From sunset to a sky full of stars! サンセットから満天の星空へ！

Reviewed by: シニアＰＪ

You drive up from nearly sea level to the summit at about 3,000 meters. The sunset, with the changing colors of the sun and the clouds transforming in layers after sunset, is captivating and never gets boring. The starry sky afterward takes your breath away. The starry sky over Lake Tekapo in New Zealand's South Island was lovely, but due to the higher elevation, we enjoyed a cloudless sky that day, allowing us to take in a 360-degree view of the stars. The stories from our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, added to the enjoyment.

標高約3000メートルの頂上まで、海抜0メートル近くから車で上がっていきます。色を変えながら沈んでいく太陽、サンセット後の雲の色が幾重にも変化していく様は、飽きることなく眺められます。その後の満天の星も息をのみます。ニュージーランド南島のテカポ湖の星空も素敵でしたが、標高が高い分、この日は雲一つない状況でしたので、360度の星空を楽しめました。ガイドの山内さんの話も楽しみを倍加させます。

Self-Guided Haleakala Biking Tour - Sunrise & Morning Adventures by Bike Maui

Exhilarating!

Reviewed by: Tim

I went on the self-guided tour. As an experienced cyclist this felt most appropriate. It was as-advertised meaning when they dropped you off you could literally go at your own pace and needed to navigate your way back to the bike shop. I LOVED this part of it. On the drive there the driver went over the turns with us multiple times and even quizzed us to make sure we’d all remember. I even plugged the directions in my phone but didn’t end up needing it. The driver/guide was entertaining telling us stories of the upcountry history and including jokes. Not ‘dad-jokes’ either. This guy was legit funny!!

They do supply you with rain pants and jacket along with a sweatshirt, helmet and gloves. They have all kinds of sizes. It can get really cold at the summit waiting for the sunrise though so suggest bringing your own cold weather layers as well.

I would definitely do this again!

I am a technical salaryman.
I was moved to tears by the wonderful scenery and Yamapi's deep explanation of the starry sky.

I had been feeling down lately from working so hard every day, but seeing such a magnificent and beautiful sunset and starry sky made my daily negatives feel small and I couldn't help but laugh.
And in the end, tears streamed down my cheeks...

It would not be an exaggeration to say it was the best experience.

So moving!! 感動がいっぱい！！

Reviewed by: つやん

This is a tour guided by "Yamapy-san," whom I had been watching on a certain TV program for several years! The excitement began the moment they picked us up at the hotel! It was indeed a popular tour, and the bus was full, with some participants joining for the second time.

We enjoyed watching the sunset from the summit of Haleakalā, and we were able to take wonderful photos! The stargazing experience allowed us to glimpse Yamapy-san's life and character, and I found myself in tears while gazing at the stars. I felt it was something to share with a loved one.

The "Pineapple Snow" chocolate I bought at the Kula Marketplace we stopped at during the tour was incredibly delicious! Yamapy-san provided detailed recommendations for shops and souvenirs, which were very helpful.

On the way back, soothing music played on the bus. After experiencing various thoughtful touches and hospitality, I returned to the hotel with a warm feeling in my heart.

数年前から某テレビ番組で拝見していた『ヤマピーさん』案内によるツアーです！！ホテルにお迎えに来ていただいた時からワクワクの始まり！やはり人気のツアーでバスは満席、二回目の参加という方もいました。
ハレアカラ山頂での夕日鑑賞、素敵な写真を撮っていただきました！！
星空観測はヤマピーさんの人生やお人柄も垣間見え、星空を眺めながら涙がこぼれました。大切な人と来るべきだと思いました。
このツアーの途中で立ち寄るクラマーケットプレイスで買った『パイナップルスノー』というチョコレートはとってもおいしかったです！！
ヤマピーさんがお勧めのお店やお土産などを詳しく教えてくれたので大変参考になりました。
帰りのバスの中では心に沁みる音楽が流れていました。色々な演出やおもてなしを受けて温かい気持ちでホテルに帰りました。

Haleakalā Summit Sunset Viewing + Stargazing Tour <Afternoon / Japanese Guide / Dinner Included> ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞＋星空観測ツアー＜午後／日本語ガイド／夕食付＞

Reviewed by: Tsunopy

It was the rainy season, and with the cloudy weather, I had almost given up on seeing the sunset and the starry sky, but I was able to enjoy both during the breaks in the clouds. Unfortunately, it wasn't a completely clear starry sky, but even with all the haze, I could see some stars, which made me think how beautiful the sky must be when the weather is good. I definitely want to come back for a revenge trip.

