East Maui
 It’s
the journey, not the destination say some. But those who have lived
in Hana all their lives disagree. Their trips to town are made in
record time, primarily to get what has to be done, done but also to
avoid the languishing tourists who are not used to the single lane
road with a yellow stripe down the middle that connects the North
shore of Maui with Nahiku, Hana and Kipahulu.
A self sufficient community, with a general store, Hana Hotel and
other B&B’s as well as a few eateries make East Maui a fine visitor
spot as well as an exceptional place to live. A discovered secret is
that it is also an idyllic retreat for the rich and famous who seek
privacy to get away from admiring throngs.
The
Department of Land and Natural Resources maintains a campground and
cabin rentals but reservations must be made far in advance unless
you are impulsive enough to ask for cancellations and can go to Hana
on the spur of the moment. The cabins are fully equipped with sheets
and towels, pots and pans, dishes, electricity and hot and cold
running water. The furnishings consist of bunk beds and porch
furniture to spend quiet evenings listening to nature.
The
native beauty and intrigue of Hana has to be experienced and cannot
be explained here. Waterfalls, jungles of fern, ape and ginger
flowers are all part of the experience. You will never want to
leave. But then, why? Stay and enjoy.
