620 curves and 59 bridges through Maui’s rainforest coast.

The Hana Highway winds along Maui’s lush north-east coast, some 620 curves and 46 one-lane bridges past waterfalls, bamboo forest and black-sand beaches on the way to the village of Hana. Slow and narrow; mind the single-lane bridges, the blind curves, and the cyclists and stopping sightseers.

One-lane bridges and blind switchbacks threading Maui’s rainforest coast, every corner opening onto waterfalls and sea cliffs. Drive it without a clock.
