Demian was an amazing tour guide. He definitely gave us our money’s worth and catered the day to what we wanted to do. He also made amazing suggestions that took us to some sights that are well off the beaten path, where all the tourists are, like the petroglyphs. He made our “delayed” honeymoon a trip that we won’t forget. My wife’s only request was to see sea turtles without having tosnorkelkng for them, he knew right where to find them. I would suggest this tour for anyone who wants to see the island. Thank you Demian for the experience you gave to me and my wife. We appreciate it!

This is a good and inexpensive way to do the Haleakala sunset tour with audio narrative of things to see along the way to the mountain top. Good value for the price. A quick tip: this app burns through your phone battery fast so having a car phone cable is a must or else your phone battery will run out of juice pretty quick...

This trip is not for the faint of heart... the top 1/3 of the ride is very steep with hairpin turns and the day we did it was very foggy and cold for that part. But it was handled quite safely and professionally by the guides and after the initial stomach in mouth we settled in and enjoyed it immensely. You should be in good physical shape, familiar with riding a bike and have good stamina. Our guide would not shut up though... they talked way too much. It was hard to just enjoy the zen of the ride with constant chatter. We wanted to run away as fast as we could when we got to the bottom since we were sick of listening to them.

We had such a great time! Our guide Forrest was supper passionate about the area he grew up in. He had all these fun facts for us as he escorted us up the mountain and made extra sure we knew how to get back down safely and where to stop along the way for lunch or snacks!

We planned only one excursion for our entire trip and we definitely picked the right one!! From the moment Scotty Joe picked us up, to the moment he dropped us off we never stopped learning interesting things about the island. We also never stopped laughing!!! The sightseeing was indescribably breathtaking! Scott Joe's knowledge of the island was immeasurable. We felt completely and utterly safe with him behind the wheel and the road definitely got a little hairy at times!! My husband and I aren't big on excursions and we are usually a couple that just does their own thing. So when I say this tour was a good choice, believe me it truly was!!

There are a few options to choose from to explore the Road to Hana so you can experience the rainforest and its waterfalls, streams, fresh water ponds, bamboo forests and lush foliage, but there is only one company where the owners are actually a Native Hawaiian husband and wife team that were born in the Hawaiian islands. There's also only one company that offers service in luxury Cadillac Escalades & Platinum Custom Minibuses.

Our family history goes back 150 years and still lives in a little community out on the Road to Hana. While on tour we'll stop by our family's fruit stand that has been operating for 40 years and is the home of "the original banana bread," as well as have a fresh hot lunch at the famous Hana Ranch Restaurant.

Great tour! The hosts were incredibly knowledgeable and made it feel not only welcoming, but vey authentic. It was a great way to learn about the history and culture of Maui and get deeper than just the beauty of the island. It was a smart decision to take this tour versus driving it because there were soooooo many curves that it would have been nerve wrecking to drive ourselves; however we were in very good hands during the tour! The rainforest is beautiful and although it is a long day, a breakfast of banana bread, fresh pineapple and a hot drink was provided for breakfast, a decent lunch was included and they gave us a little gift bag upon arrival. We even made a stop at Doug’s (one of the guides) childhood home which just made it seem even more authentic. Overall if you’re looking to do the Hana road tour, I’d highly recommend Hawaiian Style Tours! They treat you like family!

We did the Road to Hana with Tom and it was such an amazing day. Tom was a fantastic guide, a great and super interesting guy to spend the day with, so knowledgeable about everything we asked him, and was he was totally focused on customizing our day to be exactly what we wanted. He went above and beyond and my husband and I were so impressed and so happy we did this! We knew at the end of the day that if my husband and I had tried to drive it ourselves, we could never have been so relaxed and happy all day, and my husband would not have been able to enjoy the spectacular scenery. If you go to Maui, you MUST do the road to Hana with Hoaloha Jeep Adventures, and definitely ask for Tom. It really will be one of the best vacation decisions you’ve ever made.
