What is the Road to Hana?

The Road to Hana (R2H) is more than 60 miles of highway, carved into the cliffs of one of the most beautiful rainforests in the world. Its curves hug the coastline of the blue Pacific, and its dramatic landscape will take your breath away... And that’s just if you stay in your car.

The Road to Hana is located in eastern Maui and is full of the wonders of Hawaii you've always imagined. Whether your fantasies include frolicking in hidden waterfalls, driving through the exotic jungles of Hawaii in a Jeep Wrangler, hiking through a bamboo forest, or simply finding a secluded spot on the island to escape the fast pace of life, the R2H will indulge all your desires.

There are multiple ways to experience the Road to Hana during your stay on Maui. You will want to devote at least 1 full day of your vacation to the R2H. We have put together sample itineraries in our roadmap for a 1 or 2-day experience. However, you could literally spend an entire day at some of these spots. The longer you can devote to the Road to Hana, the more you will get to explore the Hawaii you've always imagined.
