We had a nice time on our day tour of the road to Hans. Our guide Georg was very knowledgeable.
Tour agency provided clear communication about pick up procedures and what to expect on tour. Guide flexed their schedule to accommodate late arrival of ship. Junior was a good guide who shares stories of the area and told us when to expect great picture spots. We drove the road to Hana in previous trip. The driver missed out on much of the scenery. This tour remedied that dilemma. Highly recommend this tour.
We recently did the Road to Hana tour and overall, the tour itself was good. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and being in the van for about five hours is really the only way to safely take in everything along the way. It truly is a stunning drive and worth experiencing. That said, our guide, Georg, was not local and spent much of the drive repeating lengthy stories about Maui’s history, including what he described as “non-published” history. While some background information is appreciated, it felt excessive and repetitive at times. The Road to Hana is incredible and I’m glad we went, but personally, I wouldn’t choose Georg as a tour guide again.
We survived the 30 miles of winding roads with Over 600 curves n turns to Hāna . We stopped by several tourist spots , beautiful beaches, waterfall and rugged cliffs . We were very happy with Charlie , our tour guide . He is a very safe driver and a wonderful story telling tour guide . We totally enjoyed listening to all his tales . Thanks Charlie .
Emma was very knowledgeable and peppered the facts about the area with local information. She was friendly and answered our questions openly. She warned us ahead of time about photo opportunities so that we could get ready. This shows her knowledge and appreciation that we don’t want to miss things.
We took a fantastic tour with “Local Boy”! He is a very friendly and professional guide, and I was impressed with his knowledge of the island and Hawaiian culture. You can tell his native roots run deep! He is an excellent driver and navigated the Road to Hana with ease. Views were amazing! The black sand beach is not to be missed. Lunch was a large, hoagie-type sandwich with plenty of meat – both my husband and I were only able to eat about half of it. Pre-tour communication was great, the van was clean and comfortable, and we made it back to the port on time. All-in-all, a wonderful day with Hana and Beyond.
Very personal… native guide. Small group and he learned everyone’s name at the start of the trip. Highly recommended!
Mahalo for your feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It is great to hear that you enjoyed having your guide lead the day and bring everything to life. Our smaller group setting is intentional, as it creates space for more meaningful connections to the stories, places, and traditions shared along the way. We are grateful you were able to experience that on your tour. It is especially rewarding to know that the genuine spirit of the experience came through. That is something we value deeply and are proud to share with every guest.
This was my favorite excursion during our Maui port stop. Kim was so informative and provided the group with facts throughout the entire drive. She kept us engaged and you could tell she prioritized our safety. I loved the smaller group size which I believed made the experience that much greater. This was a birthday I will remember forever! I would highly recommend this excursion.
Happy Birthday! Mahalo for choosing to spend part of your birthday with us, that means so much! We’re thrilled to hear your day along the Road to Hāna was memorable, engaging, and felt safe and personal. Our small group style is designed exactly for experiences like yours, where guests can truly enjoy the journey together. We appreciate your recommendation and hope Maui continues to celebrate you long after your special day!
Great day out. Our guide Kim was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the key sights and got us back to the port on time. Highly recommend.
Aloha and mahalo for your review. We’re glad to hear you had a great day exploring the Road to Hāna and enjoyed visiting all the key sights along the way, while making it back to the port smoothly. It’s wonderful to know the tour met your expectations. Mahalo!
