We had to do the road to Hana, we discussed driving it ourselves I’m so glad we didn’t.
Mel was our driver and she navigated the twisty winding road like a seasoned veteran while sharing her knowledge of the area. There were plenty of photo opportunities so many in fact that phones were dying. Mel offered to charge phones so bring your cord with you. We stopped numerous times to get better views of the land and shores. The breakfast and lunch were very good. The only drawback to our day is that the AC didn’t work very well in the back section of the van.

Altho my husband had done a Hana tour 30 years ago and could not believe how good the road is now, I was white knuckled most of the journey, even though in the capable driving hands of Ted, our entertaining and knowledgeable guide. Our van was clean and comfortable. Water and ice tea provided. Umbrellas at the ready. Even toilet "necessity" bags, altho our rest stops were pretty clean. Meals were pretty good. Ted's narrative covered geography, history, local lore, legend, and he was thoroughly entertaining and informative. Wished we had stopped in Hana proper altho there isn't really anything there. Beach and scenery stops were just enough as was honey farm and native garden stop for lunch. Lindbergh grave an unexpected surprise as were the 5 chimp graves nearby. Ted could not have made us feel safer on this wild ride and he earns every cent as a guide. Highly recommend!

Using the smart app and driving yourself was recommended to us, but then I'd miss too much while having to pay attention to the road and all the curves, so for our first trip to Hana we elected to try this tour. So glad we did! The driver was excellent and made the trip educational as well as enjoyable. I doubt that we would have stopped at many of the spots he did and would have missed so much. This was a great tour, and highly recommend. This tour picked us up at our resort and makes the full loop of the eastern half of the island.
