All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Our guide Kate was very knowledgeable. Had a wonderful time. The hike was well paced for our family, ages 5-70.

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best views from Haleakalā. The sunset over the sea of clouds and the starry sky were both so wonderful that words can't express them. More than anything, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was simply amazing! He talked to us during the drive, but his storytelling under the starry sky is something I will never forget. Of course, I want to see the views and the starry sky at Haleakalā again, but I also want to meet Mr. Yamauchi again. This tour makes you feel that way. There seem to be other tours of Haleakalā, but please consider joining this one with Maui All-Stars. It will cleanse your soul.

天気に恵まれ、ハレアカラからの最高の景色を見ることができました。
雲海の中の夕焼け、満点の星空、どちらも言葉で表現できないほど素晴らしかったです。
それよりも何よりも、ガイドの山内さんの対応がともかく素晴らしかった！。運転中も色々お話してくれるのですが、特に星空の下での山内さんの語りは一生忘れられません。
ハレアカラの景色、星空がもう一度見たいのはもちろんですが、また山内さんにお会いしたい。
そんな気にさせてくれるツアーです。
ハレアカラのツアーは他にもあるようですが、マウイ・オールスターズのこのツアーに是非参加してみて下さい。心が洗われます。

Awesome adventure, Larry was great! He knew so much about the area and the people that live there. Larry answered our questions as best as he could. He told us funny stories, history and folk lore about the plants and land formations as we came upon them. He was entertaining and we felt safe and comfortable with him at the wheel. We had quite a few times where we could get out and take pictures or explore the area at our many stops during the day. Our lunch was delicious. It was a great opportunity to get to know our fellow travelers while taking in the scenery.

Wayne was a great tourguide. He gave us a lot of useful information. There was just a sliver of sun to see on our morning and it was a bit chilly but the hot chocolate and watching how the sun comes up each morning was totally awesome. Despite having to get up at 2 a.m. it was an absolutely awesome tour.

If you want to sit back and relax and hear about the history of the island, then definitely book this tour! You get to experience the back side of the island, the hike is definitely worth the 1000ft climb, but it's not for beginners! It is muddy and there is rocks everywhere, so you definitely want good shoes and be able to hike uphill/steps for about 2 hours! The climb down only took about as hour but we didn't stop for any breaks! Tony was an awesome guide and if you are looking for a tour with waterfalls and history, do not hesitate to book this! Well worth the money!

Bruce was our driver.. he was very informative and we enjoyed our day greatly !!

Our driver was very knowledgeable. My wife and I were not dressed for the elements but because he knew there would be quests who would not be prepared he had a couple of jackets and we were very thankful for him. The dinner was very good as well. We would recommend this company for this tour.

Good but very very long day so hard on the younger kids. Glad we did it but wouldn't do it again.

I was relieved to have made a reservation in advance from Japan since it was fully booked at the time. I was captivated by the eloquent guide and had a wonderful time. I learned that Haleakalā has no "sound," which was a very strange sensation. I also enjoyed a magnificent sunset and had a great time stargazing. Lastly, I was able to hear the guide's heartwarming stories, and I truly felt that participating in this tour was a great decision.

当時は満席との事で日本から事前予約をしておいて一安心。お話の上手なガイドさんに魅せられ、楽しい時間を過ごしました。ハレアカラは❝音❞がないと教えていただき、とても不思議な感覚でした。素晴らしいサンセットも鑑賞し、星空観測も満喫。最後にガイドさんの心温まるお話をう伺うことが出来て、本当にこのツアーに参加してヨカッタと思います。

It was January 18th, and the mountaintop before sunrise was very cold with strong winds. However, when the sun finally appeared from behind the sea of clouds, it was beautiful and very moving. The sunrise spot was crowded, so we got off the bus and waited in the cold for over 30 minutes. I think it’s a good idea to prepare for the cold with wind protection in mind.

1月18日でしたが、日の出前の山頂は、風が強くとても寒かったです。。が、雲海の向こうから太陽がようやく顔を出したときは、きれいでとても感動しました。日の出スポットは混雑していたので、30分以上前からバスから出て寒い中待っていました。風よけを意識して防寒対策しておくと良いと思いました。

Great trip , wonderful views and time
Nellie great driver makes a very special experience

We had a very good time on this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. More mud than expected but very enjoyable just the same.

Your guide was the best. He knew the name of every tree flower and bush. He knew the story behind the water falls and how they feed the water system. It was a fun journey. Unfortunately we could not return on the helicopter because it was too windy and raining. Veltra was quick to give us a refund for the helicopter. This is the way to go if you want to see Hana and all the sights.

I recommend participating if you can enjoy a relaxed stay in Maui!
It seems that a permit is required to reach the summit, making it a valuable experience that you can't do on your own.
As everyone has mentioned, the tour included a sunset, mountains, clouds, and stars, all allowing you to feel the beauty of nature.

