Review of Hawaii: Road to Hana

The Road to Hana is a long, winding road on the north side of Maui that has over 600 curves and 54 bridges. Nate and I used our Maui Revealed guidebook to map out our Tour of the Road to Hana. There were a million things to stop and see so we mapped out what we wanted to see.

One of our very first stops required what was said to be "a 20-30 minute hike". However, what it should have said was "45 minute rock jumping excursion through the jungle." There were lots of spiders, mosquitoes and weird fruit flies. AND we saw some fresh water shrimp. I definitely needed some gently nudging from Nate to make it through to the big payout at the end: a beautiful waterfall, and just the two of us to enjoy it.

Here is the documentation picture that Nate took to prove I actually did this and the water fall (of course it doesn't do it justice..but for affect).

Here was my personal favorite stop of the day: The halfway point where we enjoyed a shaved ice as big as your head. We agreed to split the flavor in half so we could each have what we wanted: Pina Colada and Mango. Yum!

Next, we stopped at Black Sand Beach. This was pretty cool. You can see in the picture that the sand really is black. It was one of the coolest beaches we saw on our trip.
