Points of Interest

Stop At: Hana Highway - Road to HanaHawaiiAs the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;Duration: 8 hoursStop At: Ke'anae ArboretumHana Hwy., mile marker 17,, Ke'anae, HawaiiThe Arboretum at Keanae is an easy, no-cost location where you can see a collection of tropical plants and trees. It takes less than 30 minutes to see and get pictures of the golden-stemmed bamboo, ginger, papaya and hibiscus. Continuing along the trail the follows the Piinaau Stream, leads walkers to to terraces that were created by ancient Hawaiians for taro cultivation. Perhaps the star of the show at the Arboretum is that you can get up close to the Rainbow Eucalyptus trees with its brightly colored bark, that looks too good to be true.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Hana Lava Tube205 Ulaino Road, Hana, HawaiiThe Hana Lava Tube is a location where you can enter Maui's most accessible lava tube. You don't have to go all the way inside if you find caves claustrophobic - but if you are comfortable with it, its lots of fun to explore.Duration: 30 minutesStop At: Ke‘anae PointHawaiiNot recommended for swimming due to constant winds and currents, but a spectacular place to chill and watch world class windsurfers. At the far right of the beach you’ll often find turtles snoozing on the beach. Did you know they can also sleep in the water? Give them plenty of space and remember - never touch. There's also washrooms, showers and some picnic areas.Duration: 30 minutesStop At: Twin Falls Maui6300 Hana Hwy Haiku, , HawaiiKe'anae Point is on a flat peninsula that juts out into the ocean was created by an outflow of volcanic lava from Haleakala which looms above us. It left behind a little oasis, ideal for taro farming. There is a picturesque small church made out of coral and lava rock, more than a century and a half ago. It's nice to watch the waves pound away at the spire-like rocky outcrops for a while and you are almost guaranteed of being able to find some coconuts along the shore.Duration: 20 minutesStop At: Upper Waikani FallsHana Highway, HawaiiTwin Falls is usually the first location along the Road to Hana drive where you will want to get out of the car and enjoy a short hike. The falls are picturesque, you can cross the stream in many places and bamboo forest is seen along the 1.5 mile trail. There are choices about how far you want to go and what to see. Trail is frequently muddy so wear appropriate footwear. The farmstand is a great place to grab a morning tropical fruit smoothie.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Koki BeachHawaiiWaikani Falls is also called the 3 Bears Falls and it is one of the most popular falls on the Road to Hana because of its fun interpretation. After heavy rain, water cascades over the falls in one big, thick stream - one big bear. But when less water is flowing, it turns into 3 separate falls, one large, one medium and one small.Duration: 20 minutesStop At: Wai'anapanapa State ParkHana, HawaiiOn the same turnoff that takes us to Hamoa Beach, we can stop and enjoy the view to the ex-cindercone that created the quirky-looking Alau Island, that sits about a quarter mile off Koki Beach. Not just a fun photo, this location is also steeped in Ancient Hawaiian legends about Pele - the Goddess of Volcanoes, and the demigod Maui.Duration: 20 minutesStop At: Pipiwai TrailHawaiiYes, you have your choice of beaches on the Road to Hana, but this little crescent shaped sandy beach is timed perfectly on the drive to stretch your legs and cool off or rest under a tree. While there are public bathrooms and showers, there are no lifeguards. When conditions are calm, it's family friendly, but always keep a close eye on the younger members of your party.Duration: 30 minutesStop At: Hamoa BeachHawaiiWai'anapanapa State Park is home to Maui's most famous black sand beach and a park that includes several excellent examples of Maui's volcanic coast. Follow the signs to explore along the beach to spot the sea arch off shore and find the blowhole. This is also a place steeped in Hawaiian legend. It's a must-stop on the tour, with reservations required for entry.Duration: 2 hours

Leave early, like 8AM at the latest. It's a long day and driving that road in the dark sucks. Get reservations for the Waiʻānapanapa State Park of you want to enter.
Manohar_S
The audio guide was incredibly informative and enhanced our tour experience! Easy to follow and super engaging.
Anthony_S
10/10 must use app & guide! This was the most detailed & fun commentary that was 100% accurate to our location at all times, even with no service it never skipped a beat. It ensured we saw what we NEEDED to see, gave a bunch of additional options with short detours (and adjusted the directions and commentary appropriately) and on the way back gave us an oral history so nothing was repeated or duplicated. Best $20 we spent in Maui and will definitely be looking into other self guided tours through this company!
Michael M
If you are doing the Road to Hana, I 100% recommend this. It made the trip fun and did stops that I wouldn't have done otherwise!
