We were over 30 minutes early for the scheduled tour shuttle, which was good because they showed up right after we did and wanted to leave.
The guide was very nice, but carried on a conversation with the passenger in the front seat for a lot of the time, and didn't inform us about much in the 3+ hours we spent in the van.
It was mostly cloudy all day, but he said it would clear up on top of the mountain. Well.. it didn't. He had a nice jackets, chairs and a blanket for everyone, as well as a nice telescope. The sky opened up for a quick look at Jupiter and it's moons, and our moon, but nothing else. We spent inside of 2 minutes total, looking through the telescope. Not much discussion of anything at all. It was a total bust and certainly not worth $230 per person. Make sure the sky will be clear and the moon will not be out as it makes it nearly impossible to see anything. Otherwise you're wasting your time and money. I know the tour guide doesn't control the weather, and he did offer a return trip next time we were on the island with a half day to spend in a van, but we will pass.

I decided to join this tour because I wanted to fulfill my long-held dream of visiting Haleakalā Mountain in Maui for my graduation trip. Since it was a small group, I was able to enjoy breathtaking views, eat delicious food, and have many conversations with the other participants, including our guide, Mr. Yama P. It became an unforgettable memory! The scenery, Mr. Yama P's personality, everything was amazing! Thank you very much!!
大学の卒業旅行で、マウイのハレアカラ山に行きたい念願を叶えたくてこのツアーの参加を決めました。
少人数だったこともあり、山Pさん含め他の参加者の方々と絶景を見ながら、美味しいものを食べながら、たくさんお話できたことが、忘れられない思い出になりました!
景色も、山Pさんの人柄も、全部最高でした!ありがとうございました!!

Had an amazing time out fishing with the crew, my husband caught a couple fish and we saw so many whales up close. The crew and captain are very engaging and quick to help out, they cleaned our fish and gave us pointers on how to cook it. Such a great experience, would definitely do it again! Thank you!

Clive was like an old friend you're visiting for one day. One who doesn't mind talking about everything about his life and home. Takes you by the local coffee hangout. Points out the axis deer herd on the plain. Waves to all the people he knows. Drops by the Garden of the gods. Shows off the shipwreck beach nearby while pointing out the turtles under your feet. Even harvests a coconut from the beach and takes you by his home to shuck so you can taste the real thing. Can't imagine a better morning.

I participated in this tour with my parents in November 2025. On the same day, there was an American couple who joined us, and our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, provided thorough explanations in both English and Japanese. He shared various sightseeing information about Maui, and we visited some recommended restaurants during our stay afterward. The views and the food were both very delicious, and we were quite satisfied. It was helpful to hear so much information!
We stopped at a supermarket to buy dinner, and the poke there was incredibly tasty. I definitely recommend purchasing it as Mr. Yamauchi suggested. You won't be disappointed.
And then there was Haleakalā. I was completely overwhelmed by the breathtaking nature. From above the clouds, overlooking all of Maui, I was enveloped in emotion as I watched the beautiful sunset, the island gradually fading into twilight, and the sparkling lights of the town. Unfortunately, the starry sky was obscured by thin clouds, so I couldn't see it clearly, but I did get to look at various planets through an impressive telescope. I could see Saturn quite well.
I have an iPhone 11, and its camera isn't very good, but Mr. Yamauchi took photos with his high-performance phone and shared them with me via AirDrop. He took many other pictures as well, allowing us to capture wonderful family memories. I was truly happy about that.
On the way back, we got excited talking about Southern music, and he played some Southern music in the car, which made both of my parents very happy. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness. When we talked about hula, he showed us various videos, which made me happy.
Overall, it was a tour with no complaints. I'm glad I participated in the tour. It was a lot of fun, and I was very, very happy to see my parents' joyful faces.
2025年11月にこちらのツアーで両親と三人で参加しました。同日、アメリカ人のカップルが一緒に参加されていましたが、ガイドの山内さんは英語と日本語両方でしっかりとご説明くださいました。マウイ島の観光情報について色々と教えてくださり、翌日以降の滞在でおすすめのレストランに行ったのですが、ヴューもご飯もとても美味しく満足でした。いろんな情報が聞けて助かりました!
途中寄ったスーパーで夕食を購入したのですが、そこのスーパーのPokeがとても美味しかったです。ぜひ山内さんのおすすめ通りに購入してみてください。外れません。
そしてハレアカラ。言わずもがなの自然に圧倒されっぱなしでした。マウイ島を一望できる雲海の上で、美しい夕日とと夕闇に染まりゆく島、そして街の煌びやかな明かりを目にして、じわりと感動に包まれました。星空は残念ながら薄雲がかかって綺麗に見ることはできなかったのですが、いかにも凄そうな望遠鏡でいろんな惑星を見ました。土星もしっかり見えました。
私の携帯はiPhone11でカメラ機能はあまり良くはないのですが、山内さんご自身の高性能の携帯カメラで撮ってくださり、それをAirDropで共有してくださいました。他にも写真をいっぱい撮ってくれて、素敵な家族写真を思い出に残すことができました。ほんとうに嬉しかったです。
帰りにはサザンの話で両親と盛り上がって、車内ではサザンの音楽をかけてくださって、二人ともとても大喜びでした。お気遣いをほんとうにありがとうございました。フラの話をした時には、いろんな動画を見せてくださって、嬉しかったです。
全体として文句のつけどころがないツアーでした。ツアーに参加して良かったです。とても楽しかったですし、両親の喜ぶ顔が見られてとてもとてもうれしかったです。
Considering the weather, it's recommended to participate on the first day. There is a backup in case the stars are not visible. If you tend to get cold, it might be a good idea to bring a light down j
天候のことを考えると初日に参加するのがおすすめです。もし星が見れなかった時のカバーがあるので。

