Our guide, Will, was most helpful in giving us tips and guidance to get through Pearl Harbor Memorial efficiently and make the best use of our time. Entertaining and informative!

This was the perfect romantic sunset experience. The views were incredible. Vic is an amazing guide, I'd hire him for any type of Maui tour. A great and knowledge guide who got us in the absolute best spot to witness the sunset. He promptly answered any questions we had before the tour. We asked about what to wear in advanced and he provided us with hoodies and a warm blanket to watch a magical sunset. Vic took many photos throughout the experience for us so we could focus on watching the sunset with each other. Vic is an extremely good/safe driver. He knew so much about Maui. I'd book him again for any kind of tour on the island. I firmly believe this is the best Haleakala Private Sunset Tour you can book. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Maui. You'll remember it for the rest of your life.

I have traveled many places with tour guides, NONE have been as good as Vic. I would consider booking him for anything on Maui. However, this tour was absolutely incredible. The tour was the number highlight of my girlfriend and I's trip to Maui. Before the tour, I inquired about what to wear as we did not pack anything for cold weather on Maui. Vic was ready with 2 hoodies and a warm blanket. The tour started with him picking us up at our hotel. Immediately he provided us with his mother's incredible homemade banana bread and offered us beverages. We then began the drive, throughout the drive he pointed out interesting things along the way. His driving was A+. Multiple times we got out and he took pictures for us at incredibly scenic spots. Eventually, Vic got us to the summit in a great parking spot. He then helped us to the perfect spot to view the sunset, protected from the wind by rocks. Again, he took more photos for us while we prepared to watch an incredible sunset. The view was unlike anything I'd seen before. Despite his excellent photography, I still felt compelled to snap a few pictures with my phone. As some groups started to leave, Vic said just wait because the colors are only going to get better. I am glad we did, photos do not do the sunset justice. The experience was absolutely magical. After all was said and done, I felt lucky to have booked with him. I truly believe this is the best sunset tour and guide you could possibly find on Maui. Anything we needed help with, he was able to assist. He has a great sense of humor and a perfect laid back vibe. More importantly, he is a good person. The next time I am fortunate enough to visit Maui, I will absolutely book with him/Aloha Wild Tours again. I cannot stress how great of a local guide Vic was. A couple days later, he sent us a video of different moments he recorded set to perfect music. I'll always treasure that video of my girlfriend and I from the sunset tour. If you book this tour, you will be treated with the best views of your life and learn a lot about Maui. It was more than just a tour, in the end we made a good friend while seeing the best sunset of our lives. If you are still reading this, stop and book your tour already. You will not regret it.

Summer was a great guide! Very fun, enjoyed it.Felt expensive but it's a good experience.

Our tour guide Will was awesome he knew so much we never forgot a thing! Very friendly and looked out for our safety! We so happy when he said he was doing our nex5 trip Circle Island tour the next day. Men could he drive that bus!

Our guide Brian was amazing, he was knowledgeable and helpful and made our experience well worth the visit!

Shelby was great, we did the half day tour and she made sure to pack in as many sites and activities as we could! She made things easy and customized the tour based on our preferences/what we wanted to do. We were able to explore the lava fields, South Maui, Oneuli Beach, and the inland waterfalls. We even got to see some neat wildlife along the way as well. Would highly recommend for anyone staying in Maui looking for a customized tour of the island!

This tour was hands down, the best we’ve experienced in a long time. Shelby listened and took us to the places we wouldn’t have been otherwise. Off the beaten path and into the lava fields. We saw sea turtles, a monk seal (it was huge!). Then on to the bamboo forest for a hike. We crossed a fast flowing river on our way to see the waterfalls. Amazing isn’t enough. Shelby was knowledgeable and so sweet to entertain us and keep us busy. Time well spent. Money well spent. Perfection. Thank you Cool Hawaii and thank you Shelby.

Great all round trip a bit of everything you want to see. Andres was lovely and a great help Rec to all

Max was amazing and made sure we had a great time. Very knowledgeable and shared a lot of fun facts. He was also very flexible and accommodating with the schedule and our wants and needs. Highly recommend!

Superb beautiful day. Very attentive guide, friendly and attentive to our needs. Thank you thank you thank you for this beautiful unforgettable experience.

Suzie Olsen was the BEST tour guide. My husband and I live in Ewa Beach and our son and his girlfriend were visiting us for Christmas. She picked the four of us up in nearby Kapolei, and drove us first to Makua Cave. On the drive there she told us the real history of Hawai'i and entertained us with her life experiences. She regaled us with fun and interesting facts about all of the major Hawaiian islands. Susie being a local definitely adds a deeper layer to her knowledge of Hawaiian culture as she has lived it! :) We had never been to Makua Cave and I don't think we would have found it on our own even though the entrance is right along Farrington! We also went to Pray for Sex Beach, which we never knew existed and is a beautiful, local beach with deep, white sand better than Waikiki and without the crowds. We went up as far north as we could before the road ends and saw another beautiful beach with picturesque lava rock formations that the tide rolled over like small waterfalls. My favorite stop was Mermaid Caves. We planned is so we were there at low tide, and Susie brought us a ladder so we could go down into the Mermaid Cave with the best view! I am so glad Susie was there to guide us how to get in and out, as the cave is really tight and we would not have attempted this on our own! Mermaid Cave at low tide is a magical site with the sunlight coming through the holes in the lava rock above creating colors of aqua and yellow on the water. Susie took absolute stunning pictures of me and my son in the cave from her phone and airdropped them to us. She actually took lots of pictures of us at each stop and airdropped them all to us, and I am so thankful as they are a great reminder of this special day! The sites Susie took us to are hidden gems of Oahu that even folks who have lived here for years may never have experienced or seen. Mahalo nui loa Susie!

It was an excellent journey and had great experiences. Tourist guide is awesome, he had plenty of knowledge about area as well as the history of island. I would definitely refer to my friends n family.

We took a day trip over from Big Island with the Aloha team doing the leg work on planning and driving. Our driver, Jeremiah (Miah), embodied the spirit of aloha with the tour, his driving, and his knowledge of his beautiful paradise.

Knowable friendly very enjoyable day. Went to places to tourists normally don’t see. Would highly recommend her. Great day. Can tailor your tour to your interests
