Hana Highway - дорога до Хани

Шосе Хана — це найдовший прибережний мальовничий маршрут у світі завдовжки 64,4 милі (103,6 км). На схід від мосту Калепа шосе продовжується до Кіпахулу як Гавайський маршрут 31 (шосе Піілані). Цей тур охоплює 59 односмугових мостів, понад 640 поворотів і кривих через пишний тропічний ліс. Більшість бетонних і сталевих мостів датуються 1910 роком

Парк Ho'okipa Beach

Пляж Хо'окіпа вважається світовою столицею віндсерфінгу. Ви можете насолоджуватися спостеріганням за віндсерферами, кайтбордерами та серферами, які кидають виклик океанським хвилям і береговим вітрам. Це також столиця гавайських зелених морських черепах, що знаходяться під загрозою, Мауї, де 200-фунтові черепахи харчуються вздовж берегової лінії та гріються на пляжі цілий день.

Бамбуковий ліс

Вражаючий бамбуковий ліс на узбіччі шосе Хана на шляху до Хани

4

Пойнт Кеана

Маленькі гавайські села роблять усе можливе, щоб жити, як стародавні гавайці. Полювання на свиней, вирощування таро, хлібобулочних фруктів і бананів — усе це велика частина повсякденного життя цієї маленької громади. Це також місце знаменитого стенда Half Way to Hana Snack; лід, свіжий кокос, прохолодні напої та, звичайно, оригінальний свіжоспечений банановий хліб. З краєвиду та півострова Keanae відкривається вид на одну з найбільших ферм Таро на Гаваях.

5

Придорожній парк штату Каумахіна

Придорожній парк штату Каумахіна або державний парк Каумахіна розташований в окрузі Мауї, Гаваї, за 28,3 милі на схід від Кахулуї та за 22,4 милі на захід від Хани вздовж шосе Хана. Парк складається з 7,8 акрів лісу та екзотичних рослин

6

Водоспад Верхній Вайкані

Верхній водоспад Вайкані часто називають трьома ведмедями, завдяки трьом окремим, але паралельним водоспадам різної довжини — третій і найменший — «ведмедик» — падає праворуч.

7

Водоспад Вайлуа

Водоспад Вайлуа, мабуть, найвищий придорожній водоспад на шосе Хана. Це найпопулярніший водоспад і найбільше заторів. Для безпеки всіх ми зробимо тут зупинку, якщо це безпечно, якщо є стоянка.

8

Кіпахулу

Ми проїдемо через міст Охео, і ви зможете побачити 7 священних басейнів у знаменитому районі Кіпахулу.

9

Державний парк Пуаа Каа

Звідси досить легко дістатися до водоспаду. Деякі люди люблять купатися в прохолодних водах біля водоспаду і в спекотний день. Одягніть багатошаровий купальник і візьміть із собою змінний одяг. Не забудьте про рушники.

10

Парк Гарольда Райса

Райс-парк розташований навпроти заміських ферм Кула на дорозі Лоуер-Кула, звідки відкривається прекрасний вид на узбережжя.

11

Каупо

Коли ви побачите все, що можна побачити на Дорозі до Хани, ми почнемо їхати вздовж берега Хани. Ви будете вражені тим, який це інший світ!

12

Hana Highway - Road to Hana

The Hana Highway is a 64.4-mile-long (103.6 km) , longest, coastal scenic route in the world. To the east of Kalepa Bridge, the highway continues to Kipahulu as Hawaii Route 31 (the Piilani Highway). This tour covers 59 single lane bridges, over 640 turns and curves, through lush, tropical rainforest. Most of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910

13

Paia

Just four miles into your drive to Hāna from Kahului, you'll discover the historic town of Pāʻia on Maui's north coast. Divided into Lower Pāʻia and Pāʻia, this hospitable community was once a booming plantation town during the heyday of Maui's sugar cane industry. Today Pāʻia is a town of colorful, rustic storefronts filled with local art galleries, one-of-a-kind shopping boutiques and restaurants.

14

Ho'okipa Beach Park

Ho'okipa Beach is considered the windsurfing capital of the world, you can enjoy watching wind surfers, kite boarders and surfers challenge the oceans waves and shoreline winds. This is also the Threatened Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle capital of Maui, with 200-pound turtles feeding along the shoreline and basking on the beach all day long.

15

Twin Falls Maui

Twin Falls is the first easily accessible string of waterfalls and pools on the Road to Hana

16

Haipua'ena Falls

Haipua'ena Falls is a small waterfall and pool along Maui's popular Road to Hana. Thanks to the unsigned trail and short hike over an often muddy path, the pool receives far less visitor traffic than the well-signed falls along the route.

