ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー　マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる ＜午前／朝食付き／英語ガイド＞

It was a valuable experience. 貴重な経験でした

Reviewed by: Greentea

I participated with my parents in their 70s.

Previously, I had joined a sunset tour at Mauna Kea on the Big Island, so this time I definitely wanted to experience the sunrise.

The sunrise at Haleakalā was truly a precious experience. The sun rising from the magnificent sea of clouds is hard to describe. The space where we waited in the dark, shivering from the cold, transformed into a bright and warm glow with the sun's arrival—it's something you can only understand by experiencing it. The starry sky was also exceptional, but the beauty of the changing colors of the sky is beyond words.

At the summit, there were many tourists reserving spots, and we waited for about an hour. Warm clothing is essential. We prepared winter heat-tech shirts, down jackets, hats, and gloves, but I regretted not wearing two pairs of pants. Hand warmers are also a must, especially for Japanese people who are sensitive to the cold. However, for the trip back and forth, it's better to wear light clothing like a T-shirt, and it's advisable to prepare for changing clothes on the bus since you can leave your luggage there.

One disappointing aspect was that I had requested a Japanese audio guide, but ultimately there was nothing available. I was prepared for the fact that the sunrise tour only had an English guide, but I had a bit of hope since VERTRA's website mentioned one audio guide for every two people. While it was fine to follow along with others to see the sunrise, I could hardly understand the explanations from the guide on the way there and back due to my limited English skills. That was disappointing.

Breakfast was at a golf course, where you can choose your favorite menu items. The breakfast was really delicious. However, the guide didn't manage the seating arrangements well, and we ended up separated into two groups of two and one for breakfast. I understand that it's difficult to expect the same level of detailed service as in Japan, but I wished the guide had put in a little more effort.

The Haleakalā sunset tour in Japanese is also popular. For those who are good at English and okay with a midnight departure, I think the sunrise tour is definitely worth it. However, if I have the opportunity to go to Maui again, I would like to participate in the sunset tour. Alternatively, it might be good to drive to Haleakalā myself since the road is straightforward, so there's no chance of getting lost—just during the daytime.

70代の両親と参加しました。

以前、ハワイ島でマウナケアのサンセットツアーに参加していたので、今回は是非サンライズを、と思って参加しました。

ハレアカラのサンライズは本当に貴重な体験になりました。
雄大な雲海から昇ってくる太陽はなんとも言い難く。真っ暗で寒さに震えながら太陽を待っていた空間が、太陽によって一気に明るくあたたかく輝いたものに変化していくのは、体験してこそわかるもの。星空も抜群でしたが、移りゆく空の色の美しさはなんとも言えません。
山頂には大勢の観光客が場所とりをして、1時間ほど待っています。
防寒具は必須。私たちは冬用のヒートテックのシャツにダウン、帽子や手袋も準備していましたが、それでもズボンを二枚ばきにすれば良かったと後悔しました。カイロも必須です。寒さに過敏な日本人は特にかも。
ただし、行き帰りは普通にTシャツの軽装の方がよく、バス車内で脱ぎ着ができるように準備しておいた方が良いと思います。バスには荷物を置いておけるので。

残念だったこと。
日本語のオーディオをリクエストしていましたが、結局何もないまま。
英語ガイドしかサンライズはないので覚悟はしていましたが、VERTRAさんのHPには2人に1台貸し出し、とあっていたので少し期待していました。サンライズを観るについては、他の人と同じように動いていれば大丈夫だったのですが、行き帰りのガイドさんの説明など、こちらの英語力の乏しさもあって殆どわからず。残念でした。

朝食はゴルフ場で。自分の好きなメニューを選べます。
こちらの朝食は本当に美味しかったです。
ただ、座席の配分をガイドさんが上手に手配してくれず、私たちだけ2人と1人に分かれて朝食を取りました。日本のような細やかなサービスを求めるのは難しいとはわかっていますが、ガイドさんのもう一手間が欲しかったです。

