We did the ultimate tour and had a memorable time Gail's enthusiasm for Maui and it's rich history, nature and culture is evident. We appreciated all the opportunities to get out of the van and experience the view, beaches or waterfalls up close and personally Since this is the foodie tour the breakfast and lunch spots were terrific Mango Cafe in Paia and Trevasa in Hana.
Tour guide was dull, food was disappointing compared to other tours we did. Meant to have lunch at a tropical garden nursery but the only place we went to was a sales pitch to send flowers from a tiny eco nursery where there was no where to eat - ended up having lunch at the beach in Hana with other tour groups. Overall if you're ok with driving do this one yourself don't rely on a tour.
This is the only way to travel the Road to Hana. Vehicle was comfortable and driver was excellent at negotiating the turns and bridges of the trip so we could sit back and enjoy the sites. He was very knowledgeable about the area and Maui in general, Made stops at waterfalls, black sand beach, little hippie town of Paia, giant sea turtle beach and other points of interest. Would have preferred to have left earlier so we could have spent more time at the beaches and waterfalls. But overall a very enjoyable day.
