Private Road to Hana Tour in Maui with SUV

Jerome_B, Aug 2026

Safe and Enjoyable on the Road to Hana

Our driver, Kellen (substituting for Jonas), gave us a safe trip to Hana and back, with fun stops along the way and a comprehensive description of what we were seeing. It was a great day.

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.

Great experience - thank you Stacey!

Had a wonderful experience on our private jeep halfway to Hana tour. Our guide, Stacey, was THE BEST. She shared lots of information (on the landscape, history, different vegetation, animals, etc) as we drove, and really let us make the trip our own on where and when we stopped to check things out. Highly recommend this tour and Stacey as a guide!

Great tour with Katelynn!

We had a wonderful day on our private tour of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park from our cruise ship, thanks to Katelynn! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well organized, and stress-free. Katelynn was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. She answered all of our questions with patience and shared so much interesting information about the volcanoes, the island, and the local history. The scenery was absolutely incredible, and having a private tour allowed us to explore at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed. Katelynn made sure we saw all the highlights while also tailoring the experience to our interests. It was truly one of the best days of our cruise, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii by ship. Thank you, Katelynn, for such a memorable experience!

Private Oahu Food & Farm-Focused Tour | Up to 10 Guests

texmexdiego, May 2026

Amazing first day on Oahu!

This tour was amazing! Diego offered two options... One was free while the other was way more focused on the entire Cacao and Rum experience... We did that one. I'm just appreciative on giving us options. He called us about a week before so we could plan our day. He was able to send a link to help with the tickets so we didnt have to worry about it on our tour day. He stayed with us the entire time helping guide us on where to go. The whole tour was 6 hours but everything timed perfect. He picked us up at the Honolulu pier, held our bags and at the end got us to our hotel with plenty of time to get to our Luau... Couldn't have asked for a better first day on Oahu! Mahalo Diego!

Makapu’u Point Lighthouse Guided Hike

Christine_T, Sep 2025

Lighthouse tour with Nicole !

The walk to the lighthouse was about a mile up a small incline. It had beautiful ocean views, but be prepared as it was very humid. . We wore hats and had plenty of water. Our tour guide, Nicole was very informative, fun and a safe driver. We were the only ones on the tour so it felt personal and she was entertaining! If you want a fun beautiful experience book with Nicole.

Our beautiful Hawaiian Escape

Don our guide, was very down to earth, friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable. He showed us many of the fabulous tourist highlights (Rainbow Falls, Hawaiian Volcanos National Park, Banyan Drive, Hilo, etc.). Which we really enjoyed. However, what we enjoyed the most was how Don provided us with the local perspective on the history, culture, people, native animals and plants. He also took time to give us access to the local cuisine (I loved the poi), shopping and people. We really appreciate how he seeks to develop an authentic relationship with you. We highly recommend this great experience!

HONOLULU CITY TOUR AND VULCAN – In Spanish

VIAJESDECALIDADTOTAL, Jan 2025

Very good service

From the beginning we were attended by Elijah via WhatsApp. Via Email, you don't care, you ask for answers and someone else replies and never complete answers, except for sending invoices Finally, two tours were contracted, Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. He confirmed Elias and we made the full payment. The next day we were immediately sent the invoice. Once hired he gave us ample information about everything. Yes, they have great service experience. Days before arrival we sent an email and we were answered by another person with a reply that was not for Us, however he sent the correct one and everything in order. We talked to Elijah again and everything was ready. Already on the island, the customers very well served and have been satisfied.
