Great experience for stargazing and watching the Milky Way. Yoshi san is a great guide. He had also kept some light snacks and refreshments for the trip.
The only con, the drive to the top and back down is a little taxing.

Yoshi was wonderful! We can’t say enough about his hospitality, thoughtfulness, and knowledge. Not only did he take great care in making it a wonderful experience, he made sure we had outstanding pictures of our family in the best spots to remember it. We felt very safe driving in Haleakala knowing he had 20 years of experience behind him and this trip has easily taken the number one spot of our family adventures. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the stars and constellations as well as the geography of the area. A day and evening well spent!
Be sure to take a decent sweatshirt and long pants because it does get chilly.

We were picked up at 3 PM for Haleakalā. Despite the temperature being 29°C, we gathered with warm clothing. The car set off towards Haleakalā, taking breaks for altitude acclimatization. At 1000 meters, we stopped at a supermarket to prepare dinner. At 2000 meters, we took a bathroom break and captured photos of avocado trees.
We reached the 3000-meter mark, but some participants felt the air was thin. At 6 PM, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, treated us to various poke ingredients and rice, which we enjoyed as poke bowls in the car. Once it got dark, we had a stargazing session. Despite bringing a down coat, it was still cold, and I was surprised that my hands became numb.
We returned to the hotel around 10:30 PM, and I am grateful to Mr. Yamauchi for being talented, attentive, and smooth in conversation, keeping tourists, including children, engaged for over half a day.
ハレアカラへは15時のお迎えだった。
気温29℃なのに防寒着を持っての集合だった。
さっそくハレアカラを目差して車は出発した。高地順応のために休憩を取りながらのハレアカラ行である。
1000mではスーパーマーケットに立ち寄り夕食の用意をした。
2000mではトイレタイムでアボカドのなっている木を写真に収めた
いいよ3000mの地点に到達したが空気を薄いと感じていた参加者もいた。
18時になって添乗員ヤマウチさんが薦めてくれた種々のポキの具材とご飯をポキ丼にして車内でいただいた。
暗くなったところで天体観察である。寒さの中、星や星座の説明を聞きながら天体観察させてもらった。ダウンコートを持って行ったのにも関わらず寒かった。手が悴んで感覚がなくなってきたのには驚いた。
ホテルへ帰ってきたのは22時半ころであったが、それにしても添乗員ヤマウチさんは多才で気が利いて、話が滑らかで子供を含めた観光客を半日以上もずっと飽きさせないで案内してくれたことには感謝している。
In addition to warm clothing, gloves were an essential item for visiting Haleakalā.

It was truly a dream-like day (╹◡╹). It was my first time on Maui, and I received a lot of information and stories not just about Maui but other topics as well. Dining while watching the sunset from the summit was a luxurious experience that only those who have done it can appreciate. The music that played in each situation was a stylish touch typical of Yamapi, and I was so moved by the song that played while gazing at the starry sky that I ended up in tears (^◇^;). The hospitality was incredible. I gained the courage to live my life authentically. If you go to Maui, I absolutely recommend this tour. I hope to visit again in a different season. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
もう〜夢のような1日でした(╹◡╹)
マウイ島は初めてだったのですが、いろいろな情報を教えて下さったり、マウイ島以外のお話なんかもたくさんしてくださいました。
また山頂では、沈んでいく夕日を見ながらの食事は、経験した者にしか味わえない贅沢な気分でした。
シチュエーション毎に流れる音楽の演出はヤマピーさんらしく粋なはからいに脱帽です。
特に星空を眺めている時に流れた曲は、感動して泣いちゃいました(^◇^;)
おもてなしが半端ないです。
これからの人生を自分らしく生きる勇気をいただきました♡
マウイ島に行かれたら、ぜーーーったいオススメのツアーですよ。

Yoshi was absolutely amazing! From the prompt pick up, the hospitality (tea, snacks) and the amazing knowledge, this is a tour I will always remember. Words can’t express how awesome being at that height and seeing the stars as you stand above the clouds was. Yoshi knew and shared so much and even had coats and gloves for us all as it does get cold at that height. He even showed us how to adjust the settings on our phones to timelapse and take great pictures. 1000% recommend Yoshi and this tour if you want to experience something breathtaking.

This was the second stargazing tour guided by Yamapi in 2023. It seems that visitors to Maui have returned after the Lahaina wildfire in August 2023, as the area near the summit was crowded, but we were able to fully enjoy the great nature and the starry sky in a fantastic location. We also enjoyed donuts and coffee, and I was once again impressed by the kind explanations and support from Mr. Yamauchi, a veteran of the stargazing tour. This is an highly recommended optional tour for anyone traveling to Maui.

I was taken on a tour by Yamapi. Fortunately, it was just my group, so we had the chance to talk about various recommended spots in Maui and Honolulu, as well as Yamapi's life stories while he guided us up the mountain.
We took photos at a scenic spot, watched the sunset, and waited for the stars. Since it was about half a moon, the Milky Way was only faintly visible, but there was no wind at all, so I didn't have to worry about the cold. (It seems that it’s usually quite windy and cold, but we just happened to have calm weather that day.) They also provide blankets and warm clothing, which is reassuring.
We slowly looked at various stars through a telescope while receiving explanations. The photo of the moon was one I took with my phone while trying to capture what I saw through the telescope. They also teach you how to take photos of stars with your phone, so you can get beautiful shots even with an iPhone camera.
I truly felt that participating in this activity, where you can experience the rich nature and vast sky, was a great decision. I will definitely bring my brother and his wife next year.
やまぴーさんのガイドで連れて行ってもらいました。
ラッキーな事に自分のグループのみだったので、色々マウイやホノルルのお勧めスポットの話や、やまぴーさんの人生談など、色々お話しながら山に連れて行ってもらいました。
写真スポットで写真を撮ってもらって、夕日を見送り、星待ち。
半月くらいだったので、天の川はうっすらしか見えなかったですが、全く風が無く、寒さの心配無用でした。
(本当にたまたま風がなかっただけで、いつもは結構風もあって寒いみたいです)
毛布や防寒着も貸してくれるので安心です。
天体望遠鏡でいろんな星を解説してもらいながらゆっくり見せてもらいました。

If you're worried about the cold, bringing heat packs or Uniqlo's Ultra Warm products will give you extra peace of mind.

I signed up mainly to see the sunset, but unfortunately, due to heavy traffic, the time to enjoy the sunset was shortened. However, the stargazing afterward was wonderful, truly like a natural planetarium, and I was very moved. The guide, Yamapi, was also interesting, and although it was a long travel time, I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. If I have the chance, I would like to participate again and recommend it to my family.

The summit is quite cold. There are rentals for cold-weather gear, but it would be wise to prepare your own warm clothing and hand warmers as well.

I loved doing this. It was beautiful and inspiring to be above the clouds for a sunset. The bus tour was lengthy, but I wasn’t brave enough to drive my rental up a mountain.