The guide quickly showed us the stars through a telescope, along with easy-to-understand explanations, and shared various experiences, reminding us that we are all the same Earthlings in this vast universe. The guide had previously been a manager for a super BIG band! During the trip, he didn't mention anything about that, but on the way back, my husband wondered if the participant who was chatting with the guide might be a band member. When we arrived at the hotel, he asked the guide, and it turned out to be true! Thank you for such a valuable experience.

雨季でしたし、曇り空の行程に、半ばサンセット＆星空を諦めていましたが、雲が途切れる合間にどちらも楽しむことが出来ました。
残念ながら満天の星空とはいきませんでしたが、あれだけガスが出ていても星が見えましたので、お天気が良ければさぞかし美しい星空なんだろうな～と思い眺めていました。いずれ必ずリベンジしたいと思います。
僅かな雲の切れ間から見えた星々を、判り易い解説とともに望遠鏡で手早く見せて頂けたこと、壮大な宇宙の中ではみんな同じ地球人であることなど、様々な経験をされてこられたガイドさんのお話しは、楽しくまた学びのある内容でした。かつて超BIGなバンドのマネージャーをされていたというガイドさん！行程中のお話しでは一切そういった内容には触れられていなかったのですが、帰りの車中で”ガイドさんと仲良くお話しをされてる参加者の方は、もしかしてバンドメンバーの方？”と思った主人が、ホテル到着の際ガイドさんに伺ったところ判明！！！とても貴重な体験をさせて頂きありがとうございました。

The talk by our guide Yamapi and the view from the summit of Haleakalā are worth seeing. ガイドのヤマピーさんのトークとハレアカラ山頂からの景色　一見の価値あり

Reviewed by: penchan

Three years ago, I visited during the day, but this time my wife wanted to enjoy the night view and stargazing, which was beautiful.

The pickup at the hotel in Ka'anapali was at 2:30 PM. The well-known Yamapi from Japanese TV came directly to pick us up and, before heading to the meeting point at the shop, he drove us through the town of Lahaina, introducing the shop and various attractions along the way.

At the meeting point, we joined a family from the south, and the six of us first went to a supermarket to buy takeout sushi packs. We also purchased some bargain bottled snacks for souvenirs, and then we finally drove towards the entrance to Haleakalā.

To prevent altitude sickness, we made three restroom stops along the way. After passing through the entrance checkpoint, our guide Yamapi, who has climbed this mountain countless times, drove safely. About ten minutes before sunset, we parked in a crowded parking lot below the summit, which is used by the tour company, and waited for the sunset while enjoying the view. Gradually, the sun disappeared below the horizon, and even after it had completely set, the pale blue night sky spread out in a fantastical array of colors. Such a vast sky is something you can never see in Japan; it’s a grandeur that can only be experienced here.

After the sun went down, Yamapi truly shined with his stargazing expertise. Having been a member of the astronomy club during his student days, he shared an abundance of knowledge about celestial observations. Other tours might just end with looking at the stars, but we used a GPS telescope to observe various stars and even the craters on the moon. The stargazing concluded with warm tea and warm clothing provided, allowing us to enjoy the chilly summit comfortably.

We returned to the hotel in Ka'anapali just after 10 PM. Thank you so much, Yamapi; we truly enjoyed our night in Maui. The sunset and stargazing tour is dependent on the weather, and we were fortunate tonight. I believe this is a must-do tour when visiting Maui. It was a wonderful experience.

A sky full of stars. 満天の星空

Reviewed by: ケータン

Four years ago, during stargazing at the summit of Mauna Kea, I was able to see the summit of Haleakalā, and this time I participated in the long-awaited tour. The itinerary was easier than Mauna Kea, and I was able to see the stars beautifully. I am grateful for the meticulous planning by our guide, Yamapi. While the grandeur of the summit cannot compare to Mauna Kea, you can see the shadow of the Earth beautifully at Haleakalā. Maui has diverse nature with mountains, waterfalls, and dry areas, which was fantastic. There were hardly any chatty Chinese or Koreans (including Japanese tourists).

