Road to Hana, Maui, Hawaii
One of the most impressive roads on the Hawaiian island, Maui is definitely the Hana Road. It is one of the most exciting and romantic things to do in Maui. The route leads from the main town of Kahului along the north coast over 103 kilometers to the small town of Hana. Officially called Hawaii State Route 36 and 360, you pass 54 bridges, almost 600 hairpin bends on the two-lane country road, and pass numerous natural highlights, which has rightly earned the Road to Hana the title of one of the most beautiful panoramic roads in the world.
Once on the road, make sure to plan some beautiful stops along the way such as the Twin Falls, the Kaumahina State Wayside Park, which is perfect for a picnic, and the Ke’aenae Arboretum, which is a beautiful garden showcasing the nature surrounding you. And there’s also the Maui bamboo forest which has great hiking. Aside from that, the Road to Hana is just stunning – you’ll never get sick of the endless lush green landscape around you, the winding street, and of course the numerous bridges that are somewhat perfectly carved into nature.
