Congratulations! You are ready to drive the picturesque road to Hana. The first thing to do is to top off your fuel. Next, download one of these apps on your smart phone (The app or the Shaka App) if you don’t have a smart phone, be sure to purchase the Road to Hana CD. The best advice we can give you is to bring a great attitude and don’t set any expectations. Take in the beauty of our island as it comes. As you are driving, you will see beauty all around you. Take your time and remember that it’s the journey more than the destination. With this in mind, pull over often for photos and to get a closer look without holding up other cars. If there are any cars behind you, let them pass. There are many locals who commute to work or other appointments. No one likes to play follow the leader while driving. Radio stations that work really well on the road is 94.3 (pop) 95.1 (classic rock) 103.9 (local & reggae) and 107.5 (mixed). Be sure to stop at roadside stands to support our local economy. We are located on the Keanae peninsula after mile marker 16, take a left hand turn to Keanae. We are famous for our Banana Bread which is always baked fresh. You can pick up drinks and snacks as well. In Hana, we love all the local food trucks from BBQ to fresh fish and even Thai food. Now for safety reminders, guardrails have been installed for your safety. Do not climb over them. Trust us on this one. Be mindful of private property signs. There are many waterfalls and ponds but some of them are on private property be respectful & stay out of these areas. Never ever go in a pond when it is raining. If the water looks brown or is moving swiftly, this is an indication that it was or is storming in the mountain and flash flooding is possible. The beaches have no life guards and we strongly recommend that you do not swim anywhere that has no life guards. Be sure to visit the state parks and the Haleakala National Park. We do not recommend driving past the national park. Turn around and head back on the road to see things you may have missed. By following our advice you will have had a great day taking in all the beauty that Maui has to offer!
