The small group road to Hana tour with Mahalo Tours was excellent. Our tour guide was Larry and he was awesome! He was so knowledgeable about Maui and all of Hawaii. It was amazing how many types of flowers and vegetation he pointed out to us as well as historical facts. Larry was very engaging and it was obvious that he enjoys his jobs. He was personable and really “made” the trip. The tour was all that it was advertised to be. We saw SO much beauty. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Larry!

Great all-day excursion traveling to Hana - this part of the island is beautiful but not sure I would want to drive the local road on my own! Great to have a knowledgeable tour guide to share his knowledge of the sites and some Hawaiian history including cultural folklore.
Leslie_C, Apr 2026
Adam was great and very friendly and knowledgeable! He grew up in the area and had a lot of information to share.
Lawrence_S, Apr 2026
Louie was outstanding. Very knowledgeable of the area and the history. The trip was very enjoyable with allot of laughter.
Freddie_C, Apr 2026
Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. A very personable and pleasant experience. Our family enjoyed it so much! Thanks for making it a lovely day for our ohana, Larry!
Angelica_G, Apr 2026
It is a long day but well worth it! I definitely would not be confident enough to rent a car and drive😂 especially when you get an experienced, amazing driver and guide like Louie!! He was knowledgeable, funny, kind and love his laugh!! Thank you for the amazing experience!!
Tammy_L, Apr 2026
Glen was fantastic. He had a lot of historical information and was very friendly.
If you get motion sickness at all, take something before you go.
Sharon_B, Apr 2026
It’s worth it to book a tour! You get a skilled driver who knows all the history. A lot of fun beautiful stops!
Glen our driver was great!
Karen_M, Apr 2026
Great day! Ed was a terrific guide - he kept our van on the road and us entertained with lots of interesting information. Our tour wasn't able to go around the island, since a bridge was out, but we got to see the Road to Hana twice. Such a beautiful place!
Vishakha_P, Mar 2026
Tour is kind of Expensive, some excursions was close they should give some money back , driver was nice but the way he was taking n telling stories can’t here him proper, he give fruit n snack at most of stop , black sand beach was close he could have take on other stop like Hanauma bay , he say he can’t go their we stop to some water fall on way back , he did not stop when we are on way

Aloha
Mahalo for your review. Hanauma Bay Is on another island (Oahu) Waiʻānapanapa black sand beach (Maui) was close for a week for clean up because of the Maui flood, we advised every passenger via Viator’s email system of the closure and gave them the opportunity to cancel without penalty. Everything else was open and we made extra stops to compensate for the closure. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

Wonderful excursion with so many sights to see. Exceptional views and scenery. Louie was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. Hands down the best guide we've had. His driving on those narrow roads was exceptional.
Dale_O, Mar 2026
Beautiful scenery, not to be missed. As a passenger, I was able to enjoy the experience that I could not as a driver.
Terrill_S, Mar 2026
The views were spectacular and the driver was very good. The van we spent hours driving in, however, left much to be desired.
It was crowded and the seats were not at all comfortable. The step that you use to get in and out of the van very very narrow - perhaps it was partially broken off- and many had difficulty or slipped a bit getting in and out of the van - and you do that often.
Every time the driver went to open the door to let us in it out it took multiple times as it would be stuck.
The breakfast pastries and fruit were laughable.
Thank goodness for the views and congenial driver. Otherwise, for the price, and compared to the other vans etc we saw on the tour, I would be very upset.
I’ll have to chalk this up to experience and choose another provider on the future.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Aloha Mr. Sanchez,
Mahalo for your view on your recent Road to Hana Tour with us.
Please see our responses below:
Breakfast
We state on Viator’s site: our “Continental” breakfast includes pastries baked here on Maui in tropical flavors and fresh grown Maui fruit.” It is provided at different stops during the beginning of the tour to keep passengers from feeling nauseous due to the multiple curves / turns.
Maybe we differ on the definition of continental breakfast. I do apologize.
Bus
The bus is only 9 months old. The running board on the bus is the standard factory Ford Transit running board. Yes, it was wet, in the rainforest and it becomes somewhat slick. Most companies doing the Hana tour use the same exact Ford Transit vans with the same Factory installed running boards.
Crowded
We only take 8 passengers and all our buses are 14 passenger capacity so I’m not sure how this would be crowded. All the other companies maximize every seat and call it a small group tour. I’m not sure how it would be crowded with 6 empty seats. The width of the bus is standard for all vans/buses made by Ford and Mercedes Benz which are used for Tours and transportation I’m not sure how to respond.
We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations. We feel we fulfilled the tour that we described and advertised.

