Hear the guide

It knows what’s worth pulling over for.

This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Road to Hana tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.

“…This is a headline stop, but know that entry is by reservation only, so you need to have booked that in advance.”

The Hana Highway, narrated

The tips that save your Road to Hana day.

Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, in the order you’ll reach them driving east from Paʻia toward Hāna and Kīpahulu.

    Sells out

    “It’s one of the most popular stops on the road and can sell out by early afternoon, so it’s a good place to stop when you see it.”

    App tip Arrive before 10 am to avoid the longest lines and sell-outs.

  2. Waiʻānapanapa Up next0.4mi

    Reservation only

    “This is a headline stop, but know that entry is by reservation only, so you need to have booked that in advance.”

    App tip Screenshot or download your QR code before driving—cell service is unreliable.

  3. ʻOheʻo Gulch Up next0.6mi
    Tiered waterfalls and pools of ʻOheʻo Gulch in Kīpahulu, flowing toward the ocean
    Viewing only

    “The pools themselves are for viewing only, as swimming is almost always closed. The best way to see the gulch is from the Kuloa Point Trail…”

    App tip Keep your Haleakalā summit receipt to re-enter within three days without paying again.

Questions before you go

How does the self-guided Road to Hana tour work?

Open Parkwolf, tap Start Tour Guide and drive. Your phone’s GPS triggers each story as you approach an overlook, trailhead, pullout or hidden spot. There’s no set route, so take any road in any order.

Will it help me plan my Road to Hana itinerary?

Yes. Every stop has the app’s tips on timing, parking and crowds, and every trail lists its distance, climb and time, so you can plan your day before you go. Then the guide narrates it as you drive.

Does it work without cell service?

Yes. Download the Road to Hana before you go and the map, the narration and every tip work offline, even where your phone shows no bars.

What does it cover?

The Hana Highway from Paʻia past Twin Falls, the Garden of Eden, Keʻanae and the roadside waterfalls to Waiʻānapanapa and Hāna town, then Hamoa Beach, Wailua Falls, Kīpahulu’s ʻOheʻo Gulch and the Pīpīwai Trail, and the back road through Kaupō: 118 stories in all.
