Overview

#1 We go ALL THE WAY AROUND THE MOUNTAIN so you don't see the same thing twice! #2 We do it in REVERSE, the way the locals do it! #3 This is a PRIVATE TOUR, so its just your family in the vehicle with the tour guide! There are a few options to choose from to explore the Road to Hana so you can experience the rainforest & its waterfalls, streams, fresh water ponds, bamboo forests & lush foliage, but there is only one company where the owners are actually a Native Hawaiian husband & wife team that were born & raised Hawaii. We pride ourselves in sharing the Hawaiian culture, history, & stories about Hawaii & what its like to live life here in the islands, while treating you like the VIP that you are! Our family history goes back 150 years & they still live in a little community out on the Road to Hana. While on tour we'll stop by our family's fruit stand that has been operating for 40 yrs & is the home of "the original banana bread," as well as have a fresh hot lunch in Hana.

  • Round-trip transit from your Fairbanks hotel makes logistics seamless
  • Meet the dogs, learn mushing commands, and go dog sledding
