Initially, we planned to go to Haleakalā on our own, but joining this tour was definitely the right choice. Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, had an amazing spirit of hospitality. At the stop at Kula Lodge, he said, "I'm not a salesperson," yet he kindly explained the recommended products, which contributed quite a bit to their sales (laughs).
The sunset over the sea of clouds was incredibly beautiful. It felt like being in heaven. While it seems that the sunrise tour is more popular, it was emphasized that the sunset offers a more beautiful sky due to the fine dust in the air. There were many thoughtful touches for participants, such as providing chairs for stargazing. It truly felt like "the joy of the customer is the joy of oneself," which must mean this is his calling. While watching the stars, we realized how small we are. The trivial annoyances of daily life were forgotten.
This time, the light from the half-moon prevented us from seeing shooting stars, so I would like to join again during the new moon.
当初は自分たちでハレアカラに行く予定でいましたが、こちらのツアーに参加して大正解でした。ガイドの山内さんのおもてなし精神が素晴らしいです。途中立ち寄ったクラロッジでは「お店の回し者ではないけど」と言いつつ、丁寧におすすめ商品の説明をして下さり、かなり売り上げに貢献してしまいました(笑)
雲海に沈むサンセット、とても美しかったです。まるで天国にいるみたいでした。ツアーとしてはサンライズの方が人気があるようですが、サンセットだと空気中に微細な塵があるために空の染まりがより美しいと力説されてました。星空観察もチェアーを用意するなど、参加者への心遣いがたくさん感じられました。まさに「お客様の喜びは自身の喜び」といった感じで、天職なのでしょうね。星を見ながら我々がいかに小さな存在であることを実感しました。日常のささいな嫌なことが忘れられました。
今回は半月の光が邪魔をして降るような星は見られなかったので、次回は新月の時に合わせて参加したいです。
The shop at Claridge offers rare dressings and coffee that you can't find at major stores, making it perfect for souvenirs. Since Sunrise is not yet open, taking a break here at 1,000 meters is an ideal resting spot for climbing to 3,000 meters. It's indeed safer to climb the mountain slowly. Please come visit Maui again! We look forward to seeing you.
クラロッジの売店には大手のお店では買えないレアーなドレッシングやコーヒーなどがあって、お土産には最適です。サンライズではまだオープンしていないのと
ここ1000メートルで一息つくのも、3000メートル登るのには最適な休憩場所なのです。やはり山はゆっくり登るのが安全ですね。また是非マウイに遊びに来てくださいね!お待ちしています。

My mom, aunt, and I went ziplining and aqua balling and we had the time of our lives. I had the pleasure of speaking to Crystal one of the owners on the phone before we went and she was so polite and so inviting. We called the day before and she fit all three of us in. When we got there we had people already waiting outside for us and flagging us down. Andrew and Taylor were the people that helped us when we got there. They were so polite and made us feel very welcome. They calmed our nerves, answered all our questions and were very knowledgeable. They really love what they do and made us feel like friends visiting the farm. The farm is beautiful and intriguing. Dawn is the farm manager and she walked us to our car and showed us some more beauty about the farm. She was a sweetheart and made us feel so welcome we didn't want to leave! If anyone wants to have a good time I highly suggest you do the combo and hipline and aquaball!!! They are so fun!! Thanks so much guys!

I would suggest anyone to do it in the morning because in the afternoon it's way too short, you get about 1hr to snorkel because it takes more than one hour to get to molokini and another to get back. Everything was a lot of fun but I WOULD NEVER DO THE SNUBA OPTION AGAIN - it's a different business so you'd have to pay there, me and my husband were both disappointed, it's not that much of a difference from snorkeling because the line isn't too long, it's just 30 mins of the time you're there, the guy running it was extremely rude and you have to pay an additional 60$ per person, NOT WORTH IT!
But apart from the snuba issue, the rest of the trip was fun, and bbq lunch was good! Molokini is beautiful.

I participated in the early morning tour. I was able to see whales, and the price was also reduced, so it was great. However, there was no Japanese-speaking guide. If you need a Japanese guide, it might be better to avoid the early morning tours.

Beautiful, magnificent, spectacular, and extraordinary. Just a few words that come to mind when talking about my experience with this activity. I knew that while I was on Maui, that I wanted to go scuba diving. Unfortunately, you have to be certified to go scuba diving. So, I did the next best thing. I went on a snorkel/snuba diving adventure. Not only was the experience breathe taking, but the instructors, captain, film crew, and the rest of the staff was so courteous and knowledgeable. Any questions, comments, or concerns you have they are more than willing to go above and beyond your expectations to make you feel comfortable. Well worth every penny I spent on this activity. Anyone who is thinking about going snorkeling, should check out this company. They have amazing customer service which is hard to find. The snuba adventure is unlike anything I've ever tried. You get the opportunity to swim up close and personal with all kinds of sea life. Highly recommend spending the extra money to go snuba diving.

