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。

Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I believe your feedback is very valid. I will inform our guide Yamauchi and we are currently exploring the best possible solutions. We look forward to the day we can meet again for a revenge tour.

Thank you for using VELTRA. We are very sorry that, despite your anticipation, you were unable to fully enjoy the starry sky due to the weather. On that day, due to rain and wind, we were unable to observe as we had hoped, and although we attempted to move to a location where stars could be seen, we received a report from the tour company that only a few stars were visible.

However, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the care and explanations provided by the guide during the tour, as well as the background music.

We will continue to work with the tour company to ensure we provide activities that meet your satisfaction. We hope you will consider using our services again in the future.

この度は楽しみにされていたにも関わらず、天候により星空を満喫できませんでしたこと、弊社としても残念でなりません。
当日は雨と風の影響により思うような観測ができず、星が観測できる場所まで移動を試みましたが、
最終的に星が数個しか見えなかったとのことのこと催行会社より報告を受けております。

しかしながらツアー中のガイドによる心遣いや説明、BGMなどのをお楽しみいただけたとのこと、大変うれしく存じます。

今後も催行会社とともに、常にご満足いただけるアクティビティの提供に努めてまいります。

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: しんちゃん

We participated as a family of four. I have experienced various OP tours at different tourist spots in the past, but I can't think of a tour that surpasses Mr. Yamauchi's guidance. Honestly, I did a bit of research beforehand, but it's easy to see why there are so many repeat customers! Participating during a turning point in life or when feeling lost would surely resonate deeply.

家族4人で参加しました。過去に色々な観光地でOPツアーを経験しましたが山内さんのガイドに優るツアーは思い当たりません。正直、事前に少しリサーチして挑んだのですがリピーターが多いのは頷けます!人生の転換期や彷徨った時などに参加すると心に沁みるでしょうね!

Haleakalā Sunset Stargazing Tour ハレアカラサンセット スターゲージング・ツアー

Reviewed by: マリアテレージア

The level of our guide, Yamauchi, was high, and we received the best guidance. It was a memorable tour. It was very cold, but the stars seen from the summit of Haleakalā were a once-in-a-lifetime 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。

Private Road to Hana Tours Maui - Waterfalls, Rainforests & Coastal Scenic Drive with Expert Guide

10/10

Reviewed by: Jake

This tour was so fun. We had a really nice driver that talked about the culture and history of Maui, and she even asked my wife and I questions about ourselves. She knew all the best places to stop & take pictures, eat banana bread, and what literally every plant was. She was truly and expert guide. At one point, she stopped at a waterfall for us to look at, and she said we could jump off of it and she'd take a video of us. And we did!! It was SO fun. Wow. I would do this again. Anyone who goes might want to bring a change of clothes/a towel in case you want to go for a swim!

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。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

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!

4-Hour Small-Group Maui Bottom Fishing Charter from Maalaea - Keep your catch!

Overpriced

Reviewed by: Elizabeth

I chose this excursion for my husband and older teenage son because they both LOVE fishing. The reviews were awesome and the description stated the excursion was 4.5 hours. Unfortunately this experience underdelivered. Opposite of other reviews, my boys didn’t catch a single thing. The other guests on the boat only caught small fish and not many of them. I understand that this is difficult to control; however this trip was rather expensive and it was described as if the captain and crew would know exactly where to go to find fish. Additionally, the excursion lasted barely 4 hours after take off. Although not discussed, I would also like to suggest that you take smaller crews and have an age limit...perhaps 13 and older and another experience for those under 13.

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 had wanted to go at least once, so I applied for a plan that included sightseeing, not just the ferry ticket, but it was a disappointing tour. My impression is that it wasn't worth the high price I paid to participate. Just seeing Lanai from Lahaina was enough.

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。

It was a private tour for just the two of us.
It was my first time on Lanai Island, and I was guided efficiently.
The only disappointing thing was my lack of English skills, but I felt like I understood about 30% and enjoyed myself.

