We really enjoyed our tour with Uncle Mitch. We were a small group of eight so had a lot of chances to ask questions and learn about Maui and the sights we were visiting. The only negative was being dropped off at the mall for lunch. A local restaurant or food truck would have been better but not a dying mall.

Carly was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The trip to the top of the volcano and state park was wonderful. Thanks for the breathing tips.
