Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
The Bamboo Inn (https://bambooinn.com) is an older BnB that I've been working at. It has a great ocean view and huge bathtub in each room. Hana Maui INN (https://hanainn.com/rooms/) is a cheaper place to stay in Hana. Hana Maui Resort by Hyatt (https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/hawaii/hana-maui-resort/oggal) is a great hotel with all the amenities. The rooms are nice and the pool is amazing. Probably the most expensive place to stay in Hana.

Question
Should I buy food before driving to Hana?
Answer
Absolutely! Please buy some food for you and your family before you drive the road to Hana, I suggest you grab some quick breakfast things, two lunch meals, and maybe one dinner meal (if you are able to cook). Snacks for the beach and adventuring are always important too! Water is okay to drink, but I would get filtered water. Some Airbnbs might have Brita filter water already. You are welcome to eat at all the food trucks, if you're not worried about spending money. Also there is two SMALL grocery stores here. Triple the price for everything. I highly suggest, if you are on a time crunch, shop on the target app or online Whole Foods option on amazon. They bring your groceries to your car! Makes shopping so much quicker. Costco is also an option if you want to go all out!

Question
Can I fly to Hana?
Answer
Yes! There is a small hopper plane that flys right over my house two times a day. Mokolele Airlines runs it. https://www.mokuleleairlines.com If you were staying at the Hyatt hotel I recommend this option, they will let you rent one of their cars, otherwise you should probably drive the road.
