The waterfalls and views were gorgeous, the large number of sea turtles just chillin on the sunny beach were amazing and the black sandy beach was stunning. The drive was made memorable by Sean and Summer’s knowledge of Hawaiian culture and the road to Hanna in particular. I road up with Sean and back with Summer to let another couple sit together. The stop for lunch at Half way to Hana a quaint little food stand was delicious. I had BBQ pork and a pineapple smoothie both filling and refreshing and for dessert the banana bread - yummy. Well worth the cost. 7 1/2 hours. Thanks Sean and Summer!

Black sand, crashing surf, so many waterfalls, beautiful beaches, a beautiful arboretum and.....sea turtles !!!

Starfish_1, Apr 2024

We are so glad we chose this tour! Our driver and tour guide, Shaun, did such an excellent job. He was punctual, friendly, informative and so interesting. The road to Hana is best enjoyed as a passenger in a vehicle because the driver needs their full attention to the twisting road. Shaun is a very competent driver who is obviously very familiar with the road. He provided a very comfortable vehicle and plenty of stops for sightseeing. We enjoyed everything! The black sand beach, the countless waterfalls, the beautiful beaches, the fascinating arboretum and the sea turtles at Hookipa Beach on the way back. We are grateful to Shaun for his expertise as a driver and tour guide and we have no hesitation in enthusiastically recommending this fabulous tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello, thank you very much for the great review. I'm so happy that I was able to meet all of your expectations and to give you the best of the island can offer. Hope to see you soon one day on the island, or another one. Mahalos

Great Road to Hana tour!

Our guide Shawn was awesome! Super informative, very nice, knew the road extremely well and did a great job showing us all the sights. Would highly recommend!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Awesome trip

Anonymous, Apr 2024

Sean was awesome. I would recommend this trip. We went to several places and Sean was full of information.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi, thanks for the great review! It's a pleasure to show you the best of Maui in the shortest amount of time. The turtles the waterfalls the stop for lunch, the Arboretum, seems to do it. Hope to see you again, Mahalos

A good way to see Hana

Shanna_H, Mar 2024

The guide was a very scary driver going way too fast to the point many of us were sick to our stomachs. However, the sights and experiences were phenomenal! I recommend this tour as an ideal way to see the road to Hana. Just the right length of time and beautiful scenery.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi, sorry to hear the driver was too fast for your party. We only hire drivers with a perfect drivers record, and we check 10 years back. Most of the road is about 22 to 26 mph. We make sure to ask any guests if it's over their limit. After 40 years of driving the Hana Road, it is easier to drive for us since we know every foot of it. Any guest that requests slower is (Top on the list) for our tours in the future. Mahalos for this great input, hope the rest of your visit on Maui goes great! Mahalos

Excellent shore excursion alternative

Sabrina_C, Mar 2024

Everything went smoothly. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The duration was just right. This is an excellent alternative to the shore excursions the cruise ships offer...and bonus, smaller group size.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the great review. Both guides Sean and Summer work hard to deliver the ultimate tour for all who come to visit Maui thanks for being part of that. Hope you visit one day again. Mahalos

Amazing experience

Scott_B, Mar 2024

Summer was an amazing tour guide and driver. She was very attentive and thoughtful. Her help made the already memorable trip that much more amazing. 10/10 highly recommend.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Mahalos for the great review. Summer works hard on making sure your visit to Maui is it's best on the Halfway to Hana tour. We appreciate your happiness. Mahalos

Halfway to Hana Tour

Theresa_W, Mar 2024

This is a wonderful tour and Summer was a great guide. She pointed out all the sites that we were unable to stop at and she gave us plenty of time to see the ones we did stop at. The food and desserts were delicious at the Halfway to Hana stop. Well worth the trip and we highly recommend it. Thank you Summer for a wonderful adventure.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Mahalos for the great review of Summer, our highly recommended tour guide. It's a pleasure to see the tour is a hit. Mahalos, and hope to see you one day again on Maui.

Great trip

Katherine_Z, Mar 2024

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi, mahalos for the great review. It's always a pleasure to see a Happy client. Hope to see you on holiday again. Aloha

Fact checking required

Dawn_A, Jan 2024

Sean took us on the halfway to Hana tour. The waterfalls and turtles were amazing. However , Sean should do alittle fact checking . He also discussed things that were controversial and presented them as facts.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi, hope all is going good on your next days out on your Vacation. I'll check anything you want on fact checks, it may be for Hawaiian facts, or general? Please text back and I'll correct anything that was "controversial" . We want to make your tour as easy and comfortable as possible. Sorry for any miscommunication. Mahalos for the review, as it's used to make the next tour an excellent day. Aloha

Half way to Hana more than enough

Debbie_L, Jan 2024

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi, It's a pleasure to bring you to what we call Paradise on this island. The subtropical rainforest and all plants and flowers and trees. The ocean crashing and the black sand beach and turtles and waterfalls making a great escape. Hope to see you again one day and thank you for choosing the halfway to Hana tour. Mahalos

