Circle Hāna Highway Adventure with Private Guides Maui | Sightseeing Tour | Guided Tour

Maui’s Hāna Highway is one of the most celebrated drives on the planet, but the true magic reveals itself when a local guide takes you beyond the well-trodden path. Private Guides Maui offers a full-day Circle Hāna Highway tour, weaving the island’s North Shore and East Shore into a single unforgettable journey. This isn’t just a scenic drive—it’s a curated wilderness immersion punctuated by waterfalls, secluded beaches, and rare hiking spots that often escape visitors.

Starting from the lush town of Kula, the tour kicks off before sunrise to beat the crowds and maximize daylight. Your guide’s intimate knowledge of the island’s diverse microclimates and hidden gems transforms the route into a dynamic adventure. You'll visit Ho’okipa Beach, famous for its honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), and the extraordinary Rainbow Eucalyptus groves where vibrant bark peels in shades of green, red, and purple.

The tour continues through rocky coastal lookouts like Kaunmahina and secret swimming holes such as Puaa Kaa Falls, with crisp freshwater inviting you to cool off. Wainapanapa State Park’s dramatic black sand beach offers an otherworldly contrast to the island’s typical coral shores. Along the way, expect stops at lesser-known red sand beaches and indigenous flower farms.

Beyond natural beauty, the tour touches on Maui’s layered history—from Lindbergh’s grave at Palapala Ho'omau to local fruit stands serving fresh island harvests. With a small group format and a four-hour minimum, this tour balances active exploration and relaxation, making it perfect for families and avid adventurers alike.

Private Guides Maui’s personalized service, deep local roots, and varied itinerary place the Circle Hāna Highway tour high on the must-do list for anyone keen to experience Maui’s wild side in a way few outsiders get to see.
