Maui
It was an English tour, but even if you can't speak English, you'll manage just fine. The bus driver and guide was a veteran, and he was kind enough to take pictures at the summit. The dinner was included and it was delicious! The only disappointment was that we couldn't see the starry sky. I really hope they include stargazing in the tour. Also, for those who get motion sickness, I think it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.
英語のツアーでしたが、英語が出来なくても何とかなります。バスの運転手件ガイドさんは、ベテランで、山頂では写真を撮ってくれたりして、親切な人でした。夕食付きでおいしかったですよ!唯一残念なのは、星空をみることが出来なかった事です。是非星空鑑賞もツアーに入れて欲しいです。あと、乗り物酔いする人は酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいと思います。
The ride up is pretty quick with a nice hike to a beautiful small waterfall. A prefect amount of time to take in the scenery before heading to our next stop. There again the prefect amount of time at the waterfall and an easy hike to and from.
My wife, myself and my sister with her husband were able to get this trip. We were told that normally they like to do this trip with 6 people. We had only four in our group but they still ran the trip. We took the early morning van ride to Hana and the helicopter ride back. You can do this trip either way. We had a brand new GMC custom van, it was great. Greg our driver said that this company only has newer vans. The only thing better than a new van was a very experienced driver. Greg was great, he knew all the places to slow down and where you could get the best pictures. My wife and sister are very much into flowers, Greg was very knowledgeable on the subject. Many years ago I drove this road and I missed so much, having a driver/guide is the best way to to this. I have a commercial driving licence so I can recognize and appreciate a professional driver. Lunch was very good and light, you want that for the helicopter flight back. The pilot, Glenda was very smooth and safety was always a big concern. The helicopter company was Blue Hawaiian, top notch outfit. I could not think of one negative comment or even a constructive criticism. Is it cheap no, is it value for your money yes.
There aren't many places to walk, so you can bring elderly people along. On the way up the mountain, we enjoyed a fun car ride where we were introduced to inexpensive souvenirs at a local supermarket and heard local stories about Maui. The sunset from the summit was a breathtaking view from another world. It was wonderful. The stargazing included easy-to-understand explanations using a telescope and a laser pointer. Unfortunately, we were affected by the moonlight, but it seems that if it were a new moon, the starry sky would be amazing. I'm really glad I brought my mother and children along.
歩く所はあまり無いので、年寄りを連れて行けます。山に登る途中に、地元のスーパーマーケットで安いお土産を紹介してもらったり、マウイの地元の話が聞けて楽しい車中でした。山頂からの日没は、別世界の風景でした。素晴らしいです。星空観察は、望遠鏡やレーザーポインターを使った分かりやすい説明でした。生憎月明かりの影響を受けましたが、新月だったら、すごい星空だそうです。母と子供を連れてきて、本当に良かった。
Die Tour war gut arrangiert. Wir wurden überpünktlich abgeholt und unsere Busfahrerin / Tourguide war super freundlich. Sie hat während der ganzen Tour sehr viel über die Gegend erklärt, auf Pflanzen hingewiesen und uns einige alte Legenden näher gebracht. Es gab viele Stopps zwischendurch. Die geschätzte Gruppengröße war 15 Personen.
Der Sonnenaufgang war spektakulär! Den muss man gesehen haben! Eine dicke Jacke bzw. Zwiebellook und geschlossenen Schuhe sind mehr als angebracht.
Das folgende Frühstück im Golfclub war solide. Hätte man aber, da die Tour mit einem frühen Aufstehen verbunden ist, auch gut auslassen können und dafür ein früheres Ende vorsehen können.
Insgesamt hat mir die Tour gut gefallen und ich empfehle sie weiter.
I participated during the waxing crescent moon in December. The starry sky was beautiful, and the explanations were interesting. There were high-performance telescopes that allowed us to see things that are hard to see with the naked eye, making it a great experience. I wish I could have seen the starry sky during the new moon. The sunset was viewed from halfway up the summit of Haleakalā. The scenery was breathtaking. During my visit, there was no option for Grigori Ice, only Krispy Kreme donuts.
12月の上弦の月の時期に参加しました。星空は綺麗で解説も面白かったです。望遠鏡も高性能のものがあって中々肉眼では見れないものが見れ、いい経験でした。願わくば、新月の時の星空を見たかったです。サンセットはハレアカラの山頂途中から眺める感じでした。景色は絶景です。私の時はグリグリアイスのオプションはなく、クリスピークリームのドーナッツでした。
Our driver was not only hilarious, but very knowledgeable. It was a great group on our bus, and was a blast. Good day spent, with some amazing photo opportunities.