マウイでゆとりある滞在ができるなら参加をお勧め！
山頂までは許可証が必要のようで、自力ではいけない貴重な体験ができます。
内容はみなさんが書かれている通りで、サンセット、山、雲、星すべてが大自然を感じられるツアーでした。

Highly recommended tour. This is a Private tour so there is no rush and the views were spectacular. Not only did we get to see the island's secret spots, we also gained a new friend, Gustavo our tour guide. Awesome guy that was as knowledgeable as he was kind and friendly.

If you haven't had the chance to view the sunset at Haleakala it is worth the trip.. allowing someone else to drive while you sit back and relax, is the way to go. the Dinner was ok, My wife ate the vegetarian fare and passed on most of it. The driver was great, full of knowledge and passed it freely. Its nice to know some the history of Maui..

This is a must do. There is nothing like it. You are picked up early but it is well worth it. Once you get up to the summit and watch that breathtaking sunrise and view, you will not regret it. Our tour guide,Gary was fantastic.He was very knowledgeable. The morning ended with a delicious breakfast. Glad we didn't miss this experience!

The sunset and starry sky were an unmissable part of the plan. My husband was on his first trip to Hawaii and was looking for optional tours that could only be experienced in Hawaii. The vast sky filled with countless stars was beyond words! The people who joined the tour were all very pleasant, which further elevated the mood.

The lunch included in the tour allowed us to choose our favorite items from a supermarket along the way, and there were chairs, blankets, and warm tea provided, making it perfect for a toast with tea! The location for stargazing was also fantastic, but I feel it was made even more enjoyable thanks to our guide. The guide was very friendly and attentive, and with their encouragement to "take it slow," I didn't feel any anxiety about my condition at the summit. Instead of just saying, "Let's go back after seeing the stars," they taught us various ways to enjoy the experience at different points. They shared stories and made the time enjoyable.

On the way there, the guide talked about various sightseeing spots, and on the way back, they curated music to help us soak in the afterglow and kept the conversation minimal to allow us to rest our tired bodies, which I really appreciated. It became a time to relax and reflect on the emotional experience of the starry sky.

I truly felt that the time spent with my loved one was made even more wonderful, and I'm so glad I participated! The guide Yamachan was amazing!!

サンセット＆星空は外せないプランでした。
主人は初めてのハワイ旅行。ハワイでしか味合わないオプショナルツアーを探していました。
広い空に満点の星空！感動は言葉にできないくらいのものでした(≧▽≦)一緒にツアーに参加した方々も、とっても気持ちのいい方ばかりで更に気分が盛り上がりました。
ツアーに含まれるお弁当は途中のスーパーで自分が好きなものを選べたり、椅子やひざ掛けや温かいお茶が用意されていて、みんなでお茶で乾杯！は最高です！！
星空のロケーションも最高でしたが、それよりもガイドさんのおかげで更に楽しいものとなった気がします。ガイドさんはとても気さくな方で、細かい気配りや「ゆっくり登りましょう」との言葉に山頂でも体調に不安を感じませんでした。星を見ました帰りましょうではなく、要所要所で色々な楽しみ方を教えられた気がします。また、経験話などをしてくれて楽しい時間でした。行きの車内では色々な観光スポットの話をしてくれ、帰りの車内では余韻に浸れるよう音楽の選曲をしてくれたり、疲れた体を休めるよう言葉少なめにしてくれたところが私にとってはとってもありがたく、星空の感動と温まった体を休められる時間となりました。
大切な人との時間をさらに素晴らしい時間としていただき、本当に参加してよかったです！山ちゃんのガイド最高です！！(*^-^*)

I was with two older American couples. It rained until the evening, which shortened our stay at one location, and the colors of the sea and sky weren't great. However, on the positive side, there was no traffic congestion on the way, the waterfall had a lot of water and was impressive. Additionally, the waves crashing against the rocks at Black Sand Beach were spectacular due to the rough sea. However, since the road is right next to a cliff, it can be dangerous in some situations. Also, during the long mountain road, one of the grandmothers got car sick, so those who are sensitive to motion should be cautious. Our guide, Gayle Shufeldt, provided excellent service, taking photos and giving us candy, in addition to her detailed explanations. It seemed to end sooner than expected, but I thought it was not bad at all.

アメリカ人の年配の夫婦2組と一緒でした。夕方まで雨が降っていたので、1か所の滞在時間が短くなり、海や空の色はいまひとつでしたが、逆に、往きは交通渋滞がなかった、滝の水量が多く、見ごたえがあった、など、いいところもありました。また、海が荒れていたために、Black Sand Beachで岩石にぶつかる水しぶきが圧巻でした。ただし、道路が崖に即しているので、場合によっては、危険なこともあるようです。また、長時間の山道で、おばあさんが車酔いしたので、車に弱い人は注意が必要です。ガイドのGayle Shufeldtさんは、詳しい説明以外にも、とてもがんばって、写真をとってくれたり、飴をくれたり、サービスがよかったです。予想以上に早く終わったようですが、悪くないと思いました。

There were only Japanese people, and when I had breakfast with them, a white person made a really unpleasant face at me (maybe they didn't want to eat with me), which made me feel very uncomfortable. I wonder if I should have skipped breakfast... I don't want to participate anymore.

