Excellent Road to Hana tour with Pono and Open Eye Tours
Dec 2024 • Family
Late in December of 2024, our family scheduled a guided Road to Hana tour with Open Eye Tours. Pono had called us several weeks in advance to discuss our interests and to learn more about what we wanted to see and what we liked in regards to snacks and food. We weren't sure what to expect during our tour but Pono far exceeded any expectations we could have had. He greeted us with lei's that were handmade from materials he had grown on his own farm. He also had homemade snacks and fresh fruit that he had also grown on his own farm. He was very friendly and personable and immediately made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The tour that he took us on led us to both places that we had requested to see as well as other places that he knew about. All of them were spectacular. Pono filled our day with amazing sights, interesting facts about history, and insights on culture and language. Pono shared songs and experiences that made our tour very memorable. If we ever get the chance to visit Maui again, we would definitely ask Pono to give us another tour and share more of his knowledge and friendliness with us.
