Der Sonnenaufgang über dem Haleakala ist definitiv einen Ausflug wert. Wer nicht mitten in der Nacht eine unbekannte und kurvenreiche Strecke fahren will, sollte diese Tour buchen. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass alle Busse auf den Parkplatz am Visitor Center halten und es entsprechend voll dort ist. Außerdem ist eine organisierte Tour die einzige Möglichkeit den Sonnenaufgang zu sehen, wenn man keinen Parkplatz mehr über die Website des Nationalparks buchen kann... Ohne reservierten Parkplatz kein Zutritt!

Really enjoyed our luau experience! The event is well organized. Our section's server was very friendly and funny, and very quick to bring rounds of drinks from the bar. Our section was one of the last to be dismissed to get food but there was still plenty of food as new trays were continually being refreshed. Location of the luau is very picturesque but bring a jacket/sweater as our night (end of April) was very windy/chilly - some people were in winter parkas!

Unfortunately the day we went it was raining, very cloudy and very windy at the top so no sunrise. It is the risk you take when you book the trip. The guides were good to hang around hoping for some sun to come out. The breakfast was pretty good but could have been a little better organized. Overall, an ok day but nothing you can do about the weather. The company was nice to offer pants and jackets to everyone so it kept our clothes dry and us warm at the top, a nice feature I didn't realize we were getting.

I was recommended this show by the taxi driver I took from the airport and made a reservation. The tables are shared, and everyone chats in a friendly atmosphere.
Not only does it feature relaxed Hawaiian hula dancing, but it also showcases various Polynesian dances from Tahiti, Samoa, and more. There are several interactive performances as well (like children dancing on stage together), making it a show that families, couples, and people of all ages can enjoy together.
One thing to note is that there are many moments where English proficiency is helpful. This includes communication at shared tables and understanding explanations, such as going to the buffet to get food for your table; if you don't catch it well, you might find yourself confused.
空港で乗ったタクシーの運転手さんに
ここのショーを勧められて予約。
テーブルは相席で皆さん和気あいあいとお喋り。
ハワイアンのゆったりしたフラダンスのみならず、
タヒチやサモア等の様々なポリネシアンダンスを披露してくれます。
参加型の演目もいくつかあり(子ども達が舞台で一緒に踊る等)
家族連れやカップル、様々な年齢の人が一緒に楽しめるショーだと感じました。
注意点といえば、英語能力が欲しい場面が多々あります。
相席でのコミュニケーションもですが
ビュッフェで食事をテーブルごとに取りに行く等の説明が、よく聞き取れてないと「あれっ」てなるかも

I drove clockwise from Kapalua with a rental car. Since the roads are quite steep and narrow, it might be better to leave with plenty of time to spare. If you go the other way, the distance is longer, but the roads are easier, so I recommend that route if you're not confident in your driving.
The restroom is clean, but this is the last restroom before horseback riding. After receiving a brief explanation in English, we started riding right away.
We walked up a steep slope from the beginning, but the horses are well-trained and responsive, so it’s not scary at all. The course is varied, the scenery is amazing, and the staff were kind and communicated in broken Japanese.
The basic pace is walking, but they invite those who want to run the horses to give it a try, and there were even two opportunities to do so. I participated in horseback riding tours on other islands, but running was often prohibited there, so I really appreciated the chance to challenge myself here!
I definitely want to participate again when I come to Maui!
カパルアから時計回りでレンタカーで来ました。かなり険しく細い道を通るので、時間に余裕を持って出発した方がいいかもしれません。反対周りならば、距離は遠いですが、簡単な道なので、運転に自信がなければ、そちらをお勧めします。
トイレは綺麗ですが、ここが乗馬前、最後のトイレです。英語で簡単な説明を受けた後、すぐに乗馬開始です。
始めからかなり急坂を歩いて行きますが、馬は良く訓練されていて、言うことを聞いてくれるので、全く怖くありません。
コースは変化に富んでいて、景色も最高、スタッフも片言の日本語で親切に対応してくれました。
基本は歩きですが、馬を走らせたい希望者を募ってくれて、挑戦させてくれます。しかも二回もチャンスがありました。他の島で乗馬ツアーにも参加しましたが、走るのは禁止のところが多かったですが、ここは挑戦させてくれました‼︎
マウイに来たらまた絶対参加したいです‼︎

I continued to persuade my wife, who cannot swim, to join a snorkeling whale shark tour in Cebu last year, saying, "You can float!" This year, we challenged ourselves with snuba. My wife kept saying, "I'm so nervous! My heart is racing!" even before we left the hotel in the morning.
After about an hour of being rocked by the waves while having breakfast on the catamaran, we arrived at Lanai Island. As for my wife, she kept putting her face in the water and saying, "Buhh!" and then "Pahhh!" After 10 minutes of floating, she couldn't dive. However, thanks to Todd, our snuba instructor, who encouraged her with "You can! Believe me!" she finally went underwater.
She was deeply moved by being able to breathe underwater and, when it was over, she exclaimed, "Ahh, that felt so good! Why haven't I done this before?!" just like she said after last year's whale shark tour.
After snorkeling, those who wanted to could join a short tour of the island. Then we enjoyed a barbecue before heading back to the boat. The return trip had higher waves due to the wind. The catamaran stopped its engine and began sailing. I thought about getting tipsy on beer before getting seasick, so I enjoyed a Hawaiian beer. By the way, alcohol is all-you-can-drink.
The crew's hospitality in trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. We had a great time from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I think the cost performance is excellent.
Thank you, Captain Turtle, Crazy Cat Mario, Diving Todd, Balance Ninja Boy Brandon!! We would like to join the tour next year too, with you as the crew.

