We had a beautiful ride in a comfortable van with Eric along the Road to Hana on Tuesday. It was a priceless experience to be with a smart, local gentleman who knows the waterfalls, views, surfing, fauna, wildlife, history and cultural charm of Maui…and enjoys sharing his knowledge with curious tourists like us. He gave us a nice blend of drive-bys and stops that maximized our time on the tour. Highlights for us were seeing over a dozen large sea turtles, swimming in the waterfall and Eric’s perfect jackknife jump, seeing a couple of mongooses for the first time (Rikki-Tikki), and learning about the local lifestyle on Maui. Eric also made sure that we were back in plenty of time for our cruise ship departure. After researching so many tours ahead of time, we felt fortunate to have found this opportunity where we felt very safe on the entire journey…and also finished the day thinking- that was so much fun!!

Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He took us to get some amazing banana bread and great views. We ended the day at a beautiful waterfall which was private to just our tour group. 10/10 would recommend.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Mahalo Keaton! 😊 So glad you enjoyed the banana bread, views, and private waterfall stop. We loved showing you a beautiful day on the Road to Hana — hope to see you back on Maui again! 🌺

This trip was perfect for us since it was only about 6 hours ( half way to Hana). Having a few mobility issues, this was great.

Mahalo William for the kind words! We’re so glad the shorter adventure was a great fit and comfortable for you. Our goal is always to create a relaxed, personalized experience where you can still see the beauty of Maui without feeling rushed.
It was a pleasure showing you the waterfalls, beaches, and hidden spots along the way. We truly appreciate you choosing Maui Hopping and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Aloha and safe travels 🌺
Paula_J, Apr 2026
Eric was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. He took us to beautiful spots and patiently took photos for us and answered all our varied questions. Would highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Aloha Paula, thank you so much for the kind words! It truly means a lot. I’m really glad you enjoyed the Road to Hana and all the beautiful stops along the way. It was a pleasure having you, and I’m happy I could help capture some great memories for you too. Hope to see you back on Maui again someday—mahalo! 🌺🤙
Donna_S, Apr 2026
Grrat communication with Eric on meet up. He goes the extra mile. The drive on the harrowing Road to Hana was a real adventure. But he was totally in control even on hairpin curves. Green turtles! Lush greenery. Waterfalls. It was a good day.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Aloha Donna, mahalo for the awesome review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the adventure—Road to Hana can be a wild ride, so it means a lot that you felt comfortable and taken care of along the way. Sounds like we got lucky with some great sights too—turtles, waterfalls, and all that lush beauty. Appreciate you joining me and hope to see you back on Maui someday! 🤙🌺
Jennifer_Z, Apr 2026
The employees are very calm and really want to get to know everyone in the group. They are very thorough in the instructions and help relax the people that are nervous to zip
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Alohaaa! 🌺🤙
Mahalo for the awesome review! We like to think we’re part tour guides, part chill squad, and part unofficial stress-relief specialists 😄
So glad you felt relaxed and taken care of—that’s exactly the vibe we’re going for out here in paradise.
Next time, we’ll have you so comfortable you might forget you’re even jumping off a cliff! 😎
Big mahalo again and hope to see you back on Maui soon!
Jackie_D, Apr 2026
It was a really long drive with not so many stops. Our driver was so sweet and insightful on history.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Mahalo for taking the time to leave a review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your guide — we think he’s pretty great too (but don’t tell him we said that, his head might get even bigger 😄).
It sounds like the main takeaway was that it felt like a long drive with not as many stops as you were hoping for. Totally fair — the Road to Hana is a bit of a scenic marathon! That said, we did visit all of the stops included in the tour itinerary, and we were lucky enough to have great weather that day.
Not every day cooperates the way yours did — you got to see turtles, whales, waterfalls, and even had the chance to jump in at the waterfall, which is about as “Maui day” as it gets!
We truly appreciate the feedback and will always keep looking for ways to make the experience even better. Thanks again for joining us!
Leilani_M, Feb 2026
Erik was awesome. He’s super knowledgeable about Hawaiian history. He treated us to fresh pineapple, apple bananas, banana bread. Despite the rain, it was a blast. We saw waterfalls, giant sea turtles, and enjoyed all the views. He made multiple stops and took photos of us and even created a video for us. I highly recommend him!

I remember your group you were the most enthusiastic group I’ve had in eight years. May Aloha fill your life?

Great for going to the middle of road to Hana. Didn’t want to do the full day. Had great snacks & plenty of water.

Eric was an awesome tour guide very professional well knowledge, beautiful scenery waterfalls, plants,and flowers . Stopped for banana bread. Would highly recommend
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Yes, that was a very fun day. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It really means a lot to both me and the island of MAui tourism is down and we need all the people we can get MAui need to do a better job of promoting itself. It is 100 year anniversary of the road to Hana. Hopefully they mention it sometime this year. Have a great day and thank you again
Tracey_Z, Nov 2025
Perfect tour from start to finish! Very informative, personable and friendly. This 4 hour tour covered everything we wanted to see without feeling rushed, including photo ops our tour guide snapped and personally sent us at the end of our tour (also included). Wonderful assortment of beverages and snacks including fresh fruit and local banana bread. If you're wanting a tour with lots of people this isn't for you. If you want a peaceful and relaxing no stress tour then look nowhere else!!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Muchos Mahalo for your kind words I’m glad you took the time to write something nice it really makes all the difference. I hope that I can take some people and have the same experience that you had made. Love and aloha Phil your life.

