This was an amazing tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable. Gorgeous views and so many stars. We even got to see Saturn and the Milky Way! Both our kids 11 &15 fully enjoyed it. One said it was their favorite activity on our trip. We will definitely be doing it again on our next trip to Maui. It’s does get cold at the top, so make sure you bring layers, hat and gloves! Blankets are provided!

I had the experience in September. The car was exclusively ours, with no other customers present.
We secured Krispy Kreme donuts and recommended food, and after taking a break along the way, we drove to the summit over 3000 meters high. They provided us with warm clothing and blankets as a precaution against the cold, and while sitting and enjoying warm drinks, we were captivated by our conversation with Yamapi-san, almost missing the sunset (laughs). After sunset, we moved to the opposite side and saw a fantastical moon in a sky transitioning from red to blue.
As it got darker, we looked up at the stars and constellations, received explanations, and observed various celestial bodies through a telescope, creating an extraordinary experience.
Yamapi-san has climbed Haleakalā over 3000 times, so we felt safe leaving it in his hands. I was worried about altitude sickness and motion sickness, but I felt fine, and his stories were very interesting. He listened eagerly to our conversations, making it an enjoyable tour from start to finish.
I will definitely rely on him again when I visit Maui. Thank you very much.
9月に体験させていただきました。
車内は他のお客様はおられず私たちだけで貸切の状態での参加となりました。
クリスピードーナツやオススメフードを確保して、途中休憩を挟みながら、車で3000メートル超えの山頂へ。
防寒対策として防寒着や毛布を貸してくれ、椅子に座って暖かい飲み物をいただきながらの夕日鑑賞でしたが、ヤマピーさんとのお話しに夢中になってしまい、危うく夕日を逃すところでした(笑)
日没後は反対側に移動し、赤色から青色のグラデーションの空の中、幻想的な月を見れました。
周りが暗くなり、空を見上げながらの星座や星の説明、望遠鏡でのさまざまな天体観測が出来、非日常な体験が出来ました。
ヤマピーさんのハレアカラ登頂は3000回を超えているとのこと。安心してお任せできます。
高山病や車酔いを心配していましたが、体調を崩すことなく、そしてお話がとても興味深く、私達の話も熱心に聞いてくれて、終始楽しいツアーとなりました。
またマウイ島に行く際はお世話になります。
ありがとうございました。

Our trip to Lana’i was amazing!
It was an early morning to catch the first ferry of the day. Plenty of seating, plenty of room for our bags. We were off to Lana’i.
Greeted at the docks by our guide, Russ. He went above and beyond. We had bottled water and pastries waiting for us.
We hit shipwreck beach, Garden if the gods, and the Cat Sanctuary. Which is what I expected, but we also had great photo spots, local history and stories. Got to see the beautiful Lanai City. Tour even allowed us time to walk the city, have lunch, do a little shopping. Lastly we got dropped off at the beach, which was the icing on the cake. Beautiful, quiet, safe beach. Great snorkeling. Great tide pool to relax in.
I hate leaving a great review because the whole experience was so wonderful, I don’t want to spoil it. But, because of days like this one, I have so much love and respect for this island and its people. This day was my dream come true. I look forward to returning to the island of Lana’i.
Thank you is not enough. Blessings to this island and its people.

The ferry ride from Maui to Lanai was great. Our tour guide, Russ, met us as we disembarked from the ferry. He provided a great deal of information as he drove us to the different sights on Lanai. After lunch, he dropped us off at the Lanai Cat Sanctuary. We spent a full two hours at the sanctuary interacting with all of the different felines. As a cat lover, I was in heaven. It's very heart-warming to see people making a difference in the lives of the feline and bird populations of Lanai. Russ, then picked us up and returned us to the ferry for our return trip back to Maui. It was a long day (saw the sunrise & sunset) but worth it.

Our guide was wonderful! It was everything we wanted it to be. Our children aged 8 and 10 had the time of their life. It was their first excursion in Hawaii and the one they talked about the most. They said it was the best excursion ever. They loved the guide, the hiking, the swimming, and all the extra experiences they had.

Overall the tour was great. Yoshi was very friendly and had everything needed for those unprepared, which was not us. Hot tea or coffee, blankets, heavy jackets, etc. The tour of the top, views of the craters and everything was great. He stopped on the way up so folks could buy food for dinner. We went from the top down to his secret spot for dinner, arriving about 40 minutes before sunset. Set up the cameras and relaxed while watching a spectacular sunset. Clouds moved in though and it got cold(er) and wet, so he took us down the hill I. Search of clear skies. It rained and we'd given up hope of stargazing when we came out of the clouds and he found a great viewing spot. We spent over an hour looking at various stellar things, as well as Saturn and the moon- the only solar system bodies in view. Overall we had a fun time. Would do again!

The views were spectacular. Our tour guide was exceptional and knowledgeable. He thought of everything (e.g., hot tea, donuts, coats, gloves). He was patient with my teens and ensured all were comfortable and warm. We saw a lot of shooting stars in addition to Venus and several constellations.

