This was my third participation in two consecutive years. I joined last March and, due to bad weather, I only paid for the lunch box to try again, and this time is my third.
Last time, the sunset was very beautiful, but there were few stars because it was close to a full moon. This time, although I couldn't see the sunset due to bad weather, the starry sky was magnificent near the new moon! I was moved by how many stars there are.
While sitting outside, Mr. Yamauchi explains the stars and shares various stories, but he tends to speak quickly during the star explanations, which is quite disappointing for participants who are not familiar with stars. Since the stars are so beautifully visible, I think it would be a better experience if we could listen to the star stories more slowly and remember them to take home.
二年連続、三度目の参加でした。
昨年の3月に参加し、悪天候のため滞在中にお弁当代のみで再挑戦、そして今回が三度目。
前回はサンセットがとても美しく見えましたが満月近くで星の数が少なく、今回は悪天候でサンセットは見られなかったものの、新月近くで満天の星空!
星ってこんなにあるんだなぁ…と感動しました。
屋外でイスに座って山内さんが星の説明や色々なお話しを聞かせてくれますが、星の説明の時に早口になってしまうのは星に詳しくない参加者にはとても残念です。
せっかく綺麗に星が見えているので、星のお話をもっとゆっくり聞いて覚えて帰れたら、よりよい体験になると思います。

This was my first time in Hawaii.
I only participated in this optional tour.
The sunset went by in an instant, but the 360° view of the horizon during sunset was breathtaking!
The starry sky in Maui was filled with so many stars, so close that it was dazzlingly beautiful.
However, what made this tour great was not just the sunset and the starry sky.
It was the guidance of our friendly guide and the drive to the summit of Haleakalā!
I learned a lot about Maui, and the guide helped me when I was struggling with English at the hotel.
Honestly, without this person, my enjoyment of Maui might have been halved (laughs).
And the drive to the summit, which I never even thought about... was so much fun!
We drove above the clouds! I never imagined that (laughs).
The wonderful scenery and the guide's stories made for an enjoyable drive!
However, one thing I thought I should be careful about next time is to take it easy on the day I arrive in Hawaii and rest my body.
I couldn't sleep much on the flight there and was sleep-deprived.
If you want to enjoy Hawaii 100%, I think it's best to have a relaxed schedule on the first day.
Mahalo!
はじめてのハワイでした。
オプショナルツアーは、こちらだけ利用させていただきました。
サンセットはあっという間でしたが、360°ほぼ地平線のサンセットは、圧巻でした!
マウイの星空も、すごくたくさんで、すごく近くて、目がおかしくなるほどの美しいキラメキでした。
ですが、このツアーの良かったところは、サンセットや星空だけでありません。
それは、親切なガイドさんの案内や、ハレアカラ山頂までのドライブです!
マウイのことを、いろいろ教えていただきましたし、ホテルでも英語がわからなくて困っているところを助けていただきました。
ほんとうに、この方がいなければ、マウイの楽しさは半減していたかもしれません(笑)
そして、考えてもいなかった、山頂までのドライブ。。。楽しすぎでした☆
車で、雲の上にいくのですから!そんなこと、思ってもいませんでした(笑)
素晴らしい景色と、ガイドさんのお話で、楽しいドライブになりました!
ただ、次回は気をつけようと思ったのが、
ハワイに着いた日は一日ゆっくりして、体を休めることです。
行きの飛行機では、あまり寝ることができず、寝不足でした。
ハワイを100%楽しむなら、一日目はゆとりのあるスケジュールがいいと思います。
マハロ!
I remember that at first, I couldn't speak any English at all and was wandering around the city in silence. I was looking for a restaurant late at night at the Hilton in Los Angeles, and by chance, an employee at the restaurant was Japanese and, seeing me in need, directed me to the $5 staff cafeteria in the basement of the hotel. Haha, that kindness still stays in my heart. Please come back to Maui anytime!
最初自分も全く英語が出来なくて無口で街を徘徊していたことを覚えています。確かロスアンジェルスのヒルトンで夜中にレストランを探していて、たまたまお店の従業員の方が日本の方で見るに見かねて、ホテルの地階にある5ドルの社員食堂だったと思います。笑 あの優しさは今でも心に残っています。またいつでもマウイに戻ってきてくださいね!

