Hana Highway - Road to Hana

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

2

Ke'anae Arboretum

The Arboretum at Keanae is an easy, no-cost location where you can see a collection of tropical plants and trees. It takes less than 30 minutes to see and get pictures of the golden-stemmed bamboo, ginger, papaya and hibiscus. Continuing along the trail the follows the Piinaau Stream, leads walkers to to terraces that were created by ancient Hawaiians for taro cultivation. Perhaps the star of the show at the Arboretum is that you can get up close to the Rainbow Eucalyptus trees with its brightly colored bark, that looks too good to be true.

3

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.

4

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.

5

Twin Falls Maui

Twin Falls is usually the first location along the Road to Hana drive where you will want to get out of the car and enjoy a short hike. The falls are picturesque, you can cross the stream in many places and bamboo forest is seen along the 1.5 mile trail. There are choices about how far you want to go and what to see. Trail is frequently muddy so wear appropriate footwear. The farmstand is a great place to grab a morning tropical fruit smoothie.

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. While there are public bathrooms and showers, there are no lifeguards. When conditions are calm, it's family friendly, but always keep a close eye on the younger members of your party.

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. Follow the signs to explore along the beach to spot the sea arch off shore and find the blowhole. This is also a place steeped in Hawaiian legend. It's a must-stop on the tour, with reservations required for entry.

11

Pipiwai Trail

Pipiwai Trail would have to be the favorite hiking trail on the Road to Hana. It is located at the Oheo Gulch area of Kipahulu, at the end of the drive. Since it is inside Haleakala National Park, be aware that you will need to show your NPS pass for entry, or purchase one on arrival. The full hike is a 4-mile loop trail, that climbs 650 feet of elevation. This is a moderate hike, but if conditions are hot, it can feel strenuous. 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. The favorite location in the gulch are the Oheo Pools, which are also known as the Seven Sacred Pools. Pools are opened and closed for swimming and wading depending on conditions, so best to check ahead. 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.

Шоссе Хана - Дорога в Хану

Поскольку аудиогиды воспроизводят комментарии в зависимости от вашего местоположения GPS, вы можете создать свой собственный маршрут по маршруту (маршрутам) тура, который соответствует вашим интересам и расписанию. Или вы можете воспользоваться нашими планировщиками поездок, чтобы получить предложения по полудневным, полным или многодневным маршрутам. Некоторые из многих основных моментов перечислены ниже;

38

Дендрарий Кеанаэ

Дендрарий в Кеанае — это простое и бесплатное место, где вы можете увидеть коллекцию тропических растений и деревьев. Чтобы увидеть и сфотографировать бамбук с золотыми стеблями, имбирь, папайю и гибискус, потребуется менее 30 минут. Продолжая тропу, следует ручей Пиинау, ведущий к террасам, созданным древними гавайцами для выращивания таро. Возможно, изюминкой шоу в Дендрарии является то, что вы можете приблизиться к радужным эвкалиптам с их ярко окрашенной корой, которая выглядит слишком хорошо, чтобы быть правдой.

39

Хана Лава Трубка

Лавовая труба Хана — это место, где вы можете войти в самую доступную лавовую трубу Мауи. Вам не нужно проходить весь путь внутрь, если вы обнаружите, что пещеры вызывают клаустрофобию, но если вам это удобно, исследовать их очень весело.

40

Кеанаэ Пойнт

Мыс Кеанаэ находится на плоском полуострове, выступающем в океан, и был создан извержением вулканической лавы из Халеакалы, которая возвышается над нами. Он оставил после себя небольшой оазис, идеально подходящий для выращивания таро. Здесь есть живописная небольшая церковь, построенная из кораллов и лавы более полутора веков назад. Приятно некоторое время наблюдать, как волны разбиваются о шпилеподобные скалистые выступы, и вы почти гарантированно сможете найти несколько кокосов вдоль берега.

41

Твин Фолс Мауи

Твин-Фолс обычно является первым местом на пути к Хане, где вы захотите выйти из машины и насладиться короткой прогулкой. Водопады живописны, во многих местах можно пересечь ручей, а вдоль 1,5-километровой тропы можно увидеть бамбуковый лес. Есть выбор о том, как далеко вы хотите пойти и что посмотреть. Тропа часто бывает грязной, поэтому носите соответствующую обувь. Ферма — отличное место, чтобы выпить утренний коктейль из тропических фруктов.

