Stop At: Hana, Hana, Hawaii
After 52 miles of winding traverse through the Hana Highway, better known as the famed 'Road To Hana,' and you've made it to Hana Town! Hana is a 4,500-acre area previously owned by the Unna Brothers who, in the 1800s, raised sugar cane. In 1935, the area was bought by Paul Fagan who began raising cattle in the area. Today the Hana area is owned by a group of local and mainland investors. Hana is a quaint little town that offers Maui visitors a place to relax away from the mainstream lives they've almost all come to escape. Hana is certainly the place to go to get away from it all. In Hana you can grab a bite to eat at one of the three restaurants in town, you can go shopping in one of the small stores, and you can even talk story (chat) with some of the local folks.
