The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a swimsuit and towel
Several stops include swims (waterfalls or black-sand beaches) when conditions allow—pack a quick-dry suit and towel in a dry bag.
Wear grippy shoes
Expect uneven lava rock and wet trails at overlooks—sturdy closed-toe shoes with traction will keep you safe.
Reserve Waiʻānapanapa access
Waiʻānapanapa State Park often requires timed entry; confirm with your operator and arrive with park reservation details.
Prepare for motion sensitivity
The Hana Highway has many curves and one-lane bridges—bring motion-sickness remedies if you're prone to nausea.
