I booked this Reverse Road to Hana tour to celebrate my birthday. Our guide, Nani, made it my best birthday ever! When she picked us up at our hotel, the jeep was decorated with a "Happy Birthday" banner. She made a Birthday Queen sash, placed a tiara on my head, and gave me a ginger flower from her garden. Her knowledge of the land and people were first rate! She not only took care of us but took care of others we encountered on the trip-- told a family with young children which fresh water pool to swim in, and warned drivers of a landslide. She took us to all the places we wanted to go to and then some! She introduced us to many locals who have hearts of gold. The sites we saw were a feast for the senses. The most memorable part of the tour was listening to the sound of lava rocks being tumbled by the ocean waves on the black sand beach in Nu'u District. I had never heard that sound before and I'll never forget it. We are so glad we booked this tour. It made the journey so enjoyable. Mahalo nui loa, Nani, for an epic tour!

We started our day with the fabulous Nani as our guide. She made the tour so personal and exciting! We could not have asked for a better person to spend this tour with! Go to Grandmaā€™s for breakfast if she asks. The muffins are delicious. Nani showed us such beautiful sights and stunning landscapes. She went off-road to get us to the perfect photo spots. About 4 hours into our tour we found out there was a utility pole down on the road. We were told that the wait to remove the poll would take over 5 hours. We would not be able to drive the actual road to Hana! We decided to turn around and go back to our hotel. Nani contacted the Hoaloha office and they offered us 3 choices to make our Hana experience complete. We chose to do the regular road to Hana tour the next day. The offer was at no additional cost to us. How amazing. We were so fortunate to have Mike as our guide. His knowledge of the road and Hawaiā€™in cultural history was thrilling. We were so lucky to have met them both. Hoaloha is a great company. Do not go with anyone else. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

This excursion was a terrific experience! The drive through west Maui enroute to Hana was beautiful and less congested than the stretch between Hana and Paia which I had experienced several times in the past and I really appreciated covering the new ground. Our guide, Ian, was very personable and accommodating and it was a pleasure spending the day with him. Ian knew of various less visited spots including a cave and bamboo forest and numerous great overlooks. It's a long day - 12 hours - but totally stress-free with someone else doing the driving. It's a challenging drive and one that's not supposed to be undertaken in a rental car although some do anyway. On this trip you can choose your stops and there's flexibility to spend additional time in a location that's of particular interest because it's a private tour. Again, a great experience! Just do it! And ask for Ian when you do.
