Wonderful Halfway to Hana Excursion!

Highly recommend this tour with Magic Of Maui. Dana was helpful with booking and answering questions we had. Yvonne our personal tour guide did a great job at giving us a wonderful excursion and providing us with lots of knowledge along the way. Was thankful to have her navigate the Road To Hana so we could enjoy the views.

William_B, Sep 2026

Exhilarating & 💯 Breathtaking

My wife and I aren’t much for shopping or swimming, but put us on an FUV and we’re having a blast instantly!! The FUV is simple to operate and the instructor does a good job making sure you understand. After a quick couple laps we were off to see the beautiful island. Following the guide is basic and the stops breathtaking. Although we didn’t stop to shop at any of the cool local stores or swim the beautiful beaches, my wife and I had the best time…. In fact I’d say it was the most fun of all of the activities we’ve done on the island!

Have them drive so you can enjoy the ride!

This is a beautiful winding ride through the jungle. It is best to let someone local who knows the road do the driving so you can just enjoy the views of the flora, fauna and lovely waterfalls. Our driver Nick knew the best spots and was knowledgeable about all the places we were seeing. We would definitely do it again!

Thank you John for helping us survive the Road to Hana!

We had a wonderful experience with John who led us on the road to Hana! We are a big family of 7, so having a private car made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. John provided many snacks, drinks, phone chargers and more! He was incredibly knowledgeable of the island’s history and culture. We loved being able to hear stories of Maui alongside seeing amazing landmarks. Thank you John for a wonderful day! We will definitely come back again!

Haleakala Sunsets Rock!

See all the beautiful colors without getting up at 2 AM! Michael was a wonderful guide who was truly passionate about Haleakala National Park. The views on the way up are spectacular and not driving allowed us all the ability to enjoy them. The sunset was amazing but what we most enjoyed was seeing the stars. Breathtaking! It was nice having a choice from a menu for dinner. Also, there were plenty of bathroom spots. Getting a chance to talk to the Menehune was fun.

Best way to travel

Dayanidhi was an amazing guide! If you have kids he’s incredible with them! He was so informative and kind hearted and a great driver. If you’re looking to drive the road to Hana this is the way to go. They communicate well and run right on time with a car prepared for anything and everything! Plus they take pictures for you! thanks so much again you guys!! 🤍

Half Day Private VIP Road to Hana Tour

patriciacN6869AG, Jul 2026

Trip of a lifetime!

The Half Road to Hana was more than our family of 9 expected. We were in two different vehicles but our guides, Spencer and Luke, provided us with a most memorable experience. Both were very knowledgeable about the surroundings, the history of the area and were always willing to take our questions. Both were humorous and polite young men. While at a waterfall, our son and oldest granddaughter jumped off the waterfall after being guided and instructed ever so carefully as to how to jump safely. Needless to say they were beyond excited about their successful jumps! And the guides jumped as well. All jn all it was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii and thank you to the guides for making it so!

One of the best tours I have ever taken

One of the best tours that I have ever taken in all of my travels. Our driver was very knowledgeable, great stories and historical points. The hike was beautiful and rewarding. They worked with me on my last minute change to my pickup point without hassle. I definitely know who I am calling the next time I come to the biggest island in Hawaii.

Kona Shore Excursion: Kona Cloud Forest, Coffee & Sea Turtles

An Ethereal Experience

The Kona Cloud Forest tour was the highlight of my entire Norwegian cruise of all the Hawaiian Islands. I quickly realized I was walking through an undisturbed rain forest and began to understand the special, unique connection of these living organisms. It really was an ethereal, other worldly experience.

Private Luxury Tour of Kauai: North & East Shores

Terry S, May 2026

NE Kauai Private tour with Orlando was great

Very enjoyable day stopping to see or quickly explore various locations on North and east side of Kauai. Orlando met us right inside the harbor (we arrived in Pride of America) and we were quickly on our way in a very comfortable car. He drove very responsibly and provided lots of information about each location and highlights as we drove. They even modified the schedule when we wanted to walk out to the lighthouse at the Kilauea Lighthouse Wildlife Refuge as opposed to just stopping at overlook. When we stopped, Orlando typically gave an overview of the area and snapped a picture of us. Very pleasant tour!
