We had a great time on the Road to Hana. Our wonderful guide made some wonderful stops and shared a lot of interesting information with us along our journey. She made sure we got great pictures and had a wonderful experience. I lost the card with her name on it but she told us to call her Auntie. She has lived on the island for a long time and taught us so much about the history. It was all very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour.

I was thrilled to see the Milky Way for the first time in 40 years. The environment for stargazing was meticulously arranged with telescopes, reclining chairs for viewing, warm clothing, and explanations of the night sky, allowing for a comfortable experience. I would like to visit again in a different season to see different stars.
40年ぶりに見た天の川に感激しました。
2遠鏡、仰向けで見るためのチェアー、防寒具、星空の解説等、星を見るための環境を微に入り細に入り整えてあり、快適に星を鑑賞することができました。

Please come back anytime to see the stars in Maui. The planets you can see vary by season, so next time you can see Saturn starting in June. Jupiter is also highly recommended.

The road to Hana (the ACTUAL road) is long and arduous at times. Through tropical rain forest style topography, this part of the island is deep in native history - stories and parables that influence life there to this day. The road is often VERY VERY narrow, and many miles of it, dirt and unpaved. Besides it not being a great idea to put your rental car through that, its much more comfortable taking the guided tour. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and shared with us many stories of the rich history. Several stops along the way to swim in pools below waterfalls, have lunch and numerous photo-op stops at black beaches and shoreline vistas. It makes for a LONG day, but well worth it.

I’ve ridden horses since I was young and even used to work at a local trail riding center. This was the best ride I have ever been on, especially for a tourist ride. The guides were awesome and very helpful. They were able to help the beginner riders but also made it a fun ride for those who were more advanced. We trotted a lot, the scenery was amazing, and the picture opportunities were beautiful. We also got to try fresh passion fruit. At the end we got to “run” our horses if we wanted to. I expected a leisurely canter, but it was a full on gallop one at a time. I got to let my horse go as fast as he wanted and it was incredible! Highly highly recommend this tour!

First of all, I want to say that if you have the chance, don't hesitate to go! They take you gradually to help you acclimate to avoid altitude sickness, and along the way, they stop at supermarkets and souvenir shops to share recommendations.
A sunset above the clouds is something you rarely get to see. It was so moving that it wrapped me in silence and made me forget my daily life as time flowed slowly. After that, we were treated to a sky full of stars. The constellations were clearly visible, and countless stars spread across the sky. Fortunately, I even saw a shooting star. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture it on my phone, but the surprise of looking up is unforgettable. I recommend bringing a camera if you want to take photos.
And above all, the thoughtful care and entertaining, educational talk from our guide, Yama-P, were also highlights of this tour! Even though we were all strangers, we became friends. I finished the tour with a warm feeling and would love to go again.
まず初めに。
機会があるなら迷わず行ってください!と言いたいです。
高山病にならないように徐々に慣らしながら連れて行ってもらえる上、途中でスーパーやお土産屋さんに立ち寄ってオススメを教えてくれます♡
雲の上のサンセットなんて、そうそう見れるものではなく、静寂に包まれてゆっくりとした時間が流れ、日常を忘れさせてくれるほど感動しました。
その後は満点の星空。
クッキリと星座が見れ、無数の星が空いっぱいに広がります。ラッキーなことに流れ星も見えましたよ。
残念ながら携帯では撮れなかったですが、見上げたときの驚きは忘れられないです。
写真を撮りたい方はカメラ持参をお勧めします。
そして何より、ガイドの山Pの細やかな気遣いと面白く勉強になるトーク!これもまたこのツアーの醍醐味ですよ!
知らない方ばかりですが、みーんな仲良くなれます。温かい気持ちでツアーを終えました。
何度でも行きたいです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. We started with an orientation and a coffee and donut break (included in the tour), which allowed for interaction among all the participants. Eating a little donut can help prevent altitude sickness. After that, we will stop by a supermarket to shop for dinner sushi bento, and I will introduce various items you may have forgotten to buy. You will also have the opportunity to shop for recommended items at local prices in Hawaii. Please join us for the rest of the tour. Haha! We look forward to your next visit to Maui.

