A few things to be aware of before you book this excursion:
1) The road is very windy: consider ginger candy or Dramamine if you're prone to motion sickness.
2) Cell phone reception will be terrible.
3) It's very cold at an elevation of 10,000 feet. It was 40degrees for us. Dress warmly.
4) The air is also very thin at 10,000 feet: look out for shortness of breath and dizziness.
3) You may not see a picture perfect sunrise. No one can control the weather or even perfectly predict it. There will also be tons of other people there enjoying the view with you.
With all that in mind, we had a great time. At 3am, our driver picked us up and drop us off right in front of our condo in Kihei (pick up may not be available for your particular location - verify with PolyAd/GrayLine first if this is a dealbreaker for you). Stopped at a Kahului convenience store: buy snacks here if you don't like the pastries/coffee onboard.
Uneventful drive up. The 25-ish seater van/bus is heated, but once we arrived in the parking lot, our driver obviously had to turn off the engine/heat to conserve gas. We arrived 1 hour prior to sunrise, and in that 1 hour, the weather went from so clear and being able to see thousands of stars to sprinkling rain to so foggy I could barely see a few feet in front of me and back and forth. There is a tiny visitors center with giftshop, and restrooms (with ice cold water toilet seats), but not much else to explore. So we hung out on the bus until just a few minutes before sunrise.
The sunrise was partially obstructed by clouds, but the sky and landscape was still so beautiful. 30 minutes after sunrise, our driver drove us up a wee bit higher to the next parking lot for more photos, and then down to a golf course for breakfast. Breakfast was ok - I would have much rather saved my appetite for something else. We were dropped off at our condo at 11am.
We had a great driver and saw a beautiful sunrise from the top of a volcano. It was AWESOME.

It was a day of complete satisfaction! Swimming with sea turtles and manta rays was truly moving! I even got to see a whale jump unexpectedly! We had a full two hours of snorkeling, delicious breakfast and lunch, and even enjoyed some beer at the end—what a fantastic tour! Especially, our Japanese guide Kana was very kind and fun, taking lots of photos and giving us advice. I am truly grateful for all the care she provided! Thank you very much!!

I participated on November 19, 2017. Fortunately, there were only four of us: my husband and I, plus an older couple, along with our guide Yamapi's wife as an assistant, allowing for a more intimate experience. After being picked up at the hotel, we drove through the town of Lahaina, hearing about the delicious and not-so-good restaurants there. We made a stop at Krispy Kreme for a break and enjoyed some freshly made donuts.
After that, we bought sushi bento at a supermarket (both the donuts and the bento were included in the tour price), and we headed to our destination. At the Kula Lodge, we purchased souvenirs that can only be found there (though I wondered if they might also be sold at the airport or in Waikiki, the items we bought seemed truly unique). Along the way, we saw a volcanic crater and gradually acclimated to the altitude before reaching the summit.
The initial location we aimed for was very crowded, so we parked in a less populated area, watched the sunset, and after eating the bento we purchased in the car, we enjoyed stargazing. That night, there was almost no moonlight, resulting in a perfect starry sky! Even I, who usually have no interest in stars, was moved. Under the starry sky, I also heard about Yamapi's background. He has faced many struggles to get to where he is now, and since I came on this trip while dealing with significant stress at work, I secretly cried while listening to his story in the dark.
Five years ago, when I went to Mauna Kea on the Big Island, I struggled with the thin air, but this time, I had no issues at all. My first visit to Maui was amazing!!! It might be difficult to return, but I would love to participate again somehow. For those considering this tour, please prepare for the cold!
*By the way, although this tour does not stop there, I highly recommend Ruth's Chris Steak House in Lahaina! Our guide Yamapi also recommended it (there are several locations in Waikiki). Personally, I think it's better than Wolfgang Puck's.
2017/11/19に参加しました。
ラッキーなことに客は私達夫婦+年配のご夫婦の計4人、それにガイドのヤマピーさんの奥様がアシスタントで参加されて少人数で回ることができました。
ホテルでピックアップ後、ラハイナの街を車で通り、ラハイナのおいしいお店・まずいお店をお聞きしながら、休憩兼ねてクリスピークリームドーナツに立ち寄り、出来立てのおいしいドーナツをいただきました。
その後スーパーでお寿司のお弁当を購入し(ドーナツもお弁当もツアー代に含みます)、いよいよ目的地へ向かいます。
クラロッジでは、そこでしか買えないお土産を購入(実は空港やワイキキでも売ってたりして?と思ったけど私たちが買った物は本当にどこにもなさそうでした)、途中火口を見たり少しずつ高所に体を慣らしながら山頂に到着です。
当初向かった場所は大混雑だったため、人の少ない場所に車を止めて、サンセットを見て、車内で購入したお弁当を食べた後、星空観賞です。
その日は月明かりがほとんど無い日だったので、まさに満点の星空!
普段星になんか興味が無い私でも感動しました。
星空の下、ヤマピーさんの今までの経歴なんかもお聞かせいただきました。
とても苦労されて今がある方で、私も仕事で大きなストレスを抱えつつ今回の旅行に来たこともあり、真っ暗闇なのを良いことにこっそり泣きながら話に聞き入っていました。
5年前、ハワイ島のマウナケアに行った時は空気の薄さにヘロヘロでしたが、そんな私でも今回のツアーは全然平気でした。
初のマウイ島、最高でした!!!再訪するのは難しいですが、何とかもう一度参加したいです。
このツアーを検討中の方、防寒準備して行ってください!
※ちなみにこのツアーで立ち寄ることはありませんが、ラハイナのルースズクリスステーキは超オススメです!ガイドのヤマピーさんもオススメしてました(ワイキキにも何店舗かあります)。
個人的にはウルフギャングよりもおいしいと思います。

