Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

An enjoyable experience even with clouds

Reviewed by: Deb, 2024/09/23

The evening of our tour wasn't the best as the clouds wouldn't leave the top of Mt. Haleakala. So, we didn't see the sunset nor the stars. Yoshi did take us to to other locations as we descended Haleakala and FINALLY the stars could be seen. We viewed the heavenlies for at least 30 minutes if not more. What fun!! And Yoshi provided us with coats and blankets to keep us warm. The donuts and hot coffee and tea was appreciated as well. It was a fun evening.

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Jess, 2024/09/18

Our stargazing tour with Yoshi was an experience we won't forget! Yoshi was very knowledgeable about Haleakala and so many stars and constellations. He made sure that our tour had an ideal, not crowded spot for the sunset and stargazing (despite the large crowds in other areas). He provided hot tea, warm jackets, and chairs for viewing, and made sure that each person got a chance to gaze through his telescope while he pointed out constellations and planets. He also had very convenient pickup/drop-off locations. We would definitely recommend it!

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>

マウイに行くならハレアカラ

Reviewed by: あさだ, 2024/09/07

当日は台風一過で天候にも恵まれ、また新月だったこともあり星空観察には最高の日でした。山頂までに度々休憩を挟んでいただいたおかげで高山病にもならず、絶景を思う存分楽しむことができました。360°星空が見渡せる穴場スポットへ連れて行っていただき、星座を星座として認識できた感動はひとしおでした。スーパーでのおすすめ情報や山頂での温かいお茶など、やまぴーさんのお気遣い・お人柄が素晴らしく、海外でこのようなおもてなしを受けるとは思ってもみませんでした。今回のマウイ島旅行で一番の思い出となりました。また違う季節に参加してみたいです。ありがとうございました!

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

An Unforgettable Haleakalā Sunset Experience with an Outstanding Guide

Reviewed by: Rika + Andrew, 2024/09/02

We've been on many excursions during our travels, but this one was by far the most memorable and breathtaking. Yoshi, our guide, was incredibly friendly and professional—one of the best we've ever had. We appreciated the seamless pick-up and drop-off service, and Yoshi made the long ride enjoyable with his great conversation. He's also perfectly bilingual in English and Japanese, which was a huge plus.

The view from the Haleakalā summit and the experience of watching the sunset were beyond words. We loved every moment of it and wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Lynn, 2024/08/31

What an experience. 10,000 feet up above the clouds and then to watch a mesmerising sunset followed by Stargazing and seeing the moon up close all with a fantastic guide. It all felt so surreal and would reccommend to anyone as a bucket list thing to experience with memories to last a lifetime.

Reviewed by: クッキー, 2024/08/16

雲の上からの素晴らしいサンセット、触れそうな星空、全てが言葉にはできない絶景で、大満足でした。山頂はビジターもたくさん来てますが少し離れた絶景スポットをこのツアーで占領。ゆったりとポケ丼を食べながらサンセットから星空を思う存分鑑賞することができました。3000メートルまで行くので、途中休憩を取りながらゆっくり登って行ってくれます。このツアーなら足腰弱くなっても行けそうかなあと思いました。写真の撮り方もたくさん教わり、絶景写真やタイムラプスも撮れました!
 サンライズとどちらにするか、迷ってましたが、こちら絶対おすすめです。何より山Pさんのホスピタリティや楽しいお話や、温かい飲み物まで準備してくださるお心遣いにも感動しました・:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Great experience!

Reviewed by: T Chalfe, 2024/07/14

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Yoshi was knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. There are coats and blankets to use once you are at the top. Yoshi sets up chairs, takes pictures, provides hot tea or coffee and donuts, and does just the right amount of talking that provides information without disturbing your time to enjoy the whole experience. A packed dinner is necessary although we made a stop at the Kula Marketplace where food was available to purchase before getting to Haleakala. We are so glad we did this tour!!!

Maui Stargazing and Haleakala Sunset Tour

Reviewed by: Jen, 2024/07/11

Tour was great from start to finish. Yoshi was kind and knowledgeable. He thought of everything from hot tea, candy, and Krispy cream donuts. It was a very windy evening and he changed up plans on the fly to get us out of the wind and get us the best stargazing experience he could. I would definitely book a tour with Yoshi again.

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

AMAZING experience! 10/10 would recommend, JUST DO IT

Reviewed by: Maui Lover, 2024/06/25

We went to the top of Haleakala with Yoshi, and it was a wonderful experience. We felt safe which was great. I would recommend going with a tour if you're going to go stargazing because the drive down the mountain esp in the dark can be a little daunting....no guardrails between 7,000-10,000 ft, winding roads on side of cliff, with no/very little lights on the sides of the road.
The stars and the sunset were breathtaking!!! We were literally above the clouds. Everything was provided like hot tea, blankets, warm jackets, a telescope and a pair of stand-up binoculars.
Highlight of our trip. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of our tour guide Yoshi - the donuts for everyone, opportunities for photo taking...Thank you Yoshi!!!

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Amazing views, wonderful guide!

Reviewed by: Tom, 2024/06/13

Had an excellent experience - pickup from our location on the western side of Maui was easy and extremely convenient. The guide, Yoshi, is very friendly and knowledgeable about the island, and a very courteous travel leader. It's a long ride up the mountain, but there are plenty of spots to acclimate to the changes. It gets cold no matter the time of year, but the provided coat and warm drinks will help considerably! Still, safe to bring more warm gear like a hoodie.

