Although I was initially ambivalent about spending money for that tour
(since we already have a rental car), after taking the tour today, it was
worth every penny. It is hard to overstate how difficult that driving tour
would have been if we had driven it ourselves on the portions of the road
that are rough and/or narrow. Taking the tour with someone else driving, and
having a higher-sitting vehicle to enhance the views, was wonderful. The
guide, Tim, was very knowledgeable, informative, and engaging. The tour
allowed us to see all of the "high points" in that area. The logistics,
including the lunch provided, were very well done. So, in summary, I would
certainly strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see that part
of the island. Reviewed by: E. C., January 2010
At first I thought I would rent a car and do the road to Hana on my own, but
I am really glad I went with a tour instead. It was nice to sit back and
enjoy the view and not worry about driving and the curvy roads. Very nice
views and some nice stops along the way. The guide was very knowledgeable
and friendly. I would not recommend this tour for anyone who is very prone
to motion sickness. Reviewed by: R. T., USA, August 2010
Barbara, our guide, was very knowledgeable and provided us with great island information all throughout our tour. It was GREAT having her drive so we could watch the scenery and not have to worry about the one lane bridges, narrow roads and turns along the back road. Great tour - the absolutely BEST way to see and travel to and from Hana. Reviewed by: L. O., USA, June 2010
This was an excellent tour, our guide Barbara was thorough and entertaining and we saw some amazing sights. If your looking to explore the island and do more than just lie on the beach I recommend this tour but it can be a tough journey. It was a 12 hour trip on a very bumpy narrow road so not for the faint of heart. My only criticism was that the seats on the bus were a bit small and it felt a bit crowded but overall it was definately worth it. Reviewed by: S. C., UK, May 2010
Robert was fantastic, very informative,polite,helpful and entertaining...would recommend it over driving yourself any time. The stretch after the seven pools where rental cars are banned, is a must see! Reviewed by: r. t., USA, April 2010
