Road to Hana

If you have the time in Maui, avoid the Road to Hana. Instead, take the Honoapiiani Highway north of Lahaina. The scenery is far superior. Alternatively, take the Piilani Highway from Pukalani toward Hana. The scenery is also beautiful, but there's a roughly 20-kilometer stretch of unpaved road, which can be quite slow. Both routes are far superior to the Road to Hana.

The first picture shows the scenery of the Road to Hana, and the following pictures are of Piani and Hono. Compare them yourself.

The Hana Highway has over 600 curves, and even I, who don't usually get carsick, got a little dizzy after sitting on it for so long. It was once named one of the world's most beautiful roads by National Geographic, but the highlight of the Hana Highway is the scenery that takes you deep into the roadside. In fact, the most common sight along the highway is the scenery surrounded by lush trees.

The Hana Highway blends mountains, ocean waves, waterfalls, and tropical jungles, creating a vibrant tapestry of scenery along the way. The northeastern section, just after joining the Hana Highway, is particularly breathtaking, with mountains, sea, and sky blending into one. The road is steep and winding, especially when crossing bridges, which are often one-way. Before entering a bridge, there are signs reminding drivers to watch for oncoming traffic and to stop and wait before proceeding. Several waterfalls are located near one-way bridges, so be careful not to park right at the bridgehead.

We drove around the island clockwise, stopping and starting along the way. We set off at 8 am and returned at 7 pm, which took 11 hours in total. Mr. Liu was already driving to the point of collapse!

Come experience the beauty of the road. We were lucky enough to spot one of Hawaii's mythical creatures: a monk seal. The Road to Hana passes over five waterfalls. If you're driving clockwise, I don't recommend going to the first spot, Twin Falls. Instead, check out the other waterfalls—no need for the trail! You won't miss them if you just pass by. Otherwise, we stopped wherever we saw a car parked! And if we saw a rest stop, we stopped to use the restroom. We didn't see a single restroom in the last hour and a half of our return trip back to the city. You know how it felt!

The Road to Hana is a mountain road with 72 bends, many curves, and multiple single-sided bridges. You can't go faster than 20, so it takes a long time. If there are two drivers in the car, it would be perfect.

I really underestimated the length of the Road to Hana. It took me nearly 10 hours to drive all the way, and I hadn't even gone diving for fun. The Road to Hana has so many attractions that any stop is a great place to enjoy. However, the road is narrow, with many curves and numerous speed limits, so driving is slow. While it wasn't as nauseating as some online reviews suggest, it did take a long time. I drove all the way to the end of the Road to Hana and saw the red sand beach, but I didn't drive any further. I heard the scenery is better further up, but it's a detour, and maps indicate that this section of road shouldn't be approached, so I gave up.

For the locals, they don’t take the speed limit seriously at all. In their eyes, those of us who drive honestly along the speed limit may be crazy.

I looked at the guide, which listed 20 attractions on the Road to Hana... I used the navigation to check in one by one.

Compared with other attractions I have visited, this one is slightly inferior, but it is still okay. You need to choose the attractions in one day. Don’t think about eating a big meal at once, because the mountain road is rugged and very narrow. You must rush back when it is getting dark.

It's truly breathtakingly beautiful, but the road can also be quite treacherous. Every step brings a new view. The Road to Hana says the entire journey takes about three hours, but the scenery along the way will make you want to stop and admire it, so it can take longer. Our round trip took nine hours—haha, really nine! We were reluctant to leave. (Because the road was blocked for a short distance later, perhaps due to a volcanic eruption, we didn't complete the entire route and instead returned the same way.)

There was no honking or overtaking along the way. Passing cars would definitely stop and give way. The warm and polite people made the journey more enjoyable.

The Highway to Hana is filled with scenic views, and you basically don’t need a guide. Whenever there are a lot of people and cars, you can stop and take a look, and you will definitely not return empty-handed!

