Road to Hana

Road to Hana Driving Tips and Advice, plus Road to Hana Map and Closures. When it comes to driving the Road to Hana on Maui, it's the journey, not the destination, that is the main attraction. There are few words that can describe the beauty of this drive with its cliffs cloaked in green and lush valleys bursting with waterfalls. Curves hug the coast and gaze over an ocean that stretches uninterrupted all the way to the Alaskan coastline. Couple that with black, red, and white sand beaches, a multitude of trails, and beautiful gardens and you've discovered the highway to heaven itself.

We highly encourage all visitors to consider a guidebook when driving the Highway. It's the best way to determine which stops are for you and which aren't. A lot of folks simply let the clumps of cars along the road be their guide. Big mistake. There are a lot of great places along the Hana Highway, but there are also several stops you'd be wasting your time stopping at. That said, we invite you to let us be your guide. We've driven the Hana Highway a few hundred times over the last few years and eventually we said, "Why not put what we know in a book?" And, we can now better educate visitors on what spots are off-limits (or kapu) as well. Our guidebook, "Hana Highway Mile by Mile: The Road to Hana and Beyond" will navigate you along the 52 miles of undeveloped road, 56 one-lane bridges and 617 curves. You will pass by the most breath-taking scenery on the face of the earth. It was literally a million years in the making. And the journey doesn't end in Hana, it continues well beyond the sleepy coastal town at the bay.
