All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Our guide "Frenchie" was very funny, entertaining, and courteous. He certainly made the 2 hour horseback ride enjoyable. We were taken to some locations that offered amazing views of both the mountains and the ocean. In addition, the BBQ lunch that was provided was excellent as well. Overall, it was a very good experience, and one that we would recommend to others.

Last year, I participated alone. This time, I joined with my husband to relive that amazing experience.

Looking down at the Haleakalā Crater from 1,000 meters. It was a strange experience, feeling like I was in a silent world with no bird songs or sounds of the wind. I wondered if this is part of the Earth.

That day, since it was close to a full moon, the number of stars seemed slightly fewer, but I was amazed by the size of the moon. It was big and white, looking like I could reach out and touch it. With Mr. Yamauchi's large telescope, I could see the craters on the moon clearly. That was surprising too!

In the cold winter sky, I could sit in a chair with a blanket, warm clothing, gloves, a heat pack, and enjoy warm tea while observing. Listening to the BGM from the car while gazing at the stars, I couldn't stop my tears while listening to Mr. Yamauchi's stories. Even on the way back, the BGM chosen by Mr. Yamauchi plays. That's something to look forward to as well.

That feeling of awe can only be gained by participating in this tour. I hope many people can experience that emotion. It's a thoroughly accommodating tour for customers. I hope other tours will take note of this. (laughs)

Next time, I want to experience the summer night sky with my nephews and nieces.

For those participating in winter, it might be good to keep your feet warm. During the tour, you can enjoy donuts and a delicious, hearty bento, so you'll be well satisfied.

I also participated in a star tour on the Big Island, but it takes a long time to go to Mauna Kea and climb to about 4,200 meters, which makes me physically anxious, and there's a possibility of it being closed due to snow. You watch the sunset at the summit, and for actual star observation, you come down to about 2,800 meters, so you can observe from a higher place at Haleakalā.

昨年、私一人で参加しました。その時の感動を再度味わいたくて主人と参加しました。

1000ｍから見下ろすハレアカラクレーター。
鳥の鳴声・風の音すらしない無音の世界。これも地球の一部なのだろうかと不思議な体験をしました。

その日は、満月に近いために★の数は若干少なく感じましたが月の大きさにビックリしました。白くて大きく手が届きそうな月でした。
山内さんの大型望遠鏡で月のクレーターまではっきり見えたのです。これにも驚きでした！！

冬の寒空の中、椅子に座りひざ掛け、防寒義、手袋、カイロ、暖かいお茶を飲みながら観測できるのです。
★を眺めながら、車中から聞こえてくるBGM。山内さんのお話を聞きながら涙が止まりませんでした。
帰りの車中でも山内さんチョイスのBGMが流れます。これも楽しみですよ。

あの感動はこのツアーに参加をしないと得られないですね。
沢山の方に感動してもらいたいと思います。
お客様の為の至れり尽くせりツアーです。○○ツアーも見習ってもらいたいですね。（笑）


私も今度は、夏の夜空を甥や姪と体験したいです。

冬の参加の方は足元を暖かくされると良いかもしれません。
ツアー中はドーナツを食べたり、ボリュームたっぷりで美味しい幕の内弁当が出ますので満腹度もパッチリです。

ハワイ島の★ツアーも参加しましたが、長時間かけてマウナケアに行き4200m級の山へ登って行きますので体力的に不安ですし、雪でcloseになる可能性もあります。山頂でsunsetを見て、実際の★観測は2800ｍくらいの所まで降りてきますので、ハレアカラの方が高い場所で観測できますよ~~。

This was the best! I traveled with my teenage daugher and 9 year old son and we had a wonderful family experience! Kristin (our guide) is the BEST! Kristin brought the whole group together as one big family! She made sure everyone had a great time and pointed out many interesting plants and species in the rainforest. She was amazing with my son and helped him with the rope swings - All of us would definitely do this event again!!!!

It was the tour I expected.
There seem to be other options for stargazing tours in Maui, but I recommend this one for anyone other than those who prioritize cost. Also, if you're looking for a tour aimed at Japanese participants at a similar price point, I highly recommend this one.
We participated as a family, and they were very kind to my 4-year-old child, who could join for free.
Not only was the content great, but I believe the biggest charm is the personality of our guide, Mr. Yamauchi.
Additionally, the bento provided with this tour was the best in taste and volume among the Japanese bento I've had overseas.

