Maui's Road to Hāna is a perfect example of how sometimes the journey can be just as rewarding as the destination. This coastal drive, which connects Kahului to the town of Hāna in east Maui, is dotted with awe-inspiring attractions, from cascading waterfalls and towering rainbow eucalyptus trees to vast bamboo forests and colorful beaches. But with 620 curves and 59 bridges (most of which are one lane wide), the 52-mile-long route can be as dangerous as it is beautiful – which is why the Hawaii Tourism Authority encourages visitors to opt for a guided tour as opposed to navigating the road themselves.
