Hana Travel Guide

On the beautiful, scenic island of Maui is the tranquil little town of Hana. It's known as one of the last unspoiled places on the island, a kind of frontier of ancient Hawaii complete with a traditional small-town atmosphere.

Things to Do in Hana

The drive to Hana is notoriously precarious with hair pin bends and narrow bridges, but is well worth it to be dazzled with scenic views, seascapes, waterfalls, and lush rain forests. The serene, mysterious and natural beauty of Hawaii is alive and well in Hana.

Hana is home to St. Sophia’s Church, an historic church, and the famous Hasegawa General Store. Nearby to these landmarks visitors can reconnect with nature at Hana Beach Park or Hamoa Beach. These gorgeous stretches of paradise are the perfect way to explore paradise by either sunbathing or swimming. Alternatively, go snorkeling at Waianapanapa State Park and admire the black sand beach there while learning about the legend of the caves. For something completely unique, see the red sand beach at Kaihalulu Beach and then hike to Waimoku Falls through the Bamboo Forest .

For something less strenuous, head to Hale Piilani, a large Hawaiian temple in Kahanu Gardens, and explore the Hana Maui Botanical Gardens where a diverse range of tropical flowers are on display.

Best Time to Visit Hana

The most ideal months for a visit to Maui are late March, April, May, August, September, and early October.
