Road Tripping, Hawaii-Style
Are great road trips really possible on a collection of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? You better believe it. With its stunning scenery - think steep ocean cliffs, mountain peaks, golden beaches, secluded bays and waterfalls just a short walk from the road - Hawaii is heaven for those who like nothing better than hitting the road. And along the way, there are so many things to see and do. Shop, eat, swim or just savour the view. These classic Hawaiian 'roadies' are as varied as they are unique - from sea-level and cliff-level coastal drives to inland countryside and mountain journeys.
East Molokai via Kamehameha V Highway
East Molokai via Kamehameha V Highway (Molokai)
This lovely sea-level coastal drive takes road trippers from Molokai's main town Kaunakakai past ancient Hawaiian fishponds (loko ia) and shorelines that are both tranquil and wild. The trip peaks with the breathtaking end-of-the-road Halawa Valley and Beach.
Northeast Coast and East Maui via Hana Highway (Maui) This famous road trip combines dozens of single-lane, century-old bridges, miles of roadside waterfalls, verdant rain-forests and both sea-level and elevated East Maui coastal views.
Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Parks (Kauai) Give yourself a day to truly explore winding Waimea Canyon Drive and Kokee Road from the sea-level Waimea town, up into the misty mountain forests of Kokee State Park. Because this isn't a long road trip, you'll have time to add a trail or two, check out the road-ending Kalalau Valley lookouts, and take in the wonder of Waimea Canyon.
Hamakua Coast via Modern and Old Mamalahoa Highway (Island of Hawaii) The modern sections of this highway display the northeast Hamakua Coast's rugged sea cliffs, lush valleys, waterfalls plus ample views of Hawaii's tallest mountain, Maunakea, with lots of scenic spots and small towns along the way.
Windward Coast and North Shore (Oahu) For a contrast to urban Honolulu', spend a day on this two-lane road trip, winding around the foot of the Koolau mountain range and the shoreline of Oahu's Windward Coast. Along the way are beaches, offshore islands, parks, world-famous surf spots and great dining.
