I highly, highly recommend springing for a driver to tour Hana. I wanted my husband to be able to enjoy the sights and scenes and not turning into a ball of stress from driving. We had Andrea as our driver and she went above and beyond! She took us to places that you wouldn't know were there if you weren't a local. She picked fruit off the trees for us to try (shout-out to the strawberry guava), took us to a secluded black sand beach, and walked us down a path to a painted Eucalyptus tree, to name a few. She gave us Hawaiian trivia all along the drive and took our pictures at all the sites. My husband and I agreed that if we had one day on Maui, this is what we would do again. If you are on the edge of booking this trip, please do it!!

Amazing experience! From first getting in the jeep till being dropped off at port, Andrea took care of us and made it the most enjoyable time! The tour is trailered to you and spending as much time at each spot as you’d like. Andrea was so knowledgeable about the island, culture and all the little stops along Hana! We had the best time! You have to book this tour - everyone is so friendly, spectacular views of Maui and truly unforgettable day.
We did two tours with Vicente, and it were the best tour experiences we ever had. Vicente shared history, background information and fun facts during the tour with us. He showed us all kinds of flowers and plants while passing by on the road to Hana. He knows where are delicious lunch and dinner places. He is super professional, thoughtful in every way and a fantastic, versed driver. We felt welcomed, safe and in good hands all time.
Andrea was amazing and really showed us everything. Amazing time was had by all and the memory will last a lifetime
Ed was the best! A Maui native with a deep love for Maui. He gave us a real sense of what it was like growing up on the island throughout the day. We saw so many cool places and amazing vistas, swam in waterfalls, ate banana bread, hiked bamboo forests, ate at the food trucks in Hana Town, explored caves, saw goats near and far, and bought some fresh fruit from the side of the road. It was an amazing day that my family will never forget, Mahalo Ed!
We spent the day with Vincente! We travels the road to Hana and it was simply AMAZING! Vincente, understood the assignment as we did not know what or where this tour would not should take us! Our guide is a supporter of all things local and it was our absolute pleasure to eat and drink at local establishments! We also learned some incredible information about the island and its vegetation. One thing I must mention is that Vincente is safe and courteous. If you are trying to decide which local company to travel with once you exit the ship, you simply must go with our guy Vincente!
Fantastic private tour of road to Hana. Patricia customized our tour based on our preferences, while highlighting other important spots for us to see. I am so Glad we booked this because I can’t imagine driving those windy tiny roads by ourselves. She was knowledgeable and accommodating to our requests. She was really sweet with our 10 year old daughter. And when we arrived to our hotel room, they had left a gift for us- a framed picture of our family taken during the tour.
Outstanding experience! Patricia and Vicente made the road to Hana something we will never forget. The car was in optimal condition. Perfect planning, considering that we had 2 kids in our party. Snacks, fun stories and interesting information all along the way. Definitely recommend this tour!
Our Jeep tour with Lani was hands-down the highlight of our Maui trip. From the moment we met Vicente, we knew we were in good hands. His knowledge of the island's hidden gems and passion for sharing its beauty with visitors is infectious. We explored rugged terrain, scenic vistas, and secret spots that few tourists get to experience. His expertise and care for his guests made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour. The views, the laughter, and the aloha spirit - it was all truly unforgettable! Highly recommend Lani Wanderlust for an authentic Maui adventure. Mahalo, Vicente!
We had already rented a Jeep two days ago and drove the Road to Hana ourselves, thinking it would be an adventure. While Black Sand Beach was stunning, we quickly realized that navigating Hana alone was stressful – from the narrow roads to trying to find the best hidden spots. We didn’t want to end our Maui trip on that note, so we booked the Private Road to Hana Open-Air Jeep Tour — and it completely changed everything. This tour showed us the true beauty of Maui in the most relaxing, awe-inspiring way. Here’s why I highly recommend it: 1. Tailored and Non-Touristy: I’m quite picky when it comes to travel – I don’t enjoy typical touristy trips. But every single stop on this tour amazed me. Each spot was more breathtaking than the last, and I must have taken over 2,000 photos! Even the ride back to the hotel felt magical. 2. Incredibly Smooth Ride: I was genuinely surprised at how comfortable the ride was. My 8-year-old daughter usually gets car sick easily, but she didn’t feel sick at all thanks to the guide’s gentle and careful driving. 3. The Perfect Guide: Our guide made the entire experience feel so personal and comfortable. Traveling with family, that kind of care and attention makes all the difference. If you truly want to see the soul of Maui and feel its beauty, don’t do it alone. This tour was the highlight of our family vacation, and I’m so grateful we did it.
stacey was great! she was perfect for our girls trip! she made us feel safe with her driving. she was also fun and easy to be with! road to hana tour was d highlight of our maui trip! it is so beautiful. every turn is beautiful!!
