Last year, I participated in this tour for the first time and was so moved that I decided to join again this year as a key event in Maui! As a result, there were many clouds this time, so we couldn't see a sky full of stars, but just listening to Yamapi's explanations makes this tour worth it. Rather, it feels like a waste not to visit Haleakalā when coming to Maui! I plan to visit Maui again to experience the starry sky and the atmosphere of Haleakalā, and to meet Yamapi. Thank you very much!
去年、初めてこのツアーに参加させて頂いて
信じられないくらいに感動したので今年もマウイの主軸イベントとして
参加!
結果、今回は雲が多く満天の星というわけにはいきませんでしたが
ヤマピーさんの解説を聞いているだけでこのツアーには参加する価値があります。というよりマウイに来てハレアカラに行かないなんてことは勿体ない気がします!
また星空とハレアカラの空気、ヤマピーさんに会いにマウイを訪れるつもりです。有難うございました!

Unfortunately, we couldn't go snorkeling at Molokini this year due to the strong winds, but thanks to our attentive guide (a Japanese woman named Takako), we had a wonderful time. Her kindness was not pushy, and her quick and detailed movements were a pleasure to watch! Just seeing her in action made the boat trip worthwhile.
The space on the boat, even just enjoying burgers and spending time there, felt blissful. I think we will be relying on your services again next year. Thank you very much!

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。

On the morning of the day, it was unfortunate that we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to strong winds. However, at one of the two snorkeling spots, I was able to swim with sea turtles, which was very satisfying. The hamburger for lunch after the first snorkeling session was one of the best I've ever had, perhaps because I was tired after coming out of the sea. Additionally, after the second snorkeling session, there was an all-you-can-drink service for beer and Mai Tais, which was also fantastic. It became a wonderful memory of Maui. Thank you very much!
当日の朝、風が強いとのことでモロキニ島には行けなかったのが残念でした。ただ、2か所でシュノーケリングしたうちの1か所では、ウミガメと泳ぐこともでき、とても満足できるものでした。1本目のスノーケリング後のランチのハンバーガーは、疲れて海から上がった後だったからか、これまで食べたなかでも最高ランクの美味しさでした。また、2本目のスノーケリングの後には、飲み放題のビール、マイタイ等のサービスもあり、これも最高でした。とても良いマウイでの思い出になりました。どうもありがとうございました!

During my solo trip to Maui, I participated in a snorkeling tour to Molokini Island. A taxi arranged by the tour picked me up from my condominium. When I arrived at the meeting point, a Japanese guide welcomed me. There are people working here as Japanese guides, as well as those handling tour operations and assisting Japanese guests. The guide dedicated to Japanese tourists was with us almost the entire time during the tour. On the day I participated, both guides were present, and since there were only five of us Japanese guests (two couples and myself), the guide was always nearby, providing tips on the best seating positions on the boat and the timing for meals (if we didn't go right away, we would have to wait in line and wouldn't be able to relax). However, I was lucky because this guide only works twice a week.
There were two snorkeling spots: Molokini Island and Wailea (I'm a bit fuzzy on this one...). At Molokini, we enjoyed the clarity of the water, and at Wailea, we enjoyed the fish. We even encountered sea turtles at Wailea! I got so caught up swimming with them that I drifted too far from the boat, making it difficult to return. I hope others will be careful and enjoy themselves (laughs).
Since Japanese is not spoken in Maui, having a Japanese guide was very significant and reassuring. I was filled with anxiety as it was my first solo trip and my first time in Maui, but when I shared my concerns, the guide told me to contact them if I needed anything after the tour, which made me feel very supported during my stay. I am very grateful to this guide.
The scenery, the beauty of the ocean, and the atmosphere of the staff were all wonderful, so I definitely want to participate again when I visit Maui next time.
ひとり旅でマウイを訪れた際にモロキニ島シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。
コンドミニアムまでの送迎はツアーで手配されたタクシーがピックアップしに来てくれました。
集合場所に着くと、日本語ガイドさんが迎えてくれました。
こちらには日本語ガイドとして働いている方と、ツアー運営(ツアー中の諸々の作業)と日本人対応をする方がいるそうです。
日本語ガイドとしての方は、ツアー中はほぼ日本人観光客につきっきりで対応してくれます。
私が参加した日は両名ともいらして、なおかつ日本人はご夫婦二組と私の5人しかいなかったので、ガイドさんは常に近くにいてくれて、船の席のベストポジションや食事のタイミング(すぐ行かないと並んでしまってゆっくりできないので)など色々教えてくださいました。
ただし、このガイドさんは週2回の勤務なのだそうで、ラッキーでした。
シュノーケルスポットは二箇所。モロキニ島とワイレア(ちょっとうろ覚え…)。
モロキニ島は透明度を楽しみ、ワイレアでは魚を楽しむという感じ。
そしてワイレアではウミガメにも会えました!
夢中になって一緒に泳いでいたら船から離れすぎてしまったので、戻るのが大変でした。。
そこは気をつけて楽しんでいただきたいです(笑)
マウイ島だと日本語が通じないので、日本語ガイドさんの存在はとても大きく、安心できます。
私は初めてのひとり旅、初めてのマウイ島で不安いっぱいだったのですが、それをお話しするとツアー後も何かあれば連絡して〜と仰ってくださり、とても心強く滞在することができました。
このガイドさんには感謝でいっぱいです☆
景色も海の美しさもスタッフさんの雰囲気も、全て素晴らしかったので、またマウイに行った際には是非参加したいと思っています。

