Waianapanapa State Park Tours

Great trip! Really loved just being able to enjoy the ride and views and not have to worry about driving. Our guide Dom was great and was super safe and gave us a great experience

Great excursion. The guide was knowledgeable. I would recommend this excursion to others. Overall this was a positive experience. There was a lot to see and do.

Had the most amazing experience with Lisa! She made the trip exciting, she was fun, personable, and made it one of the best tours I have ever been on.

We had an excellent experience. We enjoyed the historical road to Hana in Maui. Salesi, our historian bus driver guide was very professional and informative with an entertaining sense of humor. His first goal for all on the bus was safety, and second was fun and entertainment. He is an excellent and safe driver demonstrated by negotiating the 260 curves up and down “s” curves in the road.Mahalo!

Salesi was an exceptional tour guide for the Road to Hana. He gave very clear instructions at each stop. His historical overview of Maui enriched the day with cultural appreciation we couldn't have gotten had we drove iit on our own. The food and drink along the way was amazing! Wonderful day🤙🏻

Quinn was a great guide, knowledgeable and extremely friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend. Quinn really made the day, excellent time

The road is windy and narrow and had a lot if traffic. Our driver and guide John made it seem easy and safe. He researched all the places, plants, shells and music and made it very informative and also enjoyable. He was obliging and caring of our safety .

Traveling with John was a good amount of fun as he had a curated Playlist for the road to Hana though he was about 6 songs shy for the full trip. He seemed very knowledgeable about the local culture and had some fun facts that he was able to share with the group. The ford transit is starting to show its age and it may be time for a good Ole detailing to cleanup some of the dirt from floor and seats from previous adventures.

A long day, but totally worth the time for sure. The lunch was good, our guide Ed was funny and full of information and the stops were gorgeous.

We had a great experience on our half-day Road to Hana tour! Our guide Shayne was excellent with my parents—patient, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. He took us to some beautiful waterfalls and a few hidden spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. It was a wonderful way to experience the Road to Hana, and we’d definitely recommend this tour!

Don't try this on your own. Reserve a tour so you can relax and enjoy the view Plan for rain and hope for sunshine. We enjoyed both.

So first the things I liked: the tour was breathtaking. When we didn't get out, the driver slowed down or stopped so we got to take pictures, which I really appreciated. The tour guide was nice (I'm sorry I couldn't remember his name, long curly/wave dark hair) and gave a lot of fun facts, history and insightful information about Maui and the places we saw. He even took pictures of us at some of the stops which was really nice. We stopped at many gorgeous, stunning locations and had plenty of time to explore and take pictures. We got to stop for delicious ice cream as well as a sweets stand! Overall definitely recommend, we got to see A LOT in just one day. Didn't have to worry about parking, driving, getting lost, it's a really good deal! Now the things I didn't like and hope they improve going forward: so as a solo traveler, whenever I do these tours, since the whole bus is filled with families and couples, they always have me sit up front. It just makes sense.. well for some reason that left me truly baffled, the tour guide split up a married couple, had the husband sit in the front seat and had me sit in the very back.. I was very, very confused. In addition, it's rather difficult to hear the tour guide in the very back, as the speaker is not very loud. At times, you couldn't hear him at all because some people were talking to each other. Anyway.. another complaint is that during the 9-ish hour trip, we were only offered water ONCE at lunch time. When we asked if anyone wanted water, I loudly stated yes please and raised my hand, but he apparently did not hear me so I recieved no water until then next stop when I had to explicitly ask him for a water. I found this to be very odd and I ended up with a headache from the dehydration. I had to dry swallow an excedrin before it turned into a migraine. Not fun.. Another thing was when we stopped at a state park for 1 hour, he told us we'd be having lunch and then we could go explore. I was excited because I was quite hungry. However, a few minutes after walking to the site, the tour guide changed his mind and said actually we'll have lunch at the next stop but we'll keep this stop at an hour still. I was disappointed but what can you do? So I went off exploring. We were told to meet back at the van at 11:30. I, along with two other couples arrived back at the bus at 11:27 to find everyone else had finished their lunch??? So because they didn't want to explore for the full hour, they wanted to sit in the bus and wait, he decided to give them their lunch early? Well if I had known that, I'd have been back earlier. So we had to eat our lunch in a very bumpy, unsteady bus while driving to the next stop. YOU try putting sauce on a wrap in those conditions without making a total mess... it's a bit frustrating, especially having to again eat a meal with no water. It's quite literally in the booking title "lunch, water, chips". It's laughable but honestly it was worrisome because the hot , humid Hawaiian weather really dries you out, especially walking/ hiking around. And my one final gripe: the drop off process. So we finished the tour around 3 and began dropping off people at their hotels. My problem is that he passed by me and a few other guests hotels to get to the other guests hotels first.. listen, I totally understand the logic, first in, first out. HOWEVER, almost 1.5 hours was added onto our trip because he chose to drive all the way to their hotels instead of just dropping people off at which ever hotels are on the way/ come first.. it just didn't make any sense at all to me to drive all the way to one area, just to have to drive all the way back to the first area to drop off other guests. In the future, maybe figure out a way to end the trip closer to the people you pick up first. Why keep multiple guests in the van for almost 90 more minutes instead of just dropping them off..? I struggle to understand. So hopefully these things can be fixed/improved, otherwise it was a great trip.

Great experience. Charlie, our guide, was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He made several stops that we would not have done if traveling alone and never made us feel rushed at any of the stops.

John was a great tour guide. He shared lots of information about the area and answered all our questions. He kept us moving but at a very comfortable pace. Highly recommend instead of driving yourself so you can enjoy the Road to Hana.

The road to Hāna is a beautiful drive. Tristen our driver and guide was very informative and attended to all of our needs. There was some extra time and he showed us a few extra places the were amazing.

Our tour guide Lepa was amazing! Told us great stories both personal and about the island. Had the wonderful Spirit of Aloha 🌈 Road to Hana was my favorite day of my trip.
