ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

Divine! I was moved by the sacred starry sky and the professional skills! Divine! 神聖な星空とプロの技に感動!

Reviewed by: Yamapee-fan

I was finally able to repeat my visit to Haleakalā! As everyone has mentioned, just like last time, I was welcomed by YAMAPEE's wonderful smile and engaging talk. The atmosphere among the tour participants was great, and we started off with a cozy feeling that you don't get on a large bus.

The summer Saturn and the close-up of the moon were impressive, but the starry sky during the winter new moon was truly sacred. No matter when you visit, Haleakalā shows a different expression, and I felt that every single cell in my body was rejoicing under the star-filled sky. Last time, I was able to see the death star of the Big Dipper, but this time we could all see the stars below the belt of Orion, as well as the Andromeda Galaxy.

It's an experience to have the sky right in front of you completely filled with stars... It would be a shame to go to Hawaii and not know about Maui, and it would be truly regrettable to go all the way to Maui and not climb Haleakalā. I really want to share this experience with others, and I might insist on it with my friends again.

It was so much fun with everyone who was there! Thank you to the Osaka team for including us! We got some wonderful photos. I'm so happy—I even bought a special frame! Thank you, YAMAPEE, for your professional guidance once again! With so many repeat visitors, please continue to create tours even after the 3055th time!

It was a truly joyful tour filled with happiness. Thank you, thank you. I look forward to our next reunion!

念願のハレアカラにリピートできました!
皆様が書いてらっしゃるとおり、前回とかわらずYAMAPEEさんの良い笑顔、トークに迎えられ、ツアーの皆様の雰囲気もよく、大型バスにはないアットホームな感じでスタートしました。
夏の土星や月面のアップも感動的でしたが、冬の新月の星空は神聖さそのものでした。
いつ来ても違う表情をみせてくれるハレアカラの懐の深さ、満天の天プラに細胞の一つ一つが喜んでいたと感じます。前回は北斗七星の死兆星など見れましたが、今回はオリオン座のベルト下の、くの字の下の星がみんな見れたり、アンドロメダ星雲などを見せていただけました。
目の前の空が全部星で埋め尽くされているなんて体験できません。。。
ハワイにいって、マウイ島を知らないのは勿体ないし、マウイまでいって、ハレアカラに登らないのは本当に勿体ないことだと思います。
ぜひぜひ同じ体験を分かち合いたいなと、また友人達にしつこくしそうです。
一緒にいらした方、楽しかったですね!!
大阪チームの方、入れてくださってありがとうございました!
素敵な写真がとれていましたね。嬉 専用のフレーム買ってしまいました!!
YAMAPEEさん、今回もプロ中のプロのご案内ありがとうございました!!
リピーター続出なので3055回を過ぎても、お元気でツアーつくっていってくださいね~
本当に幸せ感いっぱいの楽しいツアーでした。 感謝、感謝です。
またの再会を楽しみにしてます。

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

Spectacular show by Mother Nature

Reviewed by: Longhornhammy

I was not looking forward to a 2:50am pickup at the hotel, but the transportation was very comfortable and Rory, our tour guide, was exceptional. He talked most of the way over to Haleakala about Hawaiian culture & traditions so it was informative. When we got to the observation area, Rory took us to 'the best spot' for viewing which also blocked off the wind that was blowing. It is strange at first because the darkness hides the landscape. But the stars were as beautiful as I've ever seen them. Then the horizon began to glow and things moved pretty quickly until full sunrise. We then moved to the 10000 ft observation area and the view was breath taking. Tour finished with a nice breakfast at Café O'lei and we were dropped back off at our hotel in Lahaina. This is a spectacular event and really different from other Maui activities. Pack some warm clothes!

マウイ島観光ツアー ハレアカラ国立公園&イアオ渓谷をめぐる <昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Unfortunately, the weather was not great, but... あいにくの天候でしたが、、、。

Reviewed by: Sissy

Suddenly, it started to rain, and I think the temperature at the summit of Haleakalā was close to 0 degrees. I felt that Iao Valley was a place with some kind of power. The people of Maui referred to it as "blessing rain." It felt like my unnecessary energy was being washed away. The hotel pickup was around 6:30, but the actual departure from the meeting spot was around 8:30, so it seems like the hotel pickup could be a bit later.

