Road to Hana Tour – Waterfall Hikes & Black Sand Beaches
Pricing
Groups of 3 or more people
Description
Beyond the Road: Hike, Swim & Discover Hana’s Wild Side!
At each stop, you'll lace up, hop out, and hit the trail. Follow short paths through the rainforest to hidden falls, cool off at the base of the cascades, and explore the spots that most visitors drive right past. On a private tour, you set the intensity: push for more trail time and waterfall swims, or mix in a few slower scenic stops. Shared tours still include short trails and plenty of chances to get out and explore.
Midday, refuel at Hana's best food trucks with Thai, Mexican, American, and local plates, then save room for some of the island's best banana bread along the way. Your guide films the whole day on a GoPro, so every waterfall, black sand beach, and jaw-dropping coastline view comes home with you on a memory card.

FAQs
How active is this Road to Hana tour?
That's largely up to you. On a private tour, you can customize your level of adventure, choosing more trail time and waterfall stops or a more relaxed, scenic pace. Shared tours still include short trails and plenty of chances to get out of the vehicle and explore.
What will we see along the way?
Highlights include towering waterfalls, black sand beaches, cliffside coastal views, sacred tide pools, hidden spots off the main road, and a stop for some of the island's best banana bread. Your guide shares Hawaiian history and culture throughout the day.
Do I need to drive?
No. Your guide does all the driving along the Road to Hana, so you can enjoy the views and save your energy for the trails.
What's for lunch?
Lunch is included at Hana's best food trucks, with Thai, Mexican, American, and local options to choose from. Let us know about any allergies before your tour and we'll make sure you're taken care of.
What shoes should I wear?
Running shoes, sport sandals with a heel strap, or water shoes all work well. The trails aren't flip-flop friendly and can be muddy and wet, so wear a pair you don't mind getting dirty. Bring flip-flops to change into between stops.
Can we return a different way?
Yes. You can add a return drive along the back side of the island at checkout for an extra fee.
Are there any insects or wildlife to be concerned about?
Mosquitoes are common in East Maui's rainforest, so we provide eco-friendly mosquito repellent on every tour.
Is my tour private or shared?
Groups of four or more are automatically private, so only your group and your guide will be on the adventure. Smaller groups join a shared tour with up to 6 guests total, or can make the tour private by adding a privacy fee at checkout.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Yes. Our tours are priced per person with a two-person minimum per booking.
Can I choose my start time?
Private groups (four or more guests, or two or more guests with the privacy fee added) can request a custom start time. Shared tours run at the scheduled start times listed for each adventure.
What do you provide on every tour?
Every adventure comes stocked with water, snacks, eco-friendly mosquito repellent, and locally made, all-natural reef-safe sunscreen. Your guide also captures photos and video of your day on a GoPro. Our full-day adventures include lunch as well.
When will I receive my photos and videos?
As soon as your adventure ends. Your guide hands you the memory card and an adaptor so you can save, print, or post your photos right away. An edited adventure video with music and highlights can also be added at checkout for an extra fee.
Are your guides trained in safety and first aid?
Yes. Our guides are CPR-certified and carry first-aid kits on every tour. Your safety is our number one priority, and your guide tailors each outing to the interests and ability levels of your group.
Is it safe to leave valuables in the car?
Please leave valuables at your hotel. Vehicles on Maui are occasionally broken into, and backpacks, purses, and handbags are common targets. We're not responsible for any lost or stolen personal items you choose to bring.
What add-ons are available?
Popular add-ons include a picnic, a professional photographer, an edited adventure video with music and highlights, and a privacy fee for smaller groups who want a private tour. Each can be added at checkout for an extra fee.
How do you care for Maui's land and ocean?
