So the car rental companies say you shouldn't drive this road. They pretty much take all the fun out of driving around Maui. The road is fine except for a five mile stretch of one lane road. The scenery is fantastic - blowhole, shoreline, mountain views, ocean views, and banana bread. Take it slow and easy. At the end (travel clockwise) visit the Iao Valley. It's pretty and serene.
The road starts just past the Ritz-Carlton in NW Maui. It follows the shore and has so many scenic areas that it's difficult to pick just one. The blowhole can be missed. There are two parking lots with round boulders. The first one is not the one. Go to the second one and look down.
