I swore that I would never drive the road to Hana again. But with family visiting from Australia I made the journey once again. For those who don't know, Hana is a world apart. It is the lush rain forest area of Maui. There are waterfalls, lush tropical vegetation, vines climbing trees. There also is the famous road to Hana,... More

This highway is seriously one of the best road rides on the planet. You have to get started early, 6:30 and would recommend starting at twins falls. Out and back 4-4.5 hours. Multiple climbs, curves and awesome views. The road starts to get busy by 9-9:30 but by then you are heading back and they are most just oncoming.

Jonathon creates an excellent tour. Having a private driver makes a world of difference. We sae incredible views and gigantic waterfall. Truly Heaven on Earth. Buy several of Aunties banana bread (I attended a top culinary school for pastry and hers is exceptional) and also the shaved ices with ice cream. Jonathon has the perfect personality for his job and... More

My husband I rented a car mainly for the purpose of traveling the Road to Hana. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. While there may be some beautiful sites along the way, neither one of us truly enjoyed it as we drove on windy, tiny roads full of people for sites we could see driving other roads in Maui. We both... More

If you take the Hana Hwy to Hana you can expect it to take you from 2 to 3 hours. I would suggest you purchase a Road To Hana Audio CD to learn all the different stops you need to stop by. I would suggest that you stay the night in Hana in order to see everything you need to... More

The "Maui Revealed" book is no secret. It gives you a mile by mile guide to this highway, which it seems many folks around the island try to sell as a tour best taken when somebody else drives you. Someone went as far as to call it "divorce highway." My fellow west coast friends, if you have ever driven through... More

The scenic heritage drive on Maui known as the road to Hana or Hana highway is a must see. We chose the guide service at www.MauiAdventureSpecialist.com and the drive was spectacular and not nearly as stressful as we had heard. The guide they provided was superb and took our every need into account. Fresh local fruits were plied upon us... More

I don't know how much more to say about Hana Highway. The beauty is so incredible that it will take your breath away - as will all the hairpin turns and one lane bridges!!! Drive slowly (as if you can do otherwise!) and take all the little side roads you see - which won't be too many. I had an... More

If you don't mind tiny, winding roads ... hair-raising one-lane bridges ... this is a must-do! My tip is to start EARLY ... we left Kaanapali at 6:30 am and that was just about right. It takes about an hour to get to mile one of the hana hwy and then about 2 hours +/- after that. Of course it... More

My Boyfriend and I were in Maui Oct. 2012. We rented a car and did not pay for a single excursion and we loved it. The road to Hana was my favorite activity/day of our 8 day trip. Luckily, before we left for Hana we met a couple who lent us a travel book that detailed the entire road to... More
