The Ultimate Road to Hana Experience – Waterfalls, Black Sand Beach and Turtles

Overview

Your unforgettable day begins with a seamless pickup directly from your cruise ship at Kahului Harbor, eliminating the stress of navigating the famously winding Road to Hana on your own. Sit back, relax, and take in the stunning scenery as your expert local guide leads you on a cultural and scenic journey through East Maui’s most iconic landscapes.

The first stop of the day is at Ho‘okipa Beach Park, a picturesque coastal stretch where Hawaiian green sea turtles can often be spotted basking on the sand.

From there, the tour winds along the coast to the dramatic Ke‘anae Peninsula, where lava rock formations and crashing waves offer the perfect backdrop for photos. Here, you’ll also have the chance to savor Aunty Sandy’s world-famous banana bread — warm, sweet, and straight from the oven.

As you continue along the Hana Highway, you’ll have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in a waterfall-fed pool, surrounded by lush rainforest (weather and conditions permitting). The journey then leads to one of Maui’s crown jewels: Wai'anapanapa State Park. This stunning coastal park is home to the island’s iconic black sand beach, where you can stroll the shoreline, dip your toes or take a dip in the Pacific, or simply relax and take in the sweeping views of volcanic cliffs and ocean spray.

After visiting the quiet, charming town of Hana, your return journey follows the same scenic route — giving you another chance to enjoy the lush surroundings. Back at Ho‘okipa Beach in the afternoon, the atmosphere transforms with colorful kites and sails as world-class windsurfers and kiteboarders take to the waves, offering a final visual treat to end your day.

Throughout the tour, you'll enjoy multiple scenic lookouts, photo stops, and engaging commentary from your knowledgeable guide, who will share stories, legends, and culturais insights that bring the island to life. A delicious deli-style lunch* is included, along with bottled water and light snacks to keep you refreshed throughout the day.

This is far more than just a drive — it’s a fully immersive journey into the heart of East Maui. This Road to Hana adventure is the perfect way to experience the true spirit and beauty of Maui.
