Overview

Travel in comfort aboard our 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van on this Halfway Road to Hana tour, ideal for guests who want a shorter, relaxed experience while still exploring East Maui.

This half-day journey includes lush rainforests, scenic coastline, and local favorites like Hana’s famous banana bread — all without committing to a full-day tour.

Stops are limited strictly to the itinerary below and may vary due to weather or safety conditions:

-Jaws Country Store (restroom/snack break)
- Ke‘anae Peninsula for coastal views and photos
- Aunty Sandy’s Banana Bread
- Pua‘a Ka‘a State Wayside (waterfall swim, conditions permitting)
- Ho‘okipa Beach to see green sea turtles

With small groups of up to 10 guests, our local guides prioritize safety, clear communication, and a smooth experience.

Important: Some departures require a minimum number of guests. If the minimum is not met, guests are contacted in advance to reschedule or receive a full refund.
