5.00Great tour! Larry was easy going, knowledgeable and he waited for us when we were a little late! I highly recommend!
A Definite Must-Do

5.00Definitely a great idea to take the road to Hana with an experienced tour guide! The switchbacks and the beautiful scenery would have made it difficult for an inexperienced traveler to navigate. Jerry, our driver/guide, was a great! He was knowledgeable and personable - made sure we all got questions answered and needs met. Only hiccup was a delay in our pickup due to an accident on the road and some guests being late to their pickup but that is not the fault of Maholo Tours at all. They were texting me updates as to their ETA and even the driver called to apologize and give me his arrival time. Great trip! I highly recommend!

3.00Unfortunately, we experienced heavy rain during the tour, which meant we had to skip some of the much-anticipated stops, but we were fortunate that at the places we did stop there was a welcomed break in the weather. In addition, there was some tension caused by an avoidable disagreement between the driver/guide and passengers, which affected the overall atmosphere. Despite this, we tried to make the most of the experience. We were able to try the famous banana bread and Huli Huli chicken—both were delicious. The tour also provided water, fruit, and snacks, which was a nice touch. Adam, our guide, is a knowledgeable local and shared some great tips on places to explore, which we really appreciated. Also the road is definitely not for the faint heart to drive on your own many blind corners and one lane sections make it very tricky and made us grateful for being a passenger not a driver. Plus it means you can enjoy the awesome view without hindering local traffic
Not worth it, you can do the your on your own

2.00We picked this tour because it was small- 6 to 8 people and we got picked up from our hotel. Unfortunately our pickup was at 712 am and then we drove to a spot and waited 45 minutes for other customers. We didn’t get on the round until almost 845. I called from the van to complain and the company said it was my fault I picked a bad day. Once the tour started, we were behind the traffic. We had several stops and always seemed to be waiting for someone to get back to the van or stopping for the bathroom. The best place is the black sand beach and we only got 1 hour there which is not enough time if you want to swim. You really don’t do anything in Hana but drive through and turn around. The only saving grace was the tour guide Adam was excellent. Patient, kind and very informative. I would not take this tour. Overpriced for a “ride” and you have to follow the group. I would either rent a car for the day and drive yourself. If you do, go online and get a reservation to stop at the black sand beach. If you don’t want to drive, I would do a private tour with your group only. There are several to choose from.
Mahalo Tours was Great

5.00Enjoyed our Road to Hana today. Our driver, Larry, was so knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture. His narration was interesting and never boring. He was delightful, a safe driver and a great storyteller - a true Hawaiian Encyclopedia!! Food and snacks were good. I highly recommend Mahalo Tours. We chose the “small group” tour. This certainly made it a more enjoyable experience.
Do NOT use Viator or Mahalo Tours

1.00I was racially profiled by a white tour guide and mistreated in front of the entire group as a solo black female traveler! I was told that talking in the van was not something amenable with the tour guide. I had to spend over 8 hours feeling incredibly unsafe, disrespected and not cared for at all! I did not want to be left over an hour from my Airbnb so I sucked the behavior up. Viator refuses to issue my refund and is completely downplaying how this all happened. From the time I walked up to the van, I was made to the stand in the rain to check in. Once in the van, I was asked “if I wanted to share my life story with everyone in the van” because I was having a low toned conversation with another patron in the van. I was made to feel that because of my race and my gender, I needed to be quiet. The other patron was a white woman and was not at all scorned for having a conversation. I was not over talking the tour guide nor was I loud so I don’t understand why I couldn’t engage in a simple conversation while we were driving to our destination. These one off experiences have a way of becoming the fault of the patron and not the tour company but I beg you, if you are SOLO, FEMALE AND BLACK, do NOT use Viator or Mahalo Tours for any tour experiences. It isn’t worth the hassle and poor experience whatsoever.
Road to Hana Tour! Take Dynamic Tour Maui and ask for John Calle!

5.00We were Blessed with an Excellent Guide/Driver and Fantastic Day! This was my second and my Wife's third trip experiencing the Road to Hana. Our Guide and Driver John Calle was both knowledgeable and entertaining regarding things to see on "the Road" and many historical aspects of Maui and Hawaii. We couldn't recommend John and Dynamic Tour Maui enough!!! (I had the Spam Musubi for Breakfast and Lunch, and could eat them again right now!) Mahalo nui loa John! Paul and Marcia Lambert

5.00Great driver. He was so personable and was accommodating to anything we wanted. Definitely the way to go to see the road.
A must do!!

5.00This is an all day excursion but totally worth it. The food and snacks were delicious and it's a lot safer than driving yourself. You learn a lot and get to see everything. Charlie, our tour guide, was a lot of fun, knowledgeable and took great photos! We had a wonderful time.
Beautiful scenery and excellent tour guide.

5.00Beautiful scenery and a great driver. Don’t try to drive this yourself as you will miss the beauty around you. Glen our guide, was so knowledgeable and caring about our group. We had snacks and a wonderful hot lunch. I highly recommend this company and all they represent.
