  1. Mini-F

    Waterfalls were amazing. The guide Eric shared great stories of Hawaiian culture and history. Lunch
    was a little disappointing but I do Recommend this tour

  2. Nancy-F

    Beautiful scenery . Eric was a wonderful guide and he gave a lot of local history. Highly recommend this
    trip.

  3. matthew

    Quinn was an excellent tour guide. Not only was he super friendly, but extremely knowledgeable as well. Very impressive and was so kind to everyone. We are on our honeymoon and we are so glad we didn’t drive and had Quinn as a tour guide! He was the safest driver and knew the roads like the back of his hand, which lead us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the views. I wish we could multiple Quinn by a million and move the Quinn’s to the Chicagoland area, because you just don’t find tour guides like him anymore :’) So far this was the best part of our trip! Very few things in life are worth waking up at 5am, but this was totally worth it. 10/10 recommend, a big thank you to Quinn!

  4. c3108

    Quinn was. A great guide, full of history, nature. Very friendly , the time flew.
    The black sand beach was great fun and the swim in the waterfalls was sublime

  5. Xindi_X

    Quinn is an amazing guide. He kept the long drive entertaining with fun facts and great story telling. He was kind, personable and super educational. He was also spot on with timing and ensured we got to fully enjoy each destination while staying on track with schedule/beating traffic.

    The tour itself was also really fun. Highlights of the trip were swimming in the waterfall and in the black sand beach. Scenery was gorgeous throughout the entire trip, would highly recommend trying this excursion.

  6. dana-b

    If it’s your first time to Hanna I highly recommend. I also would recommend requesting Quinn. His
    knowledge of Hanna past president (he actually lives there) future history is not only impressive it is
    passionate. You can tell Quinn loves what he dose and it shows.

  7. philsc0t

    This was a fantastic way to see Maui and the road to Hana. Quinn is an excellent guide and driver. His
    knowledge and insight into Hawaiian nature and culture really made the trip enjoyable. I would
    encourage anyone to take this trip!

  8. kathleen

    Thank you Quinn for an amazing experience! We are so glad we decided to go with a tour. We definitely would not Have experienced everything we did if we went on our own. Definitely ask for Quinn as your tour guide he is someone who loves Maui and will give you the best experience and was great with keeping my kids interested.

  9. Katie_B

    Being able to see a whole new world inside of Maui. I loved all the information and history that was told
    during the tour

  10. urbz01

    Had a great time on tour with Quinn. I love the narration throughout the tour, entertaining and educating
    at the same time.

  11. Giang_L

    I really like how Tom made our trip so smooth, gentle and very informative. I wish the time at Black sand
    beach would be longer, and the trip would include sometime at the Pipiwai trail!

  12. markf785

    We had a great trip with Quinn as our tour guide. He drove us expertly around the tight twists and turns of Hana Highway and the Mercedes van handles the extremely bumpy roads.

    Quinn was very knowledgeable and had facts and information from the time we boarded until we returned. He also came with an endless supply of “dad jokes” and bad, but funny puns. Our group of 9 all had a great time and we highly recommend a tour with Quinn.

  13. Brooke

    We had Quinn! I loved him and he was so knowledgeable about the rainforest! He was so enthusiastic
    and really fun to be around! 🙂

  14. Robert Wozniak

    Great Trip!
    Our tour guide was Tom, he was fabulous! We stayed on our schedule the entire trip and was always willing to assist with whatever needs we had. My sister and I traveled from Michigan and could not find a road to Hana tour as they were already sold out, somehow we were able to book this tour the day before and we are so happy we did!

  15. Iva Kulich

    Once in a lifetime
    Tom was an amazing driver. We’re so thankful we booked or we would never have gotten to experience
    such a fantastic ride. Tom was such a good driver that my 10 year old felt safe enough to sleep on the
    scariest part of the drive. Thank you so much!

  16. Tom Robbins

    Amazing experience. Tom was our tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and answered everyone’s questions happily. He definitely made us feel safe during that drive! The hours just flew by!