期待通りのツアーでした。
マウイでの星空ツアーは他にも選択肢があるようですが、とにかく経済性という方以外にはこちらをお奨めします。又、同程度の金額の日本人向けツアーなら尚更こちらがお奨めです。
今回は家族で参加で、無料での参加となる4歳の子供にも大変親切にしていただきました。
内容もさることながら、やはりガイドの山内さんのお人柄が最大の魅力と思います。
更に付け加えると、こちらのツアーにつくお弁当は今まで海外で食べたことのある和食弁当の中で最高の味とボリュームでした。

The 4 of us had a ball at the ranch. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Frenchi and Butch were great with us. Also liked the way riders were paired to the horses. Had my 50th birthday on your island and at the end of the ride I was the last to dismount due to friends signing Happy Birthday to me. Was a BIG highlight of our trip. Thanks again.

The 2-hour excursion with lunch was outstanding. The scenery of the entire East side of Maui, from Haleakala through Kahului to the three waterfalls of Mt. Eke was breathtaking. The opportunity for the horses to trot & gallop was a pleasant surprise that I was not expecting. The Paniolo lunch of barbecue chicken & ribs was very delicious.

Thanks for the experience!!!

I had a great time. The staff was very accommodating, and I was able to participate comfortably. The sunset and stargazing experience is definitely recommended! It's something you can't experience in Japan, and it's truly moving, so I hope many people get to see it. They also lent us down jackets and gloves, and provided warm drinks. I'm really glad I was able to experience this on my last night in Maui.

とっても楽しめました。
スタッフの方の対応も良くて、気持ちよく参加できました。
サンセット＆星空観測は絶対おススメです！
日本では絶対体験できないことだし、感動モノなので是非たくさんの方にも見てほしい。
ダウンジャケットや手袋も貸してくれて、あたたかい飲み物も用意してくれました。
マウイ最後の夜に体験できたのでホント良かったです。

Mendes staff, Rocky, Butch, and Frenchi were wonderful--so friendly and helpful! These folks made the experience even more fun and enjoyable. The views during the ride are spectacular. Plus, the guides provide interesting information at the two photo opportunity stops; the information and the photo ops are quite thoughtful. I've been on three other horserides on different islands, and this one is my favorite because of Rocky, Butch, and Frenchi, and the views. The BBQ lunch is also very tasty and much enjoyed after a beautiful ride.

This time, I participated with my 80-year-old mother. Six years ago, I was moved by a tour of Mauna Kea on the Big Island, so I wanted to experience that feeling again and joined the Haleakalā tour on Maui, and I was even more moved than last time. They provided chairs for us to look up at the night sky, and my mother was captivated by the countless stars without worrying about her feet. The background music was also great, and I could feel Yamapi's thoughtfulness in every detail, which brought me to tears. Thank you very much.

今回、80歳の母と参加しました。6年前、ハワイ島のマウナケアのツアーで感動したのでもう一度感動したくてマウイのハレアカラに参加しましたが、前回よりもっと感動しました。夜空を見上げるのにイスを用意していただき、母は足元を気にせず何時までも満天の星に感動していました。BGもよく、ヤマピーの心配りが端々に感じ思わず涙してしまいました。ありがとうございました。

My wife though this was one of the best activities we did while in Maui. Great job by the staff.

I participated in the Maui Syndrome infection patient tour on August 19. This was my 12th visit to Maui in 24 years of marriage. Among the 12 visits, I think this tour was the best one for climbing Haleakalā.

Regarding the content, I was very satisfied, just as "Luna" described in her post from June 3.

On the day of the tour, there were many clouds due to a typhoon passing nearby, so we couldn't see a sky full of stars, but I definitely want to participate in this tour again next time. It must be the charm of our guide, Mr. Yamauchi!

