Great experience!
Daniel_B, Jun 2022
Great experience! I'm so happy we decided to go with a guided tour and driver. The roads get pretty rough at times.

Aloha Daniel and mahalo for your feedback. A hui hou
Not a Luxury tour
Deanise_P, Jun 2022
Tour is advertised as a "luxury Mercedes" tour. What this actually means is a Mercedes van that seats 15 people. Front seat is driver and one other person. Behind driver is 3 rows of three seats and then a back seat with 4 seats. The back row is only a few inches wider than the other three rows so the four in the back are literally packed in! Combine that with the company allowing an infant on a 10 hour tour. So... you are packed in a van with 15 people on a bench seat that is really too small for 4 people and a baby is crying a good portion of the day. Van should not have more than 10 people tops for comfort and no children under five. Stops were beautiful and our guide was wonderful. But way too much money to be crammed in an overcrowded van with a crying child for 10 hours. The word "luxury" is completely inaccurate.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Aloha and mahalo for your input. We are sorry to hear that you didn't feel it was a luxury van. Comparing to other vans other companies use, like Ford or Chevy, our vans are luxury. Longer version with a high roof allows to travelers stand up and stretch out with extra legroom. Road to Hana is a long day but you are not always sitting in the van. There are swimming stops, where you walk around and explore. A crying baby? Well, that happens. Just like on an airplane. We definitely have no interest in limiting our guests from bringing their children. That's not what we do. It is an adventure meant for all age groups, singles, couples, families and seniors.
Disappointing day
Kristen_C, May 2022
We were very disappointed with this tour. It is not a luxury Mercedes. There were 14 of us packed in on bench seats that looked just like the other Ford vans touring. Amenities were not as described such as soda. The lunch was bare minimum. There was very little commentary and only a few stops. I saw more when I drove it myself. We were back within 8 hours total. We were not shown around at the park like we observed other guides doing. Our tour guide was nice but new so not sure if that contributed. It was definitely the company misleading to make it out to be one of the more luxury experiences. We saw others that had what we expected. Would not recommend.
Response from Host, May 2022
Aloha and mahalo for your feedback. I am sorry to hear we didn't meet your expectations. We don't advertise soda, we serve much better drinks - Hawaiian juice from tropical fruits like passion fruit, lilikoi, pineapple, etc. Mercedes Sprinters are definitely different from a Ford, they are roomier, taller, longer. I suggest you spend a whole day in a Ford and then let us know how was it? (You cannot even stand up in it). You made the lunch choice ahead of time, so not sure where the problem was. Thanks for joining us and have a great day!
Incredible Experience with Breathtaking Scenery
Leatha_F, Apr 2022
This was an incredible tour: beautiful waterfalls, lush vegetation with colorful flowers to name just a couple of highlights! Our guide/driver, Eric, was very knowledgeable about the history of Hawaii and made the tour very interesting. We were so glad we didn’t try to drive this ourselves. It was very relaxing to ride in the comfortable van and let Eric do the driving. We made many stops at beautiful places that we would not have found on our own.
Response from Host, May 2022
Aloha Leatha, mahalo nui for your feedback. It was a pleasure to have you. Save travels and A hui hou....
Beautiful trip!
Christine_T, Apr 2022
We were so glad we did this tour for the road to Hana! It was a long day and we’re glad we didn’t try to do it ourselves. Our guide Eric was amazing! He was fun, knowledgeable, took pictures and videos for us and was an expert in maneuvering the roads! Definitely recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Aloha Christine, how wonderful to hear that you had a great time. We are happy you could join us on this awesome Hana adventure. Hope you can visit again.
Breathtaking scenery!
STACEY_W, Apr 2022
Great tour! Quinn provided great information about the island and history and was an excellent driver on the crazy narrow roads! Scenery was breathtaking and it was a definite must do in Maui.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Aloha Stacey, we are happy to hear that you had a great time. Mahalo for your sharing with other travelers :-)
Great Day!
Angela_W, Mar 2022
Eric was amazing!! I can’t imagine a better guide! There were so many beautiful views. Great experience! This is a must do!
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Aloha Angela, we are happy you had a great time. It was an amazing day, wasn't it :-)
No worth your $!!
Caroline_C, Mar 2022
The good: host/driver was knowledgeable and friendly. He picked me up on time. Some of the stops were awe- inspiring.; black beach in particular. Other travelers were spirited and fun. The bad: breakfast was Costco-like bread (poppy or chocolate bread). Positively Flavorless. Lunch was worse: boxed ham sandwich. Ewwwww. I bought a salad at a stop along the way and was glad I did. Who ears ham? Other tours had selections. This was a $250 investment and food provided was cheap. Not even a coke or sprite was offered. The saving grace was the hand cut Maui pineapple which was delish. Also bad: the “luxury” van was packed. Not an empty seat. I was squished into a back seat with strangers. I kept falling on my neighbors. Also roads were so bumpy and uncomfortable made worse by being packed in like sardines. Lastly , although I appreciated the genuine enthusiasm of our guide, he talked incessantly for over 8 hours. Non-stop. I would have appreciated a better balance: some narration and then some quiet time to enjoy the beauty. The ugly: at the end of our journey together, our guide accused “western cities” of sending their homeless on a one way ticket to Maui. This is nonsense. I lived in SF for years and volunteered with local govt to assist the homeless in getting access to services and rebuilding their lives. His remarks were shameful insults and blatantly false. He should be reminded how many visitors, owners and residents hail from the West coast. For $250, I was disappointed. There are better ways to spend your $$ in Maui.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Aloha Caroline, we are sorry the tour didn't meet your expectations. We offer choices for lunch - ham, turkey or veggie sandwich. If you don't like ham (like many guests do), why didn't you preorder something else? We purposely don't serve soda drinks as you can have them everywhere else. We serve Hawaiian juice made out of exotic fruits like lilikoi, guava, pineapple, oranges... Bumpy roads are very common on Road to Hana, and every description online warns you about it. It seems like you didn't even read what you signed up for because all the things you complain about are described publicly. You received exactly what you paid for. Next time please read before signing up. Aloha!
A great day in Maui
Tami_H, Mar 2022
Our day was filled with Maui beauty but also history, culture & funny “dad” jokes!! Our family had a great day. Thank you Quinn for showing us Maui!!
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Aloha Tami, so glad you and your ohana had a great time! Mahalo for riding with us :-)
Pricy
Dee_R, Mar 2022
Would of liked to stop and see more falls, instead of stopping at places to shop. It was to long to go the whole road on Hana. I seen another tour where you get a BBQ lunch and it was cheaper.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Aloha Dee, thanks for your input. We only stop at one place for shopping and that is the famous banana bread stand, so I am not sure what other places you are referring to. There are over 15 waterfalls located along the Road to Hana. Some of these waterfalls are visible from the road or you even drive over them on a bridge. As you mentioned it is a long drive and it is not possible to stop at all of them. We chose the best stops and easy accessible stops for your safety and pleasure. You can always book a private tour to explore the area further. Mahalo