The weather wasn't very good on the day, so it was a good decision to change to West Maui. Aunt Loreen from the warm-hearted village of Kahakuloa is a kind person like a god. Haha! Next time, please enjoy the stars at Haleakalā!

I went to Maui to participate in the Maui Oceanfront Marathon, and there was a place I absolutely wanted to visit during my stay before the marathon... the summit of Haleakalā. I was the only Japanese person there, but I waited for the sunrise with the other foreigners and shared that moment. It was the best time... the emotions were conveyed even without speaking English. I was able to understand parts of the guide's talk, and I'm really glad I participated! The breakfast after the sightseeing was also delicious, enjoyed at a beautiful spot in the golf course clubhouse!

Yamapi's quick and efficient guidance was absolutely fantastic. After various experiences in our family, this trip with three women is off to a great start. The donuts, which are not available in Japan, and the various spots on Haleakalā are highly recommended. The story that encouraged us to give it another try really touched my heart. I want to come back and participate again. Thank you to Yamapi and the other participants for the wonderful time. I'm looking forward to the next Hawaii Love event. I'm really glad I came! \(//∇//)\

It was a tour where I could truly feel the wonderful love of family. After all, a family you can talk to about anything is a treasure. I would love to go to the Omiya Hikawa Shrine Festival again. (laughs)

Haleakalā, chosen as one of the world's premier astronomical observation sites, offers a breathtaking view of a starry sky that cannot be seen in urban areas. The gradient of colors after sunset, including the green flash visible at sunset, creates a stunning scene that can be enjoyed all the way until midnight sunset time. The kind smiles of everyone taking photos against this backdrop will become cherished memories for a lifetime. Please come back to enjoy that starry sky space again! I look forward to our reunion.

We were picked up at our hotel at 3:00 am as promised and then taken up the mountain to see the sunrise. We were lucky as it was a clear day and we got to see the sunrise without issue. Once we arrived at the site, we were given coffee and danish to warm us up. We then took our place with the others and saw the magnificent view. We then got back on the bus and went up to the summit to take a few more pictures. On the way down our driver stopped at two more scenic points so that we could see down into the crater. It was quite a view. At the end of the trip, we were taken to a restaurant on a golf course and fed breakfast. The entire trip lasted about 7 1/2 hours. My one complaint would be that the bus was small and the seats were very tight. Some of the taller and larger people on the bus really had to be uncomfortable for the entire ride as two people could not fit comfortably in one row and there was no leg room at all.

I was very impressed by the story shared by Mr. Yamauchi, which made me re-recognize the fact that I am alive here now. I was also moved by his admirable way of living. I wish him continued good health and even more success for the sake of travelers from Japan. The starry sky and the Milky Way were beautiful. Since there were only a few people (5) in one car, we could take our time, which was nice. The bento was just okay... maybe the food at Mauna Kea was tastier... It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your hard work over a long time! It's convenient that you can reach the summit of Haleakalā in just 1 hour and 30 minutes from the base. It's appealing that people of all ages, from little kids to the elderly, can participate. Life has its ups and downs, but I hope that my way of living can bring some energy to everyone. I'm looking forward to our next meeting! I will also talk to the bento shop to make it even more delicious.

