Road to Hana (Hana Highway)

The Road to Hana, also known as the Hana Highway, is a scenic drive along the northeastern coast of Maui, Hawaii. Originally built in the early 1900s to connect the remote town of Hana to ... the rest of the island, this winding road is now famous for its breathtaking views of lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic seascapes. Popular activities along the Road to Hana include stopping at the Seven Sacred Pools in Ohe'o Gulch, exploring the black sand beaches at Waianapanapa State Park, and hiking to the Wailua Falls. Visitors can also enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the many freshwater pools and streams along the way. The best time to visit the Road to Hana is during the dry season, which runs from April to October, to avoid the frequent rain showers that can make driving conditions challenging. It is recommended to start the journey early in the morning to allow plenty of time for stops and exploration. Immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions by visiting the small towns and villages along the way, where you can sample traditional Hawaiian cuisine, shop for handmade crafts, and learn about the history and customs of the native Hawaiian people. Don't forget to respect the land and its sacred sites by following the principles of "malama aina" (to care for the land) during your visit. Read more ▼