On the Hana Highway, you'll find yourself immersed in the joy of discovering the beauty of the scenery. A strange phenomenon is that many people don't know what the next scenery is, so often at some less-visited attractions, if there are cars parked on the side of the road, everyone will stop and explore to see what scenery and treasures are there.

There was a very interesting phenomenon. Everyone stopped the car and looked around for a long time, but no one knew where the scenic spot was. In the end, everyone asked each other, shrugged their shoulders, and could only go back in a daze.

On this winding Road to Hana along the coast, there are not only breathtaking views from the beginning to the departure, but even more importantly, you may encounter surprises from time to time just around the corner!

Enchanting waterfalls, both large and small, are as commonplace on the Hana Highway as Starbucks in Manhattan, appearing at nearly every turn. It's no exaggeration to say that waterfalls accompany you along the Hana Road. Each waterfall has its own unique charm, but Twin Falls and Wailua Falls are still the most popular!

You can see many locals coming here wearing swimsuits, with a T-shirt on the outside. Once they arrive at the attraction and park their car, you will see the basic actions of taking off clothes and applying sunscreen!

99% of the road surface of Hana Highway is flat and wide, and it is not steep. However, it has more bends, and people who are prone to motion sickness may vomit.

Driving along the Hana Highway, I saw the ocean from a different angle with each detour. Sometimes, I couldn't see the ocean at all; other times, a sharp turn through the dense forest and a mountain road revealed the azure blue.

Compared to California's Highway 1, the Hana Highway is more winding, with beautiful and enchanting scenery. Driving the entire road by yourself is a wonderful experience, and it is also my favorite road on this trip!

Early in the morning, we geared up for our journey. The first thing we needed to do was fill up our tanks, stock up on food and drinks. The entire Road to Hana is a natural rainforest landscape, with no gas stations or restaurants. At best, there are snack shops selling a variety of snacks, including the famous banana boat bread! That's only in the middle of the Highway to Hana.

Driving along this beautiful ocean-view highway, along the winding coastline, is simply breathtaking! The Highway to Hana is packed with scenic views, so no guide is needed. Stopping at busy areas ensures you won't leave empty-handed!

Perhaps because our senses were greatly stimulated the day before, today's trip to Hana did not feel that shocking. It was a bit like a day trip to the rainforest. However, we were still very excited about the diverse and rich terrain of Maui.

In short, the Road to Hana is a must-see, especially the second half after Hana, which is where the action really begins. Don't just backtrack after Hana; keep going down and drive the full circuit—essentially, a long, circular route around the back of Haleakala.

We live on the west coast, and Hana is the easternmost point. Simply searching for Hana on the navigation system will display the route. After Kahului, it's a short drive until you reach the Hana Highway (see Figure 4, along the island's upper northern coastline). The road to Hana is mostly rainforest scenery. Eton Gardens is a popular spot, featuring a filming location for "Jurassic Park," but the rest of the gardens isn't particularly impressive aside from rare plants. Admission is $15 per person, so consider whether you want to enter. Personally, I didn't find the rest of the rainforest scenery particularly spectacular or breathtaking, especially for someone coming from southern Taiwan. It's pretty commonplace. It took nearly three hours of stopping and starting to reach Hana town. There's nothing worth stopping for in the town, but if you're running low on gas and want to continue the road past Hana, you'll definitely need to fill up your tank there.

The road past Hana is the best part (the road below the island, along the southern coastline in Figure 4). If you have the energy to keep going, don't backtrack! Our drive back to the hotel from Hana along the southern coastline took just over two hours, so it wasn't a long drive.

The following three pictures are all taken after passing Hana. It's even more stunning to see with the naked eye. The most beautiful scenery is always saved for the finale, and that's true. We stopped to take pictures while driving, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow across the ridge. It was quite beautiful.