ハレアカラはサンセットの日本語ツアーも人気です。
英語が得意、夜中の出発もOKの方はサンライズツアーも大いにありかと思いますが、今度、もしマウイに行く機会があればサンセットに参加したいと思います。もしくは、ハレアカラを自分でドライブするのが良いかもしれません。道路については一本道ですので、迷うこともなく。ただし日中に。

Reviewed by: akubichan

The stars were very close and beautiful. It felt like they were falling. The weather was nice, and the sunrise was also very beautiful. At the summit, the wind was strong, and the perceived temperature was quite low. I wore Heattech and a down jacket, along with fleece-lined sweatpants, but it was still cold, and I lost feeling in my toes. It might be a good idea to prepare leg warmers, gloves, and a wool hat. I participated alone, and there were no other Japanese people, but everyone on the tour was nice and friendly, and they spoke to me casually. Thanks to that, it turned out to be a fun tour.

とても星が近く綺麗でした。星が降ってくるような感じでした。
お天気も良く日の出もとても綺麗でした。
山頂では風が強く、体感温度はかなり低かったです。ヒートテックにダウン、下は裏起毛のスウェットパンツでしたが寒くて足先の感覚は無くなりました。レッグウォーマーや手袋、毛糸の帽子等の準備はされた方が良いかも。
1人で参加、他に日本人はいませんでしたが、ツアーに参加される方も良い方ばかりで気さくに声をかけていただきました。

セクシーな朝日！ sexy sunrise ！

Reviewed by: fantastic

The sun hid behind the clouds at a crucial moment, but according to our wonderful driver and guide, Neri, we were lucky enough to witness the sexy sunrise, which has only about a 5 percent chance of being seen!

Anyway, on this Haleakalā tour, Neri, the only female driver, was incredibly skilled as a guide and had perfect driving techniques.

The tour was on August 16, and it was really cold; even wearing a Heattech turtleneck and an ultra-light down jacket, I felt like I was shivering. I think it would have been nice to have ear muffs, hand warmers, and something like a blanket or a cape as extra gear.

My fellow passengers were from Germany and the United States (San Francisco, Chicago, etc.), and we all had a great time. The guide spoke in English, and I think I understood about half of it, but it wasn't a problem at all.

太陽は、肝心なところで雲隠れしてしまいましたが、素晴らしいドライバー兼ガイドのネリさんの言によれば、5パーセント程度での確率でしか見ることの出来ないセクシーサンライズ！を拝むことが出来てラッキーでした。
とにかく、このハレアカラツアーで一人しかいないという女性ドライバーのネリさんは、ガイドはこの上なく上手く、ドライブテクニックも完璧でした。
さて、8月16日のツアーでしたが、とにかく寒くヒートテックのタートルネックにウルトラライトダウンを着込んでも震えが来るような体感温度でした。
耳あて、ホッカイロ、毛布ようなマント？のようなものも備えとしてあれば良かったかと思います。
なお、同乗者はドイツ、アメリカ(サンフランシスコ、シカゴなど)のメンバーでしたが、十分に楽しむことが出来ました。
英語のガイドですが、何となく半分程度は理解出来たと思いますが、特に問題はありませんでしたよ。

It was a bit disappointing. 少し残念でした。

Reviewed by: miyuki

The weather was good, but perhaps due to the lack of wind, clouds covered the sky and we couldn't see many stars at the summit. Since the weather is beyond our control, I accepted that. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the guide who suggested we should try again next time. However, at around 1000 meters, we started to see a few stars, so we stopped the car and were able to see the stars again. The guide offered to explain the stars now or to plan for a future visit, allowing everyone to choose.

I felt very humbled, but since we were all meeting for the first time, I thought it would be difficult to choose one option as opinions might differ. There were four groups, and one person from my group said they wanted to proceed with the explanation, but someone from another group suggested we should plan for a future visit, so everyone agreed on the latter. I was fine with the idea of a future visit, but I felt a bit disappointed because I didn't think everyone would be able to return.

Other than that, I thought the attention to detail in the selection of background music and the setup of chairs at the summit was wonderful.

