My twin sister and I did the Road to Hana tour on 10/26.  Lisa was our tour guide for the trip.  Lisa was FANTASTIC - very knowledgeable, friendly, funny, personable and thoughtful of the needs of the passengers.  She treated us to samples of different things and even texted us a few pictures of our trip.  The only complaint we had (which was not Lisa's fault) was we had to sit in the back of the van truck with two other adults on seats that were for kids which were very uncomfotable as the larger van tour bus was not available as shown in my confirmation.  Would recommend that there be two less passengers so guests are comfortable for the tour.

Derrick is a super knowledgable tour guide.   I was fascinated by all he had to say re the rain forest’s trees, water, flowers, etc.   Derrick is patient, funny, and a wonderful driver as well.   I would certainly use him again if I return to Maui.

Great Da Tour!
Great tour experience. The length was about 10 hours. Mild walking. Bus was clean, comfortable, with good air conditioning. Great driver—guide. Some people were allowed to swim in the beach for maybe 45 min, while the rest were drop off in near shopping stores, Nothing really negative to write.

Derek from the very beginning made us feel like Ohana and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. He was truly the most phenomenal tour guide for our Road to Hana trip. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and the history and stories he shared brought the island to life in such a meaningful way. He acknowledged he forgot to pick up our lunch. Being his Ohana for the day he brought us the best local lunch, it was delicious.
The drive itself can be intense, but Derek handled it with total confidence and expert skill (he used to train CDL drivers), which made us feel completely comfortable and able to relax and enjoy the journey.
I also happened to be celebrating my birthday and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect way to spend it. The entire day felt special from start to finish.
Honestly, it went by way too fast—we loved every single moment and didn’t want it to end. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate. Derek will make it an experience you’ll never forget.

Although Pearl Harbor is a very sad time and place, the Military, and Hawaiian families have made this Memorial so beautiful and so thoughtful for the lost souls. RIP USS Arizona Our tour driver “Brian” very thoughtful to all of his guest. He goes above and beyond to make sure that you have the real Hawaiian experience. He's very passionate about his Hawaiian Roots. I will definitely book any tour with this guy, Brian. Mahalo

This was such a great experience, and Lisa was an awesome tour guide. I am a solo traveler, and was not trying to brave that drive myself. I was able to enjoy the ride and take in everything, snap my pictures, as well as enjoy all the history and knowledge that Lisa had to share along the way. She really does her best to make the most of the trip for everyone, one of my favorite things we did was stop at a locals fruit stand where he gave us samples of some of the freshest fruit I have ever tasted or tried, and know I’ll never get anything close to that back home. Mahalo again Lisa for such an amazing experience and for taking the wheel girl!!

Had such a good trip with Lisa and the wider group on our Road to Hana tour. Lisa was so fun and enthusiastic the entire day, despite it being a 12 hour day out!! We got to see black sand beaches, lots and lots of turtles, waterfalls and stopped at a lovely/generous fruit stand. The whole group helped to make our honeymoon feel very special 😊

Papa p made it Fantastic
Our guide, Papa P, was absolutely fantastic and made the atmosphere welcoming and encompassed our small group as his “Ohana” . He took us to so many great places and made sure that we saw the best parts of it all despite time restrictions or crowd size. The only downside was not being able to go to Dole due to Dole “closing early for inventory”, and they did not inform the tour company. Thank you!

Amazing experience!!!
Papa P was absolutely amazing and made the entire tour such a great experience! He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing so much interesting information throughout the entire trip. You could tell he really knew what he was talking about and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great time. He was also so kind and thoughtful, providing candies and drinks for everyone, which was such a nice touch! He did an excellent job keeping us on schedule, and because we were on time, he even managed to fit in two extra stops. He also knew exactly what was worth spending time at and what we could skip, which made the whole day run smoothly and allowed us to get the most out of the experience. You can tell he has a lot of experience and knows how to make the tour enjoyable from start to finish. If you get the chance to tour with Papa P, you absolutely should! He truly went above and beyond, and I couldn't recommend him more.

Memorable experience and wonderful guide
Our trip to the memorial was an experience I will never forget. The history shared and the respect for those who lost their lives serving when the attack at Pearl Harbor took place was amazing to encounter. The USS Missouri, the Aviation Museum as well as the tour of the city at the end were phenomenal as well. Our guide for the day (WILL) was amazing and he made the trip exceptional! Can’t say enough great things about him! Personable, knowledgeable, kind, caring and funny! Wish we had another trip to book with him as our driver/guide. He even took a pic with us! Thanks Will!

We had the most fabulous tour with Kevin from Colorado on the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Experience on the Big Island!  Kevin was super fun, knowledgeable, warm, welcoming and personable.  He provided wonderful insights into the island, what we were seeing and gave us the local insiders tour.  He went above and beyond suggesting additional local attractions and restaurants. We loved his humor and pro tips.  Kevin was also very accommodating with older passengers with his genuine care and positivity.  20 out of 10 for Kevin -  he is the best!!

Full Day Bus Trip around Oahu
First off, our Tour guide Will was terrific! Very personable, knowledgeable and fun! There were alot of stops, (often connected with food) as well as beautiful scenery both on a drive by and various stops. It is a great way to see an overview of Oahu. Pick up at our hotel was seamless. Would recommend if you are interested in a full day tour and have a short time in Honolulu to see as much as you can.

NOT TOURISTY!!!
Wonderful tour of Pearl Harbor National Park: the USS Arizona Memorial, Bowfin Sub, USS Missouri, Aviation Museum, USS Oklahoma Memorial, Historical exhibits and Museums on grounds of the National Park. Pick up was convenient right at our hotel with plenty of communication beforehand. The van basically drops you off at the National Park with your timed tickets for all the activities/exhibits and you can explore at your own pace, spending more or less time at various sites, depending on your interests. Pick up time and place following day at Pearl Harbor was seamless followed by a drive thru tour of Honolulu, some historic sites and the National Cemetery of the Pacific. Our guide Darcy was interesting and very proud of his Hawaiian heritage. For a full Pearl Harbor Tour, highly recommend.

