What a wonderful review to receive! There is so much to see and learn along the Road to Hāna, and we love being able to share the stories, history, and special places that make this journey unique. Knowing you were able to relax and truly enjoy the experience means so much to our team. Mahalo for spending the day with Hāna & Beyond!
The tour is very good. Beautiful stopping places..guide well informed. Relaxing amd comfortable. But it was a long tour of 12 hours plus. Be prepared with extra water and snacks, towels and water shoes for swim options.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing both what you enjoyed and your helpful tips for future travelers! The Road to Hāna is truly a full-day adventure, with so much to experience along the way. Our guides work hard to make that time comfortable, informative, and worthwhile while giving guests opportunities to enjoy some of Maui’s most beautiful places. Coming prepared for a long day is great advice, especially if you plan to take advantage of the swim stops. Mahalo for joining Hāna & Beyond!
It was awesome. For the first time I get to relax while someone else drives and I get to enjoy the sceneries.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
It sounds like this wasn’t your first time on the Road to Hāna, but this time you finally got to experience it from the passenger seat! It’s amazing how different the journey feels when you can look out the window, take in the scenery, and leave the driving to someone else. That’s one of the experiences we love giving our guests—the chance to simply enjoy the road. Mahalo for spending the day with Hāna & Beyond!
I had such an amazing experience with Hana and Beyond’s Rainbow Forest Tour to Hana! It was absolutely worth the price, and everything was so well organized. Our guide, Maka, was incredible—very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He shared so much interesting information and made the whole experience fun and memorable. Definitely one of the highlights of my Maui trip! 🌺
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Knowing that our Rainbow Forest Tour became one of the highlights of your Maui vacation means so much to us! From the team working behind the scenes to the guides sharing Maui with our guests each day, we put a lot into creating an experience that feels organized, personal, and worth the investment. Maka is a wonderful example of the knowledge, professionalism, and aloha our guides bring to every tour. Mahalo for trusting Hāna & Beyond with a day of your Maui vacation!
The trip was amazing. Relaxing, fun and informative. Junior did an amazing job taking care of everything and showing us a great time.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you (Mahalo) for your wonderful review! We're beyond excited to hear Junior made your day so enjoyable. There's nothing better than being able to sit back, take in the incredible views, and let someone else handle the details. We're grateful you chose to spend your Hāna adventure with us and hope to see you again soon!
Wow!! This was an absolutely amazing beautiful journey, we highly recommend! We absolutely loved outer tour guide, so knowledgeable and had such a calm demeanor keeping us all at ease the entire trip. Do yourself a favor and book this!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Mahalo for your glowing review! We're so happy you had such an incredible journey. It's wonderful to hear your guide's knowledge and calming presence helped make the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for your recommendation! We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back to Maui again soon!
What an absolute gem of a tour! Kim was a fantastic tour guide and expert Hana Trail navigator. She blessed us with innumerable facts, stops and treats along the way. We experienced Turtles, Cows, Chickens, Wind Surfers, a bazillion trees and fauna, waterfalls so cold it took our breath away when we jumped in. Fresh banana bread, disgusting fresh cocoa pod that she shared with us (but you gotta try it at least once right?!) and the provided sandwiches are actually legit and fantastic. Not those prison sandwiches you get on most tours like this.
We cannot recommend this tour enough to anyone looking for a full day of exploration that Includes lava field beaches, black sand beaches that you will find in your naughty bits 2 days later but so worth it.
Go to Hana and you will be glad you did. 5 stars.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
This review definitely gave us a smile! From the cold waterfall swim and fresh banana bread to the cocoa pod you may have immediately regretted trying, it sounds like you embraced every part of the adventure! The Road to Hāna is full of those unexpected moments that often become the best stories afterward. We’re glad Kim helped make your day such a memorable one, and we’re proud to continue that tradition with a team of knowledgeable local guides who each bring their own personality, stories, and aloha to the journey. Mahalo for the five stars and for such an unforgettable recommendation of Hāna & Beyond!
Our driver Carlos was great, he made the trip even better. He taught us a lot about the Hawaiian culture. We saw so many great places today!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We’re so happy to hear your day was filled with beautiful places, great memories, and a deeper appreciation for Hawaiʻi! Sharing the history and culture of our island is an important part of the experience our guides strive to provide. Mahalo for choosing Hāna & Beyond and for allowing our team to be part of your time on Maui!
This was a lovely tour, but unfortunetly we had gerog and he went on alot about the history of hawaii and at times provuded incorrect information.
He definately liked to hear his own voice.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Mahalo for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the tour itself enjoyable. Georg is a valued and knowledgeable member of our guide team, and we’re very confident in what he brings to the Road to Hāna experience. Our guides each have their own personalities and storytelling styles, and we understand that every style may not be the perfect fit for every guest. We appreciate you spending the day with Hāna & Beyond and taking the time to share your perspective.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Corey as a guide. He has so much knowledge of the region and enthusiasm! The Hana Hwy is extremely challenging with very narrow roads. It was comforting knowing we had such an experienced guide. The views are spectacular and I’m so glad we did the tour.
