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。

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.

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。

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。

The tour day was blessed with good weather, and since it was close to a new moon, there was no moonlight at all, allowing us to see countless stars like a natural planetarium. The sunset was truly beautiful, with a sea of clouds below, and I was overwhelmed by the starry sky.
I am very grateful to our tour guide, Yamapi. He took great care of us, showed us various stars through the telescope, and the lectures were enjoyable! It felt like going back to elementary school. I felt that the company, including Yamapi, genuinely wants participants to enjoy the tour with thoughtful consideration and care. I would love to join this tour again! Thank you very much!

I participated with a friend. They picked us up at the hotel, and along the way, we had fun conversations and learned various recommendations about Maui. We enjoyed drinks at Krispy Kreme, chose bento boxes at the supermarket (I underestimated the bento, but it was incredibly delicious), and shopping at Kula Lodge (we got to sample a lot of food). The journey to Haleakalā was truly enjoyable. The sunset was so moving that words can't describe it. Additionally, we went to a hidden spot where there were only 2 or 3 other people besides our tour group. We had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, the starry sky was not fully visible due to the clouds, but it was a sky that you can't see in Tokyo. (Even though we could see a little, we were told we could come back for a revenge trip next time. It was really thoughtful of them.) I was also moved by Yamapi's passionate stories. Thank you for everything. I will definitely participate again! For those who are unsure about going, you should definitely go—it's highly recommended!
友達と2人で参加させていただきました。ホテルまでお迎えに来ていただいて道中楽しいお話しに加えオススメのお店などマウイに関して色々と教えていただきました。クリスピードーナッツに飲み物、スーパーでお弁当選び(お弁当とあなどっていましたがすごーく美味しいです。)、クラロッジでお買い物(たくさん試食させてもらいました)、ハレアカラに着くまでも本当に楽しかったです。サンセットは言葉にならないほど感動しました。さらに穴場に行っていただいたのかそこは私達ツアー客と他には2、3人だけ。本当に素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。残念ながら星空は雲が多く満天の星とまではいきませんでしたが東京では見れない星空でした。(しかも少しは見えたにもかかわらず、次回リベンジして良いとのこと。ほんと至れりつくせりです。)ヤマピーさんの熱のこもったお話にも感動です。色々とありがとうございました。絶対にまた参加しまーす!!行くか迷われてる方は絶対に行った方が良いですよ〜。オススメです。

The first time was about three years ago when I applied with a friend, but it was canceled due to bad weather. This year for sure! It was a tour for two, but I somehow requested to participate alone. I was grateful that they picked me up. Personally, I think it could have been even more enjoyable if I had a deeper knowledge of astronomy. The explanations in Japanese, the Japanese food, tea, safety measures against the cold, and safe driving were all great. While inquiring about participating alone, I was starting to give up thinking it might be impossible since I was by myself. I also looked at the English tours, but the reviews were... (sweat). It truly became a wonderful memory! I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

In the morning, we were able to fully enjoy a leisurely hotel life until our 14:30 pickup. They picked us up right on time, and we made a stop at Whole Foods to choose our lunch, taking a bathroom break at Kula Lodge while gradually acclimatizing to the altitude. During the drive and breaks, we enjoyed detailed guidance and fun conversations with our guide, Yama P. At the stops, he also recommended souvenirs and offered tastings. In fact, everything was incredibly delicious.
At the hotel, despite our worries about the cloudy sky, we found clear weather at the summit of Haleakalā, with a new moon and no wind, creating perfect conditions for stargazing, according to Yama P. After enjoying our lunch and warm tea in the car, we put on the warm clothing and gloves provided, sat in our chairs, and adjusted our eyes to the darkness for a trip into the starry sky! The constellations were beyond imagination. We were captivated by Yama P's flowing lecture on the constellations. It was a fulfilling half-day that flew by in no time.

