The Hawaiian island of Maui is a destination for true nature lovers. The ethereal bamboo forest and churning waterfalls in Haleakala National Park can be explored via the Waimoku Falls Trail. Stretch out on warm, golden sands or hit the surf for an unforgettable windsurfing or snorkeling session. Driving the scenic road to Hana along the island’s northeastern shore will be among the most spectacular journeys of your life. Time stands still at the Hawaiian village of Keanae, definitely worth a visit.

Drive was very nice but the information that was passed from the tour guide to us was the most impactful! Tom was very knowledgable, good sense of humor, and pleasant to talk with throughout the day. His calm demeanor, under such stressful driving routes, was very impressive. Waterfalls were beautiful and timing/pace was good overall. Highly recommend the tour over trying to go at it yourself! If at all possible, ask for Tom as your tour guide! And leave him a tip after your tour and/or a review here! Thanks Tom!

This is a good and inexpensive way to do the Haleakala sunset tour with audio narrative of things to see along the way to the mountain top. Good value for the price. A quick tip: this app burns through your phone battery fast so having a car phone cable is a must or else your phone battery will run out of juice pretty quick...

Our tour guide, Chris, was absolutely the best! We decided to do a customized tour since we were traveling with our 5 year old, and we didn’t want to be in the car all day. Chris took us on a great hike through the Iao Valley, and then to see the turtles on the beach. He was able to pick us up from our hotel in Wailea, and stopped so we could have lunch in between adventures. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is wanting to see a few sites around Maui but doesn’t want to drive or isn’t sure where to go. Chris pointed out so many cool things along the way that we would have never seen otherwise. He was so great with our daughter, and made the whole experience very comfortable for us. We will 1000% be using Awapuhi Adventures again!!

My partner decided to do a ghosthunt in Chicago on a Friday night to learn a little bit more about the neighborhood we live in, and boy we're glad we did it! Tony is the BEST tour guide--super knowledgeable about the historical, the strange, the weird, and the paranormal! We started off in front of the history museum and wound our way through Lincoln Park, around the zoo, and eventually ended up at a nondescript parking lot down the street from us which happens to be the site of the St. Valentine's Day massacre. Along with his encyclopedic knowledge, Tony brought some ghost hunting gear for our little group, so we had fun chasing EMF around the park while hearing stories of the various hauntings. All in all, this is a fantastic experience, well worth your time if you like history and ghost stories.

Alec was super accommodating from the start. He picked my daughter and me up from the hotel, gauged our adventure level, and we were off. We did the half day tour and it was jam packed! Bamboo forrest, water falls, lunch...it was all fantastic. Along the way Alec was caring - did we need anything, be careful with your footing, want more pictures, etc. Really glad we chose Jungle Tours Maui for this experience. I didn't want a large group to be tromping around with us so a private tour was perfect. Highly recommended!