Der Sonnenaufgang über dem Haleakala ist definitiv einen Ausflug wert. Wer nicht mitten in der Nacht eine unbekannte und kurvenreiche Strecke fahren will, sollte diese Tour buchen. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass alle Busse auf den Parkplatz am Visitor Center halten und es entsprechend voll dort ist. Außerdem ist eine organisierte Tour die einzige Möglichkeit den Sonnenaufgang zu sehen, wenn man keinen Parkplatz mehr über die Website des Nationalparks buchen kann... Ohne reservierten Parkplatz kein Zutritt!

Since my trip was decided at the last minute, I didn't make many plans and only booked this tour. This time, I traveled to Maui, where I went with my family 20 years ago, but this time it was just my mother and me on our first trip together. While we enjoyed our time leisurely, this tour became a wonderful memory. Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was attentive to each participant, providing advice on souvenirs and sharing stories from his overseas experiences, which made the time very enjoyable.
Additionally, the beauty of the starry sky, which I had never seen before, was accompanied by detailed explanations, and he prepared warm clothing, blankets, and hot tea, allowing us to fully enjoy the stars as a mother and child. Next time, I would like my father, husband, and sister to join us.
Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi.

Unfortunately the day we went it was raining, very cloudy and very windy at the top so no sunrise. It is the risk you take when you book the trip. The guides were good to hang around hoping for some sun to come out. The breakfast was pretty good but could have been a little better organized. Overall, an ok day but nothing you can do about the weather. The company was nice to offer pants and jackets to everyone so it kept our clothes dry and us warm at the top, a nice feature I didn't realize we were getting.

I participated with my wife and our two elementary school children. We visited two snorkeling spots with abundant coral and high visibility, where we saw many tropical fish and even sea turtles. The kids were very excited, and I think it became a memorable part of our trip.
The Japanese staff kindly taught us the procedures and how to use the equipment, and they also recommended spots in the water and informed us when we spotted sea turtles, allowing us to have a safe and fulfilling time.
The hamburgers we ate on the boat, along with the beer, cookies, and coffee during our return trip after snorkeling, were all fantastic and highly recommended under the refreshing blue sky of Maui!
It was unfortunate that we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to strong winds, but as mentioned, we saw plenty of fish and sea turtles, which adds to the excitement for next time.

