Super fun time cruising in a VW Bus
We had an amazing time cruising in the vintage VW Bus. My daughter wants a vintage vw bus really bad so we booked this trip. The buses are so cool! It exceeded our expectations. The brewery was good and the beaches they took us to were beautiful. I would totally recommend this tour.

Bus, Beach, Brews!
We had an amazing time on the Brewery & Beach Cruise . My wife & I were picked up by our driver Jay. He made us feel welcome from the moment he arrived. He had a great knowledge of the island and was a great driver. The VW van is amazing, restored to perfection and embodies the island vibe.
We were chauffeured to the Maui Brewing Co. & treated to a delicious lunch. We highly recommend the pork sliders!
We then jumped back into the bus and took a scenic drive down the southern Maui coastline to the lava fields.
We were treated to complimentary drinks while enjoying the scenic drive.
The open top allows you to enjoy the Island air & beautiful scenery. The van is a head turner, everywhere we went people were waving and taking pictures. It made us feel like the coolest people on the island!
If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy a day cruising the Island of Maui, then this is the tour to book. Thank you Jay & Aloha Pixabus, Mahalo!

This tour was amazing! Our guides were entertaining and knowledgeable. Riding around in an Old VW is a whole vibe. The Maui Brewing Company had amazing beer and the fish tacos were mouth watering delicious. Go ahead and book it, you won't be disappointed

About vw buses
Why We Still Love The VW Vintage Bus
A Brief History & Enduring Fame
First introduced in the 1950s, the VW Bus quickly gained fame not just for its clever, boxy design and spacious interior, but because it perfectly captured the rebellious spirit of the 1960s and 70s. It became the ultimate symbol of the counterculture movement, adopted by surfers, adventurers, and music-festival goers (like those at Woodstock). Its affordability, simple mechanics, and vast interior made it the ideal "home on wheels" for people looking to break free from convention and embrace a more carefree life. Today, seeing one instantly triggers feelings of nostalgia, laid-back adventure, and optimism. Its friendly, rounded face and charming rumble remind us that sometimes, the journey itself is the best destination.
A NOTE FROM LENORA
Why You Should Hop Onboard?
Hello there! I'm LeNora, and I’m a genuine 1973 VW Bus—the real deal. I’m not fast, and I certainly don’t have a flashy sound system, but I have something much better: soul. When you step inside me, you’re stepping back in time to an era of 'hang loose' ease. You'll feel the ocean breeze through my windows, hear the happy rhythm of my air-cooled engine, and instantly shed the stresses of modern life.
I’ve been lovingly restored so I can give you a true, authentic slice of the past right here on the gorgeous South Maui coast. Forget the GPS; let's just cruise, let your hair down, and make some timeless memories together! I'm waiting to start your adventure.

Here are some common questions
For our shared group tours, small detours might be possible depending on the time, weather, and traffic conditions. Feel free to ask your tour guide, but please understand we can’t guarantee every request will be fulfilled, as we need to be fair to all guests.
If you have a specific bucket list of places you really want to see, we'd be very happy to schedule you on a private and custom tour! That way, you can visit all your desired spots: Your tour, your way!
We offer a full refund in certain situations.
- If Aloha Pixabus cancels your trip for any reason, you’ll get 100% of your money back.
- If you cancel your booking at least 24 hours before your scheduled tour date, you’ll also get a 100% refund—no questions asked.
If you need to cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, we unfortunately cannot offer a refund because we will have already committed payments to our guides and vendors for your trip. However, we are happy to offer you the chance to join our next available tour date, space permitting. Just know that we can’t guarantee immediate availability.
We do not have infant carseats and there's no seat belts in this passenger bus - it was belt way before seatbelt mandate ;)
While our Vintage VW Tour is chauffeured for pure enjoyment and designed to be a carefree, "hang loose" experience—it is not a traditional guided tour with scripted stops and historical lectures. Your friendly driver will certainly point out sights and offer local insights, and you will absolutely learn a thing or two about the island and its beach culture simply by cruising its stunning coast. Furthermore, our stop at Maui Brewing Co. provides a dedicated opportunity to taste and learn about the local craft beer scene from the experts there! The focus, however, remains on experiencing Maui's vintage vibe, not studying its history.
