Itinerary

  1. Maui — As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;
  2. Keʻanae Peninsula is a breathtaking coastal stop known for its dramatic lava rock shoreline, crashing waves, and lush green scenery. This peaceful village area offers unforgettable ocean views and a glimpse of old Hawaiʻi charm. It’s a scenic photo stop and a beautiful place to feel the wild beauty of Maui’s coastline.
  3. Wai'anapanapa State Park — Wai'anapanapa State Park is home to Maui's most famous black sand beach and a park that includes several excellent examples of Maui's volcanic coast. Follow the signs to explore along the beach to spot the sea arch off shore and find the blowhole. This is also a place steeped in Hawaiian legend. It's a must-stop on the tour, with reservations required for entry.
  4. Hamoa Beach — Yes, you have your choice of beaches on the Road to Hana, but this little crescent shaped sandy beach is timed perfectly on the drive to stretch your legs and cool off or rest under a tree. While there are public bathrooms and showers, there are no lifeguards. When conditions are calm, it's family friendly, but always keep a close eye on the younger members of your party.
  5. Wailua Falls — There are almost countless waterfalls along the Road to Hana drive, as it winds its way through gulches and ravines along the side of the Haleakala Volcano. Beauty can be arbitrary, but for many, Wailua Falls is the most picturesque. Located between Hana and the Oheo Pools, be sure to stop and capture some classic pictures at this beautiful location.
  6. Hoʻokipa Beach is a scenic North Shore favorite known for powerful waves, ocean views, and world-class windsurfing. With its dramatic shoreline, fresh sea air, and frequent sea turtle sightings, it’s an unforgettable stop for photos, beach views, and watching Maui’s coastal energy up close.
  7. Ke'anae Arboretum — The Arboretum at Keanae is an easy, no-cost location where you can see a collection of tropical plants and trees. It takes less than 30 minutes to see and get pictures of the golden-stemmed bamboo, ginger, papaya and hibiscus. Continuing along the trail the follows the Piinaau Stream, leads walkers to to terraces that were created by ancient Hawaiians for taro cultivation. Perhaps the star of the show at the Arboretum is that you can get up close to the Rainbow Eucalyptus trees with its brightly colored bark, that looks too good to be true.
  8. Koki Beach — On the same turnoff that takes us to Hamoa Beach, we can stop and enjoy the view to the ex-cindercone that created the quirky-looking Alau Island, that sits about a quarter mile off Koki Beach. Not just a fun photo, this location is also steeped in Ancient Hawaiian legends about Pele - the Goddess of Volcanoes, and the demigod Maui.