急に雨が降り出し、ハレアカラの頂上は0度に近かったと思います。イアオ渓谷はなにかパワーのある場所のような気がしました。マウイの人からは「祝福の雨」と言われました。自分の不必要なエネルギーが流されたような気がします。朝のホテルピックアップは6:30くらいですが実際の集合スポットからの出発は8:30頃で、ホテルピックアップはもっと後でもいいような気がします。

Hana by Air & Land - Helicopter Flight & Semi-Private Sightseeing Tour Combo

Excellent, this is a must do tour

Reviewed by: Peter and Donna

Loved this tour, it ticked all the boxes and was less stressful than driving all those bends and narrow bridges ourself. Just enough stops to get photos and food. Mike our driver was fantastic and interesting. Absolutely loved the comfort of the van. Our picnic lunch was delicious and the park where we stopped was beautiful. The helicopter ride was fantastic too and show a different look of the rainforest from above, if you haven't booked this yet, make sure you do. A great company to go with.

It seems to be aimed at young people... maybe. 若い方向き・・・かなぁ

Reviewed by: larutan

Every time in Maui, I would usually just relax at the hotel besides playing golf, but this time I participated in a sightseeing tour for the first time. The weather was great, and I was able to see the best sunset and starry sky.

The winding road to the summit has no guardrails, so I really appreciated using the tour. I enjoyed the explanations at the summit and the observations through the telescope.

For dinner, I bought packaged sushi at the supermarket. For a couple in their 50s, this was also an extraordinary experience that we enjoyed.

This time, a young Japanese-American man was in charge. He seemed to have little experience, but his earnestness came through.

However, that beautiful starry sky was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience!? I wanted to quietly take my time to enjoy it. I found the explanations about the stars very interesting, but in the freezing cold, I was a bit taken aback by how he endlessly talked about his background and feelings towards his job. Also, it was not appropriate for him to speak ill of other companies while trying to convey the greatness of his own. It seems like youthful passion can sometimes miss the mark. He is someone I look forward to seeing grow in the future.

As you mentioned, I believe the company is sincere and solid. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate in another tour.

毎回マウイでは、ゴルフをする以外は、ホテルでのんびりしていましたが、
今回初めて、マウイでの観光ツアーに参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれ、
最高のサンセットと星空を見ることができました。

山頂までは、ガードレールのないワインディングロードが続きますので、
ツアーを利用して、本当に良かったと思います。
山頂での説明や、望遠鏡での観測も楽しめました。

夕食は、パック入りのお寿司をスーパーで購入します。
50代の夫婦にとっては、
これもまた非日常の経験で、楽しめました。

今回は、若い日系男性の担当でした。
まだ経験が浅いようでしたが、一生懸命さが伝わってきました。

あれだけの美しい星空は、恐らく人生最初で最後!?
静かにじっくり見たかったですね。
星の説明は、とても興味深く聞いていましたが、

ご自分の経歴や、仕事への思いを延々と語られたのには
ちょっと閉口しました。
また、ご自分の会社の素晴らしさを伝えようと、
他の会社の悪口を言われたのもNGですね。

おっしゃるとおり、会社としては、
しっかりした誠意のある会社だと思います。
機会があれば、別のツアーにも参加したいと思います。

5-Hour Hana Rainforest Hiking Tour with Waterfall Swim - Hike Maui

East Maui Waterfalls and Rainforest Hike: My family and I had an amazing day with Dawn as our guide on this excursion.

Reviewed by: Sharon SH

My family and I had an amazing day with Dawn as our guide on this excursion. She was knowledgable, friendly, smart, skilled, and funny! The excursion itself introduced us to the rain forest of Maui which was beautiful in its terrain and a bit challenging to navigate. Dawn gave us all the confidence we needed so we could rise to the challenges while being gracious to those who did not choose some aspects (cliff jumping) of the tour. Overall, it was a highlight of our entire Hawaiian trip. Dawn was fantastic. Lastly, the water shoes (available for a nominal charge) are a necessity.