There were plenty of times to rest, swim, and eat snacks. Our guide was attentive to our needs and provided other suggestions of what to check out/visit during our stay on the island. I highly recommend!

I felt at ease participating in the tour with a Japanese guide. Since we were climbing over 3000 meters, we took breaks along the way to prevent altitude sickness, and the timing of the breaks was perfect; I felt completely fine. Once we rose above the clouds, the rain that had been falling stopped (which is expected since we were above the clouds), and the view was absolutely breathtaking. While I was taking photos, the sunset began. The moment the sun set was indescribable. After watching the sunset, we enjoyed stargazing with explanations. Yamapi's explanations were a bit fast, and I sometimes couldn't catch everything, but I was captivated by the stories. The discussions weren't just about the stars; they also touched on global issues, the future of the Earth, and the reality that dangerous things are likely to happen, which was sobering. Hearing about his personal experiences and his parents brought tears to my eyes. I found myself crying again during the background music in the car on the way back. It felt like the rigid parts of me had melted away. This tour really makes you reflect on important things. Yamapi is a wonderful entertainer. I hope many people get to participate in this tour.
日本語ガイドという事で安心して参加出来ました。
標高3000m以上登るので高山病予防のため、途中休憩を挟み山頂まで上がりましたが、休憩が絶妙で、全く大丈夫でした。雲の上に上がると降っていた雨もあがり(雲の上だから当然?)視界全てが絶景で、撮影している間に夕陽が落ちてきました。太陽が沈む瞬間は何とも言えない気持ちでした。夕陽を見た後は説明付きの星空鑑賞。やまぴーさんの説明は早口でたまに聞き取れなかったけど話に聞き入ってしまいました。星空の事だけでなく、世界の事、地球のこれから、危険な事は起きていくだろうという話は現実的で身が引き締まる思いになりました。ご自身の体験談、親御さんの事など…話を聞いていたら涙が溢れてきました。帰りの車内のBGMにまた涙が出て号泣。自分の中の凝り固まった部分が溶けたような感じでした。大切な事を考えさせてくれるツアーです。やまぴーさんは素晴らしいエンターテイナーです。沢山の方がこのツアーに参加されるといいなぁと思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour. There is a stunning sunset viewpoint a little away from the summit of Haleakalā, and I guide everyone there. It's a quiet spot with no one around, allowing you to slowly enjoy the sunset. Strangely, when I come here, various memories from my past come to mind like a revolving lantern, and I feel enveloped by the vastness of the Earth and the magnificent scenery. It makes me think that it's okay to take a detour in life. Please come back to Maui again.

While on the way to Haleakalā, they share various information about Maui, so it's a good idea to join early once you arrive on the island. Depending on the day's temperature and crowd levels, they consider where to go outside, take you to beautiful photo spots, and help you capture many wonderful pictures.
You can enjoy delicious bento, warm tea, sit in a chair with a blanket while watching the starry sky, and hear touching stories. It was, as expected, the best experience.
Next time, I want to join around the new moon.

I was torn between choosing the sunset or the sunrise, and I decided on this tour with a Japanese guide. This was a great decision.
On the way to Haleakalā, we enjoyed various stories about Maui and were introduced to affordable and rare souvenirs, making the journey to the summit fly by without a dull moment.
Once we reached the summit, the seamless explanations continued, and we efficiently took photos in groups without missing the magic hour shutter opportunities.
During the stargazing, we were provided with chairs, gloves, blankets, and warm barley tea, which was greatly appreciated. It was amazing to clearly observe the lunar surface through a high-powered telescope!
Compared to a similar tour I participated in on the Big Island, the level of excitement was completely different. Listening to the guide, Mr. Yamauchi, share his heartfelt stories while gazing at the stars was a touching experience I hadn't had in a while. I hope this tour continues for as long as possible.