The boat they normally take you on was in dry dock, so we didn't get the glass bottom boat. Also the wind was too strong that day, so we didn't get to go to Molokini. ...Basically we didn't get either of the things that were advertised, but those were uncontrollable elements and not the fault of the business. They took us out north along the coast from Ma'alaea Harbor and stopped at two separate locations. We still saw some tropical fish and some coral, and the water was warm and wonderful. They grill up a delicious burger and hotdogs if you buy the option to eat lunch on the boat, which was only $8 extra per person if memory serves. The ladies on the boat were very friendly and learned everyone's names by heart. They helped with instructions on the flippers and scuba gear. A great time with really nice people. I would definitely do it again!! They advise going on the morning sail if you want a chance to get to Molokini. That's where the real beauty is!

We didn't get to either spots listed in the title of the tour due to weather. Maybe, in the future, they can offer a discounted 2nd trip so you can actually get to Molokini Crater. They don't offer that, so you get what you get. The "glass bottom" boat is also a deceiving description of this boat. Don't go based on this alone. The area we went was suitable for a relaxed first time snorkel. Lots of people, but my Mom still got first class treatment due to her fear of the new adventure. Heather ensured she felt comfortable in the gear and went into the water with her to get her comfortable to go off on her own! It was a very good experience, although I would not take a tour like it again. I would opt for something with less people on a smaller boat, for sure. If you choose to purchase the photos at the end, make sure you sought him out to actually take some pictures of you first or you will just have a lot of pictures of other people. The pics he took of my Mom are really good, although there are none of me while snorkeling. But, there were a LOT of people, so how could he possibly get pics of everyone.
All in all the boat was clean, the people were nice, and the snorkeling was really great! The food was pretty good, too.

Of course, the beautiful sunset and the breathtaking starry sky were also amazing. Weather can be a matter of luck, but I was fortunate to have clear skies and stunning views during my visit.

I searched for a Japanese tour, but it was already too late and everything was sold out! I reluctantly chose the English tour, but there was only one American couple besides me. The driver and guide was considerate and let me sit in the front seat. I had no time to relax as I was immersed in English. Since I am Japanese, I was really impressed by the slow and easy-to-understand English guide. He was an American who had moved from California 25 years ago. His English was clear. The couple was kind, and I didn't feel lonely at all. The scenery on the way to Hana through the rainforest was amazing. The guide let me taste bananas ripened on trees that can only be found there, and we stopped at a stall where I could enjoy pure coconut ice cream. In the end, instead of dropping me off at my hotel first (Kahului), he went out of his way to take me to Wailea, where the American couple was staying, to show me the sunset in Kihei, and then he even took me back to Kahului! It was a fantastic day with great people and a wonderful tour. It might have been a coincidence, but it was truly great. For someone familiar with the area, it might be a bit surprising. Thank you! ❤️
日本語ツアーを探しましたが、時既に遅しで全てsold out! 仕方なく英語ツアーを選んだのですが、私以外アメリカ人のカップル一組だけ。 ドライバー兼ガイドさんが気を遣ってくれて私を助手席に。 さすがに気を抜く暇もなく英語に浸っておりました。 私が日本人なので、とにかくゆっくり分かりやすい英語ガイドに感激。 彼はカリフォルニアから移住して25年のアメリカ人。 英語が分かりやすかったです。 カップルも優しく、寂しさを感じることなく過ごせました。 レインフォレストを抜けてハナに向かう道々も最高な景色でした。 ガイドさんがそこでしか味わえない木で熟れたバナナを食べさせてくれたり、ピュアなココナッツアイスを食べれる露店に寄ってくれたり。 最終的には私が最初にホテルに送ってくれるはずが(カフルイ)、キヘイの夕日を見せてくれるために、アメリカ人カップルがステイしているワイレアに行って、わざわざ最後に送ってくれたり(カフルイまで戻ってくれた!)。 ツアーも人も最高な一日でした。 たまたまかもしれませんが、本当に良かったです。 ここの土地勘が分かる人にはちょっとびっくりかも。 感謝♡

