Drive Maui’s Road to Hana at your own pace with offline GPS audio, Hawaiian stories, local tips, and flexible stops along the scenic route.

About this tour

Take the wheel for a full day on Maui’s legendary Hana Highway, where rainforest, waterfalls, and ocean views unfold around every bend. This self-guided Maui Road to Hana audio driving tour pairs GPS-triggered narration with turn-by-turn directions, Hawaiian history, legends, and local recommendations.

Begin near Kahului and follow the route through Hana to Kīpahulu, then return along the same scenic highway. Hear stories as you drive and choose which viewpoints, stops, and optional hikes suit your day. The suggested highlights include Twin Falls, Waiʻānapanapa State Park, the Pīpīwai Trail, and ʻOheʻo Gulch. Your schedule stays flexible: linger where you like or skip stops to keep moving.

Download the Shaka Guide app and tour over strong Wi-Fi before setting out; limited cell service along the route makes offline access useful. You’ll need your own vehicle, and a full day with an early start is recommended. Park reservations, entrance passes, and optional attraction fees are separate, and access can change with local conditions.

Set your own pace and discover Maui Road to Hana with stories and navigation ready whenever the road calls.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.66 from 264 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 6.0.
