About This Adventure

Experience the Road to Hana: Maui’s Most Enchanting Journey of Nature and Culture

The Road to Hana offers a breathtaking journey through miles of lush rainforests, picturesque waterfalls around every bend, and narrow one-lane bridges. But more importantly, it preserves the rich cultural traditions passed down by generations of elders. Hana is truly a world of its own, filled with stories, legends, and the warmth of authentic Hawaiian hospitality.

As you traverse the heart of Maui, you'll see why it's known as "Maui no ka oi" (the best!). This magical journey leads you deep into Hana's vibrant jungles, where you can be mesmerized by stunning waterfalls and tropical landscapes.

Let our expert local drivers take the wheel while you sit back, relax, and marvel at the breathtaking views. Aloha Sunshine Tours will entertain you with engaging stories, share interesting historical insights, and immerse you in Hawaiian culture and legends, making this a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Our fleet of modern, luxury vehicles is equipped with air-conditioning and large windows to ensure your comfort and provide unobstructed views of the scenery. The anti-glare windows are perfect for capturing the stunning sights along the way.

For lunch, we offer delicious deli-style sandwiches with all the fixings, and you'll enjoy complimentary bottled water and snacks throughout the day. Along the journey, we make frequent stops at local roadside stands and food trucks, where you’ll have the chance to purchase locally sourced treats and handmade snacks. It's the perfect way to taste the flavors of Hana and support the local community while taking in the breathtaking views of the Hana Highway.
