72 tours  ·  from $50 a head

The Hana Highway is beautiful and exhausting to drive yourself. These 15 hand the bends to a driver, and differ on group size, lunch, how far past Hana they go and whether they reach the black sand at Waianapanapa.

Your guide handles the winding road and adjusts the day to your interests. Guides named in past tours include Melissa, Charlie, Shayne, Kobe, Spencer, and Donovan, but assignments can vary.

“This was such a great way to see the Road to Hana. Koby was the best! He has an encyclopedia like knowledge of Hawaiian history, culture, and local customs. He answered our questions, took us to some places off the beaten path and introduced us to some locals. If we had done this on our own, we would’ve seen a lot of pretty scenery, but would’ve not experienced Maui the way it should be experienced. Thanks Koby!”

We loved learning about his experience as a child and his family. The way he navigated the roads to Hana was so seamless and made it seem so easy but we also could relax knowing he knew what he was doing. We would definitely recommend Valley Isle Excursions and specifically to request Spencer! The bus was also very comfortable.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 343 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $299

Alec’s private, eight-hour Jeep tour trades a rushed drive for stops at waterfalls, a bamboo forest, and other places along the Road to Hana. You choose how far to go, often halfway to two-thirds of the way, with hotel or vacation-rental pickup, lunch at a local food stall, and photos and video along the route.

“Alec is laid back yet adventurous which is a perfect match for our family! Countless friends who drove themselves on the Road to Hana said it was not worth the trek. Alec explained that most people are in such a rush to get to Hana that they miss all of the beautiful sites along the way which is what happened in these cases. While we only made it 3/4 of the way to Hana, we saw everything on our list. Alec took care of every detail - water, snacks, lunch, photos, etc - allowing us to truly enjoy every minute of our day. Even returning us to our hotel almost…”
