Perfect Day

You have an opportunity to jump in the water at two of the waterfalls so wear your suit and bring a towel.

Perfect experience for us.

The halfway to Hana was perfect. We saw many beautiful waterfalls, eucalyptus trees, bamboo trees, and enjoyed some Hawaiian banana bread. We also stopped at a beach and saw over 40 turtles. Watched the surfers in the ocean enjoying the day. It was a wonderful experience.

A must do

Great trip highly recommend. Our guide Eli was just wonderful. From the time we got picked up he gave us info on the various towns we passed thru and the history. He was very knowledgeable of all the vegetation in the area and pointed out great views along the way. Small group very comfortable van and skilled driver.

Great way to see remote areas of Maui

Very comfortable touring van and Eli was a great guide— friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing views of the ocean alternating with numerous inland waterfalls. It was a lot of riding on twisty, mountainous roads, so if you’re inclined to car sickness be forewarned. But definitely better than trying to navigate that route ourselves in a rental car. We felt safe with Eli at the wheel and he knew all the roadside spots for the best beauty shots. It was a fun day, we got great photos and we really learned a lot!

Eli is wonderful

Eli was a great guide. He shared lots of great stories ( both personal and historical) and was a great driver, too! The bus was super clean and very nice. It seats 12 very comfortably. The agenda may have been a bit ambitious, though. Eli was careful to get us back on time for those with dinner activities. I understand that this activity was “Hana Lite”. However, I would have traded 40 minutes at the taco stand for a chance to walk in the waterfalls instead of just taking pictures. Overall, still a nice day.

Eli was great! Very safe...

Eli was great! Very safe driver. Made sure we had beverages to drink. Very informative. Only downfall for this tour is that you can’t really stop to take pictures on the “half road” to Hana and you only get 20 minutes to swim in the falls—half of that time is used to change in the bathroom. So I didn’t go into the water. Other than that I felt we rushed back because we had to get anther couple back to their destination in time. The stop we made by the rocks to look at the ocean was beyond beautiful! But that was the only highlight. I think next time I’d rather pay for a private tour or do the regular road to Hana tour for more time.

No waterfall

Our guide was very nice; however, we were advised before the trip to bring water shoes because we’d be visiting a waterfall, but during the tour, our guide informed us that the halfway trip doesn’t include that stop. My feet never touched any water, just wish they had been honest in email so we could set expectations with our family/pack less.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed your guide. We’re sorry for the confusion around the waterfall stop and understand how that can affect expectations and packing plans. Our half-day tour does include a waterfall stop when conditions allow. However, weather, road access, or safety considerations can occasionally make that stop unavailable on a given day. We’re working to communicate this more clearly in advance so guests know what to expect. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to clarify this for future travelers.
