The view was amazing and it will stay with me forever. I was definitely bundled up and ready for the cold, so please do not underestimate your need to wear VERY warm clothing. It is 100% worth the early pick-up time. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks to everybody for permitting me to feel part of the great game of life.
Waiting for the sun up on the mistic Halekala was one of the biggest emotions of my life. As the sun rose, the colors changed and a native Hawaiians sung a traditional chant that still sounds in my soul.

This tour was the last thing I did in Hawaii, but certainly the most beautiful and the most intense. It was born in my head as a different way to get to the airport and it proved rather to be the cherry on top! I met at dawn my personal guide, Jasmine Kilborn, a magnificent Hawaiian girl who transmitted to me all her love for the island of Maui, for the history of Hawaii, for their traditions. We visited amazing places and we breathed the magic of nature in its more authentic splendor: old Lahaina, Nakalele Blowhole, Makamakaole Stream and Waterfalls.... The road itself was worth the travel and during the trip Jasmine told me about religion, Hawaiian language, Hawaiian habits and she put traditional music and songs to accompany the emotions that we lived. I felt a real sense of accomplishment! MAHALO NUI LOA!

Took all day but fantastic trip!! Last time we drove and only made it halfway. I highly recommend the tour. You're limited on the number of stops you make, but the tour hit the highlights; and my husband enjoyed the tour so much better than driving. "Z" was our driver and he was fantastic. I told him he was the best tour guide I had ever seen - so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He added much more information (history, plant life, etc.) than a typical guide. We took the luxuary tour with only 5 other passengers - much prefer this than a larger bus. Full breakfast in Paia and great lunch in Hana included.

ツアー参加者は10人。
ガイドさんは、以前ホノルルで結婚式のプランナーをやっていたというリックさん。
軽快なトークと細やかな気遣いができる方でした。
代表の方のガイドを期待していたけど、日本へ出張されているとの事で代わりでした。
参加者は途中のクリスピークリームドーナッツで合流。ドーナッツ1個と飲み物のサービス。
ドーナッツはオリジナルと日本にはないフレーバーの2種類。ガイドさんが適当において行く。オリジナルは日本でも食べられるから好みを聞いて注文してくれればよいのにと思いました。
途中、高山病を防ぐ為にお土産屋さんやトイレ休憩をはさみ、山頂へ。
きれいなサンセットを観れました。写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。人生観変わるようなそんな景色に感動。大地・宇宙の雄大さを感じ、その中にいる小さな自分。がんばろう、と勇気をもらいました。
車中で日本食のお弁当。まぁまぁおいしい。温かいお茶もうれしいサービス。
次は星がよく見えるポイントへ移動。椅子や望遠鏡の準備が整ったら防寒の準備をしていざ、外へ。
こんなにも星ってあったんですね、と感動。北極星が下の方にあり、北半球でも赤道に近くマウイに来ているんだと改めて実感。北斗七星もきれいに柄杓が観れました。小学校で使った星図版を持って説明と聞けば良く理解出来ただろうな〜と。リックさんもきちんと説明してくれました。金星もよ〜く観れてまたまた感動。
でも外は寒い寒い・・・。防寒は貸してくれるけど自分でも持って行った方がよいかも。特に温かい帽子と手袋。ヒートテックもあればなおさらいいかも。
その他、銀剣草やネーネーの話は興味深く聞かせてもらいました。
リックさん、すてきなツアーをありがとうございました。
ツアーご参加有難うございました。途中ドーナッツをなぜ食べるかというと、高山病予防なのです。3000メートルから望遠鏡で見る星空は、ホテルで見る星空とは全く違い、目に見えない星を皆さんにご紹介致します!

1人でマウイ島の旅行をしていたところで、ツアーに参加しました。
ホテルの前まで迎えに来て頂き、山内さん、Rickさんともにバスの移動中も会話で楽しませて下さり、
sunsetも星も色々教えて下さり、1人でも十分楽しむことができました!
最後はホテルに電話までして頂き、とてもお世話になりました!
三日月が明るく、新月だったらもっと星が見えたのかと思いますが、その分、月がとても綺麗に見え、
星も南十字星など日本ではなかなか見ることの出来ないものも見えて大満足です!!
ありがとうございました!!
赤道の上にある位置にマウイがあるので、季節によって南十字星が見られる所です。お一人でも皆さんと楽しめるツアーなので、是非皆さんいらしてください。

2月にhoneymoonでマウイに行き、海だけではなく山も体験したいと思い参加しました。
雲の上て見る夕陽と星空は絶品でした。山頂は稀に見る強風で、立っているのもやっとといった感じでしたが、太陽や空の色はとても綺麗でかんどうしました。
星空の時間帯にも、ただでさえ澄んだ星空で感動なのに、3つの望遠鏡を駆使しながら、あらゆる星を見せてくださったり、解説も細かくしていただき楽しめました。
ハレアカラまでのドライブ中にも、マウイのことを話しながら向かってくださり、沢山の情報をいただきました。
また夏に行く機会があったら、夏の星座を見に参加させて頂きたいです。
沢山の写真をアップして頂き有難うございます!本当にこの通りの景色なので、都会に住んでいらっしゃるお客様には、本当に来て頂きたいと思っています。夏の星座も、天の川が上にあがるので、沢山の星が見れます。是非参加してください!

