Lisa was absolutely amazing! She was kind, cheerful, and took her time to make sure every guest felt welcomed and appreciated. She also shared so much interesting information about Hawaii and the legends of the land, which made the experience even more special. If I ever travel here again, I would definitely look for Lisa as my tour guide. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! 🌺🌊

Lisa was hands down the best tour guide we have ever had. Full of energy from the start, she immediately treated us like ohana—her "kids." Throughout the tour, she shared incredible stories about Maui, the history of the island's unique trees, and local lore that kept everyone completely engaged.
The culinary highlights were unforgettable: we tasted fresh strawberry guava straight off the tree, sampled different varieties of bananas, enjoyed local banana bread, and tasted chocolate straight from the field. It was obvious in everything she did that she genuinely wanted us to experience the very best of Maui.
Lisa told us at the beginning of the tour that we were a family now, and we better act like it! She had a wonderful way of bringing everyone together to share and connect, and by the end of the day, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye to both her and our new friends. An absolute must-do experience!.
Our tour was absolutely amazing! We were split between two vans for my group of 22 and everybody had an absolutely amazing time! Our drivers/tour guides were absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable! Jason and Malu-amazing job pleasing 22 friends and family members! It’s a very long day, but you guys made it pass by so smoothly! Top-notch tour company! I’m sending more family there next month and I’m requesting these drivers for sure!
Lisa was an excellent tour guide and driver. She shared so much of her experience and knowledge with us. Her sense of humor and fun helped to make the trip. She was great!
Highly recommend this tour!
Our guide Jayson was awesome. He made the trip more interesting with his knowledge of the road and the local places.
Would have loved a better guide who talked more and gave more history and information. Also lunch was a soggy sandwich only and it wasn’t very good. We threw about half of it away and ate some crackers we brought. Then like 45 minutes later in the van he gave us chips and a cookie. Would have been nice to have that with lunch and not while driving a winding road. Personally eating like that makes me car sick. So just brought back with us. Also texting us the day before with a specific dollar amount for gratitudes was just tacky.
Our guide Mark was outstanding! He is knowledgeable about the plants, the area, and tried to engage with each guest!
You will make several stops so bathroom breaks are available. There will be food stands that promote the Hawaiian culture. You will want to take lots of pictures so have plenty of charge on your devices. Its okay to get wet you'll have time to dry. It was better to leave the roads to the professionals so you can enjoy the ride. Water shoes were better than sandals.
Our great tour guide with a lot of knowledge of Maui. The stops were beautiful and worth seeing. Take the opportunity to view Hana.
Dell was a great driver. So much knowledge about Hana and the rest of Hawaii. Knows the road like the back of his hand. We talked to some other hotel guest that drove themselves in a rental car and they had some tense moments. My wife was nervous but after the trip she was so glad we saw this beautiful part of Maui. Waterfalls, Beautiful views, Black sand Beach. On the way back we stopped and watched surfers and wind surfers at a public beach that also had like 50 Sea turtles just laying on the beach. Dell made it it a great day. #TEAMDELL
Our tour started with guide rudely telling us we are not in correct pick up spot (I double checked emails and never told to meet at back of hotel as he stated). Guide knowledgeable about island but started repeating information as tour went on. Guide never answered questions asked so group decided he must not hear well. Wanted his information told nothing more. Lastly van was in rough shape and air did not work. Very hot in van that made trip very uncomfortable to say the least. Would not recommend.
11 plus hours mainly sitting in the bus.’ The tour driver was not the friendly type. A former teacher who lectured us for hours on end, and was very anti American mainlanders. Most of the sites were simply drive by and I believe we only had 4 stops. This was the first bad experience we had in a week. Definitely not worth the time and cost.
This tour is a great way to see Hana. We appreciated the expert driving through the winding roads and hidden stops, especially the waterfalls and hour at the black sand beach state park. Our tour guide, Dell, was excellent.
The only heads up I can give is to expect to be picked up first (6:00 am) and dropped off last if you’re staying in Ka’anapali / Lahaina, which makes it a long day.
The tour description also advertises seeing Jaws, a famous surf spot. We learned on the tour you actually can’t see Jaws easily, so we just saw the entrance to the beach on this tour.
I learned more than I expected of Hawaii culture, beliefs and history of the region and how the island has changed.
Jason’s pure and genuine nature was very refreshing and added to the energy of the day.
Upon completion of our day he sent links for great spots to hit and the local music lists I enjoyed all day.

