That look from Hensley when you asked if she was going to take a shower….😂
Ha! Totally agree!
I could see the wheels turning in her head. Priceless!
Yes!!! Her look was saying a whole ton of... NOPE! Not happening!!! lol
As always your channel handles your intense experience with the impatient driver, some of the Locals, the knock on your door in the middle of the night by the Police...in such a introspective, resolute, and tactful manner~ I was Happy to hear you still thought it was a worthwhile drive~I just kept thinking...what beautiful memories you are making for your children ❤️
Thank you so much.
Maybe a little empathy for the most remote town/islands in the world being over run with post covid tourists on a budget. Heed no parking signs, don't trespass and camping in Hana has been against the law for 25 years. Great title though, should get you a lot of views and make locals look selfish 🤙🏼👍🏼🤙🏼👍🏼🤙🏼😘
I loved the video, but I have lost my desire to visit Hawaii. I will spend my vacation time and money where I feel welcome and appreciated.
You guys are absolutely amazing. Keep your heads up and remember that the good things in life aren't always easy. God is good and we are praying for a safe and wonderful adventure for you and your family. 🙏🏼
I love the "mandated" sunrise. People need to have more of these.
Hawaii is facing its worst recession in 50 years. The loss from the big industry of tourism has hurt them. The locals should have been informed. Glad you guys practice LNT and pick up after others. Great life lessons for the kids and others. Thanks again.
MARISSA, you look amazing and so happy. Hensely’s look when ask if she wanted to shower was classic. Hats off to you Nathan for incredible driving skills. Absolutely gorgeous scenery. Thank you. 😀
50 years ago I went on a tour of four islands in Hawaii with my grandmother. When we got to Maui, we went to Hana with some other people in a station wagon. The only thing I remember about it is that we all got car sick from the winding roads! So, I appreciate your videos showing the beauty of the place. Can't wait to see more of your adventures!!
What memories y’all are making with your kiddos…and for yourselves…magical, just magical💞
Yes! Yes!!..Traveled the road to Hana. Beautiful!. There are 620 curves. There are 59 bridges, and a lot of narrow highway. When we went in 1985 we took a Mini van, and a local tour thorough there. I'm glad we did. Was able to focus on taking pictures, not the treacherous drive. On the way back we picked up a bumper sticker that reads "i survived the road to Hana" I fully understand its meaning..after the drive.. :^)
I spent 4 of the most amazing months of my life exploring Hawaii, and your assessment of the locals is spot on. Fortunately for you guys, your attitude was also! You're exactly correct-there is A LOT of history (that happened not too long ago compared to the rest of America's history) and enough locals (understandably) still harbor a lot of resentment towards mainlanders and tourists. It made me happy that you guys took the time to understand and respect why/where the animosity is coming from and didn't let it ruin your trip. Also, Marissa's mandated order to watch the sunrise cracked me up! I'm so glad your family had a wonderful time.
Thank you so much.
Lived on the Big Island for over 20 years. Your experience with Maui cops was indicative of almost every cop I knew in Hawaii, and I knew many on 4 islands. Great guys and gals who love their jobs in law enforcement and know tourism foots the bill for them to provide law and order in the most transitional sociological society imaginable. Beautiful Hawaii and the people!
haha, omg, i am loving this video, and then i cracked up just now when he said, about the banana bread, “i cant taste it, I’m focusing on not dying”. made me truly LOL!
😂
So awesome! Thank you so much for taking us along on the trip to Hana! My wife I visited Maui probably 20+ years again and drove a small rented car on that road so we can really appreciate Nathan’s driving skills navigating the van on that road. We had totally forgot about the bamboo forest (which was mind boggling when we walked through it to the falls) and the seven pools. Thanks again for that trip down memory lane! 🙂
Omgoodness, that black sand beach 🙌🏼 😍😍😍 Absolutely beautiful! And that Hawaiian bathing suit looks so pretty on you Marissa!
