We had a great guide (Paula). It is a long day but saw awesome sites, multiple coastline, beautiful foliage, black sand beach, ended the day watching surfers and saw a large group of sea turtles resting on the beach. Over packed with swine ware that no one in our group needed. Awesome experience

We were not given Pick up timing in the morning, the driver just called us when he arrived at our resort , which was 45 min prior to our tour start time.
Also, the driver was not giving us time at a given location and was not patient enough to wait for all passengers to arrive back into the bus .

Our experience with Spencer was amazing!! He made sure we were comfortable and we had everything we needed. He shared the Hawaiian culture and everything he knew about the island. We loved learning about his experience as a child and his family. The way he navigated the roads to Hana was so seamless and made it seem so easy but we also could relax knowing he knew what he was doing. We would definitely recommend Valley Isle Excursions and specifically to request Spencer! The bus was also very comfortable.

The beauty on the Road to Hana tour is unbelievable! You are able to see parts of Maui that are not easily accessible on your own. The peace of mind and stress relief we got by letting Uncle Joe do the driving was worth every penny. Uncle Joe's friendly nature and his encyclopedia of knowledge was the best!! He will always be a special part of our Maui vacation.

Great experience & educational tour. Recommend water shoes for the beach & waterfall. Beautiful views.
Kristine_H, Aug 2025
The experience offers several great opportunities. We stopped at beaches, saw the painted trees, stopped at a waterfall were we could swim, a delicious lunch was provided, the road past a number of waterfalls, gorgeous scenery, and we stopped for the best banana bread. The road is very curvy and the person in our family who drives was able to enjoy this as much as the rest of us. We ended with seeing a large number of turtles.

Driver/guide Spencer did a great
Job of pointing out things only locals would know about. I’m glad I didn’t have to do the driving. Here’s also explained the proper etiquette for driving the Hana highway.

We had a great time on this tour. Travis was great! We got to do and see everything we wanted and then some.
Bruce_M, May 2025
Fantastic,
Spencer the driver was GREAT- friendly, accommodating, extremely knowledgeable , an awesome driver and having been born and raised here really helps. Valley Isle Excursions were great on the phone confirming pick up time, meal selections and answering a few questions. The food was good, stops well chosen and clean vehicles. Highly recommend..
Brian_L, Mar 2025
Seeing road to Hanna was great. Our guide, Ká Ipo, was great, very knowledgeable! The sights were amazing and many stops for pictures, snacks and souvenirs.
Will_R, Feb 2025
I decided on a one day island hop to Maui, and researched several different tours. I'm really thankful I chose Valley Isle! I highly recommend the tour to Hana. Paula was a great guide. They had local knowledge of Maui, along with what I felt like was all the essential stops to Hana. Breakfast and lunch were awesome. Also, staff for company were very friendly and went above and beyond to meet my individual needs. Given the same chose again I would choose Valley Ilse!
Sherreta_L, Jan 2025
A long but interesting tour. The food provided was definitely better than typical tour offerings. Also appreciated the vista to black sand beach and the freshwater pool!

