The company was able to accommodate all 10 of us inside one van. We had the best day!! Makenna picked us up on time and gave us the best tour of the island. Lunch and snacks were also provided, we definitely did not come back hungry. I highly recommend this tour group everything was A+ 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.

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.

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. We did things we were interested in. Also, we wanted to swim in a waterfall area and apparently by iwatch fell off. And one of his other guide friends found it and then somehow got it to me during our tour. Amazing! read less

What a friendly, knowledgeable, articulate, positive and fun  tour guide.  He truly loves his job and his Aina (homeland). The drive and planned stops were breathtaking.. from the turtle beach to the spectacular waterfalls and beaches.... the yummy snacks and ONO delicious local lunch - (we ordered the tastiest Huli huli chicken and the best ever Kalua pork and cabbage).

He asked the group what we were most interested in seeing and made sure we got to do it all plus some!! He was knowledgeable, friendly and as a local had plenty of information about the island. He pointed out plenty of things I would have completely missed if we had driven ourselves. Jason was completely prepared with plenty of snacks, water and even some ginger candy for my daughter who started feeling a little queasy. Lunch was amazing! I forgot the name of the place we ate but it was truly a hidden gem!! I would recommend this company to everyone! No need to drive this yourself. You will not regret it!!! 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