Now let's talk about the common online belief that the road conditions are difficult to drive on. I would say it's not difficult at all... Compared to the winding mountain roads in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces in China, it's child's play. 99% of the Hana Highway is paved, wide and smooth, not steep at all. It just has a lot of curves, so it's super smooth to drive on. However, after leaving Hana Town, there are a few miles of unpaved road, which makes the drive a little bumpy. The rest of the road is nothing to say. It's so easy to drive on. I even started racing at the end of the road.

I knew there would be a lot of winding roads and was prepared for them, but my daughter vomited 5-6 times a day. It was a bit of a bummer. If your child is prone to motion sickness, you should be careful. From the starting point to Hana Town, it's mostly rainforest scenery, with the occasional waterfall, but it's pretty much the same. Some of the attractions were only worth visiting for bathroom breaks. We were short on time, so we didn't visit every one. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so we didn't eat all day. After arriving in Hana Town, we continued on to the road behind the volcano. I knew this was the highlight of the Hana Road, but it was even more amazing. The sunset was incredibly beautiful. There weren't many winding roads. Although it's an unpaved road along the cliff edge, I personally found it quite manageable. We preferred this route to the twists and turns and traffic jams. Be sure to time your trip well. Once the sun sets, not only will you miss the beautiful scenery, but the pitch-black darkness can be quite dangerous.

Don't stop at Hana Town, the real beauty lies beyond.

Chinese people may not have much feeling for this road, just a winding mountain road in the tropical rainforest. There are many such scenery in China, but after driving out of Hana Road, don't turn back and keep driving forward. I think everyone prefers the magnificent grassland, valley and field scenery and the cliff road by the sea.

The Hana Highway on Maui, Hawaii, is one of the world's most beautiful roads. The movie "Jurassic Park" was filmed here, and while the coastal scenery is endless, it's also quite dangerous. The route stretches for hundreds of kilometers, with thousands of inlets. Large vehicles are not recommended, as they are easier to navigate with smaller vehicles. The final section is in poor condition.

Although Maui is far less prosperous than Oahu, it has its own small and compact characteristics.

If I were to say what I was most looking forward to during this trip, it would be the Hana Highway.

The Road to Hana, described by Mark Twain as the "Road to Heaven," is consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful roads in the United States. It is an excellent self-driving route to experience the beautiful natural scenery of Maui, known as the "Magic Island."

We chose this place as our first stop on Maui

The Road to Hana, also known as the "Most Beautiful Highway," runs from Kahului all the way to the eastern town of Hana. It's a must-do for everyone visiting Maui. While it's called the Road to Hana, don't assume you're done just by reaching Hana. You can actually complete the entire loop back to Kahului. The second half of the route is quite challenging, with long stretches of dirt road, but once you've made it through, the scenery is truly stunning! Even more stunning than the first half! Make sure you complete the entire loop!!!

The scenery along the way is breathtaking, but there's more to this road than just that. Your journey is filled with surprises, and the drive is like a roller coaster, as the winding Highway to Hana weaves through cascading waterfalls, tropical valleys, rainforests, and towering cliffs, taking you to one breathtaking scene after another.

The twists and turns of this legendary road are indeed challenging, especially for a round trip in a single day. However, the route offers not only breathtaking island scenery but also traverses lush rainforests and gurgling streams and waterfalls. The scenery is endless, making it a truly unique self-driving experience. However, the aftereffect is that my husband dreams of slamming on the brakes.

The Hana Highway is considered one of the oldest, most dangerous, and most beautiful roads. It winds through 620 curves and crosses 59 bridges, 46 of which are single-lane, requiring a reversal on the way back. A round trip takes at least eight hours. While its beauty is a matter of opinion, it's certainly dangerous and long, consisting almost entirely of continuous S-bends and the occasional single-lane bridge. These bridges represent a potential collision with the vehicle ahead, and the sheer number of curves often makes it impossible to tell if there's traffic ahead.



