It was a very enjoyable and entertaining tour.. Jimmy, the driver into and guide was very knowledgeable and we appreciated the information he shared with us about the history and culture of the island. Well worth the time to take this tour with Shaka Tours and Jimmy.

The driver was very informative and made everyone feel welcomed to the island. The rain didn't slow down or effect the experience
Mahalo for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear your driver made everyone feel welcome and shared meaningful insights along the way. A little Maui rain often adds to the atmosphere, and we’re happy it didn’t slow down your West Maui sightseeing experience. Thank you for choosing Shaka Tours Maui, and we hope to host you again for another open-air shuttle adventure with our Maui tour company.
Don't waste your time on this tour...more time on the road, very little time at the stops...really not much to see not even the sunset...rent a car and go sightseeing for yourself
Mahalo for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations. Our late-afternoon tour is designed as a guided sightseeing experience focused on West Maui history, scenery, and cultural context, and while it often takes place during twilight hours, it is not advertised as a dedicated sunset tour or sunset stop. Our itinerary balances scenic driving with curated stops, allowing guests to see areas that are difficult to navigate on their own while learning about the island along the way. We understand that some travelers prefer the flexibility of self-driving, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We’re always working to improve and thank you for choosing Shaka Tours Maui.
Absolutely wonderful outing! We saw fantastic sights and learned things about the Islands. Every visitor should do this tour, it's well worth your time!
Guys, this was so fun! The bus makes it so easy to look at views and not worry about driving. It’s like driving a Jeep with the doors off!! You get to see so many spots and learn amazing things about the islands. I can’t recommend this enough as an easy experience to see the island and great views! You pull over a few times and get to snap some great pictures! Our driver was the best. He was so chill and nice!! (P.S make sure you add time in your schedule for the parking situation) I’m dropping photos below!
Mahalo for joining us and for such a fun review! We’re so glad you loved the open-air experience — that “Jeep with the doors off” feeling is exactly what we aim for on our Shaka Tours Maui adventures. It’s the perfect way to enjoy Maui’s incredible views without worrying about the drive, and our guides love making it a relaxed, informative, and photo-filled ride. Thanks for mentioning the parking tip too — that’s super helpful for future guests! We appreciate you sharing your photos and kind words about your driver. Hope to see you again for another West Maui sightseeing day full of sunshine, ocean breezes, and great memories!

Highly recommend this tour. Amazing scenic experience and very knowledgeable driver. Comfortable transport and the natural air conditioning was great on a warm day. Lyft or Uber will cost you around $US140 round trip from cruise port and about 50 minutes each way.
