Highlights
- Bamboo Forest - First we’ll stop at the Rainbow Eucalyptus trees and bamboo forest. Here you’ll get to explore and if you’re daring, climb, the rainbow eucalyptus trees native to southeast Asia and see a glimpse of the ocean. Then, we’ll venture into the shady, bamboo forest and see hidden waterfalls along our path and maybe even reach some hidden waterfall ponds!
- Haipua’ena Falls - We’ll stop at a fun, quick, waterfall hike right off of Hana Highway in which you can easily and safely cliff jump, rope swing, or walk into a beautiful, large, waterfall pond. Before or after, we’ll make our way to the back of the falls where we’ll take photos and swim under a large waterfall and play in a lava cave!
- Honomanu - We’ll drive down a hidden road off of Hana Highway to one of the largest bays on the east side with a black sand beach! Here I’ll tell you a little about the political status and history of the islands of Hawai’i and optionally take you to see an ancient Hawaiian garden part of a restoration project a local friend has started (local experience you cannot get anywhere else!)
- Ke‘anae Point - We’ll drive into an old Hawaiian farm town to see what the culture is like from early Hawaiians and try some of the best homemade banana bread in the world from Aunty Sandy! (local experience you cannot get anywhere else!)
- Hanawi Falls - If we’re not too hungry, we can do a waterfall adventure seeing more than 5+ waterfalls at one location, with plenty of ponds and caves to swim in and explore. Some of the cliffs are perfect for jumping or sunbathing by the water!
- Koki Beach - We’ll stop at Koki Beach to grab local Huli Huli chicken for lunch and get a glimpse of a bird sanctuary island off the coast and maybe even spot Big Island if it’s clear.
- Hana - We’ll stop in Hana town for lunch at the food trucks, as well as Koki Beach specifically for local Huli Huli chicken. We’ll take our lunch to a very quick hike to a secret beach and set up a picnic blanket and eat on the sand with beautiful views of the blue ocean water!
- Venus Pool (Waioka Pond) - If there is time, we can make a last stop at the Venus Pool (Waioka Pond) to cliff jump into a huge brackish water pond that is right next to the ocean at sunset to end our amazing, adventure day!

Best Photo and Road to Hana Tour! - Ty picked me up from the airport with coconut water and a bright smile. From the moment she greeted me, I knew the day was going to be packed with fun! She took me not only to great spots for photos but she told me more of the history of the island, the people, and the culture. It was wonderful connecting with her on a personal level while also seeing her work professionally as a tour guide and photographer. Her pictures made someone as awkward and camera shy as me, feel comfortable and fully enjoy being present on this gorgeous adventure. I would highly recommend this for any solo travelers and anyone who's a little crowd adverse. Ty makes the trip memorable for all of the right reasons.

Once in a lifetime adventure ✨ - The road to Hana is a once in a lifetime adventure and Ty knocks it out of the park! She is incredibly thoughtful in making sure this adventure is unique to each group and that you feel comfortable. You can tell she cares deeply about the Hawaiian heritage and culture, and does a wonderful job educating you. Not to mention, she knocks the photography piece of this adventure out of the park. I was blown away by the beauty of every stop that we took and it made me appreciate Maui so much more than I could have ever imagined. Highly recommend!
