5. Kahanu Garden and Piilanihale Heiau
Just a mile back Ulaino Road at mile marker 31, take a stroll around Polynesia’s largest religious structure. The heiau was erected during the 16th century to honor Piilani, whose reign brought peace, prosperity, and abundance to Maui. Visitors are welcome to stroll through the gardens to view the heiau and the tropical plants on the grounds.
6. Kaeleku Caverns
For a different kind of adventure, grab a flashlight and head underground at the Kaeleku Caverns. The tunnel is essentially an underground lava tube composed of multiple chambers. At the end of the tunnel, explore the world’s largest ti plant maze!
7. Waianapanapa State Park
The black sand beaches of Waianapanapa State Park are exquisite. The area offers a scenic coastal hiking trail, freshwater pools, and camping spots for those who want to stay a while.
8. Hana Town
Hana is the only place along your journey to stock up on snacks and fuel. Plus, the Hana Cultural Center and Museum is a great place to visit for a break from the outdoors and a taste of traditional Hawaiian culture.
9. Hamoa Beach
Just a few miles outside of town, you will find Hana’s nicest beach. Hamoa Beach offers white sand, lush greenery, and crystal clear waters. When the water is calm, many visitors like to grab a mask and snorkel in the bay.
10. Pools of Oheo and Pipiwai Trail
Located in the Kipahulu section of Haleakala National Park, the Pools of Oheo are the final stop along the Road to Hana. These seven pools gently cascade into the ocean and serve as the base of Pipiwai Trail. The trail twists past waterfalls and dense bamboo groves, culminating at the breathtaking Waimoku Falls.
