Hana is on the east side of Maui. It is a full day’s drive to go to Hana and back in the same day. We would recommend you start early if you planing a visit. There are fantastic views along a very narrow and curvy road after you start around the east side of Maui. Be sure to visit Kahanu Gardens as well of the Seven Sacred Pools (Pools of ‘Ohe’o). The pools are actually part of Haleakala National Park. The National Park now calls the pools “Haleakala National Park, Kipahulu.” As you can see in the photos below, many people swim in the pools. Use caution if you plan to join the crowd.
