Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!
• Hike to Twin Falls

• Visit Hana Town
• Hike the Pipiwai Trail
• Explore the back road to Hana
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Recommended Start Time: Before 8:00 a.m.
Tour Starting Point(s): Kahului
Direction: Clockwise, beginning in Kahului near the airport and ending in Kula Town
Please Note: The backside of Hana has some graded dirt roads and rusty guardrails so the drive requires extra caution. Because of this, some rental car companies will void insurance if you drive on the backside of Hana. Confirm that you're able to drive this section of the island with your rental car company in advance.
ROAD TO HANA ADVISORY:
There is only one road into and out of Hana. People who live in nearby communities have to drive this road everyday and the thousands of daily drivers on this one-lane highway greatly impacts their lives. Please be respectful — do not park illegally, pay attention to signs, drive responsibly, and pull over to let locals pass. Do not enter private property or visit sites that are unsafe. And, please remember to pick up your trash.
All Shaka Guide tours come with customer support and a satisfaction guarantee. Tours never expire.

Absolute Must
We used the Shaka Guide for our Road to Hana trip in Maui. It was fabulous! Lots of history and guided us through the entire trip seamlessly. I can’t imagine how boring and the things we would’ve missed had we not used this guide. Definitely a must if you are taking this drive!
Maui First Tmer | 1 day ago | iOSAbsolutely fantastic!!!
The Shaka guide app is a true game changer! We downloaded the Road to Hana and the Haleakala tours and they made all the difference on our drives to both destinations! They were perfectly aligned to where we were on the GPS. They were entertaining, informative, and filled with useful tips that made it even more enjoyable! I highly recommend this app to everyone! It will make your road trips so much fun and will ensure that you don’t miss a thing!!
Agile1 | 1 day ago | iOSMust have Maui App!
Our resort concierge recommended this app and it was amazing for our road to Hana trip. The app pointed out so many things we would have missed, gave excellent site info, timing reminders, and told the history of the areas. Highly recommend this app and it is absolutely worth the price. Thank you Shaka Maui!!
