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.

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.

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。

I went to the summit of a 3000-meter mountain for the first time in my life. I thought it was about the same height as Mount Fuji, but we smoothly ascended while enjoying the wonderful scenery by car. The summit is quite cold, but with jackets, gloves, and warm tea provided, we were able to spend our time comfortably. There were frequent stops for restrooms, so there was no need to worry about that.
The guide, Mr. Yamauchi, is a very experienced veteran, knowledgeable about the stars, and reliable, allowing us to create one of the wonderful memories of our lives.
I highly recommend this tour to everyone; I believe it’s a fantastic experience that should be done at least once in a lifetime if possible.
人生初めての3000メートルの山の山頂に行きました。富士山と同じ位の高さかと思いますが、車で素晴らしい景色を見ながらスイスイ登って行きました。山頂はかなり寒いですが、ジャケットと手袋、温かいお茶を用意してくださり、快適に過ごすことが出来ます。トイレも頻回に止まってくださるので、トイレの心配もいりません。

First, we arrived at Mendes Ranch and were impressed by the beauty of the scenery. It was my first time horseback riding, but they accommodated all skill levels. Even as a beginner, I was able to get comfortable with the horse and was allowed to ride at a trot. The plan was for about an hour and a half, but we ended up enjoying a full two hours, riding through the beautiful landscape and taking photos. Both my husband and I were extremely satisfied with this horseback riding experience.
先ずはメンデス牧場に着いて、その景観の美しさに感動しました。人生初めての乗馬でしたが、レベル毎に対応してくださり、初めてながらも少し馬に慣れた所で走らせて貰えたり、1時間半位のプランでしたが、2時間位たっぷりと、美しく景色の中を馬に乗って歩き回り、写真を撮って貰え、夫婦共々大満足な乗馬体験でした。

My first time on Maui! First, I want to shout out that our guide, Yamauchi-san, also known as Yamachan, was amazing! On the way to Haleakalā, we started with fun conversations in the car, filled our stomachs at Krispy Kreme, and had the chance to choose sushi for dinner at a supermarket, as well as enjoy a shop selling special coffee and honey. We took our time at each place, allowing us to enjoy everything without feeling rushed.
As we ascended to the summit, the temperature dropped, but they provided us with jackets, gloves, blankets, and warm tea. The sunset was absolutely beautiful!!! I could forget the cold and just keep watching. Yamachan's timing in preparing everything according to the sunset was impressive, showcasing years of experience. We had so much fun eating the sushi we bought in the car and chatting until it got completely dark!
The excitement of looking up at the starry sky was incredible! The moment we all looked up together was truly moving!!!! This was my first time seeing such a star-filled sky!!! It was really touching!! They even showed us various stars through a telescope, which was fantastic. We could sit back and enjoy the view! Yamachan's stories were also very touching.
I hope many people get to experience looking up at the starry sky with their loved ones and hear Yamachan's stories. It was truly the best time. I participated in this tour just one day before returning home, and it became a wonderful memory. I would love to join again when I visit Maui. Thank you so much!
初めてのマウイ島!まず声を大にしてお伝えしたいのいがガイドの山内さんこと山ちゃんのガイド最高です!ハレアカラに到着するまでの道中、車内で楽しいお話から始まり、クリスピードーナッツ屋でお腹を満たし、途中スーパーで夜に食べるお寿司を選んだり買い物ができたり、特別なコーヒーや蜂蜜が販売している売店も楽しむことができたり一つ一つの場所でゆっくりと時間をとってくださり時間に余裕をもって楽しむことができました。
頂上にいくにつれて気温は下がりますが上着や手袋、毛布、温かいお茶もご用意してくれています。

The sunset and night view were amazing. The jackets and blankets were appreciated, but it's best to dress warmly. Compared to the time spent viewing the craters and Haleakalā, it felt like we spent a long time shopping for souvenirs. It would have been even better if we could have visited one more sightseeing spot instead of spending so much time at the supermarket.
夕焼けも夜景も最高でした。ジャケットや毛布はありがたかったですが、たくさん着込みましょう。
クレーターとかハレアカラを見る時間に比較すると、お土産を買う時間が長かったかな。スーパー訪問を減らしてもう一箇所くらい観光スポットに連れてってくれるともっと良いかも。

This was a very nice trip to take if you've never driven the road to Hana. There are some 600 turns and 57 one lane bridges, which seemed crazy in a rental car. Downside being If you want to stay and explore - you can't. Beyond that our tour guide, Bill, was very knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting facts. In addition to the Lava Tube Cave (which was very cool!) we also saw the black sand beach and a few waterfalls. Also the swim is cold but refreshing! They feed you so besides snacks you really don't need anymore than what they list when you register. If you get car sick, makes sure to bring something for that!

