Unforgettable Experience
Reviewed by: L. Moyer, 2023/08/05The views were spectacular. Our tour guide was exceptional and knowledgeable. He thought of everything (e.g., hot tea, donuts, coats, gloves). He was patient with my teens and ensured all were comfortable and warm. We saw a lot of shooting stars in addition to Venus and several constellations. Pick up and drop off from the cruise ship were convenient. This was a once in a lifetime experience.

AmAzInG!!!
Reviewed by: Jennifer H, 2023/08/04This tour was amazing in every way!!! One of our family's favorite tours of all time!! Yoshi was an excellent driver on a rather scary road! Super safe and comfortable ride! Once we were at the top, he did the BEST job of making it a once in a lifetime experience for us. Shared lots of great information, pointed out just where to look at the perfect times. Had chairs, blankets, donuts, hot drinks, coats, you name it...he had it! Took the coolest pictures of our family during the sunset, overlooking the crater, and under the stars! The stargazing was amazing and he was especially great with our youngest as he had a step stool so she could look in the telescope easily and he took extra time with her to be sure she saw all the stars and the moon! If you do one adventure on Maui be sure it is this!!

Incredible experience!
Reviewed by: Taryn , 2023/08/04Yoshi provides such an amazing tour and has every detail down to make sure you have the most amazing and comfortable experience. The trek up Haleakala was amazing slowly climbing above the clouds. The views were indescribable and the sunset views are going to be tough to match. The stargazing was a whole other experience that you just have to try for yourself. So grateful to have had this experience and so glad we chose Maui All Stars Stargazing!

What a night!
Reviewed by: Amber Poynter, 2023/07/20My husband and I booked the stargazing tour with Yoshi, and it exceeded our expectations. We live in a place with so much light pollution, we never see more than a handful of stars. We've wanted to see the "dark sky" for a long time. It was just breathtaking. There really are no words and pictures can not do the experience justice. Our guide was super friendly and accommodating. During the drive, stops, and sunset/stargazing he was very informative. This is the tour to choose on your next trip! Ask for Yoshi specifically.

My kids RAVED
Reviewed by: Awesome Excursion, 2023/07/10I and one of my sons were not able to go due to illness but my other kids went and loved the experience - they can't wait to do this again. They are very academically inclined and found him to be incredibly knowledgable and engaging. They could not stop talking about how much fun and informative the trip was. He also provided them with blankets, jackets, tea and coffee. He took beautiful pictures and showed them how to take photos as well.

Once in a lifetime experience
Reviewed by: Ketan and Poonam, 2023/07/04This experience is a MUST if you are staying in Maui!
You will not get to do this anywhere else! And book with Yoshi, he made this experience wonderful from start to end.
We were picked up on time, and did stops to pick up sandwich on route.
Yoshi took us to the summit and then found a nice quiet place for us to see the most beautiful sunset and then the night sky full of stars! It was truly spectacular!
Yoshi was so informative and the views of the Milky Way and craters on the moon from the telescope were amazing!
It’s very cold up at the summit so pack hat, gloves and warm clothes if you are doing this experience.
Yoshi bought coats and gloves for us! And some yummy Krispy Kreme donuts
Thank you again Yoshi for this incredible experience that me and my husband will always remember! It made are trip Hawaii even more special.

Unique experience for family
Reviewed by: Patricia from CT, 2023/07/04We enjoyed a stunning and wonderful sunset at top of Haleakala followed by stargazing. Although the full moon made the night sky too bright and made stargazing a bit difficult, Yoshi still worked hard to review the full moon with his telescope and to show/explain to us the visible stars to ensure we had a memorable time with our family. We had a wonderful time together.

Unforgettable experience!
Reviewed by: Jennifer , 2023/06/24The overall experience was amazing and unforgettable! We got to view the gorgeous sunset and sky studded with millions of stars. Our guide Yoshi provided warm coat and gloves, and we were able to enjoy the whole experience in warmth and comfort. Yoshi setup his powerful telescopes and gave us glimpse of moon's surface, and stars that are light years away. The experience exceeded our expectations, and would recommend for anyone visiting Maui.