The local tour with an English guide (including myself, there were three Japanese passengers and about ten foreign passengers) was well explained, and as a one-day tour, it was good. Unfortunately, the view from the visitor center near the summit was completely obscured by fog, which was disappointing, but later at the second viewpoint, I was relieved to see the entire crater beautifully. I was moved by the majestic views, including the scenery along the way. I’m not sure if we passed through the town of Paia as scheduled (I don’t think it was a particular issue), but the towns of Makawao and Iao Valley were also nice. Initially, it was stated that drop-offs were not allowed except at the pickup hotel, but after the Iao Valley tour, we split into a shuttle bus heading to Kahului and a bus going to Lahaina, so I was able to be dropped off at my desired destination of Lahaina, which was very helpful. Thank you very much.
英語ガイドの現地ツアー(乗客のうち私を含めて3人が日本人で、残り10数名は外国人)で、私の語学力ではドライバー兼ガイドの説明がその2割程度も聞けたかどうかわかりませんが、よく説明されており、1日ツアーとして良かったです。残念ながら、頂上近くのビジター・センターからの眺めは霧で全く見えず、これで終わりかとガッカリしましたが、その後、少し下がった第2展望台ではクレーター全体がきれいに見れてホッとしました。途中の景色も含めて、雄大な眺めに感動しました。予定にあったパイアの街 を通ったかどうかは不明でした(特に問題とは思っていません)が、マカワオの街、イアオ渓谷も良かったです。
当初、迎えのホテル以外への送りは不可とされていましたが、イアオ渓谷観光後にカフルイ方面へのシャトルバスとラハイナ方面への本バス移動に分かれたため、目的のラハイナまで乗せていただき、これも助かりました。

I was recommended this show by the taxi driver I took from the airport and made a reservation. The tables are shared, and everyone chats in a friendly atmosphere.
Not only does it feature relaxed Hawaiian hula dancing, but it also showcases various Polynesian dances from Tahiti, Samoa, and more. There are several interactive performances as well (like children dancing on stage together), making it a show that families, couples, and people of all ages can enjoy together.
One thing to note is that there are many moments where English proficiency is helpful. This includes communication at shared tables and understanding explanations, such as going to the buffet to get food for your table; if you don't catch it well, you might find yourself confused.

Unfortunately, on the day of the tour, the heavy clouds lingered. I was worried about how it would turn out, but the underwater scenery was incredibly beautiful, enough to blow away the gray skies! I was able to swim leisurely with the sea turtles, creating great memories.
I want to thank Kana from the crew for all her help. It was really fun to hear various stories during our travels. Thank you very much!
The "fresh broccoli" that was served as a salad will definitely be something I try at home too (laughs).

I drove clockwise from Kapalua with a rental car. Since the roads are quite steep and narrow, it might be better to leave with plenty of time to spare. If you go the other way, the distance is longer, but the roads are easier, so I recommend that route if you're not confident in your driving.
The restroom is clean, but this is the last restroom before horseback riding. After receiving a brief explanation in English, we started riding right away.
We walked up a steep slope from the beginning, but the horses are well-trained and responsive, so it’s not scary at all. The course is varied, the scenery is amazing, and the staff were kind and communicated in broken Japanese.
The basic pace is walking, but they invite those who want to run the horses to give it a try, and there were even two opportunities to do so. I participated in horseback riding tours on other islands, but running was often prohibited there, so I really appreciated the chance to challenge myself here!
I definitely want to participate again when I come to Maui!
カパルアから時計回りでレンタカーで来ました。かなり険しく細い道を通るので、時間に余裕を持って出発した方がいいかもしれません。反対周りならば、距離は遠いですが、簡単な道なので、運転に自信がなければ、そちらをお勧めします。

I continued to persuade my wife, who cannot swim, to join a snorkeling whale shark tour in Cebu last year, saying, "You can float!" This year, we challenged ourselves with snuba. My wife kept saying, "I'm so nervous! My heart is racing!" even before we left the hotel in the morning.
After about an hour of being rocked by the waves while having breakfast on the catamaran, we arrived at Lanai Island. As for my wife, she kept putting her face in the water and saying, "Buhh!" and then "Pahhh!" After 10 minutes of floating, she couldn't dive. However, thanks to Todd, our snuba instructor, who encouraged her with "You can! Believe me!" she finally went underwater.
She was deeply moved by being able to breathe underwater and, when it was over, she exclaimed, "Ahh, that felt so good! Why haven't I done this before?!" just like she said after last year's whale shark tour.
After snorkeling, those who wanted to could join a short tour of the island. Then we enjoyed a barbecue before heading back to the boat. The return trip had higher waves due to the wind. The catamaran stopped its engine and began sailing. I thought about getting tipsy on beer before getting seasick, so I enjoyed a Hawaiian beer. By the way, alcohol is all-you-can-drink.
The crew's hospitality in trying to entertain the participants was wonderful. We had a great time from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I think the cost performance is excellent.

