Detailed itinerary

1

A surfer town with tons of character, Paia is the perfect way to kick off your journey to Hana. If your group needs a little energy boost, we can stop at one of the cafes in town and grab a round of coffee. Alice is Hululand is the perfect spot to grab a funky souvenir, or find out what tasty tropical fruit is in season at Mana Foods!

A stunning black volcanic rock shoreline that juts out into the powerful waves of the Pacific is the backdrop to a glimpse of the Maui's past. Here in Keʻanae, the traditional method of loʻi kalo (wetland taro) agriculture is still practiced. Enjoy a loaf of the famous Aunty Sandy's banana bread (as featured on National Geographic's Uncharted with Gordon Ramsey!) while you watch and listen to the thunderous waves breaking on shore.

3

One of the most awe-inspiring views on the Road to Hana, look out over the tranquil village of Wailua and the vast ocean beyond. Facing Haleakela, you are treated to a panorama of the Wailua Gap, a densely forested valley stretching as far as the eye can see towards the crater. See how many waterfalls you can count cascading down the valley walls!

Witness the jaw-dropping beauty of ‘Ālau Island, a seabird sanctuary dramatically battered by waves. Enjoy the view while strolling along the pockets of red sand beach, and look out at Leho‘ula sea arch back towards town. Uncle Russell's Huli Huli Chicken, as featured on National Geographic's Uncharted with Gordon Ramsey, makes an excellent plate lunch to be savored at a picnic table looking out on this gorgeous landscape.

An absolutely beautiful beach that is perfect for body-surfing, Hamoa Beach is nestled within a ring of cliffs overflowing with greenery. Soft, salt n' pepper sand runs all the way into the crystal-clear water, so the whole family can enjoy the waves without worrying about rocks!
