Itinerary

1. Sea Arch
Begin the day with a scenic site and geologic wonder! As you drive along this country road, you’ll soon spot a rock formation in the ocean. This sea arch was created by an ancient dried lava flow that has carved out a hole by the ocean’s unrelenting waves.
Duration: 5 mins
2. Huakini Bay
Next is a visit to Huakini Beach. 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
3. Nuu Bay
This is the first of many beautiful views that the tour has to offer! From this windy spot, you can see Nu’u Bay and Mount Haleakala.
Duration: 10 mins
4. Alelele Falls
Alelele Falls is one of nine waterfalls you'll visit on on your adventure today! Visiting the falls requires a short hike that crosses a stream, but other than that, it’s pretty accessible.
Duration: 20 mins
5. Charles Lindbergh's Grave
Just before Haleakala in a remote graveyard is the final resting place of Charles Lindbergh, the famous aviator known for being the first to fly nonstop across the Atlantic from New York to Paris.
Duration: 10 mins
6. 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. This is the perfect place to spend some time, especially since you’ll arrive before the crowds.
7. Pipiwai Trail
While you are at Haleakala National Park at Kipahulu, we highly recommend you check out the Pipiwai Trail. This 3.5-mile rainforest trail offers beautiful views of two waterfalls and a bamboo forest. The hike is rated moderate and takes about 2 hours to complete.
8. Wailua Falls
As you’re driving, look out for Wailua Falls along the road. It’s a breathtaking, 80-foot waterfall. The best view is from the left of the bridge. Be mindful of other drivers on the road as you keep an eye out.
Duration: 1 mins
9. Hamoa Beach
Want to sit back and relax for a little? 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.
Duration: 30 mins
10. Koki Beach
Koki Beach is another great spot to kick back and relax. One interesting feature of this spot is the large hill beside it. Hawaiians have a name for this spot – it’s called Ka Iwi o Pele, which means "the bones of Pele." This hill is a cinder cone that erupted lava just before Mount Haleakala went dormant.
Duration: 30 mins
11. Hasegawa's General Store
This general store has been owned and operated by the same family since 1910. It has everything from snacks to souvenirs. It’s a great place to stop to pick up food and drinks for the road. Note the only gas station in Hana is next door to the general store. This is a good spot to fill the tank for the road ahead.
Duration: 5 mins
12. Hana
We recommend you grab a bite to eat here in Hana. There are loads of options to choose from.
Duration: 60 mins
13. Black Sand Beach
Visit one of Maui’s only black-sand beaches. Created when hot lava shattered in contact with the ocean, this beach is unlike any others on the Road to Hana.
14. Kahanu Garden & Preserve
Kahanu Garden is a National Tropical Botanical Garden outside of Hana featuring native plants of value to Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
Duration: 45 mins
15. Makapipi Falls
Makapipi Falls is one of the most interesting falls on the tour. Not only does the highway cross over the cascades, but the waterf flows from a lava streambed into a beautiful pool below.
Duration: 1 mins
16. 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: 15 mins
17. Waikani Falls
Waikani Falls is actually a series of three waterfalls, also known by its nickname -- the Three Bears Falls. 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.
18. Wailua Valley State Wayside Park
Wailua Valley State Wayside offers an excellent view of little Wailua Town and a famous church called the "Coral Miracle Church." From the overlook, you can also see the Haleakala Volcano behind you. You may even get lucky and see a waterfall or two cascading down in the distance.
Duration: 15 mins
19. Halfway to Hana
Looking to grab a snack for the road? Stop at Halfway to Hana Food Stand. This snack shop also has fresh banana bread, shave ice, lunch items like burgers and sandwiches, and small bites like fruits and chips.
Duration: 20 mins
20. Ke‘anae Valley
Pull over for an amazing overlook of the Ke’anae Peninsula. You will see a large shoulder on the right that provides a great bird's-eye view of the peninsula.
Duration: 5 mins
21. 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 also public restrooms by the softball field at Ke'anae Park.
Duration: 10 mins
22. Aunty Sandy's Banana Bread
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
23. Ke'anae Arboretum
Perhaps you’ve heard of the rainbow eucalyptus trees on the Road to Hana? If you’re hoping to see these colorful trees up close, here’s the spot! And even better, the Ke’anae Arboretum is free and open to the public.
Duration: 30 mins
24. Nua‘ailua Bay Lookout
Pull over to view sheer cliffs and crashing surf at Nua’ailua Bay.
Duration: 5 mins
25. Honomanū Bay
Park in the pullout for a view of Honomanu Bay.
Duration: 5 mins

Duration: 10 mins
27. Garden of Eden Arboretum & Botanical Garden
The Garden of Eden is a family-friendly spot with a variety of exotic plants from tropical rainforests throughout the world. While you’re there, you’ll see stunning coastal views and catch a glimpse of the Keopuka Rock, which was featured in the opening scene of Jurassic Park.
Duration: 60 mins
28. Waikamoi Ridge Trail
This family-friendly trail is a short, three-quarter-mile loop that takes you through a forest of giant eucalyptus and mahogany trees.
Duration: 30 mins

Unbeknownst to most, there are actually three different falls in the area -- Twin Falls, the most easily accessible, and Rope Swing and Caves.
Duration: 30 mins
30. Pe'ahi Jaws Surf Break
During the months between December and March, when the wind and ocean conditions are just right, Jaws can produce waves as high as 70 feet! There are many big wave competitions held here every year that attract the best surfers from around the world.
Duration: 10 mins
31. Ho'okipa Beach Park
The consistent strong winds and good waves here, make Ho’okipa a world-famous beach for windsurfing and kite surfing. You can stop here briefly to check out the surfers and watch the sunset!
Duration: 10 mins
32. Paia
You made it! You conquered the Road to Hana! Now that you’re in Pa'ia, we suggest you unwind with dinner at one of this seaside town’s quaint restaurants.
