The tour was amazing!! Our tour guide Kristie was fabulous!! She was so warm and welcoming! She made us feel like family as soon as we entered the van. She had amazing stories throughout the entire tour. We went to multiple beautiful spots and we were able to get out for a closer look and to take pictures. She had so much knowledge of the history of the island and surrounding islands. I highly recommend the tour and ask for Kristie!!
The Hāna Highway is a 64.4-mile long stretch of spectacular views of rainforest, waterfalls, beaches and coastline. On the east after Kalepa Bridge, the highway continues to Kīpahulu on the Piilani Highway. Although Hāna is only about 52 miles from Kahului, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive when no stops are made as the highway is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hāna, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910 and all but one are still in use. This full-day trip to the Hana coast has the best scenic drive along the shorelines of Maui.

This 9-hour tour with Polynesian Adventures was good (7 of 10). We left the port area (cruise ship) at 830am and returned by 530pm. The small bus (20pax) was in good condition, comfy leather seats and big windows. The driver (thank you Eduard) did a nice job pointing-out view points (waterfalls & overlooks) along the way. We stopped several times to & from Hāna. We had 2 stops that were appx 1hr each, as well as several short 10-15min stops for those Kodak moments. This includes chances to rock jump or dip in the cool water. The tour did include a box lunch (Turkey wrap, chips, cookie, water). Hāna itself is a quaint 800-person town with post office, 1 restaurant, art center and lodging option. The Road to Hāna “is what it is”. The road has many switchbacks and curves. Perhaps consider motion sickness OTC meds regardless of your tour company. The narrow road is mostly 2-way but with many 1-car bridges where yield & right of way will delay the drive. We wouldn’t do it again, but happy to check off our bucket list,

It’s a long one but good! It’s a little pricey if you ask me!! The tour guide was very good, Heavenly knows her stuff!!