I travel to Oahu every year, but this was my second time on Maui. This time, my goal was to see the stars at Haleakalā. I received polite replies to detailed inquiries about the probability of seeing the stars via email in advance, which made me feel at ease despite the nature of the experience. However, due to a dispute in the U.S. Congress, we couldn't reach the summit (3055m) and had to view the stars from around 2000m at the entrance. Nevertheless, the night sky and the stars were incredibly beautiful, and I felt the smallness of myself in the universe. Above all, I was moved by the storytelling and presentation by the owner, Mr. Yamauchi. There may be a relationship between the tour company and guests, but the thoughtful attention to detail allowed us to relax and enjoy the short time we had. From the hotel pickup at 3 PM to heading to Haleakalā, we stopped at places like tea time and gift shops that individuals wouldn't typically visit. I want to go again next year! I highly recommend this tour to everyone; it’s a life-changing experience. ...Studying the stars in advance might make it even more enjoyable.
毎年オアフ島へは旅行で行ってますが、マウイ島は2回目。今回はハレアカラの星を見るのが目的でした。事前にメールで見られる確率は何パーセントだのなんだの細かい問い合わせにも丁寧な返信をいただき、自然相手にもかかわらず安心して行ったのですが、米国議会の揉め事で山頂(3055m)まで行けず、入口の2000m付近での鑑賞となりました。しかし、夜空も星も素晴らしくきれいで、宇宙の中の自分の小ささを感じました。何よりもオーナー山内さんの語り、演出に感動です。ツアー会社とゲストとの関係はあるかもしれませんが、短い時間に気持ちを和ませて参加できる、細かい心配りは最高でした。PM3時にホテルピックアップからハレアカラに向かうまで、ティータイムやギフトショップなど個人では行けない場所へも立ち寄ってくれます。来年も又行きたい!そして、皆さんにも是非参加いただきたい、人生観が変わるツアーです。・・・事前に星を勉強していくと一層楽しいかも。

I participated because I wanted to feel the stars and nature. The stars were wonderful, but I was also able to feel the sun, earth, light, and shadow, and it made me realize once again how amazing it is to be alive. I want to live each day with gratitude as a part of the nature that breathes alongside me. Additionally, the guide was great. There was a slight sense that he was immersed in his own world, but his desire to ensure the guests enjoyed themselves was clearly conveyed. I believe he is someone who lives with pride and does not hesitate to put in effort. I was very moved. I want to express my gratitude.

I participated in the tour on September 24 (Tuesday). It was a "Happy Vacation!" with just the two of us girls. The stargazing was amazing! The Milky Way, which I saw for the first time, was truly beautiful, and just looking at it made me feel so happy!! After moving to Oahu, I still can't forget Haleakalā. The stargazing in Maui is indeed wonderful!
I really resonated with what Mr. Yamape said: "Since our customers have come all the way here, I want to do everything I can for them." I believe that having a sincere attitude towards customers is truly important in any job.
With the countless sparkling stars we saw in Maui in our hearts, I hope to spend each day feeling happy. Thank you so much!! I will definitely go back to Maui to see the stargazing again☆

We used this service for our honeymoon. I was actually looking for a sunrise at Haleakalā online, but unfortunately, all the dates were fully booked, so I had to change to a sunset. Among various options, this was the only one available, and I was glad to secure a reservation, eagerly looking forward to the day. The guide was fantastic, and I was overwhelmed by the number of stars I had never seen before. I saw the Milky Way, Orihime and Hikoboshi, and a shooting star for the first time in my life. I had never been interested in stars before, but it was truly moving. My husband and I were really satisfied with the sunset! Thank you very much!
新婚旅行で利用させてもらいました。本当はハレアカラのサンライズを見たいとネットで探していました。しかしサンライズは時期的にどの日程もいっぱいで予約がとれず、仕方なくサンセットに変更して探していました。色々探した中で唯一空きがあり、予約がとれて良かったと思い、当日を楽しみに待っていました。ガイドの方もすごく良かったし、今まで見たことのない星の数に圧倒されました。天の川とか織姫彦星、人生で初めて見た流れ星、今まで星なんて全く興味なかったんですが、感動しました。主人とサンセットで良かったね!ってすごく満足しました!