17

Ke‘anae Point

Small Hawaiian villages doing their best to live like the Hawaiians of old. Hunting pigs and growing taro, bread fruit, and Bananas are all big parts of everyday life in this small community. It’s also the site of the famous Half Way to Hana Snack stand; shave ice, fresh coconut, cold drinks and of course the Original Fresh Baked Banana Bread. The Keanae overlook and peninsula offer views of one of the largest taro farms in Hawaii.

18

Ching's Pond

Very photogenic spot to get photographed doing something life threatening.

19

Upper Waikani Falls

Upper Waikani Falls is often referred to as Three Bears, thanks to the three separate but parallel falls of differing lengths—with the third and smallest being the “baby bear” falls on the right.

20

Wailua Falls

Wailua Falls is a picturesque, yet very easily accessible waterfall visible from The Hana Highway. You don't even need to get out of your car to see it!

21

Hana Lava Tubes

Lava 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.

22

Hana Bay

ocated 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. The bay is protected by a coral reef and harbored from big swells by its curved shape.

23

Wai'anapanapa State Park

Wainapanapa is Maui’s famous Black Sand Beach. Cobalt blue Ocean surrounded by black sand and black lava rocks from a recent flow only 10,000 years ago. Go for a walk along the edge of the bay and check out the blue water or just sit under a nice shade tree. 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.

24

Pua'a Ka'a State Park

It is fairly easy to access the waterfall from here. Some people like to take a dip in the chilly waters by the waterfall and on a hot day. Wear swim suit layered and bring change of clothes. Don't forget the towels.

25

Upper Waikani Falls

Located just beyond Mile Marker 19 on the mauka—or mountain side—of Hana Highway, Upper Waikani Falls is often referred to as Three Bears, thanks to the three separate but parallel falls of differing lengths—with the third and smallest being the “baby bear” falls on the right.

26

Wailua Valley State Wayside Park

Wailua Valley is an ahupuaʼa that sits just after the Keanae peninsula on the road to Hana. 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.

27

Honomanu

Right beyond Kaumahina State Wayside Park you'll find a pullout that gives a good view of Honomanu Bay. From this vantage point you can get another good look at the Ke'anae Peninsula. The views from Kaumahina Wayside park are superior to this pullout, so if you can, be sure to stop at the Wayside Park instead.

28

Kaumahina State Wayside Park

Kaumahina State Wayside Park or Kaumahina State Park, is located in Maui County, Hawaii, 28.3 miles East of Kahului and 22.4 miles West of Hana along the Hana Highway. The park consists of 7.8 acres of forest and exotic plants

Wailua Valley State Wayside Park

Wailua Valley is an ahupuaʼa that sits just after the Keanae peninsula on the road to Hana. 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.

95

This tour covers 59 single lane bridges, over 640 turns and curves, through lush, tropical rainforest. Most of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910

98

Paia

Just four miles into your drive to Hāna from Kahului, you'll discover the historic town of Pāʻia on Maui's north coast. Divided into Lower Pāʻia and Pāʻia, this hospitable community was once a booming plantation town during the heyday of Maui's sugar cane industry.

Twin Falls Maui

Twin Falls is the first easily accessible string of waterfalls and pools on the Road to Hana

101

Haipua'ena Falls

Haipua'ena Falls is a small waterfall and pool along Maui's popular Road to Hana. Thanks to the unsigned trail and short hike over an often muddy path, the pool receives far less visitor traffic than the well-signed falls along the route.

102

Ke‘anae Point

Small Hawaiian villages doing their best to live like the Hawaiians of old. Hunting pigs and growing taro, bread fruit, and Bananas are all big parts of everyday life in this small community. It’s also the site of the famous Half Way to Hana Snack stand; shave ice, fresh coconut, cold drinks and of course the Original Fresh Baked Banana Bread. The Keanae overlook and peninsula offer views of one of the largest taro farms in Hawaii.

106

Hana Lava Tubes

Lava 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.

107

Hana Bay

ocated 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. The bay is protected by a coral reef and harbored from big swells by its curved shape.

108

Wai'anapanapa State Park

Wainapanapa is Maui’s famous Black Sand Beach. Cobalt blue Ocean surrounded by black sand and black lava rocks from a recent flow only 10,000 years ago. Go for a walk along the edge of the bay and check out the blue water or just sit under a nice shade tree. 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.

109

Pua'a Ka'a State Park

It is fairly easy to access the waterfall from here. Some people like to take a dip in the chilly waters by the waterfall and on a hot day. Wear swim suit layered and bring change of clothes. Don't forget the towels.
