The tour was amazing, allowing us to experience the sunset from the summit, along with the moon, Mickey Mouse, Jupiter, Saturn, and many stars in the night sky. I think it's a must-do tour when you visit Maui.
山頂からのサンセットから月面のミッキーマウスや木星、土星など沢山の星空を経験出来るツアーで最高でした。マウイ島に来たら、是非行くべきツアーだと思います。

It was truly a wonderful and memorable trip. I couldn't believe we could drive up to over 3,000 meters! I felt that our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, who must have climbed Haleakalā many times before, was giving his all to entertain us each time. He explained the climate, weather, and history with professional knowledge, mixing in entertainment elements so that even a novice like me could understand.
It was a half-day that never got boring. The choice of background music was also lovely, adding to the extraordinary atmosphere and making the long drive feel engaging rather than dull. To be able to see the stripes of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn—it's a cliché, but it really makes you feel how vast the world is.
本当に素晴らしく、想い出に残る旅となりました。
標高3,000m以上のところまで車で上がれるとは!ガイドの山内さんは、これまで何度となく登っているはずのハレアカラなのに、毎回全力で楽しませて下さっているのだろうと感じました。気候、気象、歴史などプロフェッショナルの知識に私のような素人にもわかりやすいようエンタメ目線も交えて説明してくれました。
飽きることのない半日でした。非日常のシーンにふさわしいBGMのチョイスも素敵で、長い車移動の時間を無味乾燥なものにさせない気遣いも感じました。
木星の縞模様、土星の輪を見ることができるなんて。月並みですが、世界は広いなぁと感じます。
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the Star Tour. We hope you will also join us for the East and West Maui Tours next time.
星ツア―をお楽しみ頂け、嬉しい体験談をお送り頂きまして、ありがとうございます。

This is the number one optional tour I've participated in so far! The guide, Yamapi, really conveyed his desire for the participants to enjoy themselves, and I was moved by his hospitality. I believe this is a tour he has done many times, but I felt he delivered the best performance every time. I think that's truly amazing.
Haleakalā has an elevation similar to that of Mount Fuji, so I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but we ascended the mountain by car with breaks along the way, which minimized the physical strain, and I had no problems at all.
The sunset viewed from the grand panorama, the shadow of the Earth, and the starry sky were beyond what can be captured in photos; the scenery I saw with my own eyes is something I will never forget for the rest of my life.
After stargazing, I felt my heart was cleansed while listening to Yamapi's stories over a warm cup of tea. Since this trip was a turning point in my life, it resonated deeply with me, and I felt motivated to keep moving forward.
Considering the history of the stars, I want to live my life to the fullest without regrets, even if it's just for the blink of an eye! I hope to bring my family here someday. Thank you so much, Yamapi!
今まで参加したオプショナルツアーの中でNo.1です!
ガイドの山ピーさんが、参加者に楽しんでもらいたいと思う気持ちが伝わってきて、そのホスピタリティにも感動しました。きっと何回も行っているツアーだと思いますが、毎回最高のパフォーマンスをされているのだなと感じました。本当にすごいことだと思います。
ハレアカラは富士山とさほど変わらない標高で、高山病なと少し心配もしていましたが、少しずつ休憩しながら車で山を上がっていくので、体の負担も最小限で、全く問題なかったです。
大パノラマで見るサンセット、地球の影、満点の星空、写真では伝えるには限界があるほど、自分の目でみた景色は、これから一生忘れることはないと思います。
スターゲイジングの後に、温かいお茶を飲みながら、山ピーさんのお話を聞いて、心が洗われた気持ちになりました。人生の分岐点での旅だったので、ぐっと刺さるものがあり、また前を向いて頑張っていこうと思えました。
星の歴史からすると、瞬き3回ほどの人生を精一杯、悔いなく生きたいと思います!
いつか家族を連れて、またここに来たいです。
山ピーさん、本当にありがとうございました!
I feel that Haleakalā has some incredible power. As I climb to the summit at 3,000 meters every day and watch the sunset and stars, I think about living life to the fullest and hope to be of help to others, even just a little. I'll do my best!
ハレアカラ山は何か凄いパワーを持っている気が致します。自分も毎日3000メートルの山頂に登りながら夕焼けと星を観ていて想うのは一生懸命生きて、少しでも人の力になれたらいいなぁと思っています。頑張ります!

