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＞

A tour full of nature experiences. 自然体験満載のツアー

Reviewed by: Golfgirl

I wanted to visit Haleakalā and Iao Valley, so I decided on this tour after comparing the cost-performance with other companies. One reason I chose this tour is that, unlike many tours where you view Iao Valley from the bus without getting off, this one allows you to get out and see it up close.

The driver was full of humor and provided clear explanations, and I was satisfied with the tour overall. However, I would like to mention three points for your reference:

1. At the summit of Haleakalā, the time was limited to 30 minutes, and the round trip from the parking lot to the rocky area was quite rushed, leaving no time to soak in the spiritual atmosphere.
2. The view of the waterfall flowing from the mountain in photos of Iao Valley was different from what I experienced. It seems to depend on the season, but at the end of August, I couldn't see the waterfall. However, it was pleasant to walk through the valley with flowing clear water and the refreshing negative ions.
3. The Italian restaurant where we had lunch was really delicious! Additionally, the surrounding shops were fun to explore for local clothing and accessories. There are also a grocery store and a popular local bakery, so I recommend finishing lunch early to allow time for shopping.

ハレアカラ、イアオ渓谷は行ってみたいポイントだったので、他社とコスパ比較した上で当ツアーに決めました。イアオ渓谷は、バスから降りずに車窓越しに見るツアーが多い中で、こちらは降りて見る事が出来るのも選んだもう一つの理由です。
ドライバーもユーモアたっぷりでわかりやすく説明してくれましたし、ツアー自体は満足していますが、3点ほどご紹介したい点があったので参照ください。
1.ハレアカラ頂上付近では30分と限られた時間で、駐車場から岩場を登り頂上までの往復はかなり慌ただしくスピリチャアルな余韻に浸る間もありませんでした。
2.イアオ渓谷は、写真で見る山から滝が流れている光景とは異なりました。時期によるそうですが、8末時期は滝は見れませんでした。流れる清水を見れるし、マイナスイオン漂う渓谷中を散歩するのは心地よかったです。
3.ランチを頂いたイタリアンレストランはすごく美味しかったです！加え周りのショップはローカルの洋服、アクセサリー等見るのに楽しかったです。グロッサリーストアや地元て人気のベーカリーショップがあるので早めにランチを切り上げ、お買い物時間にあてるのをおすすめします。

Wonderful sunrise. 素晴らしい朝日

Reviewed by: マミ。

When I went to Maui, I definitely wanted to see the sunrise at Haleakalā, so I joined this tour! And I got to see the most amazing sunrise!! The tour was a simple one with transportation and breakfast included, but I enjoyed it enough. Just be aware that it doesn't include any warm clothing, so please prepare that yourself. Also, everyone except us was foreign.

マウイ島に行ったら、絶対にハレアカラの朝日を観たいと思ってこのツアーに参加しました！
そして、最高の朝日が拝めました！！
ツアーとしては、送迎と朝ご飯付きの簡単なツアーでしたが充分楽しめました。防寒具とかも何もついてないので
ご自身で用意して下さい。あと私達以外は全員、外人でした

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＞

I want to go again. また行きたい

Reviewed by: JIRU

I searched for a Japanese-guided tour with Sunrise Tours but couldn't find one, so I thought, "Well, anything I can see with an English guide is fine!" and decided to join this tour.

I was nervous about the reconfirmation once I arrived, but I completely replaced the instructions from Veltra on "how to reconfirm in English" with my own and managed to get through it successfully!

We were picked up at 2:20 AM and boarded a shared bus, listening to the guide talk about what I believe was the history of Hawaii as we headed to the summit. The other foreign passengers were surprisingly underdressed, but some started to bundle up as we gained altitude.

When we reached the visitor center near the summit and got off the bus, the strong wind was so intense that it felt like we could be blown away. It was hard to even catch my breath. Despite this, we made it to the viewpoint and waited there, enduring the cold and wind in the dark. Slowly, an orange light began to appear. The sun rose very gradually, coloring the clouds in a way I had never seen before. The moment the sunlight broke through, the locals began to sing. A truly sacred and majestic atmosphere filled the air. It was an emotional experience that I will never forget.

