Does Royal Caribbean Offer Road to Hana Tours?

[Ramjet1997]

We are booked for another Hawaii cruise on Ovation (May 7-19, 2020), and we will be in Maui for 18 hours (8AM-Midnight).

Does anyone know if Royal offers a Road to Hana Tour since the ship is there for 18 hours?  TIA

Thanks, Silver Sweethearts!  I tried to look for our particular 2020 cruise excursions, but they are not listed yet...this is exactly what we are looking for.....now I wonder if it is worth it since it's 9 1/2 hours long.  Some of our RCL excursions have been less than satisfying even at 3-4 hours - lots of apologies from them but this is a looong time....thanks again!

As far as we can tell, your ship will be tendering in at Lahaina, Maui.  The drive to Hana and back from Lahaina is, in our opinion, a bit too much for one day.  You will be on the road most of the time.  Maui deserves to be seen close up and not just in passing through the window of a van.  Our opinion once again, but save the road to Hana for a time when you have more time on Maui.

Thanks for your insight, Silver!  I actually drove over to Kahuli the first time we were in Maui, but I was not interested in tackling the drive to Hana as our ship was leaving later that evening.  We will probably just hang in Lahaina - but you never know we may rent a car for the day to see more of the island. We did visit Whalers Village and drove up the Kaanapali coast to Kapalua. Thanks again!

We did the road to Hana on our own this past Sunday.  It does make for a long day, but you will never see such beautiful landscapes again.  It was breathtaking.  The other thing to consider is fitness level.  My friend and I are in our 40s.  We logged over 15000 steps on my Fitbit and 80 flights of stairs.  However, we stopped as much as we could and took trails.  We went down into the lava tube (which I’m not sure if excursion vans stop at).  The trails at the black sand beach led to spectacular views, but there is a lot of stepping up and down along the trail.

RCCL will put you in a van with more than likely 10 to 12 other people for this journey to Hana.  This is something that you will enjoy much more if you were to do it yourselves on a land based vacation.    9 hours in a van!!!!  Not a very pleasant way to spend the day.        We will be heading to Australia next year and will be stopping in Maui for a few days and we plan on doing road to Hana at that time as long as we can find a car rental that will allow it.
