5.00Our group tour was 6 solos (one mother/ daughter pair.) Such a fun group. When Charlie picked me up from the port he called to let me know when he arrived (communication 10/10.) When I got to him, he was helping a gentleman and his wife that were having trouble with a tour they booked elsewhere, he just wanted to make sure they got to where they needed to be safely (customer service 10/10.) On the drive to my group Charlie explained they are Hawaii owned and many guides are former military. Our guide for the Road to Hana was Uncle Louie. Louie has tons of stories and cracked us up all day! I thought the motion sickness claim was exaggerated...IT IS NOT. Even if you don't get sea sick, take bonine or dramamine to prep for this ride. Louie earned Uncle today for me...he saw I was feeling off (I do not get sea sick), went above and beyond to grab me some peppermints and ginger. Even brought them down to me on the beach at one of our stops. Tour itself, fun stories, cool history, beautiful stops, delicious snacks on board, lots of water, Aunt Sandy's banana bread and coffee yum, lunch huli-huli chicken that was sooo good and how those meals help the community 🥰. Uncle Louie kept us on track time wise, provided good safe guidance but also let us go play how we wanted always with a watchful eye. Staying with Louie was always an option as well. Unfortunately the back road from Hana home was closed for safety...so we did up and back. Made it back in plenty of time for all aboard as well. Port was 1st drop off to make sure. Thanks Charlie for setting up the stops and food. Also a big thank you for having your guides backs to customize as needed for the groups best interest. We ran across 3 other Mahalo groups and those drivers were fun as well. Watched each of them help others not in their group. We all knew we were in good hands. Mahalo 🌺 for the wonderful day! You guys are my recommendation 100%.

5.00The Road to Hāna is stunning, but it’s not for the faint of heart - over 600 twists and turns and 50+ one-way bridges (each way!) make it challenging to navigate on your own. Mahalo Tours makes the journey enjoyable, stress-free, and memorable. Doing this on your own is absolutely possible, but not with the ease and comfort that Mahalo Tours provides. Well worth the cost, in my opinion. Our guide, Adam, was fantastic: knowledgeable, approachable, and full of suggestions for photos and stops, from the lava tube at Black Sand Beach to the blowhole. He gave plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn about the area, and the small group made the day surprisingly social and fun — lunch conversations were a highlight. Some things that really stood out to me - Mahalo Tours cares about your comfort and experience. My wife has a medical condition that sometimes limits her ability to participate - none of this was an issue for Mahalo Tours, even when she broke out the cane to help her walk towards the end of the tour. They kept us going with snacks and water throughout the trip, and our guide joined us for lunch and talked about his life on the island which I thought was really nice. A key point for anyone booking: this is a guided experience to see Maui’s east side and its natural beauty, not a food tour, and not a shopping spree. There is a level of physical ability required if you fancy yourself a bit of an explorer and want to see as much as possible as quickly as possible, otherwise you might find yourself sitting near the bus waiting with your driver for your fellow adventurers to come back - not that there’s anything wrong with that. The locations we stopped at were absolutely stunning. Adam’s care, insight, and friendliness made the trip exceptional - I couldn’t recommend him or Mahalo Tours more.

5.00Ed, the guide. Was terrific,! Gave a lot of information. Snacks provided were well timed, and plentiful. Accomated our gluten free person. Unfortunately due to landslide, could only go one way, & return the same. However. Ed still reminded & informed us of scenic & historical places. The lunch provided was wonderful & a good amount.

5.00Jason was our guide. He is local to the area and gave a great perspective of Hana. He knew the best places to stop and the best things to purchase. He knows the road very well and pointed out all the breath-taking views. This was a highlight of our time spent on Maui.
Great way to see the Road to Hana

5.00This small group tour was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the local history, flora, fauna, and hidden gems along the way. He shared so many fun facts and stories that really brought Maui’s culture and landscape to life. He was also super personable and pleasant! You could tell he truly enjoys what he does, which made the whole day even better. The group itself was great too, interesting people and an easy, relaxed vibe all day. We made plenty of stops for sightseeing, photos, and restrooms, so it never felt rushed or exhausting. Snacks and lunch were included, which made it effortless to just enjoy the experience. Honestly, this tour was 100% worth the price. It was the perfect balance of comfort, adventure, and education, a must-do if you want to experience the beauty and spirit of the Road to Hana without the stress of driving yourself!