I visited Haleakalā 25 years ago, and since it was during the day then, this was my first time experiencing the sunset. Unlike Japan, the regulations for entering the park have become quite strict, which I felt is important for preserving nature. The weather was such that there was a sea of clouds below, while above, it was perfectly clear with not a single cloud in the sky. There was no wind, and the moon was in its crescent phase. Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, mentioned that it was perfect for sunset and stargazing.
At 7 PM, the sunset occurred, and the sun set faster than I had imagined, followed by the green flash. In the eastern sea of clouds, I could distinctly see the elliptical earth shadow, which gave a sense of the Earth's roundness. After the sun completely set, the starry sky was breathtaking. Mr. Yamauchi pointed out the prominent constellations, and I was able to see the Southern Cross clearly for the first time in a while, which was quite nostalgic.
Additionally, with a high-powered telescope connected to GPS that moved with a remote control, I could see Jupiter's vertical bands and the four planets lined up vertically. Various meteor showers were also visible, and the stars at lower altitudes sparkled like jewels, leaving me in awe. Maui offered a relaxed experience, allowing me to connect with nature on a global and cosmic scale, making it the best trip ever.
25年前にハレアカラに行ったことがあり、この時は日中でしたので今回初めてサンセットに行きました。日本とは違い入山の規制がかなり厳しくなっていて、自然を残すには大切なことだと感じました。天候は下界は雲海で、上空は雲ひとつない快晴、風も無風で、月齢がいわゆる三日月で、ガイドのヤマウチさんはサンセット&星空観察にはパーフェクトと言っておられました。午後7時のサンセットは、太陽が想像以上の速さで沈み、その後にグリーンフラッシュが訪れました。そして東の雲海には地球の丸さを感じる楕円形のアースシャドーがくっきり浮かびました。日が完全に沈んでからは、満天の星空でヤマウチさんが代表的な星座を教えてくれ、久しぶりにくっきりした南十字星を見ることができ、感傷に浸ることができました。また、GPSに接続していてリモコンで動く倍率の高い望遠鏡では、木星の縦の線や縦に並んだ4個の惑星がくっきり見え、他にもいろいろな流星群も見え、高度の低い位置の星は宝石のような輝きでうっとりとしました。マウイ島はゆったりとした時間が過ごせ、地球規模・宇宙規模の自然が体験でき、最高の旅行となりました。

The weather was somewhat cloudy, but the clouds were beautifully dyed by the sunset, creating a lovely gradient. The photo-taking and explanations were precise, allowing us to enjoy the experience efficiently in the cold at the summit in a short amount of time. The tour's included down jacket was very helpful. Unfortunately, stargazing was nearly impossible due to the heavy clouds.
After everyone gathered, during the first break, the guide asked everyone where they were from, which made it easy for guests to converse with each other afterward. The second break was at Foodland, where it was great to be able to choose our own dinner instead of having a standard bento. We also had a little shopping time, and I bought some recommended Kona coffee.
The third break for altitude acclimatization was taken at the Clara Lodge, where we had several restroom breaks. We also enjoyed the rest stops as we ascended to 3,000 meters.
曇り気味の天気でしたが、雲が夕陽に染まり綺麗なグラデーションを見れました。写真撮影・説明が的確で山頂の寒い中、短時間で効率よく満喫出来ます。ツアー付属の防寒ダウンがとても助かりした。残念ながら星の観測は雲が多くほぼ不能。
全員集合後、最初の休憩時に全員に声をかけて何処から来たか等の質問をしてくれるので、ゲスト同士のその後の会話が楽に出来ました。2回目の休息はフードランド、夕飯を自分で選べ一律のお弁当でないのはとても嬉しいです。少しの買い物時間も貰え、オススメのコナコーヒーを買いました。
高地順応の為の3回目の休息はクラロッジでとり、トイレ休憩が多く取られていました。3000メートルまで上がるための休憩も楽しめました。

