This beautiful old Hawaiian church was built in 1859 and recently restored. The 4x4 access road leads you to a beautiful peninsula with epic ocean views in front and rolling hills behind you. A spiritual experience not to be missed.

"Laulima" literally translates to "many hands." This lush, organic family farm includes a roadside stand with unique and exotic fruits such as Jackfruit, Ice-Cream Bananas and Soursop, along with many others. Don't miss the secluded dining area, surrounded by a grove of bamboo trees.

Charles Lindbergh's Grave

Enjoy the most eastern part of Maui, which receives the first rays of the morning sun. "When walking around this area, please be respectful of the land and the people that use the church on a regular basis. This is a special place for those that live here." Road to Hana website

Ohe'o Gulch

Commonly known as "The Seven Sacred Pools," this area is part of the Haleakala National Park and not accessible to commercial tour operations. However, you'll have a great view of rushing falls while driving over a picturesque bridge on the famed highway.

Wailua Falls

"Cascading approximately 80 feet down the side of a lush jungle wall into to a lovely plunge pool, this is easily one of Maui's most accessible and majestic falls." Road to Hana website

Koki Beach

Koki beach, with it's intriguing red sand, is one of those beaches that are pretty to look at, but in which we don't recommend you go swimming. Conditions can be quite hazardous due to riptides and high surf. Have cameras at the ready to capture the views from this beach, including Alau Island, a natural sanctuary for the 'iwa seabird. If this is where you this is where you choose to lunch, the you'll find delectable huli huli chicken and pork from a beachside stand.

Hana

This quaint, historic town is the namesake of the Road to Hana, yet blink three times and you'll miss it! Hana has remained relatively unchanged since the early days of Hawaii, and its residents work very hard to keep it traditional and authentic. Respect and aloha go a long way when visiting Hana! We don't usually actually stop here, but let us know if that's on your list!

Wai'anapanapa State Park

Commonly known as Black Sand Beach, and one of the most popular stops on Road to Hana, you'll want the full experience at this rare, natural feature. “The black volcanic sand beach is a highlight at this state park in Maui, Hawaii, but there’s plenty more to see, including caves, [a blow hole]...and a natural stone arch. Wildlife is abundant, and on any given day you might see an incredible seabird colony or watch the park’s tide pools turn crimson with the arrival of thousands of tiny shrimp.” – National Geographic

Hana Lava Tube

Descend into the cool, dark abyss and enjoy some peaceful time in this natural wonder. The half-mile round trip, 30-minute self-guided tour will show you many forms and variations of cooled lava in unique configurations. Rare stalactites, "the bowling alley" lava flow and dripping "chocolate fudge," all frozen in time. Use your flashlight to spot the glittering pyrite, or "fool's gold," throughout. There is an additional entrance fee for this feature.

Hanawi Falls

A beautiful falls surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation, get your camera ready, but leave your swimsuits and hiking shoes in the car... with danger of rockslides and flash floods down below, this aquatic rush is best seen from a distance.

Pua'a Ka'a State Park

If, "swim in a waterfall," is on your bucket list, this is the stop for you! An easily accessible waterfall in a picturesque park, the adventurous can swim in the pool below the falls. There are picnic benches nearby if you're feeling snacky, as well as a convenient restroom.

Makapipi Falls

Another amazing view along the Road to Hana, Makapipi Falls is especially breathtaking after recent rain. It runs right under one of the many bridges on Hana Highway, and plummets into a striking blue pool below. Get your cameras ready!

Upper Waikani Falls

Also known as "Three Bears" waterfall, these beautiful falls are visible from the road and triple your viewing pleasure.

Wailua Valley State Wayside Park

Wailua Valley Overlook offers a quick stop that's blink-and-you'll-miss-it...but we won't let you miss it! Look for the "hidden" steps and walk up to the overlook that gives you an expansive, breathtaking view of azure ocean and emerald landscape like nowhere else.

Ke‘anae Point

Ke'anae is an historic village, where you will find taro patches that have grown there for generations. The peninsula is well-known for its many picture-ready locations, crashing surf and rugged terrain. "On your drive down, you'll pass a stone church built in 1856, the only remaining building after the devastating tsunami of 1946, which killed twenty four people when waves topping 35 feet crashed into the village with no warning. Following this tragedy, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center was implemented, which still sits on Oahu's Ewa Beach." Maui Information Guide You will also find our favorite, warm, oven-fresh, baked-daily banana bread on Maui at this picturesque location!

Garden of Eden Arboretum & Botanical Garden

"Maui’s scenic wonderland on the road to Hana!" Maui Garden of Eden Walk through 26 acres of nature trails and stunning vistas. Stop by the waterfall overlook, as well as the spot where they filmed the opening for Jurassic Park. Look out for local wildlife, including peacocks, ducks and mongoose. Separate entrance fee required for admittance to this feature.

