One of the many highlights of taking the long scenic drive to Hana is experiencing incredible views like this along the way. Even though the road itself has seemingly endless twists, turns, hairpin curves, and one-lane bridges, the main reason why the drive takes so long is that you need to stop so often along the way to whip out your camera and fully experience the raw beauty of this area!

Like the other Hawaiian Islands, Maui is a study in contrasts, and you can find yourself at flat sea level, deep in a tropical rainforest, or 10,000 feet high above the clouds at the summit of a volcano all in the same day!
