Maui
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!
The area is so beautiful it would be hard to mess up! Lots of stops at lovely places.
Judy was great, we had a lot of fun. Lots of time traveling, but enough stops to still be worth it
Our tour guide Travis totally made this day and excursion memorable. It was a long day but was filled with history, phenomenal sites and entertainment provided by our guide. One of the best excursions on the island by far!
My husband and I participated together. The stars were beautiful. Yamapi's guidance was also excellent.
We arrived in Maui at 12:00. After picking up our luggage, it took 40 minutes by taxi to the hotel. Although our pickup was at 3:00 after check-in, we climbed Haleakalā on the first day, so I felt like we quickly got accustomed to Maui. It was wonderful from the very first day.
主人と二人で参加しました。星が綺麗でした。ヤマピーさんのガイドも最高でした。
マウイ島着12:00。荷物をピックアップしタクシーでホテルまで40分。チェックイン後3:00のお迎えでしたが、初日にハレアカラに登ったので、すぐにマウイ島に慣れることができたような気がしました。初日から最高でした。

This tour was absolutely amazing! Our driver was phenomenal, knowledgeable, entertaining and definitely made you feel safe on the long road up and down the mountain. The views were breathless, there are no words to describe how absolutely stunning the sunset was. Mahalo Maui.
I previously participated in the stargazing and sunrise tour, and it was amazing, so I wanted to relive that experience by joining the sunset and stargazing tour. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the sunset was a bit disappointing because of the clouds, and I thought the stargazing would be beautiful since it was close to a new moon, but we ended up seeing it at a lower elevation where the clouds were present, which was half of what we could have seen in the national park. After experiencing a sky full of stars once, I felt a bit let down. However, the guide's stories and explanations about the stars were very detailed and enjoyable, and their attentiveness was remarkable, so I plan to participate again. The stop at the donut shop and shopping at the club were also very nice. Additionally, even though I met the other participants for the first time, it was a fun tour with a friendly atmosphere. If only the stars had been visible, it would have been a five-star tour! ⭐︎
以前星空とサンライズに参加してスゴくよかったので、あの感動をと思いサンセットと星空に参加しました。残念ながらお天気の関係でサンセットは雲で微妙で星空は新月近いので綺麗に見えると思っていたのですが、雲で国立公園も出た標高が半分のところで観ました。一度満天の星空を経験した後だったので、残念だなと思いました。ガイドさんのお話しや星の説明はとても詳しくたのしかったし、気遣いもすごく行き届いたものだったのでまた参加するつもりです。途中寄ったドーナツ屋さんやクラでのお買い物もとてもよかったです。また、一緒に乗り合わせた方々とも初対面なのに和気あいあいとして楽しいツアーでした。星空さえ見えたら５星のツアーです⭐︎

This was a great Tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable as well as helpful.
I would recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful time on our Taste of Hana Tour with Hailey! She was a very safe expert driver with lots of fun information to give. We saw some amazing things and my family couldn't have done it without her. We really had an awesome time!! Thank you, Hailey, for your courtesy and knowledge!
Thank you so much for your review! We really appreciate you taking the time & making the effort to share your experience with others. We love Haley too! She is a great guide... filled with knowledge, humor, patience and a sense of adventure! Wishing you all the best.... The Holo Holo Gang
I really enjoyed participating! However, since it's an English tour, some understanding of English is necessary. The guide also took great photos at Haleakalā.
参加して非常に良かったです！ただ、英語のツアーのため、多少の英語の理解力は必要かと思われます。ガイドさんがハレアカラで上手に写真も撮ってくれました。

Best way to do the road to Hana.
Steve is a great driver/guide.
Pickup time came and went. We had to call to remind that we had made a booking. And the pickup only came at 750 am which was 50 minutes after pickup time.
Aloha,
Thank you very much for taking the time to post about your experience. We apologize for the pick-up being delayed and we have shared your feedback with the activity provider to better so they can better serve future guests.

This was a tour I had been interested in for a long time, recommended by a senior colleague. It was my second time at Haleakalā.
The first time, I visited Maui for a day trip and drove there. I saw a sky full of stars, but since I didn't have any knowledge about stars and had to catch a flight back, I only looked at the stars for about two minutes while descending, thinking, "Wow, it's beautiful!" before quickly returning to the car.
This time, for my second visit to Haleakalā, I knew from the beginning that it would be a full moon, and I participated in the tour for the first time. I could only see bright stars with the naked eye, but through the telescope, we were shown various stars, searched for Mickey in the full moon, and since we lacked knowledge about stars, we learned a lot from the explanations. Listening to the guide's stories helped reset my mind. Hearing from someone with so many experiences is truly valuable!
Due to my husband's work schedule, I can't plan trips around the new moon in advance, but I hope to go again when the new moon comes around.
I'm grateful to the senior colleague who recommended the tour! Thank you very much, Yamapi-san!!
先輩におすすめされて参加したずっと気になっていたツアーです。ハレアカラは2回目。
1回目は日帰りマウイ島でレンタカーで行きました。この時満天の星空を見ましたが、星の知識がなく、また帰りの飛行機の時間があった為、2分くらい下山途中に見て、あぁ綺麗！と感動して即車内に戻りました。
今回の2回目のハレアカラは、初めから満月だと分かっていてツアーに初参加。明るい星しか肉眼では見えませんが、望遠鏡で色々な星を見せてくれ、満月の月にミッキーをさがしたり、やはり星の知識がない私達は星の解説を聞けて勉強になりました。またガイドさんの話を聞いて心がリセットされました。色んなことを経験されてきた方からのお話は為になります！
旦那の仕事の休みの関係で、新月に狙って旅行の計画を立てることが予め出来ませんが、新月狙ってま
た行けたらいいなと思います。
ツアーをおすすめしてくれた先輩に感謝！山ぴーさん、どうもありがとうございました！！

