Around each comer you will discover a new and exciting world of tropical beauty. This tropical rainforest is alive with fragrant island flowers, trees ripe with fruits, layers of dense green foliage and singing exotic birds.

Lunch in Hana, then you're off again.
TOWN OF HANA
Along Maui's rugged eastern coastline is the peaceful town of Hana, considered one of the last unspoiled Hawaiian frontiers. The legendary road to Hana is only 52 miles from Kahului, however the drive can take anywhere from two to four hours to complete since it's fraught with narrow one-lane bridges, hairpin turns and incredible island views. The Hana Highway (HI-360) has 620 curves and 59 bridges. The road leads you through flourishing rainforests, flowing waterfalls, plunging pools and dramatic seascapes.