The scenery was breathtaking, the tour was good and a great experience. However, the tour ended after 8 hours, not the advertised 11. At some sights, we only stopped briefly for photos, which was a real shame. The lunch break at the black sand beach could easily have been extended to 90 minutes. The guide was good and very knowledgeable, but I got the impression he wanted to end the tour early... I can't say who it was, though, as he didn't introduce himself. Therefore, only 4 stars.

The rainforest and the Road to Hana are truly impressive. Unfortunately, it rained, and there were hardly any stops except at the aforementioned highlights. So, you can only really experience the road and the wilderness firsthand. The highlights themselves, however, were all very worthwhile (black lava beach with a small lava tube, swimming in the waterfall's pool, other viewpoints overlooking the rainforest and coast). Driving yourself wasn't an option, so I highly recommend it.

Beautiful stops all day long. I highly recommend this trip. One caveat: the pick up organization was really bad. I had to wait almost an hour - and everybody else, too. I had gotten 3 emails with 6 am, one email saying 6.15 am and I got picked up at 6.50 am

Our experience with this excursion to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was nothing short of incredible and easily one of the most memorable parts of our trip. 

From start to finish, coordination by Aloha Sunshine Tours was seamless. They handled booking all four flights for us (two per person), which made what could have been a complicated itinerary feel effortless. We opted to “splurge” on this excursion—approximately $1,200 total including flights—and it was absolutely worth it.

The day began very early with a flight from Maui to Honolulu, followed by a second flight to Kona. Upon arrival, we were promptly picked up by our guide, Jim C, whose energy and storytelling truly defined the experience. Traveling with a small group of 11 guests in an air-conditioned van, the entire 11-hour day felt engaging and well-paced thanks to his enthusiasm and knowledge.

Our first stop was Greenwell Farms for coffee, followed by Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, where we were fortunate enough to see several green sea turtles basking in the sun. We then stopped at Punaluʻu Bake Shop, where we enjoyed delicious malasadas and picked up sandwiches to bring along for a picnic later in the day.

The highlight, of course, was exploring Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park itself. We visited multiple gift shops, hiked approximately one mile along a volcanic crater, and even had the chance to view the bubbling lava of Kīlauea through Jim’s personal telescope—an unforgettable moment. We also walked through a massive lava tube, adding to the sense of adventure and scale of the landscape.

Additional stops included sightseeing in Hilo, with visits to Big Island Candies and Rainbow Falls, both of which were great additions to an already full itinerary.

The tour concluded with drop-off at the airport for our return flights (Hilo to Honolulu, then Honolulu to Maui), wrapping up what was the longest excursion we’ve ever done—but also one of the most rewarding.

10/10 – Private Road to Hana Rainforest and Waterfall Experience Departing from Maui ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ask for Jason! 

This private Road to Hana Rainforest and Waterfall Experience was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. The views were absolutely incredible—lush rainforest, dramatic coastline, and waterfalls around nearly every corner. It’s hard to put into words just how beautiful the drive is, and having the freedom to stop and take it all in made the experience even better.

What truly made the tour exceptional was our guide Jason. He was born and raised on Maui, and his local knowledge and personal stories brought the entire journey to life. He knew all the best spots, shared fascinating history about the island, and made sure we experienced places we never would have found on our own.

The private format made the day relaxed and personal, and we never felt rushed. If you’re visiting Maui and want to experience the Road to Hana the right way—with incredible scenery and authentic local insight—this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend. 5 stars. 10/10 experience. Don’t hesitate to book and ASK FOR JASON!

From start to finish, Jason Frias made our Road to Hana adventure truly special. His deep love for his island shines through every story, legend, and fun fact he shares. Along the way, he introduced us to native plants and wildlife, explained local customs, and even treated us to mouthwatering island delicacies.
Not only is Jason incredibly knowledgeable, but he’s also funny, engaging, and a natural entertainer. Kind, respectful, and always ready to help – he’s the kind of guide who turns a great tour into an unforgettable experience.
If you’re lucky enough to get Jason as your guide, you’re in for the best day in Hawaii!

We did the Volcano tour with Mel. Couldn’t have had a more enjoyable experience. The tour was head and shoulders above other volcano tours I had taken previously.

Aloha Sunshine Tours Big Island Volcanoes tour with Mel our personal tour guide. From day one booking, customer service was awesome!!! Booked all our flights from Oahu to the Big Island and our helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tours. Right off the flight Mel was ready to go. Following our air tour of Volcano National Park. Mel did an incredible job covering Hawaiian history, culture and science of the islands. We could not have asked for a better guide. Personable, knowledgeable and passionate. Highly recommended this tour and suggest you ask for Mel.

The experience was well worth it and both my girlfriend and I had a great time. With all the sights we saw alone, being from Australia, we were more than satisfied with the tour of Hawaii. Add that to the incredible service and commentary from our guide, Papa P, it was an adventure of a life time. Massive thanks to him for making today so fun, and a big shoutout to his awesome guitar and singing skills and his complementary chips. Aloha!

We took the volcanoes National park tour from Kauai. We had a great time in our bus and touring  with an exceptional guide and driver.
Ask for Mel if you want a true vision of all the islands. This native Hawaiian man gave us an in-depth understanding about the history of Hawaiian culture, and offered a glimpse of what the future may hold. We toured on March 2, 2023.
All facets of this tour were clean,detailed, and polite and courteous.

I recommend Mel and Aloha Sunshine tours!!!