　８月１９日に参加したマウイ症候群感染患者です。結婚生活の２４年間で、今回が１２回目のマウイ島訪問でした。１２回の中で色々な形でハレアカラ山に登りましたが、今回のツアーが最高に良かったと思います。

　内容については、６月３日投稿の「るなさん」の記述の通りで、大満足でした。

　参加当日は近くを通過する台風の影響で雲が多く、満天の星ではなかったけれど、それでも次回も必ず参加したいツアーです。
それはきっとガイドの山内さんの魅力でしょう！

If you go to Maui, participating in this activity is essential for a complete trip. It starts with Krispy Kreme, and you can buy delicious jams and tea at Kula Lodge, and then finally head to Haleakalā. You drive up the 3,000-meter mountain, so there’s absolutely no stress. When you reach the summit, a breathtaking view awaits you. The colors are incredible. At the end, there’s also a heartwarming story from the guide, Mr. Yamauchi. As a side note, it gets quite cold at the top, so especially for women, it’s best to dress warmly to protect against the cold.

マウイに行ったら、これに参加しなければマウイの旅行は完結しないでしょう、という位有意義なアクティビティでした。
クリスピー＆ドーナツに始まり、クラロッジで旨いジャムや紅茶を買う事が出来、いよいよハレアカラへ。
3000メートルの山の登るのですが、車ですぅーと行くので、まったくストレスがありません。
山頂まで着くと、息を飲む光景が待っています。
色が凄いんです。
最後はガイドの山内さんの心温まるお話も付いています。
余談ですが、頂上は相当寒いので得に女性は足などしっかり防寒していったほうがいいです。

My first time in Maui. I changed my schedule to participate due to bad weather, but I'm really glad I didn't give up... Shopping in Waikiki isn't bad at all, but the depth of such a wonderful experience is incredible!! I'm becoming more and more captivated by Hawaii. Thank you so much, Mr. Yamauchi, for your heartfelt stories.

初のマウイ。
悪天候で日程を変更して参加しましたが、あきらめなくて本当に良かった…。ワイキキでショッピングも決して悪くは無いけれど、こんなにも素晴らしい体験が出来る奥の深さ！！
益々ハワイの虜になってしまいました。
山内さん、心に響くお話本当にありがとうございました。

This was at the top of our list as far as the Activities we did in Maui. It was FUN, the people were sooooo Friendly and the VIEWS were AMAZING!!!!!! It is a little on the pricey side, but worth it.

I joined this tour based on my suggestion that horseback riding would be a great way to connect with nature, something we don't usually get to do.

My child just turned eight, which is the perfect age for horseback riding, so I hoped it would be a good experience as we headed to the ranch. It was my daughter's first time seeing a real horse, and she was quite excited. The horseback riding was relaxed and felt like a leisurely stroll, making it perfect for her, and it was really wonderful.

I'm truly glad we could have this kind of interaction with nature and animals during our trip to Maui.

Thank you for providing us with this valuable experience.

普段できない自然との触れ合いには、乗馬がいいのでは？っという私の提案からこのツアーに参加させてもらいました。

子供もちょうど８歳になり、乗馬できる年齢だったので良い体験になればと思い向かった牧場。本物の馬を見るのがはじめての娘は興奮気味。
ゆったりとお散歩感覚での乗馬だったので、娘にもぴったりですごくよかったです。
こういう自然や動物との触れ合いが、マウイ島旅行の間にできて本当によかったです。

貴重な体験をさせていただき、有難うございます。

Since I'm traveling alone, I wanted to spend some relaxing time, and I found horseback riding at Mendes Ranch. The scenery of Maui Island while gently swaying on the horse is truly wonderful. This kind of leisurely horseback riding is perfect for solo travelers.

一人旅なんで、まったりとした時間を過ごしたいなって思って見つけたのが、このメンデス牧場での乗馬。
馬にまたがって、ぽっかぽっかと揺られながら見るマウイ島の景色は、また良いもんですね。
こういうゆったりとした時間を過ごせる乗馬は、一人旅にもってこいです。

I hadn't gone horseback riding since I did it a few times as a child, but since I came to beautiful nature-filled Hawaii this time, I decided to give it a try.

Riding slowly and leisurely on a horse is wonderful. It allows you to forget about everyday life, breathe in the delicious Hawaiian air, and feel the grandeur of nature. It was a valuable experience.

