Iao Valley and Upcountry
Our Mauna to Mauna (Mountain to Mountain) tour explores the valleys and slopes between Maui’s two prominent volcanic mountains. We take you exploring several sites located between Maui’s two ancient volcanic mountains. Begin with a visit to historic Iao Valley and Heritage Gardens, with its lush foliage and running streams. Then meander to Ho’okipa beach and on through several charming towns in Maui’s Upcountry region, such a Makawao, and choose between a variety of activities and places to eat. Finish the day cruising a dirt road high up along Haleakala’s southeastern face, with views typically seen only from an airplane.
Many guests use this tour for their last-day adventure on Maui. We picked you up at your hotel or vacation rental. Venture through as many ecosystems as if driving from Mexico to Canada. Learn about Maui’s richly diverse culture and history. Then enjoy the convenience of being dropped off at the airport.
The summit of Haleakala is not included as part of this tour since we do not have a permit to enter the park. Tour companies without a permit are not allowed to take anyone into the park, even if the guests have their own pass.

How Many People Can You Fit In A Jeep For A Tour?
We can fit 3-4 people in a Jeep. We have several Jeeps that can caravan together if your group is larger than 4.
Do You Pick Us Up?
Yes. We offer complimentary pickup at your hotel, vacation rental, or cruise ship.
Are Your Jeep Tours Private?
Yes. We only offer completely private and customized tours of Maui for our guests. Rather than joining a loaded bus tour with strangers, your group is assigned your own tour guide for the entire day to do and experience whatever you’re interested in. Your tour guide is also your driver so you can enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes at your own pace.
We Want To See The Road To Hana But Don’t Want To Be There All Day. What Do You Recommend?
We would recommend the Halfway to Hana adventure. This is the perfect tour for those who just want just a sample of the famous Hana Highway. You will experience the rainforest, a few waterfalls, and incredible coastal views. Plus, we will share geological and historical tidbits along the way. All in the comfort of a Jeep–with the convertible top up or down–whatever you’d like.
We Have Already Booked A Waterfall Hike. What’s Something Else We Can Do On The Jeep Tour?
We offer a variety of experiences. Our best one is traveling on the road to Hana. Most tour companies travel clockwise and hurry you from place to place. With our Jeep, we can go off the main highway and explore areas no one else can. We can go to the Hana Lava Tube, a black sand beach, and swim in waterfalls. Let us know how much time you have and what activities interest you ahead of time.
How Long Is The Road To Hana Tour?
There’s a Halfway to Hana 6-hour tour, a Road to Hana 8-9 hour tour, and a Circle Hana (or Reverse Hana) Highway 9-10 hour tour. You can select the adventure that is right for you.
What Time Do The Tours Begin?
All Hana adventures begin at 6:15 am. This early start time allows us to get ahead of the crowds and you can enjoy the popular locations with a few people as possible. If 6:15 am is too early for you, we can pick you up at a time that works best for you (no later than 9 am).
The West Maui Mountain adventure begins at 9 am.
What Should We Bring On Our Tour, And What Do You Provide?
We recommend you bring swimwear, towels, a rain jacket, long sleeve shirt, sandals, a hat, sunscreen, bug repellent, and sunglasses. We provide bottled ice water and a cooler. Feel free to bring whatever food/drink you may need with you as well. Lunch and snacks can be purchased at several roadside stands–and we can recommend good places. Bring cash as many of these places have no internet.
Do Your Tours Enter The Haleakala National Park?
No. We do not enter the Kipahulu area (Seven Sacred Pools) nor the Summit Area (crater) of Haleakala National Park.
What Is Your Cancellation Policy?
Our official policy is we understand things happen outside of your control. With this in mind, if you cancel four (4) days prior to your scheduled adventure, we will refund 100% of the cost of your tour. Cancellation within four (4) days prior to your scheduled adventure will receive a 50% refund. Day of no shows will not receive a refund.
With this in mind, let us know if you need to cancel as soon as possible, and we will do our best to provide a 100% refund.
