Fantastic crew, great food and drinks and a few whale sightings. Since the captain can't control that too well, Overall it was a wonderful experience.

I have traveled to Maui several times and really like it. This time, I participated in the highly-rated tour by Yamapi, which I had been curious about for a long time, and I can't help but wonder why I didn't join sooner! It was a wonderful tour. The sunset and starry sky were beautiful, of course, but what stood out the most was Yamapi's thoughtfulness. He provided various forms of entertainment and truly prioritized the participants. Since I attended with my elderly mother, having blankets and chairs while watching the stars was a great help. I only have memories of being cold during a star tour I took on the Big Island in the past, where there were no blankets, chairs, or warm drinks, but this time was completely different and turned into a fun memory! I also appreciated that we had frequent bathroom breaks. I'm glad my mother enjoyed it too! If I have the opportunity, I would like to join Yamapi's other tours as well. Thank you very much!
マウイ島は気に入って何度か旅行しています。
以前からずっと気になっていた評判の良いヤマピーさんのツアーに今回参加して、何故もっと早く参加しなかったんだろう!と思えるぐらい素晴らしいツアーでした。サンセット・星空が綺麗なのはもちろん、ヤマピーさんの心遣いがとにかく素晴らしかった。色々と楽しませてくれ、ツアー参加者の事を第一に考えてる内容だと思いました。高齢の母と参加したので星空を見る際に毛布とイスがあったのは助かりました。昔にハワイ島で星空のツアーに参加した時は毛布・イス・温かい飲み物はなく寒かった記憶しかなかったのですが今回は全然違い楽しい思い出となりました!お手洗いをこまめに取ってくれた事も有難かったです。母も楽しんでくれたようで良かったです!また機会があればヤマピーさんの他のツアーも参加してみたいです☆ありがとうございました!

This was my first time participating. It was a Japanese tour, but the explanations were thorough and easy to understand.
I heard that 70% of the whales from Alaska come to Hawaii, and 90% of those come to Maui.
Since they are living creatures, the chances of encountering them are quite unpredictable, but I think we saw quite a few. When I went on another snorkeling tour, I also saw many whales, so I believe that riding on the boat more than twice increases satisfaction.
I heard that the peak is in February.
初めて参加しました。日本語ツアーでしたが、説明が丁寧で分かりやすかった。
アラスカから7割のクジラがハワイにやってきて、そのうちの9割がマウイに来るそうです。
生き物なので出会える確率はなかなか読めないのですが、結構見られたと思います。
別のシュノーケリングツアーに出かけたときもたくさんクジラが見られたので、2回以上船に乗ると満足度が高いと思います。
ピークは2月だそうです。

I participated in January. It was an English tour, but the instructor's explanations were easy to understand, and the crew was kind. Breakfast and lunch were delicious.
I only participated in snorkeling. It was disappointing that there weren't many types of fish near Molokini Island. However, there were wild seals. My companion who participated in the snuba got seasick, which was a bit unfortunate.
On the way to and from, we were able to see whales up close, and I was thrilled to see more whales than on a whale watching tour.
1月に参加しました。英語のツアーでしたが、インストラクターの説明も分かりやすく、クルーも親切でした。朝食とランチが美味しかった。
私はシュノーケリングのみに参加しました。モロキニ島近くはそんなにたくさんの種類の魚が見られなかったのでそれが残念。でも野性のアザラシがいました。スヌーバに参加した連れは波で酔ってしまったのでちょっと残念でした。

I had a very enjoyable experience. As expected, the summit was extremely cold since it was January! It's a good idea to bring your own gloves and hat. The guide, Rick, was very fun and informative.
The moon was too bright, so I gave it four stars, but without that, it would have been five! It might be a good idea to check the moon chart before making a reservation!
とても楽しく参加できました。やはり頂上は1月だったこともあり、激寒です!自分でも手袋や帽子を持って行った方がいいですね。ガイドはRick,とても楽しくガイドしてくれました。
月が明るすぎたので、星4つとしましたが、それがなければ、5つですね!予約の前に月のチャートを確認して予約するといいかもしれません!
I definitely agree, and I think it would be best to look at the lunar calendar when deciding on your travel dates. If the sunset and moonrise times are offset (by at least two hours), a full moon won't be a problem. A new moon provides the best conditions for stargazing.
確かにその通りで、月齢表をご覧になって旅行の日程を決められたらベストだと思います。サンセットの時間とムーンライズの時間がずれていれば(最低2時間)満月でも問題ありません。新月が、星空観測に関しては1番の好条件です。