A few things to be aware of before you book this excursion:
1) The road is very windy: consider ginger candy or Dramamine if you're prone to motion sickness.
2) Cell phone reception will be terrible.
3) It's very cold at an elevation of 10,000 feet. It was 40degrees for us. Dress warmly.
4) The air is also very thin at 10,000 feet: look out for shortness of breath and dizziness.
3) You may not see a picture perfect sunrise. No one can control the weather or even perfectly predict it. There will also be tons of other people there enjoying the view with you.
With all that in mind, we had a great time. At 3am, our driver picked us up and drop us off right in front of our condo in Kihei (pick up may not be available for your particular location - verify with PolyAd/GrayLine first if this is a dealbreaker for you). Stopped at a Kahului convenience store: buy snacks here if you don't like the pastries/coffee onboard.
Uneventful drive up. The 25-ish seater van/bus is heated, but once we arrived in the parking lot, our driver obviously had to turn off the engine/heat to conserve gas. We arrived 1 hour prior to sunrise, and in that 1 hour, the weather went from so clear and being able to see thousands of stars to sprinkling rain to so foggy I could barely see a few feet in front of me and back and forth. There is a tiny visitors center with giftshop, and restrooms (with ice cold water toilet seats), but not much else to explore. So we hung out on the bus until just a few minutes before sunrise.
The sunrise was partially obstructed by clouds, but the sky and landscape was still so beautiful. 30 minutes after sunrise, our driver drove us up a wee bit higher to the next parking lot for more photos, and then down to a golf course for breakfast. Breakfast was ok - I would have much rather saved my appetite for something else. We were dropped off at our condo at 11am.
We had a great driver and saw a beautiful sunrise from the top of a volcano. It was AWESOME.
All in all a very good experience.. even though when we started it was raining at 3 AM in the morning.. but up there at the Haleakala summit point, weather was just too perfect to have the glimpse of rising sun :)..
Glenn, thanks for keeping us engaged n providing loads of information.. kept us awake most of the time ;)..
I participated on November 19, 2017. Fortunately, there were only four of us: my husband and I, plus an older couple, along with our guide Yamapi's wife as an assistant, allowing for a more intimate experience. After being picked up at the hotel, we drove through the town of Lahaina, hearing about the delicious and not-so-good restaurants there. We made a stop at Krispy Kreme for a break and enjoyed some freshly made donuts.
After that, we bought sushi bento at a supermarket (both the donuts and the bento were included in the tour price), and we headed to our destination. At the Kula Lodge, we purchased souvenirs that can only be found there (though I wondered if they might also be sold at the airport or in Waikiki, the items we bought seemed truly unique). Along the way, we saw a volcanic crater and gradually acclimated to the altitude before reaching the summit.
The initial location we aimed for was very crowded, so we parked in a less populated area, watched the sunset, and after eating the bento we purchased in the car, we enjoyed stargazing. That night, there was almost no moonlight, resulting in a perfect starry sky! Even I, who usually have no interest in stars, was moved. Under the starry sky, I also heard about Yamapi's background. He has faced many struggles to get to where he is now, and since I came on this trip while dealing with significant stress at work, I secretly cried while listening to his story in the dark.
Five years ago, when I went to Mauna Kea on the Big Island, I struggled with the thin air, but this time, I had no issues at all. My first visit to Maui was amazing!!! It might be difficult to return, but I would love to participate again somehow. For those considering this tour, please prepare for the cold!
*By the way, although this tour does not stop there, I highly recommend Ruth's Chris Steak House in Lahaina! Our guide Yamapi also recommended it (there are several locations in Waikiki). Personally, I think it's better than Wolfgang Puck's.
2017/11/19に参加しました。
ラッキーなことに客は私達夫婦+年配のご夫婦の計4人、それにガイドのヤマピーさんの奥様がアシスタントで参加されて少人数で回ることができました。
ホテルでピックアップ後、ラハイナの街を車で通り、ラハイナのおいしいお店・まずいお店をお聞きしながら、休憩兼ねてクリスピークリームドーナツに立ち寄り、出来立てのおいしいドーナツをいただきました。
その後スーパーでお寿司のお弁当を購入し(ドーナツもお弁当もツアー代に含みます)、いよいよ目的地へ向かいます。
クラロッジでは、そこでしか買えないお土産を購入(実は空港やワイキキでも売ってたりして?と思ったけど私たちが買った物は本当にどこにもなさそうでした)、途中火口を見たり少しずつ高所に体を慣らしながら山頂に到着です。
当初向かった場所は大混雑だったため、人の少ない場所に車を止めて、サンセットを見て、車内で購入したお弁当を食べた後、星空観賞です。
その日は月明かりがほとんど無い日だったので、まさに満点の星空!
