ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

3000 Meter Starry Sky 3000メートルの星空

Reviewed by: ばろんK

It was a well-prepared tour, and the guide had expert knowledge. If you don't choose a day when the moon rises late (a day when the moon isn't out during the tour), the experience is somewhat diminished.

The guide's personal anecdotes might resonate less with participants compared to Greek mythology or perhaps the theories of Dr. Hawking.

よく準備されたツアーで、ガイドも専門知識を持っています。
月の出が遅い日(ツアー時につきが出ない日)を選ばないと趣が半減します。

ガイドさんに個人的体験談より、ギリシャ神話や、あるいはホーキング博士の持論などのほうが参加者に受けるかも。

Thank you for participating in the Haleakalā Sunset Tour. As you mentioned, moonlight does affect stargazing, so if your travel schedule allows, we recommend choosing dates close to the new moon, or if it's near a full moon, selecting dates when the moonrise is later. (While the number of visible stars may decrease, the full moon from Haleakalā is also exceptional.)

Moving forward, we will strive to improve based on your feedback to ensure that more customers are satisfied. We look forward to your participation again when you visit Maui!

この度はハレアカラサンセットツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございます。
星空観測にはおっしゃるとおり月明かりが影響しますので、もし旅行日程にご都合がつくようであれば新月に近い日程をお選びいただくか満月に近い場合は月の出が遅い日程をおすすめいたします。
(見える星の数は減りますが、ハレアカラからの満月もまた格別です)

今後はお客様のご意見をもとにより多くのお客様に満足していただけるよう精進してまいりますので、マウイ島にお越しの際はまたのご参加をお待ちしております!

I was seen!! 見られました!!

I saw it~☆ After about 30 to 40 minutes on the boat, we spotted a whale in the distance☆ But then, for a while, we didn't see anything... Just as the announcement of "We're heading back to port" came on, a moment of disappointment washed over us, and then suddenly, about two whales appeared really close by~~ They raised their tails and splashed down!! It was amazing!! I was so moved that I forgot to take pictures...

見ちゃいました~☆

でも、それからしばらく何も見えず。。。

Thank you for your comment. It was truly wonderful to see whales up close at the very end (and even two of them!).
Taking photos can be quite challenging. Instead, let's say it was good because it was etched in my "mental camera"! (laughs)

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦 ハワイの海底アドベンチャー <日本語オーディオガイド> 

I went diving on the Big Island of Hawaii!! ハワイ島でダイブしてきました!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The day after arriving on the Big Island, I went on a submarine ride. The weather was nice and the wind was just right, and everyone in my group (from my grandfather to my 5-year-old child, a total of 9 people) was in high spirits.

I was worried about getting seasick and thought I should have taken some motion sickness medication, but as we submerged deeper and the fish appeared before us, all those worries vanished.

The fish I mainly saw were vibrant yellow ones and black and white striped fish. I wish I could have seen more colorful fish like red or blue ones. Perhaps if I had dived in Oahu, I might have encountered a wider variety of fish.

During the dive, there were various explanations in English, and for Japanese speakers, we were given earphones to hear the explanations in Japanese. However, the English explanations were so loud that I couldn't hear the Japanese ones at all, which was disappointing.

That said, the sea was beautifully clear and blue, and I was able to witness truly wonderful scenery, making it a fantastic memory!

ハワイ島に到着した翌日、潜水艦に乗りました^^
天気も良く風も程よく、同行者全員(一番上はおじいちゃんから、一番下は5歳の子供まで総勢9名)気分は上々↑↑

船酔いするかな…酔い止めの薬、飲んでくれば良かったかな…なんて思っているうちに、どんどん潜水していき、目の前に魚たちがあらわれた時には、そんな心配はどこかへ吹き飛んでいました。

主に目にした魚は鮮やかな黄色や、黒と白のストライプの魚が中心でした。赤とか青とか、もう少し違った色の魚が見れればもっと良かったかな…って思っています。
もしかしたら、オアフ島でダイブしていれば、もっと色とりどりの魚を目にすることができたのかもしれませんね。

また、潜水中は、英語で色々と説明があり、日本人に対しては、日本語の説明が聞こえるイヤホンを渡されるのですが、英語の説明の声が大きすぎて、日本語の説明が全く聞こえず残念でした。

とはいえ、海はどこまでも青く澄んで綺麗で、本当に素敵な光景を目にすることができとても素晴らしい思い出になりました~!!

