What To Expect

Hana Highway - Road to Hana

Relax and let us pamper you as a VIP guest to show you the beauty on a road trip to magical Hana. On this exclusive full-day adventure designed for just 14 guests, you'll enjoy the best banana bread you can get in Maui, refresh with a waterfall swim, stroll unique sand beaches and swim at the most famous black sand beach at the Wainapanapa State Park. During our expedition aboard a luxurious air-conditioned van, your driver will select a perfect lunch spot with a local Speciality. We serve a full lunch plate with Hawaiian juices and locally grown fruit. If time allows, we will stop at fruit stands with fresh fruits and vegetables for you to buy.

Paia

Just four miles into your drive to Hāna from Kahului, you'll discover the historic town of Pāʻia on Maui's north coast. Divided into Lower Pāʻia and Pāʻia, this hospitable community was once a booming plantation town during the heyday of Maui's sugar cane industry. Today Pāʻia is a town of colorful, rustic storefronts filled with local art galleries, one-of-a-kind shopping boutiques and restaurants.

Ho'okipa Beach Park

A perfect spot for a light breakfast when spotting local surfers and wild turtles and taking pictures of the famous Northshore coastline. Lavatories are available.

Twin Falls

is the first easily accessible string of waterfalls and pools on the Road to Hana

Haipua'ena Falls

is a small waterfall and pool along Maui's popular Road to Hana. Thanks to the unsigned trail and short hike over an often muddy path, the pool receives far less visitor traffic than the well-signed falls along the route.

Ke‘anae Point

The Ke’anae Peninsula was created from an immense lava flow originating from Haleakala Crater. Centuries ago Hawaiians brought soil down, by hand, from the mountains to create the Keanae Peninsula. Their amazing display of physical labor is a testament to how revered this land is in Hawaiian culture. It is no wonder so much history is found here!

Ching's Pond

very photogenic spot to get photographed doing something life threatening

Upper Waikani Falls

Upper Waikani Falls is often referred to as Three Bears, thanks to the three separate but parallel falls of differing lengths—with the third and smallest being the “baby bear” falls on the right.

Wailua Falls

Wailua Falls is so noticeable in fact, that it may be the most photographed waterfalls on Maui.

Hana Lava Tubes

are formed when massive flows cool on the surface forming an insulating conduit for the lava flowing underneath. During the creation of Maui’s volcanic landscape these served like the veins of the volcano, channeling lava for many miles underground before being deposited as new landmass (in this case, into the ocean.) After a volcano has been dormant for some time, these tubes usually begin to cave in and disappear under the forces of nature. Since much of the surface of Maui formed long ago, we have few lava tubes of significant size remaining; Ka’eleku Cave is the largest known accessible lava tube on Maui.

Hana Bay

located within Hana Bay is Hana Beach Park, which has a long black-sand beach and is the safest swimming beach along the East Maui coast. The bay is protected by a coral reef and harbored from big swells by its curved shape.

Pua'a Ka'a State Park

Pua'a Ka'a Falls (rolling pig) resides in the Pua’a Ka’a State Wayside Park, which made it one of the rare waterfalls on the Hana Highway. Swim at your own discretion and risk in the freshwater pools. Lavatories are available.

Wailua Valley State Wayside Park

Wailua Valley is an ahupuaʼa that sits just after the Keanae peninsula on the road to Hana. The area, though small, is rich in Hawaiian culture. It is here that an abundance of rare culturally significant fish and plant life can still be found. The area holds many ancient taro, or kalo, patches; a number of which are still in operation. In Hawaiian legend, taro is literally the older brother of all Hawaiians. And, so “Mahiʼaiʼana”, or cultivation of the land, is an ingrained principle that has endured for the people of Wailuanui.

Honomanu

Right beyond Kaumahina State Wayside Park you'll find a pullout that gives a good view of Honomanu Bay.

Kaumahina State Wayside Park

Beautiful views of the Keanae Peninsula, lavatories are available.

I dragged my late teen daughter out of bed for a 6am pick up- and about 1/2 way Through the day, she said this is a really fun day this is the best day so far! That’s a very high compliment coming from a teen by the way LOL. This trip was amazing! Pauline is so experienced, knowledgeable, and just a really down to earth person. Not to mention, a great driver! The bus was super comfortable, plenty of bathroom breaks, photo ops, snacks ,lunch water. As you are going through any part of Maui on your way to the road to Hana, and while on the road to Hana, she gives you all kinds of history and information about the area. We had had such a good time -could not have asked for a better day.

The tour was awesome and the guide was hilarious. I’m glad I didn’t drive. Everything was beautiful and it was a great way to see lots of Maui all in one day. Thank you for making this the best experience ever.