On this day, the moon was out, and I think the brightness of the moon somewhat diminished the stars. However, during the half-moon phase, the craters of the moon can be viewed at a distance that feels like you could land on them, which is another enjoyment. Please come again to see the sunset and starry sky at 3,000 meters. I look forward to our reunion.

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。
Thank you for joining the tour. One of the charms of Haleakalā is that it takes about an hour and a half to reach the summit from the base. There is a limit of 11 participants per day, five days a week, as set by the national park, so we recommend making your reservation early. The summit can be cold, so we have warm clothing, blankets, and hot tea available, so please feel free to join us with peace of mind. We look forward to seeing you again in Maui.

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!

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.

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.
三年前に訪れたのは日中 今回は家内が大好きな夜景と星空観察 綺麗でした。
カーナパリのホテルのピックアップは14時30分 日本の番組でもお馴染みヤマピーさんが直接ピックアップに来られ集合場所であるショップに寄る前にラハイナの街をドライブしながらショップの紹介やら見所を紹介していただいた。
集合場所のショップで南からのご家族と合流 6人でまずはスーパーへテイクアウトの寿司パックを購入 その他 お土産用のバーゲン品の瓶詰めスナックを購入しいよいよハレアカラの入山道へと車を走らせます
高山病予防のために3ヶ所のトイレストップを挟みながらどんどん車は進みます。
入山チェックのゲートを通過 どれ程の回数登っているか数えきれないほどの回数をこなしたヤマピーガイドが安全に車を走らせます 日の入り10分ほど前にこみあう山頂駐車場の一段した ツアー会社の面々が使う駐車場+サンセットポイントに車を停め夕日を眺めながらサンセットを待ちます やがて太陽がその姿を少しずつ下へと姿を消していきます 完全に陽が落ちたあとも淡いブルーの夜空が幻想的な色合いで広がる広大な姿を見せてくれます こんな広い空 日本じゃ絶対見られない ここでしか見れない広大さ 陽が落ちたあとはヤマピーさんの真骨頂 星空観察 学生時代天文部に在籍して数々の知識を身に付けたヤマピーさんがこれでもかと言うほど 天体観察説明をしてくれます 他のツアーではただ星空を眺めるだけできっと終わってしまうでしょう GPS天体望遠鏡で様々の星を眺め クレーターの高さまで見て取れる月面も観察して星空観察は終了 暖かいお茶 暖かい防寒着も準備してあり冷え冷えとした山頂でもゆっくり楽しむことが出来ました。
カアナパリのホテルに戻ったのは22時過ぎ ヤマピーさん 本当にお世話になりました マウイの夜を堪能出来ました。天候に左右されるサンセット+星空ツアー 今夜は恵まれました マウイへ来たら必須のツアーだと思います。堪能出来ました。
It's quite a niche tour! Laughing, you can observe a starry sky that you can't see in Japan while sitting in a chair and using the latest telescope, so you should encounter views you've never seen before. I'm humbled to receive so many compliments. I'm looking forward to seeing you again in Maui.
かなりマニアックなツァーです。笑 やはり日本では見られない星空を椅子に座って最新の望遠鏡で観察していくので、今まで見たことに無い景色に出会えるはずです。
お褒めの言葉を沢山頂いて恐縮です。またマウイでお目にかかれるのを楽しみにしております。

I was able to see a wonderful view from the summit of Haleakalā! It was a very precious experience with a starry sky like a planetarium! Thanks to our Japanese guide, I felt safe participating! They were very interesting and friendly, which made it even more enjoyable! Thank you!
ハレアカラの山頂から素晴らしい景色を見ることができました!プラネタリウムのような星空でとても貴重な体験でした!日本人ガイドさんのため、安心して参加できました!とても面白く気さくな方でより一層楽しめました!ありがとうございました!
I am indeed making thorough preparations to climb 3,000 meters. Eating at Krispy Kreme first helps activate blood flow, and since there can be a temperature difference of over 20 degrees, I am also being careful about keeping warm. I look forward to seeing you in Maui.
やはり3000メートルに登るために万全の準備をして上がっております。最初クリスピークリームで食事をとるのも、空腹で登るよりも血液の流れが活性化する事や寒暖の差が20度以上あったりするので、防寒にも気を付けております。またマウイでお目にかかれるのを楽しみにしております。

