Touring The Heart Of Hawaii On The Road To Hana

By Preston Khan | September 7, 2012

Dreaming of discovering what Hawaii is really about on your vacation? There is a place where the mountains meet the sea, where life is beautiful and moves slower than the busy bustling sidewalks of Waikiki. The Road to Hana is waiting for you to discover the heart of Hawaii!

The Road to Hana

Carving its way through lush valleys and along the steep coastal slopes of Haleakala, the Road to Hana is unlike any other drive in Hawaii. Over 600 curves and 50 one-lane bridges make it one of the most tricky to drive, and the scenery is nothing short of stunningly spectacular.

Have you ever experienced the sensation of black sand between your toes? It’s extraordinary! Thick and coarse grains don’t blow around in the wind and it gives the water an even deeper turquoise color. Truly amazing!
