Show MoreMost Road to Hana tours start in Paia, but our Reverse Road to Hana Tour begins in Kula on the opposite side of the island. There are some serious advantages to this.
Mainly, you’ll beat the crowds at some of the Road to Hana's most popular spots, like Oheo Pools and Hana Town. Not only that, you’ll visit the rarely explored backside of the Road to Hana.
Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!
• Explore the back road to Hana
• Beat the crowds to Oheo Gulch (Seven Sacred Falls) & the Pipiwai Trail
• Visit Hana Town
• Explore Wai'anapanapa State Park to visit a Black Sand Beach (advance reservation required)
• Visit loads of scenic waterfalls

Customer Reviews
Absolute Must!
We were told by locals that this app was a must- provides wonderful directions, stop recommendations and historical background along your trip. Shaka guide is a must to get the full experience of the road to Hana
Catie & LB | 11 seconds ago | iOSGreat guide, very informative!
Very helpful for our Road to Hana trip. Second time using the guide. I would suggest adding Aunty Sandy’s banana bread to the Road to Hana guide, it is a must do and guidance to the location and background of the business would be so helpful.
Let me write a review! | 2 days ago | iOSFantastic App
This was our first time driving the Road to Hana and this app made the trip a breeze. I would give this app 10 stars if I could
Hammerhead0268 | 2 days ago | iOSROAD TO HANA This is a must!
I’m not sure what we would have done without this app. It was perfectly synchronized to our trip and told us exactly where to turn to see the tourist sites as we moved along the path. The narrator is great! He has great stories and info about the road to Hana and history about Maui. My son found him a little corny - fair- but well worth the $25 download. It kept us all engaged and looking for the beauty spots! There are many! Would use this app every single time! Well-done!
She Moves... a lot | 3 days ago | iOSAmazing!
We have used this in Hawaii for the Road to Hana and now Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. It makes the rides so informative, fun and navigates perfectly.
C Dags | 3 days ago | iOSThe Road to Hana tour was amazing! The GPS was synced perfectly and the timely narrative was incredible! The stories and history made the drive even better. The recommended stops were great and the music really helped set the mood. 10/10 highly recommended!
Devin Heckenkemper | 6 days ago | AndroidAmazing Day thanks to Shaka Guide!
A day we’ll never forget thanks to Shaka Guide’s Road to Hana loop guide! We almost turned around in Hana, but we were enjoying the tour so much we pressed on! So glad we did, there’s so much beauty beyond Hana. The scenery, narration, the history & the music all made for the perfect day!
TroyerTravels | 1 week ago | iOSAmazing, really.
Really felt like you had a tour guide right with you, the Road to Hana is not the most relaxing trip, but with this app and what the Shaka team produced, it really did help make the 10 plus hour day fly by.
rshizzle12 | 1 week ago | iOSWorth the money!!
Our second time on the Road to Hana and first navigating ourselves. Cant imagine having gone it without this guide. Great narration and history. Loved the music in between all the sites. Would highly recommend.