４年前にマウナケア山頂で星空観賞の時に、ハレアカラ山頂を見ることができ、今回念願のツアーに参加しました。行程はマウナケアより楽で、星空も綺麗に見ることができました。案内人の山ピーのち密な計画のおかげと感謝しております。山頂の雄大さはマウナケアには負けますが、地球の影がハレアカラは綺麗に見ることができます。マウイ島は山あり滝あり乾燥地ありと多様な自然があり最高でした。おしゃべり中国人、韓国人は、ほとんどいません。（日本人観光客も）

At the parking lot a little below the summit, we set up chairs to enjoy the starry sky. It was a rare clear night, and I was deeply moved by the breathtaking view of the star-filled sky. However, the last segment of the mountain peak performance was a bit lengthy; while some people were thrilled, others who wanted to head home might have had mixed feelings about it.

山頂から少し下った駐車場で、椅子をセットして貰っての星空観賞。久しぶりの晴天との事で、隙間が無いくらいの満天の星空に大感動。ただ最後の山ピー節は少々長く、感激している人もいるが早く帰りたい人も居るので少々評価が分かれるかも。

Haleakalā was cold. ハレアカラ、寒かったです。

Reviewed by: 将来輝かしき苦労娘

I participated in a sunrise tour at the summit of Haleakalā on my first visit to Maui. I was a bit confused about the need for reconfirmation, so I called the tour company the day before, but I still didn't quite understand it. On the day of the tour, the bus arrived almost on time. Everyone except me was a foreigner. We were assigned seats, and they provided a Japanese brochure and a Japanese audio guide (upon request). We drove in the dark and quickly arrived at the summit of Haleakalā. While waiting for the sunrise, the wind was strong and it was really cold. I thought I had dressed warmly enough for the tour, but it was still chilly. However, when the sun finally rose, I felt its brightness and warmth, and I could truly appreciate the greatness of nature. The scenery was absolutely stunning. If I ever come to Maui again, I would love to participate in this tour once more.

初めてのマウイ島、ハレアカラ山頂のサンライズツアーに参加しました。よく分からなかったのがリコンファームが必要と書いてあり、不安ながら参加前日に催行会社へ電話をしましたが・・、あれが良く分かりませんでした。当日、ほぼ時間通りにバスが迎えに来てくれました。私以外すべて外国人でした。席を決められており、そこには日本語のパンフレット、日本語のオーディオガイド(要リクエスト)をご準備いただきました。暗い中を走り、あっという間にハレアカラ山頂へ到着。サンライズまでの待ち時間、風も強く本当に寒いです。だいぶ防寒対策をしてツアーに参加したつもりでしたが、それでも寒かったです。しかしいざ太陽が昇ってくると明るさと温かさを感じ、自然の偉大さを体で感じることができました。景色が本当に素晴らしいです。マウイ島に来ることがあれば、また参加したいです。

It was a valuable experience. 貴重な経験でした

Reviewed by: Greentea

I participated with my parents in their 70s.

Previously, I had joined a sunset tour at Mauna Kea on the Big Island, so this time I definitely wanted to experience the sunrise.

The sunrise at Haleakalā was truly a precious experience. The sun rising from the magnificent sea of clouds is hard to describe. The space where we waited in the dark, shivering from the cold, transformed into a bright and warm glow with the sun's arrival—it's something you can only understand by experiencing it. The starry sky was also exceptional, but the beauty of the changing colors of the sky is beyond words.

At the summit, there were many tourists reserving spots, and we waited for about an hour. Warm clothing is essential. We prepared winter heat-tech shirts, down jackets, hats, and gloves, but I regretted not wearing two pairs of pants. Hand warmers are also a must, especially for Japanese people who are sensitive to the cold. However, for the trip back and forth, it's better to wear light clothing like a T-shirt, and it's advisable to prepare for changing clothes on the bus since you can leave your luggage there.

One disappointing aspect was that I had requested a Japanese audio guide, but ultimately there was nothing available. I was prepared for the fact that the sunrise tour only had an English guide, but I had a bit of hope since VERTRA's website mentioned one audio guide for every two people. While it was fine to follow along with others to see the sunrise, I could hardly understand the explanations from the guide on the way there and back due to my limited English skills. That was disappointing.

Breakfast was at a golf course, where you can choose your favorite menu items. The breakfast was really delicious. However, the guide didn't manage the seating arrangements well, and we ended up separated into two groups of two and one for breakfast. I understand that it's difficult to expect the same level of detailed service as in Japan, but I wished the guide had put in a little more effort.