At the end of December last year, we visited Maui and Oahu for our honeymoon. I wanted to see the sunset, so I requested to join the Haleakalā tour in Maui. When I called the hotel, they informed me that the weather was going to be tough... But both my husband and I wanted to go regardless of whether we could see anything! That was our answer. When I conveyed this, they replied, "Of course."
On the day of the tour, they picked us up, took us to the post office, and brought us to a yogurt ice cream shop. Since it was just the two of us, we had great conversations, and there were plenty of bathroom breaks. Despite being told that the chances of seeing the sunset were slim, we were able to see it! At the summit, we took wonderful photos, and on the way back, we were treated to warm tea, a bento box, and they provided chairs, blankets, and jackets for us. When I looked up, the starry sky was breathtaking, and I couldn't help but shed a few tears.
My husband, who is shy, also seemed to have a great time talking. Even though it was a tour, it felt very personal, as if we were being taken around by someone close to us. We are expecting a child in November this year, so we would like to join again as a family of three. Please take care of yourselves until then and continue the tours. Thank you very much!
昨年の12月末にマウイ島とオアフ島を新婚旅行で訪れました☆
サンセットが見たくて、私のリクエストでマウイ島のハレアカラツアーに参加しました。ホテルから電話すると、お天気が厳しいとのお答えが…

人見知りの主人もお話出来たこととてもいい思い出だったみたいです。
ツアーなのにツアー感を感じず、とっても身近な方に連れていって頂いてる感じでした。
今年の11月に子供が生まれるので、今度は3人で参加したいと思います。
その時まで体に気をつけてツアー続けて下さいね。

I saw three shooting stars. After that, the sky gradually brightened, and I was able to see the sunrise I had longed for. The summit is very cold, so it's better to prepare for the cold. (Even with a T-shirt, Heattech, fleece, scarf, and gloves, it was still quite chilly.) I actually wanted to go on a Japanese tour, but I couldn't book it for the desired date... However, I really wanted to see the sunrise. I was anxious about the English tour, but coffee and bread were provided on the bus, and I was able to achieve my goal of seeing the sunrise. There was no explanation about the stars, but if you're just looking to see the sunrise, I recommend it. After the sun rises, they take you to a scenic viewpoint. I was also satisfied with the breakfast after descending the mountain. The scenery was truly magnificent.
流れ星を3つも見ました。その後空がだんだんと明るくなっていき、念願のサンライズをばっちり見ることができました。山頂はとっても寒いので、防寒対策をした方がよいです。(Tシャツ・ヒートテック・フリース・マフラー・手袋ではまだまださむかったです。)本当は、日本語のツアーに行きたかったのですが、希望の日にちではとることができず・・・。でも、サンライズは見たくて・・・。英語ツアーで不安でしたが、バスの中でコーヒーやパンなども提供され、サンライズを見る目的は達成できました。星の説明などはありませんが、サンライズを見るだけで良ければ、おすすめです。陽が昇った後、絶景ポイントに連れて行ってくれます。山を下りてからの朝食も満足できました。とっても雄大な景色でした。

