Private Road to Hana Tour: Halfway to Hana or Hana and Back

Driving the Road to Hana isn’t for the faint of heart, which is why we love letting someone else do the driving while we soak up the sights. A private tour offers a nice opportunity to go at your own pace and add (or skip) whichever stops you’d like. We love that this company has a halfway to Hana tour because it’s a wonderful alternative to a 12-hour day in the car!

Activity Details

If you’re not interested in a group tour and you’d rather customize your trip experience, Awapuhi Adventures is a great choice. They specialize in private tours and you can choose your activity level.

They offer a full Road to Hana tour where you can customize your stops, including being dropped off to enjoy the Pipiwai Trail hike. A full day Road to Hana tour is around 12 hours. If that’s too much for your trip, they also offer halfway to Hana tours, which won’t take you all the way to Hana, but you’ll get to experience the beauty of the tropical windward side of the island during the 6-hour tour.

It’s also a great option if you’re traveling with kids who you don’t think can do an entire Road to Hana day.

Base pricing is for two people in the vehicle and you can add on passengers for an additional fee.