On Lanai Island, you can feel the original Hawaiian landscape and the remnants of Japanese immigrants, which offers a charm that you won't find in Waikiki or Oahu. It's one of those places I want to visit again and again. The world of the three Ws—wind, waves, and birds—is primitive, simple, and filled with a charm that is almost a little scary.

Sunset viewing at the summit, stargazing tour 山頂夕日鑑賞,星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: みみこ@

This was my first time on Maui, and since my previous stargazing experience on Hawaii Island was very impressive, I decided to participate in this tour, which had received high ratings.

We barely made it in time for the sunset due to road conditions, but I was glad to capture the beautiful gradient of the sky in photos. The stargazing I was looking forward to was somewhat limited because the moon was bright, but I was able to see the craters of the moon through the telescope and take pictures, which was nice.

However, I found it a bit uncomfortable that the seating arrangement in the car remained the same throughout the trip. Those sitting in spacious areas could relax comfortably, while those in tighter spots had to place their bags on their laps and were in close contact with the person next to them, making it hard to relax. I wish there could have been a seat change for the outbound and return trips or that a slightly larger vehicle could have been used to accommodate luggage better.

初めてのマウイ島であり,以前のハワイ島での星空観測がとても印象的であったこと,ツアー自体の評価がとても高かったことから参加させていただきました.
夕日鑑賞は道路状況上,ぎりぎり間に合った感じではありましたが,きれいな空のグラデーションを写真に収めることができて,良かったです.
楽しみにしていた星空は,月齢の関係上,とても空が明るかったので星はやや少なめでしたが,その分月のクレーターを望遠鏡で見たり,写真にとることができてよかったです.

ただ,車の席がずっと同じ場所で,広いところに座っている人は車内でゆっくりくつろげ,狭いところに座っていた人は,荷物を自分の膝の上にのせながら,隣の人にがつがつと接触してとてもくつろげるような感じではありませんでした.
出来れば,行きと帰りで席替えをしたり,荷物を置けるようなもう少し大きな車を使用したりすることができなかったのかな,と残念に思いました.

We took a half-day trip from Maui to Lanai on November 12, with a guided tour of Lanai. It was a fabulous, educational experience and the highlight of our 11-day trip to Maui. Our guide, Bruce, was exceptionally knowledgeable on the island's history. He made the trip so enjoyable and, with the small number of people on each tour, it was very interactive. The online booking process was so easy. We were able to pick the exact date we needed to fit in with our vacation plans. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Oceanfront Trail Horseback Riding Tour at Maui Mountain Activities Ranch

Made my trip!

Reviewed by: Alexandria

Horseback riding the West Maui Mountains made my trip! Absolutely, hands down, one of the best horseback riding tours I have ever been on. The guides take you to places you would never be able to walk or drive to otherwise. They do a great job matching you with a horse based on your skill level. The ride was rather long - 2 hours - 2.5 hours. It's definitely worth the money! It's very rare to be able to ride that long, canter, and gallop on a public horseback riding trail ride. The views are astonishing. We flew to Maui from Oahu specifically to horseback ride for my 33rd birthday. I am an experienced rider, who has owned a Thoroughbred mare, and competed Equestrian riding for over a decade. This excursion made my entire trip. Hands down the most amazing experience I have ever had on any excursion at any destination!

Makani Olu Ranch Trail Rides - Central Maui Horseback Riding Tour

Great way to see the counrtyside in central maui. Different view from the beach. The property is beautiful and we were able to pick oranges, grapefruits and star fruits on our way out of the ranch.

Nice ride threw the country, saw different types of cattle ( black angus and big horns, fields with baby cows too) and iron wood trees
The guide was extremely knowledgeable in horsemanship and we learned many things from him.

Crossed over a creek threw many cattle fields and circled the edge of the mountain range.
The ranch was beautiful filled with orange and grapefruit trees, starfruit trees and the guide welcomed us to fill a bag and take it home.
Fresh is best and yumm!

Horses were well mannered and cared for, the tack was comphy too!

