Maui
Great tour, well organised. We had a great time, saw a lot of the island’ s beauties and our guide couldn’ t be better.

Despite the unfortunate weather making both the sunset and stargazing seem hopeless, our guide, Yamapi, did not give up and skillfully led us to points of interest, allowing us to witness a wonderful sight. I was truly impressed by his determination!
あいにくの天候でサンセットも星空も絶望的で他社ツアーが下山する中、ガイドのやまぴーさんだけが諦めておらずポイントを紡いでご案内頂き素晴らしい光景を目にすることができました。諦めない姿勢に感嘆です!
Filled with fun, sights, colorful beaches, Maui and especially Hana has it all - what a dream!
Aloha! 🌺
Mahalo for your kind words — we’re so happy to hear you had such a dreamy experience! Hana really is a gem, with its colorful beaches, lush beauty, and unforgettable vibes. We’re thrilled we could help you explore and enjoy all that Maui has to offer. Hope to see you again for another island adventure soon! 🌈🚐🌴
Chilly at the top, so make sure to dress warmly! Besides that the views are to die for!
Lots and I mean lots to do and see on this road! We had got so many wonderful scenes throughout.
Aloha Kara!
Mahalo for your five-star review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the Road to Hāna tour with Polynesian Adventure.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable island adventure!
With warm aloha,

We were picked up at 3 PM for Haleakalā. Despite the temperature being 29°C, we gathered with warm clothing. The car set off towards Haleakalā, taking breaks for altitude acclimatization. At 1000 meters, we stopped at a supermarket to prepare dinner. At 2000 meters, we took a bathroom break and captured photos of avocado trees.
We reached the 3000-meter mark, but some participants felt the air was thin. At 6 PM, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, treated us to various poke ingredients and rice, which we enjoyed as poke bowls in the car. Once it got dark, we had a stargazing session. Despite bringing a down coat, it was still cold, and I was surprised that my hands became numb.
We returned to the hotel around 10:30 PM, and I am grateful to Mr. Yamauchi for being talented, attentive, and smooth in conversation, keeping tourists, including children, engaged for over half a day.
ハレアカラへは15時のお迎えだった。
気温29℃なのに防寒着を持っての集合だった。
さっそくハレアカラを目差して車は出発した。高地順応のために休憩を取りながらのハレアカラ行である。
1000mではスーパーマーケットに立ち寄り夕食の用意をした。
2000mではトイレタイムでアボカドのなっている木を写真に収めた
いいよ3000mの地点に到達したが空気を薄いと感じていた参加者もいた。
18時になって添乗員ヤマウチさんが薦めてくれた種々のポキの具材とご飯をポキ丼にして車内でいただいた。
暗くなったところで天体観察である。寒さの中、星や星座の説明を聞きながら天体観察させてもらった。ダウンコートを持って行ったのにも関わらず寒かった。手が悴んで感覚がなくなってきたのには驚いた。
ホテルへ帰ってきたのは22時半ころであったが、それにしても添乗員ヤマウチさんは多才で気が利いて、話が滑らかで子供を含めた観光客を半日以上もずっと飽きさせないで案内してくれたことには感謝している。
In addition to warm clothing, gloves were an essential item for visiting Haleakalā.
ハレアカラ観光には防寒着のほかに手袋が必須の持ち物であった。
Such a wonderful farm, such a caring staff, so surreal to Hawaii!!!
Guide had lots of funny stories throughout the way, and always made sure we were comfortable on this crazy road!
Mahalo for your kind words! 🌺
We’re so glad you had a fun time with us on the Road to Hana! Our guides love sharing stories (and a few laughs!) to keep the journey entertaining—and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable is always a top priority on this wild and beautiful road.
Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again for more Maui adventures! 🌴🚐😄
It was truly a dream-like day (╹◡╹). It was my first time on Maui, and I received a lot of information and stories not just about Maui but other topics as well. Dining while watching the sunset from the summit was a luxurious experience that only those who have done it can appreciate. The music that played in each situation was a stylish touch typical of Yamapi, and I was so moved by the song that played while gazing at the starry sky that I ended up in tears (^◇^;). The hospitality was incredible. I gained the courage to live my life authentically. If you go to Maui, I absolutely recommend this tour. I hope to visit again in a different season. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
もう〜夢のような1日でした(╹◡╹)
マウイ島は初めてだったのですが、いろいろな情報を教えて下さったり、マウイ島以外のお話なんかもたくさんしてくださいました。
また山頂では、沈んでいく夕日を見ながらの食事は、経験した者にしか味わえない贅沢な気分でした。
シチュエーション毎に流れる音楽の演出はヤマピーさんらしく粋なはからいに脱帽です。
特に星空を眺めている時に流れた曲は、感動して泣いちゃいました(^◇^;)
おもてなしが半端ないです。
これからの人生を自分らしく生きる勇気をいただきました♡
マウイ島に行かれたら、ぜーーーったいオススメのツアーですよ。
また違う季節にお邪魔させてください。
感動をありがとうございました。
I previously participated in a stargazing and sunrise tour on the Big Island, and this sunset and stargazing tour was also amazing. Additionally, Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was excellent, and I'm really glad I joined. I would like to recommend it to my daughter and her husband as well.
以前ハワイ島で星空とサンライズのツアーに参加したことがありますが、今回のサンセットと星空のツアーも最高でした。また、山内さんのガイドも最高で、本当に参加して良かったです。娘夫婦にも薦めたいと思います。
Maui is a wonderful place, so please join and experience the starry sky.
マウイ島は良い所ですので、是非参加して満天の星を経験してみてください。
Make sure to bundle like they say, it was very chilly when the sun quickly crept down!
With one family constantly running late, it drove the guide so mad that he stopped talking mid tour and gave us nothing.. it was sad
Aloha Kara,
We’re very sorry to hear your experience fell short of expectations. Delays can certainly impact a tour’s flow; however your guide should have continued to provide a welcoming and informative experience throughout. This is not the standard we strive for, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your feedback will be shared with our management team, to ensure we learn from our shortcomings and provide exceptional experiences for all guests.
Mahalo,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana
The black sand beach was such an awesome stop, we were really happy to have this part taken care of for us as well as a wonderful day!
Mahalo and please visit again!
The guide had so many amazing stories throughout the trip! A wonderful experience exploring this side of Maui.
Hi Kara,
Thank you for your awesome review! We are happy to learn that you loved our stories. This is a brig part of Hawaiian culture :) Hope to see you on Maui again in the future!!
Aloha!!
I can still smell the farms, it was such a wonderful day trip on Maui!!
We were excited to learn about and taste the Maui Gold pineapples. They live up to their reputation! Super sweet and flavorful! We were disappointed that the workers had all gone home by 1:45pm on a Tuesday when our tour was. We would have liked to have seen them sorting the pineapples, etc.
If you go on this tour, book one of the two earlier times in the day rather than the 1:45pm tour.
Although the clouds and full moon made it difficult to see a beautiful sunset and a starry sky, Yamapi's thoughtfulness and conversation were excellent. I definitely want to try again.
雲が多いのと満月で綺麗な夕日や満天の星空は残念でしたが、ヤマピーさんのお心遣いと会話は最高でした。又是非トライしたいと思います
This tour is recommended on dark nights in July and August. Additionally, there is a smoking area at the summit, which is appreciated by smokers, but only if a fire is lit.
このツアーは7月8月で闇夜の日がお勧めです。それと喫煙者にはありがたい山頂にも喫煙所はあります。但し火が点けばですが。
Yoshi was absolutely amazing! From the prompt pick up, the hospitality (tea, snacks) and the amazing knowledge, this is a tour I will always remember. Words can’t express how awesome being at that height and seeing the stars as you stand above the clouds was. Yoshi knew and shared so much and even had coats and gloves for us all as it does get cold at that height. He even showed us how to adjust the settings on our phones to timelapse and take great pictures. 1000% recommend Yoshi and this tour if you want to experience something breathtaking.
