Maui’s Road to Hana
The narrow, twisting "Road to Hana" is popular for all the right reasons. You'll pass great scenery, roadside stands and take in some retro Hawaii atmosphere. Bring a camera, a good pair of hiking shoes and a laid-back attitude towards the speed of traffic around you.- Hang out in Paia - A classic, quirky Hawaiian surf town at its best. This half-mile stretch of shops, restaurants and local hangouts is a great place to people watch, grab a bite and pick up unique souvenirs for your friends back home.
- Get your banana bread to go – The road to Hana is lined with small stands selling fruit, snacks – and banana bread. Every stop claims to be the best, so you'll probably have to try a few.
- Visit the Garden of Eden – Ten miles into your drive, you'll reach the Garden of Eden. This lush 26 acre botanical garden is packed with native Hawaiian plants and picture-perfect overlooks. Take a breath, re-center, then head back to the car.
- Choose your waterfall – Wondering why all those cars are parked along the road? The drive to Hana is famous for its waterfalls, and your new favorite is just around the next bend. Some, like Twin Falls, have parking lots, amenities and a steady stream of visitors. Others are simply a well-hidden hike off a generous shoulder.
