Aloha means many things in the Hawaiian language: Hello, good-bye, farewell, affection, love, kindness, and compassion.
In Hawai’i, we take the Aloha spirit to heart and try to live Aloha each day.
When you tour with us you are our Ohana, which means family. Feel our Ho’okipa (hospitality) and Aloha!
Break away from the crowds! We limit our tours to 8 passengers maximum on our exclusive air-conditioned mini-coaches. This enables a personalized tour experience.
Enjoy a relaxing, unhurried Hawaiian-style adventure while listening to the expert narration of our knowledgeable and fun local tour guides.
So let us show you the beauty of our island, the wealth of our culture, and the warmth of our Aloha.

Amazing tour with a surprise ending I went to Maui for the day with my boyfriend just to share the Road to Hana experience with him.... read moreI went to Maui for the day with my boyfriend just to share the Road to Hana experience with him. It started with our wonderful tour guide, Justin, to a small group of 8. Everyone had an extra seat in a van with nice cold a/c. All the reviews share similar pictures and stops along the route. What made it different was our professional and knowledgeable driver. I have visited Maui (3xs) and Oahu (15xs) having been on many excursions with friends and family. He was patient - clear on the time for each stop but didn't rush. People asked him a lot of questions which he answered. The ride was very smooth because he was very mindful of the other cars.
Now for the surprise ending... Justin without any advance planning helped my boyfriend propose to me during the tour. I don't know of any other driver from any other tour company who could excel at his job on top of helping making the most memorable experience of my life. Thank you Mahalo Tours and Justin. read lessstudent4life086/24/2022Mahalo Tour and Transportation review We loved the fact that the tour began with the promptness of our AM pick-up.

The weather cooperated which made the day all-the-better.
Taylor was an absolute panic with his personal stories and insights!!! He was also very knowledgeable on the flora and fauna and its many uses(we had a bunch of gardeners among the group - myself included). Taylor made sure that everyone was comfortable and well hydrated and fed throughout the day. If you went away hungry, it was your own fault:) Hot lunch was delicious and again, we loved the attention to detail and attentiveness. We saw other tour companies offer a hoagie and then, send the passenger on their way. Everyone liked the fact that Taylor was an "involved" guide: always offering to take pictures, eating lunch with the group, making sure were we safe while walking in certain areas, and engaging with our 19-year-old twins. (Ellen want to thank Taylor for the coconut pie recommendation)
I would strongly recommend this tour company. They offer both the Aloha and Ohana spirit!!! Should we return to Maui (and it is my hope), I would not hesitate to book a tour with them again.
Thank you, Ronda and Charles for making this experience an excellent one because of your attention to detail and your high expectation. read lessV15IAkellyd6/22/2022

Our family can't say enough fantastic things about this experience. We have been on several tours in Hawaii and Europe. Trust me when I say this one was different.
It started with a conversation with Charles while researching which Hana tour we wanted to experience. Unfortunately, at the time, they were booked. However, Charles was excellent, had great things to say about his competitors, and gave a few recommendations. He put us on the waitlist, and we are glad we could get in.
Our guides for this adventure were Louie and Taylor. Louie has been a long-time traveler on the Road to Hana (over a decade), and Taylor is a born and raised Hawaiian with deep family ties to the island and culture. However to us, we consider them family at this point. My niece was even calling them Uncle Louie and Kuya by the time we hit the black sand beach.
These fantastic men not only shared the facts about the road and its foliage; They shared their stories, the culture, and all the blessings that the road has to offer. Trust me when I say BLESSINGS; I mean it. However, you'll have to take the tour to understand the true meaning of the word because it's not what you think.
I'd love to go into detail about the waterfalls, fantastic food (get the Hule Hule Chicken), and many experiences the road offers, but I'm sure you've already learned about these during your research. However, In the essence of time and saving you a novel's worth of reading, allow me to simply say, book this tour with this team. You won't regret it, not even an instance.
Charles and Rhonda, you have a fantastic team if you read this! We will never forget our journey, experiences, and many blessings they and the road have given us. read less

