Best Scenic Drives on Maui, Hawaii — Road to Hana & Mountain Routes

Best Scenic Drives on Maui, Hawaii

Maui’s coastlines and mountains offer some of Hawaii’s most dramatic driving routes. Lush valleys, waterfalls, volcanic crater overlooks, and ocean vistas dominate these roads. Plan extra time — Hawaiian roads are narrow and scenic views demand frequent stops.

Road to Hana — 64 Miles, 10-12 Hours

The most famous scenic drive in Hawaii. Starting in Kahului (central Maui), the road climbs through lush tropical valleys with over 600 curves and 50 waterfalls. The drive is slow by necessity — narrow, winding road through dense vegetation with frequent one-lane bridges and waterfall pulloffs.

Day Trips on Maui

Maui is a small island with enormous variety — you can drive from sea level to 10,000 feet in 90 minutes, snorkel in a volcanic crater, and wind through 600 hairpin turns on one of the world’s greatest drives, all in separate day trips.

Haleakalā Sunrise — 1.5 Hours from Resort Areas

Watching the sunrise from 10,023 feet above sea level — above the clouds, with the sun breaking over the crater rim — is one of the most awe-inspiring natural experiences in America.
