Waianapanapa State Park boasts volcanic, rocky coastline contrasting with green lush fields, providing an ideal hideaway escape from the Road to Hana’s two-lane trek on Maui.
Many people drive both directions of the Road to Hana drive in a single day, which leaves not much time for hiking and sightseeing. Pitching a tent along one of the oldest trekking trails on the island is the perfect way to slow down and truly see the area, including its blowhole, lava fields, sea arches, and black sand beach. Campers will need to get an overnight permit in advance to camp in the park.
Address: Waianapanapa State Park, Waianapanapa, Hana, HI 96713
