First of all, I want to say that if you have the chance, don't hesitate to go! They take you gradually to help you acclimate to avoid altitude sickness, and along the way, they stop at supermarkets and souvenir shops to share recommendations.
A sunset above the clouds is something you rarely get to see. It was so moving that it wrapped me in silence and made me forget my daily life as time flowed slowly. After that, we were treated to a sky full of stars. The constellations were clearly visible, and countless stars spread across the sky. Fortunately, I even saw a shooting star. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture it on my phone, but the surprise of looking up is unforgettable. I recommend bringing a camera if you want to take photos.
And above all, the thoughtful care and entertaining, educational talk from our guide, Yama-P, were also highlights of this tour! Even though we were all strangers, we became friends. I finished the tour with a warm feeling and would love to go again.
まず初めに。
機会があるなら迷わず行ってください!と言いたいです。
高山病にならないように徐々に慣らしながら連れて行ってもらえる上、途中でスーパーやお土産屋さんに立ち寄ってオススメを教えてくれます♡
雲の上のサンセットなんて、そうそう見れるものではなく、静寂に包まれてゆっくりとした時間が流れ、日常を忘れさせてくれるほど感動しました。
その後は満点の星空。
クッキリと星座が見れ、無数の星が空いっぱいに広がります。ラッキーなことに流れ星も見えましたよ。
残念ながら携帯では撮れなかったですが、見上げたときの驚きは忘れられないです。
写真を撮りたい方はカメラ持参をお勧めします。
そして何より、ガイドの山Pの細やかな気遣いと面白く勉強になるトーク!これもまたこのツアーの醍醐味ですよ!
知らない方ばかりですが、みーんな仲良くなれます。温かい気持ちでツアーを終えました。
何度でも行きたいです。

The ferry made our overnight trip to Lanai so easy. The boat itself seemed to be well-maintained and clean. It was not overly crowded and was very punctual. I think the price is reasonable considering the service provided.
A side note: We saw more whales on our trips to and from Lanai than we have on any whale watch we have ever taken!

This luau did not disappoint. I've attended other luaus on other islands (this was my husband's first) and I was very impressed! The set-up and format of the activities and dinner were excellent.
You are greeted with lei once you check in and are escorted to your table. There are plenty of activities to learn more about the culture and traditions of the luau until dinner is served. Dinner was also well executed (buffet).
We had a fantastic time with the open bar, the food, and being able to dance in the moonlight for those celebrating special milestones (anniversaries, birthdays, newly married, etc.). I definitely recommend Old Lahaina Luau!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with the Rainforest & Waterfall Swim Hike in Maui! We were able to experience it all: pretty tame trails, swimming in cool waters, and cliff diving from the falls. This adventure is appropriate for families (but I wouldn't take very young children), couples, or solos that desiring a peaceful hike.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly the entire hike. He was also very accommodating (I had a shoulder injury at the time) and the hike was still very enjoyable!
There were plenty of times to rest, swim, and eat snacks. Our guide was attentive to our needs and provided other suggestions of what to check out/visit during our stay on the island. I highly recommend!

This excursion was one of my favorite things we did on the island! The crew members were fun and were very helpful to any and every one on board to ensure a great experience. They encourage first timers to attend a quick snorkeling class before you head out in the water, provide you with sunscreen, wetsuits if you are easily chilled, and also have “snuba” gear for those seeking extra adventure. The crew members were personable and eager to get to know the participants if you are willing to talk and mingle. We went on the first tour of the day, so we were provided with coffee and a tasty continental breakfast, as well as lunch, cocktails, and homemade cookies. The hospitality was nothing short of outstanding. Everyone on board was educated about what to expect from both stops and and we got to have a few whale watching experiences on the ride over! Also, don’t miss out on the photo package (we got some great shots and some belly laughing video footage of our group) - and certainly go down the slide for the extra excitement! I would recommend this to people of all ages!

