This area is also home to the endangered Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, which can be found along the shore and basking on the beach. • Maliko Gulch is a sheltered bay on Maui's northern coast, bordered by steep cliffs, notable for being a launch site for what is deemed the best downwind paddle experience. • Twin Falls represents the first set of easily reachable waterfalls and pools along the Road to Hana. • Haipua'ena Falls is a small waterfall and pool located on Maui's popular Road to Hana, which receives fewer visitors due to its unsigned trail and short trek over an often muddy path. • The Ke'anae Peninsula forms a dramatic half-mile protrusion of newer lava from the cliff line of the Hana Highway. • Enjoy the taste of Aunty Sandy’s Banana Bread and other local snacks during your journey to Hana, which gained fame from chef Gordon Ramsey, increasing its popularity as a hidden gem. • This location is ideal for taking photographs in thrilling situations. • The Keanae Overlook, located near Mile Marker 17, offers picturesque views of Keanae's taro patches against the sea in the background. The turnoff for the Keanae Peninsula is just past the Keanae Arboretum. • Upper Waikani Falls, often called Three Bears, is found just beyond Mile Marker 19 on the mauka or mountain side of the Hana Highway. • The waterfall, widely celebrated for its beauty, serves as a favored spot for photos in Maui marketing materials. • This is the 18th largest lava tube worldwide and the most significant on Maui, with diverse cave paths that reach up to 40 feet in height. • Hana Bay Park is a centrally situated county park and beach, acting as the town center for Hana. • Wai’ānapanapa, translating to glistening waters, features Pailoa Beach, known for its black sand and breathtaking coastal scenery. • This location is essential to visit along the Road to Hana, ideal for finding a classic Hawaiian swimming hole and waterfall to swim beneath.