普段星になんか興味が無い私でも感動しました。
星空の下、ヤマピーさんの今までの経歴なんかもお聞かせいただきました。
とても苦労されて今がある方で、私も仕事で大きなストレスを抱えつつ今回の旅行に来たこともあり、真っ暗闇なのを良いことにこっそり泣きながら話に聞き入っていました。
5年前、ハワイ島のマウナケアに行った時は空気の薄さにヘロヘロでしたが、そんな私でも今回のツアーは全然平気でした。
初のマウイ島、最高でした!!!再訪するのは難しいですが、何とかもう一度参加したいです。
このツアーを検討中の方、防寒準備して行ってください!
※ちなみにこのツアーで立ち寄ることはありませんが、ラハイナのルースズクリスステーキは超オススメです!ガイドのヤマピーさんもオススメしてました(ワイキキにも何店舗かあります)。
個人的にはウルフギャングよりもおいしいと思います。
My husband and I did this for our hunnymoon and it was great. Great tour guide. He was very good, funny and very knowledgeable.
Wayne was excellent, a lot of knowledge and made the trip very fun! Would recommend this trip and service to others, only negative was that the breakfast was ok, service and decent and core of the golf course was nice. Overall excellent t experience
I was really glad to meet our guide, Yama P. We had a wonderful time discussing not only Maui and Haleakalā but also various memorable topics that touched the heart. I was drawn in by Yama P's background and the inner conflicts he shared, which made me feel a strong sense of connection. Of course, the beautiful sunset and the breathtaking starry sky were also amazing. Weather can be a matter of luck, but I was fortunate to have clear skies and stunning views during my visit.
ガイドの山Pさんに会えて本当に良かったです。マウイのこと、ハレアカラのこと、天体のことだけでなく、心に残るいろいろなことを話していただき、すばらしい時間を過ごせました。
山Pさんの経歴やご自身の中にある心の葛藤などにも引き込まれ、非常に親近感がわきます。
もちろん美しいサンセットと感動の星空も最高でした。
天候ばかりは運になってしまいますが、私のときは快晴でとても綺麗に景色が見えて非常にラッキーでした。
I searched for a Japanese tour, but it was already too late and everything was sold out! I reluctantly chose the English tour, but there was only one American couple besides me. The driver and guide was considerate and let me sit in the front seat. I had no time to relax as I was immersed in English. Since I am Japanese, I was really impressed by the slow and easy-to-understand English guide. He was an American who had moved from California 25 years ago. His English was clear. The couple was kind, and I didn't feel lonely at all. The scenery on the way to Hana through the rainforest was amazing. The guide let me taste bananas ripened on trees that can only be found there, and we stopped at a stall where I could enjoy pure coconut ice cream. In the end, instead of dropping me off at my hotel first (Kahului), he went out of his way to take me to Wailea, where the American couple was staying, to show me the sunset in Kihei, and then he even took me back to Kahului! It was a fantastic day with great people and a wonderful tour. It might have been a coincidence, but it was truly great. For someone familiar with the area, it might be a bit surprising. Thank you! ❤️
日本語ツアーを探しましたが、時既に遅しで全てsold out! 仕方なく英語ツアーを選んだのですが、私以外アメリカ人のカップル一組だけ。 ドライバー兼ガイドさんが気を遣ってくれて私を助手席に。 さすがに気を抜く暇もなく英語に浸っておりました。 私が日本人なので、とにかくゆっくり分かりやすい英語ガイドに感激。 彼はカリフォルニアから移住して25年のアメリカ人。 英語が分かりやすかったです。 カップルも優しく、寂しさを感じることなく過ごせました。 レインフォレストを抜けてハナに向かう道々も最高な景色でした。 ガイドさんがそこでしか味わえない木で熟れたバナナを食べさせてくれたり、ピュアなココナッツアイスを食べれる露店に寄ってくれたり。 最終的には私が最初にホテルに送ってくれるはずが(カフルイ)、キヘイの夕日を見せてくれるために、アメリカ人カップルがステイしているワイレアに行って、わざわざ最後に送ってくれたり(カフルイまで戻ってくれた!)。 ツアーも人も最高な一日でした。 たまたまかもしれませんが、本当に良かったです。 ここの土地勘が分かる人にはちょっとびっくりかも。 感謝♡
Our group consisted of four people: my spouse and I, along with another young couple, and the guide's wife participated as an assistant. The guide, likely with a wealth of experience, had everything meticulously planned and prepared, allowing us to enjoy a safe and pleasant time. We climbed to the summit at around 3,000 meters in about an hour and a half, making stops at souvenir shops and a supermarket to choose sushi bento for dinner (included in the price) to gradually acclimatize to the altitude.
