My husband and I signed up for the Private Road to Hana with Eli. Unlike small group tours to Hana, we were able to spend a decent amount of time outside the vehicle exploring beaches, waterfalls and hiking on the Pipiwai Trail known for its bamboo forest. Since Eli also works in the film industry as location scout, he knows many secret and beautiful places in and around Maui. He was able to take us to one lava cave not really known by others. He knows where to look for the most magnificent rainbow eucalyptus tree which is hidden from the main road. Eli is also a big supporter of local farmers, and so we stopped at this small fruit stand and introduced us to lilikoi. The farmer had cut the top off and we were able to sample the fruit right there and then. These experiences made this whole Road to Hana trip very special. Having the right private guide and being able to request to customize itineraries made a huge difference. Thank you, Awapuhi Adventures, for this amazing experience!
