Home to the black sand beaches... 
No need to choose just one
In the usual sense...
" there's little to do here"
No nightclubs, fire-dancers or high rises, 
nor neon-lit resorts...
However, Hana is considered one of the last unspoiled areas of Hawaii - a perfect place to enjoy doing  "nothing"!

There are many natural attractions, including Wai'anapanapa State Park (reservations must be made in advance), Lava Tubes, and Pi'ilani Heiau (the largest temple in Hawaii).  The eastern end of Haleakala State Park is 30 mins past Hanapapalani.  The park includes O'heo Gulch and a memorable hike up an ancient valley through a bamboo forest to Waimoku Falls.  The giant bamboo, clacking in the wind like a Roshi's call to meditation, prepares one for entry into one of the most majestic, yet peaceful, natural amphitheaters in Hawaii.

Waioka Pond
Hamoa Beach (pictured on our Home Page) is only a three minute drive.  Hana itself, just ten minutes from Hanapapalani, has a post office, gas station, gift shops, art gallery, two restaurants, a number of local "plate lunch" options, and Hasegawa General Store. (If you need it, they have it;  anything they don't have, you probably don't really need.)
Don't wait any longer to arrive in paradise
