検温やマスク着用は無かったです。私達のコンドミニアムピックアップの場所の都合だとは思いますが、クリスピークリームドーナツには私達は立ち寄らなかったです。満席状態で、日本人だけではなく、他国の人のグループと一緒でした。日本語と英語のガイドでした。やまぴーさんは細かいところまでよく気を配って下さります。
スーパーに立ち寄り、夕食を買う時も細かくアドバイス、アテンドしてくださいました。
週5でハレアカラに来られているそうで、この地を知り尽くしているベテランのガイドさんだと感じました。写真の撮り方もプロ並みです。

当日は数少ない雨で、登頂中は雲の中を走っているような状態。しかしリアルタイムの気象情報と山さんの経験で少し待てば晴れ間が出ると判断して一時待機。本当に晴れ間が出てきて、見事星空を満喫できました!条件が悪くても最大限機転を利かせて対応して下さる経験と対応はさすがです。

初めていったマウイで何か貴重な体験を、と思い申し込みました。
ホテル送迎で、片道2時間のドライブも山ピーさんの楽しいトークで楽しく過ごせました。途中おいしいローカルフードも買えて、山頂での夕食を堪能しました。
山頂では壮大なクレーター、360度の眺望、雲海に沈む夕日が幻想的で、日頃の些細な悩みなど吹っ飛ぶ経験が出来ました。落日後の星空がまた最高で、天の川その他もろもろの星たちを静かに眺めることができ、遠い子供のころ観た記憶も蘇る貴重な体験でした。山ピーさんが、GPS天体望遠鏡で次々と有名な恒星群や惑星を見せてくれたことにも感謝です。
とにかく必見のツアーであることは間違いないです。

死ぬまでにやりたい10の事。のリストに入ってる!
ハレアカラの星空を観たい。コロナ禍で3年振りのハワイ。そして初めてのマウイ島。真っ先に星空ツアーを申し込んだ。当日ホテル3:30にピックアップ。2名の若い日本人カップルと私たちシニア女性2人組。ガイドの山Pさんが喋る喋る!私もつられて喋る(笑笑)クリスピークリームでドーナツを買い。フードランドでポケを買い。いざハレアカラへ!ビジターセンターでトイレ休憩。高地に身体を慣らしながら頂上へ。頂上に着いた途端猛吹雪。
『大丈夫ですよ!第五ポイントまで確保してありますから必ずお見せします』自信満々の山Pさん。
1m先も見えない吹雪の中下山開始。3055mから真っ暗(真っ白?)な山道を我が庭のように走り出す。なんと‼︎!第二ポイントで雲と同じ高さからのサンセットが見える‼︎感動。そしてまた雨が降り出し、移動開始。もしかしたら山Pさんは雲を見ながら移動してたのかな?第三ポイントで素早くイスや望遠鏡やもろもろ用意して、、、、、
『いいって言うまで絶対空見ないでくださいよ』
なんて言われて、ドキドキ期待が高まる!防寒着を貸してもらい万全の体制でいざ‼︎
うわー!泣ける!吹雪だったのに!豪雨だったのに!今も強風で飛ばされそうだけど!
ぐるり360度満点の星空です。ベテランガイドの成せる技ですね!本当に参加して良かったです。何度行ってもきっと感動するでしょう。必ずまたあの星空を観に戻ると思います!山Pさんに漬け物のお土産を届けにもう一度ハレアカラへ!

I chose this excursion to surprise my Husband on out Honeymoon and we had the best time. Yoshi was kind, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. I was even able to tell him that this was a surprise for my husband and he had no idea what we were doing and Yoshi helped me keep that secret till we were at the top of the summit. Yoshi picked us up at the Lahaina Mall and made many fun stops on our way to the top of Haleakala. First was Krispy Creme where he picked us up donuts, next we stopped at Foodland so we could all get some food for sunset and the final stop was Kula Lodge located on the volcano. We then reached the summit to watch the sunset. Yoshi was so kind and took many pictures of my Husband and I. He had blankets, coats, and gloves for us as it is quite chilly at the top. We were then able to sit in his warm van and enjoy the food we had bought at Foodland and Yoshi offered us coffee that he brought. Then the fun part started, Yoshi has very high quality telescopes. We went when there was a full moon and we were able to see the moon in very high detail as well as Saturn and Jupiter and few constellations. We will definitely be coming back when we visit Maui again and we cant wait!!

