My wife and I had an amazing tour led by Keone. He was so flexible with our requests, which included wanting to do the long 2-3 hour Pipiwai Trail. He was very knowledgeable about everything along the Road to Hana, including flora, waterfalls, and island history. He also knew about and recommended less-frequented stops like a bamboo forest along the way. My wife and I made some incredible memories between the various falls, hikes (we strongly recommend the Pipiwai Trail!!), black sand beach, food at Hana Farms, and more. We felt bad that we were running over with a tour time, but Keone was flexible and even recommended stopping to see some sea turtles when we were almost back to our tour stop. That was another great stop seeing all of the resting sea turtles and all of the surfers out on the North Shore. Thank you, Keone, and Makana Maui Adventures!

This was an amazing trip. Our guide Zak was extremely fun, courteous, and knowledgeable. He took us up some amazing trails to see some of the less popular falls and views. Zak had a wealth of knowledge about the island and was lots of fun. We even helped a too eager tourist get his car out of the beach with a few pushes. It was a great experience and if you can afford it is a great way to see the waterfalls and not have to worry about where they are and how to get there. A great way to see the road to Hana and not have to worry about the drive up what could be a hair raising - white knuckle drive.

My husband and I were on a trip to Maui for our 20 year Anniversary and had the opportunity to book a private tour with Makana Maui Adventures and our incredible guide, Zak, for the full road to Hana loop. I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience filled with excitement and beautiful sights. Zak was an absolute gem throughout the entire journey. His infectious energy and adventurous spirit made the tour an absolute blast. He was not only knowledgeable about the area but also knew all the best spots to stop for amazing food and thrilling adventures. As someone who prefers a bit of comfort, I must admit that some of the activities were initially out of my comfort zone. However, with Zak's expert guidance and encouragement, I found myself hiking to breathtaking waterfalls and even taking the plunge into the refreshing pools below. It was an exhilarating experience that pushed me beyond my limits in the most enjoyable way possible. One of the highlights of the tour was exploring the black sand beaches and the lush rainforest. Zak's passion for the island's natural beauty was evident as he shared fascinating stories and pointed out hidden gems along the way. It was truly a remarkable journey through Maui's enchanting landscapes. I do have to mention that the cliffside drive around Haleakala did cause some car sickness for me, as I'm not accustomed to such mountainous terrain being from Florida. However, despite feeling a bit queasy, Zak handled the situation with utmost professionalism and made the best of the day. His attentiveness and care for our well-being were truly commendable. Overall, I highly recommend booking a tour with Makana Maui Adventures, particularly with the adventurous guide Zak. From the exhilarating adventures to the breathtaking scenery, every moment was filled with excitement and joy. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or someone looking to step out of their comfort zone, this tour is perfect for creating unforgettable memories on the beautiful island of Maui. We also apprecaited that Zak gave us advice on other areas to stop at on other days of our trip. Thank you, Makana Maui Adventures and Zak, for an incredible experience that I will cherish for a lifetime!

Zak was GREAT! Since we knew how long of a day this would be, we chose to do private tour so that we could go at our pace and spend the time on the things we wanted to (and skip the ones we knew we wouldn't enjoy as much). The FULL loop of the Road to Hana was just AMAZING... so much to see... and Zak knew exactly the perfect spots to stop at and things to point out. I believe he quickly realized that we were not much into souvenir shopping and he didn't even try taking us to any tourist traps. He did mention as we went along, the opportunities of places to stop and we felt comfortable saying yay or nay! We also stopped at a pretty cool local spot for lunch.... Hawaiian BBQ and what a view! Another favorite stop was an ice cream truck.... HOMEMADE coconut ice cream was THE best one I've ever tried in my lifetime. If it's your first time on Maui, and you can afford it, don't hesitate to book a private tour of the Road to Hana. And definitely do the full loop!!! So much more to see and the difference is like night and day between the two different sides of the island. We got to see the Haleakala from so many different angles... always impressive. We saw black sand beaches and red sand beaches. We also saw tons of waterfalls and canyons, a bamboo forest (so magical).... One super cool thing we did was to go inside a lava tube that was under a banyan tree... and on the other side a waterfall!!! I can't remember everything we saw. All I can say is JUST DO IT! It's an amazing experience. We felt safe at all times. And it was definitely worth the money.

Our guide Demian was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture, history, horticulture, geology and an overall great conversationalist. The tour was exactly what we wanted in terms of seeing a part of Maui that we would not have been able to navigate on our own. He tailors his hikes to whatever level of activity and adventure the client wants. Food stops along the way are plentiful and delicious. Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity when visiting Maui. Highly recommend.

I am so glad we went with Terence rather than trying to drive on our own. He was an excellent guide, great driver, and took us to great spots that both my dad and I could safely enjoy. Mahalo!

WOW, what a day!! How blessed we were to get Zac as our private tour guide for the Road to Hana. I had numerous friends warn me of how awful the motion was, that they stopped and turned around part way through, and that it was redundant after a long day. With Zac, none of that was true. I gave Zac a list of everything we hoped to see and he did a phenomenal job of getting us to each place as weather permitted. His suggestion to see some of the sights on the way out and the rest on the way back as weather and traffic allowed made the trip so much more enjoyable. And then there is his knowledge. While he has only lived in Hawaii for 12 years, he knew so much more than our Oahu guide who was born and raised in Hawaii. Zac answered every question we had thoroughly. He is part of a book club that reads about Hawaiian history so he knows SO MUCH!! The day was perfectly planned - the rain added to the experience as the waterfalls could not have been more picturesque. Zac - Mahalo nui loa! You made our Hana and Hawaiian trip one to be remembered.

We had a wonderful day. Our tour guide was amazing!! Gave excellent information and history of the area.

I took my dad to Maui as a gift for his retirement and because it was very much needed after the year he has had. Not to get too heavy here but we took this tour on the year anniversary of my mom passing away, and I'm really glad that we did. Zack was our guide and there's no way I can tell you how special he made this day for us. My dad has stories for days about all the places Zack took us to and the wealth of information he shared about literally everything we encountered on our ten hour trip - the man knows all the things, I challenge you to try and stump him. He kept the day moving along and always knew what we should be heading to next, and knows how to read the room. I'm so happy that I booked the private tour for us - We really got to see so much that way and had great conversation with Zack the whole time. Although my dad was very quiet that day, he has talked non stop to his friends about everything we saw. And after being a chicken for about 20 minutes, I jumped off a waterfall and was jacked the rest of the day. My dad has some mobility issues that have creeped up recently, but Zack tailored our activities so he could enjoy the fun and still be safe. My dad and I both agree that this was the best day of our trip - and I'll carry this day with me forever. Thank you Zack - you weren't aware but you made a very difficult day for us so much brighter.

We had a fantastic private tour with Terence- He had loads of suggested stops and listened to our preferences in order to accommodate our wishes. We never felt rushed and we found all kinds of off the beaten path (but close to the road) things to see and do. This experience was 100% better than the last time I did the Road to Hana without an expert guide. We also took some hikes that, while not dangerous, would have looked to uncertain to go on without Terence's expert guidance - he would literally show us where to step and grab to make things as safe as possible. He also had great food suggestions along the way! Terence is also a super nice guy and easy to spend the entire day with. I look forward to connecting with them again when I am back in town. Five stars all around!