Our group consisted of four people: my spouse and I, along with another young couple, and the guide's wife participated as an assistant. The guide, likely with a wealth of experience, had everything meticulously planned and prepared, allowing us to enjoy a safe and pleasant time. We climbed to the summit at around 3,000 meters in about an hour and a half, making stops at souvenir shops and a supermarket to choose sushi bento for dinner (included in the price) to gradually acclimatize to the altitude.
On the day of the tour, we encountered light rain on the mountainside, but with the guide's skillful driving and cheerful explanations, we reached the summit, where we found a blue sky above the clouds. We avoided crowded tourist spots and enjoyed the sunset from a quieter location, savoring sushi bento along with warm Japanese tea. Afterward, we took turns looking through telescopes while the guide explained various stars and constellations.
Two years ago, we participated in a sunset tour at Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii, where the summit is at 4,000 meters and the air was quite thin, making it difficult to breathe. In comparison, Haleakalā was much more comfortable. Additionally, there is a discount for seniors, making this tour highly recommended for older travelers.
うちの夫婦と、もう1組の若いご夫婦の計4人の客に、ガイドの奥様がアシスタントで参加されました。ガイドさんはおそらく多くの経験を積まれているのでしょう、非常に周到に計画され準備されていて、安心して楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。3000メートル級の山頂まで1時間半ほどで登っていきますが、高度に徐々に慣れるように、土産物店に寄ったりスーパーで夕食の寿司弁当(料金に含まれています)選びに立ち寄ったりします。
当日は途中の山腹で弱雨にあいましたが、霧の中を巧みな運転で不安なく、軽快な口調の説明を聞きつつ登った山頂は、雲の上の青空でした。多くの観光客がいる場所を避けて、人が少ない場所からゆっくりとサンセットを楽しみ、暖かい日本茶のサービスとともに寿司弁当をいただいたのち、交替で望遠鏡をのぞきながら多くの星や星座を解説してもらいました。
私たちは2年前にハワイ島のマウナケアのサンセットにも参加し、マウナケアは4000メートル級で山頂の空気が薄くでかなり息苦しかったのですが、それに比べればハレアカラははるかに快適でした。また熟年者には割引料金のサービスもあり、高齢者に優しいツアーとしておすすめします。

For our honeymoon, we wanted to try the Haleakalā summit tour on Maui. We debated between the sunset + stargazing or sunrise, but since we wanted to get a good night's sleep and had a feeling that the sunset would be more beautiful, we chose that option.
The group size was just right, allowing us to see everyone's faces, and our guide was great at sharing stories, making the time pass without diminishing the excitement of the participants. It was also nice to receive recommendations on what to buy at the supermarkets and souvenir shops along the way.
The sunset was stunning, although I felt like the sun set a bit earlier than expected. Still, it was thoroughly enjoyable. However, the true highlight of the tour came afterward. In complete silence, when I looked up at the pitch-black sky for the first time, the awe I felt was indescribable. Surrounded by stars, we observed them through a telescope while receiving explanations about various constellations. It was quite cold at the summit, but they provided warm clothing, and I was so moved that I forgot about the chill, and time flew by.
I am grateful to our guide for their excellent storytelling and to have been blessed with good weather (it seems the participants from the previous day had a tough time due to poor weather).
On the way down from the summit, I fell asleep feeling a sense of satisfaction and emotion, wrapped in a relaxed mindset that life is too short to rush.
I think it would be wonderful to bring our parents next time. This was one of the few optional tours that left us very satisfied, and I highly recommend it for honeymoons (though it might be a bit tough with small children).
今回新婚旅行でマウイ島に行くにあたり、やってみたかったのがハレアカラ山頂ツアーでした。
サンセット+星空かサンライズで迷いましたが、夜はちゃんと寝たいし、なんとなくですがサンセットの方がきれいそうだなというくらいの気持ちで選びました。
参加人数も多すぎず、全体の顔も見渡せますしガイドさんのお話も上手で、車内でも参加者の楽しみな気持ちを減衰させることなく時間が過ぎていきました。
ところどころでよるスーパーやお土産屋さんでもどういったものがオススメかなど説明してもらえたのも良かったです。
サンセットもとてもきれいでしたが、少し日が落ちるのが早かったのかな?という印象ではありましたが十分堪能できました。
これだけでも比較的満足度は高かったのですが、このツアーの本領はこの後でした。
あたりは一切物音もしなくなり、完全に静まり返った中で初めて真っ暗闇の中空を見上げた時の感動は言葉では言い表すのが難しいほどのものでした。
あたり一面に広がる星に包まれ、いろんな星の説明を受けながら天体望遠鏡でその星を観察する。山頂はだいぶ寒かったですが、防寒具なども準備していただき、感動でそもそも寒さを忘れるほどであっという間に時間が過ぎていました。
終始上手にお話ししていだけたガイドさんへの感謝と、本当に天候にも恵まれ(前日参加の方々は天候に恵まれずつらいツアーとなったようです)た偶然に感謝感謝です。
山頂から降りる車の中は満足感と感動と、生き急いでも仕方ないよなというおおらかな気持ちに包まれながら寝てしまいました。
次は両家の両親を連れて行ってあげられたらすてきだなと思える、数少ないオプショナルツアーで非常に満足のいくものとなりました、新婚旅行などにオススメだと思います(小さい子連れだと少ししんどいかもしれません)。

