The tour is really good only 4 people on the tour, so that was great and the scenic beauty is really something you can't describe, BUT in my opinion, there was too much focus on telling us about the plant life AND not enough stopping for some photo ops supposedly there 50-60 foot waves in the ocean, but not in view from the van and that would have been something we all would have liked to see. It almost seemed as if our driver/tour guide was on a very tight schedule. I highly recommend doing the Road to Hana as a tour because I can see where driving it yourself would not be as enjoyable lots of tight turns, single lane roads and bridges...BUT nothing like you feel you are going to drive off the edge of a cliff.
