Privat vej til Hana Tour

Amazing experience exploring Hana. The rainforest region is beautiful and our guide provided was knowledgeable and passed his love of the region to us through the sites, sounds, and experiences of all things Hana.

Demian/Makana Maui Adventures was the perfect guide for our family. We had spoken with him before our trip and it was very clear that he listened to and understood everything we discussed with him. We spent four amazing days with Demian. First we did the two day trip to Hana, one day going to Hana, an overnight there, and an incredible exciting day driving back. We experienced much, much more than we would have been able to if we had opted for the one day trip there and back. After that we had two wonderful days exploring the northwestern part of Maui and Mt. Haleakala. We are very active 70 year olds traveling with our 18 and 19 year old grandsons. Demian took us to places we never would have gone on our own; each day was thrilling and fun-filled. Demian is extremely flexible and great fun to be with. He has extensive knowledge of Maui (and of all of Hawaii) and loves to share it. All four of us had an amazing time; we could not have asked for anything more.

Absolutely incredible. I had initially booked this because I really wanted to hike the pipiwai trail and you CAN do that if you want, however its almost 6 hrs to go around all Haleakala so, you will be spending the majority of your time driving to the 2 hour hike, and then driving back. Keone asked us what our goals were and we decided it would be best to let a local tell us what he recommends and I'm so glad we did. We didn't hike pipiwai, and instead we got to go swimming in 2 different waterfalls, 1 was almost private with no one else there, we got to stop for snacks, eat a coconut, explore a cave with no one else there, which was probably the coolest part, climb a Banyan tree, see the rainbow trees, and stop several times to see everything from tide pools with sea cucumbers, to try deep fried poi(so delicious) to watching more waterfalls and even hiked through a bamboo forest, again with no one else there. He took photos along the way, told us about the plants and the history of the land. We even got to stop to eat the best fish burger ever at a restaurant in Hana. And no stress about driving the road to Hana. It was probably the best part of our entire stay in Maui. I will definitely book it again with Keone next time we visit. He was amazing! Mahalo Keone for making our honeymoon so private and wonderful! We loved your company and hope to see you again soon!

We did a Private Hidden Gems Rainforest tour with kids ages 15, 13 and 12. Demian (tour company owner) was our guide. We had an AMAZING day. The hikes were challenging and adventurous and the waterfalls we saw were amazing. We hiked to 3 separate waterfalls/swimming holes and, at each location, we were the only people there. We also stopped at a beach, in a small town for snacks and amazing coastal views. Demian was a tremendous tour guide. We really enjoyed visiting with him throughout the day. He was knowledgeable of Hawaiian history and the local plants. He was a calm presence who encouraged our kids to try fun and exciting jumps and rope swings. He kept the tour moving but also allowed us plenty of time to enjoy each spot. Demian can customize any tour but if you want an exciting, challenging and adventurous day that maximizes time immersed the beauty of Hawaii, the Hidden Gems Rainforest tour is for you!!

The customization was crucial to our decision and Demian made it just perfect for our desires. We would do it again and again!

Mahalo nui loa Demian! This adventurous day of Road to Hana wouldn’t have been as unique without you. We traveled with our 15 year old son and loved every minute of it. He learned so much just about the island and its history/surroundings just from our travel time with Demian. We went in with no expectations or requests and let Demian take us to all his favorite spots. What a day, what epic views & what memories we will forever cherish. From the lava tubes to the baby pigs, Hana has so much to offer. It’s a long day but worth it from beginning to end!

While I didn’t go myself, I booked this tour for my clients (I’m a travel agent). They raved about the Private Road to Hana tour for months! I’ve used a couple of companies for my clients but Makana Maui Adventures make me look good every time! Now I only use them. Special Shout out to Zak, he’s been mentioned by name! And Damien the owner who I spoke to personally to organize was so kind and helpful! Thanks so much!

Was a great day. It was awesome to see all that we did. We decided there's not enough time in one day to see everything so plan to come back in the future to explore more of the island. Damien was great showed us some amazing places totally worth it.

Many thanks to Zak for a wonderful day for our family of seven (ranging in age from tween to in their seventies). First of all, driving this road is a specialized skill in and of itself. Zak did a fantastic job. He knew exactly where to pull over at different sites so that we were safe, and once you experience being there you will understand how crucial this is. There was so much beauty on this tour--beaches, plants and animals, a cave, waterfalls, Hawaiian Home Land communities, and small businesses that showcase some of the wonderful goods that come from Maui. There was something for everyone. Zak was very knowledgeable and warm, and we enjoyed learning from him.

My wife and I took a private overnight tour to Hana with Makana Maui Adventures. Our guide was Zak and he was fabulous! We had a running commentary during the trip of what we were seeing as well as Hawaiian history. We stopped at two waterfalls to go swimming and he went in with us. He was able to show us, not just tell us, how best to approach the falls. Because it was a private tour we were able to stop when and where we wanted to and stay as long as we wanted. He was also able to stop at different roadside attractions that larger groups would not be able to go to. We had a great time and would highly recommend Makana Maui Adventures. As an aside I very rarely write reviews so when I do it is either highly appreciative or highly critical and here I can’t say enough good things about Zak and the company.
