Itinerary
A surfer town with tons of character, Paia is the perfect way to kick off your journey to Hana. If your group needs a little energy boost, we can stop at one of the cafes in town and grab a round of coffee. Alice is Hululand is the perfect spot to grab a funky souvenir, or find out what tasty tropical fruit is in season at Mana Foods!
One of the most awe-inspiring views on the Road to Hana, look out over the tranquil village of Wailua and the vast ocean beyond. Facing Haleakela, you are treated to a panorama of the Ko'olau Gap, a densely forested valley stretching as far as the eye can see towards the crater. See how many waterfalls you can count cascading down the valley walls!
A stunning black volcanic rock shoreline that juts out into the powerful waves of the Pacific is the backdrop to a glimpse of the Maui's past. Here in Keʻanae, the traditional method of loʻi kalo (wetland taro) agriculture is still practiced. Enjoy a loaf of the famous Aunty Sandy's banana bread (as featured on National Geographic's Uncharted with Gordon Ramsey!) while you watch and listen to the thunderous waves breaking on shore.
Looking to cross "swim in a waterfall in Hawaii" off your bucket list? Now's your chance! With not one, but TWO gorgeous waterfalls that have natural pools ideal for swimming, you can take a dip in cool, refreshing water flowing straight from the slopes of Haleakela. For the adrenaline seekers in your group, there is also a safe spot to cliff-jump at one of the waterfalls here!
By now, your crew has probably worked up quite the appetite! Luckily, there are several dining options in Hana and outside of town. For fantastic wood-fired pizza topped with veggies grown right on-site, Hana Farms is a great stop for both lunch and picking out fresh organic produce. There is also a food truck park in town with several options, Braddah Hutt's BBQ Grill just outside of town, or the Hana Ranch Restaurant if you feel like soaking in an ocean view with your meal. After lunch, we'll load up and take your group to Hana Bay, where you can enjoy a great view of Hana Town, and hear about the fascinating history of this area.
Witness the jaw-dropping beauty of ‘Ālau Island, a seabird sanctuary dramatically battered by waves. Enjoy the view while strolling along the pockets of red sand beach, and look out at Leho‘ula sea arch back towards town. Uncle Russell's Huli Huli Chicken, as featured on National Geographic's Uncharted with Gordon Ramsey, makes an excellent plate lunch to be savored at a picnic table looking out on this gorgeous landscape.
An absolutely beautiful beach that is perfect for body-surfing, Hamoa Beach is nestled within a ring of cliffs overflowing with greenery. Soft sand runs all the way into the crystal-clear water, so the whole family can enjoy the waves without worrying about rocks!
A memorable end to your day of adventure, Ho’okipa Beach Park has one of the best views looking out over Northshore Maui at sunset. Watch the surfers catching massive waves at one of the most famous and sought-after surf breaks in the world. And then for the wildlife-lovers of your group, this is a terrific spot to see Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles! They love to congregate in a corner of the beach right underneath a platform ideal for viewing and snapping a few pictures.

We arrived to Hawaii by cruise ship. The company was in contact several times prior to our arrival to ensure we felt comfortable with all instructions and to confirm our times in port! Felt extremely comfortable with our driver and felt he genuinely cared that we enjoyed our day and that all our expectations were met
Eugene is a wonderful tour guide! We were so impressed by his knowledge about Maui— the history, geography, plant life, places to stop,etc. We highly recommend his tour.
Beautiful scenery. Twisty windy road that I would not want to drive on my own. Our driver Nick was friendly and knowledgeable.
Nick was very knowledgeable, personable, very aloha. Felt safe with him driving those difficult roads. From swimming in a waterfall, to exploring a lava tube, to seeing green sea turtles, Nick took us to places other tour companies were not going. By the end of our trip, he became part of our crew and a friend.
Travis was amazing! He was able to cater the trip to our own interests and schedule. He’s a very skilled driver and had a lot of knowledge about the history and culture of Maui. We can’t wait to come back to do it again with him!
The tour was great and our guide was very informative. I am happy I chose the tour because if I would have driven myself I would have missed a lot and the roads were very curvy. Our guide took us to some very nice places.
Nick was a great guide! My husband and I had the best day exploring the journey to and from Hana. We learned so much about the island and are so glad we spent the day on this tour!
