I'm a very confident driver, but have learned I'm the world's most horrible passenger. And the signs that state 'falling rock'...they aren't kidding. Just not a great experience for any of us, truthfully. I can see how a bright sunny, no raining day would change that around though. I've jumped from an airplane, but found myself frequently scooting over to the middle of the car and away from the edge. ;) Hope everyone has a better experience! Aloha!

Beautiful. I recommend you read all the tips from these wise people above(and the official island ones). Challenging in spots but not that bad. A couple of locals had a little fun with us at the bridges, but it IS their home. Just get out of their way. Driven a lot of "drives" but this is at the top of that list with Bear Tooth Pass in WY/MT. I did it two weeks ago. Beautiful.

My recommendations for the best time are: plan on spending the night at Hana if at all possible - it made things much easier; rent a Jeep - we did the road beyond Hana and had no problems whatsoever.

It was over 20 years ago, and my husband and I were newlyweds, and had no idea what we were doing other than we did leave very early in the morning to visit for the day from Lahania area. it was during a drought, or a dry season, so there weren't any waterfalls. We totally missed the black sand beach, but there was a beach that was perhaps associated with a hotel that was in a perfect cove which had big waves, but no undertow - PERFECT. Would love to go back again and stay a while. Hana, and driving the road to get there, are among one of my most favorite travel memories.

Thanks for the report. The rental car companies never say anything about driving the forbidden roads, but the maps they provide clearly indicate the unauthorized sections of road and states that driving on them is a violation of the contract. There's some fine print in the contract as well. So, there's definitely a risk even when the rental car agents don't specifically speak it when you get your car.

We came in from the south side. What a crazy ride. We had rented a convirtible mustang and loved the adventurous drive. We had a few close encounters coming around blind corners and other people not staying on their own side of the road. The excitement of the amazing views and driving through the crazy terain will definitely be a memory we will never forget. My suggestion would be to drive the whole thing our rental company didn't say anything about not being covered but we made it anyway! just take it easy on the unpaved roads. Aloha!

The only caution I would add is that you should never leave any valuables in your car. Enjoy your time in Maui. After your trip, be sure and leave a comment to let us know how things go.

I have a few more questions/concerns before i head to Maui next week. we only rented a regular economy car for two of us since its more in our affordability range. is it ok to drive that kind of a car to Haleakala summit and on Road to Hana? i mean i have read on various other blogs that we need a 4WD. its scaring me now because i am sure all the rental locations must have ran out of all the cars by now for next week. we are planning to stay on paved roads all the time. if thats the case do you think we should be ok with our little economy car.have you any idea of how the weather is going to be in mid feb . i am worried that it could rain bad and we have to put off all our plans, driving all those scenic routes. also is it pretty safe to ride on the roads. i mean all of them in pictures look so beautiful yet isolated so i am scared of getting mobbed or something like that. Thanks in advance for your help. Highly appreciated Hi Sheila,

Here's some food for thought and ideas that may be of some help: - The Maui Bus might help you get part of the way. http://www.co.maui.hi.us/index.aspx?NID=609 - Hitchhiking is a bit more common in Hawaii than on the mainland. - I'm not aware of any cab service in Hana. - Per this Hana airport website, Dollar Rent A Car is available with prior arrangements from the airport. http://hawaii.gov/hnm/ground-transportation - Wonder if you could fly from Hana to Kahului? Hope these ideas are of some help. Good luck! Hi Jonathan –

My main concern is how to get from Kahului airport to Haleakala, as I'll be arriving between 5-6pm. Also, I'll be coming down into Kipahulu and will need to get back to Kahului to meet some other people on Oct. 24 (Sunday). What are your recommendations for finding transportation? I don't want to rent a car from the airport to volcano, because then I have to go retrieve it. However, I haven't been able to find transportation from Kipahulu to even Hana (where I could rent a car potentially). I've been frantically searching the internet for days now, and so far your blog and responses have proven to be the most effective and thoughtful. What would you recommend? Should I try to hire someone on Craigslist? Or, should I taxi from Kipahulu to Hana and rent a car? Should I try taking a tour bus from Kahului to get to the top? Please help!