The Haleakalā sunset tour in Japanese is also popular. For those who are good at English and okay with a midnight departure, I think the sunrise tour is definitely worth it. However, if I have the opportunity to go to Maui again, I would like to participate in the sunset tour. Alternatively, it might be good to drive to Haleakalā myself since the road is straightforward, so there's no chance of getting lost—just during the daytime.

70代の両親と参加しました。

以前、ハワイ島でマウナケアのサンセットツアーに参加していたので、今回は是非サンライズを、と思って参加しました。

ハレアカラのサンライズは本当に貴重な体験になりました。
雄大な雲海から昇ってくる太陽はなんとも言い難く。真っ暗で寒さに震えながら太陽を待っていた空間が、太陽によって一気に明るくあたたかく輝いたものに変化していくのは、体験してこそわかるもの。星空も抜群でしたが、移りゆく空の色の美しさはなんとも言えません。
山頂には大勢の観光客が場所とりをして、1時間ほど待っています。
防寒具は必須。私たちは冬用のヒートテックのシャツにダウン、帽子や手袋も準備していましたが、それでもズボンを二枚ばきにすれば良かったと後悔しました。カイロも必須です。寒さに過敏な日本人は特にかも。
ただし、行き帰りは普通にTシャツの軽装の方がよく、バス車内で脱ぎ着ができるように準備しておいた方が良いと思います。バスには荷物を置いておけるので。

残念だったこと。
日本語のオーディオをリクエストしていましたが、結局何もないまま。
英語ガイドしかサンライズはないので覚悟はしていましたが、VERTRAさんのHPには2人に1台貸し出し、とあっていたので少し期待していました。サンライズを観るについては、他の人と同じように動いていれば大丈夫だったのですが、行き帰りのガイドさんの説明など、こちらの英語力の乏しさもあって殆どわからず。残念でした。

朝食はゴルフ場で。自分の好きなメニューを選べます。
こちらの朝食は本当に美味しかったです。
ただ、座席の配分をガイドさんが上手に手配してくれず、私たちだけ2人と1人に分かれて朝食を取りました。日本のような細やかなサービスを求めるのは難しいとはわかっていますが、ガイドさんのもう一手間が欲しかったです。

ハレアカラはサンセットの日本語ツアーも人気です。
英語が得意、夜中の出発もOKの方はサンライズツアーも大いにありかと思いますが、今度、もしマウイに行く機会があればサンセットに参加したいと思います。もしくは、ハレアカラを自分でドライブするのが良いかもしれません。道路については一本道ですので、迷うこともなく。ただし日中に。

The stars were very close and beautiful. It felt like they were falling. The weather was nice, and the sunrise was also very beautiful. At the summit, the wind was strong, and the perceived temperature was quite low.

I participated alone, and there were no other Japanese people, but everyone on the tour was nice and friendly, and they spoke to me casually. Thanks to that, it turned out to be a fun tour.

とても星が近く綺麗でした。星が降ってくるような感じでした。

1人で参加、他に日本人はいませんでしたが、ツアーに参加される方も良い方ばかりで気さくに声をかけていただきました。

セクシーな朝日！ sexy sunrise ！

Reviewed by: fantastic

The sun hid behind the clouds at a crucial moment, but according to our wonderful driver and guide, Neri, we were lucky enough to witness the sexy sunrise, which has only about a 5 percent chance of being seen!

Anyway, on this Haleakalā tour, Neri, the only female driver, was incredibly skilled as a guide and had perfect driving techniques.

The tour was on August 16, and it was really cold; even wearing a Heattech turtleneck and an ultra-light down jacket, I felt like I was shivering. I think it would have been nice to have ear muffs, hand warmers, and something like a blanket or a cape as extra gear.

My fellow passengers were from Germany and the United States (San Francisco, Chicago, etc.), and we all had a great time. The guide spoke in English, and I think I understood about half of it, but it wasn't a problem at all.

