Explore Maui’s winding Road to Hana in a small-group Mercedes van, with waterfalls, black-sand scenery, a guide, and picnic lunch.

About this tour

Trade the city for a day on Maui’s legendary Road to Hana, where rainforest greenery, waterfalls, and dramatic coastline unfold around every bend. This small-group Maui Road to Hana tour travels in an air-conditioned Mercedes van with a knowledgeable driver-guide sharing stories of Hawaiian culture and history.

Wind along 617 curves and cross 56 one-lane bridges as the route leads toward waterfalls, distinctive sand beaches, and the famous black sands of Waiʻānapanapa State Park when access allows. There may be time to stop at local fruit stands, and the guide chooses a scenic spot for a picnic-style lunch with your selected ham, turkey, or veggie sandwich, plus snacks and drinks. Stops and timing can change with weather, traffic, road conditions, and closures; alternate attractions may be used when needed.

With a maximum of 14 guests, the Maui Road to Hana tour offers a relaxed way to take in the island’s changing landscapes without navigating the winding route yourself. Choose your sandwich, share your pickup details, and get ready for a memorable day on the road to Hana.

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 7.1.
