hawaiian style tours

Aloha and E Komo Mai (Welcome) to our little piece of paradise!

Aloha means many things in the Hawaiian language: Hello, good-bye, farewell, affection, love, kindness, and compassion.

In Hawai’i, we take the Aloha spirit to heart and try to live Aloha each day.

When you tour with us you are our Ohana, which means family. Feel our Ho’okipa (hospitality) and Aloha!

Break away from the crowds! We limit our tours to 8 passengers maximum on our exclusive air-conditioned mini-coaches. This enables a personalized tour experience.

Enjoy a relaxing, unhurried Hawaiian-style adventure while listening to the expert narration of our knowledgeable and fun local tour guides.

So let us show you the beauty of our island, the wealth of our culture, and the warmth of our Aloha.

A is for AKAHAI, meaning kindness, to be expressed with a feeling of tenderness. L is for LÔKAHI, meaning unity, to be expressed with a feeling of harmony. O is for `OLU`OLU, meaning agreeable, to be expressed with a feeling of pleasantness. H stands for HA`AHA`A, meaning humility, to be expressed with a feeling of modesty. A stands for AHONUI, meaning patient, to be applied with perseverance.

REGENERATIVE TOURISM FOR HĀNA

We had the opportunity to speak with Kainoa Carlson with @hinowdaily back in February where we delved into the significance of embracing a responsible mindset when traveling. It is crucial for visitors to prioritize leaving their destination in a better condition than they found it and to seek immersive experiences that go beyond the typical Maui vacation.

One prime example of promoting sustainable and regenerative tourism on Maui is through legally guided tours on the road to Hana. These tours play a vital role in fostering a mindset of environmental responsibility and contribute to the preservation and enhancement of the local ecosystem. Every year, thousands of travelers embark on the breathtaking journey along the road to Hana, often utilizing their own private vehicles. We strongly encourage considering the option of taking a guided tour, as it serves as an effective means to minimize the impact of visitors on the road to Hana and the Hana community. By doing so, visitors actively contribute to the preservation of this remarkable route and the overall well-being of the local community.

"Emma was so great! We normally like to just do our own thing on vacation and this was our first time scheduling a guided tour. We weren't sure what to expect but this was the BEST part of our trip so far! Driving the Road to Hana on our own, we would have missed so much of the history and stories she told us which was the best part. Emma grew up there, knew literally everyone we passed (most were family) she was like a Hana celebrity 😂 We loved it.. Never seen anywhere like Hana, it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend!"

Description

Tour the Road to Hana in comfort and style with Hawaiian Style Tours, owned and operated by a local Hawaiian family. They extend first class hospitality and a level of service that is a step up from "regular" Hana tours! They offer luxury vehicles with air conditioning, leather seats, 3 point safety seat belts, and USB charging stations. They serve a light tropical breakfast of mango bread and pineapple skewers, and a catered hot lunch enjoyed at a flower farm. All-day beverages include iced coffee, bottled water and fruit juice. Each guest gets one of their souvenir HAwaiian-style logo backpacks with personal amenities. They even provide fresh towels for drying off at the swimming holes, and of course your day will be made special by a knowledgable local guide who will share the history and stories of this rainforest, and look after your safety during the day of adventure and sightseeing.

Hawaiian Style offers shared tours priced per person with a maximum capacity of 12 guests ... as well as private charters which are priced "per vehicle". If you would like to arrange a private charter in their 12 passenger coach it MUST be reserved a MONTH or more in advance! If they have already accepted bookings on a shared trip for your date, it wouldn't be available for a private charter.

Hana Tropical Rainforest is operated as a shared charter and is priced per person. This 10-12 hour excurions includes hotel pickup and as locals and native Hawaiians, your guide knows that there is more about this curvy road than its lush tropical beauty and they want you to learn about the history, the stories, and tales of this tropical rainforest that was once traveled by their ancestors. This tour completely circles the Hana side of the island and operates in the "opposite" direction from most other tour companies to help maximize the day. Offered Mondaythrough Friday. Minimum age on shared charters is 3.