Enjoyed this tremendously! The sunrise at Haleakala is as spectacular as everyone says it is.
Our guide (Bob) had a lot of humour, was well-informed and passionate, and gave us the freedom to go where we wanted to during the actual sunrise instead of having to stay at a designated spot.
Included breakfast was decent too.
The early wake-up is well worth it. Don't miss this when you're on Maui.

The scenery along Road to Hana is nice, it's an impressive ride. We got to stop where possible, and the driver tried to add some little spots here and there for quick extra photo opportunities.
I was most impressed with the final part of the road that nobody seems to mentions: the part after the Seven Pools which goes through the barren drier south side of the Haleakala. I liked this scenery a lot!
Be aware: if you want to stay on a budget: lunch is very expensive at the chosen restaurant. I brought my own lunch, which turned out to be the right choice.

下は所々雨が降ったり、風が強かったりしたのですが、上へ上がるにつれ、お天気になり風もなく、絶好のサンセット&星空日和でした。3055mでの雲海、サンセット後の薄明、満天の星空・・・今までに一度も見たことのない光景でした。本当に素晴らしかったです。夜のハレアカラ山頂へは、個人では到底行けないところだと思いますので、連れて行ってもらってよかったと思いました。また機会があれば参加したいです。
雲の上にあがっていくので、年間降雨率は20%で、ほとんどが星が見れる条件が揃っています。ただ、夜になると街灯が1つもないので、個人で行かれるのは難しいと思うので、是非皆さん参加されてくださいね。

Attended the 7am tour: first van, then helicopter. We were paired with another family of three.
Beautiful scenery, articulate tour guide named Sue, delicious and filling light lunch, and the helicopter ride was unsurprisingly a treat (lasted around 20-30 min). See my photos of both the Road to Hana van ride and helicopter ride for reference. The best is going into the sky on a partially overcast day, because the pilot will take you cloud-surfing.
The whole tour lasted around four hours.

Expectations where high when we set out for this sunset tour 30th of december 2014 but there were no sunset to be found. A cold front passed Maui this evening and we were sitting in the bus at the top of mount Haleakala for 50 min just watching rain and wind passing by in cold , cold weather.
The guide did a fine job trying to fill out for the missing sunset but was up against uneven odds.
So be aware of the weather conditions since this can reduce the value and outcome considerately.
We were very surprised that the operator didn't cancelled the tour or at least warned us about the conditions so we could have a choice to participate or not.
The dinner was fine but surprisingly enough we didn't have much time to enjoy it so we was in a bit of a hurry to get finished in time

綺麗なマウイ島の風景を満喫することが出来ます。
英語ガイドのみですが、ネイティブの方と一緒では無かったせいか、ある程度意思疎通を図りながらガイドして頂けました。
自分からここで何をしたいとか、はっきり意思表示をしないと、少し満足度がさがるかも知れません。
ハワイのツアーではよくあることですが、車内の冷房が強烈に効いているので、防寒具は持っていった方が良いです。ガイドの方にお願いしたら暖かくして頂けましたが。

これまで何度もマウイを訪れていたのに一度も登ったことのなかったハレアカラに初めて登頂。レンタカーをしていたので自力で行くことも検討しましたが、初めての場所なのでツアーに参加することにしたのですが、本当に満足度の高いツアーで参加してよかったと感じています。
ホテルまでピックアップに来てくださり、時間をかけて登っていきます。3000m超の山を登るということで多少心配もありましたが、体調にまったく問題なく気持ちよく山頂に着くことができました。
山頂で見られる景色の素晴らしさは言葉で表現できないほどのものでした。当日ちょうど満月だったこともあり、月の光が明るすぎて星はあまり見られなかったのですが(とはいえ普段見ている星空とは比較にならないものです)これまで見たことのないほど明るく美しい月に遭遇して感動しました。
やまぴーさんのガイドは本当に素晴らしいです。マウイにこれほどの素晴らしい自然があることを再認識させていただき感謝しています。またマウイに行く際には必ず参加したいと思います。
ツアー情報に記載もありますが、夜の山頂はとにかく寒いですので防寒着は多めに持っていったほうがよいかと思います。ただその寒さを凌ぐほどの感動がそこに待っていますのでオススメのツアーです。
星ツァー参加有難うございました!山頂までハレアカラは沢山の見所があって、トイレも水の給油所、人が少ない2700メートルのクレーターポイントなどがあるので最初はツァー参加していただくと楽かもしれませんね。ダウンジャケット、手袋などはなかなかハワイでは手に入らないので防寒はしてきてくださいね!
次の再会を楽しみにしています!

My husband and I were doing our 1 year anniversary during this trip. The crazy early hour was insane but well worth it. It was beautiful watching the sun rise as someone sang a native song. Our tour guide was amazing always had some new fact or funny story to say. He had us laughing quite a bit. Especially his jokes that would catch us off guard through the drive. "Men are from Mars women are from Visa" still makes me giggle. Now my husband is telling that to everyone! The breakfast was good at a local golf course. I'd go again only for our driver I think he was the best part of the entire tour. He was worth every penny. A great tour guide makes all the difference. Thank you!

The tour includes trip to the Maui Gold pine apple processing plant and also to the place where pineapple are actually grown. We got to taste the great Maui gold pineapples and also got to take one home for each one of us. The tour begins at a place which is so cool, got some wonderful pictures at this place.
Overall, it was a tour beyond my expectation. My kids loved it . My son who does not like pineapple started eating pineapple after this tour.