Thank you for participating in the submarine tour on the Big Island. We are very pleased to hear that your family was able to see the tropical fish that inhabit the Big Island. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the Japanese audio guide not being audible through the earphones on the day of the tour. There is a volume adjustment near the viewing point (submarine window) where you can increase the volume to hear the guide better, and we hope you can make use of that.

Additionally, the types of fish you can see vary depending on the sea conditions and the season. Even in the same location, you may encounter different species of fish and marine life, so we would love for you to join us again in the future.

Please come visit the Big Island again!

この度はハワイ島の潜水艦ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
ハワイ島に生息する熱帯魚をご家族そろってご覧いただけたようで、非常に嬉しく思っております。
当日はイヤホンから日本語でのご案内が聞こえなかったとのことで誠に申し訳ございませんでした。イヤホンを挿すビューポイント(潜水艦の窓)の近くにボリュームを調整していただける箇所がございます。そちらを大きくしていただけるとご案内をお聞きいただけますのでご利用いただけると幸いです。

また、魚の種類に関してはその日の海の状況や季節などによってもご覧いただける魚の種類が異なります。同じ場所に潜っても違った種類の魚や生き物を見ていただけることも多くありますので、またの機会にご参加いただきたいと思います。

またハワイ島に遊びにいらしてください!

I used the service on January 8. We were able to see the tails of whales about three or four times off the coast of Honolulu. The meals were satisfactory and matched the price. On the way back on the boat, there were also activities like lei-making and hula dance classes, which everyone enjoyed. I think it's a tour that is definitely worth participating in.

I applied with some hesitation, but I was truly moved to see whales! The kids were also impressed, and it became a great winter vacation memory. I've been to Hawaii quite a few times, but I had never participated in something like this, so I especially recommend it for families with children. The food was enjoyable too! I would love to participate again.

Even if the whales are not visible クジラが見えなくとも

Reviewed by: いがぽん

I participated with my 1 year and 9-month-old child.

Having joined other whale watching tours in the past, I can share my thoughts for comparison:

If you really want to see whales, you should go on a small, fast, and maneuverable boat.

I recommend a small group tour that stops the boat if dolphins are spotted and allows you to dive into the sea.

However, for those with children or those who may feel uneasy about small boats, this large boat tour might be the right choice.

It might be better to join with the mindset of hoping to see whales while enjoying a lunch cruise. The food is quite delicious, and there are events on board, so I think it's a tour that won't disappoint.

1歳9ヶ月の子供を連れての参加です。

過去、他にもホエールウォッチングに参加していますので、
比べた感想を言いますと、


クジラを本当に見たいのなら、速度の速い、小回りのきく
小さい船でいくべきです。

クジラのほかにもイルカが見えたら船を止め、
海にもぐらせてくれるような、
そんな少人数のツアーがお勧めです。


しかし子連れや、船酔いなど、小型の船が不安な人にとっては
この大型船のツアーは正解かと思います。


ランチクルーズしたついでに、クジラが見えればいいかな、
という考え方で参加したほうがいいかもしれません。
でも料理はなかなか美味しいですし、船内のイベントもありますし、はずれのないツアーかと思います。

Thank you for your comment. Our whale watching rate is quite good as well! However, since we are going to see wildlife, it's best to keep in mind that there may be times when you won't see any.

Each cruise has its strengths and weaknesses, so as you mentioned, it would be good for customers to choose based on their own circumstances.

Unfortunately... 残念ながら...

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I couldn't see any whales. The boat was large and I didn't feel much rocking. The top deck was very pleasant. However, there were only a few chairs, so it's best to be at the top from the start. If you don't see any whales, you can get a free ticket for another ride, but there was a long line. There were many foreigners, but there were also Japanese announcements, so there were no particular issues.

