A big part of the charm of Hotel Hana-Maui is its seclusion. To get there, you have two options: drive on the narrow and curvy Hana Highway or catch a flight aboard Pacific Wings Airline.

Hana Highway
The road to Hana is not really a highway. It's narrow and patched together with one-way and some two-way bridges. There are 54 bridges along the way, according to a plaque hanging at Hotel Hana-Maui. But can anyone be really sure? It's this "highway" that keeps Hana so wonderfully isolated.

Hana Highway features beautiful views of the coastline, waterfalls and tropical plants. In fact, many visitors to Maui (about 3,000 each day), take a day trip to Hana just to drive along the road.

The drive from Kahului to Hana takes about two hours. Traffic frequently comes to a stop near the bridges as tour vans pull over and let passengers look at waterfalls and plants.

Before you head to Hana, be sure to fill up your car with gas in Paia, the last town before Hana.

Flying to Hana
Pacific Wing Airline offers daily flights to Hana, either from Honolulu, Oahu, or Kahului, Maui. Be sure to let Hotel Hana-Maui know when you'll be arriving so that they can pick you up if you don't plan on renting a car while in Hana. The flight from Honolulu to Hana costs about $75 one way per person.
