Very interesting (info) and beautiful guided tour
Reviewed by: B Simmons, 2020/03/12The road to Hana (the ACTUAL road) is long and arduous at times. Through tropical rain forest style topography, this part of the island is deep in native history - stories and parables that influence life there to this day. The road is often VERY VERY narrow, and many miles of it, dirt and unpaved. Besides it not being a great idea to put your rental car through that, its much more comfortable taking the guided tour. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and shared with us many stories of the rich history. Several stops along the way to swim in pools below waterfalls, have lunch and numerous photo-op stops at black beaches and shoreline vistas. It makes for a LONG day, but well worth it.

The tour locations were great and our driver was amazing. The tour guide did not share much about the area. Most tour guides are extremely knowledgeable of their land, especially when they are local but not him
Reviewed by: New to Maui guest, 2019/04/22Highly recommend this tour! You really see the diversity of the island. The waterfalls are beautiful, the banana bread was delicious and seeing both sides of the island made you get a real feel for Maui.

An Awesome Day!
Reviewed by: DLG - Norman, OK, 2016/10/26This was an amazing adventure to take! The only thing I would want to change and suggest is to bring a cushion. The seats on the bus were extremely uncomfortable. Also, I wished we would have stopped at more waterfalls, seemed to rush through them pretty quickly, but I figured they have a set schedule and placement with all the other tours. It might be better to be different and step out of the norm of all the other charters? Anyway, I did enjoy the driver Larry, he was so knowledgeable and sometimes funny!

Gorgeous views, very long day
Reviewed by: Maureen, 2016/03/28The tour overall, for the ticket price, is worth it. Our family of four went on the Gold package which included lunch and it was a good value for the dollar.
On the way up you drive through beautiful rainforests and curvy roads. The driver is informative and gives a lot of good info - wish he was more interactive with the visitors.
On the way down, you go through the back side -- very bumpy and not as beautiful. This is when you realize it's a very long day. I was very thankful our driver was competent and made us feel safe as the roads were precarious in some spots.
Overall, a good day -- just very long. I do think it was better to take the tour vs drive ourselves because it would have been hard to see anything other than focusing on the road. And we learned about a lot of things we wouldn't have known otherwise. Not going to do this again though - once is enough!

Nice tour
Reviewed by: YBD , 2016/01/01The tour was good overall. Due to weather we didnt get to swim by the waterfalls, I wish they had offered another option like more time in black sand beach, knowing that it was impossible to swim in the other part. (I had brought my swimsuit, towel and extra clothes). I liked it that they offered complimentary juices and water bottles on the bus. If you don't pay for the tour that includes lunch, there are more options to find good food walking distance from where the bus stops for lunchtime, so I didn't regret not paying for that

Awesome experience
Reviewed by: Sachin Gupta, 2015/12/01Awesome tour . Very scenic drive . Our tour guide was Charles, he knew everything about all the places we went through right after we started from hotel until back . He knew exactly where to stop or slow down to take awesome pics or view the beauty of Hana . 5 on 5 for this beautiful tour and knowledgable guide.. I took 1 star for the lunch provided . Breakfast was light fruits and rolls and being on entire day trip, we were expecting a better lunch . Besides salad , steamed rice and watermelon, there was chicken and being vegetarian this did not feel like lunch . We got a veg taco plate when asked about the veg option, which was equally bad and cold
Apart from this I would say this is a must do if in Muai to see actual nature ..

Road to Hana
Reviewed by: Kandyce Zhong , 2015/11/27Overall it was a very fun trip. However the trip time wise is a little too long. The food wise too need a little improvement. It was only a little rice and bbq chicken. This trip include a simple breakfast too, but don't expect a continental breakfast. It's just coffee fruits and croissant. Thank you Steve our driver and our guide for the informative trip and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. You will never get to view all the scenery spots if you didn't attend this trip. We went to see a few water falls, it was absolutely beautiful, however we weren't able to swim in the pools as they were closed on that day. We went to black sand beach also, the sands are black, it's really cool... We took awesome lots of picture, it's definitely a memory that you will never forget. Advise to not go to the trip if you're tiered or sick cuz it's a energy consuming trip. Overall you will have fun.

Nice scenery
Reviewed by: Jesper, 2015/02/09The scenery along Road to Hana is nice, it's an impressive ride. We got to stop where possible, and the driver tried to add some little spots here and there for quick extra photo opportunities.
I was most impressed with the final part of the road that nobody seems to mentions: the part after the Seven Pools which goes through the barren drier south side of the Haleakala. I liked this scenery a lot!
Be aware: if you want to stay on a budget: lunch is very expensive at the chosen restaurant. I brought my own lunch, which turned out to be the right choice.

great day!
Reviewed by: Joanne, 2013/08/24Our guide Ed was very informative throughout the tour. I would recommend taking a tour rather than driving it, the bus drivers know the roads well so you feel safe. Other people have mentioned it was a bumpy ride but i didnt think so. There is nothing much in Hana itself, its more the journey getting there, great scenery...

what a road!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/01/29I would not recommend driving it yourself, too much to see and the road is unbeliveable - one lane, hairpin corners, all usually on the side of a cliff!
Our driver was fairly new and forgot or didn't know alot of things we saw along the way.
