All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

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。
また今度リベンジします。

The guide was Mr. Yamapi, and it was a wonderful experience. It was cold, but we were able to drive up to 3055 meters, and the starry sky we saw there was amazing.

ガイドが山Pさんで、とても素敵な体験ができました。寒かったけど、車で3055mまで行け、そこで見た星空は最高でした。

It might not have been Yamapi, but the person who came to pick me up was indeed Yamapi, known from Hawaii Love! The conversation in the car was interesting, and even though it was a long tour, I was entertained the whole time! I want to participate again with my family!

ヤマピーじゃないかも、との情報でしたが迎えに来てくれたのはハワ恋でお馴染みのヤマピーでした！
車の中での話も面白く、長いツアーでしたが飽きることなく楽しませてもらいました！
また、家族を連れて参加したいな～！！

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。

マウイ島着12:00。荷物をピックアップしタクシーでホテルまで40分。チェックイン後3:00のお迎えでしたが、初日にハレアカラに登ったので、すぐにマウイ島に慣れることができたような気がしました。初日から最高でした。

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⭐︎

We had a wonderful time on our Taste of Hana Tour with Hailey! She was a very safe expert driver with lots of fun information to give. We saw some amazing things and my family couldn't have done it without her. We really had an awesome time!! Thank you, Hailey, for your courtesy and knowledge!

Pickup time came and went. We had to call to remind that we had made a booking. And the pickup only came at 750 am which was 50 minutes after pickup time.

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。

I was truly moved to see a number of stars I've never seen before. The owner, Mr. Yamauchi, was wonderful, and it was a very pleasant tour. I completely fell in love with the charm of Maui. I definitely want to participate again.

今まで見た事のない数の星を観れて本当に感動しました
オーナーの山内さんの人柄も申し分なく、とても心地の良いツアーでした
マウイ島の魅力にすっかりはまってしまいました
もう一度是非参加したいです

Had a great time, first time on zip line, I will be doing it again. Just a heads up, your shoes will get dirty, so don't wear the new ones. Thanks Bundy and Mack

Our tour guide Isaiah was awesome and very friendly. He knew a lot about the island.

It was a lot of fun riding in a relaxed manner down the slope at first, and then being able to gallop up the hill in the second half, giving a sense of freedom.

あまり注意時のなく、最初は下り坂をゆったりと、後半は上り坂では駆足をさせてくれて自由な感じの乗馬で、とても楽しかった。

A tour where you can feel the Earth★
The sunset and stars are so beautiful that it's overwhelming.
The journey to the tour is relaxed, with stops at the supermarket, Krispy Kreme, and picking up dinner♪
We also bought souvenirs at the supermarket we visited at that time.
It's cold at the summit, so I recommend dressing warmly, but they provide extra clothing and blankets for you.
It was wonderful to come together as a group to watch the sunset and stars!
This tour allows you to reflect on yourself and your life in the great outdoors.

地球を感じられるツアー★
夕日も星も綺麗すぎて圧倒されます。
ツアーまでの道のりはスーパー行ったり、クリスピーに行ったり、夕食を買ったりと、ゆったり楽しめます♪
私たちもその時に行ったスーパーでお土産を購入したりしました。
山頂は寒いので暖かい格好をオススメしますが、上に着るものや毛布は用意してくださっています。
みんなで一体となり夕日や星を見るのも、とても素敵でした！
大自然の中で、自分自身や人生について改めて考えることができるツアーです。

This is my first visit to a rainforest and I was amazed.

We were picked up at designated location at 930 AM. We then changed to rubber shoes at the office and proceeded to hike. We were given breakfast and started the trail. Looks like it rained heavily the previous day and so we had to cross few streams on our way. The current in the streams were below our knee level but very strong. It was scary. The guide was very friendly, funny, knowledgeable and professional. So we did not have any difficulty. But it was awesome to see the falls full of water and strong currents in the streams. While we were told about occurrence of flash floods, I wonder what life would be in these situations. It was really wild out there, but you are with a professional.

I particularly enjoyed sliding in the water through a tunnel (the guide was there at the other end of the tunnel to stop me from being carried away by the current). My son (29) jumped 20 feet into one of the water fall, the guide showed us twice how to do that. We visited several water falls and I managed to stand under one of those 10 feet tall falls. The guide showed us several varieties of flowers, plants and fruits. We tasted some fruits, and had a good lunch break in one of the falls. The hike was not very difficult but also was not very easy. We returned to our car by 2 30 PM.

Many of the falls are not accessible to public and visiting with a professional is the best way to do it. I strongly recommend the hike to anyone.

We had a great time - our tour guide "Hailey" was awesome. She showed us the inside of Hana jungle - the best waterfalls and some history of the trees and beaches. Thank you so much!

The sunset was amazing! While listening to stories about the stars, the guide took us to beautiful viewing points. It truly became a wonderful memory.

サンセットは最高でした！
星空も、天体のお話を聞きながら、
ガイドさんが綺麗に見えるポイントへ案内してくれて。
本当に良い思い出になりました

I participated alone. It was my first time on Maui (over 10 years ago...), and the starry sky I saw at night after stopping the car was so beautiful that I decided to splurge and definitely go for this tour! The pickup arrived on time, and we had donut time around Kahului. I didn't hold back and had two! Choosing sushi at Foodland supermarket was crucial; I had to make the right choice! I bought two of the recommended Mauna Loa Coffee macadamia nuts for $6, and they were a hit at work, so definitely buy them if you find them! We gradually climbed the mountain, and the guide kept us entertained the whole time, making it enjoyable even alone. I got to see breathtaking views, eat sushi, and the starry sky was truly magnificent. It was moving!!! The explanation about the stars was professional and a bit difficult, though... I feel like it would have been even more amazing to share this experience with someone. I wish I could have brought my mom! Thank you for the wonderful tour.

