Haleakala Stargazing Tours

Yoshi is an excellent tour guide. He took lots of care driving us up the mountain to reach the 10000 ft mark. Once there he took us to a special spot where we saw the beautiful sunset then he set up chairs with blankets ... moreand gloves for the cooler temperatures. We saw lots of stars and planets. He is very knowledgeable in relation to stargazing. Highly recommend taking this tour with him!

We had an absolutely incredible experience on our recent stargazing tour with Yoshi. We brought 4 adults and 4 kids (5-8 years old) to the summit and everyone had a blast. You can never predict Mother Nature so while at ... morethe summit (which was very windy and cloudy), Yoshi made the decision to change stargazing locations to another spot a little lower on the mountain and his expertise was rewarded as we were able to watch a beautiful sunset and view the stars from our new spot. It was such a memorable experience for everyone, I would 100% recommend this activity to anyone visiting Maui.

We were over 30 minutes early for the scheduled tour shuttle, which was good because they showed up right after we did and wanted to leave.
The guide was very nice, but carried on a conversation with the passenger in the... more front seat for a lot of the time, and didn't inform us about much in the 3+ hours we spent in the van.
It was mostly cloudy all day, but he said it would clear up on top of the mountain. Well.. it didn't. He had a nice jackets, chairs and a blanket for everyone, as well as a nice telescope. The sky opened up for a quick look at Jupiter and it's moons, and our moon, but nothing else. We spent inside of 2 minutes total, looking through the telescope. Not much discussion of anything at all. It was a total bust and certainly not worth $230 per person. Make sure the sky will be clear and the moon will not be out as it makes it nearly impossible to see anything. Otherwise you're wasting your time and money. I know the tour guide doesn't control the weather, and he did offer a return trip next time we were on the island with a half day to spend in a van, but we will pass.

Perfect timing of the tour, and a great way to get to stargaze on Hawaii

The service is excellent and we are really appreciate our experience.
Stars are much more vivid at 10,000+ feet, even with naked eyes.
It’s well organized and we wish we can go back and re-take the trip, if possible.

Guide was great! & the heavens were just spectacular!