We had a nice time - some surprises at the end made the drive worth it. Enjoyed the lunch and the helicopter ride as well. Beautiful scenery. Learned a lot about Maui's vegetation, very knowledgeable driver. Only reason I didn't give it the highest rating is that we were expecting to swim in waterfalls or wading pools (the seven pools?). Didn't see the seven pools and the waterfalls were not accessible (and would have been too cold anyway).

As humans we are programmed for self-preservation. Walking off a platform into air is not something that comes naturally. The safety equipment was in tip top shape, the guides were helpful and encouraging. To take the edge off the hesitation they were jovial and kept us in good humor.
A special shout out to Tianna, who was on day 4 of her employment. On my first platform she was giving me words of encouragement that helped me summon up the courage to take that first long step.
Kevin and Bastein rounded out the guides with humor and laughs.

It was a drizzly and chilly day, starting off with a low energy. The whales might still be sleeping due to the bad weather... The atmosphere on the boat was quite subdued, but as the cruise progressed, we started spotting whales! "Oh! Over there!!!" "Oh! This way!!!" They came quite close, even splashing us with their breath. The early morning plan might have different chances of seeing whales depending on the weather. However, when you do see them, it's a 100% satisfying activity.
小雨ぱらぱらのお天気で肌寒いし、低めのテンションでのスタート。クジラさんもお天気悪いから、まだ寝ているのかもしれない。。。ますますテンション低めの船内でしたが、クルーズの後半になると、あっ!あそこ!!!あっ!こっち!!!とクジラさんが登場してきてくれました。しかもかなりの至近距離まできてくれて、ブリージンクの潮がかかるくらいです。早朝プランはお天気によってクジラさんに会える確立が違ってくるのかもしれませんね。でも、会えると満足度100%なアクティビティです。

The boat was quite rocky, but I was glad to see several whales. It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't take good photos since the whales only appear for a moment.

I know every whale watch is a different experience but this was the best whale watch cruise ever. The crew was extremely knowledgeable and the captain seem to have a knack to know where they were going to be and how to move into the best position. The boat was two decks and you could move freely between them. It's a bigger boat which some say is worse for fighting for rail space when whales are spotted but I saw a smaller boat next to us and the waves were rocking them almost out of the water while our boat was barely rocking. We got lucky enough to spot two sets of whales and some bottle-nose dolphins even though it was the end of the season. The second set of whales came right up next to our boat and hung around for a while for us to get a really, really close look.

This was my second time participating. I invited my mother and a friend to join as well. Since it was a total lunar eclipse, the mountaintop was crowded. After that, we were suddenly hit by winds as strong as a typhoon, which made me realize the wonders of nature. However, the stories and support from the mountain guide warmed our hearts, and all the participants were very satisfied!!! Next time, I want to experience a starry sky at 3,500 meters. I was also given recommendations for delicious food, souvenirs, and restaurants, making it a fun trip to Maui.

Thank you for participating in the tour! Since it's a battle with nature, there are times when the summit is exposed to strong winds and the stars may not be visible, but we will try to move to a lower altitude where we can see them.
If the clouds are thick or it's raining and visibility is poor, we can add your name to the Maui All Stars' revenge list. If you have flexibility in your schedule, you can join for free either tomorrow or next year!
Please note that the cost of the lunch and the entrance fee for Haleakalā National Park will be separate, but this is a reassuring plan that allows for multiple attempts, so everyone can participate with peace of mind. Of course, I will also share insider information about delicious restaurants in Maui! Thank you for always joining us.
ツァー参加有難うございました!自然界との戦いなので山頂が強風にさらせれて、星が見れない時がありますが、高度を下げて場所を移動して見れる場所までトライします。
それでも雲が張ったり雨で見えない場合は、マウイオールスターズはリベンジリストにお名前を載せさせて頂けます。日程の余裕があれば明日でも来年でもフリーで参加できます!
お弁当代とハレアカラ国立公園の入園料は別途負担になりますが、何回でもリベンジできる安心プランなので皆様に安心して参加して頂いています。勿論マウイの美味しいレストラン裏情報もお教え致しますね!いつも参加して頂き感謝しています。

I made a reservation for the morning. I was able to get to the port quickly, but I got lost trying to find the check-in location. It was in a small hut located in the largest pier that juts out into the sea. Please be careful, as there may be a chance you won't see it due to the line.
Now, the boat is two stories, and you can sit wherever you like during the cruise, but it felt like people were moving left and right every time a whale appeared. I was able to see them multiple times, both far and near. I didn't see any jumps, but it was a very satisfying cruise.

On the third day of our family's first 3-night, 5-day trip to Maui, we joined an early morning tour that was a good deal, even though it wasn't the time for the Japanese guide. We thought we might see whales while looking at the ocean. It seemed like we went out far enough where other tour boats didn't go. We even encountered whales crossing right in front of our boat. ...And the guide exclaimed "Incredible!" because we took the best photos. And it was all with an iPhone. It was the best whale watching experience on our first trip to Maui. I would love to participate again.
