If you believe the best way to truly know a place is through the eyes of those who live there, this tour was made for you. Our Locals’ Favorites Private Tour is created for travelers who want more than just resort views or cruise ship bars (by the way, we like those too!) — it’s for those who want to connect with the real Maui.
Led by a passionate Maui local tour guide, this experience takes you beyond the usual stops to places we actually go—where we eat, explore, relax, and celebrate what makes this island “No Ka ‘Oi” (the best). You’ll discover tucked-away waterfalls, small-town food gems, historic valleys, and coastal treasures that tell the story of everyday life in Maui.