We are still buzzing with the excitement from our day! Our guide Lenny was THE BEST! From start to finish, he was informative, entertaining, helpful and just an overall awesome human being. He arrived promptly for pickup, and as promised, everyone got a window seat (not true for all tours we saw). He had numerous, clean bathroom stops for us, that was never an issue. He was genuinely concerned for our motion sick prone teenager and pointed out the best spot for her to sit. He checked on passengers comfort often, which was much appreciated. We saw turtles, swam at a waterfall, swam at the black sand beach, walked through bamboo, walked up to amazing lookouts, made a farm stand stop, and so much more! We had an amazing lunch of Uncle Russell's Huli Huli chicken (not soggy sandwiches, like other tours). Seriously, in addition to totally enjoying our day, I think we all came away better people for having met Lenny, and learning about Hawaiian history, the local people, and life in Hana. Lenny gets an 11/10, and Mahalo Tours is the company to book! read less

He was prompt in picking up our group of 9, but laid back and gave us the time we needed at each stop. He showed up some cool things like the lava tube cave, bamboo forest and waterfall (where he led the group on jumps). He is a hawaiian native and shared fun stories about his life on the islands. He kept us laughing and engaged. Lenny took great care of us and watched out for our safety, even taking a machete into the bamboo forest (in case of pigs...lol) and to make us bamboo straws for a coconut he found for us. I was impressed with how he did not suggest or hint around for a tip at the end, of course we took care of him, as he certainly earned it. Highly recommend Mahalo tours and Lenny as a guide. Ronda in the office was also very friendly and helpful. All made you feel like family. read less kimw6866/16/2022My husband and I had originally planned to drive The Road to Hana.

We were both able to enjoy the ride and beautiful scenery. The road requires so much attention the driver is not able to safely look around especially with narrow roads and one lane bridges. I booked it with only 2 day's notice. There were only 8 of us on the tour. The driver Zachary was great! He was very knowledgeable about the history of Maui, and the trees, flowers, and vegetation. He answered all my questions without hesitation. He was funny and easy going. We were provided banana bread, fresh fruits, chips, water, and a generously portioned, delicious hot meal from a local vendor. Although the stops are timed it was plenty of time for us to swim a bit, walk around and take pictures at each listed stop. I was a little scared after reading some of the one star reviews but I'm elated to say our experience was nothing like those. It was awesome and absolutely recommend the Road to Hana to anyone that asks. A big thank you to Zach for a great ride and thank God for Maui, such a beautiful creation! read less

Rhonda( agent), Rob(Guide), &Charlie(GoPro) were great! Our cruise was canceled 4 times. We booked, canceled, and rebooted every time.

He was a blast to hang out with all day and even helped me climb one of the waterfalls to jump off! I left my gopro in the van . I called Rob and Rhonda after hours on a weekend. BOTH called me back and Charlie brought it an hour away to me and wouldn't accept a tip for his time. I can not say enough good things about this group of people and their work ethic.

We avoided big crowds and got to see everything we had hoped to! The best part was seeing things no one else would know about on their own. Jaime shared tons of cool information about Hawaii and personal stories that were really entertaining, too. And as a family of 5, it was nice that she knew where all of the bathroom stops were, as well (lol)! If we come back to Maui, we would definitely to do the tour with her again! Her aloha spirit rubbed off on us and we hope we can bring it back to PA 🙂 read less loriem2905/27/2022

Pick up and drop off at our hotel was easy. Plan for a 10 hour day. Hot plate Hulu Hulu chicken lunch at Uncle Russel’s was a great differentiation from other similar guided tours.

So as you can imagine, we were doubtful about the outcome of the trip, but we went into it with open minds. Our driver/guide Rob, was fantastic! He had a great sense of humor and made the tour very interactive. Right off the bat, he had us introduce ourselves. We had a wonderful group of 8 people and we joked and talked the whole trip. Rob was very knowledgeable and kept us informed of the history and plant life of Maui, pointing out different species of plants we saw along the way. We had a wonderful lunch on the beach and delicious snacks of cakes, fruits, and Hawaiian chips served throughout the day. At the end of the day, we were all exhausted, but very happy about our shared experience. read less chriscP9788XL5/04/2022Superb I love that this tour actually cover The Beyond area.

It would be a very brave and perhaps a little foolish person who could take on some of the tracks and coastal roads that form a substantial part of this road to Hana.
Louis provided us with so much information about the spirit and history of the sites we were seeing, the amazing plants and trees, the significance of the waterfalls, wildlife, birds and so much more. He looked after our every need and took us to many places we would simply not have known existed.
This was a very full and long day - around 1 2 hours from start to finish but the time flew by with Louis' stories and the excellent company of the other 2 couples on the trip with us.