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

Nice tour

Reviewed by: YBD

The tour was good overall. Due to weather we didnt get to swim by the waterfalls, I wish they had offered another option like more time in black sand beach, knowing that it was impossible to swim in the other part. (I had brought my swimsuit, towel and extra clothes). I liked it that they offered complimentary juices and water bottles on the bus. If you don't pay for the tour that includes lunch, there are more options to find good food walking distance from where the bus stops for lunchtime, so I didn't regret not paying for that

Ultimate Hana Full-Day Adventure Hiking Tour with Waterfall Swim

Wonderful Day

Reviewed by: Debz

This is my second time with this tour. Dawn was our guide, she is very friendly, funny, kind and knowledgeable about the area, the vegetation and the threats to the eco- system in Hawaii. She did some cliff diving, took us on an off the beaten path hike that was something I would never do, including going in twice into freezing water up to my chest. We were exhausted but it was an amazing day. The fresh fruit on the trip and the openness to do things that the group waned to do, such as stopping at both the black and red beaches and getting Hulihuli chicken was great.

Haleakala National Park Sunset Tour with Dinner - Polynesian Adventure

Really nice tour - but can't count on Mother Nature to cooperate...

Reviewed by: Kiki

Really nice tour to summit and super dinner at Café O Lei.

While Mother Nature didn't necessarily cooperate (she rained on us the last 2 days of trip, but it might have been our fault as we stupidly asked for her to turn the wind down a bit the first 2 days ;)...) the sunset wasn't brilliant but still awe inspiring (also got a glimpse of how beautiful it could be on the flight out the next day still very cloudy - could see more color and summit as we took off...). Oh lavender farm was nice too - I'm not a lavender person but whole area was beautiful and people at farm nice.

Tour was still great - views were still stunning - dinner was really good and other people on tour were quite a fun group!

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

Road To Hana Tour - My Vacation Highlight

Reviewed by: M Lizalde

I am so glad I decided to take this tour! We had taken the Road to Hana on our own 4 years ago. The experience was such that I felt the need to come back, but this time by means of a tour guide that would tell us the background of all the wonders we got to see and experience back then. This stretch of the island of Maui is so rich in history. Turns out I was right. Thanks to our tour guide/driver, Larry. He made this experience all the more magical. I am a history enthusiast. Larry touched on every aspect of this journey. From the vegetation's different species (origin, current and past uses, etc.), rock formations, the incredible waterfalls and grottos, to the towns people of present and past. Oh, and the beaches, breathtaking. I loved soaking my feet at Blacksand beach. Wish we could of stayed there longer. I appreciated our stop at the local's farmers market. Got to sample a taste of the locals organic fruits, banana bread, fruit jams and honey. I was able to purchase of everything I sampled. This is definitely a tradition for my family. When in Maui...Tour Guided Road to Hana Highway Adventure is a must. These drivers are experts, I will leave the driving to them! While I sit back and enjoy the trip.

The best hospitality tour. 最高のおもてなしツアー

Reviewed by: みぃちゃん

It was a tour where I felt the best hospitality from the pickup at the hotel to the very end. Our guide, Yamapi, came to greet us, and I was so impressed, thinking, "Oh, I've seen this person on TV!" He was very good at talking, friendly, and above all, I felt his heartfelt hospitality for us. The choice of music in the vehicle, his wealth of knowledge in conversation, it was a wonderful tour until the very end. I will participate again! The Krispy Kreme donuts I uploaded in the photo are not available in Japan. I appreciate the attention to detail in such things.