太陽は、肝心なところで雲隠れしてしまいましたが、素晴らしいドライバー兼ガイドのネリさんの言によれば、5パーセント程度での確率でしか見ることの出来ないセクシーサンライズ！を拝むことが出来てラッキーでした。
とにかく、このハレアカラツアーで一人しかいないという女性ドライバーのネリさんは、ガイドはこの上なく上手く、ドライブテクニックも完璧でした。
さて、8月16日のツアーでしたが、とにかく寒くヒートテックのタートルネックにウルトラライトダウンを着込んでも震えが来るような体感温度でした。
耳あて、ホッカイロ、毛布ようなマント？のようなものも備えとしてあれば良かったかと思います。
なお、同乗者はドイツ、アメリカ(サンフランシスコ、シカゴなど)のメンバーでしたが、十分に楽しむことが出来ました。
英語のガイドですが、何となく半分程度は理解出来たと思いますが、特に問題はありませんでしたよ。

It was a bit disappointing. 少し残念でした。

Reviewed by: miyuki

The weather was good, but perhaps due to the lack of wind, clouds covered the sky and we couldn't see many stars at the summit. Since the weather is beyond our control, I accepted that. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the guide who suggested we should try again next time. However, at around 1000 meters, we started to see a few stars, so we stopped the car and were able to see the stars again. The guide offered to explain the stars now or to plan for a future visit, allowing everyone to choose.

I felt very humbled, but since we were all meeting for the first time, I thought it would be difficult to choose one option as opinions might differ. There were four groups, and one person from my group said they wanted to proceed with the explanation, but someone from another group suggested we should plan for a future visit, so everyone agreed on the latter. I was fine with the idea of a future visit, but I felt a bit disappointed because I didn't think everyone would be able to return.

Other than that, I thought the attention to detail in the selection of background music and the setup of chairs at the summit was wonderful.

天候は良かったのですが、風があまりなかったせいか雲がかかり山頂で星があまり見えませんでした。天候はどうしようもできないので納得をしています。お心遣い頂き今度リベンジしましょうと言って頂いたのですが、1000mあたりの場所で少し星が見えてきたので、車を停めて頂き改めて星を見せて頂けました。もし良かったら今星の説明をさせて頂くか今度リベンジか皆で選んで下さいとの言葉を頂きました。
非常に恐縮ですが、お互い初めて会った人ばかりで意見は別れる場合もあるのにどちらか選ぶ事は難しいと思います。4グループいて1人の方が今お願いしますと言われましたが違うグループの方がリベンジでと言われたので皆さんリベンジで合わされました。私もリベンジで良かったのですが、皆さんが再訪出来る訳では無いと思いましたので、その点だけ残念に思いました。
その他はBGMの選曲や山頂での椅子のセッティングあらゆる面での説明など事細かな配慮は素晴らしかったと思います。

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

One Maui Morning

Reviewed by: jqgossard

As early as the pick up times for this tour, it was worth it!! The experience to watch the sunrise over Maui and right above the clouds of Haleakala was absolutely amazing!! Shuttle ride up the mountain was perfect to take naps before arriving to the summit. Pick a spot along the fence line as soon as you can because it gets crowded very fast!!

Now...all visitors, PLEASE understand that you are a VISITOR into the home of Hawaiian Islanders, RESPECT their boundaries on their land!!! DO NOT hop over fence lines!! There are barriers for a reason!!
1) They are protecting their island plants and animals as they aren’t very many anymore.
2) STAY OFF SACRED LAND!!! They welcomed you into their home, respect the places you are not allowed to enter!!

Don’t be ignorant!! Respect the land you travel!
There were MANY ignorant people that even when the park representatives came out to get people back over the right side of the fence were ignored!

They opened their home and welcomed you so that you can experience an amazing view, enjoy it by appreciating their hospitality and respecting their boundaries.

The natives will chant as the sunrises, it would be nice for everyone to quiet the conversation and bask in the chant and take in this spectacular experience.

During the explanation of the stars, it felt like something out of Star Wars, with laser beams creating an illusion that the stars were suddenly closer. It was really cool.

ツワ～ガイドさんの山内さんのレベルが高くて、最高の案内をして頂きました。思い出に残るツワ～でした。
とっても寒かったけど。 ハレアカラ山頂から見た星。生まれて初めての経験でした。星の説明の時まるでスターウォーズ見たい、いきなり星が近くなるような錯角をおこす位レザー光線｡。カッコ良かったです。

Wonderful guide. すばらしいガイド

Reviewed by: yama

You can hear various stories about Maui along the way. The guide, who is knowledgeable about the stars, provides detailed explanations using a telescope. If I had gone by rental car, I wouldn't have been able to have such an experience.

