Expeditions Lanai Ferry Boat Ticket from Maui | Round-Trip & One-Way Rides

Whales!

Reviewed by: Carolyn B

We were lucky to see numerous whales on our trip to Lanai. We took this trip LY to snorkel at Hulopo'e Beach (which is a short walk from the marina) and had such a great time we decided to repeat the experience. It's a pretty straight forward trip - just be sure to buy your ticket a day ahead and arrive at least 30 minutes before so you can get in line to snag a good seat if you want to whale watch (in season).

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

The talk by our guide Yamapi and the view from the summit of Haleakalā are worth seeing. ガイドのヤマピーさんのトークとハレアカラ山頂からの景色 一見の価値あり

Reviewed by: penchan

Three years ago, I visited during the day, but this time my wife wanted to enjoy the night view and stargazing, which was beautiful.

The pickup at the hotel in Ka'anapali was at 2:30 PM. The well-known Yamapi from Japanese TV came directly to pick us up and, before heading to the meeting point at the shop, he drove us through the town of Lahaina, introducing the shop and various attractions along the way.

At the meeting point, we joined a family from the south, and the six of us first went to a supermarket to buy takeout sushi packs. We also purchased some bargain bottled snacks for souvenirs, and then we finally drove towards the entrance to Haleakalā.

To prevent altitude sickness, we made three restroom stops along the way. After passing through the entrance checkpoint, our guide Yamapi, who has climbed this mountain countless times, drove safely. About ten minutes before sunset, we parked in a crowded parking lot below the summit, which is used by the tour company, and waited for the sunset while enjoying the view. Gradually, the sun disappeared below the horizon, and even after it had completely set, the pale blue night sky spread out in a fantastical array of colors. Such a vast sky is something you can never see in Japan; it’s a grandeur that can only be experienced here.

After the sun went down, Yamapi truly shined with his stargazing expertise. Having been a member of the astronomy club during his student days, he shared an abundance of knowledge about celestial observations. Other tours might just end with looking at the stars, but we used a GPS telescope to observe various stars and even the craters on the moon. The stargazing concluded with warm tea and warm clothing provided, allowing us to enjoy the chilly summit comfortably.

We returned to the hotel in Ka'anapali just after 10 PM. Thank you so much, Yamapi; we truly enjoyed our night in Maui. The sunset and stargazing tour is dependent on the weather, and we were fortunate tonight. I believe this is a must-do tour when visiting Maui. It was a wonderful experience.

三年前に訪れたのは日中 今回は家内が大好きな夜景と星空観察 綺麗でした。
カーナパリのホテルのピックアップは14時30分 日本の番組でもお馴染みヤマピーさんが直接ピックアップに来られ集合場所であるショップに寄る前にラハイナの街をドライブしながらショップの紹介やら見所を紹介していただいた。
集合場所のショップで南からのご家族と合流 6人でまずはスーパーへテイクアウトの寿司パックを購入 その他 お土産用のバーゲン品の瓶詰めスナックを購入しいよいよハレアカラの入山道へと車を走らせます 
高山病予防のために3ヶ所のトイレストップを挟みながらどんどん車は進みます。
入山チェックのゲートを通過 どれ程の回数登っているか数えきれないほどの回数をこなしたヤマピーガイドが安全に車を走らせます 日の入り10分ほど前にこみあう山頂駐車場の一段した ツアー会社の面々が使う駐車場+サンセットポイントに車を停め夕日を眺めながらサンセットを待ちます やがて太陽がその姿を少しずつ下へと姿を消していきます 完全に陽が落ちたあとも淡いブルーの夜空が幻想的な色合いで広がる広大な姿を見せてくれます こんな広い空 日本じゃ絶対見られない ここでしか見れない広大さ 陽が落ちたあとはヤマピーさんの真骨頂 星空観察 学生時代天文部に在籍して数々の知識を身に付けたヤマピーさんがこれでもかと言うほど 天体観察説明をしてくれます 他のツアーではただ星空を眺めるだけできっと終わってしまうでしょう GPS天体望遠鏡で様々の星を眺め クレーターの高さまで見て取れる月面も観察して星空観察は終了 暖かいお茶 暖かい防寒着も準備してあり冷え冷えとした山頂でもゆっくり楽しむことが出来ました。

It's quite a niche tour! Laughing, you can observe a starry sky that you can't see in Japan while sitting in a chair and using the latest telescope, so you should encounter views you've never seen before. I'm humbled to receive so many compliments. I'm looking forward to seeing you again in Maui.