On the day of the tour, we encountered light rain on the mountainside, but with the guide's skillful driving and cheerful explanations, we reached the summit, where we found a blue sky above the clouds. We avoided crowded tourist spots and enjoyed the sunset from a quieter location, savoring sushi bento along with warm Japanese tea. Afterward, we took turns looking through telescopes while the guide explained various stars and constellations.
Two years ago, we participated in a sunset tour at Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii, where the summit is at 4,000 meters and the air was quite thin, making it difficult to breathe. In comparison, Haleakalā was much more comfortable. Additionally, there is a discount for seniors, making this tour highly recommended for older travelers.
うちの夫婦と、もう1組の若いご夫婦の計4人の客に、ガイドの奥様がアシスタントで参加されました。ガイドさんはおそらく多くの経験を積まれているのでしょう、非常に周到に計画され準備されていて、安心して楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。3000メートル級の山頂まで1時間半ほどで登っていきますが、高度に徐々に慣れるように、土産物店に寄ったりスーパーで夕食の寿司弁当(料金に含まれています)選びに立ち寄ったりします。
当日は途中の山腹で弱雨にあいましたが、霧の中を巧みな運転で不安なく、軽快な口調の説明を聞きつつ登った山頂は、雲の上の青空でした。多くの観光客がいる場所を避けて、人が少ない場所からゆっくりとサンセットを楽しみ、暖かい日本茶のサービスとともに寿司弁当をいただいたのち、交替で望遠鏡をのぞきながら多くの星や星座を解説してもらいました。
私たちは2年前にハワイ島のマウナケアのサンセットにも参加し、マウナケアは4000メートル級で山頂の空気が薄くでかなり息苦しかったのですが、それに比べればハレアカラははるかに快適でした。また熟年者には割引料金のサービスもあり、高齢者に優しいツアーとしておすすめします。
Others have praised it in their reviews, and I think that's true. It's a shame that my child was too small and fell asleep. We'll participate again when they are older.
口コミでもほかの方が絶賛していますが、その通りだと思います。残念なのは子供が小さすぎて寝てしまったこと^^;
もっと大きくなったらまた参加します^^
For our honeymoon, we wanted to try the Haleakalā summit tour on Maui. We debated between the sunset + stargazing or sunrise, but since we wanted to get a good night's sleep and had a feeling that the sunset would be more beautiful, we chose that option.
The group size was just right, allowing us to see everyone's faces, and our guide was great at sharing stories, making the time pass without diminishing the excitement of the participants. It was also nice to receive recommendations on what to buy at the supermarkets and souvenir shops along the way.
The sunset was stunning, although I felt like the sun set a bit earlier than expected. Still, it was thoroughly enjoyable. However, the true highlight of the tour came afterward. In complete silence, when I looked up at the pitch-black sky for the first time, the awe I felt was indescribable. Surrounded by stars, we observed them through a telescope while receiving explanations about various constellations. It was quite cold at the summit, but they provided warm clothing, and I was so moved that I forgot about the chill, and time flew by.
I am grateful to our guide for their excellent storytelling and to have been blessed with good weather (it seems the participants from the previous day had a tough time due to poor weather).
On the way down from the summit, I fell asleep feeling a sense of satisfaction and emotion, wrapped in a relaxed mindset that life is too short to rush.
I think it would be wonderful to bring our parents next time. This was one of the few optional tours that left us very satisfied, and I highly recommend it for honeymoons (though it might be a bit tough with small children).