We did a whole day of the road to Hana ( ended up missing the first two falls ). I'd like to point out that yes, the Guided CD tour and the book " Maui Reveled" are a good thing to ahve but to also be careful to what they tell you. Some points of the book and CD tell you about places and you go to them only to fidn that its private property! While yes, Some of the locals may not mind some will and you shouldn't go into the property. This happened many times and we ended up wasting gas. I'd also like to bring attion to the grave of Charles Lindbergh. If you get the CD guide it will tell you NOT to go vist teh grave due to that his family has ASKED that you not. So please respect his family and do not vist his gravsite. ( I do not think that the book will tell you this though. ) I just have returned from Maui with my parents and enjoyed it!

As I mention in this article, http://www.govisithawaii.com/2007/10/18/to-rent-or-not-to-rent/ Most resorts are approximately 45 minutes from the airport, so it would probably cost you a bundle just getting a shuttle to and from the airport. Plus, there's really lots to see and do on Maui that makes the rental worthwhile. Maui has some fantastic restaurants that are romantic and memorable for a honeymoon, but you'll need a car to drive to them. See my post on finding the best Maui restaurants: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2008/04/28/how-to-find-the-best-maui-restaurants/ As for what kind of car to rent, personally I always opt for the smallest car that has a trunk. I also recommend you get a quote from these guys as they always seem to have the lowest rates: http://www.discounthawaiicarrental.com/ Another preference I have in Hawaii is renting with AVIS. Their cars tend to be cleaner and bug-free. If you wanted to splurge for the road to Hana day and you've checked the weather report and things look clear, a convertible or Jeep is really a treat. It's nice to have the fresh air and hear the waterfalls and birds. Bear in mind that you will be driving through a rainforest, so there's a chance a shower could happen. Hope that helps and have a fabulous honeymoon! Sam – in my opinion, you are better off renting a car for all/most of your time.

We are coming out to Hawaii in mid-August and I want to ask you a question regarding the vehicle we should rent. We will be there for about 9 days. I am not sure if we will really need a car for 9 days (we will be on our honeymoon). I would definitely want to rent a car for a few days but I'd like to hear from you if you think having a car for 9 days would make sense? Would we really need it that much or will our resort (Wailea Marriott) and surrounding area have enough for us to do? Also regarding the Road to Hana, what vehicle would you recommend? I was looking at a convertible but I am not sure if that would be rugged enough for the drive? Could you let me know? Thanks again! Sam Hi Sheila,

I think you might be referring to Kaihalulu and it does have a challenging path to get down to the beach. Don't even try it if it's been raining. There's another beach near Hana that has bits of red in the sand and it's easy to find. See a photo and instructions on how to get to it from this post: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2009/05/12/hawaii-in-contrasts-red-and-green-sand-beaches/ As for how to get there and where to turn around, please read: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2009/08/26/should-you-drive-the-back-side-of-the-road-to-hana/ Regarding keeping your valuables safe, you are wise to consider that. We discussed that challenge here: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2009/11/25/keeping-your-valueables-safe-at-the-beach/ Also, you might want to consider going on an organized snorkeling tour where your valuables will be much more safe on the boat. Enjoy the road to Hana and Maui! Missy -

There’s another beach near Hana that has bits of red in the sand and it’s easy to find. See a photo and instructions on how to get to it from this post: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2009/05/12/hawaii-in-contrasts-red-and-green-sand-beaches/

As for how to get there and where to turn around, please read: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2009/08/26/should-you-drive-the-back-side-of-the-road-to-hana/

Regarding keeping your valuables safe, you are wise to consider that. We discussed that challenge here: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2009/11/25/keeping-your-valueables-safe-at-the-beach/

Also, you might want to consider going on an organized snorkeling tour where your valuables will be much more safe on the boat.

Enjoy the road to Hana and Maui!
