Jaws Maui Directions

Watch for the green Mile Marker signs on the side of the road to help you find the Jaws Maui location.

Driving Directions to Jaws

Using the Kahului airport (where you probably arrived in Maui) as a reference point, head east along the north shore of Maui on highway 36 (road to Hana). Between mile markers 13 and 14, turn left at Hahana Road. Once this paved road ends, you are on a private dirt road owned by Maui Land and Pineapple.

If it's dry enough you may be able to drive. Otherwise you hike for over a mile until you get to the Peahi cliffs that tower over Jaws and serve as your observation area.

So going to Jaws is not as simple as driving up to a parking lot.

There is no driving or parking infrastructure to support spectators - you could end up walking from the Hana Highway to the coast.

Still thinking you will drive to see the big waves? The short video at the bottom of this page gives you a good perspective of the private dirt road you may be driving on to reach Jaws.
