Romance and Adventure on the Road to Hana
There's a Hawaii that we've all dreamed about. Far away from the shops, bright lights, and touristy shows. There's a Maui where you're not cramped in between people you don't know. There's Hana and the road that takes you to it and beyond!
When you use R2H's Experiencing the Road to Hana and Beyond, you do just that. Rent your own car. Invite only the ones you love. Then travel to Hana on your own schedule. With this CD, tips, and Hana folding map, you're given all the best information to have the ultimate experience. But you get more than just points on a map. With R2H, you get the full experience with great music, helpful driving tips, and you'll be shown the Hawaii you've always envisioned.
Road to Hana Tour
"If you could do 1 thing in Maui, what would it be?" We get this question a lot.
Our Answer: "Travel the Road to Hana." There are plenty of reasons why we do it so often, even though we live here. Hana has some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. Every sight and smell brings you to old Hawaii (the way it used to be and the way it should still be.)
The best way to visit Hana is by taking a Road to Hana Tour with Valley Isle Excursions. Their experienced local guides will show you the best spots on the way to Hana. You'll also be picked up and dropped off at your hotel, fed throughout the day, and you don't even have to drive!!
Call 1-877-871-5224 to book your seats on one of Valley Isle Excursions luxury vans.
Hana Audio CD - Marty Dread
My husband and I were in Maui in September of 2008. We borrowded a CD with music on it that was designed for the trip. I am now looking for that CD, and was wondering if you could help me locate and purchase it. the CD featured Marty Dread and included his version of "Just Another Day in Paradise". That song has become very special to my husband and me, and I would like to locate a copy of it. Can you help me?
MelissaAloha Melissa,
We did some research and found that it's called "Hana Audio Tour: On The Road Again". We've yet to find anyone selling it, but we'll keep our eye out for it. Sorry we can't be of more help! Learn more about the Road to Hana.

UPDATE!!!!!!
I found it!!! I found it yesterday at Walmart in Kahului. You can buy it there, or maybe call Walmart and see if you can have them send a copy to the local store near you. It was in the Hawaii souvenir section of the store.
Road to Hana Car Sickness

Hello,We will be coming to Hawaii on a group vacation next year and some of the members in our group want to take the Road to Hana trip. Two of our members have issues with car sickness. Is this an issue on this trip while in one of the coaches?Thank you,Tina
It very well may be. If someone in your group gets car sick, you may want to take your own car so that you can turn around if it gets bad.Some of our friends also get car sick on the road to Hana. Here are a few things we do:- Bring Ginger Ale. Ginger is a miracle root for nausea. I've actually seen people suck on a chunk of fresh ginger root.
- Take anti-nausea pills. Go to the drug store and grab some Dramamine.
- Make frequent stops. You'll want to stop anyways to check out the view.
- Get a convertible. We love the open air of Jeeps.
If you're on a coach tour, you might not have the luxury of stopping everyone or turning back. Also, remember that you don't need to do the WHOLE road to Hana to get a feel for it and to enjoy some waterfalls. Stop and turn back when you want to with your own vehicle.I hope that helps, Tina.Hana Palm Tree Panoramic
We took this on a crazy amazing hike through Hana, Maui. If you look closely, you can see us in the bottom left corner. That kind of gives perspective on the szie of these huge Palm Trees!
New Hana Camping Panoramic
We shot this yesterday while traveling back from Camping in Hana. We took the Road to Hana back to Paia and ate at Flatbread Pizza.
The camping trip was EPIC! We enjoyed near perfect weather. It rained at the ideal times (when we were sleeping or while driving.) We also enjoyed checking out Ono Organic Farms past Hana Town. Some of the campers we were with are very good friends to the owners of this farm. We explored the grounds and enjoyed their hospitality.
Overall, it was a great Labor Day weekend camping and enjoying good company. ALOHA!