Hana Tropical Rainforest Tour Rate (HSTT1)

$299.99 per Participant   (plus 4.712% Hawaii sales tax)

Private Charter in Cadillac Escalade is priced for the vehicle for the day for a 10-12 hour Hana Tropical Rainforest Tour. The vehicle capacity is 4 adults, or 4-5 depeding on size of guests. Available Monday through Saturday but must be reserved weeks in advance.

Private Hana Tour in Cadallac Escalade Rate (HSTT3)

$2,199.99 per Vehicle   (plus 4.712% Hawaii sales tax)

Private Charter in 12 Passenger Coach is priced for the vehicle for the day for a 10-12 hour Hana Tropical Rainforest Tour. Available Monday through Saturday but must be reserved weeks in advance. If there are already seats sold on a shared trip, the date won't be avaialble for a private charter.

Private Hana Tour in 12 Passenger Coach Rate (HSTT4)

$3,199.99 per Vehicle   (plus 4.712% Hawaii sales tax)

Pick Up: Offered at most Maui resorts.

Included in Tour: Light tropical breafast, hot catered lunch, all-day beverages, Hawaiian Style logo backpack with personal amenities, local guide.

What to Wear: Casual, comfortable attire. Bring bathing suit if you would like to swim in a waterfall. Towels are provided.

Reservations: Advanced reservations required. This event is "RESERVE NOW PAY LATER"; we need a credit card on file to finalize your reservation but we do not charge you for this reservation until a few days before the beginning of your vacation!

Minimum Notice for Cancellations / Changes: At least 48 hours before the start of the event. All tours go out rain or shine.

All companies that run Hana tours are going to include a knowledgable guide who is trained in the history of the area. The difference with Hawaiian Style tours is that this company is owned by Doug Chong, who grew up in the little Hawaiian village of Ke-anae (about halfway to Hana). His family still has roots there and they operate the fruit stand with the famous banana bread. When Doug is driving and he points at something, he isn't telling you things he learned, he is remembering things that he experienced. This unique local perspective will make all the difference in a tour of the Road to Hana.

The shared Hana Rainforest Tour goes all the way around the Haleakala side of the island; many tour companies have stopped doing that. One aspect of their itinerary that I think is a particularly smart idea is they do the tour in the opposite direction from most other companies. They start the day on the remote "back side" passing through the lava fields of Kanaio and the ranches of Kaupo, arriving in the Kipahulu district before any of the other tour vehicles have arrived there! It's nice to have this part of the tour all to yourself! They are going to pass most of the traffic coming the other way in the "downtown" Hana area, then they do the north shore rainforest stops in the afternoon. This approach means you spend less time in traffic, which can really pile up on the way to Hana in the early and mid-morning hours!

Their tours are a LITTLE more expensive than some other Road to Hana tours, but not MUCH more considering the added features and nice touches they provide. If there are four in your party, you might consider doing a private charter in their Cadillac Escalade for an ultra-exclusive private tour, and if there are 10-12 in your party, a Private Charter in their 12 passenger coach is about the same price per person as doing one of their shared tours!

Road to Hana Tour "Hawaiian Style"

MAUI ACTIVITIES -  Break away from the crowds and experience  the road to Hana, a gorgeous, winding coastal road with breathtaking valleys, lush rain forests and spectacular waterfalls aboard Mahalo Tours luxurious Mercedes Benz or Ford Vans, which features a small group, with a maximum of eight lucky participants. You will enjoy an unhurried Hawaiian adventure guided by an authentic Hawaiian host.

Mahalo Tours is owned and operated by a Hawaiian family who cherishes the opportunity to show you their home, and wants to make sure every guest will not only get the opportunity to learn about Hawaii and enjoy its beauty, but will also fall in love with its culture and history. You will be taken on this unforgettable journey by a true Hawaiian host, who is also an entertainer, and who can't wait to show you the beauty and warmth of the Hawaiian hospitality and give you some laughs while at it!

Your day will start with a pick up at your hotel, condo or cruise ship. You'll board a luxury Mercedes Benz Van, where you'll ride in comfort and style, with a much smaller group than most other Hana tours out there. You'll be offered some Hawaiian treats to sweeten your ride, make several stops and see some of the most beautiful spots on Maui while learning its history, legends and more! This is the only small group tour that will take you around the entire East/South side of Maui taking only up to 8 passengers.

