Maui: VIP Road to Hana Private Tour in Convertible SUV

Highlights

• Explore Maui to find yourself
• Customized to your passions
• Discover the locals' favorites

Description

The average tour is 8 hours.

Book a private, custom Maui adventure of a lifetime. Our most popular experience is the Reverse Road to Hāna Loop—a breathtaking full-circle journey that begins on Maui’s rugged backside and winds through Hāna and beyond. Unlike the classic route that travels to Hāna and back, the reverse road takes you the other way around, revealing lesser-seen landscapes, stunning coastal views, and authentic local experiences (when road conditions allow). Every tour is fully customizable to match your pace and passions.

Our guides study with Hawaiian cultural practitioners and operate pono—doing what is right. They share moʻolelo (stories), history, and ‘ike (knowledge) about Hawaiian culture along the way. Guests love discovering hidden waterfalls, red and black sand beaches, and savoring fresh huli huli chicken from local stands.
