Aloha! My name is Nick. I moved to Maui from the mainland and quickly started my own transportation service. I cherish the land here and enjoy boogie boarding and golfing on my days off. For 20 years, I've worked with my company providing tours for people from all over the world. It has been my sole job on the island. My favorite tour is the "highlights of the island tour" as it combines so many aspects of the island to give you a great overview of Maui. It allows for me to build a great day for you. Hawaii is a special place and Maui may be the best island. I focus on showing the authentic Hawaii. From the land, to the people to the sea. I'll educate you on the history of this great culture and leave you with a lasting memory of your time spent here. Fully licensed taxi tour guide. Fully insured with commercial insurance. There's no restrictions on the tours I offer. If you were to book a tour in Maui WITHOUT a permitted guide and permitted vehicle (which I provide) it'd be illegal. Make sure you read reviews and see pictures of the vehicles having PUC numbers/taxi permits.

Journey to Hawaii's past by experiencing the Hana Highway the way the locals do! In my opinion, the first half is the best half, for waterfalls and jungle abound. Relax and let me take the wheel so you can enjoy all the beauty the road has to offer. Our stop by Pua'a Ka'a Park (the name translates to "Rolling Pigs") will give you a chance to swim safely in a waterfall, as long as the conditions are right, of course. Even if you don't want to swim, you can easily access viewpoints to the three waterfalls in this park. There is a waterfall under a bridge, a small waterfall pool for easy swimming and a larger fall for cliff jumping. 20 years of driving the Hana Highway have made me an expert, and have given me the ability to provide a thorough and organized day for you! Trust me, this tour really lives out your imagination of what Hawaii should be.
Nick was awesome and we are a tough crowd! It ended up being five of us and my son stayed on the ship under the weather. We were supposed to start tour about two hours earlier than we did and Nick was a champ at reinventing our itinerary and giving us all the local experiences. He was excited to share all things Maui with us and was an outstanding driver. Thanks for a great day!
I'm not one to write reviews, but I need to give a shout out to Nicholas. He hit every mark on the tour. He even added a "special stop", after one member in our party mentioned an interest not scheduled on this tour. He did not have to do that, but it really meant a lot to my friend. I think he was as excited for us to see the highlights as we were to see them. From the pick-up at the cruise terminal to the drop-off, he shared more info about the history and culture than I ever expected. We have used TBL many times, but Nicholas is at the top of our list. You can't go wrong this tour or guide!!!
Nick was the perfect guide-knowledgeable, a good driver and took us to amazing places. I would highly recommend him to anyone going to Maui!
Great tour. Nick was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. Would definitely use him again.
Nick is very informative and answered all of our many questions. He would always ask if we wanted him to take our group photo. It was a six hour tour and we were all glad that we only went half way to Hana any longer and we would have been exhausted. I highly recommend the tour, it takes the stress out of driving and trying to find all the pullouts. Let Nick do the driving so you can enjoy the scenery!
Nick was an outstanding guide! He went out of his way to point out interesting views and explain history. Highly recommend!
