All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

I loved doing this. It was beautiful and inspiring to be above the clouds for a sunset. The bus tour was lengthy, but I wasn’t brave enough to drive my rental up a mountain. Also it was great to get some narration from the driver. Now I know what to expect, and I’ll be brave enough to drive it myself next time I visit.

It was a valuable time where I could experience something new. The service was also attentive and wonderful. Thank you very much.

新しいことを体感出来る価値ある時間でした。サービスもきめ細やかで素晴らしかったです。ありがとうございました。

The scenery was absolutely wonderful, and of course, Yamapi's guidance was thorough and enjoyable. I'm really glad I participated! I want to go again!

大変に景色が素晴らしかったのはもちろん、やまぴーさんのガイドが丁寧で楽しく、参加して本当に良かったです!また行きたい‼︎

This was a hit for me. Accommodations (vehicle, drinks, food) were excellent. Tour guide knowledge was excellent. They didn’t beg/guilt trip for tips like every other guided tour in Hawaii which made me happy — this made me more inclined to tip nicely. Don’t hesitate to book this because the guided narration enriches the experience so much. If you’re an adventure seeker, there are two decent options to get wet — one black sand beach at the state park and one waterfall pool.

Yoshi was a fantastic tour guide. He’s been doing this for 20 years so he knows the perfect spot to watch the sunset and stargaze. His telescopes were amazing! I don’t want to spoil everything but will leave you with this…just do it, book it, you won’t regret it. An absolute must do!

Yoshi was so enthusiastic & the tour was so well organised. The sunset was spectacular! But the stars & planets he showed us made our night esp Saturn & Jupiter - just WOW!

It was a fun and safe tour guided by DINDO. The bus had a comfortable number of people, which was nice.

I wished I could have stayed a little longer at Haleakalā. Those who lined up at the shop right when it opened at sunrise were able to buy items, but those who took their time to watch the sunrise couldn't make a purchase before departure time. I also wanted to visit the Haleakalā Observatory.

DINDOの案内で楽しく安全なツアーだった
バスも適度な人数でゆったりとしていてよかった。

ハレアカラでの滞在がもう少し長く欲しかった、ショップでの買い物はサンライズ時のオープンと同時に並べた人は買えた、ゆっくり日の出を見てからでは買えないまま出発時間になった。もう一つ上のハレアカラ天文台へも行ってみたかった。

This is very first time for us to enjoy such beautiful sunset especially stargazing we have never seen before. I will strongly recommend Maui All Stars to my friends.

The tour was very informative and lots of scenery to take in. When they say to layer for the top of Haleakala, take the suggestion. It was very cold at just short of 10,000 feet when the sun starts going down. It was a beautiful end to the day. A definite must for your bucket list.

We gathered in the afternoon and made our way to the summit while taking breaks along the way. To avoid altitude sickness, we ascended slowly, and near the top, they flexibly adjusted our location based on the weather and the number of tourists. Although it was almost a full moon, we could see many stars, and the explanation using the telescope was very interesting. Next time, I would like to go during a different season, preferably close to a new moon.

You can borrow a jacket and gloves similar to ski wear, which provides considerable warmth, but it's also good to bring a down inner layer, a hat that covers your ears, and socks that don't expose your ankles. My husband wore down pants as well, so he was even more insulated from the cold.

午後集合．途中で休憩しながら頂上へ．高山病にならないよう，ゆっくりとあがってもらい，頂上付近では，天候や観光客の状況から，柔軟に場所を変えて対応してくれました．ほぼ満月に近い日程でしたが，星はたくさん見えましたし，天体望遠鏡での説明も，興味深かったです．今度は，違う季節で，かつ新月に近い時期に行ってみたいです．
スキーウェアのような上着と手袋をお借りできるので，かなりの防寒になりますが，ダウンのインナー，耳が隠れる帽子，足首が出ない靴下を持っていくとよいです．夫はダウンのパンツも履いたので，さらに寒さ知らずでした．

We were able to book day before, and it provided our family with a wonderful quick day of fun on Hana!!

