Amazing road to Hana! - Absolutely wonderful experience doing the reverse road to Hana. My whole family had the best time, saw so many spots that we'd never find on our own, and enjoyed Kellen's company the whole way. We'll definitely be in touch the next time we are in Maui!

Hana Jungle Tour - We had a wonderful day tour with our guide, Kellen. He was very knowledgeable, careful and patient. We saw so many beautiful sites-waterfalls, beaches and flora and fauna. We also learned about the history and culture of Hawai’i. We strongly recommend reaching out to Kellen.

Road to Hana - The company I originally tried scheduling the full loop road to Hana, wasn’t available and recommended Local Maui Tours, and we are SOOO glad they did. The tour from Local Maui Tours was better than anything we hoped. Kellen made us comfortable and treated us like best friends he hadn’t seen in years. Best of all, it was in the luxury of a super comfy and spacious vehicle. We got to see numerous waterfalls, Turtles, and Kellen taught us a TON about Maui, the culture, history, etc. While stopping at beaches, waterfalls, local farms, rainforests, etc. We took thousands of pictures and had a tour that we’ll have memories for a lifetime. When we come back to Maui, we’ll be looking to Kellen for another tour! Thanks Kellen!

The Perfect Tour for Cruise Visitors Who Want a Personalized, Stress-Free, and Truly Unforgettable Maui Experience - I work on cruise ships and have been on countless tours across many destinations, and this experience stands out as one of the very best. Kellen, the guide, created an exceptional and memorable day exploring Maui. Multiple waterfalls, a turtle-viewing stop, an excellent local lunch spot, a peaceful arboretum, and part of the Road to Hana were all included — and several of the waterfalls would have been impossible to find without true local expertise.
The pacing of the day was perfect: never rushed, yet an impressive amount was covered. Safety was always a priority, and even on the narrow Hana roads, there was complete confidence in Kellen’s driving. The vehicle was spacious, luxurious, and extremely comfortable, with excellent A/C that made the full-day outing even more enjoyable. A highlight was watching fresh coconuts being opened for coconut water straight from the source — such a thoughtful touch.
As a cruise ship visitor, the logistics could not have been easier. Pickup was right outside the cruise port and drop-off was even closer to the ship. There was never a moment of concern about making it back on time.
The entire experience felt personal, smooth, and incredibly well planned. It was easy to simply relax and enjoy seeing everything without needing to navigate or plan out the route.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a safe, stress-free, and unforgettable way to experience Maui.

Book This Tour!!! Truly Unforgettable!!! - Kellen is an amazing tour guide!!! My husband and I went on his Road to Hana tour and we enjoyed every moment from beginning to end. Kellen is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly skilled at maneuvering through the narrow winding roads. We felt safe the entire time. He is a true local who grew up here and his passion for Maui’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the entire day unforgettable.
He took us to the most beautiful spots. We saw breathtaking sights, enjoyed peaceful swimming areas, and ate the best banana bread and pizza I have ever had. He knew exactly where to stop, avoided the crowds, and timed everything perfectly. His vehicle is extremely comfortable and luxurious, which made the long drive feel relaxing and enjoyable.
What makes Local Maui Tours stand out is the personal and genuine experience they provide. Nothing felt rushed or touristy. It felt like being shown around by a friend who wants you to fall in love with Maui the same way he has. The attention to detail, the authentic local insight, and the true care for guests make this company exceptional.
I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Local Maui Tours. Do not even think twice. Just book it. You will not regret it. This was the best tour we have ever been on and the perfect start to our Maui holiday!!!! Thank you so much Kellen. 🤙🏽

Best Road to Hana Tour - This review is a year late but it’s been on my mind because it was such an amazing experience. My son and I booked a full day Road to Hana tour with Kellen and it was hands down the best choice we could have made. He’s a true local and knew everything about the history of the area. He took us to the best spots, we saw some of the most beautiful sights on Maui, and we ate the best banana bread I’ve ever had.
It was so much better than trying to drive ourselves. I even invited other family members to join us but they wanted to do the drive on their own. They only made it halfway before turning back because it was too much. That really says it all about how worth it this tour is.
The Grand Wagoneer we rode in was super comfortable and spacious which made the whole day even more enjoyable. I would recommend Kellen to anyone visiting Maui. It was truly one of the best experiences I have ever had.

Amazing, Relaxing and Super Personal Tour - My husband and I had a great time on the full-day tour! Kellen was so informative - lots of great tidbits about Maui history. We loved that we never felt rushed from one place to the next, while at the same time, didn't feel like we had too much time at each stop. Kellen took us to some smaller, less touristy places at our request and that was really awesome. We loved the honey spot and had the most amazing banana bread. Also, the chocolate stand with the adorable pig was a can't miss. The tour felt more like traveling with a friend than a tour guide. It's hard to pick one stand out favorite - my husband loved the black rock beach and I think I loved the turtles and rainbow eucalyptus. We highly recommend this tour!
