Hunting pigs and growing taro, bread fruit, and Bananas are all big parts of everyday life in this small community.

You don't even need to get out of your car to see it!Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Hana Lava Tubes205 Ulaino Rd, Hana, Haiku, HawaiiLava tubes are formed when massive flows cool on the surface forming an insulating conduit for the lava flowing underneath. During the creation of Maui’s volcanic landscape these served like the veins of the volcano, channeling lava for many miles underground before being deposited as new landmass (in this case, into the ocean.) After a volcano has been dormant for some time, these tubes usually begin to cave in and disappear under the forces of nature. Since much of the surface of Maui formed long ago, we have few lava tubes of significant size remaining; Ka’eleku Cave is the largest known accessible lava tube on Maui.Duration: Not AvailableStop At: Hana BayHana, Hawaiiocated within Hana Bay is Hana Beach Park, which has a long black-sand beach and is the safest swimming beach along the East Maui coast.

Cobalt blue Ocean surrounded by black sand and black lava rocks from a recent flow only 10,000 years ago.

This location is a great place to spend an hour relaxing, taking in one of the islands most beautiful locales. Simply stated, Wai’anapanapa State Park is among the very best of the Road to Hana sites. It offers outstanding nearly 360-degree sweeping panoramic views. On land, the hills and valleys of green jungle give way to rugged and dramatic black basalt lava coastline. Out to sea, the deep blue ocean and white cresting waves are dramatically blasted into spray and mist as they pound against the jagged cliffs. Duration: 1 hourStop At: Pua'a Ka'a State ParkHana Highway, , HawaiiIt is fairly easy to access the waterfall from here.

The area, though small, is rich in Hawaiian culture. It is here that an abundance of rare culturally significant fish and plant life can still be found. The area holds many ancient taro, or kalo, patches; a number of which are still in operation. In Hawaiian legend, taro is literally the older brother of all Hawaiians. And, so “Mahiʼaiʼana”, or cultivation of the land, is an ingrained principle that has endured for the people of Wailuanui.Duration: 10 minutesStop At: HonomanuHana Highway, Hana, HawaiiThe beautiful view from this lookout point really gives you a sense of what ancient Hawaii must have looked and felt like.

Great trip. Lots of fun and beautiful stops. Driver Marty was excellent, smooth driving (didn’t seem scary at all - which is great given the road to Hana’s reputation), he remembered everyone’s name, had interesting history, went the extra mile with each person in the group. All around great tour.

Marty was a great driver. He was knowledgeable about the area, had fun activities planned, and made everyone feel the aloha spirit. It is really impressive when the driver remembers everyone’s name. Also, the actual trip was filled with beautiful scenery. The road to Hana is known for being treacherous and potentially getting car sick from twists and turns. I didn’t feel that way at all. Marty was a very safe driver who showed car to his passengers.
