If you’re planning a trip to Maui, you’ve likely heard of the Road to Hana. The Hana Highway is an approximately 50-mile long road that winds and stretches along the coast from Kahului to Hana in eastern Maui. While Google Maps suggests that the drive can be completed in two hours, plan on spending all day on this stretch of land, as you will be immersed by the tremendous beauty that surrounds you. While you will want to get out and take pictures, you don’t have to leave the comfort of your vehicle to get a top notch window show as you weave in and out of the meandering two lane “highway” (and sometimes barely two lanes, at that). While some websites may recommend that you take a tour with a group, we found that having our own vehicle allowed us to enjoy the trail at our own pace. We were able to stop when we wanted to, take photographs when we wanted to, and take side roads when we wanted to.