天候は良かったのですが、風があまりなかったせいか雲がかかり山頂で星があまり見えませんでした。天候はどうしようもできないので納得をしています。お心遣い頂き今度リベンジしましょうと言って頂いたのですが、1000mあたりの場所で少し星が見えてきたので、車を停めて頂き改めて星を見せて頂けました。もし良かったら今星の説明をさせて頂くか今度リベンジか皆で選んで下さいとの言葉を頂きました。
非常に恐縮ですが、お互い初めて会った人ばかりで意見は別れる場合もあるのにどちらか選ぶ事は難しいと思います。4グループいて1人の方が今お願いしますと言われましたが違うグループの方がリベンジでと言われたので皆さんリベンジで合わされました。私もリベンジで良かったのですが、皆さんが再訪出来る訳では無いと思いましたので、その点だけ残念に思いました。
その他はBGMの選曲や山頂での椅子のセッティングあらゆる面での説明など事細かな配慮は素晴らしかったと思います。

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

One Maui Morning

Reviewed by: jqgossard

As early as the pick up times for this tour, it was worth it!! The experience to watch the sunrise over Maui and right above the clouds of Haleakala was absolutely amazing!! Shuttle ride up the mountain was perfect to take naps before arriving to the summit. Pick a spot along the fence line as soon as you can because it gets crowded very fast!!

Now...all visitors, PLEASE understand that you are a VISITOR into the home of Hawaiian Islanders, RESPECT their boundaries on their land!!! DO NOT hop over fence lines!! There are barriers for a reason!!
1) They are protecting their island plants and animals as they aren’t very many anymore.
2) STAY OFF SACRED LAND!!! They welcomed you into their home, respect the places you are not allowed to enter!!

Don’t be ignorant!! Respect the land you travel!
There were MANY ignorant people that even when the park representatives came out to get people back over the right side of the fence were ignored!

They opened their home and welcomed you so that you can experience an amazing view, enjoy it by appreciating their hospitality and respecting their boundaries.

The natives will chant as the sunrises, it would be nice for everyone to quiet the conversation and bask in the chant and take in this spectacular experience.

We participated as a family of four. I have experienced various OP tours at different tourist spots in the past, but I can't think of a tour that surpasses Mr. Yamauchi's guidance. Honestly, I did a bit of research beforehand, but it's easy to see why there are so many repeat customers! Participating during a turning point in life or when feeling lost would surely resonate deeply.

The level of our guide, Yamauchi, was high, and we received the best guidance. It was a memorable tour. It was very cold, but the stars seen from the summit of Haleakalā were a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During the explanation of the stars, it felt like something out of Star Wars, with laser beams creating an illusion that the stars were suddenly closer. It was really cool.

It was my first time in Maui. I remember feeling very relieved to have a Japanese tour in Maui, where Japanese is hardly spoken. I heard many stories related to Maui.

It was very cold, but they lent us warm clothing, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to show this to my family. On the way back, everyone was exhausted and sleeping.

I was impressed by Yamapi's high level of hospitality. ヤマピーさんのホスピタリティの高さに感動しました。

Reviewed by: つとむ

It's been mentioned many times, but I think those who are reading this and are inexperienced might not fully grasp it, so I’ll write it down even if it overlaps with other reviews.
"You should participate in this tour while it's available."
"There are only three companies that can conduct stargazing tours: American, Korean, and this Yamapi."
"The entry restrictions for the tour are strict, so you should apply immediately as there's no guarantee you can participate."
First of all, Yamapi mentioned that they might only be able to continue for a few more years, so this wonderful experience is something you can only have now. Among the three companies with operating permits, you can only choose between the American company, which has just started a few years ago, or Yamapi's tour, excluding the rather careless Korean company. However, reaching the summit at 3055m (even by car) is more challenging than you might imagine. There is no more comfortable tour than Yamapi's, which has over 3000 successful runs and exceptional hospitality.
Also, even though it's a tour company, there are limits on the number of people they can take, so booking early is wise.
As for the tour content, it’s not just about being driven to the summit to casually watch the sunset and stars. Along the way, they explain about the towns of Lahaina and Kahului as you ascend the mountain. To avoid altitude sickness, they stop at a donut shop and make multiple restroom breaks, showing great attention to detail. Everyone buys a bento, and for some reason, the timing for the sunset is perfect, which is truly moving. You can also see the green flash, and Yamapi takes photos of each group. It's recommended to bring a digital camera rather than just a smartphone. Enjoy waiting for the night while eating your bento and stargazing. It’s not just about looking up at the night sky. The stargazing experience with two professional telescopes and explanations exceeds all expectations. It’s something you absolutely must see and hear. On the way back, they safely navigate the dark, steep roads.
As I write this, I feel like I’m not conveying the greatness of this tour at all. Please participate, see, hear, and be impressed and moved. Your reason for coming to Maui will be significantly enhanced!

