He knew so much information about the land and he’s such a down to earth guy. So many snacks and water were provided, but bring a jacket because it can get chilly in the van. We saw so many waterfalls, but our favorite one was the one we were able to swim in. Beautiful sceneries everywhere on this trip…don’t fall asleep because you might miss an amazing view! read less

She was an excellent driver and very informative and friendly. We had a great day. So many beautiful places along the trip. Plenty of places to take pictures. I liked that we did the entire road to Hana. It’s definitely bounce and a bit crazy at times but definitely worth it. Lots of snacks and water and lunch was delicious! read less

Very friendly, knowledgeable and informative of everything from history, culture, landmarks, medicinal herbs, etc. She took the time to answer every question and educate the whole group about her rich culture. Our group of 9 all enjoyed the trip but it was enhanced by Aunty Lynn.
It was a long day so be prepared. read less

We had the privilege to have Jamie and Lin as our tour guides. They are both locals and so knowledgeable about their Island. We not only loved witnessing such a diverse landscape but also hearing about all of the rich history the road to Hana had to offer. We truly enjoyed all the stops and the delicious lunch that was provided. It was a very long day so prepared for that, but it is so worth it. Thank you Mahalo Tours read less

Every stop we made was awesome. Our favorites were swimming in the waterfalls, eating banana bread at aunty Sandy’s, eating lunch at Koki beach (lunch was good!), swimming again at black sand beach and just looking at the amazing scenery the Road to Hana had to offer. We wouldn’t have enjoyed this experience immensely without our guide Cody! He was very knowledgeable, easy going and took very good care of us all throughout the day. I would recommend this tour and this company 100% to anyone wanting to experience the Road to Hana. read less

Kobi was so knowledgeable about the island, the history of the road, Maui and the rest of the islands. He shares so much information with us. He was kind, polite, safety conscious, and an all around an awesome dude. I give Kobi FIVE SOLID SHAKAs. Mahalo to our new Ohana in Maui. read less

We knew the road was going to make me nervous if we drove it ourselves, so booking the tour was a no brainer. BTW, his driving didn't make me nervous one bit! He was so knowledgeable about the island with dates and stories that kept us hanging on to every word. He was proud and protective of the island and so very passionate. He looked out for our safety and even the safety of others that weren't in our group! By the end of the trip we felt like Ohana and even wanted to hang out with him while on our trip! We didn't of course but we would have! Our 16 year old son and him bonded which was pretty cool. Mahalo Lenny! read less

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 less

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 less

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

I'm so happy we booked the tour instead. 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
