This tour was fabulous. It was only the 2 of us and another couple. Erik was super informative and we stopped at fascinating places, waterfalls, surfing spots, green turtles! He picked us up conveniently at the port. We learned so much about Hawaii!

We had an awesome tour with Erik and Maui Hoppin on our Halfway to Hana tour! When I was planning our trip in the early spring, Erik was quick to respond to questions via phone calls and texting. The weather the morning of our tour was awful - (thanks hurricane Hone) but Erik texted early that morning and offered to take us the next day instead - which turned out to be a beautiful day! It was easy to reach our pick up point across the street from the port. He showed us so many of the sights and highlights along the way. He was very knowledgeable about the places and history and shared many stories along the way. Erik also took lots of photos of everyone at all of our stops, provided snacks and water, and even stopped and bought fresh loaves of banana bread at Aunty Sandy’s for us to share - yum! We highly recommend Erik and Maui Hoppin for the Halfway to Hana tour!

We booked a private tour with Erik. It was just the three of us. We were sailing on Norwegian's Pride of America cruise ship. The cruise ship had a Road to Hana cruise for a similar price per person as what Erik charges. Why would I go on a tour bus with other cruisers when I can book a private tour with a local?? The night before, Erik texted me a meeting location. The walk to the meeting location was only about 10 minutes. It was on paved streets so nothing crazy. We asked he meet us at 9 a.m. so we would have plenty of time to make it back to the ship before it sailed. Erik picked us up in a brand new SUV which was super comfortable. He had snacks and drinks ready for us. So here is our take on this tour: If you’re looking to turn your Maui trip into a highlight reel, book a day with Erik from Maui Hopping. Seriously, this guy knows how to turn a good tour into a great one. And he is an awesome photographer to boot! We hit all the must-see spots—black sand beaches, red sand beaches, and a waterfall. In fact, the red sand beach was closed. Someone had fallen the night before. Erik was able to talk with some locals and still get us there. We had delicious banana bread (still warm), some local bananas and ice cream, and a very delicious meal at some local food trucks. The scenery alone is worth the trip, but what really makes it unforgettable is Erik. He’s got that rare combo of chill and knowledgeable, making sure everyone’s having a blast while dropping local insights like a pro. By the end of the day, you'll be swapping stories like old friends. Even my teenage son was engaging in the conversation! In a nutshell, if you’re in Maui and want to experience it in all its glory, do yourself a favor and book this tour.