Notes:

1. Since it takes 8 hours to go back and forth, it is best to leave home as early as possible and limit the length of time you spend playing. Otherwise, driving in the rainforest without street lights is really not that fun.

2. Bring some dry food with you, as there are not many restaurants on the way to the destination, Hana Town;

3. Running shoes are not recommended. You can wear slippers or river trekking shoes.

The road is narrow and winding, but fortunately, the road is in good condition. It's fun to walk and explore. There are small, unused "harbors" along the way where you can stop. There's also a good selection of organic food and products along the way, such as ice cream and after-sun products.

After checking out of the hotel, we regrouped and set off for the legendary Highway to Hana, the most beautiful road in the world! The Highway to Hana runs 52 miles through Maui's north coast, a series of twists and turns, punctuated by narrow, single-lane stone bridges and sharp U-turns. Just before we entered the Highway to Hana, we stumbled upon a breathtaking spectacle of crashing waves. Photos don't even come close to capturing the action. The rest of the Highway to Hana was quite different from what I'd imagined. I expected to see the sea meet the sky, and cliffs cascade down the mountain. Instead, it was a jungle adventure. Captain thought the scenery was wonderful, but I was dreading it—too many U-turns, and I was feeling motion sickness. After losing my shoes in the morning, drowning in the morning, and motion sickness in the afternoon, I had a truly wonderful day! My most memorable moments from the jungle adventure were the colorful eucalyptus trees and the scurrying critters (Captain called them "glaze"). Because of motion sickness, I didn't take many photos, but Captain recorded several clips with his GoPro, which he enjoyed watching back home.

On one side was the beautiful Pacific Ocean, and on the other, tropical jungle and waterfalls. The road wasn't as bad as I'd imagined, just a little narrow. It was all paved, though a bit hilly. There weren't many cars. Perhaps we were traveling off-peak.

The Hana Highway, once described by Mark Twain as the road to heaven, truly lives up to its name. It's simply beautiful, and every stop offers a breathtaking view. We encountered some magical colorful trees along the way, and even though the locals gave us a long list of names, I couldn't quite remember them. They were beautiful, and we loved them! Last year, we didn't drive ourselves, opting for a day trip on our own. It wasn't like joining a group, there weren't many people, and we didn't have to drive ourselves. Most importantly, it was very free. ***?u=246834 Feel free to check it out if you need it!

Hana is a road trip that rivals Highway 1 in the West Coast and is considered Hawaii's most beautiful. If Highway 1 is a lady of state, then Hana is a beautiful girl of modest means. The best way to explore Hana is from north to south. The forests on the left offer numerous hiking trails. So how do you find these scenic spots? The answer is: watch others! Any place you see a lot of cars parked along the way is definitely a scenic spot. So, throughout the journey, we just stopped when we saw others parked, which saved us a lot of trouble.

I definitely recommend driving the Hana Road. The twists and turns there are challenging and fun to drive. They're even more thrilling than Highway 1. There's a high chance of rain on the first section of the road. But if the weather is clear, the scenery is stunning. I'd definitely do it again if I had the chance.

Every turn brings a different view, and every scene is hard to leave.

Personally, I feel it's average. Friends who like driving may find it very novel, but we who ride in the car feel dizzy. We sat in the car for 4 hours, going back and forth. The adults were still looking at the scenery, but the children were bored to death.

In fact, it is not as good as the legend, and of course it is not as difficult to drive as the legend. It just has more bends and larger angles. However, it is still necessary to walk for the red sand beach in Hana Town.

We left the hotel early this morning. Maui, in my opinion, is the wealthier island in Hawaii. The nearly two-hour drive to the Road to Hana took us. Maui is incredibly large. It was drizzling, and we didn't see any rainbows. Along the way, we only encountered three compatriots, a family of three from Northeast China. The others looked like native Americans. We took the 54-meter single-lane bridge. Everyone was friendly. Despite the elevation gain and winding roads, it was relatively safe. We even had some famous American coconut ice cream.

