Maui
Awesome tour, great value and the only one that does the full trip not just out and back. Good to have a guide that lived in the area and knew just about everything about everything.
At sea level (below 1 meter), the temperature is 28 degrees. The tour bus picked us up right in front of the hotel lobby. Mr. Yamap greeted us with a smile. From there, all participants gathered at the donut shop. We set off towards the summit of Haleakalā. We stopped at a market along the way to buy sushi and were given tips on Maui souvenirs, and then we headed to the summit! To reach a place over 3000 meters, we took our time ascending with breaks along the way (by car). To get above the clouds, we had to pass through them. In the thick clouds where we couldn't see ahead... I wondered if we would even be able to see anything at the summit. I was filled with anxiety as we climbed. However, Mr. Yamap played music and chatted, seemingly unconcerned about the weather at the summit. Perhaps to match the age of the participants? I’m not sure, but he played songs from the '80s... They were right in our strike zone, so we enjoyed the ride. And finally... the summit! There were no clouds, and nothing obstructed our view. As dusk fell, we could beautifully observe the rare shadow of the Earth, and since it was a new moon that day, while we ate our bento in the car, it seemed Mr. Yamap was preparing telescopes and other equipment. After dinner, when we got out of the car... we were instructed not to look up until we were outside. Since the car lights were on while we ate, it seemed that looking up immediately wouldn’t allow us to see the stars clearly. Once we adjusted our eyes, the starry sky was incredibly moving...! Seriously, it was amazing. Everyone should go. I don't want to promote it too much. It's a sight rarely seen. The number of stars you might only see once in a lifetime. It makes you feel how tiny Earth is... When I saw this starry sky, all my past failures and struggles seemed insignificant...
Lastly... it is really cold at the summit. They can lend you down jackets or blankets, but if you're sensitive to the cold, it's better to bring inner layers or disposable hand warmers even when going to Hawaii. They also serve warm tea.
下界（海抜１ｍ未満）では気温28度。ツアーバスがホテルロビー前までお迎え。山Pさんがニコニコお迎えに来てくれました。そこから、ドーナツ屋さん参加者全員集合。ハレアカラ山頂に向かって出発。途中のマーケットでお寿司などを買い込んで（マウイのお土産とかも教えてもらって）、いざ山頂へ！3000mを超える場所へ向かうには、途中の休憩を入れながらゆっくり上っていきます（車で・・）。雲の上に出るためには・・雲の中を通過しなければなりません。前方も見えないような雲の中で・・・もしかしたら山頂に行っても見えないんじゃないのかな？不安感満載で登っていくのです。しかし、山Pさんは音楽を流しながら、いろいろお話を入れて、山頂の天気のことは特に気にもせず、運転していました。参加者の年齢に合わせたのか？わかりませんが80年代の曲が・・・・。われわれのストライクゾーンの曲だったので楽しく向かいました。そしてついに・・・山頂！そこは雲もなく、目の前を遮るものはありません。夕暮れになり・・めったに見れない地球の影もきれいに観察できましたし、当日は新月で、お弁当を車内で食べている間に山Pさんは望遠鏡などの準備をしていたようです。夕食が終わって、車内から出るときに・・・下を向いて上を見ないようにとの指示。車内は車内灯をつけてお弁当を食べていたので、すぐ上を向いても星がきれいに見えないらしいです。あとは目を慣れさせて見るとすごく感動的な星空が・・・！まじ、やばいです。皆さん行ってください。あまり紹介したくないですね。めったに見れない。一生に見れるかどうかの星の数。地球なんてなんてちっぽけな・・・・・と感じます。
今までの失敗や苦労などはこの星空を見たら・・・。以上
最後に・・・山頂はマジで寒いです。ダウンとか毛布とか貸していただけますが、寒がりの人はハワイに行くのに、インナーとか使い捨てカイロとかあったほうがいいです。暖かいお茶も出してくれます。