This excursion was beyond what I expected! The boat ride was smooth and there was plenty of space for my friends and I to enjoy the ride! We had cute bean bag chairs to sit on which added to our excitement. The crew members showed great service and were happy to get to know us a little when the time was right and everyone on board had been helped. Very easy going and fun guys to hang out with! The crew even made our friends proposal extra special by turning the boat around at the perfect time so we could have the best pictures of the event- and were more than happy to celebrate by bringing out champagne! I also feel like I need to comment on the food- the Brussels were the best I’ve ever had- and being from the south, I’ve tried them many ways. If you’re going on this excursion, be prepared to have a great evening, get your toes wet, and enjoy the views. 10/10 for a great time and great company!

I felt at ease participating in the tour with a Japanese guide. Since we were climbing over 3000 meters, we took breaks along the way to prevent altitude sickness, and the timing of the breaks was perfect; I felt completely fine. Once we rose above the clouds, the rain that had been falling stopped (which is expected since we were above the clouds), and the view was absolutely breathtaking. While I was taking photos, the sunset began. The moment the sun set was indescribable. After watching the sunset, we enjoyed stargazing with explanations. Yamapi's explanations were a bit fast, and I sometimes couldn't catch everything, but I was captivated by the stories. The discussions weren't just about the stars; they also touched on global issues, the future of the Earth, and the reality that dangerous things are likely to happen, which was sobering. Hearing about his personal experiences and his parents brought tears to my eyes. I found myself crying again during the background music in the car on the way back. It felt like the rigid parts of me had melted away. This tour really makes you reflect on important things. Yamapi is a wonderful entertainer. I hope many people get to participate in this tour.
日本語ガイドという事で安心して参加出来ました。
標高3000m以上登るので高山病予防のため、途中休憩を挟み山頂まで上がりましたが、休憩が絶妙で、全く大丈夫でした。雲の上に上がると降っていた雨もあがり(雲の上だから当然?)視界全てが絶景で、撮影している間に夕陽が落ちてきました。太陽が沈む瞬間は何とも言えない気持ちでした。夕陽を見た後は説明付きの星空鑑賞。やまぴーさんの説明は早口でたまに聞き取れなかったけど話に聞き入ってしまいました。星空の事だけでなく、世界の事、地球のこれから、危険な事は起きていくだろうという話は現実的で身が引き締まる思いになりました。ご自身の体験談、親御さんの事など…話を聞いていたら涙が溢れてきました。帰りの車内のBGMにまた涙が出て号泣。自分の中の凝り固まった部分が溶けたような感じでした。大切な事を考えさせてくれるツアーです。やまぴーさんは素晴らしいエンターテイナーです。沢山の方がこのツアーに参加されるといいなぁと思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour. There is a stunning sunset viewpoint a little away from the summit of Haleakalā, and I guide everyone there. It's a quiet spot with no one around, allowing you to slowly enjoy the sunset. Strangely, when I come here, various memories from my past come to mind like a revolving lantern, and I feel enveloped by the vastness of the Earth and the magnificent scenery. It makes me think that it's okay to take a detour in life. Please come back to Maui again.

While on the way to Haleakalā, they share various information about Maui, so it's a good idea to join early once you arrive on the island. Depending on the day's temperature and crowd levels, they consider where to go outside, take you to beautiful photo spots, and help you capture many wonderful pictures.
You can enjoy delicious bento, warm tea, sit in a chair with a blanket while watching the starry sky, and hear touching stories. It was, as expected, the best experience.
Next time, I want to join around the new moon.