The sunset and stargazing part of the tour are breathtaking. It's a truly one of a kind location and expeeience that I can't recommend enough to anyone curious about it.

Our entire family (ages 17 to 55) really enjoyed this tour. Yoshi was a great guide and made sure we enjoyed the experience by providing chairs, warm clothing, blankets, and hot drinks. He also took pictures and gave hints on taking great pictures. Haleakalā is a great experience and is truly another world. You go above the clouds at 10K feet, so you don’t need to worry about visibility, and the star gazing is amazing. Unique and great experience!

Maui Haleakala Helicopter Tour with Road to Hana Sightseeing & Beachside Lunch

Great day to explore Hawaii!!

Reviewed by: Jessie, 2024/06/04

Sammie was our pilot, and we were fortunate enough that it was just our family on the flight. She made us all feel extremely welcomed and took the time to learn our names, which made our flight that much better. We also all enjoyed the fact that our pilot was an instructor and a female (the world needs more female pilots) With a smaller group it’s easier to be more open and ask more questions about what you’re seeing. No one in our family has ever ridden on a helicopter, but we have all flown and it was awesome!! Planes can only maneuver so much, but helicopters give you a different look and feel of flying. Regardless of where you are sitting you get the opportunity to see all that nature has to offer firsthand. It’s also nice to know that everything was being videoed so you can spend more time looking and less time trying to capture it on your phone. She also was a wealth of knowledge around all things in Hawaii and offered recommendations on additional things for us to see.

Our tour guide was ready and waiting for us at the airport as we landed from the helicopter tour with Sammie. He was extremely welcoming and easily buildings one on one relationships with people. He had a very rich background of experiences which he easily incorporated into all aspects of the tour. From local language, culture, history, nature, driving habits of locals vs. tourists, and stops to get one of a kind eats (shave ice… not shaved ice) we experienced it all. My family was the only group, so we all got to spread out and experience that limo van. We had a beachside lunch overlooking black sand beach and got to experience local foods and stories of the area. We got time to visit the beach and got some great pics within a lava tube. The beach was a little busy, but we still found a spot. He also had a vast knowledge of everything we drove by and experienced. We were also surprised at how smooth the ride was. We had just done the Garden of the Gods a few days before.

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Stargazing in Maui May 2024

Reviewed by: Steve and Monhee, 2024/06/01

Our Star Gazing tour with Yoshi was better then we even expected! His knowledge of the star field was appreciated and he fully explained the stops for altitude acclimation and conditions we could expect at the summit. He also stopped to pick up donuts to share before the sunset viewing.
We initially stopped near the fairly crowded observatory area for picture taking, but he then drove us to a more secluded spot where we were able to enjoy the sunset and nighttime views in almost total isolation.
Though we came prepared with hoodies and midweight jackets, gloves and hot coffee, Yoshi had hot water available for making green tea or other beverages, as well as any additional jackets and blankets if needed.
Yoshi set up a high powered binocular stand and a telescope for viewing several star clusters, and luckily we were also able to see the Southern Cross. Perhaps the best feature, though, was lying on our backs and just looking at the star filled sky, which was an almost transcendental experience.
We had previously driven up Mauna Kea years ago, and being able to relax and enjoy the view on the ascent, rather than having to concentrate on the road, especially on the way down after nightfall was well worth the cost.
Avoid the big Hotel tour groups and book with Maui Allstars for a more personalized trip and I am sure you will not regret it. Apologies that night photo did not have appropriate exposure setting to really display the stars.

마우이 할레이칼라는 해돋이로 유명하지만

Most wonderful experience, highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Palmer Family, 2024/04/11

Yoshi is a wonderful passionate guide. I can not say enough about our sunset and stargazing experience. Yoshi not only loves what he does but shared that excitement with all of us on the tour. Our tour ended up just being our family of 5 (ages 73, 60, 31, 30 and 29). The knowledge and laughter Yoshi shared with us along with his special spot for viewing was absolutely amazing. He also shared donuts, hot tea/coffee, blankets, chairs and coats. This was welcomed as the temperature dips after the sun goes down (even for Buffalo, NY natives). The stargazing we did with his telescopes and the knowledge he shared of how to take some very interesting photos was wonderful. I would not only recommend this tour to all but will take it again if I find myself in Maui again.

Thank you Yoshi for such a memorable family experience.

Out of the world experience

Reviewed by: Deborah, 2024/03/30

I couldn’t ask for more and really had a fantastic time. Yoshi was very accommodating, we are a family of 4 and the experience was shared with another 2 people. A relatively small group, and the transport was super comfy, water and donuts was provided, and we had multiple stops prior to reaching the peak to allow us to get used to the elevation. Toilets are clean and oh my the view! Yoshi has a passion in astronomy and we learnt a lot from him during star gazing. He also brought chairs, blankets, hot water and even jackets to make sure we are warm. It is absolutely mind blowing to see the amount of stars that lit up… and best bit ? You felt like you are the only ones in there, we had a relatively quiet spot and the craters are spectacular. Our children 11 and 8 coped well with the excursion. I would join again if I’m back in Maui. Thank you for making the trip so memorable.