Whether you like sunrise or sunset is personal, I do prefer sunsets: colors are more intense and after that the night comes with a zillion stars, a wondrous show magnified by the purity of the air.
Yoshi, the man from Maui All Stars, in charge of the tour is a courteous man and also a passionate astronomer. He does everything to make you feel comfortable: chairs, blankets, tea, cookies and a powerful Meade telescope that will bring you amazing views of moon and the stars.
What I want to point out is the importance of doing this with someone who loves what he's doing.
Unforgettable moment!
Thank you, Yoshi!!!

We had a wonderful time on our Road to Hana trip. Our tour guide was great. Informative and entertaining. We saw lots of wonderful sites and had a great group on our little bus. The size of the tour was also a plus. It was a smaller bus and I would say there were about 30 of us. We all laughed and asked questions and oohed and aahed at all the beautiful sights. Would do it again.

The evening of our tour wasn't the best as the clouds wouldn't leave the top of Mt. Haleakala. So, we didn't see the sunset nor the stars. Yoshi did take us to to other locations as we descended Haleakala and FINALLY the stars could be seen. We viewed the heavenlies for at least 30 minutes if not more. What fun!! And Yoshi provided us with coats and blankets to keep us warm. The donuts and hot coffee and tea was appreciated as well. It was a fun evening.

There is no better place in the world! I could gt lost on the winding roads of hana.

The tour was wonderful and the Hana Farms stop was amazing- such beauty on Hana!

Our stargazing tour with Yoshi was an experience we won't forget! Yoshi was very knowledgeable about Haleakala and so many stars and constellations. He made sure that our tour had an ideal, not crowded spot for the sunset and stargazing (despite the large crowds in other areas). He provided hot tea, warm jackets, and chairs for viewing, and made sure that each person got a chance to gaze through his telescope while he pointed out constellations and planets. He also had very convenient pickup/drop-off locations. We would definitely recommend it!

What a cute farm and the product, well simply delicious!

This wonderful tour was a highlight of my trip to Maui! I had so much fun!! The views and sunset were amazing. I really loved the stargazing with our guide, Yoshi. He was kind, informative, funny & friendly and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. I plan to do this tour again next time I come to Maui!

The weather was perfect after the typhoon, and with the new moon, it was the best day for stargazing. Thanks to the frequent breaks we took on the way to the summit, I didn't suffer from altitude sickness and was able to fully enjoy the breathtaking views. Being taken to a hidden spot where we could see the stars in a 360° view was incredibly moving, as I could recognize the constellations as they are. The recommendations at the supermarket and the warm tea at the summit showed the wonderful thoughtfulness and character of Yamapi, and I never expected to receive such hospitality abroad. This became my best memory from my trip to Maui. I would love to participate again in a different season. Thank you!

当日は台風一過で天候にも恵まれ、また新月だったこともあり星空観察には最高の日でした。山頂までに度々休憩を挟んでいただいたおかげで高山病にもならず、絶景を思う存分楽しむことができました。360°星空が見渡せる穴場スポットへ連れて行っていただき、星座を星座として認識できた感動はひとしおでした。スーパーでのおすすめ情報や山頂での温かいお茶など、やまぴーさんのお気遣い・お人柄が素晴らしく、海外でこのようなおもてなしを受けるとは思ってもみませんでした。今回のマウイ島旅行で一番の思い出となりました。また違う季節に参加してみたいです。ありがとうございました！

We've been on many excursions during our travels, but this one was by far the most memorable and breathtaking. Yoshi, our guide, was incredibly friendly and professional—one of the best we've ever had. We appreciated the seamless pick-up and drop-off service, and Yoshi made the long ride enjoyable with his great conversation. He's also perfectly bilingual in English and Japanese, which was a huge plus.

The view from the Haleakalā summit and the experience of watching the sunset were beyond words. We loved every moment of it and wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

What an experience. 10,000 feet up above the clouds and then to watch a mesmerising sunset followed by Stargazing and seeing the moon up close all with a fantastic guide. It all felt so surreal and would reccommend to anyone as a bucket list thing to experience with memories to last a lifetime.

