Some of the many highlights are listed below;
8 hours
Ke'anae Arboretum
The 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.
1 hour
Hana Lava Tube
The 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.
30 minutes
N/A
Not 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.
30 minutes
Ke‘anae Point
Ke'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.
20 minutes
Twin Falls Maui
Twin 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.
1 hour
Upper Waikani Falls
Waikani 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.
20 minutes
Koki Beach
On 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.
20 minutes
Hamoa Beach
Yes, 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.
30 minutes
Wai'anapanapa State Park
Wai'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.
2 hours
Pipiwai Trail
Pipiwai Trail would have to be the favorite hiking trail on the Road to Hana. It is located at the Oheo Gulch area of Kipahulu, at the end of the drive. Since it is inside Haleakala National Park, be aware that you will need to show your NPS pass for entry, or purchase one on arrival.
The full hike is a 4-mile loop trail, that climbs 650 feet of elevation. This is a moderate hike, but if conditions are hot, it can feel strenuous. Part of the way along the trail, you will be rewarded with views of the Makihiku Falls. If finding the hike difficult, this is a good place to turn back. Most will continue the hike to Waimoku Falls, the highlight and furthermost point. Sections through bamboo forest are especially peaceful.
Expect the hike to take 2+ hours depending on your fitness level. So as long as you arrive at the trail by 2pm, you will have lots of time to hike and then drive back.

Best decision to do while on Maui!
Published on Dec, 2024
My husband asked me how I was going to write a review for this, as his words were “exceptional” and “best decision we made”. He actually wants to download the voice and “personality” to his own Google Maps.
Going off a review we read before purchasing, Uncle “George” was a fantastic guide. We didn’t feel like we were missing anything, and it was very nice being able to choose where to spend you time. Very informative, and we very much enjoyed the history for the ride back.
We have already recommended to the rest of our family that are also in Maui with us right now. It truly felt like the guide was in the car with us. At one point, he was like “now you may be coming up on some traffic here” - he was dead on. To the moment it would hit.
We cannot recommend this your enough! And we are so glad that we decided to do the Road to Hana. I don’t think we could say we truly saw Maui without that trek. And we couldn’t have enjoyed it anymore than going with “Uncle George” riding in the car with us! 10/10 100% recommend!
It felt like your Dad was in the front seat explaining every scenic view and stop along the Road to Hana!
Published on Dec, 2024
Had no issues downloading the app to my Apple iphone. This was our first time using a self-guided tour based on GPS and it worked like a charm. Each time our GPS blue dot passed a point marked on the audio tour, the tour guide gave us informed information about what was coming up and what to look for from the road so we wouldn't miss a particular stop. The voice actor they used felt like your Dad talking to you from the front... we even named him "George" (althought we tried to see if we could find out if the narrator had a name... no luck but I guess that is on purpose). We just kept talking to our car speaker asking "Okay George, what's the next stop on the Road to Hana?". It was a great way to pass the time in between stops. We will definitely use this again where available and it saved us a ton of money by not spending on those costly bus tours.
Best guide service

Excellent way to follow spot on with GPS. Good clear and funny guidance at times. We even followed recommended places to stop.
Fabulous trip with our very own excellent Tour Guide
Published on Nov, 2024
This guide was AMAZING! it was like Bob (the name we gave to our virtual guide) was in the car with us. The navigation matched every turn in the road. We didn't miss a single cue. Not only were the instructions excellent, but the suggestions were very helpful too. On the way back we learned a lot about the history of the island. We set off at 6:30am from Kihei and arrived back at 6:30pm - and we had to miss a couple of stops, so make sure you set off EARLY to make the most of this epic trip. Note: Take wet weather gear - it rained a lot though this didn't really hamper our enjoyment, but you will get wet and your shoes will get muddy. If you get caught out, some vendors along the route sell rain ponchos for 3 bucks. Fantastic day out.
