver river. After nodding in agreement with my partner, we looked through two telescopes at the Large Magellanic Cloud, Jupiter, and Saturn surrounded by its elongated rings. It was truly an extraordinary experience. Thank you to our driver who explained various things along the way, including Haleakalā and Maui.
当日の天候が朝から良くなかったのですが夕方近くから日差しが見えてきて頂上では雲の隙間から太陽がのぞいてきました。ハワイ島方向の巨大クレーターは、ガスがかかって全体を見ることはできませんでしたが、その反対方向にはオレンジの夕日が足元から広がる雲海の遥か先にゆっくりと、最後に一瞬緑に光って消えていきます。それを見守る人々はオレンジのスクリーンに映る影絵の様相。すっかり夕闇に包まれたころ頂上から少し降りたところで星空を見せてくれました。圧倒的に夜空を覆い尽くして輝く星々、大空を大河のように横切って流れる銀河はまさに銀の河、天の川。「こんなの子どもの頃に見たきりだ」と相方とうなづきあった後、二台の望遠鏡で見せてくれた大マゼラン星雲、木星や縦長の輪に囲まれた土星。
まさに非日常な出来事、体験でした。ハレヤカラやマウイなど様々な事を道中説明してくれたドライバーさん、ありがとうございました。
That view is something you can only understand by coming to Haleakalā. Please do visit Maui again.
あの景色はハレアカラに来ないとわからない景色ですよね。又是非マウイに訪れて下さいませ。

Highly recommend the Vow Renewal package! The experience was wonderful from start to finish. The ship is beautiful and staff was so welcoming. We were escorted to our table in the elegant dinning room. Our table was by the window, but every seat has a great view. The package includes cocktails and there are many to choose from. Food was excellent and the presentation was lovely. Service was outstanding! And the vow renewal by the Captain was really, really meaningful. He did a great job and we loved him. They even took photos for us with our phone. (Note: We unfortunately left without taking care of a tip for the Captain and photographer....they really deserved a tip so we are mailing it in.) It was a bit windy so the water got a little choppy. If motion sickness is an issue for you, suggest taking a non-drowsy or ginger-based motion sickness pill before you board. Also, parking was very easy in the gated lot - which is across the street from the Old Spaghetti Factory. We arrived almost an hour early for the cruise, there was plenty of space in the lot, and we had a drink at the Old Spaghetti Factory (a 30 second walk to the ship). Definitely a deluxe experience!

I signed up with my 84-year-old mother. Although she is healthy, I was worried about whether she would be okay reaching the summit, but our guide, Yama-chan, welcomed us warmly without any signs of discomfort.
Yama-chan's thoughtfulness, the enjoyable conversations on the way to the summit, and the clear and detailed explanations during the sunset viewing and stargazing provided us not only with the beauty of the stars but also with opportunities to reflect on various aspects of life through nature.
This tour requires a permit, and it seems that only 11 people can participate in one vehicle. The other participants were also wonderful people, and we all took turns using the two telescopes without any fuss, marveling at the stars multiple times.
I would love to experience stargazing with Yama-chan again while enjoying our conversations!!!
84歳の母と申し込みました。元気な母ですが山頂まで大丈夫か心配していましたが、ガイドの山ちゃんは全くいやな顔をしないでとても歓迎してくれました。
とにかく山ちゃんの心配り、山頂へ向かう道中までの楽しい話、夕日観賞・星空観にはわかりやすく丁寧な説明、そして星の美しさだけでなく自然を通していろいろ人生を考える機会を与えてくれました。
このツアーには認可が必要で車1台に乗れる11人しか参加することが出来ないそうです。
参加された方もすごくいい人たちで二台の天体望遠鏡も取り合うことなくみんなで順番に感激しながら何度も観ました。
またぜひ山ちゃんと楽しくお話をしながらきれいな星を観てみたい!!!

