Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Great experience!

Reviewed by: T Chalfe

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

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.

Haleakalā is amazing. The sunset and starry sky are breathtaking. ハレヤカラ最高　夕日星空感動

Reviewed by: かずちゃん

The long journey from the hotel to Haleakalā was enjoyable with breaks along the way. We were introduced to various types of poke at Foodland, which we enjoyed after the tour at the hotel. Upon arriving at Haleakalā, I was excited by the magnificent scenery. They set up special seating for us to watch the sunset, and the colors of the sky changed beautifully to orange, blue, and green. I can still remember the gradient of the sky while waiting for the stars to appear as night fell. After a while, the starry sky was breathtaking—so many stars! I was amazed by the stunning view and was moved when they taught us about various constellations using a telescope. It was a great time to see the Southern Cross in the night sky, and capturing photos with the stars was also an emotional experience. I'm creating a memory album. My husband and I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was the first time with someone who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and they were truly moved. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi. I will visit Maui again!

This was the main tour of my trip to Hawaii. However, I thought I had enough time and went to Paia, which caused me to miss the meeting time for the tour. Just when I was at a loss, I received a call from our guide, Yamapi, who was able to pick me up along the way. I'm so grateful!

The sunset and starry sky from the summit were more beautiful than I could have imagined. I was surprised to even see the Southern Cross. It was a wonderful experience, thanks to Yamapi for helping me and teaching me about the stars. Thank you very much!

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

Reviewed by: Maui Lover

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!!!

Reviewed by: Tom

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!

Stargazing in Maui May 2024

Reviewed by: Steve and Monhee

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.

Reviewed by: Palmer Family

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.

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.

Reviewed by: Vikram W

Wonderful experience of Haleakala mountain expedition includes watching beautiful sunset from a secret location away from the crowd followed by sky full of stars, using 2 different telescopes to see different constellations, stars, Jupiter and its moons, andromeda and our moon from close and in HD, as well taking variety of pictures using our phone.

The tour guide Yoshi is a passionate stargazing enthusiast and also a great photographer. He guided us through the crater for various photo locations and spots, and will took us to the secret spot away from the crowd to watch beautiful sunset and he also became our photographer and clicked perfect pictures on each spot, so we didn’t need to worry about taking selfies. He also showed us some tricks for clicking beautiful pictures of stars in the dark.

I highly recommend this Haleakala sunset and stargazing tour with Yoshi to everyone that loves stargazing and also interested in watching sunset from the top of Haleakala mountain above clouds at 10k+ elevation from sea level.

Yoshi picked us up from our hotel in West Maui in the afternoon and another couple who was visiting from Japan from their hotel, then we all picked some dinner from a nearby marketplace and started with our journey to Haleakala mountain top. Yoshi had also bought us donuts from Crispy Creme and also provided us with winter coats, blankets and hot tea to prevent from cold winds atop the mountain. Thanks Yoshi for this wonderful experience. Arigato and Mahalo!

Yoshi picked up Krispie Cream donuts for us. Taken up the mountain, stopped at different levels due to altitude adjustment.
Once there, chairs were put out, warm jackets given and sat down for Tea as we watched the sunset above the clouds. Beautiful rainbows everywhere.
Once it got dark, Yoshi took out a massive telescope. We were able to see Saturn and Jupiter very clearly and it was Amazing! then Yoshi pointed out the Milky Way and many constellations.
It was a long day but worth every dollar and second.

This is absolutely the best tour we ever had! It was cloudy before we ascend the Mt. Haleakala, but the mountain peak was above the cloud and we could watch the beautiful sunset. We even saw the shade of the Earth on the right side of the horizon after the sunset. Gorgeous!
Then the guide set up two telescopes for stargazing. We were the only group at the overlook area a bit away from the peak, it was a beautiful starry night just like a natural planetarium.
He offered us a hot drink and doughnuts, that was nice. We had a great time looking constellations, Andromeda and other nebulae, Jupiter with its stripes and four satellites and so on, very educational. I recommend this tour for anyone.

ハレアカラサイクリングツアー　ダウンヒルでの爽快ツーリングが楽しめる！山頂からの日の出鑑賞やハレアカラ国立公園ツアーなど選べるプラン＜午前／英語ガイド＞

Natural planetarium, sunrise, downhill, all are the best! 天然プラネタリウム、御来光、ダウンヒル、どれも最高、ka ʻoi aʻe !!

Reviewed by: マハロハ

First of all, the perfect starry planetarium. The journey to the summit of Haleakalā is too precious to waste on a nap in preparation for the sunrise and downhill! While the stories from the high-energy guide and driver are important, the night sky through the window is like a treasure chest turned upside down with stars, stars, and more stars, sometimes shooting stars! The Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, Orion! I was moved to see so many stars in Orion's belly!

Next, the sunrise. It cleanses the soul! Amidst the sea of clouds, the sunrise shines brilliantly, perfectly aligned. It was a moment of awe for everyone waiting for the sunrise. It's not exactly the North Wind and the Sun, but after enduring the extreme cold, both body and mind become warm. As for cold weather measures, make sure to avoid any skin exposure! I recommend complete protection with socks, leg warmers, gloves, and a mask, leaving only the area around your eyes exposed.

Finally, the downhill. It's like a roller coaster! Once it starts, it doesn't stop! It's a refreshing cycling experience. While enjoying the magnificent scenery, of course, safe driving goes without saying, but it feels like pedaling is unnecessary, and before you know it, you become the wind of Maui.

The reason I rated this four stars instead of five, despite all these comments, is as follows. The downhill truly feels like a roller coaster. It lasts only about 10 minutes, which goes by in an instant, and that's a bit disappointing. The cycling mentioned after lunch didn't happen, which left me wanting more. Although I repeated the same course twice this time, I wished for different attractions, like a roller coaster and a Viking-style ride, rather than two rides on the same roller coaster. I would have liked some cycling time through the town, even if it meant pedaling after lunch.

先ずは、満点の満天プラネタリウム。ハレアカラ山頂までの道程は、日の出＆ダウンヒルに備え仮眠、なんてことはもったいない！ハイテンションのガイド兼ドライバーの話も大切ですが、窓越しの夜空は、宝石箱をひっくり返した星、星、星、時に流れ星！北斗七星、カシオペア、オリオン！オリオンのお腹にこんなに星があるの、と感動！

次に、御来光。心洗われます！雲海が漂うなか、燦々とSUNRISE、ベクトル一致でしょうね。日の出待ちのすべての人が待ちわびた御来光に感動してた瞬間です。北風と太陽じゃないけど、極寒に耐えた後、心身共にホットになります。で、極寒対策ですが、決して肌の露出をされないように！目の周り以外は、ソックス、レッグウォーマー、手袋、マスクと完全防備をオススメします。

最後に、ダウンヒル。私はジェットコースター♪走り出したら止まらないよ♪爽快なサイクリングです。壮大な景観を眺めながら、もちろん安全運転は言うまでもありませんが、ペダルは必要？って感じで、知らず知らずのうちにマウイの風になってます。

ここまでコメントして、星５つでなく、星４つにした理由は以下です。ダウンヒルが、まさしくジェットコースターなんです。僅か10分かな、あっという間なんでよね、ここが少し残念。説明にある昼食後のサイクリングも無かったのが物足りないです。今回、同じコースを２本繰り返したこともありますが、同じジェットコースター２回より、ジェットコースターとバイキング的な異なるアトラクションを望んでしまうので、昼食後のペダルを漕いでも良いので、街並みのサイクリングタイムが欲しかったですね～。
