The driver was very informative and congenial! I have recommended this tour to others.

The road to Hana is something you leave to professional drivers and someone that knows the place very well so you don't miss any highlights and amazing sceneries. That's exactly what we got with this tour with a tour guide that's knowledgeable and funny. Thanks!

Great experience for a first time visiter to Maui. We were lucky as the weather was beautiful-great sunrise and views of the island on the ride down. Friendly, funny local guides.

The ride downhill was stunning. Pickup 2 AM and delivery 1:30 PM back to Kaanapali was provided. "Brunch" break was at own expense, though the company did provide rolls and coffee prior to the ride to the top of Haleakala for the sunrise. Company furnished a van during the trip to act as a defense for traffic and for anyone that could not complete, which never happened.

The sunrise was gorgeous! It's cold up there in the morning though so wear layers. The first half is a little scary being up so high and going so fast, but it's totally worth it!

Doing what: Maui Downhill Bike Ride
My pals I was traveling with said I was crazy but I woke up at 1.30am. Arriving at 4.30am and putting on a rubber suit was admittedly a bit strange but I loved every minute of it. About 300 onlookers watched the sun rise over the 3rd largest volcanic mountain in the world. The 38 mile bike down the 10,000 foot volcano was exhilarating. Nothing dangerous but going 35 MPH on a mountain bike around hairpin curves was swell. Stared at the silverswords. Saw rainbows, birds, and cattle. Smelled the eucalyptus and lavender farms. At the bottom we had breakfast at a famous spot in Makawao (yum yum) and then biked through Paia, according to our guide the 'haight-ashbury' of Maui. The trip ended with hugs and a Mahalo of course.
Note from Viator: Traveler tip: Keep cameras warm and close to because batteries tend to drain quickly. Supposedly it has something to do with the mineral composition of the volcano and its crater.

Doing what: Small-Group Road to Hana Luxury Tour
We were the lucky ones - only the 2 of us on the tour so we had benefit of a personal luxury coach and driver for the day! Magnificent vistas all along the tour and views of the coastline and hinterland are stunning - the stop off for rainforest walk and 'pool dip' were a little underwhelming - but didnt detract from a first class trip

Tour guide Tom was a wealth of information, quick wit and good humor. The best way to see a good portion of the island, but a tad long for me. But I would tell anyone to do it once because you will see and learn a lot. Loved the Hana lunch.

Amazing trip - the differences between the windward and leeward sides for the island is just unbelievable. Our guide was great, and definitely knew his stuff, especially about the native flora. Unfortunately we didn't get to swim due to the weather, but would've been pushed for more than a quick dip anyway as the schedule is quite tight. The tour bus seated about 18, we had 12 on our trip. It was a full day, and parts of the road are quite rough and on the edge of a cliff, so I wouldn't recommend this if you have a bad back or couldn't cope with a bumpy road. Otherwise, this is a must-do trip on Maui!

Will do it again and my concern was the non inclusion of lunch. Tour guide very informed. Great experience and thank you.