Initially, we considered driving there ourselves, but choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!
The hiking trail was longer than we imagined, so driving would have been tough, but more importantly, the owner of Maui All Stars, Mr. Yamauchi, was fantastic.
I was torn between sunrise and sunset, but considering the clarity of the air, he strongly recommended sunset! We were able to enjoy the starry sky at a leisurely pace.
Mr. Yamauchi is very knowledgeable about the stars and provided various telescopes, big and small. He shared interesting and engaging stories that entertained both kids and adults.
The heartfelt services, such as the background music during stargazing, chairs, bento boxes, and warm tea, left us truly impressed.
He was also skilled with digital cameras and made thoughtful arrangements for our photos. We got some amazing shots at the summit!
In any case, if you're going to Haleakalā, I highly recommend participating in this tour.
If I ever go to Maui again, I would love to do it once more.
当初、自分たちで車で行くことも考えていましたが、このツアーにして大正解でした!
登山道は想像以上に長い道のりだったので、運転はつらかっただろうという理由もありますが、それ以上に、マウイオールスターズのオーナーのヤマウチさんは素晴らしかったからです。
サンライズかサンセットかで迷っていたのですが、空気の澄み具合を考えると、絶対サンセットがおすすめ!とのことでした。星空もゆっくり楽しめました。
ヤマウチさんは星空に大変詳しくて、大小様々な望遠鏡を用意してくれた上、子どもたちも大人も楽しめるように、丁寧で面白いお話を聞かせてくれました。
星空観測の時のBGMや椅子、幕の内弁当やあたたかいお茶など、心のこもったサービスで感激しっぱなしでした。
デジカメの扱いにも精通していて、いろいろ配慮して撮影してくれました。
山頂では、驚きの写真も!
とにかく、ハレアカラに行くなら、ぜひ参加してほしいです。
私も、もしまたマウイに行くことがあったら、もう一度行きたいです。
Thank you for your hard work on the long journey! During the summer vacation, there are many children who come to study the stars, so I try to explain things as clearly as possible. The sight of small children eagerly peering through the telescope at the starry sky might just be the future astronauts of tomorrow. Please feel free to come back to Maui anytime!
長い道中お疲れ様でした! 夏休みは子供達も多くて星の勉強にも来るので、なるべく分りやすく説明しています。
小さい子供達も満天の星を一生懸命、望遠鏡で覗く姿は明日の宇宙飛行士になるかもしれませんよね。
またいつでもマウイに戻ってきて下さいね!

I participated on July 27. As the sunset approached, the twilight turned into pitch darkness, making it so dark that I couldn't see my feet at all.
However, when I looked up, there was a sky full of stars... I enjoyed a stargazing walk while listening to Mr. Yamauchi's commentary (*^_^*).
I will definitely participate again next time (^◇^).
7/27に参加しました。
サンセットをむかえ、薄暮から漆黒の闇へ、
足元も全く見えないほどの暗さです。
ところが上を見上げると、そこには満点の星が…
山内さんの解説を聞きながら星空散歩です(*^_^*)
次回もまた参加いたします(^◇^)
Recently, there are many people who are really good at photography, and I am completely impressed.
I will study more about astrophotography too!
I want a DSLR... haha.
最近写真がお上手な方が多くて、全くの脱帽です。
自分ももっと星空写真を勉強してきます!
一眼が欲しい、、、、笑

About eight years ago, I participated in a stargazing tour. As I was visiting Maui again after a long time, my entire family unanimously wanted to join once more, so we made a reservation.
On the day of the tour, there were some thin clouds, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars, but when we looked up at the observation point, we were greeted with a sky full of stars. The beauty of the stars seen through the telescope was, of course, breathtaking, but I was truly moved by Mr. Yamauchi's explanations and stories.
During dinner, there was a question about what food you would want to eat as your last meal in life, and I can say without hesitation that if I could only visit one place before I die, it would be to see this starry sky. Of course, with Mr. Yamauchi's explanations... Thank you!
8年ほど前に参加させていただいた星空観測ツアー。久しぶりにマウイを訪れるにあたり、家族全員一致でもう一度参加したいとの思いで予約しました。
当日は若干うす雲が広がり、星空が見えるかどうか気がかりでしたが、いざ観測地点で見上げると一面の星空。
天体望遠鏡を通じてみた星々の美しさはもちろんでしたが、山内さんの解説や話の内容にただただ感激のひとときでした。
食事中に、一生のうちで最後に食べたい食べ物は何?などという質問がありましたが、死ぬまでに一カ所だけ行けるとしたら、文句なしにこの星空を見に行きたいと言えます。もちろん、山内さんの解説付きで…
ありがとう!
Thank you! Time flies, doesn't it? I was surprised to see how much your child has grown, and it makes me realize that I'm getting older too. (laughs)
But I'm truly happy about our reunion! I hope we can meet again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
感謝です!光陰矢のごとしとはこの事ですね。お子様もだいぶ大きくなられて驚きの再会で、自分も歳をとる訳です。笑
でも本当に再会が嬉しいです!またお会いできることを願っています。心からありがとうございました。

