Road to Hana Best Stops

The road to Hana is a long day of touring, but the ocean views, rugged lava beaches, and waterfalls make the trip a day to remember.

Use the green Mile Marker signs on the side of the road to locate the best stops.

At first you probably won't even notice these Mile Markers, but once you learn to look for them, they will become indispensible for many of your Maui trips.

Keanae Park

Keanae Park (between the 16 and 17 mile markers) offers a peaceful stop with a ruggedly beautiful lava rock beach, banana bread stand, and restrooms. We spent almost an hour here exploring the area.

This stop is off the beaten path, so you will not see the hordes of tourists that clog the road by the waterfalls.

Nahiku Cove

Nahiku Cove on the road to Hana.

Nahiku Cove at mile marker 25 provides a cool green break at an isolated cove that is close to a rugged black lava rock beach.

This area is best known as home to famous people such as the late Beatle George Harrison, but all we saw were some locals.

The high rainfall encourages a lot of greenery, and we felt like we were going through a jungle on the three mile drive to the cove.

Three Bears Falls

You will see one breathtaking waterfall after another on the Hana highway.

Hana highway waterfall - Waikani Falls (Three Bears) Waikani Falls (between 19 and 20 mile markers), is also called Three Bears Falls (Papa, Mama, and Baby falls - like the bears!) because the three falls are different sizes.

Note: Like all the waterfalls on the Hana highway, water volume varies during the year and during the time of day.

There may be no falls if water volume is low; or one fall if the water volume is so high that one giant waterfall is created).

Black Sand Beach

The famous Hawaii black sand beach on the road to Hana coast. Wai'anapanapa State Park (just past the 32 mile marker) has a black sand beach, a freshwater spring fed pool in a lava cave for swimming, and restrooms.