  17. Frances Apollo

    Hana all day small group
    Awesome driver Kieli who grew up on Maui and knew everything and everybody during trip, friendly as
    well. Trip thru Hana highway exceeded my expectations by a mile

  18. Michael C

    Road to Paradise Hana …
    This was an amazing tour into Hana Valley. Very comfortable with stops every now and then to see beautiful falls and highlight was black sand beach. Beauty of this place is out of the world. Our tour leader Tom was a great host and super safe driver. He gave nice commentary on what was where and best was his safety instructions that were very valuable. Lunch was really good sandwich wigh fruit and Hawaiian drink. Aloha and Mahalo

  19. Storey Gram

    Memorable family time
    Every minute was memorable, a Safe, enjoyable and friendly time spend the driver Tom. This was a
    great experience and the best part was being driven to every destination with no hassle:)

  20. Tanya Green

    A perfect Road Trip!
    It was our second time going to Hana. The first time we were by ourselves. This time we went on a luxury Mercedes van with Stardust Hawaii tour company. And boy, let me tell you it made a huge difference. Instead of paying attention to the road and trying not to fall off a cliff, we could actually enjoy the scenery and soak it all in. The drive itself is long and thanks to our driver/guide Tom we could see places we didn’t even know existed. We swam at hidden waterfalls, tasted local banana bread, visited the black sand beach (my favorite) and took about a gazillion spectacular photos. It’s a must!

  21. Ms Gina

    Good trip
    Our family took the full day tour and it was an experience to treasure. Even though we had a hired car we wouldn’t have been able to navigate the treacherous driving conditions- the Winding roads were steep and narrow, and in some cases single lane only – definitely not for the faint-hearted. If you want to enjoy the scenery then there is no point of doing the driving yourself. Anyway the tour was wonderful with a well experienced driver/tour guide. He had a world of knowledge and was very informative. He stopped at all the interesting scenic spots including waterfalls and beaches and gave us ample time to explore the surroundings. The lunch provided was tasty and more than enough for everyone. Overall it was a tour worth joining and all of us had an enjoyable day.

  22. Mia Raven

    5 years ago I drove the entire road to Hana and back and while that was an amazing trip, this was even better with our guide Ray. The Mercedes very comfortable, even for the winding and rocky road to Hana. The 2 highlights of the trip were swimming in a waterfall and actually driving around the backside of the mountain (something you are unable to do with a car rental). Our guide was knowledgeable of the entire island and the history of the Polynesian people. This was by far our best trip in Hawaii.

  23. Sasha Smith

    Road to Hana
    Very exciting with some precarious narrow roads, a must-do when visiting Hawaii. Please don’t drive there, go with a professional driver as we did – you will see what I mean. Plan trip for the entire day, it’s so beautiful.

  24. Maryann Asher

    Our tour guide was the best
    This was such a fun experience! We had the best driver! Lots of stops and info on the Hawaii! He made it a very memorable trip!

  25. DenaM

    Long But Fun Day a MUST SEE
    Make sure you take your own food or eat at the first halfway mark. The chicken that we got at the restaurant that we stopped at was not very good and the vegetables were half cooked and the rice was very cold and you had no choice of what you were going to get. Luckily we took some protein bars and ate some banana bread at the midway point. Ray was an excellent guide and had a vast amount of information. My husband felt like he got on complete information overload and would have liked to of had some brief or a little bit longer moments of silence The stops are absolutely amazing and the view is breathtaking and exciting as far as the waterfalls are concerned I would’ve rather just done a brief stop at that, and in fact our entire group did not get in the water there. There are signs everywhere saying that you’re not allowed to get in the water there. We knew this would be a very long day, it was around 11 1/2 hours with hotel pick up and drop off. Only other suggestions were that many of us needed a bathroom break towards the end and that was difficult to find. Ray even had ginger candy available for people that might get nauseous and make frequent stops and kept the air up so that people would not get nauseated. Thank you Ray from your Tennessee couple.

