We booked a private tour of Road to Hana because we wanted the flexibility with our toddler…read more Donovan was our tour guide for the day, and he was wonderful! He made sure the trip was relaxing and tailored the day to our needs (lots of naps and beach time). He was also an incredibly safe driver and would pull over to allow faster vehicles to pass instead of rushing. I'm so glad that he was driving instead of me or my husband! Donovan also kept my husband entertained the entire ride with fun facts about the island. His knowledge about the history of Maui is vast! Would highly recommend this tour to any family looking for a more relaxing way to enjoy the Road to Hana!

You can experience the road to Hana... or you can experience…read moreit "Levi"style. If you choose the former, I promise you it will be beautiful... the kind of beauty you expect, the kind you take pictures of. But if you're LUCKY enough to experience the latter... you don't just see Maui... you feel it. And you take home something far more than photos... you take home moments that stay with you long after the sun sets. Levi came to Maui on vacation once... and never left. He sold his plane ticket and built a life here. After yesterday, I understand why... The Road to Hana isn't just a drive...it's an experience that unfolds one breathtaking moment at a time. Waterfalls you don't just look at... you swim thru them and showe under them. Climb them. Jump from them like you're 20 years old again and fearless. Hidden caves that feel like you've stepped into another world... volcanic black sand beaches that don't even look real... lush, untamed beauty around every single turn. And then... the moments you never could have planned. Pulling over for warm banana bread from a roadside stand. Homemade chocolates that feel like a secret only locals know ... so good I actually proposed to the man making them! Exotic fruits picked right there, handed to you with a "try this." And even shampoo picked from the trees Levi style...bc apparently that's just a normal Friday in Levi's world. lunch... an unforgettable, messy, perfect picnic style kind of lunch of smoked pork ribs and corn on the cob, eaten like you have nowhere else to be and all the time in the world. Shared with maybe the best part...the stories. The kind that make you laugh, pause, and realize you're sitting with someone who chose a different kind of life and never looked back. And sharing it all with my best friend of 40 years...the kind of friendship that just gets it without needing to say a word...clearly a bucket list score!! We ended the day above the clouds, watching the sun melt into the sky at Haleakalā completely in awe. Somewhere between the waterfalls, the laughter, and the stories... something shifted. We stopped thinking. We stopped planning. We just were...And now I get it. Why someone would come here for a trip...sell their plane ticket...and leave it all behind... Because life, lived like this...present, wild, unhurried... feels exactly the way it's supposed to be. Aloha Levi and mahalo ... we are leaving you with much gratitude for making us feel like Ohana!

We had an incredible day on the Hana Highway thanks to Kyle of Sandy Cheeks Tours. It was a private…read moretour with Kyle driving (my husband was so happy) and we saw waterfalls, swam in lagoons, hit up beautiful beaches, ate wild berries, had coconut ice cream from a food truck, had the best poke bowl ever, hung out with turtles, and saw so much of Hana. An amazing adventure day for the whole family! Cannot recommend him enough! Kyle brought drinks, snacks, towels, incredible knowledge, and a wonderful personality. He personalizes the tour to what we wanted to see and we loved talking with all day and listening to his incredible knowledge of Maui. Can't wait to book again with him! It was an absolute highlight of our trip.

When my wife suggested that we hire a driver to take us to Hana, I wasn't sure why we would need…read moreone. Then I started reading online about how windy and narrow the roads were. Combined with the fact that the road to Hana is nicknamed "the Road to divorce", well that made it an easy decision to go along with it. I am so glad I did! Kyle was an amazing tour guide. Not only was he well prepared for the trip with snacks and drinks, the vehicle was extremely comfortable, and he provided a running commentary all along the way of facts and history. 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 am so glad we used Sandy Cheeks!!

I've lived in Kihei for many years, but have wanted to know more about the history of our town…read more Thankfully, I found that Keith does a FREE walking tour of Kihei that takes about 90 minutes. So, we signed up on their website, which is required. Tour groups are limited to 25 people, so it won't be crowded. We met outside the Kihei Library. Keith was there, eager to get to know us and we got to know each other. Keith is a fountain of information and had a notebook of visual aids to share with us. We had a short walk through Kalama Park and learned lots of the history of Kihei, back through the time of the Hawaiian kingdom, during World War II and the present day. The mystery of the life size Humpback Whale statue was solved. Who made it? How did it wind up here? Who adds a giant lei to it twice a year? My favorite part was learning about the Maps of the Mokupuni, and finding our Ahupua'a and Moku. The tour ended with a beautiful sunset from the seawall at Kalama Park. Please don't forget to tip your nice tour guide!