ホテルへのピックアップから最後まで、細かいところまで最高のおもてなしを感じるツアーでした。
ガイドのヤマピーさんがお迎えに来て下さり「あ。テレビで見たことある~!この方!!」って感動。とってもお話上手、フレンドリー、何よりも私たちの為に真心感じるおもてなし。社内の音楽のチョイス、知識豊富なトーク、最後まですばらしいツアーでした。

Awesome tour . Very scenic drive . Our tour guide was Charles, he knew everything about all the places we went through right after we started from hotel until back . He knew exactly where to stop or slow down to take awesome pics or view the beauty of Hana . 5 on 5 for this beautiful tour and knowledgable guide.. I took 1 star for the lunch provided . Breakfast was light fruits and rolls and being on entire day trip, we were expecting a better lunch . Besides salad , steamed rice and watermelon, there was chicken and being vegetarian this did not feel like lunch . We got a veg taco plate when asked about the veg option, which was equally bad and cold
Apart from this I would say this is a must do if in Muai to see actual nature ..

Number 1 tour in Hawaii ハワイのツアーでNo.1

Reviewed by: うみがめ

During my six-day trip to Hawaii, I participated in many tours, but this was definitely the No. 1 tour.

The vibrant sunset visible from the summit of Haleakalā and the 180-degree view of the starry sky were the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life.

Not only the scenery, but also Mr. Yamauchi's stories reminded me of a pure heart.

Even after returning home, I want to occasionally look up at the night sky and remember the starry sky of Maui and Mr. Yamauchi's stories.

I will come again!

今回、6日間のハワイ旅行でたくさんのツアーに参加しましたが、間違いなくNo.1のツアーです。

ハレアカラ山頂から見える色鮮やかなサンセット、180度見渡せる星空、ともに今までの人生の中で一番綺麗でした。

Road to Hana

Reviewed by: Kandyce Zhong

Overall it was a very fun trip. However the trip time wise is a little too long. The food wise too need a little improvement. It was only a little rice and bbq chicken. This trip include a simple breakfast too, but don't expect a continental breakfast. It's just coffee fruits and croissant. Thank you Steve our driver and our guide for the informative trip and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. You will never get to view all the scenery spots if you didn't attend this trip. We went to see a few water falls, it was absolutely beautiful, however we weren't able to swim in the pools as they were closed on that day. We went to black sand beach also, the sands are black, it's really cool... We took awesome lots of picture, it's definitely a memory that you will never forget. Advise to not go to the trip if you're tiered or sick cuz it's a energy consuming trip. Overall you will have fun.

It was moving!!! 感動!!!

Reviewed by: よこはまのちーさん

This is my fourth time in Maui, but it's my first time going to the mountains. Yamachan arrived at the hotel right on time to pick us up. During the drive, we had a lively time asking each other about our hometowns. We stopped by a souvenir shop along the way, where we tried and purchased some of Yamachan's recommended products. By the time we reached the summit, it was sunset time, and we were above the clouds. The sunset was not just red; it had layers of blue as well. After that, we descended a bit and had our bento in the car. Once we finished eating, we all looked up, and the sky was like a planetarium. We saw the Milky Way with the naked eye!!! We were even able to see Saturn through a telescope, which was incredibly moving. I think it's not an exaggeration to say that it was a refreshing experience for the soul. Yamachan's clear explanations about the stars and his consideration for each person were truly professional.

マウイは今回で4回目ですが、山へ行くのは初めて。時間通りにやまちゃんさんがホテルに迎えにきてくれました。行きの車中では、みんなの出身地を聞いたりして賑やかな時間でした。途中お土産屋さんへ立ち寄り、やまちゃんお薦め商品を試食して購入したりしました。山頂に着くころにはサンセットタイム、山頂は雲の上です。サンセットは赤いだけではなく、青い色との何層にもなってました。その後、少し下山して車中でお弁当。食べ終わり、みんなで下を向いて外へ、見上げた空はなんとプラネタリウムでした。肉眼で見る天の川!!!望遠鏡を使って土星も見ることができ、感動感動でした。命の洗濯ができたと言っても過言ではないと思います。やまちゃんのわかりやすい星の説明、一人一人への気遣いははプロ中のプロだと思いました。

You are also from Yokohama! I'm glad you enjoyed the sunset and starry sky, which are not often seen in Japan. We all have to endure and wait until it gets dark to see the stars together, and indeed, it's necessary to "look down and walk" until then (laughs). I look forward to seeing you again!

The guide was a man named Rick, who was fluent in Japanese and had been a wedding planner until a year ago. He occasionally cracks dad jokes (laughs).