42

Водопад Вайлуа

Вдоль дороги к Хане есть почти бесчисленное количество водопадов, поскольку она извивается через ущелья и овраги вдоль склона вулкана Халеакала. Красота может быть произвольной, но для многих водопад Вайлуа является самым живописным. Расположенный между Хана и бассейнами Охео, обязательно остановитесь и сделайте несколько классических снимков в этом прекрасном месте.

43

Верхний водопад Вайкани

Водопад Вайкани также называют водопадом 3 медведей, и это один из самых популярных водопадов на Пути к Хане из-за его забавной интерпретации. После сильного дождя вода стекает по водопаду одним большим густым потоком — одним большим медведем. Но когда воды течет меньше, он превращается в 3 отдельных водопада, один большой, один средний и один маленький.

44

Коки Бич

На том же повороте, который ведет нас к пляжу Хамоа, мы можем остановиться и насладиться видом на бывший шлаковый конус, из которого образовался причудливый остров Алау, который находится примерно в четверти мили от пляжа Коки. Это не просто забавное фото, это место также пропитано древними гавайскими легендами о Пеле — богине вулканов и полубоге Мауи.

45

Пляж Хамоа

Да, у вас есть выбор пляжей на пути к Хане, но этот маленький песчаный пляж в форме полумесяца идеально подходит для того, чтобы размять ноги и освежиться или отдохнуть под деревом. Хотя есть общественные туалеты и душевые, спасателей нет. Когда обстановка спокойная, это подходит для семейного отдыха, но всегда внимательно следите за младшими членами вашей группы.

46

Государственный парк Вайанапанапа

Государственный парк Вайанапанапа является домом для самого известного пляжа с черным песком на Мауи и парка, в котором есть несколько прекрасных образцов вулканического побережья Мауи. Следуйте указателям, чтобы исследовать пляж, чтобы обнаружить морскую арку у берега и найти дыхало. Это также место, пропитанное гавайскими легендами. Это обязательная остановка в туре, для входа требуется бронирование.

47

Тропа Пипивай

Тропа Пипивай должна была стать любимой пешеходной тропой на пути к Хане. Он расположен в районе ущелья Охео в Кипахулу, в конце дороги. Поскольку он находится на территории национального парка Халеакала, имейте в виду, что вам нужно будет предъявить свой пропуск NPS для входа или приобрести его по прибытии. Полный поход представляет собой кольцевую тропу длиной 4 мили, которая поднимается на высоту 650 футов. Это умеренный поход, но в жарких условиях он может показаться напряженным. Часть пути по тропе вы будете вознаграждены видом на водопад Макихику. Если поход кажется трудным, это хорошее место, чтобы повернуть назад. Большинство из них продолжит поход к водопаду Ваймоку, главной и самой дальней точке. Участки через бамбуковый лес особенно мирные. Ожидайте, что поход займет более 2 часов в зависимости от вашего уровня физической подготовки. Так что, если вы прибудете на тропу к 14:00, у вас будет много времени, чтобы прогуляться, а затем вернуться обратно.

48

Ущелье Охео

В конце Пути к Хане находится ущелье Охео в Кипахулу. Это расширение национального парка Халеакала на уровне океана, которое простирается от вершины на высоте более 10 000 футов до этого места на уровне моря. Любимым местом в ущелье являются бассейны Охео, также известные как Семь священных бассейнов. Бассейны открываются и закрываются для купания и купания в зависимости от условий, поэтому лучше проверить заранее. Также доступны короткие прогулки, в том числе виды на дикий океанский берег, типичный для этого места. Это также место, где начинается тропа Пипивай. Поскольку ущелье Охео находится на территории национального парка, вы должны заплатить за вход или предъявить существующий пропуск в национальный парк.

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

Twin Falls is usually the first location along the Road to Hana drive where you will want to get out of the car and enjoy a short hike. The falls are picturesque, you can cross the stream in many places and bamboo forest is seen along the 1.5 mile trail. There are choices about how far you want to go and what to see.

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.

75

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.

76

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.

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.