Yam P was very good at talking and it was fun the whole time, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to bad weather. I want to try again, but I wonder when I can go... That was the only disappointing part. It was nice to stop by the Claw Lodge, visit Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and go to the supermarket as well. I'm not sure if the starry sky was affected by the weather, but it wasn't that impressive... just as I expected. I've participated in a similar sunset and starry sky tour at Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island, and that one was definitely more beautiful and moving. If I get the chance to go again, I might want to try for a redo. The guide, Yam P, was really great, so I would like to request him again!
山Pさんはとても話し上手でずっと楽しくて良かったのですが、肝心のサンセット、天候が悪く見れませんでした。またリベンジしたいのですが、いつ行けるのやらです。。。そこだけが残念でした。途中クラロッジに寄ったり、クリスピークリームドーナツに寄ったり、スーパーにも行けて良かったです。星空は天候のせいなのかは分かりませんが・・・感動はさほどで。。。思った通りでした。ハワイ島のキラウェア火山で同じようなサンセット&星空ツアーに参加したことがありますが、そちらの方が断然綺麗で感動しましたよ。また行けるときがあればリベンジしようかな。ガイドの山Pさんはすごく良かったのでまたお願いしたいです!!

It would have been nice to be able to talk to my husband about the things we seen and point out to each other but Larry was talking so loud we couldn't even here each other. And it wasn't just us that didn't like not being able to talk to each other most other couples sitting near us thought the same. But some of the information we hears about was interesting but most was just nonsense . And also would have been nice to know that we couldn't go swimming. We and alot of other couples wore their swim suits under our clothes and if we would have known that we weren't going swimming we would have wore more comfortable clothing for that long ride. Next time instead of a tour we will take the road to haha on our own in a rental car.

Whether or not to go horseback riding here largely depends on how much you enjoy the drive to get there. You will ascend a narrow mountain road with many twists and turns (the road itself is well-paved, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your car). While navigating the continuous curves where you can't see ahead, if you encounter an oncoming vehicle, one of you will have to stop or back up until you find a spot to pass each other. There is basically no shoulder, but there are places where you can pass each other closely without having to back up for long distances.
I stayed in Ka'anapali, so I took the clockwise route and returned the same way. The scenery along the way was truly stunning. Before entering the aforementioned narrow road, Highways 30 and 340 have plenty of space and beautiful viewpoints where you can safely stop your car, and even after entering the narrow road, there are spots with great views where you can pull over. There are shops selling crafts and various souvenirs, as well as a sculptor's garden and shop.
Google Maps indicated it would take just over an hour by car, but I recommend planning for about three hours, as the drive is so enjoyable that you might find yourself rushing at the end. Ultimately, the horseback riding became the highlight of a day-long drive.
Even for those who don’t want to ride, there is a gazebo on the ranch with plenty of plants, and you can play with rabbits, chickens, goats, and peacocks while you wait, so you might not be dissatisfied if you come along just for the drive.
Now, regarding the horseback riding itself, the experience may vary depending on the participants. Riders are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels based on self-assessment. At my session, everyone except me was a beginner, including several children around four years old, so the content was adjusted accordingly. Therefore, I can't say how it would be with a different group.
Even with such a group, those who wish to can canter a bit. The horses know where to run and where to stop, so no special handling is required. It feels very safe.
The scenery along the course is fantastic. You can reach places with breathtaking views of the ocean that you can only access through this activity, along steep paths.
In conclusion, if you enjoy going up and down hills on horseback, you will have a great time. However, if you are expecting a thrilling ride, it might be a bit disappointing depending on the group you are with.
ここでの乗馬をするかどうかは、到着までのドライブを楽しめるかどうかがけっこう鍵になると思います。対面通行できない細い山道を九十九折に登ります(道路自体はよく舗装されているので、車を傷める心配はありません)。
先が見えないカーブの連続を走りながら、対向車に出会ったらどちらかが止まって、あるいはすれ違えるところまでどちらかがバックして、すれ違います。基本的に路肩はありませんが、それほど距離をおかずにギリギリすれ違える場所があるので、長い距離をバックすることはないと思います。
私はカアナパリにステイしていたので、時計回りのコースを行き、帰りも同じ道を帰りました。それほど道中の景色が素晴らしかったです。上に書いた対面通行できない道に入る前のハイウエイ30や340には、十分な広さがあって車を安心して止められる美しいビューポイントがいくつもありますし、細い道に入ってからも景色のいい場所には車を止められるスペースがあります。クラフトものやさまざまなお土産品を置いているショップ、彫刻家のガーデン&ショップもあります。
グーグルマップでは車で1時間そこそこの表示でしたが、3時間みてドライブしても最後は急いだというくらい、道中が楽しいです。結局、1日かけたドライブの山場としての乗馬という感じになりました。
乗馬をしたくない人でも、牧場内にガゼボがあり植物も豊富ですし、ウサギや鶏、ヤギ、クジャクと遊んで待っていられるので、ドライブのつもりで同行してもらっても不満はないかもしれません。
さて、肝心の乗馬ですが、そのときの参加者によって内容が変わるのかもしれません。自己申告でビギナー、ミドル、アドバンスに分かれます。私のときは私以外は全員初心者で4歳くらいの子どもを何人か含むメンバーだったので、それなりの内容になりました。ですのでほかのパターンだったらどうなるのかは私にはわかりません。
そんなメンバーでも希望者は少しキャンターもします。馬がどこで走りどこで止まるかをわかっているので操作は必要ありません。とても安全です。
コースの景色は最高です。このアクティビティでなければ行けない様な、険しい道から海を見渡す場所に行けます。
結論として、馬で丘を下ったり上ったりするのが好きな人なら楽しいですよ。颯爽と駆ける外乗を期待するなら、そのときのメンバーによっては期待はずれになるかもしれません。

