Roger was an amazing tour guide. His known facts about the sights we visited and the marine life we saw helped add to the amazing experience we had. And he was very accommodating. In the water, I had a goggle malfunction (something I was doing wrong) and he immediately swam over to me and swapped his goggles with mine. He really wanted us to have a great experience. The other thing I loved was that Roger took pictures of everything we saw and even of us. He posted them on Facebook and texted me when he did. I don't have a waterproof case for my camera so I was very grateful for this. I copied the pics and posted them right away for my friends to see. I loved this kayak/snorkel experience and will book it again when we return. The only thing I would recommend is that you use the restroom before hand. There are no stops and honestly, you don't want to! I could have gone another 2 hours.

A true local Hawaiian that gave us an educational history of the islands and Maui area. He picked us up right on time in a clean, air conditioned and comfortable minivan. We had a private tour for just the two of us, although he assisted some friends we ran into along the way. He had cold drinks ready and carried them on our hike for us. Vene was polite, professional, and a perfect guide for our adventure. He was a lending hand for the steep and slippery areas, always keeping an eye out for danger. He explained the songs and chants of the Hawaiian culture as we went. My only disappointment was we hadn't booked Epic any other adventures. Although not the cheapest tour, the extra money was well worth it. Thank you Vene & Epic Experience.

We did a family tour with my husband, sister, brother-in-law and me last October, and it was amazing service. Emily was super helpful and friendly throughout the whole booking process. Christian was our tour guide, and was super hilarious and fun to talk to. He also let us all take naps on the way back since we were so pooped from the sun and adventures. The BEST parts were that he took us to waterfalls to jump off of--first was the smallest one that my husband, brother-in-law and I jumped off of. Then it was one double the size, that only Christian and my husband jumped off of. Christian really guided him through it and kept jumping in himself to show examples. What an adventure! He was super knowledgeable, took us to get sweet banana bread and good food in Hana, and we had one last swim at a beautiful Red Sand Beach. Highly recommended private tour to fit your needs! In our case it was waterfalls and local info.

We created tons of cool memories and had new experiences thanks to our tour guide Keone. It's a smaller mom and pop type tour company, which we liked. The tour groups r smaller; we were supposed to have a group of 3 joining our group of 3 but they cancelled so we had the tour all to ourselves! Be ready for a full day; they picked us up from our hotel around 9am and got back to our hotel in the evening. They provide lunch and snacks. Also be ready to get your shoes dirty! Bring layers for the ever-changing rainforest weather and bug spray if mosquitoes like you. It seems like they will customize the tour according to the group and likes/dislikes. My group consisted of three 29 year old adventurous active ladies but i think it would be good for families too. We went to a local market, Buddhist temple-like place. We went on a hike through a bamboo forest, saw rainbow eucalyptus, banyan trees, ate guava and flowers (that's right, we ate ginger flowers!) that were growing in the fields. We saw beautiful colorful tropical birds. We did a short hike to a waterfall and then went swimming in the waterfall. We went to a black sand beach which we had all to ourselves. We went to a beach full of turtles on the sand. We tried lilikoi and fresh homemade banana bread. We moved at our own pace; if we wanted to stay at one place longer, we could. We spent quite a bit of time in the car (I took Meclizine to avoid motion sickness from the windy road) but Keone spent that time to educate us on... EVERYTHING Hawaii! We learned tons from Keone and he made us feel taken care of. We thought about driving Hana Road on our own but I'm SO glad we decided to take this tour. Take the tour to make some awesome memories, be safe (the road has many one way parts and u want to be able to enjoy the beautiful view), and learn all about the rich Hawaiian history and land. It's SO worth the money, I don't think you'll be sorry :)

When our cruise ship arrived in Maui I stumbled upon the guy selling this tour company in a mall…read more He was very personable and certainly a great sales person. He showed us large colorful photos of the six or seven places we would see on our reasonably priced tour. With our group of six he told us we would have our own private van and tour guide. The flyer stated we would have a healthy organic snack and beverage included although the salesman said the van would stop at the Mano Market and we would purchase our own snack. He also said he would have a table and chairs for us to sit on at the scenic lunch stop. We went for it at $65 per person for the Half-way to Hana Tour. When we met up with our tour guide the next morning she was very friendly and personable and on time. The van was new, seat belted and she was a very good driver. The rub was we though we would be stopping every ten or 15 minutes for some sort of tour site. We stopped briefly at an overlook of the beach where the seal turtles come in and the guide said we would return to that spot later at the end of the tour to see the turtles. soon we stopped at the Mano Market to pick up our food and drinks. There was no ice chest or any other means to keep our food and drink cool. I was concerned about possible food poisoning with the food in a hot storage area with out a means to cool it. Then we continued on up the road to Hana. It is an endless serious of very sharp turns that go on forever. We made no stops for at least 45 minutes and by that time two out of the six in our group had motion sickness and did not want to go on. Consequently we went no further than that one stop. This wasn't the fault of the tour company but had we known we would be driving around such a windy road without a stop every 15 minutes or so we probably would not have signed up for it. We opted to eat lunch at this stop but there were no tables and chairs. There were a couple of park benches but only one was in the shade and it was occupied. We ended up sitting on wet grass in the shade eating our now warm drinks and sandwiches. Not a comfortable situation for senior citizens. When we finished eating we headed back to the sea turtle area and took a long break there and saw the sea turtles. It it hadn't been for that the tour would have been a complete bust. Although all of us liked the young friendly girl who was our guide, she was not able to offer up the kind of informative, educational information about the things along our route that other tour guides offer up in a more professionally operated tour. She was just a very nice friendly young girl who was a good driver. The bottom line is we payed $65 each for a drive up a windy road to eat warm sandwiches, drink warm sodas, and set on wet grass, see several sea turtles, and spend some time in a bar drinking a beer to use up the extra time that we had because we couldn't take the drive half-way up to Hana. With a guide with more information on local history and lore it might have been okay but that was not the case. My recommendation is pay a bit more and get a "real" tour.

I was traveling with my three kids, ranging in age from 4 to 22, and somehow Kat created an experience that every single one of them loved. That alone says a lot! Kat is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much with us about the history of Maui, Hawaiian culture, the people, and the land. But what makes her truly special goes far beyond her knowledge. You can tell how deeply she cares about the island, its people, and the guests she takes out. Nothing felt rushed or like a typical tourist excursion. It felt personal, thoughtful, and genuine. She went out of her way to make sure everyone was comfortable and was especially wonderful about accommodating my four-year-old. I honestly don't think we would have experienced the Road to Hana--or Maui--in the same way without her. It was educational, beautiful, fun, and truly magical. These are memories my family and I will cherish forever. Five stars simply aren't enough. If you're debating whether to book with Kat, book the tour. You will be so glad you did.

Best of all, he stopped at places which people who were driving themselves would never know about. We would literally pass dozens of cars parked on the side of the road only to go down the way about a mile, pull off on some side road, and find an even better more secluded beach to swim.

I was a little nervous because it seemed to be a newer company and I couldn't find reviews, but leading up to the day the tour operator (Steven) was super responsive and proactive via text and email, asking and confirming that we were aware of the high altitude of the hike and could do that. The hike itself was amazing - easily my favorite thing I did on my Maui trip. We hit three hikes throughout the day and I can't say enough about Steven's guidance. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so so much about the landscape, nature, history, cultural tidbits, and other stories of the area/what we were seeing.
