The trip to Hana is frequently listed on sites, including TA's, as touristy
But our trip with Jaime, our HI born driver and tour guide extraordinaire, was so far from being that. In the first place she was an excellent driver of what is an extremely challenging drive to the quaint and historic town of Hana. Her love of Maui evidenced by combining her depth of knowledge about its flora, geography, and its people, was a performance that was quite unexpected for a"tourist " trip, and left us after 10 hours with a superb appreciation of this world heritage class-locale. Her tales of her family roots here intertwined with a running commentary of history and politics, agriculture and tourism, added immensely to the impact of this first visit to this most special Hawaiian island. Thank you Jaime and Sean for providing this heart felt experience to visitors and sharing with us why this place is so deserving of every effort of preserving what is "Aloha" to Hawaiians.