The wonderful sunset from above the clouds, the starry sky that feels within reach—it's an indescribable view that left me completely satisfied. While there were many visitors at the summit, we occupied a slightly distant scenic spot on this tour. I was able to leisurely enjoy the sunset and the starry sky while eating poke bowls. Since we went up to 3,000 meters, we took breaks along the way, allowing us to ascend at a comfortable pace. I thought this tour would be suitable even for those with weaker legs. I learned a lot about photography and was able to take stunning photos and time-lapses!

I was torn between choosing the sunrise or this tour, but I absolutely recommend this one. Above all, I was touched by the hospitality of our guide, Mr. Yamap, who shared fun stories and even prepared warm drinks for us.

Please make sure to go! Satisfaction level is 10,000%!＼(^^)／

雲の上からの素晴らしいサンセット、触れそうな星空、全てが言葉にはできない絶景で、大満足でした。山頂はビジターもたくさん来てますが少し離れた絶景スポットをこのツアーで占領。ゆったりとポケ丼を食べながらサンセットから星空を思う存分鑑賞することができました。3000メートルまで行くので、途中休憩を取りながらゆっくり登って行ってくれます。このツアーなら足腰弱くなっても行けそうかなあと思いました。写真の撮り方もたくさん教わり、絶景写真やタイムラプスも撮れました！
　サンライズとどちらにするか、迷ってましたが、こちら絶対おすすめです。何より山Pさんのホスピタリティや楽しいお話や、温かい飲み物まで準備してくださるお心遣いにも感動しました･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+
　是非行って見てください〜。満足度10000%ですよ〜＼(^^)／

The fresh air in Haleakala is so wonderful to breathe in while zooming down! Great quality bikes as well- no issues.

My first time on Maui. I wasn't confident about driving to the summit of Haleakalā on my own, so I booked this tour. In the end, it was definitely the right decision to join this tour. Throughout the tour, Yamapi's thoughtful care was comforting, and I truly enjoyed watching the sunset and the starry sky. The poke bowl while enjoying the breathtaking views was also fantastic. I learned a lot about Maui, which became helpful tips for the rest of my trip. I would definitely like to participate again when I go back to Maui.

初めてのマウイ島。自力でレンタカーでハレアカラ登頂は自身なく、このツアーを予約しました。結果、このツアーに参加して大正解でした。
ツアーの間終始やまぴーさんの心遣いが心地よく、本当に楽しくサンセットと星空を鑑賞できました。
絶景を眺めながらのポケ丼も最高でした。
マウイ島の事もたくさん教えてくださり、その後の旅行のヒントになりました。
またマウイに行く時はぜひ参加したいです。

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Yoshi was knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. There are coats and blankets to use once you are at the top. Yoshi sets up chairs, takes pictures, provides hot tea or coffee and donuts, and does just the right amount of talking that provides information without disturbing your time to enjoy the whole experience. A packed dinner is necessary although we made a stop at the Kula Marketplace where food was available to purchase before getting to Haleakala. We are so glad we did this tour!!!

Tour was great from start to finish. Yoshi was kind and knowledgeable. He thought of everything from hot tea, candy, and Krispy cream donuts. It was a very windy evening and he changed up plans on the fly to get us out of the wind and get us the best stargazing experience he could. I would definitely book a tour with Yoshi again.

Yoshi was a fantastic guide that provided us with such a memorable experience. He supplied us with coats and blankets and snacks so that we were comfortable. He also showed us constellations and stars through his telescope. If you are fascinated by the stars you will never forget this experience. Must try!

The long journey from the hotel to Haleakalā was enjoyable with breaks along the way. We were introduced to various types of poke at Foodland, which we enjoyed after the tour at the hotel. Upon arriving at Haleakalā, I was excited by the magnificent scenery. They set up special seating for us to watch the sunset, and the colors of the sky changed beautifully to orange, blue, and green. I can still remember the gradient of the sky while waiting for the stars to appear as night fell. After a while, the starry sky was breathtaking—so many stars! I was amazed by the stunning view and was moved when they taught us about various constellations using a telescope. It was a great time to see the Southern Cross in the night sky, and capturing photos with the stars was also an emotional experience. I'm creating a memory album. My husband and I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was the first time with someone who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and they were truly moved. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi. I will visit Maui again!