Molokini Island was a bit different from what I imagined... There were many cruisers docked, and it felt undeniably like a tourist spot, but the ocean was beautiful! At another snorkeling spot, I was able to see a sea turtle and was moved by the adorable fish I encountered. The lunch during the cruising (hamburger) was delicious, and the crew was kind (it was reassuring to have Japanese crew members). Above all, how many times did we see whales!! Even though it wasn't a whale watching tour... I thought it would be lucky if we encountered any, but the captain and crew's consideration was truly wonderful. It was a fantastic tour.
モロキニ島はちょっとイメージと違い…

The sunrise tour on Maui was currently only available in English, and my family and I were a bit anxious about participating, but there were no problems at all. The view from the visitor center (3000m) just below the summit of Haleakalā was breathtaking, and the sunrise following the starry sky was refreshing and truly a heart-cleansing experience. My family was completely satisfied, and the view from the summit at 3055m was also fantastic after we moved by bus before descending.
In addition to preparing for the cold, I recommend bringing an LED light. The breakfast at the golf course in Kahului after descending was also good.

I decided to book online the day before and received a confirmation by evening. I took my 10-month-old son with me, and the boat was large enough, so there were no issues. However, the chairs on the second deck are fixed and a bit cramped. We were able to see whales multiple times, which was satisfying. The early morning tour is reasonably priced and refreshing, so I highly recommend it. The English guide only mentioned which direction we were facing, so I think it’s not a problem.

I was finally able to repeat my visit to Haleakalā! As everyone has mentioned, just like last time, I was welcomed by YAMAPEE's wonderful smile and engaging talk. The atmosphere among the tour participants was great, and we started off with a cozy feeling that you don't get on a large bus.
The summer Saturn and the close-up of the moon were impressive, but the starry sky during the winter new moon was truly sacred. No matter when you visit, Haleakalā shows a different expression, and I felt that every single cell in my body was rejoicing under the star-filled sky. Last time, I was able to see the death star of the Big Dipper, but this time we could all see the stars below the belt of Orion, as well as the Andromeda Galaxy.
It's an experience to have the sky right in front of you completely filled with stars... It would be a shame to go to Hawaii and not know about Maui, and it would be truly regrettable to go all the way to Maui and not climb Haleakalā. I really want to share this experience with others, and I might insist on it with my friends again.
It was so much fun with everyone who was there! Thank you to the Osaka team for including us! We got some wonderful photos. I'm so happy—I even bought a special frame! Thank you, YAMAPEE, for your professional guidance once again! With so many repeat visitors, please continue to create tours even after the 3055th time!
It was a truly joyful tour filled with happiness. Thank you, thank you. I look forward to our next reunion!
念願のハレアカラにリピートできました!
皆様が書いてらっしゃるとおり、前回とかわらずYAMAPEEさんの良い笑顔、トークに迎えられ、ツアーの皆様の雰囲気もよく、大型バスにはないアットホームな感じでスタートしました。
夏の土星や月面のアップも感動的でしたが、冬の新月の星空は神聖さそのものでした。
いつ来ても違う表情をみせてくれるハレアカラの懐の深さ、満天の天プラに細胞の一つ一つが喜んでいたと感じます。前回は北斗七星の死兆星など見れましたが、今回はオリオン座のベルト下の、くの字の下の星がみんな見れたり、アンドロメダ星雲などを見せていただけました。
目の前の空が全部星で埋め尽くされているなんて体験できません。。。
ハワイにいって、マウイ島を知らないのは勿体ないし、マウイまでいって、ハレアカラに登らないのは本当に勿体ないことだと思います。
ぜひぜひ同じ体験を分かち合いたいなと、また友人達にしつこくしそうです。
一緒にいらした方、楽しかったですね!!

I was not looking forward to a 2:50am pickup at the hotel, but the transportation was very comfortable and Rory, our tour guide, was exceptional. He talked most of the way over to Haleakala about Hawaiian culture & traditions so it was informative. When we got to the observation area, Rory took us to 'the best spot' for viewing which also blocked off the wind that was blowing. It is strange at first because the darkness hides the landscape. But the stars were as beautiful as I've ever seen them. Then the horizon began to glow and things moved pretty quickly until full sunrise. We then moved to the 10000 ft observation area and the view was breath taking. Tour finished with a nice breakfast at Café O'lei and we were dropped back off at our hotel in Lahaina. This is a spectacular event and really different from other Maui activities. Pack some warm clothes!

