Description

Complete your Maui vacation with an adventure on the Road to Hana! On a Private Tour, the entire family enjoy the ride and no one needs to navigate the hairpin turns. Witness the natural beauty of Maui interwoven with history and stories throughout the journey. Holo Holo Tours offers 3 excellent private tours that can be catered to your vacation needs!

Experience the Road to Hana through the eyes of a local guide! You'll gain great insight into life on the island, learn about tropical plants and fruits, and be led to some "off-the-beaten path" spots that regular tours just don't go. Because of the small size and private nature of these tours, you don't have to stick to a set itinerary. If you are having a great time at the black sand beach, you can stay longer. Want to stop at THAT waterfall to swim? Sounds great! We can make that happen. If you see a beautiful view out the window and want to stop for a quick photo, the driver / guide is able to respond to your request. Don't even try that with a bus tour!

Holo Holo Maui Tours operates three different sized vehicles ... for smaller groups they have an 8-passenger Honda Odyssey Minivan, and for larger groups they have 10-passenger and 15-passenger Ford Transit vans. But don't worry ... the vehicle is all yours. They aren't going to sell additional seats to anyone else! It is COMPLETELY private just for you and your family/group!

Lunch is available to purchase during the tour. Holo Holo Maui recommends that guests eat an early breakfast before the start of the event.

Private Tour Options

Taste of Hana

This tour starts by passing through Maui's sugar cane fields, and your guide will tell stories of the plantation era. You will pass Ho'okipa Beach Park, which is a world class surfing and wind surfing spot. Next you will journey through the rolling countryside of Huelo into a thick bamboo forest, and you'll stop to gaze at the vividly colored rainbow eucalyptus before you get deeper into the twists and turns of the road to Hana. Look out for the many streams, waterfalls surrounded by ferns, moss, fruit trees, bamboo, and birds. You may stop for a dip in a waterfall pool (depending on the strength of the flow). Next, stop at a fruit stand for shave ice and Maui's famous Banana Bread. Next is Keanae peninsula, and you will be brought to a traditional Hawaiian village known for its taro fields. Mahi'ai (cultivators) tend to the fields in the same way as their Hawaiian ancestors. Check out an original stone missionary church built in 1856. This was the only building to survive the devastating tsunami of 1946. The last stop is at the village next door, Wailua, which has the best waterfall on the road to Hana. Waikani is a grand 3 tiered waterfall, and you can take a short adventurous trail to the base. Departure time is flexible; they recommend between 8am -10am. Duration: 5-6 hours.

Hana Bound

In addition to sights from Taste of Hana, you will be taken to an underground path through an ancient lava flow! You can observe the interesting features with headlamps. This is a highlight for those curious about caves, and geology, and Hawaiian mythology. Learn about Pele, the Goddess of Fire who created the Hawaiian Islands, and a famous deity often referred to as Ka wahine ʻai honua, "The earth-eating woman". Stop at Coconut Glen's to enjoy the culinary treats of ice cream and candy made from Maui coconuts. Next on the agenda is Wai'anapanapa Beach Park, which means "glistening water" or "water flashing rainbow hues". Dip in the ocean, swim through the sea caves, or enjoy the lush tropical beauty around you. Following the black sand beach is Nahiku Marketplace, which is a mini-village of tropical delights and a great place to indulge in local-style cuisine such as smoked fish, coconut shrimp, or baked 'ulu (breadfruit). Find a variety of locally made gifts for your friends and family back home. Hana town is the final destination! It was the seat of power for all of Maui in the 15th Century. Departure time is between 7:00am-8:30am. Duration: 8-9 hours.

You will notice the stark contrast between the dry and wet sides of the volcano. Climb up to get a panoramic view of Maui's coastline and the outer islands. Watch the sun setting from an upcountry vista as you are taken back to your original starting point. Departure time is between 7:00am-8:00am. Duration: 10-12 hours.