This tour was amazing in every way!!! One of our family's favorite tours of all time!! Yoshi was an excellent driver on a rather scary road! Super safe and comfortable ride! Once we were at the top, he did the BEST job of making it a once in a lifetime experience for us. Shared lots of great information, pointed out just where to look at the perfect times. Had chairs, blankets, donuts, hot drinks, coats, you name it...he had it! Took the coolest pictures of our family during the sunset, overlooking the crater, and under the stars! The stargazing was amazing and he was especially great with our youngest as he had a step stool so she could look in the telescope easily and he took extra time with her to be sure she saw all the stars and the moon! If you do one adventure on Maui be sure it is this!!

Yoshi provides such an amazing tour and has every detail down to make sure you have the most amazing and comfortable experience. The trek up Haleakala was amazing slowly climbing above the clouds. The views were indescribable and the sunset views are going to be tough to match. The stargazing was a whole other experience that you just have to try for yourself. So grateful to have had this experience and so glad we chose Maui All Stars Stargazing!

The sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā were breathtakingly beautiful. It was an experience that sharpened all my senses.
The tour was enjoyable thanks to Yamapi's attentive support and engaging conversation, allowing me to reflect on myself. He provided detailed lectures about Haleakalā and the starry sky, making it easy to immerse myself in the experience without getting bored. Additionally, we enjoyed Krispy Kreme donuts and poke bowls along the way, and dining while watching the sunset over Maui was exceptionally delicious.
I definitely want to come back to Maui and participate in this tour again!

My husband and I booked the stargazing tour with Yoshi, and it exceeded our expectations. We live in a place with so much light pollution, we never see more than a handful of stars. We've wanted to see the "dark sky" for a long time. It was just breathtaking. There really are no words and pictures can not do the experience justice. Our guide was super friendly and accommodating. During the drive, stops, and sunset/stargazing he was very informative. This is the tour to choose on your next trip! Ask for Yoshi specifically.

I was guided by Yamachan to Haleakalā. There were three groups with seven people in total: one group from Canada and two groups from Japan. Thanks to the clear guidance in both Japanese and English, I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.
Considering the crowds this time, we skipped Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and headed straight to Haleakalā. First, we stopped by a supermarket and purchased the recommended ahi poke from Yamachan. It was the most delicious ahi poke I’ve ever had! The coffee-flavored Maui cookies I bought at the same supermarket are also highly recommended. I wish I had bought more as souvenirs!
After that, to prevent altitude sickness, we ascended gradually by car. I felt the most dizziness and headache at the 1000m mark, but I had no issues at 2000m and 3000m. The summit was very cold, with a perceived temperature of around 0°C. They provided coats, gloves, and warm tea. I was wearing a hoodie, sweatpants, and a light down jacket, but it was too cold to stay for long, so I recommend preparing warm clothing, including Heattech.
The sea of clouds and the sunset were truly beautiful. The view from the prime spot was a real luxury. I couldn't see the last moment due to the flow of clouds, but I was very satisfied.
The starry sky was so breathtaking that it almost brought me to tears. Thanks to Yamachan's extensive expertise and the specialized telescope I had never seen before, I was able to learn and enjoy more than at a planetarium.
They also took many wonderful photos.
This was a tour that I would definitely want to join again when I visit Maui. Thank you very much.
Just make sure to prepare for the cold...!
ハレアカラ山を山ちゃんさんにに案内して貰いました。3組7人、1組はカナダから、2組は日本からの参加でした。日本語と英語での分かりやすいガイドで終始安心して楽しむことができました。
今回は混雑を考慮しクリスピークリームドーナツは寄らず、そのままハレアカラに向かいました。まずはスーパーに寄って、山ちゃんさんオススメのアヒポキを購入しました。いままでで1番美味しいアヒポキでした!同じスーパーで購入したマウイクッキーのコーヒー味もオススメです✨たくさん買ってお土産にすればよかったくらいでした。
その後、高山病を考慮して車で少しずつ登ってくださいました。1000m地点が1番目眩と頭痛を感じましたが、2000m、3000mは問題なく進むことができました。山頂は体感温度0℃程度でとても寒かったです。コートと手袋、暖かいお茶を用意してくださりました。パーカー、スウェットパンツ、ライトダウンを着用しておりましたが長時間滞在できない寒さだったため、ヒートテックを含めた防寒対策の準備をおすすめします。
足元に広がる雲海、サンセットは本当に美しかったです。特等席でみる景色は本当に贅沢でした。最後の瞬間は雲の流れで見ることが叶いませんでしたが大満足です。
こぼれんばかりの星空には涙が出そうなほど感動しました。山ちゃんさんの豊富な専門と、見たこともない専門的な望遠鏡のお陰で、プラネタリウム以上に学びながら楽しむことができました。
素敵な写真もたくさんおさめてくださりました。
またマウイ島に訪れる際は是非参加したいとと思えるツアーでした。ありがとうございました。
とにかく防寒対策を...!