I have traveled to Hawaii over 20 times, but this is the first time I've been so impressed by an optional tour. I highly recommend that people in their teens, twenties, thirties, and forties participate and experience this emotion. (As you get older, it becomes harder to see due to presbyopia) *I experienced this too.
【Here are some checkpoints】
■ Scenic Points
They will definitely prepare spots that will truly impress everyone. However, it can be quite cold, so at a minimum, heat-tech clothing for both the upper and lower body is essential. If possible, bringing a thermos with warm drinks might be necessary. *Of course, warm tea is provided.
■ Shopping at the Supermarket
Korean seaweed is highly recommended. *Especially the wasabi flavor is the best.
■ Time
It takes quite a long time, including the round trip. The tour guide is fully proficient in both Japanese and English, so I recommend sitting close to the driver's seat for various educational talks.
I have participated in various optional tours, but I truly recommend this one. As someone who has children and grandchildren, I believe this experience will definitely become a wonderful memory.
The cost is on par with golfing in Waikiki, but the level is different.
It was truly a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
ハワイを20回以上、旅行していますが、
こんなに感銘を受けたオプショナルは初めてです。
是非、10代、20代、30代、40代の方に参加して、この感動を味わって頂きたいです。
(年齢が過ぎると老眼で見えにくくなります)※私もそうでした
【ここからは、チェックポイント】
■絶景ポイント
必ず誰もが本当に感動出来るスポットを用意してもらえます。
ただ、やはりかなり寒いです。最低限、上下のヒートテックは必須です。
可能であれば水筒持参で温かい水分は必要かもしれません。
※もちろん温かいお茶をご用意頂いています
■スーパーマーケットで買い物
韓国のりは、おすすめです。※特にワサビ味は最高
■時間
結構、往復含め長い時間がかかります。
ツアーガイドの方は、日本語/英語がフルスペックなので、
色々な勉強になるトークが出来る分、運転席に近い席をお勧めします。
色々なオプショナルに参加していますが、
本当に参加をお勧めします。

The sunrise and sea of clouds viewed from the summit of Haleakalā was the best moment. The subsequent cycling tour was simply "amazing!"

We had a great time on our Trip to Lanai! Our guide, Clive, was awesome. He took us around and let us spend as much time at each place as we wanted. He has lived on Lanai a long time and was able to give us insights into life on the island. We visited Garden of the Gods and Shipwreck Beach among other sights. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide or tour. He dropped us off at the Blue Ginger restaurant in Lanai City at the end of the tour at our request, where we had an excellent lunch. Then we toured around Lanai City for the rest of the afternoon.
We went back to the port early in order to visit the beach near the port (Hulopo’e beach), which is a 10 minute stroll from the port. Very nice beach. In order to do that we called the shuttle company, Rabaca’s limousine service (808-559-0230) who was able to send a van early to pick us up. No guarantee they will be able to do that, but worth giving them a call if desired.

Tour organizers were excellent, great communications. Captain Larry and first mate Zach were great, excellent hosts and put us on a bunch of fish.
Started slow, trolling until we reached the bottom fishing sites . Caught a few fish, including small barracudas. Finally hit a spot where the actions was wild, at one time five fish on at the same time. Zach ably handled it all, including taking our pictures with the fish. If you wanted to bring them home, Zach had some good recipes.
On the way into the harbor, saw over a half dozen whales. Great experience!

From the time of pickup, there were thick clouds over the mountain, and it was raining below the clouds. Although the tour was conducted because it was said that the summit was above the clouds, even above 2000 meters, we were still in the clouds. At the summit, we couldn't see much because we were surrounded by clouds. The tour conditions state that there may be times when the weather is bad and the scenery cannot be enjoyed, so there was no cash back for the participation fee, but they mentioned that the next attempt would be free of charge.
ピックアップの時から山には厚い雲がかかっていて、雲の下では雨でした。頂上は雲の上とのことでツアーは催行されましたが、2000mを超えても雲の中。頂上も雲の中でほとんど何も見えませんでした。ツアー参加の条件として天候が悪く景観が楽しめないときもあります、とあるので参加費用のキャッシュバックはありませんでしたが、次回の再トライは無料で対応してくれるということでした。
When the weather is bad, I think it's a good idea to contact the tour operator in advance and discuss the possibility of canceling before the tour if it seems unlikely that the weather will improve. H
天候が悪いときは事前にツアー連絡先に連絡し、天候改善が望めそうにないときは催行前キャンセルを相談してみるのが良いと思います。天候が悪いことを理由にキャンセル対応してくれるかどうかはわかりませんが。
