Description
Go to Hana with Polynesian Adventure Tours! This trip is a blast!
Driving from the airport to the sunny resort side of the island, you might not know of Maui’s lush green valleys and verdant tropical rainforests. Hidden away on the eastern coastline lies one of Hawaii’s greatest treasures. Often appearing on travel lists for Most Scenic Drives, the Road to Hana is absolutely about the journey, as much as the destination. Polynesian Adventure Tours will make sure you enjoy both!
Let an expert tour guide safely maneuver the 600 hairpin turns and 52 one-lane bridges required to reach the end of the scrupulous drive to Hana. Along the way sit back, relax and be mesmerized by towering bamboo forests, swaying eucalyptus trees, bubbling waterfalls, jagged lava rock coastline, and the black sand beach of Wainapanapa State Park.
Among many other stops, Polynesian Adventure Tours is one of the few companies with a permit to enter the Haleakala National Park Kipahulu District. This quintessential waterfall location, also known as O’heo Gulch or Seven Pools, is actually hundreds of freshwater pools that flow into the ocean against a rainforest backdrop. Weather and water conditions permitting, you can actually swim in the falls! There is no better refresher after a long drive than a dip in these majestic pools.
On beyond the green windward side of Maui, continue on the road less traveled–the back side or southern route around the island! This road straightens out compared to the winding, looping journey you just survived. Notice the stark contrast, as this is the side of the volcano with nearly no rainfall. From here you have incredible views of neighboring islands, Molokini and Maui’s south side. Continue past the Kula and Upcountry areas (Maui’s agricultural heart), and return to the resort after a full day of sightseeing, photo opportunities and skillful navigation by knowledgeable guides.
Enjoy the breathtaking splendor of the Road to Hana through a large picture window, and leave the driving to the professionals with Polynesian Adventure Tours. Take a step back in time to an undeveloped, rural Maui and see why the “Hana side” of the island captures the hearts of so many.