Incredible experience!
Reviewed by: McGovern family , 2023/06/14Our family of 4 had an amazing time watching the sunset and stargazing with Yoshi! It’s a very special experience that we all enjoyed and won’t soon forget. Yoshi did a great job of making sure everyone was comfortable and adapting to the high altitudes well. He showed us many stars and constellations and provided a lot of details about the island and vegetation. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Wonderful guide, 100% recommend over other Haleakala experiences
Reviewed by: Kristin, 2023/05/24Yoshi is an excellent, enthusiastic guide who takes great pictures! He provided a lot of neat information about Maui and Haleakala along with extensive knowledge about the stars. You are picked up from fairly accessible locations, and I'm glad to pay for someone experienced in driving the roads, which can get narrow and quite close to cliff edges. Three stops along the way before the peak to get accustomed to the gradual climb in altitude. The actual crater couldn't be seen due to clouds, but Haleakala was still quite beautiful to see. I chose the sunset tour because I didn't want to get up that early for sunrise, and I'm glad I did! I was well rested and the sunset was beautiful. Yoshi provided comfortable camp chairs, warm coats, gloves, and hot tea as we waited for the sunset. You need to bring your own dinner, so don't forget to pack it! It was great, super peaceful, quiet, and comfy! Once night fell, Yoshi brought out some high-tech telescopes and pointed out constellations. I got to see Mars! It was a very clear night and amazing to see all the stars filling the sky. Informative and quite the experience. Afterwards, he drove us back. I really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend!

Yoshi was outstanding!
Reviewed by: Aaron Krueger, 2023/05/08We absolutely loved our stargazing adventure with Yoshi! He thought of everything, including taking us to a private spot, blankets, hot beverages, chairs, as well as a wealth of knowledge and some incredible telescopes and binoculars. We were fortunate enough to have a tour with just the four of us on the day of our trip and we enjoyed every minute of it. Not only was Yoshi, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable but he also drove incredibly safely and stopped plenty of times for bathrooms and was just an all-around pleasure. We would certainly recommend Yoshi to anyone looking to have an excellent stargazing experience on Maui.

An absolute must when visiting Maui
Reviewed by: Ian Armstrong, 2023/05/03We cannot speak glowingly enough about the stargazing tour experience with Yoshi. He was such a knowledgeable and considerate guide. He had everything we could possibly need to be comfortable on top of the mountain, and it is so much more enjoyable making that trip as a passenger than as a driver. We cannot recommend the experience enough!

It’s really much more than a great sunset
Reviewed by: Brian, 2023/04/19This was an amazing experience in every step. Our guide, Yoshi, was super nice and cared for each one of us making sure that we felt comfortable and safe on each part of the trip. He taught us a lot about the stars, NASA and the culture of the Island while showing us amazing landscapes and taking incredible pictures of us. He provided blankets and hot tea/coffee to stay warm. Words can’t fully describe this experience. We totally recommend it!

Amazing Evening Thanks to Yoshi
Reviewed by: AstroFamily, 2023/04/17Yoshi was the most gracious, considerate and knowledgeable guide. He gave our family a lasting memory. With the little kind touches of treats and hot drinks and warm blankets, he made a magnificent experience even more enjoyable.
Haleakala is breathtaking! His knowledge of Astronomy and his desire to make our experience unforgettable from beginning to end was the highlight of our visit to Hawaii.
The quiet view of the most memorable sunset we have ever seen and the majestic night sky to wrap up the evening will be treasured forever.
His kind, gentle spirit and true love of Haleakala was more than a tour, it was an experience we shared with him.

Amazing tour despite weather conditions
Reviewed by: Rickard Dybeck , 2023/02/04My girlfriend and I got to enjoy a private tour by Yoshi up Haleakalā, and I’ve rarely encountered a tour guide with such love for his profession and adopted home. Unfortunately it was very cloudy so we couldn’t see the stars, but Yoshi took us to a great pizza place and we chatted for several hours and learned so much about Japan and Maui. We will be back next time we’re in Maui and we will make sure it’s during the summer months for better weather conditions. I would strongly recommend taking a tour with him (and when given the option go for ice cream), as he will work so hard to ensure you have the greatest time.
Also don’t be too worried about it being cold, it was around 45F when we were there, and at least for me I was fine in a t-shirt.

The most magical experience!
Reviewed by: Mala, 2023/01/23This was the most special experience of my life and I will remember it forever. Yoshi is the kindest and most knowledgeable person, the ride up the mountain was so smooth, the sunset was absolutely breathtaking, and seeing and learning about stars and planets really felt like dreaming. I truly believe it was the best day of my life.

Great Experience
Reviewed by: Mrs. Mertens , 2022/11/03I 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!!