Recommendations: you will definitely want water shoes to experience a couple stops. Hand sanitizer is also highly recommended. Also, don’t make any plans afterwards…it was a fully packed day!! Thanks for a fantastic experience!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
There’s something special about being able to enjoy the Road to Hāna without having to concentrate on every curve, bridge, and narrow stretch of road! Corey’s knowledge and enthusiasm are a great reflection of the experienced guides we’re proud to have on our team. We want our guests to feel comfortable, learn something along the way, and have the freedom to simply take in everything Maui has to offer. And we agree—a day in Hāna deserves the whole day! Mahalo for the great recommendations and for choosing Hāna & Beyond!
The road to Hana is the most lush , jungled exquisite road on entire island . Kim , our tour operator was amazing . Her knowledge and wealth of information about Maui's culture , history and Hana fauna . She was so friendly and answered everyone’s questions . It truly was a full day of wonder , meaningful knowledge and a lot of fun !!!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
A full day of wonder, knowledge, and fun is exactly what we want our guests to take away from the Road to Hāna! There is so much more to this journey than the incredible scenery—the culture, history, plants, and stories along the way are what bring Hāna to life. We’re glad Kim helped make your experience such a memorable one. That tradition continues today with our team of knowledgeable guides who love sharing Maui and making each journey meaningful, personal, and fun. Mahalo for choosing Hāna & Beyond!
Georg was very knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch was great.
It did rain but my goodness it was gorgeous!
We almost didn’t do the tour but on our last day, we’re so glad we did!
Bring water shoes and toilet paper just in case!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We’re especially happy you decided to join us on your last day! A little rain along the Road to Hāna can make the waterfalls, rainforest, and scenery even more spectacular. Georg’s knowledge and friendly personality are exactly why he’s such a valued part of our guide team, and we love hearing that you enjoyed your day with him. Sometimes the adventure you almost skip becomes one of the best memories of the trip! Mahalo for choosing Hāna & Beyond—and those are some great tips for future travelers!
Got to spend over an hour at Wai’anapanapa park which was the best part! Great tour guide/driver Maka, very organized, funny and told us lots of Hawaiian history/facts. Best day in Maui!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Mahalo for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that your time at Waiʻānapanapa was the highlight of your day. Having over an hour to explore gives guests the opportunity to slow down, take in the scenery, and truly appreciate this beautiful part of the Hana coastline.
Maka’s humor, organization, and knowledge of Hawaiian history and culture can add so much depth to the journey. The Road to Hana is about more than simply getting from one place to another—it’s about the stories, landscapes, communities, and experiences along the way.
For anyone considering a Hana adventure, this review is a great glimpse of what to expect: a well-paced day, meaningful time at key stops, and the opportunity to learn more about Maui while experiencing its natural beauty. We’re grateful to be part of an experience that also supports the local Hana and Maui community and the vendors and small businesses that make this area so special.
Mahalo again for spending your day with us and for sharing your experience with future Maui visitors!
Junior, a true local, was amazing. He gave us insight and a perspective about Maui that really made us feel like we understood it beyond what normal tourists are exposed to.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Mahalo for sharing this thoughtful review. Having a true local like Junior guide the day can offer a perspective of Maui that goes well beyond the usual sightseeing experience. The stories, history, and personal insight shared along the way can give you a much deeper appreciation for the island and its communities.
We’re grateful to hear that the experience helped you connect with Maui on a more meaningful level. The Road to Hana is about more than beautiful scenery—it’s also an opportunity to learn about the people, culture, history, and places that make East Maui so unique.
Thank you for spending part of your Maui journey with us and for recognizing the value of experiencing Hana through a local perspective. We truly appreciate your support of our Hana community and the local businesses and people who make this experience possible.
Junior was a fantastic tour guide. We were able to see so much more of the island as well as learn so many fun tidbits from a local.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hearing that you were able to see more of Maui while also getting those fun local tidbits is exactly what makes a guided journey so memorable. Mahalo for sharing your experience and for the kind words about Junior.
A local perspective can add so much to the scenery, whether it’s a bit of history, a story about a place along the route, or one of those little details you might otherwise drive right past. It sounds like Junior helped bring that extra layer to your day.
We appreciate you choosing to explore the island with us and supporting a locally rooted Hana experience. Thank you for taking the time to share your review.
Great tour guide. The experience was awesome. A must do on tour trip to Maui. The views were breathtaking.
Wonderful trip. Our driver and guide was full of humor and knowledge.
We traveled comfortably with a Ford van, and the food was good .

