Private Road to Hana Maui Open-Air Jeep Tour

naomifR1588LE, Sep 2026

Magical Maui tour

We did two tours with Vicente, and it were the best tour experiences we ever had.Vicente shared history, background information and fun facts during the tour with us. He showed us all kinds of flowers and plants while passing by on the road to Hana. He knows where are delicious lunch and dinner places. He is super professional, thoughtful in every way and a fantastic, versed driver. We felt welcomed, safe and in good hands all time.

Surfing with Jedi at Maui Surfer Girls in Lahaina

Jedi was super supportive and got me up on the surfboard in no time. I honestly didn't think it was possible due to issues with my knees. He was very patient with me and cheered me on every step of the way. It was an amazing experience and I learned so much about the geography of the ocean, the etiquette of surfing and most especially the Zen of being at one with the ocean. Thank you, Jedi!

Surf's up, thumbs up!

I have never surfed before and truly had a blast! Dan was a phenomenal instructor and helped me feel comfortable and confident on the water. By the end of the lesson, I was surfing slightly bigger and faster waves! Kiki the photographer also captured exceptional photos during the lessons. Thank you Maui Surfer Girls for a wonderful experience and the great work you do in the community!

Llama Sunset Hike

LovetoTravelAZ, Aug 2026

Best Tour Ever!! Book it!

A sunset hike with a llama? Yes please! This was so much fun! The llamas were awesome as was our tour guide Christine. We each got our own llama, mine was Sina and my husband’s was Killian. They were very well trained and we learned a lot about llamas during our walk. It was completely foggy, so no sunset views but we had llamas! The llamas were the highlight. Christina was an excellent guide. Very friendly and great to talk to!Highly recommend this tour!

Must Do Snorkeling Adventure

We had an A+++ experience on this excursion! There was a small miscommunication with my booking, but Barbie was incredibly accommodating and made everything right. She truly has a heart of gold. It's obvious that she's passionate about giving back to her community, especially by making snorkeling accessible for those with disabilities. Her kindness and dedication are just as impressive as the tour itself.Barbie also sends a text the night before with clear directions on where to meet and exactly what to expect.The tour begins with an amazing presentation. I don't want to give away any details because I don't want to spoil it, but it's informative, engaging, and really sets the tone for the experience. If you've ever been hesitant about snorkeling or are concerned about safety, make this your very first snorkeling adventure. Safety was clearly the top priority from start to finish.I've been on more than 50 snorkeling excursions, and this was the first time my family was given magnetic shark deterrent ankle bands. That extra attention to safety really stood out and gave us even more confidence in the water.Viktor was our guide, and we had an absolute blast with him! He made sure everyone felt safe while showing us every square inch of one of the most beautiful bays in Maui. Along the way, he pointed out pufferfish, eels, turtles, and so much other amazing marine life that we would have completely missed on our own. He was knowledgeable, fun, and made the experience unforgettable.My kids especially loved using the sea scooters. After Viktor showed them a few tricks, they were doing somersaults underwater! My son even pulled off a double somersault with the sea scooter!This excursion was a 10/10 in every way. Between Barbie's genuine compassion and commitment to her guests and community, and Viktor's incredible guidance and enthusiasm, this was easily one of the best excursions we've ever done. I can't recommend it enough. Don't leave Maui without experiencing it, you won't regret it!

Jill was amazing. It was our first time on Maui and she made sure to steer us towards truly unique experiences and away from some tourist traps. The ride in the Bronco truly provided an immersive experience of being in the rainforest and her skill in navigating the road in on/off rainy conditions left us able to take it all in. Black and red sand beaches, turtles, George, Huli Huli chicken, waterfalls, you name it! Truly unforgettable experience!

Sunrise Spectacular

So worth getting up at 2 am for this excursion! Our guide was excellent and got us there an hour before sunrise so that we had a great viewing position. The pre-dawn moon and stars were beautiful. The sunrise was just spectacular. We had a delicious breakfast following our drive down the volcano. A great 6 hours. Should not be missed.

Do it! Very memorable.

I love this experience. I flew with Armin like 25 years ago and today took my daughter and her friend. They loved it as much as I did years ago. It really is worth the cost. I flew so long ago and still remember it as one of the most memorable things I have done. Once in a lifetime experience. I was so excited when I called to set an appointment Armin was still doing this!
