During my recent trip to Maui, Hawaii, I drove the Road to Hana and made many awesome stops along the way. This drive really is about the journey and not the destination. There are so many beautiful places to pull over and things to see, from cascading waterfalls to red sand beaches, black sand beaches and a bamboo forest.

These are the mile markers for the places I stopped:
22: Pua'a Ka'a Falls
32: Wai'anapanapa State Park (Black Sand Beach)
34: Hana Town / hidden Red Sand Beach
45: Wailua Falls
Last stop: Ohe'o Gulch / Seven Sacred Pools
2: Twin Falls

My gear:
My camera – Canon 5D Mark IV: amzn.to/2LTFOwT
Canon 16-35mm lens (awesome wide angle): amzn.to/2Jsstx4
Canon 70-200 zoom lens (great for events): amzn.to/2Jms9A5
Canon 85mm 1.2 (my FAVORITE portrait lens): amzn.to/2kEuV5I
Canon 85mm 1.8 (a cheaper alternative): amzn.to/2LQMAnk
Canon 50mm 1.4 (second favorite portrait lens): amzn.to/2sAuKvN
DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone: amzn.to/2spNwqq
My favorite drone backpack: amzn.to/2snNE9M
ND filters for my drone: amzn.to/2LPmS2x
GoPro Hero6: amzn.to/2LemFEF

    You video made me miss Maui so much. Maui is the most beautiful place on earth. One day, when my kids are a little older, I hope to take them there.

    We drove this road about 8 years ago and loved it. It is very worth while to buy an audible guide to the road. It gives you various insights to things along the way.

    going there for my honeymoon in December and SO stoked to finally do the road to Hana!! I've been to Maui multiple times but never got the chance to take a day for the whole drive, love the mile markers you wrote down in the bio, super helpful!!
  • I live in Hawaii and thought this video would be "touristy," but it wasn't at all. Great job. I truly enjoyed this.

    Nicole,  Great video. We are going back for our third year in a row! First year we stayed in Kihei. Last year and our next trip will be in Lahaina. Our first time to Maui had us hooked! Such an AMAZING part of the country. Great video! I have a couple up but nothing like this! hahaOneNGlen

    It's a great trip. My girl friend and I saw a bull working a whole field of cows on the way.
