Great Drives around Maui the See ma pp age 68. STA RT : 1 2 3 4 >> >> >> >> Road to Hana . page 70 See map 5 HANA 6 We are comfortable saying that the Road to Hana is our personal favorite in terms of scenic highways. Don't take our word for it, though -- on the following pages check out the photos of the sights this famous road offers. The road starts on route 36 in Paia, and then the mile markers reset to 0 when Route 36 becomes 360 - a good time to reset your odometer. One note of caution: Never leave valuables in your unattended car or trunk better safe than sorry! >> This 42-mile road (from mile-marker 0) is literally carved into the side of the island and offers some of the world's most breathtaking oceanfront scenery. Helpful Tips along the way: 1. Explore Paia Get some gas (no station until Hana) and take in the relaxed vibe of this town some refer to as "Maui's Hippie Haven." Don't miss Sand & Sea for your Maui made gifts. 2. Fuel yourself There are some places to eat in Hana, but prefer a picnic lunch and smoothies for the drive from Hana Picnic Lunch Co. 8 7 3. Stay dry 6. Never get lost 4. Stay safe 7. Sample some banana bread It rains on the way to Hana... A lot. Bring a rain poncho or umbrella and a few plastic Ziplocs for your camera and wallet. Too late? Stop by Hana Picnic Lunch Co. for supplies. When you get out to explore, remember that many areas will be muddy, slippery, steep, or heck, all three. Be careful! 5. Bring a swimsuit It's romantic to skinny dip near a waterfall, but the Road to Hana is pretty popular and you probably won't be alone. Pack a suit and towel just to be safe. Don't miss sights. Grab a Hana CD Tour (Hana Picnic Lunch Co., in Paia) or download GyPSy Guide's Hana tour App (gypsyGuide/apps/maui). Since 1983, "Half Way to Hana" has been baking it fresh daily with local island bananas. It's "melt in your mouth" delicious! 8. The final stop On the way home be sure to stop in at Ono Gelato in Paia for fresh Maui-made gelato, and a java boost for the last leg of your journey.