You all are much braver than I am. Wow...what a trip. Thanks for taking us a long. Blessings
The bamboo forest is at the end of Hana, well worth the trip. Mahalo.
Thank you, we visited there when we were on the island this summer. Great stop.
“It’s dinner tom “ 😆Love Marissa’s dialect and your family’s adventures and journeys!
Keep ‘em coming!
I LOVE real life videos like this! Sharing the good AND the bad! Thanks for being real.
The road to Hana is soooo beautiful!
Yes it is.
It’s awesome to see you guys have comments back! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of camper van life in Hawaii, looks like an awesome place!
Thank you guys. And great to connect with you. It’s been a while!
This is my favorite of your Hawaii videos so far. I’m sorry you had to experience those situations with the rude drivers but your family is so sweet and you too are such inspiring adults. You are proof there are decent empathetic people still around in this world. I’m over 65 and I’m so thrilled to be able to follow your travel adventures. Hawaii is on my bucket list of places to see. I don’t camp but I can still see a lot of these places. And I already feel I’ve seen such amazing places with you. That road to Hanna was best experienced with you very nice people. Your kids have such great examples of how to treat other people in you all. You are giving them such wonderful experiences. And thank you for sharing. We need more people like you Marissa and Nathan in this world. Loved seeing these beautiful sights!! .
I loved watching this!! I think we were in such an exhausted state, it was hard to appreciate the beauty fully! Looking back at the trip this way is so wonderful, thank you. ❤❤
Originally from Honolulu & went for school for tourism. I think everyone is still on edge due to covid and the surge of tourism the little islands are getting is super stressful even for locals who normally don't mind tourists.
Thank you for sharing beautiful Maui. Twenty years ago we rented a jeep and traveled the road to Hana with our 8 year old and stayed in a treehouse cabin up a mountain from Hana. It is one of our best family travel memories. Thank you for helping me to relive it. Safe travels!
We are glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
Just beautiful. I’m so sorry that there were some trying to negatively impact your stay. You two are awesome.
My wife and I had a wonderful experience on the road to Hana long ago. We arrived at Maui just when United Airlines went on strike, reducing the number of visitors significantly, giving us unprecedented access to all of Maui without the crowds. That trip was jaw dropping and perfect, from the sunset sailing, Haleakala, to the road to Hana.
Beautiful Island 😍😍😍
We did that too. It was beautiful and memorable
I love how Marissa is so genuinely excited to be in Hawaii. You can tell how much she is enjoying this trip. Safe travels.
Thank you so much.
LOVE WATCHING YOU ALL IN HAWAII..I LIVED THERE FOR 14 YEARS, AND IT SURE MAKES ME HOMESICK..ENJOY..
I love that you guys always have a positive attitude toward situations! There is so much hate in this world that we need more people like you! Thank you for your awesome videos! It always brings a smile to my face, watching your videos!!🙃
Thank you so much.
You met Karen in Hawaii, lol 😆, it's nice to see you having such a good time, and Hensley learning all the plants and trees so beautiful. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy
You two are giving your children the best education there is. There is no substitute. Don’t get discouraged by the locals freaking out. They’re the 10 percenters ,and they are everywhere you go. Keep doing what you’re doing. You guys rock!
Love your precious family so much. Even through the not so fun times you all stay positive. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Kim!
Enjoyed your journey tonight but my favorite moment? "I love you Mom" Mine has been gone 3 years now and you can never tell them I love you too many times. ♥️
Totally true!
It was wonderful to see your family enjoying the same sites we visited with our children 15 years ago. Great memories!
Brilliant guys - love following your adventures
So glad you enjoy!
Mandated Sunrise! I LOve IT!
😀
The look on Hensley's face when her dad was showering was priceless. lol Being a native Montanan living between Glacier and Yelllowstone parks this video has reminded me to always be kind, even though this year has been challenging with everyone and their dogs (literally) are traveling and being tourists.
