Show MoreExplore the Road to Hana in a completely unique way. Similar to our Classic Road to Hana Tour, you’ll drive the 64.4-mile stretch of Hana Highway from the town of Paia to Hana. However, instead of returning the way you came, you’ll complete a counterclockwise loop around the island discovering the rarely explored backside from Hana.
Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!
• Hike to Twin Falls
• Explore Wai'anapanapa State Park to visit a Black Sand Beach (advance reservations required)
• 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.

Customer Reviews
Best $20 ive spent on an app in a while! We were said when we had to say goodbye to Chaka guide at the end of our tour. We did the road to Hana and the road back from Hana (Piilani highway) but we're a bit behind schedule. However, our Chaka Guide provided some great info along the way, and prepared us for the drive back (don't do it at night!). Really though, it was so informative and fun, highly recommend if you are driving the road to Hana!

This has to be one of the greatest app ever created. My wife and I took the “Classic road to Hana tour”today. The app took all the guess work out and allowed us to simply enjoy the moment.
