2015-12-28While staying in Hawaiian villas, you may want to take an adventure along Maui's stunning Hana Coast. Recently ranked by National Geographic as one of the world's greatest driving tours, the eastern edge of this Hawaiian island features serpentine roads that entreat visitors to endless views of the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
Covering 52 miles, the road stretches along the eastern coast from Kahului to Hana and is perfect if you're renting a convertible for your vacation. If you're worried about the cliffhanger drive, however, renting a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended by National Geographic writer Jerry Camarillo Dunn Junior, because of the tricky terrain.
There are a number of stops along the drive for those staying in luxury rentals to catch their breath, including Pua'a Ka'a State Park, which features a number of waterfalls and swimming holes for you to take a quick dip on balmy summer days. About 45 miles into the journey along the coast is Wailua Falls, which is considered by many to be one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Hawaiian Islands. When the sun hits this 80-foot-tall spectacle just right, you will have the chance to see pristine double rainbows - a staple of any Hawaiian vacation.
