See Hawaii’s largest chocolate factory, tour a West Maui cacao estate, and taste nine chocolates on a guided small-group trip from Lahaina.
“Great little tour. Very informative. I would give 5 stars but the guide pretty much asked for a 15.00 tip.”
Watch Haleakala sunrise, then ride a self-guided 15-mile descent with included bike gear, cold-summit layers, and Makawao breaks.
“The sunrise was breathtaking, the whole experience of the color changes is a spectacle. Dan was an awesome tour guide, very funny and knowledgeable, gave a great tour. The top of the summit is very cold, definitely wear layers, you'll be able to leave your extra layers in the van for the switchbacks. You will need to take the layers for the second portion but you can use one of their backpacks or bring your own. The bike ride was very fun. The road is tight but it is totally doable for almost all levels of rider. We did self guided and are not avod riders and we did fine.…”
Self-guided Haleakala downhill biking with Maui Sunriders: two ride segments, expert-tuned bikes, Kula and Makawao stops, Paia finish.
“The actual bike riding experience was great. My experience with Viator was not. Viator did not send me the address of where to meet. I tried logging on using the email I used to sign up and it would not work. It would send me an email to sign in without a password and then would tell me the email was incorrect. That was false because I received confirmation of the booking. We looked it up online and found an address for pickup at Baldwin. But nobody was there. I got a hold of someone at Viator on the phone which the phone number is very hard to find on…”
Beginner snorkeling at Wailea Beach for non-swimmers, with full gear, shallow-water practice, and paddleboard turtle viewing.
“If you can’t swim this is a ABSOLUTE must !! Very detailed and helpful you will feel a safe the entire time ! Honestly even if you can swim and would like to be a first time snorkeling experience this is the one for you the staff was amazing and we had sooo much fun !”
Guided East Maui rainforest hike with waterfall swims and safe cliff jumps, plus a picnic lunch by the falls. Pickup options included.
“Our hiking experience was wonderful! Our tour guide, Pasco, was attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. He made our tour memorable with his knowledge and passion. The hike had some challenging parts but views were well worth it.”
Self-guided Haleakala Express bike tour with Kona gear, windbreakers and helmet. Ride from 6,500 ft, then Makawao and Haiku.
“It is disappointing that half of this ride was eliminated by the local access restriction. It has definitely been spoiled.”
Watch Haleakala sunrise, then bike down the volcano on a guided ride with gear provided, photo stops, and a Haiku breakfast finish.
“For the Canadians:If you are ready to heat sarcastic remarks about Canadians from your bike guide Go ahead!Not me!Tour guide saying you are the 51 st state , when I said definitely not his answer was:oh you re one of them!And went on with very negative remarks about Prime Minister Trudeau and enem the new one Carney! It is not like you have a president that you can be proud of! Remarks like this in a guided tour are totally inappropriate! So unfortunately it is a nice tour but I will not recommend it to Canadians!”
Guided Maui rainforest walk to waterfalls on the road to Hana, swim in natural pools, and optional cliff jumps, with snacks and safety gear.
“We had a wonderful experience with Randalyn! She was knowledgeable and experienced and very patient with us older folks. We all had a great time! Thank you, Randalyn!”
Shaka Guide Maui Classic Road to Hana audio tour uses GPS turn-by-turn directions, offline narration, and scenic stops for a flexible Hana day.
“We were going to do a tour with a company, but it was going to cost about $1000 for our family of 5- so we decided to rent a Jeep Wrangler and get this guide- and I’m so glad we did! The experience was incredible and the app made it easy to go at our own pace. The narration was very good, the driving music was very pleasant and we loved it. We used a dash/ window mount to hold my phone at eye level so we could see the GPS and the Bluetooth connected the sound to the car so everyone could hear the audio. Shaka Guide was excllent…”
Maui shore snorkeling with a marine biologist in Olowalu, including gear, reef-safe sunscreen, photos, and green sea turtles.
“My daughter and I were so excited for this adventure. Paul was kind enough to loan her a wet suit since she’s young and lean. She did get cold towards the end but his assistant Julia was so kind and towed her back to shore a little early. They both took such great care of everyone I was thoroughly impressed. We saw lots of turtles which was well worth the swim and he even captured an amazing picture of us towards the end. I’d highly recommend this adventure but be sure to have a wet suit or know your bodies ability to stay warm in open water.”
A 90-minute Lahaina cacao estate tour with a guided walkthrough and a 9-piece chocolate tasting paired with a cocoa drink.
“It was a very relaxing eye opening adventure and one of the tastiest treats during our visit to Maui.Our guide Cassandra was very helpful and very knowledgeable.I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be unique and not just like everyone else that visit the Hawaiian Islands.”
Haleakala summit views, then a self-guided 15-mile downhill bike ride to Makawao and Haiku with Kona bikes and an expert guide.
“Kimo is fantastic! Exceptional knowledge of Maui including plant and animal life. Provided great safety and ride instructions. However, it was disappointing to learn during the pre-ride instructions that the section through Kula is closed to riders. I would have benefitted from being informed ahead of time. Other than that, Kona bikes are great to ride and scenery is always wonderful.”
GPS autoplay Road to Hana audio tour. Drive at your pace, learn local stories, and use it offline for a full day.
“Excellent way to experience the road to Hana. Great narration and interesting information. Would be good to add that some stops require a permit that must be purchased in advance.”
90 minutes of sea scooter snorkeling from Wailea Beach, guided to reef homes for turtles and fish, with small-group safety coaching.
“The guys were well-prepared, very friendly, and safety-conscious. I felt comfortable and safe throughout. I would recommend this to everyone, both non-swimmers and very good swimmers”
A certified shore-based scuba session in Kaanapali, Maui. Small groups, top-notch equipment, and great chances to spot turtles and sharks.
“I had to change my dive at the last second and they were able to accommodate me! Our dive guide had a wonderful balance of “we’re here to have fun” and maintaining essential safety protocol. Sometimes places are extremely lax, and they threaded the needle perfectly. Will book with them again next time I’m on island”