Be careful not to fill up on every delicious Hawaiian bread, cake and fruit offered to you on your way, as a delicious hot lunch will be served in Hana. Your meal will be prepared, while you wait, by a local Hana resident and world renowned Tahitian chef, who has prepared his signature dishes for several celebrities and dignitaries through the years. You'll get to choose from several dish selections available daily, such as ribs, chicken, steak, fresh island fish, shrimp pasta, vegetarian and vegan, so don't you worry... you won't go hungry!!!

As you continue through Maui's North Shore, you'll get to the world famous Ho`okipa Beach Park., a breath-taking white sand beach which boasts perfect wind-surfing conditions.On your drive by through Huelo, you will be entranced with its history, adorned with vistas of bamboo, remarkable cliffs, and exceptional ocean views that certainly qualify as breathtaking!

Half way to Hana is the small community of Keanae, where you'll get to step into the past. Located on an peninsula which is an old lava flow, it is graced by the Keanae Congregational Church, built in 1860 of lava rocks and coral mortar. There you'll get another opportunity to entice your taste buds as you feast on the best banana bread in the Hawaiian islands and possibly catch a view of the honu, Hawaiian sea turtles.

On your next stop, you'll get a “bird’s eye” view at the Keanae lookout that will take your breath away, with its panoramic views of the Keanae peninsula and its taro fields.

And just as you thought you could not get any more awed by the beauty of your adventure, you'll arrive at Honokalani Beach, a gorgeous black sand beach at Waianapanapa State Park. This magnificent beach is set among lava cliffs and the sand is actually small, smooth, lava pebbles. A small sea arch, sea caves, and seaside lava tubes are located right on the beach. An ancient Hawaiian footpath leads to the beach area which appears like a vivid dream, with bright green jungle foliage on three sides and cobalt blue water lapping at its feet. It's just Spectacular! Your next stops: The famous Hana Town! Hamoa Beach, a long strand of soft grey sand tucked between lava rock outcroppings, in the shape of a half-moon; Koki Beach overlook, where you will see a red hill (which is actually an eroding cinder cone) known as Ka Iwi o Pele, meaning "the bones of Pele". At the base of the cone is the only red sand beach in all of Hawaii. From this vantage point, you can also get an excellent view directly offshore of `Alau Island, a seabird sanctuary with a 150-foot summit, topped by swaying coconut palms.

You'll be going by O`heo Gulch, AKA “The Seven Sacred Pools”, located in the Kipahulu area of Haleakala National Park, stop at Charles A. Lindbergh's grave and Kipahulu Church. Kaupo district, and its rugged coastline, desert-like landscape, and unpaved roads where you will think you are in the latest Indiana Jones adventure!

Lastly, stop at Maui's only winery, Tedeschi Vineyards, to learn about the different wines and indulge in some of their unique wine flavors in the tasting room. There, you'll get the chance to cross the street to visit and shop at the Ulupalakua Ranch Store and explore the old days of the Paniolo (Hawaiian Cowboy).

IMPORTANT: This vendor has a strict 72-hour cancellation policy. Cancellations must be received 3 days prior to tour. NO EXCEPTIONS!

  Due to road closure, until further notice, this tour will not be doing the full loop around the back side of Hana or make a stop at Tedeschi Winery. It will instead go as far as Lindbergh's grave and return on the same side. NO CREDITS will be issued due to these changes. *All stops are time and weather permitting. * This tour CANNOT accommodate persons with wheelchairs or walkers ** Pick up time shown is approximate. Exact pick up time/location will be shown on your voucher. *** Those with special food allergies should add notes to comment box at check-out so vendor can be prepared to accommodate your needs.

David our driver was awesome. He did a excellent job. The lunch was incredible. My wife raved about how good it was. This was our honeymoon and thanks to Mahalo tours we had a great time. Again I personally want to thank David for his professional way he conducted the lovely day on beautiful Maui. I have told many of my friends about your tour and the fun we had.

