It's a steep walk down which can be dangerous especially when it's wet. We were trying to find a place to park but all the closest areas had either no parking signs or cones. The closest parking area was a long walk away and at that point we weren't willing to park and walk down just to catch the waterfalls for a couple minutes. It is nice but the lack of parking makes it a hard place to stop.

After the (a bit disappointing) stop at the Twins Falls we parked here quick to enjoy the views. There are very limited parking spots available, except you're in for a walk. But that day we've been the only ones stopping there. This stop offers you amazing views of the coast and you can see the Road To Hana for miles! When you see the coastline, you really have to wonder and be amazed, how this Road has been built. It's a quick stop only, but rewards you with really great views and pictures. A must-do!

The Good: *Doesn't need to be said, but I'll say it anyway: free! *Great 180° viewpoint with almost zero obstructions. *Views of Haleakalā, as well as the islands of Molokini, Kaho'olawe and Lana'i. *Evidently, this is the spot for whale watching. I can't confirm this as we arrived in April, which is towards the end of the whale spotting season (November-May w/ peak viewing being Jan-March). *Fantastic spot for sunsets *Paved parking lot w/ a left turn pocket for safe exit if you're traveling westbound. The Meh: * The parking lot is fit for maybe a dozen or so cars, and I've heard it can get full pretty quickly. The Ugly: *There's some trails to get you down closer to the water, but I'm not sure if they're official or just "social paths." Regardless, remember my dad's rule #1: I told you not to be stupid, you moron. TLDR: Fantastic views at my favorite price point.

I love this highway a lot in my time in Maui. It is called the Hana Highway. I was a tourist there…read moreand I played one of the guided tours while driving this highway. The guided tour was on point with where I was on the highway. It played melodies and instructed turns and upcoming paths. Driving this highway was pretty difficult because there were narrow turns and everything was just narrow. Any slight mishap can land you down the ocean. The breathtaking part about this highway were the trees! I love the trees so damn much that I had all windows rolling down. There were mango and eucalyptus trees everywhere. I smelled mangoes and eucalyptus the whole time. The eucalyptus trees were a good refresher and awakening call! They also purified my car and got rid of any food odors from meals I had in the car! Thankfully they acted as a perfume and air freshener! The whole car ended up smelling like eucalyptus! Luckily these eucalyptus trees were everywhere in Maui! The whole ocean was all around the highway! The ocean water skep sparkling from the sun! The highway was very flat and not much hills. There were some parts of the highway that felt like I was driving on the ocean. There were people surfing. There were some points on the highway that allow you to go into the ocean and just take a swim or dive. I did stop in the middle of the highway to snorkel. There were so many colorful fish as you go down and deeper into the ocean. Very beautiful fish. The beach was also save because I left my belongings on the branches of a nearby tree and nobody stole it even though there were people chilling on the beach.

The road to Hana is a very narrow and windy adventure. You will come across lots of lookouts, a…read morehidden lava cave, a few snack shacks, hikes, and several waterfalls all right along the highway. If you want to go all the way to the town, you'll be spending the majority of the day getting there and back. But if you just want to get a hike in and see all the waterfalls, it'll take half the day. Also there are no street lights, and it can start raining, so if you want to make it back before sundown, get out there early. Most of the road is through a tight & curvy mountain highway with lots of one car bridges. You'll be going between 10-20 mph for miles and miles. You may even see an accident like we did. There is a reason why they coined the phrase "I survived the Road To Hana." I have taken a tour out here, and driven it myself in rental cars, and I recommend both. Although if you're a hesitant driver, or if you get car sick, it might not be the road to take. It's an amazing experience though, and I will always make it out here when visiting the island of Maui.

The gargantuan steel structure and smoky/sweet smell greeted you as you drove up Lahainaluna Road which was covered in dust, caked-on red dirt, and cane stalk remnants.

Come present day, the only surviving artifact is a majestic 225 foot high smokestack that has been beautifully restored into a free visitable monument, complete with restored locomotives. For the past six years (since 2009) they held an event known as the Lahaina Plantation Days that showcased plantation history, exhibits, arts, crafts, entertainment, and food booths, which benefitted the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. Sadly the event's finale was this year, 2015.
