Tolls & fees

This route is toll-free

The Hana Highway is entirely toll-free. Some private sights along the way (such as garden stops) charge a small entry fee, and parking at popular waterfalls can require a state park reservation.

No tolls to estimate

Enjoy the drive. Budget instead for fuel, ferries, and parking.

Traffic & road alerts

One-lane bridges mean frequent stops, and the road is slow by design. Start at dawn to beat tour vans, and yield to local traffic.

Driving tips

  • Fuel up and grab food in Paia or Kahului. Services past there are very limited.
  • It is the journey, not Hana town itself. Budget the whole day and turn back before dark.
  • Pull fully off the road for photos. Blind curves make roadside stopping dangerous.