This was my first time in Maui during this season, so I thought whale watching was a must and signed up for it. Initially, I had booked a tour departing from Kaanapali Beach, but it was changed to Lahaina at the last minute. I was a bit confused, but since we boarded from the pier instead of the beach, it was nice not to get wet while boarding. (I received several emails from Veltra regarding the change, which was helpful.)
The frequency of whale encounters was higher than I expected, so in that sense, I was satisfied. However, I think it would have been even better if we could have gotten a bit closer to see them. The explanations about the whales' ecology were in English, but they were detailed and easy to understand.
The meeting time was 7:45, with the tour starting at 8:00. Veltra advised us to arrive by 7:30, but in the end, there was no guidance until just before 8:00, and participants seemed to be gathering in the designated area looking a bit lost, which made me somewhat anxious. The light snack was a ham and cheese croissant sandwich (which tasted good). There was also fruit available, but it felt more like a self-service situation rather than being fully catered.
During this season, there are a considerable number of whales near the coast, and for those who are sensitive to being on boats, you can also see them at the scenic point in Maalaea Bay.
この時期のマウイは初めてでしたので、ホエール・ウオッチングは外せないと思い、申込みました。
当初カアナパリビーチ発を申し込んでいましたが直前にラハイナ発に変更となり、少し戸惑いましたが、ビーチからでなく桟橋からの乗船だったため乗船時に濡れることなく良かったです。(ベルトラさんからは変更につき事前に何度かメール連絡をいただき助かりました)
思ったよりもクジラに遭遇する頻度は高く、そういう意味では満足でした。
ただ、もう少し近づいて見ることが出来たら、なお良かったと思います。なおクジラの生態等について英語でしたが詳しくわかりやすい説明でした。
集合は7:45、ツアースタート8:00で、ベルトラさんからは7:30までには現地へとのアドバイスがあったのですが、結局8:00ぎりぎりまで
案内はなく、参加者らしき人たちが指定場所で所在なげに集まっていたので、やや不安ではありました。軽食はハム・チーズのクロワッサンサンド(味は良かったです)。果物もありましたが、必要な人は自分で取にいく感じで至れり尽くせりという感じではありませんでした。
この時期は沿岸近くに相当数のクジラがおり、船に弱い方はマアエラア湾のscenic poitでも見ることはできます。

I was torn between choosing the sunset or the sunrise, and I decided on this tour with a Japanese guide. This was a great decision.
On the way to Haleakalā, we enjoyed various stories about Maui and were introduced to affordable and rare souvenirs, making the journey to the summit fly by without a dull moment.
Once we reached the summit, the seamless explanations continued, and we efficiently took photos in groups without missing the magic hour shutter opportunities.
During the stargazing, we were provided with chairs, gloves, blankets, and warm barley tea, which was greatly appreciated. It was amazing to clearly observe the lunar surface through a high-powered telescope!
Compared to a similar tour I participated in on the Big Island, the level of excitement was completely different. Listening to the guide, Mr. Yamauchi, share his heartfelt stories while gazing at the stars was a touching experience I hadn't had in a while. I hope this tour continues for as long as possible.
夕日にしようか、朝日にしようか迷い、日本語ガイドの当ツアーを選択。
これは大正解でした。
ハレアカラ到着までのマウイ島にまつわる四方山話、安価でレアなお土産の

以前ハワイ島で同様のツアーに参加した時と比較すると、感動度合は全く異なりなした。星を眺めながらのガイド山内さんのお話も、久しぶりに聞いた心に染みる良いお話でした。これからも出来る限り、このツアーを続けて頂きたいです。
On this day, the moon was out, and I think the brightness of the moon somewhat diminished the stars. However, during the half-moon phase, the craters of the moon can be viewed at a distance that feels like you could land on them, which is another enjoyment. Please come again to see the sunset and starry sky at 3,000 meters. I look forward to our reunion.
この日は月が出ている日で、多少星が月の明るさで半減してしまったと思うのですが、半月の時は月のクレーターが着陸できるような距離で眺められるので、これもひとつの楽しみですね。また是非3000メートルの夕陽と星空を見に来てくださいませ。再会を楽しみにしております。

Starting with welcome fruits, homemade ginger ale, a cheeseburger and hot dog for lunch, cookies with macadamia nuts, and a Mai Tai, I was very satisfied! Upon arriving at Morokai Island, I immediately saw sea turtles, and the snorkeling was excellent with a lot of fish to see. I also encountered sea turtles quickly at the next island. The visibility might have been better at Morokai Island. However, on the way back, I saw whales multiple times and was extremely satisfied! It was just a bit windy and cold. Takako, who attended to us, was very nice! The person at check-in, the one near the boat who showed us the parking, and another Japanese person, everyone was super nice!
ウェルカムフルーツから始まりお手製(?)のジンジャーエール、お昼のチーズバーガー&ホットドッグ、マカダミアナッツが入ったクッキー、マイタイと大満足です!モロキシ島も着いてすぐ海ガメにも会え、シュノーケリングも透明度抜群でお魚がたくさん見られました。次の島でもすぐ海ガメに会えました。透明度はモロキシ島の方が良かったかも。でも帰りに何回もクジラにも会えて大々満足です!ただ風が強くて寒かったです。アテンドしてくれた、たかこさんがとってもいい感じでした!チェックインの人、船の近くにいてパーキングを教えてくれた人、もう一人の日本の方、みんな超いい人でした!