I returned to Maui to be enveloped by the unique scenery, the wind, and the light! Additionally, I wanted to meet our guide, Yamapi! The majestic Haleakalā and the starry sky felt even more powerful, warm, and radiant. Thanks to our guide, Yamapi, who continues to guide here in Maui while thinking of his family in Japan, I was able to have this invaluable experience and meet such a wonderful guide. I want to return to this island again and again!
ここにしかない景色に、風に、光に包まれたくて戻ってきましたマウイ島!加えて、ガイドのヤマピーさんに会うために!惚れ込んだハレアカラ山も、星空もより一層力強さと温かさと輝きを増して感じました。ガイドのヤマピーさんにおかれては、日本のご家族を想いながらも、こうしてマウイ島でガイドを続けて下さるからこそ、私はこうしてかけがえのない経験と素晴らしいガイドさんに出会うことが出来ました。何度でも、戻ってきたいこの島へ!
Thank you for your warm comments. I believe everyone comes to this island with various thoughts, but I would be happy if you could look up at the stars of Haleakalā, find peace in your heart, and return home with renewed hope. I look forward to our next reunion!
心が温かくなるコメントを有難うございます。皆さんが色々な想いを持ってこの島にいらっしゃると思いますが、ハレアカラの星空を見上げて
心安らぎまたの希望をもって帰国されたら嬉しいです。次の再会を楽しみにしております!

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)
Maui's summit takes about three and a half hours to reach, with an age restriction of 65 years and older, and those under 12 are not allowed. However, there may not be another mountain at an elevation of 3,000 meters that can be accessed by car without age restrictions, although there is a limit on the number of people. Please do come back to Maui again.
マウイケアーは頂上までやく3時間半かかり年齢制限が65歳以上、と12歳以下は入れないので、約1時間半で人数制限はありますが、年齢制限が無く車であがれる3000メートル系の山は他に無いかもしれませんね。是非またマウイにお越しになってください。

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。
I apologize for the inconvenience. I realize that just explaining the stars may not be enough, and I have so much to share that I tend to go on for too long.
ご迷惑をお掛け致しました。。星の説明だけだと物足りない事もあり伝えたいことがあり過ぎてついつい話が長くなってしまい申し訳ありません。

Since it was my first time on Maui, I wanted to join a tour and signed up. Just like many reviews said, it was truly the best tour! I was very moved by the sunset and starry sky seen from above the clouds. Our guide, Yamapi, was very kind, knowledgeable, and had an interesting way of talking, which made the journey enjoyable as well. This time, the weather at the summit was good, and I was very lucky to see a nene! I thought I might not have another chance to come to Maui, but this tour made me want to come back to see that scenery again no matter what! Thank you so much, Yamapi!
マウイ島に初めて来たので、何かツアーに参加したいと思い申し込みました。たくさんの口コミ通り本当に最高のツアーでした!雲の上から見る夕日と星空にはとても感動しました。ガイドのヤマピーさんもとても優しく、知識が豊富で話も面白いので道中も楽しかったです。また今回は山頂の天気も良く、ネネまで会えてとても運が良かったです!マウイ島にはもう来れる機会はないかなあと思っていましたが、また何としてもあの景色を見るためにマウイ島に来たいと思えるツアーでした!!ヤマピーさん本当にありがとうございました!!
Thank you for the wonderful comment. It was lucky to see the Nene, an endangered bird. It's rare to spot one even after climbing every day, so I'm glad you did. Please come back to Maui again. We look forward to seeing you!!
素晴らしいコメントを頂いて恐縮です。ネネと言う絶滅危惧種の鳥が見れたのはラッキーでしたね。毎日登っていても見れるのは稀な事なので良かったです。またマウイにいらしゃってくださいね。お待ちしております!!
