About this tour
Take the road less traveled on a self-guided drive through Maui’s Hana region. This reverse-route audio tour begins in Kula Town and heads toward the rarely explored back side of Hana, where waterfalls, hikes, and scenic viewpoints invite you to stop and explore.
The Shaka Guide app provides GPS turn-by-turn directions and automatically plays narration as you drive. Hear stories, travel tips, and Hawaiian music, with recommendations for activities and restaurants along the way. Choose your own stops, skip the ones that don’t appeal, and pause or resume whenever you like. Download the map and audio before setting out, then follow the route offline. One tour covers everyone in your vehicle, and it never expires.
This Maui Road to Hana audio driving tour is currently available on Saturdays and Sundays because of a road closure. Start in Kula Town, keep GPS enabled, and check current access details before your trip; the Hana Lava Tube is closed until further notice as of April 2026. Set off on your own schedule and discover the route at your pace.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.73 from 15 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 6.9.
