A Hana Private Tour Will Take You Along A Heavenly Coastal Maui Highway

By Marla Mills


A road trip to remember will be the objective of this Hana private tour. This journey will demonstrate a journey can be the most important part of a trip. Travelers will have plenty of chances to explore the verdant beauty of Maui. Traveling along the eastern coast of this island, they will pass more than 50 single lane bridges and 600 hairpin turns along the road. This 52 mile journey from Kahului usually exceeds over three hours each way.

A delightful day lies in store. The end of the road also has its own charm and meaningful history. The untouched nature of the district and its place in history are an attraction as well. The wife of King Kamehameha I, Queen Kaahumanu, was born here. She was a strong and powerful leader in her own right.

This region has been the scene of several landmarks in Hawaiian culture. Many historical events were realized there. Its vivid environment will provide many a chance to take a picture. A host of ecosystems will be passed on the roadway. Plunging cliffs, tropical rainforests, beaches and magnificent outback scenes are visible on this route. This is why it is known to have few rivals for its scenic splendor. This trip will confirm it lives up to its reputation.

Of course as Maui has no shortage of good surfing spots, these will be readily available on the road. Many are nearby Paia, once the base of a sugar plantation economy. This town beloved of hippies is situated on the northern side. It is the official marker for the start of the drive. This is also the last junction with a commercial town center and offers a few places to feed the hungry.

About two miles further lies Hookipa, which is renowned as one of the best windsurfing spots anywhere. In the opposite direction, about 2 miles away, is Baldwin Beach Park. The park is popular with families, shell seekers and yoga devotees. Mamas Fish House, one of the finest seafood restaurants, is on this pathway as well.

As you follow this spectacular winding route, a bouquet of natural beauty will be before your eyes. The path will pass through waterfalls, bamboo forests, cliffs and rainforest territory. The Keanae Valley Lookout, Wailua Falls, the Wai'anapanapa and Kaumahina State Parks, Puaa Kaa and Paia offer many opportunities to use your camera.

An expert guide will show windsurfing beaches, the Oheo Stream and Pools and other venues for a quick dip. The numerous trails and waterfalls tempt travelers to explore them. If the weather permits and there is time, there are many options to absorb visitors during the day. The serenity of this hidden side of Maui refreshes the soul and cleanses the spirit. Hiking gear, a camera, some provisions and a bathing suit will come in handy.

Between Keanae and Kaupo is the final destination. Ten miles beyond its outskirts to the south lies Haleakala National Park, which is situated in Kipahulu. Here are the well known Pools of Oheo. On this site, water enters the sea after spilling into tiered pools from a waterfall. The Pipiwai Trail promises an invigorating hike for the adventurous up to the Waimoku Falls. These waterfalls are 400 feet high. Before the advent of Europeans, the area had a large native population. St. Sophias Church marks the end of the Hana private tour journey to this unspoiled slice Hawaii.