This was such an awesome experience. Our driver Adam was an absolute pleasure. He told us about the history of each stop and those along the way. We were provided breakfast and a delicious Huli Huli chicken lunch from Uncle Russell’s. We also had water and snacks. The views and history were breathtaking. I’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants to take the road and doesn’t want to drive. You get to take in the sights and enjoy your day.
Mary_S, Mar 2026
It is an experience! Our driver was “bruddah Louie”. At first, was not quite sure about him. He talked a lot about himself and how he lived on Maui. Louis did have a lot of good information. As the day went on, we realized he has a heart for Hawaii and all people. He would stop and share some of our snacks with the road crews, always having a cheerful word to say. His prayer for our lunch was filled with thanks and meaning! Needless to say, by the end of the tour, we were FANS! The road itself is a blend of inexpressible beauty and also danger! Am so glad there are guardrails on both sides. Louis gave us insights into the people and celebrities who live along the way. It is something we will long remember!
Another great Viator tour!
Jose_Y, Mar 2026
Beutiful scenery, great weather, great guide, very full trip, food was great, it takes a full day to do it
Kathleen_H, Mar 2026
It was a most beautiful ride along the coast line and through the mountains. Our tour guide was very informative, took care of us and fed us well. I would definitely recommend this tour. However, if you tend to get car sick, it is a very windy road.
Joanne_M, Feb 2026
Ask for Ilona. She is born and raised in Hana. We had the best tour with her personal touch. Felt like family. The sights are beautiful but her information and insider information made it special. Our lunch was at Uncle Russell's huli huli chicken shack and that was delicious. Ilona knows everyone and that personal touch made our tour, right down to the big hug at the end. Highly recommend.
CharlesMichael_W, Feb 2026
Driver Edd gave a very interesting educational and entertaining tour, food was good and waterfalls were amazing
Adriana_R, Feb 2026
Awesome!
This tour was fantastic! Our guide, Adam, was knowledgeable, professional, and amiable. He had the perfect personality for this job. Adam answered the questions we asked. He added his personal experiences, without making the tour about himself. He also made sure all our needs were fulfilled. We saw indescribable beauty, on our way to Hana and as we arrived to the park. It was breathtaking! This experience is by far one of the best we had on our trip to Hawaii!
Barbara_C, Feb 2026
A 60ish mile twisty trip with spectacular views. The day we traveled was a stormy day and still it was a great day. Thank you to our guide Louie.
Lorne_S, Feb 2026
Well curated, narrated and safely driven tour by Glenn. We had a great time, enjoyed his silly jokes and stories, and profited from his experience in where to stop and look. Terrific value, including delicious lunch and snacks.
kevin_f, Feb 2026
Bring something for travel sickness if that’s a problem for you. Lots of twisty turns Our tour driver Ed made the trip enjoyable. Knowledgeable in all things along the Hāna trail. Ed made the trip! Recommend.
Caryn_D, Feb 2026
Our guide Larry was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about all the wonderful places we visited. He knew so much important things had shared them well. The only negative part of the tour was that we weren’t able to visit all the places on the itinerary due to road closures.
marcsharonpetersusfa, Feb 2026
It's a long day. Extremely windy road. Made many stops, both for sites and bathroom break.
Glen was great and kept it moving.
John_S, Jan 2026
Many curves in the road. Many beautiful vistas. Very nice beaches with several varieties of sand. Breakfast snacks and lunch were very good. Our driver Ed was very informative during the drive.
Ellen_A, Jan 2026
Awesome day trip! Driver Louie was a wealth of knowledge & handled the many curves like a pro! Thanks
Jennisea_W, Jan 2026
Just magnificent! Louis was an exceptional guide and absolutely hilarious. I could have spent another day with him, he was that amazing. We saw all of the major sites. He was not pushy about time. He encouraged us to take long walks along the beach and he would just pick us up where we ended. He explained the history of Hawaii and Maui so eloquently. I will tell all of my friends and family that come to Maui to book this tour with Louis, that’s how incredible he is.
Karan_C, Jan 2026
I needed more bathroom breaks but otherwise it was a great trip. Ed was so helpful. He had water and fruit for treats.
Estella_W, Jan 2026
Excellent trip!! Larry was very knowledgeable, not only about Maui, but so many other topics! Best guide ever!! This SMALL group trip is definitely recommended.
Only negative was we were expecting a Continental Breakfast, but received a pastry several minutes into the trip. Had we known that, definitely would have eaten something before coming. Other than that, everything was really nice.
Eric_S, Jan 2026
our driver Louie was great. He learned our names and involved us in what to do. i especially like meeting pepole from Hana that he introduced us too. Lunch was awesome. my wife is Glueten free and they made her a great lunch. it was a great outing