The guide, Mr. Yamapi, was truly a wonderful person full of love. He was talkative and had a wealth of knowledge, which made my heart warm while listening to him. As part of the tour plan, we enjoyed Krispy Kreme donuts and coffee, and we also stopped by a supermarket where I could choose my favorite sushi for dinner. The stargazing experience included a romantic touch, making it an unforgettable tour with high added value. I highly recommend this tour as the number one choice for anyone visiting Maui.
ガイドの山ピーさんがとにかく愛に溢れた方で素晴らしい。お話好きで知識量も多く、話をしていて、また話を聞いていて心が温かくなった。ツアーのプランに含まれているとのことで、クリスピードーナツとコーヒーをいただいたり、スーパーに寄って自分の好きな寿司（夕食）を選ばせていただいたり。星空観測ではロマンチックな演出もあり、付加価値の高い忘れられないツアーとなった。マウイ島に行かれる方には是非おすすめしたいツアーNO.1。

The sunset from Haleakalā Mountain and the star-filled night sky were absolutely amazing. The guide's explanations were very detailed, and the places we stopped by on the way were also ones I wanted to visit, so I was very satisfied.
ハレアカラ山からのサンセット、夜空いっぱいの星はもちろん最高でしたし、ガイドの方の説明もとても詳しく、また行くまでに寄ってくださるところも、行ってみたいところだったので大満足です。

Everything was great. The instructors made it fun by their sense of humor, but you could tell that they also always had safety in mind. Felt safe at all times.
I was afraid that we would be hiking up a huge mountain or something because the description states you will do a lot of walking, however they take you up the mountain in a van. The only walking that you do is front platform to platform, which isn't much. So we were glad for that.
The views from the ziplines of the ocean were amazing. Would recommend for all.
The view from the summit was amazing, but above all, Mr. Yamapi's guidance was the best. It was our honeymoon, and we were able to see the most beautiful starry sky while listening to his wonderful stories, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We will definitely go again, so please continue this tour! Thank you!
山頂での景色はもちろん、なにより山Pさんのガイドが最高でした。
新婚旅行でしたが、素敵なお話のなかで最高のほしぞらをみられて、一生の思い出になりました。また絶対に行くので、このツアーはずっと続けていってください！お願いします！

