When I first visited Maui in the 1970's, I was told that I "might enjoy a Maui land tour to the area known as Hana. “There are waterfalls” they said, “it's very pretty..."
What an unbelievable understatement that turned out to be!
In all my world travels I have yet to take a land tour to see a spot that rivals Maui’s Hana coastline in sheer beauty and power of nature. Each bend of the narrow, winding road carved along the Hana coastline curves into a valley of waterfalls and fresh water pools. Dense jungle and rainforest are so thick in places you wonder how anyone could have made the trek before the Hana Highway.
The forest appears in layer upon layer of higher and higher canopies of overgrowth and spreading trees. The African Tulip tree stands out against the emerald green as beautiful plumes of brilliant orange high above the forest dome. The pale green of Kukui trees, which produce the Kukui nut used in ancient Hawaii as a source of oil for night lanterns, softens the dark forests of Koa and hard woods. The air is fragrant with the sweet aroma of ginger blossoms and everywhere you look are tropical flowers of all colors and shapes. Tropical fruit trees line the road - and sometimes cover the road - with mango, papaya, guava, passion fruit, mountain apple, breadfruit and wild berries. Hana is heaven on Earth and you should consider taking one of our fabulous land tours there to see it.
Tom's Tips - Maui Land Tours
- Take a mini-van Maui land tour. That way, you won't miss a single view or wonder what the name of that huge tree is. You'll learn all about the place names, the plants, flowers, and the Hawaiian stories and legends of the area.
- Drive yourself in a rental car if you choose, but pay close attention to the road and the traffic. Hundreds of curves, narrow bridges and very wet areas will keep you within the speed limit. You'll want to stop at lots of the turnouts to let traffic pass and to get good photos of waterfalls and valleys, old bridges and tiny villages.
- The trip to Hana is a full day. Don't make the mistake of planning something else for later.
- Take along a bathing suit even if you are going with one of our land tours. You'll find lots of cold, refreshing pools and streams that just beg you to jump right in. Guaranteed to change your life.
- Bring your camera.

Sightseeing Tours and Land Tour in Maui - Maui can be very deceptive at times. I’ve known many people who have come here and who have been hypnotized by its beautiful white sand beaches off Kaanapali and Napili on the West and off Wailea and Kihei on the South side. Sometimes I guess that’s what a vacation is all about, just doing as little as possible and re-charging your batteries. But I’m going to try to persuade you, if you possibly can, to break away from the sirens call of the magical Maui beaches and at least once during your vacation visit the other side of the island, which is every bit as magical but in very many different ways. Did you realize that there are as many as eight separate climatic zones on this small 48 mile long island. Aside from the white sand beaches we have jungle coastlines, deserts, redwood forests, upcountry agricultural areas. Haleakala gets so cold at times that it snows up there. We have certain areas, lands and regions that are so specific in climatic conditions that certain forms of flora and fauna live only there and no other place on the planet. Maui has so much in so little space. You owe it to yourself to go out and see it, if only for one day.
