4. Maui’s Road to HanaThere’s no more famous road trip in Hawaii than the road to Hana—52 miles, 600 curves, 59 bridges, 46 of which are one-lane. On the way there are waterfalls, bamboo groves, lush greenery, ocean views and a sense you’ve slipped out of civilization When you get to Hana, you’re likely to say there’s nothing there, nothing except tranquility and a unique, small community. People drive both ways in a day, but that’s a tough day. We suggest spending at least the night in Hana to really appreciate the drive. Mo bettah no hurry.
