Private Open-Air Bronco Tours on Maui
Hawaii By Storm’s private Open-Air Bronco tours make the drive part of the experience. The elevated seating and open-air design give your group a clearer view of East Maui’s rainforest, waterfalls, coastline, and the road ahead while a local guide handles the curves, timing, and changing conditions of the Hāna Highway. Each Bronco is reserved for your group of up to four guests, and the displayed rate covers the vehicle rather than charging per person.
Choose a six-hour Half-Day Hāna tour, the full-day Hāna & Back route, or the Famous Epic Hāna adventure through Maui’s backside when road, weather, and access conditions allow. Stops and swimming opportunities vary with weather, water, traffic, reservations, legal access, and safety.

See More of the Road to Hāna From a Bronco
The Hāna Highway is part of the attraction, not just the route between stops. From the Bronco’s elevated seats, guests can enjoy broader sightlines above roadside guardrails and fewer barriers between them and the rainforest, waterfalls, and ocean views. The Bronco’s suspension also helps smooth the winding road while your guide focuses on driving.
Because every tour is private, the day can move around your group’s interests and current conditions rather than a large group’s fixed schedule.
Why Choose the Open-Air Bronco?
Designed for private groups of up to four guests, the Bronco is a natural choice for couples, families, or friends who want an outdoor feel throughout the drive. The open-air setup makes it easier to experience East Maui’s changing air, sounds, and views, while the higher seating position helps guests see more of the landscape.
Why Tour With a Guide Instead of Driving Yourself?
The Hāna Highway involves more than following a map. Parking, reservations, community rules, legal access, traffic, weather, waterfall conditions, and timing can all affect the day. A local guide handles those details and can revise the order of stops when conditions change, leaving everyone in your group free to enjoy the route. No specific stop or swim is guaranteed; safety, access, and respect for East Maui communities come first.

Choose Famous Epic Hāna for the most extensive route, including backside Maui when weather, road, and access conditions permit.
Preparing for an Open-Air Day
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a secure hat, a light layer or rain shell, comfortable footwear that can handle damp ground, and a charged phone or camera. Pack a towel and swimwear if you hope to swim, and secure loose belongings before departure. Guests sensitive to winding roads should prepare before pickup and let the team know about any concerns.
