Lisa made our Road to Hana tour unforgettable! Our group of nine had such a wonderful time, thanks to her fun personality and genuine passion for what she does. She brought everyone together, connecting with all the guests and making us feel like one big family. We even played a game to help us remember each other’s names!

And the tunnel experience? We’ll never think of it the same way again—“I Feel Good!” We highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a memorable, fun, and welcoming tour.

Absolutely the best tour!
This was the highlight of our stay in Waikiki. Papa P. was the absolute best tour guide we’ve ever had. He told stories of history, jokes, and kept us well fed with snacks and drinks on the bus. He even accompanied us into the Polynesian Cultural Center and helped us make the most of our experience. Towards the end of the trip, he even played guitar and sang a few songs. What a treat! If you want to turn your tour into more than just places to visit, please consider this tour and request him as your guide. We highly recommend this company.

Fun, informative tour
Great tour. We flew in early this morning and Darcy met us at the easy to find airport meeting point to get the all day tour started. Darcy is a very informative and entertaining guide! We very much enjoyed visiting Pearl Harbor and learning about the history of that infamous day. We were very moved by visiting the USS Arizona Memorial. Darcy was able to point out lots of sights along the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center and Dole plantation including areas of famous movie scenes! I highly recommend this tour and especially Darcy!

Best tour guide you could ask for.
Papa made this trip so AWESOME! Nothing better than a guide with a lifetime of knowledge, passion for the work and great story telling abilities ( the jokes and singing were ok too 😆). With this type of guide you get all the extras. Only thing I would change is a lot more time at Pearl Harbour and less time at the PCC.

The tour was amazing!! Papa P did a fantastic job taking us around the island and keeping the trip fun and exciting! Near the end of the tour he even serenaded our group with his guitar! The tour started at 6am and takes up most of the day so we’re all pretty tired but it was still a great experience.

WWII history comes to life
While the pickup time was moved from 7am to 9:30, it was better for us and the change was communicated the night before via text. The tour included touring the USS Arizona and USS Missouri. We had plenty of time to walk around each of the exhibits as well as take in a cold drink and peruse the gift shops. Our mini coach driver Bill shared great historical stories as well as stories not usually found in our school history books, relevant to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and American history. We wanted to mention how extra kind Bill was to an elderly couple with mobility issues. Bill went above and beyond to help accommodate these folks.

Mel was great very informative about the cultural heritage and the evolution of the islands. There was a lot to fit in the schedule. Mel kept us on track so our fellow travelers made it on time to the airport. Bus was a little cramped (bus design), not the fault of the tour company. We had a great time! Mahalo Mel!!

Really interesting place to visit and worth going to. Very early start but was actually nice it get to Pearl Harbor before it got too busy. Our guide Brian was a real character! Took us to get malasadas after the Pearl Harbor part of our day out had finished as he insisted everyone should try them. Was very knowledgeable when talking about local history and pointing out different things on our tour back to the hotel.

My wife and I had a wonderful full day excursion with Aloha Sunshine Tours today visiting the Pearl Harbor Memorial, Polynesian Cultural Center, and the Dole Pineapple Plantation, not to mention the scenic drive between each stop. The highlight though was our driver/ tour guide, Papa P who’s knowledge of Island history, jokes, and so much more is why we not only recommend AST but very highly recommend Papa P for your next tour. We sure will!

I did a solo day trip for this and it was absolutely incredible, sometimes being alone in a tour group is a little awkward. So I want to especially call out Jayson and Mel for their amazing customer service. Leading up to the tour date, they ensured I had all info and was set up to go. Day of, Hawaiian Airlines wouldn’t let me on the original flight, so I had to meet the group an hour later. J & M ensured they’d wait for me so I didn’t miss any of the experience. Mel was extremely knowledgeable about everything we did and more, we would not have had the same day without him.  You can tell these people love what they do and it rubs off on the visitors. I highly recommend booking.

An Enchanting and Unforgettable Journey with Lisa!

Our Road to Hana tour with Lisa was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Lisa is incredibly friendly and has a unique way of making you feel completely connected to the road and the surrounding nature. As we drove, she beautifully explained the island's plant life—we even got to try fresh local fruits like strawberry guava right along the way!What truly sets Lisa apart is her deep knowledge of ancient Hawaiian tales and myths, which brought the landscape to life. Her genuine friendship with local vendors and residents made the entire experience feel authentic and enchanting-you can clearly seee she does a lot for the community :)
She was incredibly flexible with each stop, ensuring we got the most out of every destination. We saw stunning turtle beaches, beautiful waterfalls, and gorgeous scenery, all while enjoying delicious food and fruit throughout the day. If you want a flexible, deeply immersive, and magical tour, ask for Lisa!

The scenery was breathtaking, the tour was good and a great experience. However, the tour ended after 8 hours, not the advertised 11. At some sights, we only stopped briefly for photos, which was a real shame. The lunch break at the black sand beach could easily have been extended to 90 minutes. The guide was good and very knowledgeable, but I got the impression he wanted to end the tour early... I can't say who it was, though, as he didn't introduce himself. Therefore, only 4 stars.

