Pauwela Cafe HAS CLOSEDPauwela Cafe is a new breakfast stop before you drive the road to Hana in addition to the popular Charley's in the town of Paia.Even if you eat out for breakfast you can still get an early start on the Hana Highway - on weekedays the Pauwela Cafe opens for breakfast at 7AM. This Maui restaurant is also a good place for lunch if you are watching big wave surfing at Jaws or windsurfing at Ho'okipa Beach Park.
Pauwela Cafe ReviewFrom Frommer's Travel Guide for Maui Restaurants:
Chef Brandon Shim (formerly with Tommy Bahamas in Wailea) has learned well. Nearly everything in this tiny cafe is made from scratch. Because this cafe is located in an industrial center of sailboard and surfboard manufacturers, you may find a surf legend dining at the next table. Breakfast $4.25-$8.50; lunch $5.25-$9.50 Pauwela Cafe DirectionsAfter Mile Marker 12 on the road to Hana (Highway 36), take the third right turn onto West Kuiaha Road. Go about 1 1/2 miles on West Kuiaha Road to the Pauwela Cannery on the left.Pauwela Cafe Breakfast MenuPauwela Breakfast Two Poached Eggs, Potatoes, Bacon & Whole Wheat Toast

The tiny Pauwela Cafe, with a few tables indoors and out, has a strong local following for many reasons. Three local boys purchased this well-loved cafe in 2004.

Road to Hana Tours
If you want someone else to drive on a road to Hana tour, you have several options:
• Temptation Tours includes a breakfast and beachside lunch, road to Hana stops at waterfalls and beaches, then turnaround at Hana and stop at windsurfing Hookipa Beach on you return trip.
• Valley Isle Excursions is a luxury tour - customized high roof large window 12 person vans, large captain's chairs, and a lunch served with silverware and linens.
• Roberts Hawaii includes a box lunch and a trip all around the road to Hana and beyond. Roberts Hawaii is a value priced company and works with several cruise lines.
If you want to talk to someone right now on Maui about a road to Hana tour, call Barefoot Tours toll free 877-489-3054 (they are on Hawaii time). 
Even if you are on Maui or Hawaii now, or soon will be, they can get your tickets to you by email, fax, mail, or even delivered to the Road to Hana tour operator for last minute ticket reservations.
Tell them Randy Willis sent you and recommended that you ask about their low price guarantee.
I have several free Road to Hana Maui maps on these web pages that you can print and take with you to Maui.
If you want a traditional folded Maui map, I recommend purchasing the folded version of the Frankos Maui map ($6) to give you a good orientation of the Road to Hana.
What makes Frankos maps unique? Descriptions and tips are written right on the map.
So you don't have to read about a destination in a Maui book, then locate that destination on a map.
It's like you scribbled your own personal vacation notes all over your own personal map.
Franko also has a laminated Maui map (great to use as a placemat at home or during your Maui vacation), folded and laminated Maui dive and snorkel maps, and a 6"x9" laminated Maui fish ID card.
If you purchase the map in advance of your Maui vacation, you can spread the map out for some trip planning on the long flight to Maui.
So for a few bucks, you can get some Maui specific maps that focus on what you want to see as a vacationer, rather than a focus on advertisements.
You can just print this page and other pages on this site to build yourself a pretty good free Road to Hana Guide to take with you to Maui.
If you would prefer to have a more conventional printed book, or just want a lot more detail than is provided on these pages, try the Road to Hana category at my Maui Vacation Guides page. They include:
General Maui travel guide books such as Maui Revealed, by far the largest selling Maui guide book, that include Road to Hana maps and chapters.
Specialty books such as Hana Highway: Mile by Mile with Hana maps
Traditional Maui folded maps such as Frankos Maui Guide Map that highlight the Road to Hana