It’s an experiential luau that families with small children and couples can all enjoy, and my family had a fantastic time! Before the show started, there were activities like fire-starting and making headbands using banana leaves, which kept the audience engaged. They celebrated guests who were there for special occasions on stage, danced with the audience, and above all, the chief's stories were very entertaining, making us laugh from the bottom of our stomachs multiple times! The food and Mai Tai cocktails were also very delicious.
The final fire knife dance was impressive! My 2-year-old son watched intently without blinking!
Definitely experience Chief's Luau! The chief and the crew will surely entertain you!!!

This was my first time on Maui, and since my previous stargazing experience on Hawaii Island was very impressive, I decided to participate in this tour, which had received high ratings.
We barely made it in time for the sunset due to road conditions, but I was glad to capture the beautiful gradient of the sky in photos. The stargazing I was looking forward to was somewhat limited because the moon was bright, but I was able to see the craters of the moon through the telescope and take pictures, which was nice.
However, I found it a bit uncomfortable that the seating arrangement in the car remained the same throughout the trip. Those sitting in spacious areas could relax comfortably, while those in tighter spots had to place their bags on their laps and were in close contact with the person next to them, making it hard to relax. I wish there could have been a seat change for the outbound and return trips or that a slightly larger vehicle could have been used to accommodate luggage better.
初めてのマウイ島であり,以前のハワイ島での星空観測がとても印象的であったこと,ツアー自体の評価がとても高かったことから参加させていただきました.
夕日鑑賞は道路状況上,ぎりぎり間に合った感じではありましたが,きれいな空のグラデーションを写真に収めることができて,良かったです.
楽しみにしていた星空は,月齢の関係上,とても空が明るかったので星はやや少なめでしたが,その分月のクレーターを望遠鏡で見たり,写真にとることができてよかったです.
ただ,車の席がずっと同じ場所で,広いところに座っている人は車内でゆっくりくつろげ,狭いところに座っていた人は,荷物を自分の膝の上にのせながら,隣の人にがつがつと接触してとてもくつろげるような感じではありませんでした.

Chief's Luau was such a fun experience. The chief was such a funny person and made me laugh the entire time during the luau. The show was very intriguing, the Chief likes to have the audience take part in the show which made the experience personal. The weather was great the day I went so there was no rain at all which helped make the experience more enjoyable. The food was okay it wasn't something extraordinary but it was still good. My favorite part of the luau was when the chief had a special segment where he recognizes couples on their honeymoon and couples who have been married for a long time. The chief also helped someone propose to his love. He really acknowledges family and makes sure that everyone has a good time while they are at the luau. I would definitely recommend this luau to families and couples.

The schedule was good, and I didn't suffer from altitude sickness, even as an older person whose body responds more slowly. The sunset and starry sky were also beautiful. As for my thoughts outside of the main topic, I first stopped by a donut shop, but it's a place that's become boring even in Japan. Personally, I found it unremarkable. The souvenir shops I visited along the way were nice.
体の対応が鈍くなる老人にも高山病にもならず、スケジュールが良かったです。夕陽、星空も良く見えました。本題以外での感想です。最初にドーナツ店に入りましたが、日本でも飽きられた店です。私的には???。その他の途中に寄った土産店等は良かったです。
Thank you for participating in the star tour. There is one reason we stop by the donut shop: it's to prevent altitude sickness. If you ascend to 3,055 meters on an empty stomach, the thin air and different atmospheric pressure compared to sea level can make you feel unwell. Eating something beforehand tends to help prevent this. Taking breaks several times on the way to the summit also helps in preventing altitude sickness.
星ツァーご参加有難うございます。ドーナッツ店に立ち寄る理由が一つありまして、高山病予防なのです。空腹で3055メートルに登ってしまうと酸素が薄いのと気圧が平地と違いますので少しでも何か食べておきますと、体調が悪くなりずらい傾向があります。山頂まで数回、休憩を挟むのも高山病予防になのです。

They say to shoot for the stars...so why not go for as many stars as you can? Now that I've been on the three star and the five star dining options, I can honestly say that the five star is worth the extra money. Both dining options were enjoyable and both exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food and service were excellent on both cruises, but I preferred the extra elegance of the five star. From the private welcome reception with the captain on the upper deck, to the live Jazz music, and the less crowded dining room, the five star was truly a luxurious experience.