As forecasted, it was cloudy and very windy. Since light rain was also expected, I requested a schedule change if possible, but I received no response as the tour was confirmed to proceed on the day.
We headed towards the mountain while gradually acclimatizing to the high altitude, and we received some great souvenir information along the way. However, when we reached the gate, it was past 5 PM, and since there were no staff present, each driver had to process the entrance fee (toll) with a credit card, which caused a traffic jam.
In the end, we couldn't see the sunset, and the viewpoint of the crater was dark, so we missed the scenery of Haleakalā, which was disappointing. If we had known about this traffic situation in advance, we might have planned to pass through the gate before 5 PM. Especially since it was clear even to amateurs that the starry sky wouldn't be visible that day, seeing the crater while it was still light would have provided a different kind of excitement.
The guide's personality was impeccable, and their stories were captivating. However, despite the implication that we would be able to see the sunset, there was no mention of it at all...??
天気予報どおり、くもり、風強しでした。
小雨も予想されたので、できることなら日程変更をお願いしたのですが、
当日は催行とのことでお返事はありませんでした。
ゆっくり高地にならしながらいきますとのことで、お得なお土産情報もいただきながら、山に向かいました。
ゲートのところで、5時を過ぎていたので、係員不在の時は、各車のドライバーが、クレカで入山料（通行料）の手続きをしなければならず、渋滞となっていました。
結局、日没も見れず、火口の展望台も暗くなって見れず、でハレアカラの風景は見れずじまいだったのが残念でした。
もしこの渋滞事情が事前にわかっているのなら、五時までにゲートを通過する計画もあったのでは、と思います。
特に、その日は星空も期待できないのは素人でもわかっておりましたので、明るいうちに火口でも見れたら、また違った感動があったと思います。
ガイドさんのお人柄は申し分ありませんし、お話も魅力的でした。
ただ、日没は見れるような口ぶりだったのに、そのことについては何も触れられず・・？？でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with a satisfactory experience on the day of the tour.
Upon checking with the local operating company, we did not receive any reports of stars being obscured. However, if you were unable to see any stars at all, they mentioned that they would provide guidance for your next participation. We deeply regret that you could not enjoy the scenery you were looking forward to, and we share your disappointment.
Additionally, due to stricter entry regulations that have been in place since last year, the popularity of the tour has increased, making it difficult to reschedule to another date on short notice. We also apologize for not being able to respond to your email in a timely manner.
Furthermore, the summit of Haleakalā is at an elevation of 3,000 meters, which is almost the same as Mount Fuji. The weather can change rapidly due to strong winds, and sudden rain can occur. Even experienced guides with nearly 20 years of experience find it challenging to predict the weather on the day. However, we sincerely apologize for the unexpected traffic congestion that occurred that day, which prevented us from providing a satisfactory experience.
Moving forward, we will work closely with the operating company and clearly outline important points on our page to ensure that there is no discrepancy between expectations and the actual content of the tour. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
当日はご満足いただけるご案内ができませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
現地催行会社に当日の状況を確認しましたところ、星が見えないという報告は受けなかったそうですが、
星が全く見れなかった場合には、次回のご参加のためのご案内を差し上げているとのことです。
ご期待されていた景色をお楽しみいただけませんでしたこと、弊社としても心苦しく、大変残念に感じております。
また、昨年より入場規制が厳しくなったことで人気がさらに高まり直近での別日振替が困難なツアーでありますこと、
メールのご返信が間に合いませんでしたこと、重ねてお詫びいたします。
なお、ハレアカラ山山頂は標高3000mと、富士山とほぼ変わらぬ高山となり、強風による天候の変化が激しく
急な雨はもちろん、曇りが一瞬にして快晴に変わったりと、20年近いベテランガイドでも当日の天候を予測することは残念ながら困難とのことです。
しかしながら重ねて、通常は発生しない急な渋滞が当日は起きてしまい、ご満足な内容を提供することができず、誠に申し訳ございませんでした。
今後はさらに催行会社と密に連携をとり、ページ上でもご注意点などを明記し、ご期待と実際の内容に差異が生じないよう改善に取り組んで参ります。
貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

The ride up is pretty quick with a nice hike to a beautiful small waterfall. A prefect amount of time to take in the scenery before heading to our next stop. There again the prefect amount of time at the waterfall and an easy hike to and from.
There aren't many places to walk, so you can bring elderly people along. On the way up the mountain, we enjoyed a fun car ride where we were introduced to inexpensive souvenirs at a local supermarket and heard local stories about Maui. The sunset from the summit was a breathtaking view from another world. It was wonderful. The stargazing included easy-to-understand explanations using a telescope and a laser pointer. Unfortunately, we were affected by the moonlight, but it seems that if it were a new moon, the starry sky would be amazing. I'm really glad I brought my mother and children along.
歩く所はあまり無いので、年寄りを連れて行けます。山に登る途中に、地元のスーパーマーケットで安いお土産を紹介してもらったり、マウイの地元の話が聞けて楽しい車中でした。山頂からの日没は、別世界の風景でした。素晴らしいです。星空観察は、望遠鏡やレーザーポインターを使った分かりやすい説明でした。生憎月明かりの影響を受けましたが、新月だったら、すごい星空だそうです。母と子供を連れてきて、本当に良かった。

