The bus rounds a blind bend and the ocean drops away in a wash of brilliant blue; palms lean like old friends and a drizzle from the cloud forest taps your window. On the Road to Hana, every bend rewrites the view: narrow bridges thread across rushing streams, roadside stands perfume the air with warm banana bread, and waterfalls appear as if someone pulled a curtain on the jungle. Aloha Sunshine Tours keeps the steering wheel steady so you can watch the island unfold.

Adventure Tips
Bring cash for local stands
Most roadside vendors accept only cash—small bills make buying banana bread and crafts easier.
Wear grippy shoes
Waterfall pools and lava rock are slippery; sturdy shoes or sandals with traction are essential for short hikes and swimming access.
Prepare for a long day
This is a 10–12 hour tour with multiple stops; pack snacks, a refillable water bottle, and motion-sickness remedies if needed.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
If you plan to swim, use reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral ecosystems along Maui’s coast.