It was such a nice evening filled with an amazing meal, lovely live music and a great view of the sunset. This is definitely more of an elegant feel compared to the Three Star package if you're looking for something a little more upscale. You really can't go wrong with either one though, both are very nice and the food was exceptional on both!

Chief's life story is so touching, and I love how he shares it with the guests. As always, Chief is very entertaining from the beginning to end, always full of laughers! The Polynesian Show, and the fire knife dance, superb!! Incomparable! Aaahhhmazing!!

I participated on the last night of our stay. As mentioned in the comments, there were no other Japanese participants besides our family, and many older couples from Europe and America attended! However, the crew was very attentive, and we were able to enjoy the sunset comfortably! They shared stories about the history of Hawaii, but since we are not good at English, we didn't understand much. However, I think Japanese guests can participate with peace of mind! The food was buffet style and quite delicious. The main sunset was breathtaking! We were able to relax on the boat on our last night! One thing to note... the meeting point is at the local pier, and you cannot park your car at the pier, so be careful. I recommend parking at a nearby pay parking area around Kailua-Kona!
滞在最後の夜に参加させて頂きました。
コメントにあったように日本人の参加者は私ども家族以外はいらっしゃらず、欧米人の熟年夫婦が多く参加されてました!
でもクルーの皆さんも気にかけて頂きとても快適にサンセンセットを堪能できます!
ハワイの歴史のお話など教えて下さいますが、英語が苦手な私達はサッパリ意味は分からずでしたが日本の方も安心して参加できると思います!
食事はビュッフェスタイルですが、中々美味しかったです。
メインのサンセットは感動モノ‼︎
最後の夜に船上でゆっくりと過ごす事が出来ました!
一点…集合が現地桟橋集合で、桟橋に車を止められませんので注意が必要です。
近くのカイルアコナ周辺のペイパーキングに駐車する事を勧めます!

Our first family trip with my spouse and our parents, a total of six people! There wasn't a specific dress code, but many people wore dresses or collared shirts.
Just before the reception, there was a shell lei gift. If you want a lei that looks like a black stone, there is an additional charge. Further ahead, there was a photographer who took pictures and came around to sell them during the show. We declined the photo session and proceeded to the reception.
Unless you pay a special additional fee, you will be guided to seats in front of the stage in the order of reception. Since we arrived just before 5:30 PM, the front seats were already taken, and we ended up in the back. When going to get food, they also guide people to the front seats first. The only soft drink available was fruit punch, and the only other option was lemon water. Since I can't drink alcohol, I would have preferred a more varied drink menu. Our parents enjoyed buying various beers and had a great time drinking.
The food was delicious, and we were all full. The show took place at the beginning and end of the meal. It was a dinner show that was longer and more substantial than we expected, and the whole family was very satisfied.
私たち夫婦と両家の親の6人での初家族旅行!特にドレスコードはありませんがワンピースの方や襟付きシャツの方が多かったです。
受付をする手前でシェルレイのプレゼントが。黒い石?みたいなレイが欲しい場合は追加料金がかかります。更に前に進むと今度はカメラマンが立っていて撮った写真を現像してショーの合間に売りに来ます。
私たちは写真撮影をお断りしてそのまま受付へ。
特別追加料金を払わない限り受付順にステージ前側の席へ案内されます。
私たちは17:30直前に着いたため、案の定ステージ前側の席はもう埋まっていて一番後ろの席に。食事を取りに行くのも前側の席の方から順番に案内されます。ソフトドリンクはフルーツポンチしかなくあとはレモン水を飲むしかなかった。お酒が飲めないのでもっと充実したドリンクメニューが良かったです。親たちは色んなビールを買って楽しく飲んでいました。
食事はどれも美味しく満腹になりました。
ショーは食事の最初と最後にありました。思っていた以上に長く中身の詰まったディナーショーで家族みんな大満足でした。
