VIP Road to Hana
Every tour is private. Your vehicle, your guide, your day.
Take a VIP Maui Tour With Stunning Views Along the Road to Hana!
See the beauty and magic of Maui on a private, customized Road to Hana tour, where every detail is shaped around you. It is for travelers who want the Hana Highway in comfort and on their own terms: a private luxury SUV such as a Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban or Tahoe, a local guide who knows the road, and a day that runs at your pace.
It starts with door-to-door pickup at your hotel, condo or the cruise pier. From there you head into the rainforest, past waterfalls and along coastal cliffs, with stops the big buses never make.
Because the tour is private, you set the pace. Linger at a freshwater pool, take a short hike to a hidden waterfall, or push on to the spots most visitors skip. Your guide handles the driving, the timing and the local knowledge; you handle the looking around.
Highlights

- Choose a preset route or design your own day
- Waterfalls, black sand beaches, bamboo forests and more
- Flexible stops for photos, swims, hikes or food along the way

Itinerary
Fully customizable itinerary. No two days with us are alike. Photography, swimming, hiking, or just taking in the island: we shape the route around it. Here is a sample of what yours could look like.
Hoʻokipa Beach Park
A local favorite for watching surfers and spotting Hawaiian green sea turtles resting on the sand.
Keʻanae Peninsula
Waves crashing on black volcanic rock, taro fields, and panoramic views back along the coast.
Aunty Sandy's Banana Bread
What many call the best banana bread on the island, baked fresh and eaten warm.
Kaumahina State Wayside
Mile marker 13 and one of the best photo stops on the northern coastline.
Waiʻānapanapa State Park
The famous black sand beach, sea caves and lava tubes. One of the most iconic landscapes on the route.
Hana Town
The quiet, historic heart of the east side. Stroll the streets or stop for lunch at a local spot.
Hamoa Beach
A calm, pristine crescent just past Hana, perfect for a swim or a peaceful break.
Wailua Falls
One of the most photographed waterfalls on Maui, right beside the road.