On July 14th, which was exactly between the new moon and the full moon, we were able to see a wonderful sunset with no wind. This was my second trip to Maui, and I traveled with my family (including my 87-year-old mother), but this tour was attended by my six siblings. Since we used a car for the entire itinerary, there wasn't much walking involved, and I thought my mother could have joined us. I was moved by the amazing sunset and the romantic starry sky, and I was very satisfied with the explanations and personality of our tour guide, Yamapi. I would like to participate again during the new moon next time. I absolutely recommend it.
7月14日、この日は新月と満月のちょうど中間にあたり、風もなくとても素晴らしい
サンセットを見ることができました。今回マウイは二回目、旅行はファミリー(87歳の母を含む)でいきましたがこのツアーは兄弟姉妹6人で参加しました。全行程車利用でしたのでそんなに歩くところもなく、これなら母も参加すればよかったと思いました。素晴らしいサンセットとロマンあふれる星空に感動、ツアーガイドのヤマピーさんの説明や人柄等とても満足のいくものでした。次回は新月の時にまた参加したいと思っています。
絶対おすすめです。
One of the features of Maui All Stars is that it can accommodate everyone from the elderly to children as young as three years old. Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii has an elevation of 4,200 meters, so it is generally risky for children to go up. However, Haleakalā is 3,055 meters, so if you ascend slowly, there is no need to worry at all. All parts of the journey can be done by car, which is reassuring, and there are flush toilets available at both 2,100 and 3,000 meters within the national park. Next time, please be sure to bring your mother along!
お年寄りから3歳からのお子様でも参加できるのが、マウイオールスターズの特徴です。ハワイ島マウナケアー山は標高4200メートルなので
お子様が原則上がる事はリスクですが、ハレアカラは3055メートルなのでゆっくり登れば全く心配はありません。
全ての工程を車で行けますので安心ですし、国立公園に入った2100.3000メートルも水洗トイレが設置してあります。
次回は是非お母さんもお連れしてくださいね!

My husband and I heard wonderful things about the Haleakala sunrise, and knew that it was going to be one of our activities on our honeymoon. However, we knew that the bike tour option was a little more daring than we had hoped. After doing some research and finding this tour, we knew that this was the route we wanted to take.
The tour picked us up EARLY (just before 2am), and we boarded the bus. On the way up, our driver gave us the "disclaimer," that nobody can control the weather except mother nature, and it will either be crystal clear and beautiful...or...cloudy and disappointing. Luckily for us, it was, quite literally, PERFECT.
As the sun rose, the colors changed so beautifully and two native Hawaiians sung a traditional chant. We stayed for a few more pictures, then took the bus from the lookout point to summit (quick drive), then stopped at another lookout point before heading down to breakfast.
If you are going to Maui, make sure you take this trip!

I didn't have high expectations, but the sunset at the summit of Haleakalā, the ever-changing mountain weather, and the starry sky that spread out above were all wonderful. I was moved.
あまり期待をかけてなかったのですが、ハレアカラ山頂のサンセットも刻々と変わる山の天気も、満天に広がる星空も 全てが素晴らしかったです。感動しました。
The summer Milky Way fills the night sky with a blanket of bright stars. Looking at Saturn through a telescope is truly a heavenly experience. Please come back to see that starry sky again!
夏の天の川は夜空が白いく星で埋め尽くされます。 天体望遠鏡で覗く土星はまさに天プラ状態ですよね。
またあの星空を見にきてくださいね!

