The Road to Hana tour with Valley Isle Excursions was absolutely incredible! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the long drive feel effortless and fun. Every stop revealed something amazing—lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, black sand beaches, and charming little towns. The scenery along the way is just breathtaking, and having an expert guide meant we didn’t miss a single hidden gem. The pace was perfect—relaxing but packed with unforgettable sights. I can’t recommend this to

This tour was a highlight of my trip. The tour guides were informative, knowledgable, and professional. I also appreciated the communication ahead of the tour - not too many emails and the phone call ahead of the pick up to let me know they were almost to my pick up location. This was really the best way to see the sunrise at Haleakala since they manage the driving (with their expert driving, I did not get car sick!) and get the small tour group to the viewing area ahead of most other groups fo

What an incredible experience on our Road to Hana tour with Malia as our trusted guide. The tour was amazing! More beautiful and educational than we could have imagined. Malia had us learning the Hawaiian language, many fun facts about the state, folklore about the road to Hana and much more. Valley Isle Excursions took care of our every need from the time we booked the trip until they dropped us off at the end of the tour at our condo. We were treated like 'ohana (family). We would highly

Trip was during Kona storm. Felt for safety concerns should have been canceled due to rain and wind. No complaints with driver. He was very professional and informative

We mostly loved this tour. Seeing the sunrise over the crater was a once in a lifetime experience. Unforgettable! The bus picked us up on time at the hotel although there was a bit of miscommunication regarding where to meet at the hotel. The tour guides were so friendly and super knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the volcano and we appreciated the warm ponchos that were provided! I was also pleased that ginger chews were handed out for motion sickness since the drive up the volcano had s

We really enjoyed our day trip despite the heavy rain for the first part of the day. Indeed, as Paula, our driver/guide, pointed out, the rain meant that the waterfalls were even more spectacular. Our guide was pretty spectacular too; she gave a really good explanation of what we saw with some very interesting background history and colour, as well as expertly navigating the long and winding road than led …. to George Harrison’s old house on Maui ! (Note: it wasn’t part of the tour but Paula tol

Had an exceptional tour with this group. Tour size was small enough (9) that good attention was provided to each visitor and all questions were answered when asked. Tour guide (Malia) was just recently hired but is a local who knows the route and is very familiar with all the stops and Hawaiian lore that is associated with them. Stops were made with adequate time to take pictures, purchase souvenirs, and explore the location. I highly recommend this company if you want to spend a day exploring

Had a wonderful trip with Malia, who is a Hana resident and well-versed in the trees and plants of the rainforest as well as all the fabulous attractions on the Road to Hana. Lots of fun and a beautiful trip!

Words can’t describe how wonderful Paula was on the Road to Hana Tour this week. Although pick up at our hotel was 6:15 a.m., I wasn’t ready to end our time with Paula at drop off (dark thirty). She shared so many details/stories while driving the 106 curves safely, stopping for our breaks, serving our yummy lunch, AND respecting local drivers. Highly recommend this company for your touring interests…they know the roads!