クジラは見れませんでした。
船は大きくあまり揺れも感じませんでした。
一番上のデッキはとても気持ち良かったです。
でも、椅子が少ししかないので、最初から一番上にいたほうがベストです。
見れなかった場合、再度の無料乗船券をもらえますが、長蛇の列でした。外国人の方が多かったですが、日本語の案内もあり特に問題ありませんでしたよ。

The crew also joined in the fun, making it a very enjoyable event. I participated in the romance dinner, and the jazz performance was wonderful, with all the food being delicious, which made my family happy as well. The only disappointment was the bus transportation; I understand it was New Year's Eve, but the waiting time for both the outbound and return trips was quite long, and I hope for improvements in that area.

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

It's hot, isn't it, Yamachan? 熱いねぇ、山ちゃん

Reviewed by: まっち~E

Please be prepared for "extreme cold" when you participate. Even though it's Hawaii, plan for significant warmth.

Honestly, my first impression was wondering what kind of tour has a gathering before evening and a disbanding after 10 PM. From a distance, Haleakalā looked gentle and not that cold. (In reality, it is extremely cold.) I got to meet a Nene and captured some orbs, making it a fun tour beyond just the starry sky.

The storytelling by Yamachan was quite passionate, drawing from personal experiences. Regardless of who Yamachan is, I recommend that participants in this tour open their hearts, even if just temporarily. While being cool and rebellious can be understood as self-expression, even small children were quietly listening.

Seeing the night sky with my own eyes was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

あっ、ご参加の時には「極寒」覚悟でお願いします。
ハワイですが、かなりの防寒を予定しておいてください。

集合は夕方前なのに解散が10時以降ってどんなツアー?ってのが正直な最初の印象でした。遠くから見るハレアカラはなだらかでそんなに寒そうじゃありませんでした。(本当は極寒です。)ネネさんにも会えたし、オーブも撮れたし、なかなか星空以外に葉っぱが付いて楽しいツアーでした。

語り部たる山ちゃんのお話は自己の体験になぞらえてなかなか熱いものでした。山ちゃんがどういう人かはさておいて、このツアーに参加される方は、仮初めでも心を開いてご参加されることをお勧めします。
クールで反抗期も自己表現として理解できますが、ちっちゃな子供ですら黙って聞き入っているですからね。

自分の目で見る夜空は素晴らしいものでした。
お勧めです。

Reviewed by: タケ凡

I wanted to ride the Star of Honolulu again after my last trip to Hawaii, and while searching, I discovered a fireworks viewing and countdown course on December 31. Since it was a special countdown, I decided to sign up for a more extravagant and memorable experience.

The Star of Honolulu is not just a simple dinner cruise where you enjoy a meal and the night view; it’s a meaningful experience where you sing and dance with the staff. We welcomed the countdown on the deck, and we were able to see fireworks from both the Ala Moana area and the Kahala area, as well as fireworks from various other districts, making for a truly luxurious time.

I also ordered champagne, but when I requested to change it to a non-alcoholic option (Shanmeri) on-site, they handled it without any complaints, and the staff was very kind and helpful. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

前回の渡ハの時に乗船したスターオブホノルルに再度乗りたく思い、探していると12月31日の花火観賞&カウントダウンってコースがあるのを発見。
折角のカウントダウンなので、ちょっと豪勢に、そして記憶に残るカウントダウンにしたくて申し込みました。
このスターオブホノルル、ただ食事をして夜景を見て楽しむ単純なディナークルーズではなく、スタッフと一緒に歌って踊ってこそ意味のあるコースです。
カウントダウンは、デッキで迎えた訳ですが、アラモアナ地区であがる花火とカハラ地区?であがる花火を両方(その他色々な地区の花火も見える)見ることができ、とても贅沢な時間を迎えることが出来ました。
追加で、シャンパンを頼んでいたのですが、現地でノンアルコール(シャンメリー)に変更をお願いしたのですが嫌な顔ひとつせず対応してくれましたし、スタッフも親切で助かりました。
また機会があったら参加したいと思います。

I participated in the morning plan on December 26. I had joined two years ago, but I could only see something that looked like a whale in the distance, so since it was my last day before returning home, I thought I would enjoy the view from the sea one last time. However...!! From around Diamond Head, whales appeared here and there, jumping one after another!! Everyone was cheering and overjoyed. I saw the very jumps that are often featured in photos on the website right in front of me. I had my digital camera ready and was randomly pressing the shutter, and to my surprise, quite a few good shots came out!! I think whether or not you see whales is a matter of luck, but I never expected such a big show!! It was so much fun. The two hours flew by. The transportation was also very efficient, and I didn't have any issues. You can enjoy the scenery alone, but seeing the whales jump is incredibly exciting!! I definitely want to participate again when I go in the winter.

