Maui (Day 2)

Day 2 was the infamous drive to Hana. It was a narrow and very windy road with small one-way bridges to cross. This is pretty much a whole day event driving from Kahului around the whole east side of the island and back around.




Along the way there are several waterfalls and coastline scenery. There were big falls such as this first one called Three Bears Falls.




And not so big....


Our favorite spot of the day was the black sand beach. There were many trails to walk along and huge waves crashing against the coastline and fresh water caves.






The red sand beach in Hana was amazing as the sand is a deep red and the water along the beach is a light refreshing blue that contrasts with the red sand.






For the drive back we drove along this stretch of road that was pretty much an unfinished road with dirt and rocks. Some of the guide books say the road ends and you need a jeep to cross this upaved road to get to the other side. However, the book we had said we were fine. We were adventurous and tried the road in our small rental car. It wasn't too bad, some parts even less rough than the highway itself. It was worth the drive as we saw beautiful landscapes. Maybe we'll post some video of it soon.
