A Hana Private Tour Takes You On A Heavenly Coastal Journey

By Marla Mills


Your Hana private tour venture will guide you through a memorable day long excursion. You will be traveling on a famous roadway along the coast. The trip will be the highlight of the journey. There will be plenty of opportunities to stop and explore the luxuriant splendor of Maui. This route on the eastern coast passes at least 50 one lane bridges and 600 sharp curving turns on the road. This 52 mile stretch usually takes over three hours one way.

Getting there is half the fun. The destination also has its special charm and is meaningful in its own way. The unspoiled beauty of this district and its rich history will be the cherry on the cake in this day trip. Queen Kaahumanu, the wife of King Kamehameha I, who united the islands, was born here. She was a powerful lady herself.

On this scenic tour there will be plenty of picture taking opportunities. One of the best drives in the world is renowned for a reason. Several different ecosystems are passed. Parts of this route have lush rain forests, sheer cliffs, inviting beaches and some of the most stunning outback on the Hawaiian islands. The coastal region is rich in Hawaiian history. It has been the scene of many turning points in Hawaiian culture.

Maui is not short of good surfing spots. Most of these are within proximity of Paia, a hippy town. This town is on the northern coast. It is also the official setting off point for the journey. It is the last location with a commercial center. There are some places to eat here. Essentially, it is a settlement fueled in the past by a sugar plantation.

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 the drive winds along this spectacular twisting road, natural splendor is visible on all sides. The roadway passes through waterfalls, rainforests, bamboo forests and tall cliffs. Paia, Wailua Falls, the Keanae Valley Lookout, Kaumahina and Wai'anapanapa State Parks and Puaa Kaa will keep picture takers busy.

Beaches for windsurfing, the Oheo Stream and Pools and other places invite quick dips. Many waterfalls and trails entice travelers to investigate them. If the weather is hospitable and time is not an issue, numerous distractions are available throughout the day. The serene beauty of this side of Maui offers a refreshing atmosphere. Bring some hiking gear, a camera and a swimming suit and other associated items to make the most of this trip.

The destination is the area between Keanae and Kaupo. Ten miles south of the outskirts is Haleakala National Park in Kipahulu. Here lie the Pools of Oheo. The waterfalls pour into tiered pools before the water enters the sea. An invigorating hike up the Pipiwai Trail takes the venturesome to the 400 foot tall Waimoku Falls. Approximately 2500 or so people live there today. Around 1,500 reside in the town area. Prior to European arrival, the area sustained a large native population. Historic St. Sophias Church marks your arrival at the end of the Hana private tour journey to this destination.