  26. Athena32

    An excellent way to see a lot of the island without the hassle of driving the road yourself
    Ray is an excellent guide, he’s been driving the road for a long time and knows all the places to go and people to see. Going on a tour is an wonderful way to see the sights without having to drive what can be a tricky road yourself. With this trip you get an excellent guide and you go to some wonderful places

  27. Luna

    Trip road to hana
    It was great wish I could do it again mostly cuz our tour guide was informative courteous funny n just made it that much more enjoyable definitely recommend it.

  28. Tom Baran

    Road to Hana
    We had a great tour with the most experienced driver and extremely knowledgable of the island history and volcanos.
    We learned so much while experiencing a great trip!! We had great bbq chicken.. wow! The views are breathtaking and the black sand beach was incredible!!

  29. TravelChic

    Our last day was the best day with Rory!
    We spent two wonderful weeks in Maui and on our last day we took the Road to Hana tour with Rory. It was the best tour I’ve ever taken and I took this tour ten years ago and only remember one location. Our guide was so knowledgeable and answered every question from all 11 passengers. Rory is considerate, smart, caring, and just plain fun. He explained so many things about the Polynesian people that amazed us and educated us. I hope to return and bring my family members so that they can experience this tour. Thank you Rory, and bless you in all your endeavors. Keep doing what you do!

  30. Babygirl1

    A MUST DO WHEN VISITING MAUI
    We had many tour companies to do this tour with. However, we decided to go with Stardust. Everything that was offered in the package was delivered 100%. We swam at the waterfall which was a great spot for photos. We visited the black sand beach as promised. Amazing for photos. We even stopped in areas that were not mentioned when we booked the tour. Our tour guide was Rory, who is incredibly knowledgeable and provided so much history of not only Maui but of all other islands as well. Rory went out of his way to make sure that we had a good lunch being that we do not eat meat. He even purchased a special canoe, which had many fruits the locals eat. He certainly made us feel special. He made a twelve our trip so much fun and go by so fast. This is a trip that must be done if you are in Maui. However, do it with Rory from Stardust. You will not only get to see all the beautiful spots on the road to Hana. You will leave there with more history of Hawaii than when you arrived there.

  31. Theresa Walker

    Nice, many sites, very informative, great Lunch and looong trip. I would never drive there alone

  32. Paul Meinzer

    Nice trip. Very knowledgeable guide. Only 6 of us so we had a more personal tour. Waterfalls were great. A bit confused about lunch since we had to pre-order our sandwiches when booking the tour, but we ate at a huli chicken place on side of the road. No one told us about the change. Trip was 13 hours, but well worth it. Much better to have someone else do the driving

  33. Ashley Kowalski

    Charlie Konkolsky
    It was beyond our expectations! The luxury ride beated it all. Have done Road to Hana before by renting a car and driving and will never do the same mistake again. The Mercedes ride was such a great experience. We didn’t have to worry about the traffic, food, drinks, and we had the vehicle to our selves only. Our guide was super cool and showed us things we would never be able to see on our own

  34. Eric W

    I am a city girl and I am very picky. I was traveling with my girlfriend and it was my last trip as a single before getting because married in November. It was my second trip to Hawaii, but first time in Maui. We went on a Hana adventure with Stardust Hawaii in their luxury car. Our guide Tom was awesome. He greeted us with a bottle of a champagne and as Hawaiian call it “pupus”, appetizers. During our ride we saw many beautiful waterfalls, were able to swim in a lagoon, jump of a cliff in seven sacred pools, buy local banana bread, and saw some amazing scenery’s. Tom was taking plenty of pictures and I’m so grateful for that. Now I have some amazing memories for my bachelor trip to Maui Hawaii. I want to come back with my husband this time, and do it again so I can share my great experience with him. Big mahalo Stardust Hawaii.

  35. Karla

    Incredible views, beautiful nature, black beach sand, waterfalls, truly a real paradise. Thank you Tom, you were a great chauffer. Will come back for another tour.