It's a typical road that's known for its reputation, but in reality, it's just okay. Don't expect too much. It's just a bit winding, the driving is slow, and there are lots of trees. There are some small waterfalls in the beginning, some bamboo, and a nice garden, but it's the same everywhere in Hawaii, so I don't think it has much character. The road gets more interesting towards the end, near Hana. There's a nice black sand beach with people surfing, which looks like a lot of fun. I'd love to stay in Hana for a few days and learn to surf next time I go. The worst part is that the road basically has to go back the same way, and it usually rains in the mountains in the afternoon, so it's already late when we get back to our accommodations. The small woods are infested with mosquitoes, so be sure to bring mosquito repellent.

The Hana Highway is famous for its 40-mile route, boasting over 620 curves and 100 stone bridges. To the left, you'll see the shimmering ocean; to the right, you'll see the lush forest; and ahead, the winding road. It's truly a beautiful road!

To reach the waterfall's pool, you have to wade through knee-deep water. I took off my skirt and walked across in my bikini and river trekking shoes. The waterfall itself wasn't particularly impressive; the wild nature of the area was what mattered. Wading and swimming were the highlights of this trip.

On the Hana Highway, we passed through lush tropical rainforests and cascading waterfalls. The beautiful scenery was everywhere, making us linger and reluctant to leave.

The Hana Highway has more than 600 bends, with mountains on one side and the sea on the other. The scenery along the way is indeed beautiful, but the key is the winding bends. I personally feel that it is better to lie on the beach for a while. There are several famous landscapes on the road, such as the botanical garden, bamboo forest, rainbow tree, etc. They are all on the road. There is no need to check the specific location. The road is a single lane. If you see a parking space on the side of the road, it must be a place with attractions. If you want to see it, just stop by the roadside and take a look.

Black Beach, on the Hana Highway, was pretty good. It was windy and rough that day, so I just passed by and took a look.

On the way to Hana, I passed by a beach I don't know what it was called, but it was just as beautiful and the water was just as great! The best thing about Maui is that every beach is beautiful and the water on every beach is crystal clear.

The Hana Road is definitely a test of a driver's skills and endurance.

The road is mostly two-way single lanes, with lots of turns and, while the single-sided bridges aren't as long as those in New Zealand, they are more numerous.

The Hana Road is easy to drive at the beginning, the road is wide and there are not many bends, but as you go deeper, the road becomes narrower and narrower, and the bends become more and more numerous and sharper. This is the opportunity to experience the excellent handling performance of the Mustang

This road is only about 60 miles (about 100 kilometers) long, but don't underestimate these 100 kilometers. You'll encounter 617 curves of various shapes along the way, including U-turns, V-turns, and continuous sharp turns... I guess anyone who has experienced the Hana Road will sigh, "Oh my God, I guess I've turned every curve in my life..."

Thrilling as it is, the Road to Hana is a real test for both drivers and passengers. My sister was completely tortured by the twists and turns of this "Road to Heaven." She groaned in discomfort the entire way, and finally couldn't take it anymore. She pulled over and vomited for half an hour.

Most of the time, the road was hidden by dense trees and the sea was not visible. The road was narrow and it was impossible to overtake. We could only stop occasionally, take pictures, get in the car and continue on. There are many waterfalls on the roadside in Hana, but because it is winter, the water on the roadside waterfalls is very small.

The Hana Road is winding and has many sharp turns, but the scenery along the way is beautiful. It basically follows the coastline all the way, which concentrates on the unique coastal landscape of Maui. It must be recommended. However, if you drive by yourself, you must be careful along the way.

There are many fruit and snack stalls along the Hana Highway. Before entering Hana, you'll pass through a small town with the famous Mama's Fish House Restaurant, so don't worry about going hungry.

Today's itinerary is the famous Hana Highway. We set off early in the morning. I would advise those who are prone to motion sickness not to go, as it will make you very dizzy.

