All Reviews for Black Sand Beach, Waianapanapa Park

This tour was comfortable, informative, and lots of fun. Our guide/driver Brandan is a safe driver and a genuinely nice person. He was born and raised on Maui, so he knew exactly where to go and what to see and do. For me, the best part of the trip was swimming under a waterfall; The cool water was so refreshing. Brandan also has a deep knowledge of Maui's history and Hawaiian culture which was invaluable as we learned so much about Maui's amazing natural environment from him.

This was a great day out and well worth it.

Also, like to give a shout out to our shuttle driver Kevin. He's from our neck of the woods so it was a real pleasure chatting with him.

We had an amazing tour of the Road to Hana! Our tour guide/driver was Clarissa and she was outstanding! Hands down! She knew the road, shared her experience, and was very knowledgeable about the entire tour! Thank you!

We really enjoyed the lunch stop on this tour, with delicious pizza and salad at Hana Farms.

Swimming under waterfalls, exploring the black sand beach, and enjoying stunning coastal, what a day!

Unforgettable day! The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the long drive feel like part of the adventure. We visited several waterfalls (some with short hikes), and the lush rainforest scenery was stunning!

A wonderful experience to see Hana, pricey but worth every dime.

Filled with fun, sights, colorful beaches, Maui and especially Hana has it all - what a dream!

Lots and I mean lots to do and see on this road! We had got so many wonderful scenes throughout.

Guide had lots of funny stories throughout the way, and always made sure we were comfortable on this crazy road!

With one family constantly running late, it drove the guide so mad that he stopped talking mid tour and gave us nothing.. it was sad

The black sand beach was such an awesome stop, we were really happy to have this part taken care of for us as well as a wonderful day!

Sensory overload in the best way, every twist and turn of the road another magical waterfall appears.

This was easy way to hit the road to Hana as we did not want to drive. Loved the black sand beach so much

We were trying to find a perfect mix on Hana and this was it- the local farm stop really made it feel like more than just a stop and go tour!

This was a hit for me. Accommodations (vehicle, drinks, food) were excellent. Tour guide knowledge was excellent. They didn’t beg/guilt trip for tips like every other guided tour in Hawaii which made me happy — this made me more inclined to tip nicely. Don’t hesitate to book this because the guided narration enriches the experience so much. If you’re an adventure seeker, there are two decent options to get wet — one black sand beach at the state park and one waterfall pool.

There is no better place in the world! I could gt lost on the winding roads of hana.

The tour was wonderful and the Hana Farms stop was amazing- such beauty on Hana!

Sammie was our pilot, and we were fortunate enough that it was just our family on the flight. She made us all feel extremely welcomed and took the time to learn our names, which made our flight that much better. We also all enjoyed the fact that our pilot was an instructor and a female (the world needs more female pilots) With a smaller group it’s easier to be more open and ask more questions about what you’re seeing. No one in our family has ever ridden on a helicopter, but we have all flown and it was awesome!! Planes can only maneuver so much, but helicopters give you a different look and feel of flying. Regardless of where you are sitting you get the opportunity to see all that nature has to offer firsthand. It’s also nice to know that everything was being videoed so you can spend more time looking and less time trying to capture it on your phone. She also was a wealth of knowledge around all things in Hawaii and offered recommendations on additional things for us to see.

Our tour guide was ready and waiting for us at the airport as we landed from the helicopter tour with Sammie. He was extremely welcoming and easily buildings one on one relationships with people. He had a very rich background of experiences which he easily incorporated into all aspects of the tour. From local language, culture, history, nature, driving habits of locals vs. tourists, and stops to get one of a kind eats (shave ice… not shaved ice) we experienced it all. My family was the only group, so we all got to spread out and experience that limo van. We had a beachside lunch overlooking black sand beach and got to experience local foods and stories of the area. We got time to visit the beach and got some great pics within a lava tube. The beach was a little busy, but we still found a spot. He also had a vast knowledge of everything we drove by and experienced. We were also surprised at how smooth the ride was. We had just done the Garden of the Gods a few days before.

We got to see so many fabulous Hana waterfalls from above, so gorgeously large and breathtaking! Lunch was an extreme bonus to this already amazing day

David was our driver for the road to Hana and we can’t say enough good things about him. He was very knowledgeable and really made the experience exceptional! He also took great couple photos and was willing to stop for photos. We did venture into the waterfall and the black sand beach so we would recommend swim wear and towels if you are adventurous. Lunch was very good and the helicopter ride back was the icing on the cake!! Over all would rate the experience 10 out of 10.

Hope everyone on Maui is doing okay with the times they faced, we can't stop thinking of our awesome day on Hana!

Fun day with a delicious meal. The windy roads were not horrible either!

Nothing beats the beauty held within all the winds of Hana

This was an awesome and easy guided day, with a bonus of entrance to BSB, where you need to go through the hassle of setting resos so it is awesome they do it for you.

What a day filled with fun!!! Thank you for the team for putting together an amazing day.

Everett was the best tour guide ever and made sure we all we comfortable and had a fabulous time

Damador was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. Provided muffins and waters, then a sandwich for lunch. Would recommend

We really enjoyed the tour. The waterfall stops and lush rainforest scenery were beautiful. The lunch was good. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and informative. The black sand beach was the highlight for us! We loved going the reverse route. We definitely recommend this tour!

Eric did an excellent job and his commentary was very interesting and educational.

Know,edgeable, charming and experienced guide made the tour much more than a drive.