  36. Natasha_C

    Shakaaaaa

    5 stars for our tour guide Quinn. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable and accommodating (he went out of the way to drop us off at our condo 2 miles away from the pick up spot.) A very memorable way to explore the road to Hana and relax during the windy roads. We learned so much about the Maui history and lots of fun facts… mahalo Quinn!

  37. Alexis_W

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND
    Tom was an amazing tour guide! We had a great day and I highly recommend taking this tour instead of going on your own. Much more relaxing and you still get to see the highlights!

  38. Shara_B

    Road To Hana

    Tom was our tour guide and he was great! He was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and efficient. He knew the best places to stop including getting the best banana bread and fresh coconuts. We had a blast and highly recommend this guided trip.

  39. Greg_S

    Fantastic!

    Our guide and driver Quinn was fantastic; Professional, knowledgeable, a safe driver, upbeat and high energy. Thanks to him we had a perfect tour.

  40. John_B

    5/22/21 Hana Tour

    Everything was great! Waterfalls, beaches (black and red sand), side stops, tour guides knowledge and personality. All was great!

  41. Chelena_F

    Beautiful through and through

    Quinn was ALOHA. Everything you could ask for in a tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, explained from culture, history, geology, political. Amazing trip with even better views that pictures don’t do justice.

  42. Michelle_R

    Worth the trip!

    Well prepared guide with lots of food and drink. Tons of stops and interactive (if you wanted to stop somewhere specific, they were very accommodating). Windows don’t roll down so hard to take pictures out of the moving van.

  43. Baylee_B

    Would highly recommend Quinn as a tour guide and would 100% do this tour again!!

    This was such a fun activity! I was originally dreading going on this due to getting up so early and sitting in a bus all day, but the tour wasn’t like that at all. The day went by so fast and was packed with fun stops and our tour guide, Quinn, was very sweet and attentive! Quinn even stopped at a fresh fruit stand on our way back because some people on our bus wanted fresh produce. Quinn was also very knowledgeable about Hawaii and so relaxed while driving the crazy road to Hana, which made us feel very safe.

  44. Christopher_M

    Well worth the money!

    Great bang for your buck in terms of a whole day adventure. Lots of driving and seeing incredible things. I feel like I saw Maui after this.

  45. Christopher_S

    You can’t even imagine
    We had a fabulous time and glad we chose the tour versus driving the road ourselves Tom our guide was professional and knowledgeable and a great experience was had by the entire group 5 thumbs up for this tour book it and you won’t regret a moment

  46. Mary_R

  49. Ian_K

    Do it!

    Black sand beach and I really enjoyed the drive. Nice to have adventure. Shop with the fruits was great!

  50. Semiramiss_N

    Amazing Experience

    Tom is the best tour leader in the world. The tour was SO worth it. Do it. Do not think twice. You will be happy you did it.

  51. Natalie_A

  55. Doug_R

    Quite the experience

    We were very glad to be accepted for this tour after a problem with a previous tour booking. The ‘Road to Hana’ had many stunning views and the commentary from our driver/guide was both educational and entertaining. The returning drive on the lower road was also scenic and interesting – but the road itself was so rough that we suffered from a bit of whiplash!

  56. Barbara_P

    Epic Trip
    Awesome trip. Rodney gave 150% to make sure everyone was entertained and intellectually stimulated. Trip was more fun than we expected. Rodney showed us his island in a way that showcased all of Maui’s nuances. Fruit, flowers, music, waterfalls, desert, mongoose, wild goat, surf, jungle, coffee, and cocoa only cover part of the experience.

  57. MstrViolinist

    Excellent trip with Rory!
    Driver Rory was excellent, experienced, and knew all the curves and best stops on the road as he has been doing it for decades. The road can be a bit rough and winding, especially around the cliffs along the back side of the island. Made several stops at waterfalls, lookouts, and banana bread. Lunch was provided by a roadside stand with huli-huli chicken and Rory brought super-sweet pineapple.