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope the memories stay with you! It is definitely a full day and we’re glad the stunning scenery made the journey worthwhile.
This was an amazing tour! Our guide was incredible and wanted to show us as much as possible! Highly recommended
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and that your guide helped make the day so memorable. Sharing the beauty of Hāna and its surroundings is what we love to do, and it’s wonderful to know you had such a positive experience.
Thank you for recommending us!
Our guide did an excellent job guiding us through the road to Hana. We really appreciated the whole trip
Good trip but the total time less than what we expected, it would’ve been much better if the trip was longer for the money spent
Writing this review following an exceptional experience with our tour guides. We were led by Emma, and another local guide who was being trained by her. Both guides were immensely knowledgeable, passionate about the land, and seemed to be wonderful people. The scenery was beautiful, the driving was skillful, and the stops were thoughtful. We absolutely loved our tour with them, and would give the highest recommendation for others to book with Hana and Beyond. I think this tour would not have been as meaningful had it been with another tour group with less deep ties to Maui and Hana. 5 stars without reservation.
The tour took us on a beautiful drive to Hana. We stopped at several scenic locations on route and enjoyed swimming on the black sand beach. The driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. The small van made the trip more personal as it gives you the opportunity to share experiences with fellow travellers. We would have liked a little more time to enjoy some of the stops, the tour finished quite early in the afternoon.
Very good tour! We had Lei as our guide! She was very informative, friendly, and a great driver. We have driven the Road to Hana ourselves previously 2 times. This trip we decided to do the tour so we could just sit and enjoy the ride. It was so nice just to sit back, relax and let someone else take the wheel. We got to see a lot of things that we missed by driving ourselves. It was well worth it!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Mahalo for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Lei, she’s an amazing guide and driver. It’s great to hear that you were able to relax and experience new sights, even after doing the Road to Hana before. Mahalo for choosing us, it truly means a lot!
If you are prone to motion sickness, you might want to take something before hand. Other then that, prepare to be amazed.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Great advice! Motion sickness can sneak up on you during the drive, so taking something beforehand is definitely a smart move. Other than that, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Calvin gave us lots of great information about the sites we were seeing and other things about the volcano and Rainbow falls. He offered to take photos for groups, answered questions, and was very thoughtful in assisting people as needed. Wished we had time to do his coffee tour, but when he heard that no one was able to do that gave us a shortened but very interesting info. We were hoping for lava flow but it had happened earlier and he shared some pictures of other flows. We really enjoyed our time with him. Carol and Gene
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Mahalo for your wonderful review, Carol and Gene! Just to clarify, was this tour with another company? We don’t have a guide named Calvin on our team. Regardless, it sounds like you had a fantastic experience. Glad you had a great time!
I found the tour, very informative and extremely interesting. We saw so many things and learned much. It was a bit long for me, but I’m really glad I did
Response from Host, Jun 2025
It’s great to hear it was a rewarding experience for you. Mahalo for your review!
This Road to Hana tour was absolutely amazing! We had such a good time with Lei as our tour guide. She made the trip memorable and exciting providing us with historical information and fun facts. She stopped at various points interest along the way and we even went swimming in the waterfalls. Thanks again for everything Lei!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had such an incredible time on the Road to Hana tour. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the historical insights, fun facts, and the opportunity to swim in the waterfalls. We’re glad the experience left such a lasting impression. Thanks again for choosing Hana and Beyond Tours, and we look forward to welcoming you on another adventure in the future!
My daughter and I went on this tour and it did not disappoint. The scenery and experiences were outstanding. Beginning at the pick up to our drop off we were entertained with games, facts, scenery, and adventures. Our driver Lei was amazing and made the adventure fabulous!!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Mahalo for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that Lei made your Road to Hāna experience special with her aloha spirit and knowledge of the area. Her passion for sharing the beauty of Maui really shines through, and we're glad she kept you engaged throughout the journey. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again on another adventure! Aloha and mahalo! 🌺😊
The Road to Hana is beautiful with stunning waterfalls, lush rainforests, and breathtaking coastal views. Be prepared for a long and winding journey and the weather. Our guide shared great info about areas we stopped at. If you're easily carsick I would not recommend. The roads are very curvy and can be tough at times (luckily our driver knew how to handle them). Our weather was beautiful until the way back when it poured. This is a worthwhile experience if you love nature and don't mind a day of driving. I would definitely recommend doing research beforehand to decide if it's the right fit for you.

Mahalo for your thoughtful review! The Road to Hāna is truly a breathtaking journey, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the stunning waterfalls, lush rainforests, and coastal views.

Weather in Hāna can be unpredictable, but it sounds like you made the most of it and embraced the experience. We agree that this tour is perfect for nature lovers who don’t mind a full day of exploring. Mahalo for recommending us, and we hope to see you on another Maui adventure! 🌺😊🚐
