Maui road to Hana tour

This tour was wonderful and the experience wouldn’t have been the same without this app. Especially for road to Hana , where there isn’t cell service and lots to see , this app was amazing and we really enjoyed the trip

This was the best investment we made in our Hawaii trip! We bought the Road to Hana tour and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Must have for Maui!

We downloaded this specifically for the Road to Hana but were pleasantly surprised to use it for both sunrise at Haleakalā and exploring West Maui! This app let us get a more in depth experience while touring the island that you just can’t get from reading a guidebook. Highly recommend!!

Yes! Feel free to join the tour along the route. Just make sure that you follow the numbers in chronological order from where you are starting from.  If you don’t begin at one of the tour starting points you’ll miss a few stories, but you’ll still have a great experience.
Can I take the Loop Road to Hana tour in the opposite direction?
No, this tour can only be done clockwise, beginning in Kahului and ending in Kula. If you’d like to start the tour in Kula and end near the airport in Kahului, try our Reverse Road to Hana tour.
What if I am spending the night in Hana?
Great! This means you can really take your time and break the tour up into two days. Just switch the tour off when you arrive in Hana, and turn it back on when you’re ready to get on the road the next day.
Is it safe to drive the Road to Hana at night?
Yes, however, on this tour you won’t be driving on the Road to Hana at night; unless you get a really late start (which we don’t recommend). You’ll end the tour in Kula Town and from there you can plug in directions back to your hotel. However, this tour travels on some dirt roads along coastal cliffs, so although you're not going to be on the Road to Hana, we recommend you start early to avoid driving these roads at night. Check out our suggested itinerary to learn more about planning your day to avoid driving at night.