I participated during the waxing crescent moon in December. The starry sky was beautiful, and the explanations were interesting. There were high-performance telescopes that allowed us to see things that are hard to see with the naked eye, making it a great experience. I wish I could have seen the starry sky during the new moon. The sunset was viewed from halfway up the summit of Haleakalā. The scenery was breathtaking. During my visit, there was no option for Grigori Ice, only Krispy Kreme donuts.
12月の上弦の月の時期に参加しました。星空は綺麗で解説も面白かったです。望遠鏡も高性能のものがあって中々肉眼では見れないものが見れ、いい経験でした。願わくば、新月の時の星空を見たかったです。サンセットはハレアカラの山頂途中から眺める感じでした。景色は絶景です。私の時はグリグリアイスのオプションはなく、クリスピークリームのドーナッツでした。

Our driver was not only hilarious, but very knowledgeable. It was a great group on our bus, and was a blast. Good day spent, with some amazing photo opportunities.
I participated on November 19, 2017. Fortunately, there were only four of us: my husband and I, plus an older couple, along with our guide Yamapi's wife as an assistant, allowing for a more intimate experience. After being picked up at the hotel, we drove through the town of Lahaina, hearing about the delicious and not-so-good restaurants there. We made a stop at Krispy Kreme for a break and enjoyed some freshly made donuts.
After that, we bought sushi bento at a supermarket (both the donuts and the bento were included in the tour price), and we headed to our destination. At the Kula Lodge, we purchased souvenirs that can only be found there (though I wondered if they might also be sold at the airport or in Waikiki, the items we bought seemed truly unique). Along the way, we saw a volcanic crater and gradually acclimated to the altitude before reaching the summit.
The initial location we aimed for was very crowded, so we parked in a less populated area, watched the sunset, and after eating the bento we purchased in the car, we enjoyed stargazing. That night, there was almost no moonlight, resulting in a perfect starry sky! Even I, who usually have no interest in stars, was moved. Under the starry sky, I also heard about Yamapi's background. He has faced many struggles to get to where he is now, and since I came on this trip while dealing with significant stress at work, I secretly cried while listening to his story in the dark.
Five years ago, when I went to Mauna Kea on the Big Island, I struggled with the thin air, but this time, I had no issues at all. My first visit to Maui was amazing!!! It might be difficult to return, but I would love to participate again somehow. For those considering this tour, please prepare for the cold!
*By the way, although this tour does not stop there, I highly recommend Ruth's Chris Steak House in Lahaina! Our guide Yamapi also recommended it (there are several locations in Waikiki). Personally, I think it's better than Wolfgang Puck's.
2017/11/19に参加しました。
ラッキーなことに客は私達夫婦＋年配のご夫婦の計4人、それにガイドのヤマピーさんの奥様がアシスタントで参加されて少人数で回ることができました。
ホテルでピックアップ後、ラハイナの街を車で通り、ラハイナのおいしいお店・まずいお店をお聞きしながら、休憩兼ねてクリスピークリームドーナツに立ち寄り、出来立てのおいしいドーナツをいただきました。
その後スーパーでお寿司のお弁当を購入し（ドーナツもお弁当もツアー代に含みます）、いよいよ目的地へ向かいます。
クラロッジでは、そこでしか買えないお土産を購入（実は空港やワイキキでも売ってたりして？と思ったけど私たちが買った物は本当にどこにもなさそうでした）、途中火口を見たり少しずつ高所に体を慣らしながら山頂に到着です。
当初向かった場所は大混雑だったため、人の少ない場所に車を止めて、サンセットを見て、車内で購入したお弁当を食べた後、星空観賞です。
その日は月明かりがほとんど無い日だったので、まさに満点の星空！
普段星になんか興味が無い私でも感動しました。
星空の下、ヤマピーさんの今までの経歴なんかもお聞かせいただきました。
とても苦労されて今がある方で、私も仕事で大きなストレスを抱えつつ今回の旅行に来たこともあり、真っ暗闇なのを良いことにこっそり泣きながら話に聞き入っていました。
5年前、ハワイ島のマウナケアに行った時は空気の薄さにヘロヘロでしたが、そんな私でも今回のツアーは全然平気でした。
初のマウイ島、最高でした！！！再訪するのは難しいですが、何とかもう一度参加したいです。
このツアーを検討中の方、防寒準備して行ってください！
※ちなみにこのツアーで立ち寄ることはありませんが、ラハイナのルースズクリスステーキは超オススメです！ガイドのヤマピーさんもオススメしてました（ワイキキにも何店舗かあります）。
個人的にはウルフギャングよりもおいしいと思います。