We used this for our honeymoon trip.
As part of the basic tour, we had a snorkeling and snuba experience around Molokini Island.
Honestly, my impression was that there weren't many fish there.
After that, we moved to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and it was mentioned that snorkeling or snuba could be done for an additional fee.
At first, I was a bit disappointed because I thought the price included everything, but in the end, I was able to swim with two sea turtles, and there were also some lucky moments where we saw dolphins and whales from the boat, so it turned out to be a satisfying tour.
The tour instructors were generally cheerful people, so we had a great time.
新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
基本のツアーとしては、モロキニ島の周辺でのシュノーケル+スヌーバ体験。
ここでは正直そんなに魚はいないなというのが正直な感想でした。
その後で海亀の出るスポットに移動して、追加料金でシュノーケルorスヌーバができるということでした。
最初は全部込みでの値段だと思っていただけにがっかりする気持ちもありましたが、結果としては2匹の海亀と一緒に泳ぐこともできましたし、それ以外にも偶然的な要素はあったかと思いますがイルカやクジラも船の上からですが見ることができたので満足のいくツアーになりました。
基本的にツアーのインストラクターも陽気な人たちだったので、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

Fortunately, the weather was good, and the sunrise from the summit of Haleakalā was wonderful. The breathtaking view of the sky from an elevation of 3,000 meters after the sun had fully risen was grand and mystical.
However, there were some disappointing aspects of the tour. 1) The pickup at the hotel (Westin Resort) was scheduled for 2:45 AM, but the bus arrived close to 3:30 AM. I called the emergency contact, but no one answered, and I was left waiting with another American couple. After the bus arrived, the driver and guide did not offer any apology, which I found frustrating. 2) When we finally boarded the late bus, it was almost over capacity. My wife and I were seated separately, and I was next to a 3L-sized American, making the interior extremely cramped. I sincerely hope for improvements for those who participate in this tour in the future.
幸い天候も良く、ハレアカラ山頂からのサンライズは素晴らしかったです。太陽が完全に昇りきった後の天空を標高3000mから眺める絶景は壮大で神秘的でした。
ツアー全体として残念だった事はあります。①午前2:45にホテル(Westin Resort)へピックアップでしたが、バス到着は午前3:30近く。緊急連絡先に電話するも誰も出ず、別のアメリカ人カップルと待ちぼうけ。バス到着後、運転手兼ガイドから詫びの一言もなく、コンプレインした次第。②ようやく遅れて来たバスに乗り込むと、ほぼ定員オーバー状態。妻と二人でしたが、席はバラバラとなり、横には3Lサイズのアメリカ人が座っていた為、車内は大変窮屈極まりなかったです。今後本ツアーへ参加される方々の為に、改善を切に要望します。

I participated in the tour with my 0-year-old and 6-year-old, and while I had some concerns, we drove to the dock with a rental car.
The meeting place was easy to find, and there was a very friendly and approachable Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease when boarding the boat. We brought a stroller, and the staff helped us out, even carrying my child while I was snorkeling, which was very kind and made me happy☆
My 6-year-old had plenty of snorkeling experience, but it was their first time snorkeling in deep water, and they were quite scared. However, they were super excited and enjoyed themselves at the second turtle spot.
The boat also had a slide, and both my husband and 6-year-old were really pumped about it.
I wasn't expecting much from lunch, but the burgers were really delicious. After snorkeling, there was unlimited alcohol! As a heavy drinker, I was quite pleased with this!!
I highly recommend this for both adults and families!

