Half Day
Road to Hana
Every tour is private. Your vehicle, your guide, your day.
Let's Adventure! The Road to Hana in Half a Day
Maui's legendary Road to Hana, for travelers who want to savor the drive without giving it the whole day. Dinner plans, a cruise ship schedule, or just a shorter attention span in the back seat: this tour is built for it. Four to six hours, streamlined but still tailored to you.
It is private, in a luxury SUV such as a Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban or Tahoe, with a local guide who picks the stops that fit your time. Whether you have a few hours or a bit more, we shape the route around what you most want to see, from waterfalls and coastal trails to a black sand beach.
We handle any park reservations and entry fees, so the day runs smoothly. Pickup is door to door from your hotel, condo or the cruise pier, and we plan the turnaround so cruise guests are back at the ship with time to spare.
Highlights
- Flexible and personal: an itinerary that fits your schedule, not the other way around
- Curated stops: waterfalls, coastal trails and a black sand beach
- Park reservations and entry fees taken care of
- Perfect for dinner plans and cruise ship days
Itinerary
Fully customizable itinerary. No two days with us are alike. With half a day we go as far as the time allows and make it count. A sample of what yours could look like:
Hoʻokipa Beach Park
Surfers and, most days, Hawaiian green sea turtles resting on the sand. A quick first stop on the way out.
Twin Falls or a nearby waterfall
The first waterfalls of the drive, with a pool to cool off in if you want.
Keʻanae Peninsula
Waves on black lava, taro fields and the big coastal view. The classic photo stop.
Aunty Sandy's Banana Bread
Warm from the oven, right on the peninsula.
Kaumahina State Wayside
Mile marker 13, one of the best lookouts on the northern coast.
Roadside fruit stand
Fresh coconut, lilikoi and whatever is in season, sliced open on the spot.
More Info
Start times are flexible. Choose your pickup spot when you book, whether that is your hotel lobby, the cruise port or a specific address, and tell us your ship's all-aboard time if you have one. We plan the day around it, and we handle the park reservation.
