Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach

05/27/22

We explored quite a bit on the Road to Hana, and this was hands-down our favorite spot! Getting to the trail feels a little sneaky as you have to walk around the right side of the Hana Community Center and find the trailhead in the tree line. The trail itself offers beautiful views of the ocean and the beach itself is stunning and, as the name says, truly a deep red color! It was a peaceful spot for both sitting on the beach and snorkeling - the rocky barricade keeps the water calm for exploration. We saw a huge variety of fish! We also witnessed a "private" Hawaiian wedding while we were there, which was a pretty cool experience! This stop is a must on your Road to Hana experience!

Some have fresh water swimming holes you can hang out in. Sunrise her...

Camp at Wai'anapanapa State Park

Wai'anapanapa State Park is located at mile marker 32 on the Hana Highway. The park has limited parking, but many of the tourists are making quick stops on their journey to Hana and the turnover for parking is fast.

Hike to the Seven Sacred Pools

This hike departs from the Kpahulu Visitor Center and heads out along the Kuloa Trail. The trail will take you through a bamboo forest and past several pools and falls. Be sure to get there early as the later it gets in the day, the more crowded the pools get. Hike the route counter-clockwise and be aware of any potential rogue waves as you head near the ocean. Also keep in mind that you should...

Hike the Pipiwai Trail to Waimoku

Located in Haleakala National Park on Maui's southeastern coast, this trail is well maintained by the National Park Service and is quite popular with visitors. Like most popular hikes, it is advised you get there early and try to go on a weekday and in the offseason if possible. Entrance to the park is $15 which will get you a three-day pass, so if you plan on visiting Haleakala's summit, this ...

Hike the Lau'ulu Trail to the Kalapawili Ridge

If you are looking for something akin to true backcountry travel and scrambling in Maui, the Lau'ulu trail and the Pohaku Palaha summit on the north/north east rim of the Haleakala volcano is a great option. You will find solitude, unparalleled views of the crater, surreal high-altitude tropical rainforest, Maui, the Big Island in the distance and a sunrise that is impossible to describe. Note:...