Ho'okipa Beach Park

A world-renowned beach for surfers and windsurfers, as well as a resting spot for sea turtles, Ho'okipa is a favorite stop for our guests. Take in the view from the lookout up top, or venture down the path to the beach and discover that all those "boulders" were actually turtles!

Paia

Paia is a former plantation town, with an eclectic array of buildings, food and people. A picturesque way to end your tour, and a great place to come back for good food and live music.

Our tour guide Daisy was great. We stayed at the Hotel Wailea and she picked us up at 7 am. We stopped at a store to get breakfast before the long day ahead of us. Daisy took us on the reverse road to Hana and we stopped at several locations we would had not known to stop if we decided to drive the road our self. There were several spots along the road that were difficult to navigate but Daisy did great. She took us to a black sand beach and a natural swimming spot under a water fall. We also got lunch at Hana Farms which was delicious. The whole tour took us from about 7 am - 530 pm so it was a full day but we were happy to have Daisy helping navigate us to the best spots and provide great cultural background. Would definitely reccomend to a friend

Where to begin? We had a really difficult time with our guide Bill. The man had very poor communication and conservational skills. Bill never asked us a single question about ourselves past ‘where are you from?’ or what we would like to do on the tour. In fact, with the exception of parts of a few stories everything that came out of Bill’s mouth felt like it was meant to prove that he (Bill) was smart and good and everyone around him (especially tourists) are stupid and bad. I know that probably sounds like an overreach, but I promise it isn’t. For example, we asked him about how COVID effected the islands and he told us everyone thought it was the best thing ever because there were no tourists. Stories about windmills, road construction, restaurants, box lunches etc. all ended with an exasperated ‘but no one asks me’ after explaining how stupid things are. It was also off-putting that Bill seemed to think he was Hawaiian even though he was born on the mainland because he’s lived here for 20 years. Uh, I don’t think that’s how it works Bill. Another example. My wife told Bill in the beginning we wanted to see the red sand beach. He said we would be able to go but then as we were driving past she had to ask if he would stop. He did stop, but clearly he didn’t listen to us earlier or he didn’t care. When she told him she assumed he would have reservations for the park we were stopping at that required them he said in a very condescending way “you know what ASSUME means right?”. If this was his way of joking it really didn’t go over well. Another time, she opened a bottle of Diet Coke. He immediately interrogated us “WHY did we do that?” (As if only a stupid person would bring a bottle of Diet Coke on a 10 hour car ride). After all, he had brought drinks in a cooler in the back. How about just saying “great just so you know I also brought some drinks for you if you are interested.”? Then there was the driving. I am not the kind of guy that is safety conscious and yet Bill’s driving was over-the-top aggressive and bad. When a driver wasn’t driving fast enough for Bill he would ride their bumper 5 feet away, honk, and complain to us about how terrible it was for the locals. At one point, we passed a driver coming from the opposite direction that had pulled over and stopped on a narrow stretch to let us pass. Bill lectured the guy about how there was a yield sign. I didn’t understand what the issue was. The guy stopped and pulled over. What did Bill want him to do? There was a good hour spent like this. For me it was uncomfortable, if you get nervous with aggressive driving then it’s likely to freak you out. Bill interacted with others throughout the trip and they seemed to love him. Maybe it was a bad day or maybe it was because they are locals - the people Bill likes. For us between the constant negativity and the aggressive driving the whole 8 hours was uncomfortable. I am a big tipper. In 25 years of ‘adulting’ I have never stiffed a server at a restaurant or a tour guide even when service isn’t great or is outright bad because I have been there and know what it’s like to have a bad day. That is no longer true. What I wanted from a guide was ‘island chill’, what I got was condescending ‘you fill in the blank’.

Aloha bsucho, thank you for letting us know about your experience with your guide. While we hope that every guest will have a 5 star adventure, we recognize that may not always be the case, and appreciate the opportunity to address this. Please know that I take your complaint to heart, and I sincerely apologize that you and your wife had such a bad experience. I understand your frustrations, from the lack of communication that is needed to build connection between guide and guests, to the driving that made you feel uncomfortable, and more. I would have been very upset in your place, as well. What you experienced is not in line with the values and commitment we have made at Hoaloha to always be pono, or do the right thing. We are taking steps to ensure that future guests will not have the same experience you unfortunately had. Please give us a call at 888.493.4060 and ask for Marcus, or you can email me at [email protected], so we can discuss the situation and make it right.

We loved our reverse Hana tour! Mike, our guide, was friendly, personable, and knew all the little spots to get to that were away from the crowd. The reverse allowed us to beat lots of the crowds going through the north first.
