Disappointing Excursion
Very Disappointing Tour Experience Viator must have contracted this tour out to Maui Fantastic, because our experience was extremely disappointing. Our tour guide, Oscar, never introduced himself. The only reason I knew his name was because of a rather nasty email he sent me accusing us of being late. In reality, we were all waiting at the designated pickup area. I honestly don’t believe he was even there when we arrived. He had instructed us to be there at 7:50 a.m., even though our POA cruise ship did not dock until 8:00 a.m. The tour was scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m., so his expectations were unreasonable from the start. (Funny, that I had inquired about this excursion, prior to our trip/ cruise because I didn’t believe the time line would work for us. But, I was ensured we would have no problem!) Throughout the tour, Oscar acted as though he was inconvenienced by having us there. When we asked if he could make a bathroom stop, he refused and said it would probably take 15 minutes. At the black sand beach, the only instructions we received were to “be back in an hour.” There was very little interaction, information, or effort to make the experience enjoyable. We were never offered water, drinks, or lunch which was supposedly included. We even had to ask about the banana bread! On top of everything else, Oscar was difficult to understand because of his very thick accent, and his overall attitude and rudeness were completely unnecessary. We paid $1,870 for a party of 11, and for that amount, we expected a much higher level of service, hospitality, and professionalism. I believe Viator needs to seriously reconsider using this tour guide, and Maui Fantastic needs to address how their guests are being treated. We paid a significant amount of money for what was supposed to be a memorable Maui experience, and unfortunately, the experience was anything but. Very disappointed and would not recommend this tour based on our experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would also like to clarify several important points for future guests and to provide some context regarding your comments. Before every excursion, our guests receive detailed information about what to expect, including the meeting time, itinerary, restroom schedule, and what to bring. We also send a reminder by text message the day before the tour with the meeting location and schedule. Your tour was scheduled to depart at 9:00 AM, and it did depart as scheduled. Because the Road to Hana is one of Maui’s busiest and most challenging routes—especially on Sundays—we clearly advise guests to use the restroom before departure. Our first scheduled restroom stop is approximately 1½ hours after leaving. We also recommend bringing snacks or food, which guests are welcome to enjoy during appropriate stops or on the beach. We would also like to clarify that lunch is not included in this excursion. The tour information on the booking platform clearly states what is included, and water is provided to our guests. Regarding the time at Black Sand Beach, this was not a decision made by our driver. On that particular day, the Department of Parks had limited access time to approximately one hour due to the unusually high number of visitors and construction-related preparations in the area. Our driver was required to follow those restrictions. As for our driver, Oscar, our understanding is that he followed the established protocol, introduced himself, provided information about the island and the route, and offered water to the group. The Road to Hana is also not designed to be a continuous, narrated sightseeing tour. We encourage our guests to immerse themselves in the scenery and enjoy the waterfalls, rainforest, coastline, and unique landscapes along the journey. Most importantly, the Road to Hana requires our driver’s full attention. The road is narrow, winding, and can be challenging, and safety must always come first. At times, our guides may need to focus primarily on driving rather than providing continuous narration. We are sorry that you felt the level of interaction was not what you expected. At the same time, we respectfully disagree with the suggestion that our driver was intentionally rude or that our company failed to provide the service described at booking. We have hosted many guests on Maui and have received more than 400 positive reviews from travelers who have enjoyed our tours and the care our team puts into providing a safe and memorable experience. We take every review seriously, including critical ones, and we will always use feedback to improve. We appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention and sincerely regret that the experience did not align with your expectations. We hope future guests will review the itinerary and included services carefully so they can choose the experience that best matches what they are looking for.

No regrets!
The experience was more than I expected, very informative. Our driver/host shared many historical points along the way.
Response from the operator: Aloha Lee_G, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that the experience exceeded your expectations and that you found the tour so informative. It's fantastic that our driver/host made the journey memorable by sharing historical points along the way. Providing guests with a deeper understanding of Maui's rich culture and history is something we truly take pride in. Thank you for choosing Maui Fantastic Tours. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the future! Mahalo, The Team at Maui Fantastic Tours

Fair tour
If you think you are stopping to see what's on the picture's think before you book. Not many stops are at the falls pictured. It was ok but you don not go all the way through the road. Driver was a fill in and seemed like he did not want to be there,
Response from the operator: Dear Maureen, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate hearing about your experience, even when it falls short of expectations. Regarding your comments about the photos and the falls – we respectfully disagree. Our tour images accurately represent the stops included in the itinerary, and we take care to ensure that promotional materials match what guests actually see. It's possible there was some misunderstanding about which falls correspond to which stop, but we can assure you there is no intention to mislead. You also mentioned that we don't go all the way through the road. For the record, we do – in fact, we travel this route daily and complete the full journey every time. We're not sure where that impression came from, but we want to set the record straight for anyone reading. Overall, we're glad you found the tour "fair," though we always aim for more than that. We hope you'll consider joining us again in the future – we'd love the chance to give you a better experience.

Great views at the black...
Great views at the black sand beaches, the waterfalls were great, the banana bread was delicious, and there were so many turtles to see at the last stop. Solid tour.
Response from the operator: Aloha Michael, Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a solid tour and enjoyed all the highlights of the Road to Hāna. It's wonderful that you got to experience the great views at the black sand beaches, the beautiful waterfalls, and the delicious banana bread—those are definitely some of the trip's best treats! And seeing so many turtles at the final stop is always a magical way to end the day. Thank you for choosing Maui Fantastic Tours. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the future! Mahalo, The Team at Maui Fantastic Tours

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Road To Hana Black Sand Beach Waterfalls & Turtles Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Road To Hana Black Sand Beach Waterfalls & Turtles Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $187 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Road To Hana Black Sand Beach Waterfalls & Turtles Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.
Is Road To Hana Black Sand Beach Waterfalls & Turtles Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 622 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Road To Hana Black Sand Beach Waterfalls & Turtles Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Road To Hana Black Sand Beach Waterfalls & Turtles Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Road To Hana Black Sand Beach Waterfalls & Turtles Tour?
+
Around 218 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Road To Hana Black Sand Beach Waterfalls & Turtles Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Maui?
+
Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Maui: VIP Private Road to Hana Tour with Pick Up, Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Maui?
+
April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Maui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
