Review of Maui’s Road to Hana tour with a small group, expert guides, waterfall stops, black sand beach, and farm-to-table pizza lunch.
“We had an amazing experience with Brian. He was very knowledgeable about the island’s history and explained the details of the agriculture surrounding the island. Lunch was incredibly delicious. Brian even made a few stops to greet the farm animals on the way up to Hana. This indeed was a memorable day for my wife and I. We recommend this company to anyone interested in booking a Road to Hana excursion!”
Ride your own ATV along Oahu’s North Shore, meet farm animals, learn Hawaiian history, and plant a native shoreline species.
“It’s NOTHING like described it’s not pretty farm land it’s dirt fields of trash!! It’s over priced it’s advertised as being able to use your own atv which is true but you can’t go over 5 miles an hour and the beautiful beach front doesn’t last more then 100 feet if that it’s a total rip off my family and I are totally disgusted with how much we paid to tour around fields full of literal GARBAGE 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND don’t waste your money!!”
Tour Kona’s oceanfront salt farm, learn Hawaiian salt traditions, see the harvest process, and taste a range of hand-harvested salts.
“It’s very interesting to hear how they harvest the sea salt from the Pacific Ocean. It is in a beautiful setting and the guide is very knowledgeable.. It is 100% KONA sea salt. We additionally took on the deep ocean foot soak, which was extremely cold, but refreshing and exhilarating. The deep seawater is filled with many minerals that we don’t normally get particularly magnesium.”

Tour a Kona farm for ocean views, coffee and chocolate tastings, soap making, biodiversity lessons, and distinctive island gifts.
“A fun and informative tour of a working cocoa, coffee, and fruit farm -- along with their wonderful soap making. Greg was as wonderful presenter infusing humor, personal stories, and insight to sustainable farming practices in Hawaii. You can easily tell that he is passionate about his work, his colleagues, and having fun. Tasting the delicious, high quality coffee and chocolate was a highlight. We first became aware of his business when we purchased his quality and natural soaps. Learning about the soap making process and seeing their workshop was inspiring. Highly recommend taking the tour, trying the products (coffee, chocolate, soap, ceramics, and island/farm souvenirs).”
