Maui Eco-Raft: 2 Hour Dolphin Watch Sightsee Tour (Semi-Private)

Dot_S, Sep 2026

Book It!!!

Captain Zach and crewmember Meredith could not have been more knowledgeable or helpful. They were both so engaging and had so much interesting information to share with us. We got lucky and saw dolphins shortly after we departed and boy did we see 100’s of them. Fantastic excursion and Zach and Meredith made it better because of the interesting things they shared with us!!

Road to Hana Deluxe Rainforest & Waterfall Experience from Maui

Charlotte_M, Sep 2026

Road to Hana experience

Lisa was hands down the best tour guide we have ever had. Full of energy from the start, she immediately treated us like ohana—her "kids." Throughout the tour, she shared incredible stories about Maui, the history of the island's unique trees, and local lore that kept everyone completely engaged. The culinary highlights were unforgettable: we tasted fresh strawberry guava straight off the tree, sampled different varieties of bananas, enjoyed local banana bread, and tasted chocolate straight from the field. It was obvious in everything she did that she genuinely wanted us to experience the very best of Maui. Lisa told us at the beginning of the tour that we were a family now, and we better act like it! She had a wonderful way of bringing everyone together to share and connect, and by the end of the day, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye to both her and our new friends. An absolute must-do experience!.

Splurge Worthy Way to Explore the Road to Hana

Our Road to Hana private tour with our guide, Honesty, was amazing!The vehicle was of course top notch, the scenic drive was breathtaking, and Honesty was such a genuine person and guide and taught us a lot throughout the day. She was prepped with ponchos, umbrellas, hand sanitizer, even toilet paper. Her knowledge of local fauna and even grabbing edible flowers for us to try was super fun.The weather was on our side the entire day with few crowds making for quicker stops at popular sites like Sandy's Banana Bread and a near crowd-less waterfall (which we climbed and jumped off of!).The Black Sand Beach might've been our favorite spot and was surreal to see in person.Would highly recommend the splurge and booking fully private, so you aren't subject to waiting for other guests' throughout the day. We were able to tailor exactly how 'adventurous' we wanted to be and where we wanted to eat, see, and do throughout the day.

Group Surf Lessons from Kaanapali Beach

Matthew_D, Aug 2026

Surfing USA

I tried surfing for the first time ever in Hawaii! I had such a blast in the group lesson and met a lot of nice people! The instructor’s Devon and Theo were very friendly and knowledgeable about surfing and they were very encouraging to everyone as most of us were all newbies. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to try something new and get out of their comfort zone. I will say it is quite the workout to paddle out to the waves and does get exhausting. If you are aren’t in decent physical shape and very comfortable around the ocean I would caution you for safety to make sure this is something you are comfortable doing. It was a blast and I can’t wait to go back to Maui and try again!

Great lesson

We had the best private surf lesson with Austin! He was patient, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe and confident in the water from the very first wave. His expert coaching got us both standing up and riding in no time. If you're looking for a top-notch surf lesson, ask for Austin—you won't be disappointed!

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!

Fantastic Day with a Local on The Road to Hāna

Rick picked us up at our hotel. He was actually a few minutes early, so very prompt! We had a terrific day. He grew up in Hawaii and was very knowledgeable about the foliage and the sights of interest. The Road to Hana is a difficult drive for those not familiar with it. There are many one lane bridges and 600+ twists and turns. I would highly recommend getting a driver who has done the route many, many times. Rick is a fantastic driver and we felt very safe. The Cadillac Escalade was super comfortable! Rick made a special effort for us to see the Green Sea Turtles on the beach!

Best day on Maui!

My family and I had the best afternoon exploring waterfalls and bamboo jungles with Lauren! She was so informative about the island and took us on an amazing adventure! We loved looking at all the pictures and videos after our hike. I’ve been coming to Maui for 20 years and can’t believe this was the first time taking this tour. It was honestly my favorite day of our vacation. Lauren made our experience so magical which gave us a whole new appreciation for the island!
