Itinerary

**Paia Town ** Experience Maui’s most laid-back vibe in Paia town, once the hub of Maui’s historic sugar cane industry. After the sugar mill retired, the town transformed into the island’s north shore surf mecca and became home to the island’s trendiest galleries, locally-owned clothing and jewelry shops, and a handful of great restaurants. We’ll take as long as you like to stroll the two blocks of shops and restaurants. Roadside Hikes (optional) The Road to Hana meanders through lush rain forest alongside roadside waterfalls and dozens of trails. We’ll guide you to our favorite stops, and if you see something interesting you want to explore, just let us know. If a longer hike is in order, let us know in advance and we'll key up a great one. Pua’a’Ka’a State Park Nestled in the heart of East Maui’s lush rainforest, Puaʻa Kaʻa State Wayside is one of the most beloved stops along the legendary Road to Hāna. This five-acre state park is famous for its crystal-clear swimming hole, cascading waterfalls, and emerald-green surroundings that feel straight out of a tropical postcard. Fed by mountain streams flowing through the rainforest, the pools offer a refreshing escape and one of Maui’s most photogenic natural settings. For guests on the Hāna Highlight Tour, this stop is a chance to slow down and immerse themselves in Maui’s natural beauty. A short, easy walk leads to the waterfall and swimming area, where guests can take a refreshing dip, capture unforgettable photos beneath the cascading water, or simply relax while listening to the soothing sounds of the rainforest. The combination of accessible waterfalls, lush tropical foliage, and tranquil pools makes Puaʻa Kaʻa a favorite for visitors seeking an authentic Maui experience and one of the most memorable photo opportunities on the island. Ke’Anae Peninsula Perched on a dramatic lava-rock peninsula along Maui’s northeastern coast, Keʻanae is one of the most scenic and culturally rich stops on the Road to Hāna. This historic Hawaiian village is renowned for its rugged coastline, where powerful ocean waves crash against ancient black lava formations, creating a breathtaking contrast with the surrounding emerald taro fields and tropical landscape. The peninsula offers some of the most iconic photo opportunities on Maui, showcasing the island’s raw volcanic beauty and deep connection to Hawaiian heritage. Guests will also have the chance to visit the beloved Keʻanae Aunty Sandy’s, home to some of Maui’s most famous banana bread. Freshly baked and served warm, it has become a must-try tradition for visitors and locals alike. Nearby stands the historic Lanakila Ihiihi O Iehova O Na Kaua Church, originally built in 1856 and remarkably still standing despite decades of storms and tsunamis. Together, the church, coastline, and legendary banana bread make Keʻanae a memorable stop that perfectly captures the beauty, history, and spirit of old Hawaiʻi. Waiʻānapanapa State Park Wai’anapana State Park is one of Maui’s most extraordinary natural wonders, where ancient volcanic landscapes, vibrant ocean views, and Hawaiian history come together in a truly unforgettable setting. Best known for its famous black sand beach, Waiʻānapanapa was formed by centuries of volcanic activity that shaped the rugged lava coastline and created one of Hawaiʻi’s most unique and photographed destinations. The contrast of jet-black sand, turquoise waters, and lush tropical vegetation creates a dramatic landscape found nowhere else on Maui. Guests can explore scenic coastal trails, lava tubes, sea arches, and freshwater caves while taking in sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. The park’s name translates to “glistening fresh water,” a tribute to the freshwater springs that flow through the area. Rich in Hawaiian legend and cultural significance, Waiʻānapanapa has long been a place of refuge, storytelling, and connection to the land. Whether capturing stunning photographs, walking along the black sand beach, or simply admiring the raw beauty of Maui’s volcanic coastline, visitors quickly discover why Waiʻānapanapa is considered one of the crown jewels of the Road to Hāna and a highlight of any East Maui adventure. Hana Town Nestled on Maui’s remote eastern shore, the town of Hāna offers a glimpse into the Hawaiʻi of generations past. Far removed from the island’s resort areas, this small and charming community is known for its laid-back pace, rich Hawaiian culture, and breathtaking natural surroundings. Surrounded by lush rainforest, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic ocean vistas, Hāna embodies the spirit of old Hawaiʻi and serves as the cultural heart of East Maui. Guests visiting Hāna can explore its quiet streets, historic landmarks, local shops, and welcoming atmosphere while learning about the area’s deep connection to Hawaiian history and traditions. The town is home to Hāna Bay, picturesque churches, and generations of families who have helped preserve the region’s unique character and way of life. Unlike many modern destinations, Hāna invites visitors to slow down, appreciate the beauty of the land, and experience a more authentic side of Maui. Whether enjoying the scenery, discovering local culture, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, a visit to Hāna is often one of the most memorable and meaningful highlights of the entire journey. Village of Hamoa Just beyond the town of Hāna lies the stunning Hamoa area, home to one of Maui’s most celebrated coastal landscapes. Framed by lush tropical vegetation and dramatic sea cliffs, Hamoa Beach is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaiʻi. Its crescent-shaped shoreline, soft gray-gold sand, and crystal-clear waters create a picture-perfect setting that feels worlds away from the crowds of West Maui. For generations, Hamoa has been cherished by residents and visitors alike for its unspoiled beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The surrounding area offers breathtaking views of East Maui’s rugged coastline, where dense rainforest meets the Pacific Ocean in spectacular fashion. Guests can take in panoramic vistas, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach, or simply relax while listening to the sound of the waves rolling onto shore. Nearby lies the famous Red Sand Beach (Kaihalulu), known for its striking crimson-colored cliffs and unique volcanic landscape. Together, the Hamoa region showcases the raw, untouched beauty that makes Hāna so special, offering visitors an unforgettable glimpse into one of Maui’s most scenic and peaceful corners. Ho’okipa Lookout Perched atop a dramatic sea cliff on Maui’s North Shore, Hoʻokipa Lookout offers some of the island’s most spectacular coastal views and a front-row seat to one of Hawaiʻi’s most famous ocean destinations. Known worldwide as a premier windsurfing and surfing spot, Hoʻokipa has long attracted elite athletes who come to ride its powerful waves and consistent trade winds. The overlook provides sweeping views of the turquoise Pacific, rugged shoreline, and the vibrant marine environment that makes this stretch of coast so special. Guests visiting Hoʻokipa can often spot Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu) basking on the shoreline below, especially during the afternoon hours. Whether watching world-class surfers carve across the waves, photographing the dramatic coastline, or simply taking in the panoramic ocean scenery, Hoʻokipa offers an unforgettable experience that captures the natural beauty and adventurous spirit of Maui. It's a must-see stop and one of the island’s most iconic viewpoints. **Paia Town ** Experience Maui’s most laid-back vibe in Paia town, once the hub of Maui’s historic sugar cane industry.
