Select participants and date
You meet your guide in the Lowe’s parking lot at 8:30 a.m., the van’s leather seats still cool from the night and the windows steamed with trade-wind mist. The first turns on the Hana Highway are quick reminders that this is not a commute but a pilgrimage: hairpin bends, green walls of jungle pressing close, and the ocean flashing between the trunks. In five hours this “lite” Road to Hana condenses the island's drama—surf, bamboo groves, waterfalls and rainbow-eucalyptus forests—into a taste of the longer route, delivered with VIP polish.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef shoes
Many stops have rocky shorelines and slippery lava—reef shoes let you wade safely and protect coral.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen
Protect marine life and avoid skin irritation in river and ocean swims—apply before arrival.
Prepare for winding roads
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before pickup; the coastal route is twisty.
Charge your camera and phone
A guide/photographer offers shots, but you’ll want a full battery for waterfalls and overhead canopies.