Having traveled California's Highway 1, Australia's Great Ocean Road, and Canada's Icefields Parkway, the Hana Highway really doesn't seem like much. Perhaps we haven't appreciated its beauty. There's really no place to eat along the way, so bring some dry food.

The road to heaven is the preferred route for self-driving tours.

People call it the road to heaven! Wow~~~~

I have to say! My camera can't capture the beauty!!! It was so beautiful! Along the way, there was the endless Pacific Ocean! There were black sand beaches! There were red sand beaches! There was the eye of the storm! There were waterfalls! There were mountains! There was a lake! There were all kinds of tropical plants! And all kinds of small animals! It was so exciting!

The Road to Hana is one of the top ten scenic routes in the United States. Because of the beautiful scenery and difficulty of driving along the way, it is known as the Road to Heaven.

The Hana Road is renowned for its scenic beauty and numerous winding roads, making it a great place to practice your driving skills. There are many scenic stops along the way, so it's worth searching Google beforehand to pick a few that you like. The road is long and there are many waterfalls, so it's not necessary to stop at every one.

The Road to Hana is one of the most scenic drives in the world. It runs 52 miles through Maui's north coast, starting east of Kahului and ending in Hana. It includes 20 miles on Highway 36 and 32 miles on Highway 360. The route features 620 curves and 59 bridges (46 of which are one-way, so be cautious and yield when passing them), traversing lush tropical rainforests. Given the sheer volume of scenery to see, we didn't make a detailed itinerary or commit to reaching the final destination in Hana. We simply explored at our leisure, enjoying the journey.

This is not a route suitable for large tour groups. Only by driving it yourself can you feel its uniqueness. In addition, you must learn to let the car

Near Hana 10 Mile, there's a Lava Tube site that I highly recommend. Since it's privately owned, there's an entrance fee, and each person is given a flashlight. While the cave is completely dark, there's information on the formation of the lava tubes and the current state of the organisms and plants there.

The Hana Highway is a well-known coastal scenic route. Because of its rugged and narrow road and low speed limit, you can see the sea view, waterfalls, rainforest and flowers along the way. It didn't rain when I went there, and the waterfall flow was unusually small. Compared with our country, it is really not worth seeing. However, the 83-kilometer road has 612 turns and 54 narrow single-lane bridges. I think what is more beautiful is to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

Today's drive is Hana Road, considered one of the ten most scenic drives in the United States. After filling up the tank and heading in, it was drizzling sporadically. The Mustang's awning would open for a moment before the rain started to fall, and then I had to close it again when the rain stopped. It was quite a chore. The road is full of curves, but not treacherous. There are plenty of cars parked at each viewpoint. The Mustang's cornering is also quite good, not causing any dizziness. The road is lined with typical tropical rainforest scenery, and you can often see a sliver of coastline after a while. However, the overall scenery doesn't quite rival the Big Island's Volcano Road. (That's the initial impression; the return is different.)

To get from Kihei to Hana Road, you have to take Highway 311 through central Maui. There was some traffic on this road that morning.

As many students said, there is nothing special about Hana Road. The road is well paved. Compared with the road we took west from Kahului Airport yesterday morning, Hana Road seems unremarkable.

The most exciting part was the unpaved stretch of road after Hana Road. While not completely barren, it was still uninhabited. On one side was the Pacific Ocean, and on the other, the foothills stretched endlessly. As long as you drive carefully and watch your speed, you'll have no problems, and soon you'll reach the well-maintained Piiani Road.

At 3,055 meters, while the temperature isn't as low as on Mauna Kea, it's still quite cold and windy. Wear your entire winter clothing set again, since you already brought it. It's said to be the most lunar-like place in the world. It's home to a science city built with huge investments from the Hawaiian and federal governments, complete with state-of-the-art telescopes for tracking satellites.

