      Tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning about all the local people and history. We were definitely treated like family. The sites were out of this world. Highly recommend.

      Great time!
      Noah_S, Mar 2024
      Great time. Shannon was an excellent guide. Very knowledge, as well as fun to talk with and entertaining. Small group so things were flexible and she was totally willing to go with the flow and adjust as needed. Gave us all ideas on how to take the best photos. Drinks and simple snacks provided were appreciated.
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Thank you for the kind words I’m just glad that somebody else got to spend some time with the amazing woman that I call my wife. I hope that you had a great time at your friends wedding and May fortune and fame find you wherever your path may lead.
      Definitely worth it -- even on an overcast day
      Lisa_M, Mar 2024
      We were drawn to this tour because it offered a more private opportunity to explore Haleakala as opposed to doing so with a bus full of other people. Shannon, our guide, was very personable and a delight to spend time with. Her knowledge of the area was extensive, and we came away learning so much about area. Although it was an overcast evening, it was still worth the drive up to the top to experience the expansive view from 10,000 feet. The higher up you go, the cooler and windier it gets. While we planned for this, our guide had warm jackets if additional layers were needed. At the end of the tour, the drop-off directly at the Pride of America pier was greatly appreciated.
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      So glad you were able to spend some time with Shannon. She doesn’t do tours often so she’s a little more stoked than the average tour guide. I always tell people when you do a tour on the mountain ask your tour guide if they supply clothing. I really appreciate the kind words and may you be blessed with good fortune. A hui ho
      Not worth the money
      Kelly_E, Mar 2024
      I am loathe to post a negative review but I honestly feel that this tour was NOT worth the money. We did not have Erik as our guide so perhaps that would have made a difference. Shannon was very nice and personable. However, we were cramped into the third row of a minivan (and my husband is a big man), there was not a lot of information provided and we received very few photos (multiple copies of us in 3 locations all at the one stop on Haleakala). The snacks provided were bags of potato chips, nothing special. I texted a few times asking for more photos and did receive a few more of the view from where we stopped but I also asked for the video that was supposed to be included and I got a video from someone else's tour with photos of my husband and I spliced in. There were only 4 people on our tour and the video shows other people who were not with us. Overall, very disappointing considering the cost. We definitely could have done this on our own and saved the money.
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      I’m sorry that you did not have a positive experience. I was doing a full Hana day and had my wife help me out. I’m not quite sure what more you wanted for photos. I sent you 40 pictures and a video and I’ve never had a complaint about my photos before. In the future if you let the company now the size of someone who may need a certain seat. Most companies including myself will make sure they are in the right spot. Hope you life is filled with aloha and many more sunsets.🌅
      Sunset tour
      Myholistichaven, Mar 2024
      Our tour with Marko was great! He was very friendly and full of information about the island and great tips on places to visit/things to do. It was pretty chilly at the top and he came well prepared with warm gear and chairs to make us comfortable. He took lots of pictures for us and also brought snacks and drinks and even some homemade candied pecans which were delicious. And the view from the top was nothing short of amazing!
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Marko is the OG Ambassador of Aloha. You really lucked out to have him all to yourself A hui ho

