Fabulous Road to Hana 7

We did the Road to Hana tour in Maui and it was amazing. We took so many beautiful pictures. Our tour guides name was Kalei, he made the tour great, he was very informative and made sure we knew when to have our camera ready. I would definitely request Kalei from Hawaiian tours to be our guide if we ever make it back to Maui 7.