今回新婚旅行でマウイ島に行くにあたり、やってみたかったのがハレアカラ山頂ツアーでした。
サンセット+星空かサンライズで迷いましたが、夜はちゃんと寝たいし、なんとなくですがサンセットの方がきれいそうだなというくらいの気持ちで選びました。
参加人数も多すぎず、全体の顔も見渡せますしガイドさんのお話も上手で、車内でも参加者の楽しみな気持ちを減衰させることなく時間が過ぎていきました。
ところどころでよるスーパーやお土産屋さんでもどういったものがオススメかなど説明してもらえたのも良かったです。
サンセットもとてもきれいでしたが、少し日が落ちるのが早かったのかな?という印象ではありましたが十分堪能できました。
これだけでも比較的満足度は高かったのですが、このツアーの本領はこの後でした。
あたりは一切物音もしなくなり、完全に静まり返った中で初めて真っ暗闇の中空を見上げた時の感動は言葉では言い表すのが難しいほどのものでした。
あたり一面に広がる星に包まれ、いろんな星の説明を受けながら天体望遠鏡でその星を観察する。山頂はだいぶ寒かったですが、防寒具なども準備していただき、感動でそもそも寒さを忘れるほどであっという間に時間が過ぎていました。
終始上手にお話ししていだけたガイドさんへの感謝と、本当に天候にも恵まれ(前日参加の方々は天候に恵まれずつらいツアーとなったようです)た偶然に感謝感謝です。
山頂から降りる車の中は満足感と感動と、生き急いでも仕方ないよなというおおらかな気持ちに包まれながら寝てしまいました。
次は両家の両親を連れて行ってあげられたらすてきだなと思える、数少ないオプショナルツアーで非常に満足のいくものとなりました、新婚旅行などにオススメだと思います(小さい子連れだと少ししんどいかもしれません)。
Fortunately, the weather was good, and the sunrise from the summit of Haleakalā was wonderful. The breathtaking view of the sky from an elevation of 3,000 meters after the sun had fully risen was grand and mystical.
However, there were some disappointing aspects of the tour. 1) The pickup at the hotel (Westin Resort) was scheduled for 2:45 AM, but the bus arrived close to 3:30 AM. I called the emergency contact, but no one answered, and I was left waiting with another American couple. After the bus arrived, the driver and guide did not offer any apology, which I found frustrating. 2) When we finally boarded the late bus, it was almost over capacity. My wife and I were seated separately, and I was next to a 3L-sized American, making the interior extremely cramped. I sincerely hope for improvements for those who participate in this tour in the future.
幸い天候も良く、ハレアカラ山頂からのサンライズは素晴らしかったです。太陽が完全に昇りきった後の天空を標高3000mから眺める絶景は壮大で神秘的でした。
ツアー全体として残念だった事はあります。①午前2:45にホテル(Westin Resort)へピックアップでしたが、バス到着は午前3:30近く。緊急連絡先に電話するも誰も出ず、別のアメリカ人カップルと待ちぼうけ。バス到着後、運転手兼ガイドから詫びの一言もなく、コンプレインした次第。②ようやく遅れて来たバスに乗り込むと、ほぼ定員オーバー状態。妻と二人でしたが、席はバラバラとなり、横には3Lサイズのアメリカ人が座っていた為、車内は大変窮屈極まりなかったです。今後本ツアーへ参加される方々の為に、改善を切に要望します。
Thank you very much for joining our tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
Upon confirming the situation with the local operating company, it was found that, as you mentioned, we arrived late at your pickup location. The bus was significantly delayed because we had to wait for you at several hotels we stopped by before picking you up. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused during your trip. To ensure that customers are not kept waiting for long in the future, I have requested the operating company to improve their operations for smoother transfers.
I understand that there were more passengers than the capacity, but I hope you can understand that the 25-seat bus was full that day.
We take your feedback seriously and will strive for further service improvement, including pre-tour meetings. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

It was truly a wonderful starry sky. I thought it would be cloudy on the day I participated, but above the clouds, it was clear, and I could see the Milky Way and shooting stars clearly. The Earth shadow appeared after sunset, and seeing the shadow of the Earth felt like a cleansing experience for my heart. While watching the stars and listening to the guide's stories, I was moved to tears. I heard it would be cold, so I layered up with sweatshirts and down jackets, which kept me warm enough to enjoy the night sky. Before heading to the mountains, we stopped by a supermarket and a souvenir shop, and the supermarket had good prices!
本当に本当に素敵な星空でした。参加した日はあいにくの曇りと思っていましたが、雲の上は晴れていて天の川も流れ星もくっきり見えました。
日が沈んだ後に現れるアースシャードー、地球の影も見え心が洗わられるような気持ちでした。ガイドの方のお話を聞きながら星を見ていると、涙が出ました。寒いと聞き、スエットやダウンを重ね着したので寒さも感じず、夜空を楽しむことが出来ました。山に行く前にはスーパーやお土産屋さんにもよるので、スーパーは値段も安くて良かったです!