Eric and his father did a fantastic job on this tour! We saw such beautiful scenery! He was very knowledgeable! The highlight was when he jumped from the waterfall!

Guide was very knowledgeable and nice. They took excellent car of us. Would definitely recommended to anyone not want to Avril "drive" the road to Hana.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words and spreading the aloha. I’m glad you got to share some time with my family and I I wish you nothing but the best for the coming year.
Celia_F, Nov 2024
It was just 5 hours of driving on the road to Hana . No jungle and a small waterfall for 30 minutes watching the guide and his family get pictures for his site
Response from Host, Dec 2024
You are complaining About the jungle, not being jungle enough and the waterfall, not being high enough?? The road to Hana has been voted the most scenic drive in the United States nine times the whole drive is through a rainforest. We see no less than 30 waterfalls throughout the day. The one we stop at is high enough to jump off of. I think any car full of happy ppl would have rubbed you the wrong way.
I still wish you a Happy Hanukkah 🕎
As you look down from your Penthouse in Manhattan this winter ponder…. Maybe in place of being hurtful this New Year I will take the time to write a positive review for someone. ( looks like it would be a first)
Rafael_R, Nov 2024
Our tour guide Eric was excellent. Extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He gave us history of what he showed us. Definitely worth it. I was soooo glad we didn’t try this trip on our own. He knows his way around, plus he’s an excellent driver.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
It really means a lot that you take the time to write this unfortunately, in these times reviews mean everything. I hope you had a great time and you have some great photos to remind you of your experience here on Maui

Denise_H, Aug 2024
Trip was overpriced just a drive on Hana Hwy. The drive was long and it’s dangerous glad a native was actually driving. Stop a few places took pictures and waterfall.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
The road to Hana has been voted the most scenic drive in the United States. It is a series of waterfalls and stops along a scenic road. I’m sorry that it was not all that you expected. I’m glad that your driver was able to take some photos and take good care of you, may your life be filled with aloha. Anyone questioning about the validity of going on the road to Hana please refer to the review right below this one Mahalo.
Sarah_G, Jul 2024
Knowledgeable and friendly tour guides who showed us the highlights of the road to Hana in an efficient but thorough manner. They also gave great lunch/dinner recommendations for the rest of our day.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for taking the time to give some kind words for our business. I’m glad you had a great experience and have some photos to share with everyone. May your travels be blessed.

Susan_B, Jun 2024
Our tour guide Erik was very informative about Maui history and kindly took pictures of us at all four stops BUT, WE NEVER STOPPED AT ANY WATERFALLS! When we realized we were returning to the starting point and asked about the waterfall stops our guide told us he didn’t realize we wanted to stop at any falls! On the Magical Waterfall tour!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
I’m sorry to hear that our tour didn’t quite meet your expectations, specifically regarding a lack of waterfall stops. I understand the importance of checking off those Instagram spots!
However, I do want to share a little insight from my perspective. I noticed that one member of your party was eerily quiet throughout the day, and I perhaps incorrectly assumed that they might not be enjoying themselves. It wasn’t until later that I realize they simply had a more reserved nature!
Please know that I take your feedback seriously, and I’m truly sorry for any disappointment caused. On the bright side, I’m glad I could provide a personalized experience, share some interesting facts, and help you capture some amazing photos.
Thank you for your feedback, and I hope to serve you better in the future!!
Angela_T, May 2024
Erik was very nice and polite, he was very knowledgeable and all three of us enjoyed the trip! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Aloha! We’re thrilled to hear that Erik’s kindness, knowledge and photography skills, made your tour with us an unforgettable experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the local tips and inside he shared, and that you got to experience some of the hidden gems Means the world to us thank you for recommending MAui hopping to others! We’re honored to have been part of your memories. Mahalo again for choosing
Antonio_O, Apr 2024
Our tour guide was very personable and knew the history and customs of the island very well. He stopped at very scenic sites and knew the perfect spots for photo ops.

Debra_Y, Mar 2024
My daughter and I had limited time in Maui and I wanted us to experience four events: walk in an Hawaiian rainforest with rainbow eucalyptus trees; spend time listening to a lush waterfall, see the infamous Green sea turtles, and stand on a lava rock beach. Eric made sure we hit them all and we never felt rushed. We couldn't have accomplished all these memories without him. He was friendly, informative, and a great host!!!!

