Road to Hana, is Maui's signature scenic tour. The road goes from Paia to Hana where you can stop along the way to hike in the tropical forest, view waterfalls, plantations, gardens & beaches. I recommend taking the whole day to do this and leave very early in the morning to avoid traffic.

One of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is big, long, the sand is beautifull. This is a must see beach. Big waves with short breaks are often present so swim with caution. If this is the case you can always go to little beach on the other side of the mountain if you don't mind it being a nude beach.
