Skip the driving and ride in luxury on a private Road to Hana tour in a Cadillac Escalade. This full-day, custom experience pairs comfort and local insight with stops at bamboo groves, waterfalls, black sand beaches and seaside lookouts.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You slide into leather cooled by the Escalade's air conditioning and watch Maui unspool: sugarcane fields giving way to narrow coastal cliffs, the surf marking the island's eastern seam like a continuous drumbeat. The driver eases onto Hana Highway, and the road itself becomes the day's protagonist — a thread of blacktop that hugs the coastline, threading through rainforest cuts, bamboo chutes and waterfalls that seem to appear on cue.