This was the second stargazing tour guided by Yamapi in 2023. It seems that visitors to Maui have returned after the Lahaina wildfire in August 2023, as the area near the summit was crowded, but we were able to fully enjoy the great nature and the starry sky in a fantastic location. We also enjoyed donuts and coffee, and I was once again impressed by the kind explanations and support from Mr. Yamauchi, a veteran of the stargazing tour. This is an highly recommended optional tour for anyone traveling to Maui.
2023年に続き2回目やまピーさんガイドの星空ツアー。2023年8月のラハイナ大火の後、
マウイ島を訪ねる人たちも戻ってきたようで
頂上付近は混雑してましたが、絶好のエリアで大自然と星空を満喫できました。ドーナツやコーヒーなども頂いて星空ツアーベテランの山内さんの親切な説明と対応に今回も感服いたしました。マウイ島旅行では超おすすめのオプショナルツアーです。
Please take care of your health and participate.
体調整えて参加されてください。
We had a great time learning about the folklore of the island and seeing all the beautiful natural wonders Maui has to offer!
I was able to observe the sunset and the starry sky from the summit of Haleakalā. The guide provided a wonderful pair of binoculars and a telescope, and we observed the stars while receiving explanations. I saw more stars than I have ever seen before, and I was able to see Saturn beautifully through the telescope, which was very moving. I highly recommend this tour!
ハレアカラの山頂から夕日と星空を観測できました。ガイドさんが立派な双眼鏡と望遠鏡を用意してくれ、星の解説と共に観測しました。今まで観たことがないほどの星が観れ、また望遠鏡を通して土星まで綺麗に観れ、とても感動しました。ぜひおすすめしたいツアーです!
Jackets are available for rent, but it gets cold at night, so please dress warmly!
ジャケットの貸し出しはありますが、夜は冷えるので暖かい格好をしてください!
If it's a round trip tour, there were stops along the way, and we enjoyed a leisurely dinner while watching the sunset, making it an enjoyable experience without any dull moments.
往復長旅となるツアーでしたら、途中立ち寄りがあったりゆっくりとサンセットを楽しみながらの夕食タイムなど飽きることなく楽しめました。
For dinner, everyone can prepare their own, so you can either stop by and eat poke or prepare something yourself.
夜ご飯は各自用意するので途中で立ち寄るポキを食べてもいいし、自分で用意してもいいかと思います。
Early early morning but it saves you the time from needing a reservation, and with breakfast included in makes it a bit easier to balance out the early am!
Sensory overload in the best way, every twist and turn of the road another magical waterfall appears.
This was easy way to hit the road to Hana as we did not want to drive. Loved the black sand beach so much
Mahalo for your review! 🌺
We’re so glad you found the Road to Hana tour to be an easy and relaxing way to explore—skipping the drive definitely makes it more enjoyable! And yes, the black sand beach is always a highlight—so glad you loved it!
Thanks for joining us, and we hope to have you back for more Maui magic soon! 🌴🏖️✨
We were trying to find a perfect mix on Hana and this was it- the local farm stop really made it feel like more than just a stop and go tour!
Getting the pineapple to bring back to the condo after was the best!
Went with family and had a wonderful time in the gorgeous pineapple farm!
My kids wanted something quicker, and the guides are so great!
Hands down…. The best activity my wife and I have had in our 6-day vacation in Maui. David was an exceptional tour guide! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about all the hiking spots and locations, but he was also entertaining and genuinely friendly throughout the trip. What truly set him apart was his dedication and care for his customers. My wife lost her phone while hiking, and David went above and beyond by returning to the trail to search for it. That phone held all our photos and memories from our trip to Hawaii, and thanks to David, we were able to recover it. Without him, our 6-day vacation could have turned into a disaster. We are so grateful for his kindness and professionalism—he truly made our trip unforgettable.
