A paradise close to home for many Americans, Hawaii has a distinct island culture and a laid back feel. Since Hawaii is made up of many islands, we will highlight our favourite road trips on the islands..
Take Highway 72 along the coast to Makapu’u Beach Park. This is a rocky beach spot with big waves surrounded by dark cliffs. Stretch your legs and take a hike up to Makapu’u Lighthouse.
Continue driving up the coast and you will reach the town of Kaneohe. While here, visit the Byodo-In Temple or stroll through the lush Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens.
Arguably one of the most famous road trips in Hawaii, this winding and curving road is not a long stretch at only 2 hours driving time. Though the distance itself could mean a quick drive up, one needs to slow down and experience all there is to see along the way to really appreciate the area.
Hana Highway is a beautiful section of road in Maui that winds back and forth along undeveloped coasts. Sparkling waterfalls, fruit stands, and bamboo forests will prompt you to stop your car numerous times. Drive into the town of Hana itself, then stop by the Seven Sacred Pools and up into the forests for nature like you won't see anywhere else in America.
Plan before you go, find a guided CD tour or travel book that gives you information to the sights you’re seeing and add some history and intrigue to the natural wonders. This is sure to be a road trip you’ll never forget.
