Hana Highway

169 km / 13.5 kg CO2
 translate  La Hana Highway, anche conosciuta come la Hana Belt Road, è tutt'altro che un highway, è un stretta strada che percorre buona parte dell'isola di Maui, talmente stretta che nella maggior parte dei 59 ponti che troverete sul percorso dovrete ampiamente gesticolare per mettervi d'accordo su chi deve passare per primo.
Altre 620 curve vi porteranno in giro per le foreste tropicali, con spettacolari scorsi sul mare e sulle più famose spiagge da surf e bellissime cascate (la più famosa "Seven Sacred Pools"): vi sembrerà di guidare nell'isola di Lost.

  • Ho'okipa
    Ho‘okipa Beach Park is located on the north shore of Maui, Hawaii, USA.

During the summer the waves are smaller. Ho'okipa is ideal for windsurfing because of its large well-shaped waves and strong winds. The name Ho‘okipa means "hospitality" in Hawaiian. While ever-present strong winds and powerful currents do not make the beach a place for beginners, experienced surfers and windsurfers flock to Ho'okipa for recreation and for windsurfing competitions.  edit   » read more

  • Jaws (beach)
    "Jaws" (Pe'ahi) is the name given to a big wave surfing reef break on the island of Maui in the U.S. state of Hawaii. It is located on the northern side of the island between mile markers 13 and 14 on the Hana highway and sits at the base of rolling sugar cane field hills. The surf break, a deep water reef break, is called "Jaws" due to the size and ferocity of the waves. The waves at "Jaws" can reach heights of 120 ft on the face of the wave, moving as fast as 30 mph. The "Jaws" surf break is the home of "tow-in" surfing and has reached its worldwide watersports fame largely due to the frequent filming and photography of tow-in surfing legends performing there on enormous ocean waves breaking at the deep reef off the shore; famed big wave surfers such as tow-in surfing pioneers (also known as "The Strapped Crew"-for the rubber straps on their short surfboards to anchor their feet against the forces) notably Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama.  edit   » read more
