My sister, husband, and I enjoyed this trip together. It took my sister and I a while to decide on which tour company to select for this trip. We were so happy we chose Mahalo! Our local guide was very knowledgeable of each and every stop and location on the tour and even managed time for additional stops people requested on the route. He took the time out to tell us facts and stories of locations along the way. He also provided us with snacks, water, great food, and plenty of bathroom stops. By the end of the tour, my group and I were so thankful we chose Mahalo Tours due to our driver's insights and expertise driving along the route. If you are looking for the best Road to Hana tour, pick this one! Fantastic tour guide (USMC Gulf War veteran) and the best way to travel to Hana! More read less

We loved his funny stories and knowledge of the local area. He was a great driver and took the time to allow us flexibility if we wanted a little more time. He was great at pointing out picture spots and we learned a lot. Great tour. We wouldn’t have enjoyed driving this stretch of road in our own. read less

I have to apologize as I forget the tour guides name. We took the Road to Hana Tour. Be prepared for the long haul as the tour is very long, but worth it. The guide was funny, informative, and very helpful. The waterfalls, different ecosystems, and other stunning scenery was wonderful. The food was also very good. Unlike some of the other Hana tours this one took a complete circle of the area so you always saw different attractions. The small size (8) was also a plus. read less

After reading so many reviews with all the different option in Maui- we decided on Mahalo Tours for our trip. It was a great choice. They are locally owned & a smaller company & that goes a long way. We had Mak as our guide and he was great. He had so many stories to share along with a lot of history which our goup really apprecited. We saw another tour company at one of our stops and the guide stayed with his van while Mak offered some facts on the beautiful vegetation to both our group & the other tour companies group (not a good look on their part); so glad we decided to not to go wtih them. Mak was a great driver & I was very comfortable with him behind the wheel. We were provided numerous snacks, water & flexibilty. Lunch from Braddah Huts BBQ was delicious. He entertained us with Hawaiian music in the van & sincerely made the long day easy, breezy & a memorable one. Money (and more importantly time) well spent. More read less

I enjoyed it a lot! We saw more than 12 waterfalls in our way! But I have to be honest it is scary! You go up, down, right, and left through all the road. The road is very narrow! One side for cars coming both ways! So if you have motion sickness or any back problems, I don't recommend it. Our guied today was so nice and he was so informative about the island. I feel I just get off roller coster 🙂 here are some pictures: read less

There was one other lady that joined our group of 7. So to make all of us acquainted with each other, Jamie recommended we introduce ourselves. She started first and made us feel like we're family by saying that we can call her auntie if we ever forget what her name was. Throughout the whole tour, Jaime knew something about everything we saw - the plants, history of the island, the weather, where to look at for nice views. She answered all the question we had about anything Maui and Road to Hana related. One of my friend got car sick (not bc of Jaime's driving, she's usually more prone to car sickness) and during one of our stop, she had to throw up. Jaime saw and brought her a bottle of water to help her wash off what got onto her hair. This was very nice of Jaime to do! She introduced us to some local artist and played some of their music for us. In return, we introduced her to ratchet music and she was in for a surprise. We had a good laugh about it because she wasn't used to that type of music. She also introduced us to some of her coworkers she saw along the way. She shared personal stories that I'd never forget.