Since I'm going to Maui, I thought I had to visit Haleakalā, so I participated! I was torn between the sunrise and sunset, but I chose the sunset because it was easy with a departure time of 4:00 PM and I could see the starry sky.
As a result, it was even better than I expected! I was moved to tears by the beautiful sunset seen from above the clouds. The highlight was definitely our guide, Yamauchi. I would want to request Yamauchi again when I come back!
One thing to note is that it gets very cold, so make sure to dress warmly, and I think it's better to go when it's cloudy and when the moon is not full! The moonlight can make it difficult to see the beautiful starry sky!
マウイに行くからにはハレアカラにいかなきゃと思い参加しました! サンライズとサンセットで迷ったんですが、星空まで見れて、出発時間が16:00と楽だったのでえらびました。
結果、予想以上にとてもよかったです! 雲の上からみる綺麗なサンセットに感激して涙もでました。とにかくよかった点はガイドのヤマウチさんです。
またきたときには、またヤマウチさんにお願いしたいくらいです!
注意点としては、とても寒いのでしっかりとした防寒をすることと、曇りの時と、月が満月以外がいいとおもいます!月の明りでせっかくの星空が見えにくくなるそうです!
Departing in the afternoon is definitely easier, and since you're on vacation, please feel free to sleep in the next day! (laughs) For some reason, Maui is a place where you can really sleep soundly. The air is nice and it's a quiet place. I look forward to our next reunion.
午後出発は断然楽ですし、お休みに来ていらっしゃるので次の日寝坊を是非してくださいね。笑
マウイ島はなぜか本当にぐっすり寝れるところなのです。 空気も良くて静かな所だからですね~。
またの再会を楽しみにしております。

I had the best memories of any tour I've experienced so far. Of course, it's thanks to our guide. I'm really glad I chose this Haleakalā tour with Maui All Stars. They took great care of us. To prevent altitude sickness, they made sure to take breaks while enjoying the journey to the summit, and I didn't experience any of the health issues I had feared. I truly enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart. I want my husband to experience this wonderful feeling as well. Someday, I definitely want to share this view with him and enjoy the moment together. Of course, with Maui All Stars...
今まで、経験したツアーの中で最高の思い出ができました。もちろん、ガイドさんのおかげもあります。「このハレアカラのツアーがマウイオールスターズ」で良かった。本当によくして頂きました。高山病を防ぐために数回に分けて楽しみながら休憩を入れて山頂へ連れて行ってくださり、恐れていた体調不良も無く、心から楽しめました。この素晴らしい感動を主人にもしてもらいたい。また、いつか必ずこの景色を夫と感動を分かち合いながら眺めたいと思います。もちろん、マウイオールスターズで・・・
Thank you for spending such a long time with us. Even if you go by car, it's 3,000 meters, so taking it easy is the best way to go. If you start running at the summit, it can be quite challenging. Everyone always ends up in a "Love Wagon" state (laughs) and gets along well, so we will continue to aim for enjoyable tours in the future.
こちらこそ長い時間お付き合い頂き感謝です。車で行くにしても3000メートルですから、のんびり行くのが一番ですよね~。山頂で走ったりしたら大変な所なのです。
いつも皆さん最後は 「あいのり」状態(笑)で仲良くなっていて、これからも楽しめるツァーを目指していきますね。

