From the lush Pipiwai Trail to the calm waters of Hana Bay, this corner of East Maui offers one of the most rewarding slow-travel experiences in Hawaii. For travelers deciding where to stay in Hana, Maui, an oceanfront condo at Hana Kai Maui offers front-row access to both adventure and relaxation.
Start with the Pipiwai Trail
Begin your Hana adventure at the
Pipiwai Trail in the Kipahulu District of Haleakalā National Park, about four miles round-trip through some of Maui’s most beautiful landscapes. The trail winds past a sprawling banyan tree, overlooks of Makahiku Falls, and an otherworldly bamboo forest before ending at 400-foot Waimoku Falls. It’s a must-do hike for active travelers who want a classic East Maui experience.
Scenic stops along the Road to Hana
On your way to or from Pipiwai, take time to enjoy the famous Road to Hana, a 52-mile drive known for its tight curves, one-lane bridges, and countless roadside waterfalls. Many visitors break up the journey with stops at viewpoints, fruit stands, and beaches, turning the drive into a full-day sightseeing route rather than a race to the destination.