かなりマニアックなツァーです。笑 やはり日本では見られない星空を椅子に座って最新の望遠鏡で観察していくので、今まで見たことに無い景色に出会えるはずです。
お褒めの言葉を沢山頂いて恐縮です。またマウイでお目にかかれるのを楽しみにしております。

I am indeed making thorough preparations to climb 3,000 meters. Eating at Krispy Kreme first helps activate blood flow, and since there can be a temperature difference of over 20 degrees, I am also being careful about keeping warm. I look forward to seeing you in Maui.

やはり3000メートルに登るために万全の準備をして上がっております。最初クリスピークリームで食事をとるのも、空腹で登るよりも血液の流れが活性化する事や寒暖の差が20度以上あったりするので、防寒にも気を付けております。またマウイでお目にかかれるのを楽しみにしております。

A sky full of stars. 満天の星空

Reviewed by: ケータン

Four years ago, during stargazing at the summit of Mauna Kea, I was able to see the summit of Haleakalā, and this time I participated in the long-awaited tour. The itinerary was easier than Mauna Kea, and I was able to see the stars beautifully. I am grateful for the meticulous planning by our guide, Yamapi. While the grandeur of the summit cannot compare to Mauna Kea, you can see the shadow of the Earth beautifully at Haleakalā. Maui has diverse nature with mountains, waterfalls, and dry areas, which was fantastic. There were hardly any chatty Chinese or Koreans (including Japanese tourists).

4年前にマウナケア山頂で星空観賞の時に、ハレアカラ山頂を見ることができ、今回念願のツアーに参加しました。行程はマウナケアより楽で、星空も綺麗に見ることができました。案内人の山ピーのち密な計画のおかげと感謝しております。山頂の雄大さはマウナケアには負けますが、地球の影がハレアカラは綺麗に見ることができます。マウイ島は山あり滝あり乾燥地ありと多様な自然があり最高でした。おしゃべり中国人、韓国人は、ほとんどいません。(日本人観光客も)

Maui's summit takes about three and a half hours to reach, with an age restriction of 65 years and older, and those under 12 are not allowed. However, there may not be another mountain at an elevation of 3,000 meters that can be accessed by car without age restrictions, although there is a limit on the number of people. Please do come back to Maui again.

マウイケアーは頂上までやく3時間半かかり年齢制限が65歳以上、と12歳以下は入れないので、約1時間半で人数制限はありますが、年齢制限が無く車であがれる3000メートル系の山は他に無いかもしれませんね。是非またマウイにお越しになってください。

ラナイ島行きフェリーチケット 古代ハワイアンの伝説が残る島へ<片道・往復/マアラエア港発着>

The best lunch. 最高のランチ

Reviewed by: ケータン

On the day of the trip, we exchanged our voucher for tickets at Lahaina Harbor. We already had round-trip tickets, and the exchange was simple. The ferry was larger than I expected and didn't sway much, making for a comfortable 50-minute ride to Lanai Island. The harbor on Lanai is small, with one souvenir shop. Be sure to stop by; they have T-shirts designed for Lanai that I believe you can only get here.

Our goal was to have lunch at the Four Seasons, which is about a 15-minute walk along the paved road. There is a path to the hotel before the sign, but it's for service vehicles, so please make your way to the sign. The hotel, as expected from the Four Seasons, is difficult to describe in words but is excellent. The garden, in particular, is like a different world. There is a restaurant by the poolside in the garden for lunch. They will ask for your name, but it's perfectly fine even if you're not a guest, so just give your name and take a seat. The menu features organic vegetables. It's quite pricey, but delicious. By the way, breakfast here costs about 10,000 yen per person. For lunch, I had coconut curry.

