Best Hana Highway Stops

The Hāna Highway is one incredible drive.

When Diane and I drove it we had a little convertible that we had to manually put the top up and down.

We would be driving in sunshine and go around a corner and would be in rain. We would stop and put the top up and start driving again. Around the next corner the sun would be out so we would stop and put the top down. This went off and on for almost 28 miles. :-)

In our case we did not make it all of the way to Hāna. I was getting car sick and I was doing the driving. Hāna is only about 52 miles from Kahului, but a typical trip to Hāna takes about three hours

The road is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one-lane bridges, requiring oncoming traffic to yield and occasionally causing brief traffic jams if two vehicles meet head-on. There are approximately 620 curves.

This is a very beautiful drive as you can see in this video.