一人での参加です。初めてのマウイ島で(１０年以上の昔ですが。。。)夜車を止めて見た星空が、とてもキレイだったので、奮発して絶対このツアーだっと思いできめました！
お迎えも時間通り来ていただき、カフルイあたりでドーナツタイムです。遠慮しないで２個頂いちゃいました！　フードランドのスーパーでお寿司選び。ここは外すと大変だ！　おすすめしていただいたマウナロアコーヒーのマカダミアナッツ試しに２個＄６だったので２個だけ買ったのですが、職場でとても好評で絶対見つけたら買い！ですよー　　山も少しずつ登って行ってその間もずっとガイドしていただき１人でも楽しかったです。絶景も見れてお寿司も食べて本当に満天の星空でした。感動ですよー！！！　星の解説はプロっぽいお話しなので難しいですが。。
１人できたのももったいないぐらい誰かと共有出来れば更に感動だと思います。
おかんを連れて来たかったなあ！！！　ステキなツアーありがとうございました。

There are so many stops along the way and some you don't stay at very long. So go on your own with a rental car so you can see what you want to see. The tour guide was pretty awful and so were the other passengers.

All the workers were super awesome and funny. Explained everything very clearly, even with scared people. Ziplines were a little scary but big big fun. Totally would do again.

We took a group of seven people on this tour and some of our group had done this trip previously. The driver had a tough time managing the people on the tour and other guests were up to 30 minutes late getting back to the bus on several occasions. The lunch situation was not good either. We waited in line for 30 minutes out doors in the heat at the one little stand available for lunch. Then sat out doors to eat with no AC and were dripping. On previous tours there were much better lunch set ups. We were never given enough time to get into the water at the black sands or the seven pools. Mostly because other people were late and the driver didn't manage the group well. But what really took the cake was our departure. My 71 year old father and his new wife were leaving and the driver asked if he could "kiss" the bride. She thought he was going to give her a peck on the cheek, but instead gave her a full on mouth kiss. So inappropriate. Too bad we had already tipped him. Not my favorite day on Maui.

My husband, myself and our 11 year old nephew had a great time on our hike. Pretty much everything was as described. We got to go to 4 different waterfalls, got to jump into 3 of them, included a pretty hefty peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a bag of chips, native fruit, lots of water and bug spray provided, and a backpack to keep everything in! The hike was definitely more on the moderate side than the easy side, I would say. My husband and I are fairly athletic and we were both sore and tired at the end of the hike. The nature is amazing. I took about 200 photos. The information that Sarah shared with us was interesting and insightful. She was a very nice, patient and informative tour guide. She was friendly and made conversation, but was not in your face, or invasive when people didn't want her to be. She was also very helpful because she showed the people on the tour the correct places and ways to jump off the waterfalls. I think this helped with some of the anxiety people had. I definitely recommend this hike. It is a little pricey, but it was worth it, and you really get your money's worth. I ended up messing up one of my ears when I jumped off of the third waterfall we found, so the end of the hike wasn't as pleasant for me as the beginning was, but I think that was a random thing that happened. My 11 year old nephew jumped a total of 7 times off the different waterfalls and never really complained about anything except that he slapped his hands and arms on the water (which was more his own fault). The one thing I didn't like was the number of people that were at the waterfalls during our tour. That was something we couldn't really control. There are some "private" waterfalls that we got to see, which, obviously had less people, but still had other people there. I think if you have a choice, go on a weekday, and it might be helpful to go during an off season. We went the day after 4th of July, so it was probably pretty busy.

The trip was well worth the money. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This time, I arrived at the location and signed up for this tour. I suddenly decided to go to Haleakalā after arriving, so I didn't have any warm clothing, and I chose this tour for the simple reason that it included warm clothing.

As a result, I was very satisfied!

I was surprised to find that almost everyone participating in the tour was a fan of the guide, Yamapi. Ignorance can be terrifying; it turns out that Yamapi is quite a celebrity. I was really surprised to learn that everyone comes to Maui to join Yamapi's stargazing tour—he's incredibly popular. And I was lucky!

I've been on various tours before, but this one was truly great. I want to go back to Maui to participate in this tour again.

今回、現地に着いてこのツアーに申し込みました。現地に着いてから急にハレアカラへ行こうと決めたので、防寒着等を持っておらず、防寒着付きという安易な理由でこのツアーに決めました。

結果、大満足！

何の情報もなく、このツアーに参加してビックリしたこと。それは参加してるほとんどの人がガイドの山ピーさんのファンということ。無知とは恐ろしいもので、この山ピーさん、かなりの有名人だそう。山ピーさんの星空ツアーに参加したくて皆さんマウイへ来てるというから本当にびっくり、大人気。そして私はラッキー♪

今まで色んなツアーへ行ってきましたが、本当によかったです。またマウイへこのツアーに参加しに行きたいと思います。

Zipline course itself was awesome
Beautiful view!
Guides were friendly
