"At least it's a paved path..." Maui Off The Beaten Path Tip by KiKitC

On the west side of the island, up past Honokohau (rt 30 if heading clock-wise, route 340 if going north counterclockwise) the road becomes very narrow, with some of the sharpest hairpin turns we've ever seen. This 8 mile stretch is incredibly beautiful but be cautious. The road roller coasters up and down along the coast. Motorcycle lovers...highly experienced riders only. Great for Sportsters or small bikes. In a vehicle? If you're not comfortable with small (and I mean very narrow) roads, steep drops, hairpin turns with no guardrails, and one lane bridges...this is not your route.

But those roads offer the most intense, unspoiled views and was the greatest ride of our lives.
