We were fortunate enough to have had a new moon and clear sky up on Haleakalā back in September. We had breathtaking views of Milky Way, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Andromeda galaxy, and much more thanks to our amazing guide, Yoshi! Yoshi brought us a box of donuts and served us hot tea throughout the night. We were a bit fearful of driving down from the summit in the dark, but Yoshi led the way and made us feel very safe. This was easily one of our most memorable experiences during our visit to Maui and highly recommend it!

Really memorable experience! Driver/guide was very accommodating, polite, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor! Word of advice for attendees- bring motion sickness medicine and take in advance! Very winding road going up and coming down, elevation makes it worse and people who typically do not get motion sick got motion sick! Tour guide had ginger chews, and barf bags, which helped, but wish I had remembered my Dramamine! The summit was absolutely breathtaking and we stopped at every cool place to take pictures! They had us stop at a perfect little shop to buy snacks and souvenirs and it was by far my favorite shop from the whole trip! Lots of Hawaii home grown products! Would recommend this tour 100%!

Love this trip! Our driver was fun and talk to the group the whole trip, was worth waking up so early to experience this. Highly recommended! Just wear a winter jacket because it is really cold! Almost like a NY winter

Family had a fun time on the hike, very cool and guide was great. Customer service was not good though, I called 3 days prior because I injured my knee. I was told I would be able to do the hike it would be a moderate hike but doable. The day of I couldn't bend my knee so I stayed back, my husband was told no refund even though I let them know 3 days before that I had an injury. Had they not encouraged me I would have canceled the day I called, that is why I was calling them. In the end when Veltra contacted them they fully refunded my money. It was greatly appreciated!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! First you get to drive up 10k feet up Haleakala and view amazing landscapes, be above the clouds and then watch the sunset. Guide, Yoshi (not sure if spelling correctly) was amazing! Has been doing this tour for 20 years. Very laid back, knowledgeable, and offers up various spots for photos. He has very good equipment for star gazing. He sets everything up, provides winter jackets and even coffee and tea. We got to see Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Andromeda galaxy and much more. Would recommend to anyone! We spent about 1 hour of the tour star gazing and other tours were already gone while we were still up there. Absolutely amazing!

In August, my family of four participated. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no other participants, just us. We received a notification that the weather on the scheduled day was deteriorating, so we had to change our arrival to the following day. Thanks to that, we were able to see a beautiful sunset.

During the stargazing afterward, it was very enjoyable to listen to Yamapi's explanations while looking at the surface of the moon. It was a bit disappointing that the full moon was too bright, making it hard to see the stars clearly, but we were able to feel the power of the moon!

It became the best memory of our time in Maui!

8月に家族4人で参加しました。コロナ禍という事もあり、他の参加者はおらず私達だけでした。予定していた日の天候が崩れると連絡を頂き、急きょ到着翌日へ変更となりました。おかげ様で美しいサンセットを見ることができました。
その後の星空観測では、ヤマピーさんの説明を聞きながら月の表面を見たりとても楽しかったです。満月が近く、月が明るすぎてあまりハッキリと星が見えなかったのが少し残念でしたが、月のパワーをもらえました！
マウイ島での最高の思い出になりました!

Ernie was our tour guide and he was awesome! So informative and knowledgeable and educated us the entire time about the plants, fruits and land. You left feeling connected to the island and wanting more! So welcoming, so great. Besides the many waterfalls, black sand beach and Ernie as our guide it was well worth every penny!

My wife and I had an amazing time on this private tour of the road to Hana. Ana did an amazing job and was super cool and friendly!! Got to hit a lot of the spots we wanted to see, including the bamboo forest, swimming in waterfalls, tidal pools, lunch and banana bread from Aunty Sandy's. Sampled some fresh guava off the the side of the road Awesome views. Also, Ana, loved talking movies and tv shows with you! Great times!!

We had an amazing personalized tour of Maui driving through the Hana Road. Gus and AnnaLisa both provided a fantastic narrative of the beautiful island of Maui from the lush rain forest to the beach and circled entire island. Stopped at wonderful places for local banana bread to ice cream and BBQ lunch as well as local island coffee. Enjoyed hearing about Maui’s culture, history, plants and flowers. Not to mention the breathe tasting scenery with personalized photos. Very social distance friendly and felt completely safe throughout the tour. Highly recommended.

This is the way to do the Road to Hana. We did the late trip, meeting at the airport at 10:45am. We flew out at 11:30, landing in Hana just after 12. The flight was spectacular and our pilot was knowledgable and personable without being overwhelming.

We landed and met our driver who took us to the park for a great lunch. Our driver was exceptional and we learned a lot on our trip back.

I've done this as drive out and back, but the flight followed by the drive is the way to go.

Michael was the perfect host/guide/photographer! He is full of knowledge about Hawaii history, geography, flora, and fauna, AND was the perfect complement to an amazing natural display of light. My family (wife and two adult kids) highly recommend.

Sean was our guide and he was fantastic!!!
Very knowledgeable! We were shocked when he said he has only been on the island for 5 years. We thought he was living there a lot longer with the vast amount of information he gave us. He was very patient with us slower people, lol! Thank you Sean for a wonderful experience.

Very unique experience not to be missed while traveling to Maui. Completely different from anything else on the island and I highly recommend it. Having a driver was great just so we can spend more time looking around and he knew several of the places to stop that we otherwise would have had no idea about. Also places do not stop, they were covered in tourist and other things. Our driver and the service did a great job.