Thanks for the memories. I've driven the road to Hana twice. 1st time was in a 15 passenger van, second was in a regular car. your comments about the locals was spot on. I got the 1 finger salute a couple times. But I was rather intense behind the wheel and was driving that van more like a local. the locals were trying to force their way past and make me stop when I had the lane. even smacked mirrors with one of them that was being aggressive. But it's memories I'll never forget.
Oh, and you know how you know you're approaching Hana without the GPS telling you? Your arms and right leg start getting fatigued! :-)
We took the road to Hana in 2009 with our 3 teen sons for our 25th wedding anniversary. The road was not crowded at all like you witnessed. We went to the same black sand beach and we actually ended up in Hana and ate at the only outside “restaurant “ there. Instead of going back the way we came, which took 3 hrs in a rented Chrysler 300, the locals said the faster way was to go north and around the head of Maui, we got there and it was even scarier cliffs, and then it turned to a dirt road, the landscape changed and it was dry and the mountains were covered with volcanic boulders. Our rental car wasn’t supposed to be taken “off road”, but luckily we made it back what seemed like much longer than getting there. Somehow, we ended up on the south side of Maui by the blowhole and not too far then we could see Haleakala and then Kihea. What a beautiful trip with nice locals, other than the one probably laughing that we took his advice to take the rocky, dirt road and not in an SUV. 😂 Love and prayers going out to Maui and especially the West side and Lahaina during the devastating fire. 🙏🏼❤️
Love your videos every week. Thank you for making them and always telling how it is, the good and the bad. If everyone cared as much as you do for our parks and natural areas, locals or anyone for that matter would be nice to everyone. How did that man not know you were from there and showing family the beautiful place where you live? Patience pants should be sold at every store!
So happy for ya'll in doing this journey of Maui! Hensley will always remember this trip now that she is a bit older!
What a wonderfully, amazing life you live. AWEsome! 💗
Rudeness and selfishness seems to have become the national religion here in the US. Sad. Hope the good human interactions outweigh the bad on your amazing trip! ✌🏼
Fear and impatience are global right now. It's amazing to me that you all are traveling at all. As you know Canada is being much more cautious and most of us aren't traveling much in our own country. Covid is not beat yet .....I hope you all are getting your vaccines. It's our only hope. I miss cruising and loved my trip to Lahaina, and had heard so much about the road to Hana. You did a great video of it. Now i feel like I've been there. Thank you and Cheers.
So great reliving the Road to Hana with you. We did it on a one long day trip. Wanted to get the last little section to Charles Lindbergh's grave but with those narrow roads and trying to meet tour buses coming the other way we got spooked and turned around shortly before getting there. That road is definitely an adventure worth experiencing. And, have to agree, that banana bread is awesome!
I have to admit I'm the suspicious type: the local that told you no one gets told to leave from where he told you to park? That feels like it was a set up to me.
Many transplants who move to the islands like to call themselves local. Many people born here are local, but not a native. As a kānaka maoli (native Hawaiian) I’m suspicious as well. Whether we agree with people or not, we wouldn’t put anyone in that situation. Especially out in rural and remote areas.
I spent 2 incredible weeks there on my honeymoon a LONG time ago. We were in a house on the ocean and it was just incredible. The prettiest beach is the red sand beach - it's a hidden gem. Once the locals realized that we were there for more than a day or two, they were super nice and friendly.
It's actually on private property and it's discouraged to stop there
@@bethbacon6552 only the trail leading to it is on private property. I stayed in a house down the street and they didn’t mind us accessing it. It’s truly magnificent if you can find it.
Sometimes people just suck!! You just keep being who you are…if only all people could be so nice and respectful. Hope the rest of the trip is fabulous!!!!!
Thanks for sharing. What a lot of fun! We didn’t get to the Hana Highway trip when we visited Maui. Not sure we’ll ever get back. Thanks for taking us along on yours!
When I visited Maui in the 70’s the road to Hana wasn’t paved. We had to book a tour guide to drive us over the road. It was very rough, bumpy and scary. It is a very beautiful area though. Glad it is now paved.
