Maui | Hawaii Itinerary 2/2

DAY THREE

Road to Hana—

A few tips: Fill up your gas tank. Pa’ia is first and last place to fill up along Road to Hana. Pack lunch, snacks, and water. Bring swim gear, mosquito repellent, rain gear, and full change of clothes. Not the best cell phone reception, so don’t rely on it! Pull over to let local drivers pass.

Stop One: Wainapanapa State Park (Black Sand Beach)—

Waimoku Falls & Pipiwai Trail—

A moderate hike that takes you through banyan trees and a bamboo forest and ends at Waimoku Falls, Maui’s tallest waterfall.

Some tips: Spray yourself down with mosquito repellent. The ground is uneven for most of the hike— you will be walking over roots and loose rocks, so choose your shoes appropriately. You’re hiking in a rainforest, so it will be at minimum very humid. It will most likely rain at some point during your hike, so plan accordingly.

It took us about 3-4 hours round trip to complete the hike.

Da Fish Shack—

Great place to stop for lunch along the Road to Hana. Fish tacos and fries were delicious!

Aunty Sandy's Banana Bread & Ke‘anae Point—

Grab some banana bread and take it to the beach. Soak in the views and ASMR as massive waves crash into lava rock at Ke’anae Point.

DAY FOUR

I ended up having to get some work done on day four, so we took full advantage of the cabanas by the pool and treated ourselves to pool service. Not a bad office for the day. We took the rest of the day easy, spending most of our time at the resort.

Tin Roof—

Ate here twice during our stay! Owned by Top Chef alumnus Chef Sheldon Simeon, this super casual eatery (no seating, just pick up and go) serves up creative and flavorful Hawaiian comfort fare.