Eugene was fantastic and made the day a wonderful experience for our group. He got us close to items of interest, was extremely knowledgeable about the area, plants and wildlife and the history of the area. Our trip was 2 days after the storm Lala occurred and yet we were still able to see and do almost everything we wanted. The area was without power in some areas but the sites were beautiful and breathtaking. A small group experience is definitely the way to see the road to Hana!
Nick was a super friendly and very knowledgeable guide. We hit the popular spots including a spot to swim in a waterfall pool. We visited a red sand beach and a lava tube. We had a snack stop for warm banana bread, lunch at some food trucks in Hana, and a dessert stop for a Dole whip. He also knew where all the bathrooms were and we never seemed far from one when needed. He also interacted very well with our autistic son.
Highly recommend Road to Hana with Travis! Great day sightseeing and learning the history of Maui. Travis is very knowledgeable of the different plants/trees, animals, and Hawaiian culture.
Amazing private tour to Hana! A must do!! We had an awesome day today with Eugene! He showed us some of the most beautiful and unique (non-tourist) spots. We will remember this trip forever!
If the Road to Hana is on your list of things to do in Maui, why not sit back in a spacious and clean SUV and let Nick do the driving. The day we spent with Nick felt like sharing our trip with a very knowledgeable, fun and personal friend. Nick and Ohana tours communication before and during our trip was seamless. We saw everything on the itinerary and actually added a couple things. Nick and Eugene, the owner of Ohana Tours, are extremely helpful and willing to modify an itinerary to suit your wants and needs. This is truly a "private" tour and only includes the people in your group. Book today, you won’t be sorry!
This was an amazing experience for our entire family and I highly recommend it!!! Travis was the best guide, and the coolest part was how the day was adapted to our family as Travis got to know us. The communication before and during was everything you would hope for when you are looking for a customizable, 5 star experience. I had been to Maui before and always wondered about the Hana experience. We brought our 8, 11, 14, and 15 year olds and they all said at the end of our trip that this was their favorite day of the entire trip! We loved the balance between car time and getting out to explore. It’s an incredible way to experience the beauty of the island from amazing trees (which we loved learning really cool details about from Travis), waterfalls, caves, and beaches. They provided everything- towels for after we all jumped a waterfall, all kinds of waters and snacks. Super flexible stops if a kid needed a restroom, changed their mind about a food truck, or wanted to listen to their music playlist. We did all wear ear patches before to help with any motion sickness and didn’t have any problems. We had other family members I recommended to also book with them and we will absolutely do this again bc there are so many different places to stop and explore!
This was the most amazing experience! The owner Eugene picked us up at our hotel, and took us to the office where we met our tour guide, Travis, who was amazing. A full day private tour getting to do what we wanted how we wanted! Travis was so friendly it was like touring with a friend, he got to know what we liked and took us to the most beautiful places plus food stops that fit our preferences! The price was unbeatable for such a custom experience, highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a private tour for a good price!
I have no words really, although we did see everything on the description, it was basically a driving tour with many winding roads. Hana itself was nothing to see. Black sand beach wasn’t a beach as one might expect, it was lava rock and really no place to swim. Although tour guide was knowledgeable, we felt his driving was a bit erratic at times and he took us to places that were closed. Waterfalls were not swimable. Wasted 8 hrs in a car was the end result. It would have been much better renting a car and going on our own. If you are considering the road to Hana, rethink it. It’s in our opinion a wasted trip.
Great day with Nick on the road to Hana. Well organized trip with detailed communication on pick up and things to know before the excursion. The ride was comfortable with ample bathroom stops if needed. Nick was well knowledge about historical Maui, island customs as well as flora/ plants native to the area. We hit all the highlights along the way, stopping at waterfalls, beautiful beaches, and killer views. Midway through, we stopped for banana bread, a must diversion! Had lunch in an area full of food trucks, a great way to catch the local vibe. Doing a private tour is a great way to customize your experience!
Eugene was awesome. Showed us everything we wanted to see, gave us insight on almost every nook and cranny of the road, stopped and got wild fruit from trees for us to taste, stopped when and where we wanted, and even took us to some off the beaten path places that he visits himself that no one else was around to see (and it was a busy road where people were at most every stop). He definitely made sure to help us get the most out of our trip. He even took us around the mountain instead of backtracking from Hana, which was just as beautiful in its own way. Would highly recommend this excursion.
