Tour Description
This tour starts with pickup at your hotel or condo in Maui. As soon as your guide opens the door for you, you will know you are in for a luxurious adventure.
We enjoy a light breakfast before taking the reverse circle route, around Haleakala, the huge mountain that dominates East Maui. We climb up to many thousands of feet above the ocean, traveling through beautiful Upcountry Maui towns and villages of Kula, Keokea, and Ulupalakua.
This road is less frequently traveled and even less so during the morning hours. The beauty of the wide-open landscapes of Mauiʻs backside and incredible stories will keep you entertained as you enter Hana through the back-door. This rough and adventurous road is not for the faint-hearted and you will be rewarded for your bravery.
Some of the best waterfalls, beaches, rainforest and ocean cliff views can be seen on this tour.
We take a break in the town of Hana and enjoy a sit-down lunch with a picturesque view at the Hana Ranch Restaurant. A wonderful Polynesian inspired meal of laulau, poke, teriyaki chicken, garden fresh salad, and dessert. Gluten-free and vegan options are available.
The tour continues through Hana with more rainforest and waterfall stops on the Hana Highway. You will have numerous opportunities to swim too!
This tour begins around 7 am and returns you back to your hotel or condo at about 6 pm for West Maui guests.