何度も書かれていることですが、おそらくこれを読んでいる未経験者の方々にはピンと来ていないだろうと思いますので、他のレビューと重複するかもしれませんが書いておきます。
『このツアーがあるうちに参加しておくべき』
『星空ツアーが催行できる会社は米国系･韓国系とこのヤマピーさんの三社のみ』
『ツアーの入山規制が厳しくて、必ず参加できるとは限らないからすぐに申し込むべき』
まず、ヤマピーさんもあと数年しか続けられないと話されていますので、この素晴らしい体験が出来るのも今しかないってことです。催行許可を持っている三社の中で、最もいい加減な韓国系は除いて、まだ始めて数年の米国系 or ヤマピーさんのツアーどちらかに参加するしかありませんが、3055mへの登頂は（車で行くとはいえ）想像以上に厳しいのが事実。催行回数3000回を超えるヤマピーさんの経験とホスピタリティに勝る快適なツアーはありません。
また、ツアー会社といえど入山させることが出来る人数には制約上限りがありますので、早め早めの予約が吉です。
肝心のツアー内容ですが、単に車で山頂まで連れて行ってくれてサンセットと星空をぶらぶらと眺めて帰ってくるわけではありません。道中、ラハイナやカフルイの町を解説しながら山の中腹へ。高山病を避けるためにドーナツショップへ立ち寄り、トイレに複数回立ち寄る細やかな気配り。お弁当をみんなで買って、何故かタイミングバッチリのサンセットに感動。グリーンフラッシュも見られますし、ヤマピーさんが一組ずつ写真撮影してくれます。スマホよりはデジカメを持参することがおすすめ。お弁当を食べながら楽しく闇夜を待って、星空鑑賞。ただ夜空を見上げるだけじゃありません。プロ用の望遠鏡を2台使っての解説付き星空鑑賞は期待も想像も軽く超えてきます。絶対見るべき、聞くべきです。帰り道も真っ暗な急な坂道を安全運転でしっかり届けて回ってくれます。
書きながら思いましたが、まったく伝わらない気がしますね、このツアーの素晴らしさが。ほんと参加して、見て、聞いて、感心して感動してみて下さい。マウイ島へ来た意味が格段にアップします！

I was a bit worried about the early morning, or rather late night, pickup, but I was relieved when they arrived earlier than scheduled. Since it was an English tour, I was anxious, but the warm hospitality put me at ease. Also, the driver and guide, Neli, was fantastic!

It was a shame that I only understood about half of what was said, but he talked about important things in Hawaii (probably... haha) in a captivating way, which, combined with the enchanting nature of Haleakalā, made for a mysterious experience. During sunrise, he chanted, and that alone almost brought me to tears. It was truly a great tour. After descending the mountain, we enjoyed breakfast in a lovely place with a view of Haleakalā. MAHALO Nui Loa!!

早朝？というか夜中のピックアップで少し心配でしたが、予定より早く来てもらい安心しました。英語のツアーなので不安でしたが、温かい対応でほっとしました。また、バスを乗り換え、運転手兼ガイド、Neliが最高でした！！
半分ぐらいしかわからなかったのが残念でしたが、ハワイの大切なこととか（多分・・笑）話してくれるのですが、こちらが引き込まれるような語り方に、ハレアカラの幻想的な自然と相まって不思議な体験ができました。また、日の出の時には、チャントを唱えてくれてそれだけで涙が出そうでした。本当にいいツアーでした。山を下りてからの朝食も、目の前にハレアカラを望みながら、雰囲気のいいところでおいしく頂けました。MAHALO Nui Loa!!