    A bit long, by the end we were ready to get off the van, but that’s the nature of the tour. Overall it was about 11 hours from when we left to when we made it back to Lahaina.

    Still glad we decided not drive ourselves and got to experience way more than we could have on our own,.

  58. LynneS_NY

    Leave the driving to Stardust!
    Wonderful tour to Hana with our guide Rory. He was so knowledgeable, entertaining, and confident driving this rough road with its many twists and turns. We made many stops along the way to take pictures and enjoy the sights. The lunch of Huli Huli chicken was a nice change from the usual tour sandwiches. The pineapple Rory brought was sweet and delicious. You will learn a lot about Hawaii’s culture, history, and interesting facts along the way and we highly recommend taking this tour.

  59. Tony D

    Amazing! also not for the weak
    I took this tour and it far exceeded my expectations, Kay was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating. He prepared freshly baked snacks in the morning, and professionally prepared a Maui Gold pineapple that was as advertised. I suggest skipping coffee and and limit your liquid intake as there are few bathrooms along the way, but if you’re comfortable being one with nature then this isn’t an issue.

    Ride: nice spacious van, Kay would periodically check in on us to see if the inside temp was OK, road was rough and if you get carsick easily prepare accordingly, Kay is an experienced driver and it shows. He was full of knowledge and many tidbits of information throughout the whole trip

    Food: Water, Juice, Fresh Fruit, Baked Goods were all provided and readily available to anyone that wanted any. The local eatery was delicious and very accommodating to our vegetarian travel buddy

    Sights: can’t say enough about how beautiful the road to Hana was, we had plenty of stops and got so many beautiful pictures, from the waterfalls to the black sand beach it was visually stunning from beginning to end.

    Overall: we were exhausted at the end but loved every minute, it was definitely a long drive but would highly recommend it to all our friends!

  60. CraftBrewers

    Spectacular Tour and Guide
    This trip was one of the best tours I have ever been on. Kay, our driver went above and beyond to make the tour interesting and informative. His vast knowledge of the island, and particularly the road to Hana was more than impressive. His expertise in driving also showed, as he discussed safety tips. He made every effort to make sure that we say EVERYTHING and had many photo opportunities. Our day started on a high note, when he spoiled us with professional baked goods. I would highly recommend this as a great way to see Maui. In closing, I can’t thank Kay enough. He left a lasting impression on us.

  61. Amy A

    This was by far the best tour we have ever done! Tony, our guide on the road, was very informative, friendly, and took great pictures. Bruno, our pilot, made us feel safe so we could really enjoy the breathtaking views. Would definitely do again!

  62. Alyssagould3

    Road to hana
    Rebekah was our guide, although the bus was packed, we had fun. It was a long day, well worth it. Thankfully we decided to book a tour instead of driving it ourselves. Way too dangerous to drive for the first time for me ans my husbands taste. The food, stops and events were great. I got to do everything i wanted to do. Was upset we didnt get to stop at the seven pools. But buses arent allowed to stop there. Rebekah was knowledgeable and very friendly. Id do it again if we come back.

  63. Kruiz90

    Large family private full road to Hana tour
    We are so thankful Stardust had openings! We were a group of 28 from 7 mos to 77 years and enjoyed our 2 vehicle adventure! We were picked up at the resort, breakfast of various breads and juices, we could customize stops a bit so kids could swim multiple times ( in the waterfall & cliff jump) see the sea turtles coming in and sunbathing, black sand beaches & caves, fresh warm banana bread & Hawaiian ice, bouldering on lava formations at the peninsula and a large lunch ( local chicken, rice & veggies). And they took pics for us all along the way. @ 11 hours of family adventures. Lots of history and drinks & snacks along the way! Highly recommend!!

  64. VictoriaGrace0896

    Amazing !!
    We had a wonderful trip!!! One of the only tour guides that go the WHOLE road. Got to see Hana & upcountry! We had Tom, he was the most AMAZING tour guide we could’ve asked for. He was polite, informative , & hilarious !!!