** booked the trip through Cruiser Phil's but the storefront says Haleakala Bike Co,, the vans said…read moreBike Maui),This really should have been a fantastic time all around... that said, I did the full ride down years ago, my husband has never. First part was ok. Cory was very chatty and knowledgeable. We stopped to get helmets and jackets ( although the jackets were basically useless and not lined nor kept me warm). Arrived over an hour before sunrise... Cory's part ended and the bike portion started. To not rehash the entire thing, Russ was the leader and although he went over safety rules, he really didn't seem that concerned: big distances between riders, he mixed me up with another rider, chewed me out and told me I wasn't following directions and would not listen to me tell him otherwise;; later he said he couldn't tell us apart and I was the only one not in black/gray; it was a small group of 8 and there was a huge distance between the first two riders; he started off saying that the heaviest people would be the fastest-/ I was the lightest/ smallest and he told me I needed to go faster to catch up; he and the first rider who was a big girl and originally nervous and why she was in front were literally several hundred YARDS ahead of me ( and therefore everyone else); didn't go over speed bump navigation or hand signals until the last stop ( and there were multiple stops); I needed my bike adjusted bc the seat was too low and hurt my knees and he told me it was mostly cruising anyway and ignored my request after I told him I had had 2 knee surgeries.Appeared very condescending to me after the first incident. He also said if the directions aren't followed / he feels a rider is unsafe that he will have them sit in the van and that's the end of their ride---The sad thing was that one of the riders who went down literally less than a minute from the end and was taken away by ambulance..and she was the one he confused with me the very first part and obviously didn't follow his own safety instructions...but even their safety/ 911 protocol was unacceptable-- took them a while to call 911after she went down. Didn't seem like he knew how to handle the situation. Had two of the riders direct traffic using the companies walkie talkies and the batteries died ( aren't they supposed to be fully charged every ride???...)then Russ tells me after that he is certified as a first responder as he takes a 40 hour course yearly. Very pompous and showed no critical decision making skills the entire trip ( I am a physical therapist, 35+ years)....no tip for him. I highly recommend he be fired and welcome the owner to contact me through Yelp. Anthony, the assistant (driver) was very nice and helpful but the scary thing is he said that Russ is their best tour leader :0 Beautiful ride otherwise (5/5) DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY

We highly recommend Camp Maui X and can't wait to go back!

Sean and Anna at Camp Maui X made Maui and all it had to offer happen for us even the day after the worst series of storms the island had seen in years. They had our vehicle fully stocked and ready to go as mud was being plowed out of their neighborhood. We'd never used a tent top rig before but after a practice run with Sean, we took off to the grocery store, stocked our cooler and had the time of our lives. ....In case you're wondering, we're not "young" people at 45 & 60, that can sleep anywhere, so I have to admit, I was a little worried about the comfort factor of sleeping on top of a car for 9 days. Truly, we had no need to worry. The tent floor is a super thick and comfortable, queen-sized, memory foam pad. It was a pretty sweet place to lie down every night! Having our sleeping quarters on top of our rental car meant we could pop up at night whenever we were done for the day and then skeedaddle in the morning for our early plans. Due to the destruction on the island from the storm, we were able to change our plans on the fly and stay on the south side of the island where the waters were calmer and clearer. We weren't nailed into a condo or hotel somewhere where the conditions were trashed. We had a few nights reserved at Camp Olowalu for our 9 days but went ahead and made that our base camp. They have hot showers and a view from the beach to die for right on top of a gorgeous snorkeling reef. Sean & Anna checked in with us through the week, letting us know they were there if we needed them and answering questions. We were so busy having the time of our lives that I think they thought we were "dead in a ditch" somewhere....whale watching in Lahaina, snorkeling spot after spot off the side of the road, SCUBA diving at Mala & airport, paddling an outrigger off Makena, doing a massage training in Makawau and kayaking to Molikini. Having all the gear in the Xterra was so easy!!!! We loved it! Camp Maui X!!!!! You rock! Thank you!!!!