This hike takes you through the rainforest side of Maui. Our guide, Sarah, was very knowledgeable. She was able to answer our questions about the plants and animals along our hike. The waterfalls were beautiful. The jumps into the pools were a lot of fun and the guides gave good instruction on jumping which made me feel confident. The food was substantial for the duration of the hike. We were provided bananas and pineapple, both which were delicious. I had the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which was hearty for a PB&J. My husband had the turkey sandwich, and the slice of turkey was surprisingly thick making for a filling meal. Take advantage of the bug spray they provide. My husband didn't get bit, while I, not being as diligent with coverage, got a few bites. This was the last activity we decided to add to our itinerary and it turned out to be our favorite tour of our vacation.

We participated as a family of four, and we were extremely satisfied with our half-day tour, thanks to our guide, Yamauchi (Yama-chan). At the Krispy Kreme store where we gathered, Yama-chan's excellent talk created a sense of camaraderie among the participants. To acclimatize to the altitude, we aimed for 3055 meters while taking breaks. On the way, when we stopped at a supermarket to buy sushi for dinner, I cleverly got Kona coffee at a discount using Yama-chan's card. (When I got home and drank it, it turned out to be delicious coffee!)
Yama-chan's talk in the car was entertaining, and I kept saying "Wow!" at the stories I was hearing for the first time. After witnessing a magnificent sunset, we were treated to a sky full of stars! Everyone was captivated by the detailed explanations using a laser pointer. Did you know that the Big Dipper actually has eight stars? This tour was not only about the beauty of nature but also about the charm of Yama-chan, who is full of humanity. My whole family wants to visit Yama-chan again.
家族4人で参加、もう何といっても山内さん(山ちゃん)のガイドに大満足の半日でした。最初に集合したクリスピードーナッツの店でツアー参加者の紹介、山ちゃんの絶妙なトークで連帯感が生まれました。気圧に慣らす為、休憩を取りながら3055mを目指します。途中スーパーで夕食のお寿司を買う時、私はちゃっかりコナコーヒーを山ちゃんのカードでディスカウントして貰って調達しました。(帰って飲んだら、これが大当たり!の美味しいコーヒーでした。)
車内での山ちゃんのトークが面白く、初めて聞く話に「へぇ~」の連発。素晴らしい日没を見た後の満天の星!!レーザーポインターを使ったマニアックな解説にみんな釘付けでした。北斗七星はホントは八星ですって!自然の素晴らしさは勿論人間味溢れる山ちゃんの魅力にはまったツアーでした。家族全員また山ちゃんに会いに行きたいです。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best views from Haleakalā. The sunset over the sea of clouds and the starry sky were both so wonderful that words can't express them. More than anything, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was simply amazing! He talked to us during the drive, but his storytelling under the starry sky is something I will never forget. Of course, I want to see the views and the starry sky at Haleakalā again, but I also want to meet Mr. Yamauchi again. This tour makes you feel that way. There seem to be other tours of Haleakalā, but please consider joining this one with Maui All-Stars. It will cleanse your soul.
天気に恵まれ、ハレアカラからの最高の景色を見ることができました。
雲海の中の夕焼け、満点の星空、どちらも言葉で表現できないほど素晴らしかったです。
それよりも何よりも、ガイドの山内さんの対応がともかく素晴らしかった!。運転中も色々お話してくれるのですが、特に星空の下での山内さんの語りは一生忘れられません。
ハレアカラの景色、星空がもう一度見たいのはもちろんですが、また山内さんにお会いしたい。
そんな気にさせてくれるツアーです。
ハレアカラのツアーは他にもあるようですが、マウイ・オールスターズのこのツアーに是非参加してみて下さい。心が洗われます。

Awesome adventure, Larry was great! He knew so much about the area and the people that live there. Larry answered our questions as best as he could. He told us funny stories, history and folk lore about the plants and land formations as we came upon them. He was entertaining and we felt safe and comfortable with him at the wheel. We had quite a few times where we could get out and take pictures or explore the area at our many stops during the day. Our lunch was delicious. It was a great opportunity to get to know our fellow travelers while taking in the scenery.

Hi Wolfgang! What a great surprise! Thank you for the awesome review! We too appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Immigration and customs almost never happens in Maui. We both were caught blindsided, but it ended up being a wonderful day! We wish you both many more moments of joy, love & laughter together... warmest aloha, the Holo Holo Gang!