Haleakalā Sunset ハレアカラサンセット

Reviewed by: やーさん

I wanted to sign up for the Japanese tour, but it was fully booked with no cancellations, so I reluctantly joined the English tour, which turned out to be the right decision. The van was large enough that I could use two seats by myself, making it quite spacious compared to the number of people, and they provided a Japanese tablet for explanations, so my anxiety about the language was alleviated. The meal at the golf course café was warm and delicious.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the tour, and at times it felt like we were driving through the clouds, so I couldn't see the scenery around us. However, when we reached the summit, the clouds cleared for a short time, and I was able to enjoy the crater and the sunset. The English tour ends at sunset, so we didn't get to see the starry sky, but I didn't feel disappointed since I thought the clouds would have blocked the stars anyway.

It can be cold at the summit, so it's best to dress warmly. There were participants in shorts and short-sleeve shirts who borrowed jackets from the driver, and they looked cold. I also spotted the Japanese tour vehicle at the summit, and compared to the English tour, it seemed smaller and likely cramped since it was fully booked. For those who get motion sickness, I recommend the larger van from the English tour.

日本語ツァーに申し込み希望でしたが、満席でキャンセルもなかったので、仕方なく英語ツァーに参加しましたが、結果的にはこれが大正解でした。
バンは大型で1人で2席が使えるほど人数に比べゆったりとしており、説明も日本語のタブレットを貸していただいたので、英語の不安はなくなりました。
食事もゴルフ場のカフェで温かい美味しくいただきました。
ただ、当日はあいにくの雨天で途中は雲の中を走っているようで周りの景色は見えませんでしたが、頂上に着くと短時間でしたが雲も去り、クレーターと夕陽を堪能できました。
英語ツァーは夕陽までで星空を見ないで帰ってしまいますが、この日は雲で星が見えなかったと思えるので、残念には感じませんでした。
頂上は寒いので防寒はしっかりいておいた方が良いですよ。短パン・半袖シャツで参加されていた方は、運転の方のヤッケを借りましたが寒そうでした。
なお、頂上で日本語ツァーの車を見かけましたが、英語ツァーに比べると小型で、かつ満席で窮屈だったのかなと思えました。
車酔いするかたは、英語ツァーの大きなバンがお薦めです。

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds and the endlessly shining stars. 雲海に沈む夕日と果てしなく輝く星々

Reviewed by: Michi

The weather on the day was not good from the morning, but by the evening, the sun began to peek through the clouds at the summit. The massive crater towards the Big Island was shrouded in gas, so we couldn't see it in its entirety, but in the opposite direction, the orange sunset slowly spread over the sea of clouds far below, briefly glowing green before disappearing. The people watching it appeared like silhouettes against the orange screen. Once it was completely enveloped in twilight, we descended a little from the summit and were treated to a starry sky. The stars shone overwhelmingly, covering the night sky, and the Milky Way flowed across the vast sky like a silver river. After nodding in agreement with my partner, we looked through two telescopes at the Large Magellanic Cloud, Jupiter, and Saturn surrounded by its elongated rings. It was truly an extraordinary experience. Thank you to our driver who explained various things along the way, including Haleakalā and Maui.

当日の天候が朝から良くなかったのですが夕方近くから日差しが見えてきて頂上では雲の隙間から太陽がのぞいてきました。ハワイ島方向の巨大クレーターは、ガスがかかって全体を見ることはできませんでしたが、その反対方向にはオレンジの夕日が足元から広がる雲海の遥か先にゆっくりと、最後に一瞬緑に光って消えていきます。それを見守る人々はオレンジのスクリーンに映る影絵の様相。すっかり夕闇に包まれたころ頂上から少し降りたところで星空を見せてくれました。圧倒的に夜空を覆い尽くして輝く星々、大空を大河のように横切って流れる銀河はまさに銀の河、天の川。「こんなの子どもの頃に見たきりだ」と相方とうなづきあった後、二台の望遠鏡で見せてくれた大マゼラン星雲、木星や縦長の輪に囲まれた土星。
まさに非日常な出来事、体験でした。ハレヤカラやマウイなど様々な事を道中説明してくれたドライバーさん、ありがとうございました。

I signed up with my 84-year-old mother. Although she is healthy, I was worried about whether she would be okay reaching the summit, but our guide, Yama-chan, welcomed us warmly without any signs of discomfort.