泳ぎのできない妻を説得し続けて(昨年はセブ島で「浮いてられるから」とシュノーケリング・ジンベイザメ・ツァーに参加)、今年はスヌーバに挑戦。
妻は朝ホテルを出る前から「緊張する! ドキドキする!!」と言い続けていました。
カタマランで朝食を頂きながら波に揺られること1時間少々。ラナイ島到着。
扨て、妻はと言えば、顔をつけては「ブフゥー」。顔をつけては「パフゥー」。浮くこと10分、潜れません。が、スヌーバ担当のTODDの「You can! Believe me!」洗脳(?)で漸く海中に。
海の中で呼吸できることにいたく感動して、終わってみれば「あぁ〜気持ちよかったぁ。今まで何でやって来なかったんだろう!?」と、去年のジンベイザメ・ツァーの時と同じこと言ってました。
シュノーケリング後、希望者は島内ショートツァーへ。
そしてバーベキューをしこたま食べて船に。
ここからの帰りは風の具合で波が高くなります。そして、カタマランはエンジンを止めてセイリングを開始。船酔いする前に酒酔いしてしまおうかと、ハワイビールを頂きました。因みに、アルコールは飲み放題です。
参加者を楽しませようとするクルーの気遣いは中々のものです。
09:00から18:00まで、たっぷりと楽しみました。CPはバッチリだと思います。
The crew's hospitality trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. Cost performance is also satisfactory enough, we enjoyed plenty.

We headed to Mendes Ranch from Kahului by rental car. There are many curves, but I don't think it's particularly dangerous. Mendes Ranch is easy to find, but I recommend registering your destination on Google Maps.
We went during Golden Week, and apart from us, everyone else was foreign visitors. The instructions are only in English, but I think you can manage the horseback riding just by watching the gestures.
The road has a lot of ups and downs, and the horses seemed a bit difficult to walk, but they were skillfully avoiding rocks as they walked. Some horses slipped, but they seemed accustomed to it.
For experienced riders who wish to, they allow the horses to trot uphill. My previous horseback riding experiences were just walking, so this was a great experience. The scenery was also wonderful.
レンタカーでカフルイ方面からメンデスランチに向かいました。カーブがたくさんありますが、それほど危なくはないと思います。
メンデスランチはわかりやすいところにありますが、グーグルマップで目的地を登録しておくとよいと思います。
ゴールデンウィークに行きましたが、自分達の他はみんな外国の方でした。
説明も英語のみですが、身振り手振りをみているだけで乗馬には支障がないと思います。
アップダウンが激しい道で馬も少し歩きにくそうでしたが、岩なども上手に避けながら歩いていました。
脚を滑らせている馬もいましたが、それも慣れた感じでした。
経験者で希望者には、登り坂で馬に駆け足させてくれます。これまでの他の場所での乗馬は歩くだけでしたのでよい経験ができました。
景色も素晴らしかったです。

If you go to Maui you must see the sunrise at Haleakala, and if you are lucky enough to ride with Nettie, your experience will be perfect!
This was our second time seeing the sunrise at our feet but our first with the best guide Nettie - she is almost as spectacular as the mountain!
Knowledgeable, personable and entertaining!
We were on this trip to fulfill the “bucket list” desire of my husband’s sister and her husband and were hoping they were pleased; they were ecstatic!
Thanks Nettie - you are a huge part of a great memory!

This was my first time watching a luau show, so I can't compare it to others, but I really enjoyed the cute dances and the fire dance. After checking in and being guided, we had a photo opportunity (available for purchase at the end for those interested). Once we were seated at our assigned table, drinks were brought to us, and we could enjoy the sunset by the beach while the kids had fun with face painting services. We also got to see the whole pig being roasted. After being seated, there was time to greet the people at the neighboring table, but since our family isn't very good at English, we could only manage to ask where they were from.
The dancers were relatively young, a mix of boys and girls, which gave a cute impression. At one point, kids and newlywed couples were called up to dance together, creating a homey atmosphere.
The meal was served buffet-style, and I tried a bit of everything, all of which was delicious. There wasn't really time for seconds, but the dessert corner had snacks like potatoes that paired well with drinks, so I was able to go back for those multiple times.
ルアウショーを見るのが初めてなので、他と比較することはできませんが、可愛らしいダンスとファイヤーダンスを楽しむことができました。受付をすませて、誘導されると記念撮影が待っています(最後に希望者は購入可)。案内されたテーブルに着いた後、ドリンクを持ってきてもらい、海辺のサンセットを眺めたり、子供達は顔にペインティングをしてもらうサービスを楽しむことができます。また豚の丸焼きができあがったところも見せてもらいます。席に着くと、隣のテーブルの人達と挨拶をしたりする時間がありますが、私たち家族はあまり英語が得意ではないので、出身を聞くくらいの会話しかできませんでした。
ダンサーは割と若い、男の子と女の子といった感じでした。なので可愛らしい印象です。途中で子供達や新婚カップルなどが呼ばれて前に出て一緒に踊る時間もあり、アットホームな印象でした。
食事はバイキング形式で、一通り食べましたが、どれも美味しかったです。食事はおかわりをする時間がありませんでしたが、デザートのコーナーにはポテトなどのお酒のおつまみもあるので、それは何回も取りに行くことができました。

While the tour and tour guides were excellent the weather was not. It looked as if we were going to have s great sun rise when the fog moved in and blocked the view.
Nettie one of the drivers was a distant relative to a Hawaiian process and gave a chant to the rising sun. This was beautiful and the best part of the trip.
All you need to do to make this a perfect adventure is pay Mother Nature more so that she will cooperate.