I’m happy you had a great time and took time to,write a review. I wish everyone was as easy as the passengers on the POA
Sarah_K, Feb 2024
This was a perfect way to experience part of the road to hana and learn about the culture in a half day tour. Guide was great in terms of providing info, taking photos, and taking us to specific cool spots based on our groups athleticism. Just what our family was looking for in terms of seeing more of the local sites without a full day, too active commitment. Guide very knowledgable, kind, and connected to the community. Would recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Mahalo Nui Loa for all the kind words. May all of your adventures be filled with Aloha.

Eric was an excellent tour guide...the trip was just enough for us...saw the turtles, and lots of beaches with their graphic scenery...only moan was hardly any waterfalls....other than that a good trip had by all

You guys were a great group and I really enjoyed sharing some Alona with you. I hope the rest of your journey is filled with Mana and Aloha
GB_K, Dec 2023
Don’t hesitate if you are considering taking one of Eric’s tours! The extra effort he goes to will make your tour with him unforgettable. He offers to take photos of you, then takes his own photos of your experience, and then shares them with you at the end of the tour. We were grateful that he gave up part of Thanksgiving day to spend with us as that was the only day our cruise ship was visiting Maui. But Eric made sure we could see as much as possible during the time we had available. He had lots of snacks, water, cold drinks and tips, history, and information. He answered so many of our questions, and we asked them nonstop. One thing to understand about this tour is that you can’t easily see or visit the many waterfalls that dot the road to Hana. The road is narrow with a lot of traffic, and it is against the law to stop along the road where many of the waterfalls can be viewed. But Eric has built a trusted relationship with the owner of property where one waterfall is hidden from the road, and with his guidance, you can walk a short distance and come to a lovely little waterfall that spills into a round pool of COLD water. Granted, if you truly wanted to get in and swim, you could. And Eric would certainly give you the opportunity. But then keep in mind there’s no where to change clothing, and you’ll thus be getting back into a car where wet clothing/towels/etc. might not be as comfortable for the rest of the ride. (We were content to take photos and just enjoy the tranquility of the area.) Eric also takes you to some of the most scenic ocean views where you’ll see outrageous surfers and waves crashing onto lava rocks that make fabulous backdrops for your Christmas card photo! Or the tops of view points where you can see for long distances — another great opportunity for a photo that Eric will offer to take for you. The point is: Consider other tour options just so you can compare and realize what a great option Eric offers. He’ll give you a tour that will create memories that will last for the rest of your life (with photos to prove it)!

Holy Guacamole
Muchos Maholos for the words of praise . Your group was very fun and I had not visited some of those spots in a month. If people are physically capable there is a lot of places to visit. The fact that you changed your travel dates and still came to Maui says a lot, myself and Maui are grateful for your support.
A Hui Ho
I Always try to save the waterfall option for the end so not much time in wet clothes and lots of towels if you need them 🎈😎😎
James_B, Oct 2023
The tour agenda and pictures are misleading. We did not swim in a waterfall nor did we hike to two additional waterfalls. When I complained the owner said that I did not ask to do these two events on the itinerary. He even discouraged us from swimming at the one waterfall we stopped at. Very disappointing. When I complained the.owner was dismissive and blamed me. Fyi: it was only my wife and myself on the tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
You did not appear to be physically capable of hiking. You never mentioned it, so how would I know that you wanted to ? You were welcome to swim at the waterfall but the lack of swimwear was probably a large reason for this. You also paid for a group tour and received a private tour.
Some people are never happy and there’s nothing I can do to change that
Brooke_V, Sep 2023
The driver was super nice and easy to talk to! It was a perfect way to capture Hana without being too long. Would highly recommend to others looking for a half of day trip. We got lots of great photos.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Ty so much for the kind words it was cool having people back on tour after a month off. May your life be filled with Aloha
Dianna_B, Jul 2023
In all of my travels, this was the absolute worst tour/excursion I have experienced. To begin with, the guide gave 2 show up times. We were looking for a brown quest van and he showed up in a silver escalade. Then proceeded to be rude when we didnt immediately get out of our vehicle. The turtles were on a public beach we could have gone to on our own, there were NO monk seals, the hike through the rainforest/rainbow euclulyptis trees consisted of him pointing our 3 trees as we sped by going way too fast for the road conditions. The waterfall was very disappointing and a lot of the "information" he shared was not correct. He made my granddaughter feel very uncomfortable, his demeanor and driving. Would not recommend this tour to anyone. Very disappointing,
Response from Host, Jul 2023
I picked you up 15 minutes early in a Cadillac Escalade. I’m sorry you had your sights on the Minivan. It’s always difficult having someone who is not capable of walking on a tour. It is difficult to stop at some of the stops when someone is in a wheelchair. It is necessary to drive a certain speed on the road to not cause problems. I’m a NAI certified guide with a CDL license with a perfect driving record. I did my best to alter my tour for your disability. I hope you have a great cruise and safe travels. I’m not sure what I could of done to offend your 40 year old granddaughter but I apologize for whatever it is.
I’m not even going to pretend I know the suffering of being paralyzed and I don’t even blame you for being unhappy.
Hayk_S, Jul 2023
Had a wonderful time with a professional tour guide. He spent much effort educating us about the sights we were visiting.