Patricia was a wonderful host with a wealth of knowledge and insight to the culture and history of Hana and the towns and plant species on the way. An excellent driver that knew the perfect places to stop for pictures and food. Highly recommend!
The secret spots, the green turtles, the genuineness of Vincente and Patricia is 2nd to one. We had the best time, they took so many photos of us and I simply could not imagine doing this tour with anyone else. I HIGHLY recommend...!
Vincente was the absolute BEST!!!! I cannot recommend him enough. Our family did a private tour on the Road to Hāna with him and he was extremely attentive, fun, and knowledgable. His energy was unmatched and we loved him off the bat. Amazing tour guide but an even better person. Day full of laughs and fun, he connected with our family so well!
We were really bummed because we had to cancel our scheduled tour as we weren’t sure if we would be able to dock in Maui. Luckily we were able to dock and while exiting the pier we met Patricia and Vincent who were doing the tour we had to cancel and even price matched to give us a deal close to the one we had. Our group of 7 enjoyed a half day to the road to Hana in two cool bright green jeeps. We enjoyed the ride with the top down listening to Hawaiian music and a wonderful narrative from Vincent about the surroundings. We really lucked out finding these two! Vicki Apple
The most amazing activity we did in Maui! The views were breath taking! Our tour guide was the BEST! He was so knowledgeable, patient, and respectful! I was able to take several photos and really enjoy the beauty of Hana! As well as the local food! Our tour guide knew exactly where to stop for an even more authentic tour! Foodies would be thrilled and the views are heavenly! We really enjoyed the open air tour, because it gave us more views and scents, which allowed us to intake even more of the beautiful tour! I would highly recommend this tour with Lani Wanderlust! They have great vehicles and tour guides and really catered to us in a private tour! We absolutely LOVED this activity in Maui!
We had the best experience. If you visit Maui, Road to Hana is a must. Patricia is an excellent tour guide, she knows a lot about the island and took us to beautiful places. We had a really really nice time. We will definitely come back and book another tour with them
Amazing trip to Hana. Vicente was the best! Very knowledgeable about all there is to see and do on the road to Hana and he was very fun and courteous. Top notch service and highly recommend.
Patricia was a wonderful guide. The hidden gems are a must see and this is the right company to choose!!! Thank you for making my 70th birthday a blessing.
We had the absolute best time with Vicente. He showed us everything and more often going off the beaten path multiple times to show us way more than we would have otherwise found on our own. This was definitely the way to see Hana. 5 stars for sure
This tour was fantastic.! Vincent was our guide and he was second to none.! He was passionate about all of the island. He showed us Hawaiian nature, local culture, great food, and shops. This tour with Vincent is a must if you go to Maui!!!! I will recommend to all friends that this is the first thing you do so you understand what Maui is all about!!!
Such a beautiful amazing experience!! The guides are so fun and kind and the views are to die for. A huge highlight of my trip ❤️
Vicente who is very knowledgeable of all things Maui and Road to Hana!! Knew the best banana bread and best coffee and beautiful waterfalls. He is just a great guy who loves his job. Thanks tons Vicente!
Thanks to all the team that made this an incredible experience. An amazing opportunity to explore the Hawaiian landscapes. You won’t regret!
We had a great time. The vehicle was very comfortable and our guide Vincente was very knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. We got to see very unique sites which we will take with us forever.
We had no tour planned after disembarking NCL on the first day in Maui. After speaking with Vicente and Patricia at the tours station outside the pier, we decided to go for a private tour. It was not disappointing! What an experience for us from beginning to end! Vicente was very knowledgeable about all facets of the island life from its history, the rich plant life, to native customs and courtesies. The road to Hana, all the beaches, waterfalls, and the awesome sunset at Haleakala National park was all incredible! This tour left us with so many wonderful memories! Vicente ensured we experienced and saw all the beauty the island had to offer and much much more! Need to mention that the location we went to for lunch was the best! We ate (for the first time) the famous Huli Huli chicken and BBQ in Hana! Delicious! Highly recommend this company…they definitely treat you like ohana!
The best experience with the best team you can imagine. Being in Maui is Magical and having them as tour guides to Hana is a VIP experience, since we got in car, we live the music that was aligned with the trips, we learn amazing things, the view was absolutely stunning, the tropical forest and the smell of flowers and wet soils, the waterfalls, the soap-plant (forever in my mind), the huli-huli, the banana Bread, they’ve got me a Guava direct from the tree. Honestly, the words are just something that I wanted to share with you, please give yourself the best present, you need to live this personally.
