We started Roadtrippingpt as a way to share our adventures with family and friends as we traveled the county working various assignments. Traveling as a career was never the plan, but it found us!

I think the seal is wondering, why will nobody pet me....
Haha probably. “Ever since the sign I don’t get pet”
I have watched like 20 Hana videos to prepare for my upcoming trip. This is my favorite vid. Made me feel like I am doing the right thing by staying in Hana for a couple days so I can take it all in. Thanks for sharing guys!
Thank you, we really appreciate that! And yes, definitely worth staying there and seeing it all due to the length of drive. Enjoy it!
This is the best Road to Hana video I've watched. The lady on here is so natural and the guy too. Video and couple are so relatable, felt as if I was on this trip with them. Other videos the women aren't so natural and fussing with their hair and stuff, but this lady is so natural and liked that about this video. Also, they're not trying hard to be funny or entertaining.
Thank you very much. We appreciate the comment. Trying to share how we really experienced it and be informative. Really happy you enjoyed it.
Have done the Road to Hana twice...I recommend doing a tour . At the end of the day very tired
If we ever go back, would definitely consider that so we can rest after a long day of adventures!
It's one of the best "Road to Hana" videos that I've seen. I have seen many.
Great advice breaking the trip up into numerous days.
That way, you're not rushing everywhere.
Hey we really appreciate that. One of our favorite adventures on Maui and tried to be as thorough as possible. I couldn’t imagine trying to do it all in one day and worth taking our time. Thanks again.

Thanks again Y’all Two!
Thank you. Happy you enjoyed it. Hope your trip is a lot of fun and happy anniversary to both of you. Enjoy Hawaii!
I just love this video❤ I drove the road to Hana forty years ago while on an unbelievable scuba diving trip in Maui. It's still incredibly gorgeous but there were only a couple of food stands on the road when I was there. Things have changed alot on Maui in forty years.
Well thank you very much. We appreciate that. Wow, that’s really cool to have experienced it 40 years ago and see how it has changed. Such a beautiful place.
And that’s one thing we regret not doing. Going scuba diving!
I recently drove there after 42 years ago. But Ilast time I did stop at 7 sacred pools and Charles Lindbergh final resting place.
@@tdnishio I'm so jealous. Now that I'm in my seventies, I no longer have patience for air travel. I live on the East Coast now and it's a long flight.
Two visitors to Maui on road to Hana were carjacked and robbed at gunpoint, say they were forced to run, hide and hike for their lives. Be super careful if you come upon a very narrow section of the road and it is barricaded, forcing you to stop.
That’s terrifying. As always be careful and try to pay attention to surroundings.
@@TylerandKari it's super rare to run into trouble.
Hana Bay😅
👍
Love you’re video. Can you recommend a reasonable hotel in Hana? My first time in Maui and very excited. Going in September
Thank you, appreciate the comment. So, we didn’t end up staying overnight in Hana and I don’t know much about the hotels. I will say however, we had friends stay at Wai'anapanapa state park cabins. If you go to the park website, they have cabin reservations and you can actually stay at the park and they recommended it highly. I think it’s a rustic style cabin, but could be a good option.
We are doing this in a couple of months. What shoes do you recommend for being in the water and walking around on the rocks without having to switch shoes?
Both of us have different brands but they are those water sandals with velcro on the back. I think we have keen. Though we saw people with just basic water shoes that slip on as well that seemed to work. That type (either or) would be good to not have to change constantly. If you’re doing a lot of hiking we did have regular shoes as well just in case.
I'm planning my trip and am considering a 1 day tour of hana or staying the night in hana to do 2 days on the road. Curious where u stayed and if you'd recommend it
I think if you stay in Hana you may get to see more and feel less rushed., we didn’t do a tour but saw plenty of people on tours and it looked like they were able to see all the stops. I’m not sure if tours go beyond Hana but wel worth it if they do.
Because we were working on Maui for 3 months we didn’t stay in Hana. Just drove back to our rented place each night. Our friend was able to rent a small cabin at wainapanapa state park and if available would be a good option. Well worth it she said.
That’s a good idea, I think you’d be able to see and do more if you stayed in Hana. Then you won’t feel rushed and will really be able to enjoy the sights!
How far is the hike to Venus pool and is it fairly easy? Thx Patrick
The hike itself is super short, a couple minutes of pretty flat land. I would approximate it at 150-200 yards. The very last section (30-40 feet) is downhill and could be slick pending weather.
Just wanted to add the pools and hike right near the pools can be dangerous pending weather. It’s steep right as you near the pools.
@@TylerandKari thank you
Hawaii Id need reservations at wainapanapa? I haven’t been in yrs. Going sat.
Yes, they have more recently required reservations which you can get online at the states website for the park. If they are full, may be able to book a tour.

What Month was This?
We were there and explored Hana between September and October.
How long did it take you guys to do the whole trip?
we split it up into three different days because it allowed us to see nearly all of the drive as well as not rush. It can definitely be done in a day for a majority of the stops. But will be leaving before dawn and getting back after dark.
eating pizza with a fork...................
Haha yup. What can we say. Falling apart a little and very hot.
It was very hot; didn’t want all my cheese to fall off with the first bite 😊
Whoever is the Kristi who felt the need to carve her name into the rainbow eucalyptus tree, why? So we can see your name and think how self centered and without concern for nature you are? Why even be there? Obviously without gratitude for the experience.
Definitely bummer about that. Such beautiful areas and sucks to see stuff like that happen. Always trying to leave a place better than found so future generations can enjoy.
You missed the Red Sand Beach. The best little beach in Maui. A short hike from Hana. Put on good shoes because the trial is steep and rocky. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sand_Beach
Oh my gosh! Someone had told us about this afterwards too and we were bummed about not seeing it or including it in this. But hey, I guess we have a reason to return now! 😏
@@TylerandKari Next time rent a cabin in WAIʻĀNAPANAPA STATE PARK. The limit is 5 nights. The best cabin is #5, #4 is not bad too. $100 for nonresidents, and $70 for residents of Maui County. Our friend, the Maui resident, reserved it for us. No problems. Hana is only a few minutes away. Cabins are rustic but have hot showers, refrigerators, stoves, etc.
@@jkolodzinskiwe heard about those. They were fully booked when we went. If we get a chance to return this will be an absolute must for us. Sounds like such a great spot to experience the area and be close for the next day exploring Hana.