Star Tour
Beautiful sunset, earth blue, and a starry sky! (It was close to a new moon) It was a very satisfying tour! Since it was a tour where we could move around by car, it was fine not to wear trekking shoes. I didn't imagine it would get that cold, but even with a shirt, hoodie, ultra-light down jacket, fleece-lined tights, a stole, the jacket I borrowed, gloves, and a blanket, I still felt cold. They mentioned it was good that there was no wind, but if you don't need it, you can leave everything in the car, so if you're sensitive to the cold, it's better to bring some extra layers. You can take really beautiful photos with a DSLR or mirrorless camera!
Since it's a natural experience, I can't guarantee the conditions will be perfect, but if you're going to Maui, I think this is a tour you absolutely should participate in. I definitely want to come back again.
星ツアー
綺麗な夕焼け、アースブルー、満点の星空!(新月に近かったため)大満足のツアーでした!
車で全て移動できるツアーなのでトレッキングシューズじゃなくても大丈夫でした。
そこまで寒くなることを想像できずにいましたが、シャツ、パーカー、ウルトラライトダウン、裏起毛のタイツ、ストール、お借りしたジャケットに手袋、毛布でも寒さを感じました。風がなくてまだよかったとの話でしたが、いらなければ車に全て置いておけるので寒いのが苦手な方は持って行った方がいいです。
一眼やミラーレスだと本当に綺麗な写真が撮れます!
自然のことなので、コンディション良くしっかり見られるかわかりませんが、マウイ島へ行くのであれば、絶対に参加すべきツアーだと思いました。また絶対に来たいです。
Thank you for sharing your satisfying experience. It truly is a natural phenomenon; while last night had a wonderful starry sky, tonight we might not see anything at all. That might be one of the great aspects of nature. Thank you again. Please do visit Maui again!

I participated quite a while ago, but the detours and drive to the summit of Haleakalā, along with the guide's talk, were very interesting and made for wonderful memories. The gradient of the sunset was truly beautiful and moving. The stargazing was also enjoyable, as they provided warm clothing, hot drinks, and chairs, allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience.

For about 10 years, I have wanted to participate in this tour, and although I traveled alone this time, I decided to join. It was a wonderful time like no other, filled with warmth and a profound sense of emotion that truly conveyed Yamapi's heart and feelings to the core.
I was able to join the tour right at the moment of the countdown from the Heisei era to the Reiwa era in Japan, and it felt like I was welcoming a new era while enjoying the sunset at Haleakalā.
Additionally, the starry sky in the best condition was more amazing than I had imagined, and Yamapi's stories brought forth feelings of gratitude and various emotions. When taking photos, he even checked the settings on my camera and smartphone, allowing me to capture pictures that I truly wanted to keep.
It was a fun and wonderful tour that makes me want to participate every year. Thank you very much!
10年ほど前から、どうしてもこのツアーに参加したく、今回一人旅でしたが、思い切って参加させて頂きました。
とにかく山ピーさんの心や気持ちが骨の髄まで伝わってくるような、温かで、そして大きな感動と感激を生む、今までにない素敵な時間でした。
私はちょうど日本時間で平成から令和へのカウントダウンのタイミングでこのツアーに参加できたので、ハレアカラのサンセットを見ながら過ごすことができ、良き新しい時代を迎えられるような気持ちがしました。
また、最高のコンディションでの星空は想像以上に素晴らしく、山ピーさんのお話に、感謝や色々な思いがこみ上げてきました。
写真を撮る際も、カメラやスマホの設定まで見て下さるので、ずっと残したいと思える写真を撮ることもできました。

It's been several years since I learned about the guide Yamapi on the information program "In Love with Hawaii"... I never imagined that I would have the chance to meet him. That made the moment of the hotel pickup incredibly emotional for me. For Yamapi, it may have just been another day in his 15-year career, but he navigated with full effort and led us to breathtaking views that I had never seen before. Standing at a crossroads in my life, his words shared under the starry sky resonated deeply with me. My visit to Maui, which I intended to be a culmination of my experiences, has now turned into a hope that I will definitely return! Thank you very much.
情報番組『ハワイに恋して』でガイドのヤマピーさんを存じ上げてから幾年…まさかお会いできる日がくるとは思ってもいませんでした。それだけに、ホテルピックアップの時点で感無量。ヤマピーさんにおかれてはキャリア15年のうちの1回にすぎない1日も、全力でナビゲートしていただき、見たことのない素晴らしい景色に導いて下さいました。私自身、人生の岐路に立っている今、星空のもと語られたヤマピーさんのお言葉が胸に響きました。私にとって集大成のつもりで訪れたマウイ島がまた必ずや戻ってくるぞ!の希望にかわりました。ありがとうございました。

