Hana the last underdevoped tropical paridise on maui. Views of spectacular waterfalls, Hana shorline, and some of the best beaches on the Island can only begin to decribe what awaits you on this journey. when me and my girl friend start out early in the morning we just know it's going to be good it is why we both moved here from the states it's the only thing that takes our minds off all our problems from work and other torchers of the daily grind.
A trip to Hana is said to revitalize many local residents from the city life of the other side of the island. The natural beauty of the Hana experience will take you back in time and give you an idea of what the rest of Maui was like 30 years ago. Unspoiled, Serene and Mystical: Hana is truly Maui's "Last Hawaiian Place.
We pack our lunch fuel the car and head out the door we stop in piai it has the last fueling point till you get to hana and there is only one gas station there.
I couldn't help but pity the hundreds of tourists who drive the 50-mile-long Hana Highway every day, braving some 600 curves and more than 50 one-lane bridges, tunneling through jungled forests, counting waterfalls. They arrive in town in time to look for lunch and turn around to repeat the drive.
To experience this Hana, stay a while. I started my visit by renting my own oceanside bungalow. Knowing I had a place to stay when I reached the end of the Hana Highway allowed me to slow down and indulge in the highlights of the 50-mile drive. By sunset, I was settling into my white plantation-style house, watching cotton candy clouds over Hana Bay.
The next morning, I wandered down to Hana Beach Park, whose bay is popular for its sandy bottom, smooth surface, and good snorkeling. Also popular is Tutu's, a snack shop where I picked up a breakfast sandwich to eat under a sprawling kamani tree. Kids dove from the nearby pier and fishing boats took off for a day at sea.
Behind the park is Kauiki Hill, a cinder cone covered in wispy ironwood trees. Its bloodred, the natural fortress was the scene of battles in the 1700s between chiefs of the Big Island and Maui.
when the weekend is over we me and my girl friend feel as though we have been on anotherf part of the world as we drive back to kehei it is the best time in the worl and its only 60 miles away from where we live. |
