Tucked away on the isolated coast of east Maui, Hana remains geographically aloof and serene in its splendid isolation. Visitors to this remote Hawaiian community will feel a great sense of accomplishment in completing the 52-mile-long twisting, turning, and cliff-edge journey from Kahului that can take three hours or more depending upon the number of "beauty" stops taken along the way. When the sign says "narrow, winding road", believe it! While the drive is an experience in itself, the sublime natural beauty and low-key ambience of Hana is best appreciated by those who plan to stay on after the exodus of day-trippers. Remember that Hana is remote and, for hosts and guests alike, life's essentials are sometimes harder to come by. Options for dining out in Hana are limited.