日本人が私たちしかおらず、一緒に朝食を取ったとき白人の人にすごく嫌な顔をされてしまい（一緒にたべたくなかったのか）とっても嫌な気分でした。朝食はいらなかったかな・・・。もう参加したくないです。

It was a wonderful starry sky as it coincided with the new moon. I was grateful for the chairs, blankets, and warm tea that were provided. The guide, Yama-chan, spoke passionately, and it brought tears to my eyes.

新月に合わせて　参加したので、素晴らしい星空でした。椅子、ひざ掛け、温かいお茶が用意されて有難かったです。ガイドの山ちゃんのお話も熱がこもっていて、うるっとしました。

Well organised trip to Haleakala. Good drivers with their commentary. Would have liked a little more information about the volcano and the island, nothing that Google can't answer though, so that's alright. The dinner was ok.

Susan was awesome and very informative. Lunch was great. Mike was a great pilot with the helicopter. When he was explaining areas he would say our names to make it more personable. I would do this again. Very happy Temptation tours and Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours. You get a ten.

We participated as a couple. There were about 20 people, and everyone else was a foreigner. The guide was English-speaking and provided a fun and polite tour with humor. Our listening skills were low, and there were many things we couldn't understand, but it wasn't a big problem. The sunrise was beautiful, and we were moved by it.

夫婦で参加しました。20人ほどで他は全員外国人でした。ガイドさんは英語で、ユーモアを交えて楽しく丁寧にガイドしてくれていました。こちらのリスニング力が低く、理解できないことも多かったですが、大きな問題はありませんでした。サンライズは綺麗に拝めて感動しました。

This was an amazing adventure to take! The only thing I would want to change and suggest is to bring a cushion. The seats on the bus were extremely uncomfortable. Also, I wished we would have stopped at more waterfalls, seemed to rush through them pretty quickly, but I figured they have a set schedule and placement with all the other tours. It might be better to be different and step out of the norm of all the other charters? Anyway, I did enjoy the driver Larry, he was so knowledgeable and sometimes funny!

We didn't get to see the sunrise due to the weather, but our bus driver was informative and kept us warm with hot coffee, hot chocolate or hot tea. It was still worth going! The breakfast was fantastic!

our guide was very informative of the plants & trees which made it a treat as he picked fresh guava which we all ate, delicious! The trail was a little muddy as it had rained the night before, no big deal. The waterfalls were beautiful, but the water was murky because of the rain the night before. So, we didn't swim in the pools, but the guide more than made up for it due to his knowledge an histories of the area. Very much enjoyed the tour!

I participated in November 2015. Although the weather was good, at the moment of sunrise, clouds covered the sun, so I couldn't see the best view. However, the scenery from the summit was very magical and made for a great memory. Since you wait outside for over an hour for the sunrise, you need winter clothing similar to what you would wear in Japan's mid-winter.

2015年11月に参加、天気は良かったものの、日の出の瞬間、太陽に雲がかかっており最高の景色は見れませんでしたが、山頂からの眺めは非常に幻想的でよい記念になりました。外で1時間以上日の出を待ちますので、日本の真冬と同じ防寒ｸﾞｯｽﾞが必要です。

The sunset, the stars, and the guide were all wonderful. I've participated in various tours during my travels, but this was the best one. The night sky was amazing, and I was particularly moved by the shooting stars and the largest and most magnificent Scorpius I've ever seen. There were explanations about constellations and planets, which were educational, and above all, the guide's attentiveness made me feel very secure, creating a warm atmosphere for the tour. I also climbed Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii last year. While I understand there may be weather conditions to consider, I was more satisfied and moved by this experience in many ways. I highly recommend it.

サンセット、星、ガイドさん、すべてが素晴らしかったです。今まで旅行ではいろいろ参加してますが一番良いツアーでした。星空は素晴らしく、個人的には流れ星と、今まで見た中で一番立派で大きなさそり座に感動しました。星座や惑星、色々な説明があり勉強にもなりましたし、何よりガイドさんの気配りでとても安心でき、温かいツアーだと感じました。ハワイ島のマウナケアにも昨年登りました。気象条件などもあるかとは思いますがこちらの方が色々な面で満足し感動しました。おすすめします。

Despite getting up a dark o'clock, this trip is worth doing. The sunrise is spectacular and the pictures you get are just wonderful. The guide was excellent and cheerful from the start at 2 am! Breakfast is good too and you are awake for it. Recommend you do this one when you visit Maui.
