    AVOID THIS SHUTTLE SERVICE AT ALL COST!! We were scheduled for a 10:30AM pick up time 10/20/2019. After checking and waiting 10 minutes early, we waiting an additional 10 minutes past pick-up time. We called the office number (at 10:40) only to be greeted by a very rude and inconsiderate lady who stated she was going to check and abruptly hung up the phone on us. She never called back, after calling again to check on the status she said it was going to be 5 minutes and hung up again. WE WAITED AN ADDITIONAL 20 MINUTES AND STILL NOTHING. (If you were going to push us onto the next scheduled ride why would you lie and tell us someone was going to arrive in 5 minutes?) Mistakes happen and nobody is perfect. However if you're in the "service industry" you should treat your clients with good service. When mistakes are made be apologetic not confrontational. If you're looking for a company who doesn't take their services seriously or who treat their customers like disposable paper cups, than this is the company FOR YOU!! Cheers!

    Our first time in Maui and we did the road to Hana tour. 13 people on the tour bus including our guide, Bjorn, who was awesome. He was very full of information throughout the drive, funny and polite. He talked a lot, and someone actually asked him to be quiet for 5 minutes so we could enjoy the beautiful scenery in silence, but if you do that much driving in a day, I guess you need to do something to keep you alert and awake, especially on some of the white knuckle sections of the road. He got us through the tour safely and that was important to us. The kids' favorite part was the rough sections of the road which felt like a roller coaster ride. We made 4-5 stops and spent about 10 minutes at each one except the Black Sand Beach where we spent around 45 minutes.

    I don't know what kind of a person drives like this. Bus driver suddenly changes his mind and cut to take the left turn lane, blocking the middle lane. What a complete

    Excellent tour! Takes you on an intimate little bus all around Hana. There were about 20 of us. At least 6 people actually flew in from Honolulu to catch the bus at 8:30 am. Tai was our tour guide and he was incredible. This tour gives you the opportunity to see everything and then go back and spend more time in the places that caught your eye. I would pack snacks because the provided meals are yummy, but not much. Also be aware that this is a bus tour, not a hiking tour. We were not told. Wear comfortable closed toe shoes, bring a sweater, I would suggest a hat, definitely sunblock, bug spray, a phone charger (as they let you charge on the bus) and money (they stop at several shops along the tour). My husband didn't bring his wallet thinking it was a hiking tour. We felt terrible, only had $8 to give the driver a tip. He was an AMAZING tour guide. Wish we had more to give, can't say enough good things about him. Don't bring water: They provide waters for you on the bus.

    Thankful I was not a passenger on this bus because the driver was going at least twice the speed limit at night down a resort street then proceeded to make a u-turn too quickly going onto the sidewalk to complete the turn. Finally, to round things off, the driver stopped in the middle of the hotel roundabout completely blocking traffic. Company should really invest in some safety training for drivers.

    Derrick was a great driver with great stories and a true native to Hawaii. Will definitely book again.