There was also a male chef who spoke Japanese. It seemed there were no Japanese guests today. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch and returned to Maui from the ferry terminal. It was a unique experience to have lunch at the Four Seasons on Lanai Island.

当日はラハイナ港でバウチャーをチケットに交換します。既に往復のチケットが要されており、簡単に交換できます。フェリーは思っていたより大きく揺れることもなく快適にラナイ島に50分位で着きました。ラナイ島の港はこじんまりで、お土産屋さんが一軒あります。是非よって下さい。ラナイのデザインしたTシャツがあります。ここでしか入手できないと思います。
我々の目的は、フォーシーズンズでのランチで、徒歩で舗装道路沿いに15分程度歩くとホテルの看板があります。看板手前にもホテルまでの道がありますが、作業車用ですので看板まで頑張ってください。ホテルはさすがフォーシーズンズで言葉での表現が難しいけどエクセレント。特に庭園は別世界です。庭園のプールサイドにランチ用のレストランがあります。名前を聞かれますが、宿泊者でなくても当然OKですので、名前を告げて席に着きます。オーガニック野菜使用のメニューです。結構の値段がしますが美味しいです。因みに、ここの朝食は一人約1万円です。ランチはココナツカレーを頂きました。
日本語を話す男性のチーフも居ました。今日は日本人の宿泊は無いみたいでした。ゆっくりとランチをいただき、フェリー乗り場からマウイ島に戻りました。なかなか経験できないラナイ島フォーシーズンズでのランチでした。

A sky full of stars. 満天の星空

Reviewed by: かっちん

At the parking lot a little below the summit, we set up chairs to enjoy the starry sky. It was a rare clear night, and I was deeply moved by the breathtaking view of the star-filled sky. However, the last segment of the mountain peak performance was a bit lengthy; while some people were thrilled, others who wanted to head home might have had mixed feelings about it.

山頂から少し下った駐車場で、椅子をセットして貰っての星空観賞。久しぶりの晴天との事で、隙間が無いくらいの満天の星空に大感動。ただ最後の山ピー節は少々長く、感激している人もいるが早く帰りたい人も居るので少々評価が分かれるかも。

ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる <午前/朝食付き/英語ガイド>

Haleakalā was cold. ハレアカラ、寒かったです。

Reviewed by: 将来輝かしき苦労娘

I participated in a sunrise tour at the summit of Haleakalā on my first visit to Maui. I was a bit confused about the need for reconfirmation, so I called the tour company the day before, but I still didn't quite understand it. On the day of the tour, the bus arrived almost on time. Everyone except me was a foreigner. We were assigned seats, and they provided a Japanese brochure and a Japanese audio guide (upon request). We drove in the dark and quickly arrived at the summit of Haleakalā. While waiting for the sunrise, the wind was strong and it was really cold. I thought I had dressed warmly enough for the tour, but it was still chilly. However, when the sun finally rose, I felt its brightness and warmth, and I could truly appreciate the greatness of nature. The scenery was absolutely stunning. If I ever come to Maui again, I would love to participate in this tour once more.

初めてのマウイ島、ハレアカラ山頂のサンライズツアーに参加しました。よく分からなかったのがリコンファームが必要と書いてあり、不安ながら参加前日に催行会社へ電話をしましたが・・、あれが良く分かりませんでした。当日、ほぼ時間通りにバスが迎えに来てくれました。私以外すべて外国人でした。席を決められており、そこには日本語のパンフレット、日本語のオーディオガイド(要リクエスト)をご準備いただきました。暗い中を走り、あっという間にハレアカラ山頂へ到着。サンライズまでの待ち時間、風も強く本当に寒いです。だいぶ防寒対策をしてツアーに参加したつもりでしたが、それでも寒かったです。しかしいざ太陽が昇ってくると明るさと温かさを感じ、自然の偉大さを体で感じることができました。景色が本当に素晴らしいです。マウイ島に来ることがあれば、また参加したいです。

Drive tour ドライブ・ツアー

Reviewed by: aya

I participated in this tour because I wanted to go to Hana on Maui for the first time. I was alone, and there was also a couple from Canada, making a total of three people plus the driver. The car was comfortable with good seats, but the air conditioning was quite effective, making it a bit cold. If you're sensitive to the cold, it's better to take some warm clothing. During the trip, we had time to take photos from the car at various points, and the explanations were given in detail. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand much since I don't speak English. Although the time spent in the car was long, I think participating in the tour was a good choice since it's a place I wouldn't be able to visit easily on my own.

