6

Wailua Falls

There are almost countless waterfalls along the Road to Hana drive, as it winds its way through gulches and ravines along the side of the Haleakala Volcano. Beauty can be arbitrary, but for many, Wailua Falls is the most picturesque. Located between Hana and the Oheo Pools, be sure to stop and capture some classic pictures at this beautiful location.

7

Upper Waikani Falls

Waikani Falls is also called the 3 Bears Falls and it is one of the most popular falls on the Road to Hana because of its fun interpretation. After heavy rain, water cascades over the falls in one big, thick stream - one big bear. But when less water is flowing, it turns into 3 separate falls, one large, one medium and one small.

8

Koki Beach

On the same turnoff that takes us to Hamoa Beach, we can stop and enjoy the view to the ex-cindercone that created the quirky-looking Alau Island, that sits about a quarter mile off Koki Beach. Not just a fun photo, this location is also steeped in Ancient Hawaiian legends about Pele - the Goddess of Volcanoes, and the demigod Maui.

9

Hamoa Beach

Yes, you have your choice of beaches on the Road to Hana, but this little crescent shaped sandy beach is timed perfectly on the drive to stretch your legs and cool off or rest under a tree.

10

Wai'anapanapa State Park

Wai'anapanapa State Park is home to Maui's most famous black sand beach and a park that includes several excellent examples of Maui's volcanic coast.

11

Part of the way along the trail, you will be rewarded with views of the Makihiku Falls. If finding the hike difficult, this is a good place to turn back. Most will continue the hike to Waimoku Falls, the highlight and furthermost point. Sections through bamboo forest are especially peaceful. Expect the hike to take 2+ hours depending on your fitness level. So as long as you arrive at the trail by 2pm, you will have lots of time to hike and then drive back.

12

Ohe'o Gulch

At the end of the Road to Hana drive lies the Oheo Gulch at Kipahulu. This is the ocean level extension of the Haleakala National Park, which spans from the summit at over 10,000 feet, down to this location at sea level.

There are also short walks available, including views to the wild ocean shore that is typical at this location. This is also the location of the trailhead for the Pipiwai Trail. Since the Oheo Gulch is within the National Park you must pay for entry, or show your existing National Park Pass.

Autoroute Hana - Route vers Hana

Au fur et à mesure que les audioguides diffusent des commentaires en fonction de votre position GPS, vous pouvez créer votre propre itinéraire le long du ou des itinéraires de la visite en fonction de vos intérêts et de votre emploi du temps. Ou vous pouvez utiliser nos planificateurs de voyage pour nos suggestions d'itinéraires d'une demi-journée, d'une journée complète ou de plusieurs jours. Certains des nombreux faits saillants sont énumérés ci-dessous;

38

Arboretum de Ke'anae

L'Arboretum de Keanae est un endroit facile et gratuit où vous pouvez voir une collection de plantes et d'arbres tropicaux. Il faut moins de 30 minutes pour voir et prendre des photos du bambou à tige dorée, du gingembre, de la papaye et de l'hibiscus. En continuant le long du sentier, on suit le ruisseau Piinaau, qui conduit les promeneurs aux terrasses créées par les anciens Hawaïens pour la culture du taro. Peut-être que la vedette du spectacle à l'Arboretum est que vous pouvez vous approcher des eucalyptus arc-en-ciel avec leur écorce aux couleurs vives, qui semble trop belle pour être vraie.

39

Tube de lave Hana

Le Hana Lava Tube est un endroit où vous pouvez entrer dans le tube de lave le plus accessible de Maui. Vous n'êtes pas obligé d'aller jusqu'au bout si vous trouvez les grottes claustrophobes - mais si vous êtes à l'aise avec cela, c'est très amusant à explorer.

40

Pointe Ke'anae

Ke'anae Point est sur une péninsule plate qui s'avance dans l'océan a été créé par un écoulement de lave volcanique de Haleakala qui se dresse au-dessus de nous. Il a laissé derrière lui une petite oasis, idéale pour la culture du taro. Il y a une petite église pittoresque faite de corail et de roche de lave, il y a plus d'un siècle et demi. C'est agréable de regarder les vagues marteler les affleurements rocheux en forme de flèche pendant un moment et vous êtes presque assuré de pouvoir trouver des noix de coco le long du rivage.

41

Chutes jumelles Maui

Twin Falls est généralement le premier endroit le long de la route Road to Hana où vous voudrez sortir de la voiture et profiter d'une courte randonnée. Les chutes sont pittoresques, vous pouvez traverser le ruisseau à de nombreux endroits et une forêt de bambous est visible le long du sentier de 1,5 mile. Il y a des choix sur la distance que vous voulez aller et ce qu'il faut voir. Le sentier est souvent boueux, alors portez des chaussures appropriées. Le stand de la ferme est un endroit idéal pour prendre un smoothie aux fruits tropicaux le matin.