I think I might want to go horseback riding again when I want to enjoy some slow time.

乗馬って、子供の頃に数回いったっきり、それから全然行ってなかったんですけど、今回せっかく自然のきれいなハワイに来たんだからってことで、乗馬体験してみました。

馬にまあがってゆ~~っくりのんびりとできる散歩いいですね。日常のことを忘れて、ハワイのおいしい空気を吸って、雄大な大自然を感じる。貴重な体験をさせてもらいました。

またゆ~っくりした時間がほしいときには、乗馬をしようかなって思ってます。

It was the best tour.
It was a shame that we couldn't see many stars due to the weather, but the sunset and Mr. Yamauchi's stories were fantastic.
When I returned to my room, there was champagne waiting for me.
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much.

最高のツアーでした。
天候の関係で星があまり見えなかったのが残念でしたがサンセットと山内さんのお話は最高でした。
部屋に帰ったらシャンパンが置いてありましたよ。
いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I previously participated in the Haleakalā volcano sunrise and downhill tour twice, but this time I joined the sunset and stargazing tour with my family, as my younger child is still small. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations. (I'm sorry!) I never imagined it would become one of the top three memories of my life.

First of all, it was my first time on a tour with a Japanese guide, and Mr. Yamauchi's explanations were very easy to understand. I learned so much more and grew to love Maui even more, realizing how deep it is. The bento box was warm and truly delicious.

The sunset was, of course, moving, but the emotion I felt when I looked up at the starry sky... I was reminded that the Earth is surrounded by so many stars, and I realized for the first time how beautiful the universe is. It was a feeling that could only be experienced by seeing it with my own eyes, not through a planetarium or an encyclopedia. Tears just flowed without reason, and I couldn't stop crying even in the car on the way back.

This is a feeling that you can only experience by seeing it with your own eyes!!

私は以前２度ハレアカラ火山のサンライズ＆ダウンヒルのツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、今回は家族連れで、下の子がまだ小さかったため、このサンセット＆星空観測ツアーに参加しました。正直期待はしてませんでした。（スミマセン！）それがこんな人生で３本の指に入るような思い出になるとは思いもしませんでした。

まず、日本人の添乗員が付いたツアーも初めてだったのですが、山内さんの説明はとてもわかりやすく、より多くのことがわかり、マウイって奥が深いなぁ~とますます好きになりました。幕の内弁当もあったかくてほんとに美味しかったです。

サンセットももちろん感動でしたが、星空を見上げたときのあの感動・・・。地球はこんなにも多くの星に囲まれていることを思い知らされ、宇宙とはこんなにも美しいものだと初めて知りました。それはプラネタリウムでも、事典でもない肉眼で見ているからこその感動でした。訳もなくただただ涙が溢れてきて、帰りの車の中でも涙が止まりませんでした。

これは実際に自分の目で見なければ味わうことの出来ない感動です！！

Despite being over 3000 meters high, Yamauchi-san drives smoothly along a road without guardrails or streetlights. Since it's a national park, the focus is on the scenery. As expected of America. Apparently, if someone falls, it's the driver's fault.

From below, it looked cloudy, so I was worried, but once we broke through the rain clouds and emerged above the sea of clouds, it was like a different world. The sunset was beautiful too.

Although there were a few clouds, it wasn't a starry sky, but I was able to see the Milky Way for the first time in a while. I also saw the Southern Cross for the first time. A satellite even crossed our path.

It's a shame I didn't know about such a wonderful tour earlier; I would have loved to participate with my wife, who passed away two years ago. However, my sister, who joined this time, was very happy.

On the way back, we talked about ghost stories and listened to nostalgic songs by Takuro Yoshida and Yumi Matsutoya, and the time flew by. Thank you very much.

You can find the Kurihama Park website by searching for Kurihama Flower Kingdom.