At Krispy Kreme along the way, I tried flavors that aren't available in Japan, and they were very delicious. I was told that among the ones sold here, they were on the less sweet side, but they were sweet enough for me.

We stopped by a supermarket to buy dinner, and I was excited to see some unusual sushi (laughs). This was also incredibly delicious.

Of course, the sunset and the starry sky were wonderful! I was able to see the green flash as the sun set, and although I wasn't expecting much from the starry sky because it was a full moon, I was able to see the Milky Way, which was very moving!

I wore a total of six layers, including Heattech, a T-shirt, a sweatshirt, and an inner down jacket, and I put on a rented down jacket on top, but I was still quite cold. However, I think it's worth participating even if it's cold!

ガイドはリックさんという、一年前までは結婚式のプランナーをされていたという、日本語ペラペラの方。たまにオヤジギャグも炸裂します(笑)
途中のクリスピークリームでは日本にないフレーバーのものをいただき、とても美味しかったです。こちらで販売している中では甘さ控え目とのことでしたが、充分甘かったです。
夕飯を購入しにスーパーへ立ち寄ったのですが、珍しいお寿司にテンションが上がりました(笑)こちらもすごく美味しかったです。
もちろん夕日も星空も素晴らしかったです!

20年前にも、実母(75才)と、幼い娘とともにサンライズを見にいきました。
今回は、サンセット以上に星空が素晴らしくて~!
山ちゃんの説明と観測、楽しかった!!!
ありがとうございました。

You can drive up to the summit, making it accessible for everyone from the elderly to small children. Your mother, who certainly doesn't look 83, should definitely join the tour again.

山頂まで車で登ることが出来るので、お年寄りから小さい子たちまで参加することが可能です。とても83歳には見えないお母様で、また是非ツアーに参加されてください。

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

Great tour

Reviewed by: Laurie

I wished we had a more outgoing/energetic group of passengers along with us, but our driver, Sam made up for it, amazing me with his non-stop humor and entertainment. As others said, I am very glad I did not have to drive that one-lane two-way road with rusty railings and precarious turns myself for hours and hours of driving (see the one photo attached where looking out my window you could see an inch of pavement and then the drop). The tour buses being higher than car height and having large windows provided a wide-open view i would not have see from my rental car. Sam educated us on Hawaiian history, and pointed out dining spots, fauna, flora, and talked of herbal uses of the plants. He talked about his family and their land, and told stories of growing up in Hawaii. He made certain to stop and let us take photos from the tour bus, at perfect photo spots along the road often near its many bridges, rivers, falls. We were handed a map at the beginning with spots high-lighted in yellow where we would get out and walk around, so we could gauge how long we had to go. The places we stopped were gorgeous. Some had very short paths to explore. The banana bread stop nice. At one popular waterfall stop, the road jammed up and Sam was out there, cooling tempers with his humor, making friends, and directing traffic to clear the gridlock. The open air restaurant in Hana was good, beautiful artwork, nice lunch. Sam brought us tastes of a local dish, Poke, the restaurant made. Unfortunately at the one stop for swimming at the 7 Sacred Pools of 'Ohe'o, the park has certain conditions the surf must meet to let you down there to swim: it was closed that day, and I was terribly disappointed after seeing so many beautiful pictures on the internet and hoping it to be the big finish, but Sam still gave us time enough time to do the circular hike out to the point above there, as consolation. I am very glad I signed up for this tour. Was sad when the day was over.

Aiming for the starry sky of Halekulea. ハレクレアの星空を目指して

Reviewed by: taka

The weather in the lower region was sunny with occasional clouds. In the evening, as I approached the summit, the weather was good. The view from the top was amazing, with a beautiful sunset. As the sun set, the sky darkened, and after closing my eyes for a while, when I opened them, I could see the Milky Way beautifully in the sky. You can't see it this clearly in the lower region. After that, the weather changed suddenly, and it started to rain, so I couldn't see the stars. However, I heard that this tour allows for a partial refund to try again until you can see the beautiful stars, so I descended with hopes of joining the next tour.

