We spent quite a bit of time at two restaurants for breakfast and lunch to the point it impacted the amount of time we had for the actual drive to Hana. Several times we pulled over the side of the road and did not get out of the van and handed our cameras to the driver so he could take pictures out of his open window. There were other tourists and tour groups that had stopped to see waterfalls and other sites, for the most part we did not. We got off the bus twice and were promised an opportunity to take a short swim we brought towels and bathing suits but this too never happened and we were never told why. Really wished we have travelled with one of the other companies,
This was a great tour, we had talked about driving ourselves but are so glad we did not. The road has alot of constant turns and would have been hard to pay attention to what we were seeing. Our driver had lots of experience driving the Road to Hana and lots of good information.
A wonderful trip despite the rain. Wonderful, very well informed guide. Old Hawaii at its best. Too much rain prevented swimming in the pool below the waterfall, as the water was brown coming over the falls.