Yama-chan's thoughtfulness, the enjoyable conversations on the way to the summit, and the clear and detailed explanations during the sunset viewing and stargazing provided us not only with the beauty of the stars but also with opportunities to reflect on various aspects of life through nature.

This tour requires a permit, and it seems that only 11 people can participate in one vehicle. The other participants were also wonderful people, and we all took turns using the two telescopes without any fuss, marveling at the stars multiple times.

I would love to experience stargazing with Yama-chan again while enjoying our conversations!!!

Sunset viewing at the summit, stargazing tour 山頂夕日鑑賞，星空観測ツアー

Reviewed by: みみこ＠

This was my first time on Maui, and since my previous stargazing experience on Hawaii Island was very impressive, I decided to participate in this tour, which had received high ratings.

We barely made it in time for the sunset due to road conditions, but I was glad to capture the beautiful gradient of the sky in photos. The stargazing I was looking forward to was somewhat limited because the moon was bright, but I was able to see the craters of the moon through the telescope and take pictures, which was nice.

However, I found it a bit uncomfortable that the seating arrangement in the car remained the same throughout the trip. Those sitting in spacious areas could relax comfortably, while those in tighter spots had to place their bags on their laps and were in close contact with the person next to them, making it hard to relax. I wish there could have been a seat change for the outbound and return trips or that a slightly larger vehicle could have been used to accommodate luggage better.

初めてのマウイ島であり，以前のハワイ島での星空観測がとても印象的であったこと，ツアー自体の評価がとても高かったことから参加させていただきました．
夕日鑑賞は道路状況上，ぎりぎり間に合った感じではありましたが，きれいな空のグラデーションを写真に収めることができて，良かったです．
楽しみにしていた星空は，月齢の関係上，とても空が明るかったので星はやや少なめでしたが，その分月のクレーターを望遠鏡で見たり，写真にとることができてよかったです．

ただ，車の席がずっと同じ場所で，広いところに座っている人は車内でゆっくりくつろげ，狭いところに座っていた人は，荷物を自分の膝の上にのせながら，隣の人にがつがつと接触してとてもくつろげるような感じではありませんでした．
出来れば，行きと帰りで席替えをしたり，荷物を置けるようなもう少し大きな車を使用したりすることができなかったのかな，と残念に思いました．

It was cold, but it was good. 寒かったけど良かった

Reviewed by: kensan

The schedule was good, and I didn't suffer from altitude sickness, even as an older person whose body responds more slowly. The sunset and starry sky were also beautiful. As for my thoughts outside of the main topic, I first stopped by a donut shop, but it's a place that's become boring even in Japan. Personally, I found it unremarkable. The souvenir shops I visited along the way were nice.

体の対応が鈍くなる老人にも高山病にもならず、スケジュールが良かったです。夕陽、星空も良く見えました。本題以外での感想です。最初にドーナツ店に入りましたが、日本でも飽きられた店です。私的には？？？。その他の途中に寄った土産店等は良かったです。

The guide, Yamapi, is the best. ガイドのヤマピーさんが最高です。

Reviewed by: 初めてのシーカヤック

On the night of the waxing crescent moon, the moonlight had little effect, allowing us to fully enjoy the starry sky. The views of *** and *** through the GPS-tracking telescope were particularly impressive. I am a Sagittarius, but thanks to Yamapi's careful guidance, I was able to see them for the first time. I would like to participate again when I visit Maui.

上弦の月の日で月明かりもほとんど影響なく星空を堪能することができました。特にGPS追尾機能の望遠鏡で見た＊＊＊と＊＊＊が印象深いです。自分はいて座ですが、ヤマピーさんの丁寧なガイドで初めて目視する事ができました。
また、マウイを訪れたときは参加したいと思います。

I watched the sunset at the summit of Haleakalā and participated in a stargazing tour. Yamapi's stories were wonderful, and I had a fantastic time. I definitely want to join again when I visit Maui.

