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.

The impressive bamboo forest on the side of Hana Highway on the way to Hana.

Ke‘anae Point

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. It’s also the site of the famous Half Way to Hana Snack stand; shave ice, fresh coconut, cold drinks and of course the Original Fresh Baked Banana Bread. The Keanae overlook and peninsula offer views of one of the largest taro farms in Hawaii.

Waikani Falls

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.

Upper Waikani Falls

Beautiful waterfall along the side of the highway.

Wai'anapanapa State Park

• Wainapanapa is Maui’s famous Black Sand Beach. Cobalt blue Ocean surrounded by black sand and black lava rocks from a recent flow only 10,000 years ago. Go for a walk along the edge of the bay and check out the blue water or just sit under a nice shade tree. This location is a great place to spend an hour relaxing, taking in one of the islands most beautiful locales. Fresh Water Caves and Lava Tubes • We take you to volcanic caves which you could explore. And if you are lucky you could witness the legend of the caves come alive. Certain time of the year red shrimp appear, turning the water red. Let our tour guides tell you the legend of Princess Popoalaea

Pua'a Ka'a State Park

It is fairly easy to access the waterfall from here. Some people like to take a dip in the chilly waters by the waterfall and on a hot day. Wear swim suit layered and bring change of clothes. Don't forget the towels.

Wailua Falls

Wailua Falls is perhaps the tallest roadside waterfall on the Hana Highway. This is most popular waterfalls and most congested. For everyones safety we will make a stop here if it is safe to do so if there is a parking. stop made upon request.

Laulima Farm

Often called Seven Sacred Pools, Oheo Gulch is famous for it's beautiful 7 pools which is a name coined decades ago by the owner of what is now Travaasa Hana (previously Hotel Hana Maui) for the purpose of marketing this deservingly spectacular (but then unknown) remote location to tourists.

We totally enjoyed Lisa Parker’s personality, congeniality, attention to including all of us as Ohana. We appreciated her knowledge of the local flora and fauna and history of the area. Would highly recommend this tour.

I really hate to leave a negative review as I’m usually the first person to shrug off a bad experience, but this tour just did not work for my husband and me. I decided to book a Road to Hana tour rather than driving ourselves for a couple of reasons - I wanted us both to be able to look around the entire way rather than focusing on the road, and much moreso I usually LOVE having a tour guide for places like the Road to Hana because of all the special local knowledge a guide should have ranging from local culture to nature to history. While we did see the entire Road to Hana loop, our guide Lea knew next to nothing about the sites. She jumped around from topic to topic and was honestly really confusing and unclear, offering nothing of any substance. She was completely unable to answer any questions about the Road to Hana sites or the Hawaiian culture. She didn’t seem to have any training or education about the tour she was leading at all. Other than the names and locations of points of interest, there was literally nothing added. I realize this is different than most of the reviews listed here, so maybe we were just unlucky with our particular guide. But with this day costing over $400, I’d much rather have just driven it ourselves and been able to go at our own pace rather than having to stick to a tour schedule when there was really no other benefit to the experience. It was pretty disappointing as I read many reviews of this tour mentioning that the guides were super knowledgeable and added so much local color and knowledge to their experience. I honestly felt this transparency about our experience will help others, so wanted to leave my two cents here.

The entire trip was wonderful. All the stops to visit the waterfalls, Hana farms, Hana, Black Sand Beach, and the back road to West Maui. Justin our driver was an excellent guide and driver. He made it fun and was very knowledgeable as he grew up in the area.
