This was my first time on Maui, and since my previous stargazing experience on Hawaii Island was very impressive, I decided to participate in this tour, which had received high ratings.
We barely made it in time for the sunset due to road conditions, but I was glad to capture the beautiful gradient of the sky in photos. The stargazing I was looking forward to was somewhat limited because the moon was bright, but I was able to see the craters of the moon through the telescope and take pictures, which was nice.
However, I found it a bit uncomfortable that the seating arrangement in the car remained the same throughout the trip. Those sitting in spacious areas could relax comfortably, while those in tighter spots had to place their bags on their laps and were in close contact with the person next to them, making it hard to relax. I wish there could have been a seat change for the outbound and return trips or that a slightly larger vehicle could have been used to accommodate luggage better.
初めてのマウイ島であり,以前のハワイ島での星空観測がとても印象的であったこと,ツアー自体の評価がとても高かったことから参加させていただきました.
夕日鑑賞は道路状況上,ぎりぎり間に合った感じではありましたが,きれいな空のグラデーションを写真に収めることができて,良かったです.
楽しみにしていた星空は,月齢の関係上,とても空が明るかったので星はやや少なめでしたが,その分月のクレーターを望遠鏡で見たり,写真にとることができてよかったです.
ただ,車の席がずっと同じ場所で,広いところに座っている人は車内でゆっくりくつろげ,狭いところに座っていた人は,荷物を自分の膝の上にのせながら,隣の人にがつがつと接触してとてもくつろげるような感じではありませんでした.
出来れば,行きと帰りで席替えをしたり,荷物を置けるようなもう少し大きな車を使用したりすることができなかったのかな,と残念に思いました.
We currently have a 12-passenger vehicle, but it has become cramped, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to let us know if you have any luggage. There is a bit of space in the back, so...
現在12人乗りの車なのですが、窮屈になってしまいご迷惑をお掛け致しました。いつでもお荷物がありましたらお声を掛けて下さいませ。後ろに多少スペースがありますので、

The schedule was good, and I didn't suffer from altitude sickness, even as an older person whose body responds more slowly. The sunset and starry sky were also beautiful. As for my thoughts outside of the main topic, I first stopped by a donut shop, but it's a place that's become boring even in Japan. Personally, I found it unremarkable. The souvenir shops I visited along the way were nice.
体の対応が鈍くなる老人にも高山病にもならず、スケジュールが良かったです。夕陽、星空も良く見えました。本題以外での感想です。最初にドーナツ店に入りましたが、日本でも飽きられた店です。私的には???。その他の途中に寄った土産店等は良かったです。
Thank you for participating in the star tour. There is one reason we stop by the donut shop: it's to prevent altitude sickness. If you ascend to 3,055 meters on an empty stomach, the thin air and different atmospheric pressure compared to sea level can make you feel unwell. Eating something beforehand tends to help prevent this. Taking breaks several times on the way to the summit also helps in preventing altitude sickness.
星ツァーご参加有難うございます。ドーナッツ店に立ち寄る理由が一つありまして、高山病予防なのです。空腹で3055メートルに登ってしまうと酸素が薄いのと気圧が平地と違いますので少しでも何か食べておきますと、体調が悪くなりずらい傾向があります。山頂まで数回、休憩を挟むのも高山病予防になのです。

On the night of the waxing crescent moon, the moonlight had little effect, allowing us to fully enjoy the starry sky. The views of *** and *** through the GPS-tracking telescope were particularly impressive. I am a Sagittarius, but thanks to Yamapi's careful guidance, I was able to see them for the first time.

Eight years ago, I traveled with my wife and participated in this stargazing tour, which left a strong impression on me. This time, my daughter wanted to see it, so she joined us after traveling from Oahu. She was thrilled by the sunset above the clouds. However, it was unfortunate that the brightness of the moon due to its phase was too strong, and we couldn't see the truly beautiful starry sky. Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was excellent.