My husband and I participated the day after our arrival in Maui, but due to bad weather, we couldn't see the stars at the summit because it was foggy. We returned and rescheduled for two days later to try again.
I heard that the only way to do a comeback with just the cost of lunch and the national park entrance fee (a total of $15) is through Maui All Stars.
Two days later, the weather improved, and we were able to see a sea of clouds, a beautiful sunset with the green flash, the shadow of the Earth, and a bright moon close to full moon, along with a moonbow that can only be seen when there is no water vapor in the distance.
Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, mentioned that since the full moon was approaching, the stars were not as visible as usual, but we were still able to see many stars, including those not visible in Japan, the profile of Mickey on the moon, and the stripes of Jupiter.
While listening to explanations under the stars, they provided chairs, large blankets, and warm tea, allowing us to lean back and slowly gaze at the stars. Standing and looking up can be tiring on the neck, but sitting in a chair is very comfortable.
This is also a thoughtful gesture from Mr. Yamauchi based on his experience. He set up the telescopes and arranged chairs for the participants without even having lunch himself. It's no surprise that many people have commented on Mr. Yamauchi's character in their experiences.
Since I don't often have the opportunity to see stars, I had a very valuable experience thanks to Mr. Yamauchi. Next time, I would like to participate when it is as far from the full moon as possible.
Thank you very much.
主人と二人でマウイ到着翌日に参加しましたが、悪天候のため頂上まで行っても霧がかかっていて星は見られる状態ではなく帰ってきて、スケジュールを空けていた2日後にリベンジしました。
お弁当と国立公園の入園料(計$15)のみでリベンジできるのは、マウイオールスターズだけだと聞いています。
2日後は天候も回復して、雲海、美しいサンセットと共にグリーンフラッシュ、地球の影、そして満月近くの明るい月と遠くに水蒸気が発生していないと見えないムーンボウまで見ることができました。
ガイドの山内さんは満月が近いから星がいつもよりは見えていないとおっしゃいますが、星もたくさん見ることができ、日本では見えない星、月面の横顔ミッキー、木星の縞模様も見られました。
たくさんの星を見ながら説明を聞く時は、イスと大きいブランケット、温かいお茶を用意して下さるので、背もたれに頭を預けて上を向いてゆっくり星が見られます。
立って上を見ていると首が疲れますが、イスに座るととても楽チンです。
これも山内さんのご経験からの心遣いです。
お弁当も食べずに参加者のためにイスを出して望遠鏡などをセットしていらっしゃいました。
体験談で山内さんのお人柄にふれている方が多いのも納得です。
普段なかなか星を見る機会がないので、山内さんのお陰でとても貴重な体験ができました。
次回はなるべく満月から遠い時に参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
After all, since it's a job that ensures you can see the starry sky properly, we can't use the weather as an excuse. I'll do my best until you are moved! (laughs)
やっぱりちゃんと星空が見えて満足されての仕事なので、天気の理由には出来ませんよね。
感動して頂くまで頑張ります!笑

I usually don't look at stars, so I decided to participate in this experience in Hawaii. The explanations were great, and being able to observe various stars through the telescope was a wonderful experience. Mr. Yamauchi's talk also touched my heart. It's a tour that gives you energy.
普段星なんて見ないので、ハワイでは体験してみようと参加。
解説も良かったし、望遠鏡でいろいろな星を観察できたのがとても良い体験でした。
山内さんのお話も心にしみました。
元気をもらえるツアーです。
There are many stars that cannot be seen with a small binocular. The GPS telescope automatically finds the best stars for you!

We participated as a family. The sunset at Haleakalā was amazing!!!! The starry sky was great too!!! We saw a lot of shooting stars. Since it is at a lower elevation than Mauna Kea on the Big Island, it was easier physically. I think it's good for elderly people and small children. I want to go again.
家族で参加しました。ハレアカラの夕日、最高!!!!
星空もよかった!!! 流れ星もたくさん見ました。
ハワイ島のマウナケアより標高が低いので体力的にはこちらのほうが楽でした。お年寄りや小さなお子さんにはいいと思いました。また行きたいです。
It's also appealing that you can reach the summit in just an hour and a half from the base. However, since it's 3,000 meters high, please take your time going up.
片道一時間半で麓から上れるのも魅力ですね。
ただ一気に行けるのですが、3000メートルなのでゆっくり上がってくださいね。

This was an ultimate favorite trip with Hawaii activities. The most interesting part for us was the star sky and our two guides Greg and Chris. They were so impressive good to tell about the stars and volcanoes. So Hawaii activities be sure to keep those two guys as loooong as possible. Worth every penny!

I tend to get so excited that I want to talk about everything and end up speaking quickly. I'll be careful about that. Our company allows for a redo anytime if the stars aren't visible, so you can rest assured!
ついつい興奮してあれもこれも喋ってしまいたく早口になっているのですね~。気をつけますです。うちの会社は星が見えなかったらいつでもリベンジできますので安心です!
