Everything You Need To know About Our Maui Tours

What's the difference between tours with Local Maui Tours and tours with other Maui tour companies?

Local Maui Tours is a small business that specializes in private, customized tours of Maui. Our tours are always privately run with only your private group of up to 7 people. 

Local Maui Tours was founded by and is run by Kellen Ferguson, who was born and raised on Maui. His extensive knowledge of the island is unique and offers tourist a much richer experience of Maui. Many other tour companies are not run by Maui locals and as a result the most exclusive hidden gems of Maui are not included in their tours. 

Our tours are uniquely designed to get you to the places that other tour companies don’t. We pride ourselves on sharing some of Maui’s most incredible, hidden locations to ensure that your experience of Maui is from a local’s point of view. We get out of the vehicle at all of the important beautiful lookouts, and take you to areas that other Maui tour companies drive right past.