初めてのマウイ島、ハナへ行きたくてこのツアーに参加しました。私は一人で、他にカナダからのご夫婦が参加し、合計3人+ドライバーさんのツアーでした。車はシートもよく快適でしたが、エアコンがよく効いており少し寒かったです。寒がりの方は防寒対策を取ったほうがいいです。道中、ポイントでは車の中から写真を撮る時間を取ってくれたり、説明を丁寧にしてくださったようでした。というのも・・、私は英語ができないので残念な感じでした。。車に乗っている時間が長いのですが、一人ではなかなか行けないの場所なので、ツアーの参加はよかったと思っています。

I was satisfied even without the VIP seats. But it was cold! 結果VIP席でなくても満足。けど寒かった!

Reviewed by: ミカン

I reserved a VIP seat, but there was a mix-up on the day, and I was directed to a regular seat (which I found out later). However, the seat I was given was towards the front of the regular section, so I was able to enjoy it as if it were a VIP seat. Later, I was contacted and informed that there had been a mistake with the seating, and they would refund the difference, which they did. I was lucky that my seat was towards the front of the regular section, but if it had been further back, I think I wouldn't have been satisfied, as I would have expected to be sitting in a VIP seat. Since it was nighttime, I thought it would be cold and brought a jacket, but it was even colder than I imagined!

VIP席で予約したが当日手違いがあり通常席の案内となった(後日分かった)。しかし案内された席は通常席の前の方だったのでこれがVIP席なのかと普通に楽しめた。
後日、席の間違いがあったので差額を返金しますと連絡があり、返金してくれた。たまたま普通席の前の方だったのでラッキーだったけど後ろの方なら当日はVIP席に座っているつもりだったので満足できなかったと思う。

ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる <午前/朝食付き/英語ガイド>

It was a valuable experience. 貴重な経験でした

Reviewed by: Greentea

I participated with my parents in their 70s.

Previously, I had joined a sunset tour at Mauna Kea on the Big Island, so this time I definitely wanted to experience the sunrise.

The sunrise at Haleakalā was truly a precious experience. The sun rising from the magnificent sea of clouds is hard to describe. The space where we waited in the dark, shivering from the cold, transformed into a bright and warm glow with the sun's arrival—it's something you can only understand by experiencing it. The starry sky was also exceptional, but the beauty of the changing colors of the sky is beyond words.

At the summit, there were many tourists reserving spots, and we waited for about an hour. Warm clothing is essential. We prepared winter heat-tech shirts, down jackets, hats, and gloves, but I regretted not wearing two pairs of pants. Hand warmers are also a must, especially for Japanese people who are sensitive to the cold. However, for the trip back and forth, it's better to wear light clothing like a T-shirt, and it's advisable to prepare for changing clothes on the bus since you can leave your luggage there.

One disappointing aspect was that I had requested a Japanese audio guide, but ultimately there was nothing available. I was prepared for the fact that the sunrise tour only had an English guide, but I had a bit of hope since VERTRA's website mentioned one audio guide for every two people. While it was fine to follow along with others to see the sunrise, I could hardly understand the explanations from the guide on the way there and back due to my limited English skills. That was disappointing.

Breakfast was at a golf course, where you can choose your favorite menu items. The breakfast was really delicious. However, the guide didn't manage the seating arrangements well, and we ended up separated into two groups of two and one for breakfast. I understand that it's difficult to expect the same level of detailed service as in Japan, but I wished the guide had put in a little more effort.