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

It was cold, but it was good. 寒かったけど良かった

Reviewed by: kensan

The schedule was good, and I didn't suffer from altitude sickness, even as an older person whose body responds more slowly. The sunset and starry sky were also beautiful. As for my thoughts outside of the main topic, I first stopped by a donut shop, but it's a place that's become boring even in Japan. Personally, I found it unremarkable. The souvenir shops I visited along the way were nice.

体の対応が鈍くなる老人にも高山病にもならず、スケジュールが良かったです。夕陽、星空も良く見えました。本題以外での感想です。最初にドーナツ店に入りましたが、日本でも飽きられた店です。私的には???。その他の途中に寄った土産店等は良かったです。

Thank you for participating in the star tour. There is one reason we stop by the donut shop: it's to prevent altitude sickness. If you ascend to 3,055 meters on an empty stomach, the thin air and different atmospheric pressure compared to sea level can make you feel unwell. Eating something beforehand tends to help prevent this. Taking breaks several times on the way to the summit also helps in preventing altitude sickness.

星ツァーご参加有難うございます。ドーナッツ店に立ち寄る理由が一つありまして、高山病予防なのです。空腹で3055メートルに登ってしまうと酸素が薄いのと気圧が平地と違いますので少しでも何か食べておきますと、体調が悪くなりずらい傾向があります。山頂まで数回、休憩を挟むのも高山病予防になのです。

On the night of the waxing crescent moon, the moonlight had little effect, allowing us to fully enjoy the starry sky. The views of *** and *** through the GPS-tracking telescope were particularly impressive. I am a Sagittarius, but thanks to Yamapi's careful guidance, I was able to see them for the first time. I would like to participate again when I visit Maui.

上弦の月の日で月明かりもほとんど影響なく星空を堪能することができました。特にGPS追尾機能の望遠鏡で見た***と***が印象深いです。自分はいて座ですが、ヤマピーさんの丁寧なガイドで初めて目視する事ができました。
また、マウイを訪れたときは参加したいと思います。

I participated in this tour during my first trip to Maui. The day of the tour had perfect conditions with a new moon, no wind, and a completely clear sky. Additionally, our guide, Yamapi, was wonderful, and his stories while we gazed at the stars were inspiring and made me feel motivated to keep going. If I come back to Maui, I would love to join this tour again.

初めてのマウイ島旅行でこのツアーに参加。参加日は新月かつ無風で雲ひとつないと言う絶好のコンディションでした。また、ガイドのヤマピーさんの案内も素晴らしく、星空を見ながらのお話は、また頑張ろう、と思える内容でした。

For my daughter. 娘のために

Reviewed by: Tokokita

Eight years ago, I traveled with my wife and participated in this stargazing tour, which left a strong impression on me. This time, my daughter wanted to see it, so she joined us after traveling from Oahu. She was thrilled by the sunset above the clouds. However, it was unfortunate that the brightness of the moon due to its phase was too strong, and we couldn't see the truly beautiful starry sky. Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was excellent.

8年前に家内と旅行し この星空ツアーに参加し 非常に感激したのを覚えており 娘に見せたいとの事で 今回同行してくれる娘をオアフから移動しての参加 雲の上の夕焼けに娘は感激
ただ 月齢による月の明かりが明るすぎて 本当にきれいな星空を見せられなかったのは 残念

My friend Mike and I went for a 10 am 2 hour plantation ride today. The sun was shining but there was a great breeze blowing for the most part. Our guide and teacher was very thorough with us newbies and explained everything perfectly. I can not remember his name but he was originally from Wyoming. Go for it

Reviewed by: Ahmad Ok

The bus was quite comfortable, but the trip was not much fun, We didn't get to stop in some spots where it seemed interesting, and we were always in a rush when exploring the stops because we need to get back on the bus.

Word of advice, If you don't mind driving in a narrow street then go on your own and enjoy the road to Hana on your own pace

I was able to see Jupiter and Saturn too! 木星、土星もみれました!