We had such an incredible experience with Nick as our guide. He’s incredibly knowledgable about all the plants along the road to Hana and also knew a ton about the history of the region. Our favorite stop was a secluded waterfall that other tourists didn’t know about, so we had it all to ourselves.
Excellent day with an excellent guide. Eugene is knowledgeable, professional, relatable and someone we just simply enjoyed spending our day!!
Eugene was amazing. And the private experience is absolutely worth it. A road to Hannah. It was the most breathtaking tour I’ve taken.
Nick was very knowledgeable and thorough with his explanations of the area. We had an awesome time, & our trip exceeded our expectations!! We loved Nick!
A choose-your-own-adventure from the very start of the day. I loved how Eugene had a plan based on his experience but also made sure to ask what we each wanted to do and made a point to get everyone in our family’s must-do’s in. It was absolutely tailored to us which was the best part about doing our private tour. Eugene is an awesome driver, we felt safe on the crazy windy roads and relaxed the whole time. There is no way we would have known where to stop along the road if we had tried to tackle it ourselves. Definitely it was essential to take the private tour. One thing I wanted to explicitly point out was how much I appreciated Eugene’s constant looking out for my young kids’ safety while walking along the road and while climbing down to the water fall, and nonjudgmental and kind attitude towards my neurodivergent child. Super yummy beverages too! Thank you so much!!!!
We had an amazing experience on the Private Road to Hana Tour with pickup—easily one of the best decisions we made on our Maui trip. Our guide, Eugene, was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island. What really stood out was how he tailored the entire day to our family’s interests, making it feel like a truly personalized adventure rather than a standard tour. Eugene shared so much history, local insight, and hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. The drive can be intense, but having Eugene behind the wheel allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery—waterfalls, lush rainforest, and stunning coastal views. He knew all the best spots to stop, never felt rushed, and made sure we had plenty of time to take it all in. Overall, it was a seamless, memorable, and special experience. If you’re considering the Road to Hana, I highly recommend booking a private tour—and definitely ask for Eugene if you can. It made all the difference!
This was the most fabulous tour I have been on. Nick took such good care of us three with a perfect route to Hana. He even swam with me in the waterfall pool along the way, just one of my highlights of the trip. He took us to so many unique spots that you could never do on your own as a tourist. Well worth the cost and I am a penny pincher, deluxe! Looking back at my pictures, I can’t even believe all we did in one day! Highly recommend 🤗
We scheduled a private tour for the road to Hana. We agreed to a pick up at the park-and-ride downtown, so that we would have more time to actually travel. For two weeks before we got to Maui, there was a big storm system and there was much flooding and downed trees. Nick and Eugene were in contact with us many times to let us know how things were going. It was raining on the day of of the tour, but Nick still felt that we could safely go along the road to Hana and offered us a different route back through the center of the island near Haleakala since we probably wouldn’t be able to spend much time on the various road to Hana stops because of the rain. We gladly accepted and we’re so excited that we did! The road to Hana definitely did not disappoint. The waterfalls were simply amazing because of all the rain. And on the alternative route home we actually got to witness the moving of 20 head of cattle by two Cowboys and two dogs a couple of miles down the road to a new grazing area. What a show! Nick was knowledgeable, kind, entertaining, and very accommodating. Since it was a private tour, it was possibly more expensive than most people would want to pay. But I cannot express how worth it it was! This is definitely a high recommend.
Our ship docked at 8, and because they pick up at 9, it gave us plenty of time to not have to be in the crowd getting off, and get there in time. Nick was a fabulous guide! He explained things really well including some history on things, as well as his extensive knowledge of all the flora he showed us. So many beautiful waterfalls and so many other wonderful things that we were able to see thanks to our driver, Nick! He was very patient and kind!
We took the road to Hana tour with Eugene as our guide. We loved that we could schedule as a small group. After experiencing the narrow road and the many single lane bridges along the path we were so glad we didn’t take this adventure on ourselves! Thanks to Eugene‘s excellent driving and knowledge of the route we were able to sit back, relax and take everything in. I highly recommend using a guide. Eugene was excellent, personable and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the island, fun facts about the environment and the fish, whales, sea turtles and other creatures that are found on Maui!
What a had day with Eugene. He showed us so many incredible things that we were all felt lucky to have seen. He’s really knowledgeable about flora which was particularly nice for me as I love plants. A really nice day!
We had the best day with Eugene on our tour. He’s very knowledgeable and provides a really nice overview of the trip and the sights. We got to see things off the beaten path and were nearly always the ones there. It was a treat to go with him.
