2.VIP Road to Hana Private Tour in Convertible Bronco

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews Top rated

Spend about eight hours on a private Road to Hana outing in a convertible Ford Bronco, with a local guide such as Shannon, Malia, JJ, or Jill. The route can be tailored to your interests and may run in reverse when road conditions allow. Expect waterfalls, beaches, local food, cultural stories, and stops at places many visitors would miss on their own.

“Our guide was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the route, the plants, the history and the culture of Hawaii. She has a beautiful singing voice and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Hawaii playlist on our return ride. The lunch she suggested was fantastic. She helped me get in the waterfall pool area so my husband could take the pictures. That was extremely helpful. It was an incredible experience. We were impressed by her driving skills. The Road to Hana is not something I would want to drive myself. If you can, book this tour. You will never forget it.Read more”
