Ho’okipa Beach Park

Ho’okipa means hospitality in the Hawaiian language, and is nestled in between the Town of Paia and Haiku Town Center. You’ll drive by the legendary Mama’s Fish House Restaurant and Ho’okipa Beach Park will reveal itself a few moments later.

Twin Falls

This is the first waterfall stop on the road to Hana. Before walking down to the falls you can enjoy some freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, coconut candy, and locally grown fruit at the Twin Falls Farm Stand. It is an easy, short walk from the parking lot to the lower falls. If you would like to spend more time here, there is a one mile roundtrip hike to the Upper Falls. Daily tours of the farm nearby are available for a longer visit.

Huelo Lookout

The Huelo Lookout is a quaint rest top located in between mile marker 4 and mile market 5. You will quickly learn that the mile markers are just reference points, and have no correlation to the actual number of miles. They’re a bit wonky! Enjoy a view of the east island from here.

Maui Garden of Eden

At mile marker ten on the Road to Hana you’ll find the Garden of Eden. This is a MUST SEE! The Garden of Eden is a beautiful arboretum that was created by Alan Bradbury, Maui’s first ISA certified arborist. It is beautifully landscaped and has great views of the sea.