Eugene provided us with a wonderful and informative tour! We saw so many amazing views on our trip to Hana. He was delightful and engaging. I would highly recommend!
Eugene was a wonderful tour guide. He was well prepared with drinks, snacks and towels. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and made sure all our needs and tour designations were met. Thanks for a great experience.
What a wonderful experience. Eugene was an amazing tour guide. Such a safe driver, very clean and comfortable vehicle and a wealth of information and the photographer extraordinaire! We had a lovely and memorable day on our Road to Hana tour.
It was absolutely perfect. Eugene was so engaging, a safe driver and did everything possible to make this a wonderful and memorable tour!
We had a wonderful trip with Louise! She was so informative, friendly and had great suggestions on our Road to Hana tour. She was so accommodating and made sure that we were able to hit all of the spots we wanted while giving us recommendations as to which stops were not necessarily worth it. Highly recommend booking this experience!
Secret watering holes, turtles and lava tubes were the highlight. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Nick!
Really enjoyed the tour! Lawaia was really knowledgeable about the island as a native. He was flexible with what we wanted to do. Appreciated the snacks and drinks. Overall an excellent experience!!
Eugene was our AWESOME guide for a fantastic Road to Hana Tour a few weeks ago! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and easygoing. My husband and I appreciated how he customized our day to focus on what we were looking for. We had a blast exploring all of the sights, including many beaches, waterfalls, plus bodysurfing at Hamoa Beach and Ho‘okipa turtles! Highly recommend!! Thanks again Eugene!
It was a great road to Hana adventure! Nick was awesome and very knowledgeable of the area! We would use this company again!
Taking this tour could not have been a better idea! Nick was not only friendly but incredibly knowledgeable about everything we saw and every place we went. He was flexible in terms of fine-tuning the tour to our interests and needs. And, best of all, by using a private guide, we could focus on what we were seeing instead of trying to navigate the highly twisty and tricky roads, and therefore missing half of what could be seen. Highly recommend!
The road to Hana tour is a full day experience of driving but the scenery and stops make it worth it. The various climates and beauty we saw was amazing! Our guide Nick was so friendly and knowledgeable, it felt like we were hanging with a friend. He did a great job of sharing Hawaiin history and giving you a sense of how the locals live. We had plenty of stops and saw a lot. We ended the day with a swim at a favorite local beach and then watch the giant sea turtles lounge in the sand. It was a great way to appreciate Maui beyond the resort scene.
Nick was the most incredible tour guide I’ve had the privilege to spend the day with. Nick was so knowledgeable about the island and the people but most of all he was so fun!! He took us to beautiful beaches, swimming under waterfalls and amazing local food. It didn’t actually feel like a tour. It felt more like spending a day with a friend sightseeing a magical island.. I loved it so much im coming back in November with my husband and Nick is gong to take us around so my husband can experience this as well. As a bonus we will do the backside of the road to Hana as well. See you soon Nick cheers!!
Amazing value with a very friendly and informative guide. Nick took the time to customize a trip that focused on our interests and provided an eventful day along the road to Hana. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour
Our Road to Hana tour with Lulu was excellent. She made the drive feel easy and safe, knew all the best stops, and gave us just the right amount of time to enjoy each place. Her knowledge of Maui’s history and culture added a lot to the trip, and we saw things we never would have found on our own. A great way to experience the Road to Hana. Thanks, Lulu!

We had an incredible private Road to Hana tour! The scenery was breathtaking, and having a private guide made the experience stress-free and so much more enjoyable. We were able to stop at hidden gems, avoid the crowds, and take in the beauty at our own pace. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a personalized and unforgettable Hana adventure!
Lawaia was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable about the area and the culture. Brought us to a few hidden gems and made the whole trip very relaxing and enjoyable.
We had such a great time and had the pleasure of a great driver who showed us so many interesting spots. So worth it to go the private tour route. Highly recommend Eugene and his company for your trip to Hana.
Perfect! Jason was our guide. He was the best! Friendly( accommodating, and just simply the best! We got to see the Road to Hana from a personal perspective. We had 8 stops, black sand beach, red sand beach, water falls, and everything in between. Thank you Eugene and Jason! Highly recommend both!
Our guide was great, road to Hāna was fun with several beautiful stops along the way! Lunch of Juli Juli chicken from road side stand was very good!