This time, my daughter and I signed up for this highly rated tour as it was our first time on Maui. At Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, we enjoyed freshly made, warm, delicious doughnuts. We decided not to take motion sickness medication since we would be taking breaks on the way to the summit, but my daughter, who is prone to motion sickness, felt a bit nauseous, so I thought it would have been better to take the medicine just in case. Although there were many clouds and we couldn't see the sunset, the colors of the clouds and sky were very beautiful. During the stargazing, we were able to see many stars through a large telescope, including the rings of Saturn and the bands of Jupiter. Later, while listening to our guide's wonderful stories, I had to interrupt to go to the restroom, but I was glad there was a restroom at the summit. I think it's reassuring for those who need to be close to a restroom. This was the best tour I've ever been on, with everything provided, including jackets, tea, and chairs. We also visited the steak and dim sum places that we were recommended, and they were very delicious.
今回娘と2人で、初マウイ島ということで、評価も高いこのツアーに申し込みました。
クリスピークリームドーナツでは、出来立てのホカホカの美味しいドーナツをいだきました。
山頂まで、休み休み行くということで酔い止めは飲まずにいきましたが、酔いやすい娘はちょっとよってしまったので、念のため薬を飲んで行けばよかったと思いました。
雲が多く、夕陽は見れませんでしたが、雲や空の色はとてもきれいでした。
星空観測では、大きな天体望遠鏡で、たくさんの星をみることができ、土星の輪や、木星の線までしっかり見えました。
その後、ガイドさんのとてもいいお話を伺っている途中、トイレに行きたくなり話の腰を折ってしまいましたが、山頂にもトイレがあって良かったです。トイレが近い方にも安心だと思います。
上着やお茶、椅子等、至れり尽くせりの今までで一番のとてもよいツアーでした。
また、教えてもらったステーキやヤムチャのお店も行きました。とても美味しかったです。
Haleakalā National Park has restrooms available even at 3,000 meters. Of course, there are also facilities at the 21,000-meter national park office, making it a mountain where you can climb with peace of mind, even if you need to use the restroom frequently. I was glad to hear that you were going to Honolulu the day after the tour, and I was happy to recommend a delicious dim sum restaurant, ensuring your satisfaction.
ハレアカラ国立公園は3000メートルでも水洗トイレが完備されております。もちろん21000メートルの国立公園事務所にもあり、おトイレの近い方にも安心して登れる山です。ツァーあと翌日にホノルルに行かれることをお聞きし、美味しい飲茶のお店もご紹介致しまして、満足して頂き良かったです。

It was a tour where I could feel the thoughtful care in every detail. They gradually increased the altitude while allowing us to rest, so everyone in the group was energetic. It was great to receive warm clothing, gloves, and hot tea.
The sunset felt like it was sinking into the clouds, but the beauty of the starry sky afterward was beyond words! The tour seems to be fully booked continuously, so if you’re not careful, you might miss out. The price is slightly higher than the English tours, but it’s definitely worth it.
日本語で細やかな心遣いが感じられるツアーでした。少しずつ高度を上げて休みながら山頂まで行ってくださるので、参加メンバー全員元気でした。防寒着や手袋、暖かいお茶まで戴けて良かったです。
サンセットは雲に沈む感じでしたが、その後の星空の素晴らしかったことは筆舌に尽くしがたい❗モノでした。ツアーは満席続きらしくのんびりしていたら、取れなかったです。英語ツアーよりも多少価格は高くなりますが、絶対お得です
We are the only company managed by Japanese people. There is a regulation from Haleakalā National Park for one trip with a maximum of 11 people, so I recommend making a reservation as early as possible. We hope you will definitely visit Maui.
日本人経営の会社は当社だけになります。週5日ワントリップ11名の規定がハレアカラ国立公園から定められておりますので、なるべく早めの予約をして頂くと宜しいかと思います。また是非マウイ島にいらしゃってくださいませ。

From sunset to the starry sky. It was an experience beyond imagination, where I could truly feel myself in the universe rather than just on Earth!
Seeing my seven-year-old son and husband discussing the grandeur of the cosmos became a lifelong memory for our family.
I highly recommend this for families with elementary and middle school children.
And everything was thanks to our wonderful guide, Yama-chan. He was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and even performed magic tricks, making him a favorite among the kids.
Yama-chan, who has led tours to Haleakalā 3,000 times, felt somewhat extraterrestrial!

There are many places where the starry sky is beautiful.
Many tours are not recommended because:
1) They are superficial and forced. For the guide, it's a daily job, but for customers, it's a rare and precious time.
2) There are many guides who are self-absorbed and boastful, often far removed from the customer's perspective.
However, the tour by Mr. Yamauchi, the owner of Maui All Stars, was wonderful and thoroughly pursued customer satisfaction. The sunset at Haleakalā and the starry sky were even more dazzling, captivated by the Yamauchi world.
星空が綺麗な所は他にも色々あります。
多くのツアーがNGなのは、
1) 表面的且つ強制的 ガイドにとっては毎日の仕事、でも顧客にとっては、稀有で貴重な時間です。
2) 自己顕示欲型 何故か知ったかぶりの自己自慢、自己陶酔型のガイドが多く、そういう人は、顧客視点から程遠い事が多いです。
で、今回のMaui All Starsオーナー山内さんによるツアー。
徹底的に顧客満足を追求した素晴らしいものでした。