42

Chutes de Wailua

Il y a presque d'innombrables chutes d'eau le long de la route Road to Hana, qui serpente à travers des ravins et des ravins le long du volcan Haleakala. La beauté peut être arbitraire, mais pour beaucoup, Wailua Falls est la plus pittoresque. Situé entre Hana et les piscines Oheo, assurez-vous de vous arrêter et de capturer des images classiques dans ce bel endroit.

43

Chutes supérieures de Waikani

Les chutes de Waikani sont également appelées les chutes des 3 ours et c'est l'une des chutes les plus populaires sur la route de Hana en raison de son interprétation amusante. Après de fortes pluies, l'eau tombe en cascade sur les chutes en un seul gros ruisseau épais - un gros ours. Mais quand moins d'eau coule, elle se transforme en 3 chutes distinctes, une grande, une moyenne et une petite.

44

Plage de Koki

Sur la même sortie qui nous emmène à Hamoa Beach, nous pouvons nous arrêter et profiter de la vue sur l'ancien cône de cendre qui a créé l'île d'Alau à l'allure originale, qui se trouve à environ un quart de mile de la plage de Koki. Pas seulement une photo amusante, cet endroit est également imprégné d'anciennes légendes hawaïennes sur Pelé - la déesse des volcans et le demi-dieu Maui.

45

Plage de Hamoa

Oui, vous avez le choix de plages sur la route de Hana, mais cette petite plage de sable en forme de croissant est parfaitement chronométrée sur le trajet pour vous dégourdir les jambes et vous rafraîchir ou vous reposer sous un arbre. Bien qu'il y ait des toilettes et des douches publiques, il n'y a pas de sauveteurs. Lorsque les conditions sont calmes, c'est familial, mais gardez toujours un œil sur les plus jeunes membres de votre groupe.

46

Parc d'État de Wai'anapanapa

Le parc d'État de Wai'anapanapa abrite la plage de sable noir la plus célèbre de Maui et un parc qui comprend plusieurs excellents exemples de la côte volcanique de Maui. Suivez les panneaux pour explorer le long de la plage afin de repérer l'arche de mer au large et de trouver l'évent. C'est aussi un lieu ancré dans la légende hawaïenne. C'est une étape incontournable de la visite, avec des réservations requises pour l'entrée.

47

Sentier Pipiwai

Pipiwai Trail devrait être le sentier de randonnée préféré sur la route de Hana. Il est situé dans la région d'Oheo Gulch à Kipahulu, au bout de la route. Comme il se trouve à l'intérieur du parc national de Haleakala, sachez que vous devrez présenter votre laissez-passer NPS pour entrer ou en acheter un à votre arrivée. La randonnée complète est un sentier en boucle de 4 miles, qui monte à 650 pieds d'altitude. Il s'agit d'une randonnée modérée, mais si les conditions sont chaudes, cela peut sembler épuisant. Une partie du chemin le long du sentier, vous serez récompensé par une vue sur les chutes Makihiku. Si vous trouvez la randonnée difficile, c'est un bon endroit pour faire demi-tour. La plupart continueront la randonnée jusqu'aux chutes de Waimoku, le point culminant et le plus éloigné. Les sections à travers la forêt de bambous sont particulièrement paisibles. Attendez-vous à ce que la randonnée prenne plus de 2 heures en fonction de votre niveau de forme physique. Donc, tant que vous arrivez sur le sentier à 14 heures, vous aurez beaucoup de temps pour faire de la randonnée puis revenir en voiture.

48

Ohe'o Gulch

Au bout de la route Road to Hana se trouve le Oheo Gulch à Kipahulu. Il s'agit de l'extension au niveau de l'océan du parc national de Haleakala, qui s'étend du sommet à plus de 10 000 pieds jusqu'à cet endroit au niveau de la mer. L'endroit préféré dans le gulch est les piscines Oheo, également connues sous le nom de Seven Sacred Pools. Les piscines sont ouvertes et fermées pour la baignade et la pataugeoire en fonction des conditions, il est donc préférable de vérifier à l'avance. Il y a aussi de courtes promenades disponibles, y compris des vues sur le rivage sauvage de l'océan qui est typique à cet endroit. C'est également l'emplacement du point de départ du sentier Pipiwai. Étant donné que l'Oheo Gulch se trouve dans le parc national, vous devez payer l'entrée ou présenter votre laissez-passer existant pour le parc national.

71

Hana Lava Tube

The Hana Lava Tube is a location where you can enter Maui's most accessible lava tube. You don't have to go all the way inside if you find caves claustrophobic - but if you are comfortable with it, its lots of fun to explore.

72

Ke‘anae Point

Ke'anae Point is on a flat peninsula that juts out into the ocean was created by an outflow of volcanic lava from Haleakala which looms above us. It left behind a little oasis, ideal for taro farming. There is a picturesque small church made out of coral and lava rock, more than a century and a half ago. It's nice to watch the waves pound away at the spire-like rocky outcrops for a while and you are almost guaranteed of being able to find some coconuts along the shore.

73

Twin Falls Maui

77

Wai'anapanapa State Park

Wai'anapanapa State Park is home to Maui's most famous black sand beach and a park that includes several excellent examples of Maui's volcanic coast.