The Highway to Hana is actually the highway that leads to the town of Hana. It's beautiful because it offers so many natural sights along the way. Soon we entered the mountains, where the road twisted and turned, offering endless views.

The fun of the Road to Hana is, of course, the ocean view. The difference is that you don't see it from the same angle, but rather from different perspectives as you wind your way around. Sometimes, you can't see the ocean at all; other times, a sharp turn through the dense forest and a mountain road reveals a splendid blue.

But to be honest, during the short time I had my eyes open, I found the scenery quite nice. The mountain was covered with typical tropical plants, lush and bright, and at the foot of the mountain was the blue sea with people sailing and surfing.

The next day, our goal was to go to the famous Hana Road. I won’t say much about the beauty of Hana Road. Since we started late and Hana Road itself is full of twists and turns, with beautiful scenery everywhere along the way, we drove slowly. In the end, we didn’t drive the whole way and turned back.

The Hana Highway runs through Maui's north coast and is often considered one of the most scenic roads in the world.

Hana's winding roads must be fun for drivers, but not so wonderful for passengers, as it is easy to get dizzy and vomit... However, along the way, there are many beautiful views that are enough to make people sigh.

Maui's famous Road to Hana, the essential route from Kahului Airport to Hana, features 612 curves and 54 narrow, single-lane bridges along this approximately 83-kilometer stretch, making it a must-do for those who enjoy driving. While it's called a road, it's actually quite narrow, with only two lanes. Driving this way, I find, is more about the thrill of the car than the scenery.

The Road to Hana is about 40 miles long, with countless natural attractions along the way, all free of charge (a stark contrast to China's money-grabbing tourism culture). So, I planned a full day for the trip. But it proved far from enough. Ideally, I'd spend a day driving the Road to Hana, stay overnight in Hana, and then travel south the next day, completing a round-the-island tour.

Hana, located on Maui's rugged east coast, is considered Hawaii's last unspoiled frontier. The Highway to Hana, starting in Kahului, stretches 83 kilometers, but the drive takes two to four hours, crisscrossed by narrow, single-lane bridges and sharp U-turns. Along the way, you'll pass cascading waterfalls, lush landscapes, and blooming rainforests. The Highway to Hana (HI-360) boasts 600 curves and 54 bridges.

The road initially had few curves. After a few minutes, the road narrowed and became more winding. The scenery wasn't as stunning as rumored; we felt the scenery along the Rockies or on Vancouver's Sea to Sky Highway was far more beautiful. There were also few stops along the way, so the driver, focused on the road, didn't have a chance to take in the scenery.

The Hana Highway is a well-known coastal scenic route, about 50 miles long. However, due to its rugged and narrow roads, the speed limit is very low. You can see the sea view, waterfalls, rainforests and flowers along the way. It was raining when we went there, and the sky and sea were very gray. Although the waterfall flow was unusually abundant, it was slightly khaki. I personally felt that the scenery was average. On the way back, the sky gradually cleared up and the scenery was much more beautiful.

The road is rugged and narrow, with a very low speed limit. You can enjoy the sea view, rainforest and flowers along the way, and the waterfalls are extremely abundant.

The famous Road to Hana on the island's east coast is renowned for its narrow roads, numerous U-turns, and breathtaking scenery. The route boasts 600 curves and 54 bridges, passing through lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, plunging pools, and breathtaking ocean views. A four-wheel drive is ideal for a self-drive tour of Hana, and I'm determined to explore it next time.

It's said that even Mark Twain loved this stretch of road. The town of Hana is located on Maui's rugged east coast. The famous Road to Hana is approximately 70 kilometers long, but the drive often takes three hours, as it navigates 612 curves, crosses 54 narrow, one-lane bridges, and passes through lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, cascading pools, and spectacular ocean views.

We were in a hurry to go whale watching in the afternoon, so we only drove half of this section. The highway along the coastline was quite interesting. As we drove, we would come across small attractions where we could stop to rest and take pictures.