The Haleakalā sunset tour in Japanese is also popular. For those who are good at English and okay with a midnight departure, I think the sunrise tour is definitely worth it. However, if I have the opportunity to go to Maui again, I would like to participate in the sunset tour. Alternatively, it might be good to drive to Haleakalā myself since the road is straightforward, so there's no chance of getting lost—just during the daytime.

70代の両親と参加しました。

以前、ハワイ島でマウナケアのサンセットツアーに参加していたので、今回は是非サンライズを、と思って参加しました。

ハレアカラのサンライズは本当に貴重な体験になりました。
雄大な雲海から昇ってくる太陽はなんとも言い難く。真っ暗で寒さに震えながら太陽を待っていた空間が、太陽によって一気に明るくあたたかく輝いたものに変化していくのは、体験してこそわかるもの。星空も抜群でしたが、移りゆく空の色の美しさはなんとも言えません。
山頂には大勢の観光客が場所とりをして、1時間ほど待っています。
防寒具は必須。私たちは冬用のヒートテックのシャツにダウン、帽子や手袋も準備していましたが、それでもズボンを二枚ばきにすれば良かったと後悔しました。カイロも必須です。寒さに過敏な日本人は特にかも。
ただし、行き帰りは普通にTシャツの軽装の方がよく、バス車内で脱ぎ着ができるように準備しておいた方が良いと思います。バスには荷物を置いておけるので。

残念だったこと。
日本語のオーディオをリクエストしていましたが、結局何もないまま。
英語ガイドしかサンライズはないので覚悟はしていましたが、VERTRAさんのHPには2人に1台貸し出し、とあっていたので少し期待していました。サンライズを観るについては、他の人と同じように動いていれば大丈夫だったのですが、行き帰りのガイドさんの説明など、こちらの英語力の乏しさもあって殆どわからず。残念でした。

朝食はゴルフ場で。自分の好きなメニューを選べます。
こちらの朝食は本当に美味しかったです。
ただ、座席の配分をガイドさんが上手に手配してくれず、私たちだけ2人と1人に分かれて朝食を取りました。日本のような細やかなサービスを求めるのは難しいとはわかっていますが、ガイドさんのもう一手間が欲しかったです。

ハレアカラはサンセットの日本語ツアーも人気です。
英語が得意、夜中の出発もOKの方はサンライズツアーも大いにありかと思いますが、今度、もしマウイに行く機会があればサンセットに参加したいと思います。もしくは、ハレアカラを自分でドライブするのが良いかもしれません。道路については一本道ですので、迷うこともなく。ただし日中に。

伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー マウイの神話 <優先入場VIP席あり/ビュッフェ夕食/飲み放題/ロイヤル・ラハイナ・リゾート>

It was a fun time! 楽しいひとときでした!

Reviewed by: Greentea

This time, considering the burden on my elderly parents, I requested VIP seats, and it was the right choice. We were able to enjoy priority entry and relax in the front row. Our family was the only Japanese there; most of the attendees were from Europe and America. After watching the sunset, we had a proper dinner. The meal was served buffet-style as the sky turned to stars. Honestly, the number of menu items was considerably fewer than I expected, and while each dish was delicious, I started to feel a bit bored halfway through. However, drinks were all-you-can-drink, and with a variety of options, those who enjoy drinking might be very satisfied.

The show itself was full of lively spirit, and laughter echoed throughout the venue. With many attendees from Europe and America, the atmosphere was quite lively. However, since it lasts nearly three hours, the time felt a bit long. It was a bit chilly, so a light jacket is essential, especially since most drinks are served cold.

As for my parents' impressions, they said that while they don't need to see it two or three times, it's a show worth watching at least once.

On the way back, they sell commemorative photos taken at the entrance, and if the picture turns out well, it might be worth purchasing as a keepsake. Although it's a tourist price, my parents were happy with it.

During our stay, we used a rental car, but since we planned to drink, we requested a taxi from the hotel. Please be careful, as drinking and driving is strictly prohibited in Hawaii!

