Driving the Road to Hana, Maui, Hawaii

This video provides a short sample of driving conditions while traveling from the southeast side of Maui along the the narrow, winding Hana Highway 360 (2/2/2013). Many guides define the Road to Hana starting in the small town of Pa'ia and traveling along Hana Highway 360 to the southeast side of the island, several miles past Hana. Multitudes of narrow roads, 1 lane bridges, switchbacks and blind curves make this trek an all day affair as well as a hair raising adventure. Renting a convertable allows you to get the full experience, but be sure to you can manually shift the transmission in low gear for engine braking on those downhill stretches. If you are an overly cautious driver, please remember to pull off when possible to let locals and faster traffic pass. As you may notice near the end of the video (4:40), waterfall enthusiasts and other photographers can be found on the side of the road. With everything going on, it is very easy to get distracted. Happy motoring.
