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

He was knowledable and informative. We made multiple stops and saw many beautiful sites. Well worth the price to have someone else familiar with the road driving us through. 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 guide, Justin was so knowledgeable and friendly. We felt like family, Ohana. Justin made the trip exciting. Entertaining, educational and completely enjoyable. He was waiting for us at 7:00am and immediately engaged us in conversation. He got to know us and we him. What pride he showed as he taught us about his culture. It was a 12 hour day that just flew by with lots of stops and so much to look at. Thank you Justin! He kept us nourished, hydrated and provided lots of rest room breaks. We saw everything! Amazing!

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. The tour included a bunch of stops at interesting places and a tradition Hawaiian roadside lunch. I had a big portion of pork & cabbage, macaroni salad, potato salad, and canned corn. I was a VERY nice day, with a guide that loves his job and his island. read less

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

We were the only ones on the tour van with Makana, “Mak,” our tour guide. Right away we felt like ohana with Mak. He was born on the big island of Hawaii but grew up in Maui. He was so knowledgeable about the history and culture sharing it with passion and humor, we were never bored. He was great with our two grandsons who really liked Mak especially when Mak started talking and playing some songs from the movie “Moana.” Mak and my two grandsons just sang out as we drove on to the next site, so fun! We had a fabulous day stopping at beautiful locations, cultural places, seeing many waterfalls and swimming in one of the waterfalls and swimming at a couple beaches. We were fed a light breakfast, a fantastic bbq lunch with drinks and then given snacks. Water was provided throughout the whole trip. Mak was so fun and took the time to take many family photos for us at different spots. We were blessed to have such a wonderful guide; Mak is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. Thankful to Mak for driving us on the winding road to Hana so we didn’t have to. He gave us a fabulous and memorable day, ending our tour with a song and playing his ukulele at our last stop, mahalo!!! read less

Makana (Mak) was our guide and his passion and knowledge of Hawaii and Maui in particular made us truly appreciate the island and its rich history. This company tries to only hire native Hawaiian guides and it definitely makes for a unique and pleasurable experience. We not only learned about the islands history and nature, but got a first hand look into the life of a native Hawaiian through the colorful and entertaining stories Mak told about his life growing up on the island. We met members of his family along the tour and could tell that this was a very tight community that truly supported each other, and it gave us all a deeper appreciation for Maui and it's culture.

It is a long day to do the entire Road to Hana, but Mak made it pass quickly and made sure we enjoyed lots of great views and delicious local food. If we ever bring friends back and do the tour again we would use Mahalo Tours and request Mak. read less

Our driver was amazing- she gave us so much information along the way, we couldn’t believe how much she knew! She made plenty of stops for us to take pictures. She also knew where to stop for bathroom breaks!

Bottled water was provided, a very sweet little breakfast of fresh fruit and breads. Lunch was delicious- Huli Huli chicken that we ate sitting at a picnic table right near the ocean. Afternoon snacks as well. She didn’t rush us, and she was a good driver. The sea turtles we stopped to see were a nice treat as well. read less

They onlyy accept 8 guests per van on the tour that could accomodate 14 making this very comfortable and roomy for all of us.

Their price also included a very good local lunch and local delicious snacks during our tour.

Our guide “Mac” was above exccellent! He took us to see several waterfalls, we stopped at the black sand beach, did several stops during the tour. He even played the hawaian guitar for our group at luch time, he talked to us about the history of Hawai, the culture, the language and many other things. Mac was one of the best guide I ver saw!

I have to say I had been to Maui many years ago and had rented a car to do the road to Hana and did not see much as you are focus on the driving on those small roads.

The Maholo Tour Road to Hana was just fantastic!!

I highly recommend it and would do it again anytime! read less

From the minute mac picked us up we knew it was going to be a great trip. We got picked up at seven met our small group of 8 and started our journey with our ohana. Mac was so passionate about the island the culture and making sure we knew everything about each stop we traveled. His driving was the best.no need to try this trip on your own leave it to the pros. The weather was beautiful we saw so much of the island on this must do trip. My wife and I will definitely be taking this trip every time we come back to Maui. Thank you Mahalo tours for the memories we will never forget. Also a shout out to Charlie our shuttle driver home that taught us to be Polynesian ?. read less

Our van would hold at least 14 we had 8 guest. Plenty of room. Our guide and driver name is Jason. I would highly recommend requesting a trip with Jason. From the time we got in the van until we arrived at the motel. Jason went out his way to be very informative on all the sites on this 12 hr trip. His local knowledge and love of his home island, showed during the day. Excellent breakfast items and wonderful BBQ Chickhen dinner served on the beach!!! He stopped when asked too and did his best to get us in the best, safest, spots to view the sites and get pictures. I highly recommend requesting Jason if possible. You cant go wrong. Hope you have a wonderful trip!!!! read less

He and/or the company provided numerous snacks, bottled water and an ono lunch at Bruddah Hutt's BBQ (not a private estate as the tour description said but a good experience none-the-less). Justin was high energy, almost too much at times but better high energy than low energy. As pretty as the Road to Hana was, I enjoyed seeing the "back side" of Haleakala because I felt like I had seen part of Maui that many people don't see. I definitely recommend Mahalo Tours. read less

It was a packed, fun-filled day with plenty of stops to stretch your legs and explore. There were snacks and drinks all along the way which were awesome and it was a small group of eight as promised. I was a little worried about the drive because I get car sick easily, but didn’t have any issues thanks to Justin and his careful, expert driving! We saw everything we hoped to see and more. Everyone agreed that Justin helped make the experience so amazing for us. From the information he shared about each area to something as simple as the music he played, everyone enjoyed themselves the entire trip. When we visit Maui again we will most certainly be booking with Mahalo Tours! read less

