Road trip

Highway to heaven MAUI

▶ An iconic coast-hugging drive from Kahului to the little village of Hāna, The Road to Hāna is a Maui must-do. Highway 36/360 snakes its way along the north-eastern shoreline through lush rainforest, offering stunning views and a multitude of off-piste excursions. While the drive, with its many twists and turns (there are 620 bends on the road) and narrow bridges is exciting enough, it is the hidden waterfalls, walking trails, Jurassic Park-like gardens and stunning lookouts along the way that make it truly special. The road trip typically takes a full day, although you could also opt to stay in Hāna overnight, and it is best to get an early start to get ahead of the traffic.