After watching the sunrise, we went to the summit and enjoyed the view from there. It was a 360-degree panorama. It wasn't the panorama of buildings seen from Tokyo's Tokyo Skytree, but a breathtaking natural panorama! I learned that the silver sword plant only blooms once every 20 years, but there were many in bloom.

It might have been better if I understood English more, but I managed to get by with a basic understanding. I definitely plan to participate again the next time I visit Maui.

サンライズツアーで日本語ガイドのツアーを探しましたが見つからず、まぁ英語ガイドでも見られるものは一緒！と思ってこのツアーに参加しました。
現地に着いてからのリコンファームからドキドキでしたが、ベルトラさんの「英語でのリコンファームの仕方」をまるまるそっくり自分に置き換えて伝え、無事にクリアできました！
早朝2:20ピックアップで混載バスに乗りガイドさんのたぶんハワイの歴史と思われる話を聞きながら山頂に向かいました。同乗の外人さんたちはびっくりするはどの薄着でしたが、高度が上がるにつれて着膨れしていく方もいました。
山頂付近のビジターセンターまで上がりバスを降りるとガイドさんもびっくりするほどの強い風で吹き飛ばされるほどでした。息を吸うのもやっとな感じです。そんな中ビューポイントまでやってきてそこで待機。じーっと寒さと風に耐えながら真っ暗な中待っているとオレンジ色の光がうっすらさしてきます。本当にゆっくりゆっくり日が昇っていき雲を染めていきます。本当に今までに見たことのない光景です。太陽の光が差した瞬間現地の方達が歌い始めます。本当に神聖な荘厳な空気があたりに満ちました。感動的な体験で一生忘れないと思います。
サンライズを見た後は山頂まで行き、そこからの展望を楽しみました。360度の大パノラマです。東京の◯◯ツリーから見る建物のパノラマでなく、自然のパノラマにも感動！高山植物の銀剣草も20年に1度しか花を咲かせないそうですがたーくさん咲いていました。
英語がもっとわかればもっとよかったかもしれないけれど、なんとなくわかる程度でも大丈夫。また今度マウイに行った時には是非参加しようと思いました。

Luau was great, show was wonderful, however we paid for VIP seating & didn't get the front seats as expected but was sat with people that paid just for the luau so why did I pay 25.00 extra per person to get the better seats. All was great except seating. Food was good & drinks was good except you had to get your own when it stated in the VIP tickets they bring you the drinks you ordered. Overall would go again but not pay for VIP seating.

We have been to 6-8 different Luaus in Maui, and this one is one of the top two we have seen. Food was excellent, better than all except Marriott's. Service was better than all. The server in our section even went to get our mix drinks (both virgin and regular). Show was great telling the story of the Hawaii Islands, not just a mix of various dance styles. The tables are stair step so even the back tables have a good view of the stage without having to look around other heads.

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 pleasantly exceeded my expectations. いい意味で予想を裏切ってくれます

Reviewed by: Shima

After arriving on Maui, I felt anxious due to the cloudy weather with occasional rain, but as we got closer to the summit, we were greeted with a stunning starry sky! We were also able to see the sunrise clearly, which swept away my worries! It was a truly wonderful experience!

We stayed at the Maui Seaside Hotel near Kahului Airport, so our pickup was scheduled for 3:10 AM. It was helpful that it was later than in other areas. However, by 3:20 AM, no one had arrived, and I started to feel anxious. I tried calling the hotel front desk, but I couldn't get through. Just then, the pickup bus arrived, and the driver greeted us cheerfully without any sign of concern.

As mentioned in other reviews, the English-speaking guide was very energetic, mixing in jokes and creating a lively atmosphere on the bus. I regretted not understanding more English, but the guide occasionally included some Japanese, which was nice.

By the time we reached the middle of the mountain, we were already above the clouds, and the starry sky was incredibly beautiful. When the bus arrived at the parking lot, we were asked about our breakfast preferences before getting off. Since it was a tour without warm clothing provided, I brought a lot of old clothes to keep warm. I wore a windbreaker, a fleece, two sweaters, an inner layer, two pairs of leggings, pants, gloves, a hat, and a hot pack. You definitely need that much to stay warm.