On the day of the event, the wind was calm, and there were no clouds, creating the perfect conditions. We leisurely made our way to the summit, taking multiple bathroom breaks. At Foodland, we received recommendations from our guide, Yama-P, and it felt like we were on a little supermarket tour, which was fun! We ended up buying a lot of recommended items. We also chose our sushi for dinner there. As we climbed to the summit, we enjoyed listening to Yama-P's stories. He took us to a less crowded spot for the sunset. We enjoyed our time for about 30 minutes until the sunset. After reaching the summit, we took pictures and received explanations while it was still slightly bright. It gets quite chilly at the summit, so don’t forget to dress warmly! Afterward, we descended a bit and finally did some stargazing! While they prepared chairs, we enjoyed the dinner we bought from the supermarket in the car. It was nice to have it in a warm setting. We also had some warm tea.
When we stepped outside and looked up, we were amazed by the stunning night sky! The number of stars visible to the naked eye was unlike anything I had ever seen before, spanning 180 degrees... this was a first-time experience for me. It was truly a natural planetarium! It was beautifully set up. We also used a telescope to see many stars that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
Other stargazing tours often require standing or viewing in the cold, which can be tough for someone like me who isn't fond of the cold. However, this tour allowed us to sit in chairs, and they even provided warm blankets and gloves, making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience without any strain!
当日は風が少なく、雲もなく最高のコンディションでした。何度もトイレ休憩を挟みながらのんびり山頂へ向かいます。途中で寄ってくれるFoodlandでは山ピーさんお勧めの物を教えて貰えて、スーパーのツアーをして頂けたようで楽しかったです!お勧めを沢山買ってしまいました。夜ご飯になるお寿司もそこで自分達で選びました。山頂到着まで山ピーさんのお話を聞きながらまったり登ります。サンセットは人の少ないスポットに連れて行ってくれます。サンセットまでの約30分間それぞれの時間を楽しみました。サンセット後はまず山頂へ。まだ薄明るい中で写真を撮ったり説明を受けます。山頂はやはりぐんと冷え込みますので、厚着をお忘れなく!その後また少し降り、最後に星空観測です!椅子などを準備して頂いている間に、スーパーで買った夕食を車の中で頂きました。暖かい中で頂けるのは嬉しかったです。温かいお茶も頂きました。
外に出て、上を見上げパッと目を開けた時には感動の夜空が広がっていました!今まで見たことのない星の数が肉眼で見れます。それも180度…こんな体験は初めてです。まさに天然プラネタリウム=天プラ!上手に仕上がってました。笑
望遠鏡も使って肉眼では見れない星も沢山見させて頂きました。
他の星空観測ツアーは立ったままみたり、寒い中見たりと、寒さが苦手な私には星を楽しみたい反面酷な時間でもあったのですが、このツアーは椅子に座りながら、温かい毛布と手袋まで下さり、無理なく楽しめる大満足のツアーでした!
I'm glad I could assist with the emotional star tour. It's a magnificent nature, isn't it? Thank you very much.
感動の星ツアーのお手伝いが出来て嬉しいです。

I initially considered going by rental car, but it was definitely the right choice to sign up for the tour. The continuous curves and some roads without guardrails are safer to leave to the professionals. My 7-year-old and 11-year-old participated as well, and there were no issues since we took breaks and ascended slowly. For those who are prone to motion sickness, it's advisable to take medication in advance and ensure you get plenty of sleep. The tour content is as others have described, and I can only say that Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was outstanding. This is definitely a recommended tour if you go to Maui.
当初レンタカーで行くことも考えましたがツアーに申し込んで正解でした カーブの連続で一部ガードレールもない道はプロにお任せした方が安全です 7歳と11歳の子供も参加しましたが休憩を入れながらゆっくり登って行くので問題ありません 車酔いに弱い方はあらかじめ薬を飲んで睡眠をしっかり取っておくと良いでしょう ツアー内容は他の方が書かれている通りで、山内さんのガイドは素晴らしいの一言 マウイ行ったら絶対におすすめのツアーです
Children aged 5 and older can participate in the tour. The difficulty for younger children is the altitude of 3000 meters, which can cause ear pain if they cannot equalize. If they take their time climbing, they should be fine.
お子様も5才以上であれはツァーに参加出来ます。小さいお子様が難しいのは3000メートルなので耳抜きが出来なくて痛くなってしまう事なのです。ご自分でもゆっくり登られたら大丈夫です。

