My friend and I booked this private tour after hearing many times about how difficult and dangerous the drive is, and we both wanted to experience the trip by not having to worry about driving. I am so glad to find this tour!
Our tour is led my Damian. He’s a wonderful guide. He made sure we have all the info before we left for the 10-hour trip. Since we stayed at Kihei, he came picked us right on the dot and brought many necessary supplies (insect repellent, sunscreen, towel, water, etc) so we can have a fun day. The ride is super clean and he told us that everything is disinfected before a new group. We felt pretty safe (covid wise) getting on this trip.
Since it’s a private tour, Damian tailored towards our liking. My friend and I both wanted to swim in the waterfall pool, so he took us to a local spot that’s not the busy waimoku or twin fall. It’s fabulous because it felt like just us in this nature wonder, and the water fall was super refreshing and beautiful. We got to visit other cool and local spots including red sand beach, black sand beach, lava tube, and a secret cave pool. He made sure my friend and I stayed safe while allowing us to have all the fun. We would not have been able to experience all that without Damian’s knowledge.
His drive was super smooth and we had great time chatting along the way. I had many questions about Hawaiian culture, Maui natural habitat, locals, and species living on the island. He has studied Maui extensively on his own so I learned a lot from him.
So if you don’t want have just another sightseeing, but also a cultural experience, a expedition to see true beauty of Maui, and a little nudge to conquer your fear in the nature, the Road to Hana tour by Makena Maui Adventures would be the right choice.

Mahalo Nui Loa for this outstanding review Tedan. We really appreciate it, and work hard/fun to make such experiences so memorable for you. But can't take all the credit, as you both were such a joy to be around, making the day exceptional for me as well. I have nothing but gratitude for such connections. You're a gem, and hope to show you more, next time you visit.
