Hana Highway - Road to Hana, Maui

4.2
#1 of 28 in Scenic Drive in Hawaii
Must see · Scenic Drive · Tourist Spot
One of the area's most famous highways, Hana Highway - Road to Hana is about the journey rather than the destination. Your 84 km (52 mi) trip between Kahului and Hana will guide you to some of the island's most beautiful sites, many of which are significant in local mythology. You can drive the road yourself or take a tour. The latter is a better option for nervous drivers because the winding road is very narrow. Along the way, you'll see towering waterfalls, miles of coastline, and gardens, and will have several opportunities for hiking or swimming. Food vendors are dotted along the highway, but it's a good idea to bring water and snacks with you. Stop at Halfway to Hana to sample some of its famous banana bread. Use our Makawao travel itinerary planner to arrange your visit to Hana Highway - Road to Hana and other attractions in Makawao.

    Such a gorgeous ride. Tons of greenery + waterfalls you can see from the road. We were there during a medium to heavy downpour of rain so we didn't get out of the car as much as we wanted to. This....  more »

    Took the road to Hana. Many curves and one lane bridges. Would like to have pulled over more places but no or limited pull off spots. Would hate to be here in high season and when there is no COVID...  more »

    The most scenic and beautiful drive ever! From volcanic landscapes to ocean view to mountain with lush trees, you see everything on this drive. Would recommend to go all the way around instead of turning back the same way if you are comfortable with driving.
  • By Grady Nautel
    An amazing all day activity. If you are in Maui this is a must do, prettiest views on the island. Black and red sand beaches, waterfalls, hikes, cliff views and more.
