After three canceled trips to Maui due to the pandemic, our extended family of 12 finally made it- ages 7 to 73. We were able to book a road to Hana Tours from Mahalo Tours on a recommendation from a concierge at the Marriott. We only wanted a Hawaiian owned company with Hawaiian tour guides and their website highlighted their spirit of aloha. Our guide Charlie was amazing. I knew we’d made the right choice when we saw another company’s busses at a Safeway, picking up lunch. We had a terrific hot lunch along the way, along with freshly baked muffins, Maui gold pineapple, Kula strawberries, grapes, fruit drinks, chips, cookies and bottles of cold water. We also stopped for 3 hot loaves of banana bread- all included in the tour cost. We made many, many stops, getting out of the van for photos, rather than our tour with another company several years ago- that driver would stop to let us take pictures through the windows. We liked that one but this experience made us realize that our comfort, safety and fun was their #1 priority. Charlie stopped many times to warn tourists about safety hazards along the way- things you can’t possibly know if you attempt to drive yourself, even though private property and hazard warnings are posted. Best experience ever!
