Maui Haleakala Helicopter Tour with Road to Hana Sightseeing & Beachside Lunch

Great day to explore Hawaii!!

Reviewed by: Jessie, 2024/06/04

Sammie was our pilot, and we were fortunate enough that it was just our family on the flight. She made us all feel extremely welcomed and took the time to learn our names, which made our flight that much better. We also all enjoyed the fact that our pilot was an instructor and a female (the world needs more female pilots) With a smaller group it’s easier to be more open and ask more questions about what you’re seeing. No one in our family has ever ridden on a helicopter, but we have all flown and it was awesome!! Planes can only maneuver so much, but helicopters give you a different look and feel of flying. Regardless of where you are sitting you get the opportunity to see all that nature has to offer firsthand. It’s also nice to know that everything was being videoed so you can spend more time looking and less time trying to capture it on your phone. She also was a wealth of knowledge around all things in Hawaii and offered recommendations on additional things for us to see.

Our tour guide was ready and waiting for us at the airport as we landed from the helicopter tour with Sammie. He was extremely welcoming and easily buildings one on one relationships with people. He had a very rich background of experiences which he easily incorporated into all aspects of the tour. From local language, culture, history, nature, driving habits of locals vs. tourists, and stops to get one of a kind eats (shave ice… not shaved ice) we experienced it all. My family was the only group, so we all got to spread out and experience that limo van. We had a beachside lunch overlooking black sand beach and got to experience local foods and stories of the area. We got time to visit the beach and got some great pics within a lava tube. The beach was a little busy, but we still found a spot. He also had a vast knowledge of everything we drove by and experienced. We were also surprised at how smooth the ride was. We had just done the Garden of the Gods a few days before.

Maui Haleakala Helicopter Tour with Road to Hana Sightseeing & Beachside Lunch

Hana and helicopter adventure

Reviewed by: Dave & Yvonne , 2023/10/21

David was our driver for the road to Hana and we can’t say enough good things about him. He was very knowledgeable and really made the experience exceptional! He also took great couple photos and was willing to stop for photos. We did venture into the waterfall and the black sand beach so we would recommend swim wear and towels if you are adventurous. Lunch was very good and the helicopter ride back was the icing on the cake!! Over all would rate the experience 10 out of 10.

Happy about Hana!

Reviewed by: Linda K, 2022/08/28

Overall, the tour was awesome! Eric our tour guide was knowledgeable and interacted with everyone. He definitely knew the history of the island ! Eric also gave us some great tips about the different areas in Maui. We saw such different vegetation on our trip. Our driver stopped at several photo ops.

For our breakfast I would have liked a pastry versus a bread. Maybe something that was made in Hawaii. The sandwich lunch we had was fresh, healthy and delicious. I really enjoyed the stop for coffee and banana bread!!!!

I was expecting a bumpy ride and some nausea but the ride was better than I thought. We stopped enough to get out and stretch. The only thing I was bummed about was not getting to see a turtle close up! My husband thought the tour was over priced Our tour was booked through our travel agent not by us.

The Road To Hana Is Luxurious

Reviewed by: Pat, 2022/08/18

From the moment my husband and I boarded the Limo-van we were impressed. The seats were luxurious and each one had USB charging outlets.

The tour itself matched the high-class method of transport. Our driver, Paul Janes-Brown made sure to give us every opportunity possible to get great photos and gave us great insights into the history of Maui.

Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour!

Reviewed by: Erica, 2022/07/16

The tour is really nice. The tour guide made all the difference. Being a local the way in which he shared the history and the culture island makes the experience all the better. He didn't talk all the time, checked in on the group, and also didn't rush us at certain spots. I am grateful for who we got for the ride. Highly recommend booking this tour. It was a long day, but we were never bored. Wonderful experience!

Beautiful! Waterfalls, incredible coastline views, bamboo forests, complimentary banana bread, local food stands, and much more! But the best was our guide Kea. Impressive knowledge of all the attractions combined with his passionate understanding of Hawaiian history and culture; he was a great guide! We came away with so much more than we had planned on!

Road to Hana Luxury Tour with 2 Swim Stops, Black Sand Beach, Waterfalls & Lunch

Tight squeeze

Reviewed by: Oscareen, 2022/04/07

This trip was nice, not too many vehicles going counter clockwise. We saw such a long line of cars towards the end. Glad we went backwards, and skipped the traffic.
There were some narrow squeezes and even had to back up once. But the views were great (just look quickly!) the rainbow trees are beautiful.
Time constraints didn’t allow us to swim under the waterfall, which I would have liked to do (colder water needed to get used to it and dry off..,)
Hana town looks quaint and cute.
The black sand beach and swimming was great!
