Duration: 30 mins
11. Ke‘anae Peninsula
The Ke'anae Peninsula is a short detour off of Hana Highway, but it’s well worth the time for its stunning views of the ocean ripping through jagged lava rock. There are public restrooms at Ke'anae Park by the softball field.
Duration: 10 mins
12. Aunty Sandy's Banana Bread
As you’re leaving the Ke'anae Peninsula, you’ll spot Aunty Sandy’s Banana Bread on the left side of the road. Aunty Sandy’s serves up warm loaves of banana bread that are made fresh daily. We highly recommend you stop for a bite.
Duration: 15 mins

Duration: 15 mins
16. Waikani Falls
Waikani Falls is actually a series of three waterfalls, also known by its nickname -- the Three Bears Falls. Don’t worry, there are no bears in Hawaii. The falls likely got this nickname because the three falls have varying heights: short, medium, and tall, just like the family of bears in the children’s story Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
17. Hana Lava Tube
This cave was formed when hot lava from an eruption cooled and hardened on the exterior, while it continued flowing in the inner core. After the lava drained out, the hardened exterior shell remained, forming a cave.

Duration: 45 mins

Duration: 60 mins

Duration: 5 mins
23. Koki Beach
Hawaiians have a name for this spot – it’s called Ka Iwi o Pele, which means "the bones of Pele." The hill is a cinder cone that erupted lava just before Mount Haleakala went dormant.
Duration: 30 mins
24. Hamoa Beach
This is a perfect family beach because of the protected cove and the large sandy area. If the waves aren’t too strong, there is some pretty decent snorkeling on the far left side of the cove. To access the beach, park next to the road and take the set of stairs down to the sand.
Duration: 30 mins
25. Wailua Falls
As you continue driving towards Kipahulu (Haleakala National Park), look out for Wailua Falls along the road. It’s a breathtaking, 80-foot waterfall. The best view is from the right of the bridge. Be mindful of other drivers on the road as you keep an eye out.
Duration: 1 mins
26. Pipiwai Trail
Once you get to Haleakala National Park at Kipahulu, we recommend you check out the Pipiwai Trail. This 3.5-mile rainforest trail offers beautiful views of two waterfalls and a bamboo forest. If you’re short on time or looking for a family-friendly option, you can just hike about 0.5 miles to the first lookout point where you can see Makahiku Falls.
27. Ohe'o Gulch
This is by far one of the most popular stops on the Road to Hana. 'Ohe'o Gulch, also known as Pools of ‘Ohe’o and Seven Sacred Pools, is a series of cascading waterfalls that lead to pristine rock pools.

Duration: 10 mins
29. Alelele Falls
Visiting Alelele Falls requires a short hike that crosses a stream, but other than that, it’s pretty accessible. The falls are roughly 50 feet tall, and there’s a pool for you to swim in. If you’re looking to get back before dark, skip this spot and keep driving.
Duration: 20 mins
30. Huakini Bay
Get one more beach in before you end your day! After a short walk to the shore, you’ll notice this beach is covered with rocks! Although you won’t feel sand between your toes, stop and listen as the waves crash onto these rocks. You’ll hear a loud rumbling if the conditions are right.
Duration: 30 mins