12月26日午前プランに参加しました。2年前にも参加したのですが、遠くにクジラらしき物が見えた程度だったので、帰国する日だったし、最後に海から景色を楽しもうと思って参加しました。ところが・・・!!ダイヤモンドヘッド沖辺りからクジラがあっちにもこっちにも現れ・・・次々にジャンプするではありませんか!!もう、みんな歓声をあげて大喜びです。よく、ホームページ等に載っている写真そのもののジャンプが目の前で見られました。持っていたデジカメを見当をつけて構え、適当にシャッターを押していたのですが、結構写っていてこれもびっくり!!クジラが現れるかどうかは運しだいだと思うのですが、こんなにも大サービスしてくれるとは!!とっても楽しかったです。あっという間の2時間でした。
送迎もてきぱきしていて困ったことはありませんでした。景色だけでも楽しめますが、やはりクジラのジャンプを見られると大興奮です!!また冬に行ったときには絶対参加したいと思っています。

Everything was excellent. すべてにおいて最高でした

Reviewed by: yuji

This was my first trip to Hawaii and my first solo trip abroad, and thanks to a recommendation from an acquaintance, I extended my stay in Maui. Specifically, I stayed in Maui for 11 days and then planned to spend 4 nights and 5 days in Oahu (I’m writing this on the 6th day in Maui). Since I was going abroad, I wanted to do things that I couldn’t experience on a personal trip! So, I focused on tours led by local professionals.

To cut to the chase, this tour was amazing, and more than anything, I was very fortunate to meet Yamapi in Maui. I was a bit anxious about traveling alone, but there were only five participants in total, including me and two couples, which made for a perfect group size to enjoy the experience.

First, the sunset was an incredible view like nothing I had ever experienced before, and I didn’t know how to express it, so all I could say was “Wow~~~” ^^; (After returning to the hotel and looking at the photos and videos I took with my digital camera, I could gradually feel the greatness of that moment.) In early December, there were very few Japanese and foreigners, so it was nice to be able to enjoy sightseeing in such a quiet environment.

I thought the sunset would be the highlight, but the stargazing turned out to be the main event of the tour. Yamapi, being a stargazing enthusiast, used high-performance equipment to show us some truly wonderful stars and the moon. Both the sunset and the stargazing were so fantastic that it felt like a scene from a movie, making it hard to tell whether it was reality or not.

Furthermore, as you can read from others' reviews, the most wonderful aspect was definitely Yamapi's personality and storytelling. He made sure that all participants were satisfied with thoughtful touches throughout the tour, which is what you would expect from a professional Japanese guide (laughs). The tour, with Yamapi’s storytelling in the car and listening to his favorite BGM, will surely become an unforgettable memory in my life (I’m still in my 20s and want to participate in local tours around the world, but I have a feeling that this first overseas local tour will become my all-time favorite ^^;).

Thank you so much for allowing me to experience such a wonderful tour! I am very grateful to Yamapi and Alan1.

Next time, I’d like to bring friends and family, maybe next year! Mahalo!

今回は初のハワイ&海外一人旅でしたが、知り合いからの勧めもありマウイへの滞在を長くしました。具体的にはマウイへ11日間滞在しその後オアフへ4泊5日の予定です(この文章はマウイ6日目に書いてます)。どうせ海外へ行くなら個人旅行では体験できないことをしたい!というわけで現地のプロが行うツアー重視で考えていました。

結論から言いますとこのツアーは最高でしたし、そして何よりもヤマピーさんとマウイで出会えたことがとても幸いでした。私は一人旅なので少々不安でしたが、他は二組のご夫婦と私のみの合計5名の参加者でしたのでちょうど良い人数で楽しむことができました。

