6. The drive from Keʻanae Peninsula to Puaʻa Kaʻa State Wayside Park is one of the most scenic stretches of the Road to Hana. Leaving Keʻanae’s rugged coastline behind, the road winds back into lush rainforest, with towering trees, bamboo groves, and cascading streams along the way.

The drive is narrow and winding, but every turn reveals another postcard-worthy view of Maui’s wild beauty. Puaʻa Kaʻa State Wayside Park offers a peaceful stop nestled in the rainforest, where guests can stretch, explore short walking paths, and often see small waterfalls and pools surrounded by dense greenery.
