Hey Elaine! The tour will change every week based on the driver, the weather and a bunch of other factors so I wouldn’t worry too much about any one aspect — just talk to the tour guide the day before and I’m sure they’d be happy to give you more details on what they have planned. Regardless, even if you have to sit out one of the activities, it’s not to be missed!

Great article! I was considering doing road to Hana with Banana Bungalow myself, but I was wondering, would you recommend this to a beginner or non-swimmer? I have also never cliff-jumped before and I am afraid of having to do it!

In reply to Nishi.

Hey Nishi — it’s not a swim I would recommend for anyone who isn’t totally comfortable in the water. There were definitely parts where I wasn’t touching the bottom and it being totally in the dark in some parts… I would perhaps sit this one out if I were you. There’s plenty else to enjoy!

Hi Alex – Thanks for the fantastic post! Couple of questions: How difficult was the swim in that black cave? were u able to stand on your feet? Were there any non-swimmers in the group?I am a beginner level swimmer and am wondering if i will survive that.

Thanks,
Nishi

Did you try Stand Up Paddling?!! We went with https://HawaiianPaddleSports.com/maui-stand-up-paddle and it was the best thing we did. Jason, our instructor was great and took photos of us with Sea Turtles!

[…] to have, but one of my best memories from Maui is the creepy and very unofficial tunnel I took on the Road to Hana! It involved swimming and treading water through pitch black underwater caves, and occasionally […]

In reply to Shaun. It was truly amazing! Tricky to photograph, because there isn't too much light, but definitely an amazing setting for a bit of a trek!

In reply to TammyOnTheMove. Jumping off tall things is one of my favorites! I get a big adrenaline rush and I get to look like a badass, which I'm really not :)
