Hana Highway - дорога до Хани

Оскільки аудіогіди відтворюють коментарі на основі вашого GPS-місцезнаходження, ви можете створити власний маршрут уздовж маршрутів туру відповідно до ваших інтересів і розкладу. Або ви можете скористатися нашими планувальниками поїздок, щоб отримати пропозиції щодо південних, повних або багатоденних маршрутів. Нижче наведено деякі з багатьох основних моментів;

Дендропарк Ke'anae

Дендропарк у Кеані – це просте, безкоштовне місце, де можна побачити колекцію тропічних рослин і дерев. Менш ніж за 30 хвилин потрібно побачити та сфотографувати бамбук із золотистими ніжками, імбир, папайю та гібіскус. Продовжуючи вздовж стежки, слідує за струмком Пінаау, пішоходи ведуть до терас, які були створені стародавніми гавайцями для вирощування таро. Можливо, зіркою шоу в Дендропарку є те, що ви можете наблизитися до веселкових евкаліптів із їх яскравою корою, що виглядає занадто добре, щоб бути правдою.

Хана Лава Труба

Hana Lava Tube – це місце, де можна потрапити в найдоступнішу лавову трубу Мауї. Вам не обов’язково заходити всередину, якщо печери викликають клаустрофобію, але якщо вам це зручно, досліджувати їх дуже цікаво.

4

Пойнт Кеана

Пойнт Ke'anae розташований на плоскому півострові, який виступає в океан і був утворений витоком вулканічної лави з Халеакала, що височіє над нами. Позаду залишився невеликий оазис, ідеальний для вирощування таро. Тут є мальовнича невелика церква, побудована з коралів і лави, понад півтора століття тому. Якийсь час приємно спостерігати, як хвилі відбиваються від скелястих виступів, схожих на шпиль, і ви майже гарантовано знайдете кокоси на березі.

5

Твін Фоллс Мауї

Твін-Фолс зазвичай є першим місцем уздовж дороги до Хани, де вам захочеться вийти з машини та насолодитися короткою прогулянкою. Водоспад мальовничий, ви можете перетнути потік у багатьох місцях, а бамбуковий ліс видно вздовж 1,5-мильної стежки. Є вибір щодо того, як далеко ви хочете піти та що побачити. Стежка часто буває брудною, тому взувайтеся відповідним чином. Ферма — чудове місце, щоб скуштувати ранковий смузі з тропічних фруктів.

6

Водоспад Вайлуа

Уздовж дороги до Хани, яка петляє через ущелини та яри вздовж вулкана Халеакала, є майже незліченна кількість водоспадів. Краса може бути будь-якою, але для багатьох найбільш мальовничим є водоспад Вайлуа. Розташоване між Hana та Oheo Pools, не забудьте зупинитися та зробити кілька класичних фотографій у цьому чудовому місці.

7

Водоспад Верхній Вайкані

Водоспад Вайкані також називають водоспадом 3 ведмедів, і це один із найпопулярніших водоспадів на Дорозі до Хани через його веселу інтерпретацію. Після сильного дощу вода ллється над водоспадом одним великим, густим потоком - один великий ведмідь. Але коли тече менше води, це перетворюється на 3 окремі водоспади: один великий, один середній і один малий.

8

Пляж Кокі

На тому ж повороті, який веде нас до пляжу Хамоа, ми можемо зупинитися й насолодитися краєвидом на колишній золоконус, який утворив дивовижний на вигляд острів Алау, який розташований приблизно за чверть милі від пляжу Кокі. Це не просто веселе фото, це місце також просякнуте давніми гавайськими легендами про Пеле – богиню вулканів і напівбога Мауї.

9

Пляж Хамоа

Так, у вас є вибір пляжів на Дорозі до Хани, але цей маленький піщаний пляж у формі півмісяця ідеально підходить для поїздки, щоб розім’яти ноги та охолодитися або відпочити під деревом. Хоча там є громадські ванні кімнати та душові, немає рятувальників. Коли умови спокійні, це приємно для сім’ї, але завжди уважно стежте за молодшими членами вашої групи.

10

Державний парк Вайанапанапа

Державний парк Wai'anapanapa є домом для найвідомішого пляжу з чорним піском Мауї та парку, який включає кілька чудових зразків вулканічного узбережжя Мауї. Дотримуйтесь вказівників, щоб досліджувати пляж, щоб помітити морську арку біля берега та знайти дірку. Це також місце, просякнуте гавайськими легендами. Це обов’язкова зупинка під час екскурсії, для в’їзду потрібно попередньо забронювати місце.

11

Стежка Піпівай

Стежка Піпіваї мала б бути улюбленою пішохідною стежкою на Дорозі до Хани. Він розташований у районі ущелини Охео на Кіпахулу, в кінці дороги. Оскільки він знаходиться в національному парку Халеакала, майте на увазі, що для входу вам потрібно буде показати свій пропуск NPS або придбати його після прибуття. Весь похід — це 4-мильна кільцева стежка, яка піднімається на висоту 650 футів. Це помірний похід, але якщо погода спекотна, він може здатися виснажливим. Частину шляху вздовж стежки ви будете винагороджені видом на водоспад Макіхіку. Якщо похід вам важко, це гарне місце, щоб повернути назад. Більшість продовжить похід до водоспаду Ваймоку, найвизначнішої та найдальшої точки. Ділянки бамбукового лісу особливо спокійні. Очікуйте, що похід триватиме понад 2 години залежно від вашого рівня фізичної підготовки. Отже, якщо ви прибудете на стежку до 14:00, у вас буде багато часу, щоб піти, а потім поїхати назад.

12

Ущелина Охе'о

У кінці дороги до Хани лежить ущелина Охео в Кіпахулу. Це продовження національного парку Халеакала на рівні океану, яке простягається від вершини на висоті понад 10 000 футів до цього місця на рівні моря. Улюбленим місцем у ущелині є басейни Охео, які також відомі як сім священних басейнів. Басейни відкриваються та закриваються для купання та прогулянок залежно від умов, тому краще перевірити заздалегідь. Також доступні короткі прогулянки, включно з видами на дикий берег океану, типовий для цього місця. Це також місце розташування стежки Піпіваї. Оскільки ущелина Охео знаходиться в межах національного парку, ви повинні заплатити за вхід або пред’явити наявну перепустку в національний парк.

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;

14

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.

15

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.

16

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.

17

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.

18

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.

19

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.

20

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.

21

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.

22

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.

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.

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.

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.

71

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.

72

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.

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;

74

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.

75

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.

76

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.

77

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.