The sunset sightseeing tour was amazing! It was a great experience to be above the clouds. I rated 3 stars because the road is winding and the tour guy drove pretty fast. I took Dramamine before the trip but still got motion sickness and a terrible headache!

Wonderful experience. We were told to book early for any tours that we wanted to do while in Maui. We thought Haleakala was off the table because we could not find a sunrise tour. Fortunately I kept looking and found this sunset tour. Even better, didn’t have to wake up before 2 AM. Bonus. Kama our tour guide was wonderful and had lots of great information about the mountain and it’s rare plant life as well as tips for the rest of our trip. He treated us like we were family. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was a great tour. From the check in, to Mo who told us so much information this was a great experience. The ride was comfortable and they even brought water in case someone got thirsty. We got to sample pineapple and even take one with us. Well worth your time and money to take this tour.

Most people do the sunrise, but I would have to argue the sunset tour lives up close to the the sunrise. The stargazing was amazingly clear on our tour! The guides know what to present and really give some awesome detail of the history of Haleakala. We had a 5 year old and she loved the experience of being so close to the night sky above. I would recommend dressing warm, for you may get hot when the sun is setting but won't regret it at night, it definitely gets cold up there!
Also, BRING FOOD. They are not lieing, it is a long night ahead of you and you will be definitely sad if you get hungry because not much is open once the tour is done.

Great spectacular experience especially when they begin to sing a chant while the sun is coming out of the clouds. Our tour guide Alfredo (aka Al Pacino) is really knowledgeable and funny and entertaining. Great tasty food too during our breakfast with nice botanical gardens. I will definitely recommend this tour. Cheers.

This was the most moving tour I've ever experienced in my life! Choosing the sunset instead of the sunrise was definitely the right decision! I was able to fully enjoy the calm sky without any wind. I learned so much about the wonders of the starry world, and it felt like my family and I absorbed energy from Maui's nature. The next morning, we were all surprised to feel as if our hearts had been cleansed. I truly felt the power of this spot, and Haleakalā is my number one place I want to return to in Hawaii! I am filled with gratitude for our professional guide. Thank you so much!

こんな感動するツアーは今までの人生で初めてでした！サンライズではなくサンセットにして大正解！！風もなく穏やかな空を満喫することができました。星の世界の素晴らしさもたっぷり教えていただき、マウイの自然の中でエネルギーを吸収することができたのか、翌朝、家族全員が心が洗われたような感覚を持っていて驚きました。パワースポットのすごさを実感でき、
ハワイでまた戻って来たいと思う場所No1はハレアカラです！
プロフェッショナルガイドさんに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
本当にありがとうございました！

Our driver Al was simply the best. This was a private tour for my family of seven. Highly
Recommend it! He was attentive and knowledgeable about the timing and when to go out to see the sunrise and where to stand to avoid the crowd. The breakfast at Kula Lodge was delicious!! The whole experience was first class! Will highly recommend.

Fun tour, beautiful views you wouldn't know about with out the tour guide.

As part of our 25th anniversary week in Maui we booked this early morning excursion. It certainly did not disappoint. The tour guides were informative and courteous. They took us to the best spot for the sunrise, got a great action shot of us “jumping off” The side of the volcano.
We were given great instructions as to how to get back to the bike shop. We had a nice time leisurely coming down. Stopped at a really nice spot for breakfast then proceeded into the town did some shopping grab a snack at the bakery and got back to the shop in plenty of time.

First, we flew to Hanna with a great pilot guide and then turned over to an awesome guide for a van ride back to the heliport. He knew where all the best spots for pictures, views, and waterfalls were. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Our morning waterfall hike was fabulous. Tony was an amazing guide and spent lots of time answering our questions. We have 14, 11, and 6 year old kids and the hike was the perfect amount of time and difficulty for all of them to enjoy it. We loved learning about the history of the area, the agriculture, and experiencing it all firsthand. This was a highlight of our trip.

Sean was a great tour guide. He was very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help us in any way. I would highly recommend this excursion.

We had a great time! It was are 1st time Kayaking for all of us, and we got to see a lot ot turtles and sea life! The hike was amazing! Sarah was very friendly and informative with great recommendations for places to visit and places to eat! The hike, lunch ,and water adventure exceeded are expectations! We hope to come back for are 35th anniversary with the whole family and do this tour again!

Overall the tour was great. We hit all of the major stops and the guide offered to take us to additional stops along the way. Was an incredible and breathtaking trip! Only one star off since the driver was a bit overzealous about being punctual. I completely understand (and appreciate!) the need for the group members to be on time; however, the stern tone from the guide at 7:01AM for a 7AM pick up was a bit of a rough start to the day. Nevertheless, would recommend this trip to anyone.

Gus was so knowledgeable and personable. The weather didn’t cooperate, we saw as much as we could and then he took us to see sea turtles on a local beach. Gus provided local snacks, bottled water, and a great Maui history lesson.

Ken was our guide and was very personable and attentive to our questions. The pineapples are wonderful. Would highly recommend the tour. Will and Lori from North Carolina

The driver this time was friendly and very knowledgeable. It's an English tour, and I recommend it. The bus was spacious and comfortable. Since it was a tour with dinner, we couldn't see the starry sky, but aside from that, there were no issues.

今回の担当ドライバーは，フレンドリーで知識も豊富でした。英語のツアーですがお勧めです。バスもゆったりとして快適でした。ディナーがあるツアーなので星空は見ることができませんでしたがそれを除けば問題なしです。