We headed to Mendes Ranch from Kahului by rental car. There are many curves, but I don't think it's particularly dangerous. Mendes Ranch is easy to find, but I recommend registering your destination on Google Maps.
We went during Golden Week, and apart from us, everyone else was foreign visitors. The instructions are only in English, but I think you can manage the horseback riding just by watching the gestures.
The road has a lot of ups and downs, and the horses seemed a bit difficult to walk, but they were skillfully avoiding rocks as they walked. Some horses slipped, but they seemed accustomed to it.
For experienced riders who wish to, they allow the horses to trot uphill. My previous horseback riding experiences were just walking, so this was a great experience. The scenery was also wonderful.
レンタカーでカフルイ方面からメンデスランチに向かいました。カーブがたくさんありますが、それほど危なくはないと思います。
メンデスランチはわかりやすいところにありますが、グーグルマップで目的地を登録しておくとよいと思います。
ゴールデンウィークに行きましたが、自分達の他はみんな外国の方でした。
説明も英語のみですが、身振り手振りをみているだけで乗馬には支障がないと思います。
アップダウンが激しい道で馬も少し歩きにくそうでしたが、岩なども上手に避けながら歩いていました。
脚を滑らせている馬もいましたが、それも慣れた感じでした。
経験者で希望者には、登り坂で馬に駆け足させてくれます。これまでの他の場所での乗馬は歩くだけでしたのでよい経験ができました。
景色も素晴らしかったです。

The morning pickup was delayed beyond the scheduled time, and since the van was over capacity, we were told to wait for a taxi, which made me very anxious. The taxi was arranged by the tour company, but it arrived more than 30 minutes after the meeting time. However, we made it in time for the ship's departure.
We were fortunate with the weather, so during snorkeling at Molokini Island, we could see all the way to the bottom. The second planned spot, Keawalai, was changed due to poor weather, but we were still able to see two turtles there.
After snorkeling, they provided us with beer and other alcoholic beverages. We enjoyed those while returning to the port.
Even with many clouds, you can still get sunburned while swimming, so don't forget sunscreen for your back! The water temperature isn't very high, so I think it's better to have a wetsuit or something similar.
On the way back, you'll get on the van immediately after getting off the boat, so if you want to change, it's better to do so in the boat's restroom.
朝のピックアップが予定より遅い到着だったうえにバンが定員オーバーだからタクシー待つように言われ、とても不安でした。タクシーはツアー会社が手配してくれましたがタクシーがきたのは集合時間から30分以上経ってからでした。船の出発には間に合いました。
お天気には恵まれたのでモロキニ島でのシュノーケリングでは底の方まで見ることができました。
2箇所目に予定されていたケアワライは天候がよくないということで別のポイントになりましたが、そちらでも2匹のタートルをみることができました。
シュノーケリングが終わるとビールなどのアルコールを提供してくれます。それをいただきながら港に戻りました。
雲が多くても泳いでいる間に日に焼けするので背中への日焼け止めも忘れずに!
水温はそれほど高くないのでウエットなどがあった方がいいと思います。
帰りは船から降りたらすぐにバンに乗るので着替えたい方は船のトイレで済ませた方がよいです。

You don't need to worry about Japanese at all. Our guide, Takako, took care of everyone! She is the best guide I've ever had in the world. It was a fun day of snorkeling. She accurately pointed out the spot where we could see sea turtles. Meeting Takako on Maui was the highlight. I'm looking forward to seeing her again.
日本語の心配は、全くいりません。ガイドの(たかこ)さんが全ての人に気をかけてくださいます!今までのガイドさんで世界一の方です。
楽しいスノーケリングが出来た一日でした。
ウミガメのいる場所も、ピタリと当てられました。マウイ島で(たかこ)さんに会えたのが、最高でした。また、たかこさんに会えるのを楽しみにしております。

