Explore Maui’s Road to Hana with a guide, waterfall stops, Waiʻānapanapa’s black sand beach, and a picnic-style lunch.
About this tour
Follow Maui’s legendary Road to Hana through a landscape of rainforest, waterfalls, plunging pools, and dramatic coastline. This small-group Maui Road to Hana tour travels in an air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, with space for up to 14 passengers and a knowledgeable chauffeur-guide sharing stories of Hawaiian culture and history.
Along the route, stop to admire waterfalls and visit the famous black sand beach at Waiʻānapanapa State Park. Your guide chooses a scenic spot for a picnic-style lunch, with a homemade ham, turkey, or veggie sandwich, plus Hawaiian cane juice, granola bars, and chips. If time allows, you may also stop at fruit stands. The tour includes pickup and drop-off at most hotels and resorts; some areas require meeting at a designated location. The Auntie Sandy’s stop may be substituted with Hana Farms when conditions require it, and routing or timing can change with traffic, weather, or closures.
Let a local guide handle the winding road and its 56 one-lane bridges as you take in the island’s scenery. Book your Maui Road to Hana tour for a full day of coastal views, cultural stories, and memorable stops.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.91 from 33 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 36% in Maui means it ranks in the top 36% of tours in Maui by this score.
