What to expect

Paia
Pass by

A surfer town with tons of character, Paia is the perfect way to kick off your journey to Hana. If your group needs a little energy boost, we can stop at one of the cafes in town and grab a round of coffee. Alice is Hululand is the perfect spot to grab a funky souvenir, or find out what tasty tropical fruit is in season at Mana Foods!
Wailua Valley State Wayside Park
15m

One of the most awe-inspiring views on the Road to Hana, look out over the tranquil village of Wailua and the vast ocean beyond. Facing Haleakela, you are treated to a panorama of the Ko'olau Gap, a densely forested valley stretching as far as the eye can see towards the crater. See how many waterfalls you can count cascading down the valley walls!
Ke‘anae Point
30m

A stunning black volcanic rock shoreline that juts out into the powerful waves of the Pacific is the backdrop to a glimpse of the Maui's past. Here in Keʻanae, the traditional method of loʻi kalo (wetland taro) agriculture is still practiced. Enjoy a loaf of the famous Aunty Sandy's banana bread (as featured on National Geographic's Uncharted with Gordon Ramsey!) while you watch and listen to the thunderous waves breaking on shore.
Pua'a Ka'a State Park
30m

Looking to cross "swim in a waterfall in Hawaii" off your bucket list? Now's your chance! With not one, but TWO gorgeous waterfalls that have natural pools ideal for swimming, you can take a dip in cool, refreshing water flowing straight from the slopes of Haleakela. For the adrenaline seekers in your group, there is also a safe
spot to cliff-jump at one of the waterfalls here!
Hana
45m

By now, your crew has probably worked up quite the appetite! Luckily,
there are several dining options in Hana and outside of town. For fantastic wood-fired pizza topped with veggies grown right on-site, Hana
Farms is a great stop for both lunch and picking out fresh organic produce.
There is also a food truck park in town with several options, Braddah Hutt's
BBQ Grill just outside of town, or the Hana Ranch Restaurant if you feel like
soaking in an ocean view with your meal. After lunch, we'll load up and take your
group to Hana Bay, where you can enjoy a great view of Hana Town, and hear
about the fascinating history of this area.
Koki Beach
15m

Witness the jaw-dropping beauty of ‘Ālau Island, a seabird sanctuary dramatically battered by waves. Enjoy the view while strolling along the pockets of red sand beach, and look out at Leho‘ula sea arch back towards town. Uncle Russell's Huli Huli Chicken, as featured on National Geographic's Uncharted with Gordon Ramsey, makes an excellent plate lunch to be savored at a picnic table looking out on this gorgeous landscape.
Hamoa Beach
30m

An absolutely beautiful beach that is perfect for body-surfing, Hamoa Beach is nestled within a ring of cliffs overflowing with greenery. Soft sand runs all the way into the crystal-clear water, so the whole family can enjoy the waves without worrying about rocks!
Ho'okipa Beach Park
30m

A memorable end to your day of adventure, Ho’okipa Beach Park has one of the best views looking out over Northshore Maui at sunset. Watch the surfers catching massive waves at one of the most famous and sought-after surf breaks in the world. And then for the wildlife-lovers of your group, this is a terrific spot to see Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles! They love to congregate in a corner of the beach right underneath a platform ideal for viewing and snapping a few pictures.
