East Maui
East Maui
The Hāna Highway (HI-360) begins in the town of Kahului in Central Maui and snakes along the island’s northern coast for 52 miles. The drive to Hāna can take as few as 3 hours or last an entire day, depending on how many pictures you stop to take and food stands you sample.
After you’ve navigated the more than 600 white-knuckle turns and 50 bridges, you’ll enter Hāna—a charming small town where time seems an abstract concept and aloha is a way of life. Just beyond Hāna is the Kīpahulu section of Haleakalā National Park and the stunning Pools of ʻOheʻo.
