ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー　マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる ＜午前／朝食付き／英語ガイド＞

It's very good. 大変良いです

Reviewed by: おもたろう

We participated as a family of four in August, with our children being 9 and 6 years old. Since we were staying at the Westin Maui, we met at the Group Entrance next to Whale's Village (where the shuttle bus for SPG hotels stops for Lahaina) at 2:20 AM. It's necessary to confirm by phone by the day before.

While waiting at that location, the first bus arrived earlier than scheduled. I was a bit anxious about whether we were supposed to take this bus, but we ended up transferring to a larger bus in Kahului. In the end, we were the only Japanese participants. The female driver and guide on this bus was amazing. She recommended chewing gum to prevent ear pressure. I was fine without it, but those who are concerned might want to prepare some. It seems you can buy gum at a convenience store during the transfer in Kahului. There weren't many cars on the way from Kahului to Haleakalā, but since it's a mountain road at night, I recommend joining a tour if you're not confident in your driving skills. Animals also seem to come out onto the road. According to the guide, if you haven't registered and paid online in advance, you won't be able to enter the park at sunrise. I actually saw several cars in front of us turning back.

I think we arrived at the sunrise viewing spot before 5 AM. First of all, both buses were quite cold due to the air conditioning, so it's a good idea to dress warmly. There are restrooms between the bus stop and the sunrise spot. I dressed the kids warmly there as it was quite cold. I recommend a lightweight down jacket, gloves, a scarf, a hat, and hand warmers. It's just a short walk from the restroom to the sunrise spot. It’s dark, so having a flashlight might be helpful, but it's not essential as you won't use it much aside from adjusting your camera. The sunrise was around 5:50 AM, so we ended up waiting outside for nearly an hour. On the tour, they guided us to a good spot for viewing the sunrise. Another male guide, who was acquainted with the female bus guide, helped out at the sunrise spot, taking care of the kids and taking photos for us. Whether to bring a tripod is a dilemma. If you really want to capture the starry sky before sunrise and don’t mind carrying extra gear, it could be worth it.

Despite the weather forecast, the sunrise spot was clear, and we were able to see the most beautiful sunrise. It's hard to explain in words or photos, but I believe it's worth seeing at least once in your life. The view of the crater below is also breathtaking. We returned to the bus at 6:15 AM. From there, we moved to the summit by bus, where there are about three photo spots. Even if you don't take photos, the views of the ocean and islands are quite impressive. It seems that if you do your research beforehand, you'll know what to expect, but for those unfamiliar, it felt a bit uncertain whether we were allowed to be there, so participating in the tour was definitely worthwhile. After getting back on the bus, we were offered coffee and Danish pastries (which are sold in supermarkets and come in various flavors). We then headed for breakfast. The bus stopped at a photo spot along the way, where we took beautiful pictures.

For breakfast, you can choose from three options: pancakes, fruit, or something like bacon, which we ate at a restaurant attached to a golf course. I think it’s best not to have high expectations for the taste. Even if you don't understand English, you can manage, but it’s definitely helpful to understand the guide's information. As of the time I’m writing this, there shouldn’t be a Japanese sunrise tour available (though there is a starry sky tour). This might also be related to the aforementioned entry restrictions.

According to the hotel concierge, there seems to be a limousine tour for about $250 per person, but unfortunately, we couldn't participate as it was fully booked. During the summer when we participated, many people come from the mainland U.S. to Maui, so it fills up quickly. Once

