Take a Breather

As you approach the halfway-to- Hāna point at mile marker 29, watch for a fruit-and-refreshment stand appropriately called “Halfway to Hāna,” and check out the banana bread, which is baked by the proprietor and comes with a glowing reputation.

Another quick stop off the highway is the tiny village of Nāhiku, one of the wettest spots along the northern coast of East Maui.

Today, Nāhiku Marketplace is best known for its coff ee shop, Up in Smoke taco stand and gift gallery. Nāhiku Marketplace is located at mile marker 29 on Hāna Highway; visit roadtohana.com for more information.
