Wind Maui’s lush Road to Hana in a Mercedes van, with waterfall stops, black sand shores, local stories, and a picnic-style lunch.

About this tour

Trade Maui’s familiar shoreline for a day of winding roads, cascading waterfalls, and volcanic coast on the Road to Hana. This small-group journey travels in an air-conditioned Mercedes van, where live commentary brings the island’s landscapes and history into focus.

Follow hairpin curves and cross one-lane bridges as the scenery shifts to bamboo forests and lush tropical greenery. Stop at a waterfall for an optional swim when weather permits, then visit Waiʻānapanapa State Park and its striking black sand beach whenever access allows. The route may change with weather, traffic, closures, or reservations, and some stops may be replaced with comparable alternatives.

Along the way, enjoy a picnic-style deli sandwich with your choice of ham, turkey, or veggie, accompanied by snacks, water, Hawaiian cane juice, and pastries. Pickup is offered at most Lahaina resorts or select park-and-ride locations. Choose the Maui Road to Hana tour for a scenic day shaped by local stories and dramatic island views.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.73 from 198 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 6.5.
