A+++ Best tour on the island
Highly recommend this company. We had an amazing adventure with very knowledgeable and kind guides. John and his partner managed to show us almost whole island. Kids and us had lots of fun swimming in the ocean and jumping from the waterfall. Every stop was unique and beautiful.
Response from the operator: Thank you from Experience Hawaii Tours for the kind words. "A++++". We love that! Mahalo, Aloha and A Hui Hou! Rob for Experience Hawaii Tours ExperienceHawaii.com Winner "Best Private Tour to Hana" US News and World Report

Perfect way to experience Maui in one day!
We did the VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset tour with Levi at Experience Hawaii Tours. What a GREAT day!! Levi was a careful driver and I was happy to have him driving us , particularly on the Road to Hana. If you have never been there, it's a crazy windy road with lots of one-way sections. You definitely need to know the road to drive it! We made lots of stops, including one to jump at a waterfall! This was definitely one of the highlights for us. It was a long jump and the water was a bit chilly, but we all loved it! Sunset at Haleakala is a MUST-DO when in Maui. To enjoy a sunset above the clouds (while on the ground and not in a plane!) was something we will probably never experience again. It was absolutely breathtaking. We were there the weekend of July 4th, which was busy, and Levi made sure to get us up there early enough to get parking. We had time to walk around and then find great seats for the best sunset we've ever experienced!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much from Experience Hawaii Tours for both the kind words as well as trusting us with your precious vacation time! Mahalo, Aloha and A Hui Hou! Rob for Experience Hawaii Tours ExperienceHawaii.com Winner "Best Private Tour to Hana" US News and World Report

Excellent driver/guide
Had a wonderful day with Ida. Very pleasant and knowledgeable fellow. He kept us interested the entire day and made stops everywhere we wanted. Having a processional do the driving made for a great day of sightseeing for us. Scenery was stunning. Not cheap but so worth it.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $499 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 VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 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 VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset 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 VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset Tour?
+
Around 13 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does VIP Private Road to Hana and Haleakala Sunset 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.
