Maui Private Sightseeing Tours

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!

Arjuna truly exceeded our expectations on this tour! He was so knowledgeable about the forest and the plants. The chocolate was the best part! He contributed to us feeling safe in an unknown area, he is truly the BEST! I would recommend this tour to anyone as long as Arjuna is leading it!

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.

Family owned and operated experience that was completely personalized. The road to Hana is a scenic yet slightly scary experience and we felt safe the entire way. Heidi shared her love and knowledge of the island, allowing our family to expand our vacation horizons.

This was an excellent opportunity to see the island and gain some insights about cultural and historical intricacies. We only stopped at about a quarter of the stops and it took us 5 hours one way; 8 hours total. So plan on a full day's event. Also note that much of the roads are incredible views but treacherous driving.

This was FANTASTIC! As an incentive travel planner for Fortune companies, I would easily buy this many times over for self-guided tours in rental vehicles or other.THE BAD: The track kept skipping on each narration the first few seconds...not sure if this was a signal or coding issue. It would repeat the first sentence then keep going...got annoying after about 60 tracks. Hope they fix this!THE GOOD: It was auto-triggered by the geofence to begin the narration. They were short, yet had enough detail to satisfy or possibly search for more. The fact that the Narrator told you what to expect and kept in touch even when there may have been a turnoff or small stop, it was nice. You can mute or replay it as many times as you like, unlike tour guide with corny jokes. The app was very helpful, although not the perfect user-friendly version it could be knowing what "password" to input. Be sure to download this and "activate" the code/password BEFORE you get in to Paia! After that, good luck. We had about a 99% success rate using it and could easy troubleshoot what may have happened if we didn't...simply due to the geofence as you drive through the areas or double back for some that were dead ends (parks, sights, etc) and had to go back the original direction.WHAT TO DO: THE FULL LOOP! The Narrator suggested NOT to do so, BUT, if you are a SEASONED driver and are NOT scared of potential bumps, limited sight, tight turns, drop-offs...or grew up in Italy in the mountains...you'll be FINE! The "reverse" is NOT for young or scared drivers who can't deal with steep drop-offs, potholes, extremely narrow roads and more...if you're one to be in the left lane going under the MPH when it's raining...don't do the reverse...but that's ONLY for about 5-10 minutes AT MOST after you get out of Hana. Once you get past that stretch...WHICH IS TOTALLY WORTH IT; it's ALL PAVED ROADS back around! I'd say 2-5 miles of more loose gravel/rough road, then it's smooth sailing...but you WILL need to drive 5mph in some areas due to the very tight, blind corners and be prepared to BACK UP in these areas if you come across oncoming traffic...but it's only a couple times for maybe 50-100yds. SLOW and STEADY in these couple areas and that's it! If you are nervous, anxious, or one of those drivers who get ANY feeling of hesitance in roads NOT on common streets, just let someone else drive it. You will need some gut instinct and common sense to do the reverse...but the views, sight seeing opportunities and more are AMAZING and ISOLATED! I recommend NOT to drive this after dark...no lights, lots of limited sight areas (many dozens), give yourself about an hour for this reverse to do the full loop after you leave Hana. You'll see some civilization later and it's only ONE road in/out! You will literally get dropped back where you started close to Paia as there are no public roads down to Kihei area...so just plan accordingly. We left at 10am, stopped at most stops (except the Lava Tube and State Park with Admission), but stopped at the small side quests and got photos and stayed 5-10m and enjoyed the constant rainy on/off weather. We hiked a few of the trails and did the waterfalls, "Oprah's beach"...in all, we spent about 7-8 hours with the full loop quest, but could have easily been 8-10 hours had we started at 8am. So if you're one of those explorers, give yourself 12 hours for the full loop and time to stop at just about everything...if you're just wanting to say you did it, go before 10am so you can be back aroundALSO: Inexperienced and rude drivers don't understand how to take turns across bridges...you'll see why when you go...so be assertive on your turn to cross or you'll get taken advantage of and have some upset drivers behind you. If you have cars behind you, pull OFF and let them pass. Don't let your sightseeing stop commerce for the locals!I would buy narrations from this Seller again!

My family of three were picked up from our hotel in Lahaina by our driver/tour guide, Lyman. Lyman was personable, funny, super knowledgeable of the area and island, and a great driver! He was mindful of our interests, needs and comfort. We had snacks and lunch at some local spots and developed a newfound appreciation for the nature and beauty that Maui has to share! The tour was about nine hours long, but time flew by and we hardly noticed how long we had been driving around from start to finish.

Jesse was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about cultural and geographical history of the area, oceanography etc. Saw only one sea turtle but it was huge and beautiful, swam under our canoe and came up to surface to say hello!

Great experience. The commentary was excellent with optional view points so if you wanted to venture off the guided tour you could and rejoin later. I would highly recommend the tour.

It was a great experience, but what made it exceptional was a tour guide David Wright! He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and an all around cool guide! Definitely worth the money spent!

This was a last minute excursion. Alex was a great outrigger skipper! We saw quite a few green sea turtles! He was very informative and we had a blast! We had our 12 year old that loved it!

We used the tour on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. We drove everywhere. Learned so much and found new things! We named him Booger!

The tour was wonderful with so much great information! We also loved the Hawaiian music in between information stops on the map. There were great reminders of what we had coming up to see and it was super easy to plan on our trip accordingly.

This self-guided audio tour was perfect for us!! We were able to go at our own pace and soak up all the majestic beauty of Haleakala! It was magnificent, the audio was spot on with what we were seeing. It included local stories and so many facts about the geography and history which gave a special meaning to our trip. It was a wonderful way to see all the beauty that Maui has to offer!! Thank you for giving us a fabulous day!!

This guided tour was amazing and very educational. Second time on the Road to Hanna and this definitely was the way to go.

We had an incredible experience with Lyman. We felt privileged to get the Hana experience from a true local . Lyman is a funny and special person that was generous with his time, energy, and effort. Hope we can do it again in the future!