How come it seems like Merissa has found the fountain of youth on this trip. She is absolutely glowing on this trip. Thanks for posting.
Hawaii must be magical 🙂Thank you.
Thanks for being open about the issues you faced. We all face them sometimes.
Glad that you are enjoying your vacation in spite of some unfortunate circumstances. Also glad that you made it safely down that road!
Wow! I can't believe you took that van on the road to Hana Me being decades older and wiser than I was the last time I was there, I'm not even sure if I would do it again in a car. Glad you all made it safely! I regret not buying the T-shirt. It's an exclusive club. "I survived the road to Hana". I don't realize what a big deal it was till years later. Especially since I am probably never doing it again.
When we where stationed in Hawaii we got daily post on our TV AFN telling us areas to stay away from, certain beaches and rural areas, also when we arrived at our base you go through family orientation of where not to go while living there … confrontation is common in Hawaii … they called us (military) Howie trash … so glad y’all took what happen with a grain of salt 😇
Thank you Carla. Navigating areas like this are definitely one of the tricky parts of travel. -Nathan
@@LessJunkMoreJourney What you have to realize is the police are allowed to lie to you this is known as coercive power, but you are not required to acquiesce to camping when you are not 'camping'.
Courageous and humble as always. I'd NEVER drive "The Road To Hana " in anything bigger than a compact car and I was that idiot on the news waiting for the waves during the Tsunami.
Thank you so much for sharing your trip to Hawaii - what memories you are making for you and your family plus sharing with all of us!!❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you so much!
-Henley’s reaction to the shower water- priceless! 😆😅😂🤣
From the black sand beaches of Hawaii to the white sand beaches of the Emerald Coast in Florida! Love to watch your adventures! Hug those kiddos for us too.😊
Hensley's face when you asked her if she was going to shower outside was priceless!! 😆
I have to say when I visited Hanna on my honeymoon back in 1983 there were no guard rails and it was not paved, the people were very friendly. We also had to yield to an oncoming vehicle (local) who had very graciously backed up for us. The road was not developed at all. I'm talking barely one vehicle wide & unpaved. I'm glad it is still as breathtaking as it was back then. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us 🙂
If ever it should happen again where someone is honking at you to move, simply put your van in park, hop out, and tell that person if they would be so kind as to get your van through the mess for you, you’re be more than happy to sit and honk his horn for him. Lol.
A beautiful and informative video. Glad to see the comments turned back on!
Love the videos! Thanks for sharing!
My hubby can relate with the driving issues of the Road to Hana. We didn't get to see nearly as much as you guys because we left too late in the day and were worried about driving it back at night (we did not stay the night there). So I'd recommend leaving really early in the morning so you have all day to explore and still get back to your hotel at night. I'd love to see that bamboo forest! So beautiful! We have, also, run into the locals/tourist attitude there...someday I'll tell you our story when we meet up in real life. But we STILL adore Hawaii and think it's one of the very special places on Earth!
First, the road to Hanna is gorgeous. I also appreciate that you guys show that it isn't always easy out there. It's sad that there's people who would call the cops on you without having proof of any wrongdoing. I'm glad that you guys were, overall, able to enjoy your time there though.
We did this in mid June. It was great to do once but I think I’ll pass when we go back to Maui. We went in the back way and came out the normal way. What a journey. You definitely have to experience it once.
Cool video guys , Stay safe out there. Love watching.
Man that brings back memories. When I lived there road to Hana was dirt. 😆. I remember swimming in the pools and using the flowers for shampoo. It’s like seeing my childhood all over.
You guys are great and loved your video, your family is precious. Thank you for respecting the aina, if everyone would be respectful then it would and could be a very different world. I love and have driven the road to Hana many times. My favorite stop is the arboretum and the painted Eucalyptus Trees, truly a magical an very special place place. It has to be challenging and frustrating for the locals, they had a year of no tourist, busy packed roads and parks, they say it was like the Hawaii of many, many years ago. Now I hear it's as busy as ever. I pray a balance can be found between the locals of Hana and all of Hawaii and those tourist who would like to see and experience these gorgeous magical islands. Aloha
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love you guys adventures.
