Wonderful half day tour - We had an amazing tour guide named Melissa for the half day tour. She was so knowledgeable and showed us so many beautiful sites. She also took great pictures of our group throughout the tour. The half day was the perfect length tour for us and Melissa was the perfect guide! We learned so much about Maui!

Great half day Road to... - Great half day Road to Hana tour with Spencer!! He’s very knowledgeable on Hawaiian culture and history making the tour an engaging experience. Don’t drive it yourself. There is much more to be gained being a passenger with an experienced tour guide.

The Adventure is in the Journey - My wife and I drove to Hana ourselves 25 years ago. We had no idea what we missed out on until years later, we went back with our family of five on a tour with our guide Spencer. We didn’t want to spend 8-12 hours in a vehicle like we did the first time on our own, so the half day tour was perfect. Spencer was a great guide. Before our trip, he clearly communicated what to expect, what to bring and what he suggests. He was a very safe driver. He shared extensive knowledge about the culture, food, shops, geology, plants, and animals in the area. Spencer actively listened to what we were interested in and he took us to some amazing sites!

Family fun with kids under 6! - Our Tour Guide was John and he was absolutely amazing! He took us to all the cool spots that were not overrated with too many people. He was very accommodating. We had our five-year-old daughter with us so we did do the half throw hana so that it wasn’t too much for her. It was a perfect experience, snacks and drinks and we learned a lot of little history facts about Maui. We tend to recommend this tour, especially if you have younger kids.

Definitely a must-do! - Our experience using the Experience Hawai’i company for our Road to Hana tour was absolutely wonderful. Our driver, John M., reached out a few days prior to make sure everything was set, and was fully amenable when we wanted to make little tweaks to our reservation. But more than that, for the tour, he knew the history of the area and the stops, added in places that weren’t swamped with tourists, took pictures for us so it wasn’t just pics of kids/combination of my husband and I, and even had additional snacks/water for my three teenage children that can constantly eat. I get motion sickness, shared this with him, and he made sure I was set as we were driving. I know it may cost a little bit more to do a private tour, but the trade-off, the not having to worry about navigating local traffic, or wonder if we are missing something, or even just being able to relax and enjoy this part of our vacation, is so worth it. Especially if you get a great driver like John!

Private Tour of Paradise - I highly recommend this tour! John was an entertaining, informative and engaging guide. He was punctual, an effective/timely communicator and a safe/smooth driver.
This was my fourth trip to Maui and Hana and the first time we elected to tap into a tour service. I learned new tips and we got some great photos of our group. I will definitely use this tour service next time we go!

Amazing halfway to Hana tour with John - We chose to do the half way to Hana tour to avoid a long day in the car and it was perfect!
John was our guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Maui and gave us insights into the way of life on the island. The transport was sensational - clean, comfortable with plenty of space and John provided drinks and delicious snacks.
We had a list of things we hoped to see during our tour and John ticked them all off.
We swam in a waterfall, saw turtles (at two locations), went to the black sand beach amongst other great places.
I would highly recommend John and this tour!

expensive for a private tour that was not customized at all, and we did not feel safe with the driver - With a private guide, and the big price tag, I though this would be a personalized trip. The guide, Eo, did not ask us any questions about where we wanted to stop or what we were interested in. When I commented as we passed some places I wanted to see, he replied that he already had the day planned out. This half-way to Hana trip is a brief sketch of seeing the road, and maybe a few stops of 10-15 minutes each, with one very short hike (.25 mile round trip), which is fine if you want an abbreviated tour, but I think it should be customized and a conversation if it is a private tour. The most important thing I want to say is that we did not fee safe with this driver. He drove quite a bit with only his left knee on the wheel and no hands on the wheel (not on the road to Hana, but on regular roads) and he often took his eyes off the road along with his hands to show us maps and sheets of paper. We told them that he could wait to show us until we were stopped, but he kept doing it. Even though I liked the sights and the driver knew the surroundings well, I just wanted the whole thing to be over and get home safely. I would not recommend this driver/tour guide.
