Maui Jeep Tours

If you ask me what I think paradise is like, my answer would be: "it's just like Maui". This wonderful island is one of the most picturesque in Hawaii and has an infinite number of beautiful places to visit and a wide range of things to see and do.

If you are going to spend a few days in Maui, I recommend you to take a jeep tour, as it is an excellent way to visit the most interesting places in a comfortable way and with the taste of adventure that off-road vehicles give through the tropical jungles of the region.

Jeep tours of Maui are generally done partially along the road to Hana, one of the activities not to be missed if you are visiting the island and also exploring other sites of interest, such as bamboo forests, rainforests and waterfalls.

In this type of excursion, as a general rule, half of the Road to Hana is covered, so that visitors can get to know and appreciate this winding road with more than 600 curves, but also giving the possibility of visiting other places of tourist interest.

If your intention is to do the entire Road to Hana, it is best to choose a specific tour for that destination. There are several options for tours along the Road to Hana that you are sure to love.

Maui jeep tours are mostly private, meaning just you and your group, no strangers outside your party.

This type of tour is a very personalized option, in which you will ride at your own pace and with the guide exclusively for you and your companions. Generally, each vehicle can carry up to five people plus the driver. If your travel group is larger than five people, no problem, you can book two vehicles.

Another advantage of this type of excursion is that you are picked up and taken back to your hotel. In some cases also to the port or airport, if you coordinate it in advance (there may be extra costs).

If you need a transfer to or from the airport you also have specific Maui airport transfer options for hire.

As a general rule, jeep excursions last approximately eight hours, although in the case of private tours, sometimes you can coordinate with the guide if you want it to last more or less. Part of the time is set aside for lunch on the road to Hana and the cost of food is included in the price of most of the tours.

You should keep in mind that jeep tours, being quite long, usually start early, around seven in the morning to make the best use of the day. If you do not like to get up early, check other possible departure times before booking.