I had been looking forward to the tour even before arriving in Maui! I was also very excited to meet our tour guide, Mr. Yamauchi. When I met him, he turned out to be a very warm-hearted person, and I was really happy with the subtle touches that matched the location. Unfortunately, due to the full moon, we couldn't see the starry sky, but listening to the stories while gazing at the stars felt like a cleansing experience, and I couldn't stop crying... it was quite a challenge. I hope to come back someday to see the star-filled sky again and have my revenge!!
マウイに着く前から楽しみにしていたツアー!ツアーガイドの山内さんにお会いするのもとても楽しみでした。お会いしてみると、とてもハートフルな方で、その場所にあったさりげないいろんな演出(?)がとても嬉しかったです。残念なことに満月だった為、満点の星空は見られませんでしたが、星を眺めながら聞いたお話は心を洗われたかのように、涙が止まらなくなってしまい……困りました。いつかまた満天の星を見に、リベンジしたいと思います!!

I was really looking forward to the tour, but unfortunately, the weather was bad, and I couldn't see the sunset or the stars (tears). I had been optimistic because I read in various places that "even if the weather is bad at the base, it clears up at the summit, so the chances of clear skies are quite high," but I guess things like this can happen.
I heard that I could have a chance to do it again, but I didn't quite understand the system. Is it similar to the "if you can't see dolphins, it's free next time!" kind of deal that you often see with dolphin watching?
The guide, Yamapi, was just as great as the reviews said, and he told us about various recommended souvenirs. Among them, the organic honey was incredibly delicious and has received great reviews from my family.
The guide was good, and we had a nice view of the sea of clouds, plus there were plenty of restroom breaks, so there were many positives. However, since I didn't get to experience the main event at all, I feel like I don't have much to say about it.
とても楽しみにしていたツアーでしたが、天候が悪くサンセットも星も見えませんでした(涙)「麓で天気が悪くても雲を抜けるので山頂はかなりの晴天率」と色んな所に書いてあるので楽観的になってましたがこんなこともあるのか、と。
リベンジできるとのお話だったのですが、システムがよくわからず。イルカウォッチングなどでよく見かける見れなければ次回無料!的なものなんでしょうか?
ガイドのヤマピーさんは評判どおりの方で、おすすめのお土産など色々教えてもらえて、中でもオーガニック?の蜂蜜がとても美味しく、家族からも評判です。
ガイドさんは良かったし雲海までは綺麗に見れたしトイレ休憩も多くて色々良かったですが、何しろメインディッシュが何も体験できてないので感想の言いようがないかな?って感じです

Although it was unfortunately rainy on the day of our visit, I had an amazing time with the guidance of YAMAPEE. We drove slowly up to the summit of Haleakalā (about 3,000 meters), and while I had some concerns about my physical condition, I reached the top in no time while listening to Mr. Yamauchi's guidance. Along the way, we had a lot of fun shopping for recommended coffee and Maui onion-flavored potato chips at the shopping center and Kula Lodge. Although we couldn't do stargazing at the summit, I would love to try again with YAMAPEE's guidance.
当日は生憎の雨模様でしたが、YAMAPEEさんのガイドで本当に最高の時間を過ごすことができました。ハレアカラ山頂(約3,000m)へは車でゆっくり上っていきますので、体調に少し不安はありましたが、山内さんのガイドを聞いているうちに山頂まであっという間に到着しました。途中、ショッピングセンターやクラロッジでお勧めのコーヒーやポテトチップ(マウイオニオン味)などの買い物など、とても楽しくお土産を買うことができました。山頂では星空観察はできませんでしたが、またYAMAPEEさんのガイドでリベンジしたいです。

