The jeep slides around a blind corner and the rainforest exhales: ferns drip, sugar-colored sunlight pins through the canopy, and a chorus of streams dares you to follow. On Maui’s east flank, the Road to Hana is less a highway and more a slow-motion adventure, and a private full-day jeep tour with a local Hana driver turns that claustrophobic, hairpin route into a curated string of beaches, waterfalls and lava-formed coastlines.
