Save your money and drive yourself.

elva_C, Aug 2023

I do not recommend this tour. There are cheaper tours to Hana that provide lunch and beverages. First of all the driver was rude. He had some beverages but they were warm,he had no snacks. He times you to see the black sand Beach. You are better off driving yourself.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you very much for taking time to write this review. But unfortunately I wanna let you know our drivers never do that. They all are very well trained and experienced. Everyday we are receiving positive reviews from our travelers. But this review surprised us. Sometime we are experiencing things like this from our competitors. Yeah, you are right. There are cheaper companies out there. But when it comes to us we are a well established company with a great track record. We have proved our service quality. Our future travelers will never misleading by reading reviews like yours. So don't waste your time. Thank you very much. Maui Fantastic Tours. We're the best.

U-turn to Hana

Anita_C, July 2023

Tony was a great driver/host. We had a great group which added to the experience. The only thing we would have liked to see was the general store, red sand beach and a little more of Hana.

Not worth it for 7ppl to see black sand beach

denise_g, July 2023

Black sand beach was a 5, But that's all we saw up close.... Stopped to get lunch and stopped for banana bread. Pass by falls, saw turtles for top of mountain not close. I thought we would have been able to see waterfalls up close. $1170.00 for 7 to see black sand was ridiculous. Driver was nice and played trivia with us but sights were bland wouldn't recommend this tour.

Beautiful views

Katie_G, July 2023

The trip itself was amazing! Just know you aren’t getting cold water, iced coffee or chips. We didn’t bring anything for our 7 and 9 year old (based of what’s included) and the one granola bar didn’t cut it. Other than that the views were breathtaking and the tour guide was great. We enjoyed exploring the black sand beach as a family.

Response from Host, July 2023

I’ll drive next time

Hector_M, July 2023

I would probably save the $1200 I spent and drive my family to the black sand beach by myself. This is basically all we paid for…. A taxi to the black sand beach.

Worth the early start time!

Michelle_T, July 2023

Worth the early start time! Fun day with great stops! So glad I didn’t have to drive the road to Hana. Seeing the black sand beach before the crowds was wonderful. Our guide and driver, James, was fun and interesting. He had a great sense of humor. Good amount of time at each stop with plenty of time to do something in the afternoon. Get there early if you want to sit together. We were on time but the last ones to load and didn’t get to sit together. The good thing was that sitting in the co-pilot’s seat made it easy to see and get great pictures!

Response from Host, July 2023

The black sand beach and seeing the turtles were my favorite part! Got a lil car sick so definitely sit towards the front of the bus if you get car sick. Other than that it was a cool experience!

The Black Sand Beach was...

Katie_M, June 2023

The Black Sand Beach was most memorable. The waters were a bit rough, but great nonetheless. It is a beautiful place. We loved our stop for banana bread and pineapple smoothies. Our tour guide was kind, but a bit dry. It would have been nice if he’d been more upbeat. A six hour tour was needed to experience the places we stopped, due to the distance of the spots, but it was too long of a tour. If going with children, I’d reconsider next time.

Response from Host, June 2023

Candy_H, June 2023

Road to Hana saw a lot of beautiful sights, Oscar got us there and back safely but was hard to understand and didn’t really share anything on drive back. Disappointed in drinks and snacks, was just warm bottles of water and snacks in a carry tote.

Not sure if it’s worth it

Michael_M, June 2023

The ride up in the van is miserable. Very sharp turns and very very long. The Black Sand Beach and surroundings is AMAZING. We were disappointed in the waterfalls. It was a drive by. We only stopped at 1 small waterfall for 10 min. As we drove by many other waterfalls with people swimming and taking pictures under the falls. The turtles were cool but again only 10 min.