The starry sky in Maui is amazing. マウイの星空最高

Reviewed by: うっち

It was my first time in Maui. I remember feeling very relieved to have a Japanese tour in Maui, where Japanese is hardly spoken. I heard many stories related to Maui. The sunset was truly beautiful, and I was amazed by the countless shining stars. They explained each one through a telescope, and I was able to confirm them. It was very cold, but they lent us warm clothing, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to show this to my family. On the way back, everyone was exhausted and sleeping.

初マウイでした。日本語がほとんど通じないマウイで日本語のツアー。とてもホッとしたのを覚えてます。マウイにまつわる話をたくさん聞かせていただきました。夕陽がほんとにきれいでした。そして、輝くたくさんの星に感激しました。望遠鏡で1つずつ説明してくださり、確認しました。とても、寒かったですが防寒着も貸してくださり安心でした。家族にもぜひ、見せてやりたいです。帰りは疲れきって、みんなが寝ていました。

I was impressed by Yamapi's high level of hospitality. ヤマピーさんのホスピタリティの高さに感動しました。

Reviewed by: つとむ

It's been mentioned many times, but I think those who are reading this and are inexperienced might not fully grasp it, so I’ll write it down even if it overlaps with other reviews.
"You should participate in this tour while it's available."
"There are only three companies that can conduct stargazing tours: American, Korean, and this Yamapi."
"The entry restrictions for the tour are strict, so you should apply immediately as there's no guarantee you can participate."
First of all, Yamapi mentioned that they might only be able to continue for a few more years, so this wonderful experience is something you can only have now. Among the three companies with operating permits, you can only choose between the American company, which has just started a few years ago, or Yamapi's tour, excluding the rather careless Korean company. However, reaching the summit at 3055m (even by car) is more challenging than you might imagine. There is no more comfortable tour than Yamapi's, which has over 3000 successful runs and exceptional hospitality.
Also, even though it's a tour company, there are limits on the number of people they can take, so booking early is wise.
As for the tour content, it’s not just about being driven to the summit to casually watch the sunset and stars. Along the way, they explain about the towns of Lahaina and Kahului as you ascend the mountain. To avoid altitude sickness, they stop at a donut shop and make multiple restroom breaks, showing great attention to detail. Everyone buys a bento, and for some reason, the timing for the sunset is perfect, which is truly moving. You can also see the green flash, and Yamapi takes photos of each group. It's recommended to bring a digital camera rather than just a smartphone. Enjoy waiting for the night while eating your bento and stargazing. It’s not just about looking up at the night sky. The stargazing experience with two professional telescopes and explanations exceeds all expectations. It’s something you absolutely must see and hear. On the way back, they safely navigate the dark, steep roads.
As I write this, I feel like I’m not conveying the greatness of this tour at all. Please participate, see, hear, and be impressed and moved. Your reason for coming to Maui will be significantly enhanced!

何度も書かれていることですが、おそらくこれを読んでいる未経験者の方々にはピンと来ていないだろうと思いますので、他のレビューと重複するかもしれませんが書いておきます。
『このツアーがあるうちに参加しておくべき』
『星空ツアーが催行できる会社は米国系･韓国系とこのヤマピーさんの三社のみ』
『ツアーの入山規制が厳しくて、必ず参加できるとは限らないからすぐに申し込むべき』
まず、ヤマピーさんもあと数年しか続けられないと話されていますので、この素晴らしい体験が出来るのも今しかないってことです。催行許可を持っている三社の中で、最もいい加減な韓国系は除いて、まだ始めて数年の米国系 or ヤマピーさんのツアーどちらかに参加するしかありませんが、3055mへの登頂は（車で行くとはいえ）想像以上に厳しいのが事実。催行回数3000回を超えるヤマピーさんの経験とホスピタリティに勝る快適なツアーはありません。
また、ツアー会社といえど入山させることが出来る人数には制約上限りがありますので、早め早めの予約が吉です。
肝心のツアー内容ですが、単に車で山頂まで連れて行ってくれてサンセットと星空をぶらぶらと眺めて帰ってくるわけではありません。道中、ラハイナやカフルイの町を解説しながら山の中腹へ。高山病を避けるためにドーナツショップへ立ち寄り、トイレに複数回立ち寄る細やかな気配り。お弁当をみんなで買って、何故かタイミングバッチリのサンセットに感動。グリーンフラッシュも見られますし、ヤマピーさんが一組ずつ写真撮影してくれます。スマホよりはデジカメを持参することがおすすめ。お弁当を食べながら楽しく闇夜を待って、星空鑑賞。ただ夜空を見上げるだけじゃありません。プロ用の望遠鏡を2台使っての解説付き星空鑑賞は期待も想像も軽く超えてきます。絶対見るべき、聞くべきです。帰り道も真っ暗な急な坂道を安全運転でしっかり届けて回ってくれます。
書きながら思いましたが、まったく伝わらない気がしますね、このツアーの素晴らしさが。ほんと参加して、見て、聞いて、感心して感動してみて下さい。マウイ島へ来た意味が格段にアップします！