It was great flying from Kapalua airport as we were staying in Ka'anapali. Plus the flight over to Oahu on the small plane was wonderful. We had fantastic aerial views, saw some whales and a beautiful rainbow and our approach in Honolulu took us directly over Diamond Head. We did the whole tour - the Arizona, the Missouri, the Bowfin and the museum, so we felt a little rushed to see it all. Otherwise, it was a wonderful day!

This is my second time. I applied again because I enjoyed it last time.
Overall, I had more fun during the first visit.
- Molokini is deep, has few fish, and is far away.
- The snorkeling off Wailea was murky. I couldn't see the sea turtles I encountered last time.
- We had a great view of the whales this time.
- The hamburger was delicious, as expected.
- The swaying and waves were still intense.
I feel like once is enough. If you're just looking to snorkel, there are many places in Maui that are closer and have plenty of fish to see.
2度目です。前回よかったのでまた申し込みました。
全体的に初回のほうが楽しめました。
・モロキニは深くて魚が少ないし遠い
・ワイレア沖のシュノーケリングは水が濁っていた。前回会えたウミガメにも会えず
・クジラは今回のほうがばっちり見えました。
・ハンバーガーはやはりおいしい。
・揺れと波は相変わらず激しい
1度行けばいいかなという感じです。
シュノーケルだけならマウイにはもっと近くでいっぱいの肴に出会えるところがおおいので。

Suddenly, it started to rain, and I think the temperature at the summit of Haleakalā was close to 0 degrees. I felt that Iao Valley was a place with some kind of power. The people of Maui referred to it as "blessing rain." It felt like my unnecessary energy was being washed away. The hotel pickup was around 6:30, but the actual departure from the meeting spot was around 8:30, so it seems like the hotel pickup could be a bit later.
急に雨が降り出し、ハレアカラの頂上は0度に近かったと思います。イアオ渓谷はなにかパワーのある場所のような気がしました。マウイの人からは「祝福の雨」と言われました。自分の不必要なエネルギーが流されたような気がします。朝のホテルピックアップは6:30くらいですが実際の集合スポットからの出発は8:30頃で、ホテルピックアップはもっと後でもいいような気がします。

I really wanted to participate in whale watching, but since it wasn't during the peak season of February to March, I decided to enjoy the waters of Maui with this tour instead.
Since it was my first time in Maui, I chose the 9 AM tour that included a pickup service. A minivan taxi picked us up at our hotel and then picked up a family of foreigners at a nearby hotel before arriving at the meeting point by the Banyan Tree on the ocean side. We showed our voucher to the staff, and since we needed a Japanese audio guide, we received headphones in a bag and waited under the tent for a while.
Gradually, more people gathered, and we began boarding the boat heading to the submarine offshore. This is when we took photos. After about 10 minutes, we met up with the submarine and descended the ladder backward into the vessel. There were about 15 of us in total, including small children, and we were the only Japanese people. The staff seemed to be considerate, as they seated us at the very back (stern) away from the foreigners, allowing us to relax.
Underwater, there was no rocking, and since it was morning, it felt slightly dim, but the tour progressed smoothly. Along the way, we encountered a sunken ship, which made me laugh unexpectedly due to something I saw. I thought, "In a place like this..." (chuckle).
Before I knew it, the tour was over, and we surfaced. We exchanged places with the next group of people and watched the submarine descend as we headed back to the dock. Here, we were handed the photos taken before boarding (with a backing of the Atlantis) and those who wanted to buy them could pay $20.
As we were getting off, I realized that the staff member who had been next to us during the tour spoke Japanese, so they had indeed been considerate. I gave that staff member a tip as a thank you.
Overall, I made some great memories, but since I feel satisfied after experiencing it once, I rated it four stars. I hope this is helpful!
本当はホエールウォッチングに参加したかったのですが、本格的な見頃である2月~3月では無かったので、このツアーで取り敢えずマウイの海を堪能しました。
今回マウイは初めてだったので、送迎サービスがある9時開始を選びました。
ミニバンタクシーが私達をホテルでピック後、すぐ隣のホテルで外人さんファミリーをピックアップしてバニヤン・ツリー海側の集合場所へ到着。
受付の人にVoucherを見せ、私達は日本語の音声ガイドが必要だったので袋に入ったヘッドフォンを受け取りテント下で暫く待機。
次第に人が集まってきて、沖合の潜水艦に向かう船に乗船開始。その時に写真撮影を行います。
10分ぐらいで潜水艦と合流しタラップを後ろ向きで降りて艦内へ。
小さな子供さん達を含めて総勢15名程で日本人は私達だけでした。スタッフが気を遣ってくれたのか、外人さん達とは離れた一番奥(船尾)に座らされノンビリと出来ました。
海中は揺れも無く、朝という事で若干薄暗い感じでしたが順調にツアーが進んで行きました。
途中、沈没船が現れるのですが、とある物で思わず笑ってしまいました。
こんな所に・・・(苦笑
そうこうしている間にツアー終了となり海面へ浮上。
次のツアーの人達と交代して、潜行していく潜水艦を見届け船着場へと向かいます。
ここで乗船前に撮影した写真(アトランティス号の台紙付き)を手渡され、買いたい人は20$を払います。
降りる際、ツアー中私達の隣に居てくれたスタッフが日本語を話していたので、やはり配慮してくれてたんだなと改めて実感。お礼も兼ねてそのスタッフにチップを渡しました。
評価としては、良い思い出が出来ましたが、1度体験すれば満足なので星4つとしました。

