Road to Hana Day Trip

Overview

The Hāna Highway is a 64.4-mile long stretch of spectacular views of rainforest, waterfalls, beaches and coastline. On the east after Kalepa Bridge, the highway continues to Kīpahulu on the Piilani Highway. Although Hāna is only about 52 miles from Kahului, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive when no stops are made as the highway is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hāna, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910 and all but one are still in use. This full-day trip to the Hana coast has the best scenic drive along the shorelines of Maui.

small Hawaiian villages doing their best to live like the Hawaiians of old. Hunting pigs and growing taro, bread fruit, and Bananas are all big parts of everyday life in this small community.

The Keanae overlook and peninsula offer views of one of the largest taro farms in Hawaii.

A very popular set of falls because it is photogenic and situated like a drive-thru right on the road. We do have the upper waterfalls which is also called the Three Bears Waterfalls.

We had a great time on this tour even though the weather was not great. Our tour guide Kai was friendly, responsible, knowledgeable about Hawaii, funny and considerate. The tour provided bottles of water, breakfast, snack and lunch. We saw beautiful scenery of Maui and took lots of photos. Kai made sure that we were all comfortable. We felt safe in his car even during pouring rain since he is a good driver and very familiar with the road. I am glad that I did not drive myself even though I rented a car since the road is narrow and windy. It would have been very stressful driving and seeing the scenery at the same time. I highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide, Kaipo, was so lively and upbeat. As a native of Maui, he knew so much about each part of the island. The day trip is relatively long (about 10 hours), but so worth it. The views from the South side of the island, past Hana, were our favorite. He gave stellar recommendations from a local perspective, and was very accommodating. There was quite a bit of rain on the drive, but with a tour guide like Kaipo, we couldn’t haven’t asked for a better day. Thank you!

Kaipo (sp?) our driver was friendly and very accommodating. We were a group of 3 adults, 2 seniors and 2 children and we had a blast seeing the “real” side of Maui. This trip has many different views from waterfalls, beaches, plants, trees, and more. A must do for any first timers in Maui.
