The Road to Hana & the Rainforest

What the day feels like
What the Day Feels Like
Expect a long, guided day that trades driving for sightseeing: pickups from your lodging or a meeting point in Kahului, a Safeway stop to pick up provisions, then a paced run along the Hana Highway that passes bamboo stands, multiple waterfalls, coastal lookouts and beach stops, with time to swim, walk the black sand and sample local food.