The Haleakala National Park possesses a unique landscape and a variety of species only found there.
All the stops we made on our way up were worth it, however, our guide told us that the restaurant and visitor's center were not operating because of a lack of personnel, so it'd be nicer to have these options available.
According to the description of the tour, we were supposed to get back to our pick-up place/hotel after 10 pm but we got back at 8:30 pm. I was expecting to do some stargazing up there in the mountain but there was no time, our guide asked us to be back n the van at 6:45 pm...so this is was I liked the least!!
Other than that, our guide was very polite and helpful, and he gave us a lot of information about the places we were visiting.

He is very kind and thoughtful and definitely knows all about the national park and the island itself along with all the stars and planets he shows you through his telescope. The views of the sky through the telescope were awesome. Definitely an experience we will never forget! A must do when visiting Maui.

24年ぶりのマウイ。前回はレンタカーでハレアカラ山頂へ登りましたが、今回は満天の星空を見たく、ツアーに参加しました。15時ホテルピックアップ。私たちを含めて5名をカリスマガイドのヤマピーさんが案内してくれました。
途中、クリスピードーナツ(ツアー代金に含まれています)とフードランドで賞を取ったこともあるポキを購入し、山頂へ!(高山病予防のために休憩をとりながらです)
山頂では夕陽を見てから、先程買ったポキを食べてゆっくりした後、いよいよ星空観賞。これはもう言葉には出来ません。天の川もクッキリと見え、満天の星空です。流れ星も見ることができました。
夕陽と星空のスマホでの撮影教室、山頂での演出すべてが大満足のツアーでしたが、それもすべてガイドのヤマピーさんの素晴らしい人柄のなせる技だと感じました。
ヤマピーさんがサザンオールスターズの元マネージャーというのが、デビュー当時からのサザンファンである私にとっては一番びっくりでしたが…笑
次回は子供達にも見せてやりたいので家族全員で参加します。ヤマピーさんと再会するのが今から楽しみです。
ヤマピーさん本当にありがとうございました!

There’s always a chance when scheduling a tour that the weather will not cooperate. Our trip was that time for the sunset at Haleakala. That was a little disappointing, but Yoshikazu more than made up for it with the stargazing. He is so knowledgeable of the stars and has a great telescope. Because it was a new moon night, we were even able to see the rings around Saturn! There were 7 of us on this tour, so he was more than willing to help with pictures for everyone. We were worried about how cold it gets up on top, but winter coats and lap blankets were included. We really enjoyed this trip!

This was an amazing experience.
Yes you can drive to the top of the mountain with your own car and view the sunset and save yourself the money ( you still have to pay admission fee). But this tour is not just about the sunset.
Its about seeing the stars mostly.
Yoshi has two freaking telescopes. Not just one. 1 worth around 3k i believe and the other for sure more than 10k.
Also we saw some other tours going up tthe mountain and a lot of cars and it gets really packed at the 10k feet. Yoshi has his secret location thats what he calls it, where actually not a lot of people go there and its at 9k feet. So hw drives up to the 10k feet to see the sunset, and if its packed he goes down the 9k feet. But for the stars is definetely at the 9k feet and its amazing for both. Not a lot of people, there is silence and you can enjoy both experiences.
Also the other tours are just for the sunset most probably. We definetely dis t see anyone else with a telescope. So yeah this experience is unique.
We were able to view multiple stars and he explained everything about the stars, we were able to view the ISS station when it passed through, we were able to see Saturn very closely and yes its like the pictures. You can see the ring around it.
We also saw Jupiter and 4 moons of jupiter and the moon and the craters on tbe moon. All these you cant see with the naked eye.
He provided jackets, chairs, blankets as it gets cold up there, some krispy kreme donughts, hot tea, coffee, and water as well.
So yeah if you just wanna see the sunset you can do it on your own if you wanna save money . But the real experience which is something unique that you cant see abywhere else is the star gazing and you get the sunset as a bonus.
So yeah recommended. And go with this tour because of the telescope.
Aloha,
Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate the kind words. We try our best to make the tour unique and exciting, so every customer walks away with a new appreciation of Maui, but also the Cosmos. We are delighted that you had a memorable trip and that's our goal for each and every tour. Please come again and mention that you're a return customer.

The view of the sunset from the top of Haleakalā volcano leaves anyone speechless and looking at the stars surrounded by the complete dark and the complete silence is astonishing. Yoshi is the perfect guide: he knows everything about Maui and he is an amazing guest. He bought us donuts, he gave us hot tea and sweets, and he had coats and gloves to face the cold.