まずはサンセットですが、いままでに経験したことのない絶景でしたので何と表現したら良いかわからず、ただ「すげ~~~」としか言えませんでした^^; (ホテルに帰ってからデジカメで撮った写真や動画を観るとその時の凄さがジワジワと実感できます)12月前半は日本人はもちろん外人さんも少ないので周りがとても静かな環境で観光できたのも良かったです。

そして、私はこれがメインかと思っていたのですが、天体観測が今回のツアーのメインでした。ヤマピーさんは天体観測マニアだけあって高性能なマシーンを駆使して私達にとても素敵な星々やお月様を見せて下さいました。サンセットも天体観測もそうですが、まるで映画の世界のようで現実なのか非現実なのかわからなくなるくらい素晴らしかったです。

さらに、他の方の感想も読むとわかりますが、一番素晴らしいのはやはりヤマピーさんの人柄と語りだと感じました。私達参加者が全員満足できるような工夫がいたるところでされていたので、さすがはプロの日本人だとも思いました(笑)車中や天体観測でのヤマピーさんの語りと車中のでヤマピーさんお気に入りのBGMを聴きながらのツアーは人生で忘れられない旅の思い出になると確信しています(私はまだ20代でこれから世界中の現地ツアーに参加したいと思っていますが、初の海外現地ツアーが歴代1位になりそうな予感がしています ^^;)

このような素敵なツアーを体験させていただき本当にありがとうございました!ヤマピーさんとAlan1さんにはとても感謝しております。

今度は来年あたりに友人や家族を連れてきたいです!マハロ!

This was an amazing Luau.. WOW! Can't say enough about it. The food was amazing, the entertainment, the entire night. We opted for preferred seating so we were escorted right in, greeted with a fresh flower lei and had our picture taken. That was just the start of a truly fantastic evening. It was held near the ocean at the King Kamehameha Hotel within view of the Ahuena Heiau. The Ahu'ena Heiau is the religious temple that served Kamehameha the Great when he returned to the Big Island in 1812. The show after dinner was spectacular, hard to describe with words.

It's quite good. なかなかです。

Reviewed by: Katie

I participated on a weekday in early October before the triathlon competition. We were the only Japanese people there.

Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins, but the boat was spacious, and the restrooms were clean, so I was satisfied with the facilities. There were slides and diving boards, and the slide was particularly enjoyable even for adults.

The meals and drinks were well-prepared, and I had no trouble at all. The staff was friendly and provided snorkeling sets and wetsuits for rent.

We had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling. However, the coral was located at a depth of about 5 to 10 meters, and I could only see the fish up close after diving deep. Even just floating on the surface, the water's clarity was excellent, allowing us to see the seabed well, but the fish were quite far away, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.

I think the boat was too large to anchor in very shallow areas. If you want to see the fish up close, diving might have been a better option.

10月初旬でトライアスロン大会前の平日に参加しました。日本人は我々だけでした。
イルカは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、船がゆったりしていて、トイレもきれいで設備は満足でした。スライダーや飛び込み台があって、特にスライダーが大人でも楽しめました。
食事や飲み物もきちんとそろっていて全く困りませんでしたし、スタッフはフレンドリーでシュノーケルセットやウェットスーツ等も貸してくれます。
シュノーケルもたっぷり楽しむ時間がありました。ただ、水深5m~10m位のところに珊瑚があって、深く潜ってやっと魚が近くに見える程度。水面でぷかぷか浮いて見るだけでも、海の透明度は抜群なので海底まで良く見えはしましたが、魚はとても遠くにいて、ちょっと不完全燃焼でした。
船が大きめなのであまり浅いところには停められないのだと思います。魚を近くで見たければダイビングがよかったかもしれません。

It was moving. 感動でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Haleakalā Volcano is a mountain that rises over 3,000 meters, with its summit above the clouds. The sunset viewed from there is a breathtaking sight as it sinks beyond the clouds, leaving a lasting impression.

Additionally, listening to the guide Yamapee's stories while gazing at the starry sky was heartwarming and intriguing, making me feel incredibly positive.

The tour was very satisfying, as we were shown the moon and star clusters through a telescope, heard stories about constellations, and enjoyed everything from the sunset to the starry sky.