The sunset and starry sky can be affected by weather conditions, but they always guide you with the best points of the day in mind. They provide thoughtful restroom breaks and souvenir recommendations, and gradually acclimate you to the high altitude, so it wasn't physically taxing. I had the best Haleakalā sunset and stargazing experience. They provide plenty of warm gear, but for those who are concerned about the cold, I recommend preparing even more as if for mid-winter.
天候のコンディションによりサンセットや星空は左右されますが、その日の最高ポイントを常に考えて案内してくださいます。細やかなトイレ休憩やお土産のオススメ、高地にも徐々に慣らして行けるので体も辛くなりませんでした。最高のハレアカラーサンセット・星空体験ができました。防寒グッズを十分用意してくださってますが、寒さが心配と思われる方はさらに自身で真冬並みに備えることをオススメします。

The next day, I heard the mountains were closed due to snow. In Maui, you can swim at the beach and see snow on the mountains.

Will I be warm enough with the cold-weather gear I brought? ← There were warm clothes and blankets available.
Will I suffer from oxygen deprivation? ← It was fine as we ascended while acclimatizing.
Regarding this tour, there were absolutely no issues.
Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was great at conversation and very knowledgeable. He answered questions outside of the tour accurately as well. It rained during the day, but it was clear above the clouds. During the stargazing, the wind was minimal, and we could see a perfect starry sky. We even saw shooting stars! The sushi we had for dinner was delicious, and the warm tea helped to warm us up.
I took various photos, but I believe seeing it with my own eyes is the best part of the tour. If you plan to go, make sure to book early as it fills up quickly.

I participated with my wife. It was a tour that we joined with high hopes for the magnificent panorama of Maui and the starry sky, but unfortunately, it rained heavily. We had a faint hope that the weather might change at the summit, but the rain continued, and we decided to head back. However, thanks to the warm hospitality of our guide, we were invited to a popular local Italian restaurant, and the authentic wood-fired pizza was truly delicious.
Additionally, the guide's stories were very enjoyable and educational, which captivated us. Although we didn't get to see the starry sky as we had hoped, this tour, which could have been just a disappointing memory, turned into a very memorable and enjoyable experience thanks to the guide's entertaining stories and kindness. I would like to join the starry sky tour again next time for a chance at redemption. Thank you very much for the wonderful memories.

マウイの壮大なパノラマと満点の星空に期待を膨らませて参加したツアーでしたが、残念なら土砂降りの雨、山頂に行けば天気も変わるのではとの淡い期待も虚しく変わらずの雨、諦めて帰路に着きましたが、ガイドさんの暖かなお心遣いにより地元で人気のイタリアンレストランに招待して頂きました、直火窯焼きの本格的ピザは本当に美味しかったです。
また、ガイドさんのお話しがとても楽しくまた勉強にもなる内容でしたのでついつい惹きつけられてしまいました、目的であった満点の星空には出会う事が出来ず本来なら単なる残念な思い出になっていた今回のツアーですが、ガイドの楽しいお話やお心遣いで大変印象深い楽しい思い出となりました。次回またガイドの下満点の星空ツアーにリベンジ参加したいと思っております。楽しい思い出を本当にありがとうございました。
Even if it rains down below, the summit at 3,055 meters often has clear skies with beautiful stars, but unfortunately, it seems we couldn't see the stars that day. Thank you for your kind words to the guide. I hope that next time we can see a sky full of stars!
下界が雨でも3055mの山頂は雨も無く星が奇麗に見える事が多いのですが、その日は星が見えなかった様でとても残念でした。ガイドに対して暖かいお言葉
ありがとうございます。次回は是非、満天の星が見えます様に!

