This is also the Threatened Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle capital of Maui, with 200-pound turtles feeding along the shoreline and basking on the beach all day long. • Description Ho’okipa Beach Park is one of the top spots for ocean sports and recreation in Maui. Located at Mile #9 on Hâna Highway (36), this breath-taking white sand beach boasts some of the best waves on the Maui coastline. A mecca for surfers of all ages since the 1930’s and the “home of contemporary surfing,” Hookipa Beach is among Maui’s most popular sites for events large and small. The Aloha Classic and Red Bull surfing competitions have come to Ho’okipa and the Maui Sports Foundation sponsors a number of events each year. Stops made upon request.

Black Sand Beach • Wainapanapa is Maui’s famous Black Sand Beach. Cobalt blue Ocean surrounded by black sand and black lava rocks from a recent flow only 10,000 years ago. Go for a walk along the edge of the bay and check out the blue water or just sit under a nice shade tree. This location is a great place to spend an hour relaxing, taking in one of the islands most beautiful locales. Fresh Water Caves and Lava Tubes • We take you to volcanic caves which you could explore. And if you are lucky you could witness the legend of the caves come alive. Certain time of the year red shrimp appear, turning the water red. Let our tour guides tell you the legend of Princess Popoalaea. Blowhole • See what happens when a lava tube meets the ocean. On the right day, you can see water spouting 20 feet in the air and mist blowing sideways for 200 feet.
• Just past the Keanae Arboretum along the Hana Highway, you'll find a road on the left past mile marker 16 down to the village of Keanae. Pay attention to the jagged, black lava rocks and note that there is no swimming here due to the dangerous and rocky shoreline. • • A traditional Hawaiian village, Keanae is known for its taro fields, much like their ancestors.

Our driver and guide...

Awesome day to Hāna
Marty was an awesome very knowledgeable guide. He was funny too, which made the trip very memorable!
Beautiful sights and scenery!
A great day trip. I would definitely recommend taking this guided tour, so you can enjoy the sights and scenery of the Hana Highway without the worry of all the twists and turns. Sean, our driver and guide, was knowledgeable and a safe driver. He knew all he turns, and bumps in the road. He gave us the heads up when a photo opportunity came up. A couple of us in our group got queasy along the way and Sean was prepared with motion sickness patches, goggles and bags. He made sure to make stops as needed for us to get our bearings, explore and get some great photos. Mahalo!
A Day of Variety and Amazement
Malia was an awesome guide. She picked us up at the assigned time, which was early, but put us ahead of other tour vans. It was nice being the only group at a viewpoint or waterfall or bathroom stop! She kept things moving. We saw and did a lot. Malia was raised on Oahu and Maui, so she knew about the island and of course the culture. We were a family group of 13, ranging in ages from 6 to 70+, and Malia (our guide and driver) kept everyone entertained with activities that appealed across the generations. Be sure to bring snacks. I thought chips would be available throughout the tour, but it was just for lunch. Water was available throughout the day. The sandwich (lunch) was very generous. Lots of meat and lettuce on a big, fresh bakery roll. We ate lunch at the black sand beach. There are lots of feral cats looking for handouts and our animal-loving 6 y.o. granddaughter assigned names to them, and those cats ate well from turkey that “accidently” slipped out of our granddaughter’s sandwich. Malia was upbeat and energetic. She made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. The Road to Hana was beautiful, the scenery stunning. It did not disappoint!
