Yoshi was a fantastic guide that provided us with such a memorable experience. He supplied us with coats and blankets and snacks so that we were comfortable. He also showed us constellations and stars through his telescope. If you are fascinated by the stars you will never forget this experience. Must try!

滞在ホテルからハレヤカラ山までの長い道のり 休憩入れて楽しく到着
途中フードランドでポキいろいろ種類紹介して頂いてツアー後ホテルで食べて美味しかった
ハレヤカラ山到着してからも壮大な景色にワクワク
特別な場所でイス設置して頂いて
夕日を見て空の色が変わりオレンジ ブルー グリーン素敵でした
日が暮れて星空待つ間も空のグラデーション今でも思い出せます
しばらく待っての星空 こんなに星☆あるの?とビックリの満天の星 天体望遠鏡でいろいろな星座教えて頂いて感動でした 滞在時期 南十字星が見えるグッドタイミング 夜空で星との撮影も感動
思い出のアルバム作成しています
夫とは何度もハワイに行ってますが
今回初めてハワイに行く方と一緒だったので本当に感動されていました

今回のハワイ旅行のメインのツアーでした。
ところが、時間に余裕があると思いPaiaに行ったため、ツアーの集合時間に間に合わなくなってしまったのです。途方に暮れていたところ、ガイドのヤマピーさんから連絡があって途中で拾ってもらうことができました。感謝感謝です!
山頂からの夕日と星空は想像を超えた美しさでした。南十字星まで見えたのにはビックリです。
ヤマピーさんに助けていただいたり、、星の事をいろいろ教えてもらったり、すばらしい経験でした。ありがとうございました。

I'm not going complain about the food, it's good but they need to improved their seating and luau stage, you have to be vip to be able to see the performance. All you see it's people's head if you are seated in the middle or back seat. The dancers don't give a chance to take a nice picture. Not recommend unless you pay vip

We went to the top of Haleakala with Yoshi, and it was a wonderful experience. We felt safe which was great. I would recommend going with a tour if you're going to go stargazing because the drive down the mountain esp in the dark can be a little daunting....no guardrails between 7,000-10,000 ft, winding roads on side of cliff, with no/very little lights on the sides of the road.
The stars and the sunset were breathtaking!!! We were literally above the clouds. Everything was provided like hot tea, blankets, warm jackets, a telescope and a pair of stand-up binoculars.
Highlight of our trip. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of our tour guide Yoshi - the donuts for everyone, opportunities for photo taking...Thank you Yoshi!!!

Had an excellent experience - pickup from our location on the western side of Maui was easy and extremely convenient. The guide, Yoshi, is very friendly and knowledgeable about the island, and a very courteous travel leader. It's a long ride up the mountain, but there are plenty of spots to acclimate to the changes. It gets cold no matter the time of year, but the provided coat and warm drinks will help considerably! Still, safe to bring more warm gear like a hoodie.
The sunset and stargazing part of the tour are breathtaking. It's a truly one of a kind location and expeeience that I can't recommend enough to anyone curious about it.

Our entire family (ages 17 to 55) really enjoyed this tour. Yoshi was a great guide and made sure we enjoyed the experience by providing chairs, warm clothing, blankets, and hot drinks. He also took pictures and gave hints on taking great pictures. Haleakalā is a great experience and is truly another world. You go above the clouds at 10K feet, so you don’t need to worry about visibility, and the star gazing is amazing. Unique and great experience!

Our Star Gazing tour with Yoshi was better then we even expected! His knowledge of the star field was appreciated and he fully explained the stops for altitude acclimation and conditions we could expect at the summit. He also stopped to pick up donuts to share before the sunset viewing.
We initially stopped near the fairly crowded observatory area for picture taking, but he then drove us to a more secluded spot where we were able to enjoy the sunset and nighttime views in almost total isolation.
Though we came prepared with hoodies and midweight jackets, gloves and hot coffee, Yoshi had hot water available for making green tea or other beverages, as well as any additional jackets and blankets if needed.
Yoshi set up a high powered binocular stand and a telescope for viewing several star clusters, and luckily we were also able to see the Southern Cross. Perhaps the best feature, though, was lying on our backs and just looking at the star filled sky, which was an almost transcendental experience.
We had previously driven up Mauna Kea years ago, and being able to relax and enjoy the view on the ascent, rather than having to concentrate on the road, especially on the way down after nightfall was well worth the cost.
Avoid the big Hotel tour groups and book with Maui Allstars for a more personalized trip and I am sure you will not regret it. Apologies that night photo did not have appropriate exposure setting to really display the stars.

Yoshi is a wonderful passionate guide. I can not say enough about our sunset and stargazing experience. Yoshi not only loves what he does but shared that excitement with all of us on the tour. Our tour ended up just being our family of 5 (ages 73, 60, 31, 30 and 29). The knowledge and laughter Yoshi shared with us along with his special spot for viewing was absolutely amazing. He also shared donuts, hot tea/coffee, blankets, chairs and coats. This was welcomed as the temperature dips after the sun goes down (even for Buffalo, NY natives). The stargazing we did with his telescopes and the knowledge he shared of how to take some very interesting photos was wonderful. I would not only recommend this tour to all but will take it again if I find myself in Maui again.
Thank you Yoshi for such a memorable family experience.

I couldn’t ask for more and really had a fantastic time. Yoshi was very accommodating, we are a family of 4 and the experience was shared with another 2 people. A relatively small group, and the transport was super comfy, water and donuts was provided, and we had multiple stops prior to reaching the peak to allow us to get used to the elevation. Toilets are clean and oh my the view! Yoshi has a passion in astronomy and we learnt a lot from him during star gazing. He also brought chairs, blankets, hot water and even jackets to make sure we are warm. It is absolutely mind blowing to see the amount of stars that lit up… and best bit ? You felt like you are the only ones in there, we had a relatively quiet spot and the craters are spectacular. Our children 11 and 8 coped well with the excursion. I would join again if I’m back in Maui. Thank you for making the trip so memorable.

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.

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.

Check out the photos the photographer takes too. She is awesome!

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!

Happy you enjoyed the food. Sorry to hear you didn't have a great view from your seat. I wish you had said something to a manager so we could have tried to accommodate. We will soon be moving to an elevated stage but have to wait for approval from the county liquor department. Until then we have added elevated seating in the back to help guests be able to see better that are seated in the farthest rows. We also try to put groups with children close to the front so the children can see since they are shorter. We hope you were still able to enjoy the music and show and hope you will give us another chance in the future.