A lot of personalities and it was our first day in Hawaii after a long day of travel. I say all that to say I really wasn't sure the kids were going to enjoy the very long day. I couldn't have been more wrong. From the moment Justin picked us up at 7am till the 6pm drop off, we were all smiles. Justin was born and raised on Maui so he was very knowledgeable. But even more importantly, he was very personable and funny. Justin took the time to get to know each of us and would joke around with us, which the kids all loved. He took us to many of the standard stops but also many that the larger groups couldn't see. We stopped at a couple beautiful waterfalls. Both were a little difficult to get to the water but Justin was right there making sure each of us found the safest way. (A lot of sites said water shoes weren't necessary but I would recommend) We went to a beach where sea turtles like to sunbath. We went to the black sand beach (more like black pebble beach). We ate an amazing lunch at Huli Huli Chicken Shack next to the red sand beach. So beautiful. Several choices for lunch included in tour cost. All of the choices were delicious and huge. We stop at a cute shop where the couple makes jewelry, wooden items and beautiful flower arrangements from their gardens. While we were looking at the jewelry, Justin was playing go fish with the owners grand daughter. We stopped for the most amazing banana bread too. Most of the Road to Hana tours end in Hana and then turn around and go back the same way, not Mahalo. We went all the way around. The road definitely got more bumpy but we got to see so much more, even where Justin grew up. After each stop Justin had a different Hawaiian snack for us: different kinds fruit, coffee cake and chips. Anyway, I'm sure I could go on but I will sum up by saying Justin was exceptional and Mahalo is lucky to have him and you will not be disappointed in this tour. Oh we even saw a bunch of mongoose. read less

LOVE that they are locally owned, have a max of 8 passengers per luxury van (comfort +), that they hire only local guides so you get the insider/local perspective, AND you get to experience the full circle tour, no backtracking.

Spending 10+ hours on a tour being carefully driven through the the most beautiful scenery, endless curves & one-lane bridges by Justin...along with 7 other passengers, was such a fun "Hawaiian Roller Coaster" experience. Justin’s high energy + aloha spirit was beyond welcoming and very entertaining. His jokes and thoughtfully synced soundtrack made the time fly by (the yummy snacks helped, too). The tour was very informative not only about Road to Hana, but everything else in Maui and Hawaiian culture. Justin shared his own experiences about growing up in Hana which added a nice touch to the tour. He has a great personality and perspective on life, going above and beyond to make sure we were not disappointed.

Highly Recommended! Mahalo, Justin. More read less

We were a party of 10. We had Zach as our guide. He was awesome! He was very knowledgeable but also extremely FLEXIBLE. We stopped when we wanted to and he adjusted to some rain showers.

And one of his other guide friends found it and then somehow got it to me during our tour. Amazing! read less

After being picked up from the hotel, we set off to discover everything the road to Hana has to offer. Having a passionate guide , with a wicked sense of humor made the day a highlight of our vacation. Snacks of Hawaiian baked goods and fresh local fruits kept us energized for visits to three black sand beaches, many waterfalls, churches, and breath taking views, All before a super hot lunch of Huli Huli chicken. Charley shared with us amazing information about many of the plants and flowers were encountered, and how they were used by the Hawaiian people , past and present.
He made safety first his priority, and we had a splendid day. I highly recommend this company for your Road to Hana. Leave the driving to the locals and you will be rewarded. More read less

Leave the drive to the pros!  Not once did we feel unsafe.  He even stopped to ensure the safety of drivers around us.  Mahalo Tours, Lenny is a treasure.....THANK YOU.  We can't recommend your company enough.  Mahalo nui loa.  Til next time. read less

Our driver/guide talked almost every minute of the tour. Not in a bad way, He truly loves sharing his island with others. He was always pointing out things of interest, telling stories of the Hawaiian gods, and telling the history of Hawaii.

He was so friendly & engaged our two teenage boys asking them questions right away to make them feel comfortable. On our drive to pick up the other guests, he indulged us in a coffee stop since we had 10-15 minutes before our other folks got off their cruise boat. We had a party of 8 in a van that could fit 12. After seeing other tours along the way stuffed with people, I was so glad we weren't!
The tour was a full day 12 hours for us. Lots of roadside opportunities to take pictures. We stopped to see turtles, waterfalls, black sand beach, delicious local lunch (chicken, ribs, pork). I felt like the food was plentiful!!
Kaipo shared a lot of insight & history and you can tell he loves his land. Great day!
A few tips - wear a swimsuit if you plan to get in the water & take towels. Take a dry pair of shoes or flip flops for the car but wear water shoes with good grip to get to the waterfalls & beaches. If you're prone to motion sickness, take something before hand. This trip goes all the way to Hana & around the backside of the mountain. It gives a an amazing view of the countryside. read less