As my grandboys say...Two Big Thumbs Up! Everything on the trip exceeded expectations. I could…read moredetail the tour and talk about all the great views but that is pretty much the same with all the bike tour companies that go up the volcano. Since we have toured with other companies, I want to tell you what I think Maui Bombers does better. If you want general information about the route, check their website. Communication- instead of only getting canned responses from the internet reservation program you get messages from Matt that respond back to his cell phone. Small Group- only six in our group. We jumped in a Honda Pilot and headed up the volcano with Matt and Eric. The small group size created a more intimate experience. We talked with each other, shared experiences and had laughs. Matt and Eric joined our conversations as well. We all got to know each other a little bit. You don't get that on a bus with 15 other people. Hospitality- we were taken care of by the guys who run the company not employees who may or may not have the best interest of the company in mind. Matt fresh baked treats for us and worked to make everyone feel like family. Seriously, Matt could also be a baking star with his Coconut Muffins and Lilikoi Bars. Guess Eric doesn't bake, but he does drive well. Equipment- we rode newer Trek mountain bikes with street tires. Comfortable helmets, windbreakers and gloves also provided if you like. Upgrade from the single speed heavy cruiser bikes most tour companies use. The Treks are nimble and easy to ride. Tour Route- we had a longer tour route than other companies, on the way down we passed the other groups loading up while we were on the way to the beach. Personality- Matt is a loud energetic let's have fun kinda of guy, great for a guide. Played inspirational music from his bike to keep the energy up. Did I mention Matt is loud and animated? Eric is a little more reserved but is there to take care of business loading/unloading bikes, driving the safety car and just making sure everything is great. Great team, very professional. Safety- I don't mean to imply that you will be unsafe on any of the other tours but we felt safe and taken care of on our tour with Maui Bombers. Good bike check and safety briefing and hand signals. I appreciate that Matt leads the way, warning if necessary and making turns on the correct roads. Eric followed behind in the safety car keeping traffic at bay and letting Matt know when we needed to find a pull off spot to let traffic pass. We saw one tour where the guide followed the pack, yikes...guide following? Our tour also left a little later allowing most of the local and tourist traffic to clear the volcano and villages so we had the road pretty much to ourselves. Photos and Videos- along the tour Matt takes photos and videos of the group and scenery. While that is not unique, on the way back Matt airdrops all the photos and videos to everyone. No extra charge and they are great quality. Really nice perk. Price- Maui bombers was a bit higher than some of the others but you know what, you get what you pay for. Small group, equipment, snacks, photos...yeah, you get what you pay for. The Real Deal- Matt and Eric are the guys. They take care of you like their business and reputation depends on it because it does. The energy is great. These are the reasons for my five star review of Maui Bombers. Highly recommended.

Communication from Matt was excellent. He contacted me the day before to let me know the national…read morepark was closed and that we would have to do an alternate route. He left it up to me if I wanted to do that or cancel. We were game and we said let's go. Pick up was easy. Plus Matt does small parties. We start off with the coconut pineapple muffin he made. Which was insanely delicious. Then he says"we are going to drive up and double check to see if we can get in because there has been no updates". We got lucky and we made it up the mountain as they had fixed the sink hole and the road was clear. We were the only ones up there because the other bike company did not even try. So that was a big bonus. We had one in our party decide it was too dangerous and Matt handled that perfectly. And then she tried to bike an easier part and quit. He handled that perfectly too. Then we got to check out Makawao for 20 min. Which was cool. Then we rode all the way down to Pa'ia. And met him at Baldwin Beach area. 17 total miles of bike riding. All easy coasting. Of course the first 7 miles is all switchbacks and thrilling. With Matt you do not have to wear motorcycle helmets, you wear bike helmets. Matt provides that and optional bike gloves. He even has wind breakers if you forget yours. We all had the best bike ride of our lives. No joke. We are still talking about it today. And actually that is not a bike ride. That is a thrill ride. All those switchbacks etc. Matt drives you back to your car at Target. He gives you a second treat. His passion fruit squares. These were very delicious too. But I personally liked the coconut pineapple muffin better. We will most likely do this again if we come back to Maui. It is that good. Hitting the red button now.
