I have been going to Hawaii every since I was a little girl with my family.  We go once a year to see friends and family and of course just relax.  One of the things I’ve heard about from time to time, but have never really experienced, is the Road to Hana.  When my step-dad, Darrin, and friend, Amanda, were up for the adventure we decided we would check out a few sites on the Road to Hana.  I wanted to see a waterfall and a special beach and I’d say we got both!

Our first stop was Twin Falls which is a few waterfalls a short walking distance from the parking area.  At the opening of the path is this cute little farm-stand.

The path ways are very easy and also very lush.

There were a few wet areas but that’s part of what makes it so beautiful!

We also ran into some bamboo!

So green!

Views for days!

Love these vine covered trees.

After Twin Falls, we drove on to Keanae Beach which was stunning.

Those ocean blues never get old.

The Road to Hana is very pretty, don’t get me wrong, but I wouldn’t spend the entire day driving it.  The roads are squeezed and you can see just as beautiful sites on other parts of the island.  These two stops were definitely note worthy and would make for a great trip.

A few last snaps from my trip!

My favorites 🙂

I even attempted some waves.  I like to give it a whirl whenever I’m on the islands because the water is so warm!

Family!

The best coconut/banana shaved ice in the world with mochi on top… SO GOOD!

Amanda and I watched the sunset every day on the beach with an ice cold beer, it was the perfect combo!

It was a great trip with my mom, step dad, and friend Amanda.  I can’t wait for next year!
