This is a super fun way to see part of the Island. Jimmy did a fantastic job describing about Maui history and environment. We learned so much! Beautiful views and delicious banana bread! Great way to start getting a good feeling of the island before you go to Hana.

The driver was so friendly and funny. He had a a great presence all the way and was very polite, showing us picture areas to remember the tour! He even taught us some Hawaiian words and explained a bit of the history around the Islands. It was awesome.

    The best tour! It was fun but relaxing. Tour guide he was so informative and passionate! Love the truck is open and you feel like you are apart of the scenery. It wouldn’t have been as great if it was in a different type of vehicle. Very clean truck and comfortable.

    The shuttle was clean,...

    Amanda_W, Jul 2026
    The shuttle was clean, comfortable, and on time, and our guide was pleasant. Unfortunately, our overall experience was disappointing because of how the scheduling was handled. Three days before our tour, we were notified that our reserved time slot was being canceled because there weren’t enough travelers. We had to rearrange our plans to take an earlier tour, and we weren’t given the option to wait and see if additional bookings would fill the original departure. What made this especially frustrating was that when we returned from our tour, we saw the original departure leaving as scheduled. Had we been given the choice, we would have preferred to keep our original reservation instead of changing our plans. The transportation itself was good, but the communication and handling of the schedule left us disappointed. The price of the tour was more than the value in our experience.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing that our shuttle was clean, comfortable, on time, and that your guide provided a pleasant experience. We’re truly sorry for the frustration surrounding the scheduling. Because we operate small-group tours, each departure requires a minimum number of guests. Three days before your tour, bookings for your original departure were still below that minimum, so we reached out proactively rather than risk canceling your tour at the last minute. We know many guests carefully plan their vacation days, and our goal is to give as much advance notice as possible whenever a departure appears unlikely to operate. In your case, several last-minute reservations came in after you had already been moved, allowing the original departure to run after all. We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to see that tour leave as scheduled, and we can appreciate why that felt frustrating. We’ll take your feedback to heart as we continue refining our scheduling process to better balance providing advance notice with allowing additional time for late bookings. We sincerely appreciate you choosing Shaka Tours Maui and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the experience we strive to deliver.

    Relaxing and Cute Little Experience

    Ann_W, Jun 2026
    Such a fun and relaxing ride with Gaen. He stopped several times to explain the scenery and give us some of the backstory. Vehicle was comfortable and the breeze was very refreshing. Thanks for the great music Gaen, I totally forgot to ask you for your playlist!! LOL

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Mahalo so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy you had such a fun and relaxing time exploring West Maui with Gaen. He loves sharing the stories behind the places we visit, and we’re glad you enjoyed both the scenery and the open-air ride. We’ll be sure to let Gaen know you appreciated his music selection—he’ll get a kick out of knowing his playlist was a hit! Next time you’re on Maui, remind him about that playlist, and we’ll make sure you don’t leave without it. Mahalo for choosing Shaka Tours Maui. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

    Saturday Fun Day

    Cheryl_W, Jun 2026
    This tour was as described. Our driver-guide, Gaen, was great! Lots of explanations and history given on this journey. Very receptive to answering our questions and lending a hand with picture-taking! I thought I saw a turtle swimming but not sure, and unfortunately for us, the Nakalele Blowhole wasn’t spewing water into the air! Wonderful trip nonetheless. Lots of pictures and videos as reminders. You won’t go wrong if you book this!!

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Mahalo for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time exploring West Maui with Gaen. He loves sharing the history, local stories, and helping guests capture great memories along the way, so we’re happy to hear he made your experience even more enjoyable. The Nakalele Blowhole definitely has a mind of its own—it all depends on the ocean conditions. While it doesn’t always put on its biggest show, the scenery is always spectacular. And who knows…maybe you really did spot a sea turtle! Thank you for choosing Shaka Tours Maui and for recommending us to future visitors. We hope to see you again on your next trip to Maui. Aloha!

    No banyan trees in sight

    Paul_B, May 2026
    This experience was disappointing. It amounted to being driven around in an open vehicle in the rain and listening to the guides music choice. He was a friendly chap and was knowledgeable about the area but where were the banyan trees???? The blowhole was not as expected which I understand is not controllable. The ponchos we were given were very thin and were not protective, besides they were very noisy when people were not smart enough to tuck them under their backs. Definitely would not recommend this tour- my $200 could have been spent better.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Aloha, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. Maui’s weather can change quickly, especially along the West Maui coastline, and while the open-air shuttle experience is something many guests love for the immersive views and fresh air, we understand it may not be enjoyable for everyone during rainy conditions. We do appreciate your kind comments about Jimmy’s friendliness and knowledge of the island. As for the banyan trees, this tour includes the Honolua area and surrounding West Maui scenic highlights, though we understand your expectations may have differed based on the tour name and description. The Nakalele Blowhole is also highly dependent on ocean conditions, which can vary day to day. Your feedback regarding the ponchos and overall comfort is valuable, and we’ll absolutely take it into consideration as we continue improving the guest experience at Shaka Tours Maui . Mahalo again for joining us, and we sincerely wish you the best during the rest of your time on Maui.

    It’s a great way to start...

    Virginia_S, May 2026
    It’s a great way to start your vacation if you’re new to the island. Long enough for the highlights but short enough for your attention span.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Aloha and mahalo for the great review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your experience with Shaka Tours Maui . That’s exactly what we aim for with our West Maui sightseeing tour — giving guests a fun and relaxing introduction to the island with incredible highlights, beautiful scenery, and local stories, all without taking up the entire day. Our open-air shuttle experience is designed to let you truly take in Maui’s coastline, ocean views, and fresh island air while keeping the tour comfortable and easygoing. Mahalo again for joining our Maui tour company, and we hope the rest of your vacation was amazing!

    A short tour of the North West Maui Coast

    2 hours - open air (bring sunglasses and a jacket on cooler days). Jimmy, our driver and guide, did a great job. He was helpful, courteous, very knowledgeable, respectful and witty. It was not just interesting, it was also fun - thanks to Jimmy.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Aloha and mahalo for the great review! We love that you highlighted the open-air experience—sunglasses and a light jacket are definitely a great call depending on the day.
