Hawaii
Small Hawaiian villages doing their best to live like the Hawaiians of old. Hunting pigs and growing taro, bread fruit, and Bananas are all big parts of everyday life in this small community.

The Keanae overlook and peninsula offer views of one of the largest taro farms in Hawaii.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Aunty Sandy's Banana Bread
210 Keanae Road, Ke‘anae, HI 96708
In 1983, Aunty Sandy Hueu began to bake her famous banana bread in Keʻanae, Maui.

Duration: Not Available
Stop At: Wailua Falls
Hana Highway, just past Koali Ranch Cottage, Hana, Hawaii

Duration: Not Available
Stop At: Hana Lava Tubes
205 Ulaino Rd, Hana, Haiku, Hawaii
Lava tubes are formed when massive flows cool on the surface forming an insulating conduit for the lava flowing underneath. During the creation of Maui’s volcanic landscape these served like the veins of the volcano, channeling lava for many miles underground before being deposited as new landmass (in this case, into the ocean.) After a volcano has been dormant for some time, these tubes usually begin to cave in and disappear under the forces of nature. Since much of the surface of Maui formed long ago, we have few lava tubes of significant size remaining; Ka’eleku Cave is the largest known accessible lava tube on Maui.
Duration: Not Available
Stop At: Hana Bay
Hana, Hawaii
Located within Hana Bay is Hana Beach Park, which has a long black-sand beach and is the safest swimming beach along the East Maui coast. The bay is protected by a coral reef and harbored from big swells by its curved shape.

Stop At: Wai'anapanapa State Park
Hana, Hawaii
Wainapanapa is Maui’s famous Black Sand Beach and fresh water caves. Cobalt blue Ocean surrounded by black sand and black lava rocks from a recent flow only 10,000 years ago. Go for a walk along the edge of the bay and check out the blue water or just sit under a nice shade tree. This location is a great place to spend an hour relaxing, taking in one of the islands most beautiful locales. We serve picnic style lunch at this beautiful area. Swim at your own discretion. Lavatories are available.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Pua'a Ka'a State Park
Hana Highway, , Hawaii
Pua'a Ka'a Falls (rolling pig) resides in the Pua’a Ka’a State Wayside Park, which made it one of the rare waterfalls on the Hana Highway. Swim at your own discretion and risk in the freshwater pools. Lavatories are available.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Upper Waikani Falls
Hana Highway, Hawaii
Located just beyond Mile Marker 19 on the mauka—or mountain side—of Hana Highway, Upper Waikani Falls is often referred to as Three Bears, thanks to the three separate but parallel falls of differing lengths—with the third and smallest being the “baby bear” falls on the right.
Duration: Not Available
Stop At: Wailua Valley State Wayside Park
14560 Hana Hwy, Kula, Hawaii
Wailua Valley is an ahupuaʼa that sits just after the Keanae peninsula on the road to Hana. The area, though small, is rich in Hawaiian culture. It is here that an abundance of rare culturally significant fish and plant life can still be found. The area holds many ancient taro, or kalo, patches; a number of which are still in operation. In Hawaiian legend, taro is literally the older brother of all Hawaiians. And, so “Mahiʼaiʼana”, or cultivation of the land, is an ingrained principle that has endured for the people of Wailuanui.

Our driver Dom was fantastic. He shared his knowledge of Hawaii's history, plants, and animals. The ride was beautiful. I am so happy I didn't have to drive.
Robin_B
Roger was very informative about Hawaiian history, island plants, advance warning about upcoming attractions. He was very thoughtful assisting people on/ioff as needed. And added a little humor in his stories!

Captains & the relationships they forge make the whole trip/excursion. Captain Marty is superbly TOP NOTCH. His focus on his people & candid knowledge of the winding, occasionally treacherous, road to Hāna was uncanny & intriguing. His passion for his craft shined through at every corner. His tips of where to jump from the cliff/waterfall & those words of encouragement will endure.
Thanks for the fruit samples & for galvanizing the eclectic eleven kind sir. Cheers.

More time in transit than viewing sites. Our tour guide was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and entertaining.