ハレアカラ火山は、3,000メートルを超える山でその山頂は雲の上。そこから見る夕日は、雲の向こうに沈んでいく幻想的な光景で、感動でした。
また、星空を見上げながら聞くガイドのYamapeeさんのお話は、心温まる&興味深い話で、すごく前向きな自分になれた気がします。
天体望遠鏡で月や星群を見せてもらったり、星座の話を聞いたり、夕日から星空まで、大満足なツアーでした。

The whale season has arrived again. This year, the boat will start from December 26, 2011, due to dry dock maintenance.
As mentioned in the comments, we definitely want our Japanese customers to see the natural humpback whales. Thank you for your comments.

Lovely evening

The whole evening went very smooth, from the Transportation pick up to the actual cruise. Very well organized and the food was really good. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well, and everyone in our dinning area seemed to enjoy the evening. The sunset was very nice even on a cloudy evening. The view back into Waikiki was amazing.

I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with my mother and aunt. Since it was my first time riding a boat in Hawaii, I was filled with excitement, but perhaps I had too many expectations, as it turned out to be a bit disappointing... All we saw were the spouts and part of the tail of a whale. However, the crew did their best to chase after the whales, showing their commitment to entertaining the guests. Since we are dealing with wild animals, it really is a matter of luck.

Reviewed by: Yume

When we arrived at the meeting point on the pier, we immediately recognized the boat that was docked. The boat was clean, with tables and benches on the first floor, and only benches on the second floor. There was plenty of space to move around. We had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with us, and there were activities that everyone, from kids to adults, could enjoy, such as watching dolphins and riding in a boat shaped like a float. The staff were friendly and very attentive. They also provided wetsuits for both children and adults (each for $10). We were also soothed by the wonderful views, sea breeze, and music. I highly recommend it.

集合場所の桟橋に着くと、船がとまっているのですぐにわかりました。船はきれいで1階にはテーブルとベンチがあり、2階にはベンチのみ。スペースはかなりゆったりとしています。4歳と6歳の子供連れでしたが、イルカを見たり、浮き輪のような形のボートに乗ったり、子供から大人まで楽しめる内容です。スタッフもフレンドリーで、面倒見のよい方々ばかりでした。子供用と大人用のウェットスーツも借してくれます。(1つ10ドル)素晴らしい景色と海風と音楽にも癒されました。おすすめです。

Incredible starry sky. すっごい星空

Reviewed by: toshi

I have climbed Haleakalā twice during the day, but experiencing it from sunset to night for the first time created wonderful memories.

First of all, since it's a high-altitude mountain, some people may feel unwell if they ascend too quickly, so we gradually climbed with appropriate breaks. The selected rest stops were great, including a light snack at Krispy Kreme and a visit to a town where artists gather, reminiscent of the hippie movement. The shops felt natural and were not the typical forced tourist traps, making the drive before the main event enjoyable.

The sunset at the summit was stunning, with the clarity of the air enhancing the colors in a way that exceeded my expectations, changing beautifully over time and keeping my eyes glued to the view. (For those taking photos, a DSLR with exposure correction might be ideal.) The starry sky was breathtaking, especially since it was a night with a dim moon, creating an overwhelming sense of presence that felt almost tangible. At night, they set up chairs in the empty parking lot, allowing us to comfortably observe while they provided warm coats and blankets for those who needed them. The explanations with a laser pointer were clear and engaging, making it feel like we were in a planetarium. Children were fascinated to see constellations and the Summer Triangle up close, which they had only seen in books.

Our tour guide, Mr. Yamauchi, received high praise from many others as well, and he truly lived up to expectations, entertaining us with natural conversation from departure to return without being pushy. The only minor issue was that getting in and out of the last seat in the van was a bit challenging due to the number of participants during summer vacation (though my size contributed to that), but overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