I absolutely wanted to visit Haleakalā when I went to Maui! Unfortunately, the sunrise wasn't very clear due to the weather. However, the sea of clouds was magnificent and had its own mystique. Everything was explained in English, and we could also borrow an audio guide. The guide was very considerate towards us, a Japanese couple, and spoke to us a lot. My husband, who doesn't speak any English at all, also enjoyed it. The pancakes for breakfast were delicious as well. I hope to see the sunrise next time I go to Maui!

マウイに行ったら絶対行きたかったハレアカラ山！ご来光はお天気の加減できれいに見えませんでした。でも雲海が素晴らしくてそれもまた神秘的でした。全て英語での説明。一応オーディオガイドもお借りできます。ガイドさんは私たち日本人夫婦をとてもよく気遣ってくださり、たくさん話しかけてくれました。全く英語が話せない主人も楽しんでいました。朝食のパンケーキもとても美味しかったです。次マウイに行く時はご来光がみれますように！

Haleakalā Summit Sunrise Viewing Tour ハレアカラ山頂　日の出鑑賞ツアー

Reviewed by: つるママ

I was a bit worried about the early morning, or rather late night, pickup, but I was relieved when they arrived earlier than scheduled. Since it was an English tour, I was anxious, but the warm hospitality put me at ease. Also, the driver and guide, Neli, was fantastic!

It was a shame that I only understood about half of what was said, but he talked about important things in Hawaii (probably... haha) in a captivating way, which, combined with the enchanting nature of Haleakalā, made for a mysterious experience. During sunrise, he chanted, and that alone almost brought me to tears. It was truly a great tour. After descending the mountain, we enjoyed breakfast in a lovely place with a view of Haleakalā. MAHALO Nui Loa!!

早朝？というか夜中のピックアップで少し心配でしたが、予定より早く来てもらい安心しました。英語のツアーなので不安でしたが、温かい対応でほっとしました。また、バスを乗り換え、運転手兼ガイド、Neliが最高でした！！
半分ぐらいしかわからなかったのが残念でしたが、ハワイの大切なこととか（多分・・笑）話してくれるのですが、こちらが引き込まれるような語り方に、ハレアカラの幻想的な自然と相まって不思議な体験ができました。また、日の出の時には、チャントを唱えてくれてそれだけで涙が出そうでした。本当にいいツアーでした。山を下りてからの朝食も、目の前にハレアカラを望みながら、雰囲気のいいところでおいしく頂けました。MAHALO Nui Loa!!

Haleakalā Sunset ハレアカラサンセット

Reviewed by: やーさん

I wanted to sign up for the Japanese tour, but it was fully booked with no cancellations, so I reluctantly joined the English tour, which turned out to be the right decision. The van was large enough that I could use two seats by myself, making it quite spacious compared to the number of people, and they provided a Japanese tablet for explanations, so my anxiety about the language was alleviated. The meal at the golf course café was warm and delicious.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour, and at times it felt like we were driving through the clouds, so I couldn't see the scenery around us. However, when we reached the summit, the clouds cleared for a short time, and I was able to enjoy the crater and the sunset. The English tour ends at sunset, so we didn't get to see the starry sky, but I didn't feel disappointed since I thought the clouds would have blocked the stars anyway.

It can be cold at the summit, so it's best to dress warmly. There were participants in shorts and short-sleeve shirts who borrowed jackets from the driver, and they looked cold. I also spotted the Japanese tour vehicle at the summit, and compared to the English tour, it seemed smaller and likely cramped since it was fully booked. For those who get motion sickness, I recommend the larger van from the English tour.

