The Road to Hana private tour features miles of lush tropical rainforests, beautiful waterfalls at every turn, narrow one-lane bridges, and, most importantly, our colorful and enduring cultural traditions kept by our elders (kapuna). Hana truly is a world unto itself. Discover its stories and ancient legends while experiencing the authentic hospitality of Hana with our cultural experts. Visitors can have the rare opportunity to mix with the people of Hana and experience cultural practices and traditions. You will travel through the very heart of Maui and all that makes Maui no ka oi (the best)! This magical experience will allow you to see both the scenic and cultural sides of the famous Hana Highway.
Enjoy your day along the road to Hana the way you want it to be. Have an experience that works for your groupʻs abilities, needs, and bucket list items. From romantic moments to fun family adventures, we can make this day personalized for you. Choose to add-on stops or take the standard tour. No matter what, it will be memorable.
Tours stop at the unique Waianapanapa State Park near Hana. Itʻs a beautiful black sand beach that is famous across the world. Sea arches, a sea-side walking trail, pathways, and a blowhole are found in this oceanside park. This park even has a small lava tube cave to explore!
Around most turns, there is a spectacular scene; vines, waterfalls, cliffs, beaches, rainforest trees, and flowers spread across a background of every variety of green you can think of. Throughout your journey through the rainforest, we will make numerous stops at overlooks, waterfalls and even roadside fruit stands.
Swimming is always a wonderful treat on vacation, and taking a dip in a cold, clear waterfall pool on a hot day is at the top of most visitorʻs plans. Some of the top-ranked beaches in the USA are along this amazing road which is also ranked as one of the top 5 scenic drives in the world! Your guide can make stops at some of the best places for you to enjoy the water.
Throughout the day, we are constantly making stops to enjoy the spectacular views. Feel the spray of the ocean, the light mist of rain or the rush of the trade winds. Each stop is a new and different experience and we will show you it all. Stand above ocean cliffs deep in the Hana rainforest or at the rugged shoreline with waves crashing about. There is so much to see and explore!
You can add even more to your standard day if you have some specific spots you want to visit. Stop by the Garden of Eden to check out a wide variety of plant species from around the world, or go to Kahana gardens to see an 800-year-old heiau, one of the largest and oldest. You can even visit a half mile long lave tube cave too. Let us know, and we can arrange your day special.