Reviewed by: 母娘2人旅

This time, my daughter and I signed up for this highly rated tour as it was our first time on Maui. At Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, we enjoyed freshly made, warm, delicious doughnuts. We decided not to take motion sickness medication since we would be taking breaks on the way to the summit, but my daughter, who is prone to motion sickness, felt a bit nauseous, so I thought it would have been better to take the medicine just in case. Although there were many clouds and we couldn't see the sunset, the colors of the clouds and sky were very beautiful. During the stargazing, we were able to see many stars through a large telescope, including the rings of Saturn and the bands of Jupiter. Later, while listening to our guide's wonderful stories, I had to interrupt to go to the restroom, but I was glad there was a restroom at the summit. I think it's reassuring for those who need to be close to a restroom. This was the best tour I've ever been on, with everything provided, including jackets, tea, and chairs. We also visited the steak and dim sum places that we were recommended, and they were very delicious.

今回娘と2人で、初マウイ島ということで、評価も高いこのツアーに申し込みました。
クリスピークリームドーナツでは、出来立てのホカホカの美味しいドーナツをいだきました。
山頂まで、休み休み行くということで酔い止めは飲まずにいきましたが、酔いやすい娘はちょっとよってしまったので、念のため薬を飲んで行けばよかったと思いました。
雲が多く、夕陽は見れませんでしたが、雲や空の色はとてもきれいでした。
星空観測では、大きな天体望遠鏡で、たくさんの星をみることができ、土星の輪や、木星の線までしっかり見えました。
その後、ガイドさんのとてもいいお話を伺っている途中、トイレに行きたくなり話の腰を折ってしまいましたが、山頂にもトイレがあって良かったです。トイレが近い方にも安心だと思います。
上着やお茶、椅子等、至れり尽くせりの今までで一番のとてもよいツアーでした。
また、教えてもらったステーキやヤムチャのお店も行きました。とても美味しかったです。

Haleakalā National Park has restrooms available even at 3,000 meters. Of course, there are also facilities at the 21,000-meter national park office, making it a mountain where you can climb with peace of mind, even if you need to use the restroom frequently. I was glad to hear that you were going to Honolulu the day after the tour, and I was happy to recommend a delicious dim sum restaurant, ensuring your satisfaction.

ハレアカラ国立公園は3000メートルでも水洗トイレが完備されております。もちろん21000メートルの国立公園事務所にもあり、おトイレの近い方にも安心して登れる山です。ツァーあと翌日にホノルルに行かれることをお聞きし、美味しい飲茶のお店もご紹介致しまして、満足して頂き良かったです。

It was a tour where I could feel the thoughtful care in every detail. They gradually increased the altitude while allowing us to rest, so everyone in the group was energetic. It was great to receive warm clothing, gloves, and hot tea.

The sunset felt like it was sinking into the clouds, but the beauty of the starry sky afterward was beyond words! The tour seems to be fully booked continuously, so if you’re not careful, you might miss out. The price is slightly higher than the English tours, but it’s definitely worth it.

日本語で細やかな心遣いが感じられるツアーでした。少しずつ高度を上げて休みながら山頂まで行ってくださるので、参加メンバー全員元気でした。防寒着や手袋、暖かいお茶まで戴けて良かったです。
サンセットは雲に沈む感じでしたが、その後の星空の素晴らしかったことは筆舌に尽くしがたい❗モノでした。ツアーは満席続きらしくのんびりしていたら、取れなかったです。英語ツアーよりも多少価格は高くなりますが、絶対お得です

We are the only company managed by Japanese people. There is a regulation from Haleakalā National Park for one trip with a maximum of 11 people, so I recommend making a reservation as early as possible. We hope you will definitely visit Maui.

日本人経営の会社は当社だけになります。週5日ワントリップ11名の規定がハレアカラ国立公園から定められておりますので、なるべく早めの予約をして頂くと宜しいかと思います。また是非マウイ島にいらしゃってくださいませ。