I convinced them that hiring a driver and letting them take over the nerve-wracking part was the answer. And boy was I right! Mahalo Tours sent us a first class guide/driver in Mac. He shared so much of his home with us we felt like locals. The beauty of the windward side of the island is not to be missed. We were a group of 7 but went ahead and purchased the last remaining spot on our tour so we could have the "private" experience. To sum it up: waterfalls, banana bread, huli huli chicken, songs and stories we will tell for many years to come. Maholo to Mac and Maholo Tours! read less

I am so thankful we chose this tour company. My husband got to enjoy the beauty of this trip also. He would have missed alot had he been driving. Plus we learned a lot about the history of the island. Our driver, Jamie was very enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge with us. She was an excellent guide. Plus an excellent driver. She asked everyone when she picked us up if there was anything we wanted to see. She really wanted to provide us with an enjoyable day. The sights were beautiful and the meal and snacks provided were great. Would highly recommend this company. Job well done Jamie. read less

He made sure to hit the spots that everyone on the tour wanted to check out. The actual road is quite narrow and treacherous. I would highly recommend a guided tour not only because the local guide knows the ins and outs but because your rental car would probably have a hard time with it. Lunch was provided and was very delicious. Plenty of snacks came with the trip as well. We loved this trip! read less

I am so glad I heeded advice and booked instead of driving. There are many one car bridges and hairpin turns. We stopped at many “off beaten path” stops and even stopped for Auntie Sandi’s famous banana nut bread - fresh and warm. The beach at Hana was absolutely stunning. The Huli Huli chicken lunch has been the best meal I’ve had in all of Maui. KAIPO thank you - for remembering everyone’s names and for sharing your beautiful history and stories. Your passion and ‘mana’ have stayed with me all day today. MAHALO for making all the extra photo stops along the way ?? read less

A distinguishing feature of this company is that, although the van seats 12 guests, it only allows up to 8 people per tour. This is to ensure that each guest has a window seat to enjoy the view. Our tour guide Nathan was knowledgeable, attentive, and very funny. He was always one step ahead, anticipating our every need: hand sanitizer, rain ponchos, and phone chargers.  Nathan was born and raised in Hana so he knows all the history of the area.  He picked us up at our hotel and had muffins and fresh pineapple and strawberries for our breakfast.  For lunch the company provided us with delicious, local food from Braddah Hutts BBQ.  (We saw other tour companies giving their riders peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.)  The company also provided us with snacks throughout the day.  The sights were beautiful. I highly recommend this tour. read less

Our guide Nathan, is a knowledgeable local who was able to explain everything as he drove along the winding roads. Everything was extremely well planned. Nathan gave us time at every stop to look and explore. Although the mini-bus holds 12, they guarantee a maximum of 8 people. We were 7 and it was very comfortable.

The food was fresh, plentiful and delicious. He provided us with snacks,water and juice all day long. Lunch was not a wrap like other companies offer but it was fresh well prepared grilled mahi-mahi or a choice of other entrees.

If you are thinking of going to Hana, do not drive yourself. I would definitely recommend taking a Mahalo tour read less

He is a l cal and it felt like he was truly passionate about making it a good day for us. Picked me up right on time and after picking up a few more guests we were on our way. First stop was a beach with giant turtles, I could have been done there! We had a choice of some local breads (I had the coconut macadamia but there were about 5 choices) and also had some fresh pineapple. Then it was on to Hana. It POURED most of the day which was extremely disappointing as most of the views were of low lying clouds & leaves. But, at least the forests were beautiful. So I’d definitely recommend checking the weather and avoiding big rain days. On the plus side Justin noted that many of that CRAZY full waterfalls we saw were unique to super rainy like this, so we got to see a lot of waterfalls around every turn. We had more fruit snacks on the trip (grapes and a giant strawberry), and stopped at some great overlooks for photos (albeit sopping wet) and a few quintessential touristy kiosks for banana bread/ice cream etc. I don’t love the touristy stops but it was helpful to have these bathroom breaks. And I really enjoyed the shop with the beautiful garden in the back as this seemed like a local couple making money off the land via making beautiful things. Lunch was great traditional plate lunch Huli Huli chicken (but there were at least 4 choices). Best part of the trip was when we went on the “dotted line” part of the map which is not recommended for tourists (and against rental car policy to drive on). May companies do not do the full loop circle but these guys do. Spectacular views, and fun bumpy ride. Sun cane out for an hour or two and we were able to get some great photos on the dry west side of the mountain. Another benefit if these guys is the 8person tour limit in a bus that would hold 12 guests so you have a little extra space. Overall great driver, great tour company with nice extras! read less

We were given a beautiful breaky in a beautiful setting to start. Then we got on the road to Hana, what spectacular scenery, I love maui, and didn't want to leave, EVER. The bamboo forest is awesome, never seen anything like it. The group we had on our trip, couldn't have been better, lovely lovely people. We also stopped for a lite lunch, along the way. Nani out guide was brilliant, I'm a nervous passenger, but felt so safe with her driving, she knew how to handle the van, without question. She was extremely entertaining, and seemed to know everyone, even stopping outside her dad's house, and shouting out to him, us in the van, couldn't see him, so we told her, to tell him to wave, so we could see him ha ha, will never forget the day EVER, well done 10/10 guys read less