３０００ｍを超えているのに、ガードレールも街灯もない道を山内さんは、すいすいと運転していきます。国立公園なので、景観重視との事。さすがアメリカ。転落するのは、運転手が悪いそうです。
下界から見ると雲がかかっているので、心配していましたが、雨雲を抜け雲海の上に出ると、そこは別世界。
夕日も綺麗でした。
少々雲があったので、満天の星空とはなりませんでしたが、久しぶりに天の川を見ることが出来ました。また、初めて南十字星も見ることが出来ました。人工衛星も横切りました。
こんなすばらしいツアーをもっと前に知っていたら、一昨年亡くなった妻と一緒に参加したのに残念です。でも、今回参加した姉はとても喜んでくれました。
帰りは、肝試しの話や、吉田卓郎やユーミンなどの懐メロなども聞け、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。有難うございました。

We are in our golden years, but we went to Maui for our honeymoon. It was my first time in 13 years, and for my husband, it was his first visit to Maui.

We debated whether to go for sunrise or sunset, but since we wanted to see the starry sky slowly from a mountain over 3,000 meters high, we chose sunset.

At 2:30 PM, we were picked up in front of our hotel (Ka'anapali). As we passed through the town of Lahaina, we were given recommendations for restaurants and galleries. After a tea time at Krispy Kreme, we headed to the town of Makawao. We strolled through unique galleries featuring paintings and glass creations, as well as shops selling cowboy products. We stopped by Kula Lodge and bought a lot of souvenirs like jam and coconut candy. There was a wide variety of jams, and we got to taste several of them. They also had tea and herbal products, creating a lovely, soothing atmosphere.

As we passed through a eucalyptus-scented forest, the scenery changed with the increasing altitude. While listening to stories about the flora and fauna of Haleakalā and the spirits, we arrived near the summit just before evening. We enjoyed a 360-degree view from the height of 3,055 meters until sunset. Through the telescope, we could see the Subaru Telescope on the Big Island's Kīlauea. The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was majestic, and the changes in the sky after sunset were beautiful as well. We were even able to see the Earth's shadow reflected in the sky.

After a restroom break and enjoying a warm Japanese bento, the stargazing began. Looking up at the night sky, it was filled with stars that twinkled quietly rather than sparkling. It made me realize just how many stars surround the Earth. I felt that this night sky was a special encounter made possible by being at such a high altitude. While watching the celestial planetarium, Yamauchi-san's explanations about stars and constellations were easy to understand, and I felt the mysteries of the universe.

It was probably lucky that it was just the two of us participating before Golden Week, but there were additional joys beyond Haleakalā, and Yamauchi-san's stories touched my heart. I didn't feel much cold thanks to my outfit of tights under my jeans and a hot pack around my waist.

熟年ですが・・新婚旅行をかねて、マウイ島に行きました。私は13年ぶり、夫は初マウイ。
サンライズか、サンセットかで迷いましたが、三千メートル級の山で、星空もゆっくりと観たかったので、サンセットにしました。

14時半に、ホテル前（カアナパリ）にお迎え。
ラハイナの街を通りながら、お勧めのレストランやギャラリーを教えていただきました。
クリスピードーナツのお店でティータイム後、マカワオの街へ。絵画やガラス創作の個性的ギャラリー、カウボーイ製品の店など散策しました。
クラロッジに立ち寄り、お土産のジャムやココナッツキャンディーをたくさん買いました。ジャムの種類は豊富で、いろいろ味見させていただき、紅茶やハーブ製品もあり・・癒される雰囲気が素敵でした。
ユーカリの爽やかな香りがする林を通り抜けて、高度が増すごとに、周囲の風景も変わってきます。ハレアカラの動植物や聖霊の話を聞きながら、夕刻前には頂上付近に到着しました。
サンセットまで、ハレアカラ高度３０５５ｍからの風景を３６０度眺めました。
望遠鏡からは、ハワイ島キラウエアのスバル展望台も。雲海に沈む夕陽は荘厳で、サンセット後の空雲の変化も美しいものでした。空に映る地球の影（アースシャドウ）も見ることができました。
トイレ休憩、温かい日本食弁当を食べた後、スターゲイジングの始まりです。
見上げた夜空は、キラキラ星というよりも、静かに瞬いている夜空いっぱいの星々でした。
地球の周りには、こんなにもいっぱいの星があるのですね。３千メートル級の高度だかこそ出遭えた夜空だと感じました。天体プラネタリウムを観ながらの、山内さんの星や星座のお話はわかりやすく、宇宙の神秘を感じました。