Awesome!! I want to participate again. 最高!!また参加したい

Reviewed by: iKZT

I participated in this tour during my first trip to Maui. The day of the tour had perfect conditions with a new moon, no wind, and a completely clear sky. Additionally, our guide, Yamapi, was wonderful, and his stories while we gazed at the stars were inspiring and made me feel motivated to keep going. If I come back to Maui, I would love to join this tour again.

初めてのマウイ島旅行でこのツアーに参加。参加日は新月かつ無風で雲ひとつないと言う絶好のコンディションでした。また、ガイドのヤマピーさんの案内も素晴らしく、星空を見ながらのお話は、また頑張ろう、と思える内容でした。
マウイ島にまた来たら、またこのツアーに参加したいと思います。

For my daughter. 娘のために

Reviewed by: Tokokita

Eight years ago, I traveled with my wife and participated in this stargazing tour, which left a strong impression on me. This time, my daughter wanted to see it, so she joined us after traveling from Oahu. She was thrilled by the sunset above the clouds. However, it was unfortunate that the brightness of the moon due to its phase was too strong, and we couldn't see the truly beautiful starry sky. Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was excellent.

８年前に家内と旅行し　この星空ツアーに参加し　非常に感激したのを覚えており　娘に見せたいとの事で　今回同行してくれる娘をオアフから移動しての参加　雲の上の夕焼けに娘は感激
ただ　月齢による月の明かりが明るすぎて　本当にきれいな星空を見せられなかったのは　残念
山内さんの案内　良いですよ--------

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

We wish we went to Hana on our own

Reviewed by: Ahmad Ok

The bus was quite comfortable, but the trip was not much fun, We didn't get to stop in some spots where it seemed interesting, and we were always in a rush when exploring the stops because we need to get back on the bus.

Word of advice, If you don't mind driving in a narrow street then go on your own and enjoy the road to Hana on your own pace

I was able to see Jupiter and Saturn too! 木星、土星もみれました！

Reviewed by: 母娘2人旅

This time, my daughter and I signed up for this highly rated tour as it was our first time on Maui. At Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, we enjoyed freshly made, warm, delicious doughnuts. We decided not to take motion sickness medication since we would be taking breaks on the way to the summit, but my daughter, who is prone to motion sickness, felt a bit nauseous, so I thought it would have been better to take the medicine just in case. Although there were many clouds and we couldn't see the sunset, the colors of the clouds and sky were very beautiful. During the stargazing, we were able to see many stars through a large telescope, including the rings of Saturn and the bands of Jupiter. Later, while listening to our guide's wonderful stories, I had to interrupt to go to the restroom, but I was glad there was a restroom at the summit. I think it's reassuring for those who need to be close to a restroom. This was the best tour I've ever been on, with everything provided, including jackets, tea, and chairs. We also visited the steak and dim sum places that we were recommended, and they were very delicious.

今回娘と2人で、初マウイ島ということで、評価も高いこのツアーに申し込みました。
クリスピークリームドーナツでは、出来立てのホカホカの美味しいドーナツをいだきました。
山頂まで、休み休み行くということで酔い止めは飲まずにいきましたが、酔いやすい娘はちょっとよってしまったので、念のため薬を飲んで行けばよかったと思いました。
雲が多く、夕陽は見れませんでしたが、雲や空の色はとてもきれいでした。
星空観測では、大きな天体望遠鏡で、たくさんの星をみることができ、土星の輪や、木星の線までしっかり見えました。
その後、ガイドさんのとてもいいお話を伺っている途中、トイレに行きたくなり話の腰を折ってしまいましたが、山頂にもトイレがあって良かったです。トイレが近い方にも安心だと思います。
上着やお茶、椅子等、至れり尽くせりの今までで一番のとてもよいツアーでした。
また、教えてもらったステーキやヤムチャのお店も行きました。とても美味しかったです。
