It was really fun! Two things we didn't care for and that was some of the guests were getting car sick since you're in a small bus going around corners. It's a very windy road to Hana. The other thing we wished there was different options for lunch. We had a great tour guide that grew up there and she was fun and informative. I can't remember her name in Hawaiian though. She was great!
Not good. Stops were OK. Guide/Driver (Tom) was terrible! Walk to meeting spot too far. He "assigned seats" without knowing anything about the passengers even though my husband & I were there 1st, our canes were obvious, & we explained my need to see out the front so as not to get sick. He absolutely refused to alter his seating plan. Another elderly woman with a cane, was made to squeeze into the back. It was difficult getting into the van without a step that companies usually provide. He put the youngest, most able bodied group of 4 in the front with him and the bench seat behind him. I had to close my eyes the 1st half of the trip to try to not get sick so missed everything except stops. When I DID get sick, he switched the young boy up front and I. I was OK after that but the 3 of us were upset and our day spoiled. We shouldn't have tipped him, but did. He chastised the group of 4 for not tipping enough. The other elderly woman did not tip him.
It couldn’t have been any better
The black beach and park locations were great! Although we felt rushed at the best locations. We could have easily eliminated some of the stops for banana bread and for ice cream in order to spend more time in the scenic locations. Our driver/guide, Kobi, drove extremely aggressively on the return trip. He drove the curves so fast as if he were in a race. My wife was terrified and I felt he was putting all of us passengers in danger. Part of the experience is to enjoy the drive and the view which we could not do because he was speeding. What could have been a great day ended negatively.
Our tour guide was AMAZING and everything was well organized!
Our guide, Lepa, was very knowledgeable about Hana. We had the best banana bread- warm and moist! She shared her story and it made our excursion really special! The meeting point was a long walk from the cruise.
Le guide était vraiment fantastique, tout a été parfait!
We loved being able to see the amazing Road to Hana without worrying about doing the driving. Our driver was very knowledgeable and stopped at many beautiful sites that we may not have been aware of if we did the drive ourselves. The meals provided were good. The only drawback was that the van (especially the back) was a bit tight on space. The seat (meant for 4) could only really accommodate 3 adults comfortably.