Wow! What an incredible and awesome experience! Special thanks to Nettie! I understand why she is highly requested! Her aloha spirit made us feel like family. God's creation was on full display, praise Him from whom all blessings flow!
I participated with three friends.
The process: Since there were participants coming from various resorts on the island, we took a welcoming car and met up with other participants at the meeting point.
After that, we stopped by a supermarket for dinner, where we bought souvenirs like coffee and almond chocolate at a cheaper price than ABC Mart, and then headed to Haleakalā!
During the journey, we climbed the mountain while listening to the guide's explanations and interesting stories.
We took a bathroom break along the way, and since we ascended gradually, I didn't really notice the changes in air pressure and oxygen levels!
Also, the scenery we saw while climbing was very beautiful, and I was taking pictures the whole time!
The summit was very cold, and without the provided warm clothing, it would have been impossible to go outside and enjoy the view.
At night, there were no streetlights at all, and since there were no guardrails on the mountain roads, those who came individually returned before sunset.
I got the impression that going individually is almost impossible.
The sunset and starry sky were more beautiful than anything I had ever seen, and I kept looking up at them (*^_^*)
During the viewing, the guide also provided explanations.
My friends were very satisfied, and we were really glad we participated.
This tour made me want to go to Maui just for it.
友人を含め4人で参加しました。
流れ:島内の各リゾートから参加される方がいるため、お迎えの車に乗って、合流地点で、他の参加者さんと合流しました。
その後、夕飯のためにスーパーによりますが、その時にコーヒーや、アーモンドチョコなどのお土産をABCマートよりも安く購入し、いざハレアカラへ！
道中はガイドさんの説明と、面白い話を聞きながら、山道を登って行きます。
途中、トイレ休憩をしながら、少しずつ登ったため、気圧、酸素濃度の変化もあまり気にならずにすみました！
また、登ってる間に見える景色がとても綺麗で、ずっと写真を撮っていました！
山頂はとても寒く、用意されている防寒具がなければ外に出て景色を眺めるのは無理だな。という感じ。
また夜になると全く街灯がなく、さらに山道にガードレールなどもないため、個人でいらしてた方々はサンセット前に帰っていました。
個人で行くのはほぼ無理だなという印象です。
サンセット、星空は今まで見たことない程の綺麗さで、ずっと見上げてました(*^_^*)
また鑑賞中はガイドさんの説明もあります。
友達達も、大満足で、参加して本当に良かったです。
このツアーのために、わざわざマウイ島に行きたくなるようなツアーでした。

Had a great time on our sunrise tour. Driver was knowledgeable and talked much of the trip. The sunrise itself was spectacular. You arrive in the dark and I have never seen so many stars. It is definitely a good idea to bring warm clothes. I had a hooded ski jacket and gloves so I was comfortable. On the way back you can see beautiful views you will have missed on the way up due to darkness. Before heading back to your hotel there is a breakfast stop at the golf course. The food was good. We had a great time and recommend this tour for anyone looking to view the sunrise.
super Tour,professionell grführt, taumhafter Sonnenaufgang, gerne wieder-
We loved our combo (Helicopter/Van) tour of Hana. It is the best way to do it. It is a rather long but beautiful drive to/from Hana so taking a helicopter one way and seeing the sights including Haleakala is best of both worlds. Our guide Scott Ferguson (Scotty) was terrific. He was fun, informative and engaging. The Hana area is so beautiful. Hint: if you plan to swim I suggest you bring reef shoes. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!
It is certainly an experience not to be missed if visiting Hawaii. Price is a bit high for the tour.
Tour guide was knowledgeable and somewhat entertaining. Included breakfast was pretty good.
Great way to see Hana. Lots of fun. Very beautiful. Our guide Scotty was fantastic. Highly recommend.
I was truly moved to see a number of stars I've never seen before. The owner, Mr. Yamauchi, was wonderful, and it was a very pleasant tour. I completely fell in love with the charm of Maui. I definitely want to participate again.
今まで見た事のない数の星を観れて本当に感動しました
オーナーの山内さんの人柄も申し分なく、とても心地の良いツアーでした
マウイ島の魅力にすっかりはまってしまいました
もう一度是非参加したいです

Nettie went above and beyond to ensure that we experienced the best Hawaii. She's a local and added so much charm. Not only did she get on the ground to take our photos she insisted on multiple photos in different poses all of which we couldn't live with out now that we have them. Nettie was by far the best we've seen in Hawaii! Mahalo!
Our tour guide Isaiah was awesome and very friendly. He knew a lot about the island.
It's a wonderful sight! I was impressed. I'm very happy to participate in this tour.