We walked a little from the parking lot and waited for the sunrise. There were quite a few tourists, and many seemed to be there individually. However, I think it would be difficult for anyone not very experienced to drive on the night roads by themselves.

Needless to say, the sunrise was incredibly beautiful, but I was also impressed by the clouds and sky reflecting the morning light. After enjoying the sunrise, we returned to the bus for a break with warm coffee and pastries. We then moved the vehicle a bit to head to the summit, where we enjoyed the views and looked at high-altitude plants.

When we got back in the car, the guide started talking about the history, but I realized I had fallen fast asleep. When we arrived at the breakfast venue, a golf course, I took off all the winter clothes I had been wearing and was in short sleeves. The temperature difference was shocking.

All the tour guests gathered around a table for breakfast. We could choose from a fruit and yogurt plate, hash browns, pancakes, and more. The golf course was beautifully green and felt very pleasant. We arrived back at the hotel around 11:00 AM.

I was able to make good use of my time, and it was a very good trip!

マウイ島到着後、曇り時々雨が続いた為不安が募りましたが、山頂に近づくにつれ満点の星空！朝日もしっかりと見ることができ、不安を一掃してくれました！非常によい体験でした！

私達はカフルイ空港周辺のマウイシーサイドホテルに宿泊していたので、3:10にピックアップ予定。他の地域より遅めで助かりました。
3:20になっても迎えがこず、不安になりホテルフロントから電話をかけましたが繋がりません。そうこうしているうちにお迎えのバスが到着。悪びれる様子はなく、陽気に迎えてくれます。
他の方の口コミにもありますが、英語ガイドの方がテンション高く、冗談を交えつつ大盛り上がりのバス内。もっと英語がわかればと後悔もしますが、時々日本語も交えて絡んでくれます。
山の中腹過ぎたあたりですでに雲の上なのか、星空が見え、とても綺麗でした。
バスが駐車場に到着したら朝ごはんのリクエストを聞かれ、準備をして車を降ります。
防寒着無しのツアーでしたので、古着を沢山持って行き寒さを凌ぎます。
私は上はウィンドブレーカー、フリース、セーター2枚、インナー、下はレギンス2枚にパンツ、手袋と帽子、ホッカイロを完備。それくらいないと寒いです。
駐車場から少し歩いたところでひたすら日の出を待ちます。かなりの人数の観光客の方がいらっしゃり、個人で来てる方も沢山いるようでした。ただ相当慣れてる方でないと夜道の運転を個人でするのは難しいと思います。
言うまでもなく、朝日がとても綺麗でしたが、朝の光が映る雲や空も本当に綺麗で感激しました。
朝日を堪能後はバスに戻り、暖かいコーヒーとペストリーを頂きブレイク。少し車を移動させ頂上へいき、景色を眺めたり、高地植物をみたり。
車に戻ると歴史についてお話ししてくれるのですが、気がついたら爆睡しておりました。
朝食会場のゴルフ場に着くと、先ほどまで着ていた冬服を全て脱ぎ、半袖で姿に。気温差が激しくびっくりします。
ツアー客全員でテーブルを囲い朝ごはん。
フルーツ・ヨーグルトプレート、ハッシュドポテト、パンケーキなどから選べます。
ゴルフ場は緑が綺麗でとても気持ちよかったです。
ホテルには11;00頃到着。
時間を有効活用でき、とてもよい旅でした！

We were greeted by a very pleasant man who offered us assistance in finding out bags and rental car. Our leis were so beautiful, and kept several days in the fridge for repeat wear..

Reviewed by: SkeeterNWife

The display/aquarium was lovely and entertaining. The staff in the aquarium was knowledgeable and friendly. However, we went to the Seascape restaurant and it took about 5 minutes for the server to acknowledge us, with the acknowledgement being cold and mediocre. We then noticed that they quickly greeted and offered service to a caucasian family as soon as they walked in the door. After waiting another few minutes for the server to come back and take our order, we decided to eat elsewhere. Never been treated like that at a facility before. Terrible impression of the Seascape restaurant, which ultimately spilled into the mood of the aquarium trip. Shame on those servers for making anyone feel like that... Will never return when we visit Maui again.
