Driving the Road to Hana: recommendations for your Maui road trip

14 October 2017

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant

Last Updated on 23 May 2025

Inarguably Hawaii’s most iconic driving route, no trip to Maui is complete without braving the Road to Hana. Winding for more than 100km through the beautiful and often untamed Maui jungle towards a town of the same name, the Hana Highway is a shockingly narrow road whose hair-pin turns and zig-zagging will be enough to unsteady even the strongest of stomachs. It’s lucky, then, that there are dozens of incredible waterfalls, beaches, and hikes to enjoy along the route, as frequent stopping is essential.

This is not a drive for the faint of heart, but ultimately, it’s an adventure and a beautiful one at that! Here’s everything you need to know about driving the Road to Hana, including my recommendations for planning your road trip and the best stops along the way.

Driving the Road to Hana

As amazing as the Road to Hana can be, a full day in the car enduring hundreds of abrupt turns and impossibly narrow two-lane roads is not everyone’s idea of a good time.

After our experience on the Road to Hana, there were certainly some mixed feelings (and perhaps some less-than-mixed feelings, as carsickness claimed a few victims). I’d definitely still recommend the drive, but with some modifications to make sure it’s more enjoyable.

Tip 1 | Avoid Hana Highway

Yes, I know Hana Highway is the Road to Hana, but you can enjoy so many of the wonderful stops without having to endure hours on this torturous road. We drove along the south coast from Lahaina to Hana, on the recommendation of our waiter the previous night, and this proved a far less crowded and winding alternative to the Hana Highway we took on our way back. I can only imagine the state we would have been in if we drove the Hana Highway both ways, but one way was still more than enough for some roadside vomiting to occur…

If you’re going to tackle to whole drive in a single day, I strongly recommend taking the southern route on the way to Hana and taking the Hana Highway on the way home. Better yet, though, plan to stay in Hana for the night and drive the Hana Highway fresh the next day!

Tip 2 | Allow more time

That’s probably the best idea: give yourself two days. We missed out on a lot of great stops because we were all feeling too ill to enjoy ourselves and just wanted to get home. The first half of the drive was where all the fun happened, so perhaps the experience would have been better if we broke it into 2 days and stayed the night in Hana.

Not only does it give you the opportunity to recover after a stressful day of driving before you embark on the other half of the journey, it also gives you more time to explore the hikes, waterfalls, and beaches that make the Road to Hana so worthwhile in the first place.

Tip 3 | Combat carsickness

Perhaps this was a problem unique to us— as we were pulled over for another vomit on the side of the road, an American couple could be heard shouting from their bright blue Jeep “this is such a fun road to drive!”— but if you find yourself at all prone to carsickness, then do yourself a favour and be prepared to combat the inevitable nausea.

Whether that means bringing Dramamine, getting an open-air car, or just splitting the drive into 2 days, having realistic expectations of the drive and preparing accordingly will save a lot of pain and really maximise the fun.

Tip 4 | Do your research

Amazingly, the Road to Hana is so poorly signed that it’s near-impossible to find the beautiful waterfalls and viewpoints you’ve been dreaming of if you don’t know where to look.

I’d strongly recommend plotting your favourite stops on Google Maps or even using the Road to Hana app to navigate. And the second I stopped keeping track of where we were, assuming we could just “wing it” (and also succumbing to some intense nausea from looking at my phone), we missed an enormous stretch of stops that I had wanted to see. Do your research to find out where you’d most like to stop and then stay alert if you want to make the turn.

Now, if I haven’t totally frightened everyone away from their own Road to Hana trip, let me just say that it’s one of the most beautiful places you’ll ever explore, simply overflowing with natural wonders, and a well-planned trip will undoubtedly leave you dying to come back.

Best stops on the Road to Hana

Sun Yat Sen Park

One of our first stops of the morning was this Asian-inspired garden overlooking the volcano and the west side of the island. Both approaching and driving away from this park, there are a number of (somewhat sketchy) road widenings where you could pull over for even better views, if you’re prepared to stop quickly.

Pipiwai Trail & Bamboo Forest

The one thing I had read about on the Road to Hana that I simply had to do was the hike along Pipiwai Trail to Waimoku Falls. Entry into the park was $20, payable by credit card, and then the walk departs from a little visitor’s centre. The trail is fairly moderate and not more than a few kilometres, but the heat can often make it feel more challenging than it is. The reward for all the sweat, though, is a collection of beautiful little waterfalls, a walk through the amazing (and well-shaded!!) Bamboo Forest, and a view up to the towering Waimoku Falls. If you only do one thing, make sure it’s this hike!