    In response to the owners lies - (Original reviews in…read morephotos. Yelp said I reached my character limit capacity. Added more photos for our proof). There was no one else on the tour except one couple, whom we had no issues with. The 7 people on the bus was my family of 5 and one couple. 1. There was a hiccup in your booking system, you allowed us to book a tour because you did not close your online reservation window. If you were sold out why did the website allow us to make a reservation? Hence the "hiccup". After we booked the tour, we did move a flight around so this person could make the tour that we had a confirmation email for. Very unprofessional to email the next morning saying you were sold out AFTER we made the booking. Yes we did book late but if you were sold out you shouldn't have allowed us to make the booking plain and simple. We called multiple times because we were asking about pick up arrangements and were told to keep calling back to see when/if the tour filled up, because only then would they be able to tell us what pick up rotation we would be in. I wanted to know what hotel would be the first pick up, etc. I didn't care that our two parties were not on the same bus, which was why I didn't mention it in the booking. 2. Since you claim to have the proof that he wasnt speeding, why dont you show it? It absolutely does corroborate with the Google maps picture. I did move the camera to get a video of how bumpy the bus was DUE TO HOW FAST THE DRIVER WAS SPEEDING! But I'll include another video straight ahead where you can see how fast he flies past the mountain. As for your lies, you need to come up with better ones. I asked for a Spanish translator due to the fact only ONE person in our party spoke Spanish. The fact that you guys said we were speaking Spanish all day is hilarious because NO ONE IN OUR PARTY SPEAKS SPANISH except my mother in law, who didn't speak the whole trip. Let's add more proof that you guys are racist - when the driver picked us up II asked about the Spanish ear piece translator before my mother in law was there. The driver said no, he said I speak a little Spanish so I will do my best to speak to help you guys out. 5 minutes later he came up to my husband and started speaking Spanish. My husband told the driver he speaks ENGLISH. Louie said oh you were quiet miguel so i figured you were the spanish speaker. we were asking about translation for my mother in law. I'll also add he made multiple claims about how Latinas were "so violent" and people had to watch out for us. let's add to the review that not only are you guys liars, you are racist liars. Your tour driver is a liar, we were all sleeping on the drive back due to how sick/tired we were. Your tour driver is clearly lying to cover his mistakes. 3. We didn't ask the tour driver for ONE illegal thing AT ALL. Due to the fact he was an arrested convict (which you can find proof of by googling it) he made illegal stops on his own! He even mentioned how the rangers loved him and when HE chose to make the illegal stop in front of the waterfalls, the ranger allowed it bc they told him make it quick. We appreciate the opportunity but never asked him for one illegal stop. 4. I never said we missed anything, I said I couldn't help but wonder if we missed something. Since you want to be so detailed, we actually DID miss Ohe'o Gulch / Seven Sacred Pools (D) Charles Lindbergh's Grave / Palapala Hoomau Church Kipahulu scenic ocean views, St. Joseph Church Kaupo Ranchlands / Haleakala backside views / Maui's Last Lava Flows (D) Maui's Upcountry / Kula (S) 6. The entire tour WAS my family. Let me also add one thing I forgot to the review someone in your company gave our tour guide my number and he texted me twice asking me for his tip which was EXTREMELY unprofessional. This is an extreme safety violation. He unprofessionally texted me "This ***** Just making sure I did venmo right.. If sent tip, I have not recieved..." at 7:27pm. And "If you could let me know.." at 7:56pm. For my safety, I should NEVER have received text asking about a TIP! Even if he was wondering about the tip because he wasn't used to electronics, you still should never text someones personal cell phone number. Since he did mention multiple times that he was a liability I was scared he was going to show up to our hotel since he knew my number, hotel location, etc. Where is the response to the bulk of my review??? Do you have an explanation for how we know all this information about him being fired from his last tour job? How the current owner was only allowing him to drive as a fill in driver as a favor? Why was he a liability? Bc he speeds and risks the lives of passengers? In one of my videos I do have him talking about the story of how his dad gave him money and guns to illegally transport. As I have over 500 videos from this tour, you guys are lucky I don't want to go through and find the hard proof I have. Where is your hard proof?

Kellen's vehicle was a very clean and comfortable newer Jeep Wagoneer. My wife, Kari, broke her foot 2 days ago so we modified our excursions and eliminated hiking to attractions. Kellen quickly came up with some alternatives and explained/described them perfectly. Kellen's knowledge of the area, the plants, the trees, and the sights were full of insight and knowledge that only a local would have! We throughly enjoyed it. His driving was superb, professional, and cautious (complete with short horn honks on the countless 1 lane blind turns). We enjoyed the small independent farms, stands, and choices for lunch too. As a side note, Kellen's personal relationship with those owners opened the door to Kari being able to use a non-public restroom. We truly appreciated your assistance helping Kari to the lookouts, negotiating the roadsides, and especially to the swim under a waterfall (Kellen knew the easiest to access and really made getting to it possible for Kari). We hope others utilize this personalized service. -JoeandKari

His driving was calm, smooth, and confident, and we felt completely safe the entire time getting there and back. He knew exactly where to stop, paced the day perfectly, and took us to some truly stunning spots. It rained most of the day for us, which is just part of being in the rainforest, but it didn't take away from the experience at all. Genaro kept the energy positive, fun, and engaging throughout the long day. He's very personable and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. One thing I really appreciated was that he kept saying, "this is your tour." He made sure we stopped at places that mattered to us. I really wanted to go to Aunt Sandy's for banana bread, and Genaro made it happen. That level of flexibility and care made the day feel personal. Between the incredible views, the education along the way, the safe and comfortable drive, and Genaro's personality, this was one of the highlights of my time in Maui. I would highly recommend doing the Road to Hana with Temptation Tours, and if you can, ask for Genaro Padilla. It was a very special experience.

