Haleakala Crater was just amazing! You don't feel like you are in a tropical paradise because it gets cold up there! It is very spiritual and peaceful there, and we can't believe ancient Hawaiians used to climb on foot. Next time, I'd love to hike the crater.
We loved the Iao Needle as well. It was beautiful. Thanks!

The service was wonderful. Anyone booking should know before hand that the stairs going above/beow decks is difficult for anyone with walking difficulties (with a cane). Food was very well prepared.
Comments from the entertainer regarding what we are passing as we cruise along the coast would be beneficial. But, it was very good music.

We read some comments about this luau being crowded, so we were expecting really small venue. I think the venue was good size. I guess if you are used to taking up so much space for yourself, you feel very tight, but we were very comfortable. The dancers were awesome, and foods were well prepared. We stayed in Kaanapali, so it was walking distance from our hotel. It's worth it. I'd recommend it to my friends.

I was not happy about the start and end time of the experience. The entire event was over by 8pm, and it was barely dark. The food and the drinks were as expected... good. The performers were very good, but the show lacked the level of audience involvement that I've seen at other events.

Attended with my wife on our honeymoon. No Pina Colada's or frozen drinks but i can understand that at an open bar in such a large venue. Server was very good about making sure we all had drinks though. Food was excellent. Dessert was average, but I was really full off all the good food anyway so I didn't mind. The show was very good and the highlight of the night was definitely the fire dancer. Overall a good luau, but there are better out there (although I'm sure they cost more).

We sailed on the Maui Magic and the crew were really wonderful. Our daughter was a bit hesitant to try snorkling and one of our crew said just the right thing to encourage her to put her face in the water and then we had trouble getting her to come out of the water.
Later, the crew put up a slide for us to use on the last snorkle stop.
We were also incredibly fortunate to see countless hump back whales on our trip out and back, some very close to our boat. The crew were very happy to stop and let us watch them for a good deal of time. In another stroke of luck, a bottle nosed dolphin swam back and forth around the bow of our boat.
This trip was one of the highlights of our vacation and I would encourage anyone not to hesitate to book this whale watch/snorkling trip!

We were a couple who reserved for January 25th, and we appreciate your hospitality. Unfortunately, due to the rain clouds, our sunset was obstructed by clouds on the mountainside, but the sky turned a beautiful orange.
Finally, we were ready to enter the world of stars—dressed in the warm down jackets provided, we sat back comfortably in our chairs, and the sky above was filled with countless stars. Our thoughts about Yamapi's star were passionately expressed, but then the rain came again. However, with the amazing telescope that perfectly focused on any star, we were able to see Subaru and the admired Andromeda.
On our way down, we stopped the car and caught glimpses of stars during breaks in the rain. Then, we headed home while listening to pleasant background music.
The mountain weather is whimsical, and while the stars were a bit disappointing, there was so much more! The hot and fluffy crispy donuts and the nostalgic taste of the Grigri ice cream were incredibly delicious, bringing back memories of Maui! I wanted to get out of the car and see the relaxed ranch.
At the shop, I sampled a lot and bought Maui-made jams and butter as souvenirs, and the recommended tea from Yamapi was also very tasty! (Next time I come, I’ll buy a lot!) The amazing bento we had in the car, with simmered dishes and tempura, was delicious too!
At the observation deck, thanks to the bad weather, we were able to see the Brocken, and the flowing clouds in the crater were like a mystical world of Dali; I could have watched it forever. Thank you for a wonderful time.

I participated in this activity during my honeymoon. When I thought of Hawaii, I only considered ocean activities, but my husband, who usually doesn't express a desire to go anywhere, said he wanted to join. As a result, we decided to participate, and it turned out to be the most memorable tour among all the activities we did in Hawaii!
The emotion I felt while gazing up at countless stars, to the point where I forgot to breathe, is something I will never forget. (It was worth waiting without rushing!)
During our stay, the weather was not great with many clouds, and I almost gave up at one point, but thanks to Mr. Yamauchi, we were able to see a sky full of stars. The feeling of not giving up is truly important.
Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for the wonderful time.
新婚旅行で参加しました。
ハワイといえば海!と思い、海のアクティビティばかり考えていた私に
普段はあまりここに行きたいなどと言わない主人が、

結果、ハワイで参加したアクティビティの中で
一番心に残る最高のツアーとなりました!
息をするのも忘れるぐらい、

The star-filled night sky is something that can't be explained unless you see it. It's quite a niche star tour, so you'll have to hold back on the places you want to see, and when the moment comes, you'll give the cue, making the second half a battle with yourself—laughs.
Everyone has their own feelings and shares time together, and I believe that when it all comes together, a wonderful emotion is born. I look forward to our next reunion. Please take your time and be happy!
夜空の満天の星は見ないと説明が出来ないですよね。