      Gorgeous Sunset
      stephanie_b, Dec 2023
      Our guide Erik was an excellent driver on the long and windy road to the top of Haleakala. He also provided snacks as well as warm jackets. It is chilly on top but the views of the crater and the gorgeous sunset were worth it! Erik took lots of photos and videos which he airdropped to everyone in our small group. It was a beautiful evening
      Response from Host, Jan 2024
      It’s always nice getting on top of the island. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I hope the rest of your cruise was a blast. Mahalo
      Erik was an awesome guide!
      Audrie_B, Dec 2023
      My husband and I loved this tour! Erik was an awesome tour guide. He taught us about the land and history of the volcano and area surrounding it. I love the small tours way better than large ones. So much more personal and just overall a better experience. 10/10 would recommend! Book with Erik you won’t regret it!
      Response from Host, Dec 2023
      Mahalo nui loa For taking the time to write a review. I was just thinking that’s one of the better selfies of 2023 . May you find aloha in all that you do
      Beautiful sun set
      William_C, Dec 2023
      This was a fun trip and mother nature cooperated for us to so a great sun set. I can tell you it was a hour long turning and twisting road that was like riding an old wooden Rollercoaster.
      Response from Host, Dec 2023
      It was great having you on tour and may your life be filled with Aloha. A hui ho
      Great tour!
      Ruth_L, Dec 2023
      Loved our sunset tour. Erik provided us with lots of info regarding.the mountain. He even provided us with pictures and a video.. Amazing trip!
      Response from Host, Dec 2023
      Thank,you for the kind words and enjoying the sunset with me. I like the photo of the two of you looking at each other. I hope the Indy 500 this year is a good one.
      Sunset in Hawaii on a volcano…need I say more?
      Allison_C, Nov 2023
      Absolutely the best trip ever. Erik was a phenomenal guide and added personal touches of pictures and video taken of our group of 5. Erik was knowledgable and tailored our trip specifically to our group. He had special spots to view the sunset and see the volcano that we could not have known about on our own. Well worth every penny and we would do it again in a heartbeat. We will definitely tell others about this extraordinary trip. The weather couldn’t have been any better for this trip. So peaceful and quiet at the top.
      Response from Host, Nov 2023
      Wow thank you for the great review and putting me up on the NCL FB page. When you get a clear sunset with no wind it is a truly spectacular experience. I hope the rest of your cruise is filled with Aloha.
      Breathtaking views
      Karen_T, Oct 2023
      Breathtaking views and a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. Erik was great and provided us with jackets and snacks, he also took some great pictures and video. I recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hawaii.
      Response from Host, Oct 2023
      I’m glad you had a great time and got to experience some true Aloha. Muchos Mahalos for taking the time to write a review
      Pictures don’t do the mountain justice
      Daren_H, Oct 2023
      This was a great tour. Excellent opportunity to sightsee the beauty of the mountain with someone who is well versed about the island. We have a wonderful time and would do again. Highly recommended!
      Response from Host, Oct 2023
      Wow thank you for taking the time to write a review. I know you have a lot on your hands with staying in Hana. I didn’t even have to send a review request. It really does help small business owners as I know you are yourself. May you find Aloha wherever you may go
      Amazing sunset above the clouds!
      Karol_T, Oct 2023
      Erik was great! He made the tour so comfortable and fun! Would 100% recommend to is tour with him! The tour was amazing and he has kept us entertained with all the tidbits and trivia of local life.
      Response from Host, Oct 2023
      Mahalo Nui Loa for the kind words. Now more than ever Maui needs people to come here. This is the best time of year to go up top. It’s great the cruise ship has kept people coming in May your life be filled with Aloha.
      Wonderful 45th Anniversary Experience.

      Dramatic Sunset Above the Clouds
      John_R, Aug 2023
      Erick was the tour guide and was very knowledgeable of the area. He showed us this others would not. We parked in an area that was not crowded. He showed us the highlights of the crater and took photos of us. We left just at sunset. I was a little disappointed with this. However, my disappoint soon changed. We got a different perspective of the sunset. You have to trust your guide!! Thanks for the experience we had!!
      Response from Host, Aug 2023
      Having people take the time to write a review is what every tour guide hopes for you. Maui in the coming year is going to need the support of the world and I hope everyone realizes that. I thank you and Maui thanks you. A hui ho
      Beautiful sunset
      Tom_S, Jul 2023

      Response from Host, Jul 2023
      Thank you so much for the kind words. So glad you took the time to experience the islands Aloha. Hope you get to see the volcano 🌋 on the big 🏝. A hui Ho
      Great Trip for our 50th Wedding Anniversary !! Highly recommend Erik as Tour Guide !!
      Sheila_B, Jun 2023
      Erik was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about Maui history. Nice, clean vehicle, plus beverages & snacks. We thought he was kidding about how cold it does get up on the top, but he was so right, and we're really glad he brought warm jackets for us to use. Highly recommend this experience ...
      Response from Host, Jul 2023
      Aloha thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. You guys got some great pics and it sounds like the rest of your adventure will be great. Glad your getting to see the lava on the big island
      Beautiful sunset
      Dee_I, Jun 2023
      A must see for everyone! You go above the clouds for the most amazing sight!! Our guide was amazing and even had coats for us to wear!!!
      Response from Host, Jun 2023
      Thank you for your kind words. I honestly feel that seeing Haleakala is better than the RTH but it is 30degrees cooler so you need to be prepared. A hui Ho
      The drive could have been better. Too many people in a small vehicle.
      Jan_K, May 2023
      Seeing the crater. The sunset was spectacular. Interesting how the clouds moved away so the crater was visible.
      Response from Host, May 2023
      I’m sorry you were not completely happy. I know that being a single with all couples can be uncomfortable.. This is a luxury SUV with lots of space. I could tell the high altitude made you uncomfortable and I apologize for that. May Your life be filled with Aloha A hui Ho
