Also be prepared because it can get very cold (regretted not packing gloves and a beanie).”

He made sure we got every nook of Road to Hana and really made the money we spent worth it. Sale has immense knowledge of Maui and everything on the road to Hana. Little things as simple as where to get the "I survived the Road to Hana" and he took us to places we are so grateful we ended up stopping at. If you want to make every penny count please make sure you book your trip…”
