Wonderful experience of Haleakala mountain expedition includes watching beautiful sunset from a secret location away from the crowd followed by sky full of stars, using 2 different telescopes to see different constellations, stars, Jupiter and its moons, andromeda and our moon from close and in HD, as well taking variety of pictures using our phone.
The tour guide Yoshi is a passionate stargazing enthusiast and also a great photographer. He guided us through the crater for various photo locations and spots, and will took us to the secret spot away from the crowd to watch beautiful sunset and he also became our photographer and clicked perfect pictures on each spot, so we didn’t need to worry about taking selfies. He also showed us some tricks for clicking beautiful pictures of stars in the dark.
I highly recommend this Haleakala sunset and stargazing tour with Yoshi to everyone that loves stargazing and also interested in watching sunset from the top of Haleakala mountain above clouds at 10k+ elevation from sea level.
Yoshi picked us up from our hotel in West Maui in the afternoon and another couple who was visiting from Japan from their hotel, then we all picked some dinner from a nearby marketplace and started with our journey to Haleakala mountain top. Yoshi had also bought us donuts from Crispy Creme and also provided us with winter coats, blankets and hot tea to prevent from cold winds atop the mountain. Thanks Yoshi for this wonderful experience. Arigato and Mahalo!

It was perfect from the start.
Yoshi picked up Krispie Cream donuts for us. Taken up the mountain, stopped at different levels due to altitude adjustment.
Once there, chairs were put out, warm jackets given and sat down for Tea as we watched the sunset above the clouds. Beautiful rainbows everywhere.
Once it got dark, Yoshi took out a massive telescope. We were able to see Saturn and Jupiter very clearly and it was Amazing! then Yoshi pointed out the Milky Way and many constellations.
It was a long day but worth every dollar and second.
Please don't miss it.

Very much a book cruise. Scenery was beautiful and staff were super friendly, but no information on whales other than that is was whale season. being on the boat was wonderful and can't beat the view and we did see whales, but I wish I hadn't had the mai tai as too strong for me. Bus was fun!

This is absolutely the best tour we ever had! It was cloudy before we ascend the Mt. Haleakala, but the mountain peak was above the cloud and we could watch the beautiful sunset. We even saw the shade of the Earth on the right side of the horizon after the sunset. Gorgeous!
Then the guide set up two telescopes for stargazing. We were the only group at the overlook area a bit away from the peak, it was a beautiful starry night just like a natural planetarium.
He offered us a hot drink and doughnuts, that was nice. We had a great time looking constellations, Andromeda and other nebulae, Jupiter with its stripes and four satellites and so on, very educational. I recommend this tour for anyone.

We had the best time whale watching! Captain Paul, and Micah are wonderful!! Captain Paul, piloted us towards multiple whale pods, he and Micah pointed out the whales, showing us the females, calves, and escort male whales. We were given great information regarding their travels, rituals, and behaviors. It was truly an awesome experience!l We can’t wait to do it again!
They treated us with so much aloha spirit that they are the only ones we would want to go out with again!!

This tour was amazing. We went in February during peak whale watching season and saw so many more whales than we were expecting. There were almost no breaks in whale sightings during the two hour experience. The entire crew was fun and professional, especially Taylor who spoke almost the entire time to point out whale sightings, give us fun facts and information about whales, and discuss the importance of conservation. We rented binoculars in the store, which I would recommend to enhance the experience. The views were also incredible of Maui and surrounding islands.

This day trip to Lanai’i was an experience my wife and I will never forget! Captain Joe and his crew are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and attentive! On the way we were able to spot a manta ray just as we left the dock and several whales on the way to Lanai’i where we got off the boat and snorkeled. We were also served a delicious lunch! Check out the photos the photographer takes too. She is awesome!
We’d like to send a special shout-out to Coby aka “Utah” who wins the Kindest Crew-member award for ensuring I was safe and still able to participate so my wife could fully enjoy snorkeling! We can’t tell you how much that meant to us, thanks again!

My hubby and I wanted a more intimate luau experience…something more like a real family luau! We found it! Although there was no emu ceremony, we were immediately seated and our drink orders taken. Then we were invited to a lovely buffet without having to wait…delicious mahi, chicken and the most delicious pork I have ever had at ANY luau! Decadent desserts too - yum! After dinner, we experienced a one hour Hawaiian luau show. The dancers were extremely skilled and their performances very entertaining. The fire knife dancer was excellent and never dropped a fire stick. Music, songs, dancing and continued drink service during a lovely sunset and a twinkle-lit venue.
We loved the experience and enjoyed it immensely….fabulous food, positive personalities, delightful dancers, melodious music - the perfect evening at a more affordable price! We’ll be back with more family!