下界は晴れ時々曇り。夕方、頂上へ近ずくと天候は良好。
山頂は、夕日が綺麗に見えて最高でした。
日が落ちてくると空が暗くなり目を閉じてしばらくしてから目を開けた時、空に天の川が綺麗に見えました。下界ではこんなに綺麗には見えませんよ。
この後、天気が急変し雨が降り出し、星を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし、このツアーは綺麗な星が見えるまで一部負担でリベンジできるとのことなので、次回のツアー参加に期待して下山しました。

Mountain weather can be unpredictable. Generally, since we go above the clouds, the weather is often clear, but there are days when visibility can be as low as 20% throughout the year. Our company has a "revenge system" in place, so while the entrance fee and lunch costs are separate, you can participate until you get to see it. We hope you'll come back to see the starry sky again!

山の天気は予想がつかないことが起こります。基本的には雲の上に行くので天気は晴れることが多いのですが、年間20%は見れない日もでてきます。自社ではリベンジ制度を導入しているので、入園費とお弁当代は別途になりますが、見れるまでご参加できます。是非また満天の星空を見に来てくださいね!

The guide was amazing and the sunset was incredible! ガイド最高とサンセット最高!

Reviewed by: スーザン

The guide was incredibly attentive, engaging with each person individually and ensuring that everyone came together in the end. Since we were at an altitude of 3,000 meters, there was no need to worry about altitude sickness, as we had regular breaks and restroom stops. When we reached the summit, they even lent us down jackets for the cold. The moment the sunset over the sea of clouds from the mountaintop was breathtaking. After that, we used a telescope to view stars that can only be seen in Hawaii, and the guide shared a lot of fascinating information about astronomy. It was a tour that was never boring, both in terms of the location and the conversation.

ガイドさんが、とにかく、気を配ってくれると人で、皆さん一人一人に、話をかけていき、最終的には、皆が、纏まるようにしてくれます。標高3000メートルの山の為、高山病にならないように、マメに休憩時間トイレも取ってくれるので心配いりません。頂上についたら、寒い時用のダウンも貸してくれます。山上からの夕陽が沈み瞬間の雲海は最高です。その後は、望遠鏡でハワイでしか観れない星を見て、天体観測の話をいっぱいしてくれます。ロケーションもトークも飽きないツアーでした。

At 3000 meters, there is a temperature difference of about 20°C compared to the ground, so we provide gloves, blankets, and down jackets. During the explanation of the starry sky, we also offer warm tea, so both your heart and body will be warmed at 3000 meters (laughs).

やはり3000メートルは地上と比べ20℃ほど温度差があることもあり、手袋、毛布、ダウンジャケットなどをご用意しています。途中星空の説明中に、温かいお茶も差し上げておりますので、3000メートルで心も身体も温まります(笑)

A valuable experience with family. 家族で貴重な体験

Reviewed by: チーム静岡の母

I finally realized my long-time dream of participating in this tour with my family to see the magnificent scenery together! I had looked at guidebooks and watched broadcasts on BS television, but the views I saw in person were beyond words. I was also impressed by our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, and his high level of professionalism in taking care of participants' health and considering restroom breaks while guiding us through the 3000-meter mountains. The majestic views of Haleakalā and Mr. Yamauchi's stories resonated deeply with our family, and I’m truly glad we participated. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for the wonderful tour!

このツアーに家族で参加して雄大な景色をみんなで見たい!という長年の私の夢がついに叶いました。私はガイドブックやBSテレビの放映を見ていきましたが、実際に見る景色は言葉に表せないほど素晴らしいものでした。またガイドのヤマウチさんの、参加者への体調の気配りやお手洗いの配慮などが3000m級の山を案内するプロとしての意識の高さに感心させられました。ハレアカラ山の雄大な景色とヤマウチさんのお話は私たち家族の心に大きく響くものがあり、本当に参加して良かったです。ヤマウチさん素敵なツアーありがとうございました。

We had a fantastic time on our Road to Hana tour! Larry is a great tour guide. I just wished we could have spent more time at the Seven Sacred Pools. We saw many waterfalls, so this is an excellent choice for people that love nature!!