I love bamboo💚, glad the officers let you guys stay.
This video is by far my favorite of Hawaii. But those roads where something else. But still my favorite!!! I just loved all of it. Sending many hugs and Prayers for safe travels.
So glad you enjoyed!
@@LessJunkMoreJourney You have no idea in how much I enjoy all of your videos💙💙💖💖
Glad you kept it real guys. Hitting a few bumps along the way, you're such gracious people. Enjoyed the vlog it all looked so beautiful and loved the black sandy beach very cool. Hensley bless her she is so smart. Safe travels guys stay safe.❤❤🤗🤗🇬🇧
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed.
Oh Wow! Thank you guys soooo much! I did this drive in early June with my friend and we took the one way route from the volcano then to park and then to Hana. It was 12 hours. We missed so many things but I was thrilled to see your video and the bamboo forest, black sand beach and waterfalls! Just so happy to see this and share it with you guys (again kinda). Many blessings and much love. Peace and Aloha! If you ever plan on doing Disney in So Cal…would love to meet you guys.
Absolutely LOVED THID VID! Sharing such beauty that I wont ever get to much appreciated! Kids will never forget as long as they keep viewing pics!! LOL shower!
born and raised in hawaii...sorry about your experience in Hana..love your videos
The Road to Hana was one of our favorite things to do on Maui. We did that on a tour; so, we didn't have the stress. It looks like you saw some incredible sights; got to camp on an incredible beach even though you got a knock on your door from the police. Your encounter with the police was very positive I thought. My hat is off to that police officer; he was very kind and accommodating to your family.
They were very kind for letting us stay.
Great video. Glad you took the time to capture all of that fun and adventurous views. There is a black sand beach in New Zealand too. I haven't been there either. Keep a travelin.
Absolutely beautiful! I’m glad you made it safely out of Hana! I guess I better not go to Hana.....I’m from NYC and we don’t take well to anyone yelling at us or giving us the middle finger!!! LOL
GOD Bless your Family! 🙏💗🙏
Finally we can comment, the kids have grown so much. Great video
Yes! Thank you!
We were going to go this year for our anniversary using points we have stacked up but most of the motels were closed, restaurants closed, parks closed. So we said maybe next year. I’m glad you got to go.
So sorry you were harassed by the locals 😔. Thanks bunches for sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly 🖖🏻👍🏻😘🙏🏻
We were able to swim in the 7 pools when we were there! It was amazing! Maui was one of my favorite islands.
Oh wow, awesome.
These video clips you shared show just how much more tourism is impacting the road to Hana. Our only trip there was in 2009, in October, and we experienced nothing but gracious folks along the way, but the traffic was not even close to the numbers I saw in your video. I imagine the impact does create bitterness among many of the locals, although your final morning encounter in the parking lot where the woman accused you of camping illegally causes me to think there are plenty of tourists who are not following the rules, especially in this post-covid environment and influx of new RVrs
Eh, I went as a kid with my parents around the same time (when most of the road was unpaved and the rental companies made you sign a agreement not to take the road to Hana which everyone ignored) and I mainly remember us being tailed by an ATV with a Hawaiian flag on the back that would stop where we stopped and meanmug us from a distance. Locals have never appreciated the tourists.
@@balkloth you answered your own comment as to why the locals didn't appreciate the tourists.
@@hawaiiguy1 it’s the same road. Sorry, it’s been the main draw to the island for a long time. My point, either way, is whether or not the road was well paved, locals haven’t wanted tourists for a while. Pretty sure the main reason is Hawaiian nationalism, but regardless
@@balkloth no it is not Hawaiian nationalism
I tried the trip back in 1994 and the road was not paved or had protection from the 1000ft plus cliffs. It was 9ft wide at best and had pull offs in case you encountered other cars. Ended up turning around it was so rough. Went back 5yrs later and half the trip is now paved roads and much wider. Where the hotels ended back then now extended all the way out. I am sure 20yrs later the road is all paved and nothing like it was.