The rainforest and the Road to Hana are truly impressive. Unfortunately, it rained, and there were hardly any stops except at the aforementioned highlights. So, you can only really experience the road and the wilderness firsthand. The highlights themselves, however, were all very worthwhile (black lava beach with a small lava tube, swimming in the waterfall's pool, other viewpoints overlooking the rainforest and coast). Driving yourself wasn't an option, so I highly recommend it.

Beautiful stops all day long. I highly recommend this trip. One caveat: the pick up organization was really bad. I had to wait almost an hour - and everybody else, too.

Our experience with this excursion to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was nothing short of incredible and easily one of the most memorable parts of our trip. 

From start to finish, coordination by Aloha Sunshine Tours was seamless. They handled booking all four flights for us (two per person), which made what could have been a complicated itinerary feel effortless. We opted to “splurge” on this excursion—approximately $1,200 total including flights—and it was absolutely worth it.

The day began very early with a flight from Maui to Honolulu, followed by a second flight to Kona. Upon arrival, we were promptly picked up by our guide, Jim C, whose energy and storytelling truly defined the experience. Traveling with a small group of 11 guests in an air-conditioned van, the entire 11-hour day felt engaging and well-paced thanks to his enthusiasm and knowledge.

Our first stop was Greenwell Farms for coffee, followed by Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, where we were fortunate enough to see several green sea turtles basking in the sun. We then stopped at Punaluʻu Bake Shop, where we enjoyed delicious malasadas and picked up sandwiches to bring along for a picnic later in the day.

The highlight, of course, was exploring Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park itself. We visited multiple gift shops, hiked approximately one mile along a volcanic crater, and even had the chance to view the bubbling lava of Kīlauea through Jim’s personal telescope—an unforgettable moment. We also walked through a massive lava tube, adding to the sense of adventure and scale of the landscape.

Additional stops included sightseeing in Hilo, with visits to Big Island Candies and Rainbow Falls, both of which were great additions to an already full itinerary.

The tour concluded with drop-off at the airport for our return flights (Hilo to Honolulu, then Honolulu to Maui), wrapping up what was the longest excursion we’ve ever done—but also one of the most rewarding.

This private Road to Hana Rainforest and Waterfall Experience was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. The views were absolutely incredible—lush rainforest, dramatic coastline, and waterfalls around nearly every corner. It’s hard to put into words just how beautiful the drive is, and having the freedom to stop and take it all in made the experience even better.

What truly made the tour exceptional was our guide Jason. He was born and raised on Maui, and his local knowledge and personal stories brought the entire journey to life. He knew all the best spots, shared fascinating history about the island, and made sure we experienced places we never would have found on our own.

The private format made the day relaxed and personal, and we never felt rushed. If you’re visiting Maui and want to experience the Road to Hana the right way—with incredible scenery and authentic local insight—this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend. 5 stars. 10/10 experience. Don’t hesitate to book and ASK FOR JASON!

Lisa was a great tour guide. She drove us to Hana, shared stories of the island’s history and made this THE most enjoyable day. I highly recommend this tour and particularly Lisa as the guide. 5 stars without a doubt!

From start to finish, Jason Frias made our Road to Hana adventure truly special. His deep love for his island shines through every story, legend, and fun fact he shares. Along the way, he introduced us to native plants and wildlife, explained local customs, and even treated us to mouthwatering island delicacies.
Not only is Jason incredibly knowledgeable, but he’s also funny, engaging, and a natural entertainer. Kind, respectful, and always ready to help – he’s the kind of guide who turns a great tour into an unforgettable experience.
If you’re lucky enough to get Jason as your guide, you’re in for the best day in Hawaii!

We did the Volcano tour with Mel. Couldn’t have had a more enjoyable experience. The tour was head and shoulders above other volcano tours I had taken previously.

Aloha Sunshine Tours Big Island Volcanoes tour with Mel our personal tour guide. From day one booking, customer service was awesome!!! Booked all our flights from Oahu to the Big Island and our helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tours. Right off the flight Mel was ready to go. Following our air tour of Volcano National Park. Mel did an incredible job covering Hawaiian history, culture and science of the islands. We could not have asked for a better guide. Personable, knowledgeable and passionate. Highly recommended this tour and suggest you ask for Mel.

We had a great day today as Mel as our driver. He filled us in on all the history of the island and the volcanoes with cool stories that we really enjoyed and took us to see some amazing places. 

Thanks from Paul and Katie

The experience was well worth it and both my girlfriend and I had a great time. With all the sights we saw alone, being from Australia, we were more than satisfied with the tour of Hawaii. Add that to the incredible service and commentary from our guide, Papa P, it was an adventure of a life time. Massive thanks to him for making today so fun, and a big shoutout to his awesome guitar and singing skills and his complementary chips. Aloha!

Our tour guide was amazing!  He literally walked us through the entire process.  Our plane was late and he helped us get where where we needed and held the van for us!  He was also very entertaining.  We loved the other family we were with.  Everything was just perfect ❤️thank you Anthony we appreciate your hospitality!!

We took the volcanoes National park tour from Kauai. We had a great time in our bus and touring  with an exceptional guide and driver.
Ask for Mel if you want a true vision of all the islands. This native Hawaiian man gave us an in-depth understanding about the history of Hawaiian culture, and offered a glimpse of what the future may hold. We toured on March 2, 2023.
All facets of this tour were clean,detailed, and polite and courteous.

I recommend Mel and Aloha Sunshine tours!!!
