From the island’s manifold, jaw-droppingly beautiful beaches to the temperate blue-green waters of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii fits its banal description as a paradise. Visitors can also Revel in Hawaii’s distinct and proud culture, which began approximately 1,500 years ago when Polynesian explorers discovered the island’s magical shores following a long, arduous sea voyage.

Luxurious, all-encompassing resorts line Maui’s beachfronts. Vacationers can spend a week on the island without leaving the resort’s property, save for the ride to and from the airport. Many tourists abide by this philosophy when visiting Maui, traveling across an ocean only to sequester themselves at mega-resorts. They are full of amenities and lazy comforts, but for an authentic Hawaiian experience, visitors must leave the resorts and venture out into the little towns, beaches, and rainforests of Maui, eating, conversating, and experiencing along the way. One of the best ways to do so is via the Hana Highway, commonly referred to as the road to Hana.
