Our Review: Hana Tours of Maui
Hana Tours of Maui does one thing: the Road to Hana. Four tours, all focused on the same 64-mile stretch of Maui's most famous highway, averaging 92.2/100. That kind of specialization breeds expertise, and the scores back it up.
The Deluxe Hana Tour and Private Halfway to Hana Tour both score 97/100, placing them among the highest-rated individual tours on Maui. The Deluxe tour runs the full Road to Hana with stops at waterfalls, botanical gardens, and black sand beaches. The guides are locals who grew up on this road. They know which pull-offs have the best views, which swimming holes are safe on any given day, and which banana bread shacks are worth the stop. The Private Deluxe Hana Tour (96/100) is the same route with just your group in the vehicle.
The private options are where Hana Tours separates from Polynesian Adventure and the other bus companies. A private Road to Hana tour means the guide adjusts the pace to your group. Want to spend 45 minutes at a waterfall instead of 15? Done. Want to skip the tourist stops and hit the hidden local spots? The guide can do that. That flexibility is worth the premium.
The Halfway to Hana Tour (79/100) scores lower and covers only the first half of the drive. It exists for travelers with limited time or motion sickness concerns, but the full route is the real experience. The first half has the waterfalls. The second half has the payoff.
Who This Operator Is Best For
Anyone who wants the Road to Hana done right. If you're choosing between driving yourself and booking a tour, Hana Tours of Maui is the strongest dedicated Hana operator we've reviewed. The private tours are ideal for families and groups who want a custom pace. The deluxe group tour is the best value for solo travelers and couples.

Heavy rain from the past day is clearing out tonight. You'll see scattered showers Friday morning—lighter and less frequent than what came through—then dry trade winds move in and stick around through at least the middle of next week.
Windward and upland areas will still catch occasional brief showers even as things dry out, but leeward sides turn partly cloudy to mostly clear. Moderate surf holds on south, north, and west-facing beaches through the weekend, close to warning strength. Winds stay gusty through Friday as the system pulls away, then ease once the trades lock in.
Beach days and snorkeling on leeward shores start looking good Saturday. Summit trips and exposed hikes are best waited until winds ease this weekend.

Heavy rain from the past 24 hours is ending tonight. You'll catch scattered showers through Friday morning—lighter and thinner than what just passed. Trade winds take over after Friday and hold steady through the middle of next week, bringing drier conditions and partly cloudy to mostly clear skies on the leeward side.
Windward areas will still see brief showers even as things dry out. Moderate surf hits south, north, and west-facing beaches through the weekend, close to warning levels on the south shore but not quite there. Gusty winds persist tonight and Friday, especially near mountains and exposed coasts, then ease once the trades settle.
Leeward beaches and snorkeling spots turn prime starting Saturday. Save the summit drive and ridge hikes for when winds ease this weekend.
