We recently took a Road to Hana excursion (scheduled for April 10th, but went on the 11th) and had such a fantastic experience that I had to share.
From the very beginning, the organizer (Dana, who I believe is also the owner) stood out. With all the national news about weather concerns leading up to our trip, I was honestly a bit nervous. About a week in advance, Dana sent an update reassuring us that the Road to Hana is open and beautiful rain or shine, which immediately put us at ease. We were able to flex around the weather, which I appreciate and know is not always possible.
We decided to book a private driver so we could move at our own pace with our children, and I’m so glad we did. Our driver, Luke, was prompt, professional, and unbelievably patient with our very inquisitive five-year-old, who had a lot of questions. Luke answered everything with ease and shared so much knowledge about the area, the land, and local history, things we likely wouldn’t have experienced on a larger group tour.
While we had the flexibility to stop wherever we wanted, Luke also curated a really well-balanced day for us, including beautiful beaches, great lunch spots, and fun treats along the way.
One thing worth noting: the welcome email does mention motion sickness, and that’s definitely something to take seriously. I was concerned about my five-year-old, but we made it through the full Road to Hana and back before he started to feel uncomfortable. If you’re prone to car sickness, definitely plan ahead and follow their guidance.
Overall, my family absolutely loved the beaches, waterfalls, and breathtaking views and we loved how easy and personalized the entire experience felt. Highly recommend!

Our guide Te’a was amazing! We learned so much about the history of the road, the plant-life, the falls, everything. Saw so many beautiful falls and beaches. Great local stands and awesome lunch! I would 100% recommend. By the end of the day Te’a felt like one of the family and we can’t wait to plan our next trip to Maui so we can do it all again!

The Road to Hana with our tour guide, David, AKA Shirtless Dave was amazing! He took us off the beaten path to several special beaches and waterfalls and since he’s an organic farmer, he shared with us the name and history of all the trees, plants, flowers, and birds that we saw along the way!

Yvette was a fantastic guide! And very fun and stress free way to experience Hana! Highly recommend!

It was an unforgettable experience, with Jackie as our host, for our family of 5. She tailored our experience on the fly for exactly what we were looking for. Not only the standard visit spots, but a couple off the beaten path locations! We will definitely be seeking her out in any future visits! Thanks for making our visit a once in a lifetime experience.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

We’re happy to know the day left such a lasting impression and would love to welcome you back on a future visit.

This was an amazing way to experience Maui! We picked this tour as it had been voted #1 tour for Road to Hana. We were more than satisfied with the experience! Robin, our tour guide, was more than a tour guide, she was a friend! She played Island music along the way and walked us through the history of the Island as we hopped through each attraction, she also ordered the famous banana bread, took us to the BBQ chicken food wagon where we had delicious and succulent chicken, and we swam at the Hana beach where we had so much fun! She drove safely and was mindful of what we would like to see, she took the time to make sure we were happy with the tour. We would highly recommend this tour group! Thank you Robin!
Response from Host, Aug 2025

My family had the most amazing day exploring with Stacy! She was accommodating and showed us so many cool things! We saw turtles on the beach, waves crashing into lava rocks. We went on a hike to a waterfall. To get fresh out the oven banana bread! We also went on an amazing swim stopped at a couple local food spots and shops. It was the best day ever!

What a wonderful road to Hana experience today thanks to our guide Matt. The stunning scenery, body surfing, and waterfall jumping were unforgettable. He so graciously shared his knowledge Hawaiian culture while ensuring we had a safe and entertaining experience. The Toyota Sienna van was immaculately clean, well stocked with snacks and beverages, and comfortable for our four person family. We happily share our A+ recommendation.
Jennifer_D, Jan 2025
Stacey was very knowledgeable and easy to chat to. Such a lovely lady , she had everything you need for the trip, water, snacks, rain coats, even soap for the toilet.
The experience is amazing and she takes you to places you would never find on your own.
Make sure you allow time to travel to where you are being picked up as they don’t collect you from the hotel.

What a fantastic day! We had so much fun :) Stacey our tour guide was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed all day long. These guys really pay attention to detail and cater to what your group wants to do and see. We laughed all day! Thank you Stacey for making our once in a lifetime Hāna day trip perfect :)!

This was a highlight for our family. The road to Hana with 10 people was not hard to plan with this tour and our guides. Our guides, Leah and Eli, were AMAZING! Living on Maui, they had personal stories as well as history and facts to share all along the way. The views along this ride are breathtaking and our guides really just brought it all together. We always felt safe and even jumped off a waterfall with their experienced instruction. If you want a relaxing, fun, great day in Maui book this private road to Hana tour!!
Manny_G, Mar 2024
Our entire trip was memorable thanks to the best tour guide ever! Charlotte catered to us and gave us the best suggestions and took us to the best spots on the Road to Hana.
Rachel_B, Jan 2024
Great tour! Nicole was fantastic! She knew a lot about the island and showed us some great sights. I definitely recommend the private tour as we were able to skip things we weren't intereted in and spend more time at places we really loved. The back of her van was like a Mary Poppins bag! She had anything we could have needed - towels, rain ponchos, walking sticks, you name it! Totally prepared. Definitely recommend this tour!

Our tour guide was Eli. He picked us up on time in a pristine, clean fresh vehicle. It was a minivan so very spacious and comfortable. He was very friendly and made good conversation, my sister and I were able to relate with him and talk story the whole trip. He knew a lot about the different places and things we saw and took us to some great places and we had a lot of good photo ops. The drive was so beautiful and much more relaxing having someone who knows the road do the driving. The private tour really is private. It's the booking party only. I love that and it is so worth it even though it costs more. The personal attention is great. Thank you Eli for making our tour great!!

Thank you Dana!
