Maui Tours are for relaxing.
Written by Ray HutaffWe know you’ve spent a lot of time and money getting here.
And we realize you need (and deserve) an affordable, unforgettable 10 to 12 hour tour to truly get back on island time!
So, we’ll focus on your relaxation, comfort and creating a peaceful vibe that is the result of being exposed to Maui’s “local style.”
We take great pleasure in making it our “kuleana” (responsibility) to “malama” (take care of) you while we share our knowledge about this beautiful island and the Hawaiian culture.
Upgrades like our:
- custom “Comfort Cruiser” vans
- “eco-friendly” policies and protocols
- personalized lunches (Vegan, Gluten Free options available)
- drivers making ALL the best stops – which always includes plenty of photo ops (and maybe taking a dip in the pools too!)…
…means we want to make sure you have your best day on Maui with us!
Only local, expert guides on VIE’s Road To Hana Tours!
Come, join us! We’re all about the shaka (hang loose, relax) philosophy as you tour the Hana Highway the way it was meant to be experienced:
- through the eyes of incredibly knowledgeable, local guides
- in air conditioned comfort
- riding in our specially designed 12 passenger luxury vans (AKA: “Comfort Cruisers”)
- with a few special extras, (like private bathroom stops and a pre-ordered Hawaiian style BBQ lunch along the way!)
Our guides will treat you like ʻohana (family) and share their knowledge of Maui’s culture and lifestyle in a way no guidebook, CD or GPS ever could.
See, it isn’t just our responsibility – but our distinct privilege, as environmental and cultural stewards of these islands, to take care of you by eliminating the stress of driving and navigating this beautiful, oftentimes treacherous road – while reducing the number of cars on the Hana Highway. And, we do it with aloha!

VIE believes in the concept of “ malama ” the “ aina ” (caring for the land) by recycling everything… right down to:
- using the leftover cooler ice water for our landscaping
- switching to digital “everything” in the office
- going solar at our baseyard
- using our best mechanical minds to “tweak ” our Comfort Cruisers to be as comfortable and efficient as possible
- training our drivers how to properly save fuel
- constantly upgrading our cruisers, technology, protocols and the physical baseyard to increase efficiency and sustainability of VIE’s fleet and operations
In Hawai’i, people often bring “gifts” to people they visit. Being consistent with our “eco-friendly” protocols is our way of giving the island of Maui an eco-break.
Your “ gift ” is simply giving us the privilege of showing you truly one of the rarest and most special places on Earth… Maui’s Hana Highway.
