If you travel to Maui, one experience you shouldn’t miss is the Road to Hana tour. There are three options for guided tours, but for the most adventurous spirits, especially those who have already taken the classic way, the reverse route offers the most exciting experience. Here are some of the benefits of this road less traveled.

3 Reasons to Join the Reverse Road to Hana Tour

1. Less Traffic

Since most people take the classic Road to Hana route, the reverse tour gives you the advantage of an open highway with little traffic, especially during the morning hours. You’ll get to enjoy the scenery with fewer crowds.

One of the most popular stops is at the Pools of 'Ohe'o inside the Haleakala National Park. In the reverse path, you’ll arrive at this beautiful swimming spot before most people, so you might even have the pools to yourself. 

2. See the Landscape Differently

If you’ve already taken the traditional tour, you’ll get to see a new side of Hana on the reverse. The road takes you along Maui’s eastern coast, and on a clear day, you’ll be able to see the Big Island across the sea. While cruising through the backside of Hana, you’ll marvel at the volcanic scenery alongside the ocean in the morning light.

3. Different Food Stops

For those who have explored the Road to Hana’s eateries before, you’ll get to try new places on the reverse tour. Indulge in grilled entrees at the Ulupalakua Ranch Store, or treat yourself to coconut ice cream and fresh fruits at Hana Farms. 

If you’re ready for an exciting guided tour along the Road to Hana, join Hoaloha Jeep Adventures in Wailuku, HI. They offer private Jeep tours on Maui, so your party can travel off the beaten path and experience some hidden gems that can’t be seen by tour bus or rental car.
