The overall experience was very authentic. Loved the performances and the history of the Hawaiian Islands. By the ocean arrangements and the traditional seating (our choice) and unlimited drinks was a plus. Its is a must in your itinerary.

Enjoyed the ride to the summit, but our stay at the top was spoilt by cloud and horizontal drizzle. Iao valley was a pleasant stop on the return journey.

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!

This was our second time for this particular luau. (We obviously liked it the first time also) The food was as good as we remembered from our previous trip ( 2 years ago ) and the entertainment took a big step forward with both the dancers and the master of ceremonies . Had a great time!

We read it was a good idea to do this at the beginning of your trip so you're still on your 'time' due to the early morning time frame. Even though you are going to nice warm Maui, it is very cold up there early morning. You are in the elements for about an hour, bring a jacket, blanket, beach towel, something... It's easier to enjoy the spectacular sunrise if you're not freezing.
Glen was a fun tour guide. We enjoyed our morning with Glen.
The view at breakfast was beautiful.

I can't forget the sunrise I saw at Mauna Kea on the Big Island, so I joined a sunrise tour at Haleakalā as well. Even though my English isn't great, we managed just fine, so you will too. The sunrise was truly magnificent. After the sun rose, Haleakalā felt so otherworldly, almost magical and mysterious. I was also very happy that they chanted as the sun rose.
ハワイ島マウナケアでみた朝日が忘れられず、ハレアカラでもサンライズツアーに参加しました。英語が苦手な私たちでもなんとかできたので、大丈夫です。やはり、朝日は素晴らしかった。朝日が昇った後のハレアカラは、この世のものとは思えないほど、幻想的で神秘的な感じがしました。日の出と同時にチャントを唱えてくれるのもとっても嬉しかったです。

Due to environmental protection measures at Haleakalā, there is now a limit on the number of people who can climb Haleakalā, and sunrise tours have been canceled everywhere. The only option we found was Veltra. Since it was an English tour, we were very anxious as we hardly understood English, but we thought that no matter what was explained, the view would remain the same, so we decided to participate.
After arriving on Maui, we asked the Japanese staff at the hotel to help us with phone contact. There were about 20 participants, including four Japanese, including us. The guide and driver explained (probably) the history of Haleakalā and the types of plants in English as we headed to the summit. When we arrived, the starry sky was breathtaking, and we could see shooting stars. We were told we could rest on the bus since there was still time until sunrise, but the beauty of the scenery and the increasing number of tourists made us wait outside in the cold for about two hours to secure a good spot for photos. Unfortunately, the weather was such that the sunrise was hidden behind clouds, although we could clearly see flashes of lightning illuminating the clouds. However, the red light peeking through the clouds was beautiful in its own way. Even though we couldn't understand English, the scenery was amazing! We were very moved.
However, as we had anticipated, it was very cold at the summit, and the bus was not very cool for Hawaii. We brought so many warm clothes that they took up a quarter of our suitcase, but we were still extremely cold and couldn't stop shivering. Some people around us were just wrapped in hotel bath towels. I recommend that participants bring as much warm clothing as possible.
ハレアカラの環境保護から、ハレアカラに登る人数に上限ができ、サンライズのツアーがどこも中止になっている中、唯一見つけたのがベルトラでした。英語でのツアーということで、英語がほとんど分からない私たちはとても不安でしたが、何を説明されようと見える景色は変わらないだろうと思い、参加しました。
マウイ島に到着してからの電話連絡はホテルの日本人スタッフにお願いをしました。
参加者は20名ほど。うち日本人は私たち含め4人でした。ガイド兼運転手は、もちろん英語で(おそらく)ハレアカラの歴史や植物の種類などを説明しながら山頂まで向かいます。到着した時は満天の星空が広がり、流れ星も見えました。(おそらく)サンライズまで時間があるからバスで休んでてもいいよと言われましたが、あまりのキレイさと、どんどん観光客が増えていき写真撮影の場所取りのため、かれこれ2時間寒空の下、日の出を待ちました。残念ながら雲が多く、どこがで光る稲妻がピカッと雲の中からはっきり見えるくらいの天候だったため、朝日は雲に隠れていましたが、雲から覗く赤い光はそれはそれでとてもキレイでした。英語は分からなくても、やっぱり景色はすごい!とても感動しました。
ただ、覚悟はしていたものの、頂上はとても寒く、それでいてバスの中はハワイにしてはあまりクーラーが効かず…。スーツケースの4分の1を防寒着が占めるほど、たくさん持っていきましたが、それでもすごく寒く震えが止まりませんでした。周りの海外の人は、ホテルのバスタオルを巻いているだけの人もいましたが…。参加される方は、これでもかというくらい防寒着を持っていくことをお薦めします。

The venue with about 500 seats set up in the seaside square of the Wailea Marriott was fully booked. We were given leis, and before the show, there were free drinks (including alcohol) and food that we could choose from at each table. By the time we finished eating, the show began. Most of the audience were tourists from the mainland United States, with a few from Japan, Korea, and China. There were many families and newlyweds from various countries, and they called children up to the stage and introduced the newlyweds during hug time. The fire show and hula dance lasted about two hours and passed by in no time. It was so much fun!

The sunrise tour starts early but it is totally worth it! None of the pictures I saw of the sunrise can communicate the shear beauty of the view. The sun creeps over the cloud cover and suddenly everything is lit up with golden sunshine. After that, they took us to the summit and a couple other places on the mountain to see the crater and then took us back down and served us breakfast.