日本語ツァーに申し込み希望でしたが、満席でキャンセルもなかったので、仕方なく英語ツァーに参加しましたが、結果的にはこれが大正解でした。
バンは大型で1人で2席が使えるほど人数に比べゆったりとしており、説明も日本語のタブレットを貸していただいたので、英語の不安はなくなりました。
食事もゴルフ場のカフェで温かい美味しくいただきました。
ただ、当日はあいにくの雨天で途中は雲の中を走っているようで周りの景色は見えませんでしたが、頂上に着くと短時間でしたが雲も去り、クレーターと夕陽を堪能できました。
英語ツァーは夕陽までで星空を見ないで帰ってしまいますが、この日は雲で星が見えなかったと思えるので、残念には感じませんでした。
頂上は寒いので防寒はしっかりいておいた方が良いですよ。短パン・半袖シャツで参加されていた方は、運転の方のヤッケを借りましたが寒そうでした。
なお、頂上で日本語ツァーの車を見かけましたが、英語ツァーに比べると小型で、かつ満席で窮屈だったのかなと思えました。
車酔いするかたは、英語ツァーの大きなバンがお薦めです。

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds and the endlessly shining stars. 雲海に沈む夕日と果てしなく輝く星々

Reviewed by: Michi

The weather on the day was not good from the morning, but by the evening, the sun began to peek through the clouds at the summit. The massive crater towards the Big Island was shrouded in gas, so we couldn't see it in its entirety, but in the opposite direction, the orange sunset slowly spread over the sea of clouds far below, briefly glowing green before disappearing. The people watching it appeared like silhouettes against the orange screen. Once it was completely enveloped in twilight, we descended a little from the summit and were treated to a starry sky. The stars shone overwhelmingly, covering the night sky, and the Milky Way flowed across the vast sky like a silver river. After nodding in agreement with my partner, we looked through two telescopes at the Large Magellanic Cloud, Jupiter, and Saturn surrounded by its elongated rings. It was truly an extraordinary experience. Thank you to our driver who explained various things along the way, including Haleakalā and Maui.

当日の天候が朝から良くなかったのですが夕方近くから日差しが見えてきて頂上では雲の隙間から太陽がのぞいてきました。ハワイ島方向の巨大クレーターは、ガスがかかって全体を見ることはできませんでしたが、その反対方向にはオレンジの夕日が足元から広がる雲海の遥か先にゆっくりと、最後に一瞬緑に光って消えていきます。それを見守る人々はオレンジのスクリーンに映る影絵の様相。すっかり夕闇に包まれたころ頂上から少し降りたところで星空を見せてくれました。圧倒的に夜空を覆い尽くして輝く星々、大空を大河のように横切って流れる銀河はまさに銀の河、天の川。「こんなの子どもの頃に見たきりだ」と相方とうなづきあった後、二台の望遠鏡で見せてくれた大マゼラン星雲、木星や縦長の輪に囲まれた土星。
まさに非日常な出来事、体験でした。ハレヤカラやマウイなど様々な事を道中説明してくれたドライバーさん、ありがとうございました。

I signed up with my 84-year-old mother. Although she is healthy, I was worried about whether she would be okay reaching the summit, but our guide, Yama-chan, welcomed us warmly without any signs of discomfort.

Yama-chan's thoughtfulness, the enjoyable conversations on the way to the summit, and the clear and detailed explanations during the sunset viewing and stargazing provided us not only with the beauty of the stars but also with opportunities to reflect on various aspects of life through nature.

This tour requires a permit, and it seems that only 11 people can participate in one vehicle. The other participants were also wonderful people, and we all took turns using the two telescopes without any fuss, marveling at the stars multiple times.

I would love to experience stargazing with Yama-chan again while enjoying our conversations!!!

84歳の母と申し込みました。元気な母ですが山頂まで大丈夫か心配していましたが、ガイドの山ちゃんは全くいやな顔をしないでとても歓迎してくれました。
とにかく山ちゃんの心配り、山頂へ向かう道中までの楽しい話、夕日観賞・星空観にはわかりやすく丁寧な説明、そして星の美しさだけでなく自然を通していろいろ人生を考える機会を与えてくれました。
このツアーには認可が必要で車1台に乗れる11人しか参加することが出来ないそうです。
参加された方もすごくいい人たちで二台の天体望遠鏡も取り合うことなくみんなで順番に感激しながら何度も観ました。
またぜひ山ちゃんと楽しくお話をしながらきれいな星を観てみたい！！！
