The reserve road through Hana has its advantages, but also has it’s risks. Many people believe it to be dangerous. We traveled the road to give you an idea of what to expect incase you are considering taking the backroads as we did. Overall, it was pretty safe and enjoyable. I definitely wouldn’t not recommend it on a rainy day. Roads would get very slippery in my opinion.

Nice video and nice background music! Did it back 15 years ago and nothing’s changed. Like you said, do it in daylight, good weather with NO rain.

Wifey and I did it on July, 2022. It wasn't too bad. We were worried that the road might be closed at one point and we wouldn't be able to turn around, but we made it through. We will never do it again though. It takes too long and if your car breaks down you would be in trouble. There is no phone connection for the most of the way.

Well done. The background music while you weren't talking represented the awesome feeling you get pn that route . Did this in 2017 and the scary part is when you see boulders on the road and realize they must have fallen off the sheer walls to your left. You had to hope one didn't fall on you😮 Also there were times you had to get close o the edge on very narrow parts to let on-comers by.

I did the Hana highway from Kehei counter clockwise... Didn't have a clue about the Hana highway was heading to the sacred falls

Good lookin, yo! Safe travels!

Thank you for filming this.... what was the app? there's no link to it. Was it the Gypsy app or the Shaka Maui app? Or something different? Sounded like some great narration.

We drove the Road to Hana , last week,the other way. My fiancé went the other way b4, I’m glad to see it through your excellent video, thanks, guess this might be why JEEP’s ate the most rented. Thanks 🙏 ✈️👍😃🏝🍷

Where did you guys start from and what time do you get on the road in the morning? Thanks!
-
We did it the regular way last week, all of the way around in 11 hours in a jeep and it was fine. The video seems to look way scarier than real life was but probably because we weren't cliff side. Maybe someday that rough section will get paved.

So which app was this? Shaka? Gypsy? It wasn’t mentioned in the description 😉 Thanks in advance!!

Hello, from Paia to Hana (last stop Pipiwai Trail). I don't want to drive this backside part, so I'll just just drive back to highway 360 and not continue to highway 31?
-
What is the app you used? Thanks!
-
Would you please show me how to go reverse rout ? What do I put in Google map to go that way ?

Drove this road a few years ago in a Chevy Malibu and had no problems, just drive with caution. Came up to Hana the traditional way and continued on this road and saw some fantastic country. The little country store we ran across way back there was the coolest thing and the remnants of the old church.

Great video, I support you 👍+🔔🔔

Could it be done in a normal car? Toyota camry?. how late did you guys get back into Lahaina? Thanks
-
I drove from Lahaina in Maui clockwise on Route 340 to Wailuku.. it scared the shit out of me when I drove thru one way stretch with no guard rails in a mini van! Did you try that route?
-
Description says "I definitely wouldn't not recommend on a rainy day?" So, you recommend to still drive on a rainy day?
-
When was this?
-
I was scared, but also cause my life in someone else’s hands. The back was pitch black and raining.
