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

Road to Hāna with the driver Dell was amazing. I felt super safe with him navigating the roads, and at each stop he made sure no one was left behind! Would definitely book this tour again, also want to note that the sub for lunch was amazing!

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

Lindsey_W, Apr 2026
Ok this is such a great day with so many different stops. The tour guide knows the roads so well, and is not in a hurry. My kids loved swimming by the waterfall and at beach. She was so knowledgable about hawaiin culture and the road to Hana. I drove the road to hana 10 years ago and we did not get in as many stops in ans definately didnt learn that much. I took a 6 year old and an 8 year old.

Tour was fine until it came time to get back to our hotel. Driver asked us if we wanted to see the west side of the island, which we agreed to but didn’t know it would add over 2.5 hours to our day making it an eleven hours day ( we were 15 minutes from hotel when this happened). So, the other people were dropped off leaving us for last to benefit the driver( traffic). Felt duped.
But the driver did thank us for “taking one for the team”(?) what team? His team.
I have since cancelled two Viator tours.
Dilshat_B, Mar 2026
Travel time is long, not much to offer.
Road was closed for more than half an hour going to and more than half an hour back which put you under pressure if you from cruise line.
Doesn’t worth to pay more than $200 to see the rocky shore in Hāna.
MariaZenaida_P, Mar 2026
It's a wow for those who love nature. We were in very capable hands with our driver & tour guide, Del, who safely navigated tight alleys & the very long winding road to Hana. The bay & black pebble beach are slices of paradise.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Aloha! 🌺
Mahalo nui loa for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Del guided you safely and confidently on the Road to Hana 🤙 It’s great that you enjoyed the stunning nature, the bay, and the black pebble beach—truly slices of paradise!

Jason made our private Maui rainforest tour excellent. He's cool, funny, professional, and genuinely passionate—not just reciting facts but sharing stories that stick. We rode in a comfy vehicle, stopped for fresh coconuts, and hit a trail with amazing views: bamboo tunnels, multiple waterfalls, and pools light enough to look neon. Mid-hike there was warm banana bread that tasted like it came out of someone's kitchen five minutes earlier. Jason paced it perfectly—photo stops without padding, skips to dodge crowds, and time to stand in the mist and listen. Stunning, laid-back, and memorable.
Ask for Jason. You will not regret
It was amazing

We can't wait to welcome you back for your next adventure.
Brenda_T, Feb 2026
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, but before the trip we were texted to wear flip flops and bring a towel because there were places to go in the water. Although this was true, it was cold, rainy, and we walked in very slippery areas that I would have worn better shoes if I had known. I was not dressed correctly, thinking it would be nice based on the text. The last comment I will make, is boy is it a long tour, we were ready to be done half way through.
Debra_c, Feb 2026
Jason our guide was an energetic experienced local who wanted to share beautiful Maui from a local perspective. This is an all day adventure exploring in the rainforest. Lots of time driving the 30 miles of winding road. Beautiful rainfalls. Awesome views from the twists and turns drive. Lots of stops at local vendors. Stops to smell barks of trees, plants. Time to immersed yourself into nature surroundings. Great black sand beach with an option to hike. Decent no frills lunch.
Jason as a guide/driver. Knowledgeable and friendly. Wished we spent more time at the black sand beach and at a rainfall where we could have access to stand beneath. Time well spent in Maui’s natural surroundings away from resort.

We did a private tour which was nice to take the tour in a SUV instead of a bus. It is a treacherous road but felt safe with our driver. We were happy with Aloha Sunshine Tours although we didn’t care for our guide. We felt he could have given us more information on the sites we were or would be seeing.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Aloha,

Great views. Not much hiking or waterfall time. Expected more based on the description of the tour. Guide (Lisa) was very engaged and made many stops to take photos and to shop.

This was a great experience! Jason was so knowledgeable about Hana, Maui and Hawaiian culture and history. He communicated well and was on time. He really took care of us!

Donna_M, Jan 2026
This is NOT the experience you want if you don’t want to spend all day in a van or stoping at roadside banana bread stands. The highlight of the tour was WAIʻĀNAPANAPA STATE PARK and its black sand beaches. The environment, vegetation and ecological sites were stunning. It truly felt like paradise. We spent an hour here but would’ve loved more time to explore.
The other highlight was stopping at a waterfall. However, it was a small waterfall just off the side of the road. It was crowded with other groups and we only had maybe 20 mins at this stop.
I originally booked this specific tour based on the reviews and photos of amazing hiking, waterfall and sea turtle adventures. I mean the title of the tour includes the word waterfalls. We saw several waterfalls but only stopped at one. That was definitely mis-representation in the headline and description. We were looking for a hike to a waterfall followed by a swim. That did not happen.
We also only briefly stopped at Pua'a Ka'a State Park to see the sea turtles and we saw them from a very highly elevated standpoint in the parking lot area. It would’ve been great to go down to the beach area.
There was a lot of time in the van and a lot of stops at roadside stands. I would’ve rather eliminated most of those stops and spent more time at the black sand beaches and various waterfalls.
I would’ve also have loved to learn more about the history of this area. Our tour guide was super friendly and safe, but we could’ve used more information about the land and history of Maui, and less personal or family stories.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Aloha,
Mahalo nui loa for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the limited time at waterfalls, the brief stop at Pua’a Ka’a State Park, and the long periods in the van. We understand how important it is to have enough time to explore, enjoy the scenery, and connect with the land.
We also hear your concern about wanting more history and cultural information rather than personal stories. Your feedback is valuable, and we will use it to improve how we balance sightseeing, educational content, and stop durations on future tours.
Mahalo for your honesty, and we hope you might give us another chance in the future to provide a more immersive and meaningful Maui experience. 🌺🤙