Patricia is a perfect tour guide. Our private tour with her was full of interesting facts, fabulous places-to-visit and some good song choices. Starting from Hana in the Jeep, we made it to Haleakala on the first day and West Maui on the second. At Hana, she took us to different vendors to try out banana bread and coconut; also different spots for waterfalls. Hana is a great place to sightsee if you love nature. Haleakala, on the other hand, is something completely new to us. Volcanoes are probably one of the many reasons why people travel to Hawaii. Patricia showed us breathtaking sunset view spots as well as volcano caldera hiking trail about 20 miles long. During our second day trip to West Maui, we zipped around green, yellow and red areas of the mountain. Due to different climate and soil at each area, drastically different colors ooze out but make a good harmony with great sightseeing opportunities. Here Patricia took us to Dragon’s teeth, resorts, a city which was unfortunately debated by fires recently, as well as multiple different nice little hiking spots. Too bad I cannot remember the names. Ending up with a swimming at a beach, she drove us back to our cruise. I highly recommend Patricia (who also designed her website and name card) and her family owned business for a wonderful and memorable Hawaii private tour.
What an experience! Omg. Maui is such a magical place and there is no better way to explore it than with people who knows it well and of course, on an open-air Jeep!! Vicente and Patricia are so friendly and make this adventure very unique. I recommend it 100%. And I hope to come back to this beautiful island soon. Mahalo guys and Alooohaa 🌺
The highlight of our Hawaii trip? Cruising the Road to Hana in a convertible Jeep. Memories we’ll treasure forever. Totally recommended… what an experience!
Unmatched adventure! Stunning landscapes, secret spots, and the joy of exploring on our terms. A must for any bucket list!
Unforgettable! Our private Road to Hana adventure in a convertible Jeep was pure bliss. Breathtaking views, hidden gems, and the freedom to explore at our own pace. Truly a bucket-list experience!
Altogether we had previously discussed doing the Road to Hana by ourselves with our rental car or doing it with a tour, we are really Really glad that we chose the tour! Patricia is an excellent, fun, and super knowledgeable tour guide. ! Thank you soo much. We had a memorable day. Based on our experience we highly recommend this tour to anyone, and we are looking forward at doing it again. Thanks to Patricia, this tour became the most delightful memory of our trip to Maui. Mahalo!!
We had the most incredible experience with Lani Wanderlust Tours! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Our guide, Patricia, was so friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the history, culture, and natural beauty of the island. The road to Hana is famous for its twists, turns, and jaw-dropping views, and having a local guide made the experience so much more enjoyable, Patricia handled all the driving, so we could focus on soaking in the stunning landscapes and taking photos without any stress. The tour was packed with highlights, from the lush waterfalls and black sand beaches to the hidden gems like the Seven Sacred Pools and the breathtaking bamboo forest. Patricia also took us to local spots that were off the beaten path, which really made the tour feel special and personalized. Lunch was delicious, and we had plenty of opportunities to stretch our legs and explore. I highly recommend Lani Wanderlust to anyone visiting Maui, whether it’s your first time or you’ve been here before. It's an experience you won’t forget, and it’s definitely worth every penny. This tour is the perfect way to see the beauty of Hana without the hassle. A must-do if you're in Maui
This was an amazing experience! We were taken to the most pristine parts that would be otherwise difficult to reach, and the tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate. One of the best trips I ever took!! Totally recommend.
10/10 recommend! If you’re thinking about booking a tour, without a doubt: DO IT!!! Honestly such a life changing experience; not only were the views absolutely breathtaking, but the energy that the guides brought made it all the more remarkable. We were able to stop and take many beautiful photos, and also take in all the nature. The guides provided a lot of information surrounding the island which was super helpful in both learning and adding to the experience. They were super attentive and always strived to make us all very comfortable. Super friendly, knew the island very well, and overall, the vibes were just absolutely amazing. If I had a chance to do it all again I would in a heartbeat!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing this tour, and it exceeded all of my expectations. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and personalized, making it the highlight of my trip.
A wonderful tour! The guide takes you to the most iconic local attractions, including hidden gems that aren't even published. He knows the area exceptionally well and shares plenty of useful tips to make your journey unforgettable. A must-do if you're visiting Maui!
I had an amazing experience on the Tour! The scenic drive was breathtaking, but what truly made the trip unforgettable was our guide. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and having a great time. Their knowledge of the island and enthusiasm made every stop even more enjoyable. It was clear they love what they do, and their passion and professionalism made this tour one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a personalized and memorable experience!
Amazing Trip, breathtaking stops, gorgeous waterfalls, lush rainforests, and stunning coastal views. We had plenty of time to take photos and the guide was really kind and passionate. On top of that, they prioritized our comfort with snacks and a welcoming atmosphere throughout the journey.
We met Patricia, chose her service first because she spoke Spanish, and we had no regrets, it was the best to be with her, a great guide, her service was excellent, she deserves 10 stars.
We took the Road to Hana tour in a jeep during our honeymoon and it was an amazing experience. Vicente was an exceptional guide: he treated us wonderfully, gave us many recommendations and answered all our doubts. Plus, it led us to enjoy a delicious chicken in a place we probably wouldn't have found on our own. The views during the tour were spectacular, each stop surpassed the previous one. Thank you for making this tour an unforgettable memory!