I drove up to a height similar to that of Mount Fuji, and coincidentally, it coincided with a lunar eclipse. Despite the heavy crowd, I was able to navigate skillfully and enjoyed an enchanting world.
富士山と同じくらいの高さに車で登り、たまたま月食と重なって、劇混みの中、クルクルと機転を利かせて頂き、幻想的な世界を満喫させてもらいました。
I heard that even though it was the summit at 3055 meters, it was very crowded like a town. It seems there wasn't much quietness, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind comments.
3055mの山頂なのに、町の様にとても混んでいたと聞きました。静かさは無かった様ですが、楽しんで頂けて良かったです。
ご親切なコメント、ありがとうございます。

On Christmas, December 25th, I participated with my family of five. We were blessed with good weather, and it was comfortable without any wind. However, as someone who gets cold easily, I spent the time bundled up in my UNIQLO Ultra Down jacket, along with the warm gear provided and a lap blanket. (I noticed someone brought a knit hat, and I thought I should bring one next time!)
The vast land,
As the sun sets,
Stars, stars, stars.
Every moment was a luxurious experience!
The timing for the photo shoot was perfect.
Talking while gazing at the starry sky was moving.
Delicious bento,
Warm tea,
(I brought some snacks, and for some reason, my usual snacks tasted several times better, haha.)
It was reassuring to have a restroom nearby.
I read reviews to choose this tour, and one mentioned, "The guide, Mr. Yamauchi, maximized its charm."
That was absolutely true! Mr. Yamauchi's thoughtfulness multiplied the emotions we felt. Having such a wonderful guide made it a memorable experience for a lifetime. I believe the scenery and stories left a lasting impression on the children as well!
I also want to say,
For those who are hesitant about going, you absolutely should!
If I have the chance to visit Maui again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi!
12/25 クリスマスに家族5人で参加させていただきました。
お天気に恵まれ、風もなく、過ごしやすいとのことでしたが、
寒がりの私は持参したUNIQLOのウルトラダウンと用意していただいた防寒具と膝掛けで過ごしました。(ニット帽を持って来ていた方がいて、次回は持って行こうと思いました!)
壮大な大地
日が沈むとき
星 星 星
どれをとっても、贅沢な時間でした!
絶妙なタイミングでの写真撮影。
星空をみながらのお話も感動。
美味しいお弁当、
あったかいお茶、
(お菓子を持参しました、いつものお菓子がなぜか何倍も美味しかった笑です)
すぐそばにトイレもあり安心でした。
ツアー選びの参考に口コミを読んでこのツアーに参加しましたが、
"その魅力を最大限に発揮させてくれたのがガイドの山内さん"との口コミがあります。
まさに、その通り!
山内さんの心配りが感動を何倍にもしてくれました。
素晴らしーいガイドさんに最高のツアーを案内してもらえて一生の思い出になりました。
子供達の心にも景色やお話がやきつけられたと思います!
私も申し上げます、
行くか迷われている方は絶対行った方がいい
です!
私もマウイ島にまた行くことがあれば、是非参加したいと思っています。
山内さん、ありがとうございました!
It was a wonderful Christmas present. Thank you for your warm words. We look forward to your participation again. Thank you. You took some lovely photos.
素晴らしいクリスマスプレゼントでしたね。大変暖かいお言葉、ありがとうございます。
是非、又のご参加をお待ちいたしております。ありがとうございました。
素敵な写真が撮れましたね。

The guide, Yamapi, was incredibly attentive. The Krispy Kreme donuts were freshly made and absolutely delicious. During donut time, he made sure to engage with all the participants, which helped everyone bond. I was also happy to stop by the supermarket to buy dinner and choose my own bento. Tours like this are quite rare. The stargazing was simply beautiful and amazing. I would love to join again when I come back to Maui.
ガイドの山ピーさんの気配りがすごく良いです。クリスピードーナツは出来立てなので最高に美味しいです。またドーナツタイムで参加者に万遍無く話しかけてくれるので参加者とも仲良くなれます。夕飯のお弁当を買うためスーパーへ寄り、自分でお弁当を選べるのは嬉しかったです。このようなツアーはなかなかありません。星空観測はとにかくきれいで素晴らしいです。またマウイへ来たら参加したいです。
Thank you for coming all the way to Maui from China. I understand that there must be various challenges during your assignment, but please come and enjoy the peacefulness of Maui at least once a year.
中国からのわざわざマウイまで来ていただき感謝です。色々と赴任されてご苦労もあると思いますが、1年に一回でも心安らぐマウイに遊びに来てくださいね。

We were promptly picked up at the designated time at the pier. This tour went West to Lahaina. The road thru the mountains became very narrow in places but our driver Halley did an excellent job of navigating the turns. This road was definitely more scary than the road to Hana.
Halley did a good job in explaining the various sights just as Sammy did the day earlier. She made frequent stops so we could get photos.
Once we arrived in Lahaina Town, Halley recommended a nice restaurant where we had lunch overlooking the ocean.
We were very pleased with this tour and would highly recommend it.