ゴールデンウィーク前で、夫婦二人の参加というのもラッキーだったのでしょうが・・ハレアカラ＋αの楽しみがあり、山内さんのお話も心に染みました。
ジーンズ下にタイツ・腰にホッカイロの装備で、寒さはあまり感じませんでした。

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I've been to Maui seven times. I love Maui, and I’m currently a 53-year-old lady. Since my third trip, I've enjoyed horseback riding. This time, I visited Mendes Ranch for the first time, and I think it was the best ranch I've been to so far. The difference from other ranches is, without a doubt, the amazing views. It's a shame I can't show you photos because I'm not good with computers. You don't need to worry at all if you can't speak English. The staff at the ranch are very kind and teach us how to ride in a way that we can understand, even without English. The food was also very delicious; we had barbecue beef and chicken. I had never seen Mendes Ranch mentioned in Japanese guidebooks, but it was far more wonderful than the other ranches listed in guidebooks. Since there was no shuttle service, we used a rental car to get there. I found the location a bit tricky to navigate, but if you allow enough time, I think it won't be a problem. The horses are well-trained, so there are no safety issues, and even complete beginners will be fine. You can see all the beautiful sea, mountains, and valleys of Maui. I highly recommend this activity. My husband and I participated together, and on another day, my newlywed daughter and her husband joined, and they were thrilled, saying it was a wonderful honeymoon.

8度目のハワイ旅行。その内の7回はマウイです。マウイ大好きの私、現在、53歳のオバチャンです。3度目の旅行から、乗馬を楽しんできました。今回参加したメンデス牧場は初めて訪れたのですが、今まで参加した牧場の中で、一番素晴らしいと思いました。他の牧場との相違は、なんと言っても、眺めの素晴らしさです。パソコンが苦手で写真をお見せできないのが残念です。英語が話せなくても、全く心配はいりません。牧場の人も大変親切で、英語のできない私たちにもわかるように、乗り方を教えてくださいます。また、食事も、とっても美味しく、ビーフとチキンのバーベキューでした。日本のガイドブックでは掲載されてるのを見たことのなかったメンデス牧場ですが、ガイドブックに掲載されている他の牧場とは、比較にならないくらい素晴らしかったです。送迎がないので、レンタカーを利用して行きました。少し地理的に分かりにくく感じたのですが、時間的に余裕をもって行けば、問題ないと思います。また、馬がよく調教されていますので、安全面でも問題ないし、全くの初心者であっても大丈夫です。マウイの美しい海、山、渓谷すべて見ることができます。是非、お薦めしたいアクティビティです。私は夫と二人で参加、別の日に新婚の娘夫婦が参加したのですが、娘たちは、素晴らしいハネムーンになったと喜んでいました。

It was a wonderful place filled with greenery! Since there are many steep slopes, the horseback riding tour is not only less burdensome but also incredibly fun!

At one point, I closed my eyes and imagined the everyday scenes of Japan, and when I opened my eyes again, the view was nothing short of breathtaking!

At various points, the horses stopped properly, allowing us to enjoy the scenery. I had a hard time finding horseback riding activities on Maui, but I'm glad I participated!

Experiencing the natural scenery through horseback riding is highly recommended! ☆

みどり溢れるすばらしい場所でした！
急な勾配だらけなので、馬に乗ってのツアーは負担が少ないうえ、なによりも楽しい！

途中でふと日本の日常の光景を思い浮かべて目をつむってみて、ふたたび目を開けたときの光景は感動的という以外のなにものでもありませんでした！

ポイントポイントではちゃんと馬も止まって、その景色を楽しむことが出来ました。マウイ島で乗馬のアクティビティがなかなか見つけられなかったのですが、参加できてよかったです！

自然の光景を乗馬でさらに体感できるなんて、お薦めです☆

This was our first time in Maui. It was a bit nerve-wracking since it was our first overseas trip with our 3-year-old child! I was wondering if the "Haleakalā Star Tour" would be suitable for kids, but since it was our special trip to Maui, we really wanted to see the beautiful sunset and starry sky, so we decided to participate!