Every time in Maui, I would usually just relax at the hotel besides playing golf, but this time I participated in a sightseeing tour for the first time. The weather was great, and I was able to see the best sunset and starry sky.
The winding road to the summit has no guardrails, so I really appreciated using the tour. I enjoyed the explanations at the summit and the observations through the telescope.
For dinner, I bought packaged sushi at the supermarket. For a couple in their 50s, this was also an extraordinary experience that we enjoyed.
This time, a young Japanese-American man was in charge. He seemed to have little experience, but his earnestness came through.
However, that beautiful starry sky was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience!? I wanted to quietly take my time to enjoy it. I found the explanations about the stars very interesting, but in the freezing cold, I was a bit taken aback by how he endlessly talked about his background and feelings towards his job. Also, it was not appropriate for him to speak ill of other companies while trying to convey the greatness of his own. It seems like youthful passion can sometimes miss the mark. He is someone I look forward to seeing grow in the future.
As you mentioned, I believe the company is sincere and solid. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate in another tour.

My family and I had an amazing day with Dawn as our guide on this excursion. She was knowledgable, friendly, smart, skilled, and funny! The excursion itself introduced us to the rain forest of Maui which was beautiful in its terrain and a bit challenging to navigate. Dawn gave us all the confidence we needed so we could rise to the challenges while being gracious to those who did not choose some aspects (cliff jumping) of the tour. Overall, it was a highlight of our entire Hawaiian trip. Dawn was fantastic. Lastly, the water shoes (available for a nominal charge) are a necessity.

It was the season for whale watching, so we encountered many. Advice for participants: confirm your reservation by phone, communication is only in English during the tour, and there is a 'roll call' both going and returning for peace of mind. You can also choose the amount of food and drinks yourself, which is reassuring.
ホエールウォッチング時期だったので、たくさん遭遇出来ました。参加時アドバイス:予約確認TEL、参加中も英語のみ、乗船時には行きも帰りも『点呼』で安心、食事も飲み物も量を自分で選べて安心。

The tour was good overall. Due to weather we didnt get to swim by the waterfalls, I wish they had offered another option like more time in black sand beach, knowing that it was impossible to swim in the other part. (I had brought my swimsuit, towel and extra clothes). I liked it that they offered complimentary juices and water bottles on the bus. If you don't pay for the tour that includes lunch, there are more options to find good food walking distance from where the bus stops for lunchtime, so I didn't regret not paying for that

This was our first time going to Maui with the family and we wanted to choose the activities that would leave a great impact on all of us. And boy did we do the right choice. Doing this activity was the best experience ever! The staff was very friendly and informed us regarding safety issues, then we had our continental breakfast. On our way to the first snorkeling spot we had the chance to see some whales and that was a plus. Once we arrived to the right spot we snorkeled for about 45-55 minutes where we all had a chance to see a baby turtle swimming among us (super cute by the way). After that we continued to our second snorkeling place and it was there where we encountered more turtles and fishes. Being able to see the ocean life from a different perspective is amazing. Once we concluded our snorkeling we went back to the boat and had some delicious burgers and hotdogs BBQed for us by the staff. It was just amazing! I encourage you to do the Maui to Lanai - Dolphin Watch & Snorkel BBQ Lunch Cruise.

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. At 3,000 meters, the air pressure is low, and I believe that sitting in a chair to watch the stars is the best way to observe the celestial bodies. I was also moved by the very filial-minded Miiko. Please give my regards to your mother as well.
ツアーご参加本当に有難うございます。3000メートルは気圧が低く、やはり椅子に座って星を見るのがベストな天体観測だと思います。とても親孝行のみぃこさんに自分も心を動かされました。お母様にも宜しくお伝えください。
