Luxury Road to Hana Small-Group Tour — Waterfalls, Black Sand & Picnic on Maui
Select participants and date
The limo-van rounds a headland and the highway drops away into a green, furious coastline. Rain mist clings to the windscreen and the guide points out a ribbon of waterfall tumbling from the uplands—one of the many that line the Road to Hana. Inside the vehicle, there’s leather seating and cold water; outside, the ocean dares you to keep watching.

Adventure Tips
Bring swim gear and a towel
Several stops include waterfall pools and beach breaks—always have a swimsuit and quick-dry towel ready as swims depend on conditions.
Prepare for winding roads
The Hana Highway has hundreds of tight turns and one-lane bridges; take motion-sickness medicine if you’re prone to nausea.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
If you plan to swim, choose reef-safe sunscreen and avoid lotions that harm corals and marine life.
Carry small bills and ID
Some roadside stands accept cash only and you may need ID for pickup—bring small bills for snacks, fresh fruit and parking donations.

History
Hana’s isolation preserved traditional Hawaiian practices—taro agriculture and place names along the route reflect centuries of local stewardship and settlement patterns.
Conservation
Waiʻanapanapa’s black sand coastline and Hana’s stream-fed pools are ecologically fragile; guests should stay on marked paths, pack out trash and use reef-safe products to limit impacts.
