Top highlights

  • High altitude400 m
  • Keʻanae peninsulaLava and taro and the first long sea view.
  • Wailua Valley lookoutThe coast stacked in ridges. A pull-off, not a hike.
  • Road qualityNarrow, wet, well known. One-lane bridges are yield-to-the-oncoming. Do not rush it; the ticket is for people who try.
  • PermitsSome waterfall pools and trails now need reservations. The highway itself does not.