I was really glad to meet our guide, Yama P. We had a wonderful time discussing not only Maui and Haleakalā but also various memorable topics that touched the heart. I was drawn in by Yama P's background and the inner conflicts he shared, which made me feel a strong sense of connection. Of course, the beautiful sunset and the breathtaking starry sky were also amazing. Weather can be a matter of luck, but I was fortunate to have clear skies and stunning views during my visit.
ガイドの山Pさんに会えて本当に良かったです。マウイのこと、ハレアカラのこと、天体のことだけでなく、心に残るいろいろなことを話していただき、すばらしい時間を過ごせました。
山Pさんの経歴やご自身の中にある心の葛藤などにも引き込まれ、非常に親近感がわきます。
もちろん美しいサンセットと感動の星空も最高でした。
天候ばかりは運になってしまいますが、私のときは快晴でとても綺麗に景色が見えて非常にラッキーでした。

Our group consisted of four people: my spouse and I, along with another young couple, and the guide's wife participated as an assistant. The guide, likely with a wealth of experience, had everything meticulously planned and prepared, allowing us to enjoy a safe and pleasant time. We climbed to the summit at around 3,000 meters in about an hour and a half, making stops at souvenir shops and a supermarket to choose sushi bento for dinner (included in the price) to gradually acclimatize to the altitude.
On the day of the tour, we encountered light rain on the mountainside, but with the guide's skillful driving and cheerful explanations, we reached the summit, where we found a blue sky above the clouds. We avoided crowded tourist spots and enjoyed the sunset from a quieter location, savoring sushi bento along with warm Japanese tea. Afterward, we took turns looking through telescopes while the guide explained various stars and constellations.
Two years ago, we participated in a sunset tour at Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii, where the summit is at 4,000 meters and the air was quite thin, making it difficult to breathe. In comparison, Haleakalā was much more comfortable. Additionally, there is a discount for seniors, making this tour highly recommended for older travelers.
うちの夫婦と、もう1組の若いご夫婦の計４人の客に、ガイドの奥様がアシスタントで参加されました。ガイドさんはおそらく多くの経験を積まれているのでしょう、非常に周到に計画され準備されていて、安心して楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。3000メートル級の山頂まで１時間半ほどで登っていきますが、高度に徐々に慣れるように、土産物店に寄ったりスーパーで夕食の寿司弁当（料金に含まれています）選びに立ち寄ったりします。
当日は途中の山腹で弱雨にあいましたが、霧の中を巧みな運転で不安なく、軽快な口調の説明を聞きつつ登った山頂は、雲の上の青空でした。多くの観光客がいる場所を避けて、人が少ない場所からゆっくりとサンセットを楽しみ、暖かい日本茶のサービスとともに寿司弁当をいただいたのち、交替で望遠鏡をのぞきながら多くの星や星座を解説してもらいました。
私たちは2年前にハワイ島のマウナケアのサンセットにも参加し、マウナケアは4000メートル級で山頂の空気が薄くでかなり息苦しかったのですが、それに比べればハレアカラははるかに快適でした。また熟年者には割引料金のサービスもあり、高齢者に優しいツアーとしておすすめします。

Others have praised it in their reviews, and I think that's true. It's a shame that my child was too small and fell asleep. We'll participate again when they are older.

