Overview

This day trip covers all of the essential stops!

Hop aboard one of our 12-passenger Comfort Cruisers and enjoy breathtaking views of the Hana Highway as our guides share their love and knowledge of this magnificent stretch of road with you.

As your day begins, your guide will talk about the island's history and lore. The winding road to Hana possesses a mystical quality and is the most famous drive in all of Hawaii. You'll feel as though you're traveling through the Maui's Rain Forest on this slow, meandering trip through a lush paradise.

Encompassing 52 miles, 617 curves, and 56 one-lane bridges, the Hana Highway starts in Kahului and passes through sugar cane fields and the beach town of Paia as we make our way through Maui's spectacular tropical rain forest.

The Pools Of Oheo Gulch are part of Haleakala National Park and are located in eastern Maui, about 40 minutes beyond Hana. Formed by the Pipiwai Stream, this series of waterfalls and pools at the shoreline is the most popular attraction in all of east Maui. When weather conditions are favorable, it's great for swimming, but since swimming is not always an option, your driver/guide will discuss alternatives as you enjoy your ride.

Not far beyond the Pools is the Palapala Hoomau Church with its tiny cemetery, where the American aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh is buried. This is definitely worth a stop.

Unlike anything you've probably seen before, lava tubes are created when lava from volcanic vents forms a river that crusts over on top. These tubes can transport lava for over 20 miles and are certainly a sight to see.

Weather permitting, this tour circles the base of Haleakala (Maui's sleeping volcano) on dirt roads without bridges.

During the course of the day, you'll be treated to a lovely picnic lunch buffet and complimentary beverages.
