There is little reason to wonder why Maui is held in such high regard. Once you have visited the island, you will almost instantly recognize just why it is so special. The beaches are downright stunning, there are so many great tours and activities to participate in, and there is just a special feeling about being on the island. The island also features incredible sites and attractions to visit, and there are so many untouched parts of the island that you can always find a new place to visit and explore.
Maui’s most famous destination is the Road to Hana, the historic stretch of road that connects South Maui to East Maui and allows visitors and locals to head to the most remote parts of the island. The highway is not your typical road, and certainly isn’t just a place to drive your car. The Hana Highway is a historic landmark that has been in use since the early 1900’s providing a method for plantation workers to travel between West Maui and Hana, where sugarcane production was a leading industry on the island. Those days are long gone, but the highway remains a vital part of the island.
All along the Road to Hana, travelers will find scenic lookouts and hidden features that show off the natural beauty of the island, revealing views of the island and roadside features that will leave you in awe. In total, the highway stretches over 60 miles, winding its way around the mountains, with over 600 hairpin curves and bridges that have been in use since the original construction of the highway.
Throughout a journey around the historic highway, hidden beaches and features of Maui are found, bringing to life the beauty of the island and the chance to see the most amazing sites the island has to offer. The best way to travel around the highway is on a guided tour, allowing you to sit back and relax while enjoying the sites from the luxury of a deluxe bus. While on a tour, you will learn all about the island from a resident of the island, stopping frequently to enjoy the stunning, natural beauty of Maui and see great places that you otherwise may not have seen. Stops around the Road to Hana include:
- Wai’anapanapa Black Sand Beach
- Koki Red Sand Beach
- Wailua Falls
- Seven Sacred Pools
- Ohe’o Gulch
- Puohokamoa Falls
- Kaupo Store
It is safe to say that you are going to fall head over heels in love with Maui, and will love everything that the island has to offer. Maui is routinely recognized as one of the best travel destinations in the entire world, and after a trek around the Road to Hana, you will see why.
