General presentation
Route de Hana
Tropical road punctuated with waterfalls, black beaches and humid forests.
To understand what the Hana Road is, look at Wai'anapanapa, Wailua Falls and Pipiwai Trail. These places give us a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline, forests and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Wai'anapanapa
Wai的anapanapa marks the road to Hana by its black sand, volcanic rocks and waves that strike a cut-off coast. The caves, natural arches and pandanus on the waterfront give the park a darker and more mineral atmosphere than the classic Maui beaches.
Nature and panorama
Wailua Falls
On the way to Hana, Wailua Falls Almost falls to the edge of the roadway, making it one of the easiest waterfalls to see in the area. The water runs on a thick plant wall, often bright after the rain, with a bottom basin that attracts travellers stopping before Kipahulu.
Nature and panorama
Pipiwai Trail
The Pipiwai Trail Kipahulu goes up through rainforest, massive banyan and footbridges in the middle of bamboos. The walk leads to Waimoku Falls, a high fall in the greenery, and gives a real depth to the Hana road for those who want to leave the fast roadside stops.
Place indismissible
Hana
Hana Keeps a rhythm apart on the east coast of Maui, after a winding road lined with waterfalls, cliffs and humid forests. The village is worth less for a specific monument than for its isolation, its quiet bays, its gardens and this feeling of having reached the end of a very green island.
