VIP Private Road to Hana Tour in Cadillac Escalade — Luxury Maui Day Trip

The Experience
Before You Go
Start early
Leave with the first light to beat afternoon crowds and get the best light for photos on the coast.
Bring anti‑nausea gear
Even as a passenger, the road’s curves can prompt motion sickness—ginger or motion bands help.
Wear grippy shoes
Short hikes and shoreline stops can be slippery; trail runners are better than flip‑flops.
Respect cultural sites
Observe signage and avoid stepping onto private taro patches or heiau—ask your guide for context.

Conservation Note

Paʻia grew as a sugar plantation hub in the 19th century; the Road to Hana follows old coastal trails and plantation-era alignments.
