The ultimate ROAD TO HANA Guide | Maui, Hawaii

On this tour I am driving along the spectacular ROAD TO HANA on the north and east coast of Maui, Hawaii. I’ll provide some helpful tips and information to plan your journey along this unique road. Certainly not the easiest drive, but with some planning, you can make this an enjoyable journey taking in all the incredible sights and nature you’ll encounter. If you prefer not to drive this challenging road, I still encourage you to watch this tour as it is one of the most gorgeous places I have seen and I am happy to share the incredible nature with you.

Not only am I driving to Hana with multiple stops along the way, but also continuing past Hana to the coastal area of the Haleakala National Park. This is definitely not a stop to miss. The massive Waimoku waterfall speaks for itself - one of the most amazing moments of my journey was just standing there watching the water cascade down that massive cliff. I was totally in awe…

After that, I continue on the backside of the Haleakala volcano. There are some things you need to know if you plan going that way as it is a very rough road to drive on.

So sit back and relax as I take you on this scenic drive with me.

Long ago on our honeymoon my ex wife and I stayed at an inn at the mouth of Iao valley on maui. We were there for 4 days. It was a very nice place. There was a little stream that passed under the inn. We drove to Hana the day after our wedding. I was hungover and we rented a Volkswagen Beetle. The scenery and the waterfalls were incredible but all the twists and turns on the road to Hana was not good for my hangover. It was a beautiful drive I’ll never forget.

Wow! I really enjoyed this video…the scenery is spectacular! It was very interesting, with lots of great ideas, and whetted my appetite to visit Maui and take the Road to Hana! Thanks for the information!

I love Hawaii. My last visit was May 2016. Yes I drove to Hana and there were many waterfalls on the right side of the road. Yeah, the road is pretty narrow.

How long is the actual drive time up and back (in the car time)? Thanks!

[alinelachance]

Hello! Thanks for this very helpful video. If I go to the Haleakala summit for the sunset, and I buy the ticket can I use it for the park of Seven sacred pools. Thank you! 😃

As a Hana resident - well done! You highlighted key areas and educate. Your pronunciations are a little off though.

If we continue driving past Haleakala National Park, do we turn around at some point or is there a way back when you just continue on ?

[Hellothere-nnfn]

How dangerous would you say the road is? I really want to do the drive but none of us are used to driving a jeep or on roads like this. Do you think it's generally safe as long as you go during the day and take your time?

nice but you missed the best ' twin falls' you should have kept going..