In addition to regular sightseeing, I was able to enjoy not only delicious restaurant menus but also learn about places that weren't so good (laughs) and many little tips that I wouldn't have gotten from guidebooks or on my own, allowing me to have a wonderful time. The weather was nice, and although the moon was bright, I wasn't able to see as many stars as I had hoped, but the sky was still beautifully clear. It was evident that our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was passionately dedicated to the tour, and I had a very enjoyable time. I also took many great photos. The sushi I bought at the supermarket was delicious as well. I would like to come back during the new moon next time.
普通の観光以外に美味しいお店のメニューだけでなく、美味しくないお店や(笑)、プチ情報もたくさん教えて頂けて、ガイドブックや自分たちだけでは得られない楽しい時間を過す事ができました。

For stargazing, I definitely recommend around the new moon. The full moon is too bright and makes the stars hard to see, so please take a look at the lunar calendar.

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。

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!

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.

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。

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.
かなり前に参加しましたが、ハレアカラ山頂までの寄り道やドライブ、ガイドさんのトークはとても興味深く、とてもいい思い出になりました。
サンセットのグラデーションは本当にきれいで、感動しました。
星空観測も防寒具と暖かい飲み物とチェアを用意していただき、ゆったり楽しむことができました。
A chair is very convenient for stargazing, allowing you to relax and enjoy the view. Please come and enjoy the starry sky!
星空観測には椅子がとても便利でゆっくり眺められます。また満天の星を楽しまれに来て下さいね!

The sunset is similar, but it's great that the view of the starry sky is wider than at Mauna Kea. The equipment was also good. Additionally, the guide's individual knowledge is incredible. I thought some of the stories about the guide's life were a bit excessive, though.
サンセットは同じようなものですが、マウナケアより星空の視野が広いことが良い。機材もよかった。後、ガイドさんの単体の知識が半端ないです。少しガイドさんの人生に関する話は余分かとは思いましたが。
Thank you for sharing your experience.
体験談ありがとうございました。

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。
毎年参加したくなる、楽しくて素敵なツアーでした。
ありがとうございました!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear that the ten-year wait was worth it. It was great to assist you in creating memories. Many participants join us alone, so we look forward to your participation again next year. Maui All-Stars
体験談、ありがとうございました。10年待たれたかいがあったとの事で嬉しいです。

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。
Thank you for the five-star review. Nature and the kindness and compassion of people can sometimes determine the direction of our lives and make us reflect, can't they? Please come to Maui again to spend such time. Thank you.
5つ星の投稿、ありがとうございました。
自然そして人の優しさや思いやりは時にして人生の方向性を決めてくれたり、考えさせられたりしますよね。
是非、又そんな時間を過ごす為にマウイにいらして下さいね。

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。
大いなる自然ですね。
ありがとうございました。

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。

It was a wonderful tour. Watching the sunset over the sea of clouds and the shadow of the Earth from the summit of Haleakalā, along with the countless stars, was truly overwhelming and breathtakingly beautiful. I believe it's not an exaggeration to say that if you haven't seen this, you might wonder why you came to Maui. The guide was also someone who approached this job with conviction and had a wonderful personality. If I come to Maui again, I would like to request this tour.
素晴らしいツアーでした。ハレアカラの山頂というとてつもない非日常的な場所で眺める日没の雲海や地球の影、そして満点の星々は正に圧倒的であり、息をのむ美しさでした。これを見ずしてマウイ島に何しに来たのかと言っても過言ではないと思います。またガイドさんも信念をもってこの仕事をされている方で、素晴らしい人柄でした。またマウイへ来ることがあればこちらでお願いしたいと思います。
It was an honor to assist in creating wonderful memories of the spectacular Haleakalā sunset and stargazing. Please do come back to Maui again.

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。
We are glad to have been able to assist you with a wonderful stargazing experience. Thank you for your valuable suggestion regarding additional cold weather preparations. We would like to recommend this to our winter customers. We look forward to seeing you again.
素晴らしい星空体験のお手伝いが出来まして嬉しいです。
又更なる防寒の用意をとの貴重なご意見、ありがとうございます。
冬場のお客様にはその様にお勧めさせて頂きたいと思います。
又お目に掛かれます日をお待ち致しております。

It's been 15 years since we started, and thanks to everyone, we may have climbed Haleakalā over 3,000 times. I remember my principal used to say, "Continuity is strength," so... (laughs).
スタートして15年が経ちましてお陰様で3000回以上はハレアカラ山に登ったかもしれません。 昔校長先生が”継続は力””だぞーと言っていましたので、、笑