We participated as a couple in our 70s. Thanks to the energetic Japanese staff who provided attentive support to the Japanese participants, we had a wonderful snorkeling cruise. Thank you very much.
Upon boarding, we were served breakfast. Shortly after, the Japanese staff explained how to spend time on the boat and confirmed the schedule. This was very helpful for Japanese participants who do not understand English. Additionally, I have hearing difficulties, but the staff explained things in a loud and very clear voice, which made me feel at ease. The staff advised us that Japanese people should act proactively without feeling shy or reserved. Indeed, when we followed that advice, everything went smoothly. I truly appreciated their constant care throughout the trip.
The snorkeling set, fins, life jackets, inflatable rings, and noodles (foam sticks) were provided for free. They rented wetsuits for $10, but the water was surprisingly warm, and wearing a rash guard was sufficient, so I didn't need the wetsuit. Sunscreen was available for free, but it was quite thick and left a white residue.
We were told to wear fins, but since it was my first time using them, I initially didn't know how to move properly. However, I gradually got used to them and figured out the technique; extending my legs while imagining climbing stairs helped me move faster. However, there was no instruction on this, so it might be good to prepare in advance.
The water was very clear, and I was surprised to see even the spines of sea urchins. However, we didn't see colorful fish or sea turtles. There were also foreigners doing snuba diving at the bottom of the sea.
We snorkeled twice near Molokini and Maui, and lunch was provided in between. At the end, a cold beer (all-you-can-drink) was delicious after swimming and feeling tired.
Even for older participants, it was a safe and incredibly enjoyable experience! I highly recommend this tour!
As a reference, I took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick, but those who did seemed to struggle quite a bit. There was no place to store valuables, which was a bit of a hassle, so it might be best to bring only the essentials (like tips).
日本人70代年配夫婦で参加しました。
日本人参加者に対して、元気の良い日本人スタッフさんが丁寧にサポートしてくれたおかげで、楽しいシュノーケリングクルーズになりました。ありがとうございました。
乗船すると、朝食付きが振舞われました。その後すぐに、日本人スタッフさんから船内での過ごし方の説明、スケジュールの確認がありました。英語が分からない日本人にはありがたかったです。また、私は耳が遠いのですが、大きく通るとても聞き取りやすい声で説明してくれたので、安心できました。日本人は積極的に恥ずかしがらず、遠慮せずに行動するようにとアドバイスしてくれました。確かにその通りに行動すると、何事もスムーズに進みました。終始、気にかけてくれたのは本当にありがたかったです。
シュノーケルセット、足ひれ、ライフジャケット、胴回りの浮き輪、ヌードル(発泡スチロールの棒)は無料です。ウエットスーツは10ドルで貸してくれましたが、海の中は以外と暖かくラッシュガードを着れば、ウエットスーツは必要ありませんでした。日焼け止めは無料で置いてありましたが、かなり白くなるタイプです。
足ひれは必ず装着するように言われましたが、初めて使うので、最初はどのように動かしていいか分からなかったですが、だんだん慣れてきてコツが分かり、腿上げをしながら階段を登るイメージで脚を伸ばすと、早く進むようになりました。ただ、このような指導はありませんので、事前に予習するといいかもしれません。
水の中は透明度が高く、ウニの針まで見れたのは驚きでした。ただ、カラフルな魚や海亀は見れませんでした。海の底に潜る、スヌーバをやってる外国人の方もいました。
シュノーケリングはモロキニ島と、マウイ島近くで2回行い、途中昼食が提供され、最後泳ぎ疲れた身体に、ビール(飲み放題)が美味しかったです。
年配でも安心して参加でき、最高に楽しい時間を過ごせました‼︎お勧めのツアーです‼︎
参考までに…酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、船酔いはしませんでしたが、酔ってる人はかなり辛そうでした。貴重品を預ける場所がなく、困りましたので、なるべく最小限(チップぐらい)にするといいかもしれません。

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。