You drive up from nearly sea level to the summit at about 3,000 meters. The sunset, with the changing colors of the sun and the clouds transforming in layers after sunset, is captivating and never gets boring. The starry sky afterward takes your breath away. The starry sky over Lake Tekapo in New Zealand's South Island was lovely, but due to the higher elevation, we enjoyed a cloudless sky that day, allowing us to take in a 360-degree view of the stars. The stories from our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, added to the enjoyment.
標高約3000メートルの頂上まで、海抜0メートル近くから車で上がっていきます。色を変えながら沈んでいく太陽、サンセット後の雲の色が幾重にも変化していく様は、飽きることなく眺められます。その後の満天の星も息をのみます。ニュージーランド南島のテカポ湖の星空も素敵でしたが、標高が高い分、この日は雲一つない状況でしたので、360度の星空を楽しめました。ガイドの山内さんの話も楽しみを倍加させます。
Thank you for joining the tour. One of the charms of Haleakalā is that it takes about an hour and a half to reach the summit from the base. There is a limit of 11 participants per day, five days a week, as set by the national park, so we recommend making your reservation early. The summit can be cold, so we have warm clothing, blankets, and hot tea available, so please feel free to join us with peace of mind. We look forward to seeing you again in Maui.

It was the rainy season, and with the cloudy weather, I had almost given up on seeing the sunset and the starry sky, but I was able to enjoy both during the breaks in the clouds. Unfortunately, it wasn't a completely clear starry sky, but even with all the haze, I could see some stars, which made me think how beautiful the sky must be when the weather is good. I definitely want to come back for a revenge trip.
The guide quickly showed us the stars through a telescope, along with easy-to-understand explanations, and shared various experiences, reminding us that we are all the same Earthlings in this vast universe. The guide had previously been a manager for a super BIG band! During the trip, he didn't mention anything about that, but on the way back, my husband wondered if the participant who was chatting with the guide might be a band member. When we arrived at the hotel, he asked the guide, and it turned out to be true! Thank you for such a valuable experience.
雨季でしたし、曇り空の行程に、半ばサンセット&星空を諦めていましたが、雲が途切れる合間にどちらも楽しむことが出来ました。
残念ながら満天の星空とはいきませんでしたが、あれだけガスが出ていても星が見えましたので、お天気が良ければさぞかし美しい星空なんだろうな~と思い眺めていました。いずれ必ずリベンジしたいと思います。
僅かな雲の切れ間から見えた星々を、判り易い解説とともに望遠鏡で手早く見せて頂けたこと、壮大な宇宙の中ではみんな同じ地球人であることなど、様々な経験をされてこられたガイドさんのお話しは、楽しくまた学びのある内容でした。かつて超BIGなバンドのマネージャーをされていたというガイドさん!行程中のお話しでは一切そういった内容には触れられていなかったのですが、帰りの車中で”ガイドさんと仲良くお話しをされてる参加者の方は、もしかしてバンドメンバーの方?”と思った主人が、ホテル到着の際ガイドさんに伺ったところ判明!!!とても貴重な体験をさせて頂きありがとうございました。
I apologize for not being able to introduce everything until the end. This time, amidst a busy schedule, the couple came to Maui to enjoy golf and the starry sky. We have been in touch for over 40 years, and I believe they will continue to thrive as Japan's strongest band!
最後までご紹介出来なくて申し訳ありませんでした。今回忙しいスケジュールの中でマウイにゴルフと星空を見にご夫妻で来て頂きました。もう40年以上のお付き合いをさせて
頂いていて、これからも日本の最強バンドとして活躍されると思います!!

