Description: Also known as Hana Highway, this 68 mile stretch connecting Kahului with Hana in east Maui makes a beautiful – and popular way – to spend a day in Hawaii. The road begins in the surfing community of Pa’ia, and proceeds east along a narrow, winding road that crosses 59 bridges (46 of them one-lane) and treads 620 curves, all through lush, tropical rainforest full of scenic waterfalls and lush coastal vistas. Be sure to pack a lunch because on-the-road options are limited, and driving each stretch of the highway typically takes three hours. Once you reach the eastern end of the trail, be sure to check out the Ohe’o Gulch, a series of waterfalls and pools inside the
Haleakala National Park, also known as the “Seven Sacred Pools”. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to charge your camera!
