We tried incredibly fresh local food & visited a great local craft stand so we could bring back momentos from our Road to Hana adventure. ❤️❤️❤️Written 9 January 2024
- Heather O0 contributionsMaui’s Best Tour GuideWe had a fantastic day with Fi as our guide in February 2022. She’s fun and knowledgeable about the island’s history. A customized tour with her is the best way to see Maui! We will book a tour with her on our next trip!Written 27 November 2023

- SweetToothATL0 contributionsAmazing Day!Our family of 7 hired Maui’s Private Guide for a private Road to Hana Tour. We had an amazing day with Fi as our tour guide. She kept us out of the touristy spots and had some off the beaten path suggestions. We highly recommend not trying to drive these roads yourself so you can enjoy the beauty. She was also a wealth of knowledge from the history of the land to the types of plants we were passing - we had a great timeWritten 13 July 2023
- lexid910 contributionsThankful for this experience!Our trip to Maui would not have been complete without this tour! The guide was so knowledgeable, listened to what we wanted to do, and showed us way more than we would’ve seen on our own. Her passion for the island shined throughout the day and we couldn’t be more grateful for this experience. Mahalo :)Written 18 May 2023
- matthewdZ5913RX0 contributionsAmazing from start to finish!Trip and company was a great experience starting at booking. Bryan had great communication. Day before the tour answering final questions. Tour guide (Fiorella) was AMAZING! She was waiting for us at the airport when we landed. Picked us up and got started so we didn't waste any time, since we were only visiting for a few hours from Oahu. She took us to spots we wanted to see and had some suggestions and added extras along the way. By far the best tour I've ever taken and I've traveled around the world! Thank you again Bryan and Fiorella...I will definitely be back the next time family comes to the islands for a visit.Written 28 March 2023

We had Keenan as a tour guide. He was very personable and had everything we could have needed for comfort or emergency available. Having a private tour guide is the best way to enjoy and experience the Road to Hana. This is our 2nd time using this tour company and I would highly recommend them. Keenan took us to a lava tube and it was apparent that he has taken time to learn all he could from the owner to give us our own personal tour of the tube. He also took us down to a waterfall and took pictures of everyone in the group swimming and standing underneath the waterfall. It was a full day and our friends who had never experienced the Road to Hana before said it was one of the best experiences they had. Highly recommend,

We took this tour with Fiorella. She made the day my most memorable of the entire trip. While we had travelled the road to Hana previously in 2018, we asked Fi to take us to less touristy places where there would be fewer people. We wanted to see different things this time around. And boy, did she deliver! She showed us waterfalls where we were the only people there. We got to jump off rocks into the water and swim under waterfalls all by ourselves. It was truly amazing. She is super knowledgeable and told us all about the history of Hana and made it very interesting. She was very prepared with a cooler full of cold waters and towels for us to use as well. The van was very comfortable making the drive so much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend touring the road to Hana with Fi. She is awesome!

I settled on MPG from internet reviews and the competitive price in comparison to other group tours and private tours. Keenan picked us up (group of four) at our B&B in Kihei. The route has relatively recent restrictions that prohibit parking near waterfalls. Certainly, a dip in a waterfall pool would be a high point, but Keenan knew of a spot near safe and legal parking, and we were able to get in a swim. In all seriousness, we discussed how heavy tourism puts pressure on the roads and natural areas, but a local guide can help to minimize the footprint. You are highly unlikely to have as good a day without a guide. In the second week of September, tourism historically drops, and in 2021 there has been a bigger drop due to COVID. This resulted in a less congested drive, and we got in an extra stop or two this day. So, between Keenan's guidance and fewer tourists, we had an amazing day. The lava tube and black sand beach and banana bread and bamboo forests and ocean views are all very cool.

Brian and fiorella were AWESOME. I mean beyond amazing. Brian explained everything from ancient man to tactonic plates to captain James Cooke in the most exiting and alive way. Everyone loved it. My kids are age 6-age 18 and he had everyone listening with bated breath. He took us to some awesome places that were empty and when we saw some of the more popular touristy places that were so crowded and busy I really appreciated the quiet privacy we had. Was just an incredible trip. Highly recommend.