Waimoku Falls

Once at the end of the Pipiwai Trail, you reach Waimoku Falls, an incredibly tall waterfall cascading over a black cliff that is all-too-tempting to just throw yourself under. To get closer to the falls, you walk directly behind the sign that says “don’t pass this point”, which I felt a bit bad about, but Callum had already disappeared beyond it and I was trying to catch up to get some of his Gatorade, so.

Waianapanapa State Park

Rated one of the best beaches in the world, this stunning black sand beach is flanked by palm trees, tropical flowers, and lush green vegetation, but looks slightly other-worldly just because of the pitch black sand. We didn’t hop out of the car for a swim here as we would have liked, but even driving by and snapping a few photos was beautiful.

Hana & the Rainbow Eucalyptus trees

By the time we finally reached Hana, we were more than a little wilted by the driving and the heat, so we just settled for some nibbles at a little café. Only minutes after being back in the car, though, we had to pull over for more fresh air— coincidentally, pulling over right next to the famous Rainbow Eucalyptus trees that line a small section of the Hana Highway. It was pure luck that we even got to see these incredibly colourful trees, but I’m so glad we did!

  • DOHA, QATAR 🇶🇦✨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture 

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days 

GETTING AROUND
Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest

  • Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us 🌋🔥

Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves 💃🏻

  • Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) → Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program 😅)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?

  • Cut by the bright turquoise Gokase River, this magical little gorge in central Kyushu is often called the most beautiful place in Japan— and we might just agree!! 🇯🇵🌸✨

📍 Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki Prefecture

TIPS FOR VISITING:
- the site is open 8am-5pm
- entry is ¥1,000 per person + parking is available nearby
- reserve a row boat (30min) for ¥4,000 on weekdays or ¥5,000 on weeekends (boats do sell out!)
- the best light is after 10.30am, when sun hits the waterfall
- free paths run along both sides of the gorge, so you can enjoy great views even if you don’t hire a boat

👇🏻 If you’ve been to Japan, what’s the most beautiful place in your opinion? (tell me in the comments so I can save for our next Japan trip 😅)
  • things in Japan that just make sense: it’s gotta be the free footbaths, for me!! 

📍 Sakurajima Nagisa Foot Bath Park in Kagoshima, Japan

road-tripping through Kyushu on a rainy day in May, we pulled over at these baths near the active Sakurajima volcano and couldn’t believe the view. these are one of the longest footbaths in Japan, with more than 100m of naturally-heated water from deep underground, and amazingly it’s completely FREE to visit!

  • Welcome to the Beppu Hells 🔥

Beppu is one of Japan’s most famous onsen towns, known for its Hells (Jigoku), a collection of dramatic hot spring pools that are way too hot for bathing but incredible to look at!

There are 7 main “hells”, each with its own character:
- Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell): a steaming cobalt blue pool and a gorgeous foot bath (one of the only places the water is hot but safe)
- Oniishibozu Jigoku (Monk’s Head Hell): bubbling grey mud pools
- Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell): milky turquoise pond surrounded by gardens
- Kamado Jigoku (Cooking Pot Hell): multi-coloured pools + steam vents, plus you can buy volcanic steam-cooked eggs and buns (believed to have health benefits, but also a super fun novelty snack)
- Oniyama Jigoku (Demon Mountain Hell): home to 70+ crocodiles (!)
- Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell): deep red iron-rich pool
- Tatsumaki Jigoku (Spout Hell): powerful geyser erupting every 30–40min

TIPS FOR VISITING
💴 Entry: ¥2,200 for a combo ticket (all 7 hells)
⏱️ Timing: allow 2–3hrs to explore
🚗 Getting around: you can easily walk between the hells, but since it was raining, we drove our little hire car
☔️ When to visit: open year-round; fun even on rainy days!

  • postcards from magical little Miyajima 🌸✨

this island is located about an hour from Hiroshima & is a fantastic day trip— but even better as a relaxing overnighter. 

visit the iconic red Torii Gate, take the scenic ropeway to Mt Misen’s Peak, feed the free-roaming deer, sample the island’s many oyster treats, see the 5-story pagoda Taho-to, and cap it all off with a traditional stay at Kikunoya. slow-paced bliss ✨

DOHA, QATAR 🇶🇦✨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture

Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us 🌋🔥

Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves 💃🏻

welcome to Qatar 🇶🇦✨ One of the most surprising places we visited in the Middle East was Doha! Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, and the city feels welcoming, approachable & surprisingly easy to explore. HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest PLACE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO 📍Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos 📍Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M. Pei-designed building 📍Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography or a boat ride!) 📍Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon 📍Fish Market: a lively (& very local) slice of daily life in the Mina District, with the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen! 📍Qanat Quartier: a quirky “Little Venice” with canals & bridges, plenty of great restaurants here 📍Katara Cultural Village: home to art galleries, amphitheatres & beachfront cafés . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar

Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) → Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program 😅)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?