Great excursion

Daniel_B, Dec 2023

Halfway to Hana is a great excursion and a great way to see parts of the island without spending all day in the car. Sean was a great tour guide and He navigated the narrow roads like a pro while providing valuable information about the history of the area. We were able to see black sand beaches, sea turtles and waterfalls.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi, it's so nice to see a great review. I hope to see you again one day to view more of the Paradise you came to visit. We both learn a lot on our tours, it's an amazing value. See you again , hopefully soon. Mahalos

Fun

Dean_N, Nov 2023

what a road, glad we had a driver. Beautiful sites and stops along the way. Maui was spectacular and very lush.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi, thank you for the great review, all that visit find out why we call this Paradise. Hope you come back one day to see it again. Mahalos

A good day on the road to Hana

erycka_s, Nov 2023

We booked this private tour on a cruise. Had Summer as our guide and she was great! We were a party of 4 , 2 seniors and one of them uses a walker. She was very polite, accommodating, and kind. Let us move at our own pace and she is a skilled driver on the road to Hana. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is the vehicles used for this tour are very old and have visible wear and tear. Ours was missing parts and the door trim kept falling off. Seats are a bit uncomfortable as to be expected with the age of the car. We had a Lincoln town car but we saw her partner who had a Lincoln Navigator both are old. For the price, it would be nice to have newer vehicles. I would recommend this tour but set your expectations accordingly on the transportation.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi, Thank you for the great review. The Lincoln Towncar is now a personal car, replaced with another Lincoln Navigator. Now more room, and comfort for up to 7. Hope you come back to Maui for another chance to see Paradise. Mahalos

Beautiful waterfalls,...

ARTHUR_H, Nov 2023

Beautiful waterfalls, beaches not swimmable but picturesque including a few surfers. Turtles were special. Half day is probably enough to get a good feel of the area.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi, and thank you for a great review, I hope you come back to Maui and have a chance to see more Paradise. We are happy you had a great time, Mahalos

Karnae Arboretum is very...

Pen_H, Nov 2023

Karnae Arboretum is very unique and impressive place with some flowers and trees that we don’t see them anyplace in the world.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hello again, it's a pleasure to bring you to the Keanae Arboretum on the Road to Hana with it's Painted gum trees and flowers , including all its exotic trees from all over the Pacific planted many years ago for your viewing. Hope to see you again and the collective of plants, trees and flowers await you. Mahalos

Another adventure with Jean

Lorraine_M, Nov 2023

The scenery is spectacular. Our driver and guide Summer is lovely, kind, and knowledgeable and a very skilled driver. Felt comfortable and safe during the whole trip. The car is not new and no room for more than four people. Don’t expect luxury transportation but more than adequate. Trip provided a nice variety of scenery, little walks to stretch your legs and no stress of driving on narrow very curves roads. Summer made the trip as she cares about people and of providing them with a safe and memorable day. I wholly recommend this trip

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi, thank you for the great review. It's our pleasure to bring you to the place we call Paradise, the halfway to Hana tour. Our driver's summer works hard I'm making sure that you have the best time while visiting Maui. In Our Lincoln Town car (L) does fit only four persons and a middle seat in the backseat. Will work to remedy any seating capacity in the future by including our Lincoln navigators in most of our tours. I hope you visit Maui one day and spend a week so that you can see the rest of Maui. Hope to see you soon one day. Mahalos

Half way to Hana

Audrey_V, Oct 2023

Sean the owner made this tour worthwhile. The ride in the Lincoln was very Comfortable. The sites were outstanding. I highly recommend this company.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hi, it's a pleasure to see such a great review! Visitors all over the world can see the reason to come to Maui and choosing a great tour and company to show them the "Paradise" they were hoping for. Mahalos for taking the time to post this here. I hope you visit again and enjoy all the things and places we talked about, and tripple the happiness. Mahalos

Awesome excursion! Highlight of our trip!

Carol_F, Oct 2023

We walked to Long Drugs which was down the marked walkway from the ship. Sean was right on the corner with a sign before the required meeting time. He was friendly and personable and told us where to wait. The trip itself was in a Lincoln Navigator. Extremely comfortable. Sean was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and narrated the trip in detail and knew a lot of history. The stops along the way were perfect and very well planned. He was flexible and was all about making the experience the best for his passengers. We stopped for lunch at the Halfway Point to Hana which was perfect. Between the black sand beach, the waterfall, Jurassic Park, the Arboretum and the turtles, these were the highlights of the trip. He provided water & juices and truly made us feel like family. We traveled simultaneously with the other Coastline Tour Guide, Summer and benefitted from both of their knowledge on all the stops. I highly recommend this trip. It was very personalized. You will not be disappointed!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hello and thank you for the great review and your honest take on the tour. Thank you for pointing out all the good points and especially how summer our second driver helped you while they stopped simultaneously at the locations. It's hard to predict when the other vehicle stops but we got lucky this time. I hope you come to Maui one day and see more as you found that just one or two days is not enough. All the things we talked about, and all the things I learned are very important in life. Mahalos for being part of this halfway to Hana Tour and for choosing Coastline tours. See you one day.
