To find excellent views of Maui's beautiful coastline, all you need to do is drive. The Road to Hana is a scenic highway (Highway 360) that twists through the lush rainforest and past the cascading waterfalls that line the island's eastern shore. Most people start their trip in Kahului (home to Maui's main airport) with the intention of motoring 55 miles to Hana. Disclaimer: you need to do some research before hand to know where to stop, consider the "Hawaii Unveiled" app in the Apple Store for mile by mile walkthrough.
