The Hāna Highway is a 64.4-mile long stretch of spectacular views of rainforest, waterfalls, beaches and coastline. On the east after Kalepa Bridge, the highway continues to Kīpahulu on the Piilani Highway. Although Hāna is only about 52 miles from Kahului, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive when no stops are made as the highway is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one lane wide. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hāna, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910 and all but one are still in use. This full-day trip to the Hana coast has the best scenic drive along the shorelines of Maui.

Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the Road to Hana tour? Is there a lot of walking involved?

A: You’ll want to wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes since there are a few stops where you'll be walking around, especially near the waterfalls. I'd suggest bringing a light jacket as it can get a bit cool in the rainforest. Don't forget your swimsuit if you plan on swimming at any of the black sand beaches!

Q: Is this a good gift for someone who’s not super adventurous? How intense is the drive?

A: Totally! The drive has breathtaking views and is more about taking in the sights rather than being physically intense. There are plenty of stops to stretch your legs and snap photos. Just remember, the roads can be winding, so if your gift recipient is prone to car sickness, maybe pack some ginger candies!

Q: Can this be rescheduled if the weather's bad? What do you do then?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather’s not cooperating! They usually check the forecast and will let you know if it’s safe to go. If you do need to change your date, reach out to them as soon as possible, and they’re pretty flexible about it.

Just did the Road to Hana tour, and it was AMAZING!

I went on the full-day scenic drive last week and wow, what a trip! The views were unreal, especially the black sand beach at Waianapanapa State Park. We stopped at a few waterfalls and had the best Spam Musubi for lunch. It was super relaxing, but just be prepared for the winding roads! I can't recommend this enough as a gift for anyone visiting Maui.

Thinking about gifting the Road to Hana experience, any tips?

So, I wanna get this tour for my sister’s birthday. She loves nature but has never been to Hawaii. Any tips on how to make this gift super special? Should I include anything extra with the gift? I just want her to have an unforgettable day!