We visited Maui for the first time with our family this time. I found out about this tour while looking for a luau show along the coast.
It was very close, just a 10-minute drive from our hotel in Kaanapali, and although the parking lot was small, it was convenient as we could easily find parking nearby.
Even before the show started, we enjoyed the atmosphere with unlimited drinks and poke dishes. The show seemed a bit subdued since the stage was a little far away, but I think it would have been more exciting with a fire dance. Overall, I highly recommend it!

It was truly a wonderful starry sky. I thought it would be cloudy on the day I participated, but above the clouds, it was clear, and I could see the Milky Way and shooting stars clearly. The Earth shadow appeared after sunset, and seeing the shadow of the Earth felt like a cleansing experience for my heart. While watching the stars and listening to the guide's stories, I was moved to tears. I heard it would be cold, so I layered up with sweatshirts and down jackets, which kept me warm enough to enjoy the night sky. Before heading to the mountains, we stopped by a supermarket and a souvenir shop, and the supermarket had good prices!

As November is approaching, it was a bit chilly, but the water clarity was beautiful, allowing us to see all the way to the bottom! However, it gets cold when you come out, so you'll need dry clothes. There were Japanese staff members who kindly checked on us multiple times to see if we were okay and even took photos for us. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles, but we had a wonderful experience snorkeling for the first time.

日本人のスタッフもいて、酔っていないか何度も声を掛けてくれたり写真のシャッターを押してくれたりと本当に親切でした。
残念ながら、私たちは海ガメに出会えませんでしたが、初めてのシュノーケリング素敵な経験ができました。

Our guide, I believe his name is Roger, was helpful and informative. He made it enjoyable and a very memorable experience. Told us about the different islands and other facts about the sea life. We saw several sea turtles and other colorful fish.

We went on this cruise as it was our anniversary, and we weren't disappointed in the least. Great food, drinks and the staff were really nice. Met quite a few people, and the sunset was awesome. Would definitely do this again.

Haleakalā had bad weather, so we couldn't see the sunset. However, I thought it was impressive how the guide skillfully found a spot for stargazing by slightly changing locations. The tour progressed smoothly, and I felt the guide was very capable. I'll try again next time for a revenge trip.
ハレアカラは天気が悪くサンセットは見れませんでした。
しかし、微妙に場所を変えて星空観測する場所を臨機応変に見つけるあたりプロだなと思いました。ツアーの進行もストレスなく力量のあるガイドさんだなと感じました。
また今度リベンジします。

The tour content was changed, and it ended up being a tour that only visited Haleakalā National Park. If that was the case, I would have preferred not to have the tour at all. Alternatively, I would have appreciated a change in destination to include visits to other places or some consideration like a discount or an earlier return. It was disappointing that there was no consideration for only visiting one location.
ツアー内容が変更されて、ハレカエラ国立公園だけに訪れたツアーであった。それで有れば、ツアーを結構しないで欲しかった。或いは、行き先を変更してでも、他の場所の訪問や見学を入れる。ディスカウントする。早く帰って来る。とかの配慮が欲しかった。一ヶ所しか行かないなら、それに対する配慮も無く、残念でした。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
Upon confirming the situation with the local operating company on the day of the tour, it appears that, as stated on our activity page, the Iao Valley was closed, and instead, you were guided to the Kula Marketplace. We are very sorry that the tour you were looking forward to did not meet your expectations. Additionally, we deeply apologize for the insufficient explanation regarding the schedule change from the guide on the day.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認させていただきましたところ、弊社アクティビティページに記載がございました通り、
イアオ渓谷が閉鎖されておりましたため、代わりにクラ マーケットプレイスにご案内させていただいていたようです。

Thank you very much for joining our tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
Upon confirming the situation with the local operating company, it was found that, as you mentioned, we arrived late at your pickup location. The bus was significantly delayed because we had to wait for you at several hotels we stopped by before picking you up. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused during your trip. To ensure that customers are not kept waiting for long in the future, I have requested the operating company to improve their operations for smoother transfers.
I understand that there were more passengers than the capacity, but I hope you can understand that the 25-seat bus was full that day.
We take your feedback seriously and will strive for further service improvement, including pre-tour meetings. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.
