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

We had a really memorable day with our awesome driver Eddie. We learned so much about various areas of Maui and its history along our way to Hana. I am so glad Eddie was driving and not me - he worked the road like a pro and was very respectful of the locals in the area. We picked up breakfast and lunch early on. The breakfast sandwich was good, but I wish that we could have been provided lunch from a spot later on during the trip closer to or in Hana where there are many interesting local options on offer. We got to explore and swim in a few waterfalls along the way and had a little over an hour to explore the National Park with black sand beach, which was gorgeous! We could have used more time there. Overall we learned a lot during our excursion and had a good number of opportunities to stretch our legs and explore some beautiful sites. If you're going to Maui, you can't miss out on a trip to Hana. I highly recommend a tour as you'll learn more, see more and most rental companies won't insure you to drive there on your own. An experienced local driver is important. There's so much beauty and history to explore along the way! We had a fabulous day!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Road to Hana tour. The van was clean and comfortable, the food was good, and there were plenty of stops for viewing, restrooms breaks, etc. Our guide was fantastic! If you want to take this tour - be sure to ask for DAVID CHENOWETH. He was friendly, and knowledgeable. His commentaries and sense of humor made the tour informative and fun. Most importantly, he was a SAFE driver. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable. Although long, this tour is one you really need to take if you want to learn about what makes Maui so beautiful and unique. Well worth a day of your vacation.

The road to Hana is treacherous and busy. We decided to outsource the driving and enjoy the views and couldn't have been happier. Our guide, Eddie, did a fantastic job navigating the 600 some turns and 50 whatever one lane bridges with plenty of stops along the way. This is one of the few companies that takes you completely around the island. Most stop just past Hana and turn around to go back. It's a rough ride after that (which is why your rental car agency will tell you not to do it) but still some great back country views. We would definitely book these guys again.
