    Incredible video!!! Thank U for the information and the opportunity to see Maui's tropical side in a personable way.
  • @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.
  • @BillHaynal
    Love your videos, I'm going to Maui this October for my first time!
  • @DroneStudios
    Jordan! I'm heading to Maui next week with my gf and just watched this video. Love it!!!
