The legendary road to Hāna is only 52 miles from Kahului; however, the drive can take anywhere from two to four hours to complete with narrow one-lane bridges, hairpin turns, and incredible island views.
The Hāna Highway (HI-360) has 620 curves and 59 bridges. The road leads you through flourishing rainforests, flowing waterfalls, plunging pools, and dramatic seascapes.
Historic St. Sophia’s Church marks your arrival into Hāna,
where the pastures roll right up to the main street.
Browse the Hasegawa General Store and Hāna Ranch Store
for unique souvenirs. Swim and sunbathe at Hāna Beach Park or Hāmoa Beach, known as one of the most
beautiful beaches in the Pacific.
Sunbathe at Waiʻānapanapa State Park, a beautiful black sand beach. Or visit Hale Piʻilani, the state’s largest heiau (Hawaiian temple), in Kahanu Garden, one of five National Tropical Botanical Gardens in Hawaiʻi.
Beyond Hāna, venture 10 miles south to the outskirts of Heleakala National Park in Kīpahulu. There you’ll find the Pīpīwai Trail where you can hike to the 400-foot Waimoku Falls.