The answer was Yes, one can change into swimsuits during lunch before the black sand beach visit and then change out of them at a stop after the waterfall stop to be dry for the ride back to the hotels. A few days before our tour I received an email confirmation that included other useful information, such as bring along swimwear, towels, water shoes and a light jacket for the air conditioned van. I had not considered the A/C and I'm always cold, so that is a very welcome heads-up. On the day of our tour we received texts that the driver was on his way. Pretty close to the scheduled meeting time the van pulled up to our resort. The van was spacious with huge windows. Our tour was full with all 12 passenger seats occupied. Our driver/guide was Travis. He was born and raised in Hana and was a wealth of knowledge about Hana, Maui, and Hawaii. He seemed to be related to all the locals he passed on the road. There was not dull moment. Among the stops along the way were Maui Tropical Plantation for breakfast, Auntie Sandy's Banana Bread stand for those that wished to purchase, Wai'anapanapa State Park (black sand beach, also with a lava tube and a blow hole), Pua'a Ka'a State Wayside Park (usually calm enough to swim but the falls were roaring due to rain earlier in the day), and Ho'okipa Beach with turtles on the beach. Travis was an excellent driver and guide. We got great value from the cost of the excursion. One minor thing did bother us. We are Jewish and were uncomfortable during the praising Jesus sing-along. Regardless, we recommend this tour and especially Travis as a guide.

    Hawaii Island Volcano Adventure Tour (from Hilo)…read more The entire place is a delight to the senses - and Dexter, the world's greatest tour guide, gives you the best day ever! The day I spent touring the area in and around Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was probably the greatest guided tour experience of my life! Of course, the beauty, majesty, and power of this unique place creates one of the most amazing natural galleries of art and science on earth. But what made my full day of adventure truly exceptional was having Dexter for our bus driver and tour guide. He put his whole heart into giving us the most personal and delightful experience we could possibly have - for a full 9 hours! His knowledge and passion for the land, history, ecology, wildlife, and people of the Big Island of Hawai'i radiated through his ability to identify and describe myriad points of interest in a manner that was clear, steady, engaging, informative, fun, and personal without ever becoming overbearing, monotonous, or canned. He answered questions with gentle unassuming honesty, shared personal perspectives without being intrusive, and made me feel as if he was personally offering me the very best experience of Hawai'i - as if I was an old friend and he was catching me up on all I need to know and love about this Pacific island hotspot. Thank you for masterfully and hospitably wrapping a week's worth of adventure, wonder, learning, and laughter into one of the best days I've experienced in all my fifty years on this planet! Mahalo and Aloha, Dexter - you're the best!!!

    My wife and I recently booked a Pearl Harbor tour with Polynesian Adventure Tours, and while there…read morewere definitely some positives, the overall experience left us feeling rushed and wanting more--especially given the cost. The Highlight -- Leo the Tour Guide The best part of the entire day was our driver and guide, Leo. He was kind, informative, and thoughtful from start to finish. You could tell he genuinely cared about the guests and took pride in sharing the history and making the ride enjoyable. He truly set the tone in a positive way, and he deserves recognition for that. The Biggest Issue -- Time (or lack of it) The main problem with this tour is simple: everything felt rushed. We arrived at Pearl Harbor National Memorial around 8:25 AM and immediately started moving. By 8:27, we were already trying to quickly go through the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park. We barely had time to walk the submarine itself and didn't have any time to explore the museum building before needing to head across the complex for our 9:15 AM call time for the USS Arizona Memorial. Even though we were on time, we were initially placed on standby. After realizing we might miss our 10:40 AM bus return, we had to speak up just to get onto the correct launch. Because of that, we missed the 20-minute documentary that plays before visiting the memorial--which is a pretty important part of the experience. The memorial itself was meaningful, but the visit is only about 15 minutes, which felt surprisingly short given the significance. Ford Island & Missouri -- Not Enough Time Next, we headed to Ford Island, where we had lunch and visited the aviation hangars. These exhibits were good, but again, time was limited. Guided tours weren't clearly explained, and it felt like if you joined one, you'd miss seeing other areas entirely. The biggest disappointment for me was the USS Missouri. This was the main attraction I had been looking forward to my entire life. I could have easily spent half a day exploring the ship--but instead, we were rushed through it. I didn't get to fully experience the areas I wanted, missed out on exhibits, and didn't even have time to properly explore or enjoy the ship at my own pace. On top of that: We weren't informed ahead of time that the front turrets were under restoration It started pouring rain toward the end of our visit, and we got soaked The rushed schedule meant we didn't even have time to browse shops or grab anything onboard It turned what should have been the highlight of the day into the biggest letdown. Suggested Improvement One major area for improvement: transportation logistics. There were multiple hotel drop-offs at the end of the day, which took about 1 hour and 40 minutes before we even reached our stop. When you factor in pickup time as well, that's easily 2.5-3 hours of the day spent just driving. If the company reduced the number of stops to 2-3 max, they could significantly cut down travel time and give guests more time at the actual sites, which is what everyone is really there for. Final Thoughts This tour has potential, and Leo was outstanding--but the overall structure made the experience feel rushed and, at times, stressful. If you: Want to take your time Are a history buff or military enthusiast Or want to fully experience each site ...I would honestly recommend visiting Pearl Harbor on your own. You'll save money (around $500 for two people in our case) and have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Great guide, but the schedule needs serious improvement. - Dr. Rick