今回は高齢の両親の負担を考え、VIP席でお願いしましたが正解でした。
優先入場、前列席で、ゆったりと過ごすことができました。
日本人は私たちの家族だけ。ほとんど欧米の方々です。
夕焼けを見た後に本格的に夕食。星空に変わる中、ビュッフェ形式のお食事でした。正直、メニューの数は予想よりもかなり少なく、各一品は美味しいのですが、途中から少々飽きてきてしまいました。ただ、飲み物は飲み放題、メニューも多数のため、飲むのが好きな方には大満足かも。

ショー自体はサービス精神旺盛で会場中うけて笑いが起こっていました。欧米の方が多くノリが良いです。ただ3時間ちかくあるため、時間は少々長く感じます。肌寒いので、羽織りもんは必須。飲み物もほとんど冷たいものですので。

両親の感想ですが、二回、三回とは観なくてもよいが、1度は観ておきたいショーとのこと。

帰りがけに入場時に撮影した記念写真を販売していますが、映りが良ければ記念に購入しても。観光価格ですが両親は喜んでいました。

また滞在中はレンタカーを使用していましたが、飲酒するためホテルからはタクシーをお願いしました。ハワイも飲酒運転厳禁ですのでご注意を!!

ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる <午前/朝食付き/英語ガイド>

It was a beautiful starry sky and sunrise. 綺麗な星空と日の出でした。

Reviewed by: akubichan

The stars were very close and beautiful. It felt like they were falling. The weather was nice, and the sunrise was also very beautiful. At the summit, the wind was strong, and the perceived temperature was quite low. I wore Heattech and a down jacket, along with fleece-lined sweatpants, but it was still cold, and I lost feeling in my toes. It might be a good idea to prepare leg warmers, gloves, and a wool hat. I participated alone, and there were no other Japanese people, but everyone on the tour was nice and friendly, and they spoke to me casually. Thanks to that, it turned out to be a fun tour.

とても星が近く綺麗でした。星が降ってくるような感じでした。
お天気も良く日の出もとても綺麗でした。
山頂では風が強く、体感温度はかなり低かったです。ヒートテックにダウン、下は裏起毛のスウェットパンツでしたが寒くて足先の感覚は無くなりました。レッグウォーマーや手袋、毛糸の帽子等の準備はされた方が良いかも。
1人で参加、他に日本人はいませんでしたが、ツアーに参加される方も良い方ばかりで気さくに声をかけていただきました。
おかげで楽しいツアーになりました。

ハレアカラ山頂 日の出鑑賞ツアー マウイ島最高峰の山頂で自然の偉大さを感じる <午前/朝食付き/英語ガイド>

セクシーな朝日! sexy sunrise !

Reviewed by: fantastic

The sun hid behind the clouds at a crucial moment, but according to our wonderful driver and guide, Neri, we were lucky enough to witness the sexy sunrise, which has only about a 5 percent chance of being seen!

Anyway, on this Haleakalā tour, Neri, the only female driver, was incredibly skilled as a guide and had perfect driving techniques.

The tour was on August 16, and it was really cold; even wearing a Heattech turtleneck and an ultra-light down jacket, I felt like I was shivering. I think it would have been nice to have ear muffs, hand warmers, and something like a blanket or a cape as extra gear.

My fellow passengers were from Germany and the United States (San Francisco, Chicago, etc.), and we all had a great time. The guide spoke in English, and I think I understood about half of it, but it wasn't a problem at all.

太陽は、肝心なところで雲隠れしてしまいましたが、素晴らしいドライバー兼ガイドのネリさんの言によれば、5パーセント程度での確率でしか見ることの出来ないセクシーサンライズ!を拝むことが出来てラッキーでした。
とにかく、このハレアカラツアーで一人しかいないという女性ドライバーのネリさんは、ガイドはこの上なく上手く、ドライブテクニックも完璧でした。
さて、8月16日のツアーでしたが、とにかく寒くヒートテックのタートルネックにウルトラライトダウンを着込んでも震えが来るような体感温度でした。
耳あて、ホッカイロ、毛布ようなマント?のようなものも備えとしてあれば良かったかと思います。
なお、同乗者はドイツ、アメリカ(サンフランシスコ、シカゴなど)のメンバーでしたが、十分に楽しむことが出来ました。
英語のガイドですが、何となく半分程度は理解出来たと思いますが、特に問題はありませんでしたよ。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

