Geology Enthusiast If you have any interest in geology, this is a fantastic tour. We learned about Haleakalā, volcanic rift zones, cinder cones, lava flows and how the Hawaiian Island chain was formed. Seeing the geology in front of you while hearing the explanation made it much easier to understand. The South Maui lava fields were incredible.

Our whole family really enjoyed this tour. There was something for everyone—beautiful beaches, black sand, lava fields, ocean views and Hawaiian history. The guide kept the kids interested while still giving the adults plenty of interesting information. The open-air vehicle was also a fun way to experience the coastline
This was one of our favorite experiences on Maui. We had no idea how different the South Maui coastline was from the resort areas. The black sand beach and lava fields were spectacular, and learning about Haleakalā and how the Hawaiian Islands were formed made everything we were seeing much more meaningful.
Absolutely loved this tour! The scenery along South Maui was incredible, especially seeing the contrast between Maluaka Beach and the black sand at Oneuli. Our guide did a great job explaining how the volcano created Maui and how the landscape continues to change. The lava fields were amazing to see up close. Highly recommend this tour!
The best thing we have done on the island so far. Absolutely amazing experience. I can't even out into words how amazing it was. Highly recommend
The views and Joe were 10/10! Amazing tour and very friendly and knowledgeable!! Worth every dime, would've paid more! Enjoyed every second, full of smiles!
The views were beyond epic and the information about the island was an extra special bonus. The tour was simply delightful.
Joe was very professional, all the views were amazing, today was my last day in the island , and I'm planning to come back soon to visit all the places that we visit with him, 100% recommend
The tour was amazing! We got to see some pretty cool spots that we would not have seen had we not done the tour. We learned so much about the culture as well as the history of the people and places. Joe was very knowledgeable and taught us so much!
I had a great time on this open air tour. The host was awesome. I got to learn a bit about Maui’s history and see some beautiful sites at the same time
Rented a car but figured I’d do this tour just so I could sit back and relax and take in all the sights with a nice refreshing beverage in my hand and not worrying about driving. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Maui!
I’ve been to Maui a dozen times over the past 30 years and today I saw things I’ve never seen before. I was hoping for a bit more info on the Lahina fires, but I understand the gravity. The open air shuttle is amazing. It would be worth the price just to drive randomly around the island. Epic experience.
The views were incredible alongside interesting knowledge about the island. Would recommend polarized sunglasses. They make the experience just that much more amazing!!!
I really enjoyed sitting back, taking in the beautiful views, and listening to the music. The commentary was just right—informative without being overwhelming. Unlike other tours, our guide provided meaningful insights while still giving us space to simply enjoy the ride. It was perfect!
This was the most enjoyable thing I did on my trip to Maui. Even though I rented a car, it was nice to do some sightseeing without having to focus on driving. To sit back, relax and have a drink while taking in all the sights was something I'll never forget.
