Amazing tour! Jason was very knowledgeable and showed us a wonderful time. This tour is definitely worth the money to see Maui’s natural beauty. This tour was off the grid and exactly what we hoped for. We were able to see beautiful landscape, swim at the black sand beach, and visit many markets and shops. Jason showed us all an incredible time!

The excursion was very unique. There is a long windy road with one lane bridges. However, it was worth it. My kids and I felt very safe, learned a lot about the island, and seen some very beautiful sites. We stopped off at a small locally owned store on way. They had great coffee, banana bread, any a lot more. Also, the property is beautifully landscaped. Our driver was very personable, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend.

2 hours to pick up other guests. 5:30am pick up . Picked up first and dropped off first.
A lot of drive time. Drove by waterfalls ( no stops) . Drove thru rain forest , I guess . No stoping. Driver Ed was very personable and did a good job trying to keep everyone entertained. 5:30 pick up and 4:30 drop off.
Overall a good trip and lots of beautiful things to see.

Guide Christopher was amazing. Excellent driver. Very personable, funny and knowledgable! Scenery was fantastic. Huge downside was a six month old infant in our 12 passenger van for 9 1/2 hours. Injustice to all including the baby. We are celebrating our 44th anniversary and chose to do the tour so we could relax. A screaming infant with ear piercing shrills was the opposite of relaxing. Why would you even allow an infant on that long of a tour. It made for a very stressful trip and took away from the day.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Aloha,
Mahalo for your feedback, and happy 44th anniversary! We’re glad you enjoyed the scenery and Christopher’s guiding.

If nothing else, take this wonderful tour to be enriched, humored and enchanted by tour guide Anthony. He is an exceptional host who is quite skilled and approachable.
While taking in the majestic sites on the road to Hana, Anthony passionately explained the fundamentals of Hawaiian history, culture and language. He was caring and upbeat, and gladly responded to individual needs!
Also noteworthy, Anthony was an extremely safe driver on this very challenging and curvy road.
In sum, Anthony truly represents the spirit of Aloha!!

Good evening,
On Sunday I went on the road to Hana tour with my girlfriend and good friend, and unfortunately I have been left feeling very underwhelmed from the whole experience. From my understanding, the tour guide we had was not the original planned, and was a substitute. However during the tour, we got off the bus just 5 times (including lunch), and when we did we only got 10-15 minutes in each place, (on the itinerary it was a lot more places and all for at least 30 minutes), apart from the beach where we got 45 minute's. It felt like we were being rushed in every single location, and during the tour, we never stopped at any of the venders on the trip (apart from the farm), despite being told to bring cash so we could stop. During the tour, the guide didn't fill us with information and in order to get any, we had to constantly ask about anything for him to speak to us.
The tour felt like a quick dash in and out drive and when I asked if we could stop to take a picture of the rainbow eucalyptus, as I had seen other buses pull over and stop, we just slowed down as we drove past it and kept going. We were also told after the beach we would stop at a waterfall and we would have time to jump in and swim, however we never stopped and we just kept driving last them all, so again I feel like it's something I've missed doing as the tour felt rushed and the guide wasn't 100% interested in giving us the best possible day. The guide kept pointing out different locations and venders leading up to the feeling of stopping and seeing, but went on to say we aren't going there today.
On top of this, we ate lunch next to the toilets, instead of a nice spot which was a bit disappointing, to be eating next to bathroom that you could smell.
From my understanding, there was other people on the bus upset and confused as to why we were not getting off the bus very often and why we were not stopping more often at venders and spots.
For me, spending $440 on this trip for my girlfriend and I, we expected an awful lot more, and don't feel like I got anywhere close to the value of what I paid out of the experience. I was very dissapointed with what we did and the experience. If there is something that could be done in terms of a refund or even a partial refund I would be very much appreciated as I don't believe to have got the value for the money spent.
Kind regards
Dylan Waters

Mahalo for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your Road to Hana experience did not meet your expectations and that you felt rushed throughout the tour. We understand how important this experience is, especially given the cost and anticipation, and we regret that several stops and experiences you were looking forward to were not included or felt shortened.
We also apologize for the lack of communication and engagement you experienced during the tour, as well as your concerns regarding the lunch location and missed opportunities at scenic stops. This is not the experience we aim to provide for our guests.
Your comments are very important to us and will be shared with our management team for a thorough review so we can address these concerns and improve future tours. Regarding your request for a refund or partial refund, please kindly reach out to our reservations or the booking platform you used so they can properly assist you with this matter.

Great experience overall with excellent sites/views and a wonderful way to learn about the culture. We had Jason as our tour guide. He was fantastic. He gave us great insights on the local culture. The road is very curvy - one lane each way - take motion sickness medicine! Enjoy the waterfalls and the black sand beach as well.

We were picked up by Dell at the condo we stayed. That was a great perk for a 6:00 am tour. Dell is personable and shared a base of good knowledge. His being experienced with the winding narrow road was obvious. At times we were crossing bridges only one car could be on. He was courteous and patient with other drivers who weren’t familiar with the right of way. We did get a full rain forest experience. The recommended rain jacket or poncho is important. The water temperature at the waterfall was 50 degrees so have something warm to wear after in the air conditioned van. The sandwich was delicious. We were eating it during a heavy downpour and there wasn’t a covered place to eat. So an umbrella would help. We didn’t have one so we got drenched. Again, having a towel to cover yourself in the air conditioned van is helpful. The tour is as described. The waterfalls and scenery are beautiful. The banana bread is truly delicious. I bought four loaves to take back to our family who were staying at the condo and everyone raved about them. We had original for those who can’t eat nuts and the macadamia nut one that were the favorite. The pineapple one was good too but not as good. It was amazing to see around 50 turtles on a beach. The great thing about the day was we didn’t have to navigate and make decisions about which stops to make. A stress free enjoyable nine hours on Maui

Dell was so phenomenal. Super patient. Answered a ton of questions. But more than anything else, his driving was safe. That is the greatest aspect of the package. The road to Hana can be tricky if you drive yourself, but having Dell probably saved my marriage since it spared us from dealing with no signal, a rental, finding locations and parking, traffic, places to eat…etc