It was a bit disappointing. 少し残念でした。

Reviewed by: miyuki

The weather was good, but perhaps due to the lack of wind, clouds covered the sky and we couldn't see many stars at the summit. Since the weather is beyond our control, I accepted that. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the guide who suggested we should try again next time. However, at around 1000 meters, we started to see a few stars, so we stopped the car and were able to see the stars again. The guide offered to explain the stars now or to plan for a future visit, allowing everyone to choose.

I felt very humbled, but since we were all meeting for the first time, I thought it would be difficult to choose one option as opinions might differ. There were four groups, and one person from my group said they wanted to proceed with the explanation, but someone from another group suggested we should plan for a future visit, so everyone agreed on the latter. I was fine with the idea of a future visit, but I felt a bit disappointed because I didn't think everyone would be able to return.

Other than that, I thought the attention to detail in the selection of background music and the setup of chairs at the summit was wonderful.

天候は良かったのですが、風があまりなかったせいか雲がかかり山頂で星があまり見えませんでした。天候はどうしようもできないので納得をしています。お心遣い頂き今度リベンジしましょうと言って頂いたのですが、1000mあたりの場所で少し星が見えてきたので、車を停めて頂き改めて星を見せて頂けました。もし良かったら今星の説明をさせて頂くか今度リベンジか皆で選んで下さいとの言葉を頂きました。
非常に恐縮ですが、お互い初めて会った人ばかりで意見は別れる場合もあるのにどちらか選ぶ事は難しいと思います。4グループいて1人の方が今お願いしますと言われましたが違うグループの方がリベンジでと言われたので皆さんリベンジで合わされました。私もリベンジで良かったのですが、皆さんが再訪出来る訳では無いと思いましたので、その点だけ残念に思いました。
その他はBGMの選曲や山頂での椅子のセッティングあらゆる面での説明など事細かな配慮は素晴らしかったと思います。

Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I believe your feedback is very valid. I will inform our guide Yamauchi and we are currently exploring the best possible solutions. We look forward to the day we can meet again for a revenge tour.

Thank you for using VELTRA. We are very sorry that, despite your anticipation, you were unable to fully enjoy the starry sky due to the weather. On that day, due to rain and wind, we were unable to observe as we had hoped, and although we attempted to move to a location where stars could be seen, we received a report from the tour company that only a few stars were visible.

However, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the care and explanations provided by the guide during the tour, as well as the background music.

We will continue to work with the tour company to ensure we provide activities that meet your satisfaction. We hope you will consider using our services again in the future.

VELTRAをご利用ありがとうございます。
この度は楽しみにされていたにも関わらず、天候により星空を満喫できませんでしたこと、弊社としても残念でなりません。
当日は雨と風の影響により思うような観測ができず、星が観測できる場所まで移動を試みましたが、
最終的に星が数個しか見えなかったとのことのこと催行会社より報告を受けております。

しかしながらツアー中のガイドによる心遣いや説明、BGMなどのをお楽しみいただけたとのこと、大変うれしく存じます。

今後も催行会社とともに、常にご満足いただけるアクティビティの提供に努めてまいります。
またの機会にご利用いただけましたら幸いです。

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

One Maui Morning

Reviewed by: jqgossard

As early as the pick up times for this tour, it was worth it!! The experience to watch the sunrise over Maui and right above the clouds of Haleakala was absolutely amazing!! Shuttle ride up the mountain was perfect to take naps before arriving to the summit. Pick a spot along the fence line as soon as you can because it gets crowded very fast!!

Now...all visitors, PLEASE understand that you are a VISITOR into the home of Hawaiian Islanders, RESPECT their boundaries on their land!!! DO NOT hop over fence lines!! There are barriers for a reason!!
1) They are protecting their island plants and animals as they aren’t very many anymore.
2) STAY OFF SACRED LAND!!! They welcomed you into their home, respect the places you are not allowed to enter!!

