You step into a gleaming Chevrolet Suburban Z71 and the island unfurls: sugarcane fields flatten into wet green valleys, basalt cliffs rear up against the ocean, and the driver’s panoramic moonroof frames sky the color of shallow reefs. On the Road to Hana, the car is the observatory—windows slide, cameras click, and your guide eases through hairpins with a practiced calm while narrating the land’s stories.