Our excursion went extremely well. We were met at the pier at the designated time with no issues. We met our driver/guide and were on our way. Our driver was Bobbie who gave us a very comprehensive verbal overview of the entire trip. She would pull over at various times to let us get photos of the scenery. We liked the fact that we could stay at any stop for extended time if needed.
Because Bobbie was Hawaiian raised, she could give us a perspective of Hawaiian life on the island.
The van was very comfortable and the driving was very good. No speeding. She gave us plenty of bathroom stops.
All in all we very much enjoyed the trip and would recommend this tour.

The guide's talk, which included local information, was fascinating, and I was able to enjoy myself throughout. The sunset above the clouds and the starry sky from the mountaintop were incredibly beautiful and exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail to ensure participants were comfortable made it a great tour where I felt the hospitality. It's a highly recommended tour that I would love to join again when I visit Maui.
ガイドさんの現地情報も含んだトークが興味深く、終始楽しく過ごすことができました。山の上から見た雲上のサンセットと満天の星空は想像以上に素晴らしく美しい景色で感動しました。参加者が快適に過ごせるよう細かな所まで気を配っていただき、ホスピタリティを感じる良いツアーでした。
またマウイに行ったら参加したいと思えるとてもおすすめのツアーです。
The sunset at the summit presents a breathtaking beauty that changes every day. We strive to provide a memorable tour for everyone to enjoy.

On October 30th, we participated as a couple.
We were overwhelmed by the incredible beauty of nature that you can't see in reality.
The sunset sinking into the clouds.
The shadow of the Earth that can only be seen here.
The colors of the sky between evening and night.
We couldn't move from the sunset spot; we wanted to keep watching it forever.
As the sun set further, we even got to see the night view of the town of Kona, which made us forget about car sickness.
The main event was the breathtaking starry sky.
You have to see it in person to understand; it's definitely worth it.
The number of stars is unmatched by any other stargazing spot.
I never thought the Milky Way could be so captivating.
From start to finish, everything captivated my heart, leaving me speechless, with countless memories that can't be captured in photos.
And our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, brought out the best in this experience.
I never expected to see him featured in a travel guide. (laughs)
He carefully shared detailed recommendations for spots on Maui, showcasing the greatness of this island that could change one's perspective on life.
All his stories left a lasting impression on me.
Perhaps because of such a wonderful guide, the other participants were also amazing people.
I will definitely return to Maui!
Thank you for the wonderful tour!
For those considering it, you absolutely should take this tour!
Oh, and if you're prone to motion sickness, you'll need some medication.
10月30日、夫婦で参加しました。
現実では見られないような自然の凄さに圧倒されました。
雲に沈む夕陽。
ここでしか見られない地球の影。
夕方と夜の間の空の色。
サンセットスポットから足が動かず、いつまでも見ていたかったほど。
さらに日が沈み、まさかのコナの街並みの夜景まで見れて車酔いなんて吹っ飛んだほど。
最大のメインイベントはあっと驚く満天の星。
これは実際に見ないと伝わらないので、絶対見る価値あり。
どんな星空スポットも叶わないほどの星の数。
天の川がこんなに心を奪われるものだと思わなかった。
始まりから終わりまで全てに心を奪われ、言葉を失い、写真には収まらない思い出がたくさん。
そして、それを最大限に発揮させてくれたガイドのヤマウチさん。
まさかるるぶに載ってるとは思いませんでした。笑
マウイ島のオススメスポットを細かく丁寧に教えて頂き、この島の素晴らしさ、人生観を変えるほどの島の偉大さ。
どのお話も心に残りました。
そんな方のツアーだからか、同乗の方達もとても素晴らしい方達でした。
また、マウイ島に絶対戻ってきます!
ステキなツアーをありがとうございました!
検討されてる方は絶対このツアーにすべきです‼️
あっ、乗り物に弱い方は酔い止めが必要です

They also stopped by a local supermarket, which was great. It's reassuring to acclimatize to avoid altitude sickness while heading to the summit. If possible, I think participating during the new moon would allow for a beautiful view of the Milky Way. Stargazing was very enjoyable, with chairs to sit on, blankets available, and a warm tea gathering.
地元スーパーマーケットにも寄ってくれたり、盛り沢山。高山病にならないように体を慣らしながら山頂に行くので安心です。出来るなら、やっぱり新月に参加すると、天の川がキレイに見えると思います。星空観察はいすに座って、毛布もあり、温かいお茶会もありとても良かったです。
Thank you, Kiki. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
