I have been looking on-line for tours and they pretty much all now go all the way around the southern tip of Maui because of the road being open. Last year we drove about halfway and came back and drove up to the volcano because we only had three days and could do only so much.
This year we want to relax and take the tour. Nearly all go clockwise but there is one that goes in a counterclockwise direction. My intincts are saying going counterclockwise will not be best for photos since much of what I will be seeing will be in shadows. My wallet likes the counterclockwise tour because it is about $20 bucks cheaper per person.
Has anyone ever taken a road to Hana tour that starts on the west side of the island going south and then comes back on the east side of the island? The more I am thinking about this the more I think I need to forget about saving the money because there is a reason why nearly all the tours start off on the east side of the island.

update: the more I think about it the more I will rule out the couterclockwise tour as the time of the day makes a huge difference in photos and it would be a waste to be in such scenic places during the wrong times of the day. I think we will go with Valley Isle Excussions.