I participated in this tour, departing from the hotel where I stayed, and as others have shared in their experiences, boarding the boat that approaches the beach between the waves left me quite wet, making me wish I had worn my swimsuit. However, I was able to encounter more whales than I had imagined, see whales swimming right beneath the boat, and hear their songs, which created wonderful memories. The crew was also very pleasant, and I had a comfortable time.
宿泊したホテルの前からの出発ということで参加しましたが、波の合間を見計らいビーチに接岸するボートに乗り込むこのツアーは、他の方の体験談通りでしたので、水着にしておけばよかった・・・と思うほどの濡れ具合です。
ただ想像以上に沢山のクジラたちに遭えたこと、船の真下に泳ぐクジラを見ることが出来たこと、クジラの歌ごえを聴くことが出来たことは、素敵な思いでとなりました。
クルーの皆さんもとても感じが良く、心地よい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

I participated because I love snorkeling, but I was a little disappointed that I didn't encounter as many fish as I had hoped. However, I think the water clarity around Molokini Island is high, and it's a beautiful sea. Since it was the right season, I was also able to enjoy whale watching.
シュノーケリングが好きなので参加しましたが、思ったほど魚たちには出逢えずちょっぴり残念でした。ただモロキニ島周囲の海水透明度は高く、綺麗な海だと思います。
ちょうど時期でしたので、ホエールウォッチングも楽しむことが出来ました。

The sea was very beautiful. It was great.
The water temperature was quite low, and it was cold in the morning, so I got out quickly. I thought I should have worn something on top.
海はとてもきれいでした。よかったです。
水温が結構低く、午前中は寒かったので、すぐに上がりました。上に何か着ていけばよかったと思いました。

The check-in area at the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel is very convenient, located by the seaside lawn. With the strong winds in Ka'anapali, we hurriedly boarded the catamaran, timing our entry just right. As soon as we set off, we were served mini cakes and drinks (including alcoholic options), and there was an all-you-can-eat dessert and drink service. The staff moved around among the passengers, engaging in friendly conversation while being attentive to our needs.
The two-hour cruise featuring dolphins, sea turtles, and whales flew by in no time. It seems that when the weather is bad, departures are from Lahaina, but we were fortunate to have good weather this time. The day before, the operator called to ask if we could push our reservation back by an hour, but they communicated clearly and patiently, so the time change was no problem at all. In the afternoon, we drove from Lahaina to the airport with our rental car, making for a fulfilling day. After spending three days in Maui, we left for Waikiki, where we spent another seven days. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Hawaii. I hope everyone has a great time!
宿泊先のカアナパリビーチホテルのシーサイド芝のエリアがチェックインなのでとっても楽です
風の強いカアナパリ 双胴船に乗り込むタイミングを計りながら急いで乗り込みます 動き出してすぐミニケーキ ドリンク(アルコールもあり) デザートは食べ放題 飲み放題 スタッフが気配りしながら乗客の間を動き回りながら楽しく話しかけてくれます
イルカの体現 海亀 クジラと2時間のクルーズはあっという間に終了です 天候が悪いときはラハイナからの出航になるようですが今回は天候に恵まれよかったです 前日運営外車から予約時間を1時間遅らせて欲しいと電話がありましたがゆっくり分かりやすく話してもらえたので時間変更も特に問題ありませんでした 午後からはレンタカーでラハイナ → エアポートへの移動でしたが充実した1日でした 3日間過ごしたマウイを離れ、ワイキキに戻り7日過ごしました。大いにハワイを満喫できました 皆さん楽しんでください

Thank you for participating in the tour. We started with an orientation and a coffee and donut break (included in the tour), which allowed for interaction among all the participants. Eating a little donut can help prevent altitude sickness. After that, we will stop by a supermarket to shop for dinner sushi bento, and I will introduce various items you may have forgotten to buy. You will also have the opportunity to shop for recommended items at local prices in Hawaii. Please join us for the rest of the tour. Haha! We look forward to your next visit to Maui.
ツァー参加して頂き有難うございました。最初にオリエンテーリング兼コーヒードーナッツ休憩、(ツァーに含まれています) がありまして。ツァー参加の皆さんとの交流があります。少しのドーナッツでも食べておくと高山病予防になります。そのあとは夜の寿司弁当の買い物にスーパーに立ち寄りますので、忘れていたお買い物も色々ご紹介していきますので、それぞれが現地ハワイの地元価格でお勧めするお買い物もできます。あとの工程は是非ツァーに参加してくださいませ。笑 またゆっくりマウイに遊びに来てくださいね。お待ちしております。