On the drive on the way home she advised a few newbies to the island where some great places to eat were... they greatly appreciated her ideas! She had the most pleasant demeanor.... :) If you want a fun morning walk, call Hike Maui

    I would give 10 stars if I had the choice…read more This was an easy Rainforest walk package with a little adventure of diving and swimming in the water added in, if you wanted to that is - no force. Brian was just soo fun, and soo informative. He balanced all our interests absolutely wonderfully, it was just amazing. The kid was thrilled with the his dino costume (Oh my god! the costume, he wore it on the Entire trip except when jumping off the rocks ofcourse), the adult in the other group with all the geological tectonics knowledge that flowed like an uninterrupted volcano from his mouth...non stop, and me with all the native plant life info. The Hala tree amazed me and so did the big red flower- torch ginger, which actually looks like a vibrant staff fit for a king. I would never have learnt about them in detail if not for this trip. All this besides the actual trip to the waterfalls, the encouragement he gave to the other group was astounding (I don't swim myself unfortunately, or the fun would have tripled for me). He supported, guided, advised, and made them have the time of their life with the diving and the swimming. Three cheers to the B.Rex. Hike Maui site itself had useful info for the walk and I brought the water shoes after reading about it on their site, it really worked great out there. Pick up was right on time and the directions were pretty clear, but u could have mentioned near Kahului Park and Ride, I mistook the 8 min drive for 8 min walk, and walked up from my hotel ! Hike Maui arranged for backpacks and that was very useful too. To just it throw it on our shoulders and walk freely. The little snacks were good after the walk. The best part was the passion fruit which was handed out as a parting gift. It was my first time to eat that fruit too. Note: The waterfalls are accessible privately with rental car too. You could explore the area in your own sweet time. But I did notice there were not many signs with specific directions inside the forest. And no labels on the plants. Most places no mobile signals either. That said, you could do it on your own. I cannot say enough about this trip. It is for all ages and a great little Maui to explore comfortably. PS: Hope Brian wins the Halloween costume contest today ( 31st Oct 2025)

    We took a private tour in Maui from our cruise ship to explore and learn about Haleakalā National…read morePark. We did the Haleakalā Summit and Stroll tour. Our guide was Jasmine, and she picked us up right at the pier with a private van. Our goal was to learn as much as we could about the park. My son wanted to earn his Junior Ranger badge. Jasmine brought the printed booklet for him, and he was able to finish it easily because she explained everything in a very fun and educational way. We hiked through Hosmer Grove, and she showed us local plants and animals. We even saw the ʻIʻiwi bird and the Nēnē (Hawaiian Goose). She told us many interesting things about these beautiful animals. Then we went all the way to the summit. It felt like another world. We learned about the silversword plant, the landscape, and the crater. It was very interesting and educational. This was the best excursion of our whole cruise. We stopped at many viewpoints and enjoyed delicious snacks. Jasmine shared amazing history, geology, and even stories about modern life in Hawaii. She grew up on the island, so she knows everything about the land, culture, and nature. We could not have asked for a better guide. I totally recommend this tour. It is worth every dollar. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. It was the highlight of our cruise.

    Jasmine created an individualized tour for our group of 4 & took us from Paia through Hana & around…read morethe North & East side of Haleakala. Highlights of the tour included: beautiful farmlands and cows, homemade banana bread stands, numerous stories and history of the island and a stop in Hana for delicious lunch. We went into a lava tube, saw a blow hole off of a black sand beach, jumped into a water pool just underneath a waterfall, hiked into a bamboo Forrest, saw the grave of Charles Lindbergh, and many many breathtaking views. I can't say enough about how "once in a lifetime " this tour was! I highly recommend taking the opportunity to explore all that the island has to offer with Holo Holo Maui private tours. Oh, I almost forgot! We were in a great Ford Bronco with convertible top!!