Don’t be ignorant!! Respect the land you travel!
There were MANY ignorant people that even when the park representatives came out to get people back over the right side of the fence were ignored!

They opened their home and welcomed you so that you can experience an amazing view, enjoy it by appreciating their hospitality and respecting their boundaries.

The natives will chant as the sunrises, it would be nice for everyone to quiet the conversation and bask in the chant and take in this spectacular experience.

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: しんちゃん

We participated as a family of four. I have experienced various OP tours at different tourist spots in the past, but I can't think of a tour that surpasses Mr. Yamauchi's guidance. Honestly, I did a bit of research beforehand, but it's easy to see why there are so many repeat customers! Participating during a turning point in life or when feeling lost would surely resonate deeply.

家族4人で参加しました。過去に色々な観光地でOPツアーを経験しましたが山内さんのガイドに優るツアーは思い当たりません。正直、事前に少しリサーチして挑んだのですがリピーターが多いのは頷けます!人生の転換期や彷徨った時などに参加すると心に沁みるでしょうね!

I met a wonderful family! Thank you so much for participating in the tour. If anything comes up, please remember that starry sky! I look forward to our next reunion.

Haleakalā Sunset Stargazing Tour ハレアカラサンセット スターゲージング・ツアー

Reviewed by: マリアテレージア

The level of our guide, Yamauchi, was high, and we received the best guidance. It was a memorable tour. It was very cold, but the stars seen from the summit of Haleakalā were a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During the explanation of the stars, it felt like something out of Star Wars, with laser beams creating an illusion that the stars were suddenly closer. It was really cool.

ツワ~ガイドさんの山内さんのレベルが高くて、最高の案内をして頂きました。思い出に残るツワ~でした。
とっても寒かったけど。 ハレアカラ山頂から見た星。生まれて初めての経験でした。星の説明の時まるでスターウォーズ見たい、いきなり星が近くなるような錯角をおこす位レザー光線。。カッコ良かったです。

Private Road to Hana Tours Maui - Waterfalls, Rainforests & Coastal Scenic Drive with Expert Guide

10/10

Reviewed by: Jake

This tour was so fun. We had a really nice driver that talked about the culture and history of Maui, and she even asked my wife and I questions about ourselves. She knew all the best places to stop & take pictures, eat banana bread, and what literally every plant was. She was truly and expert guide. At one point, she stopped at a waterfall for us to look at, and she said we could jump off of it and she'd take a video of us. And we did!! It was SO fun. Wow. I would do this again. Anyone who goes might want to bring a change of clothes/a towel in case you want to go for a swim!

I was deeply grateful! 感謝感激でした!

Reviewed by: miyuki

They provided clear and detailed explanations about where to sit after boarding. They were always attentive to me, offering ginger-infused soda and acupressure for motion sickness when I started to feel unwell. Even after entering the water, they supported us while considering each person's swimming level! I struggled to encounter a turtle, but after persistent effort, they found one at the last moment, and the turtle came up to the surface for air! It was so cute and moving!!

They even set aside a hamburger for me since I couldn't eat due to feeling unwell, and I truly appreciate their thoughtfulness. My husband, who participated with me, was also very touched! Thank you so much!

乗船してからどこの位置に座ればいいかなどその他も事細かな説明を分かりやすくして頂きました。船酔いしていまった私に、生姜の入った炭酸水や酔い止めのツボを押してくれたり常に気に掛けて頂きました。また、海に入ってからもそれぞれの泳ぎのレベルに配慮してサポートして頂きました!亀になかなか出会えず粘りに粘って最後の最後で、亀を見つけてくれて息継ぎに亀が水面に上がって来ました!とても可愛いくて感動しました!!
ランチのハンバーガーを気分が悪く食べられなかった私の分も取り置いてくれていて、心遣いに心中より感謝致します。一緒に参加した主人もとても感動しておりました!本当にありがとうございました!