Daniel, our guide, was excellent. He even had a soundtrack for the tour. He made the drive enjoyable which is hard to do bc the road to Hana is very windy. Lots of great stops to break it up and rest/restroom breaks. The waterfall is worth a swim, it’s amazing! We loved the tour very much.
Chip_H, Nov 2024
Tour was worth the money to not drive and to have pro tips on what to see and do. Paula was a great guide, van was comfortable, food was good. Plenty of stops. Some confusion about pick up time and location, so be sure you are clear.
Dan_C, Oct 2024
The stop at Waianapanapa State Park was AMAZING! The cliffs, black sand beach, blow holes, etc. we're so beautiful. Incredible Scenery!!
Also, the stop at the black rock beach with the waves crashing everywhere was awesome as well...and you get Aunt Sandy's famous Banana Bread there too.
Lastly, the stop at the North Shore where the views are great, and you get to see the surfers ride those big waves, and see a lot of Sea Turtles hanging out on shore together as well.
David_L, Oct 2024
Our driver and guide, Travis, was fantastic! We had numerous and memorable stops at local shops along our way which was exactly what we wanted. We learned about Hawaiian history culture and some words and phrases. It could not have been better. AND he is an incredible driver navigating a windy rode. We ALWAYS felt safe. Do yourself a favor. Book this tour and request Travis.
Brandi_K, Oct 2024
We had an amazing tour! Travis was a wonderful tour guide, and he gave us ample time at each location so we didn’t feel rushed. He took pictures of my family, and he told us lots of interesting facts about Hana. He even made an extra stop at the end so we could see the sea turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs!
Martin_H, Sep 2024
This is a must-do! We got so lucky and had Uncle Joe as our guide - he’s a true native Hawaiian and was so interesting to listen to. He was super experienced with the route and we felt very safe in his van. He stopped at all the best places and pointed out all of the vegetation and great spots to take pics. The breakfast and lunch were great and the scenery was amazing. Would 10/10 recommend!
Lisa_K, Sep 2024
Our driver, Dan was amazing!! Knew so much about the island and made many stops lang the way. My favorite was the black sand beach😍
Angela_L, Jul 2024
Our guide was beyond fabulous, and really made this an experience to remember for a lifetime. His passion for a knowledge of Maui was incredible, and made everything more impactful for all of us.
Rebecca_M, Jul 2024
Daniel was the most engaging and entertaining guide. It really felt that he was hosting us in his home. He was so knowledgeable and excited to share his world. It would be hard to pin down our favorite spot, but I guess it would be the waterfalls where we got to swim. What a day- we had a party of 11 ages 10-51 and everyone had an absolute blast!!
Andrea_C, Jun 2024
We had a great time on our road to Hāna tour. Yvonne was an amazing tour guide. Fortunately also we had a wonderful family on the tour. The trip was worth it , we had breakfast at a lovely plantation with great service and beautiful grounds. My only concern was I thought we were going to have lunch at a restaurant but the food was packed and served at a location by our tour guide.
Our amazing tour guide Yvonne made sure we had a great time together and we felt like a family on tour. Yvonne you’re the best 💞

This was the BEST Road to Hana tour I have ever experienced. Our tour guide, Joe ("Uncle"), made the entire trip. He was wonderful, knowledgeable, and kind. A true local - you can really tell how much he cherished the island; on every stop the people greeted him with so much love. Groups were small and intimate, so we were able to make bonds with other travelers (8 people in total for ours). We felt like a little family going on a road trip with Grandpa! One of my favorite things was learning about the diverse plant life; there were so many trees and flowers I had never known to exist or had seen before. Breakfast and lunch were fresh, healthy, and delicious. Other memorable stops included Aunty Sandy's Famous Banana Bread, the black sand beach at Wai'anapanapa State Park, and the freshwater waterfall where we plunged into 60 degree water 🥶 If you are considering doing a Road to Hana tour while in Maui, I strongly encourage you to consider booking with Valley Isle Excursions. Excellence from beginning to end.

The excursion on the Road to Hana is a must do! Request Travis as your driver, he’s a local guy who lived in Hana, knows its history and is well versed in the history of Hawaii and its culture; plus he’s fun to be with. He knows how to bring a group of strangers together, on a bus tour and they become “Ohana!”
The road has 54 one lane bridges and too many hairpin curbs to count. Be sure to look for waterfalls big and small and the black “diamond head snake.” Be sure to stop at Aunt Sandy’s Banana Bread, buy some it’s fresh and wonderful and very tasty. Enjoyed the black sand beach and swimming in the fresh water, waterfall. Our day is a trip to remember and Travis completed it with a peek at beached sea turtles and a winding down music selection of Somewhere Over the Rainbow 🌈.
Alyssa_S, Apr 2024
Great driver with uncle Joe! He showed us all the awesome spots and took care of us all day! Would recommend this tour
Trisha_S, Apr 2024
Highly recommend! I never would have been able to see and learn all the things our amazing driver Joe shared with us. He was extremely knowledgeable and made our day very enjoyable.
Russ_G, Apr 2024
Our driver, Travis, was excellent and he taught us Hawaiian. He pointed out waterfalls and gave us a lot of history of Hawaii
Cheyenne_M, Apr 2024
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and he pointed out so many hidden treasures on the road to Hana!
Kenneth_F, Mar 2024
Valley Isle Excursions, through our excellent guide, Travis, provided a well paced tour with important points of interest as well as the history of the island and state. Travis is extremely knowledgable and very personable, friendly and helpful. A wonderful experience.
Greg_S, Mar 2024