We did the road to Hana on our last trip, and we went allll the way around the island. It gets really insane after the Seven Sacred Pools. The road become dirt and gravel, one lane, with sheer drop offs! But the view was amazing! In our three trips to the islands, we never encountered any hostility. I guess we've been lucky. Post-covid, it may be a lot worse. We will see when we go in October/November. We're not RVing, but using our timeshare and hotels points to visit all four islands. We've used the GyPSy Guide as well as Shaka Guide and love it. They're so much better than big bus tours on someone else's schedule.
So glad i got to experience the road to Hana thru you guys. Thank you for the journey. My wife laurel and I discribe our marriage as a journey for two...thank you again very inspiring.
❤️❤️❤️
Love this and yes .... my mama graduated to heaven in 2014 ... she told me the last meal she cooked for the family that her secret was she made it with love. Love this trip and gosh ... that road, yuck. I hope people in that area who follow you put the word out people will eventually stop coming. No tourism ... no money. Bless you guys
It's sad really. Most of us have no idea what dealing with tourists on a daily basis is like. Nate & Marissa are kind and considerate, but too often some people take on an entitled attitude. One person's "rude" is another's normal day. I live in a popular spot with lots of Amish so I see it on occasion. (Once I saw a bumper sticker that said, "If it's tourist season, then why can't we shoot them?" 😂
@@CheleBoxy I know people in Alaska who felt that way about tourist. After last year and the loss of so many small businesses they've had a heart change. Tourist are the life blood of any tourism place or town. Tourist also need to remember be kind this isn't your house or your business. Blessings
It definitely taints things when you are feeling a bit of hostility from locals. You guys rock. ❤️🙏👍😍😄
Thank You very much for your video. What beautiful places you explored. Sorry for the inconveniences you experienced. Great advice about how nature might change. I very much love living in the present moment. Peace..
That beach looks so gorgeous
I understand your experience ! I went to Hawaii and visited all the Islands in 1983 with my Sisters. We experienced hostility everywhere we went. So being from the south It was a shock that the locals were so nasty to us. I never went back.
Beautiful video, and beautiful family…… SAFE TRAVELS 👍🏼
You guys ROCK! Thank you for all the sharing. I don't think I will ever get the Hawaii. When Marissa was standing at the waterfall, I said jump as Nathan said go and she did! I would have jumped in too, Lady!!
Thanks. Who could say no to that?
Don’t let the Oscar the grouches out there get you down. You follow your heart, you follow the rules according to that state/city and you guys are doing fabulous can’t wait till your next adventure thank you for all your filming that you do.
So sorry that the locals gave you a hard but you stuck out. Can’t believe they are roof there. They depend on people like us like you to give them the money when we go there. But there was a light that was brighter and that was the hike with the bamboo and the black sand and the water fall and Marissa got to swim. And Hensley’s face about showering or not. That was cute. It will get better as you go along from now on. Hope you have a great week and beautiful day and see you all soon!
Thanks for the warning. I was thinking about renting one of those Camper Vans in Hawaii to avoid the crazy hotel prices, but now I know better.
As a person that lives in a touristy neighborhood…. Thanks for acknowledging that not everyone is on vacation.
Hanna drive was a fabulous experience, but we drove a smaller vehicle, did the pull offs for the locals and got the Shaka 🤙 But no matter where you go, someone may be rude. The seven sacred pools was amazing and Larry dove between some of them.
Glad you had some great experiences. We can’t wait to go back to Maui- Paia is an amazing small town.
Roadside banana bread is the most amazing.
Alice
We drove a small car down that road and it was a challenge but beautiful like you saw. Great video
Thank you for sharing the road to Hamna with us!
You are welcome, thank you for watching.
