This Maui tour lasts about nine to ten hours and takes place in a luxury, air-conditioned Mercedes Benz Sprinter van with a maximum of 14 passengers. The professional driver-guide provides live commentary throughout the trip, sharing information about Hawaiian culture, history, and the island’s natural features. The tour follows the famous Road to Hana, a 64.4-mile coastal highway with 59 single-lane bridges and over 640 curves, passing through tropical rainforest and historic bridges mostly built around 1910. The van stops at several locations along the route. The first stop is the town of Paia, known for its local art galleries, shops, and colorful storefronts. Next is Ho'okipa Beach Park, where visitors can watch windsurfers and kiteboarders and may see Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles along the shore. The tour includes visits to several waterfalls: Twin Falls, the first easily accessible waterfalls on the Road to Hana; Haipua'ena Falls, a smaller waterfall with fewer visitors due to a short, sometimes muddy trail; Upper Waikani Falls, also called Three Bears, with three parallel falls of different sizes; and Wailua Falls, which can be viewed from the highway without leaving the vehicle. The tour also stops at Ke‘anae Point, a small Hawaiian village where guests can try fresh banana bread at a family-run food stand known for its original recipe. Other stops include Ching's Pond, Hana Lava Tubes where visitors can learn about volcanic formations, Hana Bay with its black sand beach protected by a coral reef, and Wai'anapanapa State Park, famous for its black sand beach, lava coastline, and panoramic views. Visitors may walk along the bay or relax under shade trees during a one-hour stop. The tour also visits Pua'a Ka'a State Park, where guests can swim near a waterfall; Wailua Valley State Wayside Park, known for its culturally significant taro patches and native plants; Honomanu Bay viewpoint; and Kaumahina State Wayside Park, a 7.8-acre forested area with exotic plants and the rainbow eucalyptus tree, noted for its colorful bark. Lunch is included and will be selected by the driver at an appropriate stop along the route. Food, beverages, and hotel pickup and drop-off are included for select locations. If time allows, the driver may stop at local fruit stands offering fresh fruits and vegetables for purchase. The van safely navigates 617 curves and 56 one-lane bridges on the journey. Guests should specify their lunch preference (ham, turkey, or veggie sandwich) when booking. Special diets are not accommodated, so guests with dietary restrictions should bring their own food. Hotel pickup and drop-off are available at many locations but not all; some guests must meet at designated meeting points. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and requires guests to board and exit the van independently. Child safety seats must be provided by guests when traveling with young children. The itinerary is subject to change due to weather, road conditions, or park closures. Wai'anapanapa Black Sand Beach will be visited whenever possible, with alternative stops if access is unavailable.