Reviewed by: Bruce Bingham , Ogden, United States, August 2014

Mahalo Tour's Road to Hana tour is definitely the way to travel the road to (and from) Hana. Our Tour Guide, Josh, was amazing! He is incredibly personable, funny, and attentive. He really loves Maui, and it definitely shows. The tour started by being picked up at my condo complex, and then continued for almost 12 hours of great scenery, excellent (LOCAL) foods and fruits, quite a bit of learning, and a lot of humor. Josh worked hard to make our day extra-special. He was constantly providing us samples of local fruits (pineapple, papaya, strawberries). He would go above and beyond to help us experience the real Maui. For example, he would ask if anyone has tasted apple bananas... answer was no... so he pulls off at a roadside stand and comes back with these amazing bananas. Then he asks if anyone has had guava... again answer no... next thing we know we have stopped and he is out picking guava off a tree for us to try. This happened with several different fruits. It really was amazing. He knows so much about the island and culture and enjoys sharing his knowledge. He was patient with all of our restroom and picture stops - and he is a great photographer too! I could go on and on about this tour, but you have to experience it yourself. The small group (we had 7), comfortable vans, tasty food, excellent tour guide/driver really made it a spectacular trip. It truly was one of the best tours I have ever done. I also want to thank Kawai for his shuttle service back to my condo. He is truly amazing as well. In the short trip back, I learned all about the different music of Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, etc. Then to top it off, he gives me the CD so I can continue to listen to the music. He completely embodies the Aloha spirit. All in all, I can't say enough about Josh, Kawai, and Mahalo tours. Mahalo and Aloha!

Just PERFECT!!! My boyfriend and I had lots of fun during the tour to Hana. It was really good from the Hotel pick-up to drop-off. Our tour guide was cousin K. We got to see many nice places and we also realized that other tours companies do not show to their guests what cousin K showed us. It was not only about beautiful places to take pictures of, but also a fun trip, entertaining, and interesting (they are real Hawaiians and they know what they are saying). I cannot finish this review without mentioning cousin Kawai who did the shuttle for us and was very nice to take us to see some other places on the island even though he did not have to...ah...almost forgot to say that the lunch we had during this tour to Hana was the best bbq chicken I have ever had in my life :)

The Road to Hana tour is a NECESSITY to fully experience some of the very best of Maui's charms! It is a great way to see the parameter of the island. We opted for the approximate 11 hour long tour (continuing on the non-paved road, including the arid side of the island, past the winery.) Being a thrill-seeker, I always want to experience it ALL. In retrospect, turning around at Charles Lindberg's grave would have been just fine. We VERY much enjoyed the wet / tropical side of the island with the beautiful plants, flowers, beaches, & waterfalls. Bring your camera, good walking shoes, & water. Beach wear for some would be also be appropriate. Do yourself a big favor -- book a tour with Mahalo Tours & leave the driving / responsibility to them -- this way, you can just ENJOY. Mahalo Tours uses smaller buses, so the approach is more personal & enjoyable. In addition, all food / snacks they serve you are specialties from Maui. My mother has an extreme food allergy, which Mahalo Tours readily accomodated. Kawai was AWESOME! He was instrumental in helping us plan a good bit of our first visit to Maui. His patience with a vast amount of questions, as well as his knowledge was so very much appreciated. We found the lovely Aloha Spirit all over the four islands we visited, but NO ONE was more personable or accomodating than Kawai. He truly went the extra mile for us in various ways. We appreciate him, & hope to enjoy him as our driver next time we visit.

We just returned from a Mahalo Tour to Hana. At first we thought we could simply drive it ourselves but decided to do something unusual for us and try a tour. Not liking "tours" very much this was a big decision for us and as it turned out, a very good one. We arranged a day tour with Mahalo Tours and we couldn't have made a better choice. Our driver, Nate, was personable, entertaining and knowledgeable but even more than that, his first concern was the safety and comfort of his passengers. And we always felt safe and comfortable in his capable hands. The van we traveled in was very comfortable and roomy. We were treated to juices, water, fruit, muffins and the most delicious dinner (have the chicken) at a rustic roadside food stand. It may have helped that we shared the van with delightful fellow travelers but the experience was significantly better than if we had been behind the wheel on the twisty squiggly roads with all the traffic, suffering the stress of passing on single lane roads and being too busy watching who's coming around the hairpin turns to enjoy the beauty that is everywhere on the road to Hana and beyond. The road to Hana is everything it's advertised to be but, in my opinion, as you pass Hana and come through Hamoa, Kipahulu, Kaupo and Ulupakakua on the way home the views only get better and better as the road gets worse and worse. I am a very nervous passenger (just ask my poor husband) but there wasn't one moment of concern even when we were looking straight down the side of the van into the crashing surf. Nate was extremely careful and considerate at all times. We would highly recommend Mahalo Tours and if you get lucky enough to have Nate as your driver, ask him for his recipes. He is a wealth of island legend and lore as well as how to make a good baked salmon. Mahalo Mahalo Tours and Nate! Anita and Peter Welker, Ontario Canada.

