Winter clothes were provided but bring a hat or extra gloves if you get cold easily. Yoshi did a great job of showing us the stars and we saw Saturn too! He even had Krispy Kremes and hot drinks!

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.

This experience was absolutely great! 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. Visiting Maui is something you can't miss.

富士山クラスの山でしたが、トイレ休憩含め、高度に少しずつ慣らしながら連れて行ってくれたので何の問題もなく山頂まで到着。
雲が厚く、心配しましたがサンセット時にはだいぶ晴れ、幻想的な夕陽を見ることが出来ました。
そして真っ暗になってからはポインターで空を指しながらの解説で正に天然のプラネタリウムでした。
高級な望遠鏡も用意頂き、土星の輪っかや月のクレーターなどもはっきり見ることが出来ました。

We had a great time in the sunset and stargazing tour. The tour operator Yamauchi-San was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He promptly picked us up at the scheduled time. He was very engaging with the whole group and provided us with donuts and water at the start of the trip. He ensured that the group got gradually acclimated to the altitude by stopping at couple of places on the way. Once we reached the summit he took us to a place that had a very clear view of the setting sun. Then during the stargazing part of the tour he showed us several stars and star clusters through the telescope and binoculars. Also since it was a full moon we also got a good view of the moon and it’s craters through the telescope. Overall we enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others.

We were fortunate enough to have had a new moon and clear sky up on Haleakalā back in September. We had breathtaking views of Milky Way, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Andromeda galaxy, and much more thanks to our amazing guide, Yoshi! Yoshi brought us a box of donuts and served us hot tea throughout the night. We were a bit fearful of driving down from the summit in the dark, but Yoshi led the way and made us feel very safe. This was easily one of our most memorable experiences during our visit to Maui and highly recommend it!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! First you get to drive up 10k feet up Haleakala and view amazing landscapes, be above the clouds and then watch the sunset. Guide, Yoshi (not sure if spelling correctly) was amazing! Has been doing this tour for 20 years. Very laid back, knowledgeable, and offers up various spots for photos. He has very good equipment for star gazing. He sets everything up, provides winter jackets and even coffee and tea. We got to see Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Andromeda galaxy and much more. Would recommend to anyone! We spent about 1 hour of the tour star gazing and other tours were already gone while we were still up there. Absolutely amazing!

Most people do the sunrise, but I would have to argue the sunset tour lives up close to the the sunrise. The stargazing was amazingly clear on our tour! The guides know what to present and really give some awesome detail of the history of Haleakala. We had a 5 year old and she loved the experience of being so close to the night sky above. I would recommend dressing warm, for you may get hot when the sun is setting but won't regret it at night, it definitely gets cold up there!
Also, BRING FOOD. They are not lieing, it is a long night ahead of you and you will be definitely sad if you get hungry because not much is open once the tour is done.

まず初めに。
機会があるなら迷わず行ってください!と言いたいです。
高山病にならないように徐々に慣らしながら連れて行ってもらえる上、途中でスーパーやお土産屋さんに立ち寄ってオススメを教えてくれます♡
雲の上のサンセットなんて、そうそう見れるものではなく、静寂に包まれてゆっくりとした時間が流れ、日常を忘れさせてくれるほど感動しました。
その後は満点の星空。
クッキリと星座が見れ、無数の星が空いっぱいに広がります。ラッキーなことに流れ星も見えましたよ。
残念ながら携帯では撮れなかったですが、見上げたときの驚きは忘れられないです。
写真を撮りたい方はカメラ持参をお勧めします。
そして何より、ガイドの山Pの細やかな気遣いと面白く勉強になるトーク!これもまたこのツアーの醍醐味ですよ!
知らない方ばかりですが、みーんな仲良くなれます。温かい気持ちでツアーを終えました。
何度でも行きたいです。
ツァー参加して頂き有難うございました。最初にオリエンテーリング兼コーヒードーナッツ休憩、(ツァーに含まれています) がありまして。ツァー参加の皆さんとの交流があります。少しのドーナッツでも食べておくと高山病予防になります。そのあとは夜の寿司弁当の買い物にスーパーに立ち寄りますので、忘れていたお買い物も色々ご紹介していきますので、それぞれが現地ハワイの地元価格でお勧めするお買い物もできます。あとの工程は是非ツァーに参加してくださいませ。笑 またゆっくりマウイに遊びに来てくださいね。お待ちしております。

日本語ガイドという事で安心して参加出来ました。
標高3000m以上登るので高山病予防のため、途中休憩を挟み山頂まで上がりましたが、休憩が絶妙で、全く大丈夫でした。雲の上に上がると降っていた雨もあがり(雲の上だから当然?)視界全てが絶景で、撮影している間に夕陽が落ちてきました。太陽が沈む瞬間は何とも言えない気持ちでした。夕陽を見た後は説明付きの星空鑑賞。やまぴーさんの説明は早口でたまに聞き取れなかったけど話に聞き入ってしまいました。星空の事だけでなく、世界の事、地球のこれから、危険な事は起きていくだろうという話は現実的で身が引き締まる思いになりました。ご自身の体験談、親御さんの事など…話を聞いていたら涙が溢れてきました。帰りの車内のBGMにまた涙が出て号泣。自分の中の凝り固まった部分が溶けたような感じでした。大切な事を考えさせてくれるツアーです。やまぴーさんは素晴らしいエンターテイナーです。沢山の方がこのツアーに参加されるといいなぁと思います。
ツアー参加頂き有難うございました。ハレアカラ山頂から少し動いた場所にサンセット絶景スポットがありまして、皆さんをご案内しています。人も居なくてゆっくりサンセットの沈む様子が眺められます。不思議なことにここに来ると今までの色々な日々が走馬灯の様に浮かび、地球の大きさと雄大な景色に包まれます。人生回り道してもいいのではと思ったりします。またマウイにいらしゃってくださいませ。

夕日にしようか、朝日にしようか迷い、日本語ガイドの当ツアーを選択。
これは大正解でした。
ハレアカラ到着までのマウイ島にまつわる四方山話、安価でレアなお土産の
紹介などもあり、飽きる事なくあっという間に山頂へ。
山頂へ着いてからもよどみない説明の合間に、マジック・アワーのシャッター
チャンスを逃すことなく参加グループ毎に手際よく写真撮影をしていただきました。
星空観測では椅子、手袋、毛布、そして温かい麦茶の提供、有難かったです。
高倍率の天体望遠鏡を通して、月面もはっきりと観測できるとは!
以前ハワイ島で同様のツアーに参加した時と比較すると、感動度合は全く異なりなした。星を眺めながらのガイド山内さんのお話も、久しぶりに聞いた心に染みる良いお話でした。これからも出来る限り、このツアーを続けて頂きたいです。
この日は月が出ている日で、多少星が月の明るさで半減してしまったと思うのですが、半月の時は月のクレーターが着陸できるような距離で眺められるので、これもひとつの楽しみですね。また是非3000メートルの夕陽と星空を見に来てくださいませ。再会を楽しみにしております。
