We had the opportunity to speak with Kainoa Carlson with @hinowdaily back in February where we delved into the significance of embracing a responsible mindset when traveling. It is crucial for visitors to prioritize leaving their destination in a better condition than they found it and to seek immersive experiences that go beyond the typical Maui vacation.

One prime example of promoting sustainable and regenerative tourism on Maui is through legally guided tours on the road to Hana. These tours play a vital role in fostering a mindset of environmental responsibility and contribute to the preservation and enhancement of the local ecosystem. Every year, thousands of travelers embark on the breathtaking journey along the road to Hana, often utilizing their own private vehicles. We strongly encourage considering the option of taking a guided tour, as it serves as an effective means to minimize the impact of visitors on the road to Hana and the Hana community. By doing so, visitors actively contribute to the preservation of this remarkable route and the overall well-being of the local community.