Haleakalā had bad weather, so we couldn't see the sunset. However, I thought it was impressive how the guide skillfully found a spot for stargazing by slightly changing locations. The tour progressed smoothly, and I felt the guide was very capable. I'll try again next time for a revenge trip.
ハレアカラは天気が悪くサンセットは見れませんでした。
しかし、微妙に場所を変えて星空観測する場所を臨機応変に見つけるあたりプロだなと思いました。ツアーの進行もストレスなく力量のあるガイドさんだなと感じました。
また今度リベンジします。
The tour content was changed, and it ended up being a tour that only visited Haleakalā National Park. If that was the case, I would have preferred not to have the tour at all. Alternatively, I would have appreciated a change in destination to include visits to other places or some consideration like a discount or an earlier return. It was disappointing that there was no consideration for only visiting one location.
ツアー内容が変更されて、ハレカエラ国立公園だけに訪れたツアーであった。それで有れば、ツアーを結構しないで欲しかった。或いは、行き先を変更してでも、他の場所の訪問や見学を入れる。ディスカウントする。早く帰って来る。とかの配慮が欲しかった。一ヶ所しか行かないなら、それに対する配慮も無く、残念でした。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
Upon confirming the situation with the local operating company on the day of the tour, it appears that, as stated on our activity page, the Iao Valley was closed, and instead, you were guided to the Kula Marketplace. We are very sorry that the tour you were looking forward to did not meet your expectations. Additionally, we deeply apologize for the insufficient explanation regarding the schedule change from the guide on the day.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

I chose this sunset tour because I'm not confident about waking up early for sunrise.
The scenery depends on the weather, so it might be up to your luck, but if you go, it's better to bring a coat. It's cold.
サンライスに早起きは自信がないから、サンセットのこのツアーを決めた。
景色は天気によるものなので、あなたの運の次第かもしれませんが、
行くなら、コートを持っていたほうがいいです。寒いですから。
The guide was Mr. Yamapi, and it was a wonderful experience. It was cold, but we were able to drive up to 3055 meters, and the starry sky we saw there was amazing.
ガイドが山Pさんで、とても素敵な体験ができました。寒かったけど、車で3055mまで行け、そこで見た星空は最高でした。
This is a must for anyone traveling to Maui. Wayne was our driver and guide. He is full of all sorts of information and kept us entertained the whole trip. The view of the sun rising above the clouds high atop a volcano, made this one of our most memorable moments in Hawaii. The trip concluded with an awsome breakfast .
This is so worth your time and money! Awesome! The view was spectacular and the driver made it so much fun!
After the very early start, we made our way to the top of the volcano. The tour drivers name was Bessie, and she was very enthusiastic, sometimes going overboard. The sunrise was a bit late but the whole experience was great, but very cold. After the tour, we were taken for breakfast at a golf club, which was very nice. We then were loaded on another bus for our drop of at accommodation. This was a very slow time. We did not get back to the resort until 12 noon, and this turned out an extremely long day.
Had a great time on this trip. So informative and the view at sunrise was breathtaking.
It's taken me several trips to Maui to make it to Hana. Why? The idea of spending all day driving my car on a dangerous road with 54 one-lane bridges and 600+ turns (meaning I couldn't even enjoy the scenery) just didn't appeal. But then someone recommended this tour...Instead of driving yourself on this treacherous road (and trust me, with all the amateurs out there it is treacherous), you ride in a comfortable passenger van with an incredibly knowledgeable and enjoyable guide. Instead of driving 3 hours to Hana and 3 hours back along the same route, you take a helicopter for one of the legs and see breathtaking aerial views of this gorgeous island. The tour is well planned, the meals yummy (even the vegetarian and gluten free options were fantastic), and the people were top notch. My only complaint was waiting almost an hour after check in at the heliport to get going. Otherwise, it was a perfect activity.
It might not have been Yamapi, but the person who came to pick me up was indeed Yamapi, known from Hawaii Love! The conversation in the car was interesting, and even though it was a long tour, I was entertained the whole time! I want to participate again with my family!
ヤマピーじゃないかも、との情報でしたが迎えに来てくれたのはハワ恋でお馴染みのヤマピーでした!
車の中での話も面白く、長いツアーでしたが飽きることなく楽しませてもらいました!
また、家族を連れて参加したいな~!!
This was such a spectacular trip. Our tour guide Netti wend over and beyond to make this experience special for everyone. I highly recommend this experience!