もっと大きくなったらまた参加します＾＾

For our honeymoon, we wanted to try the Haleakalā summit tour on Maui. We debated between the sunset + stargazing or sunrise, but since we wanted to get a good night's sleep and had a feeling that the sunset would be more beautiful, we chose that option.
The group size was just right, allowing us to see everyone's faces, and our guide was great at sharing stories, making the time pass without diminishing the excitement of the participants. It was also nice to receive recommendations on what to buy at the supermarkets and souvenir shops along the way.
The sunset was stunning, although I felt like the sun set a bit earlier than expected. Still, it was thoroughly enjoyable. However, the true highlight of the tour came afterward. In complete silence, when I looked up at the pitch-black sky for the first time, the awe I felt was indescribable. Surrounded by stars, we observed them through a telescope while receiving explanations about various constellations. It was quite cold at the summit, but they provided warm clothing, and I was so moved that I forgot about the chill, and time flew by.
I am grateful to our guide for their excellent storytelling and to have been blessed with good weather (it seems the participants from the previous day had a tough time due to poor weather).
On the way down from the summit, I fell asleep feeling a sense of satisfaction and emotion, wrapped in a relaxed mindset that life is too short to rush.
I think it would be wonderful to bring our parents next time. This was one of the few optional tours that left us very satisfied, and I highly recommend it for honeymoons (though it might be a bit tough with small children).
今回新婚旅行でマウイ島に行くにあたり、やってみたかったのがハレアカラ山頂ツアーでした。
サンセット+星空かサンライズで迷いましたが、夜はちゃんと寝たいし、なんとなくですがサンセットの方がきれいそうだなというくらいの気持ちで選びました。
参加人数も多すぎず、全体の顔も見渡せますしガイドさんのお話も上手で、車内でも参加者の楽しみな気持ちを減衰させることなく時間が過ぎていきました。
ところどころでよるスーパーやお土産屋さんでもどういったものがオススメかなど説明してもらえたのも良かったです。
サンセットもとてもきれいでしたが、少し日が落ちるのが早かったのかな？という印象ではありましたが十分堪能できました。
これだけでも比較的満足度は高かったのですが、このツアーの本領はこの後でした。
あたりは一切物音もしなくなり、完全に静まり返った中で初めて真っ暗闇の中空を見上げた時の感動は言葉では言い表すのが難しいほどのものでした。
あたり一面に広がる星に包まれ、いろんな星の説明を受けながら天体望遠鏡でその星を観察する。山頂はだいぶ寒かったですが、防寒具なども準備していただき、感動でそもそも寒さを忘れるほどであっという間に時間が過ぎていました。
終始上手にお話ししていだけたガイドさんへの感謝と、本当に天候にも恵まれ(前日参加の方々は天候に恵まれずつらいツアーとなったようです)た偶然に感謝感謝です。
山頂から降りる車の中は満足感と感動と、生き急いでも仕方ないよなというおおらかな気持ちに包まれながら寝てしまいました。
次は両家の両親を連れて行ってあげられたらすてきだなと思える、数少ないオプショナルツアーで非常に満足のいくものとなりました、新婚旅行などにオススメだと思います(小さい子連れだと少ししんどいかもしれません)。

It was truly a wonderful starry sky. I thought it would be cloudy on the day I participated, but above the clouds, it was clear, and I could see the Milky Way and shooting stars clearly. The Earth shadow appeared after sunset, and seeing the shadow of the Earth felt like a cleansing experience for my heart. While watching the stars and listening to the guide's stories, I was moved to tears. I heard it would be cold, so I layered up with sweatshirts and down jackets, which kept me warm enough to enjoy the night sky. Before heading to the mountains, we stopped by a supermarket and a souvenir shop, and the supermarket had good prices!
本当に本当に素敵な星空でした。参加した日はあいにくの曇りと思っていましたが、雲の上は晴れていて天の川も流れ星もくっきり見えました。
日が沈んだ後に現れるアースシャードー、地球の影も見え心が洗わられるような気持ちでした。ガイドの方のお話を聞きながら星を見ていると、涙が出ました。寒いと聞き、スエットやダウンを重ね着したので寒さも感じず、夜空を楽しむことが出来ました。山に行く前にはスーパーやお土産屋さんにもよるので、スーパーは値段も安くて良かったです！