Great trip - Lisa was wonderful. We stopped at quite a few places that I probably would not have thought to stop if we made the trip by ourselves. Amazing!
Very curvy roads, glad driver was experienced! There were several opportunities for bathroom & snack breaks
Jason was an awesome guide. We had an amazing time. He is very knowledgeable and adds his local knowledge to enhance the experience.
It was very informative. The sights were awesome. Lisa Parker was an excellent tour guide. She kept calling everyone on the van her family. It really felt like a family going sightseeing.
Sites were beautiful! Road was crazy, glad we weren’t driving it ourselves. Interesting history from our guide. Just a different atmosphere from the guide. Music was a bit loud in between him talking and showing us things. Bus was a bit small for older people getting in and out. Overall neat trip.
The tour was great and so was Christopher, our guide and driver! I had to take one star off however. I felt that the tour was rushed, and may have even skipped a stop or two. Due to the inclusion of a couple from a cruise ship, it started late and finished early in order to accommodate their schedule. Not really fair to the other eleven people on the tour!
Lisa was amazing! She knew all the people at the local spots and did a great job telling us the history of Hāna. She was a good driver too!
Jason our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience very memorable we had a great time he had great stories and shared so much of the island’s stories with us
I'm glad I didn't drive the road to Hana on my own. The tour was advertised as a maximum of 6 people and my tour had 12 in a crowded van. Lisa our tour guide is a local and gave us good insights on the area. She took us to a waterfall and showed us where to swim, which I wouldn't have done on my own. The sandwiches were pretty good. The day of the tour was a long day so I recommend a good night's sleep the night before.
It was a great tour. Our tour guide Clarissa was knowledgeable and very connected to the island. She made the trip informational and also fun. The stops along the way were beautiful and so scenic and breathtaking- there are places to pick up snacks/food and souvenirs along the way. It is a long day trip so be prepared- it's definitely worth it!
This was worth every penny. Lisa, our tour guide was so very accommodating and just a delight to spend the day with. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we were all enjoying our time with her. This tour will be our most fondest memory from this trip.
This is the only way to travel the road to Hana. Our driver/tour guide, Anthony made the trip so much fun. He gave us a lot of information on the history of Maui and the vegetation along the way. His friendly personality and ability to bring everyone into the conversations helped us form a bond with the other passengers on the van, He also stopped a few places that were not listed, when we told him we wanted to see something, still getting us back on time. We also had a great dinner afterwards thanks to his recommendations, Anyone who is considering this tour I say do it and if you get Anthony count on a great time.
This tour is a MUST when visiting Maui. Our tour guide, Jason Frias, was so great about respectfully keeping us on schedule while giving is time to experience each stop. He gave us a wealth of knowledge along the way and added charm and personality to the experience. I am so glad we had his driving skills guiding the road also, as I can see how it can be tricky for non-locals to navigate. The sights along the way are stunning, and we enjoyed local fare along the way at the different stands. We are still thinking about that banana bread!!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our Road to Hāna tour. Jason is our wonderful tour guide. He picked us up from our resort. This tour has about 8 stops. Jason explained the history of each one and he does not rush us to the next. There is a waterfall with a pool that we can swim in. Of course we stopped by the Sandy’s banana bread place. This banana bread is very moist and the ube cookies there are also tasty. Jason took us to a fruit stand and the owner also made dark chocolate from scratch. My favorite is the black sand beach park where we stay for over an hour to enjoy our lunch and walk around the black sand beach. We also enjoyed the restaurant at the town of Hāna where we can get pizza and hibiscus lilikoi drink. Jason even stopped our van along the way and removed a fallen branch from the heavy rain👍. He also refers us to restaurants and other places to visit for our stay. I highly recommend Jason to any Maui tour because he is so familiar with this island.
Such a fun time with Mahluhia, she was incredibly knowledgeable about everything! And that truly made the experience top notch! It was such a relaxing time watching the most beautiful views with the best tour guide!

This is definitely a must see when in Maui! Beautiful surroundings & incredible sites to experience. Jason from Aloha Sunshine tours was an awesome guide equipped with great knowledge of the island & its history! He included some very fun & delightful stops. He is also an excellent driver & has a great sense of humor! I definately recommend the private tour & the BBQ picnic lunch.
