- Alelele Falls - Alelele Falls is one of nine waterfalls to visit on this adventure! Reaching the falls involves a short hike across a stream, but it remains quite accessible.
- Ohe’o Gulch - This is undoubtedly one of the most popular stops on the Road to Hana.
‘Ohe’o Gulch, also known as Pools of ‘Ohe’o and Seven Sacred Pools, features a series of cascading waterfalls leading to pristine rock pools.
It’s an ideal spot to spend some time, especially since you’ll arrive before the crowds.
- Pipiwai Trail - While at Haleakala National Park in Kipahulu, it’s highly recommended to explore the Pipiwai Trail. This 3.5-mile rainforest trail offers stunning views of two waterfalls and a bamboo forest.
The hike is rated moderate and takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
- Wailua Falls - As you drive, keep an eye out for Wailua Falls along the road. This breathtaking, 80-foot waterfall is best viewed from the left of the bridge.
Be cautious of other drivers while enjoying the view.
- Hamoa Beach - Looking to relax for a bit? This is an ideal family beach with its protected cove and expansive sandy area.
If the waves are gentle, there’s excellent snorkeling on the far left side of the cove.
- Koki Beach - Koki Beach is another fantastic spot to unwind. A notable feature is the large hill beside it.
Hawaiians call this spot Ka Iwi o Pele, meaning “the bones of Pele.”
This hill is a cinder cone that erupted lava just before Mount Haleakala became dormant.
- Hasegawa’s General Store - This general store has been family-owned and operated since 1910. It offers everything from snacks to souvenirs and is a great place to stock up on food and drinks for the journey.
Note that the only gas station in Hana is next to the general store, making it a convenient spot to refuel.
- Hana - It’s recommended to enjoy a meal here in Hana, with plenty of options available.
- Black Sand Beach - Visit one of Maui’s unique black-sand beaches. Formed when hot lava met the ocean, this beach is unlike any other on the Road to Hana.
- Kahanu Garden - Kahanu Garden is a National Tropical Botanical Garden near Hana, showcasing native plants significant to Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
- Makapipi Falls - Makapipi Falls is one of the most intriguing falls on the tour. The highway crosses over the cascades, and the water flows from a lava streambed into a stunning pool below.
- Waikani Falls - Waikani Falls is a series of three waterfalls, affectionately known as the Three Bears Falls.
The nickname likely comes from the varying heights of the falls: short, medium, and tall, reminiscent of the family of bears in the children’s story Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
- Wailua Valley State Wayside Park - Wailua Valley State Wayside offers a fantastic view of the quaint Wailua Town and the renowned “Coral Miracle Church.”
From the overlook, you can also see the Haleakala Volcano behind you.
You might even spot a waterfall or two cascading in the distance.
- Halfway to Hana - Need a snack for the road? Stop at Halfway to Hana Food Stand.
This snack shop offers fresh banana bread, shave ice, lunch items like burgers and sandwiches, and small bites like fruits and chips.
- Ke‘anae Valley - Pull over for a breathtaking view of the Ke’anae Peninsula. A large shoulder on the right provides an excellent bird’s-eye view of the peninsula.
- Ke‘anae Peninsula - The Ke’anae Peninsula is a short detour off Hana Highway, but it’s worth the time for its stunning ocean views against jagged lava rock.
Public restrooms are available by the softball field at Ke’anae Park.
- Aunty Sandy’s Banana Bread - Aunty Sandy’s offers warm, freshly made banana bread daily. It’s highly recommended to stop for a taste.