Haleakalā had bad weather, so we couldn't see the sunset. However, I thought it was impressive how the guide skillfully found a spot for stargazing by slightly changing locations. The tour progressed smoothly, and I felt the guide was very capable. I'll try again next time for a revenge trip.
ハレアカラは天気が悪くサンセットは見れませんでした。
しかし、微妙に場所を変えて星空観測する場所を臨機応変に見つけるあたりプロだなと思いました。ツアーの進行もストレスなく力量のあるガイドさんだなと感じました。

The area is so beautiful it would be hard to mess up! Lots of stops at lovely places.
The employees really made the difference here, very engaging. Area was beautiful, cool to see the desert areas close up!
Our tour guide Travis totally made this day and excursion memorable. It was a long day but was filled with history, phenomenal sites and entertainment provided by our guide. One of the best excursions on the island by far!
My husband and I participated together. The stars were beautiful. Yamapi's guidance was also excellent.
We arrived in Maui at 12:00. After picking up our luggage, it took 40 minutes by taxi to the hotel. Although our pickup was at 3:00 after check-in, we climbed Haleakalā on the first day, so I felt like we quickly got accustomed to Maui. It was wonderful from the very first day.
主人と二人で参加しました。星が綺麗でした。ヤマピーさんのガイドも最高でした。

I previously participated in the stargazing and sunrise tour, and it was amazing, so I wanted to relive that experience by joining the sunset and stargazing tour. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the sunset was a bit disappointing because of the clouds, and I thought the stargazing would be beautiful since it was close to a new moon, but we ended up seeing it at a lower elevation where the clouds were present, which was half of what we could have seen in the national park. After experiencing a sky full of stars once, I felt a bit let down. However, the guide's stories and explanations about the stars were very detailed and enjoyable, and their attentiveness was remarkable, so I plan to participate again. The stop at the donut shop and shopping at the club were also very nice. Additionally, even though I met the other participants for the first time, it was a fun tour with a friendly atmosphere. If only the stars had been visible, it would have been a five-star tour! ⭐︎
以前星空とサンライズに参加してスゴくよかったので、あの感動をと思いサンセットと星空に参加しました。残念ながらお天気の関係でサンセットは雲で微妙で星空は新月近いので綺麗に見えると思っていたのですが、雲で国立公園も出た標高が半分のところで観ました。一度満天の星空を経験した後だったので、残念だなと思いました。ガイドさんのお話しや星の説明はとても詳しくたのしかったし、気遣いもすごく行き届いたものだったのでまた参加するつもりです。途中寄ったドーナツ屋さんやクラでのお買い物もとてもよかったです。また、一緒に乗り合わせた方々とも初対面なのに和気あいあいとして楽しいツアーでした。星空さえ見えたら５星のツアーです⭐︎

This was a tour I had been interested in for a long time, recommended by a senior colleague. It was my second time at Haleakalā.
The first time, I visited Maui for a day trip and drove there. I saw a sky full of stars, but since I didn't have any knowledge about stars and had to catch a flight back, I only looked at the stars for about two minutes while descending, thinking, "Wow, it's beautiful!" before quickly returning to the car.
This time, for my second visit to Haleakalā, I knew from the beginning that it would be a full moon, and I participated in the tour for the first time. I could only see bright stars with the naked eye, but through the telescope, we were shown various stars, searched for Mickey in the full moon, and since we lacked knowledge about stars, we learned a lot from the explanations. Listening to the guide's stories helped reset my mind. Hearing from someone with so many experiences is truly valuable!
Due to my husband's work schedule, I can't plan trips around the new moon in advance, but I hope to go again when the new moon comes around.
I'm grateful to the senior colleague who recommended the tour! Thank you very much, Yamapi-san!!
先輩におすすめされて参加したずっと気になっていたツアーです。ハレアカラは2回目。
1回目は日帰りマウイ島でレンタカーで行きました。この時満天の星空を見ましたが、星の知識がなく、また帰りの飛行機の時間があった為、2分くらい下山途中に見て、あぁ綺麗！と感動して即車内に戻りました。
今回の2回目のハレアカラは、初めから満月だと分かっていてツアーに初参加。明るい星しか肉眼では見えませんが、望遠鏡で色々な星を見せてくれ、満月の月にミッキーをさがしたり、やはり星の知識がない私達は星の解説を聞けて勉強になりました。またガイドさんの話を聞いて心がリセットされました。色んなことを経験されてきた方からのお話は為になります！
旦那の仕事の休みの関係で、新月に狙って旅行の計画を立てることが予め出来ませんが、新月狙ってま
た行けたらいいなと思います。
ツアーをおすすめしてくれた先輩に感謝！山ぴーさん、どうもありがとうございました！！