I participated in a tour without pick-up on January 24 at 9 AM. We boarded a small boat and listened to explanations inside the submarine as we made our way to it. It took about 15 minutes, but the view of the island from the sea was very beautiful, and since it was January, we were able to see whales as well.
We transferred to the submarine on the water. The boarding order started with a large group, and I ended up boarding last, sitting right next to the pilot and the guide. Perhaps it was to help solo participants get to know each other?
We looked out through a round window about 40 cm in diameter and 15 cm thick, observing the underwater scenery. With beautiful bubbles, we quickly descended to the seabed, which was a blue world with few colors. We quietly moved towards a spot where many fish could be seen, changing the submarine's direction so that both the people on the right and left could see the fish well, passing through schools of fish, coral, seaweed, and sea urchins. Suddenly, a large fish appeared, and the guide's shout of "sushi fish!" made everyone burst into laughter!
I felt there were fewer fish than expected, but since it was a deep and vast underwater world, they were probably scattered around. The submarine headed towards a sunken ship, and after observing the fish living there, we returned. In the end, I was thrilled to see three rays swimming slowly. I wanted to see a sea turtle, but I was told, "They don't come to such deep places far from land." I wondered why there was a sea turtle depicted in the pamphlet.
We surfaced with bubbles and exchanged groups with the next tour participants before returning to the port.
I was able to have a valuable submarine experience, and while it wasn't 20,000 leagues under the sea, it was wonderful to see a world I couldn't dive into myself. Moreover, it was a tour where I could enjoy the foreign atmosphere with a guide who entertained everyone and fellow participants having fun. Out of 48 people, I was the only Japanese, so I was quite anxious, but there were Japanese explanation materials and audio guides available on board, so it was fine.
Above all, the staff was considerate, allowing me to have a great time. They took photos during boarding, and those who wanted could buy them for $20 when disembarking. The guide made sure to pose with me for a photo since I was participating alone! A short DVD of the submarine experience was also included, making for a wonderful keepsake. I didn't quite understand, but they were selling tickets for $25 on board that allow free rides at any Atlantis for a year.
1/24朝9時の送迎無しツアーに参加。
小型船に乗り、潜水艦内での説明などを聴きながら潜水艦の所まで、、、
15分程でしたが、海上からの島の景色がとても綺麗で、1月だったので鯨も見られました。
海上で潜水艦に乗り移ります、、、
乗る順番は大人数のグループからで最後に乗船、操縦席とガイドさんのすぐ側の席でした。
一人参加の人どうし仲よくなれるようにでしょうか?
ガラスの厚さ15cm位、直径40cm程の丸い窓から水中を見ます、、、
美しい泡とともに、もう海底30m?という位早く海底に。そこは色の少ない青い世界でした。
静かに魚の多く見られる場所へ進みます、、、
右側の人にも左側の人にも魚が良く見えるように潜水艦の向きを変えながら、
珊瑚や海草、ウニ、魚の大群が泳ぐ中を進み、、と、そこへ大きな魚が現れ、
ガイドさんの「すしフィッシュ!」の声で艦内は爆笑!
意外と魚が少ないかな?と感じましたが、深く広い海中だから、散らばっているんですよね、きっと!
潜水艦は沈没船の所へ向い、ここに住む魚を見てから戻ります、、、
最後に3匹のエイがゆっくりと泳いで行くのが見られて感激でした。
ウミガメも見たかったのですが、「こんなに陸から離れた深い場所にはいない。」そうです。
パンフレットの絵にウミガメが描いてあるのは、なぜなのか?
泡とともに浮上、、、
海上で次のツアーの人達と交代して、港に戻りました。
貴重な潜水艦体験が出来たことや、海底2万マイルとはいきませんが、
自分では潜れない世界をじかに見ることが出来てとても良かったです。
それに、皆を楽しませてくれるガイドさんと楽しんじゃう皆と外国気分も満喫したツアーでした。
48人中、日本人は私ひとりだったのでとても不安でしたが、
日本語の説明書や艦内では音声ガイドの貸し出しもあるので大丈夫。
何よりスタッフが気を使ってくれたので、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
乗船時に写真を撮ってくれて、下船時に要る人は$20で買うことができました。
一人参加の私には空かさずガイドさんが一緒に写真に入ってくれてポーズ!
潜水艦のDVD(短いですが)も付いていてとても良い記念になりました。
よく解からなかったのですが、1年間、何処のアトランティスでも無料で乗れるチケットを
艦内で$25で発売していると

The Andromeda Galaxy is a large star cluster located 2.3 million light-years away, and its light was emitted long before Kauai and Maui Islands even appeared. It feels very mysterious.
