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.

Road to Hana
The Shaka Guide made our trip up the Hana Hwy a whole experience. Our kids (9&11) were engaged and entertained the whole day. We loved learning the history, and stories of the Road to Hana.
West0127 | 3 days ago | iOSUsed this on Maui for the road to Hana, and it was very informative and helpful. Was recommended to us, and would definitely recommend it to others. Much cheaper than getting a real tour guide!
Kris Anderson | 1 week ago | AndroidGreat Guide!
It was a great experience! We loved the music and stories of history that made our drive entertaining. It’s awesome that it was usable offline, and we learned about stops that we otherwise would have missed. It is customizable to what you feel like doing in the moment. We got the Classic Tour Road to Hana guide, and it was totally worth it!