I participated with three friends.
The process: Since there were participants coming from various resorts on the island, we took a welcoming car and met up with other participants at the meeting point.
After that, we stopped by a supermarket for dinner, where we bought souvenirs like coffee and almond chocolate at a cheaper price than ABC Mart, and then headed to Haleakalā!
During the journey, we climbed the mountain while listening to the guide's explanations and interesting stories.
We took a bathroom break along the way, and since we ascended gradually, I didn't really notice the changes in air pressure and oxygen levels!
Also, the scenery we saw while climbing was very beautiful, and I was taking pictures the whole time!
The summit was very cold, and without the provided warm clothing, it would have been impossible to go outside and enjoy the view.
At night, there were no streetlights at all, and since there were no guardrails on the mountain roads, those who came individually returned before sunset.
I got the impression that going individually is almost impossible.
The sunset and starry sky were more beautiful than anything I had ever seen, and I kept looking up at them (*^_^*)
During the viewing, the guide also provided explanations.
My friends were very satisfied, and we were really glad we participated.
This tour made me want to go to Maui just for it.
友人を含め4人で参加しました。
流れ:島内の各リゾートから参加される方がいるため、お迎えの車に乗って、合流地点で、他の参加者さんと合流しました。
その後、夕飯のためにスーパーによりますが、その時にコーヒーや、アーモンドチョコなどのお土産をABCマートよりも安く購入し、いざハレアカラへ！
道中はガイドさんの説明と、面白い話を聞きながら、山道を登って行きます。
途中、トイレ休憩をしながら、少しずつ登ったため、気圧、酸素濃度の変化もあまり気にならずにすみました！
また、登ってる間に見える景色がとても綺麗で、ずっと写真を撮っていました！
山頂はとても寒く、用意されている防寒具がなければ外に出て景色を眺めるのは無理だな。という感じ。
また夜になると全く街灯がなく、さらに山道にガードレールなどもないため、個人でいらしてた方々はサンセット前に帰っていました。
個人で行くのはほぼ無理だなという印象です。
サンセット、星空は今まで見たことない程の綺麗さで、ずっと見上げてました(*^_^*)
また鑑賞中はガイドさんの説明もあります。
友達達も、大満足で、参加して本当に良かったです。
このツアーのために、わざわざマウイ島に行きたくなるようなツアーでした。

Well-trained horses make it enjoyable for beginners to ride.
You can enjoy breathtaking views overlooking the sea on a course that lasts about an hour.
You can also take photos at the viewpoint.
Bringing cameras and other items is allowed.
I think it's a good idea to prepare a shoulder bag that can be fully zipped up to avoid losing anything while on horseback.
よく訓練された馬で、初心者でも乗馬が楽しめます。
小一時間ほどのコースで、海を見下ろせる絶景を楽しめます。
ビュースポットでは写真も撮ってもらえます。
カメラ等も持ち込みOKです。
馬上で落し物がないよう、全てチャックで閉じられる肩掛け鞄等を用意するといいと思います。