The snorkeling was very crowded. Can’t count the number of times I got hit in the head with one of their little glass bottom floating devises. Had to quit early because the waves were getting to big. Not their fault I know. The food wasn’t good and some of my family members had moldy buns. Did get to see some whales and turtles.
Aloha,
Thank for your choosing the Four Winds.
I'm sorry you felt the snorkeling location was crowded; Christmas time is the busiest time of the year on Maui, as I'm sure you could tell by the plane ride over.
Our hot BBQ lunch is a staple on our vessel, I am so sorry to hear that this wasn't the case for you and your family. I will be sure to pass your comment on to our management team.
Aloha,

If you want to see the rings of Saturn and Jupiter and craters of the moon then this tour is a must! Yoshi had everything taken care of for us. He had warm jackets, gloves, blankets, chairs, and a GPS computerized telescope. He was pleasant, kind, and knowledgeable. He even bought us donuts and made us hot tea! This tour was AMAZING! In our group of 4, it was a unanimous vote for the best tour of our whole vacation. We all enjoyed the beautiful sunset from a private location. Then, Yoshi brought out his personal telescope and showed us some stars, planets and the moon up close and personal. We had never seen anything like it before. We gave this tour 5 stars.

先ずは、満点の満天プラネタリウム。ハレアカラ山頂までの道程は、日の出&ダウンヒルに備え仮眠、なんてことはもったいない!ハイテンションのガイド兼ドライバーの話も大切ですが、窓越しの夜空は、宝石箱をひっくり返した星、星、星、時に流れ星!北斗七星、カシオペア、オリオン!オリオンのお腹にこんなに星があるの、と感動!
次に、御来光。心洗われます!雲海が漂うなか、燦々とSUNRISE、ベクトル一致でしょうね。日の出待ちのすべての人が待ちわびた御来光に感動してた瞬間です。北風と太陽じゃないけど、極寒に耐えた後、心身共にホットになります。で、極寒対策ですが、決して肌の露出をされないように!目の周り以外は、ソックス、レッグウォーマー、手袋、マスクと完全防備をオススメします。
最後に、ダウンヒル。私はジェットコースター♪走り出したら止まらないよ♪爽快なサイクリングです。壮大な景観を眺めながら、もちろん安全運転は言うまでもありませんが、ペダルは必要?って感じで、知らず知らずのうちにマウイの風になってます。
ここまでコメントして、星5つでなく、星4つにした理由は以下です。ダウンヒルが、まさしくジェットコースターなんです。僅か10分かな、あっという間なんでよね、ここが少し残念。説明にある昼食後のサイクリングも無かったのが物足りないです。今回、同じコースを2本繰り返したこともありますが、同じジェットコースター2回より、ジェットコースターとバイキング的な異なるアトラクションを望んでしまうので、昼食後のペダルを漕いでも良いので、街並みのサイクリングタイムが欲しかったですね~。

We would definitely do this again! We were picked up at our hotel. The tour guide showed us many places on the way, and was very knowledgeable, as well as entertaining.
When we were on the top of Haleakala, he took us all over the national park, then to a private spot to experience the sunset above the clouds.
Then he had his telescopes set up for us to view all sorts of stars, constellations and planets. He used a laser pointer to point out everything so we knew exectly what we were looking at. I was most impressed when he showed us Jupiter and Saturn - they were exquisite!
Three cheers for tour guide Yoshikazu Yamauchi - he is the best!

The early morning ferry was a smooth ride to the island. We were met by our guide, Russ, for the half day tour and along with another couple made our way into town to pick up a light breakfast at the local coffee spot. We stopped at Garden of the Gods which is like being on a whole different planet. The views were outstanding! The red dirt road out the GoG is rough and we were glad to have someone who was familiar with the area driving. We went on to see Shipwreck Beach. Again the dirt roads out to the beach were rough and even the Jeep tours from the Four Seasons were going at a snails pace while we manuvered our way around then. We parked in an area just shy of Shipwreck Beach where our guide's family had once had land, where some of the buildings still stand and walked the quiet beach strewn with old lava flows and had a good view of the wreck. Russ showed us how to tell if a coconut washed up on the beach was still good or waterlogged and even opened one up for us...it was a little old but still delicious. The drive through town was short and sweet...there's not a lot of town to see...and he dropped us off to explore the area. We, unfortunately didn't make it up to the Cat Sanctuary but we did hire a shuttle (he called and made the arrangements for pick up, $10/person) and went to Hulopoe Beach for the rest of the day. While at the beach I recommend following the beach to the east and checking out the many tidepools then walk just a short distance to see Sweetheart Rock. The walk back to the harbor is only about 10-15 minutes but get there early to get a good seat on the top deck. The ferry ride back was a little rougher compared to the morning. It was a great day and Lana'i, at least to me, is a must do because of the super chill vibe and aloha compared to any of the other islands.
