Highly recommend
We were sad to miss black rock beach, but Pete made up for it. He was very knowledgeable, shared lots of information, and had a wonderful fun attitude. Very good driver, too. We had a great time!
Operator response
Mahalo for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry Black Sand Beach wasn’t accessible that day due to construction restrictions, but we’re thrilled to hear Pete made the journey just as memorable. His knowledge, fun energy, and safe driving are exactly what we strive to deliver on every tour.
We’re grateful you chose to spend your day with Switchbacks Hawaii and so glad you had a great time. Hope to see you again on your next Maui adventure!
A Hui Hou!

The road to Hana is not...
The road to Hana is not for the faint of heart, and it’s definitely not something that should be attempted by the uninitiated. To attempt this on your own will only sour the experience. Having a professional tour guide behind the wheel allowed my family to get the most out of the experience. Peter was informative, professional and knowledgeable. He enabled my family to get the most out of the experience without the stress of driving or knowing where to go.

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review and for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Peter made your Road to Hana adventure stress-free, informative, and truly memorable for your family.
We completely agree—the Road to Hana is a breathtaking but demanding drive, and having a knowledgeable guide like Peter behind the wheel allows everyone to fully soak in the beauty, history, and hidden gems without the worry. It's feedback like yours that reminds us why we love what we do—creating those special, hassle-free moments for families visiting Maui.
Mahalo nui loa for choosing us and for the kind words about Peter. We hope to welcome you back to the islands soon for another unforgettable experience—aloha and safe travels!

Peter is excellent!
Peter was fantastic, and led us on a memorable and customized day into an area that he know so well. His knowledge of the flora, history, and stories of the area was legendary. His patience and flexibility (need to pull to the roadside to manage a telehealth visit before we leave cell coverage? No problem!) made everyone in the family comfortable. His driving was safe yet efficient (on a pretty challenging road!). Best of all, we got to know a local for a day and get to know him and his point of view on so many things. Yes, the Road to Hana was filled with great stops and fun beaches and excellent pizza. Peter made it all super-efficient and fun. Strongly recommended!

Thank you so much for this glowing review and for the kind words about Peter—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
We're over the moon to hear that Peter delivered such a personalized, memorable day on the Road to Hana. His deep knowledge of the island's flora, rich history, and local stories really shines through in reviews like yours, and it's wonderful that his patience (even with a quick roadside telehealth stop!) and safe, efficient driving made the whole family feel at ease and comfortable.
Getting to connect with a true local like Peter and hear his perspective is one of the best parts of a guided tour—it's not just about the sights, but the stories and connections that make it special.
Sounds like you hit all the highlights: stunning stops, beautiful beaches, and that excellent pizza along the way! Peter knows how to make the most of every moment without the stress, and we're so glad it was super-efficient, fun, and unforgettable for your group.
Mahalo nui loa for the strong recommendation and for trusting us with your Hana adventure. Peter will be thrilled to hear this—reviews like yours mean the world to our team.
We'd love to have you back for more island explorations anytime—until then, aloha and safe travels!

Our eyes on the sights as our guide focused on the road!
We did a private Road to Hana tour with Melanie (“Mel”). It was awesome.
Mel loves the area and she guided us with the right combo of facts, safety and fun.
We loved diving in the waterfall. She took us the safest route and we created some lasting memories.
It also felt like a mini food tour as we visited local fruit stands, a quality pizza place, banana bread and a local chocolate farm.
The road is impressive and it is really, really nice to have a safe driver focused on the road. Vehicle was a sweet ride and Mel was sweeter. Thanks for a great day!
Operator response
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great experience with Mel. She's truly one of a kind—knowledgeable, passionate, and always going the extra mile to make every moment memorable. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to her—it'll mean the world. We hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure!
