Pu did an excellent job. Her personal experiences in the area added a nice flavor to the narration. Her articulate description of the flora, history and culture, is reason to recommend her to future travelers to Hana. Thank you for the nice trip.

We loved this!

Joe, our guide, was amazing in his wisdom, humor, knowledge, and driving skills. We had 'done' this drive before on our own, and this was a much richer learning experience than we had imagined, plus it was good for our marriage! (driving this road wasn't!). A true highlight of our visit to Maui. Thank you so much.

More than just survive the Road to Hana

We are locals, living on Maui. We decided to take our friends who were honeymooning here, in Maui, on Valley Isle Excursion's Road to Hana Tour as part of our wedding gift to them. All I can say is... Wow! Not only did this tour meet my expectations, but surpassed them by far.
David, our guide, was probably the most well informed, ...

taking a tour verses driving yourself
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/08
i am a pro photographer who shoots travel stock. i've been going to maui for years to photograph the road to hana as it is one of the top 5 scenic drives in the world. i rented a convertible for the view and the ability to shoot from the vehicle as many of the most scenic parts of the road have no places to pull over, in fact thats usually ...
Our driver made us feel safe and comfortable as we headed around the twists and turns of the road to Hana. I normally get car sick if I am not driving on a road like that. I felt fine, really. The education in Maui history and culture while on the road to Hana will be things I will remember for a lifetime. I may have to take the tour again because there was so much to see and experience. The food was excellent by the way!

Not recommended!

Road to Hana.This is described as a luxury tour do not believe it. Breakfast at a shopping mall lunch very basic.'Luxury' coach was very shabby and old, driver not at all professional he was scruffy and his knowledge of island was limited to trees, waterfalls and toilet stops! definately not a trip for kids.Long boring and a waste of money.

Best way to go

My wife and I had driven to Hana before but we never got to see half of what we did with Valley Isle Excursions. They picked us up early and we chose the passenger side window seats so we could both take pictures. The bus has 12 wide reclining seats, 3 pairs, 4 across in the back and our 2 individual window seats. Much better than the narrow ...

What a Tour, our Guide David was the best, even the other Guides were tops, we got to meet them all at breakfast, what a company. The is a must do, don't waste your time driving, you will all the fun, food and best of all the history and culture of Maui. The seats are grat and boy you can see out the windows, over all the foolish rent a cars. ...
My brother got married in Maui. So I decided to go for what they say is a Luxury tour. Our private party of 12 booked a whole bus. Our driver was called Pauline. A true Maui.
Good: - The road to Hana is worth going regardless with what company. Good scenary and its a day out to the other side of the island.
The sceney was amazing, and our tour guide, Andy, a Vermont native and long-time Maui resident, was knowledgeable and quite entertaining. We booked the tour through Roberts Hawaii, having used them last year for a tour of the Big Island. We got off to a bit of a shaky start when our airport transport dropped us off at a strip mall. We were ...
