Road to Hana in a VW Westfalia Camper Van | 11 Things to Do on the Road to Hana, Maui Hawaii

Sure, rent a Jeep for the Road to Hana. Or, do it right with a VW Westfalia camper van rental. Here are 11 of the best Road to Hana stops in a camper van.

We love the Road to Hana on Maui. Our neighbors recommended we try it with a Volkswagen Westfalia camper van and we may never go back with a regular car. Finding a place to camp is the hardest part right now. We stayed in our friend's field but links below for public campsites. Come along with us as we explore the Road to Hana with all the best things to do in Maui, Hawaii.

There is so much more to see, do, and eat on Maui. Let us be your guide. Our itineraries share so much more than our videos! Check them out here:

Did that in June 2020. It was so amazing to see the other side of the island.

[GeoffreyMoran]

We are coming to Maui/Hawaii for the very first time in May. We are so excited to see all these places in person!!! If you have any suggestions please send me some!

[SixHandWorld]

Did you guys do the road to Hana one way or turn around at some point? Noticing the mile markers go up and then down on your trip.

[jmmelvin]

You guys are so awesome. Love the detailed videos 😊

[NomadShifu]

The Hana Highway is great from a car, but to appreciate it, you're going to have to stop frequently, get out of the car, and in some cases, walk or hike a bit to see things. The highway is beautiful from a car window, but it cuts down on its "worth" in our book if you aren't likely to step outside the car.

Great video! Sorry if I missed it, but I see that cell service doesn't work.

But does phone GPS work out there? Or I need to download an app so it's preloaded with guidance?

[DhandeepLodaya]

Hey, I really like your videos and we have been following them for our trip to hawaii.

I have a small suggestion that would help me (and other folks) immensely who are relatively untrained with the name and location of each place.

if you have a small map on one corner of the video, which puts a point on the map for what is being described, it would add next level of understanding for your avid viewers.

PS; i got most of the above info from your Website guide and had to have it printed in my hand while watching these videos to visualize the locations!

Cheers and keep it up!

[BillHaynal]

Love your videos, I'm going to Maui this October for my first time!

[michelle_]

Great videos! I can't wait for our Maui trip. Thank you so much for all the informative videos you are sharing. BTW, are there available restrooms along the way on the road to Hana?

[chibidora]
