Maui

The Valley Isle

Maui is the road-trip island. From the legendary 620 curves of the Road to Hana to the otherworldly moonscape at the summit of Haleakala, every drive here is a destination in itself. The west side delivers world-class beaches while the upcountry offers cool-air farms and vineyards.

Big Island

The Island of Hawaii

The Big Island is twice the size of all the other Hawaiian islands combined. You can drive from tropical rainforest to snow-capped volcanic summits, from black sand beaches to coffee farms, and from lava fields to lush botanical gardens — often in a single day. If you only have time for one Hawaiian road trip, this is the island.

Kauai

The Garden Isle

Kauai is the oldest and most lush of the main Hawaiian islands. Towering sea cliffs, river-carved canyons, and impossibly green valleys make it the most dramatically beautiful island to explore by car. The road system is simple — one main highway hugs the coast — but every mile reveals a new jaw-dropping view.