On the day of the tour, my daughter was so happy with the very kind Mr. Yamauchi! During the drive, when Mr. Yamauchi mentioned, "Sometimes you can see whales around here," my daughter kept asking, "Whales? Whales?" Then Mr. Yamauchi stopped at a spot where we might see whales and helped us look through the binoculars! I was truly moved by Mr. Yamauchi's thoughtfulness!!!

With that kind of experience, we were able to enjoy the wonderful sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā while feeling Mr. Yamauchi's interesting talk and kindness from start to finish. Our first trip to Maui became a very special memory! Thank you so much!

私たちは今回初めてのマウイでした。
３歳になる子供を連れての初めての海外旅行だったのでちょっとドキドキでした！
「ハレアカラの星ツアー」も子供連れで大丈夫かなぁと思いながらも私たちがせっかくのマウイなのでぜひきれいなサンセット＆星空を見てみたいと思って参加しました！

当日！とっても優しい山内さんに娘もうれしそうでした！
ドライブ途中に山内さんが「このへんではクジラが見えるときがあるんです。」の一言に「クジラは？クジラは？」とずっと聞き続けていた娘。
すると山内さんは途中で止まってクジラが見えそうなところに双眼鏡を合わせてくれました！本当に山内さんのお気遣いに涙しそうでした！！！

そんな感じで最初から最後まで山内さんのおもしろトークと優しさをひしひしと感じながらハレアカラの素晴らしいサンセット＆星空を見ることができて初マウイはとてもいい思い出になりました！本当にありがとうございました！

Guides Jenny and Steve were great. My horse was amazing on the gallop and the tour was the perfect length.

I joined this tour by myself alone, but the tour was totally enjoyable. Our guide was very informative. He pointed out the place which has historically important, or Hawaiian plants, which has so many unique shapes and way to use.
He made whole day. And the view from the Lookout point was WOW!
I will recommend this tour for Anyone.

This activity was the hightlight of our trip. The staff was awesome, and the scenery breathtaking.

Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for your very kind coordination.

Although we couldn't see the sunset and starry sky at the summit due to the rain, the commemorative photo at the 3,000-meter peak will remain a cherished memory. My 85-year-old father and 79-year-old mother were also very impressed.

It was disappointing not to see the starry sky, but more than that, I was completely satisfied with Mr. Yamauchi's warm and thoughtful service throughout the day in Maui.

Just being able to see the countless stars scattered in the mid-mountain was amazing, so I can only imagine how wonderful the starry sky at the summit must be. I definitely want to try again to see the twilight sunset and the starry sky. Next time, I will aim for Haleakalā. I look forward to your assistance again then!

山内さん、とても親切なコーディネーションをありがとうございました。

雨で山頂でのサンセットと星空が見れませんでしたが、3000メートルの山頂での記念写真は思い出に残ります。
85歳の父と、79歳の母も大感激しておりました。

星空が見れなかったのは残念でしたが、それ以上に山内さんの暖かくて思いやり一杯の対応でマウイの一日が大満足でした。

中腹で無数にちりばめられた星空が見られただけでもすごかったので、山頂での星空はきっとすばらしいものと想像しています。
絶対に再チャレンジしてたそがれのサンセットと満天の星空を見に行きたいと思います。次回はハレを狙っていきます（ハレアカラね）
その節はまたよろしくお願いしますね！！！。

Highly recommend this one. We were so fortunate to have a tour guide who was so passionate about his job. He answered each and every question with more than enough information. We wished we would have booked a longer tour than just an hour. Mahalo...

This Horseback Ride was absolutely a BEAUTIFUL Adventure,. Everyone at the RANCH, especially, FRENCHY, our Tour guide was friendly, fun and informative on the ride about ALL the Beauty of the Island & Mendes Ranch History. They were giving of their time to the ones that were a little less experienced in riding & took pictures of everyone in differnet areas of the ride to make sure we ALL caputured great memories on film. We had the opportunity to gallop if we chose throughout the ride as well. The Horses are well cared for & are Beautiful. We had "Bailey" & "Cowboy" and Frenchy had Beautiful "Shotgun". I would definetly go back next trip to MAUI.