 ハレアカラは今まで昼間のツアーで2回上ったことがあるのですが、初めてサンセットから夜にかけてのハレアカラを体験出来て、いい思い出になりました。
 まずは標高の高い山で、一気に登ると気分悪くなる人もいるとのことで、程よい休憩間隔で徐々に登っていくのですが、休憩場所のセレクトもいい感じで、クリスピードーナツでの軽食やヒッピームーブメント?の匂いが残るようなアーティストの集まっている街、お土産店的な店でもナチュラルテイストな感じのところで、よくツアーで強制的につれこまれるような、売らんかな的な店ではないところなどがチョイスされていて、本番前のドライブでも飽きませんでした。
 山頂でのサンセットは空気の透明度が違うせいか、色の映え方が素晴らしく、期待以上の展開が時間の経過とともに変化していき目が離せない感じでした。(写真撮る人は、露出補正などしやすい一眼がいいんじゃないでしょうか)
 星空も月齢的に明るくない日であったので、圧倒的な迫力で、手のひらでなでることが出来るような錯覚に陥るほどの感じでした。夜はがらあきの駐車場に椅子をセッティングしてくれ、座った状態で(防寒用のコートやひざかけも希望者には貸してくれました)快適に観察でき、レーザーポインターでの説明も、プラネタリウムにでもいるかのようにわかりやすく行ってくれました。子供も図鑑で見ただけの星座や大三角などをじかに見ることができて、興味をひかれていました。
 ツアーガイドの山内さんも、他の方も絶賛している人が多いですが、まさに期待通りの人で、けっして押しつけがましくはない自然なトークで出発から帰着まで楽しませてくれました。
 夏休みで参加人数も多かったため、移動のバンの最後席からの乗り降りがちょっと大変(私がでかいせいもあるけど)だったことくらいが困ったけれども、他は大満足のツアーでした。

Island Breeze Luau

Reviewed by: Bonnie

We were looking forward to our first adventure in Hawaii... an official Luau. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the history of the story telling. However, one downside was that we were instructed and confirmed to go to one hotel and when we arrived early to check in were told there was no show there that night... after going through channels we were told to go to another hotel and we checked in without issue. The evening was pleasant, we met other families and enjoyed the fun. The food was good but nothing too special but the atmosphere was pleasant, the breeze warm and the mai tai's cold! We enjoyed the experience overall.

This was my first stay on Maui for our honeymoon, and it was also my first time at Haleakalā Volcano. There were other tours available, but I found this one online and chose it. In the end, it was truly great.

What was wonderful was not only the content of the tour but, above all, the guide was amazing. Unlike other tours, we stopped for a restroom break on the way to the volcano, but it wasn't just a restroom stop; we got to visit a town, do some shopping, and the guide introduced us to souvenirs, making even the restroom break enjoyable.

Additionally, the guide took a lot of photos for us and offered warm tea... And the most memorable part was the presentation during the star-gazing and the guide's storytelling. It felt like, as we were starting our new life together, I learned a lot from that story, and it motivated me to strive for a fulfilling life.

I will never forget that starry sky and what I felt at that moment. Thank you for the wonderful experience. I would love to join again with my parents next time.

今回ハネムーンでマウイ島に初めて滞在し、ハレアカラ火山も初めてでした。
他にもツアーはあったのですが、ネットで見つけてこのツアー選びました。
結果、本当に良かったです。
何がいいって、内容はもちろんのこと、なんと言っても
ガイドさんが最高でした。
また、他のツアーと違って火山へ行く途中、トイレ休憩に寄るのですが、ただトイレに行くだけでなく、街に立寄り買物できたり、お土産の紹介をしてくれたり、トイレ休憩までも楽しめました。
それから、写真をたくさん撮ってくれたり、温かいお茶のサービスがあったり・・・
そしてそして、一番印象に残ったのが星を鑑賞する際の演出とガイドさんの語り。
なんだか、結婚して新しい生活を始めるにあたり、あのお話は
多くを学び、そして私も自分の人生満足できるようにがんばろうって思いました。
本当にあの星空、あの時思ったこと・・・一生忘れません。
感動をありがとうございました。

The perfect choice for our family of four! My husband and I weren't too sure at first if our kids would behave for this trip, but we were so glad we went. Not only did the kids behave....they loved it! They couldn't get enough of the colorful fish and sea critters. And the time was perfect...enough to see alot, yet not too long for the kids to get too restless or bored at all. A great choice for us.

It was easy to get to the pickup point right from our hotel, we actually walked! And then the dinner was great. I am a big eater, and a self-professed food snob, but that lobster and five-course meal was truly amazing. Fireworks capped off the night with a bang, and it was just wonderful.
