Road to Hana Tour met lunch en pick-up

The scenery was beautiful but the tour guide... In my opinion, Travis expressed too many personal opinions throughout the trip that were completely irrelevant. Again, my oponion - there were not enough stops for scenery and too many stops at family businesses.

So here is my honest opinion of this tour, since it was difficult to find thorough reviews. If you take any tour to Hana, you won’t be totally disappointed because it is a beautiful jungle rain forest land. It is worth a trip by tour or even by car. The road was not as wild as I imagined & I afterwards thought if i should’ve just drove my rental car. There are many many rental cars up there. While you’ll be glad you went on any tour, I would not pick this one if you have other options. For a few reasons- The first stop is a “tropical fruit plantation”. You don’t see a tropical fruit plantation you see a restaurant where you would assume you get tropical fruit. You get watermelon, cantaloupe & honeydew none of which are tropical lol. It was also incredibly hard and I was shocked at how unsweet it was. It was like gas station fruit essentially.. The second main issue, I went with this because it said it had vegan/vegetarian options. Most places these days can provide a satisfying accommodation if it says this. I was honestly shocked at what was provided….it was very slimy eggplant & squash pieces that had absolutely no flavoring, no sauce, no hummus, seriously nothing besides those wet veggies on two pieces of thick break, but both pieces of bread were completely soggy and falling apart from how wet the vegetables were… I am the kind of person who will eat anything. I’m not picky and I want to appreciate things that are provided. But this sandwich was literally inedible. I was glad I got a scoop of potato salad at the chicken place. It was really disheartening to be in the middle of no where with nothing but snacks I brought.. the chips they gave were also expired… I’ve done other tour bus tours & they provided drinks which is not hard or costly at all to have sodas… they had just waters. For the price, they really should put more care into it. You could give vegan people a vegetarian patty or hummus , anything besides soggy vegetables with absolutely no seasoning or sauce… and a few can drinks. Our driver also had a coke for her in the cooler. The pros were that at least her driving was good on the roads. It’s great to have a local guide who knows the area & can explain customs, culture, & the plants & animals. Some people seemed offended by how she answered questions because half of the time she wouldn’t or would make people feel stupid for asking. People were mostly quiet after that. There also was a guy who came on our bus & talked about Jesus, which I’m sure if you were Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc you might be like uhh why is this guy trying to convert me? But that’s religion.. There is a chance to get in the water on the black sand beach & by a waterfall. You will also stop by the rainbow eucalyptus tree for a photo. Make sure to look for mongooses, so cute. The lunch stop was also very pretty, but I wish we were able to tour the flower farm for just like ten minutes. Also don’t buy any fruit to take on the plane, they will take it. But of course eat some while you are there. There is a little stop with great lychees & pomelos ❤️

Absolutely worth it! Every bit of the drive was gorgeous. It had just rained the day before, so some waterfalls that hadn't appeared in months were flowing. Our guide was super friendly & an awesome driver. Definitely recommend stopping to get the Huli Huli chicken if your driver mentions it.

After taking other wonderful excursions through Viator, I booked this one for the Road to Hana, expecting the same quality experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case. While our driver/guide arrive promptly at our hotel for pickup, the experience quickly went down from there. Starting with not answering questions/providing the details of the day's agenda, escalating to road rage and seriously putting our lives in danger, and topping it off by insulting several guests for chatting among themselves.

The Hana landscape was incredible and black sand beach beautiful. So much fun. The driver was so much fun and informative

Yvonne was an awesome driver! She was so knowledgeable and cheerful. We had a delightful day. She knew all the local food stops and all the must see scenic points.

Travis was our tour guide, and he was amazing. I’ve did this tour in 2007 with a different company, and this tour blew that tour out of the water. We saw and swam at the black sand beaches, stopped and swam at a waterfall, and ended our day seeing turtles. Would highly recommend this tour!

The entire tour was wonderful-from breakfast - the scenery-the stops - lunch-but especially our guide Maui. Thank you.

Great trip with numerous stops. A fun day on this beautiful island. The driver was very knowledgeable about the island and had interesting stories.

Great guide. Very informative. Lost of great opportunities for photos and breaks along the way. Highly recommended.
