Around the bend - 600+ times
Charlie was a terrific host and guide, talking us through every one of the experiences that made up our tour. It was all based around the road to Hana - a barmy, picturesque drive of almost 2hrs on a road that boasted 600+ twists and turns, dozens of gloeious waterfalls and a few too many roadworks! We saw turtles, waterfalls, a black sand beach, rainbow trees, beautiful scenery - and Hana. If you can handle the drive, you'll love the tour.

Aloha!
Mahalo for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that your Road to Hāna experience memorable.
With all those twists and turns, waterfalls, roadwork, and incredible scenery, the Road to Hāna is definitely an adventure! We’re glad you were able to experience so many of the special sights along the way—from the turtles and rainbow eucalyptus trees to Waiʻānapanapa’s black sand beach and, of course, Hāna itself.
Thank you for choosing Hāna & Beyond to be part of your Maui experience. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope you took home plenty of great memories.

The long and winding road...but worth it!
This was a fabulous tour. Emma was an excellent drive and very knowledgable. We enjoyed the beautiful beaches, waterfalls, and lush rainforest. You have to try the banana bread coconut ice cream sundae!
Operator response
We love hearing that you had such a memorable day with Emma! 🌺 One of our favorite parts of this journey is giving guests a chance to experience so many different sides of Maui in a single day—from the scenery and natural beauty to those delicious little stops along the way. And yes, that banana bread coconut ice cream sundae is definitely a treat worth remembering! Mahalo for exploring Hāna with us and for sharing your experience!

It sounds like you packed a lot of great Maui memories into one day! Mahalo for choosing Hāna & Beyond and for the wonderful recommendation!

See Hana without Driving yourself
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.
Operator response
This is exactly why we love taking the wheel! Having driven the Road to Hāna before, you already knew how difficult it can be for the driver to appreciate everything happening around them. This time, you could simply enjoy the views, know when those special photo opportunities were coming, and let Junior handle the road. We’re also proud of the communication and flexibility our entire team provides, especially when working with cruise ship schedules. Mahalo for trusting Hāna & Beyond to give you a whole new perspective on a road you had already traveled!

The Road to Hana
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.
Operator response
Mahalo for sharing your experience and for recognizing the value of having someone else navigate the Road to Hāna while you take in the incredible scenery. Georg is a knowledgeable and valued member of our guide team, and his passion for Hawaiʻi’s history is a big part of the experience he brings to his tours. We understand, however, that every guest has different interests and that one guide’s storytelling style may not be the perfect fit for everyone. We appreciate your perspective and are glad that, overall, you enjoyed the beauty of the journey and felt the Road to Hāna was worth experiencing.

We survived the 30 miles...
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 .
Operator response
What a day to remember! Mahalo for sharing your experience and for highlighting Charlie. The Road to Hana certainly has its share of curves and turns, so having a confident, safety-minded driver makes a big difference when you can simply sit back and enjoy the scenery.
It sounds like you made the most of the journey, from the beaches and waterfalls to the rugged coastline and scenic stops along the way. Charlie’s storytelling seems to have added another layer to the day, bringing the history and character of Maui to life between the beautiful views.
We’re grateful you chose to make the journey with us and took the time to share your experience. Thank you for supporting the Hana community and the local people and businesses that make this part of Maui so special.

Great tour with a friendly local
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.
Operator response
We love hearing this kind of feedback. Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience and for noticing the little things that made your day special. Emma’s ability to blend local knowledge with the history and facts of the area can make the scenery feel much more meaningful.
And those photo moments really do matter. Having a heads-up before a beautiful view appears gives you a chance to put the camera down for a moment—or get it ready—and actually enjoy what’s coming. It sounds like Emma understood that the experience is about more than simply passing by the sights.
We’re grateful you spent the day exploring East Maui with us and appreciate you recognizing the care that goes into creating a memorable Hana experience.

Awesome guide and experience!
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.
