One-Day Road to Hana from Oahu — Round-Trip Air Ticket Included
A one-day, island-hopping trip from Oahu to Maui that puts you on the Road to Hana with round-trip air included — waterfalls, black sand beaches, banana bread and a packed day of coastal drama.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness meds
The Hana Highway is twisty; if you're prone to motion sickness, take something before the flight or bus ride.
Pack water shoes and swimwear
Several stops include swimming or rocky shorelines; water shoes protect feet and make pools easier to access.
Layer for sudden weather shifts
Expect sun, mist, and rain in a single hour; a lightweight rain shell and warm mid-layer keep you comfortable.
Carry ID and copied documents
Round-trip inter-island travel requires ID and the operator asks for passport/ID info at booking—bring originals and a copy.