家族4名で8月に参加しました。うち、子供は9才6才です。Westin Mauiに滞在していたので、ホテルのGroup EntranceというWhale's Villageの横の入口(SPG系列のホテルとラハイナまでの巡回バスが停まるところ）で、午前2時20分待ち合わせでした。前日までに再確認の電話をする必要があります。
その場所で待っていると予定時間より早く最初のバスが到着。このバスで行くのか少し不安でしたが、カフルイでより大型のバスに乗り換えることになりました。結局日本人は私達だけでした。このバスのドライバー兼ガイドさんの女性がすごかったです。ガムとか噛むことを勧めていました。空気が耳に詰まることを防ぐためのようです。私は噛まなくても大丈夫でしたが、気になる方は準備されてもよいでしょう。ガムは、カフルイでの乗り換え時にコンビニみたいな所で買うことができるようです。カフルイからハレアカラまで、車は多くはなかったですが、夜の山道なので運転技術に自信がない方はツアー参加をおすすめします。動物も道路に出てくるみたいです。ガイドさんの話によると、事前にインターネットで登録して料金を支払っていないと今はすくなくとも日の出の時に入山できないようです。実際、前にいた何台かの車が引き返していく様子を見ました。
日の出を見るスポットには午前5時前には着いたと思います。まず、バスが二台とも結構空調が利いて寒いので厚着をしていてもいいと思います。日の出スポットに行くためのバスの停車場所と、日の出スポットの間にトイレがあります。子どもたちはその前で厚着をさせました。結構寒いです。薄手のダウン、手袋、マフラー、帽子、カイロをおすすめします。トイレから日の出スポットまでほんの少し歩きます。暗いので懐中電灯があってもいいですが、この道とカメラの調節以外は使わないので必須ではないです。日の出は午前5時50分位だったので1時間近く外で待つことになりました。ツアーでいくと、日の出を見る良い場所に案内してくれました。その女性バスガイドさんの知り合いである別の男性ガイドさんが、日の出スポットで色々と面倒を観てくれて子どもたちの面倒をみてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれました。三脚を持っていくかは悩ましいです。日の出前の星空をどうしても撮影したいとか、荷物が苦にならないのであればありだと思います。
当日は天気予報にも拘わらず、日の出スポットは晴れており、最高の日の出を見ることができました。これは言葉や写真で上手く説明できないてすが、人生において一度は見ておく価値があると思います。眼下のクレーターのような感じも圧巻てす。午前6時15分にバスに戻りました。ここから、バスで山頂へ移動しました。ここでも三カ所位写真スポットがあります。写真をとらなくても、海や島が見える景色はかなり見応えがあります。事前によく調べていればわかるみたいですが、慣れない人間には、そこに行っていいのか微妙な感じでしたので、この点もツアーに参加した甲斐がありました。バスに戻ってから、コーヒーとデニッシュ（スーパーとかで売っている・何種類か味がある）の提供がありました。その後朝食に向かいました。途中、写真スポットでバスが停車しましたのでそこでも美しい写真を撮りました。
朝食は、車中でパンケーキ、フルーツ、ベーコンのようなものの三種類から選択します。ゴルフ場併設のレストランで食べますが、味はそれ程期待しない方がよいと思います。
英語は解らなくてもなんとかなりますが、ガイドさんの話に何かと参考になることもあるのでできるにこしたことはないです。これを書いている時点ては日本語日の出ツアーは催行されていなかったはずです（星空ツアーはある）。これも前述の入山規制と関係あるのかもしれかせん。
このツアー以外にホテルのコンシェルジェによると、一人250$くらいのリムジンみたいなので行くツアーもあるようです。ちなみにこちらは予約一杯で参加できませんでした。
我々が参加した夏場は、アメリカ本土からマウイに来る人が多く早めにいっぱいになるようです。日程が決まったらキャンセルできるのでとにかく早めに予約する事をおすすめします。

Seeing the sunrise come up over the clouds was a spectacular site! Truly a once in a lifetime moment. It was super cold! I thought I was being silly packing gloves and a toboggan in with my luggage but I appreciated them once I was at 10,000 feet. Our tour guide driver was the best! I remembered so much information he shared about the history and facts of the island.

Came to Maui for my honeymoon and of course had to see a luau. We had originally booked another luau but heard great things about the royal Lahaina so we decided to change it last minute. They were able to seat us in the second row as VIP. The ocean view was breathtaking, the dancing was amazing and the dancers were gorgeous. Unlimited food and drinks made it that much more fun. It rained during the luau but it was definitely an experience my fiancé and I will never forget. Would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Wonderful Hawaiian Experience

Reviewed by: rachgabe

The Old Lahaina Luau was a wonderful addition to our Maui honeymoon itinerary. The evening encompassed many of the Hawaiian traditions we hoped to experience while visiting. The food was excellent and there were plenty of dishes to choose from. There were also a good amount of drink options. The entertainment was fantastic. There were so many small details that made the evening even more special. We also appreciated the banana bread we were gifted at the end of the night. We had it for a late night snack a couple of nights after the event and it still tasted yummy. The service from the staff was friendly. We parked in the overflow lot which was a convenient location from the luau. We recommend this luau.

ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー　マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる ＜午前／朝食付き／英語ガイド＞

The sunrise was very beautiful☆ 日の出はとてもきれいでした☆

Reviewed by: さーちゃん

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。