The Haleakalā volcano had great weather, and I was able to see breathtaking views of the sea of clouds, sunset, and starry sky. I could see many stars that I can't see in Japan, filling the sky. While listening to explanations about various stars, we observed them through a telescope. The elementary school children were also moved by the starry sky and seemed to enjoy stargazing while listening to our guide (Yama-chan).
Additionally, on the way to Haleakalā volcano, our guide provided us with information about Maui and recommendations for delicious restaurants, which were very helpful for our subsequent sightseeing. We also stopped at a donut shop, a local supermarket, and a souvenir shop at a farm, so we enjoyed shopping as well. There were restrooms available at each stop, and there are also restrooms at Haleakalā volcano, so I felt comfortable participating since I often need to use the restroom.
ハレアカラ火山はお天気もよく、雲海、サンセット、星空と全て感動の景色が見れて最高でした。日本では見れないたくさんの星を、空いっぱいに見ることができました。色々な星について説明を聞きながら、望遠鏡で星を観測します。小学生の子供達も満天の星空に感動し、ガイドさん(山ちゃん)の説明を聞いて楽しそうに天体観測していました。また、ハレアカラ火山までの道中、ガイドさんからマウイ島に関する情報や美味しいお店の情報などを教えてくれたので、その後の観光にも大変役立ちました。
途中ドーナッツ屋さん、地元のスーパー、農園のお土産屋さんにも立ち寄るので、買い物も楽しめました。トイレは立ち寄りの度に行けますし、ハレアカラ火山にもあるので、トイレが近い私も安心して参加できました。

I was able to talk with the other participants at the first donut shop we visited, which made me feel a sense of closeness, and that was great. We climbed slowly to the summit while taking breaks, so we were able to reach the top without any issues. I enjoyed listening to the guide's fun stories and personal anecdotes, and I had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, the sunset turned out to be a sun hidden behind the clouds, but the change in the colors of the sky was moving. Thank you very much.
最初に立ち寄ったドーナツやさんで参加者の皆さんとお話しできたので親近感がわき、良かったです。山頂までは、休憩しながらゆっくり上っていくので、問題なく山頂まで登れました。ガイドさんの楽しいお話や身の上話なども聞かせていただき、楽しい時間を過ごせました、サンセットは残念ながら雲に沈んでいく夕日になってしまいましたが、空の色の変化は感動的でした。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in the tour, but the weather was bad, and I couldn't see anything—not even the stars or the scenery. It was a tour where I didn't understand what I was there for. There was no explanation at the time of booking, and on the day of the tour, I was told that I might not be able to see anything. If that was the case, there could have been options to switch to another tour, which is very disappointing. I invested time and money into what could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I would have appreciated at least a prior confirmation or a disclaimer. It was truly ruined. I believe tours with such a strong element of chance should not be sold.
ツアーに参加しましたが天気が悪く星どころか景色も何も見えない状態で何しに行ったんだかわからないツアーでした。予約する時点では説明がなく、当日になって、見られないかもしれないとのことだったんですが、それなら別のツアーに振り返るとか方法があったのに、と思うと非常に残念です。こちらは一生に一度かもしれないツアーに時間もお金をかけてきているのでせめて事前に念書をとるとか確認が欲しかったです。本当に台無しでした。このようなギャンブル要素が強いツアーは売るべきではないと思います。

On the day of the event, the weather was cloudy, and I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars. As I got closer to the summit, I entered a sea of clouds and thought it would be impossible. Suddenly, I broke through the clouds into a blue sky, and I was delighted to see the sky I had hoped for. However, the parking lot at the top was full, so I had no choice but to go down to around 2,000 meters to see the stars. When I arrived at the lower parking lot, I could see the stars, but after a while, clouds occasionally covered them, so unfortunately, it wasn't a sky full of stars. However, the guide, Yamapi, was very enthusiastic, and I am very grateful for his clear explanations.
当日は曇りがちの天候で、星が見えるか心配していました。
山頂に近づくにつれ、雲海の中に入り、やっぱりダメかと思っていたところ、
急に雲を抜け青空になり、期待通りの空が広がってうれしくなりました。
ところが、頂上の駐車場が満車で、仕方なく2,000M付近まで下って星を見る
ことになりました。下の駐車場に着いたときには星が見えていたのですが、
しばらくすると雲が時々かかり、残念ながら満天の星というわけにはいきませんでした。しかし、ガイドのやまピーさんはとても熱心な方で、わかりやすい説明などに大変感謝しています。
