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