Everett was excellent!! A local, born and raised in Maui, his knowledge of the history and culture was wonderful. The “reverse loop” of the tour was exciting and so much more informative than just doing the Road to Hana and back. A truly remarkable day and money well spent. Highly recommended.

• Michelle H 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Backwards is the Way to Go My family and I have driven the road to Hana many times. (Well my hubby drives it and we all get to admire everything!) But this time it was just me and my best friend who had never been to Maui. Because I was afraid to drive it, we went with this company and I’m so glad we did! Everett made the day! He was so knowledgeable, so patient and so kind. It was great going backwards because you miss all the traffic. There were 9 of us total and my friend gets very car sick. But she took Dramamine before the trip, rode in the first bench in the back of the van in the middle seat so she could see straight out. She did great! Mahalo to Everett for a great day!

• spkml 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles An amazing experience on the Road to Hana We were debating on driving the road, or being driven. We defiantly made the right choice. Not only did our experienced driver handle that road with ease, we went up the back way. So we literally started off going in the direction that is closed to most. We saw more and did more than would have been possible if we drove. We also were going in opposite direct of traffic all day. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable about Maui History, and the road. He talked the entire trip about the History of Maui. They brought us lunch, snacks, water it was a great experience! Read more Written January 9, 2024

I was a bit worried about getting car sick with all of the turns, but he was such a skilled and safe driver. They also provide you with a goodie bag filled with tissue and hand sanitizer (for the bathrooms along the way), ginger and peppermint drops for your tummy, and a citronella bug bracelet. I also used motion sickness bands. That may have helped as well. We made several stops along the way and learned so much about the island and culture from Everett. They gave us a light breakfast before departure and we had a relaxing lunch in a quaint location. They also had cold drinks we could access all day. They also had beach towels and paper towels. They truly thought of everything! The van itself was very comfortable. Everett was gracious and kind. I had asked about a certain plant I wanted to see that I remembered from my childhood. He made sure to point it out to me. Take this tour if you want to take The Road to Hana. You won't be disappointed! Read more Written August 8, 2023

Stuff I learned on the tour with Janelle came up later in my trip and I felt knowledgeable from the tour. Not to mention the beautiful sites!! If you’re considering traveling through Road to Hana I definitely recommend a tour and I recommend this tour! The owner of the company is multi generation Hawaiian and has several personal touches that sets the tour apart from others. There is also breakfast snacks & lunch provided and you stop at the best spots- some of the popular ones and some hidden gems. Book with Hawaiian style for the best part of your trip to Maui!

While a nice trip, we were shown only 60 percent of the island( they said the back road is stuck with a landslide). But the ticket price was not reduced proportionately. A lot of time was wasted.

• gwens969 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Mahalo Everett We were very happy with our Luxury Full Circle Hana tour. Our van had a total of 9 passengers. We didn’t feel cramped at all. Our driver Everett had everything we could possibly need, dramamine, umbrellas, drinks, food, and towels for the black sand beach. He was very knowledgeable about the island and pointed out so many different trees, plants etc…and was nice enough to stop long enough for us to snap a quick picture. I had read a review that lunch was small and not very good…WRONG. Our lunch was very good and the portion was plenty…not sure what portion size that other reviewer needed…but we were stuffed! This tour would NOT be appropriate for children. It would be too long of a day in a van, your fellow van riders would probably not be super thrilled. Car sickness and boredom is what children would experience. The views are spectacular and the trip to the black sand beach was beautiful (only 1 hour) but that is the parks rule. Your driver only has a 1 hour pass for your group. We had ZERO complaints…the group we were with was fun and respectful to be back at the van when asked, we didn’t have to wait for “stragglers” so we stayed on schedule :) great day…mahalo Everett!