My Mom has trouble with mobility and I had read great reviews about how well the guides accommodated for guest in similar situations. Not only was the tour totally catered to what we were able to do and what we wanted to do, our guide, Brian was incredibly knowledgeable about the area we toured. He offered historical information and personal tales about his years living on the island of Maui. He knew the best places to stop, the best route to take, and went out of his way to make sure we got to do and see everything we wanted. We never felt rushed, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to tour Hana or any area of Maui and wants to just enjoy the ride and not stress about where to park, treacherous roads, and unfamiliar tourist. It is worth every penny. The brought all the products we might need to enjoy our day (water, bug spray etc) and the vehicle was comfortable and I felt really safe riding along the roads and enjoying all the views. We were also able to visit the south shore-which I highly recommend. I'll definitely be joining up with this company when I visit Maui again!

I am not someone who normally leaves a review but our tour with Fiorella today was outstanding and 100% deserves a five star plus rating! Absolutely worth the cost. The van was roomy (we are tall people), comfortable, air conditioned, and spotlessly clean with water and a cooler provided. There was something delicious for everyone at the food trucks where we stopped for an alfresco lunch dining at a picnic table with an umbrella.
Fi took us to hidden gems where we astonishingly were the only ones enjoying jumping and swimming in beautiful waterfalls and walking through bamboo forests while crowds were on the main road. I typically get car sick going through a mall parking lot. Fi’s driving skills were so excellent, I did not feel queasy even briefly. She was wonderful and engaging with our two boys (8 & 10) providing all of us with knowledge of history, culture, and entertaining stories of Maui. Her personality is kind, positive, and a true representative of the aloha spirit. We took our time at every spot including the black sand beach, lava tube tour, Hana Gold chocolate store, multiple waterfalls and adventurous hikes and felt cared for and catered to the entire way. We were actually quite late in returning to our pick up spot and Fi was nothing but gracious and upbeat the entire journey. When our son said he felt sick or had to go to the bathroom, she went out of her way to make sure his needs were cared for and attended to. We felt safe and in quite capable hands. Highly, highly recommend, just book this tour with Fi, you’ll be impressed. Thank you for giving our family the best day of our vacation!

Wow, this is a great review! Thanks so much for taking the time and thoughtfulness to write this for us.

Come see us again some day here in Maui. Until then, we wish you health and happiness. Aloha. Bryan.

Booking a tour for the drive to Hana is the way to go (as opposed to driving yourself). The road is full of constant hair pin turns, and it was nice letting someone else with experience drive it for us. We felt very safe with our guide Keenan, and we got to enjoy the sights and scenery as opposed to having to worry about driving/navigating. The highlight of the tour was the "secret" waterfall that Keenan took us to. We were seriously the ONLY people there! Keenan also gave us great recommendations for our other stops, including where to have lunch and take a break for delicious coconut ice cream! That is another benefit of booking a PRIVATE tour, it is completely customizable. Your guide tells you about the options, gives you pros and cons, and let's you choose what YOU want to do. I highly recommend this tour, tour company, and guide Keenan!

We had a wonderful experience, both booking with Brian and on our private tour with Keenan! Keenan took us to wonderful locations and entertained us all day. The Road to Hana is a dangerous path, and his driving definitely made us feel safe. It gave us piece of mind to know that we did not have to drive the narrow paths with sharp turns on our own. Our family loved the flexibility the tour offered and we appreciated how kind and honest Keenan was with us throughout the day. We even celebrated a family member’s birthday on our tour, and Keenan and Brian did a great job of coordinating a special surprise for them. They both made this day extraordinarily enjoyable for our entire family! We would all highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Maui.

We had an amazing tour on the road to hana. Our guide, Fi, was an amazing wealth of knowledge, a great driver (no one felt sick at all!), and an all around awesome person. She took us to cool spots and tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour. I think we would have been much less happy on a big tour that we couldn’t tailor ourselves.

Terrific private tour with FI! The owner, Bryan, answered all our questions and inquiries promptly. We were SO glad we got FI as our private tour guide! She was terrific!! She was knowledgeable about the history of Road to Hana, drove safely and knew the roads, and she accommodated all our stop requests, time permitting. She also participated in our activities, which was terrific! Going on a private tour made our experience more meaningful and relaxing to me since (1) someone else -Fi- was driving and she was knowledgeable and shared with us that knowledge of RTH;
(2) she drove safely and (3) made sure we were ready to view and/or had our cameras ready to photograph waterfalls and stuff at every turn coming up at those we weren't stopping for.
Would highly recommend them! Ask for Fi!
