So once you arrive into the sleepy town of Hana, be sure to pull into the Hana Food Truck Zone at 5200 Hana Highway. You'll for sure want to check out Da Fish Shack for some of the freshest local-caught fish on Maui! This food truck is run by a chef with years of experience preparing ono, ahi, mahi-mahi and shrimp, along with Black Angus cheeseburgers and freshly made coleslaw, fries and sides.

F R ESH C A U GH T F I SH The Best Way to Tour the Island Premier Providers It's an undisputed fact that the Road to Hana is one of the most awe-inspiring sightseeing adventures Maui has to offer. And though it's true that those adventurous enough to drive it may find the hairpin turns and one-lane bridges exhilarating, some of us would honestly rather leave the driving to someone else. Luckily, there are some great companies offering guided tours to Hana that pick you up right at your hotel. Hands down, our two favorite Hana guided tour companies are Haleakala EcoTours (808) 575-957, and The Maui Touring Company, (808) 214-5804. Haleakala EcoTours features comfortable air-conditioned touring vehicles that can accommodate individuals, couples, families or even large groups. They'll pick you up at your hotel or condo, take you to Hana or Haleakala (see the sunrise with them), and drop you off at the end of the day. Their tour guides are very knowledgeable about the island and Hawaiian culture, so you'll not only see a lot, but learn a lot too! Butch from The Maui Touring Company is the owner and tour operator and does private, luxury excursions to anywhere you'd like to go in his big, comfy SUV - perfect for small groups or couples. So if you want to relax and leave the driving to an experienced guide, we suggest you give either of these companies a call! 46 Maui Island Guide & Driving Magazine • MauiDrivingMagazine.com REVIEWS Places Along the Road to Hana HANA
